Zero Punctuation: The Sims 3

[Samoftherocks]

The Sims is also great for post-breakup therapy. I recreated my ex-wife eight times over, knowing that they would hate each other, put them in a large room with metal grate floors, a toilet inaccessabily walled into the middle of the room save for a small window that the bitches could use to see it, food right next to it (also walled off with ***** viewing window), and one impossible to use stove.

I would sit and watch their pain so virtually elequent, pixels streaming down there faces, sleeping in their own eFilth, until finally, one of the viscious harpies would sidle up to the stove and set the whole place aflame. Fire slowing creeping towards them until they had no where else to go and burning burning BURNING until my anger was satisfied.

Then the meds would kick in...

I am glad to see the women bashing. In my quite humble opinion there isn't enough women bashing...ever.

I don't think women need bashing, men just need to think more. Myself included...

there I put my two cents in on that topic, and that's all i'm gonna say so don't quote me.

I'm quoting you because you told me not to. What are you going to do about that? Nothing thats right. Back in the corner slave! Next man I see defending women in this thread gets gutted. Yarr!

Sir! You forget yourself! I challenge you to a duel! with, umm, rubber chickens! Draw your fowl and face me, unless ye be a coward!

 

[VincentX3]

I agree at the women thing at the end, in every detail!










almost....

 

[Yazacoo]

Aw poor yahtzee, he got burned.

There there, us lady folk aren't all manipulative evil things!
have a hug!
*hugs

(BWA HA AH AHA HAAA HAAA)

Could've sworn this was supposed to be a Sims 3 review, not a Sims review. Also, the humor was lacking. I was expecting something absolutely funny. Sigh, it seems plain vitriol isn't enough to entertain me anymore. Well, that's a few minutes of my life spirited away watching that below-average video. The only thing I learned about The Sims 3 from that review is the missing content to be released later.

 

[Inarticulate_Underachiever]

The throat infection made him speak slower and he was easier to understand than normal but this video is pretty much what Zero Punctuation has become, a humourless rant on games just for the sake of ranting although Yahtzee still does bring up some good points.

Basically he's lost interest in Zero Punctuation because it's just like any other job, it becomes a complete grind once the honeymoon period is over and Zero Punctuation's honeymoon period was over a long long time ago.

Yahtzee's on the descent and I think both he and his viewers know it. His contract with The Escapist is probably finished sometime this year and I think Yahtzee is now just going to make videos as part of his contractual obligations rather than as something he enjoys doing so I expect to see a very noticeable decline in quality until he eventually leaves The Escapist.

I also don't know if anything if Yahtzee's personal life has affected his mindset during this video, whether it is disputes with The Escapist or the end of his relationship with his long-term girlfriend but he seemed unfocused and spiteful.

Summer games drought... to be fair there is Red Faction: Guerilla, Overlord 2, The Conduit and a few others you could have ripped apart

Red Faction: Guerilla=(cheap) Doom Remake
Overlord 2= Medieval Sims 3(with the specific purpose to be evil)
The Conduit= Another(yawn) shooter

Yes, I am also sad there are no Trilby hats. Maks me kindof sad, I can't make a Yahtzee and torture him.

Red Faction: Guerilla a "cheap Doom remake" O_O

What on Earth do you mean? Red Faction is a 3rd person game that plays on a high amount of physics and destructive environment and Doom is a classic FPS about demons on Mars. The only similarity is that they are both set on Mars... I hardly think that counts as a remake. Or else CoD would be a remake of International Superstar Soccer '98 for N64 because they are both set on planet Earth.

+1 to that and

Overlord 2= Medieval Sims 3(with the specific purpose to be evil)

Exactly the same as red faction. You can click your mouse (on a pc) and minions go where you want. And that's all that's the same between those two games. And to rephrase it as the previous poster... It's like C&C and COD you click in both games.

 

[RedPanda]

Whow...I never thought of it that way and now since he told us I actually believe him...

Are we rly the puppets? Cause we satisfy their needs and that w.e we want they have to obey us as slaves? This game IS EVIL o_o!!! Lol!!!

 

[civver]

We have to do game objectives. That means we are the puppets of the games, amirite?

 

[minarri]

I liked the "You are the slave" bit, since it's quite true, but overall I think that this week's review was a tad gross.

 

[Cyrax023]

yeah so basicly iv never commented on any of ZP's vidoes dispite having watched them since he was just a youtube gittersnipe with a couple of yellow swatches. (i still love the Fable review)

anyway im just going to say that this review keeps up the usual standard of quoteability that makes ZP just so addicting.

i myself have stolen his style of videomaking (even though i made a movie about World War I in almost the same exact movie style in 2006), and have made several videos that if Yahtzee ever saw and commented on, i would piss myself simply so i could say i did.

...... well thats embarrassing.

anyway, well done Yahtzee. keep up the excllent work of makeing excllent reviews. i think your awesome, and wish you the best.

........ you have failed to resond to all 4 of my fan mails, but thats ok. i'll asume your busy with being awesome or something.

 

[Panda Mania]

Ah, Yahtzee, you make me laugh. I would have been offended at your misogynist rant at the end, but I learned long ago that, with ZP, nothing is worth getting worked up about.

Wish he'd review The Path. I know it's only for PC, but so was the Sims...his thoughts on it could be unfair and/or untrue, but they're guaranteed to be fularious.

 

[similar.squirrel]

I thought he was losing his touch for a few episodes there, but Yahtzee's made a comeback. Great review. Probably one of my favourites so far.

 

[Yahtzee Croshaw]

Yay! I liked that one again. For me, the last few reviews weren't that great, but this one was finally really funny again. Then again, the Sims make it easy to mock them.

Yes, I play the Sims, and yes, I am well aware of the irony... but for some odd reason, a simplified version of real-life routine filled with caricatures raving on and on in an incomprehensible tongue is far more fun to me than the real real-life routine.

 

[Raykuza]

Pfft. Any heterosexual male knows that women are evil, and the only way to escape that without reverting to homosexuality is to become a sadistic, smelly introvert. Yahtzee doing a good job as always.

 

[wewontdie11]

Little too much personal detail in that one I think. But he's only stating what most blokes should already know by the end of puberty.

I also don't know if anything if Yahtzee's personal life has affected his mindset during this video, whether it is disputes with The Escapist or the end of his relationship with his long-term girlfriend but he seemed unfocused and spiteful.

How is that any different from normal?

 

[IntoxicatedKnight]

Yahtzee as brilliant as ever.
