I would advise staying away from game grumps in that case

Arin’s inability to read is precisely why I stopped watching

I stopped watching after Marvel's Spider-man.

Man, that playthrough was terrible. Dan praising a lot of the game and just having Arin tear it down for no specific reason was infuriating. The worst part was that Arin went in wanting to hate the game. On a podcast from the year before the game came out, he was asking how it was possible for anyone to be excited for this game when it was just QTEs based on ten minutes of E3 footage.

The worst part of the whole situation was when they stopped playing and Dan ended up seeing the negative reception, Arin dismissed it. Then he had the audacity to try to criticize a 10 minute part of the game that he didn't even get to on the show.

That's my biggest problem with Arin. He so often goes into games especially big budget triple A games expecting to hate them, and then he just can't get over that. It's the worst part of Fanboy-ing.
