I was wondering, now that Kerbal Space Program is out, I wonder if he will ever review it? I figured no due to the lack of story, but then again he did review Minecraft.

Oh yahtzee19 you magnifiscent Game Journalist, you! Great format overall but this video just knocked it out of the park for me. Your metaphors are witty and hilarious :) I want you to stay at the Escapist forever and keep doing what you love and care about. Thanks!

Finnish Person You are not. Actually, after watching one of these videos I usually end up reading EVERYTHING in the manner that Yahtzee uses. And writing some of them too...almost failed a language arts assignment because I forgot to use punctuation.
"Welcome to Zero Punctuation, where Yahtzee's tastes are so refined, Super Smash Bros. is just "meh" on his absolute best days!" And no, I'd rather not imagine intercourse between a mosquito and a whale, thanks...
"Magical resurrection" was always part of the Mortal Kombat franchise. Hell, "noone really dies in Mortal Kombat" was something I remember hearing back during the PS2-days in one of those video packages that you unlocked in the krypt! Oh, and remember Scorpion, you know, the posterboy of the franchise? Yeah resurrection is sorta his gimmick. And that's dating back to the original mortal kombat. Obviously I get the point, but let's not pretend like they're ever going to allow characters to legit die in the storymode of a fighting game unless it's a character that noone liked to begin with.
Next, shooters that offer bullets that aim and fire themselves? Thanks, now I have something to look forward too from future EA and DICE games Owait, consoles already do that with aim-assist. HEH
this is why i am waiting to buy MKX, cause they are just gonna re release it as a complete edition again, like they did with MK9 and also injustice before it, so i dont see another why i should get all the DLC, when the game will just come out around christimas time with all the add ons on the game itself.
Got the Komplete edition for $7.50 last year and I'm buried with so many other games to play. Time to sit back and get the Komplete edition when it drops to $5.
exactly, i dont see why people would buy a game knowing full well it will be re released with all the add ons, like i bought injustice last year with everything on it
chris nickel People buy the game because they want to play it from the beginning to be able to compete.There's people who buy these games for more than 6 hours of stories and a few rounds of arcade.
I'm thankful for Netherrealm because fighting games have seriously lacked single player content for people like me who have no friends but they have finally given us a story mode! Hopefully other fighting games follow suit.
While MKX is flawed, I really think There's not a lot to review for Yahtzee here because he tends to fall to that category of gamers who simply think that the only way to play these games is button mashing. It's not hard to dislike a game when you're not even trying to adapt to the gameplay.
Ps Jukkis SATIRE sat·ire ˈsaˌtī(ə)r/ noun the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
to be fair, mortal kombat has always had random ressurections- in the original canon, johnny cage died shortly before mk3 and by deadly alliance he had been resurrected. somehow. so complaining about that particular plot point as if it's a new thing is kinda moot because it really isn't a moot point hell, the whole thing about sindel is she was dead for centuries and got ressurected before mk3
Why do people think every fighting game out there is a button masher? I can't speak for this game cause I have never played it, but they aren't all button mashers. Anybody who has played in a serious fighting game tournament can tell you that.
TheGameMerchant Dude, all MK has ever been is a button basher. The only ones who havent been button bashers is like street fighter, 2 or 3 characters in Skullgirls, and KoF. Though I define button basher as in you can just press the xxx and the yyy and you've done a combo.
Brady's RUclips of things 2 or 3 characters in Skullgirls? No, the entirety of the roster of Skullgirls is very in-depth and is built for hardcore 2d fighters. Skullgirls is practically BUILT for tournaments, there is not a single character that is a "button basher", unless by your definition two jabs counts as a combo. There are few "button basher" fighting games out there and all the ones that are "button bashers" are awful games.
Yahtzee's intro is, for some weird reason, the only thing on youtube my tablet can't handle. As soon as I get excited and my adrenaline pumping for another AMAZING video with Mr.Croshaw, my dreams are immediatly crushed by an intro screeching to a halt right before the musical climx...I can't be the only one with this (though rather specific and stupid) problem.
Hi There Seeing that Netherrealm Studios has recently added the Predator to Mortal Kombat-X, it would be interesting to see the following characters added as well with their different versions: Alien Xenomorph (Xenomorph, Alien Queen & Predator Alien) He-Man (Adam, Normal He-Man & He-Man with his silver armour including the axe and the shield) Hordak (Normal Hordak, Black and grey version of Hordak & Hordak in Horde Trooper Commander Armor) Lion-O (Young Lion-O, Normal Lion-O & Battle Armour Lion-O from the 2011 cartoon) Mumm-Ra (Wahankh version before transforming into Mumm-Ra, Normal Mumm-Ra & Red version of Lion-O which in actual fact is also Mumm-Ra. [Red version comes from the 1985 Thundercats episode fond memories]) She-Ra (Adora, Normal She-Ra & She-Ra Armour version) Skeletor (Keldor version of Skeletor, Normal Skeletor & Battle armour Skeletor) The Terminator (Variations should include - T-800, T-1000 & T-X) Regards Gerann
Isn't COD coming very close to the insert money here to win approach, with auto aiming bullets. You don't actually have to aim, just snap in and out of sights. You don't even have to accurately arch a grenade anymore, it does it for you now. Whats there left to do in FPS games other than walk in the right direction.
fartzinwind in MMS (Modern Multiplayer Shooter) games, well, just walking is all that is left, your right there...except you cant even walk in the wrong direction anymore due to the one way corridor levels, invisible walls, the voice in yer head telling you were to go at all times, and the big "follow me" above the head of an immortal, AI Controlled NPC who is always just so much more badass than you are. Proper FPS (ie Wolfenstein: The Old Blood..best damn Add on Pack i have played since Spear Of Destiny...yeah! that long ago!...) still has some Teeth, but, proper FPS games are pretty rare these days!
I always need to watch these 3 or 4 times. 1 - Watch it and laugh, 2 - Watch for the jokes I missed the first time. 3. Watch for the jokes I missed the first 2 times because I was laughing too hard, 4 - Watch again, because fuck it, it's still funny. 5 - A Two-Cunt System: There must be a use for this in real life.
0:45 sounds like Soul Calibur. And Street Fighter. And Smash. And Final Fantasy 7 Remake. And Resident Evil 2/3 Remake. And DC Comics. And Marvel Comics. And Bioshock Infinite.
Mortal Kombat X seriously makes me want to grind my eyes out. I was reading my book and I would look up every 4 minutes and tell my boyfriend what would happen next in the story. I wasn't even playing the game. Nor had I youtubed any of the gameplay. It was waaaaay to easy to figure out what was going to happen next.
Well yeah, story modes in fighting games are pretty arbitrary so it's not like anyone goes into it expecting Shakespearian levels of writing. They could surely do better from a narrative perspective but I think the story mode exists more to "humanise" the characters than for any actual storytelling purpose, and for that reason I hope they never get removed all together. Besides that, it does lead to some funny situations as Yahtzee mentioned. My favourite was in Dead Or Alive 2 where upon completing story mode as a character who has amnesia he gets his memory back and immediately celebrates, leaping into the wind overjoyed and proudly exclaiming to be a free soul and somehow completely forgetting the fact that less than 5 minutes ago he beat his sister to death because he didn't recognise her. It kind of completely invalidates his own story arc and I was amazed they actually wrote it like this and didn't find it a bit funny at the time.
just an FYI in regards to the story (spoilers): they DID have magical resurrection bullshit by restoring quan chi's revenants.....then scorpion fucks it up halfway through the game by killing quan chi, thus making it impossible to resurrect any of the others, so now those characters are now evil and dead forever
Forever a Yahtzee fan, but forever a MK fan as well. I think MKX is the smoothest playing best entry into the series in a long, loooonnngg, time. Spamming is the biggest problem I've had, otherwise I actually really liked the story telling, love the krypt, and all the truckload of content in what could have been a much less meaty fighting game. I think it's pretty good.
InfiniteIdeas You may be right with Kung Lao, but he's got 3 variants now and I just don't know him as well as you might (I main Erron Black). Personally, I found MK9 to feel much more rigid and clunky during fights. MKX feels much more fluid and allows for smooth transitions to combos :p. I'd play you on X1, but you'll probably destroy me right now.
BlackHairedGoo n Holy fuck, calm down, bud. I'm just commenting on something I found. Do you tell everyone who points out something to kill themselves? Also, considering one of the people who replied doesn't get the reference, I wouldn't say "everyone else" got it. For the record, it's a play on words of Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
