"Oh what fishy odors we must endure as we labor between the thighs of fate."
Yahtzee, you are a poet!
This has been and probably will be my favorite ZP thumbnail.
Chris Redfield isn't jacked up on steroids because it's set before Resident Evil 5 - that's the revelation, that there was a time when Chris wasn't a pair of thong underwear away from becoming Mr Olympia..
Instead of punching boulders he was punching doors
I still love when Yahtzee becomes Canadian during his "HA!"
"HA"
3:10
This is the only reason I came here.
"...with the 3D on, you can't focus on the target!"
What if you closed one eye?
You are a genius. It is like... we do it in real life or something. :D :D
+Jerry Peet Good thing I wasn't drinking water while reading this
+Lily Peet You just blew my mind.
Lily Orchard Woah!? How long have you been here!? And why no other vids!? Hi!
You know how 3D works...right?
Literally what I always picture when someone goes HA!
Just bought this. The 3D hurts my eyes more than any other game I've played on the thing. Otherwise, it's pretty fun.
I thought of an idea of a parody superhero: one with the ability to conjure manuals for anything ever.
Is it ok if I use that in a comic or something?
Boy-Ika Yes it is.
Sir Fur Cool.
its actually kind of cool aiming with the 3d on because you have to close one eye for better acuracy like in real life.
I found it interesting because you can either focus your eyes on the dot and then have two enemies or focus on the enemy and have two dots...weird how the screen works.
2:38 - Aw Yahtsee, I didn't know you could be romantic.
... it's pronounced Roidfield
HA!
"Step one, use your hands" - Ah Yahtzee, you never fail to crack me up.
most comments i hear about this game are "its not as bad as RE5 or 6"
ya know, starting an opinion with "its not as bad as..." means its not that good either
ed ram Its better than Resident Evil 3 and 0. Hows that!
Thanatos388 No. No it's not.
***** I disagree.
Thanatos388 Probably because of your age.
***** Why would that have anything to do with it?
That joke about the nun made me laugh so much XD
Indeed.
3:33 I really liked that scan function in Metroid Prime - most games just either smack the lore dockets across your face for free or put them in random pickups...
Instead it was entirely optional, which made you actually want to know more about the species you'd come across, the heritage of the beings on the planet, every creature you fight, vehicle you find if optional, history, and that's what made that work so well. Make it optional, it entices people more, shove it in their face and they want nothing to do with it.
3:11
And Yahtzee has become Canadian.
Interesting pfp, where'd you find him?
I never got the quick dodging in practically any RE game. It's always how they put it in the manual, too. "Use the joystick as you're being attacked." Gee, really? I usually just get lucky and unintentionally dodge while aiming a weapon.
He nailed the dodge explanation, as in if you haven't mastered it by the end of the game, which I hadn't because guns seemed to do the job fairly well, then get ready to enjoy your new career as floor polish. I died so many times at the final boss you could have polished that floor with my blood a dozen times over.
4:11 happened a lot to me
As a Finn the funniest thing in this game was hearing how the voiceactors pronounced Valkoinen mökki. Man none of them got it even close but I think it was that commander who had the most horrible take on it.
Oh and I would really like to know where in Finland we have such majestic mountains.
How is that pronounced? And what is it? A place? I'm curious
@@neferacronia6798
translate.google.fi/?hl=fi#view=home&op=translate&sl=auto&tl=fi&text=valkoinen%20m%C3%B6kki
And it is not a real place. It simply means "white cabin".
This is the best RE game since 4. The first time you fight the mutated Rachel actually left me shaking a little after I finished it, shit that was creepy! XD I actually bought this game twice, once for 3DS and then again on Wii U. Play this game!
Mayday. Mayday. Mmaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy~ daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.....
The build-up to the MAYDAY guy was pretty creepy too... until I saw his organic circular saw hands and then it just a laugh. (But yes, the reveal of Rachel was great.)
Okay, again with the Metroid Prime! He keeps talking about it, but he seems to refuse to do a retro review for it. Just get to it already.
Metroid Prime is one of the holy grails of gaming so there is barely any reason to review it.
But I think it will happen at one point since ZP loves metroid style games.
Nice picture.
Proto AndPals YEAH WOAAAAHHH!! THANKS!
@@xRocketzFighterx still hasn't reviewed it but it's about as perfect of a game as you can ask for! Lol so
@@My_Naginta If he can critique Shadow of the Colossus, Symphony of the Night, and the Sands of Time series, he can critique the Prime series. Wouldn't be surprised if he's holding out for Prime 4 to arrive like he did with Doom and Deus Ex.
Come on Yahtzee, "Life on Mars" is everybody's favourite song on "Hunky Dory".
00:30 That analogy had my laughing to the point it hurts.
"RE RE RE : revelations" had me laughing harder then i have in a long time
Every time after i watch a review i think to myself: "best Yahtzee EVER"
Then next week's review comes and the cycle begins anew!
I came for the big "Ha", and I got it.
Carry on.
Fish McTarse has a good taste in music.
I looked up that costume he mentioned, holy hell that is dumb.
