Title: Best game reviews eva!
Post by: BROX on October 18, 2007, 09:56:05 pm
Been watching the Zero Punctuation vids for awhile now and the creator goes by the name of 'Yahtzee Croshaw' who makes satirical and just generally hilarious game review vids across console and pc. He does a weekly review for the Escapist magazine (http://www.escapistmagazine.com) every Thursday.

Some of my favourites include:

The Orange Box http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/2541-Zero-Punctuation-The-Orange-Box (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/2541-Zero-Punctuation-The-Orange-Box)
Peggle http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/2280-Zero-Punctuation-Peggle (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/2280-Zero-Punctuation-Peggle)
Halo 3 http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/2304-Zero-Punctuation-Halo-3 (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/2304-Zero-Punctuation-Halo-3)
Console Rundown http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/1383-Zero-Punctuation-Console-Rundown (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/1383-Zero-Punctuation-Console-Rundown)
and Bioshock http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/1394-Zero-Punctuation-BioShock (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/1394-Zero-Punctuation-BioShock)

He's done plenty of other games such as The Darkness, Tomb Raider, Tabula Rasa, Manhunt etc which are still very funny.
Even if you dislike the game/never heard of it before you are bound to enjoy the video anyway which makes for much fun when procrastinating for studying :)

Excuse me if these have been posted in the funny vid section or somewhere else before but I couldn't find them on the forums when I searched.

A retard could finish Halo on Legendary...The multi play: Its very much shit..

Seriously there are much better games out there...lets hope to god that this is the last installment of BS from microsoft/bungies...

Maybe Halo 1 was good...ok, yea it was...It just didn't need to be repeated twice...

damn you and your bait!!!!!

it was not made by microsoft, it was made by Bungie!

i don't see how the multi player sucks as its the most balanced game i have come across, u don't have any weapon that can WTFpwn, but i guess u can love those games where it takes less skill

Halo was origninally produced by Bungie for release on PC and Mac in 2001. Then Microsoft bought them. They dictated the game specifics, just like EA did with BF2. Shit was cut from the original plan, the story line changed a bit, and you ended up with some abortion that was still the best thing xbox had ever seen.

Not a bad game, no. But not the best.

Later when Microsoft released a PC version, it was almost a port, only with some original features put back in (ability to use some vehicles you can't on xbox), and half the graphical eye candy taken out. Nice work morons!

Thats just too try hard. He relies on swearing for the 'humour' whereas Yahtzee uses wit and is actually funny.

ya reckon? imo he has way more charisa than that other guy
Title: Best game reviews eva!
Post by: Pyromanik on October 29, 2007, 01:11:33 pm
That's because you swear a lot and rage just like him...
He was reasonably funny, but that was more because he made out like he was raging at the game whilst he was playing it.




Yahtzee is a charismatic stallion...

If you equate the number of swear words one can cram into a short space of time as being 'charisma' then yes.

However, if using the proper definition then I think that guy had all the charisma of your average rock. That swears a lot.

Yahtzee is clever in the way he puts his stuff together. He doesn't appear on screen so calling him charismatic perhaps isn't a particularly good description.
At least he doesn't rely on extensive swearing to get a few cheap laughs because he doesn't actually have anything of substance to say.

No comment on the Halo love/hate posts. I have moved on from the fanboyism.

After getting Halo 3, I loved it, but I was a little dissapointed. Mainly cause of the play time, and a couple of plot holes. The multiplayer is getting a bit repetitive and forge is not what I was led to believe. No gauss hog on valhalla? WTF? No wraith on last resort? WTF?

Bring on COD4!

Im glad he does reviews of Wii games. He's one of the very few competent gamers who actually write coherent reviews. Almost all Wii game reviews are written by either totally useless idiots or people in Nintendo's pay

I work part time at a video store, we are no longer getting product for Wii and all games have gone down in price just so they get hired. Hardly anyone has the console to play the games on, most of our hires go out with a machine to play them on.

Though in saying that, we got No More Heroes in recently for some strange strange reason, after they said no more Wii. It must be that good of a game.

Its probably because:

Anyone who owns a Wii probably already have the best games for it

Well, taking advice from these reviews, I've been telling anyone that gets Wii game out (1 in 10000) to pick up No More Heroes and play it.

