That was one of the more hilarious ones in recent memory.

ANd him saying it's better than Wolfenstein isn't saying much. He really hated that game if I recall.

He especially ripped apart the plot twist, and I agree. How the fuck does saving one man makes the Communists rule the entire world?

well, I'm not sure that was what he was ripping at. He was more ripping at the fact that it's presented as this big plot twist late in the game, when it's entirely obvious thirty minutes into a game.

Saving one person could theoretically change all of history, I think.

Oh, right. Heh, my head's a little scrambled today, so you'll have to point out anything I may have misunderstood or messed up.

Just because I'm grounded doesn't mean I can't post this week's review!

Now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder if the Yahtzee phenomenon should be sent to the RP forum so everyone else can enjoy it.

Heh. This was a pretty hilarious one.

I wouldn't be against the idea of having a Yahtzee topic over there.

I thought Crackdown 2 was going to be different to be honest: now I just hate the entire franchise as a whole. Fuck you, Ruffian Games.

Awesome. Should it be in the video game discussion thread?

I'd never even heard of the franchise.

ANd yeah, that'd be where it goes.

Crackdown 1 was awesome. No horrible sequel can change my mind on that.

Crackdown 1 was a mixed bag for me. It was fun, but I got frustrated with the controls. If I wasn't laughing my ass off when my character took cover near some explosive barrels only for those to get blown up with a rocket launcher, then I was getting pissed off when my character decided to run forward when the path was filled with heavy gunfire instead of taking cover near the fucking wall.

Hmm, I don't remember having any problems with movement. I honestly thought the characters controlled really well. The biggest problem I had was with the aiming system which would lock onto everything except the target I was trying to shoot, but even that really wasn't that big of an issue in the long run.

Maybe the Xbox controllers hate me. If that's the case, then the hate's mutual. The aiming system was also a problem, but I just kill the person they want me to kill first while trying to dance around bullets, missiles, and grenades before I killed everyone else.
