Zero Punctuation: The Second Annual E3 Hype Massacre
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
You wouldnt be an FPS fan would you? Its just Id have to assume that to make such a bone headed assumption you would have to play the type of game where the SOLE purpose is lining up a crosshair with a virtual enemy and pulling the trigger. Over and over. For. The. Entire. Game.Astropunk said:
Trust me, if anyone has the crown for needless clone of games with tiresome mechanics, nobody is taking that crown from the FPS (or more accurately I suppose, Shooter).
I hate to say this but this video really devolved into more of a lame rant than anything else. While sure, it is funny to make fun of those people who complain about everything which comes out, this sounds more like you ARE one of those people who complains about everything that ever comes out. Now, I know this is your job, but it is your job to be funny about it, rather than being funny in the way they are.
The second half of the video, thus, was pretty unsuccessful in my eyes. While going through and saying something witty about every game would be amusing, mostly it was pretty much stuff which had already been said, and therefore wasn't really worth saying again.
E3 is pretty stupid, but just making the most obvious jokes about each game is not what I watch ZP for.

Oh yeah. So many choices. No Trademark stuff though. So sad. Watching Mario and Mickey Mouse being dropped into a shark tank would have satisfied the angry voices in my head.Name Not Found said:
When he said that the Guardian will die at the end of the game, I immediately thought of PA's similar insight in their comic. But I didn't consider him a rip off, I just thought it was a coincidence. I'm happy he brought that up, though.
Yahtzee, you r a genius. You make fun of everything, including yourself making fun of things
i.e. Bayonetta.

bull.fucking.shit
calling on sequel shit only based on the fact that it is a sequel is probably the most retarded thing you can do. Yes gaming is a industry, welcome to the real world where a thing called money exist and where games don't cost 2000$ anymore to make like they did 20 years ago and every fucking no talent looser could make his own game, hell they can still do that, just that most poeple don't give a shit about them anymore.
yes game developers and publishers want to make money, ofcourse they fucking want to, they have a life and bills to pay too. Game companies do what everyone else would do, they release sequels that are a garanty for them to get money and not get bancrupt AND they release new IPs on top, that are usualy more risky, look at brutal legent, dante's inferno, batman:AA, section 8, borderlands, bayonetta, darksiders, the saboteur etc etc, there have been tons of new IPs at E3 and with the current economy and the cost of making a game each of these games presents a very big risk to the publisher and developer, just beacose you (or better said your character) are too stuck up in your own ass to aknowledge that fact (beacose face it, ranting about how there are only sequels brings you more money) doens't mean these games aren't there. Will they be bad or great? I don't fucking know and won't know until they are released

but they did make Ninja Gaiden, which is unbelieveably awesome. So it's on the fence.WolfmanNougat said:
I would like to point out is that Metal Gear Rising is coming for 360 and not PS3, but i still could care less. And i agree about the Assassins Creed 2 thing. I want to traverse cityscapes, but no i have to try not to fall into the Venice river. Beatles Rock Band is the worst idea in history. I mean come on! It's like hitting a long note every freakin 5 or 10 seconds. Riveting!!! I still hope that some other games such as Modern Warfare and Mas Effect 2 will see the light and actually do something different. If not, then i officially agree that everybody is shi*!
Very true. Considering Samus hasn't been given a gratuitous inflation, we can assume they'll be focusing on the NG route... with lasers and morph ballsFinalGamer said:
