Yep. I keep hoping they come back. I loved this channel. They were so simple yet so passionate about gaming talk. It was always nice to see a new video as soon as I got out of work. I miss these guys man!
+Big Boss Still subscribed. Will and always be subscribed. This was the best channel I've been in my life. That moment when we still got Sessler and Max and Scott and Carboni in Casual Friday and my personal fave, Adam and Anthony. That bit-tune intro sound just gave me the feels again.
+Matt Terio Check out a channel called Outside Xbox. It's two guys and a girl and they're really cool. Despite the name it's not exclusively about Xbox. They cover everything.
+gimpinmypants yeah. i've been watching them for a bit but haven't subscribed. will consider doing it tho. the girl's Jane Douglas btw. she's from GameSpot a while back and currently that site's experiencing a massive exodus. Another sad predicament for me as it was my first gaming site since I've discovered the internet at the age of 12.

1 step of being civil is not telli ng others what to do so any further word about civil? i hope not because hypocrissy is a deep hole that very few can get out of
I can't help but wishfully envision a parallel universe where people aren't needlessly shitty to one another on the internet. A parallel universe where Adam wasn't inundated by shitheads and never left the industry. In that universe, maybe Rev3 would still be around. Or maybe I'm naive to assume this would have changed the fate of the channel at all, but as I said... It's wishful. Good luck on your journeys, guys. There's a serious fucking void in my life now, I mean that.
mekael bayati Wonder if youtubes policies are to blame. It seemed like youtube was becoming better then TV and then Google decided to kill it with bad policy.
JOn DHo I think the word in my comment that should be stressed is "inundated." Adam was no simpleton, he knew how the internet worked. But it was the sheer volume of awfulness, along with his wife being targeted, that forced him out. And I won't blame him for that. I can't even imagine the kind of bullshit prominent personalities on the web have to put up with.
BakehousePictures yea this gaming community is really really toxic, specifically this new 8th Gen. ever since the new consoles came out it's like a swarm of assholes joined the community :(
Tara - this was great. (Nick, you too.) Great work from both you and everyone else at +Rev3Games - so many greatnesses came out of that channel. Please take care everyone over there!
Anthony what the hell have you been up too. I swear so many good people on this show its a shame you're all separated I mean the writing was on the wall then everyone was bailing out but I really miss the glory days when everyone was there.
Tara, this was awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you and everyone at Rev3Games in the early days and at those first Rev3Games trips to E3 and PAX. All the best to you! Onwards and upwards!
Still miss this channel in 2022. Hands down the only channel to give me joy back in 2013 to 2014. Good thing Adam's back in g4 now, but this channel still is the best for me.
@@zacharymorawski5824 yeah such a shame man. I was really eager to hear more of him in g4. But even his content there is a far cry from his works in rev3.
I have a lot of respect for Tara. She never played into the "quirky Internet personality", the "lol I'm a gamer look at my Zelda poster", or the "cute g4mer g1rl" attitudes that many youtubers (both male and female) use. She always seemed like a real person with a real interest and real opinions on games. I always held her opinions and views on a much higher level than most other game journalists and she was my favorite person on Rev3. I hope to see her in future projects!
They should of done a shot at the end where it's just a zoom out of the office. And Tara is just sitting at her desk alone in the office. And as the camera pans out she starts to pack her things and gets up from her desk. And before she leaves the door she turns around and just gives a faint wave to the office and all the great memories she had. Then the camera just sits there for about 20 seconds of just sitting there looking at the once filled office. Then the lights turn off and the camera does a slow transition into darkness but you can still hear the faint sound of the air conditioner humming. Then that too turns off. Would have been pretty sweet
Seph Something about gamergate and feminism something like that gamers making threats. I steered away from those posts since im not a big fan of that stuff so just got a glimpse of it. I just like to come home from work turn on my pc have a beer and play my games in peace.
Thank you Tara for helping create a gaming channel where I spent many hours viewing game reviews, opinions, news, etc. I wish you great success in whatever you decide to do with your life hereafter :)
Shes on test tube, I was never subbed here and didnt watch much here but surprised they are shutting down a channel with 500k subs ud think thats enough for at least one person to stay on here but I guess they are busy with new channels anway
So sad... That slide show brought tears to my eyes. You guys were the first critical video outlet for videogames / new media i started to watch out of college. The discussions elevated videogames imo to something that could be art or culturally significant. It is amazing the talent rev3 collected over the years. I still follow many old hosts and producers. I wish you the best Tara and production crew my youtube subscription list feels hallow and vapid without you.
i felt bad, unti i saw that tweet claiming gamergate is about a war on women. Lying about your fans and acusing them of things that are jsut flat out UNTRUE is what got you people in this possition. Are your heads really that far up your asses that you can't see that when your professionalism is questioned, calling your accusers misogynists woman haters that are all straight white men on a crusade to hate women and push them out of the industry rather then just addressing the actual issues and pretending it's something it clearly isn't might make people not want to support you? I've been a big fan of you folks, but just seeing you jump on the hate wagon and LYING about what's really happening in the gamergate movement is just disgusting. Good riddance.
Misnomer W Gamergate is a consumer revolt, the entire hashtag can't be attributed by the actions of some people, when the core principles are the most pushed topic, which are the corruption in games journalism. Why didn't Tara do any research (if she did make a tweet against Gamergate) about Zoe Quinn sabotaging the "Fine Young Capitalist", and then thank gamergate for donating over $25 000 dollars to assist them in their endeavor? Why does no one talk about the hate and harassment David Pakman is getting for being neutral and providing a floor for everyone to speak equally, which by the way the harassment is from anti-GG. There are so many things wrong going on on the anti side that holds far more power than anyone pro-GG. Rev3 had no part in these controversies, and to be honest i'm not that sad to see them go, but if I had a hand in the matter I would still stick up for them.
