How is this man so funny

How is this man so funny

Every attempt I've ever seen at "gamer humor" has been CAD-tier garbage that is so painfully unfunny that it makes me want to completely omit myself from being associated with video games.

This man is not only genuinely funny, but so much funnier than everybody else that it's an enigma. How is everybody else in existence under the umbrella of "video game comedy" so much worse at what they do.

I don't even want to laugh at these stupid graphics set to a fedora-clad Australian talking about video games but I can't help it. I cannot sit through any of these videos with a straight face.

I'm watching his reviews of the Call of Duty series and I have tears in my eyes.

fuck him and fuck you
shoot yourself faggot.

I want Gabe back

Dunkey is better

What are you objecting to?
Do you know?

Or are you just angry because somebody mentioned some kind of "e-celeb"

he's underrated as a writer honestly.

He's chuckle worthy but if you follow his stuff constantly you'll get bored of his antics.

fuck you. kill yourself.

>How is this man so funny
You have low standards

>tfw you watch his live action videos and realize hes not a brit and fakes the accent

I go through a cycle at least once a year.
A Yahtzee video will pop up in my recommended, I'll watch it, watch a few more and wonder why I stopped watching him.
Then I'll get to a really shitty video where he says something really retarded completely straightfaced and be like "oh yeah, that's why".

>I'm such a misanthrope, fuck society and fuck children
>If you are social you are literal male roastie and must be sucking on a shotgun barrel while antisocial and jaded people like me will reign supreme

>has friends
>was in a relationship several times
>has a gf for which he even abandoned his best friends and home country for a worse one
>sees dedicated and passionate people as fat sweaty basement dwellers who fuck their moms out of desperation

I can't even really describe it.

It isn't funny because "haha he's exaggerating"
It isn't funny because you find it relatable.
It isn't funny because it's crass humor.

He has a way of phrasing everything that just makes it sound so comical.

so you're buttmad he doesn't like your favourite game

I can't believe he still makes ZP. I mean, he obviously is in auto pilot and just keeps making them for the paycheck but I'm sure he could just do streaming or something else to just make easy, steady money.

And you know what ZP is some of the worst things he's done.
Let's drown out is bar none the best podcast/let's play ever created and both post-ZP and keep it classy pale in comparison because the chemistry is just not there like it was. I have the entire catalog downloaded and I still watch their 90s adventure game LP's as comfort food. Each one is funny and insightful and I'm so glad they answered one of my questions.
Don't forget Yahtzee's books! All of which are fantastic works of comedic fiction. While they have problems to be expected of an authors first few outings into long form literature, none can deny that they are funny and that each brings if not a completely new idea than his own unique spin on interesting settings and characters.

I love that man and all his work. Getting to meet him and sign my copies of his books is a personal goal of mine. And no I would probably not suck his penis any more than I already have done in this post.

this

Check again, the Oblivion video is gone

And yet there is a bunch of fucking retards who still watch his streams even though he openly despises the audience.

How is he different from any other streamer then?

How can you unironically feel this way
Yahztee is a cowardly misanthrope and Gabe is a pompous blue collar idiot
You can literally meet guys like this everywhere
How can you actually look up to them

literal who

I really enjoyed JAM until the end which was shitty and rushed

I like Yahtzee well enough but I think he's at his funniest when his boyfriend Gabe is making fun of him for being a pretentious fop. Also when he loses his mind over the dumbest thing because of his autism.

>le fedora nonsensical comparison man
>funny
Unironically yikes

Yeah but most of the time those two people are talking over games. And I still think they can be funny despite maybe being d-bags

youtube.com/watch?v=5t4xS2PqFFA

this video is very good

That channel he's sometimes in with his friend where they're always begging for money is just miserable.

Haven't watched Yahtzee in figuratively years. Maybe I'll catch up on some vids.

It's not that they're douchebags, it's that they're every day douchebags who you could meet anywhere

The Escapist is and always was completely horrible except for yahtzee
>game dogs
I hate the fucking escapist so much

I always laugh at the visual stuff. The text dialouge and how it looks

Did he ever go back and actually play Demon's Souls or is he still the face of Dark Souls bandwagoners?

You know what I 100% agree as soon as they get on the ship it feels a bit rushed. A lot rushed, although I liked the final scene with Tim and Travis and Travis and Don's parting was great. Overall I thought book was a great one, even if the ending was a bit of a let down.

the only internet personality that understands game design

Doomsday Arcade was alright from my recollection

He's gone soft over the years though.

Agree to disagree I guess. Maybe you live in funny-podcaster city but I live in a real place.

Sometimes being the key word.

Narrative driven single player games (usually horror)
He can't even appreciate gameplay, he doesn't know anything about game design

I know at least one genuine autismo who streams exclusively Borderlands games for 4+years almost every day while already having prior to this over 5000+ hours into the game, and seemingly enjoys the game and the audience. But he seems to be just brain damaged.

Early jimquisition was watchable, but ever since v2 the entire site has been complete sjw-shill garbage

Maybe it's because I live in the same country but Gabe is a typical shit-for-brains tradie and Yahtzee is the typical I got bullied at school and I'm kind of a dick now nerd

Yahtzee and Seanbaby are the only vidya-centric comedians that have manged to create genuinely hilarious content.

Everyone else who has tried has ultimately proven to be nothing more than a fucking hack.

Yeah narrative single player horror games like
Dark souls
(New) Doom
FTL
Driver san Fransisco
Obra Dinn

It is.
We used to gather round my buddies PC to watch his videos back in the day, but I fell off him in recent years after eceleb culture took hold and gave me cancer. One of his videos came up in my recommendations yesterday and it's still pretty damn funny, I could stomach one of them a week for sure.

Yeah to be 100% I live in butt fuck nowhere surrounded by ranchers and meth heads.

I think the only game on that list that doesn't qualify is FTL
maybe Dark Souls but that's still very similiar to the narrative driven action-adventure

If you say so broseph, every critic has their favorite genre. He's not the be all end all of critics

DRUMPF BAD HAHA

Sure you can have your favourite genre but he's only capable of viewing games through the lens of his favourite genre which means he doesn't really know shit about game design
He couldn't play a strategy game or a multiplayer game, for example

>that ending

Judging By The Cover > ZP

I mean he's reviewed halo wars and PUBG and even seemed to like the latter. Considering how different games are it's hard to expect someone to be able to objectively judge a wide swath of games.
I myself would not be the one to come talk to regarding fighting games. I have contempt for the very idea. I'll play basically everything else though.

He's "funny" in the same way that late night comedian guys are "funny", in that he is formulaic, and moves too fast for you to properly analyze how retarded and manipulative he actually is, exotic accent optional.

I played and enjoyed some of his video games, and now I'm enjoying finally getting around to Mogworld. Maybe trying a bit hard at being Terry Pratchett at first, but now it's gotten pretty good. I might check out Differently Morphous next.

holy shit, that was a lot better than i was expecting

thanks for that one, user. haven't had a good laugh like that in a while

I often go through those yearly playlists of his videos. It doesn't wear off, and he seems to try and vary his approach every few weeks. I'm sure he's his worst critic, and I like that blatantly bashes Trump when so many in his field shy away from it entirely.

Take a shot every time he uses "in and of itself." You'll be dead after the third video. And his cutting has gotten a lot worse. Maybe that, or I'm just noticing it more. It's quite jarring.

It's called figurative language. His writing is drenched with it. Some of it misses, but most of it ranges from competent to "Jesus fucking Christ" hilarious.

Is this supposed to be a bad thing? It sounds to me like he's managed to find a way to make his retardation into comedy gold, something that most actual retards have trouble doing without making people feel uncomfortable.

I'd recommend "will save the Galaxy for food" before differently morphous. But I like sci-fi.

There's definitely a couple game types he likes
Point and click adventure/puzzle types(Unavowed/Obra Dinn)
Anything that feels like a space explorer (Elite Dangerous/Star Control/FTL)
Life Sims(Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley)

>when the game presents options, always plays in a cheap, no fun allowed one-trick way with no variety
He is going to shit on DMC V because he hates the characters and doesn't understand any combat system other than boring defensive souls combat. He will literally spam stinger, use every gold orb available and complain how useless everything is and how much of a neckbeard faggot you are for trying to style.

>it's hard to expect someone to be able to objectively judge a wide swath of games.
thats what people who understand game design can do
I dont like fighting games either, but I can understand what makes them appealing
Yahtzee can only judge games based on one archetype which puts him below most Yea Forums users honestly

>Blatantly bashes Trump
I'm a huge Trumptard but at least his jokes at the current administration rise above the orange man bad we've been recently mired in.

That's objectively not true though. All you've done is loosely try and define most games and say he's a cunt for liking the good ones.

>How is this man so funny
He isn't.

lol
Yahtzee likes single player narrative focused action-adventure games
If you think that's just all games perhaps you need to broaden your horizons

ZP is comedy genius, prove me wrong.

youtube.com/watch?v=Lf9egxQsZyY

I'm creasing.

>dislikes JRPGs
>puts Persona 5 as one of his top games of the year
What did he mean by this?

And jrpgs with stories he likes, and trucking games, and sandbox games (just cause 2, saints row2), and adventure games, and fast paced shooters.
Try to think before you type stupid shit.

all of those fit under the loose category I mentioned
He doesn't understand multiplayer games or any games without a narrative that focus on gameplay

Look at this big brained gentleman

zero punctuation is unfun and monotonous
dunkey is a braindead zoomer but can still be entertaining and sometimes right
im really getting tired of autists with 2 hour long rambles about shit I dont care about, like matthewmatosis, raycevick, etc

You're just using a purposefully loose title so that you can dismiss literally any game that doesn't fit your narrative because there's a text box somewhere with story in it

yes, what's your point? He doesn't understand games that focus on gameplay. That leaves a pretty large hole in someones understanding of game design

Yahtzee was too casual to make it past an early stage of Demon Souls and gave up citing the game as some slam head into brick wall shit. Then he turns around and dickrides the souls series hard

>jc2
>sr2
>games with narratives that do not focus on gameplay
You're just retarded and can't accept you're wrong

It's part life sim

If you're trying to imply those games focus on gameplay you don't understand video games either

No its not. Fuck off and take your shitty goalposts with you.

>literally the definition of sandbox games
>have different gameplay elements to support it
>no focus on gameplay
Now you're just pretending to be retarded, or maybe you are and you just need attention.

Explain now how saints row is not game play focused.
Explain now how Elite Dangerous is Narrative focused.

that's not gameplay, it's just play, as in, like a toy. Games have a challenge that needs to be overcome. Fuck-around sandbox games are not gameplay focused

context=narrative focused apparently

>games with only gameplay elements and barely any story are not gameplay focused
Whatever lets you sleep at night, retard.

LDO really is top-tier comfy. Which question was yours?

Attached: bear.png (422x309, 99K)

What the fuck is up with this autistic redditor and his stupid definitions of gameplay?

you missed what 'gameplay' meant

I'd be curious to see the stats on those videos because I can't imagine most people actually sitting through a two-hour video of one person talking about one game the whole time.

look up the formal definition of a game retard

You don't know what gameplay means

That's literally what Yahtzee said in his review that he enjoyed it in part because of the routine + relationship building a la Mass Effect. From the Persona 5 review:
>I suppose Stardew Valley has shown me that I get easily absorbed by day-to-day life simulators

>persona 5 is not a JRPG
Yeah, fuck off, take your goalposts and attentionwhoring out and kill yourself.

I asked them to do the James Lipton questions from the Thief 2 video. They made fun of my screen name so hard I changed it.

I'm glad I got in before they started only taking questions from Reddit. I don't go there.

They're way easier to listen to when it's background noise. If anyone said to me they watched a Noah Gervais video all the way through and did nothing else but "watch" the same fucking footage that plays throughout his video I'd call them a faggot and walk away laughing

You don't
You're going by the informal definition where it just means any sort of interaction with the video game
Yahtzee barely plays any truly gameplay focused games, mostly because he's adverse to multiplayer but he doesn't play any single player ones either

I'm not a delusional retard pretending to be smart like you. But hey if that makes you happy, go ahead and believe that. Sweet dreams, user.

I didn't say it's not a JRPG, I said it's part life sim. He found that some of the game's features make it more interesting to him than a JRPG that doesn't have said features which is most of them

Knowing what words mean doesn't make me delusional
quite the opposite

What are you a smash Bros fan?

>he thinks he knows what words mean
how cute

no

Why not? You must just hate multiplayer/gameplay focused games.

theres one game and then there's an entire category of games

It being part a sim game doesn't take away from it being a JRPG, nor the fact that Yahtzee hates JRPGs and yet puts P5 as one of the best games of the year. Saying that he views other games you vaguely put in categories under only his favorite genre is wrong. You're wrong. Fuck off and kill yourself

This is one of the best ones he ever did, nothing will ever top Mailbag Showdown though.

Nah I'm gonna act retarded like you and just say you hate good things

I didn't say he hates them, he just doesn't understand them, he can only appreciate video games as a narrative/aesthetic experience which is barely half the equation

Well it's obviously more commendable if a genre you regularly dislike does something to make you like it. He didn't like the combat, he literally casualbabbed his way through it by ramping down difficulty on bosses.

That's just wrong though

Kill yourself

What's everyone's favourite LDO? The one I come back to the most has to be Papers Please and Oregon Trail.

I already pointed out that he only plays the aforementioned type of game, and when he does try a multiplayer game he has absolutely no basis from which to form an opinion on it because he doesn't understand what makes them fun

He knows what makes them fun, though? Which is why he tries to get his friends to play them with him. Hell, he even enjoyed Rocket League without friends.

This post is paradoxical. He can't both play and not play those games

>he can only appreciate video games as a narrative/aesthetic experience which is barely half the equation
Yeah must be why he's so positive about all those cinematics experience with no gameplay.

Oh wait

he mentions all the time how he doesn't like multiplayer games, and he doesn't play any gameplay focused single player games either like any strategy game

Oregon Trail and Harvest Moon are both great.

That show sucked
Gabe was an unfunny fuck, and the games he brought on he couldn't even finish most of the time

>how he doesn't like multiplayer games
What's your point? He still knows and understands what makes multiplayer games fun.
He's played strategy games too like FTL, Pikmin, or Halo wars if you can count that.

They weren't meant to be finished you fucking zoomer

probably Sims 3, i like virtual gabe and yahtzee's hijinks

my point is he doesn't like any gameplay focused games
naming a few exceptions doesn't change that, not that I'd call pikmin or halo wars strategy games

oops FTL has context in a story try again sweaty

>FTL
>not a strategy game
Keep moving goalposts, cunt

And you're wrong because you've still not proved it without vaguely changing the definitions

His jokes are repetitive but I can always spare 5 minutes for my boi.

>doesn't like gameplay focused games
>sucks Dark souls dick every chance he gets
Pikmin and Halo wars are literally RTS games made for consoles, try again.

What fucking year is it? Did I go back in time?

>you've still not proved it
Look at the list of the games he's reviewed dumbass

HES GONNA TAKE YOU BACK TO THE PAST

Dark Souls is one of the only exceptions, but everyone likes Dark Souls anyway. Arguing with exceptions doesn't prove anything, respond with something intelligent, stop being butthurt I said something about your favourite video game critic
Just because something controls like an RTS doesn't make it a strategy game

>they're exceptions because they prove me wrong
>Just because something controls like an RTS doesn't make it a strategy game
You're genuinely retarded, seek help.

we get it, you play grand strategy games

An exception doesn't prove a generalization wrong

Watching the Escapist ebb and flow this past decade has been surreal. From the high mark when they not only had ZP and Unskippable but also animations like Apocalypse Lane and Unforgotten Realm, as it slowly weakened and sickened as all of those but ZP ended, and the Erin comics died, rebooted, and died again, and all the features left like rats fleeing a sinking ship. Until finally there wasn't much left but Yahtzee, doing ZP and sometimes By The Cover, the last pulse of life in the Escapist's husk, which we came to occasionally just to watch it finally die. Only it didn't. For years. Yahtzee single-handedly held up the Escapist like fucking Atlas for YEARS until people felt brave enough to stick their toes in again. There's a new Erin comic now, for example, weekly, and it's alright. I don't understand how a person can do that.

I'll never forgive the fucking idiot for thinking the first credits (during which is a cutscene and immediately after which is a hint of what to do next) of Gravity Rush 2 was the end of the game. Fucking moronic retard, even a fucking child could have figured that shit out. Retard.

His Monster Hunter and Samus Returns videos proved he's too dumb to play video games. And he writes like a budget Terry Pratchett.

Generalizations are valid points in the correct context. Like if lung cancer killed 95% of people who had it, saying "lung cancer is deadly" would be correct and you would be incorrect in saying "no it isn't because I know one person who survived". You're making the childish mistake of assuming just because I made a generalization I'm making a fallacious argument

how low is your IQ?

He still complained at the end of his Gravity Rush 2 review that they didn't explain Kat's backstory at all because he stopped playing at the faux credits and Kat's backstory was explained in a sequence with the true ending shortly after said faux credits

Yahtzee answered one of my questions and he said it was a "good call." This is the highlight of my life so far.

sage

Anyone else legit gay for Yahtzee? I'm jealous of his girlfriend because she gets to be around him all the time. I wish I was his girlfriend.

So did I. He's not perfect but he knows his shit. Accepts that he dislikes genres but will concede if certain games do something well. Shits on games if they do something bad. If you get butthurt because he hated a game you like then that's on you m8.

What a fucking odd standard. Would you expect a film critic to viscerally understand the appeal for every single type of film?

Let's Drown Out is the best thing Yahtzee has ever done, and Fully Ramblomatic had its moments too.

Feels good rite?

Not that I know of. Keep it classy (Gabe's new thing) isn't bad when its mostly gabe talking.

I don't hate him, but I hate what he's spurred. The cynical, witty archetype of vidya "content creators" is a fucking cancer and he, along with TotalBiscuit are almost entirely to blame for it. This tryhard nihilist garbage is what kills discussion and genuine critique, the idea that nothing can be good. I hate this jaded, bitter outlook that has come from it in regards to literally everything on the internet nowadays. People prefer to be angry and witty for the sake of a few chuckles and praise, than genuinely happy these days.

and then gabe just talks for most of the video whilst aaron points out things in the game occasionally

But he says he does and when he'll recommend shit like Spec Ops the Line and Bioshock: Infinite, Yahtzee's main problem as a critic is that he likes games that make him feel smart and different for liking them, but when a game comes out that actually does have an interesting narrative like say Planescape or New Vegas the narrative aspect of it completely flies over his inbred limey head.

He's just a pseudo-intellectual that can't really think for himself.

If he just went "huh neat" I would've heard him talk about how fucking abysmal the actual gameplay of both SO:tL and B:I were but I didn't because he went on about how smart he felt when he was gushing about both twists. If he just went "huh neat" both of those games would've have ended up on his GOTY list. You Yahtzee fanboys are about as braindead as the man himself.

Yahtzee has said in plain English that his favorite games are a mix of gameplay and story, especially when the gameplay and story compliment one another, and you can see that in the examples you just posted. In fact, he has said one of the reasons he no longer likes adventure games is because they're too focused on story.
>Yahtzee's main problem as a critic is that he likes games that make him feel smart and different for liking them, but when a game comes out that actually does have an interesting narrative like say Planescape or New Vegas the narrative aspect of it completely flies over his inbred limey head.
Not true at all, he tried to get into Planescape but he found it monotonously wordy, which is a perfectly valid criticism. I don't think New Vegas is as interesting in the narrative department as it's memed to be around here, but it's clear that he didn't even play it very much. He did a small loop around the map and stopped. Yahtzee has said before that he finds it hard to get into Bethesda style RPGs in the first place because they're so buggy and shoddy and technically incompetent. The entire point of his New Vegas review was basically "roleplaying in this is impossible and it feels like an expansion pack for Fallout 3."

The gameplay of Spec Ops: The Line was fine, not abysmal. The gameplay of BioShock: Infinite was pretty good for a console shooter. Skylines are one of the best things ever put into a console shooter, tears were a fun novelty, Elizabeth throwing items at you and the franticness of the combat makes it feel scrappy and swashbuckling in a good way. Though obviously in either case you're really there for story, and he isn't trying to hide that fact.

>Skylines are one of the best things ever put into a console shooter, tears were a fun novelty, Elizabeth throwing items at you and the franticness of the combat makes it feel scrappy and swashbuckling in a good way.
You literally just said the same shit yahtzee said but rearranged in a slightly different way, get the fuck out of my face you retarded fan boy.

See, that's the thing. This guy is so good at what he does that he kept an entire website from crashing and burning.
What ever happened to the Unskippable guys though? I really liked that show as well, but I'm a sucker for the riffing genre so applying that to video game cutscenes was right up my alley.

I remember Yahtzee saying the combat had a swashbuckling feel to it, but nothing else. He definitely didn't say skylines are one of the best things ever put into a console shooter, but they definitely are exactly that.

is this the gravity rush autist again

>made bioshock infinite his GOTY 2013
I couldn't have dropped that stupid faggot any harder.

Yeah, the two weapon limit, retarded respawn mechanic, and the broken and nonsensical upgrade system are great additions to the combat.

Fucking idiot

No, despite the fact that I just shit on him we both share the opinion that faggy anime games are rarely ever actually good.

Okay, but have you done the math and calculated that 95% of his reviews meet your arbitrary criteria?
No? You just use big number as an argumentation tactic?
Absolute brainlet move there, lad.
You have to remember that 31.4159% of statistics like that are made up on the spot.

He has 5-10 jokes that he has been remixing for what, a decade now? So if you find him funny you're probably just new and not tired of his dumb shit yet

>Yeah, the two weapon limit, retarded respawn mechanic, and the broken and nonsensical upgrade system are great additions to the combat.
None of these things are actually impede enjoyment of the game very much though, they're just obviously clumsily implemented when you analyze them closely. Nobody is going to say "those things are actually GOOD" but you're completely exaggerating how much they actually matter. Matthewmatosis isn't wrong in his criticisms, but most of them are about how the game didn't live up to its potential or the design was haphazard. He's going into it with a very particular axe to grind. He even says towards the end of the video that he wasn't even trying to provide a balanced view of the game, he has been hard on it, and he has neglected to mention some of the things it does well. He just wanted to point out that the over-the-top praise that BioShock: Infinite received was fucking retarded.

she cute

>None of these things are actually impede enjoyment of the game very much though, they're just obviously clumsily implemented when you analyze them closely.
He's a fucking critic you moron, he's supposed to analyze them closely that's his job. Even if it wasn't you're still wrong, I've played it and these issues are very noticeable unless you're playing on fucking easy.

Critics are not obligated to closely analyze the things you want them to analyze. They decide on what they want to talk about.
>Even if it wasn't you're still wrong, I've played it and these issues are very noticeable unless you're playing on fucking easy.
Okay, but maybe instead of criticizing some minor shit that's merely "noticeable" Yahtzee would prefer to talk about what's actually interesting about the game because he isn't going into it trying to perform a WWE Smackdown on it? A two weapon limit combined with weapon upgrades isn't some kind of terrible issue that ruins the game or whatever, it's just redundant and confused, but it only reveals itself to be an issue on the highest difficulty (not just easy), and shitty high difficulty settings was basically standard for when the game came out.

Man Yea Forums is so contrarian it's epic! Simply epic!

I watch MovieBob and think he is valuable because of his extensive knowledge and experience but his opinions are pure shit
