Games you think Yahtzee would like

[Gorilla Gunk]

I have a feeling he's not going to hate Silent Hill: Downpour as much as he disliked Homecoming and Origins.

 

[WhiteFangofWhoa]

Front Mission 4. Not that he'd necessarily 'love' it, but it is excellent turn-based strategy in the vein of Valkyria Chronicles, and provides the opportunity for him to tackle two subjects I've wanted to see addressed- accents in games and giant mechs.

Yahtzee liking a video game? besides portal he can usually find a reason not to like a game

 

[octafish]

No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.S. Way. Because everyone loves NOLF2.

 

[Racecarlock]

My psychic senses tell me he'd enjoy Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time, Portal, Fallout 3, Thief and Silent Hill 2. Just a hunch.

Hunch my ass, you watched everyone of those reviews, the portal one being in orange box and the sands of time being in the prince of persia retrospective. You aren't nostradamus. I think yahtzee would enjoy that game he imagined in his fake duke nukem forever review. I also really think he'd enjoy armed and dangerous due to the fact that it has a gun that shoots motherfucking sharks. I wish I could make something like that up it shoots motherfucking sharks, it could only be more awesome if it also shot shurikens and lightning, had tits, and was on fire.

You really herped to the seventh ring of derp there in that little outburst... it was clearly a joke.

 

[Chibz]

I think Yahtzee should check out the game where he stops being a raging tard and learns about games & gaming in general.

Like that'll happen. *Eye roll*

I lolled.

He hates murmorpuggers BUT I think he would enjoy levelling a rogue just purely by doing battlegrounds. It's like the most fun sneakiness ever. You get that same thrill of stealth games when you manage to for example; infiltrate warsong hold and kill a druid being guarded by a paladin through effective use of cooldowns or ninja the flag and be across the field before anyone has even moved. Also, no grinding kill 20 boars etc quests and no requirement to be online 24/7. I don't play WOW anymore but that's something I really enjoyed.

I would love to see him review Little King's Story on the Wii. It's a Pikmin style game me and a friend really enjoyed but its cutesiness would probably make Yahtzee implode with fury.

Sorry. It's late at night and my sarcasm sense has derped itself.

 

[Aranialis]

one i'd think he might enjoy, even with a ugly review he would be able to make of it, would be Amnesia: Dark descent. its a great survival horror game, has its flaws, but its a horror game where you are supposed to be stealthy or die horribly. yeah i think he would defently appreciate that.

 

[silversnake4133]

Saints Row The Third is coming out later this year, and it looks to be even more wacky, unrestrained fun than Saints Row 2. So I'll just guess that'll he'll probably like it.

Okay, this is actually quite simple. Take all the games he has reviewed thus far and bitched the least at. Now look up what genre they are and keep a tally, the one that has the most after this experiment is the winrar. Oh and btw, he hates JRPGs with a passion. It doesn't matter if it's unlike anything the world has ever known, if it has that "J" before "RPG" he's probably going to stick his nose up at it and walk away.

He seems like a cat almost. XD

Someone didn't watch the FF13 review. HINT: There's more too it than just talking about how bad FF13 is.

Apparently someone doesn't listen too closely to them either. Dude, just cause he reviewed it doesn't mean he liked it. Yes I know he said he liked them when he was a kid, but when you're a game reviewer (a popular one at that) JRPG's (or any RPG's for that matter) are a subject that you would probably want to stay away from because they take the longest to play. And RPGs are essentially the same thing anyway: quests and leveling up. I'd say that only things that really separate a JRPG from a WRPG would be character design, plot twists, and graphics.

BTW, did you even read my last statement? I basically said that he's more likely to review big titles (or over-hyped ones) that are coming out and FF13 just happened to be one of them.

 

[kayisking]

He might like planescape torment, it has arguably the best story in a videogame, ever. The world is pretty interactive and open. The gameplay is 30-40% adventure game 60-70% d&d

I would love to hear Yahtzee review one of the .Hack games, just to hear the the hilarious criticisms i'm sure he would have of the games.

also yes

The game isn't even out yet and you already think yathzee will like it? That's like opening a round of russian roulette with six bullets in the chambers.
Edit: Oops, quoted wrong post. My bad.

 

[Fig_Hunter]

People who say Yahtzee hates games clearly haven't seen much of him, or read Extra Punctuation. He's a critic, not a reviewer. It's his job to nitpick and focus on the bad points. (And on that note, he has said he likes some JRPGs in one of his columns.)

I can't recommend many games, since my tastes are very different than his (I love JRPGs and hate shooters and horror), but I do know two games that I think would be to his taste: Pathologic and The Void. The former is an absolutely chilling psychological horror game, the latter is an artistic survival/resource management game. Articles about them:

Butchering Pathologic: Part 1, the Body [http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2008/04/10/butchering-pathologic-part-1-the-body/]
Butchering Pathologic: Part 2, the Mind [http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2008/04/11/butchering-pathologic-part-2-the-mind/]

Halo 4
Yep hes gonna love that!

 

[Hectix777]

Guild Wars
LoZ:OoT 3D
Golden Sun
Champions Online
Boktai:The sun is in your hands
KOTOR I&II
Any Megaman game, I just want to see his opinion on Megaman, what he thinks of the Blue Bomber. But if I had to choose I'd say Megaman Legends, mainly the one coming for 3DS. I love Megaman games...

 

[Fig_Hunter]

I wouldn't advise recommending games you love to Yahtzee, since he's almost guaranteed to mercilessly tear them apart.

Also, he dislikes the 3DS, remember?

 

[Blemontea]

At first I thought this was going to be ANOTHER thread asking if Yahtzee likes any games, thankfully not really the case...kinda...

personally Dark Cloud 2, and/or Bards Tale... maybe Okami, but i wouldn't be suprised if he had a lot to complain about it.
