    Escape to the Movies: Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Dark and Action-Packed

    I can't tell if this was aimed at me or not, but just in case it was: I aren't saying The Avengers was the best film ever, I was just pointing out that that is a common description of movies used by Bob. I'm not sure why but for some reason The Avengers has become the yardstick that he measures...

    Escape to the Movies: Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Dark and Action-Packed

    Why? I'm not saying his bias makes him dislike rival comic book companies, I'm saying he is incredibly pro Marvel Studios. You can like both Coke and Pepsi whilst still over hyping one of them and that is still bias. My notion of Bobs over the top praise comes from... well... watching his...

    Escape to the Movies: Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Dark and Action-Packed

    I'm not saying anything like any of those. Marvel have made some good films and some bad ones and Bob has over hyped them all. It seems to stem from the fact that he's a huge fan of the single universe continuity stuff and because Marvel are riding a wave of goodwill after The Avengers. That's...

    Escape to the Movies: Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Dark and Action-Packed

    He's right though? Bob has given every Marvel film a tongue bath up to yet, regardless of quality. I don't see the harm in pointing out a reviewers readily apparent bias towards a certain intellectual property, studio, individual etc. There's nothing wrong with a reviewer having a bit of bias...

    Escape to the Movies: Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Dark and Action-Packed

    Water is wet, the sky is blue and Bob heaps glowing praise upon another Marvel film. I swear this is like the 3rd film to be classed as "the best non-Avengers Marvel film" and since one of them was Iron Man 3 (which was pretty terrible) the words have began to lose all meaning.

    Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto 5

    I see your point but the issue is that not all those points are accurate or even true. The game gives you a nutter to do your insane sandbox stuff with to diminish the whatever whatever dissonance thing and this is an inherent flaw with any game where a character has a personality but lets me...

    Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto 5

    1) Criticise fanboys 2) Discuss unrelated topic 3) Offer vague reasoning for poor review 4) Be a fanboy and try to justify poor review on Yahtzees behalf. He barely discusses the actual game whilst comparing it unfavourably to glitchy DLC that was turned into a full release and his few...

    Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto 5

    You're exaggerating a problem that has an easy fix. The starting option is basically Aim Assist from CoD with a bit of enemy trailing. If you drag away from the suggested target or hold the trigger down for any notable period of time you end up in free aim, it's a pretty simple/consistent aim...

    Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto 5

    The middle ground is the default, just like everything else. Experienced gamers will find the hard lock makes fights trivial whereas newer gamers could find free aim a bit challenging. Decisions like this aren't made on a whim and calling it "the crap one" because it's not your favourite implies...

    Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto 5

    You can change the targeting in the options menu between free aim, soft lock like RDR and a hard lock like previous GTA games. If you're having issues with one you could try switching to another. I think my main gripe with GTA5 is that there's never really any value in taking a lower ability...

    Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto 5

    I can understand looking for balance in reviews, that isn't really what's going on here though. It feels more like people looking for smug validation that they made the right decision to not play a popular game so they focus on the negative reviews and ignore the positive ones. It's confirmation...

    Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto 5

    Because the game had a huge budget, talented people in charge, a solid track record, time to refine the game to their satisfaction etc. I'm not saying it IS the best game ever made but the reason it gets more hype and expectation than any games released around it is because it has all the...

    Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto 5

    Yeah, I'm aware it's not an intentional glitch, I was being needlessly sarcastic because the game is legitimately an unintentional glitchy mess as well as the intentional stuff. The jump crash is just one of many pretty serious glitches I've had, others include people vanishing off the map...

    Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto 5

    You... you realise you have a taxi company in your contact list from the start of the game right? You also realise that taxis seem to work in exactly the same way as before? I have skipped more journeys in this game than a skipper skipping stones whilst skipping. The talk of SR4 being...

    Poll: Evolution Yay or Nah?

    To be fair, that insect does look leaf shaped because of evolution which provided protection from predators. You're right when you say it wasn't a deliberate thing on the insects part but implying that you can't describe the process as "evolution which provided protection from predators" is...
