Help Im Alive posted:Did he ever like a video game He likes plenty of games. His shtick is just to accentuate the negative in everything. In general, if he takes any time at all to praise a game, he liked it and his over-the-top criticism is just for entertainment purposes. He really liked Persona 5, for example. I don't really find him entertaining anymore, but I used to. Even back then I was aware enough to figure he didn't actually hate every game and that I shouldn't take his "reviews" all that seriously, but it's probably pretty likely that a good portion of his audience takes him completely at face value, sort of like those "Everything Wrong With" Cinema Sins movie guys.

i never really got the impression that he was doing it as a gimmick? even in my favorite games of all time there's plenty of poo poo i could point to and say "well this really sucks watch out for this" while still loving the game and out of no obligation to be strictly negative about it

I always saw it as a gimmick--he's accentuating (real) negatives for entertainment, rather than to provide an actual review--but that's just my assumption.

Yahtzee is definitely gimmicky, and his gimmick is to overaccentuate the negatives of any game he's reviewing. Which has probably been a smart business decision as nerds simply cannot let go of anything that dare besmirch the name of Whatever.

I only ever saw like a few of his videos back when he was really popular (i didn't know he was still around) I liked that one stealth/heist game he made though

It does lead to a fun effect where any time Yahtzee takes the time to praise something, his fans go into "holy poo poo he must have loved it" mode.

Beelerzebub posted:Dunkey lives in Madison, WI Then I'm correct. I know the Dunkey Dance video was filmed on State Street and also in the Kohl's at West Gate Mall. And also I think I work with the guy he dances with at the beginning of that video? Either that or I work with that guy's doppelganger.

I finished Ghost Trick yesterday. It was a very fun and satisfying game and I am glad I played it! The only complain I have is that I thought that the game was leading up to something regarding Beauty and her sixth sense but nothing came of that, and I guess that's more on me than anything. Other than that, very fun and engaging and good!

Yeah ok I guess it probably works fine I've never played a TPS on PC and there's so much going on in Vanquish (especially in the challenge mode) so it just was a little hard for me to visualise for a second

The only tps I played on mouse and kb was RE6. I thought that playing it without a controller was a huge mistake but I later found out the game just sucked.

They will never port Vesperia, because they'd either have to do new work to accommodate the PS3 stuff or get a ton of complaints for just re-releasing the 360 version. Actually scratch that, Symphonia on PC exists as a franken-port.
