How the fuck does Escapist still exist? Hell, how has Yahtzee not left Escapist yet?
are you shilling or something? there was nothing ground breaking in that rant, just more tired complaining that all games have loot boxes and no soul
woah he’s really lost it and speaking to truth!
also
a hat in time as an example of a good game
lol

freedom planet is an example of "shitty fangame"
well yeah it's a shitty fangame because it's not like sonic at all. as a standalone it's pretty good, however.
its a shitty fangame because it's not like sonic at all
I never thought I would read this, not even on Sup Forums.
People were idiots to put Valve in such high esteem. They were always a company trying to make money, all companies start with innovation but once they start getting more investors and more money they start playing it safe and turn into another group of corporate bastards.
The lesson is never love anything. Valve sucks, just move on with your lives or find a new hobby.
Valve isn't publicly traded so they don't have investors to pander to. But yeah they don't really have to try to do much when they're raking in like 30% of every PC game sold these days.
2D sonic is legitmately good gameplay, and something to be like 2D sonic and failing is bad.
it started as a fangame but then decided to fuck the roots and do something fresh, thus abandoning it's fangameishness and through that becoming bad as a fangame.
if you want to bash freedom planet for being extremely girly and cringe inducing go right ahead but that gameplay and music was fucking GOAT
nigga that's the point of my joke do i really need to spell it out for you
Imagine being the sole driving force of a website and the website knows it, and all you have to do is play video games and make a PowerPoint 'animation' about them. Yahtzee probably gets a pretty substantial check from the Escapist and probably makes more there than he would if he had to crowdfund.
unironically wanting to play an anthro furry game where the designs are more autistic than the majority of Sonic's expanded cast
It's disgusting to be honest.
I suppose if you're a furfag and these designs are relatively tame by your standards, then yes.
nigga have you even played it? its really good. play classic mode if you can't handle the cringe
It's the best game treasure never made and there's a more to skip the autistic furfag storyline
the story is pretty shit but I've seen far worse. but yes the game itself is alright.
Then they should reskin it with some designs that remembered to take their Ritalin. I fucking hate how overdesigned furries make their characters. They tack on so much shit to make the characters look "cool" but they end up being a visual clusterfuck. Like, what even are these?
they can and have in the past you delusional mongoloid. the problem is they are so few and far between they might as well not even exist. you can probably count games with a good engaging story on one hand
You didn’t like the Half Life Games? People frequently use them as examples of games that managed to have both woven together pretty well.
What about OG Portal?
A good story which never has its quality compromised by the choice of medium.
Yahtzee is a lazy depressive. If he went independent and started riding on the patreon train he'd have to go back to doing all his writing and editing himself. He makes less from the escapist but he knows his independent stint would be short lived.
well, i know videogame stories that will be compromised if you make a movie out of them, since the narrative tools vidya can and does use are different from pretty much everything else except choose-your-own-adventure books.
Valve was never good, they created one mediocre FPS game in the 90s and then have had a monopoly on PC gaming ever since
thats... actually a pretty good definition of it, especially concerning video games
this would be a decent point if the characters in game weren't sprites that look like something on the saturn where all those details are shit you'll barely notice over the gameplay
furry is not an argument. you can argue about things being overdesigned however, and I wouldn't call this overdesigned. its literally purple sonic
Escapist has literally fired almost everybody else on the website in order to keep inflating Croshaw's paycheck. It's why James Portnow had to go freelance.
It's awful-looking, Hat in Time is beyond dumb, Yooka-Laylee is trash, Isaac is trash for edgelords, and Shovel Knight wears flannel and drinks bad craft beer.
Only encouraged by Microsoft's creative incompetence, Sony's AAA fad-following, and Nintendo's sheer Jewery.
Yooka-Laylee is trash
this is the only thing you got right. 1/10 see me after classes
Shovel Knight wears flannel and drinks bad craft beer.
ur good at criticism
YOU HATE ONE ELEMENT THEREFORE YOU HATE THE WHOLE THING
And you're part of why all that shit up there is encouraged. Children don't have taste - they just play what's popular, good or not (see: FNAF).
I've only read his first one so far and I actually really liked it. I wouldn't say it's the best book ever or anything, but it's certainly a lot better than most of the other "first novels" I've read.
I believe that given that he’s a funny guy, but I kind of have a hard time taking him seriously whenever he is actually trying.
I wonder how he hasn’t gone nuts from all this pressure though. He genuinely seems like a weird gross neck beard who happened to land into the spotlight and has to play pretend.
The fact valve, of all people, have a monopoly on PC gaming should speak volumes about
the absolute state
of PC gaming. All companies worth a shit make games for consoles. Always have, always will.
No, you 'tards. The story was never the point in any of the Half-Lifes. It's clearly just a paper-thin thrown-together excuse for having a shooter game. Half-Life 2 has good WRITING, perhaps even EXCELLENT writing, some of the best in vidya, and they've made an extremely memorable, likable and relatable characters. But the actual STORY of the franchise is a shallow heap of disjointed plotpoints strung together with no real purpose besides "we want the player to do X now".
