i must admit, for a game reviewer who normally makes milk and other things shoot out of my nose at a velocity only steel armoured dinosaurs could survive...that was about as funny as watching mary poppins on dope paint a uniform fence.

If I didn't think it to be above Yahtzee's character to do such a thing (Har har), I would hazard a guess that "Spyalt" is a Yahtzee alt sent here to terrorize and humiliate his fans while at the same time trolling for praise to soothe his mild-mannered-alter-(mega)-ego . I can imagine him enjoying that.

Except there is a bit too much anger there I guess to be Yahtzee... oh well. Yahtzee on drugs?

Have you ever considered the possibility that he is "actually reviewing" the games he is playing and not just trying to be funny? The word "review" is in the name of his episodes for a reason. I actually find him to be a better reviewer then many of the big reviewers like IGN or gamespot because he does not call every game made by rockstar the "next big leap" simply because it's made by rockstar. I would take Yahtzee's review over the IGN and gamespot reviews any day of the week (well almost).
This post and your name give me the right to take everything you say as ignorant babble and I shall treat it as such.
And why is that?
As I said your name and the fact that you considered taking Yahtzee's review over one of IGN's or gamespot's.

I'm glad there wasn't a great deal of venom hurled at the sightjacking concept. Any time a designer takes a step out of the box like that, it's good for gaming as a whole (even if the execution of the idea ends up being a useless feature).

This.
You both have avatars from Japanese videogames.

Silence.
So racism is your argument. Nice one mate.
Actually his argument is that you're biased towards Japanese games. I don't see any mention of racism
Care to prove that I'm biased towards them? No thought not, try harder next time.
Your av is from a Japanese game. Given that neither I nor he know you personally, all we have to go on is how you represent yourself on The Escapist. And you have chosen to represent yourself with something Japanese. Hence, logically, you are fond of them and thus have some bias. QED

Also, why is everyone being so retarded? "You has japanese avatar, you have a dumb nick, you like stuff i don't like, so i will insult your comments" Yahtzee's videos do gather plenty of angry sex-less fanboys and what not, but this is going way over the top.

It was an alright review though I do agree with the "this works/no it doesn't!" part, some games have absolutely BS ways to beat the game even though you know your method would work too

OH MY GOD. He used the -same- exact (airsoft) shotgun I did in one of my recent stick figure comics... He googled "shotgun" just like I did!

Well that was the strangest opening ad i've ever seen but nice vid anyway. First part wasn't funny at all but the second half was great.

Hello Spyalt!

No I dont really have a good idea on why your posting in these forums, but Im going to take a good guess (seeing as this is my first post ;D).

While your entitled to your opinion on what you thought Yahtzee's review was like (however biased it might be), you are very negligent towards other peoples comments on this board, especially if they challenge you on your unfounded and clearly confusing remarks. Futhermore, it seems you havent quite grasped the concept on these, and have just replied back with no hint of wit and in a childlike matter which is the equivalent of "Im right, you wrong so nah".

The fact you cant even reply to some of the more intellectual remarks on your "oh so, top notch wit", shows you have no real purpose and havent even grasped the language and intellect in order to form a response to them.

Im guessing your going through a tough point in your life at the moment, but you need another outlet apart from taking it out on people in this forum, (or any forum for that matter). I cannot assume to know what your like in real life but from judging from your post you seem to not be a very nice person and possibly lacking in decent proper social skills. Just face it, your wrong, not everyone has the same tastes but one thing is true though, the only people that deserve to be flamed are people that flame others just for having an opinion.

Peace

the whole point of reviewing an older game is to inform about an older diamond, reviewing an old bad game is pointless

the review was pretty good, the humour was there though it was not as good as some other reviews he has done but all in all I liked it.

Annoying escort quests...the bane of anyone's life
Indeed. And sucky AI makes it worse. Like when the person you're supposed to escort is running ahead, then screaming complaining that someone should've told him about the gigantic monster that almost killed him.

I think he was suggesting that their criticisms are invalid because they are (presumably) otaku-esques who will fiercely defend anything Japanese-made to the death.

Not really racist... generalization, definitely.

Really? So my opinion is invalid because I chose a picture at random from my hard drive to represent myself on an online forum? What does that say about you being a bit to eager to discredit what the other side has to say?

While I may have quick-fired my original post off without coming up with supporting reasons as to what I was saying or really even what I was aiming at (for this, I apologize) I will clarify this now.

I thought the review in and of itself was godawful, mostly because it didn't seem like the Yahtzee I come here every Wednesday to in order to laugh at another one of his videos. The game overall seemed rather stupid, I'm not a huge fan of the whole 'exactly ONE solution to problem x', so I would probably not have enjoyed this game myself. But seeing as how I lack a PS3, I guess that problem is null anyway.

Otaku though, really? I would shoot myself before becoming anything remotely Otakuish.

*sigh* Snide and pathetic comments again, what on earth is happening to the escapist?
A high and mighty troll who dismisses any and all posts that do not contain his precious valid arguments has invaded the Escapist.

Although VannBlackwings put it a lot more nicely.

Never heard of this game...

I love to see innovation, though I think we all hate to see it done so poorly.
