Zero Punctuation: Dante's Inferno

[ninjajoeman]

first hes just mad because EA didnt send him two boxes to smash to bits
second hes going to look back at it and say how he liked it beter then x game even though y game is better and his friends a - m are complete dicks...

"It beats the fuck out of me!"
Brilliant, Yahtzee.

As to your surely rhetorical question at the end of the review, I'll be a dick and answer: Supposedly, getting caught up in the gales was supposed to symbolize being swept away by your many romances. Retarded, I know.

or maybe its because the game sucks...or hell sucks hell probobly both *huh I just used hell in one sentance with two different meanings*
Can i get a cookie?

"My right hand on a Sunday night..."

Oh god... this is my new favorite ZP.

But really, boobs and Lucifer's wang does not a good game make. Got my platinum trophy in two days and now going to trade it in for something that isn't a ripoff, like Afrika... oh wait, that's just Pokemon Snap On Safari.

Dont buy. Ok glad thats setttled, now to dust myself off and play some Napoleon TW instead (because im soooo boring)

 

[Pimppeter2]

Heh, I laughed a couple of times.

Good stuff, would never play the game.

Again, fantastic work. There's almost always something that makes me laugh really hard in these videos. Guess this time I check the comments and find consensus. Awesome!

Though I dare say, that our good misanthropic games critic seems to have a lot of pent up rage for EA from this one, and I can't help but wonder if it's misplaced. The singing box seemed to me like the bastard child of a certain English singer of the fading eighties resurrected as a meme, and another prick at EA with too much free time and a gift certificate for Home Depot. Plus sledgehammer.

Though I've got to wonder, if Yahtzee had the chance to do something equally mean spirited, would he do it? Maybe take over some of the jumbo-trons on the sides of buildings in [Name metropolis here] and play some of that dancing-boxers with ping pong ball eyes on them, from the days of yore?

I'll keep watching on youtube for video of that to pop up. Until then, I'll just wonder.

Uh oh, Dante tries to rationalize cheating on Beatrice.
Well, with the way she dresses (or doesn't), I'm sure she'll find a nice demon some day to sweet her off her feet.

 

[Shamanic Rhythm]

That is absolutely one of the best and funniest videos in a while. I'm glad that this game has been given the crucifixion it deserves for bastardising the Divine Comedy and saturating the airwaves with a stupidly overhyped marketing campaign.

Personally, I had fun just playing the demo. Then again, I have a fetish for overdramatic, cheesy, gory, seventh grader crap. If you're going to do something, do it with as much vulgarity, over the top-ness, and gratuitous violence and nudity as you can. Now -that's- entertainment. And Dante's Inferno definitely entertained me for all the right reasons. And several of the wrong ones. My wallet's not exactly burning a hole in my pocket right now, though, so I'll probably be getting Dante's Inferno when it's been cut down to half price or whatever, like almost everyone else in this forum.

 

[Anchupom]

I'm suprised he didn't mention Lucifer's giant death wang...

 

[Enfold]

your voice sounds slower

 

[zeratul123]

your right god of war 3 better

i love and loled your vids yatzee your great

 

[Andronicus]

"It beats the fuck out of me!"

Does anyone else get the impression that Yahtzee's been holding that one in for a long time, either waiting for the absolute perfect moment to use it, or just giving in after he couldn't take it anymore?

Great review Yahtzee, looking forward to Heavy Rain!

 

[lacktheknack]

Ahhhhh, Yahtzee, forever making me laugh, recommending me games, and showing me that most atheists still don't understand ANY of their favorite punching-bag religion. Your badly misguided jabs at Christianity made me laugh harder than the rest of the review.

 

[mchoueiri]

I dunno I think dantes inferno is good and different enough from god of war

 

[FallenMessiah88]

This game had me very hyped when i first heard about it. I may be picking this up eventually but first GOW3

 

[Wolfram23]

Ok, this one was hilarious. Nice wank jokes... "beats the fuck out of me!" hahaha

Also, turn down the music at the end please.

 

[spartan773]

Just a quick question, will you be reviewing no more heroes 2?

not yet because michael atkinson likes to fuck over austrailian gamers, so give him some time as the game goes through the standard flogging most games seem to get while being prepared for PAL releases.
you do have to know he's in Australia, so he can't review a game the moment it comes out in the US or UK. It doesn't work that way dude.

I know. I just want to know if he plans to. I'm going back to mr Wii in a few weeks and I'd like to pick it up, but if it's not on par with the original I'll leave it be.

Fuck yeah, get it. there's tons of changes and has been getting decent reviews all across the board... BUT before you even fork out the 40 bucks for the game... why don't you rent a copy and try it?

Why would I do that if buying it outright is universaly cheaper?

try it at least.

 

[Neshel]

Yahtzee sounds like he's losing his voice! Almost makes me wonder if it would have been better to wait until he was healthier. On the other hand, then we would have to wait for a new vid and that would just be sad.

Get well soon Yahtzee!

 

[Julianking93]

Loved the review. I'm still getting the game when it drops in price though.
