Zero Punctuation: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

[Sylocat]

LET THIS FUCKING DIE.

No force in the universe will stop Yahtzee fanboys from mindlessly yes-manning him and repeating everything he says, and then complaining about persecution from a nonexistent army of Nintendo fanboys. And the mods won't lock this thread because they've realized that Yahtzee's drama whoring brings in more site traffic.

Yahtzee was absolutely totally WRONG about brawl.

Brawl is not a game you need to take serious and it was one of the few games I actually enjoyed playing as of late. Call me fan boy or whatever you want but the point is I have friends, competitive ones to booth and nothing is more fun than whooping their ass while Link punches the stupid out of Bowser and Luigi is fighting Falcon in a climactic Knee battle.

This mostly resulting in a Hilarious victory dance by friend B immediately followed by sarcasm from friends C and D. Fighting games should not be about fighting it is about humiliating the other people you are playing with and I believe people forget that.

Besides I have always wanted to slap Sonic for over 15 hours long for making horrible game after horrible game.

 

[that guy 2000]

I dunno i used play this with my siblings and it was pretty good, we still play from time to time for nostalgia but their are much better games out now

the super smash series really seems like a series of expansions to me. only, worse because for every bit of content they add, they take some away. I don't actually own any super smash games, or for that matter a nintendo console, all of my friends do, and so throughout the years I've gotten enough practice on Mr. Game and Watch (my favorite character) that useing him I can beat a friend of mine while using him. It should be known that my friend not only owns this game, but as soon as it came out took a couple of days off school and spent every minute playing through every facet of the game he could find. he has literally days of gameplay hours on ssbb alone. which is exactly what yahtzee was talking about.

Haha, you funny fanboy.

Here's the problem: Most of the people who post crap here ether narrow-mindedly love or hate a game or just simply do not have great comprehension skills; public school system cries.

People who say, "Haha, screw this into the ground Yahtzee!" Can't think past their dire rage towards this game and people who say, "I HATE you Yahtzee! You suck at reviewing and you should quit your job!" Can't think past their dire love towards this game. I conclude that both of these people simply can't understand the actual review. So I will go ahead and tell them, slowly and with big caps:

IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR, OR ARE JUST GENERALLY FAMILIAR, WITH THE GAME SERIES, YOU WILL THINK OF THIS GAME AS A GIGANTIC, "MEH."

IF YOU ARE A FANBOY, YOU WILL BE "RELEASING" YOURSELF THROUGH EVERY ORIFICE IN YOUR BODY, INCLUDING YOUR EYEBALLS, EVERY CHANCE SOMEONE MENTIONS THIS GAME.

I See He's Still Doin' AWESOME REVIEWS

 

[Dramatic Flare]

Ike is far overpowered in this game, but as someone else mentioned.
It's very easy to get into. Nothing special, but fun at parties.

If you'd been paying attention, you'd know that I don't have a problem with Yahtzee having his own opinion. He's entitled to that, and I don't think he should quit his job just because I disagree with him.

My problem is: Over the whole course of this thread and the mailbag showdown, the Yahtzee fanboys (who mindlessly parrot every single one of his views as a substitute for having their own opinions) have outnumbered the SSBB fanboys by about a 3 to 1 margin... and have STILL been claiming that they are relentlessly persecuted by an overwhelming mob of Brawl fanboys. At least three consecutive pages in here have NOTHING but posts praising Yahtzee and agreeing with him, and half of THEM are telling the masses upon masses of Brawl fanboys they seem to think are flooding this forum to stop whining. It's embarrassing watching this overwhelming majority claim they're being oppressed.

And for the record, there are a lot of people who have never played this series who pick up Brawl and adore it, and there are plenty of people who loved the previous games who are complaining about every last detail to do with Brawl.

 

[yourbeliefs]

I think this game had the exact opposite effect. I had very little experience with SSB before this one, but bought it anyways after the overwhelming good reviews it got (yes, bad bad me.) I thoroughly enjoyed it, but after a while it started to collect dust on my shelf while I played other games. After reading this review though it made me remember how much fun the game could be and got me back into it to try and unlock a few of those lingering ones that are actually achievable.

 

[TAGM]

I agree with you, Yahtzee. I've never been a fan of fighting games, but I brought melee (The one before brawl) For £19.99, And spent around 9 MONTHS playing it.
Now, I pay around £40.00 for brawl and get about 3 days. Something's wrong here, No buts about it.

 

[Doug]

How? How did this thread spring back to life?

DIEEEE! By fire, be purged, undead minion!

 

[Tharticus]

I agree. Let this thread die. It's 2009, not 2008. Seriously, both ZP fans and SSB fans really need to find an agreement or something. I play SSBB for 2 months, and I'm done with the game already. It's a fighting genre that Mr. Croshaw doesn't like. Plus he labels Nintendo as a company who still uses their own franchises as the only way to survive.

Seriously, get it over with other people's opinions.

 

[DragonsAteMyMarbles]

As much as it should, this thread will never die. There'll always be drunken or caffeinated Nintendo fanboys/fangirls (I know one such girl who decided writing Ike/Marth slash fiction was a good idea, shame on her) who'll bang on about it until forty-seven years after the apocalypse.

(Yes, I do realise I'm causing the thread to survive simply by replying to it, and for that I unreservedly apologise)

Obviously the only reason I play SSBB is to relieve stress by beating Pikachu to a bloody pulp.

 

[Safe-Keeper]

OK, so I loved it when the SSBB review got twice as many comments than the other reviews, when Yahtzee received so much hate-mail he felt he had to counterattack with a whole movie devoted to nothing but...

...but then I see that this is still ongoing, that 14 year old fanboys are STILL coming on her flaming the heck out of a review over a year old?

This isn't funny anymore, fanboys, you're starting to scare me.

 

[maxrox54]

I agree whole-heartedly with Yahtzee, because my friends are like, OH YEAH!!! we are sooooo good at brawl, and then I remind them that saying your good at brawl is like saying I'm really good at going to the bathroom!!! Brawl should have never been shipped!

 

[Cendoo]

I was a fan boy and I was disopointed with Brawl so go Yahtzee

 

[holyknight234]

I'm not a Nintendo fanboy, heck I hate Mario.
But I liked Brawl. It was a very good game
But this review was funny, and I loved this review XD
