Chris "fuck boulders" Redfield
loool so true
Wesker was "Redfielded"
Just made my day xD
I know right? That was genius!
k xD
Chris "Fuck Boulders" Redfield
Always makes me laugh
Never really got that.
what the hell does it mean
@terry haynes /watch?v=4xuXkVzBdJQ
He literally punches a boulder! :U
AND IT WORKED :U
"I approach most of my problems by founding my own city on the moon"
-Yahtzee Kerman
Why do I imagine something like that eventually making its way into a future (most likely spin-off) entry, where someone planned to start a space colony project as a safe haven isolated from the rest of the world, believing the constant biological catastrophes would spell mankind's extinction?
Only, for that whole outbreak thing being done there, more as an unknown act of sabotage.
Never thought i'd see a ZP review where i thought Yahtzee was too NICE.
His bomb proposition is something to be done in the Pokemon universe.
No hunting for ancient artifacts
No over-complicated plots to unleash uncontrollable deities that will eventually turn on you
No plucky 10 year-olds to fuck your terribly flawed schemes...
ECL28E and also that creepy realistic version of pokemon i saw on reddit
+ECL28E But all of those things were part of the Pokemon series from the get go.
pokemon x and y has a bit of that...gets foiled by a 16 year old ???? though. and lysandre actually partly succeeds blowing the shit out of a town when he activates the "totally not an allegory for the atomic bomb". also not all the game protags are 10. b&w1 they are thirteen and in b&w2 and X&Y they are about 16 ish but your point remains
I mean bombs are nice but if I wanna raise the land or sea or literally create new worlds, bombs are kinda voltorbs. Plus galactic used bombs and still failed
Didn’t team Galactic actually have a bomb that they used?
4:46 - 4:56
Beyond: Two Souls summed up in 10 seconds
3:50 "what the point of multiplayer socialising with other humans that's why I hate it" lol
Hissssss
Jokes on you Yahtzee. Capcom used their everything proof shield against all critical reviews and rereleased the game on PS4.
Time to grab the bike chain
How does something like this get brought to the PS4, but not portal 2?
William Keisler You deserve an award or a trophy or something
And then they did it again on the Switch!
See the review of duke nukem forever for the reason you're wrong
The smartest thing ever done in a resident evil game was the swift action taken with racoon city.
Hey, uh, Mr. President?
Yeah?
We... Uhh, have a biohazard situation in a rural city that is causing people to...
To what?
Well... To turn into zombies sir.
Zombies?!
Zombies sir.
Like 'undead monsters that eat people' zombies?
Yes sir.
Fuck that shit, fire a nuke at it!
What about survivors sir?
NUKE IT.
Well, alright.
Whole city was just written off as a loss in like 48~ hours without question
(Horror film spoiler) And even that was just lifted from the ending of 1985's Return of the Living Dead!
@@SomeIdiota you… SPOILED A FORTY YEAR OLD MOVIE!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It also kind of undermines Yahtzee's get-rich-quick scheme to introduce the Resident Evil universe to the idea of a really big bomb: "No thanks, we've already got those." "So why do you keep using the uncontrollable bioweapons?" "Better tax write-off."
@@SomeIdiota I was just about to watch that. THANKS 😳
"Redfielded". Can we try to make this into a real verb?
Sure but first we need to decide what exactly it's supposed to mean.
...Force someone into line, for better or worse, with utterly excessive force?
Sounds fitting.
How about, "To be utterly defeated by direct or indirect use of boulders."
RarefoilB I like that one!!
I swear, I want to go through all of his reviews just for the little animations at the end. Those are pretty great.
Chris "Fuck Boulders" Redfield. Win
"At least they're not being racist again!"
*Draws American person fat and Chinese person with slanty eyes and a cone hat*
"American" isn't a race
Hey it isn't racist if it's true!
Phenian Oliver that doesn't work either for varying reasons.
@@RG-fc7ht Maybe it doesn't work for you.
@@carolinethompson3328 its not bigotry as long as you point out the errors in their semantics!
