The Escapist : Zero Punctuation Game Reviews

EGriff

Red Dead Redemption

He kind of liked it.

Dyr

ads? wtf!! I want my 6 seconds back :mad:

Grimebox

greem spleen submarine. I laughed.

Benzino

Yeah, the novelty has worn off at this stage. It's rare now that I laugh during his reviews.

I much prefer to watch unskippable now, they have some great vids like the Deadly Premonition one.

I dunno... Each to their own i guess. Sounds like me and friend just playing any game. Except I usually laugh when i do it.

And he got Purple Monkey Dishwasher in there as well. You gotta give him credit for that one.

I still enjoy them. Sure the "LOL HE HATES EVERYTHING" factor has worn off them, but he's still good at what he does, and you can tell a good game if he doesn't spend the entire review murdering it :P

Jilm

Alpha Protocol

humanji

I laughed a good few times at that one, which I haven't done with many of his recently.

Mr E

Prince of Persia - The Forgotten Sands - very funny actually!

Pretty good.
I thought it was funny when he was talking about "Cake."
However in order to do so I believe yathzee had to punctuate his sentence.

WolfForager

It's like he saw into my mind and decided to spread my thoughts to the masses...

Meh. Not buying SMG2 as I got bored of SMG1. Just as he said, it's not really evolved much. I completed SMB64 and loved it. I completed SMS and thoroughly enjoyed it. I got to SMG and it just felt old to me.

That's the thing that confuses me though. Every incarnation of Mario of the 2D kind never gets old no matter how many times they'll reboot it. The continuation of the 3D Mario has just slid downhill for me tbh. I don't see how SMG1 and 2 got such rave reviews Maybe it's just me getting older and relishing on nostalgia

You can't improve perfection.

It's a fantastic game... but not a very funny review...

I thought the review was great. Your argument is invalid.

As did I... I was worried he was going to take a giant dump on it because of how Japanese it is but it was an excellent review!

SotC doesn't strike me as very Japanese, since it's quite original and the story isn't over-blown

It has an angsty protagonist to Jap it up.

Sarky

There's a distinct lack of "...", whiny "why does stuff happen?" bullsh*t and swords as big as your horse. And it's not totally batsh*t insane.

Angsty is fine. It's when it's moany emo twat it turns into annoying Japanese bad writing territory. The Squall factor.

RocketFalls

Any Escapist members here, incidentally? It was/is my forum of choice, but the quality of the discussions seems to have taken a nosedive circa. the MW2 release...

Just after I mention it to you. Coincidence - probably. :pac:

Whoever recommended unskippable 6 months back can go die in a fire. It's just about the worst gaming 'comedy' on the internet and as funny as amputation.

Amputation can be funny, in the right context...

Necronomicon

Yeah I didn't think much of the few Unskippable episodes I watched.

Extra Credits, however, is very good IMO.

That actually looks really cool. I wouldn't mind going there some time if I ever was Down Under.
