Angry Joe on Xbone Tomb Raider. His best rant yet

We won't know if MS made the right decision until we get the sales figures in about 14 months time, I don't care that MS tries to buy people off it is business, would make more sense to invest in some new IP with your own studios though.

But Square Enix should know better, they are seriously going to do an exclusive for a console that is being outsold at least 2:1 when the series is just getting started. Wonder what the deal was.

Whatever.

@xhawk27: sigh, are you trying to say Sony stole Bloodborne?

Because if you are... Then you are just being ignorant of the fact that the first Souls game (Demon's souls) was made by Scea with the help of From Software and the IP is owned by Sony.

Stupid lemmings, really.

Meh I don't see this as a big deal to make a rant video.

Someone really needs to get laid...i mean i get the PR stuff BS, that's bad...but is really not that big of a deal.

@intotheminx:

Ms have the money to buy everything. I don't like tomb raider so I don't care it's on the xbone and not ps4 (I own a ps4 don't have a bone).

This situation is hilarious though to see all the butthurt cows.

@edwardecl:

Ms obviously has to make moves and put road blocks in the way of the Sony ps4 hype train. The way games are selling on the ps4 I would say it's a good move even if it doesn't sell well on the xbone.

They can't come right out because that means lost money. LOL

Why the **** would anyone ever tell us their product is timed exclusive? Makes the whole premise entirely pointless. "Buy the xbone to play our game, or you could just wait a while or something". Yeah, if they actually confirmed it as timed then half the people would buy the thing, and all of those people would be impatient twats, the kind of people who pre order.

Joe is the voice of the people.

I didn't know people were upset about this.

lol that was entertaining still. Re-watching it, it just comes off as fanboyish, he needs to sleep on it and not make such a reactionary video.

I know this exclusivity deal is problematic, but that is some funny butt hurt right there.

Nothing against Angry Joe really. Guy makes some of the best reviews out there. But these rants are kind of hard to take seriously when it seems like he's about to cry the entire time. Kind of weird.

I only watched a couple of minutes of it and that was enough for me to know it's a dumb rant. He is aware these companies are competitors, right? If a company has the means to pay for an exclusive then more power to em'. It is often referred to as a console war, after all.

Not sure what his issue is, seems to be with the blog Crystal Dynamics put up. No business reveals the truth in PR, as they want to make it seem like they are still for the fans. As a business money is their first priority, and with gamers being the biggest babies in all of media crying at every little decision, it is impossible to make all gamers happy.

Crystal Dynamics would have accessed whether it would be better to go with what ever Microsoft offered or go multiplat, and they decided Microsoft will lead to more money being made. As a business after money they require no justification for abandoning any fans on other systems. No company will be immune from that, even Valve if offered enough money will drop their pants for any company.

Well, by the time ROTTR is released more people will own a Xbox One I imagine lol. If they give Tomb Raider the same advertising campaign they gave Titanfall It could be pretty successful. What people are failing to realize is that MS probably offered SE a ridiculous deal that could give longer life to the reboot. For all we know it's enough to cover their losses or plan for the third installment. We need more details on the deal, but that isn't going to happen.

Also, I'm willing to bet that the deal involves a PC release at some point since MS is trying to back PC users now.

I actually liked the reboot a lot. but I won't be buying a Xbox One to play the sequel. I'm hoping the deal involves a PC release at some point.

lol at cows

How can anyone watch a professional whiner for 15 minutes?

The fact he rants about "making" the game popular is the typical entitlement attitude of this day and age.

The game was popular because the devs did a good job of making it.

This guy is a douchebag.

Hang on isn't AngryJoe and xbox fanboy? What's his problem?

and Bloodborne is being made by SCEA too. On top of it is not even a sequel either, it's a new IP.

But nothing of worth can be expected of a lemtool. I mean, they prefer xbox...

pretty sad.

Are they seriously bleeping out 'god' but leaving in shits and fucks? sat wut

I love Joe but really was this worth a rant? Feels a little forced.

Ironically AngryJoe is at his best when he is taking the piss, or being funny/corny. Instead of him being angry.

I did like his desperate personal video about the YouTube copyright takedowns, though.

It's going to be a timed exclusive, you can quote me on that :)

Edit: Unless it flops so hard that they bury it in the dessert.

Um...that's what I pretty much said. I normally don't follow people that whine a lot on the internet, and that I could have been mistaken...see it's in the space right above your comment.

Anyway I still don't understand why an "Xbox and PC" only person would get to the point of almost crying in a video over TR becoming an Xbox exclusive. Anyway it's not that important.

