He's not exactly that mean. He says that the games he plays are a load of ass a lot, but at this point its lost all meaning. Yahtzee at least keeps his insults fresh and intelligent.
+Krebons1200 haha your statements contradict each other my friend! I know he's mean that's why he calls the games he plays a load of ass and keeps his insults fresh and intelligent. That's part of the reason he's good at what he does
Alien: Isolation, the proof (if proof were needed) that the whole Alien and Predator franchises have basically been merrily trundling down a thirty-degree incline with no-one behind the wheel for at least twenty years. THIS proves that the basic mid-budget indie movie Alien franchise look and concept still works and you don't need flashy visuals and multi-million dollar action set-pieces.
My favorite part of the game was feeling like the alien could be anywhere and being scared as shit because you don't know if the alien is not a threat in one area or another and you're just walking through wondering when and where he's coming from and hoping he doesn't make you shit your pants as he pops out of a vent right in front of you. You feel like you're defenseless and could be eaten by the alien at any second, which is scary as shit.
Mr. Chang Its brilliant as well because you think any action will alert the alien. Sprinting, melee, firing your gun, at any time the alien could fuck you up. The motion tracker really made the game. Youd see the blip going crazy and start shitting yourself. The fucking robots were so cold and menacing as well, just walking towards you and thier voice/facial expression is crazy. I remember that one bit where like 10 were froze in postion like a statue then 6 or so came to live and started breaking a door in to get you. God damn. One of the best horrors ive played!
The AI for the game was actually designed with two interacting reactions trees. One of them dictates the Alien's movements while it's in the station and hunting for your tasty giblets, the other tells it the chill the eff out for a moment and go somewhere else so you can actually do something.
So... We have a horror game, and horror games today almost always suck, because game developers have forgotten, what "fear" is, and confused it with "action". We have a game to a movie-franchise. And movie franchise games almost always suck. And we have an "Alien" game. And "Alien" products (since the third movie) almost always suck. And we end up with a fairly excellent survival horror titel. ... How the fuck did this happen?! Are we approaching judgment day? Are we soon seeing pigs fly, rains of frogs, and a good and deep Michael Bay movie? Who knows...! The world is changing, and it scares me!
PlatinumIvory Thanks! I can finally sleep again, now that I understand that there is a scientific explanation to it, and has nothing to do with the end times coming! :-)
It is NOT a horror game at all. But it is a TERROR game. That's what people get confused on. Terror is that suspense and intense feeling. Horror is that creepy feeling that insights true fear even after you leave the game. It's a good terror game but in no way is it horror.
Honestly I think handing this IP off to a couple of RTS was one of the most interesting, and best, moves made this year. I mean, honestly. Mode horror games these days are plagued by substandard monsters, who follow basic pathing and have the programming of 'see guy, make beeline'. But who better to craft intricate AI than people who've had to program the AI for something like Total War? I mean honestly, look at the AI. The Androids, Humans, and Alien all act differently. With the Androids, all i think is 'gotta break line of sight'; They're dumb, their persistent, and I remember watching one stand in a hallway for ten minutes, while I just hid under a table, hoping he would move. He didn't. Humans feel like humans; they explore, wander, try to find you. But they always go back on their paths and follow what they know. The Alien however feels like a predator. I feel like I'm being hunted; There's always variations in its movements. I can watch it look around, seemingly sniffing the air. I can see it rip through the ventilation shafts on my motion trackers, moving inhumanly fast. It's, all in all, extremely awesome.
I’ve unlocked every achievement, including the no death run. I’ve done the ultra hard run that you don’t need to do in order to get the achievement. There is still one part of the game that I get to and go “nope nope nope nope nope, that’s enough for today” every time I get there.
I love the down time of the space walks!! They were the 'eye of the storm' moments where you summoned the energy to survive the many, many heart attacks to come!
The fact that Yahtzee can bash on even my favorite, most beloved games for a whole video and still I agree with everything he says and thoroughly enjoy the videos is pretty unique. I don't watch Zero Punctuation videos for any real information on games, but it's still the only game review series I'm willing to watch anymore.
I think the reason I liked this game so much (other than the reasons he stated) was that it WAS the movie. Exact same sound, set design, tech, and attire. It was perfectly nostalgic while being original.
