In the case of TEIN though I was like... Yeah, the point is the challenge of each section because the mechanics are fun. The girlfriend on SMB didn't really matter, who cares about collectibles, the point is The Game.
In case anyone was curious, the words on Yahtzee's giant bag at 4:40 literally mean "the random crap." There, I put my Bachelor of French degree to good use and saved you the trip to google translate.
Hahaha! True story: my dad lost all the canon balls during one session when he and his friends were laying on the floor playing pirates while me and my brother stood shocked watching them behave like 5 year olds.. In other words that pirate ship was awesome!
Dwarf fortress and Aurora 4X are known for having a difficulty overhang as well, though I can attest that DF's curve flattens out considerably at the top, though it does still menace with the occasional spike.
This is exactly the problem I had with End is Nigh. It wasn't "fun" hard like Isaac, Meat Boy, Dark Souls, Darkest Dungeon etc are, it was "Bullshit" hard.
Highly disagree, I 100%'d all 4 Dark Souls games 100%'d the first Isaac game and Rebirth and also Meat Boy. I'm now working on The End is Nigh and am already quite far. There are absolutely some achievements that are near impossible to get.. but the main game and about 95% of the entire game is super do-able if you try well enough. There is literally zero bullshit anywhere, it's pure skill and the only thing that kills you is you. If anything, Isaac is 100x more bullshit considering how random things can be.
Personal skill being relevant to enjoyment is purely an opinion though. Because to me being skilled at a game means I am having fun, I don't enjoy relaxing easy games at all where I am not being challenged.
I can understand why people like it. Hell, I actually like Darkest Dungeon despite how controversial its extreme difficulty has become. But the thing is, I just couldn't get into End is Nigh. As Yahtzee says, the pickups and unlocks aren't nearly as numerous, variable and rewarding as Meat Boy's were, and I just wasn't having fun with it. But I AM happy for you that you were able to enjoy it.
If you look at your comment, that's it, it is the difficult "hard", the hook to play the game, stare one moment and think, what's the deal with the end is nigh, if it were an easy game, there, in your point of see, you will say that the game is boring, easy, bullshit and all of those things. I'm a fucking shit at english xd, i tried my best
I remember that pirate ship. I had one complete with the spring loaded cannons and sail. I had to use balled up tin foil as cannon balls as I lost them all within 2 days. I kept them in one of the little slide lock treasure chests.
Well I mean you did say some very very bad words there. Think the punishment was justified for such a potty mouth. BUT! we can all think of it as a learning experience. BOTW is great and if you wish to keep your legs intact and go down the stairs the nice way you shall agree~
I had one of those pirate ships as a kid, loved them except for the metal anchor that if you stepped on was basically like falling into a Vietnam booby trap
Yonder is one of several games that have come out recently that tries to put farming and exploration into a single game for some reason. "Here, a ship and islands to explore, now sit in one place or else your carrots will rot". Minecraft has a bit of that going on too, though in theory nothing is stopping you from erecting a new house/fortress with a farm every few miles and making exploration a bit of an urbanization quest too.
Due to the formatting of the title, it looks like he's reviewing a game called "The End Is Nigh and Yonder," which is actually more interesting than the sum of its parts imo.
NOT FIRST!!! :-) That was actually really good. I loved your statement about needing to know what to do with the items. I often feel that way in open world crafting games.
its like some kind of life metaphor, you build and build and then what? What these games are missing is your character should die after 80 in game years and then the exe deletes itself.
You ask for explicit consent, almost killing the mood, then have awkwardly rough sex like a spring-wound mechanical animal, gradually slowing down until you both feel like you're being watched and judged, you both fail to orgasm, you say...okay this is boring...and she runs off crying and locks herself in the bathroom, and you start playing this game to distract yourself from the WTF moment that just happened.
For me Yonder is more of a "tick every box" game. Unlock every farm. Clear all the murk. Finish every area. Find every cat. I have the sort of brain that revels in completing meaningless and mechanically unsatisfying objectives as long as the game pats me on the back and gives me visual proof that I did the things. Also it cute and laid back.
