*Yahtzee*: "Sprawling over like an incestuous farming cult."
*Ubisoft Employee*: Write that down. Write that down.
03:45 lol
"You don't fuck around in my 100 acre wood"
That was the slickest winnie the poo reference ever. Smooth shit yahtzee
"The land before plots" fucking brilliant line
Wait, there's a way to turn gathering animations off now? This has to be the most innovative thing ubi has done in a long time.
+Roboterpunk serious i wish i knew about it before i beat it
+Roboterpunk Far Cry 4 already had that option.
As someone who is about to beat FC4 after 50+ hours of gameplay, I find this depressing.
You could say it's "iconic".
Funny how some people rush through games so much that they don't even check out the settings that you are forced to look at anyways when you start the game 😇
You gain the ability to drop bombs from your owl.
Man... I never thought I would ever hear this sentence.
You will again in the gritty Harry Potter reboot coming in 2023.
Dropping bombs from your owl is a code word for "My bird needs to shit."
@@thegooseinator9614 We have a prophet here.
I’m genuinely impressed at how the developers at Ubisoft Montreal went so far as to study and attempt to resurrect a dead language. Protoindoeuropean.
I am not surprised that somewhere someone was really passionate about reviving dead languages and ubisoft just approached them like a suspiciously wealthy furry would an unemployed art major.
The PIE people were perfectly advanced as far as lifestyle goes though, we even know what kind of doors they used on their houses due to how the plural shows up in comparative linguistics.
"After several rounds of traps, spears and throwing smaller tigers at it" ........ this one got me
Fun fact: the languages spoken by the tribes in primal are actually just three different dialects of Proto-indo-European, the language that almost all European and Indian languages are descended from
I like that the blood turned brown, because that what blood does when it dries up.
Youd think that the prehistoric would be an amazing setting to use the fear of the unknown because all sorts of crazy monsters could be lurking in each bush, but then you press B and get a list of every predator in the game which turn out to be a bunch of boring cats and dogs you could encounter in any other game
「Look over here!」 well the game has most predators that existed in that time period, so unless you wanted dinosaurs or aliens, your complaint is not valid
It even has a few that didn't exist in that time period. And you can't tame all of them, there's plenty of predators that aren't on that list.
Hey, a FarCry Primal video that isn't sponsored by Ubisoft!
+Mr. Lowell Yathzee saves the day again.
+Mr. Lowell I take it you didn't see Totalbiscuit's.
+Mr. Lowell I take it you didn't see Totalbiscuit's.
I take it you have Alzheimer's
The gameplay seems a bit primitive
awwww yeahhhhh
+Michael Aiyedun Oh you.
+Michael Aiyedun badum tshhh
DAT PUN
fuckin awesome!!
"Getting straw all over the place" sounds like a Wizard of Oz porn parody line
blowjon
+The Critical Geek It's a joke on the "Straw man argument"
gamma7897
I know. I know.
"Oh God Mr Scarecrow, you're filling me with straw! Oh god I can feel your warm straw filling my haybale. Oh YES!"
+Zerpderp0 You had to go there. Ever actually been near hay? It's sorta like grass needles.
"You're getting straw everywhere" was amazing
Create a base, a group of collectables, and an enemy base to destroy. Now copy 20 times, change the item/layout a bit, and spread them around. OPEN WORLD MAP DONE
+SteelBollocks who tought being a game designer could be so easy!
+SteelBollocks Yeah, they basically just pump out Far Cry and Assassin's Creed games on a conveyor belt. Shitty quality, no imagination, no time for the programmers to polish the game and for the designers to cook something cool up. Mediocre at best.
The worst part is: people actually buy this crap.
"There. I win the argument. Now piss off, you're getting straw all over the place." I really like how you added in that straw-man argument joke.
+birdmanbob05 That was the joke. He was joking that he was creating a straw-man, which makes the situation not ironic. That is the self-deprecating humor we've come to expect from him.
