Another game with another evil corporation, find it weird that despite living in a capitalist society we always paint corporations as evil in our fiction, are most writers secretly communists?
When Yahtzee said that it was a "Prequel" I immediately sighed, walked over to my bed and face palmed.
I actually had fun with a friend in Lost Planet 2 and I hope that they would make 3 better.
But it seems that making it a prequel ruined it ... well not just that, they fucked it all up.
I don't know but I am really hating that many people make prequels or reboots this day.
It feels like they are trying to recycle ideas or use thing that make people go "OH, I KNOW THAT, THATS FROM- etc, etc" (Im looking at you Prometheus!).
So yeah, recently I just really dislike prequels.
Sure some are damn great, but to me most are damn shite.
I'm glad Yahtzee gave this a Dead Space signature stomp just like TotalBiscuit.

I'm surprised you were so... relatively kind to the first Lost Planet, because I consider it one of the worst shooters I've played. You get knocked around like crazy and it's impossible to see through all the smoke that billows up everywhere. The story was terrible, with boring characters and a plot that made no sense whatsoever. After playing it, I stubbornly refused to play any Lost Planet games ever again.
Though I will admit fighting a giant spider while riding in a giant robot was pretty awesome.

I suppose it's indicative of this series' overall mediocrity that I've never displayed so much as curiosity towards one of these games. I've never moved past reading the synopsis. I can't really explain it, it's just one of those franchises that seems empty even from the outside. Goodness knows what it would feel like to actually play.
If you need Determination to f*ck a couch, then that couch is a terrible lay and youre better off cfinding another.
Weird i just realized paying for a decent hooker costs as much as buying a new couch.

Every new Lost planet games fills me with sadness. I wanted to like the first one, but meh. I wanted the second to be good, but blah. And this doesn't sound any better.
However, the review was funny as hell, so that's something.

You know... watch the video before you comment. It honestly just seems you wanted to be the first commenter this way.carpathic said:
OT: I actually kinda liked the second one, but it was really forgettable. I played through that game twice and I am completely unable to remember anything that happened. There was forest, there were monsters. If it were worth mentioning then I would remember it. I don't think I'll bother with the third one.
Well. There's a Lost Planet 3, you learn something new everyday!
I kind of liked the first one for doing it's own thing, in a kind of early launch title game kind of way, but the second was absolute dross of the most generic shooter kind.

Ahhh, this is the Yahtzee we all know and love: not trying to nitpick things out of games that were overall decent (The Last Of Us, GTA V) for a few half-cocked and misaimed one-liners, and instead completely and fully rips apart a game nobody expected to be good, and delivers fully on the promise. Tying it all up with a few nods to previous reviews (Dead Space 3, Ride to Hell: Retribution) were just the icing on the cake
I can only hope that the mediocre waste that is the "Lost Planet" series doesn't taint the well for decent games on the "colonial space planet" setting. God knows there doesn't look like a decent sci-fi game on the horizon now that Mass Effect has wrapped up its trilogy (and if they DO somehow make a sequel to it, it'd have one hell of a legacy to live up to lest it get gangbanged by the whole gamer community).

I remember when the Xbox 360 was new and shiny (AKA: a loooong time ago), I remember playing a demo stand in a local music store that also happened to sell games and I remember being utterly amazed by Lost Planet's graphics and utterly confused by it's gameplay. I though it was pretty neat for the 10 minutes or so of gameplay, it's a real shame it got massively wasted over the years.
Also, LP3 reminds me more of Red Faction Armageddon, wich is basically Gears of War fused with Dead Space, but without the tight controls of the former and without the "thrills" (for a lack of better term, instead of "horror") of the later.
Also, I want my Shadow Warrior review, goddamit! >.<'

This review could have been much shorter. In a similar style of how they announce 'great news' about the Dacia Sandero [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXi_aFK2r9Y].
Anyway, never bothered to play this game. It's entire premise doesn't feel like a game to me. If it was developed by independent game developers, I would have given it a go. But otherwise, it's just like those horrible television films they show on SyFy.

And Capcom wonders why it's about to run out of money. Keep pumping money into shit like this while canceling countless Mega Man games that would have sold much better than this while having a smaller development cost, you wankers.
Yeah, just ignore anyone who whines to you about how you should have watched the video first. Speaking of things people should have done instead of what they did do, he should have just reported your post and moved on rather than playing forum police.carpathic said:
