Zero Punctuation: Mailbag Showdown

[Nikolita]

Zero Puntuation is the only place ware i can get reviews that are not complete bullshit.
I still remember when FF XII came out when I WAS a FF fanboy, And then 24 hours later I put it in the trash bin. My point being that even fanboys need to under stand that there are limits to what you can let "The Man" get away whith.

I happen to love FFXII. If you didn't like it, then that's your loss. Not everyone liked it. I thought it was great.

But yes, killer reviews. I tune in each week, and my boyfriend (who knows a bit more about games than I do) often agrees with most of what Yahtzee says.

lol did the bad man make you cry?
If a game needs flaming to hell, it'll get flamed to hell, if it deserves praise, it'll get praise.

As I said on my first post: he is acting like one of those childish fanboys he is criticising.

If he hates so much recieving so much hatemail why keep calling for more like a masochist? the review it's done! nice job! You have your opinion and I have mine, it's fine. But If you can't stand those fanboys just delete their mails and don't reply like a little child on a quarrel on the school's playground!

Nononononono, you're completely missing the entire point of these reviews, those comments and of a sharp sword.

The mail wouldn't have pissed me off, it'd have made me laugh, as I'm assuming it did with Yahtzee, now, replying to these ridiculous letters make for comedy, pointing out how daft most of the points they make are.

and you made a funny about my name, well done.

Really.

Must've taken all day to come up with something as witty and well thought out as that.

Yachtzee (?) is an entertainer. By doing this, he entertains a hell of a lot of people. I can understand him not wanting to step down and let a bunch of ADD riddled 12 year olds annoy him without recourse.

If you don't like the humor, go somewhere else. Internet forums aren't the place for mature discussion, that much we know.

Frankly, I prefer the humor from his old reviews to the "let's behave like a troll" kind of humour.

Hi,

English is not my native language.
Did he say he was white enough to affort all three consoles?

 

[144_v1legacy]

Yes. Yes he did say he was white enough to afford all three.
Though I feel as though Asians could be included in that racial slur as well with ample ease.

He said 'afford', but yes. He did. And is.

Meh, as someone who tried to defend the game from Yahtzee's review a bit back, I can say that I found this genuinely hilarious.

I thought it was really, really smart to not attack the fan base in general, to respond to specific emails, etc. I felt more like I was on a Comedy Central Roast of _____ as opposed to feeling like I was under attack.

That's important because Yahtzee was able to answer criticisms without alienating his own fan base---though heaven knows if he really wants us around anyway!

 

[pacee21]

epic grammar naziism and a fucking hilarious unreview to boot!

what more can you ask for!

maybe stop being a butthurted reviewer after 3 reviews of trolling and calling for more hatemail instead of letting it die?

im not sure whether that reply means you liked or detested the review. As you call me a butthurted reviewer for posting that i like the review

^Yeah that's a keylogger, don't click it. Seriously. Don't. It'll log every password you and your entire family have used for the last 10 years.

Keep it up, Ben. You rock.

On the bright side, you seem to be more literate that 90% of the fanboys Yahtzee had to deal with.

 

[deepthought]

brilliant- videos like this are why wed is my favorite day (after saturday, and sunday... and friday evenings)

 

[Kross]

Wait, why is everyone calling this a review? What is he reviewing?

Still lots of fun.

I believe he's reviewing you.

I agree with the people who said things similar to this for the most part. SSBB was awesome for me, but I still laughed my ass off at Yahtzee's review. My point still stands though. If he's going to do things like this anymore, I might just leave. I come here to find out whether a game is ok or not and laugh. I DON'T come here to listen to him complain (or whatever he does in this one) about hate mail. Only one of my wants will be satisfied then. What I'm saying is this:

The point of these videos originally was to review games and make people laugh. By throwing in this video he has added this one ingredient to the great stew and almost turned it into shit stew. One more of these and Zero Punctuation will no longer have its original greatness.

Has he even done a DS game review yet?

 

[thisisyournamenow]

well done yahtzee one of use LOVE YOU

 

[RussDCA]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA..... FUCK YEAH!

Now THIS is what I call journalism. I haven't pissed myself laughing like this for a very long time. You sir are a fucking genius!!!

Love of love, FuZion.
