Unskippable: Zoids Assault

[300lb. Samoan]

For a show called Unskippable, that sure had a lot of skipping in it! Are you honestly saying that this is a PS3 game??? It looks threadbare for a PS1 title!

 

[Rock on Fire]

The Shepard's Spy joke reminded me of the Goon Show.

 

[Sylveria]

Good lord this is the worst intro I've ever seen. In the 5:42 run time there was what.. 10 seconds of music and "animation" which was just snow? I pray the first few minutes of game play were transcendentally awesome to make up for that torture. How do they expect people to get interested in a game when it has 5 minutes of text screens and still picture exposition?
I love the old anime-ish art on stuff but this is just abusive and lazy.

 

[Moonmover]

Hah...that LRR reference at the end had me chuckling. Excellently done, especially given the subject matter.

Also: What's a zoid?

A zoid is a giant fighting robot.

No, really. This is a game about giant fighting robots.

 

[zeratul123]

damn that intro looks really boring

 

[Mantonio]

Is it wrong that I skipped through most of that?

I mean, Jesus. tl;dr or what?

 

[Graham_LRR]

And the bit we cut... the FIVE MINUTES OF NOTHING we cut, is even worse!

 

[GrinningManiac]

[HEADING=1]GOOD, GODDAMN F*CK[/HEADING]

That was DULL

Good job guys, though you didn't have much to work with

You don't have to censor yourself on the Escapist.

And I used to love the cartoon and the toys. That intro made me die a little inside.

I like to. F*ck is such an unpleasant word, but can be manipulated for comedic effect. Still don't like saying it

 

[Impluse_101]

Quite possibly the worst unskippable seen that these guys had to put up with, and quite possibly even WORSE then Metal Gear.

You two are the strongest people I will ever know...save everyone else I do know.

 

[JayJayinMay]

This is why Cutscenes have a skip button.

 

[Gigaguy64]

.....sniff.....

What have they(the game)done to my Zoids........what?.....

Sniff.....Sniff

 

[Mydnyght]

Wow. That droning voice - it's like Michelle Ruff had a kid and the father was a Speak & Spell.

Why, thank you, Formica. Now I'm going to have nightmares involving one of my favorite English-dub voice actresses and a Speak & Spell.

That said, yeah, there was probably no better way to describe Ms. Van Clyft's voice than how you put it.

 

[Wolcik]

If there was no Profesor X joke I'd be disapointed

 

[Danglybits]

Oh holy god! Pacing people, PACING!! The beginning of the game is supposed to get my blood up and make me wanna be a part of this world; not go grab a work by one of the Bronte sisters for some excitement. I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't keep these fictional countries straight.

 

[MattAn24]

"She's obviously a spy!"
"She's a Shepard!
"She's a Shepard's pie!"

Oh boy.. That just sounded so right.. Now I want pie..

"METAL GEAR!"

"Thanks very much to our opening act. Next up in our Monotone Speaker Series, Ben Stein reads Droning Folk Songs of Russia!"

 

[Anticitizen_Two]

That game looks awful. Just awful.

 

[Adventurer2626]

Finally! A game that law students can enjoy too! Thank god I won't be joining them...(No offense to actual law students)

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

i thought this episode was so-so. (because i'm in a rush, i won't be able to explain it in many details.)

not much jokes or funnyness hah!

 

[Venatio]

Holy shit, this has to be the worse game opening in history (and I have seen some bad ones, some very bad ones). I mean, it made absolutely no mention towards gameplay or even anything specific about the game - where the heck were the zoids? Thats what we came for, not his boring hack.

But thats anime for you, too much fanfare not enough substance.
