Zero Punctuation: Mirror's Edge

[Mr.Pandah]

100 dollars in Australia...Jeez, I feel bad for you guys =/

I can only assume its a good review of the game seeing as I haven't played the game yet. I'm getting it for x-mas though, so I'll be able to take part in this "experiment" as well! Woot!

 

[Baby Tea]

I thought he'd actually like this game...cause, you know...it's original.
Oh well, at least his misery is our hilarious 5 minutes.

Well played, good sir. Well played.

 

[BlueInkAlchemist]

so i was on the AOL home page the other day

wewt love this game

very funny

Uhm... So it comes around 15:00 hours here in brazil. I'll see this review. Please make the next one Farcry2 or Left 4 Dead.

That was HILARIOUS

I'd been wondering if this game was any good. Thanks for the review.

Thought the demo was a bit 'meh'

Do you people really need to post before you even watch the freaking video?

Oh, be fair. Let them bask in their illusionary feeling of accomplishment before they get smacked across their idiotic faces with a ban stick.

 

[Mrmandude]

Totaly Agree my friend got this game is "borrowed it" finished it told him it sucked gave it back to him i won the argument

 

[Evilbunny]

Haha, very good review this week. I like it when he just flat out hates a game. The reviews are much funnier that way.

 

[Jursa]

I laughed like hell during this review, especially in the way you pronounced "dreams" and while this review tries to crucify mirror's edge I'm still nervously awaiting it.

 

[NeedAUserName]

I never hugely like the look of this, all my friends gushed about how the gameplay and graphics looked amazing, but I didn't hugely believe that the gameplay would be any better then Assassins Creed in 1st Person, and I didn't realize there was any combat in it for about 4 weeks. I'm not clever...

 

[Juan Regular]

I wonder why everyone seemes to have such problems with the game. I fell to death maybe five times during the whole game... And I usually suck at almost every game. I really love this game.
But still a great review. The "ate his own shoe" part made me spill my beer.

 

[Nemesais]

Great review. although i still think it's an awesome game

They've already been banned. Blimey, that was quick!

Someone's jealous!

 

[Chrisos]

They pay *you* to shove their wires up there? I'm sure I paid for that... er... I've heard people pay for that... Allegedly.

Sure, I'd love to be that stupid! Let me just find a power drill and do a little at-home cranial intrusion. It'll be *drills* arrgh larsh off furgle.

how would you be jealous to be the first to comment? Especially if you're going to make an absolutely useless comment.

EDIT: Dammit, ^^ this kid beat me to it!

 

[laikenf]

For some reason this game never appealed to me. Never liked the idea of 1st person platforming as it could be very disorienting (not to mention vomit inducing). But I really can't say anything about this game, I havn't played it, and I don't think I will anytime soon (got other games to catch up to).

 

[qubit]

I guess with every good experiment there's a hundred failed ones. I agree with Yahtzee on this point; it's definitely nice to see EA of all developers taking chances. Even if they tank like Mirror's Edge did, it's nice to see that someone is trying something different.

I haven't played Mirror's Edge yet, but I might rent it for the hell of it. I'd rather play a broken original game than a broken dumbed-down sequel anyway.

 

[ShogunGino]

Well, to be honest, I disagree with Yahtzee's decision. But I suppose I would be put in a downtrodden attitude about a short game if I had to pay AU$100 for a game that I know other Westerners pay only half as much.

But still, I don't mind short games if I have fun playing them, and I think Mirror's Edge is very fun. It feels like a first person Prince of Persia(Sands of Time trilogy, obviously), with guns.

Once again, I disagree with you Yahtzee, and, consequently, other people who don't like the game, but hey, I'm sorry you didn't have fun, because I certainly did.

Indeed. I mean, look at this:

Shoddy word construction, plot goes nowhere, dull action and concept. Very poor, see me.

Give the demo a go. Since, you know, that's what it's for...

I didn't really find it disorienting, but maybe it might affect you if you have 3D motion sickness.
