I can't see much of the "good stuff" that is gone. I mean, the character custommisation couldn't make my character as absurdly anorexic as he was in the first two games, but I still made a character that looked rather like my characters from there (after putting on a bit of muscle, but I figure he put it on after becoming a celebrity to improve his image) and thus left me happy. Beyond there, there is the occasional detail here and there, but I've finished the main campaign, which I thought was generally superior to the other two games' campaigns, and now I'm having fun enough just dicking around in a smashed up Steelport.

In any case, I doubt it'll receive quite the same glowing recommendation that the second game got, since it's a sequel to a game Yahtzee's played and as a rule that makes him inclined to trash it just that little bit more, but I can't see how one can like the second game and loathe the third (well, then again, I couldn't see how someone could like Bioshock and loathe Bioshock 2, especially since I thought the latter was the better game, but he showed me up there).

This is probably the least productive thread I've ever seen. There's hardly any discussion that's worthwhile, and OP is way too badly written and encourages no discussion whatsoever. Man, I am dissapoint.

They took out all the side missions or You mean I can't spray the city is crap anymore? -shrug- I wouldn't mind NEW side missions. Having the same old ones would make the game feel recycled. But if they flat out took them out. That would be a bummer. Still going to buy it though.

You forgot Portal and Saints Row 2, which he gave the best reviews for.

I should also say that he won't hate it, the bloody point of the series was how wacky and over the top it was, and they just built onto that. I think it will be something like Portal 2, its good or great but just not as top notch as the last one was.

Come to think of it, I think Saints Row The Third actually took a few of Yahtzee's complaints and fixed them. Namely, no more obligatory side-missions and they made it even more like roleplaying a supervillain.

And since when was Yahtzee a top reviewer whose opinion decided the success of games?

That would be the Super Smash Bros Brawl Mailbag showdown...

and the fact that I actually know that without looking it up before hand, shows me that I waste WAY too much time on the escapist o_O


OT: Really, why should he? I don't feel like he "murdered" Arkham City and his opinion was obvious: The game is too sandbox-y and sqly. and if you think that he'll criticise the game for its flawsin design choices,
WELL OF COURSE HE WILL. He's a freaking critic. That's his damn job.
Now that you mention it. F yeah that was the one x3 *we spend to much time on escapist highfive*
Besides, even if he likes it, he'll be the critic and cynic. I wouldn't wanna have it any other way to be fairly honest ;)

It did boost the sales of Painkiller by a lot, if I remember correctly... they even included the gun with tits & on fire in their next release as a kind of a thank You. So, yeah. A good review from Yahtzee may count for more than You think.

...or the four Prince of Persia games.

...or Portal 1&2.

...or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

...or Silent Hill 3&4.

...or Batman: Arkham Asylum.

...or Super Mario Galaxy.

...or Resistance 3.

...or Driver: San Francisco.

Do you actually watch his reviews, or do you just complain anyway?
Also Killer7, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Bioshock, Psychonauts, Left 4 Dead 1&2... It goes on to be honest. Still, I think predicting it's gonna be a "IT'S THE SAME F****** GAME" is probably justified. I still want it.

Okay. My bad apparently. If you listened to his "reviews", you would play about 10 different games over and over again. I apologize that I don't study and memorize his videos.
YOU SHOULD BE!
Stop getting TRIVIAL things WRONG!!!
:p

OP: Yeah, probably, still won't stop me from enjoying the game though.

So Saints Row 2 is great, and this new game isn't as great, so ZP will be 'REALLY MEAN' cuz it isn't better than the second game?
.
Yeah, that sums it up nicely.

Uh, doi?

If there's one thing he hates more than sequels, it's sequels to games he liked.

I reckon it'll be the same as his Batman Arkham City review. 'Not getting out of here without a recommendation, but I'm going to pick nits like an emphetamine fuelled chimp.'
