DoomUK Posted February 18, 2016 Funny stuff. If you haven't seen the one he did for classic Doom, go here. 0 Share this post Link to post
Chezza Posted February 18, 2016 I have been watching Yahtzee since forever, but I never liked his "judging by the cover" which is probably forced upon him by his Escapist overlords. 0 Share this post Link to post
AirRaid Posted February 18, 2016 I laughed. He's obviously not even being serious about most of these things, while also pointing out exactly why it's kinda generic. You've always got to take Yahtzee with a pinch of salt. Pretty much his whole thing is exaggeration for comic effect. Like the Jeremy Clarkson of video games. 0 Share this post Link to post

LkMax Posted February 18, 2016 I don't like Yahtzee reviews but I confess I laughted in both "Judging by the cover" posted in thes thread. xD 0 Share this post Link to post
Dav_NW Posted February 18, 2016 Well...another douche british youtuber trying to be funny. I still remember TotalBiscuit crediting Sargeant Mark IV for ALL the content of Brutal Doom, actually a lot of stuff is work of another people. Thankfully he added proper credits in V20 and V20b. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jaxxoon R Posted February 18, 2016 The thing is, though, Yahtzee's putting on a show in all of these and the Zero Punctuation videos. If you watched his Let's Drown Out series you'd see he's actually pretty decent. I never liked Totalbiscuit, though. 0 Share this post Link to post

It's not like anyone who plays a Doom Wad actively tunes into the Doom Community, reads all the text files and self motivated to praise every individual.

I just reckon Sergeant Mark should of made the credits more obvious to the public since the beginning. But at least the names are printed in the starting menu now. Nonetheless, if you open Brutal Doom with Slade and check out all the sprite and decorate work, it's f$*%ing heaps and he made features / assets that are otherwised overlooked and underappreciated by the Doom community very popular to the public. The Doom Community are more prone to follow hard core difficulty, vanilla nostalgic gameplay, slaughtermaps and/or abstract maps. While Sergeant Mark did help put Doom back on the table by catering to the non fanatic's tastes. And I argue it still holds true to the gory fast paced world of Doom. 0 Share this post Link to post

Just because one british person on the internet is an utter asshat doesn't mean we all are. Also, Yahtzee hasn't been a "Youtuber" for years, he got picked up by The Escapist ages ago. He writes and makes videos for them now. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dragonfly Posted February 19, 2016 Going to +1 AirRaid's comment about the British. Not all of them are complete arseholes. Sure, the majority are, but not all of us! ;) 0 Share this post Link to post

TheMightyHeracross Posted March 23, 2016 What the is this guy on about? Calling a massive group of people "fuckwits" because they like the black Icon of Sin cover and "Stubborn nostalgic children" for voting for the other cover? All because one is a minimalist cover and the other is a homage to the game that's it's a reboot of? And if detail is bad, and minimalism is bad, what is a GOOD cover to this guy? Does he even know what he's talking about? 0 Share this post Link to post
HellVain Posted March 24, 2016 Are..are you guys actually taking the videos seriously?...you do know that its satire right? I didnt expect you guys taking this seriouly wtf...what part "judging by the cover" tell you that its a serious review? Holy shit.. 0 Share this post Link to post

Brutal doom did attract many new doom fans, despite his arrogance, rdeness and dark humor, the mod is pretty solid...including his map pack. For a long time i kept wondering why there were so many hate comments on youtube about brutal doom, but then realsed it was his personality and some purists who prefer the vanilla doom over gameplay mods. 0 Share this post Link to post

It's a harmless comedy video using a lot of hyperbole for comic effect, which is kind of yahtzee's thing. 0 Share this post Link to post

"Harmless comedy" which talks shit about an entire community because of a bunch of assumptions he pulled out of his ass. Right.

Every person on the internet is an obnoxious little prick. He's just pointing it out. And it really depends when you say "Doom" community. As far as Doomword goes, I think it's more sophisticated than shitholes like Reddit, /v/ or God forbid this place http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/the-new-doom-its-oldschool-because-theres-no-reloading.81888/ 0 Share this post Link to post
