Zero Punctuation: LEGO Indy

[CodeChrono]

I love the new introduction. It's very professional, and I like it a lot.

The review was fun and witty. Your humor seems to be finding new outlets during your reviews, and I'm enjoying seeing that!

 

[Sacman]

The Funniest one sense crysis in my opinon but the old beginning was mucho better.

 

[gamegod25]

Sorry but I don't like the new style. I can't really explain why, it just feels wrong. Anyway keep up the good work with the reviews.

 

[FelNarRj]

good one , i love the music selections but i must say i really like the intro, no bad at all... so the intro music is going to change every week?

BTW... LOL at the review of the Movie

lol i still hate the lego games lame

 

[Ian Dorsch]

The tune Ian Dorsch did sounds less like "classic rock" to me, and more like "death-metal-wannabe tripe." To quote the great Rupert Giles, "Music has notes. This is noise." But maybe that's just me being a snob.

Well, the "wannabe tripe" part is subjective, and you're welcome to your opinion on that, but in no way does the music fall under the stylistic umbrella of "death metal."

Even calling it metal at all is kind of pushing it. You might more successfully call it "hard-rock-wannabe tripe," for instance.

arrgh
I had flashes of Wayne's World after it got sponsored.

Yes, this is exactly the description I was looking for. That or when South Park took the piss out of long running shows rocking up their theme music and intros for new series' in a similar way.

Sorry Yahtzee and crew; even if you would have done it this way from the start if you could, the current approach is making a big dent in the show's originality and personality. By all means use an intro or something, but a better one. Pick one of those songs by the Portal guy. I hear he does one a week.

I thought the part where Ben did the silent of himself a little more humorous then the review.

Even calling it metal at all is kind of pushing it. You might want to call it "hard-rock-wannabe tripe," for instance.

Oops. Sorry, I should have researched that classification a bit more carefully. ^_^;

Oh Christ, are you people really that much of of a mindless consumer with cranial intrusion that you don't manage to press the stop button when the clip is over? "Oh no, there is one minute remaining, I have to watch it all and then follow the other lemmings over the next cliff after I posted another pointless Please-no-more-Ads-Whining."

That said, I like the intro and would totally buy Sitckle Bricks Babylon 5 as the mindless consumer with cranial intrusion I am.

LOL

+1

I like the review. I agree with most of the points

About the presentation: I like it! The new intro feels more professional with that crazy mettalic theme.

But, i dunno, the end feels more empty, you know, in the part of the messages, the music of the choice added more comedy with the characters doing something acordding to the review.

Well. At least you have your style intact

 

[onikaze]

Funny, because while we agree about the intro, I tend to agree with Roger Ebert's assessment of Reality Bites: Winona Ryder's character is a talentless hack and needs to be told such, what's done to her footage when Ben Stiller's character gets his hands on it is an improvement, as much as the footage can be improved.
Moving on . . .

WOW
I was wondering if anyone would call me on that one and mention Ebert's review. I applaud you sir.

I guess we could make it a weekly thing and post what song would have been a good opener on future eps.

 

[mephidrossxx]

Thank you Yahtzee really at last a honest but at the same time funny review of this game.

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

TOO MUCH CHANGE! *watches "The Darkness review to prevent brain implosion"* "Ripping off Copyrighted Music"? He gave credit >_> Maybe he pirated it or something, I dunno.

Whatever, if we have no say in the new intro then I'll live with it but that's not going to stop me from liking the old ones more.

As for the review, I don't know if it's fair, unfair, dishonest, brutally honest, whatever, it's a LEGO game - he can rant all he wants. The visual jokes in this one are pure win though.

EDIT: I'm glad to see I'm not the only one here who thinks that the "Hard Rock" doesn't fit at all. I was hesitant to comment but I don't care if the "music is good or bad" - it just has to fit with the videos - it's not like De-Rez plays emo music when it starts up.

 

[Obeliskos]

Right on review. I do miss the music selections, but I'm sure I can easily adapt. I'll probably be cool with this by the next episode.

Well done on the Crystal Skull review. The ability to get your opinion across with hand gestures is quite a talent. Well done, good sir.

 

[Isaac Dodgson]

Yeah...I kinda miss him "ripping off" other songs whose titles or subject matter related back to the game being reviewed. It added another level of wit to the whole thing. Yeah, i'm not really a fan of the new intro, I mean it's not bad, it's actually very well done, but it doesn't seem to fit I suppose...But hey, I'm entitled to my opinion just as everyone else here is, and just as Yahtzee is entitled to his opinion, to even read any of these responses or will us all subconsciously to piss off and die if he really wants to...

In the end, this all meaningless anyhow.

 

[Daymo]

I like the new intro movie but you should still try and use copyrighted music.

 

[p1ne]

Awesome review, just as good as ever. Enjoyed the heck out of it. New theme music takes away some of ZP's uniqueness that I love so much though.

 

[EasternBlackCat]

Yay Yatzee! I really enjoy this stuff and this new review's funny even though I've never been intrested in this title.

The new intro is nice, but (like almost everyone else) I'm going to miss the old version. The songs were always so appropriate and I got a laugh out of the intro song for Bioshock. I can understand the switch though.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080709/sc_afp/sciencearchaeologyentertainmentfilmskull well, Indiana Jones movie fails for another reason I guess

 

[Ptrack_Git]

OK first off to everybody out there Lego Indy is NOT better than MGS4, MGS is about the experience, which it had in spades (IMAO)and was totally rad, plus for those of you who like online gaming MGO is very cool. Sorry I know I am a total douchebag for bringing that one up again.
Good review, entertaining as always, lots of lols. New intro and outro is rather flashy, I kind of miss the simplicity of the old style plus the custom songs, but at least we got a decent amount of content this time (nothing like waiting a week for a 3 min. video)

I like the hard rock music, I think it fits fine, because it is cool like the reviews...
