i know he said before he thinks Simpsons went downhill after season *five*, which I always thought was absurd, but if he is saying it's better than Simpsons has been from 2013 - 2023 then that's incredibly faint praise. If he's saying that it was better than PEAK Simpsons, from 1989 - 1999 then he might have said one of the dumbest takes of all time
Since he had a strong dislike of Borderlands' writing, I was expecting a completely different tone to the one we got. It's the same thing - gameplay doesn't feel good, the plot is just not there, the reddit-tier humor still isn't funny no matter under how many layers of (faux) irony it boils, with the only interesting feature being occasional nice views overshadowed by the mediocre character design. The whole video feels like Yahtzee is trying to defend his baby-boo NotFunny McWifeBeats from the few people that both still have an acceptable taste in videogames and watch his content
It had two alright seasons and then the humour dove out of a cliff, the only consistent thing about the comedy is how unfunny it is and the tone literally changes between episodes from "heartwaming for redditors" and "incredibly dark and mean spirited"
Yahtzee is smart enough to realise that ZP is what made him, and has openly acknowledged it allows him to pursue other projects. Compare that to Troonquisition, who expects to coast off shit he doesn't do anymore, and wonders why his career has stalled.
The quality definitely decreased though and I wonder how much play time current games have compared to the past.
Well I don't know, half of his reviews are of 5 hour long indie trash, so he probably does play them to completion. Except for all the ones he openly admits he hasn't...
Nah, mo like if he dares to do it, the people in Cali will burn down his house or spit in his Starbucks latte.
>he was doing a stream for trans lifeline and looked like he wanted to be anywhere else
It's the usual current year case of having two female characters that don't interact throughout the entire game only to have a scene implying one is attracted to the other during the ending credits which most people skip.
What do you think was peak Yahtzee then? His content for the past decade has more or less been the exact same to me. I think the only real difference is he focuses on pretentious indie games somewhat more than he did a decade ago. All the rest is the same. Same amount of political sperging, similar style of edgy humor, similar "story sucks single player is boring multiplayer is I'm not playing it" etc.
2010's when his videos still had novelty, new games were worth speaking about and you couldn't know yet everything he was going to say purely by the game's genre and budget.
Watch Extra Punctuation if you haven't. He's much more interesting nowadays when he's talking about design rather than just bitching about spunkgargleweewee for the 50th time.