Why? Do you actually think Valve knows who the hell the Gman is, or they have an actual ending for this franchise in a drawer somewhere? They've been flying by the seat of their pants for the entire decade they've been actually developing these games.
The original Mass Effect had had a perfectly adequate scifi world/story and was even slightly above average as far as modern scifi goes.
It's not okay when Sonic does it either, I said it's more autistic than most of Sonic's expanded cast. Keyword being "most."
half life
they were blatantly making up a story as they went along. nothing ever meant anything in the end, it was all under the false impression they were building up to a conclusion they would never reach, hence why HL2 was a shitty cliffhanger and HL3 will never exist.
Portal
shitty example. it was never about developing a story it was about platforming with some robot lady talking to you the entire time. have you ever read a book in your entire life?
shits on modern games
yay
I want muh story
boo
I can see why this fag put Biocuck Infinite and Undertale as his game of the year.
they created one mediocre FPS game in the 90s and then have had a monopoly on PC gaming ever since
The monopoly only really started in the 2010's.
Although Valve had their eyes on that shit for YEARS beforehand. Steam started development barely six months after Half-Life's release.
People today (and five years ago) also forget what a fucking shitshow the release of Half-Life 2 & Steam were.
I only read comedies and sci-fi/fantasy shit like Foundation. I’d say that Portal does a good job creating a compelling story with the way you get hinted about the bigger picture before shit hits the fan, with you going from confined sterile lab zones to the vents and whatnot. The gameplay and story go hand in hand.
you're doing it wrong. comparing book story that just kinda is there for you to read, to game story through which you go through and PLAY through, is kinda idiotic of a task. while i don't deny that many narrative tools that are used in books can be used in games, games and their interactivity add in a new set of tools that only the best game stories utilise.
It's PC gaming's Mario. No one makes exclusive PC games so when they get one they really need to hold onto it with both hands. Saddest part is it's not even exclusive.
Oh, you’re distinguishing writing from the narrative. Fair enough. But good writing with a bad narrative is way better than bad writing with a good narrative, right?
I don’t know why having a good narrative really matters if you really are experiencing everything in the moment.
FP awful-looking
Nah, it's decent
Hat in Time beyond dumb
wat
Yooka-Laylee trash
Yes. It's mediocre at best.
Issac edgy trash
It's edgy certainly, but functionally it's not bad. Its RNG dependency is far too heavy, and could quite easily be rebalanced if the devs gave a shit.
Shovel Knight
Do you even enjoy video games
I don't entirely disagree with your company criticisms, but Jesus dude lower your standards
hunt down the freeman
bashes freedom planet out of nowhere
that was actually uncalled for.
But good writing with a bad narrative is way better than bad writing with a good narrative, right?
One might feel inclined to feel that way but I dunno, I think it's on a scale and one could outweigh the other. Personally, I'd rather experience a poorly written interesting narrative than a well written boring one.
the only objectively correct person in this entire thread. the rest of you sicken me. kill yourselves
Oh yes, don't get me wrong, I love Half-Life. They're amazing games and the atmosphere, characters and careful worldbuilding alone are some of the best vidya has to offer. They also have masterfully integrate the story with the gameplay. My problem is with the idiots who insist on saying Half-Life has a "good story" when that's blatantly false. It's by no means bad, but it's kept minimally functional - an excuse to get the player from point A to point B. A very convincing excuse, but an excuse nonetheless.
It was a good rant, but I'd hardly say he "broke down." A "break down" is more akin to what happened to Cosmo after he lost at the Nintendo thing.
who know's HL games where shit best thing to come out of HL was the source engine and Gmod
Shut the fuck up, get on a plane back to australia, suck Gabe's dick so he lets you back in, and start making more Let's Drown Out you fucking idiot
Yahtzee is what keeps The Escapist around. Go check their YouTube channel, it's basically the Zero Punctuation channel. If not for him, The Escapist would no longer exist.
He's not in Australia anymore? I haven't been following him much since I stopped playing so many new games. Let's Drown Out was comfy.
It is clear that people are using the world “story” to mean “tone, writing, characterization” rather than “narrative” a lot. That’s probably where the confusion lies. I doubt Yahtzee or anyone feels Hat in Time had a compelling narrative, so I think to take his critique of lack of story in the gaming world as criticizing developers for not being good at developing plotlines isn’t accurate.
Yeah, moved to California I think
He got a gf and streams with her now, but it's not nearly as comfy
It's edgy certainly, but functionally it's not bad. Its RNG dependency is far too heavy, and could quite easily be rebalanced if the devs gave a shit.
What are we talking about BOI here? You can win 99% of your runs.
he liked the game itself but criticized the story so there you go. you autists can stop getting so defensive now holy fuck
He moved to the US. Presumably for a girl. It certainly wasn’t for the political climate.
My friends and loved ones
utterly btfo
like anyone would want to be remembered as that lanky hipster clown that talk really fast
this feels like a stealth milestone, acknowledging that current-year games have truly fucked off into the deep end of shit
I hardly play anything of late, and when I do it's all backlog stuff
I think he means that RNG makes a huge difference in whether the game just plays and beats itself or is actually mechanically challenging. BoI is always relatively easy, but some runs just get everything that makes it so you don’t even have to look at the screen to win.
