- CidX, on 12/19/2007, -4/+142These videos have become my new favorite thing about Wednesday. Replacing the usual, sweet jesus its finally 5 celebration.
- dobbinmon, on 12/19/2007, -2/+115I hope the guys at Ctrl-Alt-Del watch Yahtzee...
- bethlagarrison, on 12/19/2007, -17/+104I love Yahtzee's reviews as much as anyone else.
That said, why does he review game genres that he hates to begin with? He reviewed Halo without playing the multiplayer, he reviewed Mass Effect and prefaced it by saying that he hated RPGs. It's like reviewing Wario Ware if you hate minigames or Tetris if you hate solving puzzles.
He's absolutely entertaining, I don't think there's any question of that, but for people to be making him out as the "savior of the game review industry" is sort of preposterous.
His reviews aren't meant to be reviews, they're meant to be entertainment. - Yodzilla, on 12/19/2007, -0/+68Did you just answer your own question?
- navster15, on 12/19/2007, -2/+47Thank you Yahtzee. My Wednesday is now complete.
- friskekd, on 12/19/2007, -1/+36For some reason when i read these comments after I've watched the video I seem to read very fast... and in an accent.
- vincenzo7, on 12/19/2007, -11/+44Instead of digging yahtzee every wednesday, I visit the site every wednesday and keep the escapist in my rss reader.
- redcard, on 12/19/2007, -1/+31He didn't say he hated RPGs.
He said he hated _J_RPGS. - bigfatpaulie, on 12/19/2007, -1/+27Dugg for the CAD zinger.
- dodger6, on 12/19/2007, -7/+33Not trying to sound like a fanboy but I was actually looking forward to Yahtzee's rant about this game but in this case it was sadly lacking. I was left with the feeling that he couldn't be bothered to give enough of a ***** about the game in the first place to be disappointed about it enough to turn into the Hulk of game bashing that he normally is.
I guess I can't expect Yahtzee to hit every game out of the park.
Game 7/10
Rant 3/10 - Aharoni, on 12/19/2007, -1/+26From the thread, a comment from Tim himself:
"Which is no different for this thread. Ben is welcome to his opinion, but neither his, or anyone else's opinions are going to change how I want to create my comic. If someone doesn't want to read/can't read/can't read words without numbers in them, they're welcome to just not read the comic.
I'm just going to close this thread before it turns into something nasty and dramatic."
Predictable, some? - solidcube, on 12/19/2007, -8/+32Mass Effect is one of those games that looks at first like it's going to be the game to end all games, but it's sadly flawed in my opinion. The combat system is shallow, the "exploration" runs you around the same desolate planets and stations again and again, and the unskippable cutscenes make for needlessly punitive gameplay. This one looks great, and it truly does offer some extreme advances to the genre like the dialog system and the uncannily realistic facial expressions, but ultimately it just leaves me cold.
- stafax, on 12/19/2007, -1/+24Typical for Tim Buckley to close a thread that has anything negative about him.
- Thater, on 12/19/2007, -1/+23http://www.cad-forums.com/showthread.php?t=83020
- KaiUno, on 12/19/2007, -3/+25The exploration quests aren't what make this game great. It's the setpieces. The game differentiates between the two in a big way. You have glorious missions and lousy assignments. Skip the assignments and you're good to go. It's never a mystery where you're supposed to be to get to the good bits. But... you'll miss out on a hell of a lot of depth.
(Seriously, this game is freaky with content. Every little thing is explained. Every race gets the full treatment: social structure, military, religion, reproduction. Same with technology. The amount of thought that went into the building of this world is staggering. And it realy drew me in with that. I read it all and it made the game a true experience.) - Dustmuffins, on 12/19/2007, -3/+20COD4 doesn't provide enough ***** to make for a funny review.
- Yondelldude, on 12/19/2007, -2/+19Intergalactic dick waving competition, HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.
I'm still laughing at it! - Wildog27, on 12/20/2007, -0/+15Almost as though he were speaking with no periods or commas.
- bethlagarrison, on 12/19/2007, -0/+13Yeah, that's kind of how I felt too.
All of his other reviews bash (or praise) games from a unique standpoint that you can tell he developed by actually giving a ***** about the game.
