Not Bioshock? Yahtzee, you charismatic stallion. Way to not jump on the bandwagon like every other freaking reviewer in existence. *clap**clap*

Huh, I might pick this up, sounds interesting.

EDIT: You guys can stop quoting me with how bad the game plays, I wouldn't buy it right now anyways, I was talking about getting it when Steam had it for $5 or some shit like that. God knows I've done worse with my money.

Like buy the Legend of Alon Dar on a whim.

I mean Bioshock is a game he can take his time in getting to. The general opinion is that its a masterpiece, so what if he takes a little while getting around to it? Honestly,if you were going to buy it, or not, you've made that call by now.

Huh. After Angry Joe's review, I figured this review would be a bloodbath too. Because what he showed looked pretty bad, and not just graphics-wise, but also the zombie AI. Yeah, they're brainless, but navigating a doorway or walking straight at you without turning around and smashing a nearby wall is still the least we'd expect.

Maybe they patched it? Eh, anyway, didn't care about this game before Angry's review, didn't care after, still don't really care.

And BTW, I'm still deciding if I buy Bioshock or wait for a price drop.

No, no it doesnt, the only positive thing to say about it is that since the budget was so tight they couldnt manage to fill it with QTE an scripted setpieces. It still sucks a lot more then it should.

Well, he was actually a lot gentler to this game than everyone else.

Not that I'm about to rush out and buy it. It may not be quite as shit as some have made it out to be, but it is waaaaay below average.

HA! That was a very good end credits joke. :) Well done.

As for the game, same it doesn't do more with it's ideas.
Oh well. Bioshock next week at least, right? That should be good.

I can't tell if I was surprised by how nice this review was to Survival Instinct because that was what I've been hearing everywhere else, or if it's because I'm such a Telltale fanboy that I can't stand the idea of something else being even worth mentioning in the same breath...

In my opinion, it's worth the 60. So it's well worth the 40-50.

Eaten by Stegosaurus...yeah, I can sympathise, zombies usually aren't interesting anymore, which is a shame, because they could be done in actually interesting ways as long as people bother.

I must ask, did you actually watch the episode? It said a couple of times that he's doing it next week.

He just needs to think up some butt metaphors first.

So he is jumping on this bandwagon, just later than everyone else. Although I'm not sure how reviewing Bioshock Infinite would be particularly bad.

Everyone really wants YZ to review Bioshock, I bought it on steam for sod all pounds. It is good, but the AI got thrown out of special school. So it's nice he didn't because I don't want him to ruin it before I have finished it.
