Zero Punctuation: Age of Conan
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
I think he's tired of FpS.warfjm said:Ok, I'm not suprised he did Age of Conan but I'm still suprised he hasn't done Battlefield Bad Company.
A call out for Bad Company anyone?
P.S. - Yes, I know he doesn't do requests. Whats the next big title game to review? :-/
I would prefer he didn't do Battlfield: Bad Company because it's a multi-player centric game (I know there's a single player campaign, but you know I'm right). We've all heard about how much he cares for multi-player ie: Halo3, Brawl, etc.warfjm said:Ok, I'm not suprised he did Age of Conan but I'm still suprised he hasn't done Battlefield Bad Company.

I enjoyed this review. It was one in a few that did not completely involve dicks and jokes revolving around them smeared in my face for 80% of the review, itself. Though the oddly comforting sense that Yahtzee played a nude stick-woman with tits in a game leaves me feeling a little awkward. This is not a complaint.
I stopped caring about the music.
The only flaws I saw in this sort of review were the ones where I craved for more depth. However I completely understand that a review that has such flaws has little to do with the reviewer in question and much to do with the game. What more was I expecting Ben to pull from a hat with another cheap mmorpg?

STOP! BULLLLLSHIIIIIIT.
Everquest and Lineage 2 set up MMORPG standards WAY better WoW was even released. In fact, educated MMORPG players are well aware of the fact that WoW is basically an EQ/Lineage 2 KNOCKOFF with cartoony graphics that is cranked down to ridiculously low difficulty levels.
I myself, having played EQ , lineage 2 and WoW, am offended to hear Yahtzee say that all MMORPGs are trying to be WoW, as WoW is essentially a knockoff that is riding Warcraft1/2/3 popularity and success and built a fanbase by blatantly copying already successful MMORPGs.
For shame yahtzee...
Anyway other than that, good video, I enjoyed it.

Agreed, much as I loved my time on CoV, there's some horrible problems. */Dark beats everything. MM's can run through on Invincible. Stalkers are pants until 8 then Gods. Brutes collapse without a good travel power.Zeithri said:

not that anyone will read this (unlessu have nothin to do but shift through the forums...) this is, as usual a great episode, and it makes a change to not hear about how amazing this game was, i heard from a 'reliable source' that this game was average and (here it comes) nowhere near as good as WoW (sorry to bring that game up, i no how much everyone hates it...)
and ingore all the comments about the start end sequence, there is nothin wrong with it and its quite funky, well made too, good work

That intro music sounds like it should be on an MTV Sports program. The ones where the presenter's some spiky haired nobody in enormous sunglasses commentating on some extreme sport like BMX or Snowboarding.
Except that his commentary consists of yelling Gnarrrrghllleeee every 30 seconds and screaming "Oh My Gaad!" every time a competitor pulls a bunny hop. Whilst at the same time pulling out random factoids even though it's patently obvious to all concerned that he hasn't got a clue...
The review is funny as usual, but why such a cliched piece of music at the start?

Very accurate and funny review. I cancelled my sub after about a month, and though I like to think I'll go back if it gets better, the rational part of me knows that I was just feeding my MMO addiction until WAR. I hope that doesn't turn into filler as well.
Absolutely loved the "Midsomer Murders" reference as well.

...Does anyone else find it slightly amusing or at least ironic that the website has a large splash advertisement for the game in the background whilst Mr. Croshaw has rated it no more than meh as far as mmorpg's go?
Anyway, I liked this one, the intro is growing on me, the outro not so much i don't really know why, but i'll let it go.
