Am I the only person in the world that truly believes that the Griffin in the Last Guardian will survive?

I mean, Team Ico is not known for it's unambiguously happy endings, but they haven't, for the sake of spoilers, killed a protagonist yet.

I mean, I definitely want to believe it's gonna live but more importantly, the evidence supported by past games point to it living or coming back to life after a close call.

TL;DR: Stop saying the poor thing is gonna die! I wont hear it! (babbles and covers his ears) I can't hear you!

No mention of Brütal Legend? I take that as a good sign because Yahtzee couldn't even attempt to criticize it, haha.

Anyone else get the feeling he's just in a bad mood? I mean while quite a few of the E3 shown games do look bad not ALL of them do. I'm looking forward to Assasins Creed 2 and The Last Guardian.

But the thing about Natal I completely agree with.
The Last Guardian ( somebody needs to teach the art guy what a griffin is and especially how one looks like )... yep... I would too... if it would be not on PS3. Potential good game on a crappy console as exclusive title = dip-shit!

That was probably the least funny ZP yet. It's a bit unfortunate to see it go the way of the Simpsons, but that lasted a good 15 years before going to shit. Yahtzee's been much more effecient about it.

There is a certain irony in the fact that the high-brow gamers (if there is such a thing) that Yahtzee very much sees himself a part of have moved on from his videos and he's been left with a crowd of the fanboys he so professes to hate.

That was the first ZP that I have actually lol'd at in a good while. (It takes a lot to make me laugh when I'm by myself).

He forgot Metroid the other M. But I can't blame him, most of us fell asleep by the time the trailer was shown, after 20 hours(relative) of casual game waggly-doo.

Fan-friggin-tastic! But what about Scribblenauts? I thought you would dig that. Everyone was shouting about it being best in show.
Scribblenauts does look awesome.
God vs Cthulu?
Sold.

re: PureChaos

Because Golden Sun (3) does not get the hype it deserves. Yet. /biased opinion

This was exactly what I needed today, thank you, Yahtzee!

Ehh I try not to get caught up in the whole console wars, both have their strengths and weaknesses, personally I have a 360 and was hoping for a ''The Last Guardian'' port to the Xbox.

And perhaps the art team was using creative licence, I mean it would be pretty boring if it was just a plain old Griffin which we've seen a hundred times wouldn't it?

Totally agree with the Nintendo section: too many Marios and a Zelda that will undoubtedly be far too similar to all the others? (On console anyway; handheld Zeldas have sucked since Gameboy Advance.)

I laughed a lot. Then agreed with the whole: "Nat-ahl", "Nay-tal" thing. I pronounce it like the second one, and it bugs me like heck when someone corrects me.

I'm always glad to see someone derailing the hype-trains of most of these games, but it feels like he's grasping at straws on some of these. I don't know anyone, for example, who thought that Assassin's Creed 2 should be in the far future, nor do I think the setting would work well.

Ah well. Still a good watch.

I haven't laughed so much in a long time, although I hope assiasns creed 2 will be just as good as the first one, favorite line was "Why the fuck does sonic still have to exist?"
