Zero Punctuation: Assassin's Creed 2

[PeterDawson]

Blimey, Yahtzee has jumped the shark. I used to watch all of his movie two or three times and laugh throughout, but this one wasn't even chuckle-worthy. I think Wolfenstein was the last proper "funny" review, it was downhill from there.

Silly person, he jumped the shark back when he stopped using copyrighted music. He even pointed it out himself.

I will agree that it wasn't one of his more hilarious reviews but he still had a few loud chuckle moments for me. Of course, I'm the idiot who kept reading Ctrl-Alt-Del past the freaking miscarriage plotline so you can take my opinion with a grain of salt. I'm also still watching CSI, a show starring Lawrence Fishbourne and a bunch of people who used to be interesting, so yeah.

 

[Zing]

Lawl good review.

Clever girl... Jurassic Park reference ftw.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

Slight voice change, but hey. the snark is still there so i'm not complaining.

 

[technetium09]

his voice in this one reminded me of his voice in the first zero punctuations.

 

[coldfrog]

Since the most important thing is clearly his voice, my vote goes to either imitating those Italian tossers or a voice acting practice session. And if it is the former, you'd think he would have learned his lesson after the RE5 accent debacle.

Nevertheless, always a pleasure.

 

[Matu Flp Krwfe]

Perhaps Yahtzee has one of those weird summer colds that float around the beautiful Australian beaches while those of us in the northern hemisphere are freezing our balls off.

I'd believe that.

 

[technetium09]

i'm right there with you. i want to play it now! (i wonder if it will be in stereoscopic 3D?)

 

[BlackWidower]

I just noticed they changed the watermark, before it was a small URL at the top of the video, now it's a big thing in the bottom left corner.

 

[StBishop]

Yeah, he sounds a bit different, but I don't care much because it was a very funny and helpful review. Also, it's a funny coincidence that two weeks ago I expected the next review to be not Modern Warfare 2 and hopefully Assassin's Creed 2.

How is that a conincidence?

On topic of voice... maybe he's been here too long and is losing his accent? Go visit your mum Yahztee, I'm sure she'd love to see you for Chistmas. And you get to avoid the heat.

 

[crotalidian]

if this is a new direction for the voice then that would be his second see the webcomics-Indiana jones change that came with his new intro music jury is out on if its better but if it is permanent we'll get used to it and hes not going to change back to keep the unwashed fucktards (us) happy.

I loved AC1 for the climbing etc. but wouldnt buy it because i didnt enjoy the rest of teh game enough. this may be changing my mind on AC2

 

[Ophiuchus]

Glad to see it's not just my imagination and that other people noticed the new microphone or whatever it is that's going on with his voice. I like it. Sometimes in the past I've found the speech a bit hard to follow when it starts approaching 50 words a second, but it's much clearer now.

 

[Captain Pancake]

roll in the hay? Somebody been watching young frankenstein?

also,

"WE'VE GOT ANOTHER JOGGER! TAKE HIM DOWN!"

aptly sums up how overzealous the guards were in the original.

 

[Nemu]

I like the new mic (if that's wot it is) makes Yahtzee sound a bit clearer.
I did NOT, however, like the "watermark" Escapist logo in the lower-left.

I was staring at that bit of ugliness more than watching the animation. >=|

Great review, otherwise.

 

[ChillinMargrave]

Lovely review, got what I wanted, waiting around for the buggery PC version to show so I can have some ninja-fun, and shit.

Other then that, the 'new' voice was interesting, but suprising.

 

[Hallow'sEve]

I don't like this new sounding voice

It doesn't even sound like Yahtzee, is it really him?

 

[nixomose]

Me and my zero punctuation tshirt like the settings on the audio-speed-pitch-adjuster from last week more than this week.

 

[phanatic314]

Lol, after I watched it a second time and got over his voice sounding a wee bit different, I realized this is a really funny review. The first time through I was too confused to think about anything else.

 

[Solivagus]

Hey, did anyone else notice that Yahtzee's voice was different? (And then some speculation as to why.)

Good review. Loved the Jurassic Park joke. I actually like the money system, but I suppose it caters to the boring folk.

 

[Idlemessiah]

Guess it sucks to be ill with a gig like his. I mean talking for a living while you have a cold can't be anywhere near as fun.

OT: Despite the flaws I will still be getting this game when I have the money.

 

[Dan Shive]

I must say, I don't care much for the "Escapist bug" in the corner. Given the compression, only the "E" is intelligible anyway, and that's all it should be. Slap that "E" in the right corner as the video equivalent of a water mark and call it a day. I say the right side due to the selfish fact that I'm used to such placement on television programs around here and having it on the left side makes it stand out more than it should.

As for the review, it does make me want to try the game more. Not that much more; if I'm going to play a game where I goof off in a city, Saints Row 2 still exists and is kind enough to incorporate cheat codes as a natural feature of the game.
