Graeme Vaughey coming from yahtzee, that is FUCKING AMAZING

at least then people might buy it because ZP had something to do with it.

How dare he off-handedly, give that game a mild compliment!?

Graeme Vaughey Yep, and "occasionally not boring" is the highest praise this is deserving of.

Nathan Clark I don't get where people are coming from with comments like this. Yes, he is a reviewer that predominantly focuses on the negative aspects of a game, but just because he was able to come up with more negative things about other games doesn't mean it was good; in fact he does actually talk about more positive aspects of games he does like. It means it was so bland he barely could come up with anything to distinguish between positive and negative to begin with. And in a lot of ways, that is even worse than an asset flip Steam game.

TheIntergalacticN 10/10 comment.

TheIntergalacticN do you feel proud?

Solid Comment... Mind to take liberties?

Remember the the time it was rising now it just tries to survive

Ba dum TIS

Zero P is his rapping name

Lay a backing track under that shit.

Hit that 1.75, and open up a dimensional rift.

The man's still got it after all these years

Try watching it at 2x

Because it's a decent little game. If you bother to, actually play it more than five minutes, which none of the reviews did.

? what are you talking about? he ripped it a new one in the end

He was pretty fair to the game. Unlike other so called reviews of the game. I swear angry joe never played more than hour and certainly didn't beat the game.

Nothing here indicates Yahtzee beat it either

Yep. Surprised me to the brink of a heart attack.

Balance

That sound like a headache and brain damage.

One of the best intro jingles ever composed by mortal man.

when does he get the chance to breathe!!!!

he does that once in a while, but when he does, Oh Boiii, the funny thing is, even when he speeds up, you can still clearly hear and understand what he is saying

Or slimy tentacles

or Sundowner faces

Or Sam's shit-eating grin.

Or all 4 of these

I was expecting Nanomachines, son.

Suika Ibuki probably because he probably played it past the tutorial unlike Jim Sterling, Angry Joe, and Dunkey

Suika Ibuki because he's not biased as hell like so many other reviewers

right you are. He was able to look past the BS and just focus on the game. The game is STILL BAD, though. But at least he was fair.

Indeed, he mentioned the 15 min defense part which is pretty darn late in the game.

Carlos Yahtzee is super biased, just like any other reviewer. What are you on about? They each have their own biases and preferences.

No wonder they went down this rout.

alex_9000 u wot?

aylamaiia seriously look up what the new leader of Konami made before being in Charge ITS FUCKING HORRENDOUS!

This explains a lot of things

Japanese public loves mobile games a lot

I missed them, honestly.

Frog Lawyer hes beencdoing it for years? Wtf are you talking about?

Frog Lawyer Game was so shit he didn’t even bother making a thumbnail for it and just used a screencap instead

That's because it's 43 minutes old. Give it time to stop crying, at least rinse the blood off.

Ra the Sun God It wasn't a complain... I was simply surprised they bring this kind of thumbnails back. This doesn't make the video any worse, it was still an amazing video, as always.

Actually Kojima was sinking their business with his insanely bloated budgets and long development times.

Gaming was actually always a small portion of their income, they make way more in pachinko. Kojima games made their money, but just not as much.

Their profit margins were slim with his insane budgets. Now they're laughing as Sony enters that sinkhole with the insanity that is death stranding. I mean look at that thing, hollywood actors, tons of CGI trailers. They're never making their money back on that thing.

breadordecide yeah, but at least people are loving sony and for it, meanwhile Konami is just getting shit on by everybody

It did work out pretty nice for konami after Kojima left, small budgets and no sales extreme hate, i see as a big win situation. And as sony doesn't need profit for his games that badly, a 10/10 exclusive would rack in more money anyway, i'm on board.

Having never really played a metal gear game before I can honestly say with a fresh pair of eyes its not bad, just like DMC, pretend it's not a metal gear game and it has a few points in its own merit

GoldenGamer true But not many

So basically, like Dark Souls 2 or Fallout 4, a decent game on it's own merits if you pretend it's not a game in its respective franchise.

