Notice how I didn't even defended the review. Yes it was shallow and not one of Yathzee's best works (on of the worst actually, in my opinion). I agree with his points about the review, but his arguments about it AND Saints Row are based on subjective opinions which he tries to pass out as facts. I highly dislike these types of arguments so I called him on it.Chicago Ted said:SOMEONE HAS ARRIVED THAT DISAGREES WITH THE REVIEW?! HE MUST BE A FANBOY! HEY EVERYONE LOOK A FANBOY!

And I won't even bother going into your affirmations (it IS a matter of opinion, a very poorly justified opinion in your case) besides the glitchy part. You do know it's purposefully glitchy? Because they're taking down a simulation? And creating these glitches? Let me guess, it gets glitchier closer to Rift Events [rolls eyes].
Seriously, posts like this are by far the least valued posts on this thread. More people have come on here to make posts decrying fans and saying how up in arms the fans will get over this video then people actually responding to the video in either a positive or negative aspect. Then you find the first post that has some valid criticism to the content of the video, and suddenly you attempt to blur it out by attacking the person behind the post, shooting off uncalled for insults, and then dismissing the point of it entirely. There's a word for that type of attitude you know.
Fanboy.
Take off the blinders that are knee jerk reactions, and actually reread what was stated in that post. Then please go and address some of the points, and discuss what you disagree with him on. Otherwise you come off far, far worse than what else is being said around you.
I have to agree with you here Layton, this video did seem pretty shallow to me as well, though you put it better than I could so I won't really reiterate much of what I agree with you on. I will say though that I would have liked to here what specific points in the game he felt were the ones that stood out poorly, but it's pretty vague when it comes down to it.ProfessorLayton said:Snip
I agree with him that I was disappointed on the heists and how to plan them, some additional steps would have been nice, and perhaps ways of helping improve your potential heist members stats outside of the actual heists themselves would have been good (Say you go robbing liquor stores with them or something), but I'm not sure what exactly he's going on about when he says they fail you for no reason and such. I mean if you got in the wrong car when trying to leave or something like that, you probably failed because you weren't in the vehicle with the loot and would have left it behind or something like that. Same with not following the route and the like. I mean, how often do you watch a heist movie or something where the entire thing is based off of improvising the next step. Almost all start with a carefully laid out plan that is then attempted to be executed as close as possible.
Also, going back and watching his GTA IV review, I find it funny that he comments on other videos about companies trying to squeeze the most of what they can out of game franchises until they're dead, but then, years later, goes on and attempts to sell the exact same joke again and again about the numbering in games. But I really went back more to compare what he said now to what he said then, and I find it funny how he's complaining about some of the opposites back then. Such as when he criticized GTA IV for being bogged down by tutorials, but then flips on GTA V for not holding your hand enough when given new stuff to do.
Third, I never called him a fanboy. I called him a scout. As in, the guys who present misinformation by the way of an unsubstantial edgy opinion, and unnintencionally flare the discussion to REAL fanboys to come and trash the place. Sometimes it works, others doesn't. But he's no fanboy. He's a scout of fanboy rage. Different. Very different.
