I agree with him on some points and disagree on others... but I don't find his schtick to be funny.

Fair enough.

But in any review, some will agree, some will disagree, no? Do you like cheesecake? I bet if you got 100 people with 100 guns, someone would end up dead, over cheesecake.

most accurate review of this game in all the history of reviews of this game.

If by review you mean "did the main story and quit" then sure. Of course, that's like 1/50th of the game. What he and so many others do not get is that the rich story isn't found on dialogues nor is it shoved in your face. The best stories in the game are found on terminals, notes, carefully placed skeletons and holotapes. Just like in Skyrim where most of the stories are in books and notes and the placement of set pieces.

"show me, don't tell me" is a concept most gamers are oblivious to, and it makes me sad.

Also, saying there is no challenge means he played on normal which should really be called easy, because it's a joke.

I have seen a lot of people say they played on hardest, and after level 25 - 40 it's still too easy.

Not gone that far myself, but it's out there as a general opinion.

After having played much of this game (and one possible ending) ... I have to say I agree with a lot of it. They put a new coat of paint on but they didn't fix many of the really annoying things like pathfinding. So much of this game is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥' tedious and they could have polished it better.

But yeah, this is Todd Howard's game design. Pack the world full of ♥♥♥♥ even though a lot of it doesn't make sense. This is an incremental improvement over Fallout 3 but a step back from New Vegas quality.

So I haven't finished the game yet, did that thing just completely spoil the main-story for me? Or is he just talking nonsence when he says Shaun is an animatronic child? Sounds like hes might be saying shaun is some kind of pre-war generation 3 quality synth? Making me, the "backup" possibly a synth as well? But guess it might just be a comment on animation quality?

I realize I don't want the answer to my own question, since for now, I can try to convince myself he was talking nonsence and I didn't just get spoiled from watching the first minute of that review, but I might have a hard time to succeed with that.

Welcome to the wonderful world of British sarcastic analogy humour. ^_^

I don't get how they were confused - it was a pre-war baby MC had with their partner. Where's the confusion?

Wait he does this for every game? No wonder the escapist has become such a joke.

Yahtzee is extremely good at what he does. :)

Oh look, someone else who decided to hate the game before it even came out posted a review, I'm shocked :P

Because everyone who disagree's with your opinion is a hater, whereas if they entirely agree with you, they are obviously unbiased and deserving of having an opinion?

[ubik]

This game doesn't need apologists. It has sold extremely well.

If you decide to hate something BEFORE you have experienced it, you are not unbiased. If you decide to hate something for whatever reason AFTER then all the power to you. HOWEVER if you are going to review something and you are not unbiased then you are doing both yourself AND the reviewed source a disservice.
The escapist has become nothing better than the gaming equivalent of shock "journalism" and I cringe to even apply the term journalism.

Satire is a legitimate form of criticism.

Transformers Age of Extinction deserves Academy Awards then?

Don´t use sales as argument as there is a TON of stuff that results in sales, quality being only one of them. To think only quality matters is being ignorant.
