Zero Punctuation: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

[144_v1legacy]

Haha, wow, even Halo 3 didn't get this much controversy. Could it be that Nintendo fans outweigh 360 fans?!

See page 24.

I wonder if we can reach 1000 before this weeks is unvieled.

Yeah I mean it created so many new accounts, why the hell are we not at 1,000 yet?!

 

[The Thief]

It's ironic how Yahtzee made this review with the intent to shut everyone up. I wonder what his inbox looks like this week.

 

[disposable157]

I'd also be quite suprised if he's not keeping an eye on these boards...

Considering this wasn't his best video, I wonder what he's going to take from the 942 posts about this one game...

 

[talon92]

make that 943 posts. its the 11th hour, we need to pull together 57 posts ppl. whos willing to spam, raise your hand
(raises hand)
k good
no i did not join just to post here. i joined because i wanted to post on another forum. kthxbai

and yes i don't think this was his best video for reasons outlined nearly 1000 times alredy...
(not enough reasoning behind the ranting => if you hadnt read any other posts)
oh and i dont own a wii and have not played ssbb, so y the f*** am i posting here

 

[Ultrajoe]

Just because this thread gets viewed alot, anyone as well as me think moneys on GTA 4 for review next?

How can you defend jiggely ?? havent played brawl yet but jiggely sucked in melee.. The only good thing that fluff ball could do was to fall asleap next to someone, which was only possible to do in multiplayer since nobody cared what the fluff ball did.. Kirby kicks fluffballs ass!! Rant rant rant, rant rant.. RANT..... rant.

 

[disposable157]

I think Jiggly is a waste of space BUT he/she/it (I don't know my pokemon) is quite fun to play with. Mainly because of his/her/its taunts and his/her/its prediliction for shouting "PUFF" when bashing someone.

For the casual gamer, he/she/it's next to worthless against someone better, except as a fun character to play with. I'm told though that if you take the time to master him/her/it, there are some incredibly powerful moves at your disposal if you use them correctly. Apprantly the move where Jiggly falls asleep is hugely powerful. I've never managed to pull it off though.

I'm sad to say this is the first Zero Punctuation review I didn't enjoy. not because I feel the need to defend my Wii purchase, I'm well aware the modest white obelisk has been gathering dust since a week after Resident Evil 4 was released on it and I got tired of rescuing the president's daughter on a jetski - a scenario I never imagined would grow tiresome before performing it but twice.

Sadly, the review swayed further from vitriolic mockery of the games flaws and more to what I feel was rather unnecessary hatred for the game, the console, fans of the game and people who visit the Escapist once a week to hear some well-connected words they can then proceed to abuse verbatim until the next pussy-slurping installment. I felt as though I was some sort of bottom-feeding, scum-sucking waste of human life for daring to click the play button and can't help but feel offended by this unwarranted assault even though I fall squarely outside the target area of this verbal bombardment.

then dont watch the review you twat! Why in gods name does people like you even bother to write a reply? you surely most have known that Yatzee would not curl up in loveball with this game so how can you be offended, seriously!
Do you watch comedy shows and complain about them making fun of stuff...
some people are just beond help and comprehension!

BTW enjoyed the review =D

 

[disposable157]

Two things, Jarnis.

1) Kermi had to watch the review to find out that it was going to be vitriolic and filled with unnesecerry criticism so you saying "don't watch the review you twat!" is an argument which is nonsensical as well as being overly agressive and petulant.

2) Yahtzee is popular because we are here. We the fans. That includes trolls like your good self. He was not made popular by mindless ranting about subjects with no real relevance, he was made popular by making humerous observations about games shortcomings that other reviewers often felt the need to ignore. When he strays from this form, as he may or may not have done in his SSB review, we have every right to say "er, hang on a minute..."

You have to stop the patronizing my friend. It's obvious we all come here because we LIKE Yahtzee's reviews, but, and this is because he is HUMAN after all, he is not ALWAYS right. In fact I often find him to be wrong in a lot of things; it's because of his sense of humor that we just laugh at these "mistakes", but these "mistakes" will be pointed out by some every once in a while and no matter how big of a fan you are (very big one I imagine, telling by how you lashed out at our fellow escapist member) you have to take it like the rest of us.

 

[owosso]

I was watching this with my brother, and when you described THAT GUY, he just starts loudly saying my name. I have to admit, I'm a Nintendo fanboy, as well as THAT GUY, and you pretty much nailed it.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

48 more....oh, and Jigglypuff rules. Not my favorite, but she can be effective if you learn how to use her.

 

[Frostpaw]

At least you dont have any Wii-mote failing like you did in Zack & Wiki review ;P Keep up the great work ranting out the points that game companies always overlook, as for Mario, your right on how nintendo uses him too much. Ha I havent really played a mario game since the originals on teh super nintendo.

 

[disposable157]

On that subject, I was quite suprised that SSB didn't have any wiimote gestures but considering how much of a disaster they were in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, that's probably a good thing.

 

[Singing Gremlin]

Ack, I don't think this is gonna make 1000. 45 to go and his next review should come up shortish. I dunno, maybe we'll get a late influx...

 

[Saskwach]

Don't worry Gremlin, I'll help.

(an unavoidable Final Smash that gives yourecovery and weapons? hello?).

You can easily dodge out of it if you know the timing. And it only yields items if items go into the pot to begin with.

Nah, impossible, GTA only reached the stores yesterday or so, it's not enough time to try out a game and prepare a review.
