Dunnowhathuh Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 I laughed much after he mentioned just how fucked up Australian release dates are. I forgot No More Heroes even existed until I watched this weeks review. I know Gamespot's reputation has hit the shitter but they've interviewed Yahtzee
Overflow Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Is there a new one for today? Could someone post the link? I hope he reviews brawl...!
Hy Bound Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I was actually kinda 'meh' on this one, which is something I never thought I'd say about one of his reviews. I'm sorry to say my interest is waning in his reviews and it makes me quite sad.
Triad Orion Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Is there a new one for today? Could someone post the link?I hope he reviews brawl...! Don't bet on it for awhile. According to one of his jokes at the end credits recently, Brawl doesn't even have a confirmed Australian release date yet. Going right along with the "arbitrarily tacking months onto release dates." Anyway, the Zack and Wiki review was a little ho-hum, though it did get me to smile a bit. Though I dunno what problems he was having. A friend of mine owns Zack and Wiki and had no trouble with the motion controls. *Shrugs*

I'm sorry to say my interest is waning in his reviews and it makes me quite sad. It's just more funny when he rips apart a game that's very popular.

A friend of mine owns Zack and Wiki and had no trouble with the motion controls. *Shrugs* To be honest, I hope he DOES review SSBB when it ACTUALLY comes out down here in Australia. Then everyone in the rest of the world can go "WTF!?" at how ridiculously long it's taking for it to get released over here. Aww, don't hate me. Heck, at least you guys CAN play the game.
Triad Orion Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I don't understand why it takes so long to get games out there. I mean, it's not like they have to translate it much from Standard or American English. Unless your ratings board takes forever and a day to get anything done. Which I doubt, otherwise that'd be the subject of why release dates are a pain there.
mattoco Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Having grown up on the King's Quest series...a lot of that review struck a chord with me, and I found it hilarious. I've lost count how many times I've killed Alexander in KQVI because I rubbed the wrong object out of dozen or more in my backpack against the wrong seemingly harmless, but actually quite deadly, object. Underworld ticket-boss: "Next..."
JCvgluvr Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 His final rant in every review nearly always has me rofling! Sand paper condom...XD
Aninymouse Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 This thread gave me something more to look forward to in my life. Sadly. Nice Work, Yahtzee.
JCvgluvr Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 You mean I get to update this thread with the latest video first? As a great futuristic lobster once said (I mean, will say), "What an honah!" Here's Army of Two, as experienced by Yahtzee!: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/3083-Zero-Punctuation-Army-of-Two
Hy Bound Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 This review actually made me completely rethink my waning interest in ZP. Thank you Yahtzee, thank you. ...hehehe, gay jokes...
FR Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 I was gonna buy this game yesterday, and now I don't know if I should. THANKS YAHTZEE
sephfire Posted April 3, 2008 Author Posted April 3, 2008 After renting the game, I really don't think it's worth purchasing. The gameplay is nothing special, every character is obnoxious and the whole thing just feels a bit juvenile. There are dozens of better shooters you could spend your money on.
Unstable Hamster Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Yea, this new one is funny like the first ones he had that made me start watching him. Good to see he can still pull it out and make me laugh. I wasn't that interested in army of two to begin with, so good thing Yahtzee is there to reinforce my view on the game. Heh, bullets as candy, what a silly idea...
BardicKnowledge Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 "Next week, more stuff you foreign bastards have probably been playing for months". Brawl, anyone?

eternal Zero Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Take his last bit seriously. If any of you can play those two games one handed at the same time you better boast about it.
q-pa Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Take his last bit seriously. If any of you can play those two games one handed at the same time you better boast about it. You mean like this?http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2509794034861880408 (it's a tool-assisted speedrun through 2 games at once, but still...)
Triad Orion Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 ...That is at the same time totally awesome and totally creepy. Tool assisted or not, it's still nuts.
The Pezman Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Perhaps this person had their corpus collosum severed. I've been told that those who have can draw two shapes with both their hands at the same time. Left brain/right brain disconnect and all that.

JCvgluvr Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 What...the...heck...? I'm amazed at this person's skill, and lack of attention span. How hyper does a guy have to be to play 2 games at once just to stay entertained?! (Lol, I'm just joking, sort of.)

I've been told that those who have can draw two shapes with both their hands at the same time. Left brain/right brain disconnect and all that. Tool assisted. You'll notice the inputs into both games are identical - like doing a tool-assisted speed-run for two games at the same time, but with one shared controller. If anything this guy has a ton of patience and a LONG attention span. What...the...heck...?I'm amazed at this person's skill, and lack of attention span.
