Zero Punctuation: Darksiders

[jorgemalgom]

excellent review i like the more angry style voice. Of course i not buy this game, i don't play console games.

 

[Dectilon]

I'll go ahead and assume that the bit about the combat is wrong (simply because there's been a running theme for a while now of saying one thing in ZP and then correcting it in the column), but this one made me laugh, so it's all good.

 

[TZer0]

lol @ Star Trek reference (not that I watch that). Blue and orange portals.. how imaginative.

Seems like Yahtzee's back in the game a bit more - this was really funny

 

[solarsenshi]

I loled, especially at the "god.... of war" bits. I am glad the Bayo review is confirmed, I own it, love it and will be even more amused by the review because of that

 

[cooldaddy3]

alright alright.. so maby darksiders was not that great and so on and so forth... and we know you are pissed about the coming up rip offs.. but nevertheless good and funny review!

 

[CopperBoom]

I adored this critique.
It was the funniest I have seen in a while and perhaps the clever-est.
I think when the game is the right kind of bad he can really shine.
Thank goodness for this shite game.

Sorry, not a JoeMad fan.

No, Aussie, you are the warhammer

and then Yahtzee was jello.

Goddamn, Wargammer 40k characters aren't that overdrawn. Unless you're a SMkiddo, Aussie.

Yathzee made fun of Warhammer 40,000... WAAAAHHHHHH.... Of course, he was a lot kinder to the original (and rather oversized) Space Marines then he was to Darksiders, so I don't have to send a platoon of killer skunks to his house.

Remember back when combat-heavy games were called Devil May Cry clones?

Ah, those were simpler times...

 

[Hallow'sEve]

"Fucking hell! I AM A MONSTER TRUCK THAT WALKS LIKE A MAN!"
LMAO!
Definitely one of the funniest reviews.

 

[stonethered]

I love the imp sequences during the credits.

 

[Worgen]

meh, I still like it better when he actualy likes games, hearing him just ***** about things gets old very fast

 

[BlueInkAlchemist]

I always enjoy watching ZP, but today's? Today's is fantastic.

Between the Borg Collective, Warhammer 40k, and "I AM A MONSTER TRUCK THAT WALKS LIKE A MAN" I barely stopped laughing.

 

[Hotshots]

Bayonetta is made by the guys who made Devil May cry isn't it?
So its not a rip off...just a reskinned DMC...with tits.

Ancora molto recensione divertente.

 

[Hallow'sEve]

Well then you're on the wrong broadcast lol

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

Yeah I hate characters wearing clothes that must take around three hours to put on.

 

[Godhead]

You do have to throw us 40k boys a throw in the fact that the zerg completely ripped off tyranids.

OT: Good review as always. This one actually seems more like an actual review to me then just making a good ol' rant about it. Good show.

 

[Stabby Joe]

So far I'm enjoying Darksiders, its kind of like Zelda but with a better concept.

And despite taking up most of the review, the art direction is better than what could have been, IE gritty realistic bondage style that plagues most over the top violent action adventures of some form of Mythology.

Dante's Inferno will be the biggest offender... but then again pure hell would loose its impact if in any other style, I'll have to wait a see.

Now to get another thing off my chest. Darksiders response, while great does focus on the derivative elements despite the FACT I know the next Zelda game will be praised to death for its samey elements... at least Darksiders mixed it up with other games.
