[@macicoinc9363]

I started watching ZP when I was 12 and am happy to learn that: 1. Yahtzee's old reviews still hold up today and it isn't just the tint of nostalgia that makes me remember so fondly of this. 2. I had at least somewhat decent tastes back then, even if I didn't understand half of the jokes or references he was making. 3. That Yahtzee is still producing content of similar, if not better, quality to what I enjoyed over a decade ago.

[@Bustermachine]

A good chunk of that is probably because Croshaw hasn't succumbed to his persona the way a lot of the early 'angry funny man on the internet' video reviewers have. When you watch or read his more long form reviews it's very clear that even with games he doesn't like, a lot of the attitude is purely performative and he does put a lot of thought and has an interest in learning and articulating WHY he thinks some games are good and some are bad. Meanwhile a lot of similar reviewers have devolved into caricatures of themselves in order to chase views.

The game comic bit will never get old. I remember reading a nuzlocke comic on dA where the author arguably made an effort for having an original story, but the characterization was completely wrong for the "hero" who honestly was not open to discussion, complained about not being heard when everyone always pandered to her, blamed others for her short comings and lashed out violently when challenged. Funny enough when I pointed this out the author then accused me of not listening, blaming me for misinterpreting their character and lashed out violently for doing so.

I liked Dead Space...and I still remember the scariest moment: I just beat a few necromorphs and was sure the room was clear - then I heard a mysterious banging.

Until I reached a room with a few bodybags, glitching out and making the noise by clipping through the floor...it's really sad that a supposed horrorgame induced the most horror in me through a bug.

[@CherryNobody]

a lot of people seem to point out how harsh a lot of the old reviews are, but honestly even back here the positives of certain games are still retained. I always remembered ZP as being brutally uncompromising and vicious, but coming back it all feels a lot more lenient than i remembered when i was younger.

[@zbsfm]

[@belltowersubductions5104]

It’s interesting to see how Yahtzee started off relentlessly and uncompromisingly abrasive at every opportunity, mocking everything that moves and going as far as can be done, and yet if You look at His modern reviews, while very little has changed, there’s a definite difference in tone. He feels a lot more exhausted, and a lot less deliberately aimless in his abrasiveness. There’s more genuine seeking of quality and Art to Him, but tired and worn down by the endless sludge through what We refer to as Modern Gaming, but many others would refer to as A Vision of Hell. I think I prefer the modern stuff too, which seems counterintuitive to how Humans normally work.

[@GameAlicornLuna]

After playing EVE for 5 years, I might know what those skills are. Signature Analysis and Signature Focusing are both very similar named and it's been some time since I played. One may involve how well you can scan signatures while exploring while the other may speed up your lock on time. Tactical Logistics Reconfiguration lets you use the Triage module formerly on Carriers but now it's on Auxiliary ships. Basically, it lets you become an immobile super healer. Also, I still love how Yahtzee apparently lost a Drone Carrier Battleship to what is essentially a commercial truck while both were flying backwards. Also, the markets in EVE Online are 98% player run. If you see it for sale, it's being sold by another player. The 2% comes from seeded items that players can't obtain or build such as skill books and blueprints but some savvy people buy piles of skillbooks and sell them for inflated prices at market hubs.

@@Drragnorr Remember the good old days? Eh? The good old days? When you could still lynch black neighborhood teens? Member those? Can't do that now anymore, can we. Nooo, then it's jail. Member when you could be horribly racist and actively terrorize other people and ruin their lives? Can't do that now anymore. Live in constant fear of calling someone the n-word. It's only a word that's been used to dehumanize enslaved and terrorized groups for hundreds of years! What's wrong with that! It's political correctness gone mad I say.

there's hardly any censorship and i sure didn't mind so it might be the ones whining who are the sensitive sissies

ni.ko386 Many jokes have been cut out entirely.

[@cursingsteak0124]

@@ni.ko3869 To be fair, it would have been less effort to cut nothing. considering they were left in the original reviews, why put in the extra effort to remove content?

15:45 and 2:40:00 why is the same review for sonic in twice?

​@@Sebastian_Athea They proofwatched it enough to catch every reference to Hitler and censor them out, if they care enough about thoroughness to bother making the videos worse and less funny they ought to care enough not to pull repeats.

I used to think the line about shouting his favourite dessert and gaining superpowers was funny, until I was taught the Lemon Meringue Paioken technique

Dunking on Lemmings for being wrung dry and not bringing up Lemmings Paintball is a real missed opportunity.

[@billycarr785]

The 2010 one didn't have any ads in it, and I'm surprised this did because Yahtzee here seems to make it a goal to get every single wordvomit video demonetized into a highly localized recession.

Um excuse me, but there was a period at 1:43:00 so there is CLEARLY punctuation. Top ten anime lies of all time.
