Both actually. Sure, the nudity mods were badly done, but they were out on release day.Jennacide said:
I wonder if the "no, no, no, no, no!" was about reviewing Assassin's Creed 2.9 before Serious Sam 3 along with a refusal to do another gimmicky set of reviews. After all, Serious Sam 3 came out about a week ago, so it's within Yatzee's schedule to play it this week before the review two weeks from now.
Also, I'm surprised Yatzee didn't go "mage" again, like he did in WoW. When I eventually get Skyrim (I guess I'll wait for next summer), I'll make the wolves chew OTHER PEOPLE'S "stirrups" off with resurrection (or restoration, or whatever the zombie-generating spell is called).

This was actually one of the reviews that just made me LOL more than usual, he was really on his A game for it. I honestly love skyrim, but i gotta say the biggest flaw it had was character creation, which was almost a carbon copy of mass effect 2.
This game scares me away because it just seems so dense, and I've got the nasty habit of playing the games before if I didn't. Wish I had time for something like this but Zelda seems more important now.
Sometimes those crazy glitches are part of the charm though. I saw them a lot in Fallout 3. I'd enter a building or fast travel somewhere and a random corpse would drop out of the sky for no reaason. There was also a time in Rivet City where I saw a guy running around in a panic for no reason. Then he ran off the edge of a platform and plummeted to his death, which was oddly hilarious.
Next thing you know you have a bunch of people in tents outside your house as part of the "Occupy Megaton" movement.THEoriginalBRIEN said:
Not in the sense that if Yahtzee says jump I jump, but because I was on the fence about it and a lot of the reviews I read either didn't mention those specific aspects of Oblivion that hacked me off or were kind of vague about it so it was hard to tell whether any improvements had been made. But Yahtzee hated those aspects of Oblivion too, to the fact that he commented that they had been improved and that his review was generally positive is high praise indeed. I'm crazy picky about games I like, and most reviewers aren't as annoyingly specific as me, whereas Yahtzee seems to look for similar stuff in a game and is super-critical so for stuff like this I find his reviews to be a good yardstick as well as hilarious.anthony87 said:
Yeah, I was confused myself at first. Personally I was hoping he'd trash it so this would be one of the new releases that I could put on the back burner, but between this, the graphical improvements and that hour I played this game at my mate's, I think Skyrim might be the first Elder Scrolls game I can actually get into.Da Orky Man said:
Oh and by the way, I picked the Imperial route at the start, but for very solid reasons. Because if during a dragon disaster I'm made to choose between a bunch of prisoners dressed scantily in fur and a bunch of Roman legionaries in full armour, I know who I'm sticking with.
Tee hee, I remember that. I wonder if Yahtzee is actually an avid watcher of Gamefails.BX3 said:
Man this review was spot on. Especially about the potions, the shopkeepers never having enough gold, that one impossibly hard enemy at the end of a dungeon, and your trusty bloodthirsty horse. The only other thing to mention is how frequent the dragon attacks are. It drives me nuts having to fight one every 15 minutes.
Probably just to spite those who love interaction with human beings who are not within slapping range.Zachary Amaranth said:
Hehehe, that's the only way to play a fighting game.
