I'm suprised. Honestly, it boggles my mind. Normally I would think of Zero Punctuation as the sort of crap that really turns off a stuffed shirt like me, but I've discovered I'm a real fan of his reviews. I mean, like I check here every time I come to the forum and I'm even thinking of bookmarking his webpage. *gasp*

 

His trick is that he mixes the crazy comedy with real criticisms that are spot on. Even if the game is mostly good he manages to bring out the bad things in a hilarious way.

 

You could think of him as a monkey who makes beautiful art by throwing poo.

I laughed my ass off when he described how each character plays.

I feel the same way about the Angry Video Game Nerd.

He really likes hating the Wii and apparently Sarah Palin. The corner-cutting joke is pure gold :thumbsup:

I have to thank Yatzee for saving me a lot of money the last 1,5 years.

You win this round.

 

It's a nice review, I like how doesn't shy away from bashing the bad parts of the game. I really didn't like SH2, but then again I'm not really into horror games anyway.

Nice reviews, but not for RPG's, they arent his genre obviously.

Nope. FOr the most part he doesn't like them. He's pretty straightforward about that.

Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

He did put up Torment and Deus Ex as examples of good games in an episode long ago.

You know, I was chuckling at his review of Silent Hill 2 when he got into explaining why it was such a great game. I wish I had played it, but unless it comes out on the PC, I doubt I ever will. :( still a funny review.

What the hell? It's been out on the PC since 2002.

Edited by Purkake

OH, maybe I'll look on GoG or something for it. :( I'm just behind the time, bro.

I don't think it's on any DD service. You can probably get it from eBay/Amazon, though.

Its a funny review, but he has no clue what he's playing. :)

He uses criteria for third person action games, to rate an RPG :lol:

Damn it, Boo, I thought there was another review up!

Yahtzee ruined my first playthrough of Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood by wrongly stating that Thomas is the only brother to be. Which is completely retarded, Ray McCall has all the cool sh*t like dual-wielding all pistols, shotgun&rifle, dynamite grenades and so on.. if you play as Thomas all you get are throwing knives... which are almost completely useless and boring as hell to play with.

DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself.

 

Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture.

 

"I suppose outright stupidity and complete lack of taste could also be considered points of view. "

Err.. But it is true? As Thomas you stand back and headshot the tangos with rifle while Ray charges and kills the rest. Or in more cramped areas you try to headshot while ray cleans the place :(. Besides Bow&Arrows, and Knifes are only useful on (some) solo parts.

 

Ps. Ray also sucks becouse it takes ages to reload those Prime Rangers while Thomas does not need reloading :p

Pps. Thomas does need to rest after stubbing his toe every other step but anyway i like rifles :p

Ppps. Thomas has the cooler weapon trick

Pppps. Thomas also

gets the girl

Tales of Monkey Island review of shamelessly making fun of the Irish.

 

I liked the Curse of Monkey Island :)

Edited by Purkake

Curse was good, but given a choice between Curse and a game by the same team based on a completely new IP, I'd pick a new IP.

Thought CMI was just as good as the first two. Was a pretty...dull video, I guess the Irish accent was supposed to be funny ?
