    I find it funny that the best method to tell if Yahtzee really enjoyed a game is to see if he mentions it in a non derogatory fashion in another review.

    • @Penningtontj
      @Penningtontj 9 ปีที่แล้ว +58

      The Addiction 2 That said the XCOM review was pretty clearly positive.

      @brentblayoneblayone3948 9 ปีที่แล้ว +48

      The Addiction 2 haha this is actually true most of the time. It's only when he reviews truly shitty games that he starts to realize how good some of the other games he's trashed are.

    • @BaseCu327
      @BaseCu327 9 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      Brent Blayone Blayone He trashes everything. The only thing he really hasn't is Portal, and that's just because, according to Yahtzee, it has no actual flaws to be trashed on.

    • @LeonGun8
      @LeonGun8 9 ปีที่แล้ว +61

      The Addiction 2 nah, he nitpicks the games he likes but he doesn't trashes them. He truly liked Dark Souls and WInd Waker forexample,but he nitpicked te fuck out of them too. The games he hates he will trash to hell and back though.

    About that bit from the Moon landing:
    Wikipedia: Portions of the Apollo 11 mission are dramatized in the HBO mini-series From the Earth to the Moon episode entitled "Mare Tranquilitatis". In that episode, Michael Collins made the following suggestion as to what Armstrong should say upon stepping onto the lunar surface: "If you had any balls, you'd say 'Oh, my God, what is that thing?' then scream and cut your mic."

      @rodiculous9464 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Randy Williams you know not every game needs some ridiculous emmy-award winning script. a game is about GAMEplay first. some of the best games ever had no more story than "oh look monsters, go kill them with this bigass shotgun" and they turned out just fine. maybe you need to go read a comic book or something.

    • @belisauriusfish9406
      @belisauriusfish9406 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Randy Williams there's a book series called the wheel of time where the protagonist's father was only maimed by a rampaging plot device and remained an important character, but apart from that, these rampaging plot devices are just lethal. We should do something about them.

    During the entire game, I get the feeling that they had an understanding of what they were doing, but had little idea of how to do it. As if they had the ideas down but weren't though though enough, probably because half the team were making the expansion for XCOM: EU at the same time. I feel like if they put more time into this it could have been profound but instead amounted to what felt like half of a good idea.

    • @MootCoffee
      @MootCoffee 11 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It wasn't half a team, it was two totally different developers; Firaxis did Enemy Unknown and 2K Marin did this one. They had a full staff.

      +Motör Punx In theory yes, money, but in pratice it's stupid and doesn't make any money: most people playing modern FPS don't care/know about a 20 year old RTS, and people that enjoyed a RTS 20 years ago would probably prefer it to remain a RTS.

    One thing I noticed in this game is why is there no Chryssalids? For everyone else who have played XCOM, Chryssalids are are the main thing you associate with the entire franchise. This game just doesn't feel like the other XCOM games, one because the Ethereals are the good guys now for some reason, and that half the enemies, including Chryssalids, are gone and replaced with these new aliens called Zudjari. What the heck are those? It's not like we'll see them again or that they overwhelmingly effect the canon of XCOM, so why have them to begin with?

    • @Spar_kie

      Almost a year after this comment, a man has swam with a live giant squid, albeit a juvenile, for the first time in recorded history. It tried to grab him half heartedly at one point, but apart from that, he enjoyed the dive. Giving a name doesn't make it less terrifying. Getting to know it does. I don't know where I'm going with this anymore.

    A pizza with pizza instead of bread? But then that means that the new bread pizza also requires pizza for bread, meaning that it goes on infinitely, and the nine pizzas for filling? Dear god my brain melted and oozed out my ear into a little puddle when I tried to comprehend the amount of pizzas needed for that!
    Answer to it all? INFINITE PIZZA!

I'm not saying that my opinion has really changed on it (I'm not really a fan at all, I just hear about them in passing an check out Doug's content once in a while), but it seems everyone else's has. I only believe this because when I type Channel Awesome in the TH-cam search bar, the second suggestion is "Channel Awesome Controversy."

      Alex Adamson Redemption for them is not possible at all... half-possible... I played the bureau... listen... there was that mission... i was fighting... there was a gap. So i ordered one of my guys to throw a grenade across... Aiming system made it impossible... BECAUSE THAT'S HOW GRENADES WORK

    • @alexadamson1948
      @alexadamson1948 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rafał Żochowski Yeah the game was sucky. But to be honest the main problem I had with it was the disappointment, I believe it had so much potential.

      You know the truth is Steel Batallion Heavy Armor also had characterized perma death characters, and this feature may have helped make it a very unique and replayable game... if the controls weren't absolute shit.

    I actually thought the trailers for the original idea for the Bureau were very interesting and different. Even if it did look like a generic shooter, everything else about it was fascinating.

    They both have a place in the gamer world. Considering that RTS is for the hectic and fast-thinking strategist. And the turn based strategy is for those who would rather take some time before making their next move to avoid unnecessary risks... If possible.

    Even if he's not always accurate or filled with tremendous life-changing thoughts, he is more funny and punchy and therefore he has a bigger audience. which matters more in terms of sheer effect on the huddled masses. That's why we tend to stress so much the importance of informative vs entertaining in media.
    Also I would never have discovered the Escapist without him.

    I remember having fun with this game. Definitely not as good as the strategy games, Mas Effect, or Alpha Protocol but it was still enjoyable when I'm in the right mood. Though I wish the weapon selection was larger. I know its set too early for M-16 Rifles but the US Air Force was issuing the AR-15 rifle which the design the M-16 was based ob when the game takes place so we could have had that. And separate Assault Rifles and Submachine Guns rather then shove a Laser Submachine Gun into the Assault Rifle category.
