I'm just saying you ***** alot for a person who seems to dislike his videos yet comes back and comments once and awhile, and possibly will be back next week to entertain us with another one of his "I hate yahtzee, omg he's a liberal fascist *salutes flag*" rants.liberalfascism said:
I don't think the numbers of comments are declineing, they all seem to get atleast above 100 comments, unfortuantly for you he still is popular.
He has a t.v spot on G4, he was invited to to make a video for GDC, got an invite to check out valve studios, his youtube videos have thousands of hits, and every week his videos get posted on popular gameing website's like Kotaku.
I understand you got "butthurt" when he made fun of the Americans but you need to grow up.
To those commenting on how young Yahtzee looks, get this: he's 24.
As a fellow writer who is both older (27) and an inferior scribe, that kind of depresses me.

Good review as always, but allow me for just a moment to go all fangirlish and say "YOU'RE SO CUTE!"
I was a bit surprised when you switched to webcam, you've never done that before but It was cool. It kind of gave me the sense that we were in the same room and you were talking to me. Keep up the good work!
Yahtzee refers to Asians and Blacks and Latinos as minorities in this review.
That's pretty curious from a frame-of-reference point a view. Last time I checked world population figures Asians are not a minority on Earth.
But they are if you're a British born White Boy raised to think of them as minorities. And no, it is not "IRONIC" that you decry racism while depicting Asians as having slit eyes. The word is "HYPOCRITICAL".

Oooh Yahtzee, you handsome devil!!
Yannow I have to thank you for doing all these reviews...me and my housemates look forward to every Wednesday to watch these and seeing actually you was startling...we often have your quips as our screennames...oh, and we live in WINCHESTER and can't walk past the cathedral without imagining someone's arse jammed on top of the left spire.

Best review so far and getting better with all this new stuff you are adding to it.
BTW, where is your hat and why do you look different from that pic you had on the valve thing? (obviously that might be your room mate pretending to be you, no ofense.)^_^

Really one of the best reviews to date, you still manage to surprise. Thumbs up and hat off to you.
On another note, I can't help but notice how some comment authors have not been paying attention to previous editions of ZP.
"Now we have a face to paste on this awesomeness", "I imagined you to be a lot older, the voice make you sound around 35", "I had imagined yahtzee as older", "OMG Yatzee's pretty young and accually pretty hot", "Dude I thought you were, like, 50", "I thought he said portal was [perfect]", etc.

Hmm, let's see. A half-dozen or so new people who claim they "just registered now to tell Yahtzee how awesome he is" and another half-dozen first-time posters who attack Yahtzee's left-wing jibes, bash the console, and claim "this was the first ZP I haven't laughed at"... nope, nothing unusual here.
You guys have the fourth wall wrong. Breaking the fourth wall is when a character directly addresses or acknowledges the presence of an audience, as opposed to not being aware of the audience at all. Like when Malcolm turns to the camera in Malcolm in the Middle. Yahtzee has always addressed us, the audience, so the fourth wall was broken from the very beginning.
This is not the first time Yahtzee has shown his face, there are pics of him on his visit to Valve.
As for the review, saying that Uncharted is racist is like saying Mass Effect has explicit sex scenes.

In answer to your question, yes, this game was meant to be a console seller. Though even I would say it's not worth buying the console for and I played this game to death. In terms of your arguement about having a console just to play a few killer apps, well, that can easily be said for PC given how few major releases come each year, but I do respect your choice of platform.Wyatt said:
=============================
Zippy I agree that more crap games are put out on consoles, but if more people played on PC's they'd probably end up there more often. It's all about getting your product out to the most people, in most cases at least. And consoles do have their fair share of complex titles like MGS. No matter what platform you play on though not every game can be a Deus Ex or a Metal Gear, you may be able to argue though that since less games are coming out on PC now that PC games have a higer proportion of good games to crummy games.
Is liberal fascism even possible?
Seems to me comment number increases based on the games popularity. Hence Halo 3 has 4 Million Comments, and this has fewer.
Also we're talking about a 12 hour time frame here. I'm sure it'll hit 200 just like every other review has by this time next week.
Yahtzee doesn't seem particularly left winged to me. Perhaps he's more left winged than right, but so are a lot of people. Commenting that you kill black people all game long as a white person is hardly the main goal of the leftist agenda -- I'm pretty sure O'Reilly could see the same point.
And for someone outside of the US, I'm not taken aback when they criticize the US in some way. No one should expect people of other countries to love their country as much as they do, and especially not when we've had the attitude of, "We don't give a shit about what you think," for the past 8 years. Maybe after China becomes the new world Super Power Australians and Americans can join hands in making sneering comments about the Asian Imperialists.
As far as, "This is the First ZP I haven't laughed at," is concerned, I think that they've actually all been very consistent, and fresh. It's just hard to recapture the brutal awesomeness of, say, the BioShock review -- but there's really nothing wrong with that.
I tune into ZP every week more for witty insight into gaming. Yappy Plastic Dogs, point and click sniper adventure gaming...

I saw a bit of the game played, and I see what he means. I'm not too worried that it didn't push the envelope because not every game needs to. He's being a bit hypocritical, through the fact that he absolutely loved COD4, which revolutionized...what, exactly?
You could say Uncharted basically improved on all the games included in that mashup diagram; it added more free movement to Gears of War, it put better combat in Prince of Persia, and it ran far better than Far Cry.

there is no case to be made that a console is even in the same arena with a PC when it comes to the ammount of 'killer apps' that can be done.
console's get games, and movies thats it, 2 'killer apps' (well if you own a PS3 anyhow if you own a 360 or a WII yur screwed), PC gets games, movies, porn, taxes, E-mail, demos, business apps, sound and video connections (not to mention texting apps), and about a gazillion other things that console's dont. standing a console up against a PC is like straping bottle rockets on a Duck and sending it up against an F-22.
sarcasim aside you really cant compair the two. though they both share games and movies as 'apps' they are two totaly different animals. console's are ment for simple ease of use a PC is anything but. and i dont mean that as an insult to console tards either.
trust me when im trying to get my new Video card to work right with the latest craptastic drivers that have more bugs than a dog ass, or i get a BSOD for no reason, or when i DO buy a game only to find out that it wasnt actualy finished yet but not to worry because there will be 47 patches over the next 8 months that will eventualy fix it (or go the other way and dont patch at all and clame everything in the game that doesnt work was intended to do nothing from the start) i look at consoles as not being all that bad.
