  • "I'm not a fanboy" "Yes you are."

    XD

  • Well i really like this one but i agree for brawl it just wasnt as fun as everyone says

  • is it strange that this guy is my hero?

  • Why do I have the niggling feeling he doesn't actually love me.

    *goes to cry in her emo corner*

  • 3:42 "Princess Peach is a whore" Think everyone knows that by now :P No big surprise here

  • I think the reason pepole love SSBB is because it's a mix of Platforming and Fighting, all with Nintendo characters. of course pepole love it: it's like a Nintendo-fanboys wet dream.

    i fond it okay that he don't like it, especially since he hates 60-85% of all games he get.... and he get MANY games!

  • I may not agree with everything that Mr. Croshaw says. I may find something enjoyable while he sees it as a flaw. I may be EXTREMELY jealous that he gets paid to do this kind of thing(lucky bastard). In spite of all that, I don't understand the need people feel to send hate mail. Especially with such atrocious grammar and spelling. I know my grammar and spelling isn't perfect (without spell check) but it is also not personal so there is less need for such things.

  • the xbox dog made me lol

  • dammit couldn't find any hate comments to rape...

  • It all comes down to opinion. People need to understand that.

  • i don't think i tell you enough: I LOVE YOU.

  • some people are just stupid. if you like it good, if you dont fine, stop complaining about what Yahtzee has to say about it

  • My xbox broke today. Thanks for reminding me -.-

  • X X (shit) .... "WELL I LOVED IT!"

    (dead)

  • You do have a point, xboxs need to go outs

  • Wouldn't a two-way looking glass be...a window?

  • The comment on the X-Box reminded of a picture I saw on One Stop Humor com. It said "X-Box: you spill a drop of water? THREE RINGS OF DEATH!! Nitendo 64: Ohh, you dropped the T.V. on me? no worries! lets keep playing!!" I miss the old days.

  • HARASHLY

  • Whenever people bitch about ZP I always just feel like linking this video at them. Since it usually takes down a lot of the common arguments people have about him, and it saves me the trouble of being accused of defending someone who doesn't give a shit about my fan-ish-ness and thus being a hypocrite.

  • I enjoyed SSBB but I have to defend the defender in his case.

    When I see people trashing a game I love, It doesn't make me question whether I truly liked it, I want to try and show why I liked it and why you might not have. I agree these people are asshats but your stance on that particular point I find to be ludicrous. Plus you do tend to focus mainly on the "bad" parts of games. You briefly mentioned what you liked then spend the next 3-4 odd minutes nagging about what you hated.

  • @daandriod You know this isn't "his" youtube and he'll never ever ever see this comment, right?

  • @romanmonaghan He's replied to my posts before. I once offered to buy the games for him for cheap in the U.S., and he replied that it would cost more for me to buy it in the U.S. and then ship it to australia.

  • @SDReaper2009 A story for your children's children no doubt...

  • @romanmonaghan Remember right after posting the comment and was to lazy to delete. ._.

  • @daandriod Because other people need 'you' to tell them why they didnt like something you like...

  • You need to do more of these

  • 4:08 is the answer to all console wars

  • I come back to this one, once in a while. It just completely slays me. :D

  • His Brawl review barely even attacked the game, it attacked Nintendo's constant reuse of gaming franchises and fighting games as button mashers. It was really not aimed at the game at all. His strongest point against the game was that he and his friends said "Meh." at it.

    He did tell fanboys to troll his inbox though, that's probably what required the Showdown.

  • Yahtzee meets strong bad email xD

    But seriously, these reviews are mostly satire and making fun of ventures. If you want a solid review for mindless consumers who use grading systems and crap go to IGN...

  • Lol yahtzee's reives are helpful he hates alot fo things i hate and likes almost nothing (kinda like me) Yet i have a nicely sized video game collection a lot of them yahtzee has called bad. Why? because a lot of game out now ARE BAD. The newest released game I truly enjoyed and still play to this day was Kingdom Hearts 2. I am not a Square enix fanboy nor a Disney fanboy. It was just an overall good game in my opinion

  • Four. As in Fork you.

  • Comment removed

  • Eight months. One dislike. Says something. Just saying. It's too bad you hate us all Yahtzee, because WE LOVE YOU!! (seriously, fuck the bastard raping the dislike button. Even the dislike button wishes he were dead.)

  • I love the fake names that were given.

  • 3:33 "bleb bleb bleb bleb

  • Is it wrong that to me the funniest part of the video was the way he pronounced "review" at around the 1:13 mark?

  • Professional Troll?

    since when is hate mail about complimenting the person you intend to insult?