I remember when I banged my little drum 3 times and used a sausage poke on my opponent, I still have nightmares and am seeing a therapist about it to this day.
"grind them into the dirt" sound like fun even if a little kinky and pervy (: keep on grinding, but don't get caught and be sent to jail for years and years
The funny thing is, MK9 is seen as a reboot, but the interesting thing is, it has the part with Armageddon at the start, so basically, it isn't a reboot to me, it's a sequal to Armageddon. (Or a remix of the first three games like MKAK.)
Its a sequel and a reboot as it does follow up on Armageddon but it also resets everything so they can be told a different way, except not really. Oh no, Sub-Zero is a robot now!? Nope, just for one game then Quan-Chi throws him a bone and turns him human again, but we can't have that for Jax who has robotic arms? Does he hate technology or not?
"Idiot plot" - I can't help but think of Dragon Age 2. The entire plot revolved around no one realizing that an entire metropolis was basically the house from Poltergeist. In fact, the only way the player can find out something is amiss is to collect random scraps of paper over 10 years and piece it together.
I hope Yahtzee will review the second half of broken age next week (I mean on escapist, for next week on youtube we will be getting a GTAV online review)
I'm surprised you didn't bring up how Sonya revived her boyfriend by kicking the necromancer in the balls.
Repeatedly.
Hey, it worked for Princess Leia.
Really they didn’t need time travel to save everyone when they could’ve just raptured Quan-Chi’s nuts
@@brainflash1 hey, no spoilers for Star Wars episode 9!!
"Because when I talk to my friend who's into fighting games in his brief moments of lucidity between medication trials he says your fighting games are pretty good" So now we know what Gabriel does when he isn't doing Lets Drown Out.
Not like it's a big secret though. Lol.
He's watching New Who and playing MK at the same time
This explains a lot
Everett Guenther I love it when yahtzee talks about a friend and i can tell if its gabriel or not
ouch, that one hit me hard...
"One infraction; snapped in half. Two infractions; take the mobile away."
amazing
One more. Then I'll start my essay due for tomorrow.
+PonzooonTheGreat 147 later... "One more. Then I'll start my essay due 4 hours ago."
+Erick Hoch one more then I'll start my essay due for 1 month ago
+PonzooonTheGreat Don't worry I'm a teacher and I should really start preparing the courses I will teach tomorrow :)
Djorgal Just show them episodes of ZP instead of teaching them.
😭
Gabe is that friend into fighting games I presume?
He is more than that...
Anto Bigdick I personally felt smug when I knew who he was talking about. Almost like I'm part of Yahtzee's inner circle, despite his constant attempts to shake the lice out of that rug.
"1 infraction, snapped in half, 2 infractions, take the mobile away"
I see that you too watched the video...
Still more positive than the AngryJoe review.
Kubloo Or MacksCorner... lul
Good troll
Wait, what? Have you really watched whole AJ review?
Lemur Dawid nah he trolling
***** gtfo
This counts as a Gabriel cameo, right?
It is probably the best we will ever get
When I think of Yahtzee I always want to think of him like this. Much like hearing a voice actor and imagining their character.
"My story by Netherrealm Age 2"
XD Jesus the animations just make this shit my favorite.
1:43 The4thSnake: He's got a point!
I was wondering, now that Kerbal Space Program is out, I wonder if he will ever review it? I figured no due to the lack of story, but then again he did review Minecraft.
Jake Beadle
I'd love that!
Jake Beadle DO IT PLEASE!!!
Jacob Arnold Space Engineers isn't even out of Alpha..
Never said it isn't fun
Jake Beadle Chances are, if/when he does play it, it'll be during the inevitable summer games drought.
Rule of thumb with Zero Punctuation: If Yahtzee looks directly into the camera, you're about to hear an awesome line.
I just fucking love how the gun sprites look like they were made in PMG.
You can also further the school sports analogy in that only one team will ever win.
Why wouldn't Lin Kuei win? Who would they be beat by? Kano's team?
***** HOW!!!!
Actually yes, as of now, my precious Black Dragon Clan is in the lead
***** it would be nice to see them out of last place for once, maybe even 2nd place (behind Black Dragon of course)
***** god I hope so, what, no one wants to defend earth-realm? cant trust those ninjas and elder gods team to do everything. After all, they may have stealth and magical powers, but we have tactical lasers from space and combat drones, and huge freaking guns! (oh and the entirety of the US army apparently)

