EPIC FOR THE WIN!
Posting this to /r/4chan! Upvotes here I come!
Stopped watching years ago when he said the only good part of Amnesia 2 was the story. No way I could take the opinion of anyone who thinks that seriously. Can't believe he's still around.
He has long, LONG lost his appeal to me.
Nt sure if it's necessarily his problem or that we just look for different things in vydia but I don't care for his opinion anymore.
He's not nearly as bad as moviebob though.
All these "reviews that are funnyl" videos sucks.
Fuck the actual product being reviewed, it's all about the reviewer!
Let's use the product as a platform to promote the reviewer unfunny personality and boring inside jokes!
>>340859521
Started decent but went downhill fast. It feels like he lost his interest in games which is understandable
Naming your gotys Bioshock Infinite and Undertale is pretty sad
If you consider them reviews you're a fucking retard.
Otherwise the shtick has grown old on me, though I still enjoy Let's Drown Out.

>>340860320
Undertale was decent.
Bioshock Infinite was absolute garbage, but I don't want to derail this thread too hard.
This shit got boring after 5 episodes, can't fathom how people watch 200.
>>340860014
>No way I could take the opinion of anyone who thinks that seriously.
You're not suppose to you retard he shits on everything for laughs.
I sometimes don't agree with him but I always get why he came to the conclusions he came to.
And he's pretty funny. I like Yahtzee quite a lot.
>>340859521
there's only so much i can take his constant negativity and bickering about the smallest things.
although i have to admit his Sonic Unleashed review is still entertaining to this day
>>340860541
I just watch the reviews of games I like. I don't think anyone watches every single video he makes. It's funny to see him roast the games you like.
>>340860480
>stop
>>340860320
I remember an episode of Let's Drown Out where he dismissed his partner's opinion entirely because he thought B:I wasn't nearly as good as it's hyped up to be. That was a pretty cunty move.
I think it was the same episode where Yahtzee expressed interest in making an in-depth SH2 deconstruction. I kinda want to see what someone who thought B:I had a good story has to say about SH2.
>>340859521
It's entertaining, but I think of him as a reviewer since I take his opinions with a grain of salt.
>>340859521
He only gives praise to games with high reviews even if they're shit or overrated (like Bioshock Infinite and Undertale) which is incredibly boring and predictable.
>>340860646
>I-it's just for laughs
Shame he isn't funny
>>340859521
If you have unwarranted hatred for a certain video game he's your man
His taste in vidya is entirely decided in what Reddit says is cool to like.
Demon's Souls review: "This game sucks, I can't get into it at all"
Every other Souls review once the series became popular on Reddit: "I'm a huge fan of the series, totally into it!"
People feel threatened by his harmless comedy. That alone grants him a pretty good spot in my books. If you want to hear his actual thoughts on games you should watch his Let's Plays with his homosexual boyfriend instead.
Overstayed its welcome just like nearly every review/webcomic/satire site.
>>340860535
Agreed. I can understand liking undertale, even it wasn't really my jam personally.
Bioshock infinite is soulless AAA that doesn't manage to do anything very well.
>>340861115
>t.redditor
>>340861115
In all fairness he notes that it took a lot of time to get into dark souls, time which he didn't really have. He should go back to DeS sometime though, interesting to hear his opinion.
He's trying way too hard to pander to the PC Master Race crowd.
>>340859917
BWWWAAAAAAAAAHHHAAAHAHAHHAAAAHAAAAA!!!
HOLY SHIT NIGGA SEEK HELP!
I usually forget he exists for a month or two and then bingewatch the most recent reviews. Since I only have a 3DS and a shitty PC I can't play most of the games he reviews anyway, but they're still entertaining nonetheless.
>>340859521
Zero Punctuation is water under the bridge. Let's Drown Out is where it's at, but with him moving to America and Gabe to the Outback, who knows what the future holds.
>>340861501
>pander to the PC Master Race
he practically fucking started the PC master race shitWitcher review
>>340861687
He started the PC Master Race as a JOKE about PC players. People took the banner seriously and started waving it around. It's pretty fucking funny.
>>340859521
Still butthurt that he didn't do a proper, in-depth roast of Monster Hunter Tri instead of doing an extremely lazy and lacklustre roast based on only playing up to Great fucking Jaggi.

