    Just a reminder that the game was changed literally because EA's focus group of 12 year olds thought the game was too childish. I am not making this up. The game wasn't even supposed to be anywhere near a 12+ minimum age limit.

    When the game was called Overstrike it was going to about 4 special operatives who are all sort of quirky and funny and it looked kind of interesting and sort of a laid back, fun experience to have with friends.
    Then EA cried that it wasn't grim dark and serious enough so they rewrote all the characters into being psychopaths, jaded dickwheels and assholes and took away any sense of humour the game had.
    Seriously, look up the Overstrike trailer and then the Fuse trailer. One of them looks like it would have been a good game if EA hadn't then vacated their casual pandering bowels all over it.

      InfernapeRevolution You know, I'm guilty of that too, but only in accent and tone, not so much the wording. As one of his fans commented during a web interview between him and Escapist staff, "Yahtzee, stop making me hear my every condescending thought in your voice." There's two things I do when I try to make someone feel like an idiot; one of them is stare at them emotionlessly and wait for them to hopefully make up for the lack of my own correcting them, and back in the depths of my mind I narrate every insult that comes to mind in an English accent. I don't feel smarter, but it sure does make me feel better.

    • @clovefulminata505
      @clovefulminata505 10 лет назад +2

      ***** A critic is not just one who criticizes, it's nearly synonymous with reviewer. It CAN just mean someone who expresses unfavorable opinions, but seeing as Yahtzee also points out what a game does well, the definition of "critic" applicable to his job is "a person who judges the merits of literary, artistic, or musical works, especially one who does so professionally." This seems to a common misconception with people in Yahtzee's comment section. Not to mention the fact that in the description of most of his videos, it says "Zero Punctuation REVIEWS ______" As for the original comment, once you've been watching a lot of Yahtzee's videos, you sort of naturally start thinking in the same sort of tone as him, it's not just people "trying to sound smart."

    In general, spectacle refers to an event that is memorable for the appearance it creates. Derived in Middle English from c. 1340 as "specially prepared or arranged display" it was borrowed from Old French spectacle, itself a reflection of the Latin spectaculum "a show" from spectare "to view, watch" frequentative form of specere "to look at."[1] The word spectacle has also been a term of art in theater dating from the 17th century in English drama.

    Pretty confident in saying that 3:51 to 3:59 is a reference to a quote from Captain Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation: "He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so that no one had a chance to interrupt, it was really quite hypnotic". The sentence structure is nearly identical to Picard's quote albeit shifted around slightly, and there's no other reason he'd talk about 'run-on sentences' there when he was talking about mob respawns.

  • @matthewbarwood863

    I simply cannot get over this. After watching a video in which Yahtzee speaks, every single thing I read comes out in his voice! Not just that, but all the comments on these videos are either critic-like where he'd be serious or ludicrously bonkers, in which case he'd be being snarky and sarcastic.

    Hey escapist I have a game to recomend Don't starve or don't starve together which are simmilar to two versions but are rather different in Don't starve together boss health is upped the reason is multiplayer which i would say to play together since the plain version makes you unlock most characters. The games are survivial "horror" it's 2D with a unique style, i like the games personally but would like your opinion.
    Edit: I forgot it isn't story heavy and you might need some help in either game because you need to know quite a bit to survive also the difficulty is rather high.

    Prototype 1 and 2. While his ruling was toward the Infamous in the end of the challenge, he said in his blog he enjoyed Prototype also. Oblivion, and of course Fallout 3. Dunno what he thinks of Fallout New Vegas. Just filling a few gaps, don't mind me.
