Zero Punctuation: inFamous

hahaha his health bar is a 6 foot mars bar and your diabetic, that was an awesome analagy.
Easily his best review by miles, cracked me up and made some solid points, GJ Ben.

and the Bam off world slavery bit also got me.

Great review. I got the game the day it came out and I agree with the review. It's so much fun to play.

Review Prototype next!

...well I'll probably get that when it comes out too. Looks like fun.

Nice review.

I think the game excels at being a sandbox game because it never really forces you to repeat things or take long quests. Most missions are nice, short and varied which make them a joy to complete and never get on your tits. GTA 4 showed how to fuck up this aspect, always making you drive around endlessly while repeating missions.

I find it a bit bland but the pacing is awesome. It's a game that is designed to be a game:
Short, mindless fun.

It appears that the new front-page layout has prevented the usual "LAWL IZ 1ST COMMENT LOOK AT ME MOM!" So, if nothing else, it's accomplished that.

"It's like his health meter is a six foot Mars bar and you're a diabetic." It does look like a cool game, but alas I don't have a PS3 and have no intent on buying one.

Just get Prototype instead pretty much the same thing except better

Damnit Yahtzee, now I'll HAVE to buy that game BEFORE Overlord II...

 

[LazyAza]

You know what would be awesome, a sandbox game with no plot whatsoever, no missions and a damn decent character customization system all of which would let me do whatever the fuck I want and have a damn good time doing it.

Prototype just came out today

Ha-ha, another anti-Republican joke for all the little leftist Escapists.

It's getting old, Yahtzee. It soured the review for me.

The truth never gets old.

...

If you're playing along and making a joke too, I can respect that.

If you seriously believe it, then I feel sorry for you.

The good/evil system really did fail. My idea would be a good/evil system were when you have a chance to upgrade the upgrades that are of the opposite nature (as in evil when you are good) will be more expensive or cheaper based on how good or evil you are. I.e. if you wanted to buy the orphan killing-kitten eating move it would only cost you 100 points if you were completely evil, 200 points if you were neutral and 300 points if you were an absolute saint.

nice review

 

[WolfmanNougat]

Trust Yahtzee to find something dreadful in a game that other reviewers have thrown roses aplenty to.

Also to answer the end credits question: I'm not sure it's worth pondering.

 

[katsabas]

Oh my god he loves the game. I thought he was was going to crucify it. Best quote this far: ELECTRO ***** FASCIST STATE! I got floored. I knew he was gonna complain about the karma system but hey, noone is perfect.

[Insanum]

Epic win!

If they are handing out superpowers at random...let me know

 

[Artorius]

"cause truly evil person will act all high and bening and when you least expect it CLAP world slavery"xP....

 

[randommaster]

I am suprised that nobody posted beforee watching the video this time, or at least wern't obvious about it.

 

[Socdk]

Where's the shrine so I can fucking worship you?

 

[bartholen_v1legacy]

Naaaaah, I would so much want to laugh at this, but only the giant super-robots built by psychic hobos and "Save kitten OR cannibalise youths" are now in my mind.

Adn WTF? He actually liked it? Grrr, more reason for me to mourn not having enough money to buy a PS3 and inFAMOUS.

Actually it was even closer to his dream of a perfect sandbox game than Saints row 2.

Review was a bit tame this time, but I agree so much with all of it I don't care.
It cannot be said enough these retarded morality systems in games can fuck off.

Who started this stupid trend anyway? Was it Molyneux with Fable?
