did he refer to schindler's list as comic book writing? :pac:

No?
He rhetorically asked if it was just a bunch of flickery lights on a wall.

I liked how he said 'You didn't come here to find out why a game is good. You've heard that already.'

Kind of like what we were saying in this thread!.

Mr E

Beatles Rock Band and Guitar Hero 5....

Jazzy

ahhh the one chink in yahtzees armour, his like of rock bang & gaytar hero + co.

see retr0, he isnt always right! there is hope!

Only ever played Guitar Hero once or twice, found it an utterly pointless & boring exercise; so I can't exactly empathise with Yahtzee's position on the series

Its not meant to be excercise, its meant to be fun

It also increases in fun with alcohol and friends.

GH/RB = Great
GH/RB + Friends = Excellent
GH/RB + Friends + Alcohol = Partaayyyy


And as for this week..he picked a rubbish game to review

It's a pattern matching game, I grew out of that after playing Simon Says years ago

It's no Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!

Ha Ha, harsh. My copy is in the post anyway but still look forward to it. Seems like the perfect short play came to me when you don't have time to invest in a longer playing spell.

I'm actually curious to play this now. Must be a case of reverse psychology (or as I call it, stupidity).

Mr E

Pretty damning.... I hope the lead designer is nicknamed Pillock because of it.
Names like that stick, you know.

Ha, pretty funny this week, with some truly mind-destroying images conjured up

Mr E

Brutal Legend

He didn't like it

(shock!)
I probably agree with him, actually. Not really enjoying this game.

Loved the spiderman joke.

now that is ****ing quality rick-rollin' right there.

pld EA

Mr E

Fair play.... thats a great prank.

CCCP^

I'm amazed EA had the ingenuity and creativity to do something like this.

Look forward to being rickrolled from: a lunchbox, a pack of smokes, ham sandwhiches, toolboxes, tiolet roll.

I also heard the Box 2010 will be out for the PS3, 360, PC, DS, PSP, Wii and Atari Jaguar.

Shryke

That's a great prank. I haven't watched the last few reviews and I won't bother watching this one. More because I really enjoy Brutal Legend than anything else.

rizzla

Nice joke, but Dante's Inferno will probably be banned in Aus.

D4RK ONION

I'm sure the ability to commit babbicide wont cause the very open minded Australian censor board to ban it :rolleyes:

Mr E

Yahtzee reviews Washington DC. Stick to the reviews, dude. It might get funny after the 2 minute mark, but I'll never know because I closed my browser out of boredom.

Yikes... that's pretty rubbish.

Retr0gamer

That was about as funny as a back street abortion

oh dear...

Wait wait wait ...

why do all the cartoon reviews air uncensored, gratuitous swearing, tasteless analogies and everything, yet within 30 seconds of the video his "f*ck you" gets bleeped?

I wouldn't know if this is all throughout the thing either because like you guys, I got stupendously bored & had what I always presumed, confirmed: Yahtzee needs a script. He can't do ad-lib & just comes across as a twonk (more so!)

L31mr0d

I think the guy must think if we like his reviews we actually like him. You'd think he would plan ahead for these things and have some "retro reviews" pre recorded to air when he's away on his hols
