I can't deny his integrity but James' passion has been gone for years. I hate the screenwave slobs, they're the Anti-RLM.
When James doesn't try to make a joke, I don't necessarily think his passion is gone. For example, when he was talking about the history of Taito - I think he was genuinely interested in that, genuinely finds that cool. But it definitely does seem like he isn't really as keen as annoying himself on bad games anymore - at least, unless there's something remarkable and entertainingly goofy about them. Seems like he had actual fun with that weird shitty vampire RE, whereas the legend of kage and this one are almost entirely boilerplate.
Although it seems like when he plays one of these arcade games that he likes, he feels generally enthusiastic about it. Honestly, given how good the Earthbound review was, maybe he should just take an adult's eye to some of the old classics?
I really don't know of anyone who likes the rest of the crew.
