Zero Punctuation: Assassin's Creed 2

[Hyperactiveman]

Damnit Ass Creed 1's major and pretty much only flaw was the constant repetition of doing 1 sort of assassin related thing x 100... If Ass Creed 2 is just like that then I'm not going to bother... I mean I had already spent enough time experimenting the the extremely limited options of combat and wasn't even that far into the game.

"OMG what happened to ur voice? new mic/cold?" Chill the hell out, the guy has friends you know. I'm guessing that he wrote it and had a friend say it.

 

[cheese_wizington]

Yahtzee, please go back to the old microphone - you sound like you have a frog in your throat, or like you're using a bad quality microphone.

(and if you do have a frog in your throat I'm sorry for being an ass and hope you get better soon)

I'm glad to hear that ACII is at least tolerable... I haven't finished ACI but I'm hopefully getting the second for Christmas.

It's more than tolerable. It's incredible.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Was it just my imagination or did Yahtzee sound different in this episode?

 

[JoeKickAzz]

I don't like this new sounding voice

Yeah, what's with the new voice?

it sounds like he was really tired when he did this video, not liking it, sounds dull

OT: Great review, laughed my ass off, and made ALOT of good points

 

[FolkLikePanda]

His voice! WHERES IT GONE! GAH! PANDAS!

I think the sound quality is better on the voice which is probably why it sounds different.

Yeah, but not that different. I kept expecting some gag to reveal it was actually someone else.

he's probably got a cold.

A very good review, but the massive watermark for the Escapist is a bit obnoxious.

 

[IamaPest]

yea what's up with the voice? did yatzhee hit puberty again or something? lol
stil a great review im still getting the game though.

btw im new to escpaist.....friend me =)

 

[Dash-X]

It was a perfectly fair review.

Personally, I loved the game. I just wished there was more for me to blow money on... For example: Art. After I got 30 pieces, I was a bit sad that I couldn't buy any more. I would have liked to see lesser known Renaissance pieces/artists.

Spoiler

I also really liked the letter from Raphael. It made me laugh so hard. "Dear dad, screw the tuition you've been paying. I'm gonna be an artist! Deuces!"

I love how everyone's flailing about the new voice. We must be memorized by its melodic qualities to the point that we begin withdrawal immediately upon its loss.

I don't care if it's a new voice or not, I just want to know why. -_o I spent the entire review wondering if it was actually Yahtzee or if he let Yug or some other buddy of his do a guest review.

 

[PS2MAN]

On a side note, I'm amazed at how many people are still wondering about this.

And I just checked. This is pretty much tone-for-tone how he sounded in his review of The Darkness. Either that, or my ears are faulty, or my speakers (and headphones) are faulty.

They are faulty if you think just because someone talks at the same speed they sound exactly the same. Using your "Logic" everyone who talks slow sounds like Microsoft Sam because pitch is not a factor.

 

[Ph33nix]

yahtzee what's up with your voice do you have a chest cold?
anyway good vid.

 

[Mstrswrd]

Are you sick, Yahtzee? You sounded odd.

Assassin's Creed 2

This week, Zero Punctuation reviews Assassin's Creed 2.

Watch Video

I am ever so happy this has been done as this is my Game of the Year! and he was amusingly positive about it, three cheers. It is funny when he has to kind of reach for complaints.

Having seen the video I will now see what all the commoners [commenters?] have to say about game and review of said game.

 

[dfcrackhead]

Would have been a funny review if not for the constantly nagging thought "wtf is wrong with his voice? did I miss the announcement that there would be some new gimmick this week or a guest star doing it????"

 

[Kenshuku]

I don't like this new sounding voice

So I'm not alone...

Yahtzee sounds different this week. Maybe he has a new microphone?

 

[Chaos Theory]

what happend to his voice??

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Has Yahtzee been replaced by the voice actor of that alien in American Dad or something?

 

[YYZed]

just like everyone else the voice was wierd...but the review was still really good.
