Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1065 Joined: 27 Aug 2008    | Awesome! Best one in the last few months (imo). Keep up the anger! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2361 Joined: 14 Sep 2008    | I thought that Yahtzee is going to review Star Wars: The Force Unleashed but retro stuff is good too |

Press Junketeer  Posts: 473 Joined: 4 Jun 2008  | You're right, Yahtzee, Fantasy World Dizzy isn't the best game ever. Treasure Island Dizzy is. |

Paperboy  Posts: 24 Joined: 13 Feb 2008 | Good to hear some views on Castle Crashers; I've heard a lot of hype about it but didn't really know what it was like. Cheers. |
Paperboy  Posts: 43 Joined: 8 Jun 2008   | Awesome video, I like Castle Crashers and a very fun game when you play it with 4 people. It's not trying to "ape" Golden axe, they have based there game from Alien homnid |
Paperboy  Posts: 46 Joined: 2 Aug 2008     | That ZP was great, better than a lot of the others. |

You might want to try a proper review for that one. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 172 Joined: 13 Jun 2008 | Another great review :P The Hitler line got me laughing, but i REALLY Laughed when i saw the credits |
Paperboy Posts: 14 Joined: 22 Jul 2008 | for a second I thought he said wind waker was better then OoT, and thought he must have been on crack while playing that one |

Stupidly Hard ----> Reasonably Hard ----> Far to Easy/Games Yahtzee can Beat I kid on the last one. However, I do agree with your main point that perhaps gaming in general is getting too easy and perhaps a step back isn't always a bad thing when it's game mechanics and not graphics. |

Vault Legend  Posts: 2203 Joined: 30 Jul 2008    | An interesting little romp into the world of arcade gaming. Although, a notable comment that Yahtzee touched on, but missed home plate for: Games like Bionic Commando were difficult because they put you in the position to have finite mortality, and forced you to hop, skip, jump, and die in a pit of death back to the beginning of the stage because that's what makes it difficult. That's it. The designs are simple, which allows for simple memorization to fuel the patterns once you've got the speed of it down. The same way people can speed-run games like Ikaruga and Metal Slug. Sure, they're challenging, but once you've memorized them... That's it, game over, difficulty shot. So, in short, in review of a review. Good video, decent humor, but not as all-encompassing. Probably because it was cut apart into two games. Nothing to see here. Move along. EDIT Just, wow...
I... I'm at a loss for words on this one. I personally thought Wind Waker was the best of the Legend of Zelda series, or at least tying up with Link to the Past and Link's Awakening. Ocarina of Time, to me at least, was a large and very resounding "decent." Why do people hate on Wind Waker so much, was it the cel-shading? |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 54 Joined: 14 May 2008  | This review felt fresher and more full of bounce and ideas than some of the more recent ones, so it's definitely going on my rewatch/comb for icon ideas list. I can cheerfully confirm that I am utterly depraved. |
Paperboy  Posts: 35 Joined: 5 Dec 2007 | Uuh...yay? Seriously, maybe I'm just getting too used to this, but this video was absolutely mediocre. There wasn't even a single sequence, joke, line or image that was worth even a smirk. I suppose I should stop watching ZP for a while then come back. Who knows, maybe it'll improve it! |
Paperboy  Posts: 25 Joined: 13 Aug 2008   | What was the Hitler comment at the end all about? lol |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1705 Joined: 13 Jul 2008  | Ya, Sunshine is definatly better than Super Mario 64, but Twighlight Princess better than Ocarina of Time? It's close. |

Like, for example, this one: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/5252-Review-Castle-Crashers |
Paperboy Posts: 19 Joined: 14 May 2008 | wow no, maybe I'll give you Sunshine over Mario 64 (and definitely galaxy over it) but Twilight Princess over Ocarina of Time?...that's just ever so slightly categorically incorrect. there's an equation that proves it and everything it goes along the lines of: Ocarina = better than Twilight Princess. Simple. It had you as a bloody wolf for half the game and borrowed pretty much everything from Ocarina of time. eegads rant over funny chat today yahtzee, always hilarious calling children c*nts because they ARE |
