I would say the choices here are very biased. I'll make my own.

Shitty.

Hasn't once made me laugh, and he more likely than not pretends to hate games cause he's a sell out who would rather hate popular games than hate legitimately bad games. How many games has he reviewed that wern't at least moderately popular or commercially successful  or hyped? He could just as easily find REALLY horrible shitty games to rag on, instead he just picks on games everyone is playing.

AVGN ftw.

Yes, I'm sure everyone in BIZARRO world is playing EVE online.

I'd also like to know how he 'sold out' since he's doing the exact same thing he's done ever since he left Youtube.

You're just bitter cause he hates your favorite game.

You're still hung up on him hating Brawl huh...

Jeez what part of "Troll" do you not understand? Seriously?

OF COURSE he's going to hate popular games, it's what he does. You're reacting exactly how he wants you people to. He wants you to hate him for hating your favorite games. He could really give a rat's ass about what you think of him.

He's basically a paid Swiftu.

He reviews new games, because you know. Thats what reviewers do. Whats the point in him going back and reviewing say, Frontier Elite?

He has legitimate reasons to hate on games. And the reviews are of his opinion. Not yours.

Also AVGN just swears and is about as funny as a funeral...

Dont! You'll give him ideas!

Yahtzees reviews are irrelevant. Honestly, the guy doesn't even like games, asking him which games are fun to play is like asking Aliento which hot female model would be the best to bang.

They're good for a laugh, but they're not meant to be taken seriously, cause if you do, he taken you hook, line and sinker.

I really don't think that's the point.  He wants to be funny, not to be taken seriously and be hated.

Nah, I believe it is the point. Ask Swiftu, he wants to be funny but also to make us go mad crazy and wanna kick his balls sometimes. :3

For all you know, he could actually hate those games. And some he does say he likes. He hated Brawl, true, but he said he liked Mario Galaxy. (there are others, those are just exmaples)

How many games has he reviewed that wern't at least moderately popular or commercially successful  or hyped?


Wait, you're complaining to not like him partly because he only reviews popular games? He does reviews once a week. So he's hardly going to waste his review time on games nobodys heard of. And if you watch his video, you'll see that The Escapist buys him the games he reviews, so really its up to them.

He trying to make us laugh, not telling us "this game is the second coming of Jesus!"
And I know, you said he doesn't make you laugh, but some people don't find Monty Python funny, are you gonna argue that that's not funny? Whether he's funny or not all is all opinion.

He could just as easily find REALLY horrible shitty games to rag on, instead he just picks on games everyone is playing.

As mentioned previously, why would people WANT to watch those? We watch his videos because they're about the games we're playing.

AVGN ftw.
See, in my opinion this guy sucks. He even makes his voice a bit quieter when he swears. I'm not saying its only cool to shout swear words, but If you're marketing yourself as Angry, you shouldn't be watching your volume levels. And I don't find him in the least bit funny, and he doesn't really do anything extraordinary.

Please note, I'm trying to change your opinion here. But you don't seem to have thought this through, with your reasoning at least. Except the "I don't find him funny" part. That's an okay reason to not like him.

Yahtzee's reviews are getting old in my opinion! The first 5 reviews I saw from him where funny. Mostly because the guy talks so fast and because of the images shown in the video. But it's getting real repetitive.

Nah you're just mad at him 'cause he bashes some Nintendo games.  ;)
The guy is supposed to talk fast, it makes it funnier.  :D I'm sometimes like 'what the hell did he just say'.

No I can't be angry on someone that has a different opinion then me! It sure would be nice if everyone shared your opinion. But it's stupid and immature to be angry on someone for not having the same opinion. But like AngryVideoGameNerd & Irategamer it's just getting repetitive after a few reviews.(for me at least!)