It's immensely satisfying to get a real survival horror title for once from Isolation, and not just another 3rd person action shooter pretending to be survival horror. (*cough The Evil Within cough*)
RubberyCat Honoured. The start of the game had aspects of survival horror, the very first chapter at least but later chapters, as the story puzzles etc progressed, it was more physcological. The story was a mess until the later chapters e.g 8. The atmosphere wasn't really scary it was more tense. The enemies were not really scary (my opinion) but more tense.
Classy Splatter Isolation was too short/easy. I played on hard. Never ran out of ammo or craft items. Halfway in I had maxed everything. I made the xeno into my little bitch with the flamethrower. So how was this a real survival horror again?
The KurtyTooBusy I was implying the survival horror aspect was diminished by the over surplus of items laying around. Add the fact that the xeno had x-ray vision & urges to return to the same spot 5 times in one minute really kills the suspense. Is this a monster or is it super man in a suit?
3:56 "It's a very nice suspense, you can stop building it now. No, I don't think it would look nicer with a conservatory, put that trowel down before I smack you with it!"
The androids weren’t scary? I ran away from one and through a door once, thought I was safe when I saw the loading symbol pop up. Suddenly the symbol went away and I thought I was safely on the other side of the door but no, no no no. The Android grabbed me through the loading screen, pulled me back into the room and proceeded to me my ass like a drum. They are terrifying.
I liked the length. A lot of people complained about it and the back tracking but that just added to the claustrophobia, you think a place is safe and BAM, you are shitting yourself for the next 20 minutes.
Every so often, Yahtzee really seems to have something on the brain when making a video. in this it was cereal bowl and shit, and in Evolve it was cake up the ass. The most prominent to me was his Just Cause 2 review, where it seemed every other scene involved a cat.
Credit where credit’s due… the movie “Aliens” did at least (eventually, in the Director’s Cut) introduce the concept of Amanda Ripley, without which there would have been no “Alien: Isolation”.
I've seen Fanta in orange, strawberry and grape. I've never heard of Blackcurrent. It sounds delicious, though. On a related note, if you ever see lime flavored Crush soda, DON'T DRINK IT! It's awful. Tastes like someone made lime Koolaid with twice the sugar it called for, and then carbonated it. It's not just sweet, it's almost sludgy, kind of the same texture as cough syrup. X-P
LaydiNite We have something similar called Limeade. It's fucking delicious, probably not as sugary as Lime Crush though. You need to try Irn-Bru too, it's a horrific shade of orange and tastes like nothing else on this earth. It outsells (or at least used to) Coca-Cola here in Scotland too.
They did a fantastic job creating the alien from the first movie he didnt climb on walls and he was blind BUT he could see you the method never really explained and more trivia.love it
3:50 But is is a pretty space walk. Nice and Calming before being thrown into a space station of death, with the occasional human and android lurking somewhere. It's pretty much going; "that was a lovely walk, and now I'm f**ked!!!"
One nice attention to detail I found is that, if you crawl around in a vent in the section right before you trap the first xenomorph in that detachable lab, you'll find a corpse that was chest-burst'd, showing that there's more than one of these things well before you find the nest in engineering. Now granted as a fan of the franchise you go into this game thinking "Okay I've seen Aliens, and in a space station this large there's no way there's only one of them running around" but it's still a cool find, and on the off-chance you've never watched the movies before playing this game it's a hell of a find.
You know what Yahtzee has made me realize? Every gaming platform is garbage. They all have way more cons than pros, so I'm just gonna go read a book now.
Uhg... come here to watch Yhatzee's vid on Alien Isolation cause he always makes me laugh... And end up scrolling through hundreds of comments about how one person's platform choice is better than everyone else's. Then hiding behind "I was joking lulz" when in reality they just get tired of being flamed... Pay attention people: We are all Gamers. Say it to yourself now. We are all Gamers. Does not matter the platform or the reasons. We are all Gamers. It doesn't matter if you like keyboard/mouse or a controller. We are still all gamers. It doesn't matter if you want the souped up shiny ass graphics, or the dumbed down graphics. We are all still gamers. For the most part, unless you are on PC alone... Xbox alone... or Playstation alone... we all play mostly the same set of games. We are all still gamers. Whether you spent 400... 500... 600... or upwards of 2 grand on your platform (Seriously, some people spend 2 grand on their PCs...) We are all still gamers. Now... Stop the stupid bickering and go play some fucking games.
I don't understand having emotional loyalty to a gaming system. Like...I really like my pc. If someone asked, I would recommend pc gaming over console gaming provided that they had a baseline understanding of how to maintain a pc. But if someone likes consoles more and would rather stick with them? It doesn't bother me, and I just don't get why it would bother anyone else.
