Here's a rant YAY
These are the issues I find with Yahtzee;
1) Like all bad critics, he finds that general negativity in his reviews is an easy way for entertaining/publicity. Negativity is entertaining, but also sadly dramatic and annoying
2) He complains about the games he reviews, however there is little denying that some he does just simply enjoy to play, take Guitar Hero World Tour, he loved GH2, and so inevitably he will enjoy this, however he had to be negative about it to make it entertaining, and so he picked some minor flaws.
3) He has some "apparent" racism, I say apparent because a number of comments have been a bit ambiguous. One video, he says quite bluntly "also, Hitler was right!". Now I know this is the internetz, but you are asking for people to be like "WTF!?!" if you make a statement like that. And with this video, he complains about the European dialect songs, but seriously, what's wrong with them? Take GH3, I loved Hier Kommt Alex (German) and Avalancha (Spanish), and my missus adores Superbus - Radio song (French), I even went as far to singing along to the chorus's, especially since German is a funny language to mimick. That, and this game does go out to more than just UK/USA/Australia, Japan for starters and of course the PAL region loves it, so I wish he wouldn't be so ignorant.
At the end of the day, I watch his videos, they ARE entertaining, but they also make me grit my teeth and want to circumcise him, and plain taking the piss out of Deus Ex for no apparent reason other than negative entertainment is just a good excuse to hate him even more so
