[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

grrrrr myopiczeal, here i was typing over my laptop, and luckily I remembered to check to see if you posted a transcript. Luckily I did otherwise I would look like a member of team retard. ;p

Oh, two points I'd like to reply to:

1) Yes, seeing Yahtzee (and I can finally spell it without error! Hoorah!) review The World Ends With You might be an entertainment. He'll probably make a multi-tasking joke.

2) Crikey is used by Brits as well. The people of Australia, as I recall, were convicts shipped there by the Crown. So of course some remnants of their past would remain. And crikey it is. Also, spelling words correctly. Like "colour".

Crikey is british O_O
well i shouldn't be suprised, considering how much of other cultures actually makes it to America I'm suprised I know the little amount I do.

Oh and to the guy who said the gun that shoots shurikens and rockets... and to anyone that gets the shuriken and lightning gun wrong, to quote yahtzee, 4k YOU

I love painkiller, so friggin awesome.

I bought this game a while back. It was pretty entertaining. A little gross, but entertaining.

... sometimes yahtzee slurs his words, although he has been getting better and faster over time,
Also sometimes yahtzee british accent obscures words just a lil too much. And also if you aren't a native english speaker yahtzee is impossible to understand and you need a transcript to understand

If you don't mind me asking, why do you post transcripts?

I dunno; I did it once out of boredom, and people liked it, so I continued. Some of Yahtzee's best lines are spoken so quickly you could miss them.

Ah, thanks. I tend to not notice, since I'm used to accents like his and worse.

Heh. I presume so. I heard Penfold say it in Danger Mouse once or twice. I say it on occasion, and have heard/seen one or two English people say/type it.

oh and everyone needs to go around and use the word Murmporpegah (MMORPG) as much as possible, If they haven't seen Zero punctuation then you can tell them about it. And they will thank you from the bottom of their hearts <3

 

[cutekittenkyti]

murmorpegah i meant....




i think

Nice review, but it wasn't my fav, mainly as I never really got into Painkiller when it was out, side a demo. A demo which was admittedly fun due to the stake gun. I like the new look for the site. Nice not having to close adverts whenever I watch a ZP.

 

[MagnetoHydroDynamics]

You have a pause (OH GOD A PAUSE IN A ZP!!!) wich kinda breaks the flow right after you say "the enemys don't give me stiffies, that would be gay" *pause*

 

[NMG1]

Hilarious.
Yahtzee is back on form after a mediocre GTA4 review (i love that game), with a gun that shoots shirukens and lightening........ LOVE IT!

 

[NeoSpriggan]

Good review, its a bit of a change to see him review a game he really likes. Great, now I need to find a copy of this game now, though i hear its a tad rare.
Oh, and i crave a review of MGS4 since it means i will be playing it the next day or have been playing and have most likely finished it by then. I hope he likes it as much as i know i will.

I wonder if there will be a spike in sales of this game now that this has been reviewed... especially at $9.99 on Steam or otherwise incredibly cheap in a bargain bin.

Painkiller...fun? It's just a gothic take on Serious Sam, every enemy runs screaming towards you (barring the odd ranged attack), you hold left mouse button down and move the crosshair over wave after wave of bad guys, then advancing till you discover a new baddy and hopefully a new weapon so you don't stop playing (lets face it, were ALL about the new toys).

Serious Sam was amusing, but just because PK used the Havok physics engine (woopy-doo, impaling...fun for A WHILE), it's still just an SS clone.

So yeah, just because it's fun for 20 minutes, doesn't change the fact it's just for 20 minutes!

 

[Digikid]

Excellent review for an Excellent game. Well done Yahtzee.

and guys....stop pestering him about Mario Kart.....it really is NOT WORTH REVIEWING and not that good of a game really.

if you didn't play this game or follow it upon its release you should probably stick your dick in a blender and hit the puree button.

 

[tajron85]

1 thing... gun shooting X + lighting can by use like mine hiting with lighting ^^

and "painkiller" gun can be use to fly-cut :>

 

[otterbeans]

I was also expecting "The World Ends With You," but knowing Yahtzee's rabid hate for JRPG's, we probably won't be getting it. I mean, the setting is Shibuya for Christ's sake, I'd be surprised if he's even considered looking at it yet.

A good review, I guess, if a tad redundant. The jokes really aren't as funny or quote-able as they used to be, but still much better than the average review, so I don't have right to complain. Also, this new format is making me a little nervous, is the Yahtzee we know and love going to change into Guitar Hero III? I hope not.

It's a fun review of a pretty boring game. Might have to give it another go, but I just found the action gameplay repetitive and ultimately boring...kill everything you see, period. Then again at $7, who can argue it's not worth trying? Gotta stop drinking coffee when watching Yahtzee...my monitor needs cleaning evrytime damn time.
