Agreed - I've been following ZP pretty much from the start and the last few months haven't been up to standard - or maybe I'm just becoming decensitised?

I was amused by the Nintendo fanboy bait though ;)

same. he used to be very funny, it kinda sucks how he's gotten repetitive and a cliche of himself.

Hmph, it had to happen at some point. If you base your job around hating popular things, your followers will end up doing the same thing. Then once you yourself become popular, they will begin to hate you.

The ultimate irony is that this is probably exactly what Yahtzee wants.

A bit funnier than usual, but more importantly, I love it when people wail on reminiscence in gaming.

To all the people inevitably defending Ocarina of Time: Stop being dickbags.

EDIT: The constant, and usual stream of people saying ZMG YATZEY U NOT FUNAY NEMORE has, for this episode only, gone from frustrating to hilarious because YOU'RE PROOVING THE EXACT POINT HE'S MENTIONING IN THE FUCKING VIDEO.

He isn't getting less funny, you twats have all just ruined it by quoting him five thousand times a day and thus becoming too used to his style. I, however, haven't been going around quoting him at every waking moment as if he was Monty Python, Maddox, Chapelle or anyone else nearly-ruined by constant quotation, and thus I still find him hilarious.

None to blame but yourselves.

i don't hate him, i hate how it seems like recently he's being hating stuff and coming up with his standard insult without having any... i don't know passion. and no i don't quote him, quoting in general is lame ie. the simpsons

WTF have you guys done to these videos? The last three, I haven't been able to download & convert for my iPod making me a walking Escapist & Zero Punctuation advert.

And.. I really don't think an advert should more than double the video length.

And... Isn't it about time we had 640x480 videos?

..... Also... Yahtzee. You still rock though :-D

I know - let's make controversial comments for the sake of it...Come on Yahtzee you used to be better than this.

Everyone knows Mario Sunshine was TERRIBLE! And as for insulting Ocarina of Time, the greatest game ever in the Zelda series...nonsense.

Sonic 2, far better than ANY 3D sonic game ever made since.

Retro games are still awesome!

I agree with Yahtzee, I'm sick of nostalgia and have been forever. I can blame Nintendo (It's all they ever do!) and its fans for that.

in case you all haven't noticed
Yahtzee was being sarcastic when he said Twilight princess and sunshine were better then OoT and 64...

The hitler comment afterwards was supposed to prove that....

sheesh...

does yahtzee need a sarcasm sign???
apparently
It's funny that people don't notice that right away. First I thought that he is serious but the Hitler commment proved it as you said but in the credits he said that he doesn't think that Hitler was right so maybe he was serious (of course he wasn't) with Mario Sunshine and Zelda Twilight Princess. Well who cares?
So, you mean his whole review is false then, and was only being sarcastic when he said Bionic Commando Rearmed was unfun?

I would have thought he'd have taken this opportunity to bitchslap Lucasarts back to the stone age with The Force unleashed.
He has next week to do that...

Well... not bad. I actually agree that the controls of the arm in Bionic Commando could have been more intuitive.
Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed BCR from start to finish, even though, or perhaps because, it's just way more difficult than any AAA title released in the last few years. Yes, it gets frustrating, but on the other hand you actually get a feeling of achievement when you've beaten one particularly hard part etc... unlike many other current games that let you save everywhere and anywhere, refill your health if you cry long enough and so on.
The difficulty of BCR shouldn't become the norm, but I doubt that's going to happen, and in the current world of gaming, BCR was really refreshing for me.
I know nothing about Castle Crashers, so I'll skip that one ;)

I've been watching Yahtzee since he was a little dot on youtube. Hell, I used to read his reviews when he was just "that guy who makes the horror adventure games." And while I don't laugh at ZP anymore, I stopped laughing after the fourth episode. It's still entertaining, and I find his opinions are similar to mine and that's what counts. If it's not funny to you then I'm sorry, but I don't think complaining about it will do any good. Go find a new thing to watch on wednesdays.

Meh. Yahtzee, you seriously need a vacation, man. I hate to say it, but ZP is going downhill for the last few episodes. I didn't even smile at this one.

It's not about quoting Yahtzee to death, or getting used to his jokes. Hell, I was watching the series from the very first episodes, and it was awesome until a few weeks earlier. ZP had it's ups and downs, but this one is different. It's getting shallow and repetitive, with Yahtzee doing nothing but playing Captain Obvious and hating at the wrong direction. That Hitler "joke" wasn't funny at all, for example. Forced, bumpy and semi-boring, ZP is running out of juice fast.

You need a refill, Yahtzee, go have a brake for a few weeks, seriously. Yeah, we will miss the show for the time being, but it will be all for the better, and we'll get some good 'ol ZP power when you get back.

Did anyone else catch the references to American History X? haha...
I think Yahtzee just saw that movie and liked it, what with all the hitler comments.

Every thread brings the haters, and the fanboys. And the people inbetween are lost in the cracks.