"Ruining video games...misogyny...social justice...doing a bad job of it" The shortest, yet still powerful political statement I've heard. It's in the middle of an entirely different joke, in the middle of a tangential prologue, of an entirely different review. That doesn't stop it from saying so much. I'm a proGGer, and I just want all this fighting to stop. I'm not going to blame anyone for starting shit, I just want it to end.
Nice sentiment, not going to happen. There's always going to be some idiots telling you cut your hair and stop painting pictures of Jesus masturbating. Name of the game. Just like there's always going to be people speaking out against whatever brand of fascism is catching public support. Welcome to the shit storm. Sometimes people call it a society.
***** Personally? Not much. I didn't pay or even access the websites in question nor did I put any stock in major gaming journalism press to begin with. One of the things I was a bit surprised to find out was that many people did, prior to #GamerGate, pay for banner-less access to sites like Kotaku and Polygon. In the end what you're talking about doesn't matter though. Money is king and the consumers and companies flocking away from the diseased carcass of the gaming media industry is what matters more than how many hashtags per day we GGers pull down. Fucking over a fucked up industry is the name of this game and if you weren't giving them money to begin with it's not much a task placed on you to boycott these fuckers.
I know I'm late to the party but Alien: Isolation also follows the rule because it isn't a standalone title that has a subtitle for no reason. He made up the rule because of titles like Beyond: Two Souls and Lichdom: Battlemage. There is only a single "Beyond" game, (Thank god.) it doesn't need a subtitle. However Alien is a long running franchise, so telling this apart from Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien: Resurrection, etc. actually makes sense!
Really? I'm not having a good experience playing through it for the first time. I feel like a lot of the game is just kind of wandering from point to point on my map never understanding where I'm going or why. I'm currently on the part where you're locking down parts of the ship to try to burn the alien I think. And I'm playing through it with a friend and I turn to the friend and asked what am I doing? To which all he could do was just read me my current objective. I think the game may have been good for when it came out because there really wasn't anything going on in the survival horror genre, but I'm playing this and just wishing it was RE7.
Yahtzee just always gets it spot on. Was watching an Evil Within playthrough and about to explode into a rant about how subtlety creates the best horror and he nailed it in one sentence.
AcidicFriend no it's about supply and Demand. and ***** wtf are you on about? why are you raggin on this dude, you don't know shit about him or his financial situation, Dude probably has priorities like Bills which trump the fuck out of "graphics" As for gfx cards go wtf are you seriously on about Since fuckin when is having a graphics card out of modern PCS? you must be from a different universe. What in the Fuck is a GTX 780 Graphics card if it's not a graphics card? Bro Thu Collist Kid just go save up some money for two months and buy yourself a gtx series card I'd aim anywhere from the gtx 670 series or higher. The mid to high six hundreds graphics cards should only cost like 100 something dollars to 400 something dollars tops. And you can install them yourself even if your not computer savy just use your phone, a laptop or something and stream a video of someone teaching you how to easily snap in a graphics card, Building a computer is just like putting a puzzle together...a very simple puzzle once you understand how it really works.
I always imagines that all of her "sure, ill go get this keycard...alone" problems were caused by the fact that she was the only one with any competence. Save for the douchebag of a doctor, who had legitimate leverage to ask you to bend over backwards for him, the other characters, professionally speaking, were tossers. Like hell they could be trusted to handle sneaking into the robotics lab to reboot communications! Half of them I wondered if they would even be able to handle blowing their nose. Thats what I liked about the game the most. You had the strong female protagonist who didnt have to sacrifice the respect you had for her when she shit her pants any time she heard a stray thump. Because anyone would if they had a dildo headed pile of murder death machine stalking them literally everywhere!
i'm not sure if the first comment was irony or not but if it was i should say that writing something it's much more easier than listening to someone who speaks four times quicker than you do, mainly because to write you have all the time you want and something named Google translator to correct.
It's really not a problem. English is embarrassingly simple when you compare it to - lets say - german for example (which is my first language). Now don't get your panties in a bunch, I'm not trying to say that german is *better*. It is simply more difficult to learn.
I liked the exploration and the weird feeling that something was crawling above the ceiling above me. I didn't enjoy having to study map schematics and working obscure consoles to get access to areas.
