Is there anything meaningful being said? I don't think anyone likes those scenes that usually mask loading, or work as an alternative cutscenes after faggots like Yahtzee spend over a decade saying how cutscenes are bad game design and everything needs to be like Half Life.

He capitulates so much as the video goes. If the video went on a little longer he would end up defending the shit he is ranting about.
Draw a line in the sand like a man and blast all this talking with NPCs bullshit.
No more walking dialogue, no more press E to dialogue, no more cinematic dialogue.
 
New ZP review, from this point on all videos on Youtube will be censored due to Youtube demonetization, and you have to buy the Escapist membership for the uncensored versions. Also, the second game in this review had its embargo date changed suddenly a day before the review's release, so Yahtzee makes due by censoring any identifying features.

Hahaha what a selling point! "Uncensored, RAW Zero Punctuation" what a joke.
 
the escapist is getting really, really, really desperate. yahtzee not being able to even say "cunt" is gonna make this tailspin worse. videos that aren't ZP get from five to forty thousand views while yahtzee's raking in several hundred thousand each review. why hasn't he jumped ship? is it because he doesn't have anywhere to go? is his contract fucking him?
 
Boy, I can't wait to spend money to hear the uncensored version of a grown man saying "cockwaffle!"
Between shit like this and the ever increasing number of times I've had Youtube whine about my adblocker, I can see the metaphorical screws being turned as the money dries up.

Fuckin' rich, coming from a guy who's been putting barely pixelated dildos and at least one pedophile joke (Balan Wonderworld review) in his videos for years. I've seen countless creators get in trouble for way less than Yahtzee, to the point where I figured he got special favor from YouTube.

It's got to be the contract. Dude could make way more on Patreon with how well known he is.

Sounds like he's desperate for that ad revenue that he apparently needs to rely on now.
In case you were wondering and didn't peek in the comments, the second game is most likely Hellboy: Web of Wyrd.
 
October, 2016 Yahtzee: "Nigger nigger nigger nigger coon coon spic!"
October, 2023 Yahtzee: "My wife and my editor have me on a leash with a butt plug up my ass and a ball gag in my mouth."

I think it just hit him that he isnt needed anywhere. Not because hes crass (seriously fucker is more basic bitch than anything), its because his schtick was done and done better by others, while Yahtz remained the one trick hipster pony. Maybe he had better chances in the past, but that ship has sailed long ago. Now, hes just a typical /v/ motherfucker with a mic and MSPaint. As fo videos, Id say they def dipped in numbers when compared to the old ones that rained in millions.

Shouldn't have called JK a cunt
 
He should've made fun of trannies in the Hogwarts Legacy review and when they sent a bunch of hate-mail and angry comments, he could've done another mailbag showdown video, shitting on them even more.
Instead of, "Go team retard," he could've said "Go team sexpest."

I wonder how they're going to censor them. I'm expecting a really badly mixed bleep where the beep is louder than the rest of the video, or the same, but with a random sound yahtzee makes.
Edit: never mind, he gives a demonstration at the start of this vide.... I hope it isnt like this, this is stupid lol

It'a because IIRC youtube also demonetizes bleeped swearing.
