Zero Punctuation: Mailbag Showdown

[DakotaCash]

Hey Yahtzee, I enjoy watching your reviews. But it puzzles me, where do you get your material?
Because after i get up from loss of breath and brain cells lol, this is what I say
(in quotations)"How the hell does he think this stuff up".

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, It's SUPERTROLL!

Remember when we loved video games about how fun they are? Yah that was great, mindless sheep didn't kill sales with their mornfull bleating.

Yes, because I haven't suffered a debilitating brain injury [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209144/]. I'm pretty sure this is in fact, still the case; I certainly haven't bought any games in the eager anticipation of hours of drudgery and boredom. I must confess my lack of awareness of the impact of zombie sheep [http://www.blacksheep-themovie.com/] on the games industry, but then I'm not from New Zealand.

Remember when how a game was marketed to fans an torn apart by anti-fans (they exists) determined sales? Yah that was great too, designers would do the best they could not try to influence public opinion

What? Designers have always tried to influence public opinion, because they need to sell games to make money to eat and clothe themselves and put petrol in their cars. It's called marketing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing].

Remeber when game reviewers reviwed games? Yah that was great, you know instead of spending week after week getting his popularity BY FUKING BASHING A GAME HE DIDN"T PLAY. Im sorry im not saying pro/con SSBB but seriously your getting famous for not doing reviews.... WTF? You or the internets who do I blame?

I think his list of very specific complaints shows he palyed it, but you don't care because you're a troll [http://www.trollz.com/home/]. I realise that by replying I'm only feeding you and making you stronger, but I don't care because I'm bored and at the moment I sadly have nothing better to do.

NOTE: caps lock DENOTES EMOTION!

I always thought capslock DENOTED SHOUTING!

It doesn't matter though, because you used the shift key didn't you? I can tell because I'M STANDING RIGHT BEHIND YOU WITH MY CHAINSAW AND HOCKEY MASK!! BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAAAAAA!!

Yahtzee is a necessary evil. I wish more game reviewers had the balls to point out that B.S. stinks. I swear when I saw everyone give GTA IV a perfect score I just rooolllled my eyes. Wish I could get on that gravy train, but since I'm not I didn't give it a perfect score.

 

[andycowpat]

this is how we do things on the internet lol

No one told me that I needed a plastic sheet [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Gallagher] to watch the comedy on this site unfold!

*Rant alert*

Ugh. So, people can't enjoy what they enjoy? Subjective personal reviews have to meet your standard of what you like and enjoy?

No, GTA isn't 'perfect', Halo 3 isn't 'perfect', the Sims 2 isn't 'perfect', but this constant moaning about 'oh they gave x a perfect score and I hate x. Therefore, the reviews are wrong' drives me mad.

Maybe one day developers will perfect the perfect game, who's jewel encrusted CD/DVD/Disk of futuric hologram storage will break the old addage 'You can please everyone some of the time, you can please some people all of the time, but you can't please everyone all of the time' and then maybe people will stop bitching about subjective reviews and accusing people of taking bribes. But I doubt it.

*Rant over*

STOP THE FUCKING POSTING ALREADY!!!

WHO THE FUCK CARES WHAT THIS DICK HAS TO SAY ABOUT A FIGHTING GAME

WHO THE FUCK CARES IF SSBB IS GOOD OR BAD

EITHER PLAY THE GAME OR DON'T, JUST STOP THE BITCHING

This would be hilariously ironic if I hadn't seen stuff like it thousands of times already.

 

[Fire Daemon]

This is pathetic, it really is.

 

[Littlenorwegians]

You fanboys make me laugh. Yahtzee makes me laugh even more. Great combination. Oh, I got a little tear in my eye. hehehe... Hooeee...

This is hilarious to me as seeing as I am waiting for the European release.

 

[CHambo]

just letting you know mate, you are god.

everything you say is exactly what im thinking and an extra kilo or so of brilliance. keep it up! i shat my pants everytime i watch ur vids of laughter

 

[Lupie]

Scientists have declared this thread to be SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS. Members of the public have been advised not to panic, and to stay indoors until further notice.

 

[pulse2]

Lol, no game is perfect, but apparently saying SSBB isn't gets your balls cut off and whats left of you put before the firing squad.

I personally don't care for the game, played it once, found it boring, but thats just my opinion due to my taste in games, but obviously having an opinion can get you killed.

It looks like some of the commenters are seriously considering taking this further then a simple comment from the looks of things, better not piss em off lol Looking forward to today's one, and the comments to come with it.

To be honest, I think the only reason Yahzee bothered to give posters any attention concering SSBB is to delay the process a bit while he played GTA4 or something.

Which is downright lazy, but then again its not like we wouldn't have done something similar.

Remember, the boy's human, too. ...Probably.

 

[Lord of Decay]

and what have we learned from this? thats right sending rude messages to Yahtzee will result in you getting owned very publicly in amusing ways

Opinion is divided. I still have yet to receive evidence he's not a Dalek, the way he spouts hate.

I think you're onto something there, you know. If you take off the hat, there's this sort of hollow where the top of his head should be, and in there's sitting this jelly-like organism, operating the rest of his body like an Eva unit!!

THE WORLD MUST BE INFORMED.

EXTERMINATE NINTENDO! Yeah, I could see that.

I'm frankly astounded that no-one has thought of it before.

...Hurr hurr, ass-tounded. S'got "ass" in it. (...Disregard, cocks, etc.)

 

[crimped]

i don't know if you read this shit but WTG!

 

[DeLukas]

The World Ends With You hass almost been out a month but I still consider that new to be honest. Since when did I mention Final Fantasy? And I have no idea what Beat Mania is.

My point is, it's not "completely new." It's a mashup of games that have already been successful. Such games can be good, and can be fun, and can be inspired, but they aren't new.

Remeber when game reviewers reviwed games?

Yes, and that is why I'm hooked on Zero Punctuation, because it reminds me of those ages past.

Its called rounding, idiot. What do you want them to go 9.96738712873/10 just to make it clear that there are problems? If people only gace perfect scores to perfect games, it would remove that value completely.

I think what Indigo is getting at, though, is far too many 10s are given out in the first place. A game shouldn't be required to be perfect to get a 10, but an FPS with a boring single player campaign (Halo 3) should be considered enough of a fault to knock it down at least a point.

But then, that's just my opinion. I don't get too pissed off about game reviews because everyone's entitled to their opinions.
