Topic	Jim Sterling's Top Ten Shittiest Games of 2020
htaeD 12/30/20 5:49:08 AM #51:	Paratroopa1 posted... Jim Sterling's content isn't really to my tastes unfortunately. I'm kind of tired of the old 'angry video game nerd' tropes and dwelling on negativity and if someone's gonna talk about stuff they don't like I'd rather it be from a more constructive point of view, even if I do generally agree with his opinions. I'm sure not all of their content is like that, maybe it's just the stuff I run into, but every time I see their stuff it kinda reinforces my first blush opinions of them. HeroDelTiempo17 posted... Personally for me it's not the negativity but how Sterling reveling in the negativity has become kind of their brand. I hate arguing over tone but that's legit what it is for me. I get way more mileage with both well-reasoned constructive criticism from people who like AAA gaming but can't be silent about its flaws and from scalding takedowns from people who cannot stand it. Sterling meanwhile takes this weird medium and the cutesy, irreverent way they present their points just takes all the weight out of it even if I agree with them. The criticism somehow becomes so over-the-top negative that it just falls flat. I can see your argument, Jim made a video about this very topic. They discovered that despite everyone clamoring for more positive videos, they just dont do well and Jim is stuck between covering good stuff and surviving on the youtube algorithm. Though I still think Jims arguments are well reasoned and constructive. I can see how they come across as forced, but I dont feel they are. DeepsPraw posted... Him making a big video whining about China is what put me off for good Oh no, lord help us all if someone complains about China.
