"I'm often late to the party, but... what a fuckin' party!".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5EzAh7ZkZI

Jim discovers someone pretending to be him leaving a 7/10 review for Odyssey [a full 24 hours before he's even played it].

Always takes me awhile to fall for any YTer, but I've fallen for Jim HARD - so many choice quotes here.

Enjoy ERA!

Spoiler

and thanks God for Jim

 

[Acquiescence]

That's bait tho isn't it.

 

[oddez]

Absolutely hilarious, both Jim's reaction and whoever decided to make that image. Incredible.

 

[LiK]

Haha, amusing

Yup, and not really good bait.

 

[Spinluck]

Gonna watch his thoughts, hear him out, and reply back with what I think.

DO NOT OVERREACT TO THE NUMBER SCORE.

 

[Bunkles]

It's going to become a meme now. Any new Nintendo game that comes out will be followed by a fake 7/10 Sterling review, followed by some Nintendo fan outrage, followed by a Sterling video.

 

[PK Gaming]

Funny and a little fucked up

 

[Beans]

They didn't even correctly spell Nintendo lol

 

[Zushin]

What's the cart racing game he's playing a couple minutes in?

 

[TLSLex]

That video is hilarious so far, I'm just at the part where he goes through the comments and I'm laughing so hard.

It's not outside the realm of possibility that it was real, which is what I think makes all the rage reactions even funnier.

 

[Grimsen]

Baity thread aside, I love how Jim deals with criticism.

Don't forget the 50 page thread discussing it each and every time it happens :-P

 

[Lost]

Watch the video before you post

Spoiler

maybe

 

[Yukinari]

Jim should just get it out of the way and put up his final review being Odyssey.

I mean id also like to see what he thinks of Sonic Forces since he likes Sonic 4 so much.

Wait Metokur (Also named Jim) did the fake review?

 

[Capra]

I love how the fake review still gives the game a 7/10, because that's the sweet spot between a glowing recommendation and an outright condemnation that elicits the most outrage from people.

 

[Nauro]

"cuckusition does it again"

lol

 

[brinstar]

good god those comments are embarrassing

 

[BoxManLocke]

Yup, and not really good bait.

Yeah the text gives it away instantly. Pretty disappointed, this could've actually been funny.

I'm going to miss Jim's reviews

 

[Silky]

I imagine YouTube commenters are the seagulls from Finding Nemo

 

[Drencrom]

I'm Tubby Fucking Hitler, Son.

 

[TheZynster]

OMG

Jim is playing Dynasty Warriors music in the background......such a great selection


is Jim a Dynasty Warriors fan?


very funny video

Jim 2 posted on his account from what RTs I saw on my TL, but I saw it from some random a while before the time he posted it so he probably didn't make it.

 

[Silvergun-Blue]

"Oh wait a minute, it says I wrote it"

 

[Pacote]

Thats gold jerry, GOLD!

It's not his score, someone impersonated him.

 

[Terra Firma]

SJW is a badge of honor, tbh. Dunno why people think it's some sort of an insult.

Tubby Hitler though...ha!

 

[Yoshichan]

NITENDO :lol

But yeah, fake screenshot.

 

[gaogaogao]

please dont copy jims title and actually write what the video is about

 

[kami_sama]

OMG Tubby Hitler's

 

[shimon]

Real or fake can you even justify a reaction like this over a 7/10? Is a number on MC really that important? Is 97 really that much worse than 98? I don't get it man...

 

[Deleted member 5864]

Not surprised.

He's British. He has no standards and fakes his opinions to suit his interests,
which is getting attention.

 

[Dax]

Anyone following Jim would have immediately known it was fake, he has recently retired to live the rest of his days on the family Boglin farm.

 

[DemonSwordsman]

Pretty funny. But whoever wrote that fake review did a good job. Reads like a Jim Sterling review. He should reflect on that.

 

[Saganator]

What was that kart racing game?

 

[KharmaPolice]

OMG

Jim is playing Dynasty Warriors music in the background......such a great selection

very funny video

He's actually a pretty big DW fan. He talks about it often in his videos.

Yeah. I wonder how many reviewers are willing to give Odyssey a "decent" score with the peer pressure generated by sheer momentum of 9s and 10s.

 

[Spinluck]

That was hilarious.

It's not his score, someone impersonated him.

Click to shrink...

Yeah I rushed into the video before reading anything, feel dumb now.

[Sgt. Demblant]

I always knew Jim was part of the Ocarina of Time Illuminati manipulating metacritic.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

The real crime here is how he pronounces DDOS, I thought you were better than that Jim.

ooo, going to have to give this a watch

 

[Dinobot]

I'd believe it even if it wasn't someone pretending to be him.

 

[Axisofweevils]

This was hilarious. Fake reviews!

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

Hold the fuck up, someone made a fake screenshot with that fake Jim Sterling review. People saw it and without even checking Metacritic or actually checking his site if it was real they just jumped to crazy conclusions? Absolutely hilarious. That little bit on Metacritic that wasn't even there was enough. LOL.

 

[j0hnniX]

I love how he twists the fat joke and uses it to sell his merch.. classic Jim. Lol. Love this guy.

 

[Necromanti]

I do hope Jim ends up making an account here eventually.

 

[FireBeaver]

Didn't Jim recently announce he would stop doing traditional reviews anyway?

 

[Zebei]

Man people take review scores way too seriously. Just because a reviewer doesn't think the game you are excited for isn't perfect isn't a slight against you lol.


I'm sure Jim must be loving not having to do any work and still managing to get some publicity.

 

[mute]

Hilarious.
