ok this is getting annoying. people all over the internet say that the Irate gamer is just a rip off of AVGN and he plagiariezes everything AVGN says. ok in their back to the future reviews both say a lot of the same things why?? because there not a lot of things to say anyways about the horrible game. the music, the graphics and the length of the 1st level. this really needs to stop AVGN said himself if two people saw a movie or played the same game they can express their own opinions there wasnt a sign up sheet. who cares seroiuisly i wish this would stop and also people think Nostilga critic is a rip off??? he does movies and tv shows. come on learn to think.

well may fav AVGN episode was superman 64 review - my god that was a bad game

best irate gamer was probally the one on super mario 2

and the best nostalgia critic one is the one on nicktoons

post your favs here 2.



sorry but i had to say this. dont post if all your gonna do a rip on one person.

Maybe he's a rip-off because he steals footage from James?
Or maybe because he does reviews of games James has already done?
Or maybe he's a rip-off because he just isn't original?

He really just isn't entertaining either.

I never heard of AVGN, but I like NC more than Irate Gamer. NC is more irate than irate gamer when he reviews something bad, and is sarcastic enough to make it funny. Not only that, but the bad games NC reviews are for current systems, and not pre-N64.

Nostalgia Critic is a movie reviewer.. not a game reviewer.
Or so I say. Appearently he reviews games?

I kind of enjoy both AVGN more than Irate Gamer due to the fact that he puts up more videos. But Nostalgia Critic is still my favorite out of the three when it comes to critcing at least.

i enjoy all three of the guys work and dude Irate isnt a rip off my god. why cant u think for once. it's not a race to the finish on who or when someone reviews a game. who cares who reviews when or what first. if chris (irate gamer) wanted to do a review on a game that james (AVGN) did, let him u idioits

I forgot to add that the Irate gamer deletes any negative comments from his videos.

Haha. Your hilarious.

My point was that the Irate Gamer is not original, nor entertaining.
What started with the AVGN, was a "nerd" who did reviews on really bad games, and got super angry at them (suits, don't it?). Then he'd usually "destroy" the game in some way.
Irate gamer does the exact same thing (Even reviews the exact same games, using some of Jame's footage that he took himself), only worse. It's not original, and it's not funny.
Plus IG is a pretentious *******.

well would u want stupid **** on your vids?? thats a pointless arguement, it's like saying the cd-i zelda games are zelda games because they have link and zelda when we all know they suck monkey ***. and can u prove that?? umm i hope u know chris runs his own company is well. takes time to edit crap and get game footage on. besides again (i know i'm spamming this but) theres no sign up sheet who cares this post was mostly to discuss why u like them

So, it's 3 guys who all reviewed the same game and all got angry at how much it sucked...

...ok

Why do we need 3 of the same kind of reviewers?

Truthfully, I don't really care for angry reviewers at all.

Actually, neverchris doesn't review old games. There isn't a neverchris review of Back to the Future. My link went to one of his wii reviews.

Well I didn't click your link, but I'm confused since the OP wrote down he meant Nostalgia Critic AND quoted you in saying it wasn't Nostalgia Critic in the same post...

The only god beneath AVGN ( ;-) ) is imo the Happy Video Game Nerd (HVGN).

He ironically presents himself as the Yin to the Yang of AVGN and still has his own style when it comes to reviews. In addition, his reviews are actually useful because you really want to buy that old games after he presented them.

Vulcan pretty much stole the words from my mouth.

Not only doesn't Bores even try to have his own style, he just isn't a good reviewer/comedian in general. Also, he wrongfully deletes any comments and even entire videos talking bad about him. The guy is really just in it for the money, and that's all. No soul, no thought.

NC reviews movies and shows, so I don't know how he got involved in this.

Neverchris is also a good reviewer, but he unfortunately gets a lot of crap since he reviews new games. (Which obviously has bigger fanbrats.)

AVGN, by far. NC is decent, and I personally find Irate's voice very annoying.

I don't know who IG or NC are, but I don't like the style of AVGN at all.
Why do you need to swear every other word to make the point that a game is bad?

I enjoy the reviews from Zero Punctuation, but that may be because he is overly British :laugh:.

Yeah Irate is pretty much a rip off. He not only reviews the same games as AVGN, which in my opinion isn't bad at all, but he says the exact same things and shows the exact same footage. Also he is not funny.

Was it AVGN that reviewed the Power Glove?

...I thought that one was funny because he was talking about how horrible the glove was, than he was surprised when he was actually able to do something with it he couldn't do with the controller.

Okay, I'm confused. Is NC now the abbreviation for NeverChris? I never knew the guy so like most people I just abbreviated Nostalgia Critic NC. If were talking about PURELY game reviews I checked out some of the NeverChris videos and I have to say.. he's mediocre I guess.

I prefer AVGN in a way. I enjoyed his Super Mario Bros. 3 and The Wizard review, but I saw Irategamer first. I guess I still prefer AVGN since he comes out with episodes faster and what-not.

Avoid responses like this, please. "If you don't have anything nice to say," etc.
What am I supposed to say? It's like making a thread to choose between ants on your food, lice, or chronic back pain. AVGN is a gimmick that got dull after one video, IG is a complete ripoff of said gimmick except done by someone with absolutely no sense of comedy or even a vague idea of what makes something entertaining, and NC is just like an average reviewer without the professionalism or good voice who happens to get angrier at obvious shovelware than others.

If you want me to state it nicely, AVGN is the best. If you want something that's actually worth watching, though, Zero Punctuation is infinitely better than any of these.

Edit: IG would be the chronic back pain, by the way.

I wholeheartedly agree with that. They are some of the only review that I enjoy.

Are you kidding Zero is funny. Irate just screams AVGN. His accent is the same as well.

Just face the music, Irate gamer is seriously a ripoff and he doesn't make me laugh.
