I'm a huge fan of Blizzard and a persistent gamer;I take what I can get with every game and try to have as much fun as I can with it. With every Blizzard game before Diablo III, I was able to get my money?s worth, and I held the belief that Blizzard is the company with the highest quality...

That review sounded as if Yahtzee didn't need to put much effort into it.

I'm not discouraging people disagreeing with Yahtzee, but someone declaring a vendetta against him due to his style of reviewing and watched his videos for the sole purpose of picking out straws in his reviews would be unhealthy.

I think your "beef" would be entirely with his idiotic fanbase who takes what he says into 100% concurrence. You mentioned that his methods are sloppy and that his his criticisms are quite questionable, but you never really stated why this is so. It doesn't help to just call someone an idiot of...

I think the issue you're having with Yahtzee is that you're having a hard time to grasp the fact that he criticises games. It's his job, he gets paid for it; it's not idiocy. Yes, it is entertaining to watch him pick apart various mainstream games; why else would you, along with presumably...

It is.

You're right. I'm quite new (as you can tell via post count) here so do excuse this one. I'll try to contact a moderator or something.

A very simple game, really. Basically, I will start with a picture of a screenshot of a game; it can be any game on any console that has ever existed. The first person to guess it right (after my confirmation) will repeat the same process, etc. Without further ado:

I don't see where all the "idiotic" parts are coming from. Yahtzee never made any flawed "arguments", he simply said that the game isn't fun because if someone has every means to achieve something, it just doesn't hit them as fun because certain people probably need limits to a game in order to...

You're saying that you absolutely disagree with the review, but you really haven't stated why that's the case. After watching most of Yahtzee's videos, I can safely say that his resume consists mostly of "tearing games apart by picking out their flaws". In the viewer's case, the best way to...

I agree with the fact that pictures speak louder than words, and I probably would have went in game to take a few screenshots. But I had uninstalled the game sometime back and I don't feel it's necessary unless someone finds that I have a hard time expressing myself. EDIT: Actually, I took...

I doubt that it's so much Yahtzee's lack of imagination which caused him to use the same stuff over and over, but rather the design of the game itself. Note that in the beginning of the review, Yahtzee comments on how the stars are always put in arbitrary and eventually generic locations. The...

chalkin reviews: BIOSHOCK A tad late, I must admit. My bar for any single player RPG is never set too high. It's not that I don't fancy single player games or RPGs, it's because being pessimistic about a game which could be finished in a matter of hours and stored in a shelf without...

I actually regret buying Prototype. For one, it was quite expensive back in the days (somewhere around $80). The bigger disappointment was the gameplay; it was horrid and repetitive. If you didn't do the side quests, you wouldn't have enough points to upgrade. On the contrary, if you did, you'd...
