Purkake Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 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.
Sannom Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 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.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Mass Effect 2 "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
vault_overseer Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 His RPG reviews generaly suck. See Witcher, Fallout 3, ME1, ME2.
Malcador Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 That was light on substance even for him. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
RPGmasterBoo Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 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. Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life
Purkake Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 He did fine and pointed out most the problems, which is more than most reviewers.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Felt more like a review than a something that was supposed to be funny. I don't mind it, I guess. "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!"
Hurlshort Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I think the issue is he liked ME2. The games he like never really get entertaining reviews.
Meshugger Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I think the issue is he liked ME2. The games he like never really get entertaining reviews. Yup. That sounds about right.

RPGmasterBoo Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I was hoping for something harsher when Dante's Inferno is concerned. Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life
Purkake Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 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.
Oner Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 He missed the scroll. And apparently a USB too. Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget! '12.01.13.
Purkake Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 It was just the first video I could find of the box. Yahtzee didn't unfortunately film himself opening it.
Calax Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/...ckrolls-Yahtzee Took a bit to find that. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Purkake Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Googling "Escapist Dante's Inferno Box of Wrath" worked pretty well. The problem is that there was no video.
RPGmasterBoo Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 It was a nice marketing trick. Best part of the game apparently. Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life
Killian Kalthorne Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 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! "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."
Oner Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Okay, I have to write this down somewhere, you are the lucky ones. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/v...-Dantes-Inferno "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!

Oner Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Bah, I suck.True, true.Sadly, has nothing to do with the topic. Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget! '12.01.13.
Purkake Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Neither does your little tirade. Now be a nice little forumite and wait until tomorrow 19.00 GMT+2 like everyone else.
Oner Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Of course it does. Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget! '12.01.13.
Purkake Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Yahtzee's opinion differs from yours, oh noes, call the whambulance!
