!!Tropes {{discussed| trope}} in ''Zero Punctuation'' includes:
* DiscreditedMeme: [[invoked]] By the time of his ''VideoGame/KingdomComeDeliverance'' review, Yahtzee had come to regret the PC Master Race meme that he had started. While he still views PC gaming as the superior option, he's grown incredibly disgusted by the [[StopHavingFunGuys gatekeeping]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe elitism]] from certain circles of the PC gaming community, to the point where he wishes that he had named them something "like the PC Gaming Dickslurp All-stars".
* FetishRetardant: [[invoked]] Yahtzee describes Bayonetta's hyper stylistic design as such, most notably her long legs and that if he were to have sex with her he'd need a step ladder.
* FranchiseOriginalSin: [[invoked]] Brings this up with ''Modern Warfare'' games is his "What is the Matter with You People" article, where aside from bringing up the reason for the above question, he brings up that when one of the player characters was killed in a nuclear blast in the original Modern Warfare, it was a well done shock in almost every moment like it, the character will survive or somebody will rescue them, and it's especially gripping with the character's struggle to move before finally dying.

* PlayerPunch: [[invoked]] ''Spec Ops: The Line''. [[TraumaCongaLine Pretty much all of it.]] To wit...
--> ''VideoGame/SpecOpsTheLine'' is one of those pleasant surprises that comes along every now and again, a video game story that really got to me, giving me genuine feelings of weariness, guilt, and actual physical sickness. [[SarcasmMode Fun, fun, fun!]]
* TrueArtIsAngsty: [[invoked]] Zig-zagged. On the one hand, he praised depressing [[EmotionalTorque emotionally gutting]] games like ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'' and ''VideoGame/SpecOpsTheLine'', but on the other hand, one of his ''Extra Punctuation'' columns bemoaned the popular trend towards making existing franchises DarkerAndEdgier (after reviewing ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal'' and finding its inconsistent tone rather perplexing), and discovering to his surprise that he found the increasing emphasis on {{Gorn}} in video games a little disquieting with his advancing years. He has also given high praise to games with a notable lightness of tone, such as ''{{VideoGame/Psychonauts}}'' and ''VideoGame/DriverSanFrancisco''. To be more concise: it's not so much the gorn that he hates, but rather when the gorn is utterly tasteless (Tomb Raider), or when it's utterly repetitive (Splatterhouse).
** He also gave high praise to {{VideoGame/Undertale}} for averting this, being dramatic and genuinely funny in equal measure without either coming across as feeling forced, and using ThePowerOfFriendship in a way that actually worked.
* VindicatedByHistory: [[invoked]]
** In his review of ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonor Warfighter'' and ''[[{{VideoGame/Doom}} Doom 3]]'', Yahtzee described how for everything ''Doom 3'' got wrong, it still was a game that stands head and shoulders above realistic modern shooters.
** His Extra Punctuation follow-up to ''VideoGame/FarCry3'' has him saying the same thing about ''{{VideoGame/Bulletstorm}}'' and ''{{VideoGame/Wolfenstein 2009}}''. ''VideoGame/SonicColors'' was similarly slammed harshly the first two times Yahtzee mentioned it, but every other time it's been brought up he's been much more favourable to it, comparing it to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' as the game in the franchise that got away from all the things that was dragging it down.
** He was originally rather harsh to ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsII'', arguing that its narrative was inconsistent and its gameplay boring and unfulfilling. Fast-forward to 2013, and Yahtzee's already saying that it was a much more self-aware and interesting game than its [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyGhosts successor]].
** Yahtzee compares ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' unfavourably to [[ThoseWackyNazis Joseph Goebbels' head]] pasted onto a praying mantis in his ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' review, but he later says he enjoyed it a lot more than ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' in his "XBLA Double Bill" review.
** Also tends to happen whenever he includes a game he wasn't too positive about in his end-of-year Top 5, as was what happened with VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance.
** Yahtzee mentioned during his ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' that despite the game being lambasted at the time for its celshaded graphics, it actually allowed its graphics to age very well over time.
