The reason why AVGN isn't what he used to be (in my opinion)

It's forced. He's no longer having fun doing it. Or at least not as much.

Compare his latest reviews & even the movie to his first reviews like Castlevania 2 or Dr.Jekyl & Mr.Hyde.

In the first reviews, he was genuinely expressing his opinion about the game and its flaws (the actual frustration was real), while now he says what his fans expect him to say.

If he goes back to the original formula and just starts saying what he actually feels like saying, I think it will make for a much better episode.

Yeah, him not having fun anymore is probably a big part of it. I think Board James is infinitely more enjoyable, much thanks to him actually liking that and wanting to get more out.

I feel this applies to YouTube gaming channels in general too. Maybe I'm becoming a jaded old-timer, but I have a hard time enjoying anything recent (past 5 years), largely thanks to it feeling like everyone's in it just for the easy money. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted!
