Yea thats something thats missing from the newer ones. The sound production is so good you can hear every yell and scream with perfect clarity. I kinda miss the clipping days.
One of my favorite AVGN rants at the end. I think this is the truly genuinely angriest he gets in the entire AVGN series. You can tell he was really channelling his childhood disappointment in that scene. Well done ep.
OmikronWeapon It’s probably both since this game was a part of his childhood, he’s clearly playing it up but some frustration from having dealt with the game when he was younger likely found it’s way in.
I always feel sad for the nerd at the end in this one. I think it's the hardest he's raged in an episode. I realize it's James acting, but it feels so genuine, like the anger and disappointment from when he was a kid bursting out.
@MannyTheFur I dunno, with the use of the health packs it looks a lot more manageable especially if you can find a solid way to farm them. I'm sure it can be looked up but off hand I'm not certain if a health pack heals you fully - maybe it just heals 2 stars
The ending makes this review my favorite. It actually seems like this game had actually hurt James and wasted prescious moments of his childhood. I don't think he's ever been this angry in any of his reviews.
12 YO's shouldn't watch these imo. They're too juvenile to understand the Nerd and too young to lear AVGN swears. Even at my 33 YO i still can't believe i missed some swears and i'm like WoW.
When was the angriest and most hurt you've ever been by something, which got you hyped and then turned out to be outrageously disappointing? Was it Suicide Squad? New Indiana Jones? New Godzilla? Star Trek Online? Call of Duty or Battlefield sequels? I felt this way about cancelling Megaman Legends and the C&C series.
Shady Rounds For me it's BvS. Those characters are iconic and can work masterfully in other forms of media like Injustice, Allstar Superman and Under the Red Hood.
because james had this as a kid, and could never beat it. this is a game james legit hates. childhood trauma man. him tackling it as the nerd is probably just therapy for him.
The impression I get is that Mike Matei was really the guy who played a much wider spectrum of games, whereas James was pretty much over gaming not long after he got an N64.
@@MelkorTolkien james was how old when return of the jedi came out? Cause that was 82 and james has said he was old enough to remember parts of it in theatres.
Every kid on the block was running around going "Fred Fuchs!" "Fred Fuchs!" "Fuch This" and "Fuch That!" My Dad said, "Why can't you just call him Fred Fooks?"
Yeah, this was back when he still did a prettttty convincing angry! ...What if the calm intellectual media critic persona we see in his 'more casual' video reviews and things is the mask, and the avatar of rage is his true self? o.O
ooc, james legitimately hates this game. he owned it as a kid and, could never beat it. that isnt acting on james part. that is pure, unadulterated frustration, built over 20 years, and projected through the nerd persona.
If you look at early AVGN reviews, where James is mostly going through stuff he played as a kid (this game included), he sounds much more convincing in his anger. Nowadays the Nerd is clearly just a character, but back then the Nerd was just James pretending to destroy his TV with sonic booms or whatever.
@@HazeAroundtheWorldThat's still acting. He's acting out a character. He has a similar moment of extreme anger with Board James too in Shark Attack iirc
+Valentine Maxwell Ariel Zwe Well you'd lose it too if a video game had that kind of crap in it. Seriously one life no continues? I call shenanigans on that
I actually became an electronics engineer partly because I wanted to understand why so many earlier games were so tough. Turns out a lot of it was early memory coding. Having the game remember such things as continue points, number of lives, and inventory items and item amounts was actually pretty tricky back then. Could be done, but it was only the game developers with the most saavy programmers that could do it. It's interesting looking back at these games and having some idea what was going on in the programming behind the scenes.
Colias Palaeno Some part of the reason is game makers came straight from arcades, whose philosophy was to be tough enough that you'd have to spend money on them.
@@fernandobanda5734 This is true. Also: if players could beat an NES game in one sitting, they wouldn't be likely to buy it, they'd just rent it once or twice instead. So since these games had such limited memory to work with, they had to make it incredibly difficult to try and extend the length of the game.
