Zero Punctuation: Painkiller

[Deleted member 56031]

At the point where yahtzee talks about fun and shows a timeshift poster, I can't tell is timeshift supposed to be fun or not in yahtzee's mind?

 

[Sir Phoenixx]

He said the hordes of monsters in Painkiller is fun, which some FPS developpers (looks at Timeshift) think is beneath them, so Timeshift = not fun to him.

right i couldn't really make it out i thought it was some developer looking at timeshift in disgust at the thought of having fun

besides I thought timeshift was **** so i was surprised if yahtzee did like it :|

 

[Warbie]

I wasn't sure what he meant by "forgot it wasn't System Shock 2" because, whilst I've not played it, I'm led to believe that SS2 is an extremely clever RPG-FPS with lots of depth.

He wasn't suggesting it was on par with SS2, rather that Doom 3 had completely forgetton its roots and was attempting something System Shocky (and failing).

 

[Direwolf]

Yeah, DOOM 3 was a long way from System Shock, but it was also a REALLY long way from a game where you just endlessly blow up demons.

 

[Bad^Hat]

I thought he was just commenting on the setting (ie - dark eerie corridors).

Lol'd. Gotta be one of his best in a while.

on steam websites main page it now has painkiller back up on the main store adverts and says on it:

"Includes guns that shoot shurikens and lightning"

 

[Bad^Hat]

[Tollbooth Willie]

Ran it through a translation website.

I thought Painkiller was pretty awesome and a sweet deal on Steam for a few bucks. Sure, it gets repetitive but it's not a game that you should be playing 20 hours straight.

 

[Blackthorn]

Ah wow they should have Yahtzee's quote on Portal on there as well.

 

[Sabotage]

omg i luv this guy, best reviews ever!

Are you so sure? Maybe I just have good taste.

"good taste" is just another name for that same syndrome.
