See, I got DMC4 the day it came out for the pure fact I liked the other 3. Just one of those guilty pleasures, but it was crap, I love it, but it's a pile of rubbish. I've lent it to many friends and they all say the same, that it sucks. So on that note Yahtzee didn't influence me, just prepared me for what was to come...didn't stop me pending £40 on it.
Yes.
Despite his unfavorable review of The world ends with you, I went and bought it anyway, mostly because if he was bothering to review it it might be worth it, but also because I thought he was being to critical of it.
Also, No More Heroes.

I don't think I've actually bought or not bought anything because of a Yahtzee review, but I've played City of Heroes and it is one of, if not the most competent and enjoyable MMORPG floating around this big great internet of ours. This is in part due to the excellent character creation, which lets me be a giant amazonian fembot who takes orders from the tiny pink cat on her shoulder. Rock on.
he kind of has the same judgment as me, i mean i was certainly not going to buy the new sonic regardless of Ben, but hes just intelligent.
I have never bought a game based a Yahtzee's review. I liked/hated No More Heroes before ZP. Likewise I called Halo mediocre around the time Halo2 was released. My opinion parallels Yahtzee's a lot, but I form my opinion before I see his videos. But his videos do make me think and to look deeper into other reviews before a purchase.
If your really not intrested in the other games you can buy Portal as a stand alone title for £15 on the PC, and its now avaialable of xbox live arcade for the same price.johnx61 said:
But please, do concider getting the whole package. Your getting 5 games for the price of one. Its a much better use of your money. Half-Life is a very good shooter, escially episode 2 which has my faviourite ending in a game ever. Team Fortress 2 is also a fantastic multiplayer game, and its simply beautiful.
While I did many times disagree with Yahtzee, I tried out Psychonauts and Painkiller based on his reviews and enjoyed both games. I take his observations to be a good guide, but not his preference, necessarily.
I didn't know that Psychonauts was an under-rated gem - apparently - (haven't got it yet but I will), and it was the first time I heard the names: Mother 3 and Braid, which got me intrigued.
He has got me interested and made me be wary about a couple of games, but I'm not going to take his word as gospel.

I haven't gotten or avoided any games from Yahtzee's reviews, though Russ Pitts and Susan Arendt have gotten me interested in looking up a game or two.
Yahtzee does do a good job and someone linking me one of his reviews is how I found The Escapist, but he should find a line of work he enjoys rather then playing games he hates

I've never been influenced by Yahtzee, I watch (like many others here do) ZP for entertainment value only, not for the review itself.
