I Yahtzee. You can tell he was pulling his punches with ME2, which means he actually liked it.



The worst thing about ME2 for me? It makes the wait for ME3 that much harder.

People love to knock satire or comedy as a means to get legitimate information. But ZP and things like Daily Show/Colbert Report prove otherwise. Their is a truth in the less than serious tone of satire to make very good points and be informative. You need to be able to pick up on it but it's there most of the time.



And yes as many have pointed out Yahtzee did enjoy it, he always nit picks when he enjoys a game for the most part.

Mannnn I love Zero Punctuation. Glad they did a piece on ME2.

Jetpacks is actually not a bad idea, just not very Mass Effect-ish.

[95Headhunter]

I reckon the Hammerhead might come close enough to the jetpack idea. It hovers afterall.



I'm excited to see what they do with the concept.

Thats what ME2 was missing.    This guy knows what hes talking about

Seriously, I love this guys reviews. More reviewers need to learn to analytically criticize good games. Just because a game is good doesn't mean you need to heap praise on it, with critiscism no more complex then "I has less guns :sadface: T_T.

Bioware, if you don't read a single review, read this one.

He was pretty much right about everything.

[FlintlockJazz]

Was wondering when he was gonna do ME2, and it was hilarious.

"Commander Shepard should acquire resources by shooting them out of an aliens face or be extracting them from the throats of alien hotties with his tongue."

classic.

They should make that the official tagline for ME3.

[NvVanity]

Gotta love the "Add wolves that shoot lasers out of their mouths" part. Maybe ME3 will feature Varren Husks that shoot lasers? That'd be badass.

I'll be damned, one of his reviews that didn't make me want to slap the sanctomonius little ****.

Yeah it was surreal. Am I in a parallel universe?

[Tisiphne]

Can't say I disagreed with him on any points.

He hit the major ones: 
No more Mako in low gravity! Yay! Have to do all Paragon or Renegade to get the best options! Boo! Pandering to Fox News! Boo! No more hoarding weapons! Yay!

He obviously liked it. That's about as appreciative as he gets.

Not quite. His review of Portal (3:29) takes the cake there.

His ME2 review  is pretty much bang on. We didn't want to lose the mako's missions, just the vehicle itself. And mining, don't get started on mining.

[Andarthiel_Demigod]

He makes some good points there and I do love his reviews.
No jetpacks though, that's just wrong. I kinda gree wih him on one thing, the resource stuff could've been handled better(a system that was kess tedious). But yea it sounded like he enjoyed this one somewhat.

[Marta Rio]

Love Zero Punctuation.



So even though he's kidding about the jetpacks - um, can we haz them please Bioware?

again i have to ask, you end up with the same weapons at the end of ME1.....as you do in ME2, except there is absolutely nothing inbteween starter weapon and endgame, except MAYBE 1 other gun. how is that an improvement? in ME1 the customization wasnt exactly distinctly varied, but it was there, i cant say the same of ME2 at all. there were very different weapon mods, not explodey bullet/ lighting gun different all the time, but certainly more varied than damage buff level 1/2/3/4/5. once you got the widow/revenant/claymore/tempest/carnifex the other weapons had no purpose; this is the exact same problem as ME1 with 90% less variation.

you cannot honestly say that ME2 had more customization than ME1; superficial armor colour color aside...actually superficial armor colour should show you that customization doesnt have to be only the difference between black and white to be fun.

Actually I can honestly say ME2 had more customization then ME1. In ME1, although you had a sense you could customize your weapons, some models were cleary better then others, and in the end you always ended up with the same ones ( on insanity at least ).

Regarding the weapon choices, except the Widow, you are wrong. Revenant doesn't pack the same punch as a Vindicator, or the same damage to shields as a collector rifle. The Claymore is beaten in ranged damage by the Eviscerator and in ammo capability the Scimitar and katana. The tempest has accuracy and ammo versus the Shuriken, but the Shuriken deals a **** load more damage and the Carnifex fires slowers and has less ammo then the Predator Pistol.

So ye, there are more choices in ME2 then ME1. In ME1 you got the Spectre Weapons and nothing could even come close to them.

Regarding your armor. There is customization there also. You can either build an armor set for shields.health, weapon damage or power damage. And it will affect your play style. There are also the choices to use other armor sets.

So ye there is a great deal of customization in ME2.

The thing about great satire is that its relevant and theres enough truth in it to make the barbs sting just a little bit. All of Yahtzees reviews have a bit of uncanny truths to them even when hes being disingenuous in the extreme. He has this knack for verbalizing alot of the things you find annoying about a game,

He definitely from the school of reviewing where he measures the worth of a game by how frequently its creators manage to screw up. So you know something is begrudgingly good when the only things he can knock a game for are superficial, even trivial. Watch his Batman: AA review because thats pretty much the best Batman game ever made and one of the best adventure/combat games of all time and he knows it. I remember him admitting elsewhere that all he could do was nitpick because that game is tight.

I'm surprised he wasn't harder on it.

[Daerog]

Best part was dismissing BioWare's good writing, because it's just expected from them now.