I find it funny that he keeps complaining about millennials considering he is actually complaining about Zoomers and is actually a millennial himself as he was born in 1983, the first year of that generation
The end game of yonder cloud catcher is that you clear away all the murk, and restore the ancient kingdom as you are the rightful heir to the throne of spirits
Ignore this revolutionary rabble rouser. The monarchy provides stability. All of the foolish complaints of commoners are irrelevant and will be ignored. The tsar will reign.
@KGBear that's only from the year 1444 onwards, before that the tsar was a magical immortal horse wearing a hat. And everyone loved him because he REINED for so long. Can't lose stability with an immortal ruler.
Sounds like a parody of the SpaceBalls bit; "Where the hells the end!?" "Nigh." Its "nigh" sir. The end is "nigh." "But what happened to yonder?" "We passed yonder." "When!?" "Just now. We're at "nigh," now." "Go back to "yonder"!" "When?" "Nigh!" "I can't." "Why!?" "We just missed it." "When!?" "Just nigh." "... When will "yonder" be "nigh"? "Soon."
Yahtzee, please review Slime Racher, a game that's basically a first person Harvest Moon with an open world to explore and slimes replace animals. And like Harvest Moon, you can have a daily routine. My routine is I harvest my crops for a couple of days so I can explore without worrying that my slimes are starving, then return to my ranch and sell all the plorts, which are slime shits, on the galactic market because apparently these shits can be turned into materials for construction, energy, weapons, and food. There's more to do than that but I'll let you figure it out on your own. Please like if you want Yahtzee to review Slime Rancher
"At least Sisyphus was getting regular excerise" is the best couter to "difficult for the sake of it" that I've heard so far
*counter
Proofreading is a bitch.
And to think now you can give Sisyphus nectar in Hades

My hero
the hero we need but don't deserve.
Except merde means shit. So its random shit.
Thank you random citizen
It's similar enough to Portuguese for me to understand in my mother tongue.
“Elbow deep in colon like the sorter at a punctuation factory.”
Holy shit, this writing is god tier.
I'm sleepy and thought it was one game called "The End Is Night and Yonder" at first and thought that this must be the most artsy game ever 😅
The End Is Here And Also Over There
Hahaha! True story: my dad lost all the canon balls during one session when he and his friends were laying on the floor playing pirates while me and my brother stood shocked watching them behave like 5 year olds.. In other words that pirate ship was awesome!
Ahh, nostalgia
"Maggie's freshlu snatched milk" omg that's gold
I have a feeling that the pirate ship-choking hamster thing was real.
"Low barrier for entry." Hoho, jesus that's savage.
Difficulty overhang.
Don't fucking give them ideas, Yahtz.
It's just the natural evolution of the learning curve overhang
That was already done with Eve in its first few years
Dwarf fortress and Aurora 4X are known for having a difficulty overhang as well, though I can attest that DF's curve flattens out considerably at the top, though it does still menace with the occasional spike.
Getting blue plates in Tribes...
Yeah, you travel back in time and as you do, it gets harder and harder. Once you reach the past, it stays the same, really hard, difficulty.
"Squashy Blob of flesh."
That is a mighty low opinion of internet superstar Rich Evans.
Glad that this is the first thing my newborn laptop sees. I'm sure I'll cherish this memory forever.

TSFF18 Stop comparing Isaac to hard games

I'm a fucking shit at english xd, i tried my best
The bit about the toy pirate ship made me laugh out loud. I had one like that as a kid, minus the guinea pig to helpfully find the cannonballs again.
I remember that pirate ship. I had one complete with the spring loaded cannons and sail. I had to use balled up tin foil as cannon balls as I lost them all within 2 days. I kept them in one of the little slide lock treasure chests.
Ooh, a Zero Punctuation Video!
What the fuck am I supposed to do with this?
LAUGH YOUR ARSE OFF.
Use [Zero Punctuation Video] on [Door].
It had no effect!
That last bit of wordplay was brilliant.
I think the issue with The End is Nigh is that it's chock full of secrets and hidden areas, really really hidden secrets and hidden areas.
