It's broken to the have wife, kids, am lazy demographic. I'm sure they liked to hear that.

How so? There are tons of games out there with mini-games that you are forced to do at least once in order to progress further into the game. As someone already mentioned, even Twilight Princess forces you to fish early on in the game too. In fact, I think almost every Zelda game has some point like this.~Kinggi~ said:It sounds like the game requires you to catch the fish?
Sounds damn retarded i must say.

Cant say im a fan of the reviewers attitude toward the situation though. Sounds like he is ranting because he is infuriated.
I think the New York Times blogs are shitty, and you might think Joystiq is, as well. But whining like brats that it isn't "professional" is the most obnoxious thing in the fucking world. Do any of you really want to read AP-styled articles? There's a reason the blog format is so popular. It's professional because it's Joystiq's profession to cater to and entertain its readers, as well as inform them.Gravijah said:Why are people allowed to make fun of the NY times blogs but not joystiq?

With a $60 price tag that is a full $20 more than the PC version, one would expect (demand?) a certain level of polish that Overlord lacks. A patch to fix the bugs may well be on the way, but that doesn't save those without Xbox Live the dread of having the game crap out on them at any moment. And who knows how soon, if at all, the game will be fixed? You may find your investment in time and money flushed down the drain. Without the bugs, this game would have scored in the high 7s, but game ending flaws are unacceptable and have completely soured the otherwise fun time I had with the game. Overlord is a "play at your own risk" title. If you're lucky enough to avoid the bugs, you'll find a fun game unlike any other on Xbox 360. If you do run head first into a game ending bug, don't say we didn't warn you.

(shrug) That's fine. The story might very well be stupid. (He seems to think the fishing part is mandatory, people here are saying it's optional?) But the professionalism thing annoys me greatly. It isn't Joystiq's job to be "professional" in the way many people here seem to think is necessary. If they did so, they would be far less entertaining, and their business would suffer.Gravijah said:Just for the record, I like Joystiq and I read it for what it is. I'm not the kind of person who ridicules video game journalism for the most part, but this story is pretty stupid.

EvaPlusMinus said:Is that so? Guess I'll check up a few reviews and get an idea of wtf this game is all about, then.
Edit: Metacritic says you are lying to me. What's going on here bub.
I am, it's hot. :lolJWong said:I'm only in it for the hermaphrodite.
No, I'm not.
Baloonatic said:Hmm, I just had a pretty good idea. I think that video games should come with little paper booklets that explain these things. In-game tutorials aren't enough for people I guess.
Wait, what's this inside my case for NieR?!
uh huh.EvaPlusMinus said:Because you took it seriously, buddy.
