Well, damn. Yahtzee complained about a game that I like, and I disagree with him. Five stars for still being funny, but I'd like to address some of these points

"The controls are bad! I run into walls!"

I don't know what he's talking about. The foot controls are basically the same as GTA. I've never stumbled around and hit walls. The only problem I've had with the controls are the occasional clusterfuck when I'm trying to switch weapons in the middle of a fight.

"Traveling is boring!"

He didn't even mention the campfire/stage coach teleport option, or the ability to skip over long rides during missions. You usually only have to travel the slow way to an area once and even then, you can still buy a map and discover all the locations without having to visit them.

"The game is glitchy!"

I've read a lot of complaints about this, but I'm almost done with Mexico and I've only had one problem with the game glitching up. I was walking to the sheriff's office in Armadillo to do night watching and got transported to some kind of limbo void where I couldn't do anything but aim my gun.

I think he just sold me a game

dude doesn't even play the games, anymore.

Blue Poo Atonement.

Purple Monkey Dishwasher.

Which I hope is the name of the Saints Row knock-off of this game.

You idiots are still 5'ing this shit, huh?

I haven't seen one of these in awhile.

Two stars because I'm actually amused they are still keeping up the pretext of these things being actual game reviews instead of pretentious, meme-filled nonsense written by a guy who has never played the game in question.

I'm sure they generate loads of cash for the viral advertising though.

Someone didn't like a game I like = he obviously didn't play it.

His gripes about traveling do have some weight, though. Not only the traveling pretty mind-numbing once the nice scenery has worn off, but the "fast travel" requires you to move away from a town or settlement, figure out exactly where it's ok to "camp", then go into the menu, sub-menu, camp, wait for camp to load up, select destination, more load times. That is just retarded in an age where even massive RPGs like Oblivion have a simple click-on-a-location-to-go-there scheme. Using cabs was annoying in GTA4 but somewhat livable....the camp thing in RDR is just a dumb idea.

You don't go to Yahtzee for a game review you go to watch him rag on a game amusingly, which he didn't do this time.

I thought his points here were dead wrong, but then again I spent my first 2 hours of free time in the game after the initial missions gleefully hunting birds and skinning deer so what do I know eh?

He is right about the game being a time sink. There's no point in accumulating money unless you want the trophy for having 000. Still fun though.
