Zero Punctuation: Awards for 2009

[matt87_50]

that was a Great epesode!! briliant names for the awards.

and thanks for including Atkinson!

we would like to make it clear that its not "Australia don't like mature games", not even "The Australian Government don't like mature games". ITS JUST LITERALLY THAT ONE FUCKER!

even the ratings board who actually experience, rate and ban the games want a mature rating!

so don't laugh at or feel sorry for Australia in general for not allowing mature games.

laugh or fell sorry for us for having a system so antiquated, redundant and just downright retarded that ONE RANDOM MP could have such an influence!!

I was hoping for Borderlands to win geniunely good game.... I've had no end of fun with it.

Agreed!
Brilliant episode, quadruple amputee award made me laugh and the bit at the end about Back To The Future. Good stuff.

I would add:

Most cliche'd: Dragon Age: Origins.

Most Delayed: Half-Life 2: Episode 3.

Of course I am risking redundancy and the captain obvious mantle.

 

[Zenode]

pffft he didn't give the Everything proof shield award for the Most obstinate efusal to die award to Stephen Conroy.

because of him Yahtzee you might not even have the internet soon.

Borderlands while not perfect is a really great game that has brought something new to the console generation, fun/fast paced coop gameplay.

Except that consoles have been doing that since last gen. More so even.

Name one game on any console that is like Borderlands.

I didn't say there are last console games like Borderlands, I meant to say that there have been great games that had fun/fast paced gameplay for along time. Borderlands didn't invent fun co-op.

The only thing Borderlands brings to the table that is "new" is the kinda sorta sandbox world for 2 people to run around in.

"Racism instead of legs" makes me giggle every time just for the way his vice goes all woobly.

I think he might've been saying Bruuuuuuutal Legend too much.

 

[Ultimacy]

For the love of God, turn that music down a couple of notches

 

[qbanknight]

oh yeah, what is your top 5 since you mentioned Ascreed 2 was hovering there (i'll take it Prototype and Infamous joined the ranks as well)

 

[qbanknight]

I would add:

Most cliche'd: Dragon Age: Origins.

Most Delayed: Half-Life 2: Episode 3.

Of course I am risking redundancy and the captain obvious mantle.

You earned it, congratulations!

I knew Yahtzee would spread bullshit about Mario in the franchise that refuses to die award, but decided to give it to a politician because Mario is too obvious. Oh, what about Sonic or Lara Croft? Dickhead!

 

[FallenMessiah88]

Even though a life long die hard Resident Evil fan i still have to agree with this video. Resident Evil 5, despite having great graphics, cool cinematics and fun gameplay, was just a big dispappointment. I think i would have liked it better if it had controls similar to dead space (evolution), just Chris fighting alone against the majini (horror) and a more developed backstory detailing Ozwells Spencer motives and whereabouts since Redident Evil 1. I wasent expecting it to be MGS4 but still. Oh well i understand that there are some new dlc coming in the form of new chapters. So i guess 2010 also means a clean slate for me and RE5. But great video overall, as always!

 

[bmff]

Yahtzee's voice is a bit low in volume this time! Oh, my. Not to mention sounding little bit, "Nice".
Enjoyable video this week!

 

[spyder25000]

You forgot game of the decade!

 

[wheel]

I was actually kind of impressed by the blackened stump of a heart still. I've never taken much notice of the art in ZP but now I think about it, it strikes me as pretty clever.

 

[Jens Viking]

I started the episode and there was no title music = WIN!! Like a bacon sandwich without bread.. in a bowl, obviously.

 

[DemonicVixen]

Yahtzee's voice is a bit low in volume this time! Oh, my. Not to mention sounding little bit, "Nice".
Enjoyable video this week!

OOOO someone else noticed that... congrats. I thought my hearing was going off.

 

[Sonic Doctor]

Liked not having the intro music this time. I usually forget to turn down the volume before I watch and end up having my ears fall out from between my headphones.

Great video.

I haven't got Batman: Arkham Asylum yet. I plan to when college stops making me poor. So far, I have been reduced to watching a friend play it over the winter break.

 

[ResonanceSD]

Want.To.Kill.Michael.Atkinson ><' Nice award for him though

 

[oneshotfinchy]

So good=perfect in Yahtzee's eyes? No game is perfect(besides tetris). The dig at Michael Atkinson was great though.

 

[Endocrom]

so what exactly happened with duke nukem forever? i remember watching Yahtzee's review and telling my brother it was out, only to be met with little to no evidence of that actually happening.

The conspiracy claims another victim.
