Razorfist gives his oh so tactful review on DA2

[Belgian_Waffles]

For those of you who know who Razorfist is, I think you know where he's going with this.
Dragon Age: Origins was his favorite game of 2009 (as was mine.) If you haven't heard of Razorfist yet this is a great jumping off point, he's one of the best, most honest "game critics" at work right now. http://www.youtube.com/user/xRazorFistx#p/u/6/gOnmQHATLQE

So what do you think? Agree/disagree?

Edit about companion gear:
If anyone really wants to know why they won't let us change our companion's armor I've figured it out...
The only reason they pulled that bullshit is so that they can sell us "alternate costume packs" later.
I'm fucking calling it right now.

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

Yeah, he can fuck right off.

I just lost my british composure because I am so pissed off with all the constant 'WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH BIOWARE DIDN'T DO EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED THEM TO DO!!'

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Is he one of those game reviews that feels obliged to curse in every other word? Possibly as some bad impersonation of the Angry Videogame Nerd?

 

[Belgian_Waffles]

No, I didn't get paid, I don't even agree with him.
I was apparently under the delusion he was popular. My bad, everyone just let this thread go away.

 

[Radoh]

Ugh, him again, I feel guilty for giving him another view to his video.

I feel that he is one of the most vile creatures to be spawned of the internet who does his best to be like Yahtzee but just doesn't know how, so he substitutes reviewing with vulgarity.

That is my opinion on razorfist.

 

[Zaik]

Boo hoo hoo I didn't get Baldur's Gate 3.

It's "honest" when they agree with you, eh?

Nobody(competent) is calling it some grand flawless miracle of game design, but it wasn't a bad game.

You people seem dead set on trying to convince me that I somehow didn't enjoy it, when I'm still fairly sure I did.

I agree with him on a few points,
and if you love the game more power to you, I enjoyed it myself.
I call him honest because he doesn't sugar coat his opinion.

Edit: shit I bumped the thread.

 

[Blood Countess]

I gotta love a pathetic fan boy
Honestly DA 2 was disappointing in some aspects but it wasn't that god damn bad, seriously, it wasn't FFXIII

Well sure he doesn't sugar coat, but he does the exact opposite. Besides, if you sugar coat you still convey your opinion, just less offensive, it doesn't mean he fabricated his feelings or render him "dishonest", it would just make him a decent person.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

Oh YEAH, I like that guy! As much as I think he overreacts and blows thing out of proportion (aside from his gamestop rant), he's funny to listen to.

I forgot he reviewed DA2! Gonna check that out tomorrow.

 

[Belgian_Waffles]

I mean seriously, if people actually felt this way about a game, maybe gaming shouldn't be their hobby.

It's okay to not like a game, or be upset about some features or lack there of, but this drivel doesn't sound like it was meant to be humorous. It just sounds hateful.

I could be wrong, and honestly I couldn't get past 3 minutes of the vid.

True enough, everyone has their own opinion but I agreed with him on a fair amount of points and thought I should share
Don't shoot the messenger.

If anyone tries to call anything Baldurs Gate 3 I'll gut them.
I am a Baldurs Gate fanboy. And I am proud of this.
Best game ever. One one one, exclamation marks.

Neither does Yahtzee, and Yahtzee admits he just goes poking around for flaws to give him something to rip on, no matter how good the game may be otherwise.

 

[Danpascooch]

About two seconds into the video I saw his video style, and how he dresses himself and just immediately closed the tab.

No.

 

[Xannieros]

I wish I had my time back. Not for DA2, I enjoyed that. But for listening to him.

Very few sequels are like the original. Expecting anything of the sort is just poor judgement on your part, not the developers.

 

[striker_002]

RAGE!

Never saw this guy before, is this his usual review style, over dramatizing the negatives similar to yatzee?

DA2 is fairly different from DA:O and that may be the crux of why some fans are PO'd. I still consider it a overall "good" game, though the rather massive "bug" of having no autoattack in the 360 version didn't help player's perceptions of it becoming an action game.

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

Once again, the Escapist responds to anything they don't like by dismissing it. I didn't like his style, but I sat through to the end and found he made some good points.

 

[Tony2077]

natural selection where have you gone i really miss you

 

[ZeoAssassin]

what i never really got about that guy is he constantly insults Yahtzee in every other review with cheap shots about him being a hack or whatever......despite the fact that he shares Yahtzee's opinion on quite a few games (such as the thief series) and more or less trys to copy the ZP style anyway.

he can get annoying sometimes but i still enjoyed his gamestop rant, that 'review' is the only one worth checking out....
