Steam is about as cheap as yahtzee's mum. Not very cheap at all!Silva said:Yahtzee, it's one thing that you are damn funny, but it's just another to show just how much you want a job with Valve by giving them a gigantic free plug for the most INconvenient game download service most people will ever use. Maybe you're lucky but there are more glitches in Steam than there are in your average sandbox game, and we both know that that is saying something.
Anyone who thinks a game download service is more convenient than a store two blocks away is probably not just lazy, but fused to their chairs by way of flab. Or they're making a plug that they're paid for, or want to be paid for.

Then maybe developers should stop putting the games on consoles they weren't designed for to make a quick buck from unassuming people, eh?Maraveno said:BY GOD! YAHTZEE STOP REVIEWING STUFF ON THE WRONG PLATFORMS
And give the developers a little credit for the dark humor they put in which in some points actually quite resembles your's
I mean the whole game is A rip on the fantasy universe have you not played the first game do you not get what It's about
Usually I agree with you but this is a game that actually seems to be you YES I said you if you we're to be a game
Then stop using Irish and British voice actors for Fallout 3!magicdemon71 said:how can the actors have British accent??
it's is a dutch game
Yahtzee can't use the same excuse you can as he made a game based on puzzles, and nobody's paying you to write a review, so you don't have to play it, which I'm pretty sure you haven't anyway.mike1921 said:You can't really blame him that much, I mean in the tutorial I was able to tell I'd be fucked if a real puzzle comes along in the demo. Which annoyed me to no end because that's not what I was doing/wanted to be doing 99% of the time. It's like God of war, I love when I'm killing shit but when you give me a puzzle sequence I'll only be able to get passed it if I have gamefaqs handy, hopefully there are some fun monsters to fight during the puzzle sequence so I could not bore myself to death (really , who the hell thought it'd be a good ideas to add puzzles to a fast paced action game?). If the whole game or a fuckton of the game was that minion controlling thing the game'd be as unplayable as it deserves to be for forcing you to do that shit.
Just because you don't have the capacity for puzzle solving, which you admit, doesn't mean it's a bad game, it just makes it ill-suited to your playstyle. It's a critics job to play through it. That's what they're payed for, giving a review to its entirety. He stopped playing probably around the use of the fire minions, he doesn't even mention blue or green, let alone what they do. This suggests he didn't even read the manual. Part of each review should be based on how easily you can get a hang of the game, if he's unwilling to learn. Furthermore, maybe there's some redeeming quality later on, like, I don't know, having access to all the minion types. Simply put, don't even try to back it up unless you're going to play through and make a decent objective review that explains the pros and cons. And then you can throw in why you hate it and the developer should go die in a bush, or whatever drivel you want to add. Maybe The Escapist will pay you instead then.mike1921 said:Making a critic play a bad game through to the end will do what exactly?

As was the case with Ghostbusters. Even then, he did have a point criticizing the dumb AI.Lord_Jaroh said:Then maybe developers should stop putting the games on consoles they weren't designed for to make a quick buck from unassuming people, eh?
Like I said, I played the demo. It made me feel "ehhh". I'll get the full game when gamefly sends it to me.Jeffman12 said:Yahtzee can't use the same excuse you can as he made a game based on puzzles, and nobody's paying you to write a review, so you don't have to play it, which I'm pretty sure you haven't anyway.mike1921 said:You can't really blame him that much, I mean in the tutorial I was able to tell I'd be fucked if a real puzzle comes along in the demo.

But, how will playing it through to it's entirety change anything? For GOW, maybe this is me being biased, but I think it's pretty out of place to follow killing a barbarian with the blades of athena with a puzzle sequence. There are people who read the manuals before they run into problems O_O ?Just because you don't have the capacity for puzzle solving, which you admit, doesn't mean it's a bad game, it just makes it ill-suited to your playstyle.
