I was expecting him to be alot more negative, but I did agree with him on most points
If Dragon Age II is anything like that I'm not buying it.

never let anything Yahtzee says deter you from buying a game
he's paid to be negative, of course any game he reviews is going to look bad
that being said, yeah don't bother with DA2

Yeah, he totally bashed JC2 but at the end of the year he dubbed it "The greatest game of 2010."
I know I shouldn't take him seriously, I'm just saying, if Dragon Age II was like that, I wouldn't buy it.
But from what I've seen of DAII, the gaymance sucks, and I hope to god that the rest of the dialogue isn't like that.

He didn't really bash it. He made puns about the title, said the story was a bit unfocused and the side mission tended to be arbitrary but at the end of the day, the gameplay was enough fun to make up for it.
edit
Yahtzee sounds very negative and cynical but that's his act, he may get cynical and sarcastic about things that he really likes the way he would about things he dislikes. He's a much fairer reviewer than you give him credit for.
Yatheeze on makes those little things that tick you off in games into a 10minute long video to make money.

You do standup?
Yahtzee is awesome because he picks apart all the flaws of a game and lets you see them, when he reviews games that I personally have loved he shows me a lot of flaws, but I still know it's just his opinion (and probably not entirely opinion either since he has to be an asshole) so I take everything he says with a grain of salt and I even smile when he calls my favourite games utter tripe.
Unfortunately, he's pretty much right about everything. He even left off some of the more annoying bits that makes you want to just stop playing this stupid fucking game.
Anyway, good review as always.
