Pretty much this. I don't like him, but I don't hate him either. I watch his videos to see what he has to say. Sometimes, he has some pretty good points, I think. Sometimes he's funny. Sometimes he doesn't have either.loc978 said:
Seriously guys, if you don't like him: Good for you! Don't watch him.
If you do like him: Good for you! Keep watching him.
And everyone: Grow up.
I think he has potential to make something great, but I cant quite point out what. He needs something... I don't know if its general production quality, acting, his theories or his persona.
Perhaps, its his very persona designed to make him stand out, is his downfall... people see him as too arrogant yet not appealing like Yahtzee... meanwhile his arguments, either Extra Credits standards or mere raging is enforcing us to perceive him as arrogant.
The latest episode made me lol so + points there. Since I hover the escapist everyday like a wraith waiting for new content (even though I know the release dates) I am likely to continue to watch Jimquisition in the future and watch his progress. So far, it started very poor and is starting to slowly increase in appeal imo.

Plus the fact that his sense of humour sucks and he's become more and more of an arrogant, egotistical... something. I prefer reading what he has to say in a column, like in Extra Consideration- he becomes more tolerable when I can't see him.Kahunaburger said:
I do agree that he brings up valid points once in a while, I do not like his shows. I guess one of the main reason is the fact that I do not like his voice or personality... For some odd reason, his accent sounds fake to me, and as a wise man once said "worst personality is a forced personality". Some people tell me that his personality is suppose to be like that, that it is his alternate persona he puts on for the show, but while people like Stephen Colbert or Yahtzee does it well, and it feels kind of natural, Jim just can't seem to do it right. Oh, and a minor complaint I have is his visuals... which isn't that big of a deal, but still bothers me
He's a guy with a camera and an opinion. He has nothing to offer in the way of originality. My eye twitched a little when they allowed him to talk on that tri-discussion that occurs every once in a while on the escapist.
I rated it poor however because he is atleast trying, but I've stumbled accross average blogs with social commentary that almost makes me piss myself out of laughter because how else are you going to make an opinion original?
Moviebob has his own thing going but I only watch his big picture because sometimes he gets factual or obscure. I dont want to know what he thought of the latest pirates picture because my opinion means alot more to me than his.

The guy has 0 charisma in my opinion, he makes a few good points, but he comes across as a bit of a dick. I'm sure he's a nice guy in real life, but he really doesn't come across well.
I didn't like the show at first, but the more recent ones are interesting. You just gotta get past the persona and show format.
Besides if you don't like it, don't watch it.

I have been a fan since he started reviews on Destructoid, and I'm not changing that view.
he makes good points and is very funny to watch, most of the people who whine about him are the ones who are upset because he said X wasn't good, or that gamers are Y....jeez guys its not like he murdered your dog.
In short thank god for Jim!.

The arrogance is annoying as hell. It would be better served if most of his points were right, instead of just a couple here and there. His opinion holds as much weight as anyone on the forums, not entirely certain why he has his own show. I watch it, but find it rather tasteless to the pallet.
Not great, but still much better than MovieBob's fat fanboy ass. At least Jim can make me laugh.
I believe he chose 'gaming's biggest douche' as his title and it certainly fits.
That is literally the only positive thing I can think to say about him, his self-chosen title of being obnoxious fits him really well. When he's not being insulting and crass he's just boring. I watched three videos and have bade farewell to it with nary a backward glance.
Bring back Lisa Foiles.

I certainly dislike him. Yahtzee's ten times funnier then he'll be, Extra Credits is ten times more informative then he'll ever be and hell Movie Bob is ten times the troll that he'll ever be.
His jokes are unfunny, I've heard almost every point he's ever made a million times before and frankly, after reading a deconstruction of some of the things he's said on Twitter and his articles respectively... I don't much care for his attitude regarding women.
I did agree with him on the Call of Duty defence episode (provided said rule can also apply to Halo) but that's about as far as I think it'll go and frankly even then he kind of came across like a douchebag.
I guess what I'm saying is that I could live without Jim Sterling in my life.
