Zero Punctuation: The Conduit

[Souplex]

Almost every complaint about the gameplay can be resolved in the options menu.

Probably isn't THAT bad.
but I have to admit it does have some crucial flaws.


Now i wanna play metroid prime...

Thou shall not be on the wii... did anybody else notice that? lol

This episode actually had me pausing it (on the second "look it up") and going for like 20 mins on wikipedia before coming back and finishing watching it. Risky move Yahtzee =P

I'd like to see a real list of game design deadly sins.

 

[crazy-j]

that was awesome! he really didnt like this one. i liked the ending. nail your tounge to a subway. i rofled

 

[Cogzwell]

sorry i was wrong, the last wii game reviewed in the last 16 weeks was Wii sports resort, so stop complaining the the wii is brought out in the spotlight

Everyone NOT from Alaska thought that was funny. I am very much with him on the Wii. Mine is sitting in a closet, not even the kids want to play anymore.

Nintendo alienated their longstanding fanbase with the Wii. They even said something very similar to the fact they are no longer catering to those that have been with them since the beginning etc but to the broad family etc.

BULL. SHIT.

Stop making shit up. Nintendo's representatives have stated over and over again that they aim to make games that appeal both to new gamers and and longstanding fans. Within the first year or so they'd released a game from pretty much every one of their major franchises for the Wii, which is pretty incredible for Nintendo.

...

Anyways, as for the review...

It really... wasn't very funny, except for the closing joke. I've enjoyed the last two or three reviews a lot more than this one, for sure.

I will admit I was pretty hyped up about The Conduit for a while. I'm sure it's a decent game, and I actually considered picking it up a week ago, but I already have a bunch of barely played yet great games for my Wii (I don't play much these days :S), so I'm not going to pay full-price for a game that probably isn't better than "decent" right now.

I'm definitely getting myself that Metroid Prime Trilogy, however. All three games were awesome, and I don't have my own copy of Metroid Prime 3 yet, so it's a great deal. Plus, the first two games can only be better with MP3's control scheme.

What does he mean you can't look up? Can you angle upwards and just not look directly up or is your vision linear and your aiming angular? I haven't played this game and I wonder if I should get it.

Another Wii game, another dollar for Nintendo.

Why "und natürlich" at 3:52? 0_-

I think it's German for whatever Yahtzee was saying then.

 

[FrogDude14]

The reason most people like the Conduit is for the online play. Which is awesome. However Yahtzee did not mention it. The review was funny but I think Yahtzee's hate for the Wii is becoming very unhealthy for him.

 

[ssgt splatter]

Nail your tongue to a subway train. OUCH! Yet very funny visual. Ha ha!

{EDIT} "Oh and since he made such a big deal about it"...Episode 101 YAY! It's just a number!

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

I enjoy two things about this episode of zero puncuation.the sound the orb makes,and the people who pretend to of seen it seconds after it is posted,it is funny to laugh at them

The wii just isnt up to it as a gaming platform. It can only really do party fun games to play when your in from a night out, and even then its a stiffly contested battle with pictionary. That said, the raving rabbids party game always has me in bits, first game designed to be played with your ass, now thats what the wii was built for, stick to that.

 

[RAMBO22]

I completely agree with Yahtzee on this one, the Conduit is terrible. I bought all the hype, I own a Wii and not a PS3 or a 360 and I thought this might be the Wii's lone 3rd party haraah. Boy was I wrong, because this game is a waste of 50 dollars and isn't even good by WII STANDARDS. Repetitive levels, confusing and uneffective controls, and a bogus plot had me setting this game down about 33% of the way through the game

 

[Kilgorn]

great as always, and palin bashing never gets old, especially since she is a quitter and is retarded.

my friend rented this game from gamefly because i would never degrade myself to owning a wii, but since it was multiplayer i asked if we could play that instead of SSBB with no items on final destination for the 100 milliontih time but he said he returned it the next day because it was just a glorified light gun game but 100 times harder

Another Wii game, another dollar for Nintendo.

You would think that since 70% of the Wii's games are third party crap, Nintendo would be losing money. (The Conduit isn't in that 70%) But most people can tell by looking at the covers of Wii games what games are crap and what isn't.

Teehee YOU are the ONLY ONE.
