secondhanddog Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 Yahtzee (of Zero Punctuation fame) does a pretty funny let's play of SQ3 with commentary about old adventure games. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyGSNL18SIc Edit: They are rather critical. Also worth checking out the Game Grumps play through of SQ4. MusicallyInspired 1 Quote
MusicallyInspired Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 "I once owned Space Quest IV which I believe to be the absolute worst..." :o "I chose Space Quest III because it was one of the worst..." "...one of the reasons I picked this one was because it is very boring....there's no 'Quest' in it..." :( "Space Quest III is just depressingly dull..." :angry: They spend the rest of the episode comparing them to LucasArts and how they were so much better.

secondhanddog Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Posted January 29, 2014 Being critical of games is really their whole style, however they were negative of many LucasArts games as well (apart from Loom). As someone who loves sq3 the most, I did enjoy the nickpicking. MusicallyInspired 1 Quote
MusicallyInspired Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 Yeah, I'm aware of his shtick. Doesn't mean it's not hard to hear :). I always agreed with most of Yahtzee's reviews. Strange to hear something so grossly different for a change. secondhanddog 1 Quote
Troels Pleimert Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 Added this to my "watch later" list. I can't wait to get red-hot about it. ;) But seriously. I love Yahtzee. I know he loves adventure games and that his shtick, as Brandon says, is to be overly critical of everything. I'm sure, deep down, he loves the game; otherwise, why would he play it in the first place? Quote
Datadog Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 The same thing happens on the Spoony Experiment. The guy seems to act like he absolutely despises Final Fantasy games, yet if you look around his room in some videos, you'll see nothing but FF action figures, posters, and prop weapons. It's always important to take these big name comedy-critics with a grain of salt. They critique because they love. Quote
Troels Pleimert Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 Yes, excellent point. Spoony's playthrough of Phantasmagoria II: A Puzzle of Flesh remains one of my all-time favorite roastings. :) Quote
Irishmile Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 I stopped watching midway, his overly critical shtick is usually funny. But this wasn't making me laugh. Quote
secondhanddog Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Posted February 2, 2014 The game grumps playthrough of SQ4 is a bit more happy. Anyone else have good SQ playthroughs with commentary? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q68uFN1QG70&list=PLRQGRBgN_EnpRohhOqEmyAfoZsecx8pUK Quote
Datadog Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 PawDugan had an SQ3 LP with commentary done sometime last year, and he also did a full playthough of SQ2+. Then there's AmayirotAkago who did a full LP of all six SQ games. Also, PushingUpRoses recently started an SQ Retrospective on her channel. I'd post links, but I'm currently confined to computers that block out YouTube. secondhanddog 1 Quote
Collector Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 By SQ2+ I take it that you meant SQ2VGA. Quote
