Zero Punctuation: Assassin's Creed 2

[SonicSaturn]

he quoted Spaced! woohoo! well.... i thought he did anyway with the hunting in packs and "clever girls" thing.... probably just me, but to me thats a take on spaced!
i thought he might have a cold or something with the different voice, then i remembered he was in Australia soooo...

 

[jayman52]

If you watch his Washington, D.C. video he sounds exactly like he does in the old videos. Therefore, I conclude that yahtzee just has a simple cold, but still had to do his job.

 

[mr Awsome]

I don't like this new sounding voice

yeah the voice does sound wierd... but i like the game

 

[tman_au]

He probably has that flu going around. It's one that stuffs up your voice, box but seems to leave your lungs alone. When I had it last year my voice sounded like a colony of frogs took up residence for a couple of weeks.

The new voice made it less entertaining somehow which was dissapointing. Its like Yathzee took a break, sent the Escapist the animations and let the editor in chief do the voice. What is this? Yahtzhee just hit puberity or something?

 

[Inarticulate_Underachiever]

His voice sounded a little robotic, or maybe he's changing his comic delivery style from "enraged-on-the-soapbox" to smug and sneering.

Nice video. Yahtzee is at the top of his form as he has been for a few reviews in a row. Good work. AC2 is a pretty sweet game and is a big improvement from the original.

The best, and funniest way, to get rid of the annoying musicians is to press the attack button and pull out your sword (don't try to quote that and mention the innuendo in there, I'm being serious) and stand there for a second with sword in hand. They will proceed to drop their instruments and run away screaming phrases like "But I wrote that for you!". That is always good for a laugh. Too bad those annoying bastards just keep coming back!

Does anyone read before they post? Almost everyone made a comment about how his voice is different. Yes it was apparently a different voice he prolly has a cold, big f---ing deal! Overall I think it was a good review, but not his funniest.

Well I can't really add anything new or original to what's been said already so I'll just jump on the band wagon and point out the difference in Yahtzees' voice.

"like some kind of European Scrooge McDuck"

Scrooge was European to begin with, listen to his accent and look at his name

 

[Lord_Ascendant]

Audio quality was a bit bleh in this one.

 

[LazyAza]

I think he got a new mic, weird that he sounds so different though, like the pitch of his voice changed entirely.
I'm forced to wait for the pc version of Asscreed 2 since I don't have a 360 anymore and the ps3 version is utterly fucked like the originals was (lacking visuals and tonnes of lag because ubisofts programmers still suck at ps3 coding).

It was a quick review, I'm guessing because the game took so long he didn't have as much time to make the review? I think it's a very good game, but I agree with some of the minor issues Yahtzee picks out. The flying machine was definitely over-hyped. I sucked with it to start, and once I got the hang of it that part of the mission was over.
The one thing I wish he would have talked about more is the tombs and glyphs. He didn't talk about the glyphs, and referred to the tombs as cereal box tokens, which I suppose is some form of an accurate name for those.
Otherwise good review.

Loved the Jurassic Park velociraptor reference ("clever girl") about the minstrels hunting in packs.

 

[maninahat]

There is a British tendency to see the UK as a seperate entity from Europe (which is referred to as "The continent").

 

[DarkPanda XIII]

sounds like new equipment to me (why his voice sounds different). That or his nose is stuffed up.

Still, loved it, want to try it, even once to see how long I can tolerate the minstrels.

...which might mean ten seconds

that voice was not the result of a new mic... his inflections weren't nearly as pronounced as normal.. either Yahtzee has a cold and decided to go ahead and do this weeks review anyway (which would make sense why it's really toned down) or someone else filled in for him this week... since there is no credit or mention of a substitute, I'm going with the cold theory.

While watching it I was actually expecting to hear the sounds of someone dying half way through and then the real yahtzee taking over (it is about an assassin game afterall!).

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

Someone get Yahtzee some Soothers, STAT.

 

[cymrich]

scrooge mcduck is meant to be scottish... hence the name, accent, attitude... everything... so yeah... he already was european... lol