2:55 The first time you see the alien, the encounter happens entirely in a cutscene. The second time it appears, it is a scripted event. Not really sure what he meant.
Why does everyone say its too long of a game! Am I going mad or has the whole world been so used to 6 hour campaigns anything longer feels overdone.... I don't get it I played the whole game loved every minute of it. The only complaint I had was they should have held giving you the flamethrower for maybe a mission or two longer since it makes the alien alot less scary to deal with when you have run back to your hole creature! mechanic.
Thank you! It's crazy to think that the industry has been so waterlogged with games with tacked-on, 6 hour "story" modes that a game with actual *content* gets salt for being "too much"
Wow! I was more impressed by how fast he can talk than the fricken content itself! Dam! I could set this to .5x speed and it would sound "normal." Props for the reviews and for nearly every alien (and "other") pop-culture references (albeit a lot of UK, and stuff my brain couldn't process fast enough before the next wave.) in the world squeezed into a 5 min vid. But hey, who ever said 5 min YT vids weren't filled with quality content?! Not me!...not until now anyway! Cheers mate! :)
When I was playing this game (two hours ago I watched aliens great movie) I saw three synthetics in forint of me and the alien right behind me then I yelled in a Hudson voice "game over man ITS GAME OVER"
They should make a horror game with an AI director who watches the player and adapts the game to him/her. Example: if there is a player who hides all the time then the AI director sends in monsters that can find you instantly, forcing you to fight so it pushes you out of your comfort zone and that only is stressing. Imagine that I would ask you to fly a plane, you wouldn't like it either
i never really did just time it right and figure out how little you have to use to scare it off. but you will die a lot trying to get it right though. but after that its really simple.
Game Reviewer: Well this game had survival elements, mixed in wit- Yahtzee: Move the fuck aside, I'm gonna make hilarious jokes about random stuff while subliminally inserting my opinions into your head! Of course, sometimes is subliminal. Sometimes its me shouting "THIS GAME IS (opinion)". But its funny and you'll watch it anyway.
Steampunker Kai At least Yahtzee gives his honest opinion on a game while everyone else just says whatever the publisher tells them to so they get a big fat cheque because these days there's little difference between gaming news websites and whores IMHO.
Steampunker Kai another good thing about Yahtzee XD he doesn't take bribes if he hates the game and oh boy does he hate alot of game's he will tell you why XD its why he hates doing COD reviews
I have not touched this game for almost 5 years. I still sometimes have anxiety-fueled nightmares about trying-and often failing-to avoid the Xenomorph as it hunts me.
Wow, two game Yathzee like in two weeks, what's happening ? AAA industry is actually learning from their past errors ? Is it the end of the world ?????

I recommend "Saiko No Sutoka". The AI is smart to a terrifying degree, where she'll throw away a free kill because she's actively playing with you.

One nice attention to detail I found is that, if you crawl around in a vent in the section right before you trap the first xenomorph in that detachable lab, you'll find a corpse that was chest-burst'd, showing that there's more than one of these things well before you find the nest in engineering. Now granted as a fan of the franchise you go into this game thinking "Okay I've seen Aliens, and in a space station this large there's no way there's only one of them running around" but it's still a cool find, and on the off-chance you've never watched the movies before playing this game it's a hell of a find.
You know what Yahtzee has made me realize? Every gaming platform is garbage. They all have way more cons than pros, so I'm just gonna go read a book now.
I'll drink to that!
Finally
So Many Poops How about 'Jam'...Yes, it is by Yahtzee...
What are you looking at me like that for...
So Many Poops Good plan. I suggest hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
So Many Poops Excuse me, but the TI-84 is a sublime slab of pure gaming fun.
As an American, I had to pause at “15 cups of black currant Fanta” and immediately go on Amazon hoping I could get that shipped to the US.
Uhg... come here to watch Yhatzee's vid on Alien Isolation cause he always makes me laugh... And end up scrolling through hundreds of comments about how one person's platform choice is better than everyone else's. Then hiding behind "I was joking lulz" when in reality they just get tired of being flamed...
Pay attention people:
We are all Gamers. Say it to yourself now. We are all Gamers.
Does not matter the platform or the reasons. We are all Gamers.
It doesn't matter if you like keyboard/mouse or a controller. We are still all gamers.
It doesn't matter if you want the souped up shiny ass graphics, or the dumbed down graphics. We are all still gamers.
For the most part, unless you are on PC alone... Xbox alone... or Playstation alone... we all play mostly the same set of games. We are all still gamers.
