Zero Punctuation: LEGO Indy

[Magnetic2]

Rock n Roll Yahtzee, Rock n Roll.

Seems we have taken a turn on to cynical.ave, and are approaching it's capital. This review had more blood, guts, and relentless jabs than any other review. I wonder if this trend will continue? If it dose then some people will be turned off by the fact.

 

[Magnetic2]

Holy shit! Last game I'd expect.

Edit:
I feel compelled to say something about the new intro but to spare us all the time I'll just replace it with this box: [OBLIGATORY WHINE HERE -- AS IF ANYONE ACTUALLY CARES ANYWAY]
The itself review is, as said, good as ever; even though I just don't get why people dislike Kingdom of the Crystal Skull so much (I mean the worst is by far Temple of Doom).
Keep it up, and start using copyrighted music again.

You sir, are a hero.

I too miss the old music... that isn't to say that the new music and intro style aren't great (they are), but I sorta miss that nostalgia associated with the old way. Ah well, it might grow on me.

As for the actual review, much better than the last one. I guess this shows that it's always better to get Yahtzee to review a game he likes, instead of a game we want him to review, or something else.

What. The songs are gone. There was a review, but I was too busy noticing that the SONGS WERE GONE. Dx Seriously though, great review. I may yet buy the game, having the small brain capacity needed to enjoy Lego Star Wars.

Nice work Yahtzee, but I'm not crazy about the new intro style...I miss the music selections.

Same, old music was better

Just a funny picture from one of my favourite artists...

I didn't expect much from LucasArts anyway. As soon as Schafer left, they stopped creating and just sucked already deceased franchises dry (e.g. Star Wars, Indiana Jones).

And then they make LEGO versions of the game. True, I should try it for myself, but I really don't expect mach from that either.

And as for the new Intro...

It's not like he's selling out. True, I preferred the old music selections, but so long as his reviews are still good (Funny, non-endorsed), I will personally accept it.

 

[Altorin]

my only complaint is the intro

I really liked the subtly on topic retro music and the simplicity of just seeing yahtzee holding a controller with a look of hopeful confusion.

Other then the godawful intro, the episode was primo-perfect. Better then the last couple of weeks

Keep them just like this, only lose the intro, which I HOPE was only a market test, because it failed with me abjectly

 

[Lord Krunk]

The new music actively offends me.

How about some nice elevator music, Yahtzee? I always find that calming.

*starts humming "Girl From Ipanema*

"And all the guys go 'Ahh!'"

I think that's how it went. I know there's some guys going 'Ahh!' in there anyway.\

As for elevator music, I can't see Yahtzee doing that. Just think about it...

 

[sky14kemea]

watched it again and this time i saw the movie bit at the end
that really made me laugh XD i feel the same way too
forgot to mention earlier, i think your new intro rocks!
edit: that is a sweet hat XDD

I really like this observation. QFT.

The new intro music pretty much is elevator music: Lame, flavorless, generic.

 

[13lademaster]

Yahtzee, this isn't where you jump the shark.

This is where you nuke the fridge.

But yeah, I'm not feeling the new intro. What may seem "professional" to you just feels kind of generic and uninspired to me.

 

[Deadwings]

Don't overproduce it Yahtzee - your unpretentious simplicity is your claim to fame.

THIS.

 

[Donkeyboy]

I am so glad of a return to the norm after the controversy of last weeks episode. I laughed my arse off at this one, especially 'Stickle-Bricks Babylon 5'
Brilliant

P.S: Not loving the new intro, what happened to the retro music we normally get? For this one you could have used 'Indiana' by Meg and Dia or 'Doctor Jones' by AQUA.

 

[rougeknife]

Chalk up another H3ter of the new intro, it just doesn't suit ZP.

EDIT: On a side note, good review.

 

[asdaa]

Whine whine new intro sucks whine

 

[crimped]

bawahahahahahahahahh ah ha ha ha haaaa funny

 

[Pebsy]

The new intro isnt bad, but i think you should also keep the music selections, for say the ending. Personally i like the new intro but i miss the old music selections. What happened, did Yahtzee run out of songs? ^^

 

[Random Argument Man]

Sheesh you guys are closed-minded for an intro.....
I liked it. The review, I didnt mind the intro, I thought it was something new to try.

 

[zoozilla]

I didn't expect a "positive" review at all. I mean, it's so shallow! Sure, it's for kids, but I bet even kids would find themselves dozing off after hours of mashing the x button while running around while the game practically screams in your ear what to do next.

The intro was kind of cool, but can we change the music, please? Maybe it's just me, but hard rock doesn't really mesh with ZP, in my opinion. Maybe other people like to headbang to Yahtzee's review, but whatever, I'll get used to it.
