Fret not, I have had completely opposing opinions than Yahtzee's before and I'm still looking forward to his ranty reviews. reviewing rants. rantviews.Legion said:The only part I agree with is the problem with the enemies all ignoring Ellie. In stealth situations having her happily run around and Clickers not even noticing was a little jarring.
The smoke bomb part I agree that they are useless, but not because they are not necessary, it's just that they don't seem to work properly. The enemy never stopped firing at me when I threw them either when it was at their feet or at mine.
The rest of it I couldn't agree with less. It seemed like complaining for the sake of it and/or deliberately missing the point.
Currently, I would believe that The Last of Us and the general portrayal of post-mushroom-apocalypse totally rubs him the wrong way. The portrayal of the Fireflies is also something that is bound to not feel alright for Yahtzee. Yahtzee is not a gamer like every other gamer.
He is a fragile flower, growing unprotected in a shit brown world made of shit. He does not like it, but it's the poop that powers his super powers. That's one of the reasons that make him shine and stand out. Then, there is his way with words, which is remarkable and entertaining. He's taken the political edge out of his reviews and does a damn good job, but his convictions and values do shine through from time to time, as they do here. It's nothing personal. It just prevents him from seeing the true value and beauty of The Last of Us.
There will be other games, and hopefully more ramblomatic reviews.
