You really are missing the point I'm making.renard said:
Brawl is being billed by all the fanboys as "one of the ultimate party games" so, you take it round a friends house, and the hugely hyped advertised characters are locked.
You've then got to play a stupid ammount of times to unlock 'em.
It's like Bishi Bashi Special going "yeah, there's a load of games, but you're stuck with the truck driving game for half an hour until you unlock 'em".
The unlock system in brawl is a bag of crap, and I actually feel sorry for my friend who had to sit down and unlock the fucking thing just so he felt he was getting his money's worth.
Yahtzee is the shit! It's awsome that he didn't just say "fuck you" but instead took the time to logically respond to the hate mail. That's classy right there.
Because without unlockable stuff, the game would be pretty shallow, plus it gives the person an aim to go for.s0denone said:
I wonder how many of the people who say that they don't like this (sort of) review are people who have sent an email to Yahtzee in the past. It might be an interesting statistic.
I am disappointed with your review of my favourite game. You should give it a higher score because I like it. Why are you so harsh to my favourite game. What is wrong with Nintendo? Why do you dislike the fact that they have been milking the same franchise for the past 10 years.
I think you (Yahtzee), knew what you was getting yourself into when you made your review on Smash Bros Brawl... and for that, I love you. I think that every person who comes onto this forum to complain about your inabilities as a game critic really needs to reflect on their own lives a little and come to understand that a single man's opinions on a game are not that of a deity. If you disagree with what a person is saying, then you are usually better off not trying to sway that person's opinion, but instead accept that one person has an opposing view.
Criticism should only shape character, not define it completely... in other words, try and look at something from another viewpoint all the time.
I consider this a great first post on this forum. Hello Everyone.

SSB strikes again. It's as if he does, indeed, use his traffic figures to measure his worth as a human being. Otherwise we wouldn't be here headed for another 1000 post nightmare as all the fan boys come out AGAIN to tell us how anyone who doesn't enjoy the game is retarded.
I don't normally post comments, but this episode rocked way too much. Someone needed to take the fan boys down a peg, and you handled it better than anyone else.
First they criticize you for not being pissy enough in "Psychonauts," and then they criticize you for being too pissy in "Super Smash Bros Brawl." Just say whatever you want about anything - you do it better than everyone else anyway.

Hell yah. (to all SSBB bitchers) why the hell is everyone getting all mad about this. It's a REVIEW. this the way he thinks about it. If you like SSBB then play it. I play SSBB and i get his point. I don't like the story or the shit load of time it takes to get some of the better things. I also hate alot of other thing about the game, but by now u have moved on to your next hate mail and won't give it a second thought. You guys need to suck it up and grow some balls. Yahtzee thank you for not letting these bitches get the better of you. keep up the good work.
I got that from your first post as well, just didn't feel like commenting on it, instead I pointed out the (in my opinion) preposterous one-liner.Drake Flare said:
I get where you are coming from, and I'll be damned if I don't use a lot of time infront of my xbox playing Smackdown vs. Raw, Madden, Mass Effect, GTA IV - or whatever - and do so for hours. Like I played Diablo and Diablo 2 and Warcraft 2 and Starcraft on the computer.
But people are entitled their own opinions, so screw what people think, instead you just play what you want to play, and they play what they want to play.
I mean, I hate 'The Sims', but that has still become one of the most successfull games ever, it got a lot of 'chicks' to spend time on their computer, doing literally nothing besides created a family and a house, and when the game really 'started' they quit the game, and started over. How the hell is there any sense in that? It's complete and utter garbage, isn't it? Apparently not.
People like games that you/me/your mate doesn't like, and in turn, you like games they don't.
Fanboys are all twats.
Oh, and this argument should have ended a week and a half ago. On the 1000+ post SSBB forum. Let's not repeat the same arguments over and over and over AND OVER AD NAUSEUM UNTIL I'M FORCED TO WRITE IN CAPITAL LTRS & UZ WEB SALNG, SOMTHING I GENERLY DONT DO!Kaos Incarnate said:
Lol, its the way you deal with them. Also, when people say you pick out all the bad things, thats the whole hihglight.
Its nice to see people who think that just because they can share their opinion should put in their place. Hooray for Yahtzee.
Eh may I point out the fact that some may be from Europe and have hyped up a game they don't even have yet.Derek147900 said:
