The Zeropunctuation thread

This was like the culmination of a really satisfying series arc. He’s been wailing on cover mechanics, weapon limitations and regenerating health for ages, and then this game comes along…

A fantastic week, best in a long time. As evidenced by this thread’s new found life.

Gears of War 3 this week.

Didn’t top the previous, but was alright for some chuckling.

This week, my favorite title of the month, Hard Reset.

He seemingly didn’t enjoy it as much as I did, but he does a good job explaining the downfalls. Except the gun thing, which I think is neat.

Yahtzee gets slightly miffed about Rage.

FUCKER BEAT ME TO IT!
I just saw it on facebook and came to post.

Today, in the news:

YAHTZEE DISLIKES PRETTY, BAD GAME
Sky remains blue, water wet

It’s a schtick. Just roll with it. He’s not reviewing anything, he’s entertaining people and drawing ad impressions.

Foxstab · 2011-10-19T11:01:24.000Z

When did he ever? Besides, we’re easily entertained. It works.

WarrenM · 2011-10-19T11:02:56.000Z

People argue the merits of his “reviews” all the time. So obviously some people don’t get it yet. :)

Foxstab · 2011-10-19T11:26:07.000Z

I tend to filter those kind of posts automatically between my visual receptors and what my cortex actually pays attention to.

Zylon · 2011-10-19T11:37:36.000Z

Clearly they aren’t reviews because he doesn’t assign numbers at the end. Harumph harumph!

Uh oh, it’s Kinect time, and we all know how much Yahtzee loves waggle…

Nonsense - he gives his actual opinions underneath the jokes/hyperbole.

My name is not Finneas K. Douchenstein!

Yeah but his opinion is that he hates everything, it’s just a matter of degrees.

Zylon · 2011-10-26T14:21:44.000Z

And according the 7-9 scale, all other reviewers like everything.

Seems no more or less valid to me.

Wait… what? He’s talked about how he likes:

Silent Hill 2
Prince of Persia The Sand of Time
Psychonauts
Portal (which he called perfect, he said nothing negative about this game)
Half-Life 2 Episode 2
Team Fortress 2
Pain Killer
Call of Duty 4

and that’s just off the top of my head.

BrianRubin · 2011-10-26T15:24:25.000Z

He LOVED Painkiller, and really liked Just Cause 2. Also, Driver: San Francisco might be one of his top 5 games of the year.
