That does mean it's not excessive, just that the others are even worse. Tbh, he probably doesn't have time to play it all the way through to the end. I'd never play it anyway so I don't really care about the review.harhol said:The comment about excessive micromanagement is also bizarre considering how simplistic it is in VC compared to other TRPGs.
You'll actually get reported for saying; "faggy fanboy comments".haakonb said:Loved this ep and your description of JRGP's, can't agree more.
I HATE JRPG's
...and now I'll probably get a lot of angry faggy fanboy comments..
I was so about to bring that up... love the reference to the earlier review. As well as "fractal spreadsheet nightmare".bartholen said:Chest high walls represented by the box of Gears 2 = brilliant.
True. As already pointed out by harhol, his claim of more screentime = invincible would prove that about halfway through the game. And if he calls that micromanagement, I wonder how he can play any RPG without bitching. Also, the Empire is not depicted as the all-evil - that is emphasised in one cutscene with a dying empire soldier and at the end of "what lies beyond hate". (And the Federation aren't much better than the empire anyway.)GloatingSwine said:Given the complaint about upgrades, I bet he didn't even play that far.Max-Vader said:PS: What, no breast-jokes about the valkyrie?

As for the review hilarious as always.
I don't know. I haven't been able to take Yhatzee's taste seriously since he recommended we all buy No More Heroes.odisious15 said:Well watching that saved me from buying a PS3 for the sole purpose of playing Valkryia Chronicles.

He's said he's trying new things. He has been for at least a couple of reviews now. So he's trying out a JRPG in case the bile he spews at them so hilariously is in fact, not deservedI can understand that most games aren't that great these days and have their faults, and it can't be helped if Yahtzee ends up disliking most titles he gets his hands on because he couldn't have known or because they really do happen to be shitty, but why the fuck does he review a game he knows he's gonna hate? That EVERYONE knows he's gonna hate? Why does he even play it? Sure, he's got to have an overview as a critic, but is this sort of theatre truly necessary? Is popular demand so tiresome that he does it despite everything, even though he knows he's rambling about the same shit over and over? Even though he knows that he's making us witness him drifting down the same river of feces all over again?
He only has a week to play the games he's reviewing. And I doubt he gets every single hour of every single day to play the games he's reviewing. So with RPGs, games which take time and patience, of course he's not going to get all the wayI get the feeling he didn't even give Valkyria Chronicles a chance although it' very unique because of his... let's say "prejudices" against it.
