Always loved your videos. You give me that sense of growing up during the 80s and 90s.

[@shardinhand1243]

hey james you heard of the retro style castle venia game infernax? its gory has lots of unlockable content and different endings, looks like a really solid homage to the clasic 2d games in the series.

[@earthsuyom4966]

Can you please review Famicom and Advance wars games as AVGN

[@a51mj12]

no.

[@CMCAdvanced]

You know, they did make a lot of games based on movies and shows that came out years earlier, maybe we need more of that to draw out the Demon LJN

[@MCAvenged]

You can tell how out of James element he is playing this because he says it reminds of him of Goldeneye lol

[@bibabutzemann5661]

Goleneye was one of the best games of my childhood

[@drizztdourden666]

At least goldeneye was complete out of the box & didn't had microtransactions & since it was only local multiplayer you didn't had to worried about having a bad internet connection just to play with others,i miss that.

[@killerbee412]

​@drizztdourden666 you showed him

[@Davidweedlove]

Is it not like Goldeneye? It seems less fun than goldeneye honestly

[@FilmTrekk]

Thats because Overwatch 2 isn't natural

[@SpunkyDunk]

How sad. James thought his vast knowledge of Contra, Doom, and Goldeneye would prepare him for this.

[@JS_2099]

Surprised James wasn't already into Overwatch. It's just like Combat on Atari 2600, basically.

[@concerneddennizen1027]

James should love this game. It’s an FPS, like Contra!

[@ramenbomberdeluxe4958]

Given the sheer flagrancy of modern gaming companies and their corporate greed, the Nerd would have had a freaking FIELD DAY with them had the character been used for modern day game reviewing. If LJN was bad, I would say for the sake of his heart, we give the Nerd a nice rousing round of ignorance is bliss on that one. Overwatch 2 is bad enough about it as is...

[@Fetchdafish]

Overwatch is 2 a pretty fun game for me, people are just understandably bitter over broken promises. Personally I can't bring myself to care anymore, it's just as fun for me as it always was, speaking as a very casual player. I've heard people say comp is pretty frustrating.

[@richarddukard8989]

He’s really missing an opportunity to give the AVGN character a renaissance reviewing modern games

[@dogf421]

i dont think he could physically do it, he would have a brain aneurysm and die from the rage

[@Justforvisit]

Let's never ever make him find out about the company "GameMill"....

[@themagnushickey]

Something about their chemistry seems odd to me. James and Mike seemed to be much more fluid.

[@darkfire8463]

James and Mike were more into older retro games meanwhile the neighbour friend is more of a modern gamer

[@AJSmith96]

It's the game

[@FlintGiven]

@@JacksonOfTheJerry Well he is some how a notch above James

[@kamelko]

John's psychotic cackle is wicked and infectious lol

[@TheZaius]

Overwatch 2 isn't the best... However, James is just playing a game his old friend really enjoys. It's nice to see James play something different and new, even the controversial games. Anyway, the Password Game is great.

[@danutmh]

Team Fortress 2 would have been a better choice , James would probably love it.

[@switch4960]

Tf2 is amazing

[@someoneusedtobeknown2645]

I kindof REALLY want to see James and Mike spreading democracy on Helldivers!

But everything changed when the shareholders attacked...and Bobby Kottick.

[@wa-bu3ke]

Same. All this needed was PvE and skill trees

[@Owlero]

I still do! It gets a ton of hate but if you ignore the in-game shop, its still a blast to play.

[@RememberHisLove]

Same. The lie of PvE and calling it 2 was the last straw.

[@toainsully]

Same here. Now I still play Team Fortress 2

[@kennygondales]

get james to play doom eternal!

[@Rafdog101]

2016 or Eternal. Or both! He'd enjoy those.

[@DrViperVideos]

Out of all the games to play.. why this…?

[@joeyisabsb1]

Near the end of the video James friend says he only really plays two games, Overwatch 2 and GTA V. So honestly there were only two options to get his friend involved in the "picking the game" process and James has already played GTA V.

[@Toddfrommario]

To be fair it is a popular game And it’s nice to see James’s opinion on and experience with modern games 😁

Anything above plat you will start seeing abilities being used more efficiently. Example; Instead of players using their ultimates for POTGs, they will actually use their ultimates for individual eliminations. In this video they were in bronze/silver.