Dewster Hobnobbington I'm sorry that i don't feel that people who basically asked to lose their jobs don't deserve any sympathy. I honestly couldn't care less what happens to her after that tweet, and i feel my fellow viewers deserve to know what she said imediately after making this "hearfelt" video to her "misogynist woman hating gamer scum" fans that are supposedly "raging a war on women" rather then asking for journalistic integrity.
Misnomer W Well what should people do? A new hashtag wont stop trolls to follow. But I can see that twitter is probably the worst place to discuss something like gamergate, yet (both sides) are stupid enough to engage most of the debate there.
Dewster Hobnobbington It's their own fault, as Stratifire pointed out. If you think you can insult your audience and keep your job(and you're not a comedian), you're an idiot. Sessler especially after approving of a black man that started #notyourshield being fired after these "journalists"(who if you haven't noticed are a VAST majority white, while saying their for diversity and inclusiveness) said they were speaking for women and minorities. Simply put, fuck them. PS: and let's not forget Sessler's little tirade about "misogyny" after he misinterpreted the "Bros before Hoes" Trophy in God of War(an achievement created and named by a women btw).
Didn't think the tears would be flowing this hard. Not everyday your favorite TH-cam channel shuts down, but, hey, let's look at the bright side. 1 less great channel that the gaming industry can corrupt.
......you realize the industry IS the sites like this. i think a lot of people see corruption that isnt there. not that there isnt any, but people see it where it isnt.
thisscreensucks I guess it would have been more appropriate as a, "die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain," way of putting it.
thisscreensucks Yeah, I meant like they were never bought out by a game company to give their game a good review, and they were always against that. Like Jovial Blubber It's a "die a hero" sort of way.
wowcrazy70 'Gamergaters', a group ostensibly concerned about ethics in games journalism, which is something to be concerned about, but the movement started as a harrassment campaign against an independent developer due to accusations of sleeping with journalists for positive reviews. None of those reviews were actually ever written, the affair started AFTER all of said journalist's coverage of the game, and the harrassment targeted the independent developer, and not the journalist.
PoliteTimesplitter Gamergeters are people who want actual journalism. The harassment is pure bullshit. People disagreeing with you is not harassment. If you can't win the argument you call people bigots and say you are threaten. It happens all the time.
nadeau Hi, please tell me when you lot actually have the balls to boycott Shadow of Mordor instead of releasing the home addresses of indie devs and threatening mass shootings because you care so much about skimpy armour.
OMG its been 7 years since they finished !! Wow where has the time gone - it feels like just a couple years back.. And TH-cam how did I end up here ?? Come on AI sort it out
I feel really fucking bad now. I used to be a Dick to people on this channel after Adam sessler left. :( I'm sorry for being one of those angry people. You guys really loved your job here and it sucks you are leaving.
I really miss this channel ! ! it was my go to gaming channel. it was extremely obvious that they cared and loved for gaming. they weren't the convintal type. they were unique in their ideas and unique in their reviews. they were utmost truthful. I hope you all come back. if this channel ever is reborn. I'll be one of the first to support you
I must admit, I got a little choked up at the end. Watching the group shots get smaller and smaller over time, until only a few remained, that was absolutely heartbreaking. I loved Rev3Games and everything you guys did. Best of luck to all of you on your future endeavors.
I will definitely miss you Tara. Like many Sessler drew me into the channel but I quickly learned that Tara was even greater star then Adam. She brought professionalism, hard work, and charisma to anything she worked on. I know Adam's reviews got a lot of attention but for me, what I truly looked forward to a hand made Tara review. Honestly I don't watch reviews because I am interested in the game. More so its like a mental feat of cataloging a game into all these points. Its something I do privately and I love watching others do it publicly. And for me Tara crafted some of the most enjoyable reviews for me. The perfect juggling of objective and subjective perspective and bundling it in such a perfect way. I am sorry that reviews became unpleasant with the increasing toxicity of the channel comments but I loved and appreciate every review you ever did on this channel. Best of luck to you and hope to see you soon in greater and more awesome opportunities.
Sean Khu I would think most people on Rev3 Team would largely agree with that as well. Even I freely admit I came for Sessler. But As I mention I found much more appretiation with Tara then I did with Sessler. Adam was a Icon, Tara was and still is a professional. I respect both for very different reasons.
First time commenting. Thanks Tara for everything you've done during all these years. Destructoid show with you and Max was the first show of it's kind I started to watch regularily. There has been no comparison yo your guys' chemistry. Sad to see you doing this video. Hope that you still get to do something you love, even if it's not for the industry, which doesn't seen like a very good place to be at the moment. Gonna miss ya. Peace, love, brapp brapp, Pegasus away, money in the bank and all that jazz...crossovers.
This is so sad. I really loved to listen at what you guys thought about certain games or certain topics related to the industry. It's such a shame it had to end. I'm so sorry... All I can say now is: Best of luck to all of you, and thank you so much for all the content you've all created. I really enjoyed it.
You guys were different, my favorite. Over IGN, Gametrailers, the whole list. Your casual fridays and coffee talks really showed how legit the crew was and how you guys are one of us. It's been a sad week having to say goodbye to Wayne Static and now this. That's why years ago I realized it was important to just stop and appreciate the good times while they were still rolling. The times when you had the security of knowing there would be a next time. Good luck everyone, hope to see you around soon, bringing your qualities to the table. Gaming is about to be a hell of a ride. Would love to see you in the front seat.
