But it's fun. And funny.  
 
Also, he didn't even talk about the real problems with that game, like the near-useless map, and the framerate troubles. 

You realize that the ending of this game has been lambasted in detail on the Bombcast, right?

Because Yahtzee is an arrogant dick and if you value his opinion that much you're probably a lost cause already?

Its okay dude, cause there's so much mods on the nexus that make it so much bet- 
oh wait.

This. I mean, his videos are funny, but he complains about everything. I don't think I've ever seen him say a game is good (though aside from that Fable III one, I haven't watched any of his stuff in YEARS).  "

You guys are missing the point by a rather large margin.
 
Yes, the way he describes the ending is accurate. No, he's not the only person to complain about it vehemently. Other people also have, including the dudes who run the website you are currently posting on.

Watched it and it bored me to death. How anybody finds him funny is ridiculous.

" Watched it and it bored me to death. How anybody finds him funny is ridiculous. "

I don't understand why some people don't realize that Yathzee is playing a character and has determined before he even starts playing a game that he'll be a dick about it in the review. Cause that's his thing. That's what he does. He used to be positive about games in his old reviews, but people didn't like that, so he stopped.

I'm amazed that people still find Yahtzee's one-joke caricature entertaining.

I'm amazed people get offended by Yahtzee.  His video's are supposed to be a lighthearted ribbing of any game whether it's a hit or not.  It's like a roast for video games.  If you don't find him funny thats cool, but getting offended by him would be like getting offended by Greg Giraldo (RIP).

Yahtzee may only criticise games, but at least he knows how to critique games, unlike almost all the game critics who are currently working.

Why does every thread about Yahtzee's opinion come down to people either saying "I think Yahtzee is funny" or "I don not think Yahtzee is funny"?
 
The fact is, if you read his blog Extra Punctuation its pretty clear that what he is doing is an odd combination of serious criticism and overly-agressive comedy. He has some very detailed views about stuff that he mentions in the videos that goes beyond mere trolling. Not that he doesn't do that too.
 
The point is that by emphasizing the negative to an extreme, Yahtzee provides a viewpoint that allows you to examine games in a very productive way. Even if he is ultimately wrong about something, that tells you something meaningful as well.

Wrong as in for this one game? Or wrong as "in general". I rarely agree with this guy, and I find notions of people considering him a "reviewer" kinda strange. Clearly he has a very specific taste in games, which is commendable. It's when he's matched with something that obviously isn't going to jive with his very jaded personal bias, that his little verbal sessions usually write themselves. Sometimes having a vocal negative view-point on a popular game is healthy, especially given what feels like a white-wash of opinions when it comes to certain games with reviews. 
I don't like heavy contrarian exclamations though, and his opinions usually run the gambit of an honest insight to something wrong, and being a troll.
 
Oh, and he's not funny. :/

Oh man, I went back to actually watch the video and that was actually quite funny. 
Also I think Fable games are shit.

" Wrong as in for this one game? Or wrong as "in general". "

Fable 3 was panned across the board, and many of the reviews cited the end-game to be a big deal-breaker. So yes, he's more or less in line with everyone else. 

Why would you need to be convinced someone opinion is wrong? Just make your own.

Every time I see Yahtzee's name pop up it makes me wonder what the hell is wrong with internet people.
 
Dude is a one-trick pony, yet he's been at this shit for years. Goddamn.

This is somewhat true. I think that what Yahtzee does is a lot less like a product review and feels a lot more like artistic criticism. which is pretty much directly opposed to every other game reviewer ever. "

Yet he gets mad if you don't take his opinion seriously. "

This is to everyone on Giantbomb. Next time you decide to start a thread and start it with "convince me...", punch yourself in the face. Please.

Forgot to give my input to OP. Sorry.
 
Just wanted to say I cant really endorse buying or playing Fable 3. I haven't played it, so my opinion immediately is void, but I gave up on Lionhead when they turned into con artists by making Fable 2 have no ending, and releasing DLC that only advertised they'd be making Fable 3. 
 
I have no respect anymore for Peter Molyneaux or Lionhead (for more reasons then listed, I'm just keeping it short).
 
That's all I'm gonna say, i've actually said it many times before so I don't wanna get off on a rant =P

Opinions can be wrong if they are based on false premises. "

Fair enough, but I doubt that you'll find a legitimate counter-point that "he" brings up.  Fable 3 has tons of problems, and nothing negative that Yahtzee brings up in this review is new. "

Well, technically the two things are not comparable because whether or not there is a personal god is statement of fact, not a value judgment. An objective fact can still be correct even if you argue it badly, an opinion built on falsehood is just inherently wrong.

Fable 3 sucks ass.

I even got the perfect ending and it was kinda lame. The game's just anticlimactic... it's a real bummer. 

You guys realize that Yahtzee really is a full out troll, and the more you hate him, the more you "feed him" so to speak. Still, I enjoyed Yahtzee in the day and I still think that he makes a clever joke or two in his current reviews. Don't hate on him guys, it's just personal opinion
