Poll: If you were a game developer who had just watched Yahtzee tear apart your video game you would...

[stridernfs]

Every wednesday Yahtzee tears apart another video game or praises it for its wonderful sexyness with a slight coloration of poo, and making games is a hard and very long process with a lot of work (unless your one of those types to use the horror game generilization machine) but after the months and even years of preperation you bring it out and it does great or so you think. Until you absorb the courage to watch Yahtzee's review of it, then Yahtzee makes fun of the horribly brown colored game with sticky controls and little to no replayability, as well as the "artifical intelligence" that leads your unlikeable comic relief to get caught in featureless walls or "accidentally" shoots you. How would you react to his true and hilarious way of calling you a retard for making a poo colored game with poo flavored controls.

Remember that Yahtzee is just an entertainer and that he rips apart every game and go on with my life.

Perhaps even watch the video a few times and laugh.

 

[TraitortoHeaven]

If I was a developer, I would've given him a game and specifically told him to "hate" on it; he's a real funny guy

 

[Wing Dairu]

Take the criticism to heart and keep it in mind during the development of future games. He is a critic, and Yahtzee said it best when he said that criticism is a powerful force for good.

I'd be pissed off. A games is like 2-5 years of your life. EVERYDAY you made that game and now he has told you that everyday you were a twat. It would be hard to not have that eat at you.

 

[Pegghead]

I'd probably learn from what he said and attempt to encompass his advice in my next game.

If I was going to ignore constructive criticism (or in this case saying that every bad feature stinks like a childs corpse) then I wouldn't be a good developer.

I'd be too busy rolling in mah moneyz to care about what Yahtzee says.

Well, either I'm rolling in mah moneyz or Bobby Kotick is firing me. Either way I'm busy.

 

[Cody211282]

I wouldn't care.

 

[Booze Zombie]

"Thanks for the advertisement, Yahtzee! You're a funny guy!"

 

[wildpeaks]

I'd consider his concerns about the game and keep them in mind for the next one.

I'd be too busy rolling in mah moneyz to care about what Yahtzee says.

Or that

 

[Space Spoons]

Well, given that Yahtzee usually reviews the popular games that sell well, I'd probably say,
"Alright, free publicity! That's another ten thousand copies sold. Now where'd I leave my solid gold sandals? I think I'll go for a walk on my private beach."
Or something similar.

 

[Necrofudge]

Well if I somehow managed to make a game big enough that Yahtzee reviewed it in the first place, I'd probably be rich enough not to care in a court battle with Activision and wouldn't notice.

 

[Thedayrecker]

2nd one. Might as well learn from it.

Then again it is just one Australian, so why should I give a fuck?

 

[Treeinthewoods]

I'd probably laugh my ass off and watch it a few more times. It's a roast, don't be a douche when it's your turn.

Then I'd probably roll in my money pile.

 

[Radeonx]

Not care in the slightest.
As a viewer, I don't take any of his reviews seriously, and understand that he does it for sheer comedic effect.

 

[Captain Epic]

The last option although I wouldn't call him a nipple face, I'd just eat pie.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

You are aware, that on most occasions, the Developers are actually enjoying Yahtzee's videos. Hell, when deciding wether Prototype or Infamous was better, he declared it a tie and in Extra Punctuation, revealed that the Developers had given him two pictures. One of Alex Mercer, the other of Cole, both in a dress.

You assume that developers care what the reviewers or in Yahtzee's case, an entertainer, think about their game. In most cases, they shrug it off and keep working. So I'd imagine that they would just ignore it and continue living their lives doing what they enjoy doing.

 

[TheHermit]

The last option although I wouldn't call him a nipple face, I'd just eat pie.

Yeah this. That option was the closest to how I'd respond too.
