Zero Punctuation: Assassin's Creed 2

[kementari]

Get well soon, Yahtzee! Your voice is much more cutting when it's not pitched so low. You sound like a different person altogether... a much nicer, much less cynical person.

Get well soon for the love of God~

 

[Mantonio]

What was wrong with the gun? I think that fact that Leonardo Da Vinci was handing you gadgets seemed to explain it away rather well. He's the Q to your Bond as it were. Besides, it's hardly like you're handed the Plasma Rifle from Doom now is it?

 

[thepsychogamer]

Fist fight with a fat guy would sound cooler if you stated the social status of the guy your fighting

 

[SoonerMatt]

Here's hoping your cold blows over quick.

Good review; I've wanted this game for a while now and this just reinforced that fact.

 

[Vicioussama]

I loved it but what the hell was with the voice?

 

[Jaedon]

I just can't believe he didn't pounce on the bit where it forces you to get every codex page. I liked the game till that part then after I gathered one or two I thought 'No, fuck this, I've better things to do than arbitrarily extend your game Ubisoft.'

 

[markus0369]

i like the screechy winny english-y yahtzee better.
i have no idea who the new guy is.

 

[abgaxel]

Oi... Yes, this is Yahtzee's sickly voice. Such as is what happens when you have to put out a video every week without fail. As someone pointed out, you can compare it to his Heavenly Sword video, where he writes at the end that it was co-authored by a bottle of cough syrup. It's not a permanent format change unless he's got the plague, and it's not new audio equipment unless said equipment is shoved squarely up his nose. We'll have nasally Yahtzee back when the power of his hat purges the germs from its symbiotic host.

Anyham, in an effort to sound constructive: Good review, as per usual.

 

[DTWolfwood]

Is it just me or does he sound some what sick? seems a bit dull this episode.

 

[DeAvatar]

Clever girl...I would like to see those minstrels try to get me, as they get shot with my boom stick. Nice review, get better Yahtzee!

 

[geldonyetich]

Sounded like we had a substitute Yahtzee for this review, but probably was (as many have surmised) a cold.

So, Assassin's Creed 2 sounds like it'd been improved from Assassin's Creed all around, but they went over the dividing line of "taking good advice" and severely into "listening to tossers" territory when the made the game waaay to easy. On top of this, the plot was apparently completely disconnected from the first game. Gotcha.

 

[minotaur199]

Thanks Yahtzee for reminding me why am I proud to be Croatian: Serious Sam! Best shooter around!

 

[NeverMemory]

Yahtzee (assuming that is Yahtzee) sounded drastically different; his voices sound like he had his nose pinched the entire time, and the pacing also feels a bit different- in fact, I'm ready to hand down the sentence that this was one episode of Zero Punctuation not done by Yahtzee.

 

[Segadroid]

I don't like this new sounding voice

Yeah, what's with the new voice?

It certainly sounded different, almost like he smoked too much. The tone is a bit annoying for my taste, he now sounds like a bored shop assistant in a PC shop. "Hello, can I help you?"-badge included.

 

[Usurpurus]

It was almost definitely someone else as he dropped a T which I haven't heard him do...or at least I think.
Im so annoyed I have to wait til next year for the PC version -.-

 

[civver]

Mostly agreed with the assessment. Why did they keep annoying NPCs? The gadgets were neat, but ultimately a gimmick. Combat seems too easy, with each enemy taking turns to hit you. The final fight was even more disappointing than the one in Borderlands. And now that you mention it, closer inspection reveals the in-game "economy" to be nothing more than a glorified power restriction. But a few comments just fell short of the mark. Powerful gun? Yeah, powerful for taking out one enemy. Surprised you didn't comment on hiring groups to aid you.

 

[Quillpaw]

The voice threw me for a loop too. The weirdest thing is that he sounds almost exactly like he did in his very first videos, like the Heavenly Sword demo and Psychonauts reviews. That aside, this review was a bit lacking in humor, falling back on the old tits-jokes standby and not much else.

 

[lolcatize]

what happened to your voice man it sounded diffrent

 

[Kariodude]

It's obviously not Yahtzee. It's not just that he sounds different, he even pronounces words differently. Let's hope this is a one time thing.

 

[VMerken]

Wow, so what happened there? Yahtzee turned 13 and his voice broke and slowed down? Got a cold and gravity decelerated time in Australia? Sure hope you get better man, because this one fails in projecting your vitriol onto us.

Well uh, onto me, actually. Take care, man.
