  • I hate how the auto aim is always on in the xbox version. PC you need to aim.

  • This game cost me about £5 and is easily one of the best games I have ever played

  • it's on sale for 600MS points ritght now.

  • I feel like I wont understand the controls at all >.<

  • @BallKicka007 theyre not difficult whatsoever.

  • The Shrines make the game quite a bit more challenging.

    And oh god, that ending scene when you rescue Zulf...absolutely brilliant use of interactive storytelling.

  • @MrBuDDeeGuY This whole game is amazing.

  • Hm, are the maps randomly generated?

  • @Zambaku no

  • @Zambaku No they are not they just drop down

  • @B00m3er38 bastion

  • 66% off today

  • Take out BF1943. I can't decide between Bastion and Crysis 1.

  • @B00m3r38 Bastion.

  • @B00m3r38 Bastion.

  • @B00m3r38 Bastion

  • Can someone help me? I can't decide between Bastion, Crysis 1, and BF1943.

  • I honestly dont know if I should buy this game today =_=" hmmm

  • 33% off on Steam right now. You might want to wait though. The sale is through Jan. 1st and it might go even lower. You know how Steam is :)

  • its on google chrome store so i thought i would check it out.

  • someone is commenting about COD on a bastion review...give it a break?

  • f******* spoiler-filled

  • are you refering to slingers song? as the one you say we will know when we hear it?

  • @BeaZt28

    I'm fairly certain he is referring to Zia's theme.

  • @TROLLERSDELIGHT after seeing that it won vga i believe so too. dont understand why personally. its just a few chords and a light singing.

  • @BeaZt28

    Good contrast. Less is more. "Honest to goodness" simple type of music. I thought it deserved something :)

  • @TROLLERSDELIGHT dont get me wrong its a great song as well, but then again i have a thing for the electric western style music hence thinking it was slingers song =)

  • @BeaZt28 i personally thought it was spike in a rail in fact that song was soo good it made me drop every other weapon i had jus so i can use carbine (which was the song that plays when ur using it)

  • Gah! What was the Drum and Bass track at the end?!

  • @TROLLERSDELIGHT a song called "Solar" by Noisestorm

  • @nickgoa627

    wicked thank you, nick

  • If this is a "once in a blue moon gem", then how is it only a 9.5? And if it's a 9.5, wtf is a 10?

  • @MyPWNisBlocked

    because only a perfect game gets a 10

    perfection is almost unattainable.

    think of the best game you have ever played, that's 10. think of et the game. thats 1

  • @DJBranden I wish people would stop associating a 10/10 as "perfect". 10/10 should suggest a superb game that's a must play for almost everyone, not that its some demi god among other games that has absolutly no weak points. Perfection doesn't exist and never will. Having a 1-10 scale with it being technically impossible to every get a 10 is fucking ridiculous.

  • @IneedAbttrscreenname

    100% is perfect and 10/10 is 100%

    to lesser it would be to make it disrespectful to good games.

  • @DJBranden How exactly. Do you honestly think a developer is going to have his feelings hurt because a 10/10 game doesn't mean his game was perfect? 100% is simply a measurement of volume or likelyhood. It doesn't suggest perfection in any way. My glass could be 100% full of milk. Does that mean my glass is perfect. 10/10 means instant classic. It DOESN'T mean perfect. Even a 10/10 game like Arkham City has numerous things it can (and even needs) to improve apon.

  • @IneedAbttrscreenname

    no but lets just say one of the best games of all time is given 10/10 and yet another game which is just good gets a 10/10... those 2 games were on totally different levels and should be treated as such.

    7/10 should be good. 4/10 would be ok and 1/10 is bad

  • @DJBranden ever notice how anything under a 7 is considered by the reviewers as crap? but anything at 9 is just barely ok?

  • @zearsocom

    exactly my point, the system has been ruined in that regards.

  • @DJBranden i guess its cuz how competitive of a market it is for example i only have 60$ just enough for one brand new game on release there are two very similar games on the shelf that intrest me. one is saints row and the other is grand theft auto. one got 9.5/10 the other got 9/10 hmm i wonder which one i am gonna get?

