I'm not really a hardcore gamer and the few games I really like tend to be ones that Yahtzee seems to really not like (fighting games like Soul Calibur and Super Smash Bros for instance) but I still really enjoy his videos. Sure, he's nitpicky and will point out everything slightly wrong with a game but I don't hold it against him because I'm secure enough in liking the things I enjoy that I can admit they have flaws and still like them and I don't need Yahtzee to agree with me.
Also, tip for watching him, don't take any of his insults too seriously. I never get any real malice from him when he, for instance, insults Amrica or Americans. It mostly feels like exaggeration and joking. There's a difference between his insults and his pointing out of flaws, ignore the former (unless you are one of those wonderful people who can take it in stride and laugh at yourself), listen to the latter and decide if the flaws are likely to bother you (but otherwise form your own opinion).
Ignore the insults, listen to the flaws
