In other words, you won't like him when he doesn't like what you like?
Book me today! I also review weddings, funerals and bar mitzvahs.
I can't say I often agree with Yahtzee. Maybe it's because as a reviewer he plays a lot of games he doesn't really care about and doesn't take the time to really let them grab him. Maybe it's because he just goes overboard a lot of the time in the name of comedy. But I still watch his reviews sometimes, because they're just goofy and entertaining. It kind of amazes me how people get so angry about these things.
"Maybe it's because as a reviewer" He never called himself a reviewer, he calls himself a critic and admits to nitpicking as a result.

But the The Nostalgia Critic calls himself a critic and yet he tries to be fair with each movie he sees.
Nostalgia Critic spends 30 minutes ripping into the movie and then mentions some good things at the very end. That's his idea of being fair, and that's fine.
Yahtzee spends five minutes making fun of the game and it's stupidest elements and sprinkles in the good parts where appropriate. Essentially the same thing.
Their drive is primarily comedic, not informative. Always keep that in mind.
Fair enough.

Your Milage Will REALLY Vary
Zero Punctuation (and by extension, Yahtzee himself) is tough to really form an opinion on. On good days, he's actually pretty funny and hell, you may find yourself agreeing with him from time to time. I know I have. However, if he reviews a game you really like... Don't expect him to go easy. At his worst, he may just throw "This game is poo-poo!" rants at you and the humour can become outright disgusting at points. To say that one should take his reviews with a pinch of salt is an Understatement. The jokes he makes in his reviews will do anything from draw a laugh, cause a Face Palm and just instil rage in someone. In short, you should be fine if you don't take his reviews too seriously and possibly stay away from videos by him on games you like. Just don't expect "professionalism" from him.
