Maybe he was referring to certain porn sites...Zhukov said:Somebody is going to have to break the news to Yahtzee that his "you just had to endure an ad to watch this video" joke came on the same week when everyone was given premium membership for reasons not yet entirely clear. So many of us didn't have to endure an ad.
I assumed it was because I'd hit the seven year mark since I'd registered. Or because they'd caught me complaining about the bandwidth-sucking full-video banner ads and the horribly broken attempt at crowbarring Flash-based ads into an HTML5-based player or the mandatory "captchas" that involve parroting a corporate slogan like something cyberpunk dystopia writers are probably all smacking their heads wishing they'd thought of first, and figured if I stopped seeing those things, I'd stop talking about them, if only because I couldn't be totally sure they were still there for other people.Zhukov said:Somebody is going to have to break the news to Yahtzee that his "you just had to endure an ad to watch this video" joke came on the same week when everyone was given premium membership for reasons not yet entirely clear.

Yeah, that was some odd timing on Yahtzee's part. I also noticed my profile pic changed; it used to be what should have been a GIF of Yahtzee clapping his hands and going "WONK!"Steve the Pocket said:I assumed it was because I'd hit the seven year mark since I'd registered.

But I guess not?
There was an allegedly French character and there's a bit where the main character speaks some French. Other than that it doesn't really do much of anything other than stave off a lawsuit from Plato's estate.RJ Dalton said:Republique has a very French looking spelling to it to me. Were any of the characters in this game French? Or is it just a desperate attempt to make a boring and probably not all that applicable title seem cool?
It's still avaiable for the smartphone users, however something did change as there's also a PS4 version available.Bedinsis said:Yahtzee, one fact you might not have known of is that the developers set out to make a hardcore experience for a touchpad* audience in the making of this game, i.e. they were aiming primarily for the iPad users. Judging by your review you didn't play on a touchpad device, but I just wonder if this changes how you look on this game?
*or at least that's what they said at one point; it's possible they've changed their objective during the years of development.
I was more talking in terms of that their primary platform might have changed; that they continued to support the mobile platforms is a given.Transdude1996 said:It's still avaiable for the smartphone users, however something did change as there's also a PS4 version available.
