Not a fan. I first began watching after reading his "Extra Consideration," and thought his points were a bit inflammatory - his videos I just can't really stomach. Some of his points are just blatantly offensive (which seems to be the goal), but like someone said, he just doesn't have the humor or charisma that Yahtzee has to really pull off the schtick. It seems in fact like he models a lot of his 'persona' after Yahtzee, but he lacks execution. I disagree with Yahtzee on many points, but still enjoy his videos because they are entertaining, visually nice to look at, and he seems to be a little more thoughtful in his critique. What I saw of Jimquisition didn't impress me on those fronts.

He may have some good points to make, but he is just so uncharismatic, seems so arrogant to me, and I know that could be a joke, I just think his humor makes him seem like such an idiot and watching it seems so in your face. Also he makes slides with dicks on them, which I reeeealy don't like.
As a cynic I don't think I'd rate anything 'great'. Jimquisition is however 1 of 3 shows I regularly come to escapist to view.
I think it is pretty good. His first few episodes here were pretty "meh", but the recent ones have actually been really good. He is still not as good as he was on D-toid, yet. I will say that the show is about as good as The Game Overthinker in my eyes, but not as good as Extra Credits. I think his writing is much, much better than his videos though.
I prefer his work on youtube, and the first few eps on the Escapist were very bad (especially with the MS Paint stuff), but it seems to be finding it's own place now and is getting better. I don't get all the absolute VENOM that is directed at the series, but I can get why some might not like it.
Still, I doubt the Escapist would hold a grudge against someone just because he...say.... didn't like a game that is held in such high-regard like the Witcher 2 OH WAIT YES THEY WOULD.

Now that he's done putting in cocks drawn by 4 year olds, he's boring.
Admittedly I hated it at first, now I'm just bored.
While he may have a good point sometimes, EVERYONE does eventually. He just comes off as trying waaaay to hard to piss people off by saying obviously trollicious things like "thank god, for me", or
"Sterling's cause is more righteous and noble than anything a soldier has ever, ever done."
No one is actually falling for that... are they?
Captcha: sightsio infirumento. What am I fucking harry potter?

I think he's okay. His first few episodes were pretty rough around the edges, but given time, he could rise to greatness here on The Escapist. The key word being "could".
I also like how he plays FF9 music during his reviews. I love that game.

He sometimes has some good points and I have nothing against him but I can't say I?m enjoying his show. I don't find him funny. I'll give it one more go next time it updates and if I still don't like I'll stop watching *shrug*.
I like the show. Its not bad but its not great. I'm gonna keep watching but somehow I get the feeling that the show can become unfunny quickly.
I think he's ok, the show wasn't exactly a great acquisition for the escapist, frankly I think he's trying to be "Movie Yahtzee" if you get my meaning, combining elements of Movie Bob and Yahtzee to create something not quite as good as either, but nevertheless watchable
I dislike him and his show a great deal, although it's almost entertaining to watch him throw trolling tactics and insults around the monkey cage.
he isn't bringing anything new to the table
but its not by any means bad
the humors a bit off colour
but he does make some valid points

He makes some good points, but he doesn't seem to listen to his own points. His humor could use some work too...
Actually, I'm a big fan of the witcher series and that review made me respect him more because it was, you know, evidence of original thought. If his show followed the tone set by that review, it would be a lot better. People on the escapist don't like jimquisition because the episodes we have seen aren't very good or original.Mr. Omega said:
While the topics sometimes are interesting the presentation, more often than not just not suiting the issues. While praising oneself and adding random cuss words might be a way to build your persona in internet it doesn't appeal to me at all. I much prefer Extra Credit's style, they at least explain it rather than just throwing it out with just personal point of view.
I find it hard to understand the core purpose of Jimquisition, as in, what really Jim want's to achieve through those videos other than promote his persona, since so far it looks like talking for sake of talking.
