Zero Punctuation reviews Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

He's not funny in the slighest bit. I didn't even crack a smile.TheRapture

You´re no fun!:)

I havent watched a Yahtzee video in ages. I assume he spends the review bashing the game? Maybe? Not to jump to the conclusions, I understand it's all for humor, but I dont find him funny anymore and the whole "look at me I can bash a great game" thing is completely tired. Unless you're the Nerd. And they are old games. lol.carljohnson3456

Most of his reviews are good. I just avoid his wii game reviews because he never really reviews the game and just spends 5 minutes screaming "Wii sucks!" into a mic.

He tried too hard to knock the game and wasn't really funny to just hear him grasp on this one.

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]The last part (the "in b4...." part). But if I was a little too quick to judge, then please forgive my harshness. .

That was a shot at people who write Yahtzee off as a "joke reviewer" and claim that somehow, places like IGN, Gamespot or other review sites are somehow "more credible." It is usually the people who take reviews seriously and have had him knock one of their favourite games.

Looking for fanboy patterns in Yahtzee is a joke; he's praised and criticised all systems extensively.

I agree with the review.......the game is overrated.It look good but nothing else.The game is just copy from other good games....Gears of War,Prince of Persia,Tomb Raider and Metal Gear.The gameplay is boring and repeated.No replay value.I have finish the game but after that it get boring.U2 it is a game that you would never go back to play again.

No.

You HAVE NOT played it.

Im still waiting on your PSN ID or pics.

You don't even know what the characters section in the manual says or where the characters section is when some other guy asked for it as proof.

Eh... This one wasn't that great. I used to get a few more laughs out of his episodes, but this review was too similar to Uncharted 1. Which, I guess, is probably because they're not all that different. Just improved.

I have to admit...I haven't played Uncharted 2 in 2-3 weeks. After the half of a second play thought the main story, I'm probably not going back to it...and all (ALL) my PSN friends seemed to have moved on to other games...namly...MAG Beta, MW2 ect...ect..Shattered007

This is what I was referring to, he shows disdain for certain genres while praises others, hell didn't he state that himself before?

In this review he picked the lack of originality and went circles around it disregarding how good everything else in the game is and even gave a nod to a game that he probably hadn't even played when he made the review as being better (DA) Yes he is a reliable source.

What's funny is that out of all of his reviews, this is definitely one of the more positive ones.

upon reflection does anyone else thinks that he really tried to hate this game?

Though he does hate the Wii far more than the other three systems. He also hates shooters, fighters, JRPGs and QTEs.

Oh boy does he hate QTEs.

He also mentioned Gamespot in his review!

We're famous you guys!

He's also fairly biased when it comes to Valve and seems to go easy on them. He's admitted he is a valve fanboy.

I have to admit...I haven't played Uncharted 2 in 2-3 weeks. After the half of a second play thought the main story, I'm probably not going back to it...and all (ALL) my PSN friends seemed to have moved on to other games...namly...MAG Beta, MW2 ect...ect..Shattered007

I personally beat the game 3 times in a row and got a plat. I also spent time online. Im taking a break because I just over did it. Im focusing on dragon age now. Uncharted 2 is easly one of the best this gen. On topic I never take this guys opinion seriously. Hes a joke reviewer to me nothing more nothing less. I go in for a chuckle not in depth thought.

[QUOTE="Ontain"][QUOTE="Jandurin"]nice nod to Dragon Age.AdobeArtist

Remember his review of Mass Effect? I'm sure he's going to equally looooooooooooove the character conversations of DAO :lol::lol:

@ Trey: Yahtzee is Aussie, just FYI :)

Actually he's a Brit but lives in Aus.

Ahaha.

I love how you contradict yourself.

MW2's campaign is neither as long as Uncharted 2's nor is as up to par as Uncharted 2's.

Yet you say U2 is quick morning break and nothing more? And give MW2 on your 360 all the love?

You know why?

Because you don't have Uncharted 2, you have never played it and nor do you have a PS3. Im still waiting on that PSN ID and pics.

If Uncharted 2 was a 360 exclusive or if it was on the 360 somehow, you would be all over it.

Lem king am confirmed.

I've never really liked Yahtzee, that dude hates every single game, sure they're funny but that's not really why I read reviewsMr_Alexander

While these reviews are almost always intentionally snarky to appear cool, from time to time I get the feeling they didn't even play the game they are reviewing. This is one of those times.

No, just no. MW2 does not look better thank UC2, I finished both just yesterday. Slam UC2 for being unoriginal if you like but nothing looks better on consoles and certainly not MW2. It may be polished like UC2, with lots of graphical flair - but the engine sucks, you can't polish a turd.Kan0nF0dder

Pretty disappointing, IMO. He's done much, much better.

[QUOTE="n00bkid"]Who is actually going to listen to this guy? his favourite game is Saints Row 2...come on now. U2>>>Saints Row 2, nuff said.foxhound_fox

it made me lol at one point so good job, you can't ask for more than that

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]

[QUOTE="n00bkid"]Who is actually going to listen to this guy? his favourite game is Saints Row 2...come on now. U2>>>Saints Row 2, nuff said.nervmeister

Besides, isn't Yahtzee's favorite game (ironically) Silent Hill 2?nervmeister

I havent watched a Yahtzee video in ages. I assume he spends the review bashing the game? Maybe? Not to jump to the conclusions, I understand it's all for humor, but I dont find him funny anymore and the whole "look at me I can bash a great game" thing is completely tired. Unless you're the Nerd. And they are old games. lol.carljohnson3456

Yahtzee really has his off and on weeks. I think Zero Punctuation altogether hit it's stride when it reviewed Super Smash Bros. Brawl and then the mail show that followed. Since then, it hasn't been as funny.