I'm surprised he mentioned that costume but not another character's absolutely ludicrous Ronald McDonald haircut.
***** His name is RAYMOND!
Ronald McDonald guy... lol....
Cholo Candy
You can call him whatever you like, every time I see him all I'm hearing is Ronald McDonald singing 'We do Ron, Ron, Ron.'
@Sawed off Laser
Yes, talk about half-ass character design. har har har.
Holy crap, you mean that red haired ugly putz Raymond? And god damn that slutty operative, that was a ridiculous outfit, and I keep thinking of damn girl aim at the monsters... And stop coming to me, can't fight with both you and the invisaHunters...
"someone you thought to be good will turn out to be bad"
ya know what whould have made this scene better?
if it started off with the imp and then changed to gandhi insted of the other way around.
*MOTHER*
*FUCKING*
*GENIUS!!!!!*
4:05 - I had the exact same problem with Kingdom Hearts II - I could not figure out how to do anything other than mash the attack button, because the game does not tell you which button configurations and controls do what.
Kingdom Hearts 2: "Use the drive system when the bar is full."
Me: "'Use' it, huh?"
Its actually rivaling RE4 if you ask me, considering all enemys look like regenerators.
I'm guessing they hired a few amateurs from gamefaqs.com for the instructions. I lost track how many times I couldn't figure out how to complete a puzzle in a game and the best advice I could find was to "just go to the room with the puzzle and do it."
1:37 is the most brilliant sentence I've ever heard
Not the better RE game ever, but fuck it way better than 5 or 6
Well for me (this is just a fan opinion here) but I prefer RE5 over revelations at least you can dodge and pick up key items that are actually there instead of using that silly scanner all the time.
I consider it still one of the worst Resident Evil games because it has a weak story with weak drama.
Though I did like the bickering between Quint and Keith at times XD.
The combat is a mess, dodging is difficult because its just luck except for the final boss side claw attack which I dodge every time for some wierd reason.
Also some enemies like Scagdead (fat chainsaw) and the dogs have very unpredictable AI at times.
Sometimes the Scagdead can go from a stunned or an attack to his instant kill attack.
Some ooze monsters have a 1 frame quick turn attack which is hard to predict because previous RE games had starting animations before grabs or back slash attacks actually hit you.
Also explosive damage doesn't hurt you. I fired a rocket launcher at my feet and my character took no damage or stun, same for red barrels to.
RE5 had better animation for enemies, better controls and difficulty that even on professional mode when I died it felt like it was my fault.
While as in revelations's Inferno and Hell difficulty it wasn't my fault that I got hit when I tried to dodge and revelations is one of the few games that frustrated me to near the extreme because the dodge mechanics are all luck dice based.
If capcom balanced the combat better, no scanning items or enemies for hidden items n free health and had better dodge controls then I'd say its pretty good even with a bad story.
Agreed it was better than re5 or re6. But that's like saying that driving a Ford POS is better than taking public transportation lol.
Wild Rocket Raccoon I am sorry but no RE game can say that it has good drama
bear bros i like the make new phrases for the avgn competition
on sale on the Nintender E shop for $4.99
it takes 24-25k blocks so IT'S GONNA TAKE AWHILE!
I still haven't updated the SD card so using the 4 GB
watch this without sound and try to guess what the fuck he is talking about
I have found my new favourite hobby
Darn it. I'm already re-watching everything at 1.5x and 2.0x speed. Now I'm going to have to try this! xD
You know what i just imagined
Yahtzee's avatar as a playable character in Castle Crashers!
0:28 actually describes my thoughts on final fantasy 13 2 quite well.
Just want to say that I greatly appreciate the thumbnail for this video.
2:54
Somebody's been reading Shadow over Innsmouth
what is the intro music?
I like how his pistol in this is a DL-44 blaster from Star Wars.
3:08 The sniper must have been drunk XD
wait...how are video uploads set-up? i dont believe this is on the escapist site but theres a new upload there too of a vid not on youtube. @_@
Literally just finished the final boss 15 minutes ago. Yahtzee hit the nail on the head with this one. While the sum is greater than its parts with RE:R, there was some missed potential on an overall good game. Partners were useless, the constant character changing, convoluted conspiracy, I HATED being forced to go through doors when there's obviously a hunter through the glass waiting to swipe me on the other side. But unlike most people, I did like Quint and Keith as comic relief. 8/10
3:34 Yeah, they did that in the first Sly Cooper game
i dont get ads when i go there and i dont have adblocker
I saw it as a little kid and I LOVED deep sea angler fish becuase they were cool
I think part of the problem is that his slot was the one Daily Drop used to occupy, so he had some pretty big shoes to fill.
I think the main contention is that you're NOT scared of deep see angler fish, apparently!
I've just now realized that your monster thingy looks more like the Android robot, lol. It's cute.
"sometimes they will play your ass like the bongo" I ALMOST PISSED MY SELF LAUGHING.
sliced diced and minced. love zp yum yum
That's a very good point...
He has his own channel.
yep
1:36 I died
Zero Punctuation Should be its own channel.