He didn't practically start it. He did start it. Sarcastically. As a joke about how stupid it is to fight over what platform you play games on.
>>340859521
>Undertale best game 2015
Yeah nah.
>>340859917
Interesting to watch. I don't always agree with him but he makes a lot of good points.
The videos are just about 5 minutes so I watch them as they come out.
>>340859521
i still watch, his last few reviews were ok, it was retarded for him to suck undertale cock especialy considering how he whines about jrpg being stupid when the whole games ends with literaly the most cliched,stupid and cheesy jrpg trope of all times
but really, he could go rape a cow and that still wouldn't make me think of him any less, his review about metroid other m and super mario galaxy 2 are still the most correct things you will ever hear about this game and for that he deserves the utmost praise, and it really annoys me when the butthurt fun just go "hurrrr but he's a comedian" like the point he makes are useless

Bit shit. He's ones of those people who push stories in game be cause he's shit at playing them and has a chip on his shoulder because vida isn as respectable as movies.
So naturaly he loves shitty adventure games. Don't know if he like those walking simulators though, I haven't watched him since before they got popular.
>>340860014
Wait I'm confused; so are you angry that he didn't find more good about Amnesia 2 or that he found ANY of it good?
>>340862550
Think you have the wrong person m8, he shits on walking sims regularly and is almost fanatically in love with the souls series.
>>340862550
>has a chip on his shoulder because vida isn as respectable as movies
he shits on movies repeatedly, hated games like Uncharted series/David Cage shit etc, thinking they were cinematic shit
he can like games despite being walking sims but otherwise, not really
I still don't like his MonHun Tri review
shit
>>340859917
extra credits is trash
>>340859521
He's fine, just fine. I'll watch his stuff every once in a while, depends how bored I am though.

ITT: People take satirical reviews seriously
He's entertaining and mostly a good reviewer and sometimes has some insightful shit to say, but it's important not to take everything he says at face value.
I mostly prefer his youtube channel.
Just don't take him seriously and you'll have a much better time watching.
His humor is hit or miss, he brings up decent points a fair bit of time. You'll either like him or loathe him.
His videos are just opinions, not reviews.Undertale was the best of 2015, but that speaks more to the poor lineup that year, more than anything.
>>340862783
He shat on DaS and DeS when he reveiwed them. Did he change his mind when they got really popular?
>>340864282
He went back to them at some point (people bitching, playing DS2, just a whim) and got hooked.
>>340864282
>he shat on DaS when he reviewed it
No?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STrYyhEwkbY
>>340861115
That and how he thinks Undertale is good but won't elaborate
>>340864282
He shat on DeS because he was too shit at it to enjoy it and then played DaS after constant requests and ended up enjoying it after a long while.
>>340859521
Not a fan of the man but I'll eternally give him credit for laying the smackdown on Super Smash Bros faggots.
>>340859521
He's an actual autist, but I quite like him.
>>340864282
He shits on literally every game he reviews. Even the ones he likes. It's his review style. Calm you're fanboyism.

A games critic liking Bioshock Infinite is like a professional sommelier enjoying actual human piss, what the fuck.
This review always makes me laugh.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHnYFP73MKE
So I guess he´s at least somewhat decent at what he does.
>>340865168
>He shits on literally every game he reviews
Except portal
>>340866216
To be fair, the only thing wrong with Portal was the fanbase memeing so hard they reached the mainstream. As usual.
>>340860839
>I kinda want to see what someone who thought B:I had a good story has to say about SH2.
Honestly, I thought it had a pretty damn good story, up until the TWEESTS, started happening. The characters were fun, the story was intriguing, and I wanted to find out more of what was going on, then it all just fucking shit the bed in the last quarter of the game.
>>340859521
GOTY Spec Ops.
ok humor, poor criticism, spends half a review talk about a games plot for a game that spends less than 1% of it's time focusing on plot.
Easily butthurt also.
He's a retard who likes story games because he has no motor skills. The books he's wrote are genre fiction garbage, Game Damage was vomit inducing, his reviews aren't funny, he lives in Brisbane, and he's a fedora wearing autist. His videos suck just like him.
>>340860185
BSI and Spec Ops were both mediocre titles with their only good parts being visuals.
Undertale was decent, not a GOTY for me but I'm not disgusted by someone who has it as there's.
I'd sooner play Duke Nukem Forever or Sonic 06 again than Spec Ops or Bioshock Infinite.
>>340866708
Undertale was dog shit. What did you like about it?
>>340866216
He's parised other stuff too. He isn't really just and insult reveiwer.
That said most of the game he likes are overly story focused stuff and indie shit.
>>340859521
Love it, it's jaded nitpicky videogame criticism that was done wayyy before it was cool.
He literally wears a fedora and thinks video games are art.
>>340859521
I like that he points out all the niggles in a game, even in my favorite games. Better than the shills who just say the game is great no matter what
>>340867187
>hurr da characters aren't relatable and there's not enough character development
He's seriously just a retard who thinks he knows anything about literature from reading pulp crap like Stephen King and JRR Tolkien. He only focuses on narratives because he doesn't know how to critique gameplay.
He's okay.
>>340867358
>from reading pulp crap like Stephen King
But he actively hates on, and badmouths Stephen King
>>340866908
Fantastic use of music.
Humor was mostly good for a game that try's to crack constant jokes.
Paper Mario esc Minigame combat system was as good or better than the games that inspired it.
I was expecting another South Park Stick Of Truth with it being a bad Paper Mario Clone, instead it was a really solid one.
Spec Ops is just another middling cover shooter, and the plot while ok isn't anything to write home about, most of it's been done before and better.
BSI is just a mess, it's not as generic as spec ops but it's all over the place, the stories and some elements of the gameplay are really bad, you can break the whole game if you use the right combination of equipment.
How many devs have referenced his reviews of their games? All I can think of are People Can Fly and Capcom Vancouver.
>>340859521
I enjoy Gabriel a lot, honestly. He can get up his own ass at times(But far less often than Yahtzee), and most of the time he seems pretty damn fun, and enjoyable.
Also, he fucking referenced that fucking prostitute bubsy abomination several times on his side channel, so that's fucking great and hilarious that he knows about that.
>>340867695
Okay, so nothing about the game itself. Good to know.
>>340867637
I said like Stephen King. He's just the most popular producer of pop-fiction. Writing that could scarcely be considered literature.

>>340860541
i only really like the DMC 4 and mgs4 reviews i feel you have to actually play through the games first as a lot of the humor is basically inside jokes, but at least the LDO are god tier even gabes twitch/podcast thing he does with his bros are pretty sweet.
I feel that he's gotten less funny and less vicious, for lack of a better word, as time goes on. I watched his early reviews and enjoyed them, but it seems around 2011 or so he's gotten nicer to games, even if he still shits on them.
I'll always like him for the Smash brothers review, the butthurt it created was a lot of fun.
>>340859521
Still pretty funny when I remember he exists and I have some funny rambling to catch up on.
>>340859521
Bad at video games, can't take him seriously.
>>340868031
>compliments music (line 1), characters (line 2), and gameplay (line 3)

I should know by now that /v/ is illiterate. That's why they call pannenkoek autistic; they literally don't understand what's going on when he puts numbers and letters on the screen.
Even if I don't agree with his critiques, I can still find the video entertaining.
This game is like [INSERT CRAZY METAPHOR xD LOL].
>>340861115
So what you're saying is his opinions are /v/'s, but about half a year behind?

So according to you, it's literally impossible to like an RPG, yes? There's no "game" to enjoy about Mario RPG, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, hell, even Runescape is nothing but "minigames" (combat and skills) and interacting with characters.
>>340869007
>a sample size of one is sufficient to draw a lasting conclusion
I once met a furry who had more of a life than someone I saw on here. Therefore, /v/ posters have less of a life than furries.

>>340869745
Eh, gives me more excuse to post more shitty TF2 sprays.
volvo pls reactivate sprays in Valve servers, I miss the pre-round spray parties
>>340869656
Yes. RP'G's aren't games, they're semi-interactive narratives.

