Zero Punctuation: Inversion Pages 1 2 3 NEXT | |
I really hated this game. I thought it was going to be a unique gem after the TomSka video but it just became another repugnant shooter. Anyway, thanks for your input Yahtzee. | |
Be ye video game? or be ye checklist? That's going on my imaginary list of "best things Yahtzee said". | |
Maybe it's called Inversion because Russel Davis/Davis Russel's favorite desert is Upside Down cake? | |
Ha! That ending really got me! Anyway, does anyone mind spoiling that plot twist for me? (In tags, natch.) I mean, after that, it's not like I was going to play it anyway. EDIT: never mind, I found out and it makes sense. If you want spoilers, go to this forum. | |
I'm surprise he didn't talk about the crazy plot twist near the end of the game that turns the whole game into a giant MINDFUCK!!!!!!! | |
I hate it when a game promises you Cadbury creme eggs and then doesn't deliver. Not even those mini creme eggs. Damnit. | |
Did we just get Fresh Prince'd by Yahtzee? | |
It's gotta be Russel Davis. And maybe it's actually about the writer/producer of Torchwood and the whole game is what goes on inside his head. | |
If the fact that a game has guns in it makes me reconsider a purchase, there's too damn many shooters in the market :/ | |
Fresh Prince is timeless! Hmmm..Prince of Bel-Air: Sands of Time. Sorry, trying to think of something better than a boilerplate shooter. | |
And you'd like to take a minute just sit right there to tell us how you became the prince of a town called Bel-Air? | |
then youre grinding up the model airplane components to help beef up the glue. | |
Wait there was a Tomska video about this game? When was this? | |
To quote Lord Humongous: "Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror." | |
That's a bit like Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom then, but in that game you can start figuring out the twist by the end of the first "generation". | |
The only thing I'd ever seen about this game was the cover art. I guess it was one of those games that the publisher was embarrassed by. Who was the publisher anyway? And no, I'm not going to Google it, because I don't really care. On another note, Fresh Prince: The Game. Somebody make that right now. | |
I think this was released during E3. You can definitely tell that the publisher just wanted to get this out there without anyone noticing. | |
I wanto play that NOW. Get on it, Ubisoft!
But what then will Yahtzee gripe about? Good to see him back spewing his hate bile on cliche'ed malarkey. | |
So they basically borrowed one mechanic from Half-Life 2, another from Prey, didn't implement either one very well, and called it a day? | |
It's remarkably similar to Phantasy Star III. But yes, in PSIII there was some foreshadowing before the big reveal at the end. Wasn't there a village in the second generation where elders told the whole story? I'm not quite sure. I'm surprised anyone remembers PSIII. | |
It's sort of like but without the gripping plot and amazing visuals and proper use of super powers.So, boring. | |
There's only one thing worse than a game that rips off elements form elements from other games and that's when they do it all wrong. | |
...and I'd like to take a minute just sit right there, I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Brisbane. In Rugby 'wickshire born and raised in my bedroom I would spend most of my days. Shootin' all clickin' all and relaxing all cool when my parents they were up to no good! Started making trouble for my neighborhood! I stopped getting dinner and that made it abundantly clear I said "I'm moving by myself in Australia, Brisbane." I booked on a jet and when it came near I thought what's with this is a giantic falick with straight veins! If anything I could say that this plane was bland but I thought man forget it yo home to Brisbane! I pulled up to a house with major jet lag and said yo pops, smell ya later! I looked at the internet I was finally there to sit on my throne as the prince of The Escapist. (I tried) | |
Wow, that Fresh Prince joke caught me off guard! Yet another dreary, soulless shooter to avoid then? Yawn. I think this year's E has shown us all the games we really should pay attention to. | |
For some reason, the gravity mechanic described here makes me think back to Destroy All Humans, and the psychokinesis power. God, I want to play that game again now. That's how such a power should be implemented. I remember bouncing enemies off every solid surface I could find, or if I was outside, flinging them high into the air before blasting them with the desintegrator ray to see if I could vapourise them before they hit the ground. Ah, good times. Oh, and the time I beat a government agent to death with a cow. That was fun too. | |
This just in: Generic Game is a Generic Pile of Generic Crap. It's a Namco Bandai title. I'm almost not surprised. | |
What I enjoyed doing was placing the farmer' wife on the roof of a shed next to a lake while she was still alive, then jumping up to have her scream "MY GOLLY, LITTLE GREEN MEN!!!" and run in the opposite direction, only to forget that there was a lake there, drop off the building and drown. OT: So they just took that one gravity shift thing from PREY, except took out the acid launching shotguns and implemented cover, as well as a physics gun of sorts that has lost almost all efficiency? | |
Once again, ideas from Half Life 2 are used horribly wrong.
Time to pull out the Genesis and dust off those cartridges. | |
And i even believed that it might be good after watching some scripted gameplay footage, what a fool i was. | |
We need a fresh prince game, like right now. | |
There could be a minigame of seeing how far you can throw Jazz out the door! | |
This is why I watch this show, in order to find out whether or not I'll like the games. Problem is, half the time I just don't buy the games he reviews and just pick up whatever cutesy XBLA game is cheapest. Like for instance, I'm playing Minecraft. And that's about it. | |
I don't know why but beefing up glue sounds great! | |
