Best game reviews eva!

[Distorted]

That was a surprisingly good bunch of clips. Baldur's gait, in particular.

Though why must people constantly apologise for clip shows?

Gah! I hate cheesey clip shows. Throw in the fact that that lazy shit Yahtzee gets paid for that then we all deserve an apology!

[nick247]

yes but WE arent paying him

[Arnifix]

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.

Warning! Warning! Warning!

Do NOT be tempted to watch 'Unskippable'. Its crap. I didnt even make it past 2 minutes. Its a MST3K style critque of Eternal Sonata's(a game I've never ever heard of) intro

GAH! I'm offended! That was clearly au accent.

Bad review, he was too kind to such a sh!t game........

[Scunner]

Yeah I kept thinking it sounded like one of those bad Aussie accents the Americans do.

There didnt seem to be much in this one. Could some it up with:

*Graphics are good
*Story is bad
*Too repetitive

[brucewillis2]

*Story is bad
*Too repetitive

that's what everyone tells me. So repetitive in fact that some couldn't be bothered completing it.

I got right into Farcry but waited to hear everyones verdict and now I'm glad I didn't waste the monkey. Might go off and play kings quest now - ahhh can't beat the classics!

[Tiwaking!]

True. It was all of the above

But it was easy. I can forgive a shit game if its easy

So just like the first farcry then.

[Arnifix]

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.

[brucewillis2]

So just like the first farcry then.

actually I thought the first farcry had an ok storyline, there was some character development, you get doublecrossed, good battle at the end. Also it had that water which looked so nice. Always good to take a dip after a firefight.

[GhostOfGallipoli]

meh, im really enjoying playing through it TBH

[Spork]

FUck I needed a good laugh, this shit delivered like I did not expect, GH world tour and far cry 2 review was wasome!

In the meantime, Gears fans who just can't wait to kill more of the Locust Horde can work around the problem by simply setting the PC clock to a date prior to Jan 27, 2009. Updates and news of a proper fix will be posted when they become available.

LOL! Gears of War meets Animal Crossing

well that's not what I expected he actually likes it... he doesn't trust the creativity of the general user though.

spoiler tags, dick.

im gonna go out on a limb here and suggest something.

is yahtzee as good as it use to be? or is it just the same metaphors and analogys each week?

and the site has got all gay and advertisy, each week there's a new thing popping up telling me to buy something, now its embedded in the fucking player.

[Apteryx]

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.

Yes I don't think the reviews are quite as funny as they used to be.