    (assuming im an idiot and have never heard of either of these games b4)

  • @zearsocom

    its broke and it needs fixing, this is just a perfect example of why

  • cod is wank get it out of your system

  • Fucking ANNOYING voice

  • man i love the guy doing the review, im sold.

  • @artcc4 are you out of your mind?you wanted more weapons in bastion?

    more than it already have?

    i see no points in this game that must be improoved.

  • Hah it seems like everyone's fallen in love with Zia's song

  • Ok, here's a quick review in case you wanna save 8 minutes of your life. If you're looking for a game with one of the best soundtracks and art design of the last decade, buy this. And if you've already played the trial, trust me it only waaay better later on.

  • SWEEEEET man i try to play it on my computer but it didn't go well. So i'll buy a new pc soon and enjoy the playing of the Bastion

  • have wached 2 other reviews, they say the story sucks, who am i to belive.

  • @Troforso The story is incredible. They suck.

  • What does the size of a team have to do with it? Are you freaking kidding me! Maybe the difference is that most companies have over 2,000 members. And half of those couldn't even make a game as fantastic as Bastion. Imo this game is COMPLETELY comparable to those games. Especially CoD. This game, is so BEYOND Call of Duty it's not even funny. The story, the visuals, the creativeness. Not to mention this was the first game Supergiant ever made.

  • @artcc4 @Simian2D And only complete idiots would neglect that this is being compared to OTHER XBLA games, and not mainstream titles as such. The game is good, from my own opinion. To everyone else's, that's theirs. Stop bitching about each others point of views and get over yourselves.

  • @artcc4 u are a fucking idiot ... that is all

  • whaaat? tards, machinima and IGN go to hell u idiots lol

  • i think the guy that said CoD was being sarcastic.

  • @artcc4 I think you're judging this game against all the big titles out there, but what you need to remember is that is is an indie game created by 6 or 7 people. It's also the company's first game. The gameplay is actually pretty good. I dare you to find one modern Western combat-based game out there that isn't dash'n'smash or run'n'gun. With all that said, I can't make you enjoy the game. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

  • @artcc4 This is going to sound weird, but gameplay isn't the only factor in making a good game. I've noticed that in your comments, you've failed to mention the story which, compared to most games out these days, is excellent. The "annoying" narrator, if you cared to listen, is doing exactly what he's meant to - narrating the story.

  • when did machinima start rating games out of 9.5?

  • @DBvulture somehow Black Ops got a 10

  • @DBvulture when they are that good

  • @artcc4

    Well than tell me what unique weapons to add to the mix.

    There r other stuff too but i don't relay know what defines replay value, sorry.

  • @artcc4 the big thing about this game basically was graphic ,narrator and weapons. this game is a hack&slash. i tough about the weaponry and i cant think of anything unique to add to the mix. you get an turret from portal if you start new game plus and small changes to the narration so there is a bit of playability and the leaderboards help too but you meant it as you don't relay have will to replay the game case there isn't much to gain from that. and thank you for responding i Aprilette it.

  • @artcc4 its Ur opinion so those points r valid but i have to disagree. there where strategies to fight the opponents so i cold survive the weapons where quite different and the combat for me was more like avoid run shoot kill relay intense probably case i worshiped all the idols. for the story part in game history and the narrator witch I loved i never noticed the hints tough. for the falling off kinda agree. i spent over 12 hours on the game. but Ur right about coop that be nice. leaderboards

  • @artcc4 why?

  • great game. got it from steam for pc

  • shitty review showing video footage yawn

  • Bastion= simple, and yet amazing/fantastic/unbelievable­. We Want, no no no, WE NEED BASTION 2 ^^ plz

  • I WANT BASTION 2 NOW.

    Sorry for the caps. :D

  • That game has an amazing art style...talented voice actors. Story's simple and catchy.

    At one point I stopped concentrating on killing monsters...and I was machinely slicing them apart while listening to the Narrator.

    Also the soundtrack is just amazing. Beautiful.

    I had chills the entire game.

    Thanks Warner Bros.

  • The Witcher 2 had the same difficulty curve.

  • @Modernwarrior12 ah dude, Witcher 2 is a hardcore RPG TPS game w/ huge stuff in it. THIS game is just an indie game. Comparing those game to indie game is foolish. You should compare this game to other indie games. At that this game is imo at the top right now next to what this guy said...shadow complex, limbo, etc.

  • @mindsoulbody

    i never said that there was anything wrong with the game or difficulty. I was just saying that the witcher 2 was also a great game and shared that characteristic, in fact the difficulty scaling may indeed even be better with the shrines that Bastion incorporated. The game gets easier as your character gets stronger, and you learn how to use your weapons better at the training ground. This is a great way to show progression in a game while also having a way to tune the difficulty.

  • @yersimapestis

    check out the japanese Zwei Series

    especially Zwei 2 which was release in 2008

  • Waiting 7PM to unlock on steam XD

  • Hm... Seems like I'll be having a blast in about 5 hours ;)

  • Anyone know how long this game is? How long would I, I completionist who wants to fully enjoy and 100% a game, play it?

  • "the kid" should be in the next super smash bros. :D

  • So they found basically found 1 thing that was wrong with the game and that was the odd difficulty curve and they knock 5 points off the score for it? right... That is one of the reasons why I dislike adding scores to a review.

  • Bastion and from dust are next on my list

  • @Slyvall metal gear solid 4 got a ten

  • if once in a blue moon is a 9.5 what the fuck is a 10

  • @Sylvall once in a pink moon ? :-)

  • awesome review. I fucked myself over though while playing this game. I bought it when i was really sick, and now when I go back to play it, my mind tricks me into feeling like i did when i first played it so i have bitter feelings while playing it.

  • Will definitely be buying the PC version when it's released.

  • @TheChickenDeity well if you waiting for a universal PC release you got quite a wait as WB who is handling the PC release have not announced when the game will hit digital outlets outside of Steam. If not the game hits Tuesday on Steam for 14.99(same price as the XBLA release) which is good as I don't have that long to wait(pre-ordered it yesterday)

  • Japanese rpg styled game...

  • @j6331 Are you fucking kidding me?

  • Was sitting on the fence about getting this game. After watching this review i will get this beatiful jewel of a game.

  • He failed to mention that you can actually fix the difficulty curve yourself with the shrine. You can make the game as difficult as you want. They included that for a reason.

  • I think I may buy and xbox 360 just for this...

  • This is the only game to have been worth the points awesome game

  • End soundtrack name??

  • @AngryFrog192 Noisestorm - Solar

  • the narrator sounds like max payne

  • I've beaten this game... have to say.... great game..

  • I give it a 11...... out of 5.

  • @fredfredfredburger44 that low? pfft cod fanboy

    jks

  • @runnergunner42 lolz

  • Hannah Minx at 7:41! :O

  • Is it possible for people to go one second without mentioning Call of Duty? My god, every video review has a fucking comment about that shit.

  • @Joeyg143 Well this is machinima, douchebag central.

  • @Joeyg143 call of duty

  • @Joeyg143 Call of What?

  • @Joeyg143

    It's because Call of Duty is the Justin Bieber of video games. Generic and sells too much.

  • @Joeyg143 Thats because its the best game in the world, factually there is no game better

  • @WastelandGaming

    There is if you're not a fanboy.

  • @Joeyg143

    call of duty is the name of all first person shooters everywhere, learn to accept people using it that way, but dont use it that was yourself

  • I'm loving this game. I'm about three fourths of the way through the game plus mode. I recommend activating all of the idols within the shrine as soon as they're available. As the reviewer stated, the game can be rather easy; but by activating idols, it is much more challenging and rewarding.

  • does anyone know how long the game is? i was on the edge of buying it and im SERIOUSLY bored. or should i just wait and see how "From Dust" is?

  • @AxTROUSRxMISSLE how about getting both, since they're both AAA

  • @inegflotma If Korea was in the USA, then I would agree with you.

  • Damn it easy? I want super hard mode!!

  • @Thet3 You can make the game a lot harder by turning on Idols which can give you xp/money bonuses, the reviewer complained about the odd difficulty curve but the game doesn't really have one, it is you that chooses how hard the game is throughout your playthrough. Think of it as turning on skulls in Halo.

  • also 7:42 boobs.

  • DAAAAMN IT THEY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORGAN FREEMAN TO NARRATE!

  • every review this guy makes starts out just like freaking IGN"s or gamespot's reviews.

  • this makes me proud to own an XBOX:)

  • This Review was:

    + Fancy Adjective.

    + Synonym of fancy adjective.

    - Ambiguous nitpick.... namely: No, Billy Shibley, we will never forget that you gave Black Ops a fucking 10/10.

  • @GrizzlerBorno Billy didn't review Black Ops dumb ass

  • @GrizzlerBorno I agree, shibley, you aren't as bad as the modern wartards but dude, you rated COD better than this. For that you need to die in a hole.

  • anyone got a link to the bastion OST? I cant find it anywhere.

  • you know reviewers like this you cant trust at all, they dont pay a cent for the game, they just get it in the mail,

    of course youll give it a high praise, you didnt pay anything for it, it costs 15 bucks to regular people, for which you could buy 3 full games on steam instead

  • This game is incredible. I was actually laughing with joy at how well made and fun it is. Trust me, watching someone play it doesn't do it justice. Go buy the game, you won't regret it.

  • Great review, though some minor spoilers got in the way of my attention

  • COD:BO got 10/10 wow lol that's classic.

  • Looks like fun. I think I'll buy Bastion for the narration alone. lol I just hope those Idols offer enough challenge.

  • 9.5/10?! 'You bloody serious?! And Codblobs gets a 10/10?!?!? A 10 OUT OF 10???? Machinima, what the actual fuck.

  • LOL it looks like 3d maplestory

  • i don't think anyone's gonna forgive rob for giving black ops a perfect score

  • This game gives you fucking eargasms!

  • it looks great i think im convinced!

  • I would definitely buy this if it were out for PS3 or PC

  • Subsribe to our newly build community channel so that we can start uploading the best videos avaible on youtube!

  • He is back. His new channel is "JayEx23". :)

  • holy crap you can give it a full 10, we're not gona complain lol

  • He didn't mention anything about the length of the game.

  • This review made me get Bastion. Seriously, if you have not bought the game yet, pull out the credit card and buy it. NOW. It is amazing.

  • sweeet

  • i want this game so bad

  • @KingKoreSpeedcore It's good to be cautious especially about this stuff. Hopefully this gem does shine though especially since it's Xbox exclusive. (cries over PS3 but is still happy the game exists)

  • Nice.....but they gave Black ops a 10/10

    So way didn't this game get 15 out of 10?

  • @BladeStrikes Machinima gave Black Ops a 10/10? I don't know what to think of that reviewer anymore.

  • @HenryKrinkle666 no they gave it a 9/10

  • @TheSP1TF1R3 I just checked: he gave it a 10.

  • @HenryKrinkle666 Just look for Machinima Black ops review and you will find the video.

  • @BladeStrikes

    Seriously? Black ops was a 8 at best.

  • @Deathlock257 I say'ed machinima gave it a 10....not me

  • @BladeStrikes 10 is the maximum.

  • @Yoni123 .--.

  • @BladeStrikes well they were different reviewers. and the one who reviewed black ops is fucking retarded. its not a 10 out of 10 its much lower.

  • @TheBennyisCool I think its the same person.....or maby im wrong

  • @BladeStrikes becuz it's not as popular or make as much money on consoles..

  • the narrator sounds like jim raynor

  • @kaine180 I thought he sounded like Drebin from MGS4.

  • @kaine180 NO

  • @kaine180 i think it was dont quote me on this though :P

  • Definitely picking this one up.

  • @DarkAce98765 Yea I suppose I haven't taken that into account.

    It's a shame that games have become little more than business deals..

  • It would be awesome if someone could tell me what that DnB/Liquid track at the end was :)? (Game seems nice btw ^^)

  • Is it a game or a story?

  • @BIGBROTHERXXII game duh

  • i can imagine this coming to pc quite quickly. so i think ill just get it on that

  • Oh no difficulty! How will I ever cope!.

  • @thesorrow777 Actually he complained more that it was easy. He said it was odd that it started out harder at the beginning and then gets to easy once you level. That's why he liked the relics, because he could turn them on to make it harder...

  • @thesorrow777 He said it gets to easy. Which is kinda annoying. A lot more annoying than it being to hard.

  • phenomenal review billy. informative a very useful! i plan on making a purchase for this game very soon. Thanks! :)

  • will this be on pc? i want it

  • @gamifierz it is
