Yeah, his position has always been known. It rings of a much more scientific approach, however his position, like all his positions, are vast generalizations, boiled down into a broad ranging brushstroke designed to antagonize. No game is actually "better" than another game, only opinions can claim such. However, saying that all new games are better than all old games, or that all games made 20 years ago are undeserving of our praise is vastly ignorant, and Yhatzee himself knows that better than anyone.
Yhatzee couples of balls of Planescape: Torment, a game I'm sure he hasn't dug out of his closet in ages. Another game, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, might not be as good as he remembers it. Opinion is, those games are and always will be fantastic, nostalga or not. Nothing can be described in detail with a mere generalization. Even the assertion that such a thing is possible, is childish.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
