Zero Punctuation: Wet

[New York Patrick]

I feel wierd saying this, but I actually liked it for most of the reasons Yahtzee hated it...

Not saying I'm an amazing fan of quick time events or anything. I hate it when NORMAL games have random quick time events in them that completely through the player off, or are completely dull and repetitive (007 Quantum of Solace.) However I liked Wet based on it's sheer basis around quick time events.

As for everything else, I guess it has something to do with me being such a big Tarintino Fan. I really liked the feel of the game because of it's similarity to Kill Bill and Grindhouse.

That's how I felt anyway...

Despite how brain damaged it makes you look and how awkward it is to play I actually took a liking to Wet's "cinematic" combat scheme in the same way one in my position could take a liking to Spongebob Squarepants. The sheer idiocy of it all neutralizes any rational or critical thinking you might have left in that decrepit little brain of yours which leaves the quietly giggling moron that is now you free to enjoy the spastic spectacle of it all as you go through, in this case, a series of engaging enough combat scenarios, at least for the mindset you're in.

Best part was the limerick. Just saying.

At first I loved this game it was fun then it kicked in and after 3 hours of flying around diving into people it kinda got stale shame this game could of been so much more.

 

[Kollega]

Well,that was pretty funny. Especially "fish in SS uniform" bit. And cinematic gaming is,indeed,not the best way to go. At all.

 

[Mordwyl]

I don't know, I'm kind of turned off by a game named Wet.

Funny video though I really liked the game. I know you're always doing the same, but the two car section, the falling from the sky section out of a freakin plane part and the rage mode stages were just great. He also forgot the great soundtrack. Don't rely on Yahtzee if you consider a buy, because he has to hate games, because people wouldn't find it funny any other way.

WET is a pertfect rental for a nice evening just having fun. You know, that tiny little bit that games were all supposed to be all about.

 

[LavaLampBamboo]

Arrogant, rude, surly and psychotic...

That just kinda reminds me of Yahtzee =D

But i thought that was a good review. The bit with Pillock almost made me forget I was watching a review =)

 

[J-Alfred]

I love Pilloc

Me too, but I really think he should bring back Terry and Gonad from the "Alone in the Dark" review

They clearly all work for the same company; some evil game designing corporation where the stupids are given total control over the final product and the smarties can only bang their heads against walls in eternal frustration.

Anyways, thank you, Yahtzee, for once again demonstrating that uncanny accuracy of yours to review a game right when I'm considering buying it. You did it with Dead Space, Force Unleashed, Call of Juarez, and now Wet. Over the course of your reviews you have saved me at least $250. Thanks again.

I just have one thing to say... AWSOME!

 

[Distorted Stu]

Poor Mr Pillock, he trys so hard!

 

[ssgt splatter]

Pillock, HA! That was great! Now I gotta wait 7 more freakin' days! I know he needs a week to play the entire game and then write a review for it but still it's tough to wait.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Well, I loved the game personally.

Nice Kaiser Chiefs reference...Rubi Rubi Rubi Rubi.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Fun review, and I can understand how he hates it. The thought of playing in slow-motion for 3/4 parts of the game gives me a headache. Then imagine what playing through the entire game will do to my head. Or maybe it's just lack of fluids in my body. But anyway, the demo looked nice, but then the thought occurred to me that the game will be that way through the whole play time.

 

[rokosp]

i saw this game in the store today...nd i jus knew he was gonna review it D *proud*

 

[SomeBritishDude]

This episode was brilliant. The octopus is appeased.

 

[Valine]

Granted, VATS turned out to be awesome...

No, it really didn't. Anyways, the review was ok - not his best but also not so annoying that I had to stop watching it (yes, there have been some like that).

"I do not advertise googling 'Wet Box' with the safe search off."

Note taken, I cant imagine the results.

I tried it.... I've seen worse..
Although the names people call these things, "wet box" was rather obscure =P

Its like standing next to a big red button with a sign next to it saying "DO NOT PUSH THIS BUTTON!"...theres no way you can't press it.

But unlike Yahtzee, I recommend doing it NSFW tho
