Zero Punctuation: Wet
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
I played the demo of this, and found myself randomly getting sqwished by a truck in the cutscene cause i was watching my friend play another game and found out i missed the quicktime event... Like they're bad in most games and i thought Yatzees hate for them was a biit too much but now i see why he hates them so much, IN THE CUTSCENES COMEON!
I wouldn't say SotC was cinematic actually. In fact, it was as far removed from cinematic as you can get. It had polish and presentation, and was an excellent game, but that hardly makes it cinematic. In fact, it did many things that absolutely would not work in a cinematic experience. Like riding your horse for a really, really long time, with nothing happening on the way, and giving Wander no real name or backstory. In a game it's able to work, and it gives you atmosphere and a feeling of isolation, something a 'cinematic' experience would ruin.cblrtopas said:
i think this game would have been better served withterry and gonad from the alone in the dark reveiw instead of pillock the game designer. but i'm sure pillock and gonad are friends because no one person can come up with so many bad ideas by themselves.
I think I remember watching the trailer for this almost a year ago. Like all trailers, it looked like it had so much potential. So sad.
WOOOOOO! best one in while. I started making strangling noises because i was laughing so hard. That's how i know it was a good one. AND i definitely want to have Pillock's babies.
Great Review Ben. You said everything that I said in my head after playing the demo.
Wet is just a steaming pile of semi-hard horse manure.
Glad I never spent money on it.

I actually sent him an extremely well written and thought out email telling him about Demons Souls. It might actually be a JRPG he can for once enjoy.shadow946 said:
excellent review. As always, you see through the tits to the arse beneath. Erm, there're no arses under tits. This is wrong. Mind scrub. Ah, that's better, how about learning something about real wet work?

WET is a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HOOORRIBLE game.
A prime example of todays lameness that has struct the gaming market since the start of the century.
Anything that sells to be "cinematic" is a lame excuse for not implementing interactive gameplay elements properly and should be discarded and not sold as a GAME which should be concidered scam.
WET sucks so much because its generic, lame and you jump/slide CONSTANTLY which feels really ridiculous and overdone.
