Or perhaps they acknowledge him as a comedian first, and reviewer second?haruvister said:Let's face it, Yahtzee's right about Uncharted 2 - it's awful pretty but awful average. People might say they don't take Yahtzee's reviews seriously, but I fancy they're just being a wee bit precious.
He said that it was all of those things (with the possible exception of sandboxy, as it's definitely linear), in addition to "every other catch phrase from the game review-o-meter". It's just not very original or groundbreaking.lwm3398 said:Damn. You know, my friend told me it was a great game, all cinematic and adventurous and sandbox-y... I was just gonna wait for a little confirmation.
Well, it seems I've saved sixty dollars.
Portal. Ha!

There's nothing precious about it. Any man that hates just about everything will have a hard time being taken seriously by anyone.
[sub]And I'm not saying I don't like Yahtzee. I'm saying that he makes his reviews funny, and therefore, tries to focus on the negatives of a game. He said it himself in his BioShock review.[/sub]
As for me: I really liked Uncharted 2. It didn't really bring anything new to the table, but name me a game from the past 3 years that has.
That day has game and went my friend. All the developers have all gone there seperate way, they made such games as Grim Fandango, Balduars gate series, Psychonauts. They all had great story to them all and all fun in their own way!Eclectic Dreck said:There will be a day eventually when people who tell good stories will successfuly interact with people who make fun games, but thus far such a marriage has generally been unsuccessful.
If Yahtzee likes Dragon Age it'll prove his lack of any actual journalistic integrity. Why? Go back and watch his Mass Effect Review, as far as I can tell, Dragon Age has a lot of the same problems as ME if not MORE in some places. Especially since Yahtzee complains about the abundance of Dialogue in Mass Effect, Dragon Age has MORE dialogue that is presented in a far more labyrinthine manner. I am keeping in mind that Yahtzee IS a comedian, but at least 75% of the people posting on this thread apparently think he presents a valid, biased and well reasoned opinion, which is not the case.Kaiyen said:Yeees and Yahtzee knows that Dragon Age is awesome

For the most part I wrote that before the review was finished. I never buy/not buy a game based on anything Yahtzee says itself. I just like to take the time to rip on this game for being crap.RAND00M said:I´m gonna guess that you're one of those people that take his reviews seriously.stiver said:Man definitely going to skip this.
Good looking games have never been the reason to get it. Bad gameplay is best avoided.
boring concepts.
Chill, man. The reason I put that part in parentheses was because I was trying to let on that I was joking.xxhazyshadowsxx said:And if you noticed, I said: just about everythingPhiMed said:Portal.

Meaning not everything, but the majority.
[sub]Atleast that's what I think you're saying. Your post is quite confusing.[/sub]
So I responded by saying, "Portal. Ha!" as a joke. Then I realized you'd probably get a bug in an uncomfortable orifice at that, so I put the part in parentheses. Apparently the bug got in there anyway.xxhazyshadowsxx said:It didn't really bring anything new to the table, but name me a game from the past 3 years that has.
