Ever Bought A Game Based Solely On Yahtzee's Review?

[Plazmatic]

Why would you BUY something because of his reviews, your more likely to NOT buy something, or SELL it because of his reviews.

Yahtzee says positive things about games?

Saints row 2 and painkiller, two bloody amazing games

 

[carpathic]

I've not bought a tonne of games. I find that often Yahtzee and I like similar things in games. Much like the movie critic who often displays similar tastes.

While my taste diverges from his, often by a lot, in general terms, there is typically some sympatico.

When i found psychonauts on sale, I bought remembering Yatzee's review

 

[one of them]

Nope; and I don't plan too.

 

[Doc Theta Sigma]

Yahtzee led me to Saint's Row 2. I thank him every day for that.

As do I. Perhaps one of the greatest purchases I ever made.

 

[GeneralGrant]

I bought the first Condemned because Yahtzee said it was good. And it was.

Braid.

Although the world's most awesome debacle (Prototype vs. Infamous) happened right before I got Prototype, so...

Buying? That's for people with Money.......

On topic anyway i Played Psyconausts, it was fun, and humorous, all up till the end

 

[lacktheknack]

Yahtzee says positive things about games?

Not often, because eveyone hated his Psychonauts review (which he loved).

 

[Canadamus Prime]

No, but I did try PoP: Sands of Time and wonder how Yahtzee liked that game since I found the combat beyond frustrating. I eventually got to this part where I just kept getting my ass kicked by constantly spawning enemies.

 

[chozo_hybrid]

No, I take his reviews for the entertainment they are. I tend to agree with him on things, but there are games I have enjoyed despite him and others reviews.

I just get a good laugh out of him.

 

[rekabdarb]

lol no, as said in a previous thread i look up video games before i buy them

 

[Xanthious]

Just Duke Nukem Forever . . . .

 

[Blanks]

Painkiller >.>

The ONLY time I've taken his review seriously and with good grace

 

[Quiet Stranger]

No, I'm capable of forming my own opinions on things.

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

Not to mention it's incredibly stupid.
You've got a brain, you're the one who knows what you enjoy, and Yahtzee is no God.

exactly, it`s like my mom who doesn`t see movies if it got a bad review or if everyone hates it (everyone being her friends....probably)

Psychonauts was the best use of my money yet.
