lmao, I still love listening to him. What he said about Sonic was hilarious "he's still a cartoon ****ing rat". I haven't played SW2 but now it's come to Steam perhaps I will!

edit: Great, can't watch any ZP videos anymore.

 

[Dog--]

The only thing I didn't like about SR2 is the cars, they handle so arcade-like, they don't feel real when driving, other than that, I loved it, too.

No! Unhand me! He must be made to suffer! HE MUST BE MADE TO SUFFER!

 

[Lobster]

The stream server gets battered in the first few hours after a video comes out, try later.

This.

 

[Laivasse]

He might have been more convincing in his u-turn on GTA4 if he'd just said what we all know, ie. 'I'm a completely inconsistent ****face'. In any case it's still bizarre to give a 'poor quality' award to a game he eulogised about at the time, just because he thinks it was surpassed by another similar game.

Lol'd at the prejudice joke.

 

[Rizzo]

Pretty good I guess. Don't really agree with him on his views on GTAIV though.

 

[Shift]

I actually agree with him on the GTA 4 points, the graphics do seem like they have been dipped in grease and it takes ages for the game to really get going, the cars are fine though. Its still a really good game, but I wouldn't give it game of the year.

 

[Asknoone]

GTA4 was wank. It lost something very important in the transition - personality.

 

[V-Man339]

Once again, great video by Yahtzee.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Eh, Yahtzee's starting to wear on me. I love how he rails on everything in 2008 being a shallow rehash, then awards game of the year to a game that was practically identical to it's predecessor. His reasoning? "I had fun with it." Truly you are the needle that guides the compass of gaming journalism, Yahtzee.

Inb4 "OMG it's just comedy."

Spoiler

Because it's not.

 

[smwScott]

Mildly amusingly written ... completely stupid content.

It's like watching the one guy with amazingly bad taste stand in front of a room and authoritatively tell people what they're allowed to like. Except on the internet people listen.

 

[Absinthe]

It was funny, but really inconsistent in some parts in regards to previous reviews. And the Saints Row 2 bit was kinda... huh?

 

[Deleted member 56031]

I have to say it was kinda funny and I did agree with some of his points but it was not that great and anyone naming SR2 as their GOTY just leaves an odd feeling in the gut

Also anyone else notice that he has reverted his opinion on fallout 3 just like gta 4 :|
