Hendo Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 The Year in Review - 2008 Sadly, not what I was expecting at all. I was hoping for a proper look back over the year, but what I got was a cynically put together self-indulgent masturbation session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I saw it too. I thought it was crap and not a proper, err, thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 twaty 2008 awards, i've really gone off Yahtzee recently, and i think this awards thing will probably put everyone else off as well. 2008 awards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I thought it was alright but he really is just hating for the sake of hating (and making his show) nowadays. That said if he's only played the games he reviewed for the show then he can onliy pick from them I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 i think he is being overally harsh on some games though, games like Dead Space that have met with near universal acclaim he just pisses all over, also Saints Row 2 GotY, i know its opinion and everyone is entitled to one, but come on, for fucks sake.

Hendo Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 If someone is going to try and find major faults with the quality of Dead Space then they're either trying too hard or perhaps could do with a new hobby, as it's a damn fine game and if you're that picky with it then you'll rarely be happy with anything. With Yahtzee I'd suspect it's the former, and yeah, it's wearing a bit thin now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivaOni Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I've not really been fussed by him for a long while now, every single "review" is more of the same, as was his input on that Game Damage pilot, negativity for the sake of negativity. If you really don't enjoy games anymore, stop playing them you fucking retard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinn888 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 i just find it funny that he goes OTT with just little bits, well that and his random comparisons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I never did take his reveiws as gospal, only idle satiricle fun but as I think I mentioned at GTM. The videos were funny to start with, I was pissing myself watching the Halo 3 and Tomb Raider Anniversary reviews because the witty nitpicking and even though I like both games it was still good. Now it's not witty anymore, he's just complaining and his views on Mirrors Edge and Dead Space are just bitter. I think he should realise that EA have been pretty decent lately or I've suddenly become partial to polished turd.. which I don't think I have.

DANGERMAN Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Yeah exactly, it's not a case of his reviews going downhill as they were never serious anyway, more that it feels worn, almost like a self parody the way he tries to force the hate. That said i'll still watch next week and the week after and so on because every now and then his comparisons are funny. Maybe he just needs a couple of months off from doing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 another week,another medioca ranty review of something that pretty much everyone else likes, but surprisingly yatzee doesn't F.E.A.R 2 also some previous weeks if anyone cares Skate 2 Thief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 I watched the Gears of War 2 one last night. He finally conceded something at the end which every knee-jerk Gears hater should swallow - sometimes things are popular because they're good. *EDIT* These embeds aren't working, are they?

Just watched GoW2 one, and i never thought about how convenient it is having chest high walls everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandsomeDead Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I just saw another Zero Punctuation because as my last post points out, I think it's okay to catch up with everynow and then. This E3 one is shite though, like proper bad. I actually think he's sick of doing them now and is in the process of self destruction.

Jimboxy Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 i think recently they have been pretty good. The Duke Nukem review a few weeks back was pretty funny, and very true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
