Zero Punctuation: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

[SolArc]

I'm a "that guy" too. I play more of a pro-type of Melee. That still doesn't excuse how long this thread has gone on. It's pretty ridiculous at this point. I know people have opinions on what others have to say, but we aren't even going about this in a debate sort of way. It's just arguments being flung onto more arguments. No real points are being made and it seems to me that most of the posts in here right now are just people trying to incite a flame war. Kind of like Arella17's post: "You know people without lives (Like the ones who complain about his reviews) need to remember that there is such a thing as freedom of speech and I think unless you're playing with 10 or more people that Super Smash Brothers sucks so KEEP ON DOIN WHAT YOU DO YAHTZEE!!!!"

I have nothing against a good argument, but this is just sad at this point.

This is true. While everyone is entitled to say what they believe, being illogical and irrational about it isn't going to help the point being made. And those kind of comments have been made on both sides. It goes back to something I said a while ago. "You can just as Fanatically HATE a game as you can like it". The same goes for everything people talk about.

Unfortunately, it is the internet that allows these people to get away with saying things they would (I certainly hope) never say to a real person, normally because it would involve getting hit immediately after, or going to jail.

Plus, anything that goes over 1100 posts TWO WEEKS after it came out when it shouldn't have gone over 300 is insane.

 

[SolArc]

Indeed.

Holy crap Indigo, do you just sit in the forum, griping and sniping all day? Surely saying the same thing over and over again must get monotonous.

When did I say this before?

You've been saying the same, "MOST OF THE PEOPLE POSTING IN THIS THREAD ARE ZP FANBOYS" since the review TWO WEEKS AGO. Seriously, I don't care if I get banned for this, but... SHUT UP ALREADY.

 

[Lord_Ascendant]

Wow...........32 pages of dross not worth my time to read. This goes to show that N-fanboys will do ANYTHING to be heard. No matter how many sites they are banned from for life. And yes, SSBB is 'fun' but it isnt Portal. What were they expecting, a rave reveiw from a person who had to wait a millenium before getting this game (Australian Release dates are as horrible as he says, I looked them up.)

 

[woutervoorhees]

Yahtzee has some good points in this review
but im still going to buy this game

 

[PsychoJosh]

Wow, these comments are unnecessarily brutal towards SSB, I'm really surprised. Me and my friends have been into Super Smash since the N64 game,

GREAT NOBODY CARES SHUT UP.

 

[PartisanGerm]

Two kinds of fan boys duking it out here:

Nintendo-Tards.

Yahtzee Brown-Nosers.

I'm as disappointed with the bastardization of the SSB series as any other serious gamer.
And I'm as disgusted by the Yahtzee ass kissing as any normal gamer that realizes he just "jumped the shark" with this video.

SSBB isn't nearly as ground breaking as the original was, and it's even MORE over-done than Melee was.

Instant K.O.s are BS, everyone knows that. Cool characters required to be unlocked sucks ass, everyone knows that.

Everything you can say about SSBB is obvious, because it's practically a kids game, anyway.

 

[Alphieus]

ill take the wild assumption that yahtzee won't check this but could someone let him know that there's a mother three fan translation at "www.mother3.fobby.net/.com"

thanks

Well everyone, Since so much (finger quote) useful time has been spent on this comment section i'd finally like to try and attempt to stop the madness.

If you do not like Yahtzee's review on this game, good for you. If your trying to change peoples minds on a Forum or Comment section of a video review, you ain't. Sounds hyprocritical of me but im just trying to help those who stressed out over things like these.

P.S. Sorry for the spelling.

"What does the computer say about the number of fanboy posts?"

"It's over ONE THOUUUSSSAAAANNNDDDDD!"

 

[Rockasaurus9]

Dang, I was hoping he'd tell us who the fuck Marth is, because even I don't know.

I think he's from Fire Emblem. I know he goes hand in hand with Roy and Ike, and I know he's in a Japanese game that hasn't hit the states (or anywhere outside of Japan as far as I'm aware) yet. Hence his little victory speech in Japanese.

 

[Sigenrecht]

Marth is from Fire Emblem, a supposedly hardcore tactical RPG that really made itself known after Marth and Roy were introduced in Melee. I say 'supposedly' because I've never played the original, just Radiant Dawn, because like most games from that part of the world it never leaves the J-Pop polluted streets of Tokyo without every screaming fanboy (with his nose buried so deep into four-year-old DBZ manga you could've sworn it was a permanent Goku tatoo, of course) on the U.S. mainland calling for the blue-haired boy with the same haircut as my sister.

Maybe I'm being a bit too harsh, for Radiant Dawn did prove that the concept the series was derived from was indeed 'hardcore' and intuitive, and I don't really hate the Japanese and otaku(s?), even if personally I couldn't say if the lot of them shared these feelings, but now let's get to what I wanted to talk about:

If I could speak on the behalf of every inbred, balding primate hiding in their cellars, flailing their Wii remotes and Nintendo-emblem bearing T-shirts like fratboys at a Halo 3 game fest, I'd apologize for being such a self-righteous ass; luckily, I'm not one of them. However, Yahtzee, I am sorry that you had to suffer what must've been a literal tome of hatemail from some people who no doubt have been on the losing side of a Tic-Tac-Toe match with a chicken at some point, when they can find out how to scratch out the lines in the dirt.

 

[Siamesedragon]

Sadly enough..... I just made this account to post.....

Yahtzee is right. If your not enthralled into the SSB gamedom already, then you aren't going to become enthralled with it anytime soon. I enjoy the game, and my boyfriend plays competitively online, but we agreed with Yahtzee even though he tore the game limb from limb..... in fact for me that part was enjoyable.

 

[MrSod]

Heh, the vitriol keeps flowing... reading these comments isn't as entertaining as the video, but it is still better than most of the other drivel on the internet.
Maybe Yahtzee can review our 3 presidential candidates (in the U.S.)

 

[Ultrajoe]

Maybe Yahtzee can review our 3 presidential candidates (in the U.S.)

Or maybe he could take a tesla coil covered in Whale semen and rape my throat with it, same result.

wow, that was sudden even for me, i apologize, beg your forgiveness and finish by saying that the only thing less interesting than the results of the U.S election is watching paint dry on the acting talent of Hayden Christensen.

 

[hairdo2000]

Agree with everything he says, had a wii and sold it because no more heroes was the only decent single player game I found, have a PS3 now because unreal tournament makes me a little bit wet (love it) and a 360 because then I can save £5 everytime I buy a game because sony don't know what they are doing.
