Hahaha, that’s awesome.

Even when I don’t agree with Yahtzee’s reviews, I always love watching them.

I love these things..good times! I agree with some of what he says, but disregarding the multiplayer is pretty lame.

BioShock was considered perfect but had 0 multiplayer, does that mean it was half perfect cause it didn't have it?

@ Blindside

I didn't say that...nobody was expecting awesome multiplayer with Bioshock, so it didn't matter. But the Halo series has always been focused on the multiplayer, which this guy obviously didn't grasp. The campaigns has never been the highlight of the Halo series...so I'm not sure why he would expect it to be.

I know, I just messing with you about the ha1oez. But if it is all about the multi, why even have single player? And they should probably not hype/push/promote the single player with "Finish the Fight."

Bammo! Thesbo goes down.

haha you think they could sell teh Haloz without single player? Don't you remember what happened with Shadowrun? Disaster! Nobody wants to pay $60 for a few multiplayer maps. So they needed something for single player.

UT3?

Apparently people use a lot of the other modes, especially the sucky ones! Game modes nad more extensive map editor?

Plus didn't they sell a Halo 2 multi-player map game disc thingy?

haha only really hardcore gamers play UT3...even I don't play it. Unreal Tourny will never make the kinda cash that the Halo games will.

As someone who read the books and comics, I actually really like the Halo 3 single player...

@ Hoygeit

Sorry, I didn't say it was bad or anything...just that the series is more focused on the success and longevity of the muliplayer...which does include co-op of course.

Haha- sorry didn't mean to imply that.

I do realize multi-player is where the focus of the game is. I just wanted to state that I'm enjoying the single player aspect.

My confidence in him has been shaken by this one statement: "I don't give a shit about multiplayer, and neither do a lot of people." I'm sorry, but that's one of the most rock-stupid statements I've ever heard. Does he know anything about the current state of gaming? Multiplayer is the one component of Halo 3 that people DO give a flying shit about. (Again, though, I still prefer campaign.)

Anyway, yes, he's always funny. I just don't really go for his overly-critical manner, and no I'm not just saying this because he trashed my game. He just seems like one of those critics who wouldn't be satisfied if God himself opened up the heavens and handed him the perfect game.

Sounds like saying it cause he trashed your game, Sharpless.

If there weren't people who didn't care about mulutiplayer, they wouldn't have made the Core system and still have it around.

And if you saw other videos you know he has praised video games! Heck in the BioShock video he says that his positive reviews (Psychonauts) don't go over well and wasn't going to do a "positive" BioShock review. He found his niche.

So it sounds like he likes BioShock and really LOVES Psychonauts.

Haha, funny as always.

@Sharpless

I don't think he was talking about Halo multiplayer, i think he was talking about multiplayer in general.

I particularly find it said that a game that is being hyped up so much has to rely on it's multiplayer to save it which is essentially is the game before it but more shiny and some new maps.

Of course *looks around for JACK* this could possibly could be said about other games as well.
Sharpless's Avatar - Comment posted on 10/03/2007 14:21
Sharpless
Well, yes, Blindside, but you are wrong. I am not saying it because he trashed my game, as I previously indicated. When legitimate criticism is offered, I accept it. I didn't feel that all his points were legitimate. The end.

Blindside, shut the fuck up, and just play some mother fucking games.

Sorry, Blindside, you aren't going to win this one. We all feel the same way pretty much: He overlooked and underestimated the multiplayer win of Halo.

Hey, if anyone's still paying attention to this comment thread, I thought this was interesting. It's a long-time member of the Halo community's take on Yahtzee's review.

Now, before you criticise him for being an uptight Halo fan, he's actually a really cool guy. He does realize that it was meant to be a funny review, above all. However, I agree with every point "narcogen" makes here. I don't mind Yahtzee disliking Halo. I do, however, mind that a lot of his points were invalid or illogical.
