Never heard of this game, but it's a good video ^_^. Hopefully I'll know what the review for next week is about lol.
NO GUILT! HE'S A NAZI!
Best line ever.
Sniper Elite V2 has the best option ever. The option to shoot someone through the testicles. Who doesn't like a bit of nut busting? Also, the serial killer with a rifle idea changes things up a bit. For the better of course.

I could never get into Sniper games, the only sniping I'm somewhat good at is playing Sniper class in TF2.
I can't agree enough about the World War II games sentiment. I revisited World at War not so long ago and I found that engaging and memorable and much, much better a shooter than I had remembered. I guess at the time of release I was caught up in "OH WORLD WAR TWO WAAH WAAAH WISH IT WAS SET IN A FUTURE".
Also: not one mention of slow-motion X-ray testicle exploding makes me think Yahtzee either thought it wasn't worth mentioning, or he never came across it or tried it - both of which are things that make me think less of him as a human being. For shame, Mr Croshaw.

He mentions it in the credits and says you don't.fanklok said:
Killing Hitler was a pre-order bonus only, wasn't it?
I never complain about Yahtzee's reviews, but any review of Sniper Elite V2 is woefully incomplete without dwelling on the super slow-mo, x-ray cam, testicle shatter sequences. As fall as I can tell, that's the single biggest draw of this game.
Last bits of jokes seemed kind of bland (since they can be built anywhere I guess, lololol dickjokes out of nowhere don't exactly rely on making fun of a game), but video was funny as a whole.
Personally I thought the game was extremely dull and repetitive, especially with the unbelievable health regen making it really damn hard to die on any difficulty level. The gore shot gimmick is interesting at first, but after replaying a demo for some time you pretty much got the whole experience in my opinion.
Story is really bland (oh look we must stop the not-a-nuke), characters are pretty much nonexistent, it's invisible-wall-level linear. Tutorial took that up to eleven.
Plus the AI was so balls-to-the-walls stupid you basically got no enjoyment out of stealthily outsmarting them. At least in Thief: Deadly Shadows the AI was so stupid it was hilarious again, and if they found you they could still knock a considerable amount off your health bar before you can initiate countermeasures.
I like how they made sniping on harder difficulties a bit more skill-requiring and by extension more rewarding when you blow up a group by shooting a grenade like it's a pinto, but between that and the killcam novelty there was nothing about this game that struck me as worthwhile.

Never understood what's engaging about that Freudian excitement. Guess I'm really not this game's target audience.Qitz said:
