Merivel Mar	Posted - 2010.01.29 01:48:00 - [1] yes I also read that some website made EVE online game of the year. Now here is an accurate unbiased review of EVE online http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/208-Eve-Online I think EVE advertises their game there too which is a hoot! :)
Captain Mastiff	Posted - 2010.01.29 02:15:00 - [2] Wasn't really a review, more of a bash. Though he does pick on a good few points about what is negative over Eve. Though it just sounded like he can't be arsed as do all his other reviews, or that he thinks that approach is funny/cool.
Samal Aran	Posted - 2010.01.29 02:17:00 - [3] First off that was a very funny review, one of his best. Second, all his reviews make fun of games, its the draw to his reviews. The "unbiased" part is flawed however because he refused to join a corporation and only played for one week.Eve is a player interaction dependent game to be any good. One Week...this is NOT enough time to accurately play any MMO and give it a "unbiased true review".
Boomershoot Caldari Suddenly Ninjas	Posted - 2010.01.29 02:19:00 - [4] If you aren't able to take whatever Yatzhee says in the reviews with a ton of salt you won't understand why he's so ****ing cool. On the other hand, that man saved me hundreds of bucks in games
Virgil Travis Gallente	Posted - 2010.01.29 02:22:00 - [5] He got the eyestrain bit right though
NyteTyger Gallente NiteSun Enterprises	Posted - 2010.01.29 02:50:00 - [6] Seen that, still hilarious __________________________________________ It's a do or die universe, so you better damn well choose between one or the other.

And when it was made, Eve had pritty many adds on EscapistMagazine And - Originally by: Samal Aran First off that was a very funny review, one of his best. Second, all his reviews make fun of games, its the draw to his reviews. Yahtzee does not make fun of every game he reviws... He've slaughtered most of them. Portal from The Orange Box got a good review. -and some old game I can't remember, which you only could play on a Gameboy as the Worlds greatest game ever created. But back to the slaughtering, if you take any game, look hard at it's core, what make that game unique, what apart that game for all the other, done beenfore. You'll too see that mostly all games are the same. What Yahtzee does, is what all thoes other crappy gamereviews don't dare do, telling the truth. Start here and see all of them, you see what I mean. ------------ Dozar Klingz I smoke.... It's not easy to be green when you're small. But it's worse to be a cowered when you're big. Smokers are also humens... but not that long...
Nooma K'Larr Minmatar Cat's Cradle	Posted - 2010.01.29 03:23:00 - [8] Honest assessment: EVE in concept is a great game, however the production of EVE is substandard. Patches that break things is a new concept to me. For the apologist out there, they will always fall back on the "complexity" of the game. Here's a news flash: most all things in life are complex, yet we expect them to work properly. There is this little thing taught in "Programming 101" called TESTING AND DEBUGGING that the CCP programming teams seems to overlook. There is also a blatant disregard for the myriad of computer systems players have and how any major change in EVE hardware requirements affect the end user. Case in-point, eliminating the MEDIUM SHADER which has become a sore point with me and many other players. Yet CCP claims that they know "it" was not used that often. So is the shader client based or server based? How do they know it wasn't used that often? Or was it just an excuse to shrink their code. So why continue with EVE you may ask. Because in spite of all their faults, it is the only decent space based MMO out in the real universe. CCP's indifference to their customer base will continue this way because EVE really has no viable competition. Once competition surfaces, and membership declines, then and only then will CCP produce a superior product and listen to its customer base. ___________________________________________________ CSM - Bring back Medium Shader!
Cyprus Black Caldari Perkone	Posted - 2010.01.29 03:36:00 - [9] Woah watch out guys! We're experiencing a time warp back to 2008! Hang on to something!!!! ___________________________________ "In the land of predators, the lion does not fear the jackal." -Dexter
Reem Fairchild Minmatar Military Research and Manufacturing Corp.	Posted - 2010.01.29 03:45:00 - [10] Wow, this guy is a total idiot. ----- 'In Eve, as in real life, if you are bored it's your own fault.'

Jin Nib Resplendent Knives	Posted - 2010.01.29 03:48:00 - [11] Yatzee is pretty damn funny, but he is anything but "unbiased" lol. -Jin Nib Trading on behalf of Opera Noir since: 2009.03.02 03:53:00

QFMT I was annoyed to find the link is a video review because I don't care what the reviewer looks like or sounds like, I'd like to have known what his review was, accurate, funny etc but alas I can't be bothered to watch and listen at his pace I've got too much crap to read about EVE so I can have fun.

Culmen Caldari Macabre Votum Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2010.01.29 04:51:00 - [14] Does anyone else find it hilarious that all the ships were flying backwards? Shows how much he played. and further more why do i even need a sig?

I find that hard to believe with the utter crap that's coming out of your mouth. And btw, until you've been doing it in the real world and not reading books for over 10 years, you're not qualified to say **** on the subject. You know how many applicants I circular file after interviewing them for programming positions that have degrees in computer science? 80% of them because they have no clue of what they're doing outside the classroom.

I posted an opinion. I'm sorry you have no life outside of EvE and cant stand a little criticism of your ***. Edit: My server question was rhetorical, and there is a BIG difference between a degree in Computer Science and one in Programming & Systems Analysis. Do you even know what systems analysis is? ___________________________________________________ CSM - Bring back Medium Shader!

Dyphorus	Posted - 2010.01.29 05:07:00 - [21] That should be EVE's advertisement. It was hilarious. Having seen it, and not already being a subscriber, I would have had to try the game out.
Cambarus The Compass Reloaded	Posted - 2010.01.29 05:10:00 - [22] Originally by: Culmen Does anyone else find it hilarious that all the ships were flying backwards? Shows how much he played. IIRC that review featured a bestower and a domi duking it out, the bestower won, and both ships flew backwards. These are usually pretty good signs that the person who made the video didn't play eve for very long. It was a funny review, but all of his vids are made to be funny, and not made to be taken seriously. If I took his reviews seriously I'd most like be wondering how someone can get a job relating to video games when he clearly hates them so much. That being said, for anyone who insists on taking his reviews seriously: He refused to join a corp. He mocks people for saying it's not like other MMOs, claiming that it's exactly the same. He then goes on to complain about the very things that separate eve from other MMOs. He complains about how he doesn't understand the difference/uses of skills, when every skill tells you exactly what it does in the description. He seems to think corporations aren't eve's equivalent of guilds/clans, but rather ACTUAL corporations. I'm sure there's more, but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter because the zero punctuation reviews are not meant to be taken seriously, it's just meant to be funny \o/
