Zero Punctuation: Top 5 of 2010

[Giest4life]

Review

I don't get why People like Amnesia. I couldn't find anything scary about it. It's just boring.

It's not overtly scary. Most of the scariness comes from your own mind, that requires a certain level of intelligence.

Is that in defense of the game? Because that is borderline retarded.

It's funny that he called you stupid; and you didn't notice, effectively proving him right.

Incedentally, I discover on later pages that the two of you settled your differences and I've only served to make myself look like a jackass. Sorry.

Also, if you notice that the first post was not directed towards me---and that makes you look like a jackass.
Also, ignoring is not the same as not noticing. Which, in hindsight, I should have done with your post.

Fuck yes! Just Cause 2 was my game of the year, too.

I still haven't bothered to play the story campaign of the game because of the sandbox gameplay, and I bought that thing 8 months ago.

Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary was the "bad" music. Just to help you guys look it up.

 

[NoCure]

I normally don't agree with Top # lists through and through, this one is pretty close though.

I just which Halo Reach would have been Bottom 1.

It only takes seven agency missions to actually complete the game. So it's worth getting it out of the way. Plus it's really easy

How are you playing Dead Rising? Or Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood?

DR2 with the worst graphics and ACB at a friends Xbox360

 

[Elandin]

Good list, thugh I'm suprized that Super Meat Boy wasn't in there, that game was awesome, and a pic of a WoW box... a hint of things to come...? Or just him not having the patience to play the thing.

Well I didn't except Yahtzee to hate Other M that much

That game pissed me off so royally that when he mentioned it I went into a rant to everyone nearby about how fucking offensive that game was and how much I think Team Ninja should just fucking stay away from game franchises with female protagonists. Other M is one of the very few games that I call outright sexist I hate Team Ninja for Other M.
If I don't control myself I'll make a 3000 word essay right here about my hatred towards this game so I'm gonna stop there.

Team Ninja didn't have anything to do with the story. And Just what makes it sexist? that Samus takes order from a man? by that logic the army is full of racist people

Fair enough Team ninja had nothing to do with the story, but you wanna know what makes it sexist? How about Samus going from silent protagonist who is effectively just an asskicker to a whining emotional wreck who won't do a fucking thing until she's told it's okay. A submissive character who won't shut the fuck up and who cracks under pressure at the first sign of conflict they not only retconned Samus they retconned her into something she is the exact opposite of. Other M's story was melodramatic bullshit Metroid prime 3: Corruption had an emotional moment at the end that put every line of dialog in Other M to shame. God dammit I want to stop talking about that piece of shit!

I could go on and say tha tyou are wrong. But I will not

To explain what Metroid Other M is, is it's not loudly sexist. What it really is, is a sick relationship. Samus feelings for her ex-commander were beyond right. Putting her life in danger for him, keeping her heat suit off untill he told her to turn it on, almost dieing.

He even shot her to get her attention, he could've killed her. No, he couldn't call her attention, he needed to shoot her.

This games plot was poorly made, and got worse because it was more written that Gameplay would get in the way of said story then help it. The heat world is proof of this, if the story was made to blend with gameplay, then that means the commander was watching her slowly die and waited 'till she nearly was dead before saying, 'okay, you can now turn your heat armour on.'

After the Kane & Lynch review it would be impossible to surprise me with your number one worst, I was however surprised with bioshock 2 over say Singularity, Alpha Protocol or Dante's Inferno.

 

[MulticolorCharizard]

And if he (and anyone, for that matter) didn't find video games this year to be too impressive, he's going to be more disappointed next year. I predict 2011 will be all about sequels to shooter game franchises (no matter how many sequels they've already produced) and a total focus on motion sensor games, whether it be Kinect, Move or Wii Motion Plus.

Oh how naive

Skyrim
Catherine
LBP2
Arkham City
Mass Effect 3
The Last Guardian
MVC3
Dragon Age 2
Homefront

Etcetera

 

[REDDJ2]

Why is Red Dead Redemption on everyones top 10
-Its hella easy
-It gets boring after awhile
-The story made me yawn and not give a damn
-It is literaly Grand Theft Auto 4 but set in the wild west


I know everyone has their own opinions but really? Red Dead?
2010 was a crappy year, so crappy in fact Ive been playing old games because of the lack of originality in the newer games, Most new games are only fun because of multi-player support

Also dont reply or say anything about this comment. I wanna see how many Reply or talk about my comment

I'm not vain i just wanna see how many people do it

Just Cause 2 was really a game that decided to show off all the crazy you could do in a sandbox game. Unfortunately, the sheer size of the map kept me from going past around 40% completion, which is funny in it's own right because I think you get an achievement for getting something like 33% completion. In terms of giving you tools to cause mayhem, some great, actually colorful graphics (a rarity lately) and an actually workable interface, few sandbox games can actually hold a candle to Just Cause 2. A flaw I can really find is the lack of...traveling sound. I mainly used the grapple hook/parachute combo and it would have been nice to have something like a personal radio in order to listen to some funny talk radio, or corny Panauan music. Other than that though, a forgiving targeting system on normal that mixed great with a run and gun style of gameplay and a plethora of ways to achieve a massive level of destruction made for a rare game that many developers could seriously only hope to make.

 

[Moffman]

Good lists, disagree with FFXIII but am a bit of a fan boy has to be said, really funny ending

 

[Moffman]

After the Kane & Lynch review it would be impossible to surprise me with your number one worst, I was however surprised with bioshock 2 over say Singularity, Alpha Protocol or Dante's Inferno.

I think it was the fact that it was not as good as the original and clearly a money spin that ticked him off

 

[eyedonutkair]

*raaaaaaage quit!* Other M was soo epix! To each his own, great list Yahtz!
Here's to another year of tearing the souls out of games!

 

[KiKiweaky]

Haha nice vid, some of your quotes are mmmm.

The baileys at the end caught me by surprise I must admit hahaha was hilarious XD

 

[Kortney]

I have very different tastes to Yahtzee it seems.

But anyway, I think 2010 was a weak year. Mass Effect 2 was the only game that I really fell in love with (although I am still to play Call of Pripyat which I assume I will love). Red Dead Redemption was great, but not quite fantastic. As was Brotherhood...

And that's about it. The others I was either disappointed by or weren't my style of game.

I can't see how Just Cause 2 could be the game of the year, but each to their own.

 

[noirscythe]

Dear Yahtzee,

I registered this account to make this single post and let you know how much I liked your video. In a world of shit reviewers, dumbasses sucking up to big titles, and weeaboos deluding themselves into thinking games like Final Fantasy 13 and Metroid Other M have ANY redeeming qualities, you are the single beam of light where everything else is an ominous and encroaching dark cloud over my hopes for the gaming community. You have a very big fan in me.

Sincerely,
me

 

[VampiresDontSparkle]

Hilarious, but... what about Brotherhood? It should have been 5th best game at least! Ah well, can't have everything, I suppose.

 

[MB202]

Well... At least Epic Mickey wasn't on the Bottom 5 list... Although maybe it's a really close number 6.
