yes
all 'game critics' are

Yes.

Game critics are just failed movie critics.

>subjecting yourself to gaming """journalism""" and """reviews"""

"Pretentious" isn't the word I would use. He found a lot of enjoyment in games devoid of story but with good mechanics in DOOM and some driving games. He just has an ability to see both the pros and cons of a given title, which is something the majority of Sup Forums lacks.

>asking if a british man is pretentious

Why do (you) care?

idk

>most of his work is about writing, either reviews, columns or novels
>asking if he seems more invested in story over gameplay

As for pretentious, that's more just what people expect of him at this point. He can only enjoy what he plays if it's on Let's Drown Out, and even then people are expecting his ZP persona to hold up there.

>is he just a pretentious storyfag?
He said botw wasn't memorable because it didn't have a good story.

He does. But he's not a child: so he appreciates gameplay the most when it means something.

It's just a natural progression. Nobody over 20 cares deeply about "hardcore" gameplay.

He recently said the same thing about Samus Returns.

He absolutely loved Cuphead though, and that game had as much lore as a Megaman game

Speak for yourself

movie critics are just failed literature critics

And literature critics are failed writers.

Let me guess, Nintendo fan?

Need another layer of failure

>le ebin "insipid ranting brit" meme

This shit is so fucking tired and played out and I can safely say I could happily go the rest of my life without hearing this shitty accent ever again.

He thinks Undertale has the best plot ever, which is basically left wing hippie commie propaganda. He hasn't even ascended to the level of deriving real meaning from games.

Yahtzee is for entertainment. His points are incredibly subjective. He played DeS up until the end of 2-1 without even facing tower knight and then shit on the game for being too hard. Then goes on to fellate Dark Souls forever thereafter.

If you take his opinions to heart, you're missing the point and it's your own fault you're getting pissed off about them. Just like all those Nintendo babbies that messaged him a ton of shit over smash.

Atlus fan, actually.

>pretentious storyfag
Yep thats why hes /ourguy/

Yes.He found Great Jaggi too hard in Monster Hunter Tri

but he made le glorious pc master race meme man image!

>Nobody over 20 cares deeply about "hardcore" gameplay.
When did Sup Forums go full casual? Did i miss the memo?

mh fans need to become obnixous like the darksouls fanbase
maybe he will give it another try

He only said that to get the "le hardcore gamer" cred

In his dark souls video he says he "gets it" now.

>he doesn't seem to care much about gameplay
One of the points he most frequently raises as criticism is when games lack a satisfying central core gameplay element. He doesn't care about story as much as he lets on I think, take his dark souls review:
"My favorite method of storytelling is not telling it" or something like that, he definitely values gameplay over story

its called bait

xd yahtzee is bets

I'm pretty sure he's also exaggerating most of the time.

See the problem with people like you is that you forget that regular, non-obsessive, human beings can enjoy a story without worrying about or being affected by whatever politics or agenda it may or may not be pushing
Undertale wasn't the best game but it had a fun little narrative that engaged well despite certain annoying authorial behaviours

what ? fuck off I'm 27 and I care deeply about hardcore gameplay, I don't give a shit about story. If I want something with story i'll watch a movie because that medium is much better at conveying a good story than games will ever be.

>Undertale is basically left wing hippie commie propaganda

I take it you're one of those mongoloids who think that the message is "killing is bad" and got triggered by the flaming homo characters that are played for laughs?

You aren't on a high enough level, I'm talking about the human condition.

Pretty sure he's a kangaroo fucker

>sargon of akkad
>zero punctuation
>jim sterling
>totalbiscuit
when will it end?

no I'm mostly mad because there isn't more Catty porn

Yahtzee' content is never worth giving the time of day. He spends very little time with the games he reviews and he's jumped at the opportunity to get hooked by pretentious restard bait in the past, like Bioshock Infinite.

Look at his Monster Hunter review for example. It's painfully obvious that he never got past the Great Jaggi.

those all suck too, except sargon

Writers are failed adventurers

he timed out against great jaggi in MH tri

Americans like being talked down to by British men. That's why Simon Cowell and Pierce Morgan were big over there. And then there's that annoying political cunt, I forget his name, the one with the glasses.

cuck

Fair enough user, fair enough

>watching ZP after he started using generic intro/outro music
>remembering that was (9) fucking years ago and wondering where the time went

sargon told me it's not nice to use that word too much since children without fathers need fathers to grow up to be good people. we don't need more single moms in the world, they're terrible.

he is a brit but escaped to 'stralia to escape white mans guilt

le current year man john oliver?

Yeah, that guy.
Even James Cordan is becoming popular in the US now. But I'm a britfag myself and only even knew about him from a shitty TV show he did and Lesbian Vampire Killers movie he was in. Both garbage.

