I wanna marry this guy. (In the most heterosexual way possible of course) I have no doubt we share the same brain.
I'm with a Fahey, a quality return to form.
Good review. I enjoy Army of Two more than Gears of War, though.
@Kanik: Start making videos then, I need more of this sort of material.
Unless.....you're not funny. You damn bastard, you better not lie to me!
Yahtzee wins the week once again!
Yahtzee just needed a bad game to rip on, like everything in the videogame industry post-Thanksgiving is ****
Hilarious, as always.
Hey fahey, maybe it's lupus!
I love yahtzeeday, never disapointed.
Hahahaha I just started it and the intro song made my laugh immediately. Spot on Yahtzee.
Pure awesome. That's all I can say, really.
For whatever reason, it amuses me to see him refer to "You foreign bastards" and realize he's speaking to me...
@Norellicus: Welcome to the internet. Youll get used to it.
I've been saying this ever since I played the game, only less humourous, and with long punctuation. He hits the nail on the head as usual, pure gold.
I never thought he was losing his touch, but I think his Turok review was funnier (partially because I dislike the current state of 'nades in FPSs). However, I'm still happy.
@scotty: Nah - I lack initiative, the ability to speak quickly and I would hate to have to lie to you. (Or rather, be caught in a lie.)
Yeah I played AOT a lot more than GOW personally.
While shooting the armored folks in the bum works, you can kill them just by shooting the shit out of em from the front. Just be sure you have LOTS OF AMMO. The shotgun works best since you can knock the tart on his ass then pump him full of lead while he tries to get up only to be knocked down again.
Excellent as always Yhatzee but this review of his made it seem like he actually enjoyed the game since its not as mean spirited as he usually is. ;D
@bonecows: Wednesday is no more. There is only Yahtzeeday!
Great review. Has me listening to his old ones now as well.
This is definitely one of his best. Not as good as his super mario galaxy review but still good.
OUCH.
Sadly about what I expected. Since even Gears didn't wow me (well, sweet graphics!) I think I'll skip (the demo of) this one.
@fuchikoma: Btw I wouldnt take what Yahtzee says as any real information on a game, since I mean hell all of us can take a piss on pretty much any game and make it sound like shite.
Its just his job to do so in a humorous manner. ;D
now if only Yahtzee was a sexy GIRL GAMER with the same accent , i would ask her to have my babies.
As it stands, his reviews are probally the most comical on the internet for the moment. Someone needs to move his ass to north america so he isnt reviewing games on the Australian release schedule (2-6 months delay WTF)
i definately do feel sorry for the UK/AUS "localization" process .. which translates the game from .. english to well ENGLISH. PAL/NTSC switching aside (how hard is that anyways really..)
I have my AK upgraded all the way, including that giant drum of a magazine. when I have to use more than 1 mag to kill a few guys, I get angry. Even if they had a steady diet of pcp, 200+ rounds from an AK should take you out!!!! ARG THIS GAME.
Why cant CoD4 have co-op so the wife and I can play together. I hope HAZE is a better co-op experience but some how I'll doubt it.
"Boosties"...if I had been drinking milk, it would have shot out my nose.
Ok, I was...and now I need to clean my keyboard.
Yahtzee = <3
Queen = <3
Yahtzee + Queen = <<33?
I hope Yahtzee doesn't start opening/closing more of his videos with Queen or I might have to resort to even more deformed <3's
@Witzbold:
I know, but he and I pretty much agree on shooters at this point, and it's about the same thing I'd seen in other reviews. This game (and The Club) caught my attention, but the reviews always seem to echo my darkest suspicions about these games.
@fuchikoma: The Club is fun if you just need a mind kill game / like trying to top best scores and whatnot.
But shit some of the stages are hard. :x
AOT is just something fun to run through with friends and shoot / blow shit up. ;D
@Duphman2: I didn't say it was unusual, just that coming from him specifically, it amuses me. I have a decent complement of acquaintances from Norway and other places, it's definitely not unusual to hear myself spoken to in the 3rd party/foreign sense.
"Bull-ETS."
Great review, it was the first to make me L.O.L in a while.
So, who's going to be the first one to accept his challenge about playing Gears and Splinter Cell at the same time?
Ahhh good old Army of Two. It's already been beaten to death by ZP so i'll keep this brief. On normal difficulty this game is insanely easy, which in reality it should be as you're covered head to toe in body armor. On realistic or hard or whatever they call it, the game is stupidly hard(er). When a few shots can knock you out of the fight it's just stupid. Meanwhile mr. no armored baddie takes 10 rounds to the chest and keeps on fight'n. Same can be said about the lame "bosses" who possess virtually the same armor as you do yet can only be killed from behind. Thank the gods for free games :)
@QC8472: Done it. Both on hardest difficulty. I've got the footage but my laptop exploded during the video capture due to an overload of awesomeness.
Army of Two is balls plain and simple. Don't buy it.
@HaydenTenno:
Really?
@UncleScrotar: Being covered head to tow in body armor may help if someone is spraying the area with a uzi or 9mm but once they move up to rifles of any kind you are dead unless you are wearing super heavy armor in which case you are in for bruises and broken bones from the first shot and death from all subsequent shots.
These aren't reviews: they're comedy routines about games.
@ExplodingKayNine: no they are reviews, and he makes valid points about each game.
Every time Yahtzee drops one of these bad boys I'm watching it, more then once. Can't wait for his next review.
I can review Army of Two in 7 words:
It's made by EA. Don't buy it.
"On reflection perhaps it's forthe best that someone named 'Tyson' shows absolutely no interest in women."
That alone made me burst out laughing. I've said this before and I'll say it again, but these reviews are the best part of my Thursday. The best thing about them is I'm so absent minded, and usually busy at work, that I completely forget about them.
LOL Rolf Harris!
I want to see him do one on gta IV! Just to upset all the gta fans!....(I'm getting Gta...I just like seeing people get pissed off from his reviews)
Slow tandem parachuting, dressing up your characters, hugging your friend after every massacre; what exactly is gay about that? I hope the sequel has more sniping and a shower co-op sequence to wash those "unreachable" areas...wtf did I just say? Oh God, I think it gave me the gay.
The part where he runs off to get a ladder had me laughing so much I had to rewind the part I missed.
Yahtzee also has the uncanny ability to choose the perfect two songs to go with each of his videos. The last bit says "Next week: More stuff you foreign bastards have probably been playing for months."
Any predictions?
Is this game really all that bad? I need a new shooter to play with my gf. We've completed GoW, Rainbow Six Vegas and assorted Wii light gun games. I was really looking forward to getting this..anyone have any other suggestions?
Well I agree with his review except for one point. I still have fun playing Army of Two. It's no where near as good as COD4, but I think Army of Two is LOADS better then Rainbow 6 : Vegas 2.
@bonecows: Dude, it's NEVER lupus.
@Duphman2: I completely agree.
Anyways @ the video. Good chuckle as always.
I can imagine that hop up glitch was annoying as crap.
HAHAHAHA that was another great review. Iam still waiting for his No More Heros review.
Is NMH even out yet in the UK or AUS?
He hit it out of the park!
Awesome, do we expect anything else.
The game is mediocre at best.
Yep, beautiful work. Too bad I've gone through his backlog. Now I have to wait each week like everyone else. Someone send him more games so we gets more reviews!
EPIC PWNAGE!!! Based on this review and what I read at Penny Arcade I will never play this game. EVER.
at 3:05, there is a smiley face.
i have seen it on the internet for 5 years, but I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE ITS FROM.
so please, please, can someone tell me wtf it is?
Army of Two is p