Good luck in the future Tara, Nick, and the rest of the team. It has always been a joy watching and learning from you guys. I'll be sure to check your other stuff out!
I'm going to really miss this channel. :( I always loved Rev3Games and it's so sad to see it go. Thank you guys for entertaining me for the many years I have been watching.
Thank you Tara, and everyone at Rev3Games. You guys were and are awesome. I don't normally pay attention to game reviews, but I would watch almost every single one of your guys', even if I didn't know a whole lot about the game you guys were reviewing. Plus, all of you seem so nice, genuine, and passionate about what you do. I went to the Rev3Games panel at PAX 2013, and it was one of my favorite panels that year -- y'all were hilarious and I had a blast. Then it was surreal and amazing to meet you briefly face to face when I stood next to you in line at this year's PAX while waiting for a panel with Max and Anthony. You were SO nice, and even though I was awkward and didn't know what to say other than "I watch and love your videos!" the way you took the time to talk and even ended up sitting with my friend and I after meant a whole lot. I can't wait to see what you and everyone eles at Rev3Games do next!
This is the same awful feeling I had, when XPlay went the way of the dinosaur. I feel like I'm saying goodbye to a friend. Good luck to Tara and Nick and to everyone else who made Rev3 amazing and I hope you guys are back at it, in one way or another, soon. All the best!
A lot of memories with all those pictures, and I could really hear the sadness in your voice for this video. Sorry to see it come to an end, wish you the best Tara. Good luck with whatever future endeavors you decide to pursue, take care.
I have to be honest, I didn't really subscribe to these guys for a long time. But watching this video, seeing Tara like this, she looks like she's about to just break down in tears. I don't know, maybe it's just me. I do feel bad for these guys, it's hard coping with the fact that you've lost your job/source of income. But I'm sure these guys will find something new, they're talented after all
Tara, In all honesty, it was Adam who brought me to subscribe to Rev3 but it was you who kept me watching long after he left. You are much more than just a pretty face and I appreciate all the time and effort you and your fellow Rev3ers put into this endeavor. I suppose, on the upside, I know have a reason to follow some of you fine folk on Twitter! Wishing you nothing but the best moving forward.
Its amazing how a bunch of people whom you dont know in person can make you feel close to them. Ive been watching you guys since day one. Thanks for the memories will miss rev3games alot.
This is sad news indeed, I've been here since the DTOID show and I will miss your awesome personalities, thanks for the great content and I hope this is not the last we see of you guys. Take care and good luck T-bird
i know! his show was great. didn't even realize the variety of great quality content that came out of this one channel until the retrospective montage started rolling. it's too bad a good channel has to fall by the wayside and others get to keep flourishing.. così è la vita :/
Tara and Nick were the only 2 people I ever saw in videos anyway, so the channel has pretty much been dead for awhile. I think it's a bad idea that Discovery shut down the channel though. If they had just dedicated more resources to putting out more content that people wanted to see, and hired a few more fresh faces then this channel would still been a success, even when Sessler left. I mean come on, video game channels pretty much rule TH-cam right now. Seems like a silly decision to me.
Then again, maybe Sessler left because Discovery was dicking them around so much and he wanted more autonomy. There was a time when there was like 7 new shows coming out, and then they made a few episodes of those shows and then dropped them. Like the Internet wormhole, or whatever that was called.
TheZENbros if you look around, Rev3 seems to have their hands in tons of different things/topics.....kind of in a bad taste kind of way to me. I definitely think it had a huge factor in the content and end of this channel.
***** Which is exactly why I think the channel (and it's active members/employees) has lost it's honesty and innocence essentially several years ago. I wasn't able to take them seriously for a very long time now. Dodgy reviews, strange opinions, generally being very apologetic about when a developer fails. I'm also not sure what Adam's reputation really was based upon when he started to pop up in this show, because in earlier days he wasn't quite the honest type when it came to games. It's difficult to really prove, so do not take my word for it, but I'm fairly sure he's had his days of being way more positive about a game than he should (or even wanted) to be, because of clicks, views and ad revenues to a channel and website. I can't believe for a second they were somehow as independent as they seem to claim. I know how opinions tend to be very subjective, but they rarely were critical about specific things. Things seemingly ignored.
Your Awesome Tara , I will miss seeing ya on Rev3 . You give Gamer Women a good name . Your videos and humour made me happy . I especially enjoyed your Lets Plays cause I got to hear your's and the crews personality and the fun you had making them . I hope to seeing you in future , Thnx 4 Everything!!
Same here, when Rev3games and destructoid was at their peak with Tara and Max hosting the destructoid show it was truly a sight to behold. But it just went downhill after that, It was truly painful to watch.
love rev3games from the beginning you were the place for reviews and inside opinions all the shows were great im gonna miss you guys i hope we may meet again. :)
Man, this sucks, you guys did a great job and I'm going to mis Rev3 games. This is going to leave a huge void in my online video game journalism consumption, because it was pretty much this and IGN for me, and this was way more credible and comprehensive
I really much enjoyed this channel and I'm devastated to hear of its closing. You all did amazing work to produce high quality videos that were well opinionated and thought provoking. I'm sure you'll go on to do incredible things Tara and the rest of Rev3.
Just came back to this channel, I had forgot it shut down and needless to say it was rather upsetting to be reminded of the tragedy and loss we all faced with the end of the beautiful channel that was Rev3Games.
