Who do you think made a better review of Bionic Commando Rearmed?

Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw or Jeff Gerstmann?

Probably Jeff. I watch Yahtzee's "reviews" for entertainment purposes only. If anyone seriously makes buying decisions with his "reviews" should stop right away.

Vinny.

"Probably Jeff. I watch Yahtzee's "reviews" for entertainment purposes only. If anyone seriously makes buying decisions with his "reviews" should stop right away."

Oh God. Are we comparing REVIEWS?!

This is totally ridiculous.

I haven't played the game, so I can't say, but too many people disregard Yahtzee's words because he's funny. He makes a hell of a lot of good points, and made the definitive review of Too Human, I think.

There is plenty of value to be had from listening to Yahtzee, just as there is value from listening to Jeff. I mainly watch Yahtzee for the entertainment value, but I have found myself agreeing with him on many points. That being said, I still don't like Psychonauts and still love Oblivion.

Back on point though, who cares who's review was better? If there comes a day when there's a website which reviews the reviews of games, I'm pretty certain the world will then end. Either that or all us sane people will just think its ridiculous. One of the two.

Yes he is. Even he admits it. He doesn't *want* anybody to make a serious consideration of a game using his "reviews" as part of that decision. He's made that explicitly clear before."

Bush doesn't want people to hate him, but we do gladly anyways. Also, this holds no relevance."

Yahtzee = ultimate douchebag.

The most condescending asshole on the planet and yet many fanboys on earth praise him as the messiah of gaming criticism....FUBAR! The cunts insults the people who like the games he hates and people stand up for this guy? Then optimistic gamers might as well be fanboys.

You must be a Smash Bros. fanboy."

"I like the game but it's not one of my favorites. He called anyone the plays the game competively fanboys. You think people don't have the right to have angry for him to insult people who like SSBB like that?

You must be a Yahtzee fanboy."

See, somehow, I knew this was going to stem from his SSBB review, like most of the bile people spew at him is from.  And you know what?  He's fucking right about all of it.  The SSB franchise is nothing more than a huge button-masher, and it's completely pointless.  All the competitive fanboys that drool over that hunking pile of shit are the same kinds of guys that fail to excel at something like Samurai Showdown or SFII, and so they have to find something retardedly simple in order to "make a competition" off of.

And if you are competing on SSB, you might as well jerk each other off and see who busts a nut first...because it takes about the same amount of effort and creates about the same level of mess.

And it IS bullshit that you have to unlock characters for a fucking party game!!!  Same goes for every Mario Party game (although I liked 8 as a "nothing else to play" game).

I thought all of this shit BEFORE he reviewed SSBB, but he finally said what I couldn't put into words nearly as well.

And just for a quick bit of curiosity:  if you hate the fucker so much, why do you watch his reviews?  Do you like kicking yourself in the nuts so you can look at the bruises too?

I love Yahtzee, one of my favorite reviewers. Despite being a heavy gamer, he seems to hate every game that's ever released. We are very similar in that regard.

I wouldn't really call Yahtzee a reviewer....more like a commentator.

If the point of the video is comedy more than anything then it's not really an accurate review. But...he gets his point across.

Yahtzee doesn't really review...

The man is a snarky sensationalist who's just going to make the gaming industry worse.

Guys... guys...

So you agee that retro games and fighting games suck?"

Sometimes you agree, sometimes you don't who cares?

"

Don't be stupid. A single reviewer isn't going to have any effect on the industry at all. You entire post is full of shining logic such as this. How am I to take you any more seriously than Yahtzee when you say things that are obviously meant to appeal to peoples emotions more than their intellect?"

Can anybody post Yahtzee's review/commentary/stupidity/godlyness of Bionic Commando please?

"Ifs just that I hate it when people try to shun me for not agreeing with Yahtzee and like the games he hates."

Best idea I've heard all night.

This is starting to get fun!

"Please don't procreate and let your stupid contaminate the human gene pool. Please. Ignoring the fact that you seem to think your opinion on a fucking video game is the only right one, it appears you've never spent more than 5 minutes playing the game.

Smash Bros is not a button masher. I am not a series fanboy nor do I play it competetively, but anyone with an ounce of skill will realize this. I'm not even that good but so help me god I will fucking destroy you if you try to button mash against me, or any skilled player. Simplistic controls =/= no depth, I wish people would realize this."

WA--? You're stuck at 35 posts Jakob!

I CAN ONLY HOPE!

35 sounds mediocre. 0 rocked man...

"35 sounds mediocre. 0 rocked man..."

I don't trust Australians opinions on things, so I wouldn't take him seriously if he actually did do a serious review of a game. 

The only thing that bugs me about Yahtzee is not him himself, but the people who comment on his videos. They all try to write stuff that sounds like the way he talks in his videos with the flamboyant vocabulary. It's not that I don't understand what they're are saying, it's just that they come off as pretentious and seem like they are trying too hard.

I used to hate him for some reason but he's funny and sometimes he is right, joking or not.
