Zero Punctuation: Darksiders

[momerfet]

Do I detect a hint of personal experience in this video? I hate surfers too bunch of bronzed wank bags. One thing that troubles me about this game is that war is supposed to be in attendance at any conflict so wasn?t it his business to be there anyway? Not like he has anything better to do.

Great review

Great review

The explanation for that is simple. Aphrodite had broken up with War again so he was all mopey and emo. Therefore the only way God could get him out of his house was to tell him that the Apocalypse was starting.

Aaa the deity version of inviting a mate out to a singles bar. It?s the oldest trick in the book

 

[aarontg]

Exuse me for sounding ignorant but what's with the big mouth thing on every single hooded character he makes?

 

[DazWolf]

I ended up getting it anyway as a rather mindless time waster before GoW 3 hits the shelves. As far as that goes, I was content with what it offered for what I got it for. Nothing is ever going to be totally and utterly original, like every other popular media medium from here to forever. Consumers have shot themselves in the foot as far as that goes, no one wants to try new and untested ideas even if creators wanted to go in that direction.

I'm guessing Yatzhee will have to explain what he means by "clone" in Extra Punctuation.

 

[Knight Templar]

It's obvious you have not personally played Demon's Souls

True, I have based my thoughts on what two of my friends have told me, if they were incorrect I apologise.

I really think he won`t like GOW3 as much as the others...

Look at the E3 2009 Demo...

Spoiler

sure it`s got a much better emphasis on graphics, and the demo showed some wonderfully rendered disembowelment, but the QTEs have become a little more frustating. Now you have to look at the four different sides of the screen, left for SQ, right for O, bottom for X, and top for TRI. making them difficult to spot. the prequels showed the QTE button in the center, so I guess the developers didn`t want to hide the gore behing a giant popup X. But GOW3 is to GOW2, what Banjo-Tooie was to Banjo-Kazooie, it doesn`t take anything from the previous game away, it adds more stuff, unlike pretty much every Zelda game there is.

But in all honesty, Yahtzee will probably like GOW3 to some extent...

Why anyone would get this game after Yahtzee mercilessly destroyed it is beyond me.

Because Yahtzee hates everything, and his reviews are meant to be taken with mountainous piles of salt.

Three words:

BEST.REVIEW.EVER!

 

[Turbo_ski]

Why anyone would get this game after Yahtzee mercilessly destroyed it is beyond me.

because Yahtzee isn't a real reviewer. If you don't believe me, then ask if you can trust his opinion on Demon's Souls when he admits to having not played the game past the 2nd level. Real reviewers like those at Kotaku and Gamespot play the entire game before giving their opinion on it.

 

[Linkassassin360]

Wow, yahtzee really nit-picked the crap outta darksiders. I like it, but he makes alot of good points.

 

[Hitl0r]

Yay, this is one of the better videos Yatzee made.
Overall very nice.
It seemed as if he speaks less fast and makes more breakes between sentences hence raising understanding of the viewer.
This and his clearer and angrier voice put mor emphasis on the content of his review.
Finally after some weeks, i enjoyed his review.

Gamespot aren't "Real reviewers." As much as I take Yahtzee with a grain of salt I trust him more than Gamespot - especially after the Kane and Lynch thing.

I don't see why he's so mad at ripping off God of War which was essentially a Devil May Cry rip-off. At least give credit where credit is due.

Even then, wouldn't Devil May Cry be considered a rip off of older games like Fighting Force?

and or Resident Evil since that was what DMC was meant to be, a new Resident Evil.

 

[Mikkaddo]

this game is nothing like god of war
your so silly!

quite a bit of rage there

I know, all of them are ripping off of Devil May Cry, they did it first after all.

Red Orbs, Devil may cry

obsession with "style" in combos, devil may cry

obnoxiously arrogant and capable main characters, devil may cry.

Because if they didn't they'd stop playing games? I've enjoyed many of the games he destroys just as much as the reviews in which he destroys them. Darksiders inculded. It's actually a very decent game.

I'm the same way, some of my most favorite recent games are in his reviews and torn to shreds, Mass Effect included. The reviews aren't to stop people from buying games, it's to give them a viewpoint they don't receive from someone being PAID to say that every game is golden treasure.