In this case, it seemed like he just phoned it in and poked fun at the exact same things that everyone else has been poking fun at for the last month. "There's lots of dialogue lolololol" - opmike, on 12/19/2007, -1/+13Dugg for the genius that is ZP and the two "CENSORED" bars on the Alien.
- kaelyiesta, on 12/19/2007, -2/+13***** hilarious.
But I still heart the hell out of Torment no matter what anyone says. - ZaZ2137, on 12/19/2007, -1/+12I think thats the first time that I've heard it referred to as 'toothpaste of love' o.O
- ilves7, on 12/19/2007, -2/+13boobies!
- davidrools, on 12/19/2007, -1/+12damn that guy talks fast
- zizzy, on 12/19/2007, -1/+11I do both - I see it from my RSS reader but Digg it too so hopefully new people will get to share in the joy it brings to Wednesdays.
- worldsbestgamer, on 12/19/2007, -1/+10You think you can just continually submit the latest video on here and we will digg it to the front page!?! Yeah, we will.
- adventchild08, on 12/19/2007, -6/+15He is a callipygian superman to say the least....
- pattykakes887, on 12/19/2007, -1/+10he did review The Orange Box... Just sayin'
- Cint, on 12/19/2007, -1/+9Dugg for the Elvis at the start
- unitedkronos, on 12/19/2007, -1/+9"When the ***** hits the hyperdrive..."
Best line of the whole video imo. - supaklaw, on 12/20/2007, -1/+7"A vehicle that handles like a fat man on a unicycle"... LOL priceless.
- bagboyrebel, on 12/19/2007, -0/+6The skill system is what makes it an RPG. Just because the combat is in real time doesn't exclude it from the RPG genre, it's just not a Japanese style RPG.
- woohhaa, on 12/19/2007, -1/+7I concur. I've fallen asleep while waiting on the elevator rides. If you stay in them long enough they go back up/ down, doors open, repeat.
- gbro, on 12/19/2007, -1/+6"OKAY, I DID MASS EFFECT, CAN I GO BACK TO INDULGING MYSELF NOW" pretty much sums it up for me. Basic rule, if someone is pressured into doing something they don't want to do of course quality is going to suffer.
- Uranium118, on 12/20/2007, -0/+5There will always be more haters, so hating everything gives you a bigger fan base.
- jpjandrade, on 12/19/2007, -10/+15I was waiting so long for him to freaking bash those elevators, I got somewhat dissapointed.
Still, Yahtzee is teh man - surf314, on 12/19/2007, -3/+7This guy is a comedic genius.
- pathy, on 12/19/2007, -2/+6Mass Effect was a fantastic play through.
I just wished it was more RPGy. The universe has such a massive amount of detail and depth to it, I would have loved it if that was explored more. I was expecting the planets you could land on to be like those in KotOR, or the Citadel. Even if it wasn't all the planets you could land on, but the main story line ones, I would have enjoyed it a lot more.
It's a shame, but never the less, a fantastic story driven shooter. - inactive, on 12/19/2007, -2/+6Jay-Arr-Pee-Gee
- endlessoul, on 12/20/2007, -0/+4I sure don't. Care to enlighten us?
- 1807, on 12/30/2007, -0/+3Actually, I found out that if you press a and x at the same time over and over during a cut scene you CAN skip it..
- aMammoth, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3Its called a-d-v-e-r-t-i-s-i-n-g, welcome to the interwebz.
- sentinel106, on 12/20/2007, -0/+3Very funny indeed, but not the best Zero Punctuation episode out there.
- widgetmaker, on 12/20/2007, -1/+4Dugg for P45, (wonders how many non brits know what i is)
- pixelate, on 12/19/2007, -0/+3I started laughing about three seconds into this one as soon as I heard the song. And realized what he was reviewing.
These keep getting better. - widgetmaker, on 12/20/2007, -0/+3It's what you get when you leave a job (either fired or quit)
- Shippwreck87, on 12/19/2007, -7/+10That analogy about the barber had me laughing for quite some time
- Wuffles, on 12/20/2007, -0/+3Apparently it's a form you get when you're fired (i.e. the "pink slip").
...I'm a brit and I didn't even know that. :' ( - Klarth, on 12/20/2007, -0/+2Hahaha penis. Haha. Hahahaha.
- ryan899, on 01/03/2008, -0/+236... 35...
