Zero Punctuation: Silent Hill Origins

I believe it was this review where... Ben? Or whoever the guy is that makes these reviews said "You have 1 second to name a game where weapons wearing away was a good idea." Thats probubly an unexact quote but I immediatly though about prince of persia warrior within. It was fun in that. I just beat that game recently.

OK So I've been looking up "Silent Hill: Homecoming" - and... I'm gonna place a bet that he may actually have to eat his ass now...

Technically Silent Hill homecoming creates a loophole. Since Yahtzee never specified whether he meant the 5th one or the one labeled "silent hill 5". So whichever one renews the feeling that the series is alive, yahtzee can say he meant the other one.

Weapon degragation was great in Oblivion (Sorry Yahtzee, I know you hate RPGs like that, or do you? Yes? Ok) because it meant you can't take a sword with the ability to blow your enemy to tiny pieces of glass (Not a magic sword, just powerful) over and over as it will break and you will be forced to switch to something like a dagger or a bow, making you more a man/fish/thing with a face made of crap/ogre and less like a god.

He doesn't hate RPGS, he hates JRPGS. And the point still stands a katana that breaks after 5 hits sucks. Also the difference between two weapons that aren't magic is normally not enough to turn you feeling like a god into you feeling like a normal person.

To answer your retorical question Yahtzee, degradable weapons have worked for World of Warcraft.

Possibly Farcry 2 btw we never did see him eat his own ass June 29 2009

 

[The Noble Shade]

A game where weapon degradation fits? The Fire Emblem series. Fits into the strategy.

Twix Katana and Fagmasexual, your reviews have me in stitches Yahtzee.
I also agree,#2 is the best of the series.

I actually managed to think "Dark Cloud" in that one second he gave.

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

LoL, so he was saying that he writes Invader Zim fan fiction?

 

[AllyKat =D]

bit of a late reply but with your comment to silent hill 4.... technically he does go to silent hill through the tunnel but he only really goes to the orphanage =]
just take this as useless information =D

aw i love this review, its fucking hilarious ^_____^
some yanks that couldn't have missed the point harder if they fired in the wrong direction and the point was in a different country altogether LOL

Also, you have one second to name any game in which weapon degradation has been a good idea.

Minecraft. Although development on that game wouldn't start until a year after this video was posted, so that may be cheating.

Is it me or is that yahtzee's picture at the end when he's compare Charles Dickenson to fanfic writers? lawl
