I thought back to the review after seeing it, and realized that Yahtzee probably intentionally skipped the more celebrated things about the game (since he apparently doesn't give a "flying ****" about multiplayer). I found that pretty funny.

It's a humor video. Chill out. The reviews aren't really meant to be taken seriously.

I know, his sense of humor just isn't up my alley.

Nowadays, anyone who can talk fast and/or curse is an automatic comedian. Hoo-rah :roll:

He tell what thehaters want to here. When he previewed the Heavenly sword demo he went on what lemmings say of how much it was a pointlessbutton masher. With Bioshock he went what hermits say about Bioshock is a downgraded system shock 2 for the "console-tards" and now again, siding with hermits saying Halo is only a okay game that is doing nothing new. But I really find it funny how Lemmings pick on the Killzone demo for having bad A.I. "You do know A.I. Is very important in a shooting game right? Sony fails again!" And then Halo 3 shows up with A.I. You can't even count on them to drive. :lol:

Actually, he states that he is a serious reviewer, and adds the humour in for comdeic effect. check his website. Note that he said that most people don't care about multiplayer. this is true. when you take away multiplayer, the game really isn't all that amazing.

I think Zero Punctuation is generally great, but my opinion of him did go down a bit after I saw his review of The Darkness demo. That was some pretty embarrassing stuff. I thought he might've been kidding at first about the difficulties he had in doing the insanely simplistic and obvious stuff they want you to do at the start of the game, but he wasn't.

It's no surprise that The Escapist doesn't have that review listed on its site, you have to find it on his website. Then again, that was I think his first or one of his first reviews, but still. If you're gonna review games, at least convey that you're somewhat good at them.

He made 2 points that I agree with: the grunts just sound retarded, and the last level was very easy, and we already had a game end with a driving sequence, and since bungie sucks at bosses, they should have had you square off against a ton of enemies, like a pack of 6 hunters and a squadron of brutes in a huge area with vehicles and turrets. They could even have included a bit of crazy driving, on the way to this huge fight, but instead of paying homage to their first game, they just lazily copied it.

The enemy A.I in Halo 3 really is spectacular, but its true that the ally A.I is very lacking, my guess is with four play coop being the way most people play the game, Bungie chose to put alot less resources in ally A.I.

I love Halo 3 and all but most of the stuff he says is right. I can't stand the A.I. in that game. Both the enemies and the allies you play with and against are completely devoid of intelligence. I play with as many skulls as i can turn on but they're still not that great. That aside I can't get over how fun the multiplayer is. :D

I dunno. On the one hand, the video is great. Very funny.

On the other, it's a pretty sweet game. No matter how clever a way he can point out the faults, there just aren't that many. It's fun, and that's it. I really don't care if this has been done before, or if that looked better, all I care about is getting some utility out of my 60 bucks...and halo 3 did that pretty darn well.

He's also neglecting 2 big things. First, the multiplayer. I mean, really, you can't just write off halo multiplayer by saying you don't care about it. Ok great, I don't care about you, comment not helpful. Second, he didn't give a crap about the story. In a trilogy, much of the 3rd installment's worth is in the story. Whether or not it's a better game than the first or the second, there's some value in the end of a well-told story.
