Zero Punctuation: Assassin's Creed 2

[alinos]

What was up with his voice? Nice review though and I'm 3 for 3 in the predict which game will be on ZP next...

of course you are ive picked em all to its not like they werent the obvious ones for him to review i didnt see him reviewing lego rock band or band hero this week and not much else has come out

 

[BlackWidower]

agreed i think he nuked the fridge. I gave up on him long ago but a friend said "...but he's doing you new game..." i said "big fucking deal" then decided wtf. yahtzee,the simpsons, south park, and SNL please fucking quit you suck! thank you good night.

If you think they suck, don't watch and go away. I don't understand, no ones forcing you to watch so why do you think they should go away. Others like them, but you don't and everyone has to go out of their way to please you? Honestly.

Even after maxing out the casa, having money (for me) is nice; because of my OCD I feel the need to dye the Assassin's robes a different color every hour. I don't know...

I don't think that's OCD, I think that's just you being weird. Is it so you can figure out which one he looks best in because that makes more sense.

I say this because I have OCD and that makes me less likely to waste money on dying robes...unless it's free or there's some type of benefit to gameplay.

So apparently I haven't gone crazy and am NOT the only one to notice his voice. I think he may have a cold or something. I don't know though, he sounded sort of comfortable, I guess. I hope this isn't a regular thing. This "new" voice actually sort of bored me. For the first time watching a ZP video, I actually put my headset back ON and started talking to friends on skype DURING the video.

Well if that's the case he also had a cold when he reviewed The Darkness, Fable 1, Psychonauts, BioShock, Tomb Raider Anniversary, Manhunt, Peggle, Halo 3...etc.

...You do know you can have a blocked up nose for less than a week....right?

Also, I've never known common colds that last a month....Let alone a week.

 

[undeadfly]

Maybe he finally hit puberty and this is his grown up voice?

 

[nart_21086]

Yahtzee has laryngitis?

 

[RogueDarkJedi]

Because no one else has mentioned this yet: WHAT HAPN TO YAHTXZEE VOICE?

The review was okay, I'm surprised he didn't mention the amount of dialog in the game (and how it's not English [or if he did, I didn't hear it]).

But I'm not happy with the new watermark placement on the videos. Seriously, guys.

Nothing does quite top the hugging stab kill.

Exactly my point.

 

[TheHitcher]

Who the hell cares about his voice? It still sounds like him and it was still a great review.

Anyway,

I'm surprised he didn't mention the graphics, which personally I thought were worse than 'Ass I'
Oh, and the bloody collectables return, this time 100 feathers...

Hey, not everything made in Canada/by Canadians is bad!

Yeah, PoP:Sands of Time was developed by Ubisoft Montreal.

 

[Major_Stranger]

Just wondering something about what Yahtzee said about Canadian games: Prince of Persia was made by Ubisoft Montreal, which is CANADIAN YOU CHEAP BRITISH!

Here's a list of canadian games:
Baldurs Gate
Neverwinter Night
Prince Of persia series
Splinter's Cell series
Mass Effect
Dragon Age

well some of the BEST GAME EVER PRODUCED!

please give more respect to the Canadian Yahtzee

about that... Assassin's Creed did have fast travel. Maybe it was just the PC version though?

 

[the1ultimate]

Well, I'm still waiting for the one set in the future so I guess I can pass this one by as well.

Especially since I can't imagine why your character wouldn't have learned anything about assassination from Assassin's Creed 1, which kind of breaks the main plot point for me.

 

[Denarius]

Nothing does quite top the hugging stab kill.

No, we now have the "You are attempting to hold me hostage in front of your boss while trying to hold both my arms, problem is you have just pointed my wrist-stabbing-knife-of-no-finger-loss in both of your faces. I will now give you the chance to let go...no...shink....thud, thud."

That is what we have better then the hug stab.

Anyways on to the review, yes their is the money aspect that was compltely unnecessary but hey thats the optional part of the game, the only thing you REALLY need to collect are the codex pages and litteraly you get those in between missions pretty much by killing a few guards and taking them. honestly have to wonder how Ezio's father never found them.

While I'll admit the combat in game is frustratingly boring in its pre-school easyness, it does have its moments of actual fun gameplay because most of the time I never actually fought anyone, all I really did unless I had no choice was lead them around and slowly pick them off one by one with assassinations. Doing that makes it fun. Well.... stealing the axe weilding soldiers weapon and then raming it back into his skull is highly satisfying, annoying fucks.

final boss battle, You get to beat the shit out of the pope in fisty cuffs, what more needs to be said after that beyond the fact that it was Ubisofts way of getting around their whole 3 minute death sequence monologue without making us sit around and watch as the guy bleeds to death.

ending is still fucked up though, no doubt about that.

I have never taken the time to comment on these videos. I have seen them all, and generally enjoy the satire and good "clean" fun at the game creator's expense. This video's reference to Jurassic Park bit made me laugh me hard, just wanted to say thanks.

Boooo watermark... now I can't take screenshots without having some weird unreadable ghost thing in the background.

"A fish woman" = best line imo