It's expected.
>>340870490
Do you know what a game is? A game is just a virtual sport, as in, a competitive virtual experience. RPGs aren't competitive, they're just semi-interactive narratives like I said.
>>340865168
He praised the shit out of Bioshock Infinite.
>>340870997
>A game is just a virtual sport
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_(disambiguation)
>>340870997
At least you're trying again. Here.
"So wouldn't that mean that any single-player game isn't a 'game,' then?"
>>340871249
Oxford Dictionary:
game
É¡eJm/
noun
1.
a form of competitive activity or sport played according to rules.
Therefore a video game is a virtual form of a game. You are a fucking idiot.
Entertaining, but too self-centered to take in consideration when contemplating what you're going to play, since Yahtzee can easily disregard a brilliant game because at the start he got distracted by the longing for his boyfriend, didn't notice tutorial prompt and proceeded never realizing that you can push R1 to attack. Or alternatively because the story doesn't make him feel smart.
>>340871296
You're a casual retard if you like rpgs, nothing wrong with it, but don't talk like you understand anything about games, ok ?
>>340871296
Unless it has a scoring system I wouldn't call it a game.
>>340859521
I think he tries a bit too hard, but his videos are semi entertaining although the formula is getting a bit old at this point.
>>340870997
So every game that doesn't have a multiplayer mode isn't actually a game. Nice one.
Next you'll say "But in those games you are competing against the AI". The same thing can be said of RPGs as you're trying to defeat monsters and villains in battles.
>>340871415
I agree there, though generally I'd say if he likes game, it's at least worth a shot(With the occasional exception, like fucking Bioshock infinite, what the fuck?)
If he hates a game, I just take it as a funny review, and look at my own sources. If he likes a game though, it's usually enough to get me to give it a try.
I died laughing last LDO when he got all defensive about being called shit at games.
>>340870990
i'm not praising him for bashing other m, i'm praising him because he bash other m for all the right reasons, the stupid monotone narration, that desperate attempt to make the plot to sounds deeper than it is with stupid bullshit like "the bottle ship", that traitor mystery that goes nowhere, the bit where samus mentor sacrifice itself for no other stupid reason than the game needed a dramatic moment and they couldn't write one for shit
that part where he says "the alarm was called baby's cry because it was supposed to draw attention like a baby" and then he adds "right... unlike the other alarm which are just supposed to slightly bother you" always crack me up
>>340859521
Used to think he was funny.
Did he start the PC Masterrace shit?
If so he deserves to suffer just for that
>>340859521
He's not a "comedian", he's a casual retard AAA shill. Don't talk about him here, it will taint the archives.

m8, you're getting one-upped:
>>340871497
It's possible to devise a ranking system. RPGs generally take a lot of time to beat, so it'd be some function of finishing the basic story quickly, using few consumables. Doing so proves you've overcome a challenge.
>>340871569
Single player games keep your score. That's the competition. It's okay for RPGs and other shit to not be games, kid. Get over it.

>shown hunting tutorial screen
>"Don't patronize me game"
>spend entire game not realizing you can move during hunting
It was right fucking there. The very first line says you have to press enter, and he just ignored it every single time, blaming the game for putting him into bad spots for hunting.
>>340859521
He's an entertainer.
Not a reviewer.
>>340871765
>a retroactive definition of video games
Wew. Do you think that existed before video games or after?
>>340871801
That's not part of the game, though, that's just speedrunning. Even if you could implement a leader board you'd still only be catering to those who choose to compete, so it wouldn't be an integral part of the game.
Does he still make videos`?
I actually didn't know he was relevant anymore, I liked his videos when I was like 15years old.
>>340872080
So use total character experience, or accumulated currency. Numbers already in the game.

>a retroactive definition of video games
it's an example, retard. the definition is: activity for amusement
what is "playing pretend"? a fucking simulation?
>>340872080
What he wants to say is that RPGs don't take skill, and that's true.
>>340872379
But that's still not necessary, integral, to beating the semi-interactive narrative

He's a faggot who pretends to be a real reviewer when in reality he just uses his show to bitch about whatever he wants. And it works because people like to listen to other people complain.
>>340872416
No it isn't. I already cited the definition. It's a competitive activity. Sports are games, video games are like virtual sports, they require you to master skills to compete against others.
>>340872475
so thinking and planning isnt a skill?
>>340871838
Not every game keeps scores. Several RPGs have accomplishments and scorekeeping in some forms. Even something like completion of certain areas can be considered a form of scorekeeping for RPGs. The wires in your head are disconnected.

I like putting LDO n the background and playing some games where the sound isn't all that important. God forbid, though, I look at the actual video of them, because that makes me cringe like Qualcomm presentation, they're playing like couple of autistic paralytics with severe down's syndrome.
I really like it when I was 16 and thought British cynical commentary was neat. Now that it's everywhere I couldn't give less of a shit.

>>340872831
So you can only keep score by measuring arbitrary tasks that aren't integral to the game? Want to talk about time to complete? Put a time limit on it like Out Run. Then you can call it competitive. Out Run is a competitive single player game, RP'G's aren't.

His focus on story and narrative always annoys me. Even with Legacy of Kain being my favorite series because of its story I still would never demand every game to have any story at all, as long as gameplay is good.

Pretty sure he ain't coming to America. We all know only reason he wanted to do it was to be with his American girlfriend. I wonder who it is he's trying to fool into believing he actually has any career opportunities waiting there, himself probably.
He's not funny.
He's not clever.
He's casual as fuck.
He rarely finishes games.
He throws a hissy if the game isn't easy.
He doesn't play multiplayer because he's trash.
He thinks wearing a trilby is different from a fedora.
He thinks its okay to wear a trilby.
His games are alright.
