Not really, no. I remember reading a review of a game I already owned and most of the review was just a word-for-word copy & paste from the fucking manual.mcnally86 said:

Hey Yahtzee, I enjoy watching your reviews. But it puzzles me, where do you get your material?
Because after i get up from loss of breath and brain cells lol, this is what I say
(in quotations)"How the hell does he think this stuff up".

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, It's SUPERTROLL!
It doesn't matter though, because you used the shift key didn't you? I can tell because I'M STANDING RIGHT BEHIND YOU WITH MY CHAINSAW AND HOCKEY MASK!! BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAAAAAA!!
Yes, because I haven't suffered a debilitating brain injury [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209144/]. I'm pretty sure this is in fact, still the case; I certainly haven't bought any games in the eager anticipation of hours of drudgery and boredom. I must confess my lack of awareness of the impact of zombie sheep [http://www.blacksheep-themovie.com/] on the games industry, but then I'm not from New Zealand.mcnally86 said:
What? Designers have always tried to influence public opinion, because they need to sell games to make money to eat and clothe themselves and put petrol in their cars. It's called marketing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing].mcnally86 said:
I think his list of very specific complaints shows he palyed it, but you don't care because you're a troll [http://www.trollz.com/home/]. I realise that by replying I'm only feeding you and making you stronger, but I don't care because I'm bored and at the moment I sadly have nothing better to do.mcnally86 said:

Yahtzee is a necessary evil. I wish more game reviewers had the balls to point out that B.S. stinks. I swear when I saw everyone give GTA IV a perfect score I just rooolllled my eyes. Wish I could get on that gravy train, but since I'm not I didn't give it a perfect score.

Ugh. So, people can't enjoy what they enjoy? Subjective personal reviews have to meet your standard of what you like and enjoy?
No, GTA isn't 'perfect', Halo 3 isn't 'perfect', the Sims 2 isn't 'perfect', but this constant moaning about 'oh they gave x a perfect score and I hate x. Therefore, the reviews are wrong' drives me mad.
Maybe one day developers will perfect the perfect game, who's jewel encrusted CD/DVD/Disk of futuric hologram storage will break the old addage 'You can please everyone some of the time, you can please some people all of the time, but you can't please everyone all of the time' and then maybe people will stop bitching about subjective reviews and accusing people of taking bribes. But I doubt it.
*Rant over*
You fanboys make me laugh. Yahtzee makes me laugh even more. Great combination. Oh, I got a little tear in my eye. hehehe... Hooeee...
Lol, no game is perfect, but apparently saying SSBB isn't gets your balls cut off and whats left of you put before the firing squad.
I personally don't care for the game, played it once, found it boring, but thats just my opinion due to my taste in games, but obviously having an opinion can get you killed.
It looks like some of the commenters are seriously considering taking this further then a simple comment from the looks of things, better not piss em off
lol Looking forward to today's one, and the comments to come with it.
To be honest, I think the only reason Yahzee bothered to give posters any attention concering SSBB is to delay the process a bit while he played GTA4 or something.
