Definitely the former, but since you brought this up I'd like to point out that I hated Nintendo's strategy and fans for much longer than I liked ZP. I realize that opinions are subjective and in the realm of "I like it" there is no right or wrong, but that doesn't stop me from thinking the fans are idiots and that most of what Yahtzee says is made of gold plated truth.EnoRed said:They should perhaps take a look at their own behaviour and see that they're essentially doing the exact same thing; latching onto a critic's opinion because they feel it makes their own point of view somehow more valid. These people completely miss the point and turn into fanboys themselves by imposing their own opinions as if they are fact.
What's more pathetic: blindly following Nintendo and accepting whatever games they toss our way or giving a virtual handjob to some random guy out of the millions on the internet?
To answer your question, blindly following Nintendo. At least I like Yahtzee.EnoRed said:I think more people should consider listening to what Yahtzee said about not getting upset over the fact a reviewer doesn't like a game that you do, as you shouldn't let their opinions dictate your own. That includes the people who suddenly came out the woodwork after the SSBB review going "LOLLOLOL STOOPID NINTY FANBOIS I TOLD EM IT WASNT GOOD IT SUX AND UR ALL STUPID".

Yeah...it doesn't even really seem fair. Making fun of internet fanboys and hate-mailers is too easy; he should really try something more challenging like killing kittens or clubbing baby seals. Or at least something that Maddox hasn't already perfected.tiredinnuendo said:Eh...
I understand the purpose of this review. It takes awhile to play GTA4 and as such you need to put up something else to keep the masses placated. That said, reading over terrible fanmail and making fun of your "fans" is a theme that's somewhat overused and as far as "Yahtzee" humor goes I'd say it falls a bit short.
But what can you do?

WOW! IT'S GOT A FEATURE THAT OTHER FIGHTING GAMES HAVE HAD FOR A GODDAMN GENERATION! THAT MAKES IT WIN!Dushan said:Im sorry but I have to bring up the still NEVER MENTIOND, online gameplay. SSBB is the first game in the series where you dont actually need to have friends! You can join random fights online and just smash your little heart out. That is the main thing im annoyed at not seeing in this review ever, there are other things but this is the biggest.
