Zero Punctuation: Nier

[KorLeonis]

I must now get a job in the nobbing around department. I want to wear a hat with a goose (maybe?) on it.

 

[dmase]

Great review, I wish there were was a better selection of my kind of rpgs out.

...I really need to get an RPG to sink ungodly amounts of time in. Dragon Age Origins i'm getting you tomorrow.

 

[ItsAPaul]

Yeah, where the hell did Nier come from? Did the marketing department fall asleep?

 

[Christopher Bruening]

do you do reviews?

 

[drkchmst]

I am kind of disappointed. I would have bet that he would have torn Nier to bits. He was far kinder than I am currently playing it. While the supporting characters were less annoying than those in higher profile games...(FFXIII)...they are still annoying. Battle past the first half is annoying with the entrance of two handed weapons that are slow as F or are only useful in a straight line. Furthermore wtf is with grimoire noir's entrance? it was so random it was like the story writers forgot they had to bring grimoire noir back into the story so they said "hey we can make this game twice as long by saying that last boss...it didn't die and there was this shadowlord fella. FART!

As usual, excellent job, kept me grinning.

Loved the Line "Called all the mates I know and niether had heard of it."

Guess one of his mates is gone, he used to have at least three for the multiplayers like SSBB, and Guitar Hero/Rockband

not a bad review
i rather liked the game the story and stuff could have been better but i had fun playing it so no big deal

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I have also not ever heard of this title before you killed it with words. Interesting, I usually see obscure titles where I shop all the time.

Boosh? Really, Yahtzee? The only other place I've heard that was the intro to Haze and they were supposed to be a bunch of mindless drug-addled frat boy types. Some good moments though, particularly the new name.

A NEARRR DEATH EXPERIENCE, BOOSH!

Win. :]

If I have a "Nier" death experience, I want it go BOOOSH as well. I just think it would feel right.

 

[cyxz]

Too many f*cks this week mister Yahtzee.
Liked it though.

 

[Marter]

Didn't laugh Nierly as much as I normally do. The only part that really got me was the ending.

 

[superbatranger]

To me, the word "Nier" itself illustrates its purpose quite well in the following conversation.

Gamer 1: Have you heard about that new game everyone's been talking about?
Gamer 2: I have, actually. I got it at my house.
Gamer 1: When did you get it?
Gamer 2: Day before yesterday. I've played it for about an hour.
Gamer 1: How is it?
Gamer 2: Nier..*shrugs*
Gamer 1: Damn, that bad?
Gamer 2: I'm returning it tomorrow. Good thing it was just a rental.

 

[Novur]

'Boosh'? Dam you Haze!

Dammit! I was going to say that. Never mind. At least someone remembered.

"Alright, as my first act as sargent of this unit, I am declaring this a boosh free zone."

 

[Novur]

Wait, Did I just get 200? Weird.

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

I could trawl back and find the comments, but seeing as they were pages apart, I'm just going to say I saw several comments criticising Yahtzee's "raspy" voice. Maybe he has a cold? Give him some slack, he still DID the review!

 

[Jay Cee]

Nier, far, whereeeever you aaaare...

 

[Kinokiro]

BOOSH!

 

[Benjamin van Beuningen]

Nier means kidney in Dutch

 

[sukotsuto]

Oh shit he referenced Illbleed lol. A strange Dreamcast horror game that has the main female character come really close to full nudity, yet it slipped past the radar.