@@KitsuneYojimbo No! Not decent on its own merit. It's garbage through and through.

@@eddebrock So Survive was actually that bad? Glad I missed it if that's the case.

United Potatoes Boomhauer award

United Potatoes Best thing is, it's actually understandable.

United Potatoes John Machito JR lost it?

Isn't that Jay Z's new album?

Ah my friend you forget the micromachines man

Game franchises can die with their creators too, it's a two way road. But it sure does happen more when they left to others.

Joao Batista Perin Junior That rarely happens...

ManiacX1999 *looks at Crash(before the remaster), Spyro, Silent Hill, and dozens of other games* Dude, have you even played a long running franchise? Other then Nintendo games, most of them have shit games in their libraries.

Moment of silence for the Mass Effect series

Tooooootally. Which is why we have so many, like seriously so many, games on par with MGS's quality and wtf factor...... I mean, think about it. It only takes counterfeiters years of their lives studying great works of art to recreate fakes in their image that only the most highly trained eye can discern, so a business that thinks Pachinko is a better bet than videogames? Yup. They got this. There is no such thing as a virtuoso in gaming.....

ɪᴍᴀɢɪɴᴀʀʏꜰᴀɴʙoʏ Pretty much all his reviews are like that--but he streams and talks at a normal human pace then :D

Welcome to Zero Punctuation reviews.

English is my only language and I could barely keep up.

Welcome to zero punctuation. He is like this because he uses zero punctuations.

ɪᴍᴀɢɪɴᴀʀʏꜰᴀɴʙoʏ you're new here, aren't you

How can you tell? :V

Konami aren't inventive enough to think of something slightly above lazy.

deus vult this sounds like it was written by a 12 year old on an extreme coco-pops high

He does enjoy a good field day tearing apart the undeniably shitty. It's like a hobby for him. So yes, it denied him his favorite pasttime.

I’m surprised Yahtzee didn’t mention the character save micro transactions. That’s plenty reason to “burn the studio down.”

To be fair, it's really only as good as it is because of the engine, which they just took from MGSV anyway.

It's not a character save its an entire new character that can use and adds to your current stocked resources over all characters. Plus I've also been showered with enough premium currency from daily logins to get an extra character if I wanted it. It's just like paying for FOB's.

You say that like it's a good thing. The fact that not only is another save locked behind a "micro"transaction, but ALSO having that extra character actively make your original character better is just gross. Games shouldn't be a fucking job that you clock into each day, and then get rewarded with scrip that can only be spent at the company store, to buy equipment that should have just been given to you in the first place.

Already dead :D

We still love you.

Minimum, 3 max

I'd say #3 which is really the worst place to be on that list because it doesn't stand out enough even in being bland to be above or below it.

I'll be surprised it's not in the 'meh' position of 3rd in the top blandest games of 2018.

vinnythewebsurfer I would say 3rd. Because, you know, being bland but not bland enough to make it the most bland is a feat in of itself

I’m from the future to tell All of you that you’re wrong. It’s his 3rd worst.

He's a contrarian, what do you expect?

Pyre Light nope WORST (who know, maybe many morebto come)

I wouldn't go that far with the "worst". MGS (not to confuse with Solid) is just incessantly mediocre, and would have probably gone by without fanfare were it not part of a recognized franchise. The worst games of the year are games that barely function, that drive you insane just by looking at them, things that Man should have never conceived for they are considered acts against God.

same, as for worst, I'd probably give that to hunt down the freeman (if you can even call that a game).

Nah. Game isn't even that bad. Just mind numbingly mediocre.

Pyre Light He should have a list of Laziest Games where clearly the studio put minimal effort into the actual game. It wpuld definitely fit there.

Gotta get the cash, gotta get the dough.

chatotalks _____, Get away, get a good job with good pay and you're ok,

What else could someone say?

chatotalks ____ loads of _____

Money.

Yahtzee actually isn't that harsh anymore for the most part, unless the game is truly awful. Most "bad games" these days are just boring or not worth getting in a tizzy over, despite that being his entire gimmick. This game is a perfect example. It's just...mediocre. it just exists. It's not worth getting angry over because to do so would require more thought and emotional engagement then the makers themselves gave to it.

That, and with stuff like this, he tends to be more Passive aggressive than proactively aggressive, usually because everyone else has already done the whole Aggressive part.

I was actually hoping for Yahtzee to offer a bit more of an unbiased view of the game given how he prefers poking fun at Kojima's absurd storytelling and never seemed too attached to the whole thing. He still didn't seem to explore much of the gameplay, but at least he's not taking it like Konami just butchered his own child. That skinner box comment really summed up the whole situation, which was about as realistically harsh you can be about this game.

Pc Genie (videogamedunkey) The dude has some really funny videos and some review content. I recommend checking out his non-review content if you really want to laugh.

Poyo Spartan I fall into a similar boat on not giving a shit about Kojima. I loved playing V but the story was god awful and hidden behind terrible choices. I'm looking forward to Death Stranding because it will either go down in flame proving that Kojima is insane or it will be great and will point to the fact that I just don't understand his "vision". Or alternatively, It will get praise while being terrible and prove that people really are just balls deep on anything Kojima.

Spectre Walkthroughs he also kinda liked MGS V but because of the gamemplay being fun, not any connection to the game's themes or ideas.

GammaDelta MG killed in action

He's Australian.

Red Kite He's British but was born in Australia.

Because you can play those to death and be totally bored by them. I like this game a lot and play it between Monster Hunter and Kingdom Come.

People forget the MG made spin-offs

State of decay 2 and the last of us 2 would like a word with you. Also there hasnt been many zombie games in like a year. (i dont even consider this game really a zombie game)

Also Days Gone.

Good joke you have there, it'd be a shame if it went over people's heads...

ayyyy i see what you did there fuck you

Zombies have the potential to be very interesting concepts, yet very few can do more with it other than making a bland copy of other successful zombie related stuff.

Ranthony But I never said I was. I said I'd feel squeamish and have some personal issues, as I've never experienced bosses as bad as Konami, where they've been accused of blacklisting employees that leave the company so they can basically never get another job in their market, but I have experienced horrible bosses and abusive relationships before where someone has taken advantage of me, as well as the pettiness with which they've handled the Kojima separation has not endeared them to me any further. I'm still not going to judge them for enjoying a game experience. I enjoyed the old MGS, and Konami was still Konami back then.

i bought the game, played it for a little over 40 hours now, i like the game, the co-op is pretty darn fun, it would be evne more fun if there were more people so match making didn't take forever, as far i'm concerned, having played other metal gear games casually, it isn't like the story is all that far from any other game, also it's a spin off, but i like how it ties itself to the existing canon convincingly, given the universe of metal gear, if you take that as it stands, suspending your disblief and all that, then the scenario is plenty plausible.

bruh that took exageration to a whole new level (And did you seriously put *exhales* into your comment) Also side note: how the fuck are you gonna tell your readers that your rant is supposed to be funny that's like if a comedian put up a sign that said "laugh" whenever he finished a punch line.

deus vult Again that's your choice. I'm not mad because it's a spin off. I didn't freak out about the PSP game or any of that. Think what you want though

So true

The Anti Cancer Lmao

Dapper Changeling you say it like it’s a bad thing

vcom741 angry joe is more likely to jump on the bandwagon

Hmm...interesting. So, what is Yahtzee then? Or any KZfaqr who does this for a living for that matter? All of them are here just for fun? Views don't matter to them?

"Can you not read"? ...I don't see what you mean by this. I would argue Joe also has a good personality.

vcom741 It’s more likely that Yahtzee judges more on gameplay, he did that for Star Wars Battlefront II as well. Skipped over the fandom and micro transactions.

And that's fair. Every reviewer will have different point of view because of different biases. Joe grew up on Star Wars and Metal Gear, so he has nostalgia for this games, and hates them being done badly. Yahtzee on the other hand is always objective, never letting any sort of nostalgia blind him.
