"The place is eager to use Gunners and other enemies that lockdown the field, or stun you, or force you to move in a certain way. So you get some frustrating layouts for sure, and in Battle Network 2 or something, this would be disastrous. But this is Battle Network 6: Crosses are free, chips are stupidly powerful, the Navicust allows for more upgrades than ever before, and you still have Beast Out if you really need it. I'm enjoying the game, messing around with all of the options available for combat keeps things from becoming a redundant chore, but Mega Man has so many attacks and abilities that you're never really in danger of dying unless you start really screwing around or playing recklessly. Except for the post-game stuff, obviously, but that's for another video."
"Have you seen Wolverine? Dude, you press three buttons and you accidentally kill somebody."

, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 rant"The phrase 'Baby's First XCOM" might leap to mind at this point, and that's fairly apt: Combat is certainly a fuckload easier when my team essentially gets to have a free go before the round even starts, possibly after having run crying to mum and dad."
"Combat is a repetitive affair, with limitless quantities of Fallout-brand zombies whose AI just about permits them to move towards you and then slide back and forth like a frozen hotdog on the floor of a moving bus… Rather than have the chance to strategically plot your next few actions, the V.A.T.S. is now a cheat system for people who can just about summon the effort to vaguely point at the enemy but can't be bothered to finish the job. 'Hey, I let other people work the fine details out. I'm the ideas gunman!'"

"Although I scraped through the first game with the lowest grades, I was a solid B student this time: silver medals across the board, so either it's eased off a bit or all those hours clocked in with Dark Souls have paid off. "

"You ask of us our willingness to get another bow and arrow, fight another boss with a giant glowing eyeball — gee, I wonder how to fucking beat it! I fucking WONDER, Skyward Sword!! — you ask of us to get a cat from the top of a roof and carry him over to some guy who says 'thank you'! The Adventures of Link: Cat Delivery Man! Is that your title?! What's the tagline in the ads?! 'Cat's Outta the Bag! And Onto the Roof™!' 10 OUTTA 10!!"''
Yahtzee: Well, let's see if we can find a good case in point. See all these guys? (multiple splatterings by crossbow bolts) They're all dead.
Gabriel: (dizzy) What— What just happened??
Yahtzee: Well, part of the new mechanics they introduced in Brotherhood was that you train up street kids into master assassins, and I've already done that. Target someone, press one button, and your murder child will just kill his ass—instantly. If you've got all 3, you can hold down the button and (as we've just saw) it unleashes a storm of arrows and kills them all. And doesn't this kinda subtract all the fun challenge of things? Don't you agree— (splat) —Mister Guard?