I'm so sorry, but I'm done. I subbed to Rev3 because of Adam, but since he left, I was having doubts. But when I saw that Nick and Tara were staying, I had hope. I sticked with it, and felt rewarded in the end. They were fitting replacements. But now that they are BOTH gone, I have no reason to be subbed anymore. I have no connection and no liking of ANY of the other newbies, and now that Rev3 is being headed by very inexperienced journalists, I can tell it won't do well. Also, Discovery is leaving them, so I don't even know if they're going to exist anymore. So I guess this is goodbye Rev3Games, it was a great ride.
Did you even bother to watch before commenting? Rev3 is shutting down. So saying "oh they're gone I'm unsubbing" is pointless because there isn't anything to be subbed to anymore. Jesus, it's like everyone here just immediately leaps to the comments to say something without bothering to actually watch or listen to the videos.
Thanks for everything Tara & everyone at Rev3! Enjoyed watching your shows! I'll keep an eye out for all you guys on the interwebs! Onward to new adventures!!!!
will miss you and the casual friday crew and adam and max and nick , thx for the good times watchin video game reviews , i hope your next job is as cool as this one was , good luck hotty ;)
Serious question - what other good youtube channels are out there in this vein of gaming journalism? I liked Rev3 because they were genuine and didn't feel like they were way up their own asses about anything. They were fun and had good opinions... are there any other channels I could watch that fill this niche? Thanks in advance.
I...yeah this is gonna come off as a plug, but whatever - I started reviewing games because of Rev3 and its awesome staff. I took a break with the recent shit-show but I guess it's time to start writing again.
I used to "hate" Angry Joe thinking he was just another "character" in the "angry reviewer" fad. After checking his videos out though, I 100% love the guy, he clearly loves and cares about videogames and I'm so happy when he gives tough love to games, he is the most honest reviewer you can get. GiantBomb is always super fun too and I think gamespot has gotten better too.

Damn I preferred you guys over IGN and Gamespot.
Better than ign and GameStop...... Wow!
lol u mean gamespot b

Better than big name sites and hell, they've done more for me than Gamestop too.
easy allies is actually good
Adam Sessler is like the show host of death. Every time he leave's, the show dies.
Because the show is/was shit without him lol.
To be fair, after Adam left rev3 they didn't even try to make the channel as it was used to, so it was obvious that this was going to happen.
Adam just knows when to leave.
Rodney McMillan I will admit, I was one of the people who unsubbed this channel after finding out Adam Sessler left..
Rodney McMillan And then he went full SJW. What the fuck happened to him?
I just came back here to see if anyone was still here
Yep. I keep hoping they come back. I loved this channel. They were so simple yet so passionate about gaming talk. It was always nice to see a new video as soon as I got out of work. I miss these guys man!
Yea I still do the same , guess they ain't coming back

Now who will I go to for unbiased game reviews??
Ign
Giovanni Colon you're a comedian
AngryJoeShow
KCLovesKicks hardly does any reviews these days, almost turned into a "Let's play" channel.
Quemical83 it's just the fact that his reviews take a lot of time for him to make and he also has a social life. He does the reviews when he's able to and they are always very truthful reviews.
I miss this channel man
Same here. One of the few game relating channels I liked to watch consistently.
Anyone still peeping this channel in 2019? Haha
Nah, 2020
How was this 5 years ago
2020 games media isn't the same. But such is life. Rev 3 was special

Man I miss Adam Sessler. Been watching him since Extended Play
@@linxstorm Me too Bro. It was called Gamespot TV at first.
Thanks for the ride, Rev3. It's been fun. Good luck to Tara and the rest of the Rev3 staff. I look forward to seeing what you do next.
The channel is shutting down....

just a 2019 comment passing through.. miss this channel so much
Tara - this was great. (Nick, you too.) Great work from both you and everyone else at +Rev3Games - so many greatnesses came out of that channel. Please take care everyone over there!
Nooooooo. Whyyyyyy....
Your slideshow made me tear up, you jerk. I LOVE YOU MAN
Me too. I miss the days of Anthony, Max, and Tara. Every show was awesome. Non-stop laughs.
It was a sad day: (
Discovery Network spreads pseudoscience and all of you guys are to good for them... Bring back Byte Jacker man
Anthony what the hell have you been up too. I swear so many good people on this show its a shame you're all separated I mean the writing was on the wall then everyone was bailing out but I really miss the glory days when everyone was there.
Build it and they will come.

Josue Vega I am watching it on 2017.I love this channel.
Still miss this channel in 2022. Hands down the only channel to give me joy back in 2013 to 2014. Good thing Adam's back in g4 now, but this channel still is the best for me.
This was the best gaming review and discussion channel ever. I couldn't wait to see their content daily. It broke my heart to see them go.
Aaaand Adam sessler is jobless again 😢
@@zacharymorawski5824 yeah such a shame man. I was really eager to hear more of him in g4. But even his content there is a far cry from his works in rev3.
Same cant belive its been so long.
Their E3 2013 coverage was brilliant!
A year ago, this was the best gaming journalism channel on TH-cam.
A to the men. This was definitely a channel I got up and checked everyday to see if they had any new content up. Definitely among the best.
Blame feminists. They're the cancer thats ruining gaming. Think about it, everything went to shit when sjw's creeped their way into gaming.
Mog Gles when did the creep in?
destructoid was my show
It truly was. I haven't cared for it in months, I wish it never changed. I wish certain people didn't leave.
I have a lot of respect for Tara. She never played into the "quirky Internet personality", the "lol I'm a gamer look at my Zelda poster", or the "cute g4mer g1rl" attitudes that many youtubers (both male and female) use. She always seemed like a real person with a real interest and real opinions on games. I always held her opinions and views on a much higher level than most other game journalists and she was my favorite person on Rev3. I hope to see her in future projects!
That's a very sweet sentiment from a murderer.

haha what
That was a nice read,thx for typing that.
that sounds like what Derek did when he left rundertow(classic game room)
Was kinda obvious the channel was going to go. Ah well, I'm sure you'll move onto something else.
I'm sad they're going and I haven't even HEARD of this.
Soon as i saw the twitter drama i had a feeling the channel was gonna go sooner or later.
***** Whoa, what twitter drama? I am just curious.
Seph Something about gamergate and feminism something like that gamers making threats. I steered away from those posts since im not a big fan of that stuff so just got a glimpse of it. I just like to come home from work turn on my pc have a beer and play my games in peace.

Sorry to see the channel go. I wish you all the best! Thanks for all of your hard work over the years!
I agree.. this was about the only Media Outlet I felt I could trust. I liked all the staff as well. It's a shame to see this channel end.
Thank you Tara for helping create a gaming channel where I spent many hours viewing game reviews, opinions, news, etc. I wish you great success in whatever you decide to do with your life hereafter :)
Make sure to check out the BulletHardTank Show for more reviews my friend.
John Johnson I'm pretty sure that's your alt and you are just self promoting
god among men (and women)! Good luck on future endeavors my friends!
KHAIL BUST DOWN MACHINIMAS DOOR AND KILL THEM ALL !
Shes on test tube, I was never subbed here and didnt watch much here but surprised they are shutting down a channel with 500k subs ud think thats enough for at least one person to stay on here but I guess they are busy with new channels anway
***** What does Rev 3 Games have to do with Machinima? Shed some light to your vague comment guy.
what u been up too
I thought you died man ETC hasn't been the same since you left.
So sad... That slide show brought tears to my eyes. You guys were the first critical video outlet for videogames / new media i started to watch out of college. The discussions elevated videogames imo to something that could be art or culturally significant.
It is amazing the talent rev3 collected over the years. I still follow many old hosts and producers.
I wish you the best Tara and production crew my youtube subscription list feels hallow and vapid without you.
i felt bad, unti i saw that tweet claiming gamergate is about a war on women. Lying about your fans and acusing them of things that are jsut flat out UNTRUE is what got you people in this possition. Are your heads really that far up your asses that you can't see that when your professionalism is questioned, calling your accusers misogynists woman haters that are all straight white men on a crusade to hate women and push them out of the industry rather then just addressing the actual issues and pretending it's something it clearly isn't might make people not want to support you? I've been a big fan of you folks, but just seeing you jump on the hate wagon and LYING about what's really happening in the gamergate movement is just disgusting. Good riddance.
Misnomer W
Gamergate is a consumer revolt, the entire hashtag can't be attributed by the actions of some people, when the core principles are the most pushed topic, which are the corruption in games journalism.
Why didn't Tara do any research (if she did make a tweet against Gamergate) about Zoe Quinn sabotaging the "Fine Young Capitalist", and then thank gamergate for donating over $25 000 dollars to assist them in their endeavor? Why does no one talk about the hate and harassment David Pakman is getting for being neutral and providing a floor for everyone to speak equally, which by the way the harassment is from anti-GG.
There are so many things wrong going on on the anti side that holds far more power than anyone pro-GG.
Rev3 had no part in these controversies, and to be honest i'm not that sad to see them go, but if I had a hand in the matter I would still stick up for them.
Dewster Hobnobbington I'm sorry that i don't feel that people who basically asked to lose their jobs don't deserve any sympathy. I honestly couldn't care less what happens to her after that tweet, and i feel my fellow viewers deserve to know what she said imediately after making this "hearfelt" video to her "misogynist woman hating gamer scum" fans that are supposedly "raging a war on women" rather then asking for journalistic integrity.
Misnomer W Well what should people do? A new hashtag wont stop trolls to follow.
But I can see that twitter is probably the worst place to discuss something like gamergate, yet (both sides) are stupid enough to engage most of the debate there.
Dewster Hobnobbington
It's their own fault, as Stratifire pointed out. If you think you can insult your audience and keep your job(and you're not a comedian), you're an idiot. Sessler especially after approving of a black man that started #notyourshield being fired after these "journalists"(who if you haven't noticed are a VAST majority white, while saying their for diversity and inclusiveness) said they were speaking for women and minorities. Simply put, fuck them.
PS: and let's not forget Sessler's little tirade about "misogyny" after he misinterpreted the "Bros before Hoes" Trophy in God of War(an achievement created and named by a women btw).
Misnomer W I'm sorry. But you might need to watch this. There are plenty of other videos as well. th-cam.com/video/YCExXie1XB4/w-d-xo.html
Still missing them in 2018 😭
Can't believe it's been 3 years.
i Rican
Me too
same
i miss 2013 2012 2014 2015 wish i could go back to those good times
me too man... still watching their videos monthly
Didn't think the tears would be flowing this hard. Not everyday your favorite TH-cam channel shuts down, but, hey, let's look at the bright side. 1 less great channel that the gaming industry can corrupt.
......you realize the industry IS the sites like this.
i think a lot of people see corruption that isnt there.
not that there isnt any, but people see it where it isnt.
thisscreensucks I guess it would have been more appropriate as a, "die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain," way of putting it.
Jovial Blubber i guess.
still assumes a level of corruption that probably doesnt exist.
thisscreensucks Yeah, I meant like they were never bought out by a game company to give their game a good review, and they were always against that. Like Jovial Blubber It's a "die a hero" sort of way.
Sam Gibson being paid for reviews basically never happens. im sure it has happened, but its not common like everyone seems to assume.
This shutdown had better not because of fucking gaters.
