Why does he use the Resident Evil series "numbering" as an analogy when Armored Core is a much easier target?

About the review, I thought it was ok, dunno, just didn't find it that funny.
I think he was trying too hard. It wasn't what I expected =[

Pirates are *clearly* the superior of both Vikings, Knights and Ninjas.

Anywho, stellar review, as always. I played the game for about an hour, and after my eighteenth death, I pretty much gave up.
Ninja's don't need a ship and all the acutraments like cannonballs and supplies, they just kill you dead in double quick time.
Finally someone who gets the point

Also ninjas invented gunpowder so if not for that pirates wouldn't have cannons anyway so there.

Ninjas: invented all the shit everyone else needed for killing before they knew they needed it.

On the point of excessive boobage, I wanna rewind just a second. Do y'all remember that one tentacle boss thing in the first Ninja Gaiden who swallowed the token blonde bimbo, what's-her-face? And when you killed the tentacle guy, Blondie Tits McGee jumped out all oiled up? As though somehow the creature's anatomy consisted of some mucus that doubled as cocoa butter? Are you kidding me?

That was when I realized that they missed the mark. I hope it's not that they think Americans like this shit, but rather they're assuming that we're all twelve years old. That's the only explanation I can come up with.

Is it just me or is Yahtzee's voice growing sharper, more angry, and way way way faster? I just rewatched one of the old videos and was struck by the difference in pace and tone.

I wonder if he will review Soul Caliber 4? I guessing he won't based on his Super Smash Bros. review.

Yahtzee is getting ok again, after watching his older videos and his newer ones I've concluded that all he wants to do is rant rather then review these days. This review was a little more fleshed out then his previous 5, which is good. I enjoyed this, I didn't really burst out laughing like I did with the Zelda review, nor did I really crack a smile. I knew some of it was funny, but it was kind of boring this review.

That's just what I thought anyway, but he's certainly on the rise again.

I guess I would have to ask if you've played the games for the reviews you didn't find funny. There are a couple of games that I saw the ZP review for before playing them, thought the reviews were alright, but not great; then when I did get around to playing the games, the reviews were that much better.
I have indeed played the game, did I like it? Yes I did, I like playing games that reward players for putting the time in. I've played almost all the games Yahtzee has reviewed, all I'm saying is that this review just wasn't as good as his older ones in my opinion, but it is an improvement over his newer ones. That's all.
No problem, was just curious if it had to do with something other than a change in ZP.

How old? His first 5 reviews were all made before he discovered a fast talking brit living in Australia capitalizing on his accent and location would get more viewers than a normal talking person who just happens to be british and live in Australia.

He is selling himself out then. He should be a game reviewer first and foremost, Added comedian routine that has depth shows off professionalism. Gay jokes don't.

And I thought he was losing his charm but the "In this new age of casual and mainstream gaming, linear games are about the spectacle" bit, altho...modern gaming is about graphics after all :p

The trouble is I see the great stallion as more than a "reviewer", Xplay lasted about 2-3 years before it got so corporate it was just not fun to watch, now with subtle changes (like opening ending bits) and his slight change of tone now and then.....it feels like hes already starting to sell himself off and not remain a creative game fan who rags on the industry even when he's raving about it.

Well, I'm sure if someone told you that you could make more money by doing something you're good at already and maybe changing something about it, you'd jump on it. He's not selling himself out until he starts appearing on random commercials.

I've watched the earlier reviews and noticed the speed pick up and attributed it to added confidence, really. As far as the anger goes, he just seems pissed about the games he's been reviewing.

I'd say it being developed with a Western Audiance in mind makes it say a hell of a lot more about us, because this is what they sum up American entertainment culture with: Blood, tits, and no real plot = American Entertainment Gold = Shitloads of money from America's compulsatory spending frenzies.

I didn't think he was trying to show off professionalism until the new video start was put in. Remember the tomb raiders review, he normally goes for cheap laughs, gay jokes are in that general area. And how does talking fast with a british accent make you less of a game reviewer? I guess we could blame him for being in Australia if the rest of the escapist isn't in Australia, since they are in a bad place for videogame reviews since they ban video games (yes, I don't feel the need to add anymore detail to that. If they've ever banned a single game that is still banned I would spend every cent I have to get out of there if I were a videogame reviewer), and wait longer for games. But his accent doesn't effect anything.

AHH!! I know, Morgan needs to hit Adam more often.
now with subtle changes (like opening ending bits) and his slight change of tone now and then.....it feels like hes already starting to sell himself off and not remain a creative game fan who rags on the industry even when he's raving about it.
He's still doing that. And the last game he reviewed that he liked was painkiller and he was ragging on the gaming industry in that review

I didnt care for this one that much maybe cause the last one was so good and made this one look really bad in comparison.

you should review BRAID for the Xbox 360 Arcade, its one of the best games ive seen in a long time and i think its something you would actually enjoy.