+Deimos kai Aischylos In fairness, acknowledging that you're doing something stupid doesn't make it less stupid.
+Billy Weed however if it is for comedic reasons it makes it rather smart
Oh wow look at the (ironic?) weeb subtly showing that he understands the joke and wants everyone to know. A gold star for you! Now run along back to first grade kiddo.
AppleJooc Park What talking to me?
I remember when i watched this on the escapist last week, the ad was for primal and was 30 seconds of face cam lets players screaming about how cool it is you can have a wolf. Needless to say I reinstalled ad block.
Woodsy i freaking HATE ads like that. Especially when they're about mobile games. I hate mobile game ads in general though... Twice as much as i hate normal ads.
@@masterofnone9457 but have you heard of Raid Shadow Legends?
@@Soridan Oh God don't remind me.
"Let's play Raid: Shadow Legends."
No let's take Raid *hurgh* Shadow Legends and shove it up your arse!
How's that going for ya nowadays?
Spend three trials trying to down a damage sponge beast - only to tame and use it and see it get rekt after THREE HITS?!
Welcome to Ubisofts diminishing returns policy.
If anyones curious, the reason he sounds like Adam Jenson reading aloud from a Scandinavian phrase book is because it's the same voice actor.
So yes, it is Adam Jenson reading aloud from a Scandinavian phrase book
The Udam eat the Wenja and the Sunwalkers enslave them... seems like pretty good reasons to oppose them to me
The reason takkar sounds like Adam Jensen is because it's the same voice actor
+da fallout fan Wow! No wonder I like Takkar's voice XD August cant come soon enough!
+KASUALKILLAS it actually made me sad hearing it. not too fond of Jensens voice. one of only a few true negatives I found with the game (mainly that, and the lack of a silenced sniper outside of DLC). so hearing him pull out an awesome performance is a bit bittersweet. x3
i dont care for jensen's voice in deus ex, because he seemed too cold for a modern human being, especially in contrast with every other person in the plot, but he works oddly well as a caveman.
Toilet paper is a fickle mistress. I got in touch with my inner self due to one ply TP
+Nicolas Jaramillo There is no one-ply, there is only fold your own ply.
+Nicolas Jaramillo
The Japanese use water sprouts to wipe their ass.
A much nicer alternative to rubbing rough paper against the poor thing.
+Templar Assassin tfw all on youtube are sheep
69th like...
Set in Europe? It uses the same map as Far Cry 4 and that was set in the Himalayas.
+Dandy_DNA Well Central Europe, near the Alps I guess. Stil lthat doesn't look very Alpine if you ask me XD
+Dandy_DNA It doesn't matter what map it uses, lore-wise that doesn't determine where it's set.
Aesahethr
This is some strikingly identical geography...
Dandy_DNA
Of course it's identical, they re-used the map. But that has nothing to do with where the game is set. The map's topography is a development thing, not a lore thing.
+Dandy_DNA Or they were too cheap to design a new map, or it was originaly planned by someone to both games to happen in the same place but something (or someone) fucked up
I think you missed the best part. The fact that as always the main female character needs to be pretty (sanity not included) thus leaving you looking at her oddly white teeth. Seriously she looks like she not only has modern dental care but uses it to the point of obsession.
As someone who lived there for 15 years, the combination of the word 'Doncaster' and 'lush new territory' may be the funniest joke Yahtzee has ever made.
Takkar is a fookin donny soldier
Those straw man and winnie the pooh references were amazing!
The funny thing is the Shadow Warrior remake had better melee combat than this game and it was primarily an FPS.
oh Christ that thermostat comment was painfully relatable. it's 50 degrees out and I'm wearing 4 layers, a blanket and gloves. it's colder in here than it is outside
"Ya don't fuck around my *my* Hundred Acre Wood"
I've watched alot of zero punctuation as of late & I must say Yahtzee, your analytical precision is astonishing. Love your stuff sir.
Can't wait for the first expansion: Far Cry Composite
(That's for all you math nerds)
Oh wow...
+brainflash1 ugh xD
+brainflash1 You sure it's not dirt, because that's just as likely.
+brainflash1 **throws up**
sounds shite
I think this is the first Far Cry Primal related video i've watched that wasn't paid for by Ubisoft
ITS FUNNY BECAUSE UFISOFT IS PAYING RUclipsRS TO UPVOTE THE GAME
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Funny thing is is that's literally true for me. Ironic part is that by seeing freakin every other youtuber advertising it I strongly DON'T want to buy it as a result
Primal was my first Ubisoft collectathon style game and ai thought it was great. Just need to space these out once every 4 years or so.
I'm sick of all the "Hunter Vision" shit they put in games. I played Arkham games 80% of the time in detective vision. I don't even have to find things, game just shows them to me. lol
"I played 80% of the time in the special vision mode"
I scratch my head when people say that. How? I can barely see anything when that's turned on
+Jordan Jolivette What? There's no penalty for using it. I can see everything. I'm sure only thing you can't see during it is the counter thing.
No matter what game I'm playing the screen is always so dark I can never see where the hell im going
+Jordan Jolivette Is the light from the window shining on your screen by any chance? Cause then yeah.
Hunter vision modes are annoying. They ruin the graphics of the game.
What so wrong with having the character just highlight objects?
I honestly don't get where the fun is in these modes. It's always an annoyance.
I only remembered that Assassins Creed Rogue even existed because of that singular picture at 3:46.
Seriously. It's the first time anyone has mentioned it after the trailer.
I feel like it was overshadowed by the AC Unity train wreck, and then in the end was just a slightly improved Black Flag with a very forgettable plot. I mean christ I even 100%ed some of the stuff and I still barely remember the game.
Imo, Rogue was a great AC game and a good Open World game. Have a great story, great protagonist and varied landscapes. Is pretty similar to BF, i know, have issues, but is fun to play. At least is miles better than Buggity...
That Influenza joke really fucked us over. Thanks there, Yhatzee
This was one of his funniest in awhile
Best part of it was him saying that he had to review every single game and that this game was driving him to poke his eyes out
Someone working at ubisoft heard the incestuous farming cult joke, thought about it, and thus Far Cry 5 came to pass some time later
That straw joke was amazing.
"You don't fuck around in my 100-acre wood!" xD
I can't stop laughing.
Mee too, It is hilarious.
Used the sabertooth all the time when I got it. It usually killed quite efficiently. They weren't fast hunters though.
Waiting an hour for a 29 second ad to buffer so i can wait another for the video to buffer too. Thanks Virgin Mobile.
people still have that?
brokenmoney13 Have what?
I feel your pain. Net10 is the same T-T
There's a poem for that.
I can stand the ads,
I can stand the buffer,
But when the ads buffer
I start to suffer.
+Bliffity Beautiful.
I actually love Primal. But then again, I love it for the same reasons most people seem to hate it. It got rid of all the "story" stuff in previous Far Cry games. I mean, I have my complaints, sure, but I'm a simple man. All I care about is running around and hunting shit. I mean, what else were we to expect with this one? lol
+Professor Who
I'm a fan of all the story stuff, but Primal made everything useful. Even after you crafted everything there was still incentive to gather resources for your weapons and recipes. In 3 and 4 hunting became pointless once you crafted everything.
It'd be nice if they used 4's outpost resetting and allowed you to replay missions though. Not much to do after everything is collected.
@@EternalDahaka They do have an outpost reset option. It's in the options somewhere.
@@QwertyuiopThePie
It does, but you had to clear _every_ outpost any time you wanted to use it, which is how Far Cry 3 worked. Far Cry 4 gave you the ability to reset the outpost as challenges.
Do you? I'm pretty sure I saw the option in my menu long before I'd cleared all of the outposts, and it wasn't grayed out or anything.
@@QwertyuiopThePie
I forget if it was grayed out or not, but if you tried to use it it would tell you you had to clear all the outposts first.
