I do have to say this though. When Craig said that the game was different for it's power ups, he wasn't being sarcastic. Screwattack loves power ups, so much in fact, there's a top 10 power ups video done by Craig.
I'm going to be honest, I like Craig and I love Screwattack. I love the VGV's because they are small entertaining looks at old games, not exactly reviews, if I want a review I go to the website and look under video reviews, not VGVs.
I get the feeling that Craig rarely played video games until he started to make internet videos about them. His bias against Sonic games & utter lack of RPG knowledge downright offend me when he talks like he knows everything about them.
@liveFinalFantasy Totally agree. In that way I do think he's like Bores, he only got into video games to make money. Screwattack really sucks now BTW.
@ResidentialEvil If you ask me, I think Game Heroes is even worse. Did you see their first impressions video on the E3 2010 Little Big Planet 2 trailer? It was biased beyond recognition! Handsome Tom complained that there was not enough gameplay footage, overlooking the fact that it was scheduled for a release in the following year, so showing off final gameplay footage was impossible for Media Molecule to do back then. Because of this, I don't watch GameHeroes videos anymore.
@liveFinalFantasy He also said Luigi's Mansion was shit, even though paid critics gave it an overall score of 7 out of 10, and that there are quite a number of people who actually enjoy the game (myself included). I sincerely doubt Craig even played that game, and I hate to listen to what he has to say about the upcoming sequel. If he ends up bashing that game for biased reasons like the first one, then he's going to piss off lots of people for it, and not even care about it.
To those saying Craig is a bad "reviewer": Video Game Vaults aren't reviews, and last I checked, were never claimed to be. They're just Craig (or whoever's narrating a particular Vault) taking a short look at old games, sometimes sharing some memories of them.
I think its obvious Handsome Tom was the guy with the actual game knowledge from when Screw Attack first started. Craig is just the guy who was cut throat enough to stab his friend in the back to make money off the site (although does anyone watch Screw Attack for anything other then Keith Apicary and the occasional AVGN?).
Have you seen Screwattack's VGV on Trojan? All that one was about how Craig traded his copy of Metroid for Trojan and never got Metroid back. He only talked about Trojan for about 10 seconds and the rest was just whining about irrelevant shit. I'd love to see a riff on that.
I mean he didn't explain anything about the game play, what makes the game good, all he said is "This game sold well because of powerups", that's all I heard.
Not really that good of a riff imo. I don't think there was much to work with. And your rebuttal was kinda overdone. I didn't know Felix was in a comic or an anime.
The review wasn't too bad, it was pretty vague though but VGVs aren't meant to be in depth anyway. I don't have any problems with Stuttering Craig, I'm not a fan of him anyway. I just don't the radio disk jockey voice he puts on and I disagree with his stance on 3D Sonic games.
Not sure about kids today but when I was a kid in the 90s I knew about Felix, I even had this game on my Game Boy which was the first game I ever beat. Good times :)
@DLAbaoaqu When you said Baby Felix was a 1-d Hamtaro, I thought Hamtaro was 1-d already. But off topic.
Now on topic, This video is alright, I do agree with all your rebuttals and you finally take on Stuttering Craig. His "reviews" are fucking atrocious. If it wasn't for AVGN, they're would probably be no screwattack.
The way he is talking about Felix that "You probobly don't know who this guy is" sounds like nobody knows him. A cartoon character who was around since 1919 'till 1995...that along shows how popular Felix was. Though it was overshadowed by Mickey Mouse, the popularity of Mickey didn't last that long, people still remember him since he is Disneys "mascot" which is now popular because random shows I don't care.
Err, that wasn't so bad. The only real criticism you had was that he thought Felix The Cat was obscure, and you didn't. I sure didn't know that he was in comics, anime and 50s cartoons.
Him again?! Bet it's gonna be on his Sonic Rush "review". (And if it is, hopefully I can get a good joke when you get to the "Sonic Fucking Rush" part...)
Well he offered little because it is meant to be a short video, a videogame vault. It's how he experienced the game back then, he did the same thing for strider on the nes.
Craig isn't that but even though he can be a dick. Still, sometime he talks about games about a subject he clearly knows nothing about to the point he shouldn't bother. The Asterix review was on par with a Boring Man review.
The main thing that annoys me about ScrewAttack is the fact they rag on something(for example, Sonic) only because a few games were not to their pleasure.
Looking forward to mariotehplumber next time. By the way, DLA, when can we see some more of your classic Irate Gamer riffs? You know, Ninja Turtles, Yo Noid, Contra, etc.?
Can I ask where the clip at 0.37 is from? Also where did you get the music because I swear it's exactly the same motif I heard being played in some old Soviet propaganda film...
@DLAbaoaqu I KNEW IT! Sorry I wasn't more explicit in my question It's just that saying "Is that motif from that Soviet cartoon where the guy hammers a star and stock footage appears" would have seemed a bit odd.
I don't like people who call the VGV reviews because they aren't. All they are is nice (or not so nice) little trips down memory lane.
Also am not much of a fan of your reviews, most of the things you have to say about the video are tiny nit-pics that seem to add up too make it look bad.
To be honest the video game vaults are not really in depth reviews. They are just little tid bits of past great or in some cases terrible video games.
And Stuttering Craig really isn't that bad of a reviewer.
For one thing I can tell he actually plays video games unlike some other ghost hunting retard we all know and love.
I'll give the guy this much in saying he's the best out of all the people you've riffed. But at the same time, he isn't really very interesting to listen to. Or that might just be me.
stuttering craig just likes the sound of his own voice and never talks about the actual game itself he just wants to tell lame ass jokes to make himself look all cool to the nerds online who 10 out of 10 his videos, the guy is a douche bag and not even a gamer.
Well, it doesn't hurt to try new things. After all, criticising something doesn't really mean you're doing it out of hate, it's just basic critiquing. Although I'm a bit suprised DLA decided on Stuttering Craig, but oh well.
I'm actually glad you decided to riff on this guy. When it comes to this guy, he barely talks about the actual game. Like in his Krusty's Super Fun House review, he talked so little about the game, and I actually know somebody who did a much better review of that game.
Of course my local video game store will have this NES game from the last century. >_> It always bugs me when reviewers say that.
