lol. a funny review as always. like the jab at the blood effects on the camera, since I myself forgot about "health" at times and was huddled in a corner just waiting for the screen to clear up.

"...Selling like hotcakes lodged in copies of an unreleased Harry Potter book centering around Hermoines bi-curious phase."

Summed up perfectly

I do like what he said about single player "its like the people who developed this could not believe how successful the first was, so half f them just try to see what they can get away with".

Well, it's nice to see somebody in the media realize how completely tame the "controversial" parts of the game are.

i always thought he was awesome. all uncharted 2 ever was was fantastic graphics and a pretty good multiplayer thing, that's what he said. i said modern warfare 2 sucks, same with him. i said borderlands is awesome, so did he. i said brutal legend sucks, so did he. only by being blatantly pessimistic can you ever actually see through PR fluff. the rest of the time it's like you punched it and decided the pr fluff behind the pr fluff must be the truth. suckers. that's just what the pr fluff makers want you to think, then again what i think is probably the equivalant of lighting the pr fluff on fire so only the METAL pr fluff is left and assuming that is the truth. the metal pr fluff is of course based on fact, but that and the whole truth is a very important part of that suckish oath you take before being tried for smoking pot, now isn't it.

So true Review is understandable, he sucks at the game though. That part he was talking about where died 13 times took me 2 tries on veteran. He also said he loved Spec Ops which is cool but he didn't play the online so I don't know what kind of review this is...

I have no idea what he just said....therefore that review was a mess, it was not funny and did not made any points at all. Cod 4 was exactly like he described cod mw2, therefore if you did not like cod4 why would you buy mw2?

Oh dear.

Cherokee_Jack
My point exactly, so now you like him because he bashes mw2, but i only watch his videos to laugh and compare my complains in games with his. Sadly that has stopped to be the case for some time now and he is trying too hard to create rants. One of the few reviews that was actually funny just like his first ones and not one more of his latest, will be clear sky. That was funny and deep. That review however was short, simple without any good rants.

This is exactly the type of game I want Yahtzee to rip apart... but I feel that sadly, Yahtzee has finally stopped being funny to me. I used to be a big fan, but lately his slamming of games has come off as forced and contrived to me. It's just painfully obvious that he doesn't even feel that way half the time. People want to see him rip into games, so he rips into great games, and as a person who has played them, it's hard to find that grain of truth in there to laugh at when all I can think is "dude, you're reaching... that's how fanboys talk about games".

I hope this review will prove me wrong, I used to sing the praises of Yahtzee every chance I got.

Yeah it's cause he didn't rip it apart that much. Most of his gripes were based on the fact that he wasn't very good at the game.

Haven't even dug into his review, but whats the point of reviewing it if you don't have the multiplayer?? Thats like cutting a apple pie in half and your parents don't want you to eat the other half. Also, Spec Ops is annoying unless you have a friend.

Hahah, this one was actually quite good. He mentions most of my gripes with the game without blowing them too far out of proportion, there are some funny side-jokes that aren't about the game, and he seems to actually give a crap.

Stay of execution for Yahtzee.

The "point"? His reviews are almost entirely for comedic purposes. He doesn't try and be objective, therefore nobody should be treating these as "real" reviews. Don't take it too seriously.

He doesn't review the multiplayer parts of games because he judges games by the single player.

I didn't know people still listen to what he has to say. In my opinion it's getting old.

He is a big Valve fanboy. He does at least have some taste.