Whether you spent 400... 500... 600... or upwards of 2 grand on your platform (Seriously, some people spend 2 grand on their PCs...) We are all still gamers.
Now... Stop the stupid bickering and go play some fucking games.
I know a friend of mine who spent upwards of 5k for his PC. Mine is like 1.5k worth every penny too, and I plan on sinking more into it haha.
LoLiTzTommyy Jesus I wish I had 5k to toss at a PC. As it is I paid 1360 for mine. Hell of a good system too.
I don't understand having emotional loyalty to a gaming system. Like...I really like my pc. If someone asked, I would recommend pc gaming over console gaming provided that they had a baseline understanding of how to maintain a pc.
But if someone likes consoles more and would rather stick with them? It doesn't bother me, and I just don't get why it would bother anyone else.
Graidon Mabson Exactly.
Common sense! Actual fucking common sense!
"granddad's birthday blumpkin"
oh my fucking God I love this man
"Ruining video games...misogyny...social justice...doing a bad job of it" The shortest, yet still powerful political statement I've heard. It's in the middle of an entirely different joke, in the middle of a tangential prologue, of an entirely different review.
That doesn't stop it from saying so much. I'm a proGGer, and I just want all this fighting to stop. I'm not going to blame anyone for starting shit, I just want it to end.
Well said. Now prepare for the inevitable flame.
BURRRRRNNNNNN BITCH
Nice sentiment, not going to happen.
There's always going to be some idiots telling you cut your hair and stop painting pictures of Jesus masturbating.
Name of the game.
Just like there's always going to be people speaking out against whatever brand of fascism is catching public support.
Welcome to the shit storm.
Sometimes people call it a society.
***** Personally? Not much. I didn't pay or even access the websites in question nor did I put any stock in major gaming journalism press to begin with. One of the things I was a bit surprised to find out was that many people did, prior to #GamerGate, pay for banner-less access to sites like Kotaku and Polygon.
In the end what you're talking about doesn't matter though. Money is king and the consumers and companies flocking away from the diseased carcass of the gaming media industry is what matters more than how many hashtags per day we GGers pull down. Fucking over a fucked up industry is the name of this game and if you weren't giving them money to begin with it's not much a task placed on you to boycott these fuckers.
You forgot Mumm-Ra.
I came to re-watch this, and saw when the video/game was released. How time flies.
I would say that this is the PERFECT review of Alien: Isolation that I have seen so far. Bravo Zero Punctuation! You guys rule!!
1:12 😆 that joke touched me somewhere special 😆
One of the best Survival Horror games! There is a lot of tension building and you don't know when it's going to be released.
I know I'm late to the party but Alien: Isolation also follows the rule because it isn't a standalone title that has a subtitle for no reason. He made up the rule because of titles like Beyond: Two Souls and Lichdom: Battlemage. There is only a single "Beyond" game, (Thank god.) it doesn't need a subtitle. However Alien is a long running franchise, so telling this apart from Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien: Resurrection, etc. actually makes sense!
Play it again last week
Still holds up
Really? I'm not having a good experience playing through it for the first time. I feel like a lot of the game is just kind of wandering from point to point on my map never understanding where I'm going or why. I'm currently on the part where you're locking down parts of the ship to try to burn the alien I think. And I'm playing through it with a friend and I turn to the friend and asked what am I doing? To which all he could do was just read me my current objective. I think the game may have been good for when it came out because there really wasn't anything going on in the survival horror genre, but I'm playing this and just wishing it was RE7.
@@alldayagainhave to agree, game was a slog
Yahtzee just always gets it spot on. Was watching an Evil Within playthrough and about to explode into a rant about how subtlety creates the best horror and he nailed it in one sentence.
Oh boy I wish I could play Alien: Isolation!
I mean, I bought it.
But my GC can't run DirectX11.
Fuck modern graphics.
No... Fuck your shitty graphics card.
***** I don't make the prices. But they're that price for a reason. It's all about the resource
***** Or you can be smart and just check your Graphics card.
*****
AHHHHH!!!! Filthy console peasant... BEGONE!!!!!
