Unskippable: Zoids Assault

[Graham_LRR]

And the bit we cut... the FIVE MINUTES OF NOTHING we cut, is even worse!

 

[GrinningManiac]

[HEADING=1]GOOD, GODDAMN F*CK[/HEADING]

That was DULL

Good job guys, though you didn't have much to work with

You don't have to censor yourself on the Escapist.

And I used to love the cartoon and the toys. That intro made me die a little inside.

I like to. F*ck is such an unpleasant word, but can be manipulated for comedic effect. Still don't like saying it

 

[Impluse_101]

Quite possibly the worst unskippable seen that these guys had to put up with, and quite possibly even WORSE then Metal Gear.

You two are the strongest people I will ever know...save everyone else I do know.

 

[JayJayinMay]

This is why Cutscenes have a skip button.

 

[Gigaguy64]

.....sniff.....

What have they(the game)done to my Zoids........what?.....

Sniff.....Sniff

 

[Mydnyght]

Wow. That droning voice - it's like Michelle Ruff had a kid and the father was a Speak & Spell.

Why, thank you, Formica. Now I'm going to have nightmares involving one of my favorite English-dub voice actresses and a Speak & Spell.

That said, yeah, there was probably no better way to describe Ms. Van Clyft's voice than how you put it.

 

[Wolcik]

If there was no Profesor X joke I'd be disapointed

 

[Danglybits]

Oh holy god! Pacing people, PACING!! The beginning of the game is supposed to get my blood up and make me wanna be a part of this world; not go grab a work by one of the Bronte sisters for some excitement. I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't keep these fictional countries straight.

"She's obviously a spy!"
"She's a Shepard!
"She's a Shepard's pie!"

Oh boy.. That just sounded so right.. Now I want pie..

"METAL GEAR!"

"Thanks very much to our opening act. Next up in our Monotone Speaker Series, Ben Stein reads Droning Folk Songs of Russia!"

 

[Anticitizen_Two]

That game looks awful. Just awful.

 

[Adventurer2626]

Finally! A game that law students can enjoy too! Thank god I won't be joining them...(No offense to actual law students)

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

i thought this episode was so-so. (because i'm in a rush, i won't be able to explain it in many details.)

not much jokes or funnyness hah!

 

[Venatio]

Holy shit, this has to be the worse game opening in history (and I have seen some bad ones, some very bad ones). I mean, it made absolutely no mention towards gameplay or even anything specific about the game - where the heck were the zoids? Thats what we came for, not his boring hack.

But thats anime for you, too much fanfare not enough substance.

UGH the game looks hideous. It's like Front Mission, which was actually awesome (but old as dirt), only more confusing and with KITTY MECHA. Dear god...

The end of that video was someone saying "what the hell just happened"

I couldn't agree more.

I asked the same thing as the guy in the video when I watched that.

"What the hell just happened?"

That and wow that really sets me back, they used an Alarm sound half way through in that video that was a sound affect to a sega CD game back in the day... Wow....

Actually that video made perfect sense to me, it's a turn based strategy game. What looks like a poor attempt at one but turn based strategy non the less.

I don't mind TBS.. Infact I love it.. I would probably not play that one though >.>

 

[RUINER ACTUAL]

So where were the Zoids?

LIGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what I was thinking. How in the hell can something based off of Zoids be so damn boring?

I've heard the actual game is pretty terrible too. Turn based stradegy or something. It's too bad because Zoids are awesome. Need to have a western company make a Zoids game. Then it would be a Mech action game, not a Japanese still-image text-based turn based stradegy puke fest.

 

[Destroy Gundam]

"Did you just put a book in the 360?"

I gotta admit, I expected more out of an opening for a game based on a anime that involved giant robots beating on each other. It's like if an opening for a Gundam game was done in the style of a silent movie...good job with the jokes, but this opening was dull.

 

[Fenwolf2003]

Very boring, both the video and the 'funny' commentators.

 

[The Random One]

Did you guys do this one as a challenge? Man, that was so boring. Are you sure it's for the 360 and not for the N64? Maybe you got confused with the numbers? The N64 had an A button as well.

Your work was excellent, as usualy. I liked how you had to provide the courtroom mumbling because the game didn't. Although you didn't mention anything about the brilliant line 'Whatever, spy!'... son, I am disappoint.

 

[Formica Archonis]

Wow. That droning voice - it's like Michelle Ruff had a kid and the father was a Speak & Spell.

Why, thank you, Formica. Now I'm going to have nightmares involving one of my favorite English-dub voice actresses and a Speak & Spell.

Well, I wasn't thinking about it like THAT. But now I am. Damn it, we managed to skeeve each other out!

That said, yeah, there was probably no better way to describe Ms. Van Clyft's voice than how you put it.

I'm surprised Graham and Paul even attempted this one. It's an onscreen infodump, followed by another infodump, followed by an infodump, then some pathetic token stab at making a real cutscene, then infodump, infodump, infodump.
