Out-Stucking-Fanding review of the game that is currently eating into all my free time,

Also, Does the good Benjamin Croshaw alwoys include songs from Guitar Hero II in the End credits of his reviews.. Hmm... keeps me pondering.

Spamout

awesome review as always.

Yep, I'm agree about the final and the epilogue... I was like "what the hell? what kind of perverse mind can finish a game like this?"
It seems that infinity ward guys don't know how end a game. In the other CoD's you can't see a proper ending since it's the 2nd world war (well, that's a lie since you can see the end on the fist CoD...), so this time they had to do something new, despite the game's plot ended up looking like most home-films in which the war begins at the start of the movie and ends at the end of the movie, during more or less a week.

But anyway, the game is still aweesome.

REvolve:
I didnt find this review as funny as previous ones, but oh well.

You'll notice that this always coincides with those games Yahtzee didn't really want to review and just eventually caved in to shut up the entire internet.

Ambition:
The jokes all seemed forced and rather empty.

Thought i was the only one. Made me smile but the previous ones have made me laugh out loud.

I guess its just repetitive after a while. What was once fresh and new becomes stale and worthless.

Also suggesting that anyone who suggests a game for him to review can basically go **** themselves doesn't endear me to him.

See you next week...

something is a little off with the sound and reading tempo... I have a feeling that Yahtzee changed something in his work pipeline or did this review in a hurry...

Garfunkle:
I wouldn't mind if the Theatre replaced ZP. Although I would miss the reviews, Painkiller is probably my most watched Yahtzee video.

Gotta love pufferfish :D

i just finished the game this morning and i agree with most of it...

only bad things is the US-propaganda and the length of SP (did it in 5 hours in one session).

Ps. absolutly love the gullie mission

Zapboy:
Yes, finally

I see yahtzee has answered the prayers of many :)

And answered accordingly hahahhaha! Winchester Cathedral XD

Its the same "perverse mind" that gave you "aftermath"...a whole level that wasnt even playable...maybe you didnt get the "message" ;)

If Game Reviews were fine art, people telling Yahtzee what to review would be like asking Van Gogh to draw your favorite Dragonball Z character.

LOL,

Great review!

Excellent Gunwank had me rolling. The German Porn star was pretty funny as well.

Loved it.

Thank you.

I've been avoiding this game because I was mostly done with COD after 3, which are fun games, but usually cater to the slower players that enjoy hiding behind a rock 99% of the time until it's safe to dash under the next rock, luckily placed 20 feet in front of first mentioned rock. Not to say that COD hasn't been challenging at all, it's like LOST however, nearly anyone can get into it because there's something for everyone (as long as you're a "hardcore" gamer and love FPS games, of which there are desperately few!).

You know, it's getting harder to sense the POV dujour on comments, usually it's some uninformed ass backwards assumption (GH3's OMG ITS SO HARD YOU'RE A FREAK FOR LIKING THIS GAME) so it's usually easy to avoid arousing the 50 or so idiots waiting to start their own flame wars. With this I don't know...oh wait this is a generic shooter that any moron on the planet could enjoy and runs on the X-Treme Gamer CONSOLE, 95% of the audience can't insult themselves...I get it.

The continuous respawn turned this game from "Oooh, nice" to "FPS WoW - lots of grinding" >:|

HuCast:

I meant that the ending is dissapointing since the game is really short in comparision with the other CoD's.
When you reach the collapsing bridge you think "well, after this I'll get a new bunch of missions, probably taking place 4 or 10 years after this..."
But no, the only thing you get is everybody having a bullen on their heads and a "finish him" sequence in which the only thing you miss is "fatality" written with red bold letters on the top of the screen.

Hell YA! ...and it was well worth it, if just for the animosity. ;) What can I say, he hit everything on the money as per the usual which just goes to say that there is still no other reviewer I trust more than Yahtzee, he tells it like it is and pulls no bloody punches.

It made me laugh when one of the british soldiers said "what the bloody hell is that?"
Last time I checked, that doesn't make any sence, but who give a fucking hell shit?

Excelent review as always, might have a little much profanity in it.

The CoD4-----Portals-Jesus jokes realy did lighten up my day.

I'm pretty sure he uses Windows Movie Maker and Photoshop. He makes a reference to it in his review that he did right after his travelogue (can't remember the name)

Anyways, I've made a ZP style movie just to see what it was like. And it took me around 10 hours. (Of course I had to freshly create all the art)

But I used WMM and Photoshop. You can tell that he definitly uses at least one type of adobe products since he uses the magic background eraser tool on some of his internet pictures.

Oh and coming up with really funny similies and anologys is WAY hard. Maybe Brittish people have some witty simile gene because my fav author, terry pratchett, comes up with them too.

My attempt goes like
Hmmm its as slow as
aaaaaaas.....
somethin.... slow hmmm
(my brain?)

Anyways I had fun ranting on these comments. And making a ZP video is $@^@$^ annoying since you can't change a pict in WMM, unless you open up photoshop reedit in there, flatten save as BMP or w/e and put back into WMM.

Nice review Yahtzee

I think the turning point for me in this game was also the american death scene because

1) It was awesome watching buildings disintergrating and great big mushroom cloud forming over the whole of the iraq...I mean, unnamed middle east area

2)Your charcter dies, which is cool. The whole heart beating thing was kind of cool

3)The american dies, not the british guy

4)the american dies, not the british guy

However I kind of found most of the game kind of fustrating and maybe it's just because I need some seriouse medical attention but the story just confused me. Also I thought the german porn stars mastash was halarious. Plus the multiplayer causes me to go into a huff because I'm no good compared to my mates. I'm not a big fan of war games myself, partly because I'm more amused by bright colours and funny noises rather than gritty, real life, happening now stuff. This may explain why I like halo so much...

Ambition:
I dunno - There are *much* better ZPs out, this one seemed a little uninspired. Perhaps a lack of enthusiasm, who knows.

You. Are. High.

This was hilarious. I was literally in tears.

some random guy:
It made me laugh when one of the british soldiers said "what the bloody hell is that?"
Last time I checked, that doesn't make any sence, but who give a fucking hell shit?

It does make sense really - "a fucking hell shit" isnt the same as "what the fucking hell is that?" In the first one you are adding the adjective to shit, so it should be "fucking shit", whereas in the second one you are adding it in to the sentence "what the hell is that?", so hell gets the adjective, i.e. fucking hell, "what the fucking hell is that"? Substitute for bloody as appropriate!

:)

Any one else piss them selves at the triple cunted hooker?

Firstly, I liked the game a lot, might be because it's been ages since I played with a shooter and recently upgraded my computer to something not shit. Though you could have mentioned the very aggrevating YOU DIED FROM A GRANADE, YOU COCKSLAPPER, TRY THROWING IT AWAY (this message has been shown 544878684564465486 times). Though some people might like it that way, I hate being told i have a small penis over and over again. Which I don't.

Also Epilogue on Veteran is fookin' difficult. I managed to do eventually.

Disappointed

Yahtzee is constantly going on about he doesn't listen to requests then kinda bends over backwards and does COD4. Needs abit of consistency if he's going to rant at requests. He also needs to get back to early ZP work when he listened to no-one except maybe the editor at Escapist and the jokes are getting a little repetitive.

As for COD4 - an average game with no special merit.

I knew he was going to make a teeny tiny rant about the incessant gibbering that some people was apparently doing.

Nice work. I downloaded CoD4 about 5 times and then deleted it before I got the courage up to actually try the game. I'm just so scared of it being like Battlefield, which is a mix of good and suck that I'm not interested in dealing with.

one of the best review you've done for a while Yahtzee had me properly laughing, which doesn't happen much.

oh and i think you liking a game is ok not matter what anyone says

i'd still like to see a few more intro theatre movies that'd be great

and because that sentance was boring wheee thwak very silly jelly hat!

yay!

You truley have power if you can shut up the internet.

Yahtzee, I know you told anyone who was going to recommend games to get sodomized by a religious phallus, but I can't help myself.

Plus I'd like to recommend a really, really good independently made game.

Dwarf Fortress is a game where you create your own civilization. I would say 'from the ground up', but that's not really accurate, since you can either build above or below ground or a mixture of either. It gives you complete control over your civilization (to a rather annoying point- you can choose what materials dwarf-constructed walls and floors are made out of, which can get kind of annoying if you're making, say, a 10x10 room) from who lives there to what crops they grow to where they go to get their heads bashed in. It's basically like Black and White minus the whole 'god' thing and plus more control over the world. The worst point is the graphics and perhaps the story- It's an ACSII game, and the story is generated based on the characters you create, so it could come out as utter gibberish. But aside from that, there's loads to do and explore.

Linkage!

I only made this account so I can state my opinion regarding this week's review.

Yahtzee, I've loved every one of your reviews but this one was disappointing. In this review you sound more like a fanboy rather than a real gamer. I like the fact that you listen to your fans but I don't think you should be influenced by them. What happens if halo4 is released and a few millions xbox fans will want it reviewed?

You criticized (in one way or the other) every single game you've review, even the ones you really liked (such as bioshock); and yet you praise CoD4 like its' the next coming of Christ.

Don't get me wrong, CoD4 is a very good game but it has its flaws. I mean you have less freedom than a dog on a leash. It's more scripted than a jerry springer show. The AI can sometimes be as dumb as a rock, but that will be hard to notice since they will re-appear more than penis enlargement ads when surfing the net.

Please Yahtzee, don't let yourself be influenced by you fanbaaaaase again.

So what you're saying is Yahtzee forgot people don't like it when he likes games.