I dunno why people keep misrepresenting the story. The only thing actually wrong with it on paper is Mitchell killing Adam instead of interrogating him to learn about the G-Man and the deal.
Win yes, but Delirium is most horribly-made piece of trash I've ever come across and I never bother fighting him because I don't need to any more due to killing him already with all characters (besides with The Lost, who's already kind of annoying to play as anyway).
It's telling how they literally never make a daily challenge that ends with Delirium.
I liked when the Escapist cleaned house and fired every retarded SJW blogger they had on staff and turned the entire site into the Yahtzee Show.
That too. I'll admit that I agree with a decent bit of what Bob Chipman professes in his videos after my turn to the left, but I'm not so stupid as to enjoy the videos where he starts pulling shit like defending Jack Thompson, or sperging out over fucking Man of Steel 2.
No, he made his political stance perfectly clear after Brexit, and with his self-insert character in Mogworld's ridicule of nationalism.
What about Origin? UbiSoft Online? GoG? Hell, even Blizzard has its own online sales site.
believes Half-Life stopped arena shooters despite UT and Q3 releasing after it
Retard
The lesson is never love anything
the lesson is don't emotional invest into fucking companies you tards. Everytime I see someone talking about Newell like he's fucking Santa or Nintendo like it's fucking Geppetto's shop I weep for fucking humanity. And before some retarded fanboy starts crying that goes for Sony, Microsoft or any other fucker that wants to sell something to you as well, you fuckers.
scroll through the Escapist youtube channel
last video that wasn't Yahtzee was Jimquisition before Sterling left 3 years ago
Why does the Escapist even exist anymore?
Sorry. Batman vs Superman just seems a bit too long a title for me, so I decided to use a nickname that would get my point across. In retrospect, I should've said "sperging out over Pixels or Amazing Spiderman 2"
Yet they have gone together. Several times, and the only people who say otherwise are the dumbasses like you who think stories shouldn't be in video games at all.
Seriously, I'm tired of this meme. A couple cinematic games that suck come out and everyone starts acting like having a story in your game is a fucking death sentence. Fucking retards.
We're not all 50 year olds who grew up in the era of LBJ and Richard Nixon, dude. Pretty much everybody 30 or younger grew up in an era where 90% of our childhood was commercial entertainment meant to hock merchandise.
Does Silent Hill have a good narrative? Like, arching plotline? Or is it just really good with its atmosphere?
Dude, just play it and form your own opinion. Lord knows that's what I need to do.
We need to stop David Cage before he ruins everything
post games with good story and gameplay
I’m not interesting in horror games. I’m just curious. Most of the games I play are almost exclusively gameplay driven, but I was curious whether Silent Hill’s narrative (specifically) was A. Worthwhile and B. Not hurt by its choice of medium.
Cool. Maybe that guy is a dummy then.
Ireland last time I checked. Makes shitty mobile games, did a failed kickstarter fps with really uninspired backstory couple years back.
It uses video game mechanics to invisibly influence the story's direction. Sorta like dark souls uses them to unveil the story, but in silent hill you influence it. engagin in fights getting maria fucked up and looking at Marys picture all influence the final outcome without players knowing. you can play the way you like and you're rewarded with different pieces of a larger puzzle. Unique story telling that only video game can achieve.
He doesn’t like that Valve is letting this garbage be on Steam. He also doesn’t like that we no longer get games with good writing, tone and atmosphere and when we do, it is few and far between. He threw in a comment about triple AAA titles being boring experiences just to sell loot boxes, calling out specifically Destiny 2 and Assassin’s Creed Origins.
He joked that it was somehow John Romero’s fault.
Yes
Let the hate flow through you like entity's through the maps of V1.0 Daikatana
hunt down the freeman is so bad that it rivals big rigs
How is this shit still in the store? Not only being shit, but it also has stolen assets too.
stolen assets too.
Stolen assets from valve. Valve makes money off its sales.
Why would they pursue a cease and desist exactly?
To be fair, he was already not the biggest fan of 2D classic sonic so freedom planet was even more of a “couldn’t give a fuck” type of game to him.
Stolen assets from valve
No. Hunt down the freeman also has stolen assets from STALKER and other projects too.
Stolen assets from valve
reddit.com
I actually remember him praising the game a lot in his review. did he change his mind, or just forgot about it completely and assumed it was bad. Either way, comparing it to hunt down the freeman is poor form
necessarygames.com
A bit pretentious and the execution could be better, but I think that it's an excellent counterpoint to this claim.
Well as long as the copyright holders don't complain and pursue legal action there's nothing you can do about it.
He hates nazis
He knows the people voting in brexit and trump were driven solely by racism and fear rather then anything Economically practical or generally rational.
wow what a fucking weirdo, how dare he.
make a series of comedic novels
the ending is always a depressing gut punch
I will never understand why he chose to do this
Dude’s starting to crack. He threw shade at the Steam brats praising Kingdom come: deliverance as this perfect game with its unintuitive combat system, archaic splinter save system and all its other bugs and deemed them “PC gamer dick slurp all stars”. And now this tirade on triple A and especially valve.
Hopefully some better games come up this year for him to review to cheer him up.