AcidicFriend no it's about supply and Demand. and ***** wtf are you on about? why are you raggin on this dude, you don't know shit about him or his financial situation, Dude probably has priorities like Bills which trump the fuck out of "graphics" As for gfx cards go wtf are you seriously on about Since fuckin when is having a graphics card out of modern PCS? you must be from a different universe. What in the Fuck is a GTX 780 Graphics card if it's not a graphics card? Bro Thu Collist Kid just go save up some money for two months and buy yourself a gtx series card I'd aim anywhere from the gtx 670 series or higher. The mid to high six hundreds graphics cards should only cost like 100 something dollars to 400 something dollars tops. And you can install them yourself even if your not computer savy just use your phone, a laptop or something and stream a video of someone teaching you how to easily snap in a graphics card, Building a computer is just like putting a puzzle together...a very simple puzzle once you understand how it really works.
Woah woah woah woah woah. Hold on, 1:53, BLACKCURRANT Fanta?!?!?!?
I always imagines that all of her "sure, ill go get this keycard...alone" problems were caused by the fact that she was the only one with any competence. Save for the douchebag of a doctor, who had legitimate leverage to ask you to bend over backwards for him, the other characters, professionally speaking, were tossers. Like hell they could be trusted to handle sneaking into the robotics lab to reboot communications! Half of them I wondered if they would even be able to handle blowing their nose. Thats what I liked about the game the most. You had the strong female protagonist who didnt have to sacrifice the respect you had for her when she shit her pants any time she heard a stray thump. Because anyone would if they had a dildo headed pile of murder death machine stalking them literally everywhere!
"like you blindly walked in during your grandad's birthday plumpkin" this line is so underappreciated
watching this without having english as your first language it's probably like being blind and try to make a painting
Yeah, because your babyspeak excuse for a language is so hard to decifer.
Not really :-)
Nope, it's fine.
i'm not sure if the first comment was irony or not but if it was i should say that writing something it's much more easier than listening to someone who speaks four times quicker than you do, mainly because to write you have all the time you want and something named Google translator to correct.
It's really not a problem. English is embarrassingly simple when you compare it to - lets say - german for example (which is my first language).
Now don't get your panties in a bunch, I'm not trying to say that german is *better*. It is simply more difficult to learn.
"like you blindly walked in on your grandad's birthday plumpkin" this line is so underappreciated 😂😂
Did you have a bet with somebody to see how many times you could fit in the word 'cereal bowl'?
Great vid, but were you dissing Dead Space? That game is amazing, even today, 10 years on. (2:00)
Something tells me Yahtzee was eating breakfast while he wrote the script to this one.
I liked the exploration and the weird feeling that something was crawling above the ceiling above me. I didn't enjoy having to study map schematics and working obscure consoles to get access to areas.
this review was as subtle as a cereal bowl
4:45 - Hey, I remember that bit in VVVVVV
2:55
The first time you see the alien, the encounter happens entirely in a cutscene. The second time it appears, it is a scripted event. Not really sure what he meant.
It wasn't a cut scene
You only see his tail in that cutscene.
Just found this channel. Enjoy the rants. Keep it up.
4:10 crafting system being deemed "indie". Ah, different times.
Now they are the bane of many gamers existence, shoe horned into everything
3:17 I think the better analogy would be hide and seek
Why does everyone say its too long of a game! Am I going mad or has the whole world been so used to 6 hour campaigns anything longer feels overdone.... I don't get it I played the whole game loved every minute of it. The only complaint I had was they should have held giving you the flamethrower for maybe a mission or two longer since it makes the alien alot less scary to deal with when you have run back to your hole creature! mechanic.
Thank you! It's crazy to think that the industry has been so waterlogged with games with tacked-on, 6 hour "story" modes that a game with actual *content* gets salt for being "too much"
This might be one of my favorite ZP videos
"It doesn't have to put on its prettiest dress to show that big daddy SEGA loves it the most." I love this metaphor!
Y’know, one would be led to think that Mumm Ra would be better at stopping things than just planting a bear trap.
Am I the only one who was way more scared of the androids than of the actual alien .... they're so creepy
Finally, a game that gives due respect to Giger's creation
Ex 0 G G
Tt
So funny with all the imps in some scenes and "Press X to Piss Pants"! XD
Wait, we have Blackcurrant Fanta in Australia? Why am I only just hearing of this no- oh, right, I'm in SOUTH Australia.
The koalas and drop-bears ate all the Fanta delivery boys.
Predator turning his head to the side and sweating is probably the funniest thing I've seen on this show.
“Games are good today” that statement didn’t age well.
02:37 that's very resident evil of it.
