In Yahtzee's older reviews the actually pointed out the bad parts and some of the good parts and came to a conclusion. Now he focuses on a few bad things and basically is a dick. It seems like he's just being harsh on games for the hell of it, rather than reviewing them.
While I tend to agree with him, I do disagree with him on several points, mainly JRPGs, which I like a lot.
I rarely have the same opinion with Yahtzee. Unless I allready think the game was gonna be bad. Thats about it. The people who take his review seriously need to be smacked.
Calling him a sellout is a little over the top, dont you think? He hasnt changed his style at all, its been the same old thing. Its like a roast, except we dont get to say anything to himSir John The Net Knight said:
I like his reviews for the fact that he states what other reviewers don't, plus they're comedic. I don't take them serious. I hardly ever take a reviewers word serious (e.g. Lost Planet 2). I liked the demo especially the co-op
Im sorry, but after the 90th thread about this stuff, you question why people keep posting them..
Yes, he is funny. I personally think he is very funny, even on ones where he says awful things about games i love. It is all for fun and laughs.
The people who get mad about his reviews are wasting energy. Listen to all of them, and you will see the countless flaws, the pointless nit picking, and over all bad game review style(he reviews games in the form of a book review, common mistake but fatal to reliability), in my personal opinion.
And why should my opinion matter? It doesnt. And it never will. He will never change, we will never stop watching. I will now create a thread about how these threads are funny but inaccurate and that they should be taking as funny instead of serious, because the irony must go on..

I just wrote a three paragraph rant and do to a forum error it was all deleted, do this is what you get.
To summarize: He is funny, but not a good game critic, and this is the 90th thread pointing it out, so you get a slice of cake. There was a paragraph about making an ironic forum, but now you are stuck with the irony, that you are being offered cake by one with no cake.
It's not a lie, it's a disappointing realization.

I think yahtzee is funny as hell, i watch the videos to see what he thinks of a game wether i like that particular game or not. It doesnt matter if its one of my favorite games, i love to hear yahtzee rip it a new one.
I do on occasion avoid certain games that he has few kind words for but not before checking with other people that i know or at least renting the game to see whats what with my own eyes. Of course there are always a few excpetions to that, such as Brutal Legend, Too Human, and MOH: Airborne. Airborne was horrible, I like my WWII shooters to be you know WWII shooters, and I didnt even go near Brutal Legend because i hate jack black, he's an annoying lumpy headed twat and Brutal legend was barely more than a pile of shit that had been eaten and thrown back up again by one of the Flood combat forms from Halo.
Like I said he's funny as hell, wendsday is by far my favorite day of the week because it means theres a new zp vid but yahtzee and i dont quite see eye to eye on some games but if i enjoy the game then i dont care what he thinks.
also his hat is awsome but we all know that.

ZP might not be a good reviewer, but he often brings up valid points that everyone seems to forget. The Saints Row 2 vs GTA 4 arguments are a good example. No reviewer on earth would ever rate SR2 over GTA4, but truth is, while it might be an inferior gaming in technical aspects, most SR2 players would agree it is a lot more fun.
I don't take his words like they are sacred writings or anything, and I disagree more often than not (like saying UC2 brings nothing new to gaming, when it was one of the most revolutionary games of the year, and most stuff about JRPGs), but he does bring up valid arguments overlooked by "classic" reviewers, because he looks at the game from the perspective of a gamer, reviewing it with fun factor being the most important aspect of the game, not the technical advances and shiny graphics on yet another average space marine shooter like every other reviewer out there.

He just absolutely evicerated my most recent "gaming love" - Splinter Cell: Conviction. So? Doesn't mean I have to agree with him and doesn't mean that I have to dislike his show. The review was funny, I laughed and went on to play the game.
However, if Yahtzee reviews the game I haven't played, I do tend to trust his opinion (seriously, I played BC2 after his review - holy shit, was it spot on).

I don't always agree with Yahtzee, but that's because I don't aways like the same games he does. For example, he doesn't see the point of fighting games and so he doesn't like them, but I do like fighting games.
And also, when he is giving concrette heavy arguments against a game it's really difficult to disagree. Example: The entire review of Too Human.

No I don't agree with Yahtzee in fact I only watch him for laughs so I tend to completely ignore his opinion altogether since his critques are for the laughs usually there is only the odd one that can be taken seriously.
I don't watch him much anymore. I used to watch him too much, and now his style has lost its lustre. And now that Doomsday Arcade has fallen flat on its face and thankfully finished, and Apocalypse Lane has just plain old finished (actually a chunk better than plain old), I guess I'm turning to LoadingReadyRun, ENN and Doraleous and Associates for my video entertainment.
And don't try to convince me to watch Game Dogs or the Unforgotten Realms reboot.