Love the "we don't fuck around in the hundred acre wood" line
This channel raises good points and is funny.
"a caveman that sounds a bit like Adam Jensen"
gee, I wonder why !
+lefr33man I think I know why! Adam voiced the caveman during his time before he was working for Sarif Industries, right? :)
I never borgen for shorgen
-See, life isn't easier with pants and boots?
-I never asked for this.
+TheLiosoul I'm a caveman and I'm offended
i haven't watched any of zero punctuation in a while and now i'm just wondering why the hell i stopped because he's still one of the funniest reviewers out there
"Deploy a giant bear" is one of the best phrases I've ever heard of
Haha, this was one of the funniest Zero Punctation I have watched.
got the game a few days ago and i've been enjoying it. i know what to expect from far cry so i've been pretty happy with it. all the points in this video are valid, though, and i can see where some people wouldn't be happy with this. i love the basic far cry formula, though, and...yeah. happy with my purchase!
that last joke was just stabbingly great
When I first saw gameplay from this I cried far. As in my tears are now somewhere near Alpha Centauri.
Far Cry Primal: Flintstones DLC - stab someone with a bird, he turns to the camera and says "He always did like to get to the point."
The best.
The game could have just been a dlc for far cry 4 , in that case the game would have been fine
Get out. No one wants to help your settlements
+Preston garvey if only the game would have let you help your settlements...
they should have done the same thing like blood Dragon
a 15€ game with 4-5 hours of gameplay
+Preston garvey Every Bethesda game is the same as well yet they get a pass because reasons.
+krish698 THANK YOU! I was beginning to think I was the only one. Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, FO3, FO:NV, and FO4 are literally the same game. The FO series more so than ES.
3:37 if you read the plot then you'd understand that the one you do for yoggi are to improve your hunting syringe and the plot based mission is procceded by you being blown hallucinogens by a demon lady
I don't know why, but the phrase "scouting owl" always makes me laugh
Actually I wouldn't mind if they released new sequels for my favorite games that were completely the same and just more. I mean you can only play the game so many times till you have mapped out every bit of dialogue and bit of loot to be found (for me its 3 times).
Can we talk about how fucking perfect Far Cry 3 was?
Perfect enough that I still play it
+SpamReciever420 Nah. It was good, but nowhere near perfect. Half of the fun of Far Cry games is being stealthy and observing a camp before you attempt to take everyone out. In Far Cry 3, holding still for longer than 10 seconds somehow immediately put a 'tastes like bacon' sign above your head for any and all hostile wildlife to rush you. Also, Far Cry 3's intro was pretty lackluster. I can't take a gritty intro sequence seriously when your brother somehow kills a guard by pulling him into the outside of your cage. He didn't strangle him, stab him, break his neck, etc., he just pulled him. And compared to Far Cry 2, the protagonist in Far Cry 3 is a complete douche.
Was there a lot of fun to be had? Yes. But the game certainly had its issues.
+IAMTHEJUGGERNATE Maybe that guard had heart problems and died of shock.
+SpamReciever420 Oh sure, if you like repetitive clear base/hunt animal/repeat gameplay combined with a story that had exactly zero characters you cared about, much of it made no sense, and... and.. pixel boobs... BEST GAME EVER
+SpamReciever420 Perfect? ehmm.. good, yes but perfect? What was so perfect in that game? Lame boss fights? Easy stealth system? Cheating AI? Same quests structure over and over again? Boring, bad written main character and the story overall ? Etc..
Watching this only 6 years later and am now dying to try this owl bomb combo he talked about 🤣🤣🤣 also what he said was true and unfortunately the big shield dudes kill your animals really quickly
These are so so perfect:D
The best notification every week.
02:34
I'm in friggin tears!
+Marcus Allen thats funny im literally reading Shakespeare as an assignment for a class
+Blake the radical “Super OP” Gamer Really? You're not reading him as some sort of in(s)ane allegory or metaphor or what have you? Neat.
