I kind of need a link to those reviews because the last video of his I could stand to watch was his Exclusives Showdown one where he said and I quote…
 
“My non-gaming friends often say to me ‘Hey we’d really like to play the best video games, which of the next-gen consoles should we buy?’ to which I reply why did you just make two completely unrelated statements? It’s like saying I want to join the Russian ballet, what colour I should paint my ass or I’d like to visit Moraco, how many times should I stick my head in a Corby trouser press. You want to play the best games you buy a PC…”

I usually find his reviews funny, but when he’s outright contradicting himself AND just being outright wrong, I take issue. The fun in his reviews come from exaggerations of existent flaws.
 
His Super Smash Brothers Brawl review was a key case of this.
 
He complains about it being a button masher, where button mashing actually makes you win, which makes you question if he even played it- you can’t win by button mashing in Smash. You’re more liable to kill yourself than anything.
 
Then he goes on to complain about people becoming “That guy” who is an insufferable ass that can’t be beaten… how does that mesh with a game where Button Spam to win is the case, Yahtzee?
 
That being said, the hatemail he got was much more just about him not praising the game, not about his actual, serious mistakes during the review.

To be fair, it’s just his opinion, if you agree with him, that’s fine. If you disagree, that’s also fine.

I prefer to think of Yahtzee as just a critic with ridiculously high standards. If he’s bored or blase on a game, that’s usually a sign it’s good, if he actually recommends it, it’s a must-buy.

Different strokes for different folks. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.

While I already had my doubts about his reviews, I came to that realization after his Overlord 2 review. I thought it was a pretty cool game. Yahtzee quit at the spider temple puzzle. Which, granted, is frustating but also the only one of it’s kind in the game. Then he went on about how he liked Saint’s Row 2 so much he’d marry it. I thought the game was rather meh and was even somewhat put off by the player characters sociopathy. That doesn’t happen often.

It’s pretty obvious from watching his videos that at least part of it is satire. He has constructed an asshole persona for his reviews. Said asshole would not really care if all the details blurted out during his rants are accurate.  
Point is, if you are watching Yahtzee’s reviews to decide which games to buy, you are probably not making the wisest of decisions. It’s like choosing to use The Colbert Report as your source of news. It’s sprinkled with satire and bias on the part of the reviewer.

E3 the year that Nintendo Won. Which means Yahtzee can’t come clean and say that he LOVES NINTENDO! Because to me it seems like he is gritting his teeth when it comes to Nintendo.
 
Did he forget, New Starfox, Kirby’s Rainbow Curse, Yoshi Yarn game, and Robot Chicken.

Tell me, are you one of those people who get upset about how inaccurate The Onion is when it comes to reporting the news?
