Zero Punctuation: Haze

[kyouger]

I hope to see him do a Ninja Gaiden 2 video soon, and maybe after that an MGS4. I haven't heard him talk much about the MGS series, so it'll be cool to see his outlook on it.

An nice review, could have been a little longer though. The only thing that kept me remotely interested in the progress of this game (Even though I don't have a PS3 and don't plan on getting one, which also means I want to see Ryu before Snake) was the druggie factor. It would have made it at least stand out if only for a moment in the FPS market. Shame it didn't last past the halfway mark, which was kind of stupid if you think about it.

Oh well. Just another FPS lost in the wind.
Kyouger.

At a guess next Wednesday

I've always made that point about having cake and eating it too. The phrase sort of implies that you could eat the cake without having it.

Get over yourself, there's no 'Casablanca' or 'The Godfather' yet in games. It's not hard to point out the flaws in a medium that relies on the unrealistic.

Unfortunately, this is no longer true in a literal sense.

Another good review. I haven't play (Or will I, no PS3) Haze, but as a big internet nerd the games been crammed down everybody's face for the last few years. Its funny in many ways to see it fall on its over confident face. If only those devs spent a little more time on the game and a little less on throwing out teasers to the game-staved PS3 owners.

Love to see an Age of Conan review, its got so many flaws and not nearly enough reviews, just a bunch of "Its so pretty!" garbage.

Great review, also i picked up on the Evangelion reference.
Anyway, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Ninja Gaiden 2 have both come out here.
Though they came out the week he was in NYC. I don't think he could've played AND made a review about either on such short notice.

I am horrified! Why are the movies blocked from temporary the internet files!? WTF? This is disgusting! I used to download all the movies and store them on my laptop at home (you know, because they're awsome) but now I find they no longer appear in the temp. internet files! I have dial-up at home so I can only watch them at college ... not happy, am saddened by this turn of events. So much for collecting the movies. Is there ANYWAY to download them?

To me this just seems a revolting move by the escaptistmagazine to draw more people to the site ... I 'HAD' respect, all I can say is that, well ... disapointed.

I was going to buy Haze, now it doesnt look so good lol

 

[Meagdoomer]

I Can't find anywhere better to say this;

STOP adding previews to other things at the end of clips, If I wanted to watch it I WOULD FUCKING WATCH IT!

 

[I have a God complex]

It was a very funny review, I don't know why yahtzee hates halo so much but other than that it was great

 

[FMC Crusade]

Yea, Halo is a great game, maybe because of Campaign, it was shorter and the marine's were dumb, they hardly did anything except get in your way.

Um, you did notice it comes AFTER the review, right? You can just rewind it or close the window if you don't care for it.

About that cake comment... It dosen't make sense, does it? I have always assumed that it originaly went "you can't HALVE (not have) your cake and eat it to" reffering to the notion that if Mom tells you to share with your brother, you cut the cake in half, and he picks which slice he wants. The benifit that you can't have is halving the cake and picking which slice you wanted (the bigger, right?) Thats the only way I can make that cliche work for me.

I think it means that you can't eat a cake that you have and still expect to have a cake afterwards.

 

[Stelman257]

The phrase "To have ones cake and eat it" isn't a literal term. Its a metaphor.
There are a few uses for it but basically its telling you not to be a greedy bastered.
Although in a literal sense this phrase makes no sense what so ever. It is very resonable to eat a cake you already have. (or hide in it if your a stripper, thanks Yahtzee).

Another Enjoyable time presented by Yahtzee, Yee Haw!
However, Much to my dismay...Some people decided to be lemmings and just go with the flow.

Why should what one person says prevent you from getting the game? Like seriously, are you that inept that you can't make a decision on you own? That you can't trust your own judgment?
No, you don't have to go out and buy the game instantly, however, you could show some form of self thinking and RENT THE GAME!

If you rent the game, play it for the weekend, and enjoy it, why not go buy it?
I'm sure you have had the experience that 'Hey! Why is Yahtzee saying this game sucks when I love it so much!' The point here being; Everyone has their own opinions on games. Reviews are just someones opinion. Yahtzee cannot speak for everyone, he is his own person pointing out things he sees as flaws.

"Personally I think it's a bit naive to think it would take anything as drastic as a mood-altering drug to make army recruits act like juvenile fuckwits"

Of course not, playing Halo is all it takes!

 

[ZippyDSMlee]

Playing Turok on PC right now its a very paint by numbers generic FPS with some barely fun weapon designs, what I hate most abotu it besides the fantasy-less bland story/characters and magical regeneration ability is the crappy modern corridor shooter level designs.....

Alpha prime is better than Haze...at least the drug worked

 

[Alstan]

Love the Cornetto reference, it remains me the films "Shaun of the dead" and "Hot Fuzz" lol
