I typically agree with many of Yahtzee's reviews, but there were a lot of things in this one that weren't even true. I never noticed that bug eye thing he mentioned, and even though the concept has been done before, I still found the story very compelling. From what I've seen, if he even remotely suggests that a game is good, then its definitely a game worth buying. Its an amazing game that perfect a lot of game-play mechanics that many other games I.E. Dragon Age and Borderlands fall flat on. This game is a shoe-in for GOTY.
WHY WHY GOD DID YOU REVIEW THAT? You knew it was going to be the epitome of meh. You should've gone with something more 'borderlands-esque'
Calling it right now, Dragon Age is the first game to do a moral choice system "right" in Yahtzee's eyes.
It's the first game that gives you a choice to be morally grey. You don't have to be Hitler or Jesus. You can act like a real person and make your own choices.

BS. He even states multiple times that he hates things before he even plays them, and of course with everyone calling the next coming being brought about by U2, Yahtzee is going to trash it. He also had to seem neutral about it at best to maintain consistency with his first review. His job is more complex than yelling stuff into a mic, he needs to be consistent or he'll lose his audience.Mr.Lucifer said:
I also have the feeling he enjoys games more than he lets on, just it wouldn't be funny if he said "Ya it's ok" to everything instead of ripping it to shreds.
Also no offense if you agree with Yahtzee almost all the time I'd hate to be you, must be hard to be entertained! XD
oh man, yes totallyHUBILUB said:We should really move to zombieland. Freedom for all!duchaked said:well technically I was talking about emotions on the other side of things (oops) but no it's all goodHUBILUB said:I can sense those emotions too, and it's mostly because people are saying that they're passing up on a game based on a review from YAHTZEE! I know that Yahtzee is entitled to his opinions, but the only thing he did in the review was to pick on the bad things (I'm not complaining at him at all, it's his job and it's fun) but that makes everyone who hasn't played the game think it's flawed and starts to criticize it.duchaked said:
I don't hate Yahtzee, I love the man (almost in a gay way) but I hate some of his stupid fans that don't take the things he says with a grain of salt. It's like when he bashed Halo 3, now everyone loves to bash that game. I'm not saying this as a sony fanboy, but as an Uncharted 2 fanboy, because I loved that game.
Fanboy-spasm over. Sorry if I caused you any emotional distress
there are those who love him and will follow his word to the bone
and those who hate him and will come on here to bash his reviews (mainly the ones where he bashes their favorite love life game)
lolll I'm primarily a 360 gamer (I use 'primarily' and 'gamer' almost hesitantly, I prefer to see myself as a determined student hehe, much better connotations outside of gaming forums in say, oh, the real social world), and I don't hate him for bashing say...Halo
he liked Gears and that was just funny (lol...w/e)
yeah I'm kinda tired, so I'm kinda rambling...sorry
hahaha oh no it's fine, I'm not one to judge where people put their time and devotion
cuz in the end we're all wasting our lives playing some form of video games-WAIT I MEAN we are all entitled to the pursuit of happiness
unless you live in like, Cuba
or Utah
less is more
wait...why the heck does it say I have 24 messages...that's a glitch

Go play Jade Empire. It's basically the same choice system, only Dragon Age improved on it.
As for Uncharted 2. I really enjoyed it. In fact I enjoyed it enough to go out and buy the first one.
Yahtzee made a lot of good points, like the sticking to cover and the eye bugging things. The flailing arms things was enjoyable. And while Drake looks like a total douche, he's comical in his own way, like the ending video (not gonna spoil it). It makes him a solid character, impossible, but solid.
I've disagreed with what Yahtzee has said in the past, but for the most part. He does a great job reviewing games, because he looks at the negative light more so than normal. Look at any review out there, there's games getting away with 7.5+, NEXT BEST THING, that shouldn't have even left alpha.
But that's just my 2 cents.
This might have been mentioned before, but the new girl is Australian, as played by Claudia Black. Dumbass. Maybe living in the country has made you tone deaf to the accent.
As for the rest of it, can't really fault the faults, but it's still worth playing.

It's pre-teen 360 fanboys like these that constantly need to justify their purchase that make me feel much better in owning a PC and PS3.llagrok said:
He thinks Dragon Age: Origins matters? Shocker, given how his Mass Effect review went. Guess the planets realigned and cosmic rays are shining upon his house again. I woulda thought he'd a put MW2 for the "box character" example, he being the twitchy gamer he says he is.
Then again, it's most likely just a recent game he picked to use for the hell of it. Yay for self-contradicting statements!

Ha, it's yahtzee's job to rip it apart. No matter how silly a mistake is. He'll find it.sln333 said:
