"...shorter than a documentary on French war heroes..." That bit made me laugh pretty hard.
Good review, pretty much explains why I haven't played a Tomb Raider game since TR2. As Yahtzee says, it's the same game, over and over and over and over and over and...

ive lost faith in humanity too, but that was years ago, now i just stay in my room like a sad little hermit watching your vids XDD
i still like tomb raider, but i think thats because i still have memorys of my mum kicking ass on the old versions, and i wish she could start playing them again, but she doesnt like the new moves

The constant stream of ZP watchers who assault the otherwise peaceful forums every wednesday make it hard to ignore the effects of ZP. That and those of us who have been following for awhile, like all longtime fans of anything, are sad when things appear to be getting staid and samey when they were once fresh and exciting.GIdub said:
THANK you Pedro. I wanted to jump all over this comment, but I knew I couldn't do it positively (ESPECIALLY with that ridiculous 'tl;dr' comment). Some new people just don't get it. But you, sir Pedro (Yeah, I totally knighted you), are the calming voice of...calm.PedroSteckecilo said:
Eh, I see what NC's saying, and I would certainly love Yahtzee to use some of the old-fashioned esoteric vocabulary and surprising intelligence present in the classics, but Hell, it's still funny.
I still look forward to every Wednesday.

God knows if he is right or not, I havent played a Tomb Raider game sence the original playstation. But with even the games with that system were very similer to what he is saying.
Why do I have the feeling that NewClassic just copypasted his post, because it's hard to believe he watched a 5 minute review AND managed to write a post this long?
Want better reviews? Find him better games that come out in Australia. Or buy and send him one.
Also, I find it strange that someone is saying that "a review is getting staid and samey" when Yahtzee is reviewing a Tomb Raider game when the last one was merely a year and a half ago. If anything, the game is "staid and samey".
This is one of the last paragraphs of the rant. How can you know if this video is using a lot of "too obvious jokes" if you, with any luck and super-human reflexes, would have finished watching the review the second you started writing a post? And that's, again, assuming you did watch it before you posted.

Kudos to Yahtzee on giving us all of the bosom humor we were dined in his review of Tomb Raider Anniversary as well as some new bits - "Being a spider rocks!" made me giggle.
And Kudos to NewClassic for an interesting and well-delivered counterpoint to the mindless fanboyism that these threads usually devolve into. I don't necessarily see anything wrong with Yahtzee leaning more towards humor than reviews, but then again I'm the kind of person who can watch the sketches of Monty Python's "Owl-Stretching Time" episode and laugh myself breathless every single time I see them.

If I "don't get it", why don't you expand on it for me, then.Baby Tea said:
As said, that convoluted-rant is just much too full of itself - it's like writing a Michelin guide on a hamburger.
For starters just because people don't frequent the forum doesn't mean they aren't long time viewers too.PedroSteckecilo said:
Anyways, you can't at all expect people not to comment like I just did. Posting your opinions in that fashion smack bang into a ZP episode thread is asking for trouble. Much smarter would have been to make another thread.
Posting his "views" like this, borders on trolling in my opinion. Sure post your views in your blog, as a story or in another thread, or what ever - but choosing this thread is just bad form.
Alone the fact that you are a long-time viewer of ZP would indicate that maybe this "samey" feeling you're getting is precisely gained from watching ZP for too long?
I've watched every ZP since Yahtzee threw them up on YT too, and I don't at all share you're feelings about the show. Sure some episodes are better than others... but that' bound to be the case. And if I did, I sure wouldn't choose a ZP episode to approach that matter.
People always know better - just that it's never the ones doing it.
If you really are getting tired of ZP, stop watching it. Dropping numbers in viewers are surely more of an incentive for anyone to change the show rather than an ill-placed rant like NewClassic's.
I didn't think they made these anymore. Hasn't every single game bombed horribly? How do these people keep getting money?