>it's been literally 10 years since the old SSBB and MoHunTri reviews and fans are STILL buttblasted about it


beautiful, reminds me of xbox/nintendo retards who fall for Chad Daddy

Heavily

Say, are you preparing for his Super Mario Odyssey review?

I can't see him liking it all too much.
He will simply run the usual "it's another fucking Mario" skit, which obviously overshadows everything that has changed. Maybe he will even criticize it for returning to the 3D Mario style of the 90s.

You'd have to be braindead to take his reviews seriously. It's a literal comedy routine. If you can't laugh at your favourite game being made fun of, you really don't understand that opinions about games are subjective.

Not THAT much has changed.

He hasn't even reviewed my favorite game yet.

Adventurers are failed entrepeneurs.

What's your favourite game?

...

His main appeal is to shit on games even ones he likes, if you take him seriously you are an idiot

You should be taking your kids for walks, not dying to a boss 8 times in a row just to prove to absolutely nobody that you could.

Did you not see his Samus Returns video? Literally the only aspect of a game that leaves a lasting impact on him is the story, he could not care less about the rest.

He bashed Automata for stupid reasons and never gave the game a chance, probably only played route A.

He's an unfunny retard, i will never understand why he is even popular.

I mean he hated Dark Souls too, and loved Bioshock Infinite, how much subhuman low IQ can you be and still trick people into thinking you're funny.

The >le 2002 meme graphics his videos have make it even worse.

fuck you, my beef with Raoh was personal

Well, for once it's actually 3D again.

Not the pseudo-3D from 3D World or the Galaxies.

Yeah he's never going to review it. As far as I'm aware, he only reviews new releases, unless its a slow release month, but he never really plays anything too obscure.

Entrepreneurs are all just failed Chads.

I miss gabe

お前わもう死んている

Gabe has a YT channel where he does LPs with some bogan, it's surprisingly not shit and I usually can't stand LPs.

the game has had a remaster, and the last installment was released about two years ago

YOU は SHOCK

Can't believe they both dropped LDO the moment it was turning into something interesting. They were developing a larger viewbase alongside regulars keen to catch up with ongoing series. Then Yahtzee decides to fuck off to another country because of a woman, AGAIN, and Gabe is stuck on that boring channel and does nothing but retweet wrestling shit

Heroes III: Of Might and Magic

自殺しな

lol what ? that's the dumbest argument. You should go back to servicing your gloryhole instead of being an idiot on a Thai shoe-making website. durrr

The girlfriend lets plays are the worst shit imaginable.

he should review his girlfriend

What's not to get? He's a funny British man. Don't think about it any harder than that.

found the Sup Forumsddit fag

but he isn't funny

>not that much has changed
>well, it went back to a formula from 1996
No, he's right. Not that much has changed.

lol, try again I fap to kemoshota

He is not wrong

Only thing I remember from Botw is korok seed grinding and the same one dungeon being repeated

>he hated dark souls

Um wut? It's like his favorite game and he uses it as a standard all the time...

Gabe and that Bogan cunt need to finish their god damn Nier playthrough.

あたたたたたたたたたた

He's a one trick guy whose trick got old long time ago.

It was Demon Souls he hated not Dark Souls.
It's not his fault people memeified his graphics he's the one who made them and he's not talented enough to change his style.
He is an unfunny retard though i'll give you that.

He hated both Dark and Dmeons souls, but once they became popular, he started calling it the best game ever

He can be witty and has some decent jokes and observations, he can sometimes reflect on himself.

He's blue pilled as fuck tho and proud of it, so obviously it's all just for laughs, nothing serious.

How did you get this picture of me?

Hate is an exaggeration. It started when he tried Demons souls and cant even get past the first boss and made a whole video a rant on difficulty instead. These impressions carried over into dark souls and but then he was pressured into it by his friends, was going to review the 2nd one, and after watching some lets plays or vatividya videos.

The point is, he never was into dark souls from the start and didn't give it a chance until he decided to hop on the bandwagon. To be fair, he wont ever get off the bandwagon because he developed a genuine affection for the series.

Basically he has bad taste and his opinions are worthless.

>I mean he hated Dark Souls too
youtube.com/watch?v=STrYyhEwkbY

Not exactly.

OK, but I feel like his assessment was pretty fair. While dark souls is popular here and amongst vidya centered communities online, it can still be pretty inaccessible for normies. He acknowledged this and said once he spent some time he was glad he did.

I mean what would you rather him do, just write it off forever or actually put some effort in?

nobody over 20 cares about story because video game stories are garbage as fuck
the only reason for adults to play games is the gameplay