Terrible video. 75% of the complaints were him just sucking and clearly not giving a shit.
ive been watching yahtzee since his third video. I grew up.
no its just a very uninteresting platformer. The one with the physics snake looks way better by comparison
Would it be shilling if I posted another HTDF trailer I made based on the MGSV ones?
Just the fact that the game is broken to the point of you having to use hacks to finish it is enough reason to take it down. That's why quality control exists.
Didn't AHIT do well though? It certainly had to do better than Hunt Down the Freeman.
It's zero punctuation, but there's punctuation in the title. hahaha, im so original.
once you know that people jerk off to humanized animals you cant put that cat back in the bag
It is. Which is why Yahtzee also mocked her for being such a loser that couldn’t beat
I wasn't joking though, every kind of online game store has to have some kind of quality control. I've never seen such broken games on PSN or XLive.
Friendly reminder that this game is not only still being sold on Steam, it has sold over 100 thousand copies as of this date.
what the fuck are you even trying to say, are you such a brainlet you take offence when someone disses your idol.
Get a load of this underage
The PC market was oversaturated with FPS games back then
Oh no NONO he insulted daddy? Our beautiful, powerful daddy who gives us cummies and MAGA?
Destroy him, boyz.
What happened to his boyfriend Gabe? Did he become a derelict after Yahtzee left him?
Yeah it sucks that Valve doesn't care about games anymore, but it really isn't anything new.
Valve hasn't given a shit about what they put out since what, Portal 2? After all, why make products when you have a service that practically monopolizes the PC game market.
It did well indeed but his point on good game being swamped by the sheer amount of garbage around it means that unless you’re putting yourself out there as a dev to spread the word or even get lucky and become viral. AHiT had to contend with the “SHAD MAN” shitposts and the comparisons to Yooka Laylee since they’re both Kickstarters that wanted to invoke the spirit of old school platformers (which sets off all the flags after what happened with Yooka Laylee and MN9) so it was nice to see it finally come out and see a lot of people in the community praising it.
What is reading comprehension?
user said Yahtzee mocked both Hillary and Trump with , which is true and not really something to get uppity about from either side of the debate
VIDEO GAMES
How dare people try to defend themselves from being raped from 3rd world shitskin refugees.
Who am I idoling? I hate both trump and Hillary. I’m not even American you dork
I’m not even American you dork
Then your opinion doesn't matter, fuck off to reddit, eurocuck.
"oh boy another video game review!"
its just a bunch of brexit and trump jokes
he didn't compare it to hunt down the freeman. however he did jab at it for seemingly no reason and I'm not sure if he was joking or serious
Do kingdom cucks really think that people only dislike this trash game for muh no blacks?
country has terrible anti rape laws and protection and has allowed countless women to be abused without any sympathy from the government or Police
Foreigners never made an outcry
Alt Right media pretends to care about women in a sea of narratives that seethes at the sight of a woman and calls them "nation wreckers"
I think it's pretty clear you only care about women when it benefits your racist narrative.
The one with the physics snake looks way better by comparison
You sound like you've played both games extensively and are highly knowledgeable.
I have to agree with him.
Video games have lost it's magic.
I thought it was just me growing up with nostalgia googles on, but even thinking about it objectively I come to the same conclusions.
Horseshit. If a woman cries "RAPE" her word will always win over a men's even if the man in question is innocent.
Women are very pampered in the west.
And it's only women getting raped it's also white men getting killed by shitskins too.
It’s better to turn away a few sand niggers than let your people get raped and murdered desu senpai
lootboxes bad
modern gaming bad
yes yes he "broke down" in the same way every single thread on Sup Forums apparently does
Of course he didn't outright say it, he's not that dumb.
But it's clear he bashed the game because of that since he's a leftie scum.
This is the same guy who sucked Witcher 3's and Skyrim's dicks.
They're not just poor, they're bankrupt. Which is why their site is now "community run" and the only one still getting paid (and hence producing content) is yahtzee.
He literally is the escapist nowadays. They fired their entire staff and kept Yahtzee, some webdev and a couple of rotating streamers. The boards are run by volunteers.
I think in a drown out he said he stopped when he gained some self awareness in his mid-late 20s. Can't be separated from the cartoon representation of him though.
But it's clear he bashed the game because of that since he's a leftie scum
Now this is some next level schizophrenia, senpai
Doesnt matter what he says! i know what he really means because i say so!
He praised the game for his historical accuracy, it's onw of the few things he liked.
He just said he liked it to avoid controversy
He knows how to play the game(by that I don't mean Kingdom Come)
Considering it has taken up until now for women being sexually assaulted in hollywood to be heard.
and how every woman saying they have been assaulted is met with thousands of men saying "THAT'S JUST A LIE"
you sure have some strong opinions on the issues facing women considering you've made your argument entirely around the race of the perpetrators.
And your next point, can you tell me how many people Immigrants killed?
You don't get basic conspiracy. Absence of evidence just means they're better at hiding it which means they're all the more dangerous.
and how every woman saying they have been assaulted is met with thousands of men saying "THAT'S JUST A LIE"
Now that's just a lie.
