Because some of us have lives, as in working jobs and going to class, hence making the entire 10 hour period between 12-4:30, work, and 4:30-10:00, class, and the hour commute home, not time spent dicking around on the internet.Dawkter said:
I?m not on a high horse. I just don?t see how you?re rubbing anything in people?s face by using his reviews. If someone finds Dead Space scary then no comedian is going to change that.[/quote]Dawkter said:

My 12 year old has been waiting with bated breath for Yahtzee's review of this game and would have been cheesed that I watched it without him (which I was absolutely going to do since he's already in bed for the night). Now I guess I have no choice but to wait.
I am also having trouble with the vid. Guess it'll have to wait.

I'm not the type of person to get all smug about something other people can't control... but this is making me wonder why people didn't watch it earlier when it was working.Blazingdragoon04 said:
I can tell you it's pretty funny.
Oh, yeah, when he says DS isn't scary, he's right. Anybody with a good special effects program can make zombies quickly come out of nowhere. Like someone told me, DS is tense, not scary. Tense.[/quote]
Nah. Mine is a straight-A, well-mannered kid so I don't mind letting him watch the reviews, though he doesn't (thankfully) "get" some of the more naughty references. Luckily, he has yet to ask me what a triple-cunted hooker is, so I'm safe for right now.instantbenz said:
Besides, Dead Space 2 isn't exactly for kids either but he had no problems blowing necromorph ass away anyway (and neither did I, frankly).
Because some of us have aforementioned children and can't find two seconds (during the day) to rub together to pee in peace much less stop everything and hop on the computer. Besides, I never know when during the day on Wednesday the video goes online so I just wait until the end of the day.Dawkter said:
*edit* I was not being snarky. Just stating the facts, yah.
I think it was much better than the original, everything across the board is improved.mrhateful said:
And the scripted events are important, it doesn't really matter that they don't last long, because they give you something to REMEMBER, something to look back on and go "that was FUCKING AWESOME!" their impact lasts long beyond their actual duration.
Everyone says "it's shocking" or "it's just jump-scares" as if that's a bad thing. So what? It's fun as shit.
ITS WORKING GO GO GO GO.
Quite frankly I've manged to find a video walktrhough on youtube of Dead space 2 so... i can say that if you like being scared, and scared in this case being "OMG MONSTER GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO" not "What was... Just a door, WAIT. Something is there. I CAN HEAR IT." kind of scary, then Dead Space 2 would be pretty fun.
Course what Yahtzee says ultimately doesnt matter. If you like Dead Space 2 nothing will change after watching this. If you're on the fence, go on youtube watch some videos. See if the gameplay and story is what you are looking for.
Dont understand all this "Omg Yahtzee is teh meanzors." sentiment. He's caustic to everything.

(dyslexic so no petty spelling remarks)
the pros of dead space 2
1) isaac now talks which makes sense as we are supposed to feel sorry for him
2)there is no stupidly big bosses to contend with like the hive mind,
3)that beginning scene where isaac sees nicole climb on the table i thought was genius
4)the dog necromorphs made me jump a bit
cons
1) having babies be necromorphs seems dark but they don't pull it off, its like in equilibrium when the dogs get shot you actually feel sorry for the dogs because they start yelping, if dead space had babies crying in the background that would have been dark (this is meant to be a horror game)
2) I want a monster like Nemesis from RE3 a monster that you meet in the first hour but constantly stalks you it should be slow but indestructible
3) how the fuck can my bare foot chop up bodies
4)some nice flashbacks of nicole would have been nice to actually make us like the character
5) how about we only get the kick ass guns during the boss fights and maybe only for the boss fights
6)I really wanted this to be the final chapter the fact that there is at least a dozen of these markers makes me think that dead space will be running as long as resident evil, three is your limit
7 why not some juxtaposition i mean i liked how in dead space you'd occasionally man a turret i would have loved to play as one of them underwater salvage vessels (obviously in space) with the arms for mending\fighting and wrestling big necromorphs using cutting lasers, i know it would be an aliens rip but i doubt the kids would know
8 remove the plasma cutter it is too effective, it doesn't make the game scary it is suitable in any situation if it isnt simply use stasis and now it is.
9 how about not making the vents stick out like a sore thumb, and try to make the game feel unscripted if a monster has just dragged a guy into a vent why isn't he coming after me, he's clearly killed the guy and knows he ain't going anywhere so why isn't it now chasing me.
10 gore does not mean scary, scary things have to be threatening. the juggernauts in modern warfare 2 are scary theres no way i do that high explosive mission without camping atop them stairs, how about you add in parts where it is nescessary I run and hide
here's what would have made a good bit, using a child in an audio log as either a reference or a character, it would be scary to hear a psych report of someone who tried/did murder his kids

I never listen to what Yahtzee says, I just laugh at what he says. If I ever listened to him I would never buy another video game in my life because apparently they are all tripe!
Yahtzee is entertaining, but in the way you find Fox news entertaining, but when you want real news then you go and watch CNN or BBC. In the same way I listen to IGN or my local gaming mag.
