Zero Punctuation: Mailbag Showdown

[Schnozberry]

Hilarious. Especially the end.

I am "white enough" to own all the consoles and agree completely with Yahtzee's estimate. As much as I LOVE SSBB and think it is GOTY material, no game is ever for anyone and I respect that.

Looking forward to the GTAIV review. That overtook SSBB for me, and I HATED GTA3, GTA VC and GTA SA. Didn't think they were worth playing at all. GTAIV is a masterpiece.

Awesome Yahtzee. Just awesome.

Care to indulge as to how this opinion came to be? I personally loved all the games, including GTA I, GTA II and GTA II London (or whatever it's called). But I found the lack of garages and actual options to use your money for propety a bit crappy. "Hi here's 500000$" "Cheers mate" "But you're not allowed to spend it on anything, and it's not a plot-device either."

Eh may I point out the fact that some may be from Europe and have hyped up a game they don't even have yet.

well, we have or own versions of GAMETRADERS ROBINA, you know?

Very nice. You speak the truth about the games you review, and your videos never fail to make me laugh.

All those SSBB fan boys can go cry and cut themselves about how Nintendo's "greatest" hits are a bunch of recycled garbage.

I agree with what was said about numbers being used in reviews. How someone can tell how good a game is by some person saying it is whatever percent of some arbitrary number is beyond me. I think the simple truth of it is that it simplifies reviews down to something small and short enough for the huge amounts of blatant fuzztards of the internet to comprehend. It allows them to associate a number with positivity etc. For example the number 7, which everybody loves and its a number that's frequently invited to parties and never has to buy its own drinks because well mannered and good looking people will buy drinks for 7. But 7 can't compare to the likes of 9, which everyone loves. Especially the people that price everything £9.99 in the belief that everyone wants to have a stupid amount of copper coins no one has any use for. I think i've lost the plot. Anywho back on topic, well as much as is humanly possible.
What numbers don't tell you (even 7 & 9), is what the game is like to play. A review that says it is essentially played by beating your head against the controller until you either win or loose consciousness is ostensibly better than a single number. The sort of people that are placated by having nice numbers in a box that says rating are most likely not going to read all that nasty squiggles by the side of it Now i've completely lost the point of what I was saying but as i've written this all out now, there's no point in not posting. Rant over until I can find something else to complain about. Which could quite possibly not take very long. And now i've realised that this post is obscenely much longer than everyone else's.

my letter to Yahtzee:

"I think your stalling...

but nevertheless, good form, despite having to stoop down to their level, and actually entering a discourse with your critics (read: walking wii-whore fanboy orifi* [*or is it orifices?])



Anyway, i'm sending this to you and not the comments board because i tried that, and my internet failed. so straight to the source.



Did you notice the first letter defeats itself.

"SSBB is awesome... the reason you dont like SSBB is that you were crap at it ... dont try to blame it on bad controls [sorry, contols] or opponents having super moves that strike you out in one hit"



In the same big breath, Jeremy Gigaballs proclaims the awesome supremecy of SSBB, before going on to, himself, point out its bad control scheme and unbalanced AI. when, as you pointed out you didnt actually mention these fair grounds for criticism.


who's the twat now?





..oh wait, its probably me, its 3 am, and I'm seeking validation from a man I heard on the internet. "

I can't be bothered to import or anything like that, I just wait for the PAL release (Might be my downfall, but my friends know that I do not wish to have all the spoilers revealed to me.). Although I am happy now that we have a release date for it.

I HATED GTA3, GTA VC and GTA SA. Didn't think they were worth playing at all. GTAIV is a masterpiece.

I am quite suprised by this to be honest i consider them to be all quite similair, what do you think IV has that the others don't?

 

[Zekko5]

Awesome! One of your funniest reviews (or whatever) yet!

Food for flame wars! *hurries to find a good seat*

The only thing I can see is a more consistent storyline, and a more likeable main character.

Besides that, the exact same gameplay with slight additions and slight lacks - and vastly improved graphics.

Aww he was an adorable little gamer kid. hehe *wonders if he really had the hat then too*

[s0denone]

you see even more quoting

Stop being such a twat, you senseless blockhead.

If your particular case of 'diarrhea-of-the-mind' is really that bad, then you should seek both physical and mental treatment. Visit a doctor and a psychiatrist.

Same could be said for the Playstation and X-box side aswell, but then again most people are biased to certain consoles, that they don't admit it.

 

[adamandkate]

this was fantastic. you should be in media. i mean a more important media, like tv. as we all know internet writing pays shit.

 

[Killer7]

LMAO great to c Yahtzee slap around the the fan boys of SSBB, if they hate it fck off some where else!

 

[s0denone]

that's just it. this is the only comment you've posted on this website

Mate, you created your account today, and you only did it to troll this topic with senseless bullshit.

Please refrain from such oddities.

Care to name a few titles? Will be happy to agree/disagree with you. I might be a little biased, as I only own the xbox 360, but I still can't think of a game that is just a recycle of the same old bull.

With the exceptions of all sport games, but that goes for all consoles, and the PC.