Evidence of what? You're just making shit up because your rotten /pol/ brain conditioned you to.
it has taken up until now for women being sexually assaulted in hollywood to be heard
And who do you think was assaulting them and keeping them from being heard? Can't be the alt-right since hollywood is large and by far dominated by liberals who constantly proclaim their hatred for Trump and right-wingers.
and how every woman saying they have been assaulted is met with thousands of men saying "THAT'S JUST A LIE"
And hundreds of thousands more saying "BELIEVE HER BECAUSE SHE HAS A VAGINA"
the only reason to dislike a shit game is because it has no niggers in it
This is what /pol/tards actually believe.
Absence of evidence just means they're better at hiding it
Oh man, we can make all sorts of retarded claims now and they are all true because "they" are hiding the evidence. You just won at life, my lad.
Why the fuck are you here and why did you find this thread if you don't come here anymore
Well, You're one of the biggest retards i have seen in Sup Forums.
Congratulations.
Then fuck off with your E-celeb shit, you deserve what this thread turned into.
He's good with his wordplay and worth a few minutes of entertainment every week.
Good thing i'm not dumb enough to take him seriously.
just saw the video and his wordplay has gotten severely worse than it was 5 years ago
He makes my Wednesday’s. It’s good fun that you take with a grain of salt considering Yahtzee’s onru nature and tastes.
He's got some weird ideas on the industry and it's place as an artform. I especially love when he whines about "FUTURE HISTORIANS being confused by reboots with the same name as the original" kike anybody actually fucking cares.
I was too poor for vidya growing up, but I always had a long list of games I wanted to play one day. Since coming into money, I've slowly been working my way through the list in chronological order; I'm currently playing Tales of Phantasia.
What year does it all go to shit, so I know when to stop and kill myself?
Considering it has taken up until now for women being sexually assaulted in hollywood to be heard.
You mean like the legions of women who started accusing Trump of harrassing them as soon as he became President?
Can you please do me a favor and get some common sense?
Thanks, moron.
1977, with the release of the Atari 2600. Ever since we've fought of waves of shovelware, greed, shit games and casualization.
I don't understand how that is a bad story.
Are you one of these brainlets that thing that good story=Epic bigs scale things happening?
it's mostly stuff stolen from movies and books but they did a good job at it as long as you are willing to put up with the controls
But user, don't you see? The nurses represent his sexual frustration! It's deep and clever and not completely lacking in subtly
Since I can already tell where this is going, can we all just get to the inevitable ending this board is going towards, call every game to ever exist or will exist shit forever, rename this place to /b2/ and get it over with already? I mean, I'm not going to act like some babby over peoples' tastes in vidya, but at the rate we're going, within the next 5 years there won't be even one game left to talk about due to contrarians being unable to stop shitposting any actual vidya thread to death because they think everything must be shat on just for the sake of (you)s and getting a laff out of misery, because people got too addicted to wanting everything to be the TORtanic. I wish that fucking shitshow of an MMO never happened and that the person who originally thought it up was hanged in front of George Lucas himself, so it never would have let this fucking place end up the way it is now.
Despite what you see on Sup Forums, good games come out all the time. They just aren't triple A games anymore, but indie shit. So don't tie that noose just yet my dude
a) if you think this was in any way a breakdown you don't socialise enough
b) if the animosity in this thread stems from something he said about trump you've only yourselves to be laughing at
I think the biggest issue I actually have with Yahtzee isn't his opinions, so much as it's I can't even tell what his opinions or taste really are. The only thing I know for sure is he hates most things RTS games, fighting games, JRPGS, most things japanese except Dark Souls or Silent Hill, anything with a cover wall higher than your ankle and loves truck driving simulators
/b2/
not /nupol/
Someone's been hitting the soyoyoylent a little too hard, m'thinks
He usually likes games that have a vision and direction to them instead of just being something shat out for the sake of money, that's the easiest way I can describe it
The only time I’ve ever questions Yahtzee sense of tastes was his review of Bioshock Infinite. He even contradicts how he likes a game despite having flaws like a batshit stupid story and messy gameplay but said he didn’t mind that when I remember him going off an many games over the years for being “pretentious”.
You are correct.
But just in case you are a genuine spicy meming newfag:
/s4s/
he hasn't played SotC/MGS2/dozens of other fucking games that use the medium to elevate themselves
Do you have a chalkboard that you mark on every time he makes even the slightest swipe at something you don’t like someone swiping at?
I just wonder what people expect to get out of doing this.
Do they just like to stir shit? Do they like to have a different opinion? For attention and to feel special? Do they think they can change peoples minds that specifically seek out to spend time with strangers to talk about the things they love? Why would they want to do this?
He replaced gabe with his dumb giggling ditz of a girlfriend. I am perturbed.
A which "My tiny equestrian are you" poll. I have no idea how the site manages to stay up or why Yahtzee works for them.
It's EVERYWHERE.
Perhaps that tells you everything you need to know about the subject.
Because at one point in history, everyone who knew how to use a computer had played Half-Life
everyone was making those jokes at that point.
That's the issue,the jokes were stale and unfunny
No one had any originals jokes
Complains that Samus Returns is too hard and doesn't have enough story
Praises Cuphead for it's challenge and says it doesn't need a story
I thought they were pretty funny. It seems they personally offended you. I recommend not latching on to politicians, it's a losing game.
