Final Fantasy XIII

That's completely true, but I'm sure Yahtzee was fully aware of that. It's just that there is something to be said for having a driving, catchy tune that stands out. Not least because it's something you remember and gives you a fond memory of the game. Indeed I bet a large number of older games...

Seifer Almasy is the most normal. Followed by Legato Kaiba. But Legato would get shortened to "Leg"...and you don't want your name to be Leg. "Legato" is a music term btw which means to have notes flow fluidly from one to the other with no gaps or breaks. So I guess that's a cool name. But Leg...

I've become increasingly convinced recently that the games industry is actually run by incompetent morons. And I'm really talking about the big publishing houses here, not developers. We're trained in the West (being the home of capitalism) to think that if there's a big industry with several...

Rant time: I fucking hate job hunting in the UK during this unemployment crisis. I came out of university in 2010 and after 7 months managed to get a shitty minimum wage part-time admin job. Naturally I'm still trying to look for proper work but every job that isn't some soul destoying...

Oh god I am so tired of this arrogant, ignorant, small-minded American insistance that "socialized" health care doesn't work. Hello? Open your fucking eyes. The rest of developed world has had it (mostly) since the end of the Second World War. It has been proven beyond any possible doubt that it...

Trapped nerve in my neck down the right hand side. I've it for about 10 years now. Usually its an incredibly intense shoot of pain that lasts for less than a second. Only bareable because of its brevity. BUT it has on about 3 occasions lasted quite a lot longer than that. Absolutely blinding...

Why are there so many miserable posts on this forum? Like 'Whats the point in life?', 'Do gays go to hell?', 'Do you ever get thoughts about death?', 'My nipples make me sad'. Maybe it would be more helpful to take these questions to a counselor. Also the title of this post is just factually...

Is the concept of "excessive force" that alien to people? Unless you believe that unarmed muggers should receive the death pentality I don't see how you can consider this just. And the fact that he had a permit for the gun is entirely irrelevent to the moral question at hand. Taking a human...

Sega Master System. Can't remember what game: 1 , up , 1 , up , 1 , 2 , 1 I even remember the melody that accompanied the button presses. For the musicians out there it was: C#, A, C#, A, C#, E, C# lol. It wasn't actually a cheat code, but a combination you needed to unlock a...

To be fair I think even Yahtzee would conceed that Bioshock 2 wasn't that bad in most areas by virtue of the fact that it was almost identical to Bioshock 1. He just hated it because it had no reason to exist and wasn't as good as its predecesor. Though personally I don't get the idea that...

SimCity 2000 on the PS1. I LOVED the original on PC, so I bought the downloadable PS1 version from the PSN. Horribe, horrible, unplayable framerate. I'm not exaggerating when I say I think it's criminal that they actually sell it to you on the PlayStation Store. Criminal because it's a con to...

...is a very stupid and incorrect statement, and not a valid opinion. Yahtzee does not like online multiplayer. Ergo is he going to trash any game that does not sufficiently impress him based upon single player alone. His is not an opinion, but a bias. It's no different from not liking a...

Death is nothing to fear at all. Not existing after death will be no more troublesome than not existing before birth (or conception). Only the process of dying is something potentially to fear... Unless of course you believe in all this heaven and hell, afterlife stuff. In which case death is...

*sigh* Only in the United States of Jesus, is the issue of atheists and Christmas ever considered an issue. And notice how you said atheists. Why not generally non-Christians or non-believers? After all surely the question applies equally to agnostics and deists? Hell I even know some...
