So I watch all your videos. I think your sense of humour and insights are downright brilliant. I've been hooked on this game, so I was excited to see your take on it. The review fucking sucked, or lack of a review that is. In fact I had to register just to ***** about it and I never register for anything.

This game lazily recycled 75% of its code from Fallout 3 and somehow is 500% buggier. However, people can't stop playing it. At first I was incredibly disappointed, but then started to see how much better everything was laid out. The plot, the humour, the sub-quests, the back stories are all richer and make the game far more entertaining. You failed to comment on any of these things and wasted my fucking time with Glen Miller and your step by step description of what you decided to do in the game.

Just admit that you didn't have nearly enough time to even scrape the surface of this game and threw this review like a comic throws a set because he doesn't like the audience. Meanwhile, despite your laziness this time round, your patriotic followers praise the review just because it's different than your usual style...which is actually reviewing the game.

Maybe the karma doesn't make a difference, but you failed to mention the introduction of "reputation" with the different factions. This is the closest I've seen to a choice-based game actually having a somewhat realistic impact on the the outcome of the story.

Anyway, I thought you might actually have some interesting and funny things to say about this monumental game and you half assed it like you got hammered the night before and then threw it together at the last minute.

You know I'm right.

would it be too much to ask, if i asked you to do a narration of everything in fallout new vegas? that was more entertaining than the actual game, and i like the game.

Honestly... as Yatzee says not really just adds more factors in it, infact I found "Hardcore Mode" not hardcore enough! The Fatal Flaws being that I Didnt dehydrate fast enough and i couldn't use bottles i own in my inventory to make bottled water (Although I know there is a mod for that)

But ya I Have overplayed that game xD

Damn, you really are busy with being a lazy wanker, i see. Too busy to notice the developer change, the subsequent increase in GREATNESS and the nice tone change from sickly green to sexy orange (or you could use Fellout). New Vegas is FUCKTONES better that 3. Maybe its the original Van Buren team, maybe the budget, but i. had. fun. Oh yes, and hardcore mode is for the hardcore, not for Yahtzee "OMG NOT THE CRAFTING".

HC was very immersive for me at the start of the game, when food and water was so scarce/not worth buying with my few caps.

Later on, it just seems pointless.

As for the health, it makes sense, it stops you from charging into any battle, nearly dying, instantly healing up and repeating till dead.

If you want immersion/difficulty, disable your VATS. it really makes the game much tougher, and the bullet time just took you right out of everything frequently.

I was confused about that soda-dehydration thing myself...
It makes a twisted sort of sense, but when you'r finding Sunset Sasparilla everywhere and NEED HEALTH NOW and are in the middle of the desert and have run out of water...
Freaking pain in the ass.

Funny thing though. I haven't run into bugs yet. 'Cept for, you know, Radscorpions. And Radroaches.

Funny review, I was happy to finally have played a game that was reviewed. ^^,

Not going to lie, I definitely lost some respect for Yahtzee when he got annoyed over pop making him dehydrated. Since, you know, it really does dehydrate people.

I'm actually enjoying New Vegas a fair bit more than I did Fallout 3 -- and I think that's mostly because it doesn't crash as much and because I'm playing an asshole with a hammer. It really does cut down on the time spent in "conversation"

Also, it seems more varied.

Can I just say that I really appreciated the whole "realistic narration" thing. I, as a game reviewer (My personal site is www.thekountryklub.yolasite.com) know the value of mixing up the content of reviews.

I really like this Style of the review, but you should not do it again.
Its the unique stile which makes it that great.
The first time it is funny as hell though :)
One of my favorite ones, but nothing tops the Prototype vs Infamous or the duke nukem forever one :D

Oh Yahtzee! Why no mention of the game's disguise mechanic? You know, where you can wear the clothing of an opposing faction to go around in their towns, doing their quests and trading without being shot at (unless you go too close to the very rare NPC set on spy-catcher status). You can even wear the outfits of neutral factions to pin your misdeeds on them in some cases. Surely that's a feature that should become absolutely standard in all future crpgs. It's a rare case of genuine f****g innovation that doesn't involve graphics, and as such deserves a mention regardless of whether you liked the rest of the game. Here's a handy phrase for you to steal with minor editting: 'even if the rest of the game sucked donkey's bollocks, the disguise system was a genuine effort at gameplay innovation - you know 'gameplay'...that old thing we used to like before we all became slaves to Nvdia'- here's a case of genuine gameplay innovation (yes Assassin's creed and other stealth games kind of did it, as did Hitman, but it plays out completely differently in a faction-driven crpg, so that makes it stand on its own).'
