Zero Punctuation: Prince of Persia

[Magnikai]

You know...I haven't been finding Yahtzee funny recently....but this one had me laughing until I started coughing....thank you New Year! I needed some funny in my day

I think Yahtzee was trying to say: " OK, Its a good game, but its not sands of time and I don't wanna like it. "
This was actually pretty positive review from Yahtzee.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Yet again, it seems Yahtzee is going out of his way to find extra flaws. He comments so meekly on the perks, and then wastes a large majority of time complaining about all kinds of things. Then he says it's nice, and complains that he enjoys it.

Everything becomes so very bizarre when Yahtzee wants to like a game, almost because he can't bring himself to. Despite all of that, at least it's a step in the right direction, even if it's still trying too hard to be something it isn't anymore.

That's what makes his reviews so popular.

It amazes me how often ZP's analogy of "beating a dead horse till its twitching resembles action" (to paraphrase) fits for so many titles.

 

[acebrainbuster]

i say the graphics are cool. but yeah its a little repetative... ok it gets a little tiresume after a while with all the repetitiveness but i digress, its ok with me but i doesn't seem like a game that you want to play again after you beat it

Good to see Yahtzee after the shitastical clip show last week, which didn't even deserve the comments it got.

Glad to see that he still (kinda) likes the (kinda) series, even through all of it's trials and tribulations.
And he's still pissed about Mirror's Edge! Hah!

 

[snuffler]

i never did play any of the PoP games, I feel like I'm somehow missing out...

 

[BrightDeathFriend]

I can understand why he dislikes Mirrors Edge. The only positive features of that game are the graphics and, i guess, the plot. The gameplay looks so frustrating, especially when she does a forward roll. >_>
If it had a better camera angle...then maybe it would be a game worth renting at least. lol

 

[Hey_look_a_cat]

Good review as always.... i have nothing to say that hasn't already been said

 

[NovaStalker]

I loved the The Nameless One reference near the end since I had just minimized PS:T to watch the video

 

[LadyZephyr]

Oh crap, I haven't laughed so hard at one of Yahtzee's reviews in ages.

 

[panicbutton]

Thank you Yahtzee, for keeping me laughing all the way into 2009...

Oh, and spot on with the review as well.

Cheers,

Erg - I have to say that I agree with everything regarding the game play, but definitely disagree about the dialog. I thought it was really well written (though his point about constantly slamming you with plot elements you understood ages ago was quite apt.) I also wish Yahtzee would stop with his American bashing...when is he, Europe, Australia, and frankly, a lot of America, going to realize that we as Americans are nothing special. Everywhere in the world is filled with idiots, assholes, pedophiles, immature people, and commercialism. Just because we are in the limelight so often, and just because we constantly have stupid shit jammed down our throats (because we are a huge world market) doesn't mean that your smart ass sweeping stereotypes about this huge fucking country are justified.

And that is why I loved zero punctuation...

 

[subhuman]

kinda thought he would be more brutal towards it but ill have to agree

 

[Podunk]

Another amusing review of a game I will probably have to play once I find the keys to my self-imposed Wii dungeon and snag myself a real console. (Around November or so, when Brutal Legend comes out... and 100 bucks says Yahtzee's gonna review it!) Now let's see how many times I watch it whilst I twiddle my thumbs and wait for next week's review. ^^

 

[007Loser]

I actually thought about buying this game too. I'll wait till it comes down in price.
