Pants rip and skirts fall down wherever he goes. Plus, Torchwood is awesome.
Yeah, NMH is my favorite ZP review, hands down. I watch it at least once a month because it's so entertaining.

You posted 3 minutes after a 5 minute video was posted. I'm pretty sure anyone who posts before they could have possibly watched the video is automatically placed on probation or banned.Jonesy911 said:
Oh hey look a band wagon!
No more heroes 2. Where is?
Moving on nicely, I was under the impression this game had some kind of incredible environmental destruction, as well as some other fancy tech. I'm curious how that works. I also wonder, how is it best to level weapons? There's always going to be a problem or a hole you haven't filled in. Isn't it just better to say your guy has had weapons training at the beginning, is therefore proficient in all weapons, but gets used to weapons or types of weapons as he uses them. e.g. the more you use a desert eagle, the better you can control recoil and the faster you can aim it.

Let me sum up what he hated about the game:
1.The VA for Mike sounds like a D-bag
2.The game has no balance
3.The dialog system is flawed
Wow, that lines up with every other reviewer out there...
P.S. I was hoping this would be good but I guess my hope was poorly placed, no wonder the quality of your other work suffers when you are simultaneously developing the post-apocalyptic goodness of Fallout: New Vegas!

This is interesting, largely because you do have so many options to be "evil". I mostly play the "good" path, as being evil isn't my cup of tea. Though I wonder how this game deals with scenarios where doing an evil deed, can in fact have a quite positive outcome. Where you might kidnap the little girls kitten, only to later discovery that it was in fact a bomb cleverly disguised as a kitten because some other evil-doer intended to send a warning to her dad. Unlikely scenario yes, but the concept is very real.
Because, Kevin Conroy plays Batman as an asshole. Did you watch Batman Beyond? He's a complete dick!Sinclose said:
Umm well I played it at a friends. The dialogue system is amazzing! I mean I've never seen anything like it. But the shooting, hiding mechanics are soo flawed! I read online thier is a build you can put points into that don't make it too obvious, but if you deviate from that it goes downhill.Byr0m said:
Me personally found the game to be wayyy to glitchy. I have too many funny stories lool. But if you're into story and a dialogue driven games, you could put up with the game just for th butscenes.
I'm on RDR atm, online play is keeping me hooked + new DLC soon =) I'm holding out buying any new games untill Assasin's creed & DC universe (hopefully its not subscription based!)
You like games with a good story (ok, it is complicated, but it isn't that hard to understand as YZ says), good Role-Playing mechanics (dialog and perks system), and can forgive not very fresh graphic? Go for it. Just don't be scared by a pistol accuracy at first.Byr0m said:
In fact, I encourage putting some points in it. Chain Shot is probably the most powerful skill in the game right next to Shadow Operative (that invisibility Yahtzee was talking about), and awareness.
I found it an odd coincidence that me and Yahtzee had the same playing style (specialising in stealth and melee attacks). But he's right about that boss fight... The boss fights are simply shooting and that kind of annoyed me
I wasn't expecting Yahtzee to be one of the few critics not to ***** and moan about the skill-based shooting.
Well done, Yahtzee. You've amazed me once more.
P.S. Dog-in-a-hat.

That's because he's secretly a Deus Ex cultist.dancinginfernal said:
Well, not so secretly now, I guess.
A spy RPG you say? Sounds intriguing! Whats that you say? The game sucks? Oh well...more wasted potential...
