The end credit animation is EXACTLY how I feel about Final Fantasy.

Hehe, "more shaky cam than a paul greengrass film projected onto a fat mans tits"

He's spot on with FFXIII, the first 12 hours really are dross. I can't bring myself to continue it now.

Mr E · 07-04-2010 08:05PM

God of War III today.

Red Steel 2 ..... wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ......

johnny_ultimate · 14-04-2010 05:34PM

Reboot reference?!

I feel old now.

Mr E · 21-04-2010 06:06PM

Just Cause 2...

calex71 · 21-04-2010 07:38PM

He was spot on about getting 100% in it, I gave up at around 40% when I realised i was going to take another 10 hours to just get to 50% and by that stage I had lost the will to live

CombatCow · 21-04-2010 08:07PM

Mmmm yeah, I got 100% trophies took 80Hours, but fúck getting 100% ingame, it's just not worth it...

Well done for sticking with it, I just couldn't go on with it, I was bored to tears with it @ 40% and still a load of achievements to go for.

CombatCow · 21-04-2010 11:09PM

Going from 60% to 75% was the hardest considering it takes an hour to do 1% :eek: .I think if I had of known that at the beginning I wouldn't of bothered to be honest

hal9000 · 22-04-2010 12:47PM

was it just me or was there an awful lot of cat references in the last review

Mr E · 28-04-2010 05:55PM

Silent Hill Shattered Memories. I think he liked it. Kind of. Hard to tell these days.

Mr E · 05-05-2010 05:56PM

Splinter Cell Conviction this week.

WolfForager · 05-05-2010 06:44PM

If series so far were a stream of urine then Conviction would be the last drop that rolls down your leg

His last line is always hilarious :P

5uspect · 05-05-2010 07:01PM

I've only played the demo but he's right about the lazy dumb controls.

Seifer · 05-05-2010 07:03PM

Funny review. I haven't played Splinter Cell since the very first one but it sounds like they've really broken it.
In the first one you could jump on any wall, anywhere to vault off it and now you have to wait to be told to press X? And you can insta melee kill anyone even if they've seen you and are shooting at you?
Why the hell would you dumb down a game so much? It's not like it's aimed at kids.

Mr E · 02-06-2010 06:41PM

People bored with Mr. Yahtzee? Here are the last few reviews.

Alan Wake
Monster Hunter Tri
Dead To Rights Retribution
Nier

Enjoyed Alan Wake video he made fun of all the points I hate about horror games. Wish it was more regular that once a week though.

Angron · 03-06-2010 10:52PM

I

Mr. Yahtzee. I've been going back over the older videos, still chuckle at his refusal to review Mario Kart.

Noooo it would totally ruin it if they did that!

calex71 · 04-06-2010 12:09AM

The entertainment value has long past with him for me, and not even worth watching as a review as I've long since played and finished the games he reviews in most cases.

Best was fallout 3, I went and got it on the strength of it. I had read other reviews and was tempted but when he starts a review by saying "yeah... it's pretty good"

folan · 04-06-2010 10:50AM

Yahtzee doesnt review games, he just complains about them for 5 mins. its nice when he likes a game and finds it hard to complain about something. batman AA was one i thought he was struggling to complain about anything

pixelburp · 04-06-2010 11:17AM

Ah I still watch his reviews on a weekly basis - it's a habit that at 5pm I fire up The Escapist in work & have a wee giggle.

But to be honest the gimmick is somewhat flat at this stage & it doesn't help either that I don't give a crap about many of the games he's reviewing: Alan Wake - Monster Hunter Tri - Dead To Rights Retribution - Nier, Ergh. It really does feel like games are just going through the motions at this stage, overproduced mediocre borefests.

Shryke · 05-06-2010 09:51PM

I more or less feel the same as previous posters. When you don't like a game he's the guy to go to, but just ripping on everything without seeming to put much effort into actually playing some games gets boring and predictable.

Jazzy · 05-06-2010 11:50PM

hes still great. need sum1 to take apart games on every level

I have to agree. I mean I loved BioShock 2, but I thought his review of it was brilliant. I wouldn't base the purchase of a game on one of his reviews, though, I use ING for that.

tman · 08-06-2010 07:09AM

Growing quite sick of him myself, watched the monster hunter one last night and was quite unimpressed, so watched the DTR one thinking it would be an instance where he really shines (he's usually at his best when reviewing a bad game)
Couldn't be bothered with the last two after that, and I don't think I'll be back again.

So long and thanks for the chuckles, Yahtzee....
