Zero Punctuation: The Second Annual E3 Hype Massacre

[Pendragon9]

YEp. Yahtzee was right on everything. None of them seemed to be too interesting, and Nintendo's was the biggest failfest of them all.

Good game, Mr. Yahtzee.

Still waiting on my favorite series by the way. Stupid E3 hogs.

Ending: Ba dumb-tish

I don't know, I kinda like Sony's "wiimote-rip-off-even-though-it's-somehow-better-than-it wand-thing". Also, I loved you choking (I can't really think of what else to call the noise) the theme of the show during the ending.

 

[Darkeagle6]

This video had me laughing to the point where I practically had tears in my eyes by the end credits. Great pessimistic outlook on future gaming possibilities... (Let's not take it too seriously, now, shall we?)

 

[The Sorrow]

Whenever I see Natal, I think of a really good tennis player. Am I alone in this?

Back on topic: You almost made me spray my drink all over my computer, asshole. I loved it.

Once again, a funny look at the debacle that is E3

Although I am slightly looking forward to Assassin's Creed 2

 

[deora2dude]

god that last part is exatcly how i feel about the world... screw you all


though i cant wait for halo reach, its going to be an interesting story, as its following the books... you know those funny little paper things that are entirely made of PLOT. and there are some truly interesting moments that i cant wait for... this is quite promising

 

[Gyrefalcon]

You are entertaining as always Yahtzee, and you did touch on Alan Wake which was the one I most hoped you would check out. But E3 is a hyper ad-fest and we count on your penetrating insight to pick through the muck and point us towards the shiniest targets so we have a better chance of spending time on a worthwhile game instead of frustrated that we have been lured in once again into wasting valuable time on poorly designed ones. I look forward to your next game review.

 

[MrPop]

Some parts were funny but it left me feeling Yahtzee was just being rude to appease his fans who associate him with that. Still did like the "People are shits" section though.

 

[bickster]

The choking at the end ... sounded like a Gremlin to me. When they start to sing at the end of errrr Gremlin's 2 I think.

 

[ThrobbingEgo]

I'm hoping Alan Wake will be good. At the very least, the E3 demonstration looked promising.

 

[toasterslayer]

he sounded excited and upbeat this week. glarghqqghrvi!

 

[Zeekar]

Am I the only person in the world that truly believes that the Griffin in the Last Guardian will survive?

I mean, Team Ico is not known for it's unambiguously happy endings, but they haven't, for the sake of spoilers, killed a protagonist yet.

I mean, I definitely want to believe it's gonna live but more importantly, the evidence supported by past games point to it living or coming back to life after a close call.

TL;DR: Stop saying the poor thing is gonna die! I wont hear it! (babbles and covers his ears) I can't hear you!

 

[Hungryfreak]

No mention of Brütal Legend? I take that as a good sign because Yahtzee couldn't even attempt to criticize it, haha.

 

[Acid Armageddon]

Yay! A New ZP on my birthday! The best gift ever! Also, another very funny one!

 

[Partyjerk]

Yay! A New ZP on my birthday! The best gift ever! Also, another very funny one!

Bit wondering about what you are getting for B-day.. ;D

hope the new games wont be as crappy as yathzee believes :/

 

[Odjin]

Anyone else get the feeling he's just in a bad mood? I mean while quite a few of the E3 shown games do look bad not ALL of them do. I'm looking forward to Assasins Creed 2 and The Last Guardian.

But the thing about Natal I completely agree with.

The Last Guardian ( somebody needs to teach the art guy what a griffin is and especially how one looks like )... yep... I would too... if it would be not on PS3. Potential good game on a crappy console as exclusive title = dip-shit!

 

[Zamn]

That was probably the least funny ZP yet. It's a bit unfortunate to see it go the way of the Simpsons, but that lasted a good 15 years before going to shit. Yahtzee's been much more effecient about it.

There is a certain irony in the fact that the high-brow gamers (if there is such a thing) that Yahtzee very much sees himself a part of have moved on from his videos and he's been left with a crowd of the fanboys he so professes to hate.

 

[Damien the Pigeon]

That was the first ZP that I have actually lol'd at in a good while. (It takes a lot to make me laugh when I'm by myself).