Different types of games.
If you make Cuphead easier then it just becomes a ramdon indie game with nice animation.
A complex story wouldn't fit at all with Cuphead artstyle and gameplay.
It seems they personally offended you.
I wasn't offended,I was just annoyed because it's the same exact jokes over and over and over
If Cuphead had more of a story I do feel that it would be in the way. It's like trying to push more of a story onto Super Meat Boy, it just takes away from the experience when what I'm really playing it for is the challenge.
Yahtzee
The man who made a joke about how it was stupid to say you're not gay while sucking your trans girlfriend's cock
And then made fun of the retard who responded with indignation in the comments about that phrase.
The only person I know who is Less PC is Broteam and he made a 3 minute video insulting Mohammad after some Muslims threw a shit fit about him mentioning Mohammad in some video.
Cuphead is boss rush game that you would end in 1 hour if it was easy and since they were trying to make a 30s cartoon having a story would just go againts the entire point.
When standards are both so blatantly inconsistent, it's worth pointing out.
A complex story wouldn't fit at all with Cuphead artstyle and gameplay.
How? It has plenty of cutscenes and was clearly trying to have a story. Giving it a free pass while complaining about Metroid doing more or less the same thing is just retarded.
And Metroid is an exploration-based maze game and having story in the background makes sense for the same reasons, but Yahtzee is too stupid to understand this.
They're not just poor, they're bankrupt. Which is why their site is now "community run"
so that's why the site looks like shit.
jesus christ, i remember posting on the escapist forums in like 2009. what the fuck happened? it's like seeing some guy you knew from high school on a street corner begging for money. i actually feel sorry for these cunts.
I don't remember him ever saying about Metroid that was critical of this. He just really blasted Other M for being Other M, Federation Force for it knows why and Samus Returns for some silly controls
It has plenty of cutscenes and was clearly trying to have a story.
I said complex story.
Cuphead has a simple and funny plot, like a cartoon from the 30s.
It's like the user said above: It would be in the way. It's like trying to push more of a story onto Super Meat Boy.
They realised people only watched yahtzee and fired everyone else
I don't think they'll be staying afloat much longer. Yahtzee can pull 500000 views a week, he can probably get ZP crowdfunded by his followers.
And Metroid is trying to be a sci-fi pulp adventure with some background lore. Why is he too dumb to understand this?
What are you trying to say? Yathzee has mentioned a lot of times that the exploration is what he likes the most in metroid and games in general.
Than that makes it even weirder than he wants an obstructive story in Metroid.
Apparently he started doing his own video series about fighting games with some other Aussie guy. Don't know if he's still at it. I haven't seen it but from what I've heard the other guy doesn't really contribute anything and is just there as a sounding board for Gabe.
And Metroid is trying to be a sci-fi pulp adventure with some background lore.
Because it's actually trying and it could be better?
They stay afloat because Yahtzee brings in enough residual traffic to manage. Yahtzee stays because he can pretty much do whatever the fuck he wants and still get his check. When Escapist finally caves he'll be immediately picked up by another site. He knows it and Escapist knows it.
Yeah but what I don't know is why he just doesn't up and go solo. I feel like this was asked once on his Lets Drown Out show but but I don't remember if he gave a real answer.
Metroid has always been about atmosphere and visual cues, not a direct narrative, and Samus Returns does a great job of environmental storytelling. Yahtzee us just too dumb to pick up on this.
Why would he? Might as well ride the gravy train till it stops. He's said before that ZP is now basically just a job so he can support his personal projects like novels and games. He's not going to fuck with the cash flow unnecessarily.
From what i remember he complained just about the controls and linearity in a game about exploratio0n.
It's not like he disliked it, He said that it was like Botw (a game he liked but forgot about 5 minutes after playing it).
Why are you so mad?
Is not inconsistency, People already explained you why a story and easier gameplay in cuphead wouldn't work.
Metroid is actually trying to tell a story, it could be a lot better and for a game about exploration is really linear. Also shitty controls.
He actually praised the historical angle the game aimed for but hates the combat.
You're paranoid as fuck m8
A story in cuphead wouldn't work.
Metroid having a better story would just make the game better, that's a fact.
People already explained you why a story and easier gameplay in cuphead wouldn't work.
And their reasoning was faulty considering Cuphead was clearly trying to have a story. It even had cutscenes you retarded faggot. Yahtzee js giving it a pass because of the art, like the rest of you easily impressed cunts.
Metroid is actually trying to tell a story
And it did so through the enviroment, like the series always does.
See above.
And their reasoning was faulty considering Cuphead was clearly trying to have a story. It even had cutscenes you retarded faggot.
On the bright side, indies and smaller studios exist in a way that they never would have in the past.
Yeah, it's depressing that more creative projects are often overshadowed by mainstream copy-paste Triple A rehashes, but there is still creativity out there.
And their reasoning was faulty considering Cuphead was clearly trying to have a story.
Cuphead doesn't takes itself as seriously as metroid. It's supposed to just be silly
It would just go againts the game aesthetics and shit, If like if you have been just reading what you wanted.
