"Um ok do you people actually take everything he says seriously? Do you guys not get the point of what he does? I find that amusing. "
It's not a matter of not getting what he does, it's the fact that HE doesn't even seem to get the point of what he does. If he's just there to satirize games and make fun of them through images and such, then why does he sway back and forth incessantly between purposefully blowing things out of the water for comedic effect and legitimately critiquing the game he's talking about. I don't know, it's hard to explain, but with, for instance, James Rolfe (AVGN) he has an established character with a clearer (at least in my opinion) persona of "my suckiness at this game leads to my anger leads to me nitpicking at the littlest of details." Yahtzee seems completely random and unfounded though in what he's trying to be, and if that's the direction that he's trying to head in with his reviews, that's fine. But I just think that a big reason why a lot of people aren't fans is simply because he can't make up his mind about whether he's doing humor for the sake of humor, or if he's trying to openly critique the sensitive areas of certain games, or a combination of both or what.
