Because they haven't watched the video and so their posts might as well say "+1" for all the use they are. They're spam.tehweave said:First off... Why were so many people put on probation for posting the INSTANT the video was up? Yes, it's kind of annoying but putting someone on probation for saying "this looks awesome" seems a bit excessive to me.
They got put on probation because they haven't watched the video. If you haven't watched the video you can't say it's awesome.tehweave said:First off...

That being said, they were all very thick for posting so quickly.
Now then, I found this review to be quite funny, mostly because like everyone else I love it when Yahtzee completely tears a game a new one, and we all can probably pick a JRPG or RPG, or FPS for that matter, to make fun of, and this one looks quite awful.
Bravo, yahtzee. Hilarious.
The massive, world-shattering difference being one is about plot-heavy turn-based combat and the other is about slightly more complicated plot-heavy turn-based combat, I suppose.Alien1375 said:Kinda sad that Yahtzee and most members on this forum can't see the difference between a JRPG and a turn-based strategy game....
He rarely mentions graphics. Remember the crysis review? He wants to work the story and gameplay gnomes. Sure, he gave a mention in his thief review but that wasn't really a criticism. Mentions of graphics shouldn't be an expectation, unless the person reviewing is a graphics whore.Onyx Oblivion said:Don't know why I watch this anymore...It's just not funny anymore, and he never actually reviews the game. He even failed to mention the beautiful art style.
There's only so much JRPG bashing that I can take before my head asplodes.
Don't look at it like a review, just view it as a verbal beatdown.srpilha said:someone has a new vortex drawing. and a new bratwurst pic too.
pretty funny review, but the hatred sort of gets in the way. just sort of.
Yeah, it's just a Japanese game in which you take part in turn-based combat with a squad of oddball characters in silly costumes who talk a lot. Totally different to a JRPG, that. Not, for example, all the trappings of a JRPG stacked on top of a slightly different game.harhol said:They're completely different genres. Valkyria Chronicles is no more a JRPG than Gears of War.
Yes, but it's not to be expected, it's definitely not a failure for a game reviewer to not mention it.harhol said:Appreciating a unique & beautiful art style is not being a "graphics whore".mike1921 said:Mentions of graphics shouldn't be an expectation, unless the person reviewing is a graphics whore.
