Zero Punctuation: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions

[foodstamps_lobster]

Obviously you don't keep up with comics Yahtzee, and probably for the best. Because recently Batman (Bruce Wayne)has been traveling through time after supposedly dying. And now seems to be getting all the bat people together to form a giant club. If you have a strong urge to feel retarded after reading something, look it up.

Thank you for saying this so that I didn't have to.

You can ignore the retardation that goes on in DC and Marvel all you want. Nothing wrong with that. But saying "X character is so stupid compared to Y" is completely taking out of account all of the things you've chosen to forget. I love Batman, but he's been handled just as stupidly and poorly as any other comic character.

Just hurry up and review New Vegas already...

You might want him to put it off until they patch it.

So i take it you'd rather receive a nice stack of DC comics than a nice stack of Marvel comics.

Also, claiming the Spiderman ideas and marvel ideas are about 20 times more for fetched than everything, i have one word for you:

Superman.

 

[RTR]

Yahtzee as a dominatrix?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHH NOW I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD!!

 

[ucciolord1]

The last bit was beautiful.

So...I'm not the only one who has funny thoughts on Stan Lee?

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

Yahtzee's really went full on, on this one !

 

[Tempest13]

I think this can be summed up quite easily...It's not Spider man 2, now go cry in a corner.

"spiders are slow"

A few people have touched on this already, but we have wolf spiders around where I live and those suckers are fast. A wolf spider is around 2 cm in size and can run at 40cm/s, or 20 times its body size. For a 5'6" human, that would be 110 feet per second, or 75 mph. I'd guess that it varies greatly from spider to spider, though, and that "spider speed" is about as consistent as "mammal speed".

Loved the analogy at the end. Sucks that we've still yet to get a really good spider man game, hell sucks we've yet to get any good comic based game save for the obvious arkham asylum.

I was hoping for Sonic 4. I would've like to hear your two cents on that. This was still good though.

 

[gphjr14]

Spider Man noir bore too much resemblance to Batman AA but still I think it would've been a good game on its on or the futuristic spider man would've.

Also lol at the end with spiderman at the computer watching porn

 

[Kinokohatake]

At what point did it become mandatory for Spider-Man to have to punch a random guy more than once? This guy can bend screw drivers with a finger!

 

[bladeleaper]

I used to have that Linkin Park poster. lol

 

[ezeroast]

actually proportionally a huntsman spider could run the 100 meters in about 5 or 6 seconds.
great review though

 

[chaos order]

i sorta liked the game but ya it was REALLY REALLY SAMEY. but its worth it for the bombastic bag man costume if i knew how to post a pic i would

 

[Kurokami]

spiderman, the new mario?

I was thinking more along the lines of Sonic

 

[lewism247]

Spider-man 2 not only had good web-swinging, it had Bruce Campbell calling you a moron the whole time. I don't think it would have been nearly as good without him.

Wait what?

Where was Bruce campbell?

OP:Nice episode as usual.

When I heard about the game I thought the premise was a bad idea. seems my assumption was correct.

Yahtzee, you magnificent bastard! Long time watcher (since your Youtube days, actually) but I just registered here to comment on this video.

First of all I'm glad you haven't lost any of your quick wit after so many reviews. I'm always impressed at the pace you manage to keep up in your videos. Also you are still great at the visual puns and your completely unique similes and insults which have always been a strong-point of your work. However, I do wish you'd comment more on the particulars of the game like you've done in your other works-detailing the scene from your recent Amnesia: Dark Descent commentary is a good example.

But none of that has to do with why I wanted to comment on this episode in particular. So without further ado: "The Gideon Bible?" Really? Really?! Why...how do you know about that? Look, I can get behind you on "the hardest difficulty" because that was hilariously awesome and I can see you stumbling across that pic on Google by accident. But listen, with as much knowledge of eldritch abominations you must have to have made your series of games, you of all people should know to stay away from something like this. Get out now while you still can!
