strangely, the strangled back-of-throat noise was the best bit, as it summed up my thought on FF13 too....i hate FF, zelda wins hands down
heh, you should see the pants on head f***skull re***ed theories b.net users have for halo:reach 0_o i lost even more faith in humanity when i layed eyes upon them, time travel? chief being in 2 places at once? i swear, my brain cells are commiting suicide just thinking about it

A fun little trip down E3's future memory lane. We need more of these.
I especially liked the bit about Assassin's Creed 2. I join Yahtzee in his pessimism concerning that franchise. The first game, which I sadly paid full price for, was absolutely terrible despite ridiculously impressive reviews. Repetitiveness is DEATH TO FUN in open worlds, I don't care what any supporter says.
Final Fantasy XIII might actually be good, despite the gurgling. I enjoy the look and the idea of messing with stats for hours to make my characters powerful at really low levels once again. Even if it is linear (and frankly, I kind of miss linear gameplay when it was done right), it will be long and it should have an interesting story that's complex enough for writers who understand plot. That ticks everything necessary to me.
Of course, a game doesn't need to have giant men smoking cigars and shooting aliens with portal miniguns to satisfy me, unlike how it often is with Yahtzee. Yes, fanboys and fangirls will probably love Final Fantasy XIIItoo much, and it does have the potential to bow to their wishes for more emo angst a la Advent Children, but that shouldn't ruin core appeal.

I join you in wishing he mentioned it. However, on the bright side, this was the list of games he didn't think would end up any good. Its omission COULD be an intentional good thing. However, GSDS isn't necessarily on Yahtzee's radar. He concerns himself with mainstream releases, mostly.PureChaos said:
To be honest, that wasn't anywhere near as good as the last E3 related vid, i mean, the talk relating to Natal and Nintendo kind of worked but i think the rest would have been more substantiated if you stuck to just 2 or 3 key games, but hey maybe I'm bitter because I'm looking forward to Alan Wake and the joke relating to it was pretty lame
Hahaha, if this doesn't prove to the fans that Yahtzee is not a serious review, then I don't know what will. The Bayonetta line also had me lol'ing.
I don't care for the console war neither. Only the PC rocks for playing games... that is... except you want to play some party games split screen with buddies but for real games neither of the console is worth a dime. So console exclusive titles are bad.Orange Monkey said:
What goes for Toriko I would not mind if they did something different... but please do it then RIGHT! This mess there looks so ugly it's annoying. The only good thing are the animations in the trailer which are great. I only have this faint feeling that the in-game animations will be crap because it's ( as far as I know ) only an oversized means of transportation.
It was very funny, but I couldn't believe that you were actually under the impression that Assassin's Creed II was going to take place in the future. I mean, wasn't it obvious that it's going to take place in another part of history? Anyway, I think it's going to be good, especially because I liked the first one.
Oh, and again, this one was REALLY funny, and I actually laughed out loud, which was something that your reviews didn't make me do for quite some time now.
