Shadezilla Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Zero Punctuation is one of the best things on the internet! For him, that was actually a pretty positive review. He did highlight one of my problems with the game though: Lightside vs Darkside choices and how you might as well be locked in at creation. Summed up my thoughts on the current alignment system as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudenfusz Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Watched it days ago... follow the stuff Yahtzee does for quite some time, and wondered when he started last year to talk about MMOs in his zero punctuation if he might do exactly this review... no disappointment here.

jestertron Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Loading it right now, but I can tell, of all of the reviews (critics and general forum posts) this is going to be the only honest opinion about this game. I freaking love Yahtzee's reviews. He hated Demons's Souls, I did too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokai Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) No one else found it humorous? JJ the final hansolo joke...my god hahaha still laughing! one for the books! Edit: to all the haters.... Zero Punctuation pretty much isn't a serious review, he basically makes fun of games for most part. Sure he may say this or thats good but idea is to make sound legit while making people laugh. Edited February 4, 2012 by Lokai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krameriffic Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 This guy was an idiot. Was this supposed to be joke? Wasn't even that funny. Ahh, the old "doesn't agree with me=idiot" approach. He has around 200 video reviews over the course of the last 4 years and is presumably quite popular (or they wouldn't keep paying him to make these reviews). Perhaps you didn't like it, but it doesn't make him an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNCommand Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Cows go moo dogs go bark mmo players go "pvp is unbalanced" had to replay that twice. I should get a small clip of that on youtube and link it to every PVP discussion on this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddballEasyEight Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 MMORPG = Massively Multiplayer Online Rage Producing Gobbledygook now we know on a sidenote i think the review was pretty much spot on (especially for a non MMO player like yahtzee) and the only thing he missed was that you dont get lightside points in group conversations just because the guy that won picked lightside, but thats an easy mistake to make. always loved yahtzee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimgrey Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Given Yahtzee's hyperbolic rants about other RPGs and MMOs, that review was pretty positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhak Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 "So this is why they called him Han Solo" Man I love the Zero Punctuation guy. Gratned his job is pretty much just to lampoon everything he plays but he does it so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithZigg Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I found it to be quite hilarious. I also agree with him that one week is not enough time to review ANY MMORPG, let alone SW:TOR. I could also tell that he is not much of an MMORPG fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoaghes Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Didnt like the site, didnt like the review.. Not because they thought TOR sucks ***, couldnt care **** about that. But I totally hate everyone and their 5 yo sister using Anonymous typo computer voice-overs that run at twice normal pitch. Besides that I thought the reviewer was a whiney ***** who couldnt seperate general SW lore from this game or anything else for that matter. Waste of 5 minutes watching this but at least I know this is one more site I will never take serious when it comes to gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste of 5 minutes watching this but at least I know this is one more site I will never take serious when it comes to gaming. Id like to point out a few things here. 1: that is his actual voice in the review, not some anonymous typo computer voice-over. 2: you say you couldnt care **** about them thinking TOR sucks, and yet you claim you think he was a whiney ***** because he couldnt separate general SW lore? (please point out when he did that btw) 3: didnt like the site? really? so you sampled everything the escapist had to offer then did you? or was that just a knee-jerk reaction to the "boo hoo this guy doesnt like my game" feeling you got? I love SWTOR, but i seriously dont understand the people that get upset by this review... he has some very valid points (especially if you figure in that he himself admits that he just doesnt like MMO's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
