Yahtzee plays Hugo 2: Whodunit

 

[Ferrio]

Prototype 2

Prime example of him liking a game alot.

 

[Gui_PT]

Risen 2: Dark Waters

 

[Orin GA]

haha, great review.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Risen 2: Dark Waters

HA that ending!

Spoiler

I WOULD LOVE a half-life radio station like that

 

[R_thanatos]

Risen 2: Dark Waters

the best part was the halflife part at the end...

 

[Gui_PT]

Sniper Elite V2

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Sniper Elite V2

HA I loled a few times this week, great review!

 

[R_thanatos]

Sniper Elite V2

Rofl the part about rebellion & organised crime was priceless

 

[Rufus]

Is it just me or does he make a LOT more dick jokes lately?

 

[CrazyDude]

What you don't know is that all his jokes are dick jokes.

 

[Goldmund]

I'd watch these more often if it weren't for that horrible and horribly loud metal intro music.

 

[Gui_PT]

I'd watch these more often if it weren't for that horrible and horribly loud metal intro music.

You know, it's 2012. We now have the technology to skip certain parts of videos

 

[Sethos]

I'd watch these more often if it weren't for that horrible and horribly loud metal intro music.

Damn these VHS tapes and the slow fast forwarding huh

 

[Goldmund]

Yes, it's 2012 and I'm not watching it on VHS, astounding findings.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Sniper Elite V2

Nice Rommel joke.

 

[SpongeBob NoPants]

I'd watch these more often if it weren't for that horrible and horribly loud metal intro music.

You know, I hate myself for saying this, but I've heard the intro so often that I actually quite like it.

 

[Gui_PT]

Sounds like you just found out though

 

[beat]

I'd watch these more often if it weren't for that horrible and horribly loud metal intro music.

I mute each ep at the end so I don't hear the outro music, and as a bonus, the player stays muted the next week so I also don't hear the intro. Just unmute around 14-15 seconds in, after the logo flashes for the second time.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

I'd watch these more often if it weren't for that horrible and horribly loud metal intro music.

yeah, I don't get that either. If you don't want me to able to hear your words, make me turn down the volume on your way too loud intro. Have to say I mostly avoid ZP for that reason as well.

 

[Rufus]

I've come to love the media keys on my keyboard. It's great to be able to mute everything at the press of a button.

 

[Goldmund]

Oh? That's a good suggestion. Thank you.

 

[DarkKyo]

Diablo III

A couple of his gripes are pretty misinformed this time.

 

[Criminal Upper]

Diablo III

A couple of his gripes are pretty misinformed this time.

90% of his gripes on all reviews are misinformed. I remember his MH Tri review, he bashed on aspects of gameplay that completely remedied after 5 hrs of play when certain features opened up and expanded. But Yahtzee rarely plays a game for more than 5 hrs before he feels ready to review it.

 

[Ferrio]

Diablo III

No elective mode for him.

Actually wasn't that great of an episode, he didn't slam it hard or anything.

 

[DarkKyo]

No elective mode for him.

Yeah that, and also he doesn't seem to understand that co-op players don't share the same loot.

I might be misinterpreting but are you saying if you don't like a game you should play itr for 5 hours in case it gets good?

 

[LiK]

Diablo III

one of his worse reviews. he's clueless about basic stuff that pops up in the tool tips windows.

 

[Mr. Sam]

If you're a professional critic, I don't think it's unreasonable. It's more informative to say "X is broken, but is remedied when they introduce Y later on" than to simply say "X is broken."

 

[Brashnir]

No elective mode for him.

One of the text blocks at the end suggests that he learned about it at some point in the process after he recorded that bit.

If you're a professional critic, I don't think it's unreasonable. It's more informative to say "X is broken, but is remedied when they introduce Y later on" than to simply say "X is broken."

Yahtzee is more of a satirist than a critic.

 

[scy]

That's kind of par for the course, really.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

Yahtzee is more of a satirist than a critic.

have to agree with this.

 

[Tylahedras]

I agree with him, fuck trousers.

 

[krameriffic]

Agreed. I don't typically care about what he has to say about most PC games anyway because they tend to be the type of games that he doesn't like anyway.

Let me guess, you like Diablo 3?

 

[benny_a]

And the cycle of "I used to like Yahtzee before he made a video about how he didn't like my latest favorite game" begins anew.

Can the Diablo 3 fans generate more posts than the Nintendo fans. Tune in to find out.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

The only thing i dont like about him is that he's always spoiling the ending of games. I've never watched a review of his before I've played the game.

 

[Gui_PT]

OMG Yahtzee said mean things about that one game I like. He's such a hack!

 

[LiK]

Let me guess, you like Diablo 3?

he can shit on games if he wants but at least know the basics.

 

[Captain_Spanky]

If you're a professional critic, I don't think it's unreasonable. It's more informative to say "X is broken, but is remedied when they introduce Y later on" than to simply say "X is broken."

I don't know, if a film is bad enough to make someone walk out, or game has enough frustrating problems that make you really not want to finish it I think that says a lot and is perfectly valid.

I mean obviously don't do it with everything but it has its place.

 

[Rufus]

I really hate how he pronounces Diablo. I'm pretty sure he's not doing it ironically, either. It's like fingernails on a blackboard. That being said, this one's pretty anaemic. TL;DW "I don't get dungeon crawlers" OK, then.

90% of his gripes on all reviews are misinformed.

Eh, that's going massively overboard. He does have pretty big blind spots, some acknowledged, some not, but you can't say nine out of ten things he brings up are baseless bullshit.

It's more informative to say "X is broken, but is remedied when they introduce Y later on" than to simply say "X is broken."

You're advocating the "this, but this; this, but this; this, but this; conclusion" style?
Really? That has nothing to do with being informative. Of course, do mention the good, but don't feel obligated to be 'nice' subsequent to every point you criticise.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

I agree with him, fuck trousers.

needs more TF2 hats.



And pants.

 

[ZealousD]

Did you guys watch the same review I did?

It didn't really sound like he hated the game. Sounded more like he liked some parts but that overall it just wasn't really his cup of tea.

 

[SpongeBob NoPants]

I really hate how he pronounces Diablo. I'm pretty sure he's not doing it ironically, either.

That's definitely not irony. That's a pretty standard English English pronunciation.

 

[TimmiT]

If you're a professional critic, I don't think it's unreasonable. It's more informative to say "X is broken, but is remedied when they introduce Y later on" than to simply say "X is broken."

There's also option C: "Y is pretty good, but you first need to do X for the first 5 hours of the game which is a pretty damn big hurdle."
Also, opinions.

 

[Rufus]

That's definitely not irony. That's a pretty standard English English pronunciation.

I hate it. It's like saying eye-raq and eye-ran. People don't say eye-taly, you'd think it'd catch on that vowels work differently in other languages. /pet-peeve

 

[Ferrio]

He did like it. He's was a WoW player afterall.


Also, anyone been watching his "Let's Play" series? It's pretty cool.. though you can tell him and his friend are constantly smoking weed during it.

Can the people who post the same dumb remark every time someone criticize his reviews generate more posts than both? Why yes they can!

 

[Mzo]

Yahtzee reviews are for entertainment purposes only.

They're very good in that respect. I love them.

 

[SpongeBob NoPants]

Exactly. People who complain about this sort of thing are Deeobolical.
