Paperboy  Posts: 24 Joined: 22 Oct 2008    | Wow, the world would be better without sequels. But I'm not heading for law or medical school, so bring em on anyway. |

Paperboy  Posts: 45 Joined: 31 Jan 2009  | That's it, Tomb Raider sentenced to death. Seems fair to me... |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4635 Joined: 15 Jun 2008    | That was better than I thought it would be... To be honest the industry has already run out of ideas WITH sequals so imagine how few games there would be in that universe... |
Paperboy  Posts: 30 Joined: 5 Feb 2009  | Thank god death penalty for remakes. I'm pretty sure that polisy alone is enough of a reason for us to elect Yahtzee president |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 828 Joined: 3 Jun 2008  | Nice! Great idea with the banning sequls one. Only problem is, we would miss out on such great sequels!! I really wish some people just had some orignality while making games. Still a great video! I think Yahtzee is getting funnier and funnier! He is now back to normal! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2007 Joined: 11 Jan 2009  | I have only played the Demo, the game looks fairly generic. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 175 Joined: 5 Nov 2007  |
Nope, the game industry would be dead. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2360 Joined: 14 Sep 2008   | A world without sequels? Lucas Arts have to be creative again. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4065 Joined: 23 Apr 2008    | Excellent review, and fortunately I don't seem to have missed out on anything by avoiding FEAR 2, just as I hoped. |
Paperboy  Posts: 32 Joined: 4 Mar 2008   | fantastic review as always, and your right about giving remakes the death penalty. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 514 Joined: 4 Jun 2008    | The red-hot second I saw the TV promos for FEAR 2, I knew Yahtzee would leap all over it, machete in hand and hockey mask proudly strapped on. He didn't disappoint! Do developers not know about Zero Punctuation? Or are the production teams really that thick? The only instances in which I believe QTEs work are rail shooters like House of the Dead or God of War where it's more of that Simon Says thing that helps you leap acrobatically around the latest giant boss to stab it in the eye. Speaking of stabbing things in the eye, sequels like this one (or Halo or Star Wars) need a good stiletto in the ocular socket if you ask me. ED-209 with a coffee mug made my day. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1227 Joined: 18 Jun 2008  | Wow. First time I have liked a review of your in a while; all becuase of a few Nice jokes and good points. P.S Glad you recognised that PC gamers are mostly elitist bastards. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 59 Joined: 18 Jan 2009   | Yahtzee, your world of no sequels sounds beautiful place! |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2360 Joined: 14 Sep 2008 |
Yeah right. Good joke. |
Paperboy  Posts: 25 Joined: 6 Nov 2008  | Applause for Yahtzee. Good show, Mr. Croshaw. I'm looking forward to the incarceration of the creators of Beyond Good and Evil too. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1342 Joined: 22 Aug 2008  | I know watching this without sound completely misses the point, but did he like it? As far as I can tell, no. I didn't even like F.E.A.R. 1, it wasn't scary, the AI wasn't nearly as good as everyone claimed, the pacing was terrible, why the fuck am I shooting at mechs? the list goes on about my complaints with F.E.A.R, and I don't think a sequel would make it better. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 166 Joined: 7 Nov 2007  | Very good ending on this one. However I wouldn't want to miss out on Valve's finest work just to avoid ignoring lucasarts and bungee ;) |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1353 Joined: 25 Feb 2009    | No sequels uh. What about silent hill 2? almost a great idea tough. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 58 Joined: 30 Jan 2008 | I'd give FEAR 2 a 3.5/5. It's mostly fun to play through, w/ bullet time & high production value, but has enough glaring console-port or iffy design/story issues to keep it down. |
Paperboy  Posts: 49 Joined: 9 Aug 2008 | But if there were no remakes or sequels, Capcom would have gone out of business at least a decade ago. ... Wait, I wonder if that's really a bad thing... |

True - but as he said, at least stories would have some damn closure! Like Anarchronox :( They never made n.o 2 and the story is unfinished |