And Metroid is about exploration and atmosphere and a more direct narrative would get in the way. Why are you faggots ignoring this?
I don't remember did Yathzee said that he wants a direct narrative ot just a better one? Do you know that it could be both about exploration and have a better plot?
See, once upon a wonderful time, there used to be such a thing as a decent story writing in videogames, good enough to urge us onwards through the less than perfect gameplay at the time, a form of motivation that seems to have become an artform lost through the ages of videogame industry.
One day, child, you may yet see this lost art be found and returned, but hold out not for hope, for there is none of that here and now. Instead, let us close our eyes and dream of better days forever more.
If you really mean 'above average storytelling', then I agree. All the games that pride themselves on being 'mature', stoic, narrative-driven games (read: everything David Cage) are lower than even straight-to-VOD B-movies in terms of writing.
Funny. Rockstar doesn't boast about any of the fluff Quantic Dream does, but even their B-movie writing shits all over Quantic's. Andthat's not even talking about JRPGs.
Other M was fucking awful though and the narration was God awful, mainly due to the fact that Samus' voice actress was high as fuck on Xanax during her narration recordings.
The story is about finding the Metroids, but there's a sub-theme about the hubris and fall of the Chozo in the background that's told in a very unobstructed and subtle way.
Everyone loves Samus. The only way you could ever not love Samus is if you were such a fucking awful person that literally nobody or even nothing, not even your own family could ever even remotely pretend to like you.
Dobbie likes the movie where poor bullied creator proves his detractors wrong by being the greatest person ever in history
gee what a surprise.
I get the impression Dobson wishes he was as successful as Shyamalamahoweveryouspellhisname
People do this all the time about everything. You took it personally because of some misplaced sense of loyalty, which is hysterical.
It was, especially the story. But I have to admit, once you emulate it with a normal controller, the gameplay is pretty alright. Fix it for normal controls, remove the story and those pixel hunting scenes and you've got a solid foundation for 3D metroid games. What killed it on the wii more than anything was that idiotic controller flipping mechanic.
Can't relate, yahtzee was always the only thing making me go to that site. Was there anything else in there worth watching, ever?
you have completely missed the point and strawmanned heres your (you) for effort.
Extra Credits, which spun off yonks ago, and Critical Miss had some good comics in the mix.
Eh, seen better rants by him.
Just this month the one on the end of the Metal Gear Survive video was better.
To say nothing of the fact that his understanding of video games as an art form is the same backwards-ass Frankensteinian tripe that has plagued the non-Japanese sector of it for decades. Just look at his praise for walking simulators and disdain for any actual fucking video GAME with deeper interactivity and challenge than fucking Batman Arkham.
Nah, if you want the good stuff, check the ending of Kingdom Come review, where he has a rant about mustard race and git gud
I remember liking some of the cheap flash cartoons comedy series they hosted before, but that was fucking forever ago. So long ago in fact that I can't even name any of them off the top of my head.
And then I suggest checking the games he actually prises as having good story and good gameplay. Pro-tip - it's related with this very review, as they are all present in it.
But here, grab a (You)
Notice something those games all have in common?
Now take a look at what website you are on and think long and hard about it.
Not him but I was born in 1991 and I don't pretend like companies are my friends.
Sure, there are people who want to make good games but they need to make money with it too.That's why brand loyalty became a thing, you knew that this company made some quality shit.
They've been publishing games for a long time.
You faggots make it sound like it's easy shit because they get a cut but they're actually busy.
They've been annoyed with MS at least since Windows 8 and are trying to make Linux a viable option for gaming, just recently they hired another dev for linux drivers.
They still do stuff. Aaron, his buddy, is a horrid person with terrible opinions and constantly crying about how much pain he's in, plz gib patreon monies.
Children don't have taste - they just play what's popular, good or not
Remind me again who the target audience of this right here is.
He praised the game a lot, but thought that the entire plot was cringe inducing and uneeded.
Don't forget your reward for beating it is the It Was All a Dream ending that revealed a "crucial" aspect of the story that nearly every single person who played the thing from its Flash incarnation had already figured out.
Ah yes GamerGate is a conspiracy to stop Hillary Clinton from being President (During the primaries) and CoD IS LITERALLY MAKING YOU SOLDIER BOIS man
Blue Baby already told everyone that it's just Isaac suffocating in the chest.
Edmund's a useless asshole who isn't anywhere near as smart as he thinks he is.
They can if the game is Japanese, as opposed to Westerners who just cram disparate elements together out of a crucial misunderstanding of at least one of the mediums.
I wonder if you actually believe that, or it's just a convenient bullshit argument that supports your wapanese faggotry. In either case it assumes that the story in a game is what defines the quality of it, which is so hilariously retarded it made me lol and punch my dad in the dick.
It's mot enough. He needs to openly align with a nationalist movement. So does Broteam. He's already on our side posting sjw leaks all the time. We have to win this war.
They only have a monopoly on PC gaming because the rest of the industry effectively abandoned it after being sunk TORtanic-style by Crysis in 2007 and sold out by MicroXoft.
Reminder that Bethesda did a much fiercer blow by purchasing Fallout from under them.
