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?

Haha, had me laughing my ass off within 30 seconds! "God of War ripoff, God of War ripoff, God of War ripoff, and God of War... Well God of War."

You realize all of Yahtzee's reviews aren't meant to be taken seriously and purposely bashes games for the fun of it? Well, I hope so since he does get a lot of things wrong.

For example
Demon Souls: He has a sook about the bad and useless messages you find that say things like LOL! and other random immature things. Yet, they have premade messages you can ONLY use so you can't make any yourself. Also, if they're not helpful they won't be rated and get deleted. Also you wouldn't have to keep going back and clearing monsters again if you were good at the game and didn't die so much it as isn't as hard a game as many people claim, you just need to be smart about what you do. So don't say a game is bad just because you're horrible at it.

Darksiders: Talking about games that are like God of War, Darksiders is a BIT like it but Bayonetta is NOTHING like it at all. If its like God of War, then God of War is a rip off of Devil May Cry according to his logic. 4 horseman of the apocalypse, Pestilence isn't one of them (Conquest, War, Famine, and Death are all 4), I know it doesn't really matter but shows that he's as capable as researching as a 10yo kid with down syndrome. Also if he doesn't know how to combo with more than 1 button he's playing this game and many others wrong.

Portal: Overrated piece of garbage, he probably goes around yelling "THE CAKE IS A LIE!" to everything, thinking he's funny saying such a low class and annoying quote that Dane Cook would find funny. If this is his perfect game, we all know why The Escapist doesn't allow him to seriously review games.

Uncharted 2: Saying the game is very similar to Gears of War because of one aspect, COVER SYSTEM! It's been used before, is he still stuck in the era of 16bit gaming? From now on, all games that use sticky cover system is now like Gears of War, especially Dark Void with the flying jet packs and all. Having a sook over the melee controls, what do you expect? Its primarily a shooter and you can also counter their attacks, probably why you died so much time trying to spam 1 button (too much WoW/Diablo for him). If there were complex controls for melee it'd become way too complicated and ruin the focus off gun fights. Play some SC4 or Tekken 6 if you want a fighter, know where to look.

Plenty more and will post more if fanboys have a sook like Yahtzee and want more, when it isn't needed.

Well, consider Heavy Rain. With no censorship, that is certainly a risk, and one I can wait to take. This episode was flat out funny and really well done. I think I will pick up Bayonetta but skip Darksiders. After all, hot chick that gets nude and kills with her hair? bonus!

You don't come here often do you? He has said he considers people who do that to be a the very bottom of humanity, nice to see you and he have that in common.

I think hes trying to be ironic there so people don't hate him more for his bad reviews.

Probably, but more original post/point still stands.
