I don't disagree with Yahtzee on anything as he is only stating his opinion. If I find I don't share the same opinion about one of his chosen topics I don't jump to the immediate conclusion he is wrong, just that we don't see things the same way. I will say however that even when I don't share his opinion on a subject he has yet to fail to make me laugh my ass off. Which is the reason I'm a fan, not because I'm looking for game advice.
So what you're saying is you disagree with his opinion, but you dislike the semantics of the term "disagree."
To "disagree" is to differ in opinion.
Although I agree on the latter point. Even when I disagree with him (as you do), he consistently entertains me.
I actually prefer watching him rip games I play and enjoy. This may come from the fact that I recognise more about the games, but it also makes me more prone to find points of disagreement.
He seems to think that God Of War is a better hack and slash game than the Devil May Cry series or Bayonetta. The guns aren't meant to be the primary weapon in a 'hack and slash' game Yahtzee! Also, Demon's/Dark Souls. I think some of my favorite walkthroughs are the ones where someone who looks like they're no good at games in general play DS and actually get pretty far or even beat those games, and he can't seem to get past the first few levels. And Valkyria Chronicles. That game is awesome. While a lot of his opinions are exaggerated and made for comedic effect, I do think he brings up some good points even against games I do like.
i disagree on only one point and that's that he only does one show a week. I could do with 7 or 8 a week. There's 60 some years of game back logs and i really want to hear his opinion on asteroids
I totally disaggre on his Witcher 1 & 2 and Daemon's Souls Reviews, as they are all one of my favourite games of this gen. I still found the videos damn funny though.
Yahtzee is not a reviewer. He's a comedian. His video's are meant to be entertaining and good for a few chuckles. To take them seriously to the extend of asking who disagrees with what points of him is just wrong in my opinion. Anyone who doesn't disagree with a lot of what he says needs to crawl out of their cynical cave and look at the real world. Because he exaggerates the negatives...a lot. At least that's how I see it.
All this attacking on Nintendo. I just love Nintendo. I don't understand the attacks. Same with RPGs. Play Final Fantasy. Play Fire Emblem. Play Fallout. Play Riviera: The Promised Land. Can you honestly tell me they're all exactly the same?
Unlike Yahtzee, I liked Nathan Drake. Even if he was a little too physically competent/superhuman to be the everyman he was portrayed as, his personality really helped him stand out from all the Marcus Phoenixes in gaming, which made him much more interesting as a character.
I disagree with Yahtzee on alot of things... I still like to hear his opinion every week cause even if I think he's completely wrong he's always entertaining.
It's fairly easy to tell what he really cares about and what he dosen't, when he does care he reliably offers some very interesting and intelligent opinions and when he dosen't he can at least wring a few good laughs out of it.
I disagree with Yahtzee on most things. It would be easier to make a list of the things I agree with Yahtzee on. Yahtzee's reviews have only slightly more influence on my buying habits than they have punctuation. That being said, I still find ZP hilarious and he does usually make points worth thinking about even if 70% of the time or so I still disagree with him when all is said and done. That in itself makes ZP worth watching.
Capcha: 'exercise more' Now you're just being mean capcha bot, you know I'm sensitive about my weight...
I disagree with him on the Metal Gear franchise though I do have the same feelings towards MGS4, Borderlands though I did play the game with friends so yeah I defiantly had a different experience from his, Brutal Legend which I was still able to have fun with, and on Walking Dead Survival Instinct (which I feel proves he is becoming a banana) other then that I tend to agree with him for the most part.

I like different things (like RTS's) but flat out disagreein, not often. I might not rally behind all of them but generally his ideas and suggestions seem well thought out. Most things mentioned in this thread are taste or prefence aswell
I don't really take most of what he says seriously since his reviews are, for the most part, for comedic value. But have to half disagree with his thoughts on Bioshock Infinite's ending.
If it were a movie or a book it would have been alright. Something you sit down to enjoy without really getting involved and then there's a plot revelation/twist at the end. That's fine.
Spoilers!

For a game, the ending sucks the same cliched pair of balls that have barely had a chance to dry off. For something you're involved in, with choices, overcoming challenges, ect. ect. To just lie down and surrender after all that is just bullshit. It wouldn't fix anything anyway, given how fractally fucked time/space is at this point, saying that all of existence's multiple realities are linked to this one incarnation of one guy letting himself be drowned by multiple incarnations of his daughter in a pocket dimension is ludicrous. Getting fucked over or dying in some fashion happens so often nowadays that surviving or actually accomplishing the goal you set out for could be considered a twist ending.
On limbo being really good. I bought it, following his positive review of it, but found out that it pretty much deflates about 3/4 into the game, relying on brute force puzzles rather than anything else.
i disagree with his views on the third game in a series (where he claims by the third game everyone is tired and it will be inferior), sometimes the third is the best or at least still great my opinion such as:
Uncharted 3
morrowind - sure its different than the first too but isnt the point to find its identity in sequels and keep improving the mechanics and those who dont count the first 2 elder scrolls then skyrim can be another example
Bioshock infinite - ok it isnt the third in a story, but still the third bioshock and is still amazing, improving on the first two

Are you honestly fucking joking? Galloping Fuck Christ, use spoiler tags. Quote my post to see how they work.
OT:
The PS4, mostly. He makes this huge deal about it not being backwards compatible and there being a share button on the controller and Sony not having actually shown the machine, but . . . really?
Of course it won't be backwards compatible. The Cell, though it allowed for great things, made the console wars (which he has called pointless on numerous occasions, a sentiment with which I agree) even more partisan than they would have otherwise been, and it's crushingly hard for independent studios to work with. They made the decision to move to PC architecture because it would allow indie developers more freedom and ease of access to develop for the PS4.
I mean, I don't know if you've been following Sony lately, Yahtzee, but literally almost everything they've been doing recently is to make indie games better for the PS4. If you disagree with that, it's one thing, but you could at least fucking acknowledge that there is a point to Sony's decisions.
Also, the share button is still mostly a mystery, and Sony have said that it won't be mandatory or a huge push with the console's games. Same thing with the touch pad on the back.
Also, does it really matter that we haven't seen the console itself? I don't think that seeing a glorified Blu-Ray player would assuage any of these fears, and, let's be honest here, who gives a shit what the console is going to look like? We've seen the specs in action (tech demos, the press conference videos), and we have an idea of what direction they want to go with the games. Nobody remembers a console because it looks pretty. They remember consoles because of the games on it, and the games are what define consoles.
Like, fuck. It's just a cavalcade of logical fallacies and deliberate ignorance of press coverage.
