I know I'm necroing this comment pretty hard but The Escapist actually responded to someone who complained about the censoring on one of their videos with a reply that was basically "we have to pay our employees how wonderful it must be for you to be able to afford having ideals and values" (not quite that snarky but they were a bit snippy). It makes me sad that Yahtzee has fallen into a system that he's advocated against for most of his life. In one of his newer reviews his editor has to bleep out him saying "cunt", he can't even have censored penises anymore, and there's not a doubt in my mind that UA-cam's threat of demonetization is in the back of his mind as he writes his reviews. Anyone that seriously believes that what the US calls capitalism is a viable system is fucking retarded, it's a maw that exists only to consume. Especially when the governing bodies that are supposed to serve the people do nothing but give breaks to giant corporations we all work for until we're 80, earning money and giving it back because we're bombarded with advertisements all day every day. And UA-cam flexes with whatever censorship seems chic at the current moment, tailoring our experiences based on market research to cater to the broadest possible audience. Makes me sick and sad and angry, and to see even Yahtzee fall into line, that just makes me sad actually.
@@blinkin78 So for example, they cut a joke from his Prototype review when adding it to the compilation. It's there in the original review video but absent from the official Escapist compilation.
16:23 Holy shit been following for years and I didnt know your little character was wearing white clothes. Mindblown. I just thought it was featureless white. I wouldnt say I assumed u were naked....but I wouldnt NOT say that either.
“Money is the root of all evil”. Alternatively, “Rich business men in tight suits who won’t even put 20 cents in a gumball machine if they can’t expect a return of investment are the root of all bland samey action adventure clones kneeling on the bed of a dried up watering hole licking the dirt for moisture” Or alternatively, “Greed is the root of all evil”
Looking at the commenters who complain about a lack of separation between the episodes, I have to say; I don't think you give yourselves enough credit. I mean sure I got bamboozled the first time it happened but it's very, very easy to get used to.
I have to talk about this somewhere or it will drive me mad. I just woke up from a nightmare where I was in a Pavlov vr map but in real life, fighting hordes of Minecraft zombies, when a massive super hoard arrived, and a creature among them was the handy man, an elongated enderman like creature with human skin and a fucked up moaning voice. They had really giant hands and they killed you by grabbing you and harvesting your organs. They also were bent and contorted into a permanent hunch position
The only thing I would recommend is putting dividers between videos. It doesn't have to be the intro sequence over and over, but it's kind of jarring to go straight from one piece about Torchlight into a rant about God of War clones. Maybe a 2 second black screen (or half a second) just to give people a clear, defined "these are two separate clips" indication. (Or you could shamelessly rip off the AMV Hell method and just use a tv screen with static in between each one.)
Okay so there's something kinda fun about trying to figure out which game he's talking about so I politely disagree with you but I encourage you to continue to express yourself so that we can maintain this marketplace of ideas
@Michael Martin Yes, I know that. But it's still fun to speculate exactly when and where Bioware's downward spiral into what it is today started. See in 2010 they still created games that weren't total flaming garbage, but this was only two years off from Mass Effect 3 and I think we all remember how well that went over with certain people.
Xenomorph vs Yautja The "love" of money is the root of all evil. Everyone always leaves out the first part. Money is just resources. Its the materials you need to do stuff with. Its important, like say a cow for milk. Loving it is like trying to marry all the milkcows because you love milk. Insane, short sighted, and means you're probably not seeing to all those cows sexual needs appropriately. That metaphor got away form me a bit. Sortof like my cows. I still think FNV's "its just more F3" was his single biggest failure as a reviewer, critic, or connoisseur. Its like saying people who look alike, but are from entirely different family trees, are the same. Also he's patently wrong about people in town (beyond maybe Doc Mitchell or the bartender) "assuming" anything. If he was *asking* about the guy who shot him, as is an option - not a requirement - then they'll fill him in. Otherwise most people are content to tell you fuck all. And you can totally get to New Vegas with a little elbow grease right off. MissieMae, on her blind run, did it by being sneaky and tenacious. I don't think its the best way to play the game but its extremely doable. The world just isn't made to babysit you or your choices.
I feel like it’d be better if it had at least the ending part of each video. It would make things a lot less confusing. “Why is Yahtzee suddenly talking about Spider-Man in this review of dead rising?”

The best part of this is that unlike the official escapist uploads it have not censored yahtzee
That and the fact that there’s no ads

“Money is the root of all evil”.
Alternatively,
“Rich business men in tight suits who won’t even put 20 cents in a gumball machine if they can’t expect a return of investment are the root of all bland samey action adventure clones kneeling on the bed of a dried up watering hole licking the dirt for moisture”
Or alternatively, “Greed is the root of all evil”
People often misquote it as “money is the root of all evil” when the actual quote is “the love of money is the root of all evil.”
So you’re correct.
How i miss these simpler times. Back when the biggest worry was the fact that Bayonetta was way too hard to hide when your mom walked in the room
Looking at the commenters who complain about a lack of separation between the episodes, I have to say; I don't think you give yourselves enough credit. I mean sure I got bamboozled the first time it happened but it's very, very easy to get used to.
Lars0n it’s better than constant BERDERDERDERDERDER every 5 fucking minutes
It turned me off at first, now I have them on in the background all the time.
48:37 "What is it with modern war games and Russia lately?"
*LAUGHS IN 2022*
Bioware games always have good writing. Let that statement sink in.
Ahh 2010, back when the Iphone was the only smartphone anyone cared about.
Nexus & galaxy S have entered the chat
Mobile games are the only platform driving innovation and are more fun to play than console games......whelp, that did not age well at all.
Nah it’s still true you just have to look harder now
What happened at the Escapist Ben? What are you going to do now?
I promise i am the worst sinner when it comes to not use punctuation.
Shame this doesn't have add revenue. There is a new games media company that could use some.

Hey Stale Memes

My favorite Stale Meme of 2018
Only 4 months have passed since you posted this shitty meme and it's laready so dead that you come across like just another normie 11 year old
MeMeS nEvEr DiE
They seem to editing these pretty heavily which is disappointing. My amusement comes from recognizing the differences from the originals.
Yahtzee: "art elucidates the culture in which its made"
Escapist: *censors all the Naughty Jokes that were fine 10 years ago*
You say Escapist like he doesn’t have a pretty big cheese position there. He’s at least implicitly supporting it
@@skalty9868 nah the entirety of the escapists has changed since the censorship, yahtzee just always has been working for the same company

Him sang bioware has good writing and after anthem and Andromeda and I think is the funniest part of all of this
This was probably before Bioware had been bought out and hollowed out into the shambling zombie milking name recognition it is today;
