If you enjoyed L4D1, then grab the L4D1 modified level packs for L4D2; they are massively more fun than the tame campaigns of L4D2. I think there are about 4 levels in L4D2 that I think are good versus levels, each in different campaigns. It's a bit of a joke.

Yeah, I love Yhatzee...it is always frustrating when a game I am enjoying doesn't get praise, simply because many viewers actually base their purchasing on his reviews alone. Like I said earlier, I bought Lego Indiana Jones earlier, which got a generally favourable review, and it was a complete...

People will always get on their hands and knees and praise Yahtzee for delivering 'another great review' and then say they won't buy this "POS game". They're usually being idiotic. Yes Yhatzee's 'favourite games' list has some truly great games in it...there are many, many great games that...

TL;DR: Demon's Souls is really, really awesome. The review is very funny. Yahtzee sucks at playing games. Also it hasn't sold nearly as many copies as it should.

My friend talked a lot about this game, including about how ruthless it was, so I ended up buying it. Reading Yahtzee's review was hilarious to me because every account of the actions of the game were completely accurate. However, the game is really not as hard as it is made out to be. I...

I bet Yahtzee gets depressed whenever he reads comments.

What games can you give as examples of ones which are not 'dull and soulless'?

The process of a designer making a level is very much the same; sketch ideas, block out the level to get its basic functional form, then work on the real content of it. Mistakes in LBP can also be agonising to correct, trust me on this as I have done a lot of work in LBP. Gameplay mechanics...

Thanks for the reply, 1. I understand that opinions vary. My point was to not formulate a conclusion based solely on Yahtzee's opinion, or in this review more of a lack of opinion. I like Yahtzee's reviews but I don't agree with them all, even though some of his favourite games are mine...

Then consider my opinion, being an avid gamer and professional game designer, and someone whose opinions of great games generally fall in line with Yahtzee's (Thief being my all time favourite game); I believe LBP is worth your money if you enjoy exploration, innocent fun (that is, no blood and...

UGC is a bad thing? OK, then we should cease all sales of paints, musical instruments, postings of pictures on the internet, etc, because we don't want to see all that bad 'user generated stuff', right? Stop being idiots. UGC is only a good thing. Okay, if you were ONLY getting UGC with LBP...

LBP is a very good game, it's a shame that Yahtzee didn't really focus on the elements that make the game and instead decided to dick about for most of the interview. Yeah there is a lot of bollocks in the community made levels, but I would say that the number of genuine attempts at fun...

I hope some people here still consider going out and buying the game. If people never bought games because Yahtzee said they suck monkey nuts, then there wouldn't BE a games industry. People will have only bought Psychonauts, The Orange box, Braid, Prince of Persia, Magic Island f'ing Dizzy...
