If they bring back the cake meme I will stab Gabe Newell in the throat for being an ass.
I fucking hate "the cake is a lie" jokes.

Have you actually SEEN the trailer for the new portal. The other AI in it? The cake wasn't even a joke in the last one. Just some people took it too far and now the rest of the folk that like it are sheep blindly thinking it still holds it's laughs.

Also, please think about what a CRITIC is suppose to do. He CRITICizes as part of his job. Call it bitching if you wish, but your just proving yourself to be inflexible and malcontent with other people expressing opinions, even though they have NOTHING in relation to your self.
Exactly!
Here's the thing about yahtzee, there is A LOT more criticizm than there is praise, anybody who doesn't notice that is blind and deaf. But in many reviews, in the end, its hard to tell weather he actually liked the game in the review or not. Most people who frequent the reviews know what I'm talking about.

Yahtzee loves Valve games at least from what he's said in his reviews, and for good reason. Valve is a bunch of creative geniuses. And I'm sure some of the things you mentioned will be criticised. Just take his HL2: EP2 review for example. He bashed it for being repetitive and re-using the same set pieces. But he still loved it. I think the Portal 2 review will be very similar.

Hee hee. Alliteration.
Couldn't have said it better myself
Are people still trying to work out if he's a genius or a troll?

Yahtzee is not a game critic. He's someone that makes comedy about games. Thats why it's better when he reviews a bad game or at least has a bad experience with the game. It's sad though that so many people take his rants to heart and miss out on so many good games. I've played many of the games he's reviewed and found some real gems.

I mean, look at how many people don't play Demon's Souls because Yahtzee complained about it, and it's really really awesome. The only game Yahtzee reviewed that I have to agree with him on is Dark Void, which was admittedly pretty bad...although it was just missing something.
My thoughts exactly, though I personally didn't care for Demons Souls too much. I watch Yahtzee for entertainment, not for an actual review. If I want a good review from people that aren't nearly as biased, I'll go to IGN. Not Gamespot. Lord no, not Gamespot.

Yahtzee complains about every game, if he reviews Portal 2 it will be no different.
he didnt complain about anything in the first portal.

ok, there is no guarantee that this game will suck. sure it has a lot to live up to. but that doesnt immediately make it shit. give it a chance to come out. chances are if they are focusing on portal 2 then valve will make lots of new and interesting puzzles. as for the humor: just because the cake is a lie doesnt mean the humor is gone. the kiwi could be a lie, or it could be a kiwi. or even a Kiwi.


bottom line dude, give valve a chance. there have been occasions of lightning striking twice.

doubt it. if there's one thing valve does, it's sequels.
Or doesn't, as the case seems to be with Ep3. :D
Nah, I'm sure they'll get there with time. A whole fuckload of time.

Isn't it Yathzee's job to look at a game, point out it's negatives, and then point out it's positives?

Ya'know... REVIEW?

Dude, he loved portal, he'll love Portal 2 if it is any good. And considering valve consider it the 'best game we have ever made' (and this from VALVE) I'm thinking it will be good

It's not the question of "Will Yahtzee Bash Portal 2" its how much and how harshly he will bash the game. Yahtzee bashes all games for one reason or another, but some titles like Batman Arkham Asylum has recieved a good grade under Yahtzee's godly stamp of approval.
Yahtzee seems cold-hearted but thats his JOB. I prefer Yahtzee's techniques on how to rate a game. Better than some people who hand out positive reviews for every title like they recieves more cash in thier paychecks for 10/10 rating games.

Yatzee will soo bash Portal 2, there is no way in hell that he will not find tons of stuff to pick on.
Here's a list of things i think will definately be mentioned:

-Due to incresed lenght and complexity he will b*tch about it getting too difficult, boring or repetitive.
-The humor will not compare to that of the first one, unless they bring back the cake meme (ok, ok this part has nothing to do with yatzee, i just thought it was fun so I added this line, of course the cake would be one of the first things he'd pick on ).
-The fact that the same caracter is used despite the fact that more than a hundred years have passed.
-Random other not-really-important game aspects like how some wall tile is a little more color saturated than another or how Chell's leg bracers make her look like a victim from the movie SAW.

Oh and he will probably be dissapointed about the still nonincandescent-titless portal gun :p

However these are just my thoughs on the matter, what do you think ?
I think you want him to hate the game because you know its going to be good but you want to find something wrong with it so you get yahtzee to do that. and the cake joke will not be funny at all it is so old right now that it will be anti-funny. thats right anti-funny it will suck humor away from the game.

I thought portal was incredibly over-rated, a simple original puzzle game that was a lot of fun for a couple of hours yes, best game ever made no. The sequel will be much much better and deserve a lot more praise, but with a huge increase in complexity comes all the complaints and imperfections so it might be rated lower.

yeah it's like a new series of blackadder or something...


No it's actually just terrible I was cringing the first time I saw that even accounting for the very poor delivery (placholder voice acting) I don't think the writing was any good

This was not funny, 99% of the jokes are jokes that were already done to death.


Also, Portal is an overrated game.