lol, yea Ive noticed that, Im level 42 SF myself
Oh yahtzee19 you magnifiscent Game Journalist, you! Great format overall but this video just knocked it out of the park for me. Your metaphors are witty and hilarious :)
I want you to stay at the Escapist forever and keep doing what you love and care about. Thanks!
_One infraction: snaps in half_

Genius! How does he come up with those things?
Mostly with a combination of misanthropy and sleep deprivation.
'She probably had to tear them out of his balls, and then they tunnelled into her with miniature hooks.'
I want to frame this sentence and put it on my wall. XD
Girlfriend comes over: "What the fuck is *that*?"
"Oh, I'd just love to have kids myself one day."
No matter how many years go by Yahtzee, your stuff never gets old! Keep up the great work!
Loved the review simply for having the first Merovingian joke I've seen in a gaming review.
After watching one of these, am i the only one who starts reading comments in the same manner as Yahtzee is talking in his ZP videos?
Yes, and you should be very ashamed.
Finnish Person It's more because everyone else wants to make comments that sound like he's saying it.
Argeine Thriton I don't know that it is always intentional, I sometimes find myself doing it on accident if I have been binge watching old episodes for too long.
ArbitraryDoom The Yahtzee effect.
Finnish Person You are not. Actually, after watching one of these videos I usually end up reading EVERYTHING in the manner that Yahtzee uses.
And writing some of them too...almost failed a language arts assignment because I forgot to use punctuation.
"Welcome to Zero Punctuation, where Yahtzee's tastes are so refined, Super Smash Bros. is just "meh" on his absolute best days!"
And no, I'd rather not imagine intercourse between a mosquito and a whale, thanks...
Granted actually seeing the smash ultimate review, I think that yahtzee's points in that video do somewhat hold up.

Owait, consoles already do that with aim-assist. HEH
Yeah, but they are still free. Next time you'll have to pay before starting the battle, or wait 1 hour between battle and battle.
Wasn't there a pistol in titan fall that basically does that?
Woo Nam I guess it makes sense for consoles, where it's not as competitive.
Woo Nam Guess what? Aim assist is optional. HEH
***** And guess what WHAT? Keyboard and mouse still has a learning curve as steep as Niagara Falls. And I've been PC gaming for nearly five years now.
This is honestly the best Zero Punctuation I have seen.
Loved the first Mortal Kombat game I played in the 90's, when I was 12 years old. Grew out of them around the age of 14 though.
Yahtzee u just made my day man. Thank u so much.
I already forgot the hospital I just came out... ;) cheers!
Was waiting for this. Didn't disappoint.

well why would i buy this game for 70 bucks now, when the complete edition of the game will be like 40 bucks?
chris nickel People buy the game because they want to play it from the beginning to be able to compete.There's people who buy these games for more than 6 hours of stories and a few rounds of arcade.
That magical amulet is an Amulet of Mara!
Amputational discipline!
I love the joke about Gabe and medication, I mean he's admitted to taking psychedelic mushrooms for fuck's sake
I'm thankful for Netherrealm because fighting games have seriously lacked single player content for people like me who have no friends but they have finally given us a story mode! Hopefully other fighting games follow suit.
Resurrection been in MK, that's Quan Chi's *thing*
Ah these videos never disappoint, looking forward to that witcher 3 review if you ever get to finish the game.
I wanna see him review Sm4sh just for the Mailbag Showdown Part 2 that would follow.
3:04 That minion is playing his Fender Stratocaster upside down! That must take a lot of skill!

