Zero Punctuation: Awards for 2008

[Knight Templar]

First = Ban

Seeing the first few posts get a ban never get old for me, just like watching ZP reviews, thats right it was an award, still said review though.

 

[alf1985]

They should pay this dude alot more than they do. And I don't even know how much they pay. He is just that damn funny.

 

[antipunt]

HOORAY YATZHEE. I heard 'awards of 2008' and was not expecting it to be 'bashing' games instead of praising them...I should've known better

it's much more entertaining this way =D

Cut out these fucking award shows and clip shows. I came here to see Yahtzee review a video game and thats what i want to bloody see.

Because Yahtzee owes you anything? You pay copious amounts of money to see him every week?

Fanboys grr

wait how does my comment make me a fanboy?

Please excuse me for this noobish question (I'm a noob to these forums) but why did the first two posts get banned? I read the sticky but still could not find one thing wrong with both of the posts. Can someone please answer me so I do not make the same error. Thanks! (Please don't ban me for this!)

We ban for "first posting" here, even if you don't say "first post". Watch the video or read the article before posting a comment and you've got nothing to worry about.

Ahhh I see. Thanks, that cleared things up for me. How exactly do you know if the person watched the video or read the article?

Nice Review but I didnt see CoD 5 on the list of games to possibly review in the future. Didnt he actuly LIKE CoD 4?

I suppose there's some super-high-tech way to tell from their end, but it's fairly straightforward even without it; they'd commented 1 and 2 minutes after the link was posted, and the video is ~6 minutes long. Can't park a Caddy in a kiddy pool, and can't watch a movie and comment on it in less time that it takes to play out the movie.

Wouldn't Left 4 Dead be considered a horror game?

Unfortunately Left 4 Dead is lacking the main features to make it a horror game. Horror.

I would've given the 15YOLS (a.k.a. Disappointment of the Year) Award to Spore instead. And I wasn't one of those who was being hyped up through the years by various presentations and what-not. I was solely hyped up by the Creature Creator and that it was Maxis on the label.

I really should've heeded the warning that EA was also on the label too. But even by that standard, the game really did disappoint.

 

[Flap Jack452]

This man is my idol, his visual puns and comic delivery are perfect. I think what i just said is how cults are formed : ) (Yahtzee quote from the L4D review haha)

Yeah I never thought of that lol. Ok, I get it all now. Thanks guys!

Oh.. And Mirrors Edge isnt from EA, it´s from DICE.
EA is just the publishers.
Get your facts straight you poor little twat...

 

[dogs_playing_poker]

OH so that is why there isent a gears of war yet. I was wondering if he couldnt find something to ***** about with it. Hehehe I have been waiting for that one for so long. Also sorta curious if he us gunna do the newish banjoo kazooie game. Good ep. for what it was wish it was a review but hey everone need time for the holidays.

 

[Markness]

My one loaded about 2 minutes then gave up. My Internets working fine but I then tried to refresh it and it never got past the click to play screen. Any ideas what the problem is?

edit: nevermind apparently restarting my comp fixed the problem

 

[Dustiness]

On the topic of Mirror's Edge and in fact all EA games, long has it been since I bought a game without checking for EA logos. If I see one I just avoid the game like it had 'For ages three and up' written down the side, because you are pretty much always guaranteed dissatisfaction as everything is dumbed down for the simpler, emptier audience EA proffers to.

P.S.

Oh.. And Mirrors Edge isnt from EA, it´s from DICE.
EA is just the publishers.
Get your facts straight you poor little twat...

EA Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment AB (EA DICE) is a Swedish video game developer, wholly owned by Electronic Arts...

 

[MiyaKome]

who are you talking to? Yahtzee?
dude he's not here, he's too busy ignoring you to death.

Sure he does.

He faps to the praise and ejaculates at the disagreements.

 

[nought_0]

Wow.
I'd say Yahtzee's pretty much hit the nails on their heads.

I love it how youre saying GTA4 is a bad game. I myself didnt catch that fully untill I played Saints Row 2. I was playing GTA4 as any earlier GTA game and thought to myself that I was grown too old for that GTA kind of humor, I wasnt laughing when I drove over people, the radio stations werent that funny, and I didnt find much joy in becoming a crime boss.. then I played Saints Row 2 and it hit me like a ton of bricks.. GTA4 sucks as a GTA4 game, Saints Row 2 became the game I was expecting GTA4 to be. I love your brutal honesty Mr. Yahtzee, and would love to see what other game sites would say about GTA4 if they would take a second knock at it.
