Haha, enjoyed both the Calvin and Hobbes and Princess Bride jokes in this one. Great review overall as always.
Mmmm, chess and go, the games that inspired "pai sho" a surprisingly fun game (taken from the avatar[of the good variety] universe)drakenabarion said:Okay you are right, its not the fault of casual games. But the problem when I go into a game store is that I can almost only find casual games on the Wii. Wii ported flash type games don't appeal to me, but I guess its obvious that they are making a lot of money for Nintendo, and Pop Cap gameshcig said:1.sadness was vaporware, sorry, but shattered memories is similar in concept, and it way friggin awesome (also very graphically appealing)drakenabarion said:Yey. Back to a good standard!
I love my Wii, but I love hearing Yahtzee tear it to shreds.
Now what the Wii needs is someone to burn all those casual games and start again. Even if there were good games on Wii, at the moment its too embarrassing rummaging through "My favourite pet kitten", "Barbies Magical Adventure" and other such made up titles which wouldn't shock my if the did really exist.
Wii was supposed to be a new and futuristic gaming system, not just another way to play chess.
p.s. Does anyone know if "Sadness" will ever be released? Along with Zelda, it was one of the reasons I bought the Wii on release date but seems to have vanished/been cancelled.
2.casual games dont need to burn, there are people that enjoy those games, the problem is the STIGMA needs to burn, so developers will put in proper time and money (like with RS2, silent hill, and monster hunter tri) to make a good game, sadly, RS2 isnt doing very well (though it has alot working against it) but silent hill sold well, and in japan, monster hunter tri sold the BEST of all the console MH games (still hard to compete with the psp market thought, as it is a portable version)
3.also, i like chess, but we need advance wars online instead
But I hope Red Steel 2 is a step in the right direction. From what I can tell, it is a much more refined gaming experience. And a game doesn't need high definition or 2.9 billion polygons per seconds to be good. But time will tell if anyone else tried to do something new with that platform.
(Oh I like Chess too, and also Go (Japanese board game based on the idea of capturing territory for those who are not familiar) )
He said on Twitter he went to GAMETRADERS RO.... err... some other GAMETRADERS to pick up the UK copy of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. Nintendo can't ruin his bootloader if he doesn't need to use it!SkullCap said:*laughs quietly to myself*hcig said:he joked about "too good to rip on" before but im almost certain he cant complain enough to justify itSkullCap said:I have to admit this game looks rather good. Definitely worth a rental to check it out.
I must say this is Yahtzee's first Wii review in several months which made me curious as to why he has not reviewed No More Heroes 2. Regardless of that, this Red Steel 2 review was a nice surprise.
or maybe its because it doesnt release until the end of next month
The Australian release dates do point to the possibility of No More Heroes 2 not being reviewed yet just like Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.
what, do you work for them? sixense is the same thing as the wii motion plusDhatz said:the only problem with Wii's controls is the wii's controls! it's obsolete as shit.
Nothing can beat the Sixense True Motion. And it's multiplatform!

What was the Hellsing Reference? I think it flew over my head.wildcard9 said:Hmm...references to Charlie Brown, Helsing, and Calvin and Hobbes in the same review.
1. i have long wondered how a gameplay over graphics person could possibly bash the wii for graphics, but he did it.Lordofthesuplex said:Y'know Yahtzee's lucky Twitter limits how long your tweets are because I would've fucking posted a much more mean spirited tweet than the one I sent him now. It seems every time he does a Wii review now, another brainless dipshit PS3 fanboy on YouTube uses it as an excuse as to how Wii owners apparently have no dick or how much of the very fanboys he hates that he's ironically become. (Except he gets paid for it)
Also I love how contradictory he is when it comes to the Wii using cel-shaded graphics in it's game. First of all, I thought Yahtzee was a "gameplay over graphics" person and second, I don't remember him saying that about No More Heroes 1. So it's okay for that game to do it but when every other game does it, it's because of graphics limitations. Yeah that's real fair.
Also why does every asshole on the internet keep saying it took 3 years for the Wii to get good? Last I checked aside from Brawl, No More Heroes, and Mario Kart, it was '08 that the Wii had it's first big blunder of a year and '09 was only slightly better than that but still lagged a bit. So it's really only been two years so far.
This review was a reference to half my child hood with those! Princess Bride, Calving and Hobbes, Charlie Brown. Great review! Normally I can think of something I want him to do next but at this point I'm out of ideas. As always, can't wait til next week.Captain192 said:Haha, enjoyed both the Calvin and Hobbes and Princess Bride jokes in this one. Great review overall as always.
