Zero Punctuation: Inversion

[Boguslaw Rymut]

In recent year there was several games based on 'gravity mechanics'.
Gravity Rush is latest example of 'gravity' manipulation as 'new innovative feature'.
It will be nice to hear Yahtzee opinion of some Playstation Vita games, or just playstation vita as a handheld.

So, the game that seemed like it would turn out a bland Gears of War clone that ineffectually borrows mechanics from other (superior) games ended up being just that?

Good to know.

I guess I'll just go play Gears of War again instead. Say about that game what you like, at the very least it does its own shtick well.

It's gotta be Russel Davis. And maybe it's actually about the writer/producer of Torchwood and the whole game is what goes on inside his head.

The twist ending is this.

Oh please don't go there. MovieBob already gave me a headache with that this week.

10PM Pointless Opinion: I don't give a damn I want Planetside?

This has been an excellent evening, I for one love telling people my opinions and find it amusing when people complain that I do; I've been vomiting forth useless text for an hour or so and feel refreshed.

Edit: I don't give a damn about this GAME BTW; I've made a point of avoiding most FPS' that I haven't studied until I know the story, trivia, backstory, serial number and how many different things I can shoot in it. A lesson I learn after playing the painfully average Sniper: Ghost Warrior

 

[MailOrderClone]

I would contend that this gravity-sodomizing cover-based shooter would be vastly improved had it contained the entire cast of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. As it does not, I will not even be giving it a rent.

 

[Evil Smurf]

Are there any Russians? If not INOVATION!! It is a shame I am right though, what is wrong with using the imagination?

 

[Shameless]

OMG I laughed hard at that Fresh Prince reference, it is still one of the best sitcoms ever !

 

[maninahat]

Quiet here today. Everyone off to see the Batman or something?

 

[MB202]

"The world's being invaded, you can always stay home and make another one." you know, I'm getting really sick of Yahtzee's anti-kids jokes. I mean, when the kids are actually annoying in the game or interfere with the experience, I can understand, but basically, he's criticizing a father for being worried about his daughter, and saying "why can't he just make another" is dehumanizing to the point of being beyond unfunny. So, yeah, go ahead, try and poke holes in my logic just because I pointed out something I didn't like about this video.

Well, it's not being anti-kids or dehumanizing to point out how foolish it is to go out and face near certain death to massive invading hordes of murder machines and armed forces for the sole reason of saving any child, even your own, that you don't even know is still alive. Self-preservation is kinda vital for your continued existence. It's why if a plane is going down, you put your own oxygen-mask on first before assisting children. In good writing, this would most likely be the protagonist's tragic flaw, leading to a downfall far greater than had they not pursued the actions dictated by that flaw.

 

[Saltyk]

You know I don't play a lot of shooters, so that's probably why I don't share all the hate for them. I'm not even against cover based mechanics. I must be sheltered.

Oh, Fresh Prince reference! That actually made me burst out laughing. Good show!

[sub]I'm suddenly wondering if there's a place where I can watch those old episodes.[/sub]

 

[FallenMessiah88]

For some reason this game really reminds me of Quantum Theory and that is not a good thing.

 

[Yeager942]

I really want to see Yahtzee spend an episode reviewing some indie horror like Slender or Cry of Fear.

 

[telecaster24]

I kept thinking of Russell T. Davies, writer/producer Torchwood and the Doctor Who revival.
I haven't played Inversion, but I remember thinking the concept sounded fun. Now I know that it's not. Thanks again, Yahtzee, as you have saved me money and disappointment.
Also, I think we need a "Shit's Fucked" t-shirt of Yahtzee being chased by the Nazi velociraptors.

DOUBLE HYPER END SPOILER:

Spoiler

The ship the dome is on is the Eldridge.

 

[Yopaz]

Fresh Prince is timeless!

Hmmm..Prince of Bel-Air: Sands of Time.

Sorry, trying to think of something better than a boilerplate shooter.

Are you talking about this?

Yeah, I liked the dated reference too.

OT: The only thing I used to find interesting about this game was the box art. After this review that is still the only thing I find interesting about this game...

 

[Pink Gregory]

The only thing I'd ever seen about this game was the cover art. I guess it was one of those games that the publisher was embarrassed by. Who was the publisher anyway? And no, I'm not going to Google it, because I don't really care.

Gotta say, I've seen NO press for this game AT ALL, that's gotta be suicide for a physical release.

 

[MonkeyPunch]

Really funny episode. The first couple of minutes had me in tears.

 

[MrCalavera_v1legacy]

I still think that he chose that game only to make a "Fresh Prince..." reference.
