An idea for a Zero Punctuation episode

[Rinor]

I know he dislikes MMO games and that's why I believe he should not review the whole 1- process and talk about it for a whole episode, but simply torture himself trough one MMO as far as he can get before breaking something (i.e. perhaps 10% of the game) then briefly mention some of the highlight frustrating moments he experienced.

I believe many of us would love to see him suffer a bit more and complain about a MMO we probably have played before. 1 minute of ZP about some MMO the end of a episode would provide us with a bonus orgasm.

I assume the nay-sayers will be the first to reply to my thread but I doubt this is the most stupid suggestion posten on this forum.

I do belive he already did an MMO reveiw in the form of Age of Conan.

 

[Rinor]

He have done at least one I believe, though one more wouldn't hurt -or would it?

He also did several RPG/Sandbox games and so on so it's not like doing the same genre again would be a waste of time, it could be funny if Yahtzee finds some clever stuff to say.

In before Yahtzee finds this topic and says, "No."

He's a game critic though. And the ammount of releases coming in 2010, he's going to be busy.

(in before splinter cell : conviction review)

Yes, but most MMO (note the word most here) that anyone has ever heard of are very similer to one another, so reveiwing them would be like a food critic eating cakes with the same taste, but different apperances. It would just be pointless.

I'll come back in 3 years and join you in that.

He argues that all MMO's are trying to be World of Warcraft on several occasions. He also has reviewed several, EVE Online, Tabula Rasa, and the aforementioned Age of Conan.

I would submit for your (and possibly his, but it is unlikely) consideration Phantasy Star Online. While on one hand being an MMORPG that DOESN'T play even remotely like WOW, but is also a JRPG NOT full of the whiney effeminate twangsty protagonists he's so un-fond of and is also not turn based.

Pity that the MMO part of the game is basically dead and can only be played offline (which arguably is still hella fun) and Phantasy Star Universe, which does have the same non-WOW MMO goodness sadly has many many stereotypical JRPG characters.

An even better idea would be any Katamari game. Like one of his more highly praised games, Killer7, it defies the same predictable games in a brilliant technicolor dreamcoat.

I believe he did say that he enjoyed World of Warcraft, yet hated the effect they have on people. I think he should review it, and actually list the parts he liked instead of just touching on them in different reviews.

And EVE.

 

[Angelcraft]

I think that he should do a Nostalga episode on PS1, PS2, Xbox, or whatever titles he is interested in. There hasn't been an older game title review in a good while.

I'd suggest Damnation. The term "beyond terrible" doesn't even begin to describe it.
