Zero Punctuation: Dark Void
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
I heard that Dark Void, like Bionic Commando, was based on a classic game, remade into a more mordern, "hardcore" game. Actually, as it turns out, I mistook the "boxart" for the "classic" game as being an actual NES/Commodore 64 game, when it actuality, it was just made up for the DSiWare tie-in, Dark Void Zero.
I guess their thought was, since the remade Bionic Commando was more well-received than the newer "hardcore" one, they might as well get Capcom to make something similar for Dark Void, so that just in case the actual game sucks, there's the chance that the tie-in game will be better.
Does Yahtzee have a DSi? Maybe he could review it, or some games on it along with Dark Void Zero.

Damn, first what, five people all suspended? And shockingly, none of them said 'first'...
that out of the way, I've gotta ask: was that a very tentative, veeeeeeery hesitant recommendation there? I mean, you didn't totally destroy it, and you presented some very nice points... still, great video, even if the moral gets a little confusing.
And really, Too Human was the worst game you've ever played evar?? huh. I thought that honor would have gone to Turok, seeing as how you spent that entire review saying Turok was a frankenstein monster of the worst aspects of the FPS genre. but then again, if there's one thing I hate it's 3rd person shooters, so Too Human would probably take my vote too.

hey, I'll take 'too easy' over 'too hard' any day. at least then I can beat the last boss and feel like I got something out of my purchase, as opposed to feeling that the game has beaten me.ZippyDSMlee said:
Stop laughing, Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. One day...
I hope it's not too old to be remembered, though I am disappointed that it took a hundred posts to get mentioned in the forums.HentMas said:All i could think of trough the video was about "the rocketeer" game for the ness based on the movie based on the comic (yeah, i know) *google search*

it was really fun to play, weird it wasnt mentioned on the vid... or is it too old to be remembered??
Throughout the video, I was essentially thinking "Interplanetary Rocketeer". Sounds like it would be worth a go; I used to play Aerofighters Assault for the N64 as a flight sim more than a dogfighter, the physics were so good.
Too Human is the worst game Yahtzee's reviewed? Odd, I thought that "prize" would've gone to either Wet (which he declared in an interview to be a conglomeration of pretty much everything he hates in games) or Sonic Unleashed (which probably had the most sheer vitriol of any review I've seen from him)
Well.... if you built it decently then have the whole easy=normal/normal=hard,hard=hell, just make a very easy mode where all caps are doubled and maybe remove penalties...but not rape the every living hell out of the default setup...... ><J-Alfred said:
Here is my rant for BS FYI

this was great =D
and really he did bring up great points in review
I mean, in many aspects the game just looks...well meh
but then they did bring the jet pack, and if that can be utilized to its entirety in gameplay (most gameplay videos of non-air combat the player isn't using the jet pack at all really and just doing zzz cover shooting)

Mass Effect 2 came out here in Australia Jan. 28th with no modifications to it whatsoever. Ive been playing the shit outta it! I expect Yahtzee to 'review' ME2 next week. He will probably rip on the planet scanning mini-game a lot and maybe even accuse the main story for being 'safe'.blakfayt said:
Yeah it's doing that to me to. It's actually doing it to all other Escapist stuff like Unskippable. It's really frustrating.VaporFox said:
Wow, I guess even a jetpack can't save an incomplete game.
Is it just me, or did that look like the bacon flow chart at 3:31?