(The joke is that you said "literally", and I pretended that I thought your use of that word was meaningful. :P)
blarg2429 no really we are just finishing up hamlet
Blake the radical Gamer 'Kay then.
+Blake the radical “Super OP” Gamer That makes it even funnier
1:30 Holy shit I live their lol!
*there
+FloSo Antonibro I won't lie, this is me when I correct my own grammar.
+Enjoku Espada under-appreciated coment
+Enjoku Espada this is "exactly" me
so do I!
''there i win the argument, now piss off you're getting straw all over the place''
that was amazing
"Now piss off you're getting straw all over the place" - Best insult ever.
I don't actually understand that insult can you explain it?
+ElectricEdgewave192 They're a Strawman
Blood Stained Erection is a nice name for a punk band.
That plot rant has to be my favorite rant ever.
The tiger interview made me laugh for a minute straight.
yes, it was well done. I would think the same if some game tiger failed me...
Even 4 bored me, and 3 is one of my favorite games.
I laughed when I saw 'Doncaster' at 1:30. I live 10 minutes from a suburb with that name.
+Carl Me too. I laughed very loudly and understood the connotation.
+amg4330 clearly you don't know where or what Doncaster is
I'm from Doncaster and he's got the description pretty spot on tbh
The only reasons to play this is 1) you like the theme, 2) you aren't burnt out on open world games, and 3) it's on sale.
I'll go with number 2
I liked Primal because I could be around sabre tooths, mammoths and rhinos, I actually found catharsis in just watching the animals, I was watching some woolly Rhinos drinking from a when a sabre tooth ran towards one and killed it and started eating it, and then one of the rarer rhinos charged him and broke his everything
Far Cray: Primal. Or as I like to call it, Ethnic Cleansing: The Game.
Madalin Grama What the hell did you expect from a game called "Ethnic Cleansing"? Sunshine and unicorns?
Madalin Grama
This is the Internet. Expect everything, because everything exists here.
My favorite time of the week.
I felt like how Primal distinguishes itself in that it is not greed or ideology you fight for, but pure survival in the case of the Udam, who hunt and eat the Wenja, or freedom from the Izila who enslave the Wenja. It felt really good completing tasks because each one helps my village to...well, not die. The motivation is built into the games mechanics and not just the cut scenes. Also, it is possible to play and hardly ever manually gather resources. The village provides some daily and some of the best components are in the finite and hidden leather sacks. Stick to looting just those and you can build pretty much everything.
Statement: "I liked Far Cry Primal"
Reasoning: "I haven't played any other Far Cry games"
I'm assuming you've played other Far Cry games since, so how did that statement age?
CrankBlack Hey you, are you finally awake?
@@jaxusr235 damn greenskins oh sorry wrong game
is it bad when he described the game it actually made me want to play it?
This reminds me of that optional bit in ME1 were if you toke the gift from the Asari on the citadel in the beginning then you could access a ruin that says your seeing yourself taking the place of a caveman fighting to keep you tribe alive. So if you get to that point in the game save, play all of this, then go back and you'll get the original concept.
oh god I did the exact same thing with the owl, only I don't even go into the bases anymore unless I want to. I just berserk the tough guys, bee bomb clusters who aren't going nuts and drop fire bombs on the few individuals left standing once the berserk wears off. then I light the bonfire with a damn firebomb dropped from the owl if its a bonfire spot and get perfect stealth. fucking hilarious.
weve had some problems with sabertooth in the past. some people lobbied to bring him back, thinking he deserved another chance. that was a mistake. sabertooth is an ass, and we wont be working with him again.
Mini Squidward he works fine for me you just got to know how to use him I guess
Takkar has the same voice actor as Adam jensen
+Shadow BeatZz Same voice actor.
+Tim Eklund Műntzing I know
My personal breaking the game experience was using common sense as to where to find the upgrade materials for the spear (I wonder where NORTH STONE is found??) And maxed it before i was even a quarter into the game. I then spent the rest of the game hurling spears at enemies snd one shotting them from the bonus damage the spear gets from throwing it and its overpowered damage.
