Welcome, take a seat. Everyone here? Good.
Well I was walking down with some friends through a hallway talking about Zero Punctuation, when suddenly some turkey came out of nowhere calling us blind Yahtzee fan boys (actually it was ruder than that, I can't remember what it was exactly but that's basically the gist of it). The first thing I thought was "fucking clown!", but then I remembered there is millions of things, big and small, that I disagreed with.
Big like: real time strategy games can't compete with the snake riding experience in Shadow of the Colossus. To me that's just crap. There is still a lot of room for improvement and it goes against my motto, "anything is possible with art".
- That you could still beat masters at fighting games by just mashing buttons. Believe me, I've tried. It doesn't work when they can pull of 30 hit combos.
- Also, I don't believe the lives system is out of date as long as it's implemented well. It makes you more careful as you know you can actually lose. I guess when I say 'implemented well' that really just goes for about anything though.
- I reckon he should also give Nintendo a break since this new console is superior to the Wii and will have the option of the pro controller for most of the games coming out (that's what I'm hoping for anyway). So the gimmicks shouldn't be so annoying any more.
And there's a lot more but I can't remember it all right now. Actually, I'm generally interested in the opinions of the escapee's (no one else) and was hoping some of you will remind me of those I forgot.
Don't get me wrong, Yahtzee is still one of my favourite critics, but I just like to get it out. So what opinions of Yahtzee's do you disagree with? If you disagree with everything he says then just bring up the biggest.
