Zero Punctuation: Infamous 2

[Rayansaki]

Wow, that has to be the most favorable review I've seen Yahtzee do.

Except the one for Portal. But yeah I was quite surprised he actually liked it.

Why would you be? It doesn't have any of the kind of stuff he usually whines about (except for the karma system), it improves significantly over the first game, it doesn't copy paste content, and it has a great ending, not a sequel hungry one. I'd be surprised if he didn't like it.

Why do game give stupidly generic names to enemies, cities and whatnot? Could they really not come up with a better name than "The Militia"? How about "Team Gonad"?

It's a comic book styled game so it fits.

Since he's favorable of this game, I really want this game now..

...which makes it harder for me to hold out for Ico Shadow of the Collosus and Uncharted 3 for this year..

Call me immature, but my goodness I loled at "or you can fuck a cow"

you're immature. But then I laughed out loud as well.

call me immature

Wasn't this supposed to be the 200th episode?

WOW! Has he really reached the 200 mark? I know it is my own fault for not keeping track, but still I am very impressed!

 

[Xman490]

I think this is going to be his pick for game of the year.

Depends on how good Saint's Row 3 is

Considering the gameplay trailer (can be seen on YouTube despite having age restrictions for offensive dildo wielding) that only mentions one gameplay style (wrecking the city in over-the-top ways like a car that shoots people it sucks up as carnival music plays), it sounds like quite a contender for the #1 spot.

Very nice to see Yahtzee actually appreciate a game for a change instead of just shitting on it.

Wow, that has to be the most favorable review I've seen Yahtzee do.
I kept waiting for the big turd covered other shoe to drop and the worst it gets is that the moral choice system still sucks, (s shoe just not turd covered).

Not the first time he did this, either. I seem to recall about the original Prince of Persia game where all he had was basically nitpicking and not much else. A good game gets nitpicked, a bad game gets shred to pieces. That's pretty much Yahtzee's M.O., IMHO.

Also, LOVE what the imp did at the end credit. If Cole has so much power over electricity, why couldn't the villain just suit up in rubber/insulator suits and blast the fucker in the head? XD

 

[Scorekeeper]

Yahtzee, why are you speaking slowly?

 

[Worr Monger]

It's good to see him actually like the majority of a game for a change some times. It's still funny.

I still need to play Infamous....

 

[Pegghead]

Kinda disappointed he didn't notice the achievement that's really a homage/reference to his review of Infamous 1.

Which tropy is that?

"Health points like gamer girls have daddy issues"...LOL, so true about the ones who are all "I'm a girl, did I mention I'm a girl?".

 

[Zetsubou^-^]

so cole auto wins this bout with prototype because he got his game out first? i bet yahtzee wanted to see them do that dress stunt again XD

it is interesting that yahtzee gave it such a seemingly good review despite the "moral choice-but not really" mechanic. i guess it really must have some merit.

[elitestranger1]

[Macrobstar]

The good ending made me straight up cry

Infamous 2

This week, Zero Punctuation reviews Infamous 2

Watch Video

... well that's odd! What was that bit about a Romanian judge @4:35 all about?
I'm asking because I honestly couldn't make any heads or tails of it ...and I'm Romanian!

Also, this has to be THE most lenient review I have seen in a long while, and following the one from Duke Nukem Forever... GREAT SCOTT Yahtzee! I hope you're not going Soft on us.

 

[dyre]

good God, that was an extraordinarily positive review

gonna get this game, when I was originally not planning to try it at all

 

[CrawlingPastaHellion]

Best one he's done in ages. I would play that game if I were a console freak, but as we all know it I'm an honest citizen of "The Ultimate PC Master Nation", i.e. "The Fourth Reich".

 

[Redem]

I wish infamous was on xbox360

wait the city called new marais...do they know it mean it mean new swamp

 

[Wado Rhyu]

a third morel stand point must be introduced and its called i don't give a f*ck. you will be realy good at this if you choise good or bad randomly ( basicly a "grey" char ). but the powers must be a little more weaker then truely good or evil.

 

[NKnight]

He liked a sequel, let's pop the champagne. First bottle is mine.

Now I feel like playing it.
