Zero Punctuation: Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

[T8B95]

It's hard to tell a good game from a bad one with Yahtzee... I understand, that its not the goal in these ranting reviews, but maybe some kind of shitometer would be appropriate to tell is the game worth buying or not? For instance other reviews of C:LoS made me quite confident i wanna play it. And watching Yahtzee's episode about it i can really tell no difference in the attitude in comparison to this one.

Let me refer you to the "Mailbag Showdown" video as to why Yahtzee doesn't do a scoring system.

Off topic, when is he going to do Fallout New Vegas? I want him to rip the shit out of that game. It is holding up TES V.

Or Medal of Honour. Played at a friend's house, was shit, should get some good laughs out of review.

Gawd, this sounds terrible. Never heard of it before and I'm sure I won't again.

Quite funny. Who is the person whose mug is frequently used in these Zero Punctuation videos? He appears at 0:33 in this one.

And here I was thinking you couldn't win me back.

That Noah's Ark game sounds awesome! lol

Actually a game really loosely based on Noah's Ark might be interesting.

Unfortunately, a very, very similar game to Yahtzee's idea has been made, albeit horrible. It's even a shooter, but instead of Yahtzee's idea, you sling-shot food into the mouth of various animals. Terrible execution.

It's a lot worse than it sounds, and I know it doesn't sound that good.

Skip to 13:20 in this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkNvQYiM6bw] video for a quick review on it that sums up how much balls it sucks about as well as I could.

It could be pretty cool if Fronzel's idea became a game, even if only as backstory as to "why this game takes place so far away from earth" or something.

Anyway, great video by Yahtzee, laughed out loud in so many sections especially the "Well let's just forget about Journey to the West, because the developers did!"

I ordered this game on Amazon.com for $5 ($20 off for some promotion I had, $15 off for a promotion that's ending tonight).

I guess loosely based is taking the names of characters and take like 1 trait and it would be "loosely based"...

 

[MorkFromOrk]

Yah know...Enslaved is not without it's faults, but overall I enjoyed the game enough to finish it. It's by no means a bad game. At the very least rent it.

 

[neon_samurai]

Hmm did'nt even touch the fact that the game can be beaten in like four hours.

 

[likalaruku]

It's probably more inspired by Saiyuki with Tripatarka being a combination of the bitchy, rinking, gambling, chainsmoking, gay-magnet Sanzo the devil-may-care flirtatious hermaphrodite "goddess" Kanzeon Bosatsu, so if Monkey is Goku then he really does get off on being smacked around.

 

[Waif]

I actually didn't like this game at all. Even though it did have certain moments when it felt like Uncharted, area and storyline aside.

Dear Yahtzee,
I'm writing this comment from a really distant place - Kazakhstan, Almaty.
I've been watching your game reviews for quite a while, ever since accidentally stumbling upon an article about you, full of LOVE at russian ED - lurkmore. I kinda find it a little bit hilarious that the big U.S.S Sellout you mentioned in one of your first vids gets a huge boner on you (various parodies in other Escapist series). The thing is, I'm sitting all alone, drinking me favorite Tullamore Dew, (hope you know what pure awesomeness it is) and I kinda thought - damn, I would really, really like to see you reviewing one of the most story-driven-shitty-gameplay game ever - Tim Cain's The Bards Tale. Seriously, if you never played it GO PIRATEBAY IT, NOW, AND DO A FUCKING REVIEW OF IT, LIKE NOW!!!

P.S.: On a side note, when is your Mog World be available to CIS or at least Europe\Russia.
P.S.S.: Please, Please let it be better, than "Yahtzee against the world, or how was that comic called"

You honestly just tell a writer for this site to illegally download a game?
