Zero Punctuation: The Second Annual E3 Hype Massacre

[bodyklok]

Well that.. Could of been better, most of what you've said has already been said before and better.

If you really didn't want to do a review this week then you could of uploaded one of your old youtube reviews and told everyone you were sick, or just lazy.

 

[Jursa]

Well this very well summed up E3 actually...

 

[Marowit]

Does anyone feel it was slightly rushed this week? I suppose he has got a lot of content to get through but still...

I agree. Dunno, but I found this to be one of his poorer reviews. For a once a year review, unless he's required to keep it under 5mins, a longer review would have probably been better.

 

[GrinningManiac]

I do hope you can punch Milo. Immersion aside, he's far too cheery. Like some godawful Disney TV programme character. He just oozes in helpfulness and charming naivity. A real kid would throw a tantrum/run away/get in a fight/cry

 

[GOATOFRAGE]

personaly, natal looks staggering, if it works,

thats the point, if it works

The only reasonable promising thing at E3 was the part about Supreme Commander 2, the rest needs to kill their design team and hire a new one and create a new game, not in a any way shape or from like their previous ones.

Sup Com 2 and Ruse seemed to be the only things I liked about E3... like Yahtzee said in his review.... everything (else) was shit..... And I didn't watch the actually thing about Sup Com 2 (just read about it) and Ruse they only had the trailer.... no more..... E3 gets more stupid and annoying everytime......

BTW I wonder if there is anyway to let people know that I stopped playing my Wii (except for Brawl) cause I got bored of waving my arms around.... I don't care for Microsoft (cause I hate the 360) but I don't want the PS3 ruined (I played my 360 1 or 2 times, then hated it, and Wii got my arms to tired, and PS3 is the only console I still play alot...... but I don't think I will have to worry about having to quit playing PC games.... which I play my PC more than everything else)

 

[rasmusernst]

Well, it's hard for me to get excited about any of the games, they were plugging at e3 this year. Everything looks like stuff I've seen done before, and better.

I do agree with Yahtzee about Assassins Creed 2, though:
Maybe Assassins Creed 2 could be good, if they actually give Desmond those assassin skills, like they were hinting at, at the end of AC1. Skills I would promptly use to tear the larynx out of that anal Abstergo doctor, by the way

 

[Hamster at Dawn]

When he started going through games I was pissing myself.
Beatles Rockband, it's like Badger Mammal, Inspector Morse Detective, Harmonix Obvious Cash-in.
All the puns on the titles were brilliant.

 

[McMarbles]

Very disappointing. No Sarah Palin Jokes about Bayonetta?

 

[Erazor521]

Oh boy, I laughed. The whole video was just great.

 

[Sylocat]

Why? Because people are shit. Whenever I'm in a crowd, I think to myself, "Who left this shit all over the place?" I'm shit, you're shit, the world is shit, and if you're sitting there thinking, "Yes, it's true, everyone is shit except me," then you're a double-bacon shit with large fries, Mr. Shitface.

"The fool believes himself to be wise. The wise man knows he is a fool." ? Socrates

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawaolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaa lol i died

 

[brazuca]

Yahtzee you forgot Splinter Cell ConViction, Modern Warfare 2 and the new Star Wars MMORPG (you know to bash it with that super trailer, that will never be like the game).
Now E3 is all about hyping, like when you are a virgin and is just about to make sexy. It's over to soon, not as good as you expected and some ressentiment is left. Long life to E3.

PS: please review Prototype, cause I wanna know who cloned who (Prototype or inFamous)

 

[all the tramps]

hehe because people are shit! ah i was hoping he was going to say people equal shit. i wounder if that was refrence to slipknot

 

[Upturned Walrus]

Meh i waited a whole week for another E3 sum up but cuz i love yahtzee im going to let this one slip by

 

[HotTubTony]

definitely the best one in a long time. Everything he said was absolutely true.

 

[Stabby Joe]

You can't apply the motion sensing to a game like Gears of War and Call of Duty, there to much action.

By the way the Nintendo referrence was spot on.

Whats also interesting is that the next Team Ico game has caused many to think the beast will die (GamesRadar for one)... maybe the word LAST Guardian implies death from the beginning.

I just wonder what Yahtzee thinks about this DS scribble game that won most critics re-release awards...

Another is Modern Warfare 2. He somewhat liked the first although the trailer wasn't TJAT impressive, meh might as well wait and see.

Not much really wowed me this year, in the long term I'm just waiting for God of War III while in the short term I'll get Overlord II, charming game.

 

[Iampringles]

The throaty strangling noise sure was unique and interesting.

 

[the1corrupted]

The video was wonderful and I agree with Yahtzee on ALL of his points raised in this review.

However, he did not mention the oncoming of Mass Effect 2. Combat has been improved, and hopefully, so has playability! Then it'll be worth a damn!

As for God of War III and Gears of War III (Holy crap, they're both "of war" and have a III stapled on the end).. When you've seen Cratos (sp?) split open one skill with his fist, you've seen them ALL! As for Gears of War, Yahtzee would call it a "generic brown FPS that's the color of shit."
