I like Yahtzee, because like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, his satire and joking reveal a layer of truth about his subject. But I don't agree with everything he says and blindly accept his word as law (besides, I couldn't watch his videos if I were blind, I'd miss half the material!), and I do not hate RTS's. If they're compelling to play and provide a challenge (without being impossible), that's good. I also genuinely like two of his favorite hate target series, Halo and Metal Gear Solid. Both are game-changers of the industry and have spawned legions of imitators and duplicators, for good and ill. I did not, nor do I plan to, play Spec Ops: The Line, because what I heard of it made it sound like not the game for me. I like my game stories to make me feel like I'm a hero whose actions matter and tell me a satisfying story, and not have it yell at me, call me a bastard, and expect me to keep playing the way it tells me to (I got more than enough of that from Homefront). On a related note, when he crowbars a jab at American politics, that just interrupts the flow and humor of the topic at hand. It's like one of Simpsons episodes from one the recent (and BAD) seasons.
Then again, we share a lot of similar opinions on JRPG's, cash-grab sequels, grey-brown shooters that try to pass themselves off as "gritty realism", and useless gimmicks for the sake of gimmickry. I'd be lying if I said none of my current opinions about gaming weren't shaped by Yahtzee.
