-- I'd hit it.
-- I had heard a lot about the cinematic value of it, but hadn't heard details such as the shimmery water or the shirt effect. I think they did that in Twilight Princess, a little, whereas if you went into a puddle that was just over Link's skirt and to his waist, the bottom would be a darker colour than the top, and etc. I thought it was interesting too. Bah, it's the little things in life, dammit.
-- Did I mention that I'd totally hit it?

not really with 2GB of ram being under 80$ you can build a PC that can do new games on medium high for 400-500$ its consoles that are imodable, no control options, locked media options the only thing they lack is favor by the industry because its format is too open.dwhee said:
ill point out the anti-logic you are using here by saying that for the same $600 you piss away on a PS3 you can buy a computer that will play the same games that PS3 will with about equill graphics (now today that is) i can build a PC for $600 that has atleast the same 'power' as PS3 and that PC wont be limited to JUST games.dwhee said:
now i will say a top of the line Nvidia card is about the same price as a PS3 and thats not counting the other $1000 ish you need to spend to actualy get a working computer, the chip the Mobo, the RAM, etc. for a 'top of the line' gaming PC. but given taht software is allways a year or better behind the hardware its foolish to chase your tail keeping upgraded to the very tip-top pointy end of the hardware 'cycles'
but the two points im making is that
1) PC do about a billion things a console never will so the cash spent is actualy spent ON something of more use than simply playing games. and
2) PC will allways be better gaming machines than consoles untill they make a console upgradable (hardware wise) like a PC. meaning you dont get stuck with 2 or 3 year old hardware for the entire console 'cycle'. i mean usualy by the time a console is "finished" and ready to be shiped its hardware is allready atleast 1 'cycle' out of date in comparison to a PCs abilitys.
on the up side though, a console is much MUCH more easy to develope for (usualy though there was alot of issues with the PS3s development system from what ive read) since all the hardware is the same even if it is out of date, and as i found out the hard way after having spent way to much cash on an alienware computer it can take ages for software to actualy catch up with the hardware. my computer is about 2 years old and its just NOW getting games made that can take advantage of its hardware. i poped a chubby about buying a dual core (and of course quad core chips came out about 30 seconds after i settled on the dual core) chip only to find that ive spent most of the last 2 years having to disable one core to even get most games to lode.
in my opinion though if im gunna spend alot of cash im gunna spend it on a PC not a console since PC do more than play games. and even if ALL you did with your PC was play games your still much better of with a PC than a console due to upgradable issues.
like i said there is nothing actualy wrong with consoles other than the price, for $600 i expect not only the console but atleast a free year full of visits by hookers. knock that baby down too the $200ish price range and id prolly own one. any more than that and its better over all just to get a PC and get other things out of your hardware besides games.
and zippy whats your obsession with being able to cheat? cheating in a game is like being in the special olympics ............ well you know the rest
I was the first timne he was fully in the movie, but he has made other cameos.DismantleRepair said:
Like in the review of 'SIlent Hill: Origins' at 00:34 his pictures is on the chart (the first on the right), making fun of himself.
Far be it from me for having a fangirl moment, but yes, Yahtzee is quite the sex.
As for the review, brialliant as always, with his very own random quick time event YAY! Ah, Soul Calibur and all the Resident Evil games come to mind.
Honestly, I thought Uncharted was an excellet game. Funny, wonderfully saracstic dialogue and a fondu-cheezy plot that made me squeal in happieness along with intuitive gameplay, great characters and wonderful graphics.
But as I said, I'm very easily pleased by any attempts at game/storyline.
And I still loved the review, and how true the racism bit was, the sudden realisation bruning away at me. Now I feel guilty

It's gaming.
Seriously, doesn't matter if it's on PC or console, regardless it's still just gaming, so chill out and lets have some tea, m'kay?

The nice thing about a console is that developers make games that run on my machine instead of forcing me to make my machine run the game.Wyatt said:
And to answer your question about Uncharted, I don't think anyone really cares about that game except for early adopters of the PS3 trying desperately to prove that their console has something worth playing.
Great review, i loved that game so i was really happy when i saw the title of this week's review! Yahtzee really caught me off guard with the real life piece and i think it worked great. Got his point across.
I never realized while playing Uncharted that i was a white guy shooting everything but white people. I thought i was a suntanned guy shooting other suntanned guys. But maybe that's just me.

I lead a very hollow and uninteresting life. Thus any laughter that may occur in my otherwise futile existence should be considered side-splitting in comparison.SomeCrazyGuy said:
Or, you could just lighten the fuck up, realise that some people are easily entertained, whilst others are harder to please, and let people have their opinions.
I have that badge Zelda badge.sonicliam said:I thought i was seeing things when yahtzee spoke direcly
And yeah, Yahtzee actually spoken seems to have ripped the space time continium. In fact I have half a mind to suggest it was responsible for the earthqauke in England.
It was to actually demonstrate the jarring effect of being yanked out of the familiar game world to watch a bit of cinema and hit a button at the correct time. And how nonsensical it can be in certain situations.
If there was a way to make us ACTUALLY have to hit the X key to save Yahtzee from getting hit in the head with the bottle, I think he would have done it.
It was a creative way of making his point about Quick Time events, and he's quite clever for having thought it up, not that that's suprising. Yahtzee is one hell of a smart guy.
Meeting him was intimidating and not just because the man is almost a full foot taller then I am.

The hat was a distinct loss to those brought up to believe that Yahtzee always has a sweet hat.spiggy said:

And PotBS sucks the big one. Most of the decisions you make affect your average payoff by 0.00001%, so there's no reason for a market. Same grind. Same 24hour a day Playerkillers. And same 2 button combo to beat most ships. Oh, and Deus Ex Machinae on every game decision.
