I probably shouldn't get involved in this, but... no, the context of AVGN's mention wasn't to claim he was the be-all-end-all. He was mentioning a counterexample. James Rolfe is "one of us", if you will, and an example of a particularly prominent figure disliking the game. Incidentally, I don't know if Rolfe himself actually hates Street Fighter 2010. The Angry Video Game Nerd, like the Nostalgia Critic when it comes to film reviews, is a character. As I understand it, Rolfe himself does enjoy some games the Nerd hates, though unlike Doug Walker, Rolfe isn't in the habit of giving even an unscripted, out-of-character review after the fact. Actually, I'm not sure even Doug does that consistently... Oh well. While there are often actual criticisms in the shows, the actors don't always hate a game/movie as much as their characters do. The entire point of AVGN is to emphasize the negatives of a game, to the point that in early episodes, he rarely had anything good to say. NC does this sometimes too, but from what I've seen, not nearly as much. Over time, both shows struck a balance and started resembling regular reviews, from what I've seen of recent stuff, skits aside of course. Street Fighter 2010 was an episode where AVGN was definitely in his "heavy emphasis on the negative" phase.

Great job on this @Matt Morgans!

I'm going to say what I think here. I won't pretend like people know what they talk about most of the time because it's been proven many times that not even us critics know.. If critics who are supposed to know about the media they are criticizing aren't competent enough to do a good review. Then why would a random user know what they're talking about? A lot of people either tend to be consumed by their own hype and tend to be blinded by the truth. Much like how @Alyxx pointed out: Opinions change a lot and a lot of people don't take certain key aspects into consideration while making their initial judgement. So you'd think I would be more lenient towards criticism made by media outlets.. However. This is the ideal that people have begun to be drawn to when it comes to the subject of "User Reviews" or "Reviews" in general. A lot of people think that an Influencer tends to be part of someone's payroll in order to review the game, as seen below: So, what's the best conclusion someone can draw from this? Well, obviously read the reviews from someone you trust and let your own experience be the judge of whether or not you can actually enjoy the games by yourself. Users don't really know much about what they're talking about because most of the time, opinions can change and people only look at face impressions rather than something on the long run. Some professional reviewers don't take multiple audiences and the long-term gain into consideration either. As such, I always tell people to trust whoever they think will give the adequate judgement and to make a judgement of their own regardless of whatever any critic has to say. If you enjoy the game, it's a good game. Nobody will take that away from you. However, people also should learn that enjoying something doesn't make it good automatically.. That's why we have to reach a common consensus based on opinions drawn by the masses and critics alike.

Your work is getting better and better. the dedication and commitment to creating something really fun and interesting is easily noticeable (this is relatively difficult to see on youtube channels). Keep doing this! xD

Yeah I mostly take the same decisions or paths (unless the previous path was boring). I always wanted to make different decisions or be the "Bad guy" but it just doesnt feel right.

Depending on the character's philosophy, their choices are always different and not two characters I create will ever make exactly the same choices for the same events in-game. I've created "villains" with good intentions but horrible execution of such intentions and I've also created "heroes" whose arrogance and self-righteousness causes him to make some questionable decisions. My characters are usually very complex (just like myself) individuals.

As a former Fortnite player (I don't really play it anymore), it is a multitude of factors. One thing about Fortnite is that almost anyone can play it with little to no practice at all and so it is extremely casual-gamer friendly. It's not a game that takes up a lot of your time as most match sessions last 30 mins maximum so most people can find time to play it. The game is constantly updated with very entertaining content and is maintained well by the Epic Games Devs and on top of that, the Devs do take customer feedback quite seriously. They do have micro-transactions in-game but it is completely by choice and almost anything can be earned in-game to buy season passes so you'll never have to spend a dime. The one thing about Fortnite that stood out to me at first was that the game doesn't take itself too seriously unlike PUBG and others in the Battle Royale genre.

It's been 10 days @DC. You any closer to figuring it out yet?

@DC Pay closer attention to the number sequences.