A guy in his 20's tonight got out "cooking Mama" for a whole week, and said he'll come back another day to pick up No More Heroes....

I never liked Oblivion myself. Was far too much of a chore. They should have remade Morrowind instead


I enjoyed it for about 12 hours then suddenly I was over it and never touched it again.

I think you missed the point it was a parody on people that write comics about games, nothing to do with BF2?

Have you seen Penny Arcade? AFAIK this is the original comic that took the piss out of things gaming, now there are a lot of comics that do the same but they're not really funny.

You say he nailed the stereo types, but he's taking the piss out of people who nail the stereotypes.

Loved this video. He's already taken a stab at Webcomics(i.e Player vs Player) in a previous video. The ratio of good webcomics(like "The Order Of The Stick") to bad webcomics("The Noob") is massively skewed towards the bad end. Making fun of them probably does more harm then good since people will look up what is bad, announce that it is bad, email the maker about how bad it is and artificially inflate the creators aura of self-importance as they gleefully dispense bile at any genuine criticisms of their poor, poor attempts at humour.


HOWEVER

This kind of video isnt what people wait a week to watch. Its like the filler he despises so much in video games. Then again if you have the power to command peoples attention for 4 mins every week it might be a good idea to be a self-indulgent arse once in a while


.......maybe I should get in on this action

Although it lacked the vitriol of Uncharted: Drakes Fortune review (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/27-Uncharted-Drakes-Fortune) he definitely placed the blame for the games lacklusteryness(tm) squarely at the feet of EA designers. He also attacks the lack of empathy with the protaganist which, in an FPS world containing such brilliances as Half Life 2 and COD:4, tends to be a very very bad thing

I loved the Witcher, brilliant game (ended up selling over 1 million copies which is pretty damn awesome for the first game developed by a random Polish developer no one had heard of just for the PC). I didn't have too many bugs with the original but the enhanced edition made it a lot better.

Thankfully I have Sega: Mega Drive Collection for Playstation 2 which contains Sonic 1 and 2 so Sonic will forever remain as a product which was once good, not its modern downfall.

I wish they'd make a good parkour game that doesn't involve. I'd be tempted to buy that one.

Think about it. An action/adventure game, involving parkour and stealth to get past enemies. And not shitty stealth like in MGS, but good stealth, like in Thief.

Great, now my old-games boner is back.

Post by: Arnifix on January 22, 2009, 04:34:15 pm
The original Farcry had an "interesting" story, and it wasn't as open world as this one. With open world games comes a need to make the story matter.

In a linear game, I help Person A, because Person A needs help, and if I don't the story doesn't go anywhere. In an open world game, interacting with any NPC should matter, it should have an effect on the game world. In Farcry 2 it just doesn't, and the story is so rubbish that I don't really want to bother trying to make it. Basicly, it suffers from Grand Theft Auto syndrome, except in Farcry 2 you can't run over hookers with motorcycles.

How else is he supposed to make a living from these reviews? you know how many hits his reviews get each week, advertisers would bust a nut to get their ad on his page and this gives him the means to keep on making the reviews.

All part of the cycle.

But I hate to say it, his rant was inaccurate to say the least.

He sings about love songs and more love songs and partying, in which he's been mocked about:

i.e. Jadakiss - Checkmate

[video]rVbPjUgZobA[/video]

I like this 50 Cent diss and more reflective of Yahtzee's rant:

[video]acCjWhIvhlk[/video]

Speaking of Wu-Tang Clan and games:

[video]DIOCgruTkdY[/video]

You dunno how fun this game was back in the day.

Also, it's not like rap and games can't result in a good game:

[video]0iapGFosF_0[/video]

Revolutionary and new in it's concept Def Jam:Icon was (unlike a lot of games these days). The fusion of control of music via a fighting game. The fighting however let it down.

Also:

[video]vCQaTGoE7YM[/video] (PS2/XBOX 1 graphics, 2004)

One of the best fighting games I have played. Yes, really.
And guess what, both are made by EA!
In fact, Def Jam: Fight for NY is rated quite highly (83 and 84 on Metacritic).
Fight for NY was bloody good multiplayer fun. Using the special moves and objects like pool cues to whack people was the shiz.

And yes, I'm sick of defending rap too but yes...

Well, I'll let Chris Rock explain:

Sorry, it takes something intelligent to get me to laugh.

But srsly, all trolling aside, I get it, he's the Simon Cowell of video games, and really anything he can do about it. He keeps using the same premises for jokes over and over; it's just not gonna work. "And the result is less filling than three Thai ladyboys." Yeah, I get it, you like to punctuate every point with coarse innuendo. It was funny at first.

tbh, it feels like he's gotten out the anger that he's had brewing for a few decades, now he's just printing the money while he can. If he is, good on him, I would do the same. If he's actually trying to come up with original material, god help us all.

Agree with this.  Still watch them every week and whilst I do not find them as amusing as I did I still do find them amusing, and there is still some originality at times.

I think that he does a good job of giving a serious review in a way which is not dull.  My pet complaint is the games he reviews, so many are going to be shit from the start no matter what (Halo Wars I mean seriously).

Another rant, rather than a review. You have to wonder if he actually played the game since the only thing he really said about it was it was missing content, which could be learnt from some quick interwebs searching. Still, it was a good one though.

It’s a close call, but I’m going to declare Sucker Punch the winner by one lovingly-rendered pair of breasts. Also their unicorn is a much prouder, mightier steed, and Alex’s expression is delightfully coquettish. Therefore InFamous must be the better game. Buy InFamous. Prototype’s still good, though. Buy it as well.

No one could convince me that a remake of Syndicate would be a very good idea. Let alone a good game.
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/5478-Syndicate

Besides. It is hard to NOT sound pretentious when you have that middle-of-the-road English accent, a massive dislike for the modern day time wasting mechanics of video games (Assassins Creed should bloody well take notes), and a best selling novel bizarrely released by one of the most famous comic book houses in the world.


He also has the best idea for Duke Nukem Forever, other than the whole 'just dont bother making the game'.
Title: Best game reviews eva!
Post by: Scunner on March 15, 2012, 12:14:19 pm
I have not played the original Syndicate so maybe I would enjoy this a bit more than someone who has, but it does seem fairly predicable that EA publishing an old strategy game as a modern day FPS would result in another bland, by-the-numbers game.

With that said, I think a remake like this could be done well. Fallout is a pretty good example of that.

Yahtzee didnt warn me about this problem with the game. Bastard.

edit: And now the game crashes before it even begins. They would have never gotten away with a buggy game in the 8-bit era or the programmers would have been sentenced to death from stomping under the company brontosaurus.

"Its boring and stupid"

I got to watch this game from a distance of three meters, isolated behind safety glass, being played by a moron.

He was being beaten by a 5 year old.


It is safe to say this game is shit.

It is a shame that he doesnt review Sony All Stars aka Sony Smash Bros.


The game is a contender for "Most obvious copy ever" along with "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time - The Movie Game" and "The WarZ"

Oh and "Great Giana Sisters" and "Crash Team Racing"
edit: Wow. I found something even worse

Yeh, I bought the new one (http://www.gog.com/gamecard/giana_sisters_twisted_dreams) over Christmas.

That and Return of the Jedi & some Indiana Jones game to which I can find NO reference for either on the internet AT ALL.
Which is really fuck'n surprising.

Rick Dangerous was also pretty win.




Not quite as old, but on special: http://www.gog.com/gamecard/commandos_ammo_pack
We sank a dickload of hours into that too :D

About Giana’s Return

Giana’s Return aims to be a worthy UNOFFICIAL sequel of “The Great Giana Sisters”. There is an official sequel for Nintendo DS named “Giana Sisters DS” ( [url]http://www.giana-sisters.com/[/url] ) and also has slightly more levels than Giana’s Return. In other words, it’s worth the money :)
Title: Might and Magic X

This weeks game: Might and Magic X, a game series I'll never play again after they ruined Heroes of Might and Magic with HOMM 4

Yahtzee does ask an interesting question though: Why DO Computer Games based on Card Games use representations of CARDS instead of awesome 3D graphic enhanced destructo-beat-em-ups?

Even Battlechess had animated battles back in the day

This weeks game is Dark Souls 2, and Yahtzee now likes the Dark Soul's series

I have also yet to meet a Dark Souls fan who isnt insufferably smug
