Yahtzee's Prototype vs. InFamous Challenge

[Captain Bobbossa]

Is there really nothing else happening in the world of gaming that this is still up here on the front page?

 

[Megatheist]

oh god, yahtzee, i'm so glad you did this right now

on a note, is it just me who thought that prototypes devs made something more disturbing, and infamous devs made something more attractive?

I think the fact that they went the attractive route is by far more disturbing than just going for disturbing.

 

[lacktheknack]

Am I being daft or is there a mix up here? I thought the character riding the unicorn was from prototype?

Maybe I'm not reading the article correctly...

You're correct, and you're not reading it right, the winner of being the better game goes to whoever depicts the OTHER game's character in a bra. inFAMOUS's studio drew Alex Mercer from Prototype, which won, so they won. It's all correct.

And yes, this is just too epic for words...

sucker punch cheated.

I surprised they not only actually made the pictures but that they actually watched your review and took it seriously. 'Oh not that guy with a hat reviewed us and couldn't decided if we were better than that other game, lets pander to his desire to get a non existent prize.' Seriously I doubt Zero Punctuation actually helps or hinders anyone's games sales, other than a few people who were curious, like I bought Saints Row, because he said it was so much better than GTA, and it was but never mind. Zero Punctuation to me has always been a humorous little someone showing one mans opinions regarding the games he plays and it certainly gets this site more traffic, but I've never considered them to be serious review that would actually mean anything. He's like the AVGN or TGWTG, entertainers who enjoy ragging on something or other but who's opinions don't really affect the industry in which they review.

In the first 4 hours of his Painkiller review, sales of it on Steam TRIPLED. Or something, I saw Mr. Croshaw say it himself on a video on YouTube that has since been removed.

That, my friend, is pulling power. Nay, it is pulling powah

...This has to be against some sort of law.
But I'm still going to read it.

EDIT: Well.
I don't think I'll ever sleep soundly again.

You're not supposed to. It video game characters in women's undergarments. None of us will sleep soundly.

I'm fairly sure that Yahtzee has the second-most popular internet reviews, with a huge fan base and a whole lot of people who will buy any games that he approves of.

Someone will.
Or, worse yet, someone won't for entirely different reasons than the rest of us.

Because they printed out the pictures and posted them all over their room.

That is massively sick and wrong. and unfortunately very true.

 

[Sparrow]

This was only Round 1 folks.

Round 2, break out the whips!

 

[Lithran]

Wow. Okay, this I sure didn't expect. First picure was...disturbing as hell. Second one wasn't as bad.

He shoulda kept calling a tie and see what he could get them to do. That would have been great.

 

[4ed]

Aaaah... now all is clear. Thankyou!

 

[Snipingkid]

Anyone notice that he Said inFamous wins but the unicorn Picture was Alex Mercer. How could yahtzee screw it up lol. Yeah still pretty awesome they sent those pics lol.

Okay I Know for a fact prototype won because Mercer (the one on the unicorn) was from prototype and Cole was from Infamous.

This angered me surprisingly much.

"Namely, which of the two studios could produce the best image of the rival game's main character wearing women's lingerie."
Maybe if people read carefully, they would pick out the word rival.

However, I am surprised that the two companies responded.

 

[CriticalQuit]

I'm rather glad sucker punch won, mostly because I enjoyed the Sly Cooper series for the Playstation 2. Well, actually just the 3rd one. The others had a rather dickish difficulty jump.

 

[Foxbat Flyer]

lol, thats bloody excellent! you my mate, are a legend! I dont know how you did it, but you did!

 

[Dom Uk]

I couldn't believe they both sent in pictures, it's nice to see that they take things lightly and have a sense of humour rather than being overly sensitive about the reviews.

 

[Nemorov]

This is a testament to how powerful Yahtzee has become. This is all too beautiful. XD

 

[Manji187]

whahaha the irony... maybe Radical and Sucker Punch need to fuse into Radical Punch as it appears they are on the same wave-length on more than one occasion.

 

[deleted60525]

DELETED

 

[The_Night_Walker]

thats was so funny - cant believe they actually sent in the pictures

 

[Wanderer1911]

oh my god, that was f-ing amazing
