He did nip quite a bit at AA, his most positive review is the Psychonauts... and yes, I still haven't played the game, no Yahtzee, not my finGERS AGAIN, AAARRRRRGGHHHHHH.aquaman839 said:
Ehem, anyway, the guy's just got a fucking brilliant sense of humour that's very relatable, especially as a gamer (and no, more than gamers can relate to his sense of humour). I've got my hands on Mogworld recently and am about half way through it, really loving, the humour's brilliant and the story's really surprisingly good considering it's his first novel.
Yahtzee's funny, but anyone who takes his reviews as anything but a joke...
They deserve nothing but ire.

He's losing it, so he needs to go troll some Nitendo Fanboys and then have another mailbag episode.
Honestly, it might be less funny because we're(as a community) getting used to his fire that we stopped giving a sh*t whether he likes the games we likes (which is almost never(Portal)) or not.

He's a comedian foremost and a critic secondly. He's definitely not telling you whether you should or shouldn't buy a game, if he did you'd only have a handful of games in your library.aquaman839 said:
This pretty well sums it up. The accent, the uterly informal tone of the reiviews, the gutbustingly humor, and the silly animation style all appeal to that little IMP in all of us who cries out as we play games that we know we should rag on but are to destracted to.aquaman839 said:
Yet another fine point. In a world where reviewers often give shit the covited 10/10 it is refreshing to listen to someone rant about all the things that are truly bad about a game. And at the end of the day, his reviews are honest and from the heart and full of truly "Crap Your Pants Funny" lines and spicy curses.Mr.K. said:
True, it is also yellow and this seems to draw us in even though there are few instances where yellow is a god color. Perhaps it's the fact that it's unique.PureChaos said:
And dispite what he may want us to think, his reviews really are funny, constructive, intelligent and informative.
At the end of the day (again), we love him because he is doing something differently, which hasn't been done in a LLLLLOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG time in the world of video game reviews.
He's not afraid to point out the flaws of a game that other people ignore. Like God of War 3. I love that game to death, but his comments about how the game is an example of "too much variety" is true! I mean seriously, who actually uses ALL the weapons in that game? I only use the Hermes shoes when I have to.
Sure, he's funny, but he has too much of an emo atitude in relation to games: "I hate this, I hate that!". He should learn to respect other peoples ideas about the game and be less exclusive and more acceptive (<-did I write this well? XD) about other games.
PS: Besides, Daniel Floyd's group on ExtraCredits is much funnier.

You'll notice that Yahtzee often says, after clobbering a game, such as S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear Sky review, "But it's actually good and I like it."
I like that he gives objective reviews even on games that he likes, so that we know his opinion and we know the actual standing of the game in comparison to others.
But honestly, I could analyze all day, but... It's fast paced, straight to the point, stimulating and keeps our attention. It's probably that more than anything.

Because Critics look beyond the 'Hollywood' shine of graphics and mechanics for the newlyborn. He looks at the things that make it new at tries if it actually works well. If it's not new he'll punish the makers for looking it like a copy of something else.
Yes, but you wrote 'write' wrong. (try saying that three times fast.)Life_Is_A_Mess said:
He reminds me a lot of Charlie Brooker. And I LOVE Charlie Brooker. They have the same cynical and unimpressed way of talking about things, except Yahtzee speaks faster. A reason why I love him. Plus the images he uses are amusing.