Shove it up your ass. Coding lives is one of the easiest things to do in games programming. It's literally a single if statement, a counter, and a decrement. There are many ways to make it harder and more memory intensive, but a basic go-back-to-this-location life system is utterly trivial.
No need to be such a Dickard about it, Angolin. But yes, techtronicman1's comment is only really valid for the earliest, non-CPU-based arcade games - the ones that used TTL logic. The NES had 2K of RAM built in, which is plenty for storing "continue points, number of lives, and inventory items and item amounts". And cartridges could also include additional RAM, up to 1 MB, which would be enough to store the full state of the game, including the positions of every dead enemy body, etc. Now, the Atari 2600 only had 128 _bytes_ of memory, in which case the argument holds a bit more water, but as shown by games like _Adventure,_ it's perfectly possible to code a relatively complex game state within those limits, if you're careful with your RAM usage. I wouldn't say you had to be one of the best of the best to do this successfully (almost every programmer during that era had to work within pretty severe resource constraints), but yes, you had to be a good coder.
@@angolin9352 Shouldn't the cartriges or the console itself have some sort of memory in order to do that? Like PS did with the memory stick. Instead they used the password system which is pretty much a cheat code as far as I understand. You can enter anyone else's password and it will work, that's basically a code which you say "I had x lives, y powerups and stopped in z in the game" with.
It's funny that he gets pissed but it's completely understandable. The NES had a lot of damn near impossible games. That's why there was game genie. This game looks like it would drive me insane.
...But in this one, he's exaggerating so much that it stops being funny. I've actually played this game. The driving controls are extremely simple, and the snipers are actually very inaccurate.
By far my favorite episode. Dont think he was in character for this, i could feel the rage coming through the screen. "I was laughing back then, but I'm not fucking laughing now"
Honestly my favorite AVGN review. The commentary was hilarious, it had some good scenes, and my god was his anger genuine, which I really love and wish he implement his anger more in newer reviews.
That’s actually part of the reason why the AVGN wasn’t originally going to be a big thing like it is now. James was just going to focus on the games he played and hated, and that was it. I think it was gonna be like 10 episodes, or something like that.
When the nerd threw his tantrum at the end, I laughed out loud but I understood his pain. It's what I wanted to do as a kid whenever I lost in a game due to design flaws in the game but couldn't because my parents would get mad at me for blowing up over a video game.
im currently 27. have been watching avgn since i was 12. it is such a feeling watching my past in the past about the past. im almost sad... i miss it.... i miss everything. i miss enjoying life as a kid...
As much as this game is shit, what pisses me off is it had so much potential, it could of been the ancient version of L.A Noire. But instead its just a load of ass
Benjamin Edwards Well, too bad I don't know assembly. Or anything about NES game development at all. I do have a bit of knowledge with Unity 5 (2D) though - but not quite enough.
"What did I do different?" The question I regularly ask when playing fighting game tutorials and I do exactly what is shown on screen yet I do a completely different combo/move lol
Love the fact that after all these years James is still making these vids. I was watching avgn in like 3rd grade lol back in like 2008 and still watch it today. This I'd say is my favorite episode of avgn.
Definitely. The clues, driving, and combat were good in that game. This one was not. Why are there snipers on roofs ? Is this Arkham City ? I used to have to write down the clues which was not acceptable for a detective game. If they left out the snipers and made the clue book and driving better, this could have been a fun game. It is an awful game as it is.
The way James destroys the cartridge is one of my favorites. His facial expression just makes it. Also, I think this is probably one of the few videos where his rage is probably more real than acted out, like some other ones are
Poignant, seamless, all stitched together into one solid and effervescent review. I can feel your sheer fury bubbling under the surface as you struggle to make sense of what happens in 8 bits on the screen before you. Godspeed, James, you and your reviews are a kettle of dynamite in the deepest pits of Hell and I respect them.
