Poll: Do You Still Like ZP?

[nexus]

I don't enjoy it as much as when I first discovered it, and then for some time. I don't know what it is, maybe it was how he used to include music to each episode.. or a different style.. but I definitely enjoyed it more then.

 

[David Huff]

this is odd the poll mostly loves him but the comments dislike him, weird.

anyway, no not really, I don't think he's that funny, razor fist is way better, although even he is starting to get a lot worse.

I noticed the poll/comments divination I guess some people didn't notice the poll or something.

my only issue with ZP is that yahtzee can't seem to review something other than shooters. If anything while ZP is still quite enjoyable he needs to give the genre a long break. Its gone from what will he review next, To what shooter will he make fun of next. Its getting old, stale, and quite predictable. Other Gernes exist besides shooting Yahtzee!

I do like them still, but like everyone my love for it has greatly shrunk down. I mean, it's only five minutes long, it's simple, it's funny, it's relevant to my interests, so why not watch it? I just never look forward to Wednesdays as much as I did, sometimes I forget to watch the video for a few weeks and catch up when I have the urge.

somtimes....I get sick of it, but then I'm rather sensitive to people criticising what I like

I prefer his columns because they seem more constructive...he's spot on about why online isnt better because its online

 

[Polarity27]

He's hit-or-miss for me. Sometimes he still cracks me up (just about any time he reviews an MMO, especially), and sometimes I backclick from boredom. But he's been hit-or-miss for a long time, IMO, it's not a new trend.

Jimquisition is keeping me here far more religiously than Yahtzee is anymore.

 

[Angie7F]

I think we just get used to things too quickly.
Sure the poll says we like his, but the thing is we like him enough to keep liking him, but not enough to beloving him.

 

[username sucks]

There is no joke answer for someone like me who has never seen an episode of ZP. Maybe with all the hype there is for it I should watch som- Oh look a distraction! I dont have time to watch!

Ah, that is an easy one, it is because the people who still like Zero Punctuation, which according to the poll is the vast majority, really have nothing to complain about...thus...they don't feel the need to write anything. But the few people who don't like it..well...you know what they say, angry people just love talking about how angry they are.

I have noticed changes in Yahtzee's style over the years and honestly I don't laugh as hard, but that's not because it's not funny. It's just that I've been around his style of humour for a long while. I still enjoy it though and when laugh-out-loud joke comes around that's extra joy for the day.

How many pop music recordings are actually in the public domain though?

Why does it have to be pop?

Well being recognisable (ie pop music) have been half of the appeal of them, plus it would use up a lot of his time trawling through public domain recordings to find something appropriate or topical each week.

Actually I'm unsure if that many recordings are actually in the public domain; if he was doing it as a hobby project for free, then it'd be less tricky, because he'd only need permission, but because he gets paid for it (and of course, he should) then using licenced recordings becomes thorny.

I'm going to go for the 'spicy food' approach some witty Escapist came up with - I used to laugh until I cried at some reviews and I even went back to those same reviews recently without remembering the bits which made me laugh so hard and I barely chuckled.

I still think ZP is the best series on the website and there are some videos which occasionally make me laugh to this day - I just think I'm far too used to the 'style' of Yahtzee's reviews to have the same delight after almost four years of watching them at least once a week.

Considering I go off of most internet series in a few months, I think he's done pretty darn good at holding the attention of magpies such as myself.

 

[FallenMessiah88]

Yes I do. ZP is currently the only show on this website that I watch regularly. Not all episodes are equally funny, but then again that's almost impossible.

 

[Felipe Nurwandi]

Honestly I'll still watch it, but I know it's hit or miss a lot of the times. I just think that it's now not up to par with other escapist shows.

 

[VladG]

Ehh... hit and miss. There's certainly a lot less effort on Yahtzee's part. Perhaps he's planning to move on.

 

[SextusMaximus]

Why yes, I do like Charlie Brooker.

 

[Substitute Troll]

He has good arguments and presents them in a highly enjoyable manner, but it got old a long time ago for me. It just seems like he riffs on the game to please the crowd, so it results in nitpicking. Annoying nitpicking. Especially when he's flat-out wrong but doesn't realize it.

 

[joshuaayt]

I do- watch it religiously, in fact. My faviourite regular humour video.

I don't really think "Yahtzee isn't fair to games he personally didn't like" is a good reason to dislike the show, he's like the Top Gear of gaming- you aren't really watching it for a critical analysis of a product, you just want to laugh hearty.
