Yahtzee is a moron...

Seriously, how on earth can you listen to this guy he complains about everything if i could see him in real life id give him a good work through, he is an annoying arrogant bastard who has no life and yet people find some great about his reviews, how what has become of everyone has anyone ever thought of the fact that he dosent do reviews he is justa depressed critic who punishes any game he touches.

I seriously say this to all his fans, He is a moron, hmm he can deal of hate mail by telling the people off but him going face to face with a person angry over what kind of smart ass old 30 year old he is, he would be running for his life.

I have seen all over the forums, oh yatzhee this and yahzee that oh yahtzee said this game is *** i quite think of the same thing of him he annoys the hell out of me and if he reads this, mate do a proper review and stop doing some dodgy cartoons where you point all the bad points of a game out, i quite think i could point all the negatives in you.

Who else agrees with me/

If I recall correctly, he gets paid for those reviews, thus making them his job. Maybe its just me, but his reviews are more for a comedic purpose, hence why he exaggerates the negative aspects of a game. I find his reviews quite funny, and to the point on some games.

But physically threatening him? I think you need to step away from the computer and really take a look at your life if someone's opinion on something gets you this angry....

you sound like someone who wrote a letter to him complaining about the SSBB review :lol:

Just enjoy the reviews for fun. Half of the games he destroys I enjoy and I could care less.

Well I listen to his reviews because A) if there is something bad about a game he's sure to point it out and B) it's always funny to listen to someone rant and swear.

TBH I don't think anyone is making purchasing decisions based on what he has to say. Though there are a few reviews(cough condemned 2 cough) that I have totally agreed with.

Not the way some people take him, just explain that to me ;)

I go to places and i get something like oh Uncharted is crap because Yahtzee said so, Iam happy for him to continue this you get some laughs out but some people take this gaming to another level, like in the GRan turismo 5 forums some guy was ssaying something about Polyphony perfecting their games he got a reply of, you fanboy say iam a fanboy 5 times because thats what yahtzee said thats what makes me angry.

seriously who here thinks games should be left as a spare time recriation thats what i think of it I personally cant see it being anymore than that even tho i love it, its just something that is done when you have free time, seems as tho people are taking the whole thing to an annoying level.

It sounds like your beef is more with other people than with Yahtzee. This thread should be called People are morons.

He offers an alternative (and often totally spot-on) viewpoint on recent games, generally for satirical purposes. I don't really see how you can get so worked up about that. :|

Thinking of seeing him in person, I'm annoyed at myself for missing him at Game On a few months back, but he'll be at Melbourne's eGames Expo in a few weeks, so that should be awesome. :D

The guy does it more for comedic vaue, they aren't so much serious reviews as him just attacking games for the fun of it. If you don't like him, dont watch it r go into threads about him. Not exactly difficult.

I do find his reviews funny and informative *gasp*

First, he doesn't hide who he is. He is PC FPS nerd that's into games like Half-Life 2, System Shock 2, etc.

and he is also Adventure game fanatic, that only likes specific adventure games.

and he hates Japanese anime-influenced culture.

Knowing all this, all his complaints about subjects that I like, and he hates, I can safely ignore them as something that is unrelated to me. What he hates, is what I like. MGS4's long long cut-scene was highlight to me, not a flaw, so his MGS4 review was funny to me, but wasn't accurately depicting if I will enjoy the game or not.

When it comes to FPS, I'm pretty sure listening to him will do me good because he knows what he is talking about. (except for Half-Life 2 because that's most boring game I've ever played, and I thought Portal wasn't that good *gasp*)

He picks out details of the games that other reviewers would normall overlook. Oblivion review for instance. I've read from other reviewers how great the voice acting was and blah blah blah, but the reality was the conversation was never really smooth because it has odd voice acting dynamics going. A character could talk like 90 old lady and all of sudden speak like 30 year old woman. Breaking the immersion like he mentioned. Other reviewers didn't mention this.

Ok back to the point. The point is, that he doesn't hide who he is. That he likes PC FPS, hates JRPG, etc, and the fact his reviews are his subjective point of view towards the game. The most he will do to be objective is to try and be everyday people (and fail miserably because no matter how hard he tries, he cannot hide the fact he is Western game nerd who hates anything Eastern and things frat boys love), not the fan of the genre.

Not sure why when it comes to game reviews, we have so many of these crusaders that's lifting pitchfork and shove not so enjoyable games to other people's arse. What's up with this unrealistic loyalty?

Of course I do think some companies *cough Microsoft cough* pays people to create these kind of tension in forums, but that's ok. Creating rumors and persuasion is a tactic that's been among society ever since it was created, but I thought by now, people are smart enough to not get persuaded by it so easily. It seems people get rallied up too quickly for a game company and quick to attack someone for having different opinions and attacks others who agrees with someone who has different opinion from them.

I don't care what your favorite game is. It has a flaw, and not everyone will enjoy it. That's a FACT.

But to make a legit review you have to look at the pros and the cons he just points out 99% of the time the cons, its like me saying this guy is so lame, he is stupid, he is a depresed bastard etc but not stating that he can be funny and that the falls of the game are most of the time true except the over exagurates themdazzzilla

He points out pros and cons.

But if game provides more cons than pros, then he will talk about cons more than pros.

He had no complaints about Portals, and his Psychonauts reviews were mostly about pros than cons.

His Assasin's Creed review also was more positive than negative.

Call of Duty 4 as well.

Complaining about games on the internet > Complaining about game reviewers on the internet.

Plus Yahtzee is funny. This, not so much.

I assume you didn't enjoy his reviews. He also seems quite astute at pointing out problems in videogames today (see Turok review).

I LOVE his reviews. I have agreed a lot with the majority of his reviews and i really look forward to coming home on Wednesday nights to see what he is reviewing next. I will always play a game regardless of reviews but i think he's just hilarious. and the pictures that go along with the review just makes it all the better.

I know that he gets his games for free to play, im sure he's sponsored/payed whatever but who cares. its all in good fun.

if you dont like it - dont watch it!

If I recall correctly, he gets paid for those reviews, thus making them his job. Maybe its just me, but his reviews are more for a comedic purpose, hence why he exaggerates the negative aspects of a game. I find his reviews quite funny, and to the point on some games.

Brain3000

Exactly. Yahtzee gets paid just like the AVGN does which is why the exaggerate all the negative aspects of the game to make it funny. Like Yahtzee's Bioshock review. He states right at the beginning that he loves the game, but his fans hate it when he's nice to a game and still tore it a new one.
