Halo 4 going "yoo hoo" was nice.
Strange that this vid is probably the most excitement I've gotten out of E3 in its entirety.

What's the word on the authenticity of that gameplay though?
I saw the footage for the first time after watching his E3 rundown... I hope no one's really thinking that the actual game is going to be anywhere near to what they're showing off. It's all scripted hocus pocus.

Fucking hilarious video! XD I love the bit about his concern about how what's supposed to sell him on the game is that you stab people in the neck. XD

Meh...sounded like he's going through the motions on this one. More indifference than vitriol this time around.

Probably the best ep in a while. "Fat nerd's flab shelf" and the fake out intro got me. It's like two reviews in one!
Also that PC forum post sounds like it could have been from GAF, lol.

Just played the demo for QC, already agree with him on the first person platforming bit, god almighty. Even then wasn't otherwise impressed by what the demo had, disappointing 
The most important thing in this review is how Steel Battalion Heavy Armor defeated another victim.

I thought the framerate looked a little iffy in Giantbomb's Quicklook. I assumed it was just the the stream/encoder/my browser but... I guess not?
shame
shame
It has surprisingly inconsistent performance issues for such a simple-looking game. I do have to wonder how the console versions will fair if there are these kinds of problems on the PC version.

Okay, that was his best ending bit in a long time :lol :lol
Maybe now people will get that "PC master race" was always a joke.
So another garbage game from Grasshopper/Suda...how in hell this horrible studio still get publishers and release games?

mister anonymous is right though. It's implied with PC gaming that you go for max specs, not your average machine. That's like playing demanding games on integrated graphics sets and then complaining about the game and not your shitty hardware.
It's really not the same thing as console gaming.
(people have similar confusions about Apple when they think that changing the color of the system means CHOICE. Let's not notice the fact that every single laptop or OEM system gives more choice than that by default. Apple's major innovation with the iPhone/ iPad has been bringing back Henry Ford, not all the other nonsense)
That said, the game does stutter when moving 'too fast' to new rooms, which would explain those repeating corridors as well. This is a loading issue however, and not something that one should take out on the game / engine or hardware in particular.
Do note that the game has no load screens, unlike Portal 2.

In celebration of that word being banned from GAF recently, Yahtzee responds by dropping it at least 6 times in his review.
I'm surprised he actually liked Juliet, I was going into this thinking he'd hate her guts. As for the review itself, I enjoyed it.
I don't know if i'd say garbage (as i haven't directly played the game), but the quicklook i've seen was incredibly dull, and the humor got old very fast.

got to sign up for their Publisher's Club. Skyfire used to work, don't know if there is a newer work around but for the $20 a year it is worth it (I do enjoy many of their web shows).

Fantastic review, no one else has really gone into detail as to what makes The Line any good.
Having a lot of fun with Yahtzee's other vids, no one seems to ever talk about them so they are easy to miss.

Man I know I'm going to like spec ops, now I just need it to be 30$ or less so I can get on with enjoying it.
That review was not very funny, but it does make me want the game very badly.

If you're in the US and not waiting on consoles then here you go.
And yeah, I'd been ignoring the game but after that review... damn, maybe I should be getting it.

Didn't have much interest in spec ops the line but now I do. Really good and original stories in video games are dime a dozen lately.

Wow, this is the most serious I've ever seen Yahtzee about a game. I'm not usually one for shooters, I might actually check this one out.
Wait, what? You do realise "a dime a dozen" means plentiful to the point of over satirisation right?
If you actually meant what you wrote then you're delusional, crazy and are in desperate need of help. If you thought that "dime a dozen" meant the opposite of what it actually means well you still need help though of a less serious nature.
It's $25 for PC on Amazon right now, and it activates on Steam.
The game is great, I beat it last week and I still think about it if I'm just laying in bed with nothing going on.

it's funny, I was sucked into buying spec ops for much the same reasons he says it's great but the shonky gameplay pissed me off too much to continue past about the halfway point. perhaps I'd better finish it this weekend.
