NoNoNo why will nobody understand. His name is not "not important" his name is Notem Portant.SlightlyEvil said:As funny as the name "Jeffrey Cuddletrousers" is, I'm still a fan of calling the player character "Not Important." After all, that's what he said his name is.
Yeah, the whole video I was thinking, "Show me how this is worse than GTA, and I'll take this seriously." From what I remember, when they did get to justifying some games, they never brought up games like GTA or Saints Row, and if they did, they sure didn't put a lot of thought into the explanation. It left me really disappointed that they just completely sidestepped bringing up games that would be harder to justify and ended up only mentioning the ones no one was comparing Hatred to in the first place.Nurb said:Watching Extra Credits make itself look rediculous by saying this game was totally different and wrong to exist than the violent games THEY liked to play was also disappointing to see.

Yes. You should start being more like [small]erttheking said:Maybe the day we can stop focusing on proving how we're "The Good Guy" maybe we can move on and evolve as a species. But no, every time a debate comes up we need to prove how we're Jesus and the other guy is Satan.
At the end of the day, the only real casualty in this controversy was the murdering of the "SJW" word meaning. Now it only means "the whining side". Social justice or injustice is no longer required (as there were no social injustice accusations in the Hatred controversy).Nurb said:It WAS a tad frustrating that the SJWs had more effect on changing the standing of this game on steam than the conservitives and soccer moms that usually yell about this sort of thing though.

Yahtzee's humor always makes things better, however.
Extra Credits thing was more based on how the game marketed itself and it marketed itself as a deer hunter game where the deer are replaced by people and graphic executions are the name of the game. The game was marketed for full offensive effect and was hoping to be a hit based on people buying it to express how they wouldn't be told they couldn't buy something and it worked ok.Nurb said:It WAS a tad frustrating that the SJWs had more effect on changing the standing of this game on steam than the conservitives and soccer moms that usually yell about this sort of thing though.

They did call the game itself sadistic in the video, it wasnt wholly concerned with the marketing campaign. And either way, it is extremely silly to react to a game you believe is attempting to whip up a moral panic to achieve more visibility and get sales by making a video of it wherin you contribute to the moral panic around it. It ultimately doesnt hurt anyone regardless of its quality and content, the best response if you find it that objectionable is to ignore it. I doubt they convinced anyone who was going to buy it to not get itWorgen said:Extra Credits thing was more based on how the game marketed itself and it marketed itself as a deer hunter game where the deer are replaced by people and graphic executions are the name of the game.

it was the "gives less of a toss than a quadriplegic shot putter" that got me blowing coffee out of my nose.JagerBombastic said:"More holes then the average clarinet" Every episode Yahtzee says something that should just immediately be put on a t-shirt.
The issue though is sometimes innocents get caught in the non-existent fire and get legitimate burns.Sir Thomas Sean Connery said:Yeah, it really is just controversy for it's own sake. Which can be fun. It's nice to see people running around like the world is on fire.
