I didn't realize that he had a South African accent at first so I thought Yahtzee was mocking us (as if he doesn't already do that). It made it hard to hear but oh well.
Okay, had to register to say this:
I am stunned by the number of people here who failed to realise that Ben was doing a South African accent. It wasn't an "aussie/aboriginal" or a "new zealand" or a british accent. The game is set in SOUTH AFRICA. This is made very clear in his review and works really well for laughs.
I'm curious to know if the accent confusion is coming from U.S. viewers. I know you guys have a hard time recognising accents, which is why your films with "foreigners" always sound ridiculous. Or worse, you simply use American accents for other nationalities. Good recent example: am I supposed to believe Tom Cruise is GERMAN in Valkyrie? Bloody stupid.
/rant.

I dunno...it sounds like he tried to hard to make an accent stand out. Well, that worked. It stood out, and made me think he had a cold or something. He sounded really off.Khada said:holy shit the accent was funny.... sounds a bit Australian
Glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks his accent is changing a bit. I mean, just a matter of time when you live in a foreign country anyway, isn't it, and you hear it every day? I want to go to Dublin now and pick up an Irish lilt.
He's spot on as usual. I really enjoyed the game for the first few hours, but ran out of enthusiasm long before the game ran out of samey missions. Apparently I should trade it in towards Saints Row 2.
Also, South Africans have the strangest accents of any English speaking people in the world, or at least the ones who speak English do.

He was spot on on the repetitiveness, but hell, i can't help it, the game was goddamn fun. Gorgeous huge world, kickass weapons (AS50, eye sex) and lots of things to riddle with bullets. Now, this description might put me off as a "casual" gamer looking for no consistency, narrative or complexity. But, by god, it's fun to unwind once in a while and just KILL shit.
Nice accent, although its too close to his actual way of speaking for the maximum funny to insue.
