Zero Punctuation: Darkest of Days

[MrPop]

Well the game premise does sounds like a good one. I'm surprised that nobody has really done it before (Or have they?) I might check out some gameplay clips to see what the animations are like after what he said.

A good review. It was actually surprisingly like a real game review which I quite liked

OMG i want a cat like that to!

A review by Yahtzee just isn't the same if you have to watch it twice because of all the bits you didn't hear because of laughing so hard. Fortunately, this is one of those videos where I did exactly that!

The idea for the game is awesome but there are so much flaws that they made the game in to a complete snore fest

 

[Olikunmissile]

Not a single laugh from me this episode, a few smiles but... I'm disappointed, Yahtzee is my weekday highlight, come home from work and watch Yahtzee, knowing it's only two more agonizing, soul destroying days until the weekend. But who actually cares? Keep em coming Yahtzee, you know we're all your bitches.

Hehe, I knew it!

Premise looked interesting, but execution is ass.

 

[VanityGirl]

Huh, I've never heard of this. Your review confused me, it seemed as if you liked it and yet hated it as well.
I might buy it for the premise as well, but it will be a purchase I will have to make down the road.

Downloading demo, but from this only expecting a 3d duck hunt like alot of new single player FPSs.

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

Heh I liked that dig at that Terminator t.v show. I'm confused though, why the hell is it called Darkest of Days?

 

[SomeBritishDude]

Never even heard of this game. Sounds like a cool idea though, maybe I'll pick it up in a bargain.

Stonkingly brilliant as usual by the way.

EDIT:

FIRST!

Hope this is a joke, otherwise it fails on too many levels to list.

Great review, keep it up

It's good to see reviews about games that aren't mainstream. My guess is that he won't review ODST because it's just an expansion pack.

 

[J-Alfred]

I especially liked the opening, because I was wondering the exact same things (yes, all of them!) that Yahtzee mentioned.

Great review again. Now, I know Yahtzee oversimplifies things sometimes, so I have to ask this of anyone who's actually played this game: is Yahtzee right about only being able to travel between the Civil War and Russia? Because that just seems lazy to only have two available levels.

 

[rex922]

actually it sounds like a fine game if all those improvements yahtzee mentioned are in
and the opening joke was great
good review yahtzee

Well I had no idea about this game, but I doubt I would have picked it up (and after the review I'm sure of it). Seriously, if you've got a game about time travel, why the hell would you only stick to only 2 time periods? Plus a monologue ending that actually explains everything while in a small box? That's like Half-Life if G-man actually made sense (and that is probably a really bad idea since I'm guessing most people continue to follow the series only to find out what the hell is going on). I have to say I'm also tired of the enemies knowing exactly where you are when you're supposed to be getting the drop on them too, Yatzhee. Lastly, why do we still have voiceless main characters? Haven't we evolved past that (or are developers just deluded into thinking that they can recreate Gordon Freeman?)?! I will have to say though that it's an interesting premise and anytime you can completely screw the rules and break out modern/future weapons on historical enemies has to be a highlight for any game. Maybe when this goes bargin bin I'll see about it.

I can forgive a game a lot of issues if the idea is cool and interesting enough and it hasn't been beaten with a large slap of dead horse, *cough* Halo *sneeze* Gears of War *cough* Any WW2 game *splutter*, so I'm thinking of buying this.

 

[Molten Water]

I thought hed fuck this game up the ass like all other reviewers are...surprising, he liked it!!

 

[ItsAPaul]

I was half expecting Aion for some reason, or at least a comment about the queue. Oh well.
