Did you actually watch the part of the review where he said that he decided he'd review a game he actually likes?

You're an idiot. Just thought you might like that information. Could prove useful later in your life.

Your wife (?) must be ashamed of you because you did not understand Shadow of the Colossus on the same level that I did.

My wife (!) can't play Shadow of the Colossus yet.

Hey, I agree that Shadow of the Colossus is a great game.
But do you really feel the need to defend a review of a 5 year old game that got more praise than Mother Teresa?

Because it feels like dismissing the current new games in favor of reviewing an old game, which he has already praised ad nauseum, is phoning it in more than usual.

Next week he will explain to us the mechanics of HalfLife 1 and tell us why it was such a great game. I, for one, can't wait to see what great jokes he makes about how the final boss is a baby you kill while jumping on a trampoline.

Now, I'm not saying that he is doing a shit job, necessarily, but I am saying that the job is shit.
And yes, I find his stance on relationships to be ridiculous and worthy of quite a few laughs. Becoming celibate after one bad relationship makes as much sense to me as online dating by matching otherkin souls.

"lolol ur just jelos!" is literally elementary-school level dialogue

5 For Caminante. Seriously man, I missed your jokes.

I'm jealous. He gets paid to bitch about games and have his friends do a bunch of super easy animations for him. He probably spends more time playing videogames than working. Plus he has creepy hot girls in Canada writing horrible songs about him. ITS THE AMERICAN DREAM. AND HES IN AUSTRALIA.

Yeah, I wish I could talk on the Internet.

I only dislike things because I'm jealous.

I've got to agree with La Loco here. Yahtzee was one of the most beloved things on poe until someone decided that he hit the deadline for when things on the internet become old. Nothing's really changed, why have all the opinions?

He is still be far the most entertaining reviewer around, and bonus points for giving his honest opinion about things made or marketed by Peter Molyneux, instead of saying it's the best thing in gaming since the last thing that doucebag has made like everyone else in the industry.

While I personally prefer the folks at Whiskey Media for reviews with jokes, I gotta say I still like the occasional Yahtzee. What most folks don't understand is that they are not owed anything. You, whoever you are, are being entertained, for free, by a dude who was lucky enough to make a living doing something he enjoys doing. Complaining about Yahtzee complaining about games is like being Yahtzee complaining about games. The reason you don't like it is because it reflects your own imperfections, and that drives you into an internet fueled frothing rage where you compare impotence on the table to see which one of you can complain more about shit that never mattered. Blah blah, you'll sputter in return. Blah blah blah blah. I don't owe you anything either.

Some of you kids do nothing but complain on this site. What are the good things in your lives? Why don't you do those instead? Honestly. The internet isn't making you folks happy, so try something else.

And you complain about the people who complain about Yahtzee.

Thus the unending enigma of the internet. That said, I'm still right.

Poll: Do you find Dilbert funny?Rylot, 11 Aug 2010 9:53 pm

You pretty much nailed it. Also, I wish I had saved my stars for this. There's something about The Escapist that makes it suck. Hard.

He likes Silent Hill 2 because he irrationally favors games that are either well-written or unique and artsy. He doesn't really seem to consider gameplay all that much.

But yeah, just because I disagree with him often doesn't make him any less funny.

He doesn't know shit about videogames, lets be honest here. For example he doesn't like Planescape: Torment.

This is why he refers to himself as a critic rather than a reviewer. While I share his preference for unique and artsy fartsy games, most people prefer the grind/hack/twitch sorts and he can't be bothered to take that into consideration.

While I like Starcraft 2, Yahtzee would hate it and that is okay with me.

Silent Hill 2 is a fantastic game. Every game in existance doesn't need to be a FPS or RTS or whatever nerdy trend is popular these days.

In the same post that I said I hated Silent Hill 2, I said I like Shadow of the Colossus, so obv. that's not the problem, dingus.

Sorry I called you a dingus.

Same here. Although I think I'll need to dust off the PS2 and buy a used copy of this thing.
