I...didn't get the allegory with Kookaburras and your mom joke.

"I tried running up the wall once and broke the light switch." Seriously, Yahtzee? I hope you didn't do this when you were 20.

Out of curiosity, has Yahtzee tried any of the Phatasy Star Online games? Now those start to look like a chore compared to MH.

It seems he's not big into the item/resource management, or simply not into these kinds of games at all.

I like Monster Hunter Tri. At least it doesn't treat you like an imbacile if you didn't get it the first time, as the game provides sufficient hints and context with regards to the items (dung bombs, for instance). If you want absolute asspulling, play any of the Phatasy Star Online games...

You know it to be true. The only reason FFVII became popular was because of FMV TECHNOLOGY. That, and essentially the disc-based medium contributed to the kind of linear-corridor dungeon creation we see in todays "Tetsuya Nomura's fashion show XIII". I blame the Playstation for ruining the...

Yes, this is precisely what we need to be clear about. When FFVII came along, it introduced many of the things that I HATE HATE HATE that the series has somehow come to be known for from henceforth, if not the whole establishment of the "JRPG" trope that was only so recently created. You...

This review really brings me back to the old Yahtzee days (his first review). I laughed at the undead-swordsman bit about cutting his nipples out, and the dogs in the tunnel.

Is is just me, or has Yahtzee's voice changed a lot? I thought it was a joke until I saw past the credits.

Totally different from when he's reviewing. The expressionless guy trivia was quite interesting. I could've sworn I've seen it on the cover of some album...

I guess Yahtzee needs to play Etrian Odyssey... ...Guess I'm not the only one who thinks this game defines hard with three letters: F.O.E.

I don't subscribe to the notion of "JRPGs" and "Western RPGS" (a term that came into being just right after FFVII grew in popularity and invited all of those anime-dorks who watch Neon Genesis Evangelion into the videogaming world, not to mention most subsequent titles became influenced by that...

Was he reviewing Overlord 2 or the first one? Pretty spunky an succinct installment. I like it. (This episode. I haven't played the game.)

I laughed at his response to Silent Hill Shattered Memories. "Oh right...so it's a whole new reinterpretation of the concept with retooled gameplay with emphasis on psychological horror...Actually, that sound pretty good, but I'm commited to this idea now so it's probably going to be bad."

Nice closing remarks Yahtzee, but from your review, the rest of the game...sounds utterly boring. Been there, done that. Only this time with a moral choice system. I was at least hoping Scribblenauts would claim the title of of being THE sandbox game because it lets you do everything. Yes...
