It occured to me today that pretty much everything that is wrong with gaming today could be fixed by a single simple rule:
When a developer thinks they ar finished with a game, Yahtzee plays it and yells at the dev. The dev is then required to go back and fix everything that is wrong with the game and give it back to Yahtzee. This process continues until the game is either good or Yahtzee gives them a full frontal lobotamy with a ice pick.
The only problem I can see with this plan is that there are a lot of games that come out each year so we would have to vat grow an entire army of Yahtzee clones to play them all. This would most likely signal the end of the world.

Would you use the same vat they're using to engineer Yahtzee fanboys? I sure hope not, cause that one's been in use for some time now and has seen so much traffic it must be getting ripe.

But anyways. The cure of course cannot be applied only after the company has already spent loads of paid man hours, it has to be done during the initial design process.

I think he expected us all to be a bunch of slavering Yahtzee fanboys when he made that post, tbh.

I've disagreed with YZ's opinions quite a few times, so I disagree entirely with this idea, which is Fanboyism of the highest degree.

Actually, this usually occurs after the disaster where someone goes 'God, those idiots, why didn't they do such and such'
The answer is, because no one thought of it at that time. And by the time they do think of it and it's too late, people are quick to point fingers at people who are genuinely trying to do a good job.
Yes that's right, game producers are trying to do decent games. You know, so people will buy them? In all seriousness, no one is perfect. It's not their fault if a good idea doesn't work, or they didn't think of a better system. They're doing the best they can. Go figure.

It's moar liek failed trolling, I'd say.
That didn't occur to me. I think you're right. It strikes me as something someone who dislikes Yahtzee would do to try and prove he has an overzealous fanbase.

You guys are giving people far too much credit.
Yeah, the kids wasn't trolling. He was probably drunk.

or they could just stop making shit games that involve suits of armour that is seemingly inpenetratable with enemies who have guns from the colonial days against you the protagonist with BFG 9-fucking-000, and instead of hooning around like a chav stabbing people with your penis extention of a gun maybe involve some genuinely difficult stories, like you're the little girl with the red dress in the Ghetto on Shindler's list and you have to get out using the power of your min- NO I'M DOING WHAT THEY DO, WRITING STEAMING PILES OF BADGER SHIT. What game developers need to do is STOP making sequels, and not use the loop hole of making the first game a prequel, kill Lucas for being a massive whore and a genuine cuntface, hire developers for one game, then fire the cunts, they're a used condom in a sea of anus.. NO.. I don't have 'the gay'
