It’s Wednesday and that can only mean one thing: Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw is going to talk very fast and be very funny while doing it. The latest Zero Punctuation up over at The Escapist tackles the hottest gaming subject around this fine spring, Grand Theft Auto 4. Yahtzee does indeed enjoy the game quite a bit but takes issue with the one aspect of the game that I’ve taken the most joy out of so far. He calls the friendship/dating sim mechanics in the game “an irritating, mindless chore” but, as I’ve said a number of times, I’ve found it to be the most immersive and engaging aspect of Rockstar’s magnum opus. Than again, I’M VERY LONELY! Nah, not really. He also finds the game’s realistic presentation irksome, an issue I’ll be tackling in the upcoming second part of my review. Regardless, the man’s criticisms are well-thought out and entertaining as hell so hit the jump for the goods and then head on over to the Escapist to indulge in the ever expanding Zero Punctuation archive as well as that pub’s other great content.
