Zero Punctuation - Yahtzee reviews

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Oddly, everything from escapistmagazine.com has been getting instant page load errors for a good while now. It's just my computer, but ah well.

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!"

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?

Hilarious.

 

But now I know Yahtzee hates me.

That was actually quite good and covered just about all parts of the game. :lol:

 

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.

We all do if you haven't bought Braid yet.

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.

Man has a point. If they were flawless we would never stop playing them.

 

Oh, wait.

Auto-targeting in a shooter/RPG/beat'em up hybrid?

 

That just sounds so wrong.
