His opinion on games is invalid, anyway. He has zero knowledge of video games. Why care about a worthless, ignorant opinion?Twilight_guy said:
OP: Ebert's and Brad Jone's reviews on Avatar. I love those two, but I just couldn't see it.
Yeah, because being forced to play 2 outdated games is totally like watching all the movies in a trilogy. I played all 3 and I still thought the story was bloody rubbish. Would it have killed them to make a "story so far" section? Of course not. But then snobs like you wouldn't have been able to act all high and mighty when new players were turned off by the fact that Halo's story just isn't that impressive.Thomas Lyons said:
Ebert's review of Thor
Yahtzee's ideas about the merit of multiplayer
Most reviews of Sucker Punch! which come down to "tits and guns, my Victorian sensibilities have been offended, 4/10."

Perhaps you could fill us in on what games you think had such a brilliant plot, you combative thicky.zhoominator said:
Any review of Starship Troopers ever.
Okay, Paul Verhoven may as well have handed a strapon to the critical community and bent right over by pretending that he was in any way making a serious war movie or anything remotely relevant to Robert Heinlein's book of the same name.
But there is such a thing as 'so bad it's good', and that movie hits it perfectly. You get to watch terrible actors get mauled by giant bugs and it is fun. Anything beyond that to me is missing the point, the world needs movies you can laugh at rather than with.

Same guy, different movie: Die Hard!Marter said:
How can you hate that much awesome cheese, I mean, really?!
Yes, and he is right. I know this...because I am one of them. I currently desire to catch all pokemon up to Gen 3 and rebought all Gen 3 games to do so. Ruby, Saphire, Emerald, LeafGreen, FireRed. Im trading constantly with myself, playing the games at the same time. This wont even get me all of them. I will have to cheat to get the super Legendary Pokemon. (Mew, Celebi, Jurachi) This only adds to the insanity of it all. They tell you to catch the dragon...but you never can...you never can...Tomster595 said:
Also Ebert is a total elitist snob.
I agree with these aspects. Finally someone has seen Titan A.E!believer258 said:
OT: As he said, Titan A.E., Final Fantasy Spirits Within, Atlantis the Lost Empire and some more movies I can't remember were great.
As for games I liked I would say Thief 3, and a little bit of Pathologic and The Void, even though Rock Paper Shotgun is basically a loyal fanatic crusader of these two games, which is great!
The only time I can think of where I have disagreed with Yahtzee was on Mirror's Edge. There are few differences though, he paid $120 AUD. I paid $20 USD. He played it on his well known to be middle-bottom of the line PC. I played it with an HD 3870 gfx card at the time (and since replayed it with an HD 5850) He played the demo. I didn't. So my experience right out of the gate was much more preferable. The flaws that he mentions in his review don't add up enough to be a deal breaker. The colorful environments, immersive camera, excellent soundtrack & brilliant, minimalistic approach to combat far outweighed the negatives of a very weak story, and others I can't remember. Plus, I enjoy doing speed-runs. To quote Jeff Goldblum, "Must go faster"

Is this one of those "careful what you wish for things?" Sounds to me like you found exactly what you were looking for and then realized you didn't actually like it.believer258 said:
Final Fantasy Spirits Within:
Yes, I know it was nothing to do with Final Fantasy, stop whining about it, you damned fanboy. On it's own merits it was a pretty decent film. Didn't age well though...
Movies Bob's Expandables Review:
I was the only who got the impression that the whole review was about Movie Bob ranting about Scott Pilgrim didn't gone so well as he should?
