I'm suprised he said nothing good about it, entertaining all the same though...

Funny, I suppose, but it was extremely biased seeing as he doesn't like RPG's. Oh, and I love the reference to his Gears of War 2 review.

his reviews are entertaining to watch but in no way should even be taken in consideration when deciding whether to get the game or not..

Heh, it wasn't as good as him usual stuff. Kinda funny that he didn't realize you could save at any point in the battle.

Well, it's Yahtzee after all. I wonder if he made it to chapter 2...

Not all that surprising, given that he hates ~90% of Japanese games.

You can watch his reviews for fun but in no way you should take his reviews seriously. he makes fun of a lot of games even the ones he likes. When he reviewed MGS4 he had nothing good to say about it and from his review you can tell he only played throw the first Act.

I am a huge Valkyria Chronicles supporter, and feel that everybody who enjoys RP games should own a copy. That said, that was sooooo funny. I don't understand how so many of you have your undies in a twist over a hilarious video. Get over yourselves. Enjoy Valkyria Chronicles, but learn how to laugh also, Nietzsche would be disappointed.

Perhaps it just wasn't funny to us? I'm sick of people telling eachother to get over themselves because they have different opinions. I've laughed really hard at all his reviews - even the ones for games I love, but this one didn't even make me chuckle.

he is without a doubt the worst reviewer ever... he's to game reviews what pope Benedict is to game reviews, simply adding worthless opinions to something which he can barely understand.... i used to find him funny, but then i realized he hates everything.. he's should have stopped playing game well over a decade ago... and *sigh* he doesn't even understand that Valkyria is an S(strategy)RPG...

I felt the same way. Usually he's pretty spot on with the comedy. This one wasn't that great though. Well besides the "egaugahhghgh" part. Haha.

He doesn't mention any positives and he complains about every little negatives.

But guess what? Everything he complained about the game is true.

Menu system is a mess. It's also pointless to divide up cut scenes into pieces and break the flow of storytelling. That method of story telling did great job taking me out of the game world and made me lose interest in following storyline.

And since I'm cynical, like Yathzee I also found it amusing that a Japanese developer made a pseudo-WWII story about innocent victim nation between two evil empires fighting each other for power. Since Japan was one of that stomped on one of those innocent victim nation (Korea) themselves. It's like spitting on your own face.

His review doesn't give you good overall experiance of the game since he only covers the negatives, but it does give you another perspective of the game. Using his review as the only source of info to decide if you are going to get the game or not would prove to be very useless, but check other reviews and sees all the positive and negatives, then Yahtzee's review might point out few negatives other reviewers missed.

As for if he enjoyed the game or not, you can completely throw that opinion away in garbage since his taste in games is horrible.

Surprised he said nothing good? He NEVER says anything good about anything. Hell, he even hated MGS4. He also thinks RE 4&5 is the best in the RE series, and the only good ones. I never gave a damn about this guy's opinion.

LOL! you actually wrote "laugh out loud" !!! :lol: the reviews are still his "professional" opinion, and often times he gets his facts wrong.. he considers himself a "casual gamer" when in reality he just isn't very good, which is where alot of his "complaints" stem from, i've been following Yahtzee Croshaw for many years and he is basically a professional troll

I understand VC has its flaws and people don't like the game, but I didn't find that funny at all. He talked way too fast. I'm not sure if that is his whole deal, but damn it's annoying. Almost annoying as a 17-year old androgynous Japanese male lead in an RPG ;)

Following a "proffesional troll" for years sounds like something a troll would do.

I still wouldn't stress over his reviews, because they are so outlandish and silly, I just don't see how anyone could watch them for anything other than comedic value.

i don't stress over them... i know alot of people who take them seriously though and don't buy alot of great games just because this guy thinks its hilarious to loathe nearly every single thing on the face of the earth :p

He is a critic first, reviewer second. I love his "reviews" and definitely take into account all the bad things he says about any game. I loved VC but I can understand why it isn't for everyone and he is definitely not a fan of japanese games so that doesn't help him like the game any more.

Yeah it is his deal. He is a fast talking British born currently australian based "reviewer." It's basically his job to point out every flaw imaginable in a game and that is the reason I watch it every week.
