Zero Punctuation: E3 2010

[Zudarkness]

Like how he commented on the PS 3 move remote. it looks like a (swear words come and unite for truth and justice) dildo. Well it does.

E 3 wasen't all that impressive overall. Nintendo has recycle hash again. Xbox biggest thing was Kientic and a couple of games including Halo 5 but msotly kientic and sony had the best E3 which was more conserated on games but still had a motion thing which ws still sad.

I however like Raiden's charater consept but not looking foward to Metal gear whatever it is. Hideko did not conscerate his effort into that game and let some other people fool around with it.

Lets just face it. They might as well make Motion seasor,interactive porn for the gaming systems already cause thats whats probally going to happen

This is becoming tiresome. Microsoft, Sony, do you wish to know why you are having difficulty in the market with sale figures? It is because the majority of the games you have released a complete garbage. No, it is not the motion idiocy you have attempted to impose upon us gamers. Honestly, with only a handful of games being released that have a fragment of appeal, you wonder the competency of gaming company when this are baffled we would rather play "old relics" for the unteeth time then be forced to endure their trash.

Here is a thought, why not attempt to develop video games like you use to . You know, the ones we all still prefer playing. I have no interest in patting some imaginary cat, I have two perfectly real ones I could saunter over and pat to my leisure. In addition, no I do feel the desire to flail about as though a bee flew into my trousers whilst I had a seizure. I want to play games with a regular controller and enjoy them. If this means replaying Final Fantasy X for the zillionth time, hooray...

So States the person who has probally played at least three differnt verisons of Zelda, Metroid, Mario Party, Pokemon,Donkey Kong, Super Smashbrothers, Wii sports, Mario kart, Mario for the zillionth time and probally has payed a lot to just play the 8 or 16 bit games on the Wii. The only real actual remake that was semi noticable was Punchout. Yatzee stated it perfect when Nintendo has been known for rehashing their titles for the longest time and sell it to their rabid fans. Why can't Mario just kill Bowawer already and just bang the Princess right after.

But that's the thing: it's still a criticism and not just an insult. He says "such-and-such is [ insulting comment ], because [ reason ]." Maybe it's not so formulaic, but the fact is that he almost always provides a reason for his venom.

These people I am referring to do not. The insulters usually (rather pathetically) just lazily threw out a couple of gender-based insults for whatever reason, and seldom if ever explain what bothered them about the song. Even when they did offer reasons, I would say that their insults were completely unnecessary, and most likely weakened their argument in the eyes of any person who had two neurons to rub together. After all, they are not Yahtzee, so they haven't publicly established that it's a part of their persona to treat everyone equally abysmally.

Agreed, that kind of behaviour is obnoxious. There's absolutely nothing wrong with female vocalists in general, and nothing wrong with RMM's singing voice in particular. But there are also many posters who have made valid points about RMM's song here - for one thing, it wasn't really that original or funny. It sounded to me like just another cookie-cutter pop love (hate?) ballad, a musical form which I make absolutely no pretense about disliking. The rhymes were contrived and the lyrics were generally loose, banal and unimaginative. For the life of me, I can't understand why anyone would consider it 'epic'.

... but as there is no accounting for taste, I do respect the rights of people to say so.

Wow. I never knew so many people had such difficulty in ignoring unwanted stuff. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Better yet, don't comment about it. It's kind of close to those people who love the PS3 games but cannot play Mass Effect, and so they comment on Mass Effect Youtube vids about how much it sucks.

If only it could be ignored. But because of it, the things we love get replaced. Face it, this E3 was all in the lieu of Motion control and not at all about the games. Sure, there were a few really good gems out there, like Deus Ex and stuff, but mostly it was motioncontrol.

Also, because the focus shift now moves to marketing for games 'anyone can enjoy' instead of 'gamers will enjoy this' the really good releases will be further apart and more rare.

This isn't something that can be ignored.

