Honestly when it comes to Yahtzee, it's quite easy to gain a polarizing reputation. He comes off more as a comedian than a reviewer because of his unfairness in a lot of areas (Nintendo, anyone?) and yet, he ends up making me laugh every now and then. I won't lie when I say I feel rather mixed about his videos and to judge him based on all of said videos would be very difficult considering how many there are but based on what I've seen, I could then tell you: his ideals on what he thinks is "good" and "bad" are entirely subjective and ultimately, it's mostly his comedy that gets him views and not always his thoughts on whatever he's talking about.
His comedy though, can be considered very amusing and yet, his thoughts can immediately either put people off or please his own fandom (who some took the PC Master Race, a phrase he made to mock PC elitists to heart) in which some would immediately follow his opinion like non-individuals. I believe he might be too cynical and not fair enough when looking into stuff he both likes and dislikes. I get the impression that overall he should consider the possibility to also not look skin-deep into unreleased games and possibly consider them for games he might possible like (or dislike either way) instead of judging it by it's cover. That would be appreciated.
I find it difficult to take most of his thoughts seriously when he gives the impression that his opinion is factual (given when he says something is "good" or "shit") and everyone else he doesn't agree with is clearly not apparently given his video responses to comments (more a pet peeve than anything) though I have noticed he DOES actually like curtain things so that's nice, I guess. I would like to see changes that would hopefully make his show (Zero Punctuation) less polarizing and more enjoyable.
