Zero Punctuation: SimCity

[Groenteman]

What you cant name your cities what you like?? Booh, allmost as bad as Civ V where I cant give them silly names at all...

+1 to the allready long list of reasons not to buy simcity 5. The list of reason I should buy it gets poo map though, making it a total of 2 things. The other being curvy roads.

This was probably one of my favorite ZP videos. I haven't laughed that hard in weeks.
"Fucking Sold!"

I have avoided many bad games simply by boycotting EA.

I'm actually an extrovert and I'm usually one to tell people to STFU when they say random games need multiplayer, like Dishonored for example.

Can't wait for him to review Bioshock Infinite. He's going to struggle to find something to be negative about.

Don't be so naive. The game has a lot of weaknesses. Sluggish controls, invisible walls in certain areas to block you from progressing to spots where you're not supposed to go yet and some other things as well...

The game is fun but not perfect.

On topic: well done review. This piece of poo doesn't deserve anything better.

This Is Yahtzee remember you could send him gold and he would complain that its heavy

Perhaps SimCity(2013) was a very expensive way to market Sim City 4.
I'd guess sales of Sim City 4 would have accelerated as a result.

Like how Sims 3 inadvertently promotes Sims 2.

Was it me or was the ZP unusually slow this week. No that I am complaining or anything since I laughed hearthily throughout the most of the video. Mothra-Godzilla routine at the end was the icing on top really.

Wow, Yatzee seems really aggravated/disappointed in the first half of this. He's the way he was in the old/classic reviews!

On the bright side, it seems like The Binding of Isaac has joined FTL, DayZ, and hardcore Minecraft (in backwards chronological order) in his list of games he likes to "scrub" himself with to perhaps bring in rage/achievement to push the hatred of other games/services out.

 

[spartandude]

Yeah....the controversy exploded about three weeks ago.
And every single problem discovered only made things worse; the traffic AI, the DLC buildings and Terraforming tool found in the game client, the fact that EA and Maxis flat out lied to everyone about the difficulty of including an offline mode patch...

Kind of stole Yahtzee's thunder.

agreed, while it was a good video it was too late to be as funny as it could have been

Yeah, it's been a long time since I've heard Yahtzee as apathic as he seems now. Usually he's slagging off the game of the week with gleeful contempt, but this time he's much more resigned. It's probably because SimCity was such a disappointment that even Yahtzee's famously low expectations were violated.

The one thing this game has over SimCity 4 is that it?s not ridiculous difficult in SimCity 4 even on easy I required a guide to make sure I didn?t go bankrupt i do freely admit that it?s likely that I?m just bad at SimCity 4.

It didn't take him much to find stuff to nag about in the previous games. Give me the game, a few hours to play and I probably can point out quite a bunch of flaws myself.

 

[BX3]

Jeeeeeeeeezuss.

Not since Sonic Unleashed has he been that angry at a game.

 

[l3o2828]

This 'Calm' Yahtzee always manages to scare me.
It's like he's not even angry, he's so deeply dissapointed and sad that he can't bring himself to show anything but his dissapointment with a medium that he loves and finds joy in. Really, it's just tragic.

 

[Steve the Pocket]

I was kind of hoping he would skip over this game, since everything negative there is to be said about it was already said by everyone else on the planet within the first week it was out. Mostly I've just been eager to see him do a look back at System Shock 2 now that that's available again. With Irrational's latest game out, this would have been the perfect time for it.

 

[Elijah Newton]

What, not one word - NOT ONE WORD!?! - about the curvy roads? CURVY ROADS, PEOPLE! Do you not remember that fscking talking point they never failed to bring up when they were talking about the game's development? And did they not deliver? Were there not, in fact, curvy roads? Does this count for nothing? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!



curvy roads my fat aunt fannie...

It's accurate too..

Sim City 4 is on Steam, you say?

More features and far less cheaper, you say?

I can name my city "F*ck Mountain" and no one will get all pissy about it, you say?

Sold.
