I used him as a starting point, I find that most of his points are valid but there are things I like in a game that he does not so I keep that in mind but listen to what he says. Plus, usually I know what I am going to like when I see it in main stream games but I watch his reviews for things I've never heard of to see if it worth looking for.
Why agree with Yahtzee?

I rarely ever completely agree with him, but so what? The man's hilarious and he does manage to bring up some good points. Thing is, I rarely hate any game. What a lot of people would call bad, I would at least call decent. In my 20 years of gaming, I can think of only five games off the top of my head that I would truly say are bad. And of those five, only two are complete pieces of garbage with no redeeming qualities.
So it's no surprise that I would disagree with a guy whose job is to criticize everything.

Yeah I agree with Yahtzee with a lot of points because most of the time it's true. He points out the flaws that could lower the quality and over all experience of the game, of course it's his opinion but for the people with the same eye, they become really interesting reviews as well as hilarious.
Even though I religiously watch ZP, I actually haven't bought a new video game in probably a year, and nor have I played one, either. I still play games, mind, but only my old ones and one certain online game.
So whenever I watch ZP, I really have no basis of comparison to the game. Whether or not I like it, whether things that bothered him bother me, things like that. I've seen every episode, and I guess I keep watching because he is witty and reliable. When he really lays into a game, he always manages to find a different or creative way to put it.
Yahtzee knows a thing or two about comedy, it's apparent in his work. Even though his opinions are serious, his presentation never fails to include proper timing, enunciating, and joke-callback to give it the entertainment we expect.
Wathcing ZP is kind of like watching The Soup on E!, I guess. The host there is kind of a jerk, but he's a funny jerk and gives a proper slap in the face to those morons and douches that are clouding up the celebrity lists these days. And, you don't even have to agree with him to find the entertainment value in what he says, or at the very least, how he says it.

He brings up fair points fairly often that I never realized before he said anything, plot holes, stereotypes, etc, and sometimes he really hits that mark on the games or bad parts in them. Sometimes I find myself thinking "No, I dont think so" to what he says, and every once in a while, "No Yahtzee, your totally wrong. Are we even playing the same game?" Then I can here him saying "Well you arent a fucking reviewer, so shut the hell up, what do you know," or something along those lines.
But he even said it himself. People dont find it as funny when he likes a game, so he targets the bad parts and beats on those a lot. He usually gives it a fiar review, considering how tough a critic he is in the end, but he still focuses on the bad for his reviews.

Don't forget his laziness, mate! He doesn't even finish the games he reviews anymore, nor does he do any research on them. Nier is not made by Square-Enix, it's made by Cavia and PUBLISHED by Square-Enix. Nier is not a "Sims" like game, it's a an action JRPG. His last video had so much potential (what with Nier having so many things to *****/make fun of), but instead it showed how much of a lazy fucker he's become. He's an asshole who makes WAY too many cock jokes (seriously, what was it with Nier that made him think of dicks so much?) and rehashes invalid points while peddling his shitty wears (a novel, Yahtzee? Really? You can barely write a review!).Sir John The Net Knight said:
Pretty much this for me.WorldCritic said:
I bought Darkest of Days based on his review, and I actually loved it! The only thing I have against it is that one level of the Civil War mission line, the saves don't fucking work. That level was fucking annoying and when I try to load a checkpoint, it loaded me back to the FUCKING BEGINNING OF THE FUCKING LEVEL!!! I will buy the game again, but for the PC so I can cheat my way through that one damn level.
i understand his perspectives always, but i just play to enjoy more than anything. thats why i love halo, thats why i love mario kart and anything basically fun. and the humor is an inspiration, but i end up producing perspiration...
I watch for entertainment, not specifically game tips. Although, he does help from time to time in pointing out the faults in a game. Mercenaries 2, he pointed out the faults and I still got it. I sort'a like it too.
I just watch to ZP to laugh at an overgrown British man-child, I've only ever played about ten of the games he's reviewed and regardless of whether or not I agree with his views on a game it's still hilarious.
im sorry, but i have to say when heard you say anti yahtzee it sounds like anti nazi, and pro nazi, just throwing that out there. now then.Rensenhito said:
i didn't think anyone took his reviews seriously, there's no way they're made to actually review games, and are obviously for comedic skits. hes a comedian people, who also happens to comediacise his game reviews.
OK, this is the first time I've commented without reading replies first, so I'm sure I"m repeating. But, screw it, I just wanna respond to the question posed. I indeed came upon the escapist thanks to ZP, and I love Yahtzee, but I don't just agree with him because it's yahtzee. I have watched every ZP, and never commented on any of them, but I've only played one of the games he's ever reviewed, and then my reaction was, "It's funny because it's true!" I have always taken ZP as humor first, review distant second. I believe there must be a true critique within all his reviews, and I actually respect his opinions, but I get that ZP works the best when he can get the most mileage out of the negative aspects. That's all. It's absurd that anyone would form their own opinion based only on Yahtzee's review.
the way i see it he is getting paid to tell us what he thinks about the game. at the same time he has to keep it funny or he would just be another guy on the internet yelling about games that he doesn't like. so i guess what im saying is i agree with him and i dont think to hard about it when he hates on games either
