Re: Zero Punctuation (just for laughs)
Yahtzee is doing what all the idiots in a game review magazine are supposed to be doing.
Criticizing. It's their job, yet the best they can manage to fork over is a "Well, the game is fantastic, but I did get a weird static shock one time on the same day I played it." Most game reviewers are so far into game producers pockets they don't bother to actually critique the game, they just praise it.
Yahtzee, to me, just comes across as a man who feels that there needs to be more criticism and less syncophantic adoration coming across. I don't even bother reading the reviews in magazines like Game Informer or EGM, because they are all the same rubbish wrapped up in some sort of candy-coated blowjob to the game production companies.
Because I think we all remember what happened with the game review website that had a reviewer post a negative review of Prey, and they had the advertisement for Prey all over the website. He got fired and they apologized.
