A very disappointing review. Not because what is probably my favorite game series just got called a boring slideshow of illegal immigrant work and bullying bird hatchlings that's not even worth the CD it's stored on, but because it got called a boring slideshow of illegal immigrant work and bullying bird hatchlings that's not even worth the CD it's stored on by someone who's obviously never played it and pretended they have! Some games have tutorials in the beginning, Yahtzee, and this one just happens to be long since Monster Hunter is one of, if not 'the' hardest game series currently in existence, and I assure you from this review, you weren't even out of the tutorial stage before you abruptly gave up on it, then figured you'd make a review without mentioning you only played it for about 30 minutes. *inhales*
Although I know my words only hold so much power, (about as much as a battery that's been used twice, stored in a freezer, used again, covered in acid and eaten by a Tyrannosaurus Rex with heart problems) for the sake of Monster Hunter's honor I have to stand up and say that Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw has only played as much Monster Hunter as he uses periods in his sentences, which is to say only one at the very end of every review, which accounts for about the same percentage of gameplay in Monster Hunter that gathering resources and beating up tiny things consists of. *inhales*
That being said, what Yahtzee said about Monster Hunter is about as accurate as me saying that he can't affiliate himself with ZeroPunctuation because he eventually stops talking at the end of his reviews, which is of course about as accurate as a blind man with a blunderbuss being spun around while he tries to shoot a gnat on the wall of a house in another country, all the while trying to survive the fact that amidst his being spun around and blindness he's also being mauled by a bear.
