Jk buddy, jk
lol. i knew too he woul'nd like it. only because it has the title tomb raider, does not mean it's bad right away. it mide be same in a way but there are far more worser games out there then tomb raider.
it's not easy to find always the right music. i was really wondering how long he can pull this through. so i was not surprised to hear only one music. to be honest, i don't care.Akalabeth said:
@Baby Tea:
It's sad that you didn't *get* my post either.
My point was that this show is made by Yahtzee, and no one else, and it's his job to make us laugh and write a good review. How is it fair for us to bash him when he can't do that? What right to we have to expect him to make us laugh? None at all, and that was my point. That, and that NC is pathetic human being for premaking that diatribe.
Anyway, why do you defend him so? If you apparently don't like ZP anymore then get off this site and stop trying to prove you're right to everyone. Oh wait, this is the internet, nevermind, let's argue for eternity then.

Very entertaining and I have attempted to play the TR series too but I just couldn't stand the controls or the combat so I quit. The design of the character aside I didn't mind Lara on the PS because she seemed like a lady that sort of knew her stuff and her voice and accent were convincing and fairly real (if I'm wrong I'm sorry, its been a long ass time) but now I feel like they've added this desperate breathy-ness to the voice that says, "I'm totally hot for you; come play with me." I feel like every time gamers try to convince people that we aren't all totally sex starved, socially inept male kids looking for masturbation fodder it's kind of undermined by this kind of crap. The box art doesn't even feature her face, just a middriff and some titties.
But I kind of disagree with Yahtzee saying that they're trying to preserve her original design because I think that if anything they're adding a lot of Angelina Jolie to the mix as well.

you still can download the demo.
I wuv you Rob. Put me in a show (How many times do you hear THAT?). It could be a pointless plug for the shirts! But I digress.SirSchmoopy said:
Why is it that people think when Nuke said 'ZP has changed', they automatically think he's saying 'ZP is bad'? There is a pretty big difference!Silveth said:
You said yourself it's his JOB to write a good REVIEW. Well I would agree 100%. What Nuke is saying is that there isn't anymore 'review' part! It's just rants and jokes about the game, gaming, or gamers in general (If games at all) that might tie into a barely review-esque line at the end. That's the problem he, myself, and many others have with the 'new' ZP. Nuke even said specifically that the show isn't bad. It changed. And that change is the source of guff. We would like reviews again. Not animated rants based on jokes that run on for too long.
And I defend Nuke because none of you know him. Everyone doing the front-line attacking on his post is a new member to the forums, who obviously has no idea who Nuke is. Unlike many of the new members, I'm not here for ZP. I think it's funny that someone would actually say 'if you don't like ZP, get off this site.'
The Escapist has FAR more to offer then simply ZP. And that's what I'm here for! I'm here for the forum community (And Unforgotten Realms...I wuv you Rob), and the people here-in. I've gotten to know Nuke, among many others, over the time I've been here and know that Nuke isn't this spotlight seeking egomaniac everyone (And by 'everyone' I mean 'the ZP fanboys who foamed at the mouth when reading one word of Nuke's post') says he is.
I'm not here to prove that either Nuke, or I, am right. Though I would say the change from the earlier ZP and the new ZP is pretty undeniable. I'm defending him because almost 100% of every negative comment about Nuke's post has completely misread, misinterpreted, glanced over (Assuming they know what he'll say), and/or missed the point of his post.
That, and Nuke is a stand up guy, a good writer, and a strong contributor to the Escapist forums and site as a whole.
Hi. I'm from Escapist. I've never posted before in a Zero Punctuation thread, and don't watch the videos very often. In fact, you could say that while I chuckle at ZP, I'm not a fan. Certainly not a rabid one.Silveth said:
I'm also a part of a much larger community which in fact shuns the comments on Zero Punctuation because we much prefer actual conversation. We lurk in regions such as the User Reviews, Roleplay and Off Topic sections. There's even a part for Gaming Discussion for the so inclined. The Escapist is much bigger than you think. If you don't like that, feel free to leave the site.
In response to comments on Nuke Lassic's review, I would like to say that he has a point. While the earlier production was not as slick as the later ones, it was more game based. Tangent jokes, while amusing, aren't such good things for the content level.
