It just kind of sux he picked the dumb mails and made fun of them so it looks like he knows what hes talking about. But it was funny; the yatzhee fanbois enjoyed. What else does he? To do a real review for once? No need to do that, he's popular doing entertainment, nothing else.
Zero Punctuation: Mailbag Showdown
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
There's way too many comments to read personally. I must say that I was impressed to see you hold up the old Commodore 64 keyboard(the brains of the system) in your hands. I've had a C64 since I was little and I still think it was one of the most impressive console/pre-computers of its time. I do miss that the company was too slow to beat the competition. I wonder how much better a Commodore world would be...
I don't understand why the argument over a review that came out two weeks ago is still going on, let alone in this thread. The original thread is still alive; go post your opinion on the matter there, if you must.
This week's video is not about Brawl, but rather all the angry fanboys who responded to Yahtzee after the review for Brawl. Granted, I'm sure some of the fanboys had valid reasons for why the review wasn't up to par, which weren't included in the video, and another rant about hatemail is not the review we all wanted to see, but it was funny and will bide us over until next week. At the very least, this week's episode was filler. If you didn't like it, treat it as such. If you have an opinion on the game itself, post in the other massive thread.
And with that I'm off to bed. Night folks.

*sigh* Why is it that intelligent people mostly get praise from idiots?
*edit*
THIS ISN'T A REVIEW.

I'm glad Ben did this. Apparently, it seems like only Nintendo fanboys are the ones who can't take criticism, in any shape or form. The fact alone that he had to do this is pretty great for me, so now they can all go cry in their corners while they stroke their genitals with their Wii-mote. <-- HA!
Also, why do people sign up just to say "first" "second" and so on? Either their idiots or they seriously love creating tons of gmail accounts to get banned over and over again.
And yes, I did register just to say that.

Because they have no redeeming talents in life, thus they resort to something pathetic like that so they can feel like they've accomplished something in their life.

I am replying way to late because I enjoy watching these not being the first one to comment on them. This is my first thread post to one of Yahtzee's reviews and I loved every minute of it. My friends who are SSB nuts hated this game because it is not tournament playable; and if anyone comments on this 1st I am flattered and 2nd the best player in the world for SSB and SSBM said this, and yes he said it at the first tourney in Chi. Even though I hated it when he reviewed Mass Effect I didn't cry (just died a little inside) he just didn't like a game I enjoyed. This man made me play psychonauts so I am allowed to forgive him for that. Brilliant review. I hope more kids send these when you say everything wrong with GTA IV: Yes, I am sorry I haven't played it yet so I don't know its amazing yet. =p
keep doing your thing Yahtzee.

What interests me is how all of us are willing to go on and on about a game that is really just all about fan service, and not even sexy fan service. I'm starting to just think I want to laugh at all of you, on both sides, perhaps even Yahtzee himself. Although in retrospect I think that was what he was going for.
Yahtzee! I resent that! I work at game spot and I don't put everyone's balls in my mouth! Perhaps that's what I'm doing wrong... anyway, nice showdown. I liked how you corrected all the grammar in the emails. 'Twas a nice touch.
Unfortunately, I doubt there will be less wank anytime soon.

I enjoyed this week's video. I disagreed on some of his points about the game, but I enjoyed several of his jokes (many, if not all, have some truth to it). Still, I find it funny how so many people can take offense to a game review. I mean, really. I enjoy the game, and if a certain reviewer doesn't think it's so good, that's fine with me. It's nice to see a review once in a while that doesn't glorify a game like all other reviews about a game. I like thinking. ^_^
Keep up the good work, can't wait for the GTAIV review I know several of your fans are waiting for!

And here I thought that Yahtzee never pays attention to the hatemail he receives for urinating on someone else's "gem of a game". It's like he said when he first reviewed the game: "Reviewing SSBB is pointless because chances are you already know if you like it or not". I like the game fine but I enjoyed Yahtzee ripping it apart just the same.
I think this one was pretty fun. And I am an SSBB fan. Can't say I agree with a lot of SSBB haters on the board here, but Yahtzee's criticisms in the review were valid enough for me.
Anyway, yeah, fun. I rather liked how Yahtzee called us out on the whole "defending Nintendo" thing. God works in mysterious ways, yes.
Heh. And yeah, my mum will only buy one console. Hehe. Man, loved that part since it was rather true. Guess forgetting that might be a sign of fanboyism, but hopefully not by much, since well, I sometimes forget that.

It made me giggle, nice one, but I was expecting GTA 4 and this more like a SIDE comment.
PS: If anyone read my previous post, hate comments towards brawl are nearly double the ones even SUPPORTING brawl. Love comments are about half the supporting ones.