  • love how he grades them

  • This guy is awesome, funnest guy I have seen on youtube in a long time.

  • Has any one else noticed how many times he uses the image of David Hasselhoff?

  • 2:00 haha look at the name

  • I like his style of reviewing and I have to agree brawl did not live up to the press and hype it got, and I also have to agree that nintendo is losing its creativity lately

  • @SuperZero9000 Just like every single fucking "big name" company since CoD.

  • Bit ironic that ZERO PUNCTUATION is correcting grammer here..

  • @CoolDudesJunk you've just broken the 4th wall...hope you're proud of yourself

  • "I like to think I review for everyone." If he isn't lying this means nobody likes to play multiplayer.

  • @zion50500 best comment ever.

  • Love the dog analogies xD

  • As a nintendo fanboy I am contractually obligated to say FUCK YOU. (It was made clear when I signed up.)

    Good video though. Just...inhale sometimes

  • @LeoWarrior14 NO INHALING, THERE WILL BE ZERO PUNCTUATION!

  • You have to admit, he's completely right about everything that he's ever talked about in this and all of his other videos.

  • GO TEAM RETARD! XD

  • Genius. Pure fucking genius.

  • capt obvious (retired) LMAO

  • so close to being white enough, i only have the 360 and the Wii. still need a pc that can handle gaming and i guess a ps3 if not to only say i have everything until the next release of everything again

  • omg I was in tears the whole video

  • Honestly people why do you even bother telling him he's wrong u know he's just going to shit on u and make u look like a Gient dick beast

  • Lol that was a great response video to hate mail XD

  • UR COOL!!!

  • I love you too Yahtzee..

  • Owned the complaints there.....

  • wow. Yahtzee really showed you guys. Go team retard. He is right after all. If you've played the other two ssb games then you've already played ssbb. I personally didn't like it as much though

  • FOURK YOU

  • i find he has a valid argument, if he didn't complain about every little thing he would just be the average person. Hes supposed to be a game critic. If he didn't complain about everything then he would just be another of those thousands of game critics who no one gives a shit about. Also any valid game should be able to stand up one single player, (as pointed out multiple times by him) for if it can't then it shouldn't be single player in the first place.

  • You gotta appreciate his ability to rape stupid arguments :D

  • @ReducedToAsh Of course. Whoever doesn't is a complete retard. I think if he wasn't a game critic, he could be the best lawyer of all time

  • there are some things i don't agree with when it comes to Yahtzee, but i cannot deny that i find his reviews hilarious and if this video proved anything its that there are still people out there that argue with critics for criticizing and continue to swear and curse every reviewer for saying their favorite game is bad, just to feel the dribble of sperm in their pants when they think they've actually made a valid argument.

  • Anything is possible when you stop being retarded

  • @D3adMan1145 ... Except being a retard.

  • @LUKE070069 tu'sha

  • death to xbox =D

  • He shut down some people. Quite funny

  • Misanthrope.

  • why do peeps hate him hes my faveourite reviewer

  • nice one XD shoot them in flames

  • My favorite part, the grammar revisions while he's talking.

  • I like Brawl but I don't care much for the "Fans" I play agianst online. Using cheat moves but caling it sklll. Making brawl clans and trying to be number one and getting mad at you for not trying too as well. Getting pissed because I beat them with Kirby even though they claim he's weak...maybe I should do a review.

  • He missed the lack of an apostrophe in "don't". *gasp*

  • I find it humorous that this is zero punctuation and most of the corrections he makes to the emails are punctuation mistakes.

  • I suppose mail like this is why non-virgins and those infuriating anti-video game fucks look down upon gamers and users of the internet

  • I like SSBB and I think this is hilarious. I hate people who think the things they like are perfect in every way. Everything has its faults, and its only proven more when your in denial about everything.

  • I still don't quite understand why fat idiot retards truly believe that not only does a review need "scores" (see everyone at Newgrounds), but why they also feel the need to whiteknight something that clearly doesn't need it.

  • even though i love the games he hates. i still love him :D

  • Y U NO DO THIS FOR EVERYTHING!?  ITS HILARIOUSNESSFUCK!

  • Rule #1: EVERYone is a fanboy. If you say you're not, you're a HUGE fanboy.

  • @perun1nj Oh dear...

  • whats the song at the end

  • @TheDragonl91 I will murder you 4:26

  • "white enough to afford all consoles" HA!

  • How come the rest of youtube manages to make sync videos but you do not, Yahtzee?

  • @Luzagal probably because he doesn't really give much crap about you tube since he has his own site for uploading these

  • people don't understand the difference between a critic and a review xD

  • Now, would Team Retard care to step out and receive it's award for "Completely Fail to Realize The Definition of the Word 'Opinion'"?

  • the bit about the 360 at the end made me laugh out loud

  • three in a row clearly  clearly clearly

    :P

  • Honestly, I can be patient if He brings me my slippers. <3

  • Woot, nothing bad about ps3 console!

  • Best episode of the series. While it's certainly fun to watch Yahtzee make fun of games that were developed with varying degrees of competency, it's not quite as good as watching him rip the fanboys a new one.

  • Fucking brilliant Yahtzee!

  • THAT WAS AMAZING!

    

  • I don't get how they are offended by other people's opinions of their liked game. I mean, if Yahtzee hates it, what on earth does that do to you? I love Smash Bros Brawl, but I thought the review was really funny. Perhaps on the off chance I ever meet the guy, God forbid I might play something else with him for entertainment.

  • It's amazing, the mail he got was the same self-riteous "You must have misinterpreted your own feelings, because obviously this game is Jesus and you're obviously SuperHitler" crap you reae in YouTube comments, just with slightly better grammwr and spelling.

  • I love this guy so huggy wuggy much (quote) but I will admit sometimes he is a bit harsh on games, but he has his opinion, I have mine, and I still piss myself because he is hilarious

  • I'd really like to know Yahtzee personally just so i could have arguments with him just so i could listen to his amazing counter-arguments

  • Maan i fell to the floor, when i heard this. KEPP IT GOING MAN !

  • Generally, the PC is the puppet master of the "console war" because it has 90% of the stuff the 2 best consoles have ( the ones that aren't the Wii) and a butt load of exclusive titles. Just get the console you like, then get a PC for everything that isn't on it.

  • @MisterPeople25 I completely disagree with this, no matter how much I love the PC. The only thing the PC get's exclusive to it are mainly indie games and they're swiftly becoming more available to consoles. No matter how superior the PC is to consoles, in terms of experience and graphics, the PC is pushed around completely by the console market due to the fact that the mass majority of people own a console as their system of choice.

  • Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip

  • 0:27 I was drinking tea at that point and almost choked

  • I see his point, he's a critic, his job is to criticize and everytime he DOES say something positive he gets whined at again by the same twatblankets who were mad that he didn't like something!

  • when i grow up i want to be like ZP, you know, since nearly almost every one hates me already.

  • Princess Peach is a whore. lmao

  • Ugh this audio rip stinks.

    Is yahtzee the only person working for the escapist who can do anything right?

  • And the PC is the warlord who watches and laughs.

  • @NavinToast the most enjoyable thing about the PC is that you can jury rig it to do almost anything, barring hardware, and when the mythical level hardware eventually shows itself you can fold that in too. Basically its a gaming platform that never goes out of style and waits for you to deposit money in it....

  • @ks610 I know I'm just saying the consoles fight to see who's the best and the pc just sits there and giggles as they fight because pcs (may not be cheap but they) the best way to play video games

  • @NavinToast Apparently it's the cat that thinks it's god because it's expensive and can do the exact same thing your dog can do, only less effectively and more smugly.

  • @YouGuysAreAHoles That sounds more like Macs to me.

  • @ROFLocpter Macs, PC's all the same.

  • @NavinToast after trying for hours to get the game working just to have it show errors.

  • @flamed112 you know you have to install it first instead of just shoving a disk in and waiting for it to make flashy lights and noises

  • @NavinToast i know...but usually after the game flings 100 errors at me before i can even start to pres the PLAY button

  • @flamed112 join the club, we've got jackets

  • @NavinToast That's true. If you don't actually have a life and have no idea what to do with your money.

  • lol, he needs to do more of these mailbag things

  • i love the names he gives them

  • want a number? well here's four as in FUCK YOU! >_<

    

  • ... Nintendo fan boys are just as bad as Xbox fanboys... Like me : (

  • I wonder how many of those "not a fanboy"s also sent in mail personally REQUESTING that he review SSBB, though I'm guessing a more accurate question would be how many personal requests those "not a fanboy"s sent in for a review of SSBB. I'm predicting the greatest figure count out of Mr. "Just because people want it doesn't mean he should do it". That's just displaying what Yahtzee has to say in every other video about why he's reluctant to take requests.

  • I actually don't remember much about your brawl review except that you didn't like it that much, and to that i say.....eh

  • "Speaking as a person who is white enough to afford all gaming consoles"

    So edgy xD

  • He hates every game he reviews, that's kinda his thing. So why on earth do people get worked up when he points out every flaw in whatever god awful game they enjoy so much?

  • GO TEAM RETARD! X D

  • There's nothing quite as satisfying as watching Yahtzee rip the fanboys a new one.

  • Haters dont like when theres a professional hater (a critic) amongst them, doing their job in a very amusing and entertaining way...

  • Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha­.

  • hahaha so true!

  • I think this is my favourite video from yahtzee.

    Given, I don't agree with a few things he says, but nobody can deny the hilarity of his reviews, even when he's slamming your favourite game (in my case, Metal Gear, Oblivion, Turok, etc.) he's just taking the piss. Harden the f##k up, Youtube...

  • I found it hilarious how he's "Zero Punctuation", yet he went through and corrected all their punctuation. Deliciously ironic :)

  • I forgot how to spell Yahtzee in my last comment. Lol

  • I don't know why but I enjoy him picking apart games I love (like Transformers, Halo and F.E.A.R 2). In most cases he has a point, and if you disagree you can just move onto something else. I never understand fans that demand an objective review... The whole point of a review is subjective. It's what makes them fun. I lolled at some of the typos in the letter. Poor Yatzee must have sorted through some shockers.

  • *really; it

  • A joke:

    Why did Yahtzee go UNDER a bridge?

    Now give me a hundred thumbs up and I'll tell you the punchline.

  • @Jcolinsol to be a professional troll

  • Now without further ado; Go team retard!

  • dont. fuck. with. yahtzee.

  • ''You like numbers? How 'bout four, as in FOURCK YOU!''

    I love this guy.

  • The out of sync audio is rather irritating!

  • @atomicmrpelly It wasn't out of sync for me. Didn't change any settings or anything so thats odd.

  • @Br0adHead Definitely is for me...

  • @atomicmrpelly

    This is one of his older videos so what do you expect?

  • @Telamon8 It doesn't play out of sync on the Escapist website.

  • @atomicmrpelly I knew I wasn't crazy!

  • Brawl just sucked. I'm not sure how he would handle melee as i believe melee to be the best fighting game of all time (yes better than SF or MK and if you don't believe me look up tourney matches. Fucking unbelievable how fast the game is). The problem with brawl was that it was slow, boring, luck based, and basically encouraged camping and spamming projectiles... Oh, and if you want to win 100% of time choose metaknight and have your friend be anyone else.

  • @BonJoviFanboy he would obviously say the same thing about melee, tho ur obvious fanboyism towards melee is shown here, the things he said about brawl can pretty much be said about melee aswell. Infact it can already be answered with him saying that he just simply doesnt enjoy fighters, tho he enjoyed the simple concept of mario beating the ever loving crap out of the peach while the crowd screams for u to do more, he just cant get into it.

  • You know. SSBB is an alright game, but Melee was better I do have to say. The story concept was cool in Brawl, but on almost all of Yahtzee's reviews I have found that he is pretty much dead on with all the games. Most of the time he will bash a game and still say it's a good game and that's saying something. Also remember guys/gals you play the game you have your own opinion.

  • The fanboys sure invest a lot of time and effort into demonstrating what immature whiny pricks they are. I have watched Yahtzee's rants about games I really like, such as Symphony of the Night, and I totally enjoyed them. Even if the game is awesome, Yahtzee has a talent for finding the few annoying things about it and plucking them apart in hilarious ways. And even though those things don't affect the overall game much, he is mostly right in his criticism.

  • Easily my favorite episode. I like SSBB, but I love seeing Yahtzee lay into the fanboys.

  • HATERS GONNA HATTTEEEEE!! 

  • Loved the description of the 3 systems.

    Yahtzee has bashed plenty of games Ive liked but he does it in a humorous manner that makes it worth the 3-4 minutes it takes to listen to him because its hilarious.

  • This video makes me want to go to Australia, find out where Yahtzee lives, break into his home with my arm raised and...

    give him a huge high five! (and then figure out how I got the money to get to australia and figure out where he lives)

  • When I first was introduced to Yahtzee's reviews, I've been subscribed to this channel and checked on his videos every week on the EM website. While I may not agree with all of his reviews, I hardly go all butthurt from it and start sending hatemail(You should learn a thing call PERSONAL OPINION you haters).

    In the end, Yahtzee is still a god damn great reviewer with a creative and funny way to show his reviews.

  • It makes me laugh how people assume Yahtzee actually cares what they think.

  • I like SSBB, But I also like Yahtzee, he critisies games I like, yeah.

    But their funny, and I don't really give a damn, So get out there Yahtzee you foul-mouthed plonker and do what you do best.

  • Go team retard!

  • yahtzee is so fucking smart.

  • I love these videos. Frankly, I don't understand why people hate on you for displaying the errors in these particular games; 99.9% of the time, your dead on. Even with the games I love.
