Aw man, I got probed for my comment in this thread, that didnt sound right... I figured that could be a "cool" nickname for probation... I dont see it catching on.
Yeah I don't see many similarities at all
Besides with the amount of people in the world, reviewers and the like, whenever someone has got an original idea, you can be certain someone else would have thought of something similar.

Well sure there are similarities, but as people have pointed out, everyone has inspiration. And you can have multiple flavours of the same things, i mean no one complains that one review magazine ripped off another (Writing a review on paper, who ever thought up such a thing!), so i see no reason to call Yahtzee a copycat for using the same medium and similar style. I'd also call him "fairly" original for developing his own style, which i've personally not really seen elsewhere.
But yeah at the end of the day, who cares? It's like ZOMG the PS3 copied the 360, which copied the Gamecube which copied the PSX which copied the SNES which copied the Megadrive which copied my calculator!!! Thus this proves my calculator is the ultimate gaming machine.
As for whether i actually accept Yahtzees opinion with him comedy. Yes and no.
It depends on the genre of game. I've always liked jRPGs and MMO's. He hates them both, and doesn't pretend otherwise. And him not liking it doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game at all, as he regularly points out, he tries to merit the game from the casual gamer point of view, and gives his own personal dislikes and likes. You then have to figure out if what you like coincides with what he likes. That said even if it doesn't, it doesn't necessarily matter, as the more Yahtzee tells me a jRPG is shit, the more i want to give it a go usually, as what he dislikes i like.
As long as you don't just require a "it's 8/10 buy! BUY! BUT EEETTT!", then you should be able to find his reviews helpful as well as funny in my opinion. If you are however the kind of person i mentioned above, you're probably not intelligent enough to get half the jokes he makes anyway.

Oh, definitely... somehow I also get the feeling he is just trying to get people to watch his videos.WrongSprite said:
Uh, and Yahzee is by far the better one of the two and his visuals are hilarious...RedMenace said:
Sorry mate - you are mistaken.
Both their tone and presentation are distinctly different.
The only similarity is that they may both fall into the category of "rant," and that is about as fair as saying that DBZ copied sailor moon because they are both Japanese animation.

There is absolutely no chance i took that sentence the wrong way, i swear.Jim Grim said:
OT: although yahtzees reviews in terms of whether or not a game is good is questionable, the comedy is quite original from what ive seen. I have seen many reviewers try to makes jokes at a game to death, but something about his style was new to me at the time
off topic again: his comedy is feeling a little less original due to some recycled jokes, but i love it all the same.
That's funny, I thought that's what he always did. And being a critic, isn't his JOB to nitpick? A review that tells you how shiny everything is without telling you about the flaws isn't a useful review. And he does mention good things now and then....you just have to listen for them, because they go by so much quicker! And maybe if there were some decent games to review....ANTI-SANTA said:
