Poll: Do You Still Like ZP?

[Mikeyfell]

Yes I still love Zero Punctuation, Admittedly I think Feed Dump has taken over as my favorite Escapist show but that's only because Feed Dump is amazing, Zero P hasn't gotten any worse.

Having those two shows on the same day really clogs up all the good stuff on Monday and Wednesday. Movie Bob is great, but he's alone on Tuesday and Friday. and then Thursday....
No Right Answer is fine.

I haven't enjoyed his videos as much lately. His last review was especially bad. Flip-flopping on his opinion of Doom 3, completely misinterpreting why people criticized him for naming MW3 and BF3 his 'Worst Games of 2011,' using the "I'm older than you so I know better" card, etc. It was just embarrassingly bad.

He really is just unpleasable. He complains about there being no good survival horror games and when he's given one (Siren: Blood Curse) he shits all over it. He complains about realistic grey/brown shooters and when he's handed some fun, colorful, and decidedly unrealistic shooters like Borderlands 2 and Bulletstorm he shits on them as well. He rages against sequels and reboots for merely having the audacity to exist yet the one game he can never shut the fuck up about is a sequel itself and some of his other favorites are sequels and reboots as well.

Did Yatzee stab your favorite game? just because he doesn't like the game you like doesn't make it a game you can't enjoy, if it does you need help way beyond anything I know of.

Misinterpreting why people criticized him for nameing the kings of shit, as such? MW and BF are stagnating in their own piss ((I am hoping COD:BO 2 decided to change up the formula by being so BALLS OUT INSANE,)) Borderlands is not a fun game in my book either, but yet my friend keeps playing it,

Now, I LOVE, FUCKING ADORE, Ghost Recon online, and i only played 15 minutes of it (Computer too suckky to play any more)) but if YZ got ahold of it, he would be complaining about the cover based shooting and the like, But again, at that point I have already agreed to have Ghost Recon's little spunk babbies and nothing he can say can change it, if he has FUNNY points I STILL LAUGH MY ASS OFF.


Long ass rant short,

Your view is skewed, He hates Cover Based shooting. He hates sight seeing tours. he hates games that break up the pacing of the shooting for you to look through 20+ boxes for slightly better guns. He loved Painkiller, He loved Prince of Persia, He loved Silent hill 2, Saying he hates all games is like if I said Ghost Recon Online sucks because its cover based shooting has been done offline better


Yes ghost recon online I will suck your Dickoff

 

[Ascarus]

FFS people his entire shtick is that of an unpleaseable jackass. it is just a routine.

if you get the feeling that he doesn't like a particular game or contradicts himself from one review to the next, maybe its because his dislike is more directed at an industry (he clearly loves) that he feels is shitting on the very audience they claim to want to entertain.

 

[In Search of Username]

Yep, haven't noticed any change at all really, it seems as good as ever.

This is a one of the smaller things I don't like about him he is a giant hypocrite in one video he said "I don't like being led by the nose I think the games should let you figure things out by yourself." Then says later maybe a month or 2 later "I didn't know where to go the games was giving me enough markers and etc."

I also don't like that he isn't that good at games in general so he says there too tough when there pretty fair or easy on the hardest difficulty, and don't say "well that's because your a no life." He's paid to review games he should be better.

No I don't think its because he shit on to many games he likes it's Yahtzee we don't come to see if he liked that game, we would go to an actual review for that stuff we come to be entertained and he has become un-entertaining I came to this sight for Yahtzee but I have stayed for the other things.

 

[nexus]

I don't enjoy it as much as when I first discovered it, and then for some time. I don't know what it is, maybe it was how he used to include music to each episode.. or a different style.. but I definitely enjoyed it more then.

 

[David Huff]

this is odd the poll mostly loves him but the comments dislike him, weird.

anyway, no not really, I don't think he's that funny, razor fist is way better, although even he is starting to get a lot worse.

I noticed the poll/comments divination I guess some people didn't notice the poll or something.

 

[gamerguy20097]

my only issue with ZP is that yahtzee can't seem to review something other than shooters. If anything while ZP is still quite enjoyable he needs to give the genre a long break. Its gone from what will he review next, To what shooter will he make fun of next. Its getting old, stale, and quite predictable. Other Gernes exist besides shooting Yahtzee!

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I do like them still, but like everyone my love for it has greatly shrunk down. I mean, it's only five minutes long, it's simple, it's funny, it's relevant to my interests, so why not watch it? I just never look forward to Wednesdays as much as I did, sometimes I forget to watch the video for a few weeks and catch up when I have the urge.

 

[Vault101]

somtimes....I get sick of it, but then I'm rather sensitive to people criticising what I like

I prefer his columns because they seem more constructive...he's spot on about why online isnt better because its online

 

[Polarity27]

He's hit-or-miss for me. Sometimes he still cracks me up (just about any time he reviews an MMO, especially), and sometimes I backclick from boredom. But he's been hit-or-miss for a long time, IMO, it's not a new trend.

Jimquisition is keeping me here far more religiously than Yahtzee is anymore.

 

[Angie7F]

I think we just get used to things too quickly.
Sure the poll says we like his, but the thing is we like him enough to keep liking him, but not enough to beloving him.

 

[username sucks]

There is no joke answer for someone like me who has never seen an episode of ZP. Maybe with all the hype there is for it I should watch som- Oh look a distraction! I dont have time to watch!

 

[Smolderin]

Ah, that is an easy one, it is because the people who still like Zero Punctuation, which according to the poll is the vast majority, really have nothing to complain about...thus...they don't feel the need to write anything. But the few people who don't like it..well...you know what they say, angry people just love talking about how angry they are.

 

[Vausch]

I have noticed changes in Yahtzee's style over the years and honestly I don't laugh as hard, but that's not because it's not funny. It's just that I've been around his style of humour for a long while. I still enjoy it though and when laugh-out-loud joke comes around that's extra joy for the day.

 

[Pink Gregory]

How many pop music recordings are actually in the public domain though?

Why does it have to be pop?

Well being recognisable (ie pop music) have been half of the appeal of them, plus it would use up a lot of his time trawling through public domain recordings to find something appropriate or topical each week.

Actually I'm unsure if that many recordings are actually in the public domain; if he was doing it as a hobby project for free, then it'd be less tricky, because he'd only need permission, but because he gets paid for it (and of course, he should) then using licenced recordings becomes thorny.

 

[AngloDoom]

I'm going to go for the 'spicy food' approach some witty Escapist came up with - I used to laugh until I cried at some reviews and I even went back to those same reviews recently without remembering the bits which made me laugh so hard and I barely chuckled.

I still think ZP is the best series on the website and there are some videos which occasionally make me laugh to this day - I just think I'm far too used to the 'style' of Yahtzee's reviews to have the same delight after almost four years of watching them at least once a week.

Considering I go off of most internet series in a few months, I think he's done pretty darn good at holding the attention of magpies such as myself.

 

[FallenMessiah88]

Yes I do. ZP is currently the only show on this website that I watch regularly. Not all episodes are equally funny, but then again that's almost impossible.

 

[Felipe Nurwandi]

Honestly I'll still watch it, but I know it's hit or miss a lot of the times. I just think that it's now not up to par with other escapist shows.
