Strider

This week, Zero Punctuation reviews Strider.

I actually don't like pie, the crust is.. Unpleasant. And I am certainly not hungry after those genitalia images you put in my head.

As for the game? I never actually tried strider before, now that there is a new one I might. I do like me a bit of hacking and slashing.

 

[Evonisia]

Bullet hell is where all Max Payne characters go when they die.

...


But anyway, the images matched the audio (more in sync too) much more often than last weeks so it made the video more enjoyable. I might pick it up when I finished with Thief 'cause it looks like jolly fun (the last game which isn't the best pie but a well made and presented pie I played was Bayonetta so I feel like my chances are good).

This sounds like it would be a game I would have rented and beaten in a drunken weekend. Now I have to justify a full purchase every time I want to get a new game, and this doesn't sound like much more than a brief distraction.

 

[Shalok]

Ahh that long forgotten element to games: Fun.... It's amazing the flaws I will put up with in a game if I am having fun, i'll have to check this one out

 

[Thunderous Cacophony]

At what point do the exploding kunai (sp) show up? If they are as gamebreaking as he says, I hope it's not until very late in the game.

Spoiler: NSFW

So wrong, but it feels so right...

Guess Yahtzee has no love for Branston Pickle anymore. :-(

 

[Grach]

Guess Yahtzee has no love for Branston Pickle anymore. :-(

Or he just found a way of making a Branston Pickle pie.

I have to admit, his representations of the tiger and eagle extensions made me laugh more than I thought it would.

Has Science gone too far?

OT: This seems like a really decent game, but I imagine I'll wait until I see it on sale at some point.

QI told me that the oiginal ninjas actually wore blue so Strider may be more up to code then you think... don't know about that scarf though, maybe it's his clan's muffty day.

 

[Breywood]

I had some good laughs with this one, especially the heavy sigh and admission it was fun. I get the same way with some of the old games I admit aren't great with story or atmosphere but still an enjoyable way to kill some time.

 

[Ryan Hughes]

Seems like Yahtzee is fantasizing about Kunai-lingus.

*Proudly owns up to his terrible pun and walks away*

The original ninjas, insofar as there was such a thing, were peasants who couldn't afford more than a couple sets of clothes all together. They wore whatever they could get their hands on.

 

[Hutzpah Chicken]

I vaguely remember seeing this on Steam, so maybe it's worth picking it up after everyone is foolish enough to buy all of my Steam trading cards. I love turning a profit from people's wastefulness.

 

[JoJo]

Another game I've never heard of... I'm reach out of touch with gaming right now aren't I? Still, good review as always and yes, all praise the almighty Pie!

 

[Mahoshonen]

Well, I just wrapped up Guacamelee, so I'm on a Metroidvania kick. I guess I'll pick this one up.

 

[Synthetica]

Huh, looks interesting enough. Might actually wind up giving this a shot.

 

[TheCaptain]

I actually don't like pie, the crust is.. Unpleasant.

But the juices from the meat seep into the crust and make it delicious!
