I'm glad to see Yahtzee is still doing actual critical reviews. There's a shortage of that these days.

[–] harmonea@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's pretty much all he does unless he finds an Obra Dinn-tier darling.

Except for Gollum, he was weirdly defensive of that for a game that pulled every AAA anti-consumer trick in the book without at least the decency to be bland.

Yeah, I don’t know who’s thinking Yhatzee is only doing positive reviews. I watch him regularly but I always keep in mind that it could be a 10/10 game that everyone loves and his show is predominantly about shitting on games so he’ll tear it to shreds for entertainment.

Oh man haven't watched zp in years. I'll check it out

[–] PeachMan@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow he still uses the same intro song and everything

[–] theangriestbird@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

showcasing why i stopped watching ZP years ago. not that yahtzee had to always come up with a new theme song, but like nothing about the format has changed since he joined The Escapist a decade ago.

He got more punctuation than before though.

[–] PeachMan@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

Fair, I got about halfway through before I got bored.

[–] julesx@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

Neither have I. Last of his I watched was for Eve. "Bored, bored, bored, eye strain" was all I remember, and that's right on the money (for Eve Online). Might have to start watching his videos again, didn't know he's on YouTube now.

Can someone tell me how spoilery his review is? I haven't started the game yet.

I’d avoid it. He talks about a major plot point with the artifacts

[–] AndrasKrigare@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago

The general gist is he thought it was boring, and the scope was so broad they forgot to make it fun

[–] Dettweiler42@lemmyonline.com 7 points 1 year ago

He covers up to the first few main story quests and an almost mandatory side quest.
