Zero Punctuation: A Shadow's Tale
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
Speaking of samey boring etc. etc. Until someone points me to where i can find why yahtzee is throwing such a hissy over America, if he's even explained it at all, I'm just going to assume he's throwing tantrums because his girlfriend left him for a Californian beach walker.
Fuck, there are so much more clever jokes about America, stop reaching into the garbage bin for the easy shit.

The Wii is not the graphics king. Flash of 360 with the crown. Please..... Standard console centric world view. There is another format that has better graphics. But whatever, the pic of the 360 was probably more recognizable. Typical mis-representation.
Because it would be less of a review and more of Yahtzee going "Wii sucks, yo" for 4 minutes like he always does, even if the game in question isn't even on the Wii. Here's a fun drinking game, take a shot every time Yahtzee insults Nintendo during a non Nintendo game review. Congrats, you have alcohol poisoning. We get it Yahtzee, Nintendo burned down your house and raped your dog, but much like your opinions on countries that aren't Australia, we don't care.Srdjan Tanaskovic said:
You are aware that it's also called "Lost in Shadow" in Canada, too, right? I mean, Canada and the US are pretty much the same place in terms of game markets. And about the Philosopher's Stone title change, well, let's just say nobody's ever gone broke underestimating a child's intelligence.dex-dex said:
Yahtzee does seem to be picking on America a lot, though. What's he so mad about?
Well actually the Philosophers Stone was the element for immortality that all Alchemists were searching for.dex-dex said:
It is when obeying the most common pronunciation rules of English. It's the same reason that every Japanese word imported into English is pronounced differently to the original pronunciation. If one wants to get picky, 'ICO' is arguably a misleading transliteration of Japanese to English characters. 'IKO' would have been more suitable, and is the usual way, to represent the intended pronunciation. Anyway, countless words, names and places in Japanese games and about Japanese games, are pronounced badly every day. Like 'Ryu' being a two syllable name.More Fun To Compute said:
The Wii is a console so compare it to consoles. Of course it's 'console centric', but that's not a bad thing in this case. I'm sure there's a super computer or experimental mega computational beast machine out there that destroys the best ATI or Geforce card available today, however, it would be a comparison entirely out of context.ph0b0s123 said:
It's only ever pronounced in the game as ee-ko. You can generally pronounce some written words in a number of ways but you get pronunciation from hearing them.UberNoodle said:
Usually there's a bit of ambiguity as to whether Yahtzee genuinely hates the game or if he's just exaggerating the case for comedic effect. In this case, it's pretty clear the game is awful in all its parts.
"Don't crowd in all at once, guys." Well, Wii 2D platformers have instead crowded in over a few years. Even the 3D ones fall into 2D. It's not like the other consoles have their fair share of these.
Also, you mentioned King Graham... a character seen in a certain Minecraft painting, no less.

And for the third or fourth video in a row now, Yahtzee has taken a gratuitous and unfunny stab at America for no reason. I'm all for a good America joke now and then, but he's just starting to repeat himself now, it's not even funny.
America isn't the only country to change titles of things. And if he doesn't wanna play any of these games coming out right now, why doesn't he just pull an SH2 or Painkiller or Shadow of the Colossus.
Oh well, instead of something interesting, I guess we can just look forward to the Dead Space 2 review.
Edit: Sorry, didn't realize I'd basically already said this
when I tried to post earlier my net died when I clicked post, so I didn't know I'd already said basically this same thing lol

I hope your not insinuating that ICO is bad, because I loved it.
Mind you I did play the PAL version with harder combat, harder puzzles, better AI, better lighting, Easter eggs and secret weapons (also apparently the US version does not have Yordas and Queens dialog translated, but I can't confirm)
