If ARCTIC EAGLE's parodying a review troll, they're exceptionally committed to the character. If so, I commend them.Storm Dragon said:
If not, they must be extremely new around here.

Don't we just?
I'm thinking of changing my user name to "Hooky Wingsuit," but I don't know what kind of racist he is. Any thoughts?
So the guy with the bag on his head is like the raven girl from Resident Evil 5.

you realize she's a chick and Jill died in an flashback and you never saw her body
For some reason this video just didn't do it for me. On the one hand it feels like Yahtzee didn't go far enough with the bad, but on the other it feels like there are parts where he didn't give credit, even if it was something small. I think the white privilege part worked for a bit, but was perhaps a little bit more drawn out then what I expected. I don't know, it actually feels kind of expected at this point.
I enjoyed it. I don't know if that makes me uncool, or wrong, or too mainstream to be allowed to have a worthy opinion, but its the truth. I thought it wouldn't be that great, like MW3, but black ops 1 had a good story and I loved the cold war black ops stuff and the cool retro toys like the SR-71. In this one its the same except theres even cooler toys in the future, and just having the knowledge that you can fail a mission and thats it, its part of the story now, made it so refreshing. I really wanted to complete certain objectives and thought I played it how I wanted to. They've woven set pieces in with player-driven narrative, put together with CoDs still unbeatable gameplay mechanics and it really is a very good game. THIS one. Not all CoDs. This one, MW1 and BO1 were very good. The rest you can miss out.
Also Yahtzee does satire, not reviews, so people who are saying "Finally, he tells it like it is!" don't be so pessimistic just because a game is successful commercially. Plus I don't know why he spent most of the time talking about racism, he might as well have said the game was "gay" and so is "ur mum".

Oh dear. This could be trouble.LiquidGrape said:

About whether you should do it, or what kind of racist he is?Shiro No Uma said:
I think rating it OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!!!! is probably enough to put this in parody territory.Storm Dragon said:
You have certainly seem to have changed your tune since the original escapist review was put out. I believe you said...ARCTIC_EAGLE said:
"mindless, same-old-same-old, built 5 years ago, yet somehow able to get 4/5. I find it interesting that reviewers are willing to give COD:BO2 4/5 or 90-100 even though its the same game for 5 years but won't give MOH:W anything above a 60...but ya its legit."
OT: not surprised by the review, i borrowed it from a friend who decided to get it, and once again the only part of the game i felt had evolved was the zombies.
There's a theme that's become more and more apparent lately in Yahtzee's work--mean-spirit towards the US, hatred of all things particularly associated with the US, false association of guns with gun-nuts.
Anyways, I got bored and had to do something else.

In fairness, when America stops making midless racist pro-imperlist America Fuck Yeah games where the main goal is to protect America from any arab or russian that looks at the US funny, he'll probably stop complaning about them.CentralScrtnzr said:
After MW3 I just had enough of the series. After Oliver North was announced as a consultant, I just said "nope.avi" and went back to my backlog of books.
