Zero Punctuation: Prince of Persia Retrospective

[ZerodMikestar]

I've just noticed Yahtzee puts the "strong man arms" image on a lot of things...just check out the thumbnails for the list of past reviews...

and this review for both male and female strong man arm augmentation

what a peculiar fetish

Fan-TASTIC!

The dick in the pudding part had me in stitches for a full minute.

I would remain optimistic about the new prince of persia game, but as Yahtzee (As well as everyone I know) pointed out it makes a lot more sense to be pessimistic to avoid any potential letdowns.

(Though I'm having a hard time doing that with Fallout 3 on the horizon.)

Edit for: Good god. Even forums have achievements now? What the flaming fuck?

 

[Scarpy]

1: Porrtal
2: Silent Hill 2
3: PoP; Sands Of Time
4: Spiderman 2 (wth?)
5: Fantasy World Dizzy

Sigh, Wolfenstien was such a great game. *Memories*

Another Fantastic review, oh btw Hi everyone

Seems like you have some strong feelings about the second game,

I reckon number 2 in his list is Silent Hill 2 and 4th is Resi4

amiright?

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

Oh PoP 3D, that game was ridiculous, a big grey brick room where if you take a step into a hallway, blades come out and lop your head off, and your head flys away in slow motion because your computer runs like shit.

As for the review I liked it but is it just me or like the prince's dialogue, did some of it seem forced? Last reviews "final analogy" was when my first warning light turned on.

I repeat what everyone else has said:

Obviously Spiderman

 

[jabor88]

Got the games really quickly

1. Portal (Obviously)
2. Silent Hill 2
3. Prince of persia SOT
4. Spider Man 2 (took me a minute to figure it out. My guess is same reason I loved it; Swinging Mechanics)
5. Fantasy World Dizzy
Seeing as theres nothing new to review next week, why dont you explain Spider Man 2 next week

 

[42manZ]

I always though i was the only one to think spiderman 2 was ace. That and goldeneye were the best movie liscence games ever.

I agree. Spider-Man 2 was an awesome game.

 

[Hamster at Dawn]

it is definitely spiderman 2

Spiderman 2 was actually a pretty good game too.

I think Yahtzee reuses alot of sprites to save time when making points I dont think anyone seriously believes the Yahtzee cartoon image ("Yahtzee" sitting at a TV) is drawn again everytime he wants it. If somethings in his library and hes making a point that refers to it I suppose he uses that image. Hes a gamer at heart therin hes a lazy git

 

[StatikShock]

Yahtzee's going to be disgusted with us no matter what we do, given that we're human beings (and, in some cases, American). Might as well make an effort to pay attention to the work he puts into his satire.

I think it's just silly, personally. I am a fan of his, and I make sure (Even at work) to try and catch the new ZPs right when they come out, but I wasn't one who would email him about his end-of-video sarcastic questions, or send him scathing responses when he has a differing opinion on a game. His reviews are opinions and entertainment, two things he is good at.

And I can't really fault him for having a default stance of hating Americans, most of us are pretty shitty, and even I find it easier when meeting someone to take the default stance of "you are an idiot and/or asshole until you prove otherwise."

And I would still be curious to see his review of Overlord... or maybe Gungrave.

 

[cianer]

This is hilarious, three factions of people arguing over whether game #4 is Spiderman 2, Silent Hill 4 or Resi Evil 4 just so they can prove they are Yahtzee fanboys and earn his disgust. =) The icing on the cake is you all calling each other idiots, which has brightened up an otherwise dull Wednesday.

His top 5 will likely be listed as an addendum to next week's review followed by an insult, as per the Flak Towers from MOH. I await the "I told you so" shit-flinging session with my popcorn at the ready.

[Jolly Madness]

Spiderman? It looks like Killer 7 to me...

Nevermind, that screenshot killed my hopes.

 

[Hepatitus Q]

Everybody's still posting about Yahtzee's top 5? Sheesh

 

[LadyZephyr]

Jesus christ, people it's Portal, Prince of Persia, Silent Hill 2, Spider-man 2, and Fantasy World Dizzy. It has to be Spider-Man 2, you can see the hyphen.

No, not trying to earn Yahtzee's disgust, it's just that he didn't do much to hide what his picks were. A few hits with a pixelation filter is not a good cover-up for people who know their fucking games.

And in defense of Spider-Man 2 (which I thought was a decent-but-only-that game)... I remember climbing to the very top of the Empire State Building, looking down to see all the cars driving around on the streets below. Then I leapt off and plummeted for a good seven seconds before swinging away. It was one of the greatest moments in gaming I've ever had.

It wasn't for the person watching me play, who nearly got sick from the vertigo, but still.

Really funny, better than usual. I love the SoT triology, although I haven't played WW yet. Technically, I haven't played Two Thrones either, I played Rival Swords, The Wii Version of Two Thrones. It's exactly the same, so I wonder why they changed the name.

personally i love the doctor who nod at the end.
the tom baker imp made my day.