What's that?
wowcrazy70 'Gamergaters', a group ostensibly concerned about ethics in games journalism, which is something to be concerned about, but the movement started as a harrassment campaign against an independent developer due to accusations of sleeping with journalists for positive reviews.
None of those reviews were actually ever written, the affair started AFTER all of said journalist's coverage of the game, and the harrassment targeted the independent developer, and not the journalist.
PoliteTimesplitter Gamergeters are people who want actual journalism. The harassment is pure bullshit. People disagreeing with you is not harassment. If you can't win the argument you call people bigots and say you are threaten. It happens all the time.
it almost certainly didn't, so don't worry.
nadeau Hi, please tell me when you lot actually have the balls to boycott Shadow of Mordor instead of releasing the home addresses of indie devs and threatening mass shootings because you care so much about skimpy armour.
OMG its been 7 years since they finished !! Wow where has the time gone - it feels like just a couple years back.. And TH-cam how did I end up here ?? Come on AI sort it out
I didn't know I was still subbed to this channel.. man I thought they were still active to this day, what happened?
....Adam bankrupted them.
lmao adam left because the channel sucked he was the only good thing about it and with out him the channel went to shit
SOHere StillHere Him and Max.
I feel really fucking bad now. I used to be a Dick to people on this channel after Adam sessler left. :( I'm sorry for being one of those angry people. You guys really loved your job here and it sucks you are leaving.
Idiot
SahijApple93 What the fuck? He is apologizing and obviously understands he fucked up.
SahijApple93 can't even support a change of heart. God damn things are more backwards then I already had thought
SingularitySource Well sorry then, I accept your change of heart lol
^confirmed. Has no idea what hes talking about anymore. Ignore him ppl
Thumbs up for still missing them in 2017!!!!
2018 now :(
Wubba Lubba Dub Dub I’m crying right now
Lol
Still missing them in 2019.
Missing them. Sept 2020.
Miss you Tara.
I really miss this channel ! ! it was my go to gaming channel. it was extremely obvious that they cared and loved for gaming. they weren't the convintal type. they were unique in their ideas and unique in their reviews. they were utmost truthful.
I hope you all come back. if this channel ever is reborn. I'll be one of the first to support you
I must admit, I got a little choked up at the end. Watching the group shots get smaller and smaller over time, until only a few remained, that was absolutely heartbreaking. I loved Rev3Games and everything you guys did. Best of luck to all of you on your future endeavors.
I will definitely miss you Tara. Like many Sessler drew me into the channel but I quickly learned that Tara was even greater star then Adam. She brought professionalism, hard work, and charisma to anything she worked on.
I know Adam's reviews got a lot of attention but for me, what I truly looked forward to a hand made Tara review.
Honestly I don't watch reviews because I am interested in the game. More so its like a mental feat of cataloging a game into all these points. Its something I do privately and I love watching others do it publicly.
And for me Tara crafted some of the most enjoyable reviews for me. The perfect juggling of objective and subjective perspective and bundling it in such a perfect way. I am sorry that reviews became unpleasant with the increasing toxicity of the channel comments but I loved and appreciate every review you ever did on this channel.
Best of luck to you and hope to see you soon in greater and more awesome opportunities.
TheAbxyGamerHD Jr Indeed, the video very much communicated as such.
Sean Khu I would think most people on Rev3 Team would largely agree with that as well. Even I freely admit I came for Sessler. But As I mention I found much more appretiation with Tara then I did with Sessler. Adam was a Icon, Tara was and still is a professional. I respect both for very different reasons.
Bummer. I just found the channel today.
Me 2 );
My Twin 4
me 5
2020 and we still miss y'all. There was quality content and better people here.
First time commenting. Thanks Tara for everything you've done during all these years. Destructoid show with you and Max was the first show of it's kind I started to watch regularily. There has been no comparison yo your guys' chemistry. Sad to see you doing this video. Hope that you still get to do something you love, even if it's not for the industry, which doesn't seen like a very good place to be at the moment. Gonna miss ya. Peace, love, brapp brapp, Pegasus away, money in the bank and all that jazz...crossovers.
who's watching in October
Not me
still watching
I'm still subscribed and it'll stay that way! Miss you guys!
This is so sad. I really loved to listen at what you guys thought about certain games or certain topics related to the industry. It's such a shame it had to end. I'm so sorry...
All I can say now is: Best of luck to all of you, and thank you so much for all the content you've all created. I really enjoyed it.
You guys were different, my favorite. Over IGN, Gametrailers, the whole list. Your casual fridays and coffee talks really showed how legit the crew was and how you guys are one of us.
It's been a sad week having to say goodbye to Wayne Static and now this. That's why years ago I realized it was important to just stop and appreciate the good times while they were still rolling. The times when you had the security of knowing there would be a next time.
Good luck everyone, hope to see you around soon, bringing your qualities to the table. Gaming is about to be a hell of a ride. Would love to see you in the front seat.
Just cam here to remember the good ol' days, good times!
Still missing this channel. Sending love from 2021!
Good luck in the future Tara, Nick, and the rest of the team. It has always been a joy watching and learning from you guys. I'll be sure to check your other stuff out!
I'm going to really miss this channel. :( I always loved Rev3Games and it's so sad to see it go. Thank you guys for entertaining me for the many years I have been watching.
