I think it's either he heard it was bad and wanted to see just how bad it could possibility be(now regretting that decision) or he wanted to blow off some steam and figured he'd pick a game he could actually get worked up about.

I like Yahtzee at his best when he's reviewing an absolutely terrible game. The Conduit, Ride to Hell Retribution, Clive Barker's Jericho, MindJack, Dark...

I know they aren't exactly a good thing for keeping the likelihood of his suicide down, but I'll be damned if they aren't hilarious.

Although, I do remember him saying that getting to slag off Clive Barker's Clive Barker's Jericho by Clive Barker was a "way to unwind", and that he "de-stresses" after things like the aftermath of his The Last of Us review by reviewing things like Ride to Hell Retribution...

"Looking forward to reviewing non-Wii U games at some point" implies that such a review would not be next, and instead there would be Mario Party 10 or Mario Tennis: "Mega Mushroom Edition".

Oh, the New Year release drought.

Are you sure the "Third" part of Devil's Third isn't just a meta way of saying that this was the thrid revision of the game itself, assuming each revision kept adding more shit instead of balancing which shit needed the most polish so that it doesn't end up feeling like you're playing a very rare turd overall?

Other than that, "drowning in a Bukkake" would be the most unintentionally funny thing to hear about during a porn award show memoriam... :p

So that's the second review of not-the-wii-u-game-I-expected in a row (yes, i'm ignoring the top 5 video), and I'm losing hopes of seeing a xenoblade chronicles X review. Oh well, at least that was entertaining.

Well, the Wii U was noticeably absent from his Top 5 video, which you might call in itself a negative review.

I get the feeling he just reviewed this because of its infamy and he wanted an easy target.

I'd get mad at him for that but I'm baffled as to how he even got a copy of it. The damn thing is rare.
That many people bought it or that many people collected copies and burned them? Though I guess I can't discount the possibility that whoever made the game knew it wasn't gonna sell much and didn't bother with a large initial run.

Odd that he wonders when he will get to do a non-Wii U review. Why is he limited to that at this time? Isn't the number of titles to review for PS4 and XB1 dwarfing WiiU?

Trying to bulk up my Wii U library before it the system goes belly up. ZombieU: worst thing you could write. I hear it is hard. No thanks. Now I have to check into this. Hope it is easy.

I wonder if he considers this game bad enough to take ride to hell's life time achievement award in total abhorrence?

Since October, not really, unless you count ports of PC games and "remasters". And, looking at the release schedule, he's pretty much going to be playing catch-up and filler until February (Unless he decides to do Lego Avengers).
