Zero Punctuation: Prince of Persia

[tortured3679]

I wouldve loved the game but it strayed away from the sands of time... everything looks good though except the combat..

 

[MrShrike]

good review, didnt find it laugh out loud material, yet its still good to see yahtzee getting his nickers in a twist over PoP
liked the joker-B. franklin though...

 

[Vlane]

Finally he reviewed it!

It's nice that he likes it but this one wasn't really funny.

 

[letsnoobtehpwns]

i got a boner when he said something about a girl massaging you while you watch her twin sister doing aerobics in a leotard 3 sizes to small

 

[Volothos]

Good review as always!

 

[mambi]

ok what is up with this US bashing the game was made by Ubisoft Montreal (thats Canada) and Ubisoft is a company that started in France.

 

[Washboard]

i think he sort of liked it...

I'm surprised people think Yahtzee disliked the game. He liked Bioshock, and he compared it to a kick in the balls. I think he hit the nail on the head here. The flow of the game is still good and enjoyable, trading gorgeous cell shading for some annoying quips like the slow sliding down a wall and requiring absolutely no puzzling whatsoever. The combat was everything bad about quick time events ever. Story was generic, but I could enjoy the characters one liners a bit because I just thought of it like a terrible B movie.

it was okay i guess, a "meh" maybe dont know, its too early to care that much, yet i want to check it out also i want to hear more about yathzees game damage show

Yeah, good point! What's actually gonna happen with gamedamage? Would I be the only person here who thought that the gamedamage pilot was pretty good?

 

[BrightDeathFriend]

hehe...I like the idea...maybe part of the New Year's celebrations!

 

[Fightgarr]

I just realized his comment about American developers which shows some ignorance considering that its shown in the fucking intro sequence that its by Ubisoft (which is Canadian) and is a Ubisoft Montreal production.

 

[lazypenguin]

I agree with the POP series being dead. I played the first level of this game and had no interest with the 'freerunning' content, as I've already played Assassin's Creed. =/

 

[Ophiuchus]

I still cackle like a witch every time I see "oh no everyone can see my bum", he must've used that several times now.

Well played.

 

[daedrick]

More than 3 sequels = automatic failure. Like always... but people dont learn.




Wow, thats one big report buton right there. Is it new? I wonder what happen if I press it. I mean its so big how can I not press it. Even if I tried not to press it I couldnt because its so big... damn its big. Did I say its big?

 

[AceDiamond]

is it just me or did it seem that yatzee actually gave a "glowing" review to a game?

It wasn't quite as positive as BioShock, Psychonauts or the Orange Box, but it wasn't as despicable as Too Human, Condemned 2 or Clive Barker's Jericho. Which means that the shiny new Prince of Persia joins the ongoing cavalcade of mediocrity streaming out from places like Hollywood and Epic.

fixed

Anyway while I again think that not being able to die in what is essentially a platformer on roids makes a game too easy, and I still don't agree with the dying in Mirror's Edge being a crucial flow-breaking problem because frankly, hearing the noise of Faith's shinbones going into her pelvis after falling 30 feet to death was awesome for some reason, I can see the point that flow is important.

Still not necessarily agreeing though.

 

[FoxLiquid]

you wait for one persons thoughts on a game. base your thoughts by playing the gaem not listening(although he's probably right).

 

[CrafterMan]

Haha was a great rant as usual with some good key points!

Well done Yahtzee, you make my Thursdays oh-so-enjoyable.

Well put, i totally agree that slamming America is low because every fucking other nation in the whole world is the same,mabye not as high tech but they have idiot, bitchz, asshole, freaks and everything else and people can only say, "America is the country thats making all the bad stuff happen" FUCK THAT. we have the same problams as them just we are noticed more.

 

[BrightDeathFriend]

All nations have their good and bad parts. Whether people choose to acknowledge the good or the bad parts is where the problems lie.

Enough said about that really! lol.