Did yahtzee do this before breakfast because cereal was a running theme
Would the subtlety in survival horror be in making atmosphere & the use of the uncanny? If yes developers take notes and start experimenting.
well i can never eat cereal the same way again
Wow! I was more impressed by how fast he can talk than the fricken content itself! Dam! I could set this to .5x speed and it would sound "normal." Props for the reviews and for nearly every alien (and "other") pop-culture references (albeit a lot of UK, and stuff my brain couldn't process fast enough before the next wave.) in the world squeezed into a 5 min vid. But hey, who ever said 5 min YT vids weren't filled with quality content?! Not me!...not until now anyway! Cheers mate! :)
Blackcurrant fanta? is it a thing cause i've never seen it. D:
Can someone make a mod where the alien has the mouth at 2:22
Really would like to hear your views on sunset overdrive.
xbox1 exclusive = Shit
end of review
It'll probably be next week.
Art Murder
Just because a console sucks, doesn't mean the games on it does. Of course I type this full well knowing you're just fanboying.
nah man I want his evil within review
Art Murder if an exclusive = sucked then Nintendo wouldn't be on their 6th system right now
When I was playing this game (two hours ago I watched aliens great movie) I saw three synthetics in forint of me and the alien right behind me then I yelled in a Hudson voice "game over man ITS GAME OVER"
On space no one can hear you make a positive review.
Seeing silent hill 2 mentioned for the 50th time reminds me something.
How does Yahtzee feel about Kojima's Playable teaser for Silent Hills?
"Like you blindly walked into the bathroom during grandpa's birthday blumpkin." Hahaha 😂where does he come up with this stuff lol!
What the hell is a blumkin anyway?!?!
+Christian Young the more you know
i'd prefer not to know to be honest
That cereal bowl is going to stay with me for quite some time. BTW, congrats on your Vice piece Mr. Crowshaw - you have arrived! :-D
My favorite Horror Game and probably one of my favorite games. Though it's stressful to play so I'd never do another playthrough of it
That Predator joke at 1:12 is priceless.
They should make a horror game with an AI director who watches the player and adapts the game to him/her. Example: if there is a player who hides all the time then the AI director sends in monsters that can find you instantly, forcing you to fight so it pushes you out of your comfort zone and that only is stressing.
Imagine that I would ask you to fly a plane, you wouldn't like it either
He got the mole kingdom analogy spot on
I love these videos
extra points for usage of 'blumpkin'
it was scary and a bit hard. then you get the flamethrower then the tables are turned the alien becomes your bitch.
till you run out of flue
i never really did just time it right and figure out how little you have to use to scare it off. but you will die a lot trying to get it right though. but after that its really simple.
2012onemanarmy the fuck is flue
2012onemanarmy That all important flue. Can't go without that flue.
poplmon Napalm, or at least that's what I think it is?
These never get old.
Game Reviewer: Well this game had survival elements, mixed in wit-
Yahtzee: Move the fuck aside, I'm gonna make hilarious jokes about random stuff while subliminally inserting my opinions into your head! Of course, sometimes is subliminal. Sometimes its me shouting "THIS GAME IS (opinion)". But its funny and you'll watch it anyway.
I was going to add on to this comment but how can I add to art?
Zeke Brown lol thanks :D
Steampunker Kai At least Yahtzee gives his honest opinion on a game while everyone else just says whatever the publisher tells them to so they get a big fat cheque because these days there's little difference between gaming news websites and whores IMHO.
***** Good point
Steampunker Kai another good thing about Yahtzee XD he doesn't take bribes if he hates the game and oh boy does he hate alot of game's he will tell you why XD its why he hates doing COD reviews
I have not touched this game for almost 5 years.
I still sometimes have anxiety-fueled nightmares about trying-and often failing-to avoid the Xenomorph as it hunts me.
Wow, two game Yathzee like in two weeks, what's happening ? AAA industry is actually learning from their past errors ? Is it the end of the world ?????
Aaaannnddd,evil within ruined it.
Weeeell, at least what gameplay is concerned apparently. The entire marketing strategies are still shit.
mackenzie purnell hey look survival horror is making a come back- aaaand its gone
I'm from the future and have to tell you, they didn't learn from their mistakes and the world did not end, yet.
Alien isolation is one of my fav games ever. Im real glad he liked it
Only just finished this game last weekend, was fucking terrifying.
The drawing of the alien is so fucking adorable!!!
Ok this is my chance for first.
2nd!
FUCK