Ps Jukkis Complain here wasn't that the gameplay is shit but that button mashing is allowed to be a gameplay.
Indeed :D

I do enjoy his reviews. This one I didn't agree on though.

Is Gabriel actually fat or is that just a joke??
+manheap12 It's a joke on Yahtzee and Gabes excellent Let's Drown Out series, Gabriel himself isn't actually fat, he's actually a health nut
Damn right: why the fuck couldn't we play as Erron Black, Reptile or Quan Chi - they were the most awesome characters...
to be fair, mortal kombat has always had random ressurections- in the original canon, johnny cage died shortly before mk3 and by deadly alliance he had been resurrected. somehow. so complaining about that particular plot point as if it's a new thing is kinda moot because it really isn't a moot point

Hi There
Seeing that Netherrealm Studios has recently added the Predator to Mortal Kombat-X, it would be interesting to see the following characters added as well with their different versions:
Alien Xenomorph (Xenomorph, Alien Queen & Predator Alien)
He-Man (Adam, Normal He-Man & He-Man with his silver armour including the axe and the shield)
Hordak (Normal Hordak, Black and grey version of Hordak & Hordak in Horde Trooper Commander Armor)
Lion-O (Young Lion-O, Normal Lion-O & Battle Armour Lion-O from the 2011 cartoon)
Mumm-Ra (Wahankh version before transforming into Mumm-Ra, Normal Mumm-Ra & Red version of Lion-O which in actual fact is also Mumm-Ra. [Red version comes from the 1985 Thundercats episode fond memories])
She-Ra (Adora, Normal She-Ra & She-Ra Armour version)
Skeletor (Keldor version of Skeletor, Normal Skeletor & Battle armour Skeletor)
The Terminator (Variations should include - T-800, T-1000 & T-X)

Proper FPS (ie Wolfenstein: The Old Blood..best damn Add on Pack i have played since Spear Of Destiny...yeah! that long ago!...) still has some Teeth, but, proper FPS games are pretty rare these days!

Just a few days ago I thought about how nice you were when you gave us a spoiler alert in your ori review... Oh man...
3:02 This is the perfect simile!
0:45 sounds like Soul Calibur. And Street Fighter. And Smash. And Final Fantasy 7 Remake. And Resident Evil 2/3 Remake. And DC Comics. And Marvel Comics. And Bioshock Infinite.

Damn I thought fatalities would warm your heart like they do for me. For shame
A Gabe mention
I agree about the Brutalities being better than the Fatalities. They just flow better and are more satisfying to pull off.
man im glad he's still spot on even tho he's not really into fighting games. NRS is balls.
And yet somehow taking the mobile away would hurt the kid more than snapping them in half.
Because you’d die instantly from the later
just an FYI in regards to the story (spoilers): they DID have magical resurrection bullshit by restoring quan chi's revenants.....then scorpion fucks it up halfway through the game by killing quan chi, thus making it impossible to resurrect any of the others, so now those characters are now evil and dead forever
0:35 Oh Yatzee, will you ever run out of ways to insult Gabe?
The giant kitkat line made me change my sheets
I get the feeling his consultant on fighting games might be Gabe. (From their show "Let's Drown Out", and "The Ego Review" podcasts.
1:46 Is that an Amulet of Mara? I'm surprised someone like you isn't spoken for.
That is one of the best Zero Fucks Given analogy ever
Forever a Yahtzee fan, but forever a MK fan as well. I think MKX is the smoothest playing best entry into the series in a long, loooonnngg, time. Spamming is the biggest problem I've had, otherwise I actually really liked the story telling, love the krypt, and all the truckload of content in what could have been a much less meaty fighting game.

