Good job. Do the new pokemon game for the DS. tehre just something wrong with remakes of an origional game.
Sometimes, I wonder why I like Zero Punctuation. It's not new anymore, it's not particularly clever or funny, and, while it has it's moments, most of the time it's just simply entertaining. So why do I come back every week?
Well, I've just read the Dethroning Moment Of Suck page for ZP on TV Tropes, and I realized: I like the way he's trolling. All those butthurt fanboys raging, pathetically trying to prove him wrong; Yahtzee really knows to kick where it hurts. After every episode, I imagine all the poor sods assaulting the forums, smoldering with RAGE lulz.
But it's not (only) because I like to see stupid people being upset, it's the right to criticise anything that's flawed, even if it's popular. I don't understand why something I like should be always perfect. Is it not possible to like something in spite of, or indeed because of it's flaws?

Damn it! Ever since this episode came out everyone keeps asking me "What the @#$% is Nier?". And I don't even know what it is either.
Heh, you're in luck, I just randomly clicked on page 4. Aside from that, I really recommend picking this game up, I really liked it.Flauros said:
One thing I didn't like about this ZP is that Yahtzee was wondering wether the boss ripoff thing from Zelda was a homage, which I find stupid because the game literally tells you "The mouth? Such an obvious weak point" and "Where have I seen this before?" If that's not obviously homage...
"Someone should probably call them out on this" about Kainé's lingerie. The game itself makes jokes about that... Really, I don't mind Yahtzee badmouthing a game I liked, but this is just silly.
Ah well, it was still yet another funny ZP.
I was just thinking of Illbleed when you mentioned the masking tape.
I've actually beaten that entire game.
It's certainly something else.
^Illbleed is survival horror. Campy b-movie survival horror, that is.

Yeah .. about Kaine's clothes .. i loved how the in-game characters comment on it .. specially the flying magical book (forgot his name) ... he goes like "as strange as a boorish woman fighting monsters in her under-garments, hah" .. lols .. that book character is really priceless.TooMiserableToLive said:
Yeah .. and for all the people calling Square on this one .. get your facts straight people .. this game is developed and designed by CAVIA not Square .. square is merely overlooking the development from a distance and doing the publishing .. like many other square games made by other minor studios (Star Ocaean with Tri-Ace and Drakengard with Cavia)
Oh .. and i don't know why yahtzee ignored that .. but this game has -hands down- the BEST sound track i heard in years ... it's pretty damn good.
Oh no, he didn't ignore that. He said something along the lines of "all the while playing the same damn 5 minutes loop which is now playig in the lift of my personal hell."Hunter.Wolf said:
Yeah, I loved the soundtrack too...
Oh, and the book's name is Weiss. As in white, in German. The other book is called Noir, which is black in French.
I lost all respect for anything with the word "Squaresoft" or "Square-Enix" on the box when they released that atrocity FF10-2 (Well before that really, but 10-2 was the "fork"). I can see this was made by another company, maybe this is the winning formula for them.
