"Zero Punctuation" and "Dev Diary" by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw - The only thing worth watching on The Escapist

[Just_a_Bored_Guy]

If I remember correctly, this isn't the first time Yatzee has reviewed an Early Access game

It's not. He also covered Shadows of Doubt, which he actually really liked. Enough to put it on his best list last year

 

[Xarpho's Return]

Tbf for the tranny, someone like Yahtzee can fuck over the entire success of his game by being overly negative and being the first "mainstream" review people see. Also the game is still early access so why even review it? Especially as once the game release people will look at the tl;dr of the review as being what happens in the final game. It will be interesting to know what specifically was the "limitations".

Early access games (not demos) should be far enough along that you should have a general idea of where it's going and what it's going to be like (if it releases 1.0, which many early access games do not). You can't really push out a half-done game then get huffy when people dislike it.

Dev deleted the tweet.

Well I’m glad they can delete a tweet they made… shame they can’t un-chop off their cock…

G-man shills is going out his way defending the tranny but, i notice something.



Both G-man and the dev uses the same phrase "this ain`t it". is it the new reddit slang like "wholesome" and "touch grass"?

"I don't like it when people are overly critical"
We know G-shill, you talentless corporate hack

So what does it make Yahtzee then?

I'm interested on what it was about but not as much as to either listen to the video or play the billionth copy of Doom.

On one hand Yhatzee can be pretty aggressive if he doesn't feel he has his cock sucked enough. On the other hand Indie devs have had only softballs critiques coming at them for decades by now (unless they dare voice a wrongthink and then their games get savaged).

This "made by like 3 people" argument has never held water for serious reviewing. The whole reason indies can work in the first place is that you don't need a huge team to get your systems right. Photorealistic graphics (where having an enormous budget and hundreds of artists will indeed help) aside, being a good indie isn't about trying to imitate AAA. It's about trying to be better than AAA.

A dev took issue with his review. Apparently in spite of the game receiving positive feedback on steam, the dev has to hone in on a single sort've negative review. Apparently if something's bad on purpose, you're not allowed to criticise it for that aspect.

Oh good, someone with more sense than me preserved this absolute embarassment. Will serve as futureproof ammo to dunk on Shillman in his next endeavors.

More likely a case of the tranny running to him in tears begging for some validation and Shillman, being the retarded faggot that he is, parroting the tweet almose wholesale.

being a good indie isn't about trying to imitate AAA. It's about trying to be better than AAA.

Which used to be the case back when Indie just started.

NOW though? I think Indie has lost its way, partially because like everything else it's been infiltrated by the same people that have been killing mainstream vidya for years.

I didn't think the review was bad at all, especially since yahtzee is usually sarcastic/ambiguous even for games he enjoys. He basically said "it has flaws but it's fun enough and a good effort for a small team." Troons are just hyper sensitive as always, when really he should be grateful for the yahtzee publicity.

yeah, yahtzee could have been WAY harsher if he wanted to but he cleary liked the game. just mentioned some of its flaws. you can still like a game even if it dose things you dont like.

Indie may as well be synonymous with "slop from people who went to video game design school and learned how to use unity to cobble together their shitty game ideas". We're a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way out from Super Meat Boy.

Super Meat Boy wasn't even that good and Edmund got a huge ego over it.
Binding of Isaac was good though.

I fucking wish the issue in modern gaming was greedy douchebags. At least those have an economical incentive of actually not insulting their audience. Instead it's women and trannies despoiling everything.

 

[Dude Snakes]

Oh and he spends the first half of the review talking about how he wants to be a sexy anime girl.

Pfft I shouldn't be suprised with that fucking virtue signalling faggot.

Not really, its still greedy dbags in the end. The problem is, you can cry about "da wamens and da trannies" until Dagon rises from the sea, but its still greedy dbags who just look at either social medias or listen to people close to them as "Nah dude, I tellz ya this shit gonna fly high", an thus where it all is. Really, its no big conspiracy or whatever, its just mofos lookin at all this shit and thinking it'll make em big bucks.
