I have tu admit, this is one of those few times I will ahve to disagree with him. Bayonetta isn't a God of War ripoff. It's a Devil May Cry ripoff. a great game nonetheless. Devil May Cry was released before God of War so they get first dibs in the action genre.

wow that was the funniest review I had seen by Yahtzee in a long time. That for some reason makes me want to play the game even more.

I am a monster truck that walks like a man that part got me laughing

Whoa, Whoa, WHOA!!! Hold your horses people. Bayonnetta is NOT and I repeat NOT a GOW clone in any way shape or form! It is a DMC clone in many ways, except it has boobs and plays smoothly. Saying that Bayonnetta is a GOW clone is like saying GOW is a DMC clone since DMC came out before GOW. We all know better than to believe DMC plays the same way as GOW. So in no way can Bayonnetta be a GOW clone.

Questioning gameplay, storyline, character development... that's all fine. Criticising Joe Madureira's artwork? That's crossing the line! Last I checked Yahtzee was a 'game' critic.

"I am a monster truck that walks like a man!"

That is the greatest thing I've ever heard.

I'm going to need a shirt and/or hoodie with that line printed on it... ASAP!

tl;dr

Just wanted to mention that Yahtzee forgot this game also "borrows" from Devil May Cry as WAR can also transform into a demon form when his demon bar (or w/e the hell they call it in that game) fills up.

Otherwise another solid and hilarious episode ^^

i do have to agree with you that it was exactly like god of war and zelda
....and shitty portal
but it was still a good game
and i got it for free
so i wasnt compelled to like it
you know the convincing yourself you like the piece of shit game
that you jus spent 70 bucks on to make it feel like you could have spent that money better
on so many different things burnin it a different game funding my road trip

So I guess this means we won't be getting a review of the new Dawn of War expansion...
I don't think Yahtzee's ever covered an expansion pack, and iirc he isn't too keen on RTSs either, so I could've told you this before this episode really.

Fuckin' hell, Did anyone see that?


Oh, my - I couldn't stop laughing for a while.

I do the exact same thing to my friends when playing a game..

This was probably the best episode I've seen

Agreed - apart from maybe the Mailbag showdown.

The more ranting - the better.

Great job, but you really expect War to have character? It's like you said, all he does is break things!

To all of the people who keep saying "Gowersh! Yahtzee shur sownds angry." all I can say is no shit. He's angry for good reason. Rip offs are horible in more ways then one. They tend not to be as good as the original and they sap the market of more creative titles because it's mor profitable to steal other peoples ideas. So there!
But....but....He insulted my 40k addiction
(makes sad whimpering sound)

Seriously though, Isnt God of war a rip-off of other hack-and slash titles, I mean devil may cry was out 4 years before GOW ever saw the light of day. And if I recall, even that wasen't "new".
Now Im not saying GOW doesn't deserve its mantle,
just pointing out that most "popular" and "good" games, are often less innovative then their mid-teer brothers.
While "innovation" is always welcome, change in a title is much more about how its done, rather than what.

A good idea, executed poorly is much less desirable than a bland idea executed flawlessly.
Yes, I agree that remakes can be tolorated and copying others ideas is okay if you do it well, BUT, if it becomes more profitable to not think, then gems like portal and other such inovative titles will come out less frequently. On the other hand if that does happan it will give Yahtzee a shitload of stuff to yell about, which is always fun.

I had heard how it ripped off Zelda, but dang.

Can the economy get better so developers are allowed to take risks in the near future?