You're an idiot, there's a difference between liking japanese stuff like anime and being full on mentally challenged weeaboo. That distinction was always here. Stop trying so hard to fit in.
this feels like a stealth milestone, acknowledging that current-year games have truly fucked off into the deep end of shit
Were you in a fucking coma for the past decade?
youtube.com
The site is for otaku culture, not for super wapanese mongoloids who think anything from japan is superior. It's hilarious how you throw reddit accusations while desperately trying to fit in.
Average yahtzee "critique" video
game I don't like
Lol look how shit it is LMAO
game i like
what the fuck, why is this faggot talking shit, he doesn't know anything about the game Git GUDDD
Yeah, but I hate him so I need to defend modern games in order to satisfy my cognitive dissonance.
has good WRITING, perhaps even EXCELLENT writing
Jesus fucking Christ have you ever read a book that wasn't part of some of some trash genre fiction saga?
Zero Punctuation died when Yahtzee could no longer pick music for the intro to match the review and instead switched to that "generic" intro.
At least his books and games are still good.
They're excellent examples, so is System Shock. I'd add Planescape Torment and Desu Ex to the list.
Do a contract to release your game the same day (or after) the most tech developed and hyped game of the decade
They brought it on themselves desu.
Zero Punctuation died less than a year into its life
Zero Punctuation has been dead for over 21x it has been alive
And I thought The Simpsons had it bad.
They’re not bad games but they’re both unfinished and are missing huge chunks of content, we aren’t seeing the full picture with everything put together
Do they just like to stir shit?
Pretty sure the point of this website is to stir shit.
It's almost as if conservatives are an almost non-existent now vocal minority of video gaming enthusiasts and thus the likelihood of encountering one with pro-nationalist and anti-egalitarian views outside of Sup Forums might as well not even be up for debate.
He made him his bitch. Don't you remember?
youtube.com
Give Romero some credit, at least Deus Ex came as a side effect to Daikatana
To sum up the video the other user posted:
Romero pushed the designer-centered development process too far, and failed hard. Companies as a result took all the power away from "star" designers, resulting in games without vision or passion.
after my turn to the left
Did you somehow manage to make your pituitary gland work in reverse?
Man constantly on the move, changes country each few years, doesn't give a shit about whatever politics are going on except what directly affects him.
HOLY SHIT I CAN'T BELIEVE HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT NATIONALITY AND DISLIKES A MOVEMENT THAT LIMITS HIS CAPACITY TO KEEP MIGRATING WHEN CONVENIENT.
Yeah, but he was with Carmack. The shitfall that was Daikatana and the snoozefest of Quake 2 exemplified how they were loose ends without each other.
We're speaking of someone who migrates for pussy. Foreign pussy. Which means not only are his motives shallow and irrational but also inherently dangerous via the fundamental miscegenation factor.
It's a fascinating character study that doesn't rely too much on exposition to get the point across.
I'm honestly really disappointed he didn't outright spoil the entire plot of Hunt Down The Freeman.
Not him but part of the reason for both of Yahtzee's moves was to pursue a girl.
Why bother? Part of the reason the story is crap is because a lot of the points are tiresomely predictable.
He was being bitter cause people think he's funny and cool when he calls games shit, even if he likes them.
value being placed in the proper spot by the community. the only way to fix any human problem. thats why all human problems are unsolvable
console war shit about fucking half life
lol. g-man dispose of these hot heads
tfw one of my posts is in a "best of Sup Forums" image
Is this what Alexander the Great felt like being immortalized in statues?
tfw one of my posts will forever be engraved in /mlp/history
It doesn't make me a celeb, but hey at least I gave tens and tens of people laughter
That literally doesn't mean anything. Most content creators, if you go back to 2014, are making "homophobic" and rape jokes pretty consistantly. Then you fast forward to 2017+ and all of a sudden "We need to make sure that trans/homo/queer/gender-neutral phobics and bigots are all ritually castrated in the streets" as though nothing even happened.
Here's a description for his newest book released just last month:
The novel is about a group of individuals from the Ministry of Occultism needing to track down a magical serial killer while dealing with the public scrutiny of our modern politically correct society
In his 2016 book "Will save the Galaxy for Food" he has a transvestite hooker joke
Why do you make hit pieces for people you know nothing about?
Go back to that post again, and read it again, and notice that I'm in no way agreeing with /pol/.
holy shit that's a blast from the past. Rurikar was my favourite comedian back in the day
Do not rewrite history. Women were frequently told to shut the fuck up about rape. Even the police. I literally saw a cop in front of others spin a beer bottle around. He said "try and penetrate this bottle, it keeps moving, how could you?"
This was to show a woman could not actually be raped if she actually fought
Oh wow. He finally broke down.
Why does this sound a lot like a clickbait shillpost?
Because it is.
Gotta make sure 4chins watch today's funny rant and load up those ads.
yahtzee thread every couple days
still makes a video a week like he has for the past decade
hasn’t changed at all
first replies are always “Wait he still exists/is making videos?”
Romeo and Juliet
Good story
I'M GOING TO THROW MY ENTIRE LIFE AWAY FOR THIS THOT I JUST MET 5 SECONDS AGO
See, I can oversimplify too.
