I don't know that I'd call it unoriginal and stale. Have you watched any of the other episodes? There's only four or five overall. Watch some more and see if they don't make you laugh - check out the one about the console wars.

eh, people have there different tastes. Cynicism about games already bashed can be seen as stale very easily.

but making fun of the current president... never old.

And for the record, Resident Evil 4 brought the "simon says" gameplay back to popularity. God of War copied THAT.
That's as ridiculious as saying that Cold Fear is a Resident Evil 4 knock off or that Mafia was a Grand Theft Auto 3 knock off. They were in development at the same time and were released fairly close together. Interviews with developers of both games mention that GoW and RE4 both nicked the Dragon's Lair-ish sequences from Shenmue and Dynamite Deka (in addition to the classic laserdisc games).

You're trying way too hard to be edgy and different.
Edgy and different? Wow, didn't know I had such a hidden agenda. Here I thought I was expressing an opinion because I actually believed it. Thanks for showing me the truth Freud

First time I've been insulted on this forum. What a special occasion

I was actually just pointing out that Resident Evil 4 came out first and showed every other game company that this simon says stuff could be very popular. God of War's success further cemented that idea, but RE 4 got things started. It really doesn't matter that both games were in development at the same time. RE 4 came out first.

And I know there were games doing this before RE 4 and God of War. I did say that RE 4 brought the Simon says style gameplay BACK to popularity.

As for the comedy, I'm just tired of hearing the same old jabs at Tomb Raider for like the thousandth time. The fact that this video does it in a different style doesn't change anything. It's still the same old jokes. No originality.

If you take that as an insult then you've got some serious reading comprehension problems.

and yes, tastes in comedy do differ. There's nothing wrong with not finding it funny, I just thought that it was odd that your argument was based around the thought that Yahtzee sucks at games and doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, which is quite obviously false. You don't find it funny, that's fine and dandy. It's ok to not like stuff! Just don't randomly spit out nonsensical garbage in an attempt to back up your tastes.

And the insults just keep coming.

I won't bother you with my "nonsensical garbage" anymore

Thank you for your maturity, says a lot about you.
