The "guy" is just a funny stock photo that made the rounds on the internet a while back.

 

The Borderlands one felt a bit short and somewhat lacking in the funny department.

He finally forced himself to play it to the end ? He said he would not review it because it was not a game that interested him enough to warrant a long enough playthrough for a review.

Mass Effect 2

His RPG reviews generaly suck. See Witcher, Fallout 3, ME1, ME2.

That was light on substance even for him.

He pointed out the major flaws, the planet scanning, the confined universe and the way the game switches between arcade tunnel shooting and "playing with toy trains" which I assume means walking around and talking to people.

 

Other than that its hard to say what his actual opinion of the game was.

He did fine and pointed out most the problems, which is more than most reviewers.

Felt more like a review than a something that was supposed to be funny.

 

I don't mind it, I guess.

I think the issue is he liked ME2. The games he like never really get entertaining reviews.

Yup. That sounds about right.

Dante's Inferno?

 

HAIRY BUM ALERT!

I was hoping for something harsher when Dante's Inferno is concerned.

I think it was pretty good and while he didn't rip on it too much for being an "adaption" he did say it was bad on quite a few occasions.

 

BTW, here's the box press kit thing that he referred to.

He missed the scroll.

And apparently a USB too.

It was just the first video I could find of the box. Yahtzee didn't unfortunately film himself opening it.

Took a bit to find that.

Googling "Escapist Dante's Inferno Box of Wrath" worked pretty well.

 

The problem is that there was no video.

It was a nice marketing trick. Best part of the game apparently.

I think Yahtzee is getting a little tired of the God of War clones. Someone should make him review the Hello Kitty MMO. That will cheer him up!

Okay, I have to write this down somewhere, you are the lucky ones.

"I'm a little tired of the term God of War Clone. God of War took its style of hack and slash gameplay directly from Devil May Cry, which evolved it from previous games."

-The Youth Counselor

 

I've heard this argument before, and it doesn't hold weight for me. Being the first doesn't necessarily mean you get to be the benchmark: Doom was the game that put FPSes on the map, after all, despite Wolfenstein 3D being the first (and there were others that were even earlier, like Catacomb 3-D). Devil May Cry might have created a model for frantic hack-and-slash gameplay, but God of War gave it style.

 

Yahtzee.

YOU ****ING MOROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Bah, I suck.

True, true.

Sadly, has nothing to do with the topic.

Neither does your little tirade.

 

Now be a nice little forumite and wait until tomorrow 19.00 GMT+2 like everyone else.

Of course it does.

Yahtzee's opinion differs from yours, oh noes, call the whambulance!