You have one of the coolest channel names EVER :3
Jim too, don't forget him.
True, but I have the blessing/curse to forget things within 3 minutes of discontinuing eye contact.
Still shocked that no-one mentions the wii_u version being borderline unplayable cause of control sticks having a huge dead zone in the middle on the gamepad. Pro-controller dont have this problem, but that didnt ship with the console now did it.
I was talking about the jimquisition, not zero punctuation. Yahtzee rocks.
I subscribed for this and Unskippable.
I actually like a lot of their videos.
Kind of a lame game, but it is a huge step in the right direction, any direction that is away from RE5 and 6 is a good direction indeed.
Yuri Lewd i personally like 5 and 6 but lost interest in revelations.
+power rangers123 (starts humming Hellfire) what? I'm not judging you (keeps humming Hellfire)
It's mainly lame to those with little appreciation for portable games.
Hence why they later ported it to consoles.
Yuri Lewd to be pretty honest I like RE6 because is so over the top and exaggerated that makes me crack a smile. Also I find the gameplay to be very fun. RE6 is one my biggest guilty pleasure game.
Wow, right in the childhood.
2:18 lmao
Jean Paul Gaultier!!! :D 2:16
I enjoy unskippable and this, as well as the odd jimquisition and backchat.
same!
He does know that the 3D option is adjustable, I.e not directly on and off, right?
I highly doubt he cared enough about the gimmick to bother learning the nuances.
The gloriously petty will never let token things like "you can just turn it off" stop them from having a good old gripe about something they dislike.
It still amuses me that people continue to think that Yahtzee in the videos genuinely represents the actual thoughts and opinions of mr. Ben Croshaw accurately.
If you watched the Oregon Trail Let's Drown Out video on Yahtzee's own channel... You'd find out in short order that Yahtzee can't be bothered to read basic instructions. To the point where he'll bitch about issues that don't exist, because he couldn't read the instructions to figure out basic controls.
In which there is a twist that Nemo's Dad never got over his loss, and is in a continuously looping limbo where he thinks he can free himself by not losing Nemo, but he is never able to.
Holy shit at 1:01 that's my chair in my living room
Long time no see. I like your vids =P
I mainly stick around the Escapist for Jim and Bob and their insightful opinions, and Gavin's music. Yahtzee's not bad, either.
Game is fantastic remade on the switch.
2:43 He has a pink mustache.
You can never un-see it.
yay
WAIT! So the 3D effect is on even while using a snipe rifel? what, fuck scopes or did they start using half invisible binoculars?
agreed
That would be amazing
The boat thing was done before Revelations was made. Look up a Resident Evil game called "Resident Evil: Gaiden", You play as Barry Burton, some new chick and Leon from RE2 but with the badassery of RE4.
that thumbnail
@ChrisTDK1 I enjoy both The Jimquisition and Feed Dump, as well as No Right Answer.
3:11 yahtzee became ike
I think his insight is very valuble and not necessarily known by everyone. He has made many previous comments on games such as Halo Reach on things which I never saw a problem with but when commented on I realised that it was true. I'm British, If all I wanted was to hear a British accent I could just go outside.
someone says that on every video we get it already its good
After playing Revelations I didn't think it was the return to survival horror that it promised.
Remember when Revelations looked like it was going to be a sort of mystery,and tense stand-off between established characters?
That reveal trailer was admittedly kind of cheesy, but it had more of my attention than almost all of the parts of RE5 that didn't include Wesker wrecking everyone else's shit.
I'm still curious as to what in the hell the storyline for Revelations WAS going to be. Why can't Capcom TELL us these things?!
DGneoseeker1
To be fair, is there even a storyline at all anymore? They just keep chucking in excuses for super deformed mutants masquerading as zombies to show up and drop in replacements for their Saturday morning villains as if they were pez dispensers.
I'm only staying tuned to see if they ever actually return to a coherent plot that makes some actual sense. Or as coherant as 'idiot brigade release zombie plague in major cities or poverty stricken countries for shits and giggles' can get.
Well, Revelations originally looked like Jill was aiming a gun at Chris and implying he was a traitor, so I'm just wondering what the hell that was about.
Also, why there was a creepy fog monster in RE4 before they made it a farmer killing sim.
The youtube channel is 6 months behind the vids on the official site, if you want the full ZP library go on the site. ;P
Exactly.
The people from LRR are worth watching too, if you into that sort of thing, since they are not directly connected to games/movies.
About the Monster design... Like Call of Cthulu?
best song off of hunky dory is queen bitch btw
Oooh, right in the childhood. >.
1:34
Man that was dark.
Bi$harp. Your new, don't worry you haven't seen anything yet.
Please. I am a Yahtzee veteran. I've seen every Zero Punctuation episode ever made.
That doesn't mean it's not still dark.
Bi$harp, Really? Pretty sure his wifi in a death camp shower room was worse.
Paladin Boyd Nah that one was kind of funny because of the absurdity of it.
Bi$harp, True.
3:11
1:57 Not the face.
