given that his review of the first game was less then favorable, do you think Yahtzee would even bother to review mass effect 2 ?
and if so, will he actually like it this time around ?

after all, the main two complaints Yahtzee had about the first game were too much dialog and that the action felt like the game resents him from ignoring the dialog (the mako was also mentioned quite clearly as handling "like a fat man on a unicycle")
which on a whole, gives the impression that he didn't like the game very much

the sequel goes a long way towards fixing the action part, and the dialog, while still very present, is (at least, IMHO) better written and voiced, which makes the game a considerable improvement over the first
and given the rather large impact the game seems to have on the video game community as a whole, what do you think the odds are of Yahtzee deciding to review it, despite not liking the first one ?

if nothing else, it would give him a break from his "like god of war, but..." series

Yahtzee will find a way to trash it some how...besides none of his reviews are to be taken seriously anyway

He'll probably review it because of popular opinion... but he'll say its crap. I'd be suprised and alarmed if he gave it a good review.

(oh cmon, its Yahtzee for crying out loud)

Nyeso.

That's a combination of Yes and No.

Alternate translations are "Who cares?" and "Wait and see."

I honestly don't care what he reviews. I don't use what reviewers say to tell me what to buy and what not to buy, I just watch them for entertainment. He could review Kid Chameleon for all I care.


But I guess it's possible for him to review it, if that's what you're asking.

Bleh; I've not bought either game yet - they look good but I can't be bothered at the moment. Maybe he will, maybe he won't - he probably will because of its popularity but I don't know what his opinion will be.

I would love to see him review it, and he may give it a good rating. The only thing he might have a problem with are the chest-high walls.

What? Why? Yahtzee has a respectable critical opinion and makes legitimate arguments about the pros and cons of each game he reviews. Why would you cast aside his reviews? Because he's funny?

Probably. He did play it (I know, because one of his Twitter things said so), so it's a possibility.

Probably - I'd not be surprised if he said it wasn't totally awful.

Because its totally f*cking amazing.

Yes. Yes it does.

If he doesn't review Mass Effect 2, all the Mass Effect 2 fanboys will make threads complaining about it.

Do you want that to happen!? A full day with threads only about Mass Effect 2 and Zero Punctuation!?

Meh, He probably will. It is a big release. But I don't think it will be soon, what with all the releases this month has brought.

Yes. Because it would likely result in those people getting suspended/banned.

Doesn't really matter, I don't think anyone actually watches his reviews for buying advice due to the ridiculously low truthyness of his opinions. We watch for entertainment and since he reviewed the first already, the review will boil down to story analysis and talking aboot what has changed between games.

Well, I only really hope that there is going to be a review about Heavy Rain. That whole game is made out of quick-time-events, so Yahtzee will have his fun :D
Despite that I don't care what he reviews, even (or especially?) the reviews of boring games are very good.
