Hurlshort Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Age of Conan That was surprisingly not as negative as I expected.
Sand Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Its hard to be too negative about a game that lets you play a naked chick that lets you summon hordes of undead to beat on people. Murphy's Law of Computer Gaming: The listed minimum specifications written on the box by the publisher are not the minimum specifications of the game set by the developer. @\NightandtheShape/@ - "Because you're a bizzare strange deranged human?" Walsingham- "Sand - always rushing around, stirring up apathy." Joseph Bulock - "Another headache, courtesy of Sand"
Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 You could do that in Oblivion, and that game did not require a monthly fee to play it. In fact, that was also doable in both Neverwinter Nights I and II - although all three of the aforementioned games did encourage you to wear something when not playing a monk. "Geez.

Istima Loke Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Zero Punctuation and Yahtzee's admiration of the Prince of Persia series I think therefore I am? Could be! Or is it really someone else Who only thinks he's me?
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Yawn. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Walsingham Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I though that was a good one. It's about time someone started suggesting how games can be good. Otherwise how will the poor simps ever make good games? "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Hilarious. But now I know Yahtzee hates me. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Moatilliatta Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 That was actually quite good and covered just about all parts of the game. I do think he missed the part about the story being more of a carrier which uses metaphors to explain a general idea and not so much a geek out on forums to show your mastery at cracking references tory. But now I know Yahtzee hates me. We all do if you haven't bought Braid yet.
Nick_i_am Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) I don't, that game is a pile of Hades. Edited August 28, 2008 by Nick_i_am (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Moatilliatta Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Let me guess you we're stumped by the first puzzle? Or was it the lack of co-op multiplayer?

Killian Kalthorne Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Something tells me he wasn't to fond of Too Human. "Baldur's Gait?" "Your Job is not to die for your country, but set a man on fire, and take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."
Gorgon Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Why do unskipable sequences still exist, and why are they so prevalent. It is the cardinal sin of game design. It's right up there with the secrets of the pyramids and the success of marmite. Edited September 10, 2008 by Gorgon Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Moatilliatta Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Why do unskipable sequences still exist, and why are they so prevalent. It is the cardinal sin of game design. There is a universial law that says that all game desginers must have their heads up their asses one fifth of all time. Otherwise games could be too awesome and they would destroy the universe.

Meshugger Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Unskippable death-sequences? Right control-stick NOT handling the camera? Oh dear....