If there was ever an award for the youtuber that gives the most and out the most effort in to his videos....it’s the need. I love these videos they are so relatable
EeveonVania 2 I'm pretty sure whenever James does that kinda stuff for AVGN episodes, he makes a mock up of the game and destroys that. I don't think James is the kind of person who would legitimately have that little care for his games. You gotta remember that he's just playing the character of The Nerd, and he's not really like that. Whenever he does something ridiculous like that, it's just an act. James really cares for his games (even if they're bad) & his entire collection in general.
Saturn537 Of course he's not going for real. For example, he destroyed a copy of Zelda 2 trying to make it look like he destroyed an original cartridge of Nintendo World Championship.
The ending might still be his greatest rage ever, because it felt real, that didn't feel like acting, the audio getting blown up and his screaming, that was his inner child getting it all out

Definitely. The clues, driving, and combat were good in that game. This one was not. Why are there snipers on roofs ? Is this Arkham City ? I used to have to write down the clues which was not acceptable for a detective game. If they left out the snipers and made the clue book and driving better, this could have been a fun game.

To be honest, watching the vid made me angry, and I never played the game. I mean, the whole first aid thing would frustrate the hell out of me.

11 years later I still laugh at the thought at 'DICKARD'.
I love how it's a cop that tells you "you need more evidence". When has a cop ever needed the proper amount of evidence to charge you with a crime?
Good point.
Always, if they want it to stick.
Only when you're white...
@@flexmasterize We need to END racism!
@@Angie2343 we need to end the cult of statism.
A legendary crossover took place on this day on this same game
What was it
Avengers End Game?
@@sebastianriz4703 "This same game", idiot.
Poignant, seamless, all stitched together into one solid and effervescent review. I can feel your sheer fury bubbling under the surface as you struggle to make sense of what happens in 8 bits on the screen before you. Godspeed, James, you and your reviews are a kettle of dynamite in the deepest pits of Hell and I respect them.
Avgn is some of the best content I have ever come across on RUclips.
That part in the end HAS to be the only time where James as the Nerd seemed legitimately pissed off.
with better programming this would actually be a decent game
Lucas Garibaldi it’s called La noire
Lucas Garibaldi the sega Genesis version is better
Thats actually what makes it even worse lol
All of yall are wrong, it's called the Mafia trilogy
If there was ever an award for the youtuber that gives the most and out the most effort in to his videos....it’s the need. I love these videos they are so relatable
If Nerd makes a "Top Ten Angriest Nerd Moments" video, nothing will stand a chance against this one.
The drill part just killed me, lol.
me too lol and then the hammer :v
EeveonVania 2 I'm pretty sure whenever James does that kinda stuff for AVGN episodes, he makes a mock up of the game and destroys that. I don't think James is the kind of person who would legitimately have that little care for his games. You gotta remember that he's just playing the character of The Nerd, and he's not really like that. Whenever he does something ridiculous like that, it's just an act.
James really cares for his games (even if they're bad) & his entire collection in general.
Saturn537 Of course he's not going for real.
For example, he destroyed a copy of Zelda 2 trying to make it look like he destroyed an original cartridge of Nintendo World Championship.
Well, How about "Rick Tracy?"
Definitely one of the best Nerd episodes
gamegenie was invented for this shit
lmao, I in 100% honesty made that comment before he said it in the video.
Rgmekanic you forgot Ninja Gaiden! _ _!
Kenshin 811 Nah, Ninja Gaiden is best played without Game Genie.
Game genie in ninja gaiden is completely useless, check the episode!
Game genie was invented for games like this castlevania and ninja Gaiden
They should have put ANGRY in all caps in this episode's title
10:57 "And, you're never gonna shoot them before they shoot you!"
[Sees Mike Matei's play through video where he does just that.]
Just came back from that
The ending might still be his greatest rage ever, because it felt real, that didn't feel like acting, the audio getting blown up and his screaming, that was his inner child getting it all out
The cartridge kill at the end of this episode is probably my favorite of the whole series.
You can tell this was genuine anger.
"I am not a crook." --Dickard Nixon
this was probably one of the most legit angriest moments the nerd had
L.A. Noire did what this game tried to do but did it right.
sozaj love la norie