Thank you Tara, and everyone at Rev3Games. You guys were and are awesome. I don't normally pay attention to game reviews, but I would watch almost every single one of your guys', even if I didn't know a whole lot about the game you guys were reviewing. Plus, all of you seem so nice, genuine, and passionate about what you do. I went to the Rev3Games panel at PAX 2013, and it was one of my favorite panels that year -- y'all were hilarious and I had a blast. Then it was surreal and amazing to meet you briefly face to face when I stood next to you in line at this year's PAX while waiting for a panel with Max and Anthony. You were SO nice, and even though I was awkward and didn't know what to say other than "I watch and love your videos!" the way you took the time to talk and even ended up sitting with my friend and I after meant a whole lot. I can't wait to see what you and everyone eles at Rev3Games do next!
Coming In at the end of 2020 lol miss this channel. Can't believe it's been 6 years...
This is the same awful feeling I had, when XPlay went the way of the dinosaur. I feel like I'm saying goodbye to a friend. Good luck to Tara and Nick and to everyone else who made Rev3 amazing and I hope you guys are back at it, in one way or another, soon. All the best!
I can't believe a dead channel has 357k subs. Do they think it still will make a new vid.
WHAT THE FUCK
I was gonna stay if Tara at least stayed, but what happens?
A video is posted of her leaving too. Yep. This channel is dead to me.
Did you even watch the video before commenting? The entire channel is shutting down dude, it's dead to everyone.
Oh, wow. I see what happened now. That's even worse.
***** I actually thought it was on mass firing mode.
Well, hope they can get jobs.
Ugh where the fuck am I supposed to get gaming news now? The only other reputable site in my eyes is dtoid, and I prefer things in video form.
It was probably Sessler's departure that spelled the beginning of the end for Rev3games.
thanks for all the great reviews you guys i wish you well in the future and please make more reviews if you guys come back
I'll miss you guys and casual fridays, I loved to listen to those every week. I wish the best for all of you.
G4 and Rev3 again, ugh.
Fuck i miss classic xplay
Gonna miss you guys, really enjoyed and appreciated your work. I wish you guys the best of luck in the future. Take care Tara.
Very sad.... :( Wish you guys best of luck. Loved your channel!
May everyone at Rev3Games have a great future you will be missed.
Good luck in your future endeavors.
Damn, I'm sorry to see it go. Good luck in all your future endeavors guys.
Good luck guys on your future endavors. I love the videos you guys made and hope the best for you.
A lot of memories with all those pictures, and I could really hear the sadness in your voice for this video. Sorry to see it come to an end, wish you the best Tara. Good luck with whatever future endeavors you decide to pursue, take care.
I have to be honest, I didn't really subscribe to these guys for a long time. But watching this video, seeing Tara like this, she looks like she's about to just break down in tears. I don't know, maybe it's just me. I do feel bad for these guys, it's hard coping with the fact that you've lost your job/source of income. But I'm sure these guys will find something new, they're talented after all
Rev3 was a sinking ship but Tara will make it to better things as a result. Sometimes leaving a job is the best thing that can happen to you.
Tara,
In all honesty, it was Adam who brought me to subscribe to Rev3 but it was you who kept me watching long after he left. You are much more than just a pretty face and I appreciate all the time and effort you and your fellow Rev3ers put into this endeavor.
I suppose, on the upside, I know have a reason to follow some of you fine folk on Twitter!
Wishing you nothing but the best moving forward.
Its amazing how a bunch of people whom you dont know in person can make you feel close to them. Ive been watching you guys since day one. Thanks for the memories will miss rev3games alot.
Sad to see such a well crafted show end. You all did a great job.
It was a great channel. :) Thanks for all your hard work over the years.
Still missing you guys in 2018
Right in the feels, man. I hope I see more of you guys in the future.
I love this show. Y'all turned me on so many games I never would have played. I look forward to seeing what you do in the future :D
This is sad news indeed, I've been here since the DTOID show and I will miss your awesome personalities, thanks for the great content and I hope this is not the last we see of you guys. Take care and good luck T-bird
Years later and nothing came even close to the great Destructoid Show with Tara and Max. I miss you guys :(
You guys were one of my favorites. I trusted your reviews more than anyone else's.
I've been watching from the start, take care Tara you're very talented :-)
i had completly forgot scott bromley was even a thing
i know! his show was great. didn't even realize the variety of great quality content that came out of this one channel until the retrospective montage started rolling. it's too bad a good channel has to fall by the wayside and others get to keep flourishing.. così è la vita :/
The Comedy Button says hi
Tara and Nick were the only 2 people I ever saw in videos anyway, so the channel has pretty much been dead for awhile. I think it's a bad idea that Discovery shut down the channel though. If they had just dedicated more resources to putting out more content that people wanted to see, and hired a few more fresh faces then this channel would still been a success, even when Sessler left. I mean come on, video game channels pretty much rule TH-cam right now. Seems like a silly decision to me.
Then again, maybe Sessler left because Discovery was dicking them around so much and he wanted more autonomy. There was a time when there was like 7 new shows coming out, and then they made a few episodes of those shows and then dropped them. Like the Internet wormhole, or whatever that was called.
Was Discovery running Rev3? I had no idea. .__.
TheZENbros if you look around, Rev3 seems to have their hands in tons of different things/topics.....kind of in a bad taste kind of way to me. I definitely think it had a huge factor in the content and end of this channel.
***** Which is exactly why I think the channel (and it's active members/employees) has lost it's honesty and innocence essentially several years ago. I wasn't able to take them seriously for a very long time now. Dodgy reviews, strange opinions, generally being very apologetic about when a developer fails. I'm also not sure what Adam's reputation really was based upon when he started to pop up in this show, because in earlier days he wasn't quite the honest type when it came to games. It's difficult to really prove, so do not take my word for it, but I'm fairly sure he's had his days of being way more positive about a game than he should (or even wanted) to be, because of clicks, views and ad revenues to a channel and website. I can't believe for a second they were somehow as independent as they seem to claim. I know how opinions tend to be very subjective, but they rarely were critical about specific things. Things seemingly ignored.
