I still watch it every Wednesday, but I don't think he is as funny as he used to be.

that's because anytime anyone does anything, someone always thinks they aren't as good as they used to be.

i don't know the Ninja Gaiden 2 was very funny better then the E3 one the week before.  I can see that some of it gets a little old some times but then he pulls out a gem of a line that makes you laugh your ass off.

"
He definitely has his moments. I guess I might just be getting tired of his review style. I agree that the Ninja Gaiden 2 review was really good.

I'd have to agree that I don't find him as funny as I used to. There's only the occasional laughs, but good ones in there these days.

I also don't find him as funny as I used to, though this is most likely because I'm used to his humour by now. I re-watched some of the older ones that I enjoyed and they didn't make me laugh, so I don't think he's gone down in quality, I'm just too used to it. I did snigger at some of the jokes in the Ninja Gaiden one, however.

As soon as some internet video series gets big everyone sais it's not as funny anymore. Why is that?

I watched a couple early vids.  They were alright but after a while it just boils down to pop culture references and cursing.   At that point I lost interest.

Yahtzee is a master of words, his vulgarity combined with his "fast talking funny man" routine really makes me laugh every time.

Just like anything else when you see it repeatedly it looses impact.  Most of these video series have at most a couple jokes to them, that's it.   There's only so much content before you've seen it done every way possible.

But he's not really a game critic. I certianly don't look to Yahtzee for game purchasing advice.

He needs to bring back game specific music.  He lost some of his luster when he did that recently.

I still think that Zero Punctuation is great and that "Yahtzee" puts a lot of work into each episode he does.

yeah it would be nice if he did, but he said he was tired of looking for music and worring about copyrights.  They did add a lot to the review though,  you could tell where he was going depending on what song he had in his intro.

I think he used to be more consistently funny in the start, now he can be hit or miss. I still watch him every chance I get, though. 

I hope the Escapist Magazine doesn't ruin it.. Even though, they already kind of have. First they put those strange commercials at the end and then they make him put that awful guitar opening instead of his usual random music. I know he said he stopped with the music on his own, but I find that hard to believe..

 If the Escapist Magazine has anyone other than a monkey running the show, they should know not to mess with Yahtzee, he is the only thing they have. Seriously, who here had even heard of the EM before yahtzee?

Yahtzee is pretty damn good but lately his humor has been rather tired. His E3 video was terrible... saying there was no original IPs... wonder what E3 he went to.

He didn't go to E3,  That might be why he felt it was terrible.

Most people just watch this guy for the laughs. But me, I believe that Yahtzee makes some very valid points that most critics fail to mention. Not only does he know how to get his point across, but he does it in an extremely funny way. So Yahtzee wins at being a reviewer and at being teh funny. I would like rough mansex with him.

He's first a comedian, then a game reviewer. While many of his points are valid, he just harps on minor things to make it funny.

I'd have to disagree with his getting less funny. It seems that over time his joke delivery has only improved. Watch the Ninja Gaiden 2 review, and then go back and watch his Bioshock review, and you'll find that his older reviews have considerably less punch, and his voice seems almost lazy.

his reviews are like Will Ferrell movies, Anchorman was good, but then you realize everyone after that is exactly the same. I'm not being a baby, but a realist.

He was pretty funny at the start, but now it seems he insults every game in basically the same way, and it's just boring.

I am not a fan of Will Ferrell but i see what your saying.  So all Will Ferrell fans go to see all his movies just cause they want to see the same jokes in different context.   So what would be the point of playing more then one FPS made by the same company  or playing any game genre more then once?  They are the same game just with slight differences...
