Zero Punctuation: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions

[ender003]

Ah, a religion bash early in... way to stay on-topic, Yahtzee.

But I guess you're fine with all the other things he bashes then, right? Or you would have told him to stay on topic when he brought them up too.

Note to Yahtzee: New Vegas is out, not sure you caught it in your quest to play obscure mediocre bound-to-be-shit games.

Not sure if you noticed but that game literally just came out. Maybe you'd prefer him to make a video of what he thinks the game might be like without actually playing it? How do you expect him to play through the game and make a humorous video about it before the game is even out?

I looked at the plot for this game on Wikipedia and told myself, "Oh man. Yahtzee's going to tear this game to pieces (just like with any other mediocre game he's reviewed)." Turns out I was right

I was hoping he would spend more time on the web swinging/zipping aspect. To me it just felt unresponsive, and clumsy. Same with wall crawling, when you finally are able to stick to the wall anytime you turn a corner the camera freaks out and you end up changing directions like a leaf in a tornado.

That being said I still beat it over Fall Break and actually enjoyed it, I just wish the developer would have spent a little more time on the controls.

Basically nailed what I was thinking: Deadpool level was serious fun and noir was a big disappointment when they made you start fighting everyone instead of being stealth.

Newton's pendulum, is the name of the clacky balls thing.

I always thought they were called Newton's Cradle.

It's called that too.

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.

Bruce Campbell was the narrator in all three movie tie-in games, teaching you how to do everything and calling you an idiot.

So, Yahtzee, I see you never read any of the silver age Batman comics. As bad as this sounds, they don't compare to some of the shit that came out of the silver age of DC comics.

 

[Neferius]

Hey! ...I'm sorry, I mean Oi!
How-come this Video doesn't get featured on the front-page?

NO FAIR Escapist

 

[MorkFromOrk]

I was actually really looking forward to the Spider-Man Noir bit but alas it seems the game is made of epic fail.

Are you going to review Enslaved: Odyssey to the west? Its story is great, but you can totally go awol on its hand-holdy-ness.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Just hurry up and review New Vegas already...

Aw, is wibble deadpool have his feelings hurt by Yahtzee... what are you getting out of your jac-

O.O

WAIT, NO-

*Bang*

Ah, a religion bash early in... way to stay on-topic, Yahtzee.

God forbid his humorous reviews have humor in them.

Besides, if Religion wasn't so stupid, he wouldn't have the material to make said comment.

Oh look, another religion basher >_> How original.

Anyways, good review, wasn't really expecting much from this game, I really don't see how they haven't just continued making them like Spiderman 2, that was one of the best games I've ever played.

i didnt realise his opinion was "unorigonal"
and at least they are trying something new.i mean if they just realeased every single spidey game the same then ud get tired of it.granted this venture sorta failed doesnt mean u should discorage them from trying new things

 

[Megamonmon]

There is no Spiderman anymore.

This killed it [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man:_One_More_Day]

What Yahtzee reviewed was just an another attempt to make it not suck.

One More Day was only made more hilariously bad by the following attempt to pick up the pieces.

the sooner joe quesada gets his hands slapped away from the storyboard the better

 

[Chibz]

Wow, another zero-credibility review. I wonder if he bothered to actually play the game this time.

 

[BunnyKillBot]

First half of the video was a bit slow but more than made up for it at the close.

 

[Irish Rover Baird]

Out of every spiderman game I've every played, spiderman 2 is still my favorite. Mainly because it had the awesome websling-around-the-city-catching-balloons-for-little-kids function (duh!).
So I don't think I'll like this one either.
But (!) I will give it a try.

 

[Tinneh]

Oh my God, the ending comic was funnier than the entire video, which was already pretty funny.

 

[Shia-Neko-Chan]

Freaking Yahtzee...

The joke about future spider-man's suit almost made me choke on my soda...

"radioactive tomato ketchup"

 

[mptothedc]

Nice cone tits

He's made this point before but for God's sake why is it so difficult for game designers to realize what a GOOD game is, and then update if for new technology and graphics without ruining it entirely? Prince of Persia, Spiderman, and the constantly mentioned Silent Hill have all had one EXCELLENT game that got everything right. On old platforms. Is it too much to ask that a designer simply slap a new shiny coat of new-platform-technology paint on the old game and make another awesome game?
