SalsaShark said:seriously
I mean, i like Yatzhee and his whole shtick always gets in the way of the actual "review", but there's no argument on how weak the story can be, so that's hardly an opinion, as such im surprised he failed to mention 1 single thing about how the gameplay is so fucking fun. He makes good points on what he says but he doesnt even try to cover the game at all.

RurouniZel said:Maybe because he didn't think it was fun?
SalsaShark said:perhaps, still we'll never find out (unless he does one of those written columns wich tend to be more in-depth), i mean for once its kinda silly to go to him for recommendations where his whole show is pretty much a comedy skit, he has a runtime and he always uses it to pick in one or two of the game's flaws and poke them with a stick, it doesnt hurt that he's mostly right and i dont disagree with him here, but considering how he doesnt really do a full coverage, its weird to see people react so seriously to his impressions. I think i mentioned this here before with another example but i cant remember..
I mean, someone saying "sounds like the perfect game to redbox" after watching that little input on the actual game is kinda silly.
Yep, just saw it and it'd probably go the same way.Totobeni said:Just re-watch his Demon's Souls review.
RurouniZel said:Usually, if he enjoys a game he'll say so, even after bashing it to high heaven. If he didn't say he enjoyed it or found the gameplay fun, it's because he didn't. That's the basic rule of his reviews.
SalsaShark said:He didnt say he found the gameplay boring, he doesnt do the "if he doesnt mention it its because it aint worth it" thing, specially when it comes to gameplay, he always speaks about it, this one video sticks out because of that. And he did said he enjoyed stuff about it, its hardly all negative.
The only reviews i can think of where he truly praised a game was Silent Hill 2 and anything Valve.

These videos are for comedy, don't get so worked up.

SalsaShark said:but this is my point entirely, read my previous post. Sorry if i look like im getting worked up?
also talk about a dark reference to make dude, you thought i was gonna get you were comparing this to a brawl outcry? lulz
RurouniZel said:Yes, they are comedy. But the reason some people do listen to them a bit seriously is that, like most good comedy, we laugh because there are grains of truth in it. Obviously it's exaggerated out of proportion to be funnier, but it's not like the stuff he makes fun of isn't there or is blatantly not true.

SalsaShark said:for sure, i also said exactly that in the same post
RurouniZel said:So you did, my mistake. Still, I go back to my original statement that if he didn't mention something it's because he felt it wasn't worth mentioning. I guess it's just different strokes for different folks.

He recommends it all together but the sandbox nature rubs him the wrong way, oddly.
Is it true that some sidequests lock out if you don't complete them fast enough?

Except having named the first one Arkham Asylum, how do you make a sequel that expands the setting and yet still has "Arkham" in the name?Para bailar La Bomba said:Also criticizes "sequely" premise/story and plotholes which I tend to agree. There's no particular reason why this couldn't have been set in Gotham City fullspot with more linear gameplay.
Para bailar La Bomba said:He didn't review Killer 7 as a stand-alone; that clip was part of his No More Heroes review.
How would you let consumers know this is the sequel to the only good Batman game and not yet another terrible comics-to-games title?Mr. Sam said:Why does it have to have "Arkham" in the name?

He's probably gonna hate because its trying too hard.guitarhero said:I imagine what will he give to Saints Row The Third. I mean, it looks like it still has that "people want to have fun and go nuts? LET'S GIVE THEM THAT!" mentality that he loved.
Goddamn, he offered no quarter to the campaign. Is it really that bad?Zero-Crescent said:Next one is up:
Battlefield 3 (or as I like to call it, Battlefield 3arth; j/k folks)

It was quite bad, it had some truly beautiful to look at set-pieces, but it was bad. Really bad. Story was bad, overall gameplay was bad (QTE ahoy) and A.I was bad. Multiplayer is simply what the game should only be known for.Ridley327 said:Goddamn, he offered no quarter to the campaign. Is it really that bad?