InfiniteIdeas You may be right with Kung Lao, but he's got 3 variants now and I just don't know him as well as you might (I main Erron Black). Personally, I found MK9 to feel much more rigid and clunky during fights. MKX feels much more fluid and allows for smooth transitions to combos :p. I'd play you on X1, but you'll probably destroy me right now.
Great video, Loved MKX for the content given its an amazing game and probably the best MK to date. :)
My video buffered right after the opening statement like it was contemplating the answer.
If I was Yahtzee, I'd just give this to Gabe to play and review. Delegation prevents exhaustion and monotony.
One infraction = snapped in half
Two infractions = take the mobile away
I can't stop laughing! Someone call which ever doctor it is the MK staff use after a fatality!
i think this was probably the funniest zero punc in awhile... and the others are still hilarious.. that says something... this was sick!!! lool
That stab at Gabriel though..
Am I the only one who noticed "Smells like green spirit"?
Darqfalls I don't get it.

Jon Roel
I knew it! Thanks for the cookie, too. :D
The mosquito whale analogy is killing me.
3:49-3:56 I'd love this as a sound byte! :D
Anyone else see that title and think "Roll up, roll up, one and all, Test Your Might" in Yahtzee's voice?
I remember when I banged my little drum 3 times and used a sausage poke on my opponent, I still have nightmares and am seeing a therapist about it to this day.
I agree with Yahtzee that the story should have put more focus on Erron Black and Ferra/Torr
I don't have an ass button on my PS controller. Is this a special controller or is this something like an XBox One feature?
If you show the Kinect your ass your guy eats taco bell and uses the resulting diarrhea to kill your opponent.
Damn it. I didn't know XBox's MK had exclusive content. I would've bought that one instead.
F3ARed genocide It's called "bringing the pain through the brown rain". Trust me when I say you never want to experience that.
I dunno, I found it kind of hot. I can never play any other fighter that doesn't have this feature now
Hey, Yahtzee... Who would you rather play a game through as... Johnny Cage? Or Johnny Gat?
Glad I wasn't the only one who thought of master blaster
There is a reference to Ferra Tor about mad max 3 (Johnny calls Ferra Tor Master Blaster)
I'm extremely curious as to why, at 3:05 you've animated the figure playing a guitar, upside-down left handed....??
This is the funniest game review you have ever done. Christ almighty, my face hurts...
"grind them into the dirt" sound like fun even if a little kinky and pervy (:
keep on grinding, but don't get caught and be sent to jail for years and years
The funny thing is, MK9 is seen as a reboot, but the interesting thing is, it has the part with Armageddon at the start, so basically, it isn't a reboot to me, it's a sequal to Armageddon. (Or a remix of the first three games like MKAK.)
Turok Fireseed no
Its a sequel and a reboot as it does follow up on Armageddon but it also resets everything so they can be told a different way, except not really. Oh no, Sub-Zero is a robot now!? Nope, just for one game then Quan-Chi throws him a bone and turns him human again, but we can't have that for Jax who has robotic arms? Does he hate technology or not?
"Idiot plot" - I can't help but think of Dragon Age 2. The entire plot revolved around no one realizing that an entire metropolis was basically the house from Poltergeist. In fact, the only way the player can find out something is amiss is to collect random scraps of paper over 10 years and piece it together.
if i recall correctly, didn't scorpion mess up the whole resurrection thing after he killed quan chi?
When he said how many fucks he gives,I died. Someone needs to put that on a t-shirt.
idk... I always hated having to memorize stupid combos just to pull off the cool fatalities. Cause when I press up... I jump.
I very much enjoy the idea of Yahtzee constantly referring to Sm4sh but never actually reviewing it.
the mosquito/whale analogy deserves to be framed!
I'm just in it for the gameplay i already knew that bringing back characters would be bs but it is what it is.
I hope Yahtzee will review the second half of broken age next week (I mean on escapist, for next week on youtube we will be getting a GTAV online review)
... have my babies Yahtzee! I'll let you choose the marinade and BBQ sauce!
2:11 I laughed like joker from batman.