You know, it's funny how you're complaining about the console companies saying how gamers aren't interested about the controllers, they want the games, yet when you play an actual game you tear it to shreds and call it a piece of crap. What do you want? Not every game is going to be as intuitive and amazing as Portal you moron. You can go ahead and keep replaying that until Portal 2 if you want, I'm going to be trying out all the new games as they come out, whether or not there has been a third person adventure game in the past.

Yahtzee is a game critic (or likes to think of himself as one) and only points out the negative aspects of the game (most of the time)

 

[Girl With One Eye]

I agreed with everything Yahtzee said, especially about Raiden!

Ah gaming puberty at its best.

 

[Tevana]

Can only hope that motion controls are just a fase, and not one that will eventually be a requirement to play any game. Would suck dearly.

Such is why I fancy posted derived of baseless assumption, attempting to pass itself as a jab. In actuality I do not current, nor have I ever, owned a Nintendo Wii. Furthermore the last Zelda, Mario and etc game I played was beyond a decade ago on the N64. I have yet to play Metroid at even given interval and the likelihood I do is minimal at best. If you hardly believe the vast majority of games released in recent years on any console were decent, you have my sympathy. For every good game released, ten more follow as shelf ware.

Beyond that I do not see the necessity for your post other than being a console fanboy peeved I seemingly defended Nintendo verse its competitors.

I actually liked many of the games in E3, still not a big fan of motion controls. Though Kirby Yarn does look fun, strangely enough. I'm not too sure what to think about the 3D element in TVs. They might not last past the development phase. I've actually got to demo that particular TV, and for the price I don't think it would be worth it to me. I might get a 3DS though, if anything to upgrade from my DSLite. That and I understand that the games on it will be certainly worthwhile. All things considered it was a good E3, motion controls aside.

 

[Lord_Seth]

Interesting. The song isn't at the end anymore.

Incidentally, after listening to it again (the song, I mean; it's still over at Rebecca Mayes's section), I think it was...okay. The biggest problem with it, to me, is that it lacks polish. Some retakes, maybe a little rewriting, and better background music would've really helped it out.

 

[Yopaz]

Another bloody Kid Icarus too. Can't forget that, Yahtzee.

Another bloody [insert title] was meant to all the games you know will be announced at every E3. Kid Icarus has been absent since 1991 and it's only the third game in the series so it was a small surprise.

 

[gardyna]

hmm i was so sure he would at least mention Portal 2 (super hyped for that game) and deus ex

 

[Dr Snakeman]

My god... I actually agreed with
Every.
Single.
Thing.
he said in this rundown. I mean, usually I'll have one or two minor disagreements with Yatzee's reviews; his extremist opinions make sure of that. This time, though, he took every word out of my mouth, right down to his statement about why the movie industry is on a 3-D bender lately. I'm impressed.

 

[Lacsapix]

no Portal 2 in this episode (that would be to eazy)

 

[Jedted]

Motion controles would be perfect for Heavy Rain. You'd wave your arms to shout "Jason!".

This was a great run down of all the big stuff announced at E3(wish he talked about AC:Brotherhood though) but damn he talks FAST! I know he always talks fast but it sounded like he was talking even faster to get everything in, i had to rewind a few time just to catch some of the jokes.

 

[XsSlayeR3]

As always fantastic make me laugh ma head

 

[delanofilms]

Why the hell do the first few posts get suspended on his videos, whether they deserve it or not???

 

[kingoftheworld]

Finally someone said what every one is think (or at least what i was thinking) motion controls are shit. They are pointless and work when they want to, which is never. 3d isn't looking to good 2 me either.

 

[chibiev]

I know people who are very excited about E3 and the new Nintendo games coming out, but I am not one of them. I can get why a new twist on the familiar might be fun, but personally I'm sick of sequels. Give me a franchise like God of War that stops with three excellent games, Ratchet and Clank which has a compelling arc and cool new weapons for every game, or Final Fantasy (except for XIII) which reinvents itself. I have no interest in playing sequel after sequel after reboot after sequel.
