I would agree with the difficulty curve in SoTN, even though it never really bothered me.
As for Yahtzee's reviews, I never really liked them. The humor never appealed to me, and some of his points can seem pretty biased or badly constructed like the free roaming thing mentioned in the LoS reviews. A better criticism would be explaining why the stage-by-stage approach is actually detrimental to LoS's gameplay design. Thankfully, Yahtzee makes up for his bad reviews with some pretty decent games.

Yeah it's pretty awesome :) . Found it on Danbooru while looking for Castlevania fanart.

I found some pretty nice CV pics, but I'm too lazy to start a new topic :D

You should add the NSFW warning on Danbooru. it, like Gelbooru, is VERY NSFW
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

Cheers a bundle whoever posted this... after watching the SOTN review I immediately proceeded to waste about an hour tittering myself into a hernia at the rest of Yahtzee's reviews. Hi-larious stuff. He does seem to be the games reviewers version of British film critic Mark Kermode - albeit a lot more sweary and a hell of a lot more curmudgeonly - and faster-talking.
If a man chooses, and a slave obeys, then what are you if you choose to obey?

Yahtzee is a smelly unshaven twat.


Actually, his reviews aren't bad, it's just that after you've seen a few they lose their charm. At least for me.

maybe you. I still find them funny.

Thing is, you shouldnt actually take him that seriously. He often brings up good points, but in an exaggerated fashion.
yknow, like Michael Moore.