I told my dad that I didn't think breath of the wild was that amazing and he broke my legs and threw me down the stairs, somebody help
show him Joseph Anderson's video on it. that's sure to help
I would, but I'm with your father on that one.
You deserved it
Well I mean you did say some very very bad words there. Think the punishment was justified for such a potty mouth. BUT! we can all think of it as a learning experience. BOTW is great and if you wish to keep your legs intact and go down the stairs the nice way you shall agree~
I told the same to my dad and he just beat me with jumper cables
I'm surprised there was no RedLetterMedia reference considering he made one in another episode and The End Is Nigh was voiced by Rich Evans.
i don't care for any review, i just come here for the jokes and fast talking, had a really good laugh ... never stop doing these videos, love it!
"and then I turn off the TV news" XD
I had one of those pirate ships as a kid, loved them except for the metal anchor that if you stepped on was basically like falling into a Vietnam booby trap
"Maggie's Freshly Snatched Milk" XD And that bit about the spring-loaded projectiles that the hamster chokes on! XD
The end is nigh, the end is nigh, fucking run away, the end is nigh...nigh.
Slime ranchers amazing btw. You know, if you like wasting countless hours doing absolutely bugger all. Which I do.

Zero Punctuation gets funnier each video! Keep up the good work! 😄
Nice to see Yahtzee's stopped taking his meds and The Voices Ocelot has made a return.
One of the funniest episodes of ZP in a while.
I really like your attachment (or references) to the French language!
Ahhh delightful! +1 for the Margaret Thatcher jab.
Due to the formatting of the title, it looks like he's reviewing a game called "The End Is Nigh and Yonder," which is actually more interesting than the sum of its parts imo.
I barely play video games anymore but I still watch Yahtzee for the writing.
2:33 Best part.
Punctuation joke on Zero Punctuation.
This is some meta shit.
NOT FIRST!!!
:-)
That was actually really good. I loved your statement about needing to know what to do with the items. I often feel that way in open world crafting games.
Wow, this video was amazingly entertaining - and thats by zero punctuation standarts!
I remember that toy pirate ship, I had one too.
RIP all pet guinea pigs and hamsters everywhere. ;-;
#WhatTheFuckAmISupposedToDoWithThis
#ucommentwithitbruh
Holocauxt just like the first time one has sex
but what the fuck am i supposed to do with the comment?
its like some kind of life metaphor, you build and build and then what? What these games are missing is your character should die after 80 in game years and then the exe deletes itself.

"At least Sisyphus was getting regular exercise" That's deep
I had that pirate ship; that thing was pretty cool.
I really like the intro for some reason.
That Maggie Thatcher cameo
The last joke was amazing!
It made me happy when you compared Yonder to Harvest Moon and Breath of the Wild, cuz that was the exact comparrison I was making while I played it xD
Particularly well written this one
That point where his voice starts to crack during the random crap rant makes this for me.
I quite enjoyed that last quip.
Thumbs up for name dropping my favorite band (0:30), and dumping on tv news (2:30) inside 3 minutes!
The first 32 seconds of this video relate with me on a near spiritual level.
I remember the playmobil pirate ship from my childhood...
As a sorter, that joke at the end was quite enjoyable.
In this age of video games, if we ever see one Zero Punctuation without a mention or visual of Dark Souls in it the world will implode.
With Maggie running the farm, the milk has BSE (mad cow)
"la merde aleatoire"... Its the little things that make me smille
Honestly after watching this I kind of want to check out Yonder now, it's catching my interest (plus it updates with new content).
I liked The End is Night more than Meat Boy just due to aesthetic, but I can see where he is coming from. To me they were both great.
It's really a great game, it just alienates a lot of people.
@@MochaRitz meaning the end is nigh? I can see that, sure
Thank you yahtzee, i really enjoyed this :D
I seriously think yahtzees writing is still getting better after all these years. Every ZP is really improving on average.
elbow deep in colon like the sorter in a punctuation factory may well be the funniest joke on the internet
I only have a cursory understanding of French from High School and Encore la Merde excited some long dormant neurons and made me laugh.
For me Yonder is more of a "tick every box" game. Unlock every farm. Clear all the murk. Finish every area. Find every cat. I have the sort of brain that revels in completing meaningless and mechanically unsatisfying objectives as long as the game pats me on the back and gives me visual proof that I did the things. Also it cute and laid back.
"Exploration Game" and "Farm Sim" CAN mix well, it's called Rune Factory (also known as "not boring Harvest Moon game").
Haven't watched the whole video yet, but by the start it looks good!
Yes more Yahtzee!
Jake Marchbank j
That news joke was pretty good.
2:51 i saw that kind of boots on /fa/ way too many times
God damn, this is the funniest episode in a long time!
I was looking forward to getting Yonder, I was really hoping there'd be a story.
I find it funny that he keeps complaining about millennials considering he is actually complaining about Zoomers and is actually a millennial himself as he was born in 1983, the first year of that generation
The way you feel about The End is nigh is the same way I feel about Dark Souls.
I didnt notice you uploaded this on my birthday ._.
Yonder : A game where you Wonder what to do with the new shit that you acquired
Wow! a waffle stomp joke, never thought I'd see that pulled off. Lol
The end game of yonder cloud catcher is that you clear away all the murk, and restore the ancient kingdom as you are the rightful heir to the throne of spirits
"What the fuck am i supposed to do with this"
OVERTROW THE TSAR MY COMRADES
Ignore this revolutionary rabble rouser. The monarchy provides stability. All of the foolish complaints of commoners are irrelevant and will be ignored. The tsar will reign.
FEBRUARY WAS A LIE ALL POWER TO THE SOVIET
How come the monarchy provides us an stable country if everytime the current ruler dies we lose 1 stability
+MeingroessterFan No, this are real life.
@KGBear that's only from the year 1444 onwards, before that the tsar was a magical immortal horse wearing a hat. And everyone loved him because he REINED for so long. Can't lose stability with an immortal ruler.
And then I turned off the news. Very funny. Thanks
My heart goes out to every child whose milk was snatched by Maggie.
I quickly read this title as "The End is Nigh and Yonder."
So the end is close and also overthere?
Sounds like a parody of the SpaceBalls bit;
"Where the hells the end!?"
"Nigh." Its "nigh" sir. The end is "nigh."
"But what happened to yonder?"
"We passed yonder."
"When!?"
"Just now. We're at "nigh," now."
"Go back to "yonder"!"
"When?"
"Nigh!"
"I can't."
"Why!?"
"We just missed it."
"When!?"
"Just nigh."
"... When will "yonder" be "nigh"?
"Soon."
0:12 I'm going to guess you didn't look at the news that day
I mean for direction it's better to use a common compass you know?
Why are we still here, just to suffer?
Screw that, i'm gonna procrastinate on the internet instead.
Hey! I had that exact same Playmobile ship!
boot animation was great
Your videos are always hilarious
Also that opening joke made me laugh out loud, replayed it like four times.
Sounds like Yahtzee has some childhood trauma involving a guinea pig and some Playmobil.
Yonder "Eugh" the cloud catcher chronicles
Fantastic reviews!
your intro almost came true last night
I thought the whole title of the video was the title of a single game. The End is Nigh and Yonder (huh!) The Cloud Catcher Chroniclesn
And just what would _you_ know about a *punctuation* factory ? 😂
"now you have a whole brain cell of me saying that"
lmfao
R.I.P. Yahtzee's Guinea Pig...
2:33
Ha.
A turd stamped through a shower drain? So you're a fan of Pat's Dark Showers methodology then too
Yahtzee, please review Slime Racher, a game that's basically a first person Harvest Moon with an open world to explore and slimes replace animals. And like Harvest Moon, you can have a daily routine.

My daily route is SCIENCE and laugh at my lonely imprisoned racoon slime slave jumping at me with glee as I feed him fruits n stuff
No,all the adorable slime will get zahtzeefied ,and I don't want to see that
Harvest Moon + Breath of the Wild. Okay, I'm buying it.
If Yahtzee thought this was hard he needs to play Cloudberry Kingdom
A super meat boy that hates me even more ?? I'm in
