As much as it pains me to say this, my friends has Blops. My sister played it as well and she told me the game was buggy. AI is crap, explosives are hard to work with, and in some areas, you might be inexplicably dragged back, like your legs are on a playback-repeat switch. So from what I understand, from my third-person view, the game isn't all what it's cut out to be. So how do my friends come into this? They don't play the main story, just the online multiplayer...and they love it, blissfully ignoring many of the problems. Me? Not a fan of the war games, save maybe Halo, but it seems to be, if you truly love something, you can forgive him/her for the faults they have that annoy you, and I think that is what's going on. That game, for all it's worth, may be truly bad, but people still love it, and that's what's happening. It has nothing to do with actual merit, and that, that my fellow Escapists...is why I feel like burning down some of these fanboys' houses.
You know, it's too bad Ethan wasn't the origami killer. If he was, maybe we could've gotten him to shoot Blake in the face. Oddly enough, I kind of liked Blake's take-no-bullshit attitude at first, but then later was like, "Ok, he's taking it a little too far."Kermi said:
I wish more would call out Heavy Rain's story. Along with Yahtzee, the only ones I can think of off the top of my head are Destructoid and GamesRadar.
In fact, the latter has this article about Heavy Rain's "plot":

Wait, why is Sonic colors (the DS version) nominated for best handheld game?
Look, I freaking LOVED the Wii version, it was FANTASTIC, but the DS version feels like Sonic rush with all the fun parts chopped out!

Hey dumbass its Call of Duty Black Operations.REPTILE 0009 said:
If you want to complain about someones shorthand don't go and use your own shorthand to complain about it. Also COD: BlOps is a commonly used shorthand for this game online.
Jesus, Yahtzee. Can you find something other than Schadenfreude to base your articles/videos around? You really are becoming tiresome (for anyone who's mature, that is).
Christ I fucking hope the Academy Awards never taints the video game industry with their back-ass, corrupted opinions. The last thing we need are designers, voice actors, and artists all subscribing to the predictable, narrow-minded ideas the Oscars instill.
LA Noire is being developed by Team Bondi. It's also their first game. Rockstar is publishing and funding it but that's all. Quantic Dream has made several games before, and it got loads of support from Sony.Kermi said:
Fifa11 is considered by many to be the best sports game ever made. It's not that unrealistic a nomination, specially for the british audience the awards was intended for.gigastar said:
And honestly, I would vote Fifa11 over Mass Effect 2 any day of the week. In fact, I did vote for it in the BAFTA GAME award that was open to public voting, because neither God3 nor AC:B were nominated for it, and it's probably the game I spent most time on in 2010, and the game I always pop when I have friends over.
It's good to see an award show with nominations that weren't copy pasted from spiketv's goty awards.
Totally asked the same thing.Odegauger said:
I'm also glad to hear that Yahtzee has also raised an eyebrow at Mario Galaxy 2. Seriously while the game sure isn't "bad" there is absolutley nothing in the game that wasn't done better in the first game.
ha, everyone on the escapist hates the shit out of black ops. while by no means the best game of 2010 to me (that's heavy rain, thank you for not asking), it was a very fun shoot-em-up romp through varied locales coupled with a weird as hell thriller story, while being fairly simple, was presented in a really brilliant manner that just got waaay under your skin. and the multiplayer is as addicting as mw2 ever was. sorry, gaming elitists. the unambitious simply fun game wins this year.
Most of those plot holes listed don't even make sense, unless you go by video game logic instead of actual logic.Stabby Joe said:
I don't need to read past Hole number 1 to see a stupid list
About Hole 1: We didn't see her interacting with the killer on screen therefor she never heard his name, despite being a journalist investigating the same case as the PI/Killer, and talking to/interrogating the same people. Why wouldn't a journalist know the name of the people involved in the investigation, specially one that was on the center of it?
Fixed. I would argue that the story is neither simple nor well delivered that leads up to a twist they make painfully obvious about half-way through the game, and that the multiplayer was, surprise, essentially the same as the last 3 games they've released. Packaged with Activision's usual bullshit (charging out the ass for maps, laughable mod support, etc.) it is really nothing special. If having actual standards for games demanding original ideas, and knowing when the popular opinion is misguided makes me an elitist, then darn, I'm an elitist.Ashcrexl said:
