Fed up of hyped games getting 10/10?

I laughed so much I peed a little.

Yahtzee made a game;

"The Escapist is pleased to present The Art of Theft, the latest game from Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw. The Art of Theft is a mission-based stealth platformer, with an emphasis on gameplay over story. Your goal is to infiltrate a variety of buildings in Chapow City, steal loot, achieve objectives and get out again with the subtlety of a flickering shadow in a ninja outfit."

Its quite hard at the start to learn, but has a good back story which keeps me playing. And I LOVE the simplistic graphics, you dont need more when the gameplay is this good

This week Yahtzee goes to Valve. I wanted more out of it this week to be honest, still top notch anyway.

Arrgg- have to read! Last part made me giggle in light of his previous statment.

Art of theft made me think rolling thunder/ elevator action/ impossible mission but obviously I understand it will play differently.

This week Yahtzee reviews F.E.A.R Perseus Mandate. It's funny, but Assassins Creed, CoD4, and UT3 would of all made better games to review this week. F.E.A.R isn't exactly the hottest game of the season now is it?

ZP this week is the new FEAR expansion. Yeah, yeah, boo hoo, why aren't I reviewing all the important new stuff like Call of Doody 4 and Piss Effect. F*** you. I wanted the opportunity to talk about the FEAR series. You'll take what I give and like it you sl*t. Plus sometimes it takes a while for the very newest stuff to trickle down to me from the source so give me a god damn break.

To be honest, Crysis is the only game so far which has lived up to its own hype (well, along with UT3 as well). CoD 4, while it features beautiful graphics and art assets, is too linear, and Bioshock, while heavily original, didn't captivate me as much as I would have thought. Although Bioshock was extremely interactive, it simply wasn't engaging enough to be a Half-Life 1 or 2 buster for me.

And Enemy Territory...talk about a massive let down in of itself. I've been looking forward to that game for years and what does it turn out to be? A generic sci-fi MMOG arcadefest. Nothing new here folks, keep moving... Don't even get me started about Perseus Mandate, which is essentially a regurgitation of F.E.A.R. 1 with a nonsensical storyline. I honestly believe that the developers of Perseus Mandate have given up on any kind of coherent story, and instead thrust you back into the all too familiar urban landscape for another walk in the park so you can blow the hell out of people/things with a rocket launcher.

Also have yet to play Assassin's Creed, which looks incredible from what I've seen, but will it also live up to its hype or fail outright?

 

[THG repo]

COD4 was a fine game not special worth playing though.

I don't see how it could have had a non linear plot and not been gay.

Crysis SP is awesome, COD4 multiplayer actually offers something different, but in the end I will probably be spending the majority of my online time in Quake Wars over the next year. Yes it has twitch gunplay, but the overall focused strategic game I think is unmatched right now. I mean it's Quake, what do you expect? I have to give props to SD for crafting such a finely balanced intricate gem.

Bioshock imho was junk and shouldn't even be discussed in the same thread as these other games.

Yahtzee made a game

he's made more than one actually, you can find his other games here:

Bioshock wasn't junk, just not nearly as satisfying as all of the rags wanted you to believe.

And now we have Jeff Gerstman at Gamespot being fired for putting up an honest review.

How many bags of money did Tripwire distribute for RO's 81 metascore? J/K!

 

[Shepherd]

Wow, Ubisoft really knows how to generate good publicity.
Has anyone seen the Jade Raymond comic?

I've got to say, no matter how good or bad Kane & Lynch actually is, that review sucked ***. All he did was talk the game down without giving any real reasons beside his own ignorant opinion. The AVGN could have done a more sophisticated review.

 

[Zoring]

Hehe, funny, anyhow what a cheap tactic by using a hot woman to sell games, you know what nerds are like with human females!

 

[Fu. Svedberg]

HAHA the Assassins Creed review was entertaining

[Coey]

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Edit: I didn't put that space there

 

[CatMangler]

Another classic, can't wait for the COD4 and or Crysis review

 

[D3terioNation]

Dont think he'l do COD4. Waaay too late for it + I doubt he will find much to slag off

Probably same for Crysis

 

[Shepherd]

There's already good reviews of CoD4, for example
