I listened to it. I have listened to this guy before. I have always hated him. he is one of those 'comedians' that always twists the truth in order to find humor in it.

That was terrible. You can tell by the way he talks that he MIGHT have played for 3-5 minutes before going to cook more meth in his bathtub.
No wonder he doesn't get BRINK.

[censored] in their prime.

Watch enough of this guy and you will learn how to judge a game by his reviews.

Kind of a silly review, he just attacked things that don't really matter. Like how theirs different accents and how you can customize yourself.
Nothing is really said about the actual game-play.

I have seen everyone of his reviews and you have to understand that he reviews every game in a criticizing way, besides Saints Row 2 which he liked. Also he does not play multi-player games and is more focused on single player ones due to living in Australia. Take his review for what it is, a review from a game critic.

Sadly, he's right though.

Especially on it being a map back with not that great of maps.

I have been a fan of Zero Punctuation for a while now, but no one should take anything Yahtzee says as an actual review. He is paid to basically tear a game apart. Nick1021 is right, you start to reset your range of what a good review is after a while. Basically, as long as he doesn't describe a game as doing horrible things to babies, it's like an 8/10

i have always loved this guy. anybody who actually takes this guys review serious needs to lighten up and take it as a joke.

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 4:15 pm

AWESOME. He pretty much slaughters games I love, but it's still funny, because most of the time he's actually right in a very exaggerated way. It's good to laugh at yourself sometimes, just don't take him seriously. I know his reviews have never ever swayed me personally to buy, or not to buy, a game.

exactly.....its not a review really,i cant imagine anyone watching that and deciding on a purchase.

Pretty much this. Sometimes I even go buy a game specifically because of how he handles bashing it. It takes a deeper understanding to get what he actually means.

Assassin's Creed (the original) was one of my favourite games, and he absolutely hammered all the flaws he could find. I thought his review of that was brilliant, and so's his review of Brink. I can appreciate what he's saying, but I will respectfully choose to focus on the things it does well instead.

And if somebody DOES make their purchases based of Yahtzee's reviews... they're an idiot. :tongue:

Exactly my opinion. Although if he likes it, it goes straight onto my "To Buy" list.

Yeah, his videos aren't reviews, it's more of a satire.

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 4:22 pm

Indeed! I love the Zero Punctuation reviews, It's just a funny way of looking at games. I agree that it is pretty much all satire.
My favourite of his skits is the Gears of War Chest high walls. "Why the F**K is the whole world littered with walls that only come up to your chest!? How Convenient."

After all, that is how Yathzee reviews games. Sometimes a game just doesn't have enough flaws to actually cut it. Like BRINK.

It's like a review with a hyperrealistic artstyle, isn't it? :teehee:

I stopped watching when he spelled color with a U...

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 11:12 pm

I stopped watching when he spelled colour correctly...

Fixed that for you.

Also... why? What happened at that point to make you stop watching?

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 9:20 pm

Lol Yahtzee, I watch him all the time. I don't question his methods anymore, except lol.

Just to be fair, he has stated several times that FPS is his least favorite genre.

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 5:14 pm

I love this guy and all his reviews are hilarious. For the record he rips on games he likes just as much as games he doesn't. If anyone takes his reviews seriously then they are seriously flawed in the noodle. Its purely for the lolz.

I knew this was gonna get posted here. I also knew everyone was gonna get butthurt over it too.

You guys DO realize he found the game enjoyable, right?

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 4:51 pm

i didnt see anyone getting overly "butthurt" about it really and seriously, if they cant exercise some humility and see the humor while watching this then its there loss....enjoy the game, and enjoy the haters, personally snarky british dudes crack me up.

I certainly didn't see anybody getting too butthurt, I see the jokes have been received quite well.

I also don't tend to derive the idea that he enjoys any game from his critiques.
