Oh, also, not all Australian's share his opinion :P

I shared his few criticisms before I had played the game for more than an hour. You great accustomed to the controls and eventually realise that it just couldn't work any other way.

Man, I'm getting tired of Yahtzee simply pointing out the faults in games now. Time was (lol) that he'd actually review games he likes, then talk about why they're awesome. Or he'd review a game that was OK, then talk about why they're a little bit awesome and a whole lot of crap.

A few times when talking about BC he did briefly mention he liked some things about it, but didn't go into the detail he would have in the past. Basically, he's being controversial for the sake of it, and it's hurting his funny.

I watch his videos every week, but I rarely agree with what he has to say. His complaints about a lot of games are pretty dumb. Like when he said you could beat the computer at Soul Calibur 4 by spamming throws. Alright, you can, but that's like saying the single player campaign in Halo 3 is short. That's missing the point of the game. He also complained about how you had to unlock things in Smash Bros. Brawl in the single player mode. That's not even true. You can unlock almost everything just by playing a lot of multiplayer matches. You can even play most of those single-player modes with multiple players. He basically claimed that Brawl wasn't multiplayer-friendly and that couldn't be further from the truth.

Then again, actually caring about his opinions is missing the point of his reviews. He's not a real reviewer in the traditional sense. He exists to call out every little flaw, whether it's significant or not, and mock the hell out of it. People don't watch his reviews to decide what to play, they watch them because they're funny. (Though they may be less funny than they used to be.)

I never have this problem because I simply don't listen to his reviews of games I like. He's funny when he's scathing and I'm not interested in him blasting away at something I know I already like. Zero confrontation.
