I had several bouts of Vertigo while attempting the jetpack dogfight sequences.
Fuck me, those sudden 180-degree turns only disorient me more and fighting in full 360 is a right *****, especially when the enemy has a near-constant lock-on on me and I'm struggling to find out from which direction the painful pointy things are coming from.

Hahaha, that was great.
Definitely going down as one of your best reviews as of late, hoping to see more disappointments to inspire such wondrous pieces of comedic venom in the future.

"Crispy fried puke down to the fucking bone barrow..."
Now that's gotta be the fucking metaphor of the entire history of the English language.

Loved how you could relate the game to one particularly gruesome death scene in Dead Space where you're forced to cheer for his unlikely, heroic effort to escape doom despite all the signs pointing to his tragic, imminent failure :(

It's because they replied before having seen the actual video. The rules are clear: bans and suspensions if you do it. It's an attention-grabbing thing that you'd think would have sorted itself out quickly. 60 Zero Punctuations later and it's still going on

My confusion concerns that notion. Two of the comments referred to content FROM the video, implying that they had viewed it. However, if their times indicated that they replied so quickly that it was chronologically impossible for them to have seen the content AND posted, then I would concede entirely.

I'm looking forward to the ME2 review, as Yatzeeh seems to be one of the few stout critics who don't blindly find it awesome. Apart from the visual aspect I don't see anything impressive about ME2, the dialogues and story don't interest me one bit. Evil robots? Oh no! Evil insects? Oh no! Really...
yeah, me too. got the first and the whole story doesn´t hook me. also, no matter how hard i try, my sheperd is an asshole.

sorry for the off topic post btw.

This is the first Zero Punctuation video in a long time where I've actually watched it immediately a second time after the credits rolled. Not due to any noisy roommates or irritating house-cats, mind you, just because it was that damn awesome. I'm seriously thinking about turning the image of Will rocketing through the movie theater screen into a desktop wallpaper. This might even be my favorite ZP, with Valkyria Chronicles and Wet tied for a close second.

I am a little surprised there was no mention Dark Void Zero for DSiWare, but maybe that's being saved for Extra Punctuation.

Perfect comic timing, wonderfully tortured metaphors, and a noticeable jump in energy from the last few videos, this feels like a real return to form for Yahtzee.

As I do not intend to go through this intere thread to see if my question has already been answered, I will simply ask now:
At 1:33, when he mentions Julia Roberts, I noticed that there is a female torso hanging in top part of the video; what is that about? A simple mistake, which was made, when he created the video?
Again maybe this has already been mentioned, but far too long to go through all the post, so please answer.

By the way, great review.

just bought this for £14.99 on play.com

after this review i feel it's worth giving it a look for that price. knowing how these things work i'll probably be able to trade it in at Game for £25 or something ridiculous like that

I didn't figure I would pick it up. Looked like the only thing going for it was the jetpack, and your review convinced me of that. Maybe a renter.

I still kind of want to get this game, but it just looks like another shooter, only with flying involved. Maybe if it sells well, a nice sequel will get made. Oh, and I think I like the ending joke almost as much as the "last male panda" joke :D

I laughed very hard. I had no real reason to comment tho, till I saw this:
http://kotaku.com/5465085/australias-anti+r18%252B-game-rating-attorney+general-sees-fake-people

Seems that certain asshat in power that Yahtzee so despises is in the news again for, guess what, being a closed minded idiot who doesn't look into his babble.
