Yahtzee is fucking annoying and everyone makes a god out of him for some reason.
Then there's that disgusting Jim Sterling guy. Bleh.
I find them amusing but I don't take their reviews seriously.Quote:

I was expecting it to have aged as terribly as Goldeneye. :wacko:
Pretty sure they never were meant to be. :shrug:Quote:

The Extra Credits guys, on the other hand, are supposed to be taken seriously. Like RealSpiders said, it's usually a "how long until I start to rage" with every new episode. :wacko:

BUT BUT U CANT AIM DOWN DA SIGTS AND IT HAZ NO KILLZTREAKZ
:wacko:
It annoys me when I hear that 'Halo was the first console FPS that was actually playable with a controller'.
Yeah, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were absolute trainwrecks and nobody was able to play it properly, we were just lucky with it. :low:
How to write a review by yahtzee:Quote:

If yes:
"WHY IS THIS SO UNORIGINAL? It's just like game X" Be sure to bring up game x as much as possible. If you can't come up with a game x, spend a lot of time making them sound the same. If you can, be sure to bring it and any copycats up repeatedly. And if the gameplay doesn't change things up, bring up repetitiveness.
If no:
"I DON'T LIKE THIS. IT'S TOO DIFFERENT. WHY IS IT SO WEIRD AND UNUSUAL?" Be sure to bring up how attempting to do multiple things often just makes each individual thing inferior to games that focus on one thing.
2.) Does the game have an online mode?
if yes
a.) And they use the online to pad the experience so you don't notice that the single player is a mere x hours long with no replay value.
if no
b.) Why in this day and age are we limited to a single player campaign with no replay value?
3.) Is the game hard? Does it have a difficulty select?
a.) it has difficulty select
Play on easy. Repeat "THIS GAME IS TOO EASY."
b.) it is difficult even with the difficulty select
"This game is cheap and consists of a lot of cheap shots.
C.) game is difficult and has no difficulty select
"This game is bullshit hard and only OCD fuckwits would play it."
4.) Does the game have regenerating health/some other common successor to an antiquated gameplay mechanic?
If yes:
a.) Bitch about it repeatedly.
If no:
b.) WHY IS THIS GAME SO OLD STYLE. IT'S STUCK IN THE 90'S. AND IT'S SHIT.
5.) Are we at 5 minutes yet?
if yes:
a.) roll credits
if no:
b.) go back over script and put in as many dick/ass/feces jokes as you can.
I find the Quake 1 control scheme perfect, using the analogue stick to move around and left C and right C to strafe. Since it auto aims you don't need to look up or down. I think this is the perfect control scheme, this is also the default scheme for Goldeneye as well I think?Quote:
