You know what the worst part about Catwoman is? She was featured so much in the hype, that locking her off was somwhow even dumber than Rage's sewers.

Wail im not sure about the mad hatter quest I do know the find nora quest can be beaten after the main story. Thers another entrence in the gcpd building. The one you take out after mr freeze gives you the ice grenades. You can see it if you look closely on the in game map.Kopikatsu said:
And I know for a fact I just completed the Mad Hatter mission, after the main story. So I'm not entirely sure what vanished for you.Kopikatsu said:
Ugh, didn't feel as if Yathzee was really into the review. I get the impression that he didn't really like the game very much, but neither did he find particularly faulty. Unlike K&L 2, Arkham City didn't immortalize itself with its lack of quality.
Might get it when Steam puts it on Sale.

That Batman and the Argonauts line was fucking awesome.
Just throwing that out there.
Because it was.

Didn't realize some side missions were locked off if you didn't do them before the main mission ended. I could've sworn I finished the main mission before I found deadshot, and I know I didn't find the face cutting guy till afterwards. Still a great game wished the night wing DLC was like the catwoman won and not just combat challenges.
Yeah and if you leave it on while in the City you can't see shit. It seems like they made the Bat vision harder to see with.Dr_Steve_Brule said:
Here's my problem with Zero Punctuation - I really think he's forgotten why he exists. You're meant to beat to crap the bad games so the good ones shine all the brighter, not nitpick everything to death and then say "oh wait no it's pretty good I guess". It came to a peak around Red Dead Redemption where he made a quick turnaround "well-written, good-looking, fun"... I'm not saying Yahtzee shouldn't nit-pick, but it's all started to get lost in a muddle. The horrible games get as much negative attention as the good games, and his recommendations have gone from "this is great" to "meh, buy it, I guess".
It could be because there aren't actually any great games that have came out recently, and I'd buy that, but even the few titles he admits are great he has to rub all through the mud. YOU'RE ALLOWED TO BE POSITIVE. Zero Punctuation used to be 2 parts bile to one part praise... now it's just all bile, all the time, and it's really not as enjoyable anymore. It's still incredibly funny and the critique is as biting as ever, I just miss it when distinction between good and bad was more than a sentence at the end and a pat on the head.

Well someone just flipped his or her shit for no reason. It's an opinion champ, its mine and if you dont like it? Deal with it.Asehujiko said:
Also cars and houses are not video games.
"Don't buy pre-owned?" This from the guy who once flogged Gametraders Robina in his Super Smash Bros. Brawl review [/videos/view/zero-punctuation/35-Super-Smash-Bros-Brawl] (although the Robina store doesn't appear to exist anymore)?
I'm not sure who you talked to, or what distorted world view they managed to slip in your Kool-Aid, but trading in used games is not and never has been a problem.
GameStop, on the other hand, are monumental assholes, and should not be patronized under any circumstances.

Yeah they had so much ambition and wanted to cram in so many characters, encounters etc that nothing really gets as much attention as it deserves and while its all magnificent you can't help but wonder how much more incredible it could have been with more focus. Also their is one scarecrow-like moment in the game with another character, but its over too quickly which is lame. I wanted more "get inside bruce waynes head" stuff like that.
Also yeah wayyyy too much riddle stuff this time around. I intend to find and complete all of it on PC in a couple weeks just so I can see what the riddler encounter is like lol.

Anyone else get the feeling that he had a hard time picking flaws? To me it seemed like he was just talking about a few blatantly obvious things that are only occasionally frustrating.
And based on ZP's previous videos...I think that means he really liked this game haha
