Uh, no. he said 'asperger' - as in Asperger's Syndrome.Magmarock said:
I disagree with the review that some of you thought you saw. I saw a different review.
I saw Yahtzee give the game a chance - and he found it to be somewhat amusing and fun despite its obvious problems. I think that he gave it bonus points for a moment of spontaneous fear and tension, and that may have colored other bits of the review.
[Also I think he played the game in one day, then wrote/made the review in a sleep-deprived state immediately afterwards. So that he could spend 10-12 days playing BI.]
Having said that, I wouldn't give this game the time of day on account of all of the other games that it has borrowed from (and then squandered those good ideas). I'm also annoyed at Yahtzee for not making the same call. Just last week he was making the "Steam bath" joke, and the game 'Organ Trail' was on sale all last week. You would actually have had to ignore the Steam store completely for about 14 days to not know anything about it (though I grant that could happen - I check daily to see what's on sale). Worse still is the fact that the terrible ending with 'a turret-zombie' set piece is almost definitely borrowed from another game - the great old Zombie Half-Life mod 'They Live'. [A set piece which was also borrowed by Valve and placed prominently in Half-Life 2, during the beach outpost fights just before Nova Prospekt.] Its just amazing that they can borrow so much material, screw it up with bad implementation, terrible graphics, a tiny number of level designs, awful AI, buggy code, and then somehow get a big publisher to release it. This game should have been aborted, and its existence insults my sense of propriety.
