Nintendo loves confusing the shit out of its consumers. Check DIS fuggin' shyit out!Iampringles said:Funniest ZP in a long time.
I would have thought the protagonist would have been called Icarus, given the title of the game...
Interesting. Last time I checked, gorgons were ugly as fuck. Apparently, Nintendo doesn't know as much about Greek mythology as they would like us to think.totally heterosexual said:Medusa is really fappable now though.

Just from my experience, I can stand up straight whilst walking and I can play the game easily. Left thumb on the circley-thingy, left index finger on the trigger, right hand holding the stylus.
How come this is so difficult for everyone?
It's a game about a fucking kid flying, shooting light arrows from 2 swords and having pistols. Where do you see them even trying to be close to Greek mythology. They only used it as a starting point, nothing more.samaugsch said:Interesting. Last time I checked, gorgons were ugly as fuck.

Spoilers: She does get pretty ugly during the boss fight but the boobage still makes it bearable if you have a bag at hand.samaugsch said:Interesting. Last time I checked, gorgons were ugly as fuck.

Except for the fact that he doesn't hate Metroid prime he hates Other M and IMO anyone who has any level of taste hated Other M. He also doesn't hate Zelda he hated skyward sword, from passing mentions he seems rather fond of Wind Waker. On top of that he spent the first minute or so of the review talking about how he liked the GameCube and the original DS, but no because he had the nerve to not like a game you enjoyed it is so very obvious that he is biased.Anoni Mus said:Yahtzee is not anti Nintendo, he just hates Kid Icarus, Zelda, Metroid Prime M and Brawl. Just coincidence! Of course not, doesn't matter what he says he's biased whether he believes it or not.
I would love to see that, because it is way to JRPG for there to be any chance of him liking it, and the insane amount rage that would be generated by a negative review of Xenoblade would probably be enough to tear a hole in reality.hurricanejbb said:Yahtzee, I'm telling you, if you want a REALLY good game on a Nintendo console, you have to play Xenoblade Chronicles.
The problem lies in delivery. With most games, he'll rip them to shreds, but compliment one or two points where things were good. But with pretty much any Nintendo game he's reviewed as of lately, all he does is shit. Maybe if he stayed consistent, he wouldn't come off as biased. I mean, games he's hated with a passion even got the mention of the one or two things that he did find "not shit", but if it's Nintendo, it's nothing but a steaming pile.Spot1990 said:He hates almost everything regardless of publisher. I'll never understand why Nintendo fanboys get so worked up, he does the same thing to Nintendo games that he does to almost every game. Besides it's not like he's unwilling to admit when he is biased, like his hatred for JRPGs.Anoni Mus said:The video isn't working for me, I think I'm glad. It doesn't like it's worth it.Lordofthesuplex said:I was afraid of this. Why did I let my curiosity get the better of me and break my "no Nintendo related reviews" policy w/ Yahtzee and watch this simply because it's one of the best games Nintendo released this year. Okay I'm gonna do this commetary style and go over every single problem I find with Yahtzee's shallow bullcrap. But just prove I'm not heartless, I'll list his good points as well.
Problems:
problem 1. Stop judging the 3DS on the 3D alone. Some of us know the thing is a gimmick but bought it for other reasons. That and Uprising's 3D is actually good.
problem 2. Wow. Way to over-exaggerate the controls there. I rarely get cramps from the game. I have more problems with it being to easy to dash and accidentally falling off narrow platforms, not something as simple as aiming. And I don't even use the stand. Also, you complaining about how you like to lay on a couch and play DS? OK 1, that's your petty problem, not Nintendo's and 2, even I can't do that.
problem 3. So, you're complaining about a game having too much stuff to do now? That's the kind of ungrateful behavior that makes me hate the fighting game community.
problem 4. Visuals too busy to look at? Dude, I don't have the best attention span and even I don't have this problem in all but 3 levels. Perhaps you need too stop drinking all the beer at that pretentious bar of yours.
good point 1. Yeah the dialog is pretty corny at points. But I've heard worse.
good point 2. See now the dashing over the edge thing? That's a legit complaint.
Really not as downright hateful as I thought it would be but still, I love how you claim you aren't biased against Nintendo, just willing to point out the company's flaws even though almost all the time you point out said flaws its nothing more than trivial ***** fitting and/or bullcrap, Yahtzee.
About the dialogue, I always took it lightly, almost satirical, so I didn't mind and found it funny.
Yahtzee is not anti Nintendo, he just hates Kid Icarus, Zelda, Metroid Prime M and Brawl. Just coincidence! Of course not, doesn't matter what he says he's biased whether he believes it or not.
Hey, guess what? I just reset my controls to just that. (well, except that I put aiming on ABXY, because putting aim and move on the same thing just doesn't work, since half the game isn't a rail shooter. Also, there is no jump button in this game.)dessertmonkeyjk said:There's got to be a better way of handling a one stick character movement with a fire button for a 3D rail shooter. Hmm...
Left Stick: Move & Aim
Left Shoulder Button (Ground): Hold to Target Strafe/Tap to recenter camera
Right Shoulder Button: Shoot
A: Jump/Special
Only thing more immature than hating things because it's cool is thinking anyone who hates things you like is hating it because it's cool.BiH-Kira said:Because people are lazy and hating Nintendo is cool.CXZ_inc0g said:I still don't understand what people are going on about when they whine about the controls, though.

Welcome to the interwebz.
Your exaggeration of what yahtzee said is much greater than the exaggerations he made that you're criticizing. Also, I like how hating anything is "crying" now. Fucking annoying. Your post is much more of a "welcome to the interwebz" than anything else I've seen in this threadAnd you know what the worst part is? The controls can be changed as much as you like to whatever you like. So there is NO excuse to cry about them. It's one thing to say controls are bad, but are adjustable, but it's another thing to cry about them, trow crap all around your self and say the world is doomed like Yahtzee likes to do.
I don't know what planet you live on where most people end up changing the controls for most of their games. I don't remember the last time I had to change controls for anything besides inverted camera, mouse sensitivity, and LoL smartcasting (and I wish riot would make that easier too)They can go into the menu and change everything in every game, but when it's Nintendo game, they QQ like little brats because they have to do the same thing they did in any other game.
I don't if those accusations stay around for long enough. Also, him raving at viewers is a pretty big part of his appeal if you ask me.One more thing. If you need 1 minute to explain how you're not against Nintendo, there is something wrong. When I'm accused about something I'm not, I simply ignore those accusations. Especially if it's over the internet.

Seriously, think about it.
...Really?Skulltaker101 said:Damn, Zero Punctuation is my favourite weekly ritual. Of course, since I do not own a DS, this may make it quite difficult for me to play Kid Icarus at all.
And as for "Go look up if there were angels in Greek mythology"...yes, yes there were. There were servants of Athena called Furies from whom the Christian church nicked the image...winged bright beings, but in the case of the Furies, they were more vengeful and murderous than they were anything else.
I truly hope your conclusion wasn't based on Yahtzee's "review" at all, because a lot of his rant was just uselessly bitching about a piece of plastic that nobody uses.CM156 said:Iampringles said:I would have thought the protagonist would have been called Icarus, given the title of the game...

Then again, why give a legitimate review when you can nitpick and stretch tiny ass facts so they can pad the length of your video? I'd sure love a job where I can basically rant and lie through my teeth, yet remain inexplicably popular despite it.
