Zero Punctuation: Infamous 2

[Zetsubou^-^]

so cole auto wins this bout with prototype because he got his game out first? i bet yahtzee wanted to see them do that dress stunt again XD

it is interesting that yahtzee gave it such a seemingly good review despite the "moral choice-but not really" mechanic. i guess it really must have some merit.

Infamous 2

This week, Zero Punctuation reviews Infamous 2

Watch Video

... well that's odd! What was that bit about a Romanian judge @4:35 all about?
I'm asking because I honestly couldn't make any heads or tails of it ...and I'm Romanian!

Also, this has to be THE most lenient review I have seen in a long while, and following the one from Duke Nukem Forever... GREAT SCOTT Yahtzee! I hope you're not going Soft on us.

good God, that was an extraordinarily positive review

gonna get this game, when I was originally not planning to try it at all

 

[CrawlingPastaHellion]

Best one he's done in ages. I would play that game if I were a console freak, but as we all know it I'm an honest citizen of "The Ultimate PC Master Nation", i.e. "The Fourth Reich".

I wish infamous was on xbox360

wait the city called new marais...do they know it mean it mean new swamp

 

[Wado Rhyu]

a third morel stand point must be introduced and its called i don't give a f*ck. you will be realy good at this if you choise good or bad randomly ( basicly a "grey" char ). but the powers must be a little more weaker then truely good or evil.

He liked a sequel, let's pop the champagne. First bottle is mine.

Now I feel like playing it.

 

[Lesd3vil]

OH GOD, YAHTZEE'S USING MEMES D:

but true, shockingly he's being kind of nice to a game for once, he must REALLY like it... I wonder when Prototype 2 is being released, if we'll get the same malarkey as last time where he plays them off against each other and then asks for the best lingerie pictures of the opposite game's character >>

 

[Squilookle]

You know what? this was probably one of the best -actual review- like ZPs. I got quite an insight into the game from this, and while it was less about the comedy, it still had me bursting out laughing a few times (particularly Brisbane and the sock in the fruit basket for some reason).

It was the discussion about what makes a good sandbox and especially the talk about moral choice systems that really stuck out though- it seemed to elevate the video right up to extra punctuation levels of 'worth listening to'.

Plus it redoubled my conviction that with everything he has said about sandboxes, he'd probably love M&B Warband...

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

To be fair, being evil is easier.
Well at least at the beginning, where you either toast everyone or fight it out precisely, but after that it pretty much becomes redundant.
Apart from the fact that you can kill civillians, hence allowing you to use your sky-f*@k moves consequence free!
Though i was quite suprised he liked it.
Maybe it was because of the rather enjoyable noise pigeons make when they hit the ground...
But great, funny review once again!

 

[Treaos Serrare]

you know Yahtzee's comment at the end there about electrified wee reminded me about a thought i had my self, during this game you basically romance one of the two lead ladies(if not for their powers than for the interesting dialogue when they get flirty) and my thought was this, since Infamous 1 its been stated(subtly) that Cole has an ever present and seemingly unconsciously controlled electric field around him that trashes most conductive things he comes in contact with(how his goddamn phone works or how ANY radio signal works with his big electric ass around is a mystery) ANYWAY my thought was this does his dong emit electricity like the rest of him and if so how the hell would he be able to bone a regular or super-powered chick?

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

Wow, that has to be the most favorable review I've seen Yahtzee do.

Except the one for Portal. But yeah I was quite surprised he actually liked it.

I too am a bit in shock (har!). I just finished the first game (thanks, free game!) and was not horribly impressed by its moral choice and insanely strong mook enemies, but did find it fairly enjoyable over all.
