Do you get upset if Yahtzee trashes a game you like?

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

yahtzees funny. and saying he liked a game isnt as funny. so he just trashes them. Though he does bring out some good points. there was really nothing i could disagree with on what he said about oblivion if i recall correctly, but i played the fuck out of that game.

 

[BNSNightshade]

well, he probably knows better than I do... he is a professional after all! Plus, if I've already bought the game and I like it, I don't mind what other people say about it! If I here a game is bad before I buy it, I won't! simple as that. That's basically the only thing I take from reviews; what not to buy. (oh and I am kind of interested in a good opinion on what not makes a good game)

 

[MoosieMann]

actually the opposite, i find it interesting the counterpoints he brings to games i like.

My response should be somewhere in the Super Smash Brother Brawl review.
EDIT: No sorry, it's actually in mailbag showdown.

 

[Use_Imagination_here]

No. He has never trashed a game I really cared about. So I wouldn't know.

 

[captainwolfos]

His reviews are meant to be taken with MOUNTAINS of salt.

Personally, no. I find them hilarious.

 

[mrsuperunderpants]

Nope. He's a critic that's his job.
He has trashed quite a few games I like but he does it with such humour I don't mind in the slightest. Plus he does actually make a lot of good points in his reviews.

 

[Gamer_152]

No, Yahtzee's a melodramatic hyper-pessimistic internet comedian. He trashes all games, and that's the way we love him.

 

[TheEndlessSleep]

He slates a game for all its worth because its his job...

Sometimes he will pick up on some bad aspects of the game that don't matter for the sake of comic effect.

Essentially, this means that I will watch his reviews for entertainment, but generally ignore his opinion of a game when considering what to buy.

However, when Yahtzee likes a game, You know it's something special...

 

[Popido]

Hes a very correct man that speaks whats in hes mind. Its sad to see people dismissing hes opinions as comedic acts in their own denial.

 

[jopomeister]

I love to watch his reviews on games I own and like, because it gives me a different perspective, but it's always more fun to watch his reviews on games I personally dislike, but someone I know worships, because then I can show them a different perspective. So fun to see their dreams crushed.

 

[Vilcus]

No. No I do not. I also don't get upset if anyone anywhere doesn't like something I like. It's their choice what they do, and do not like. Besides, his videos are for entertainment, or at least that's how I've always seen them.

 

[Alyssacubi]

Not really, because I generally go "Ohhey, I never noticed that." or "Yeah, I agree." And shrug it off and enjoy it, because it's my perspective of the game that counts when i'm playing it, not his.

Though his reviews are -amazing- <3

 

[AlternatePFG]

No, not at all. However when he praises a game that I also liked, that does make me a bit happy.

 

[Ixnay1111]

Lol people who get angry say "Its his opinion. Hes just negative. Hes just funny."

He's very objective for the most part.

 

[Spy_Guy]

I personally think his points are very valid. I mean, after he completely blasted SPORE (a game that I liked), I actually started seeing the faults, and I can't stand that game any more.

On the other hand, if I like something and he can't change my opinion on it, then that's fair enough.

Though, I will say that making my decisions on what to purchase based partly on ZP is very kind to the wallet.

 

[Nightmare-Child]

Nope, not in the slightest.

 

[rob_simple]

The only time I tend to get disappointed is when he doesn't tear a game as much of a new arsehole as I'd hoped.

For example, Fable III, which I'd go on record as being the worst game I have ever played, got away pretty lightly in his review, I feel.

 

[alm96]

No, I generally disregard Yahtzee's opinion on games, I only watch them for the humour. I am quite capable of forming my own opinions, and I understand that Yathzee rips on games mainly because that's his, you know, job.
