Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood

[CMon]

I remember playing Red Dead Revolver. Every major boss fight amounted to a showdown,

Well, not ALL of them. You've got that fat circus freak that tries to blow himself up; you along with him.

 

[Savioritis]

I really enjoy these Extra Punctuations, and I'm glad Yahtzee takes the time to do them.

Also, I about died laughing at the Gene Wilder/Blazing Saddles comment.

The whole showdown part, as you said is a more realistic quick time event but at least developers are trying new things but I see that some people might just not be able to complete the showdown events later on.

Oh and its a good idea to have a readers comment in itallic since I found it hard to see whos comment was whos.

Not every boss fight, but just about all of the main ones. The last one pissed me off, because it was an old governor who could somehow muster perfect reflexes and an excellent reaction time.

But we never hear anything from nintendo. We know that there is going to be a new mario and a new metroid for the wii... And that's it. How can you be so thick that you do not understand that. Nintendos marketing for the console is basically "Look, we have a console for the whole family with simple games you can enjoy for about an hour a day".

Funny thing? That's what Nintendo did way back with the NES too. Or we might want to call it the Family Computer.

Nintendo themselves put out more of their core franchise titles in the first two years of the Wii than they managed for the N64 or the Gamecube. This is a fact, and proves that people just enjoy whining about a problem that was largely fabricated by media.

Yay! That's all that I need to say.

Ohright.

Yeah, that game WAS pretty annoying.

Very happy to hear someone voice a similar opinion to my own on what Nintendo is doing to itself. It's a trend to casual gamers and practically a blight to the hardcore gamer. Not only that, but the "new" Mario and Zelda games can hardly be called that much different to the previous installments. Nintendo has been making the bare minimum changes to these franchises in order to keep the fans at bay for years. How seriously different is Ocarina of time from Twilight Princess or even Super Mario Brothers from the New Super Mario Brothers? Enough to get a different experience, but nothing truly new to the table in either instances. Where is the innovation, or have they very well given up on that?

nice going Yahtzee yet another great artical and Video

 

[SlickShot]

A-Fucking-men to the last two paragraphs. Great show Yahtzee!

 

[Omega Hunter 9]

The paragraph about long time gamers being overrun by the new was well received. Thanks! While the two can co-exist, they can't when one is being given preferential treatment.

 

[Booze Zombie]

I like your opinion on "casual gamers".

Seriously.

 

[Falcon123]

Thanks, Yahtzee, for the extra info. It's nice to have something to keep us entertained while we wait for the next vid. Also, you were exactly right about casual gamers. While it's understandable that Nintendo would overproduce shallow games for these idiots so they can continue making way too much money off of their stupidity, for the rest of us real gamers, this is nothing more than a nuisance. I, for one, hope to see more Mario and Zelda games and less "we're going to show off our gimmick for the hell of it" games.

 

[roboosh]

I was wondering when this would come out. Good show Yahtzee. Also, I vote we start a petition to get more Westerns ending with Giant Robot Spider Fights(tm).

Timeshift actually ended with a giant robot spider boss fight.

 

[Mitsukya]

I loved the sly reference to Wild Wild West. Even though I'm only 14, that was one of my FAVORITE movies back in 'the day!
I still have the soundtrack CD!

 

[lenin_117]

I would rather have heard this in the video. Would have been summarised in under 30 seconds and a lot funnier.

 

[Maku1024]

My buddy has a Wii solely for Super Smash Bros. Brawl; otherwise it's a shit console that he uses for his Gamecube games because he already sold that.

 

[RikSharp]

Anyway Yahtzee (eventhough youre probably not reading this) the Cowboys had a thing called honour, they'd rather kill through a totally fair showdown than my shooting someone in the face while he sleeps.

Christ, they're not Samurai. Besides Cowboys were men who would run the cattle from the Ranch to the Railroad, not Gunslingers who's enemies would drop dead in the street with an unexplained bullet wound.

Pistols at dawn, bring nobody

As for the cowboys stuff, you know what I meant with that..

Pistols? I choose the Banjo.

good call, i were thinking the same very thing, and when you are about to play, my brother from the crowd: Look behind you, a three headed monkey!

 

[Jupsto]

love it. Keep stigging it to nintendo, dont ever give in!
