Zero Punctuation: Hunted: The Demon's Forge

[Distorted Stu]

Dammit its been 13 minutes since Duke was out! Wheres the review?!

 

[Micalas]

I'm pleased that the mcguffin in the review was a delicious cadbury egg. I would go thru mezzanine mazes for cadbury eggs.

I'm surprised Yahtzee has to explain that games that came out a day ago can't be reviewed. I thought everyone would've figured that out by now...

It was released in the EU and Australia on the 10th. It only came out yesterday in the US.

Okay. I'm surprised A) The game came out in australia at all really.
B) I'm surprised people expect him to review games he's had less than a week to do.

A. I know, right? Not only is it odd they got if first, but that they got it at all.
B. Is he not a dirty australian monkey man who should dance for our pleasure as he suggested in his Guitar Hero/Rock Band review?

CAPTCHA: your mistem. What about my mistem?

 

[Mr. Omega]

I bet that first boss fight really bugged you, eh Yahtzee?

<color=red>What, Did you think I was gone forever?

Ah, I missed the puns...

OT: Yeah, never was into dungeon crawlers, and this game seems like it took the worst parts of the genre and then put in the worst parts of co-op gameplay...

 

[Hungry Donner]

Given the hilarity of his first DNF review I suspect Yahtzee will need to take some time putting together his second one.

 

[KreacherOfbloodandRank]

So Yahtzee... when ya doing Duke Nukem forever *trollface*

 

[Llamazoid]

Currently playing Hunted the Demons Forge with a friend and I agree it's a dreary single player experience but with a friend I found it pretty enjoyable. It definitely has its faults, it's not the most pleasant game to look at, the combat and control's are clunky and whoever thought it was a good idea to have limited potions and shields that break from two hits needs slapped across the face. None the less I'm still enjoying it, it's consuming enough time to stop me hoping for another good gaming experience to release this year.

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

...who expected him to review DNF today? I didn't. But I guess not everyone IS familiar with his schedule.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

Funny review and spot on review.The game really felt like medieval Gears of war with all the covering I had to do while playing the elf.

I haven't laughed so much in quite a few days so thank you for that.

 

[head desk tricycle]

Most game narratives need to constantly drag around player characters like so much dead weight, and constantly feed them basic facts about their own world, so right off the bat they make the player character worthless in almost every way. And Fashionably Late Syndrome somehow manages to make the player character even more worthless.

 

[baker80]

I tried it. It's literally every bit as bad as Yahtzee says.

So Yahtzee... when ya doing Duke Nukem forever *trollface*

No point most reviews already say it sucks he might as well do inFamous.

 

[MatsVS]

Every time Yahtzee dislikes a game, I just assumes that it was too difficult or complicated for him, so he resolves to merely fling petulant, misogynistic insults at it in a sad attempt to validate is own inability to not be a leaky teat.

Nooo don't blow up my RSX! Oh wait, mine's a type S. We're cool.

 

[Right Hook]

Sorry Yahtzee but really do need you to tear Duke a new asshole...make that arsehole.

 

[idarkphoenixi]

I think 90% of us were expecting Duke Nukem Forever, but I can understand if there wasn't enough time to make a video review. Maybe next week!

 

[Thespian]

N'aww, I had my eye on that game. I'd have bought it if I had someone else willing to Co-Op it with me. (They didn't want the game I'm not.. just a loner >_>)

I'll probably still get it from the bargain bin some day.

Oh, and, obligatory Where's-Duke-Nukem-Hurr-Hurr-I'm-the-first-person-to-think-of-this-I-bet joke.

 

[MobiusZwei]

I got this game and played it with a friend, we had a lot of fun, I think all the hate the game is getting is over-done.

I see what you did there.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Snip

Trust me when I say nobody is enjoying seeing Duke Nukem Forever not only being a massiver dissapointment but being taken one huge dump all over our faces.

 

[cmdrmonkey]

Yeah who cares about this game. I like everyone else just want to hear him rip on that godawful piece of crap Duke Nukem Forever. Endlessly delayed to the point of irrelevance with dated graphics, terrible gameplay, and unfunny rape and poop themed humor, DNF is a textbook example of how not to make a game.
