An unofficial list of games not hated by Yahtzee

[thatguy1]

The Beatles Rock Band...or thats the impression he gave me.

In his SSBB review was this panel:

"want to play rock ba-"
"YES"

 

[Afterglow-]

Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Batman: Arkham Asylum.

 

[duchaked]

ummm he liked Gears of War 2 (begrudgingly so)
despite trying to hate it haa (surprise surprise...also happened to be one of his funniest videos too)

 

[duchaked]

He actually likes half the games he reviews he's just very critical. Some of my favorite games of all time I could criticize to all hell and back. I'm not saying he's a troll or making stuff up, I'm saying he's a critic and does his job well. Knowing the flaws of a game is more important to me than knowing whether somebody has a biased like of a game.

Take for example his review of Smash Bros, his review was completely, totally honest and truthful, the game is a clusterfuck, they sold the game on the basis of characters who were difficult unlockables. It's ridiculous the way so much of the game was done and it's definitely an acquired taste, my first 5 hours of the game were spent loathing it until I could realize what was going on onscreen. The fact of the matter is I like Smash Bros but I can honestly say Yahtzees critical review was completely truthful and the points he made were fair and honest. People seem to think when somebody has a lot to criticize about a game that they hate it, to be honest most people can get past these criticisms, the point of reading a critical review is weighing up the bad and deciding if the game is for you. But the reviewer doesn't necessarily hate the game.

He did however hate Smash Bros, but most games he does like.

he's very critical of games that he feels are mediocre (so basically in that case it's disapproval but not hatred...e.g. mainstream games i.e. Halo), so I guess I can understand that way of expressing an opinion (after all, mediocrity is hard to measure sometimes and often differently)

Fallout 3.

That egg game.

Spiderman 2 the movie the game.

Kinda peggle.

 

[Everin]

Bioshock, cause everyone loves Bioshock and he enjoyed the first one lots, apparently.

 

[brainslurper]

he liked amnesia the dark descent

 

[brainslurper]

also he didnt seem to hate fallout 3 or new vegas

 

[necromanzer52]

This should probably be called "games yahtzee likes" rather than "games yahtzee doesn't hate".
I mean he didn't hate halo 3 or halo:reach but he certainly didn't like them either.

 

[enersha]

final fantasy fourt--HAHAHA JK

Personally, I'd say that the perception that Yahtzee hates the overwhelming majority of the games in reviews is false. Rather, he's been tasked with nitpicking them for comedic value, and so nitpick them he does, to the point where he sounds like he hates the games even if they moderately amuse him.

I will say this much, however: MMORPGs and JRPGs clearly aren't his preferred genres. The former he likens to so much pointless back and forth kicking of shins with minimal influence, the later he rather doesn't like the style.

 

[PureIrony]

He also enjoyed HAWX, and seems to have a soft spot for Tim Schafer's early work, particularly Grim Fandago.

 

[Zeema]

Dead rising 2 he was a fan of that

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

I am only going to ask this once, and it isn't rhetorical, I really want an answer:

Why do you care?

EDIT: Oh my god, I'm the only one to bring this up in three pages. This is pretty bad, even for the Escapist. As the internet would say, for reasons I don't really understand, AND DON'T WANT TO, "Son, I am disappoint." Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go wash the meme of me before it gets infected.

 

[Swarley]

In his Super Mario Galaxy 2 review he actually said the game was good, then spent the other 5 minutes talking about Nintendo.

 

[Timeslament]

I get the feeling he like Okami

 

[Matrixbeast]

His Twilight Princess review made me think he liked Okami...
But I may just be stupid...
