The wrench is your friend.
Starwars Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 Judging from what little I played of the game, he is dead on about the sort of sensory overload going on in the game. It all sort of bleeds together into a giant lump of explosions and loud noise. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Orogun01 Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 my Blops experience was pretty much 5 sec of gameplay and 1sec skips. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
GreasyDogMeat Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 I know this is Yahtzee we're talking about here, but really. He... couldn't follow the story and then complains that the series is for people who have no attention span. The story was easy to follow and it was great. Not one of the funnier reviews either.
Tigranes Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 We all know Yahtzee doesn't exactly have wonderful taste, he's just a bloke who likes some games and doesn't get others, like most of us. Mainly I think he needs to be applauded for how he keeps this same schtick funny for so long.

Slowtrain Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 I thnk Croshaw should be considered a humorist first and a reviewer second. Which isn't an insult at all. I think its cool how he's managed to make games a foundation of his humor. But his reviews are really of secondary importance to being funny. 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.
Orogun01 Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) Heavily biased but funny reviews. It's kind of sobering to see games from his perspective, specially when they are so highly acclaimed. Edited December 1, 2010 by Orogun01 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
WDeranged Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) I completed Blops earlier this evening and it's a frothing ocean of macho bull**** rage, but jesus, by the end you can't help but laugh at what an achievement it is, a glorious, historically raped, idiotic achievement. I feel dirty yet I somehow thoroughly enjoyed the experience Edited December 2, 2010 by WDeranged

I feel dirty yet I somehow thoroughly enjoyed the experience While I wouldn't use those specific words to describe it, that is exactly what I want from Call of Duty. After I go through some fantasy adventure or Fallout game and get my dialogue rpg fix I want to outright shoot people in an epic orgy of testosterone fueled violence.
Rostere Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 BLOPS is like Powerthirst and "The Machurian Candidate" mixed together to make a CoD game. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"

I think its cool how he's managed to make games a foundation of his humor. But his reviews are really of secondary importance to being funny. So he's the Gene Shalit of game reviewers? I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

No, Croshaw is a lot funnier ps. IS Gene Shalit still alive? You and I are probably the only ones old enough to remember him around here regardless.

He retired November 11 this year from NBC, so he's still alive as far as I know. I wasn't really talking about funny content per se, but that most of Shalit's reviews take a specific approach so that he can do his verbal gags. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that?

Slowtrain Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 He retired November 11 this year from NBC, so he's still alive as far as I know. Ah, ok. I haven't really watched network tv in about 20 years so I'm pretty out of touch. I wasn't really talking about funny content per se, but that most of Shalit's reviews take a specific approach so that he can do his verbal gags. Croshaws a bit more edgy than Shalit on his best (worst) day. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names.

Purkake Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Top and bottom 5 of 2010 Should give you something to complain and/or sing praises about for a while.
Rosbjerg Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Well at least 2 Danish games are on - even if one of them is the worst of the year. Fortune favors the bald.
SadExchange Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed Just Cause 2. Was it the game of the year? No, but I can easily go back into it for 5 minutes to an hour to mess around with the gigantic world. That's what makes it fun.
Gorgon Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Dead rising 2 looks like fun, anyone played it ? Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Rosbjerg Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Dead rising 2 looks like fun, anyone played it ? Several of my friends have bought the game and they all praise it quite highly - I think if you enjoy mindless violence against the undead and don't care much for story then it's the perfect game. Fortune favors the bald.
Thorton_AP Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) DR2 is an absolute blast with a friend! I doubt I'd care much for the single player on my own though haha. Edited January 6, 2011 by Thorton_AP

Bos_hybrid Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Dead rising 2 looks like fun, anyone played it ? I enjoyed it, good for mindless slaughter of zombies.
