comment
Joseph Anderson is a video game critic and writer best known for his lengthy and exhaustive videos analyzing different games on his YouTube channel, starting with Dark Souls in 2015. Since then, he has amassed over three hundred thousand subscribers, with over a million views on videos discussing Fallout 4, the Uncharted series alongside The Last of Us, The Witness, God of War (PS4), Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Prey (2017), No Man's Sky, and The Witcher.Anderson also streams many of the games he plays on Twitch, with reuploads of these streams later appearing on his second channel. Compared to his mostly serious review content, Anderson's streams are much more laid-back, featuring running gags and memes, chat interaction, guest appearances from his partner and children, and occasional tea drinking.

Death of a Child
 Joseph Anderson (Web Video) / int_269e82c1
comment
Death of a Child: Joseph is a father of four, and will never hesitate to remind you of that fact every time a game involves the deaths of children, or just depicts them in danger in general, especially infants and toddlers.

You Say Tomato: Anderson pronounces "Mario" as "Marry-o" rather than the usual North American pronunciation of "Mar-ee-o" something which many commenters pointed out considering he had to use the word for two hours in his Super Mario Odyssey review.

Gameplay and Story Segregation
 Joseph Anderson (Web Video) / int_6320eced
comment
Gameplay and Story Segregation: His biggest issue with the gaming medium and one he has mentioned in many of his videos. He frequently notes that often times a games story and gameplay don't align when they should, which pulls him out of the experience. In his video "Why Horror Games Don't Scare Me", he explains that he can't get into horror games like he can with movies or books because in a game, if he dies, he knows he can just load his save and do it again, compared to a book or movie where once something happens, nothing can be done to undo it as a viewer. He often argues that perma-death would be a better way of making horror games scarier because then your death is final.

Laughing at Your Own Jokes: Anderson does this frequently within livestreams, usually in a pattern of saying something humorous or ridiculous out of nowhere, trying to quickly move on to the next subject, and then stopping and laughing at it anyway.

Artificial Stupidity

comment
Artificial Stupidity: Anderson spent an extensive amount of time during his Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order livestreams to confirm whether or not stormtroopers were programmed to be dumb after seeing them shoot rockets at their own feet, walk into obvious death traps, and more. Despite multiple tests, he never came to a satisfying conclusion if it was really bad A.I. or really good bad A.I.

Arkham's Razor: In his Hello Neighbor stream, Anderson purposefully tried to break the first puzzle in the game by stacking objects up and climbing through a broken window rather than find a more natural way to get there. Turns out that's actually the solution...

Everyone Has Standards
 Joseph Anderson (Web Video) / int_b4a6ae4c
comment
Everyone Has Standards: While he invoked Video Game Cruelty Potential on just about everyone in Persona 4, he was particularly vindictive towards Dojima and Yosuke. This was due to him genuinely and vocally disapproving of their treatment of Nanako and Kanji respectively (the former due to being heavily neglected despite being a small child and the latter due to having his insecurities probed and being the butt of more than a few homophobic retorts).note It's worth noting that while he doesn't approve of his Parental Neglect, he still made it clear that he does genuinely feel bad for Dojima's situation.

Willing Suspension of Disbelief
 Joseph Anderson (Web Video) / int_c39a5ef0
comment
Willing Suspension of Disbelief: Discussed in several videos about how important it is for the world to feel believable in spite of it being not real. If a world doesn't match what the story implies, he finds himself unable to immerse himself. For instance, in INSIDE (2016) he argues that the world-building is inconsistent, giving the example that enemies in the game seem to alternate between helping and hindering the player character, while he argues in his The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild video that the world doesn't match the way the story is framed (as in, Ganon has won but the world seems completely fine). This is also one of his biggest gripes with the Fallout series; the games all are set many, many years after the Great War, but civilization has yet to truly bounce back or truly form new forms of society despite how many years have passed.

Continuing is Painful
 Joseph Anderson (Web Video) / int_c3d60914
comment
Continuing is Painful: Discussed in his review of Darkest Dungeon, where the game's over-reliance on its Random Number Generator can set the player back hours upon hours of grinding in the event one of their high-level heroes die. It's already taxing enough just raising one character to level 6, but the inability to bring high-level heroes back into easier dungeons to babysit a new recruit, thus forcing the player to train an entirely fresh squad from scratch, only serves to artificially lengthen the (already-tedious) grind, which makes picking up after taking casualties incredibly frustrating and time-consuming. It's one of the primary reasons why he considered Darkest Dungeon to be one of the most miserable gaming experiences he's had, despite its impressive presentation.

Hype Backlash:invoked Several of his videos about popular games like INSIDE (2016), Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild discuss how he finds the games to not be as good as they were hyped up to be, in part because he feels that problems with the games were ignored by critics.

Rage Quit: Usually averted, since he tends to keep calm even during difficult sections of games.note For instance, his stream of Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, a notoriously difficult game intended to illicit frustration, only features a few moments of anger despite him failing countless times. However, he did give up on Hello Neighbor during one of its final sections despite having played for over eight straight hours.

Flanderization: Discussed during his Persona 4 on the topic of why his opinion of Yosuke soured so greatly. Joe was initially impressed by him subverting many tropes associated with the Best Friend character (among others, Yosuke spent much of the early game being The Smart Guy of the team). As the game progressed, he noted that Yosuke's lecherous attitude and his insensitivity drowned out the aspects of his character that he had praised before.

Running Gag
 Joseph Anderson (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: After playing through the first case of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, any time where someone is being accused of something (or if a mystery is raised at all) will have Anderson ask: Leon? Subscribers of Anderson's Twitch channel are usually given a long list of purposefully embarrassing invitations, such as welcoming them to the Cringe Café, the Rub-a-Dub Sub Club, and other more specific ones depending on the situation. Anderson will generally ask if something is "worth a Moon" after completing an easy task, a reference to his infamous review of Super Mario Odyssey where he complained about the abundance of easy to complete and repetitive moons in the game. Any fancy and obtuse text will usually be read in an impersonation of Yusuke's voice from Persona 5. Anderson consistently compares elements of video games to Dark Souls in his reviews and elsewhere with varying accuracy, to the point where it can be difficult to tell when he's joking. When asked a question (initially inspired by multiple viewers asking whether or not he had heard of Disco Elysium), Anderson will instead search up and play audio of the "AYAYA" meme from Kiniro Mosaic, before answering the question honestly as if nothing happened. Of course, he doesn't always do this, keeping viewers on their toes whenever they hear him looking something up...