Best of luck. Thanks for the amazing video reviews on the games I love. You made a difference in the gaming community!
Just came back to watch this again. I miss Rev3Games. Great stuff, man. :(
+Mike Crichlow Me too man. Just kept on coming back and watching their old let's plays. I miss them so much. Especially Adam and Anthony.
Your Awesome Tara , I will miss seeing ya on Rev3 . You give Gamer Women a good name . Your videos and humour made me happy . I especially enjoyed your Lets Plays cause I got to hear your's and the crews personality and the fun you had making them . I hope to seeing you in future , Thnx 4 Everything!!
Rip Rev3games
Rev3's shows has always been my favourite. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you and Nick over the years and I will miss you guy, a lot.
good luck in the future i really enjoyed this channel over the years
"shit, well at least Tara is still there"
*goes back on youtube*
"what the fuck man..."
Did something happen over at Rev3 that made everyone leave?
Watch the video and u might find out.......
YUP.
***** what? all Tara said was you might have been noticing changes to the staff.
MrMatrixman92 "here today to announce that rev3games is officially shutting down" . Jesus christ.....
***** yeah, I am asking why. Rev3 is probably closing because majority left. Why did everyone leave in the first place?
lets be honest it all gone to shit after Destructoid the weekly show shutdown.
Same here, when Rev3games and destructoid was at their peak with Tara and Max hosting the destructoid show it was truly a sight to behold. But it just went downhill after that, It was truly painful to watch.
love rev3games from the beginning you were the place for reviews and inside opinions all the shows were great im gonna miss you guys i hope we may meet again. :)
I loved this channel because I loved you guys. It was fun, wish you the best
Conglaturation !!!
You have completed a great game.
And proved the justice of our culture.
Now go and rest our heroes !
Man, this sucks, you guys did a great job and I'm going to mis Rev3 games. This is going to leave a huge void in my online video game journalism consumption, because it was pretty much this and IGN for me, and this was way more credible and comprehensive
I'm really going to miss casual Fridays, the livestreams, and especially their coverage around E3
ngreatshark Yeah their E3 coverage was the best.
I really much enjoyed this channel and I'm devastated to hear of its closing. You all did amazing work to produce high quality videos that were well opinionated and thought provoking. I'm sure you'll go on to do incredible things Tara and the rest of Rev3.
Just came back to this channel, I had forgot it shut down and needless to say it was rather upsetting to be reminded of the tragedy and loss we all faced with the end of the beautiful channel that was Rev3Games.
I'm so sorry, but I'm done. I subbed to Rev3 because of Adam, but since he left, I was having doubts. But when I saw that Nick and Tara were staying, I had hope. I sticked with it, and felt rewarded in the end. They were fitting replacements.
But now that they are BOTH gone, I have no reason to be subbed anymore. I have no connection and no liking of ANY of the other newbies, and now that Rev3 is being headed by very inexperienced journalists, I can tell it won't do well. Also, Discovery is leaving them, so I don't even know if they're going to exist anymore. So I guess this is goodbye Rev3Games, it was a great ride.
Did you watch the video? Rev3 is shutting down..
Talal 86 Ok ok no need to be pushy. I suspected as much. I wish the best of luck to the staff for finding new jobs.
FIXEDbyFIXER Because it didn't tell you everything.
FIXEDbyFIXER Why would you read the Bill of Rights when you already know the title is "the Bill of Rights"?
Did you even bother to watch before commenting? Rev3 is shutting down. So saying "oh they're gone I'm unsubbing" is pointless because there isn't anything to be subbed to anymore. Jesus, it's like everyone here just immediately leaps to the comments to say something without bothering to actually watch or listen to the videos.
okay so I subbed for Sessler, RIP, now two more are gone? yeah I don't care anymore, good ride.
The one I fantasize about is leaving.
No moar rub naow. Rev3dead5me.
You realize that they're shutting down right? I mean, it's in the first 30 seconds of the video...
Billie Gene oops, rip
Color Bars omg, you're here
Billie Gene "Your fired!"
"NO I QUIT!"
Thanks for everything Tara & everyone at Rev3! Enjoyed watching your shows! I'll keep an eye out for all you guys on the interwebs! Onward to new adventures!!!!
Sad to hear about this. I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.
I miss this channel, too bad.
It's a shame that this channel is shutting down. It was a pretty good gaming channel.
It is New Years 2023 and god damn I miss this channel
will miss you and the casual friday crew and adam and max and nick , thx for the good times watchin video game reviews , i hope your next job is as cool as this one was , good luck hotty ;)
Serious question - what other good youtube channels are out there in this vein of gaming journalism? I liked Rev3 because they were genuine and didn't feel like they were way up their own asses about anything. They were fun and had good opinions... are there any other channels I could watch that fill this niche?
Thanks in advance.
INSIDE GAMING
Check out The Grid Gaming, they're new to the world of gaming journalism, but might be something to watch out for.
I enjoy the crew at OutsideXbox
I...yeah this is gonna come off as a plug, but whatever - I started reviewing games because of Rev3 and its awesome staff. I took a break with the recent shit-show but I guess it's time to start writing again.
I used to "hate" Angry Joe thinking he was just another "character" in the "angry reviewer" fad. After checking his videos out though, I 100% love the guy, he clearly loves and cares about videogames and I'm so happy when he gives tough love to games, he is the most honest reviewer you can get. GiantBomb is always super fun too and I think gamespot has gotten better too.
