These people who threaten murder over a video game...
I mean I am a fan of the series and it has always been hated and gotten bad reviews so I am used to it but aren't these assholes who do this not used to it? What a bunch of idiots.

I think the context here is that Sterling has always loved Dynasty Warriors, and been one of its more ardent defenders over the years.
Will never understand this people that takes a game so seriously that will send death threats to another human being for criticizing it
True but still, we had this before with DW6 which he hated as well.
Not sure what they expected when DW9 was a huge overhaul.
Jim is generally one of them.
His "betrayal" may have unhinged some of them.
You'd think someone wouldn't care about people criticizing an unambiguously bad dynasty warriors game.
Imagine aligning your self worth so closely with a video game series that you become enraged when someone critiques it.
I personally can't.
I personally can't.
And people wonder why gamers are still looked down upon.
Threatening murder over a freaking video game is NOT okay and those who do so should be ashamed of themselves. Or get caught if they keep doing it.

"No, Dynasty Warriors 9 isn't bad."
I... the person truly is unhinged.
You're allowed to like DW9, I just don't agree
I could see myself getting pretty bitter if I were huge in to the series then all this happened.
Over Dynasty Warriors? Like death threats are always unacceptable no matter what, but who is getting upset over Dynasty Warriors
If I had to take a guess, its the bit about how the game is not ambitious at all, that drove some mad lol
If you're a somewhat famous persona and you haven't received at least some death treats you aren't really famous.
Probably was some kid getting all mad and throwing a hissy fit.
I really hope it was an immature child :|
Jim has been going in hard over Dynasty Warriors 9. After watching 3 of the videos he's done on DW9, I definitely feel he's got a platform to speak on this one. One can just tell by his vocal mannerisms he loves the series but loathes DW9 for everything it did wrong.
Death threats over valid criticisms of a game...really? C'mon man, let people have their opinions.

Well, a sizable percentage of gamers are right wing nutjobs, so it's just as well.
Is the shithead that sent Jim a death threat also going to target a bunch of Amazon reviewers as well? Because I just checked, and DW9 is getting thrashed over there.
Not sure why some of you are stuck on it being over Dynasty Warriors as if that makes it even more unreasonable.
Srsly.
That's a whole lotta death threats one has got to send right there.
It doesn't, it's just a random series to get upset over.
Like replace Dynasty Warriors with Cooking Mama.
Death threads are always stupid.
If a franchise exists, of course there's going to be fans haha
