Nah it's been out for too long to get a review now. He only dips into the past for games he likes and...he won't like Fable 3, if his disembowling of the past 2 games is anything to go by.Lizmichi said:
I don't care what games he reviews. If I really like the game then I don't really care if he doesn't -- and besides, it's actually fun to laugh at the flaws, even if it's for a game you love. Hell, if I honestly love the game then why would one guy's opinion change it? If it does then maybe I really don't like the game the way I think I do. -shrug-
I don't want to see him review any genre that he isn't into or doesn't understand or want to understand.
SSBB was a step back in the Smash Brothers series, but all the complaints I had about that game he barely even touched on. All the complaints he had about that game seemed to be complaints about the Wii, or complaints about Nintendo, or complaints about fighting/party games. So while I didn't think SSBB deserved the sheer amount of praise it received from the fanboys I also felt like Yahtzee completely missed the point. As much as I love watching him tear over hyped games to pieces it isn't fun if his rage is pointed in the wrong direction.
I'm glad he's not reviewing StarCraft2. It's a brilliantly made strategy game with lots of depth and balance, polish, and developer support. It's also only a fun game for people who are into that kind of game. The single player has plenty to tear apart and I'd be more than happy to hear his take on the story, but once we get to the gameplay review he simply wouldn't have anything substantial to say, any praise would be worthless and any insults would be equally worthless. It would be misdirected and just frustrating to anyone who actually knows anything about the series.
Of course, at the end of the day, he can review what he wants, if he wants to try to review a genre he's never played before or never really enjoyed than more power to him, but what needs to be understood is that many problems he would have getting into it is more his problems with the genre and less with the game itself. It's like what he said about Skate 2: "They don't need me kicking their door down and demanding to be accommodated".
So tl;dr He should only review titles that are in the genre that he wants to play. It would lead to funnier and more legitimate insults.

The Halo Wars and Skate 2 reviews really stand out as he doesn't offer up any legitimate criticism of the game, because he so obviously doesn't understand the underlying game-play enough to know what constitutes a good or bad example of its particular genre. They're funny from an entertainment standpoint, but I can't imagine those reviews affecting anyone's decision to buy or not buy the game.
Well, considering Yahtzee's reviews are, for the most part, pure entertainment value, I don't care what he reviews. Just as long as I can get a laugh out of it.
all or nothing. i hate the somewhat almost cult like fans he has, where they spew just about anything in his name just because he said it, (i know alot of yahtzee fans aren't like this) but the ones that do, are easily comparable to the nazi's of ww2. so when he only bashes specific games it really bugs me that only those games get somewhat opinionated facts spewed at them from people referencing yahtzee like he is the all knowing god of game tastes.
nazi..just about rhymes with yahtzee...
coincidence? i think not.

minecraft, call me a PC nerd but minecraft is the most genius indie game of the year, it's the perfect exapmle that for a good game you dont need to have a lot of developers or millions of dollars.
but he doesn't review games that everyone says that he needs to review (which i guess manny people have done) so im safe i guess...
