[101194]

I became king in this game and bought ever single f*cKing house bought a mansion and it took me two whole f*cking days to do it and after all that I get no Royality bonus no one saying "How you do King" Why the H3ll Would you allow someone to be crowned King and then Tell them You can't do anything with your powers you can still get arrested you can walk into bowerstone and kill 1000 people and your only penitaly is doing a quest to kill some troll to Repay your debt its just retarded Thanks Yahtzee It really gives me pleasure on wendsdays when you take games that are full of themself and Tear that Aszhole Up.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that it doesn't. Granted it's been a while since I have seen the movie, but I don't think that ever happened. What part are you thinking of?

I'm probably thinking of a different film, but I was sure at one point a child was accidentally shot...

No, I think I'm thinking of a different film, sorry.

In Bruges, maybe? It's also got two fast-talking, smarty pants hitmen.

"Why can't I marry my dog?". Love the little dog animation with the wedding veil, haha.

 

[Archemetis]

As much as i truly love the game and its predecessor, this review was spot on in my opinion.
It is just more of the same with a little more piled on for good measure... with a dog.

Every issue brought up was relevant and true, but it left me wondering...

Why not mention the other(admittedly) more obvious flaws?

 

[DYin01]

Thank you Yahtzee for giving me something to look forward to on a Wednesday

Agreed! Too bad thousands of other people apparently think the same, because I can never get to the video till somewhere around 22:00 (or 10PM, if you're American).

Chips is not a proper name for a dog!

Also, good lord, the way the Escapist is whoring themselves out to Nuts & Bolts, I hope Croshaw doesn't review it... they might break his legs or something if he gives it a bad review.

I don't know escapist is out to make a dam and he WILL review and hell tear it that sh!t up because its bound to be terrible

Fuck off Yahztee. Fable 2 was awsome and is still one of my all time favorites. Fuck you are so one dimensional.

Get off the forms peter and go back to Lionhead...dam Brisish...

So far the videos have been playing fine for me, once and a rare while they freeze or lag a bit. I use Firefox, but as for some of the complaints on the game adverts at the start and end of the video, well that's just business. Gotta advertise to keep the site free to the general public, I'm willing to suffer the ADs if it means getting to watch these great reviews. I'm grateful to my friend who introduced me to this, keep up the great work!

 

[Zabadack]

haha awesome.. I had a rant at uni the other day how fallout 3 didn't let me kill the kids and yahtzee has the same opinion!

the kids in question needed to open a door for me to progress... I could see the pulley but it wouldn't let me use it, i needed to get permission from the "mayor" before they'd open it.. I thought "fuck this!" and tried to shoot the little girl protecting the gate, it didn't even upset her!

stupid pretend freedom -.-

 

[Muphin_Mann]

That was my exact thought when my friend told me that you couldn't beat your kids in the game.

You do realize that someone else in the game killed children, right? Why shouldn't you be able to do that as well? That's a double standard, and one standard will do us just fine, sir.

I haven't played fable 2 yet but I also ran into the problem of Not being able to kill the Children in Fallout 3 and frankly I don't see why not. I don't see why killing a shorter NPC is that much worse than all the other morally evil and ambiguous things you can do in both Fable and Fallout so why is this taboo?
I mean come on. I wasn't even able to sell them into slavery though God knows I tried. So please, game designers, let me be as much of an evil douchebag as I possibly can.

I am also providing exhibits B,C and D for you to examine. These ones are all from Pro Childkillers.

It's funny how he tells us that just like the first game, you only need melee one second, then tells us you only need magic the next, and meanwhile, I've played through the whole game just shooting people. The truth about combat is that it's just like the rest of the game: you can do it however you want, and there's no real incentive for anything either way.

 

[Prototype1207]

Actually I was wondering how the dog is around for so long too. I mean the thing looked pretty big when you saved it as a child, and it stays around when you grow old.

About the game... it got pretty boring. big let-down.

 

[NewClassic_v1legacy]

Firstly NewClassic,
Please refrain from talking about a single point of my post, unless you wish to discuss it as a whole. Also if you want to discuss something I post with me please keep the subject matter in hand as "-USER BANNED-" Was only an off topic joke and was not intended to be taken seriously or by any means offend your eyes.

Secondly,
Stop acting as if you?re a forum moderator, you have no jurisdiction over what is posted on these boards and I find your "holier-than-though" Attitude grating.

Thirdly, (and by far not least)
Classing me along side the 4channers for using one line of caps from what was a fully coherent post, are you serious? Well you posted on my comment so that must make you a?-Chooses from random selection- Oh a Nazi!

Well sorry to Yahtzee for going completely off-topic, but some people just get the worst of you sometimes, ya-know?

I do not find myself, nor my actions, moderator-esque. If I did, I would probably be a lot kinder and more patient with the things that irritate me. Because I have no such official requirements, I'm a lot more verbal about things that bother me, the above included. As far as the whole post, I'll do so now.

I am looking forward to a Fallout 3 review by you, but take that with salt my friend. I'm playing through it at the moment and enjoying the experience tremendously so it worries me greatly what you might point out with your perception; ultimately destroying the game for me when the ?Problems? you list manifest to the fore point of my sub conscious. You?re always a bastard when it comes to that haha.

This is the meat of your post, at least what of it that isn't referring directly to Yahtzee. As such, I do not believe Yahtzee himself reads these comments, or if he does, makes no effort to visibly reply, to my knowledge.

As well as the commentary on Fallout 3, I don't believe seeing any review should ultimately affect your gameplay experience. Sometimes you'll notice things you didn't before, but if it makes a game un-enjoyable, then you're probably focusing on the wrong aspects of the game.

No, I made the statement that this forum is not 4chan, I not once said you were a chan-tard. I'm simply saying, posting something like that, even as a tail, is very out of character for these forums.

Apologies for my previous post, but posting further things like this sort of thing will do little more than further offending me.

Give it a rest, everything is extremely violent these days and seeing people die in TV shows, movies and video games is common. Basically video violence isn't the same as blood lust in real life, but it is true there are some crazy people out there that get the wrong idea. Killing a computer kid or dog is not any different to me when I slaughter millions of soldiers who do nothing wrong but defend there country or honor or whatever.

You might as well complain about violence altogether, personally exploding corpses is not needed in games. Just have it like Counter Strike or Perfect Dark, I don't believe you need to get more violent than that.

 

[islo]

The game was was not as good as the first one, magic system sucked, and the people were really annoying. End note Yahtzee was way to nice on this one.

 

[sithlordjesus]

I managed to keep a straight face until the end
"OH WOOK HE'S A PUPPY, MASH HIS WITTLE FACE AND CALL HIM CHIPS!"
Oh, and not sure if you knew Ben Croshaw but if you advance in dextrous styles enough you can choose where to shoot:
Left hand
Right hand
Head hand
and Groin, although I like to call it the "Crotch shot"
and you can rename anyone but main characters, making Bert the crate carrier into Fagalicious Monster... the crate carrier.
Overall though
(spoiler ahead)
it was hilarious to take away Lucien's manhood and watch him fall to his death while I shat myself during the credits, especially at the pictures of people who look insane.

 

[Sarge8806]

That was some funny shit.

 

[guyy]

This one was brutal...Yahzee must be in a bad mood this week. That is, more bad than usual.

Still hilarious, though.

So Peter Molyneux personally contacted you? Sheesh talk about trying to convince everyone he's the shiznit.
