I wonder if Yahtzee's tried out Recettear himself at all. I think he'd appreciate the somewhat-irritable loan shark pixie character who kicks off the plot by shaking down a parentless 8-year-old over her father's massive debt.

I'd argue it's kinda the opposite, for me at least. The more a work is trying to portray itself as grounded in reality or physics the more glaring inaccuracies like that become (combined with how important the details of said elements are to the plot*). Gurren Lagann and the like take a...

How have park management sims somehow regressed in terms of crowd AI? Rollercoaster Tycoon managed to have hundreds of individual guests all with pathing from the entrance, a variety of preferences, and stats for hunger, thirst, pocket money, willingness to spend it, and nausea way back in 1999...

Guess "instinct being to always shoot for best ending" means not carrying on past fake-out credits, ey? I feel like it wouldn't mesh very well with his review style. It's kinda hard to make 5 minutes of fast-paced snarky comedy out of "has a ton of potential but delivers on almost none of it...

For what it's worth, Condemned 1 actually did go a bit snooker loopy 'round the 95% mark as well. Once you're done dealing with the serial killer in the creepy house you wind up transported to some mystical farm-ish area where you beat the stuffing out of some culty monster dudes before...

Oh get a room already.

Genna Bain even remarked that she was glad her late husband (TotalBiscuit) wasn't there to see that. What an absolute disgrace to shit on a long-beloved series like that after so long. https://clips.twitch.tv/MildHorribleWombatShadyLulu

That discount persists for about a month or so post-release too though, so you've still got time to check in with a critic you consider reliable before putting up your $48. It seems to mostly just be Just Cause 3: Another One from what I recall. Hopefully with more wacky bullshit like the...

It's either that or David just not knowing how the hell an economy works: On the topic of mass-unemployment an early in-game news report mentions the US unemployment rate reaching 38%, which is remarkably higher than the peak of the Great Depression (25%) and well over the threshold where...

Cage really doesn't improve with time, it's more that with all the money and push the game has been getting from Sony he was under more creative restrictions. Really the vibe I've been getting from Detroit is that Quantic Dream is a dev studio mostly full of fairly competent staff that is...

Guess Yahtzee thinks middle-aged bank office workers all just come stock with a comprehensive knowledge of firearms handling and ability to calmly and efficiently rob a gas station. Come on man, with how much the story cribs from/homages these sorts of films how did you not see something like...

If anything he's pushing the envelope further by doing the game granddad thing now.

Yeah the title's one of those weird cases where the Japanese rightsholders insisted that foreign releases stick to their weird half-competent English translation instead of something sensible because they think it sounds cooler. Anyways the reason they don't use guns is because their firearms...

He does drop a line in the ensuing fight about not having much ammunition for it, so odds are he wants to save the rest for emergencies. Can't exactly imagine that the Ghibli-esque fantasy world is brimming with .40 S&W Though it does strike me that him being low after a single shot would...

The whole finale of City World being a victory lap through a Donkey-Kong themed throwback stated to celebrate the city's history seems like pretty firm confirmation that the mayor is indeed that Pauline. If her performing the accompanying cheery ditty herself in reference to her original...