From Doncaster, can confirm it still looks like that
I'm probably the only one who ignores crafting in any game. In DA: Inquisition I never even realised how crafting should work and frankly I did one slightly crappy something to get rid of the quest trying to teach me about crafting. In Witcher 3 I couldn't be bothered with collecting all those diagrams conveniently littered around the map, since by the time I could get past the monsters guarding them they were crappier than my starting gear. And I still don't understand why I needed specific animal hides for a better purse or bag in Far Cry 3. It's not like the size of the animal allows for bigger bags. I could make a pretty huge bag from a bunch of squirrel hides just as easily. As for purse, how big can a purse be?
+Bindair Dundat Crafting in most games is just a tedium and doesn't feel as rewarding as it could be. DA:Inquisition is a great example, I had no idea what the heck I was doing with the crafting, and at the end of the day the armour I had was already better than anything I could craft so why would I even bother?
Truly, the only games (that isn't crafting centric, e.g. Minecraft) I've ever had any sort of _use_ (not saying it was entertaining though) for crafting in has been MMOs.
i guess they nerfed Mr Angry whiskers.
Although Far Cry 3 was vastly better, I still had some good fun with it, especially with Permadeath mode. Also, Yahtzee; you can make the hunter vision longer/unlimited in the options menu.
That feeling when he doesnt know that the main characters voice actor..is the same guy that does Adam Jensen.
Uuuh... The other tribes have good reason to be hated they wiped out most of the Wenja. You would know that if you ever watched the very first cutscene. Also, the tiger only wipes out your hunting group, not the tribe
+Mad Miner Michael doesnt change the fact that the game is ass
+Tomas Canevaro Look at this turbonerd, I bet he doesn't even eat ass.
+commander9087 I prefer my ass marinated in soy sauce.
+JoshIsOneCoolKid Lot of people do that for some reason like it's mandatory to start off a sentence with "uh" or "um" if they're correcting someone.
+Mad Miner Michael "killing other people's tribes is bad, so I shall punish them for it by killing their tribe"
Can we all agree that the Zero Punctuation theme song is the best song in the history of RUclips?
no
+Elizabeth Stevenson The Super Best Friends Play opening would like to have a word with you.
+Elizabeth Stevenson Best song in general or best theme song? No way the best song in general, but I think Good Bad Flicks' outro song is pretty fucking amazing.
+Elizabeth Stevenson Jimquisition, NerdCubed's various themes.
+Elizabeth Stevenson
No? no. ProJared/Jontron theme is amazing.
Lol. The crafting procedure.
I have beef with the part at 4:49 -
You can totally chase him all the way back to his cave and capture/kill him within the first try of the great beast hunt, or you could (might have been updated/patched)
Also the owl op-ness was patched recently.
Still though, love the review.
Still a fun game.
eh
Connor Maruke meh
completely agree that they haven't managed to top Farcry 3. still one of my favourite games.
I come from 2023 to say that FC3 is still not only the best far cry but the best ubisoft game since the sands of time trilogy.
Hopefully Far Cry 5 manages to at least almost reach the level of Far Cry 3. I think the best part of that game that Ubisoft seemed to throw out was the interesting main character. The way Jason reacted through the game changing as he became more and more of one of the island's warriors.
Just don't kill the game's Vaas part way through
Best description of Doncaster yet.
I didn't get the straw man joke for so long
I don't get it now. Please tell me.
Techaxe a straw man is a argument technique in which someone makes up a fake character to strengthen their argument and Is usually over exaggerated
+Harry Howlett I think he didn't understand it in the context Yahtzee was using it for
I liked this game.
to be fair yahtzee, that is adam jensen reading aloud from a scandinavian phrase book. its the same voice actor XD
The first minute of this video could also apply to the Dark Souls franchise Yahtzee.
