Thank you, I hate all these people who constantly bow at Yatzhee`s feet whenever he reviews something and then depending on the review decide to buy it or not
I bow and grovel before my hatted homemade effigy of yatzhee not for his reviews deep insight, though I do love them even when I disagree.
I worship yatzhee as a god as he has discovered the long sought after secret of making large quantities of money whilst sitting at home in your pyjama's
I will admit I also bow and grovel at his reviews on games I also hate

I try to avoid reviews as much as possible because they are almost every time of different opinion as I am. Though if I would check out reviews I would watch Yahtzee's because he makes good points in his reviews. You do have to have a certain knowledge of what to expect though. Can't believe everything he says.

i'm not generally picking on you here, its just i've read so many posts like this on this thead.
i must be of the minority who enjoyed "GTA4" and it's relative expansion disc "episodes" better than i did saints row 2. :(

No. If anything, he's saved me a couple hundred dollars on games I would have otherwise bought.

I've only ever not bought something because of one of his reviews, although I have bought a game or two because I saw it on Unskippable.

Not entirely based on Yahtzees review, but his generally positive view of DA:O finally persuaded me to buy it. What a mistake that turned out to be.

I also bought Saints Row 2 on his recommendation and found it a bit shit actually. But I did enjoy Dark Void quite a lot.

He tends to put you off more than turn you onto something.

Saint's Row 2, Painkiller

Went online and bought Painkiller because of his review, bought Saint's Row 2 from work for the PS3 because I reconized it from his review as being good

Other than that, I use his reviews to tell people about games I haven't played yet or have no interest or system to worry about, so I use his more as a recomendation to people...but I do try to rent the games he likes

Nope. I don't watch ZP to tell me how to spend my money. Yahtzee is funny and provides perspective, but that's about it. If want to buy "Hello Kitty's BDSM adventure Island" I'm going to, regardless of how well Yahtzee may have liked it.

Yahtzee led me to Saint's Row 2. I thank him every day for that.
Me too! Also, I'm really happy for the "small animal torturing insane" level of character customization. Not enough games let you do that.

FOR FUCK'S SAKE:
Yahtzee does not "review", he criticizes and annoys the hell out of me for what is apparently entertainment value.

If I based a single decision off of what he said, I would promptly beat myself to death with a frying pan.
That'd be entertaining to watch, so be sure to film it ^.^

That said, solely on his recomendation - painkiller mostly cause without him, i'd never have known about it.
where his opinion factored in - quite a few actually.

Two words: Lightning and Shuriken.

Edit - oh yeah, but otherwise no. What do you want, there was a steam sale shortly afterward and who am I to argue with $5 for an evening's entertainment when the alternative is $50 at the bar?

I think I've been quoted like 15 times in this one thread. New record!

Yes BUT if it can get his approval then its got to be good.