Don't waste your time. Angry Joe is really lowest common denominator.

Joe using the lastest scandal to get clicks? Next you'll tell me that's what basically every site does, like gamesp..........oh.

I don't really care if he's a fanboy. His videos just aren't that good. He just comes across as an asshole.

No he's not. He's cool and one of the best youtube personalities out there.

Sounds good to me. I find religion more offensive than swearing ;)

Joe has 1.5 million subscribers. His reviews pull in 75-85% of his subscribers, every time. The man does not need to click bait. Ever.

Yeah, Justin Bieber's pretty popular too. Must be quality.

Want a good game reviewer? Look up matthermatosis or charlie cade. They can do more than scream expletives and tell the viewer the popular opinion. They actually give really in depth thoughtful analysis.

We'll agree to disagree. I find him unctious, abrasive, and unappealing.

Why does it seem cows glorify these Sony troll characters like this guy, Adrian Warden and El Presente or however you spell their names. I guess birds of a feather flock together. This Tomb Raider butt hurt is real and so wide spread. Well done Square Enix, Crystal Dynamics and Microsoft.

Definitely an awesome rant. Watched it last night. Love his rants. They are hilarious. His reviews are good too. Especially if the game sucks.

ROFL. Damian needs Average Joe to make him feel better about the shot in the balls cow took.

Actually they weren't. It wasn't until the Edge article that it was confirmed to still be coming to PC

Same how they weren't clear at E3 that Grim Fandango was coming to other platforms, same with LBP3

Please explain how they are awesome...I watched it, and it seemed like something that would be shat out of the mouth of a 13 year old. Nothing funny, witty, anything. He is literally getting angry about things that companies do. Guess what? Exclusivity involves a whole bunch of money changing hands.

But you're pretty biased so your opinion is taken with a grain of salt.

too*

It's a good thing you don't... oh wait, you are here as well, which would make you one of the "everyone." Or was that implied?

Anyways though... I could care less overall, but understand why some people would be upset by the PR BS talk. Nothing new.. Companies treating their customers like they are stupid or ignorant (depending on the way you look at it), because the consumers don't have a choice, where as the big wigs believe they are pulling the wool over unsuspecting eyes. The world goes on, and the dense corporate puppet heads swell as their inflated egos lead them to believe they are outsmarting the public. I think the rant was more about the fact that the "public" isn't buying into the vast amount of sugar coating, and he wishes that people would just say it like it is. That requires balls though, and with the people that actually DO buy into the BS.... well, lets just say, telling the truth could backfire as well, but it sure as hell would gain much more respect. Problem is "respect" isn't always profitable..... and so goes the corporate world these days. Sell to the highest bidder, not the loyal, trustworthy, base that got you to where you are today. #sellout We wonder why quality, originality, and loyalty is a dying breed, but the answer is right in front of us. Money/Marketing/Technology. The importance of the first three is overshadowed, due to a materialistic society looking to maximize profit margins at our expense. Which sadly enough is just about a MUST these days since most companies have gone the same path, and steamroll those who pose a threat by thinking outside the box. However, it is not mainly the gaming industries fault since vanity is overly stressed and graphics push development costs to extreme heights while cutting budget from more important aspects of design. In such light, giving props to companies like Nintendo is paramount. Staying true to your core is risky these days and doesn't have as much immediate upside, but often pays off over a longer stretch of time.... That is why I salute companies like Nintendo and Koei. While MS and SONY appeared to be "in for the now" in recent years. NOW SONY is paying the price of greed, and MS is going to have an uphill battle. Patience is a virtue and longevity is most often achieved through building trust.

Wow... anyways, I guess I proved your point about taking things too seriously, even if in a round about way that isn't necessarily directly tied to gaming.. lmao. I truly didn't care about what happened in correlation with TR... then I went and wrote a term paper... :P

what timed exclusives has sony bought? i cant think of one? i thought they just bought exclusive dlcs

And cows wonder why they're the jokes of SWs hahahaha damn what a bunch of self entitled losers.

NEWS FLASH cows!!!!! The game is a timed exclusive

Stop your crying about it already.

@-Damien-: This guy is a jack ass.

I will never buy another Tomb Raider game now. I have bought them all. PS sells more for them than xbox. They don't need our support obviously since M$ paid them a lot of $$$$.

I hope it was a lot, because this will make a lot of PS4 owners never buy another Tomb Raider. When the makers of Tomb Raider see how badly the PS4 continues to outsell the X1 they will see their mistake.

"PS4 owners will never buy another TR"

LOL yeah right. Yes you will.
