Video is broken guys. Or is it just the HD?

 

[revanzero]

Can't say this isn't true.
Great review!

 

[ramboondiea]

well its about damn time! ah
and yeah that goldfish racism was just aweful.
also you should have gone with then name 'hudson hawk' it never gets old

Video is broken guys. Or is it just the HD?

Same here. I need my fix MAN!

 

[Miniges]

this is pretty much exactly what i thought. do you need a young boy ward to go on adventures with you?

 

[Deshin]

I'm having an issue with the video, is it making an odd buzzing sound every now and then (noticed around 3:20 til 4:00) or is it my speakers?

I kept having to pause thinking my fan was clogged

 

[CatinHat]

Seems like they want to kill this game off

 

[EHKOS]

I wanted to hear him yell at everyone for being idiots about hyping and satanizing the game.

 

[Worgen]

personally I kind of liked how you didnt have some huge world ending plot and it was more about your life.... altho they certainly could have done a better job at that and the endless baddies did get old, I mean you would think at least the dogs would have some self preservation instinct

 

[bmart008]

Heh, that was a pretty good one, I'll not get into this game, as I wasn't really all that interested in it anyways. Especially if there's no cohesive story either.

 

[emusega]

Oh thank god. If it was good I would have to go back and play the first installment which I skipped despite all the praise I tried to ignore.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Glad I didn't waste $60 on this. Funny, higher the PC games cost the worse they are. Bulletstorm was the only $60 PC game I've seen that was actually worth it.

 

[TheFPSisDead]

that was actually quite funny, bravo yahtzee

 

[Deshin]

Just a quick note: Your surname was also static in Dragon Age Origins. If you played a human noble your surname was always Cousland, if you played human mage your surname was always Amell (and you'd be the cousin of Hawke in DA2 to be technical).

 

[Celtic_Kerr]

I was honestly expecting a bigger rant on the dungeon recycling.

I didn't. Yahtzee tries to mention things that other people don't. Critical Miss and everyone else is ranting about the recycling to the point where I'm almost ready to rip my ears off and tell people to get some originality in their life.

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

If the backlash is any indication, "knobbing off" would not have been the most popular subtitle for this game...

 

[B Goy]

I'm guessing I'm the only one who got the Daily Mail reference?

 

[Thespian]

Everything he said here was true, but it was also what I liked about the game. I prefer a story that's just about some Refugee guy who's life is fucked up and gets a few lucky breaks and then makes a name for himself. Why does it have to be more? Why must the fate of EVERYTHING EVER constantly rest on THE ONE LAST HOPE OF EVERYTHING EVER? Okay, so if every story was about some random guy trying to make it in the world we'd get bored, but I thought DAII was a nice refreshing perspective. There was no good or evil, just several displaced political groups and a desperate need for some coin.

 

[Silk_Sk]

Anyone else hearing this weird woodpeckerish sound in the background?

Btw "Mike Hawke." Say it out loud in the library.
