I'm with you, for the most part. I wouldn't mind ZP still going (though maybe less often, like every two weeks or something), and definitely still want to read EP, but I'm interested in what other cards Yahtzee is holding. Guess I might have to just wait until Mogworld hits the shelves.tellmeimaninja said:
Funny how exactly what he complains about in games (repetetive and dull) is exactly how his series is becoming, seems like he is just getting tired and can't think of new stuff. I mean he is basically saying the same thing every week.
Nope, I love every single ZP. If they seem to be lacking its probably because the most games these days are boring pieces of shit. There's only so much Yahtzee can do to make reviewing them interesting. Although I do wish he would do more episodes like Wolfenstein and Painkiller were he just has fun.
What do you think he has been doing the whole time he has been here? It all seems the same to me.Tribalbeat said:

Also, Zero Punctution isn't some hobby he puts out for the love of the escapist. It's his JOB. You know what those are, right? Those things that you do and someone gives you money? The greeny leafy spendy money? If Yahtzee doesn't do ZP, he doesn't get paid, unless the escapist has him on retainer and then if he doesn't do ZP, he's in breach of contract and he can take as long a break as he wants, because he won't have a job.
I'm sorry if you think that his stuff isn't up to par, I personally like his reviews as much now as I always have. But I'm sure that after a while, you got a little tired of your job(assuming you have one) and slacked off a bit, but you still came in to work the next day. ZP is a job just like yours. Only better.
While I agree the because its free is kinda a bad reason, I think the "problem" is people are too used to him. Ofcourse then people who do not like it should take a break instead and let the rest of us still enjoy it. Why should I suffer cause YOU are too picky? (You being those who agree with OP, not you specifically the person I am replying to)Kollega said:
Unfortunately, Yahtzee chose "Critquing humor" as his style, which essentially means he's only as funny as the latest game allows him to be. If a game is lacking in exploitable flaws, he is forced to import humor from other mediums. Even if a game is flawed, if it is not so in an interesting way, he simply ends up repeating himself from the last video. It's nothing to do with him and everything to do with video games at the moment.
exactly! some reviews are better than others. in general, most of the newer reviews are better than the older ones. but some games, no matter how good or bad, lend themselves to ZP type criticism more so than others.Xyrak said:
What is funny? Well that's entirely subjective. I certainly watch the new ZP every week, and I always laugh at something if not everything. Some weeks my throat hurts from laughing, others I get by with only a couple chuckles. But no "review" thus far hasn't been worth watching for me. Then again, I'm one of those supposedly weird people who still like The Simpsons. I don't feel a particular need to deem something crap because it's been around for a while.
Part of the problem is that he reviews games once a week now. Who the hell, other than game reviewers, play a new game every week? I just went back to his assassin's creed II review because I just started playing it.
ZP is funnier if you have played the game he is reviewing. The time period between his Mass Effect 2 review and his Alan Wake review was especially long for me because I wasn't playing anything he reviewed in that period. Since then I've played Red Dead Redemption and Crackdown 2, and I enjoyed both of those videos.