You know, considering his standards and how overboard Yahtzee really is along with what he's actually talking about, this was a pretty generous review
Yeah... Something I dare say has kind of made him a bit big headed over time.
Chris brutalizing a boulder in RE5 was FUCKING HILARIOUS!!!😂
Totally agree about the pretend boss fights. The amount of times I wasted all my sodding ammo on one of them only to realise we were just waiting out a clock until something scripted happens and it bombards you with QTEs all of a sudden... then gives you a C rank for dying because you thought you were in a cutscene and suddenly it wants you to hit Space within half a second.
When he says "he wishes his character would jump up and down on the boss character a few times after they thought they killed it", there's a scene in one of the RE movies on an Umbrella secret oil tanker when after they think they kill Wesker, then they stand over him and empty clip after clip in his FACE, but he *still* gets away later...
That Ivan Drago reference made my day.
I think phoenix wright games are written well, and that was Capcom
The 6 on the box case looks like a woman blowing a giraffe.
I can't unsee it
my god
GeakGuySheldon
What has been seen man, what has been seen.
***** went and checked, can confirm. cannot unsee.
holy crap. it does.
I like how when flame wars start on yahtzee's videos, they:
-Never seem to end.
-Make little sense.
-The smarter of the two gets their comments upvoted to the top comments list.
so now that we got that resident evil 7 playable demo, you can tell the difference is obvious, it actually seems like its a horror game could capcom have finally learned a little and turned a new leaf? we will see
More importantly, it seems to have the elements that Yahtzee liked about RE4, a more narrow focus, a greater focus on characterization and it seems to only be vaguely connected to the its predecessors.
deathpyre42 okay so the games been out for a bit now and it doesnt really stay silent hill for long cause it eventually just turns into the first resident evil but in first person and i am still yet to see an actual zombie
Yeah kinda. Aside from Re3 remake
2:30 "Did I ever tell you about the time my buddy Kieth forgot to pay his tax return and started a zombies apocalypse?"
"What is the point of multiplayer? Socializing with other humans. Correct, that's why I hate it!" lol my thoughts exactly
I'm just gonna say that Capcom can write good plot occasionally in the interest of defending Ghost Trick, a game for the DS by Capcom whose plot (and gameplay) made me very happy.
i actually really enjoyed the quick time event fighting styles largely because during a quick time event you are immune to all forms of damage except explosives so if you and your Human partner take the medic class in mercanry mode to constantly buff each other stamina and health and fight in tandem you can actually kinda be FUCKING GOD DAMN INVINCIBLE, and frankly i do enjoy fist fighting bosses everyone else uses guns on.
Damn I hated wasting Magnum shots. Precious, precious Magnum shots.
I adore all of the Resident Evil games, every single last one, some more than others of course. RE1, 2, and 3 all have a special place in my heart since they are what started me in the whole zombie mayhem genre, so, those are more than likely my favorites. I know I'm not counting the others but there are so many of these games, go ahead and add in RE0, the outbreak files, umbrella chronicles, etc.. But upon meeting RE4, I felt a bit dumbfounded and was confused as if I had bought the wrong game, upon finding the first handful of enemies it still seemed a bit like good old Resident Evil because it was still mainly the survival horror and it was hard to maintain your ammo unless you consistently went for headshots and melee moves with strong weaponry, otherwise? It was still Resident Evil in the old aspects, even denying you of being able to buy ammo from the merchant that they implemented. When I first started I was slow and cautious, learning that there were actually traps in a good portion of places and it left me checking corners and the ceiling both.
I always dreaded being stuck walking for so long and fighting my way through everything, it left me tired for a while and the calm blue flame and gentle music filling my ears upon finding a merchant? Oh golly, it warmed my heart every time I saw the feint glow of the Merchant's torches, always enjoying a good save and a break from shooting baddies that jump out at you from every angle to just shoot targets that popped up at you instead! Even the mercenaries was a fun break so I could just let loose and make a dash to get the highest score I possibly could, I enjoyed RE4 a hefty amount and also was a big favorite to me.
If you're still reading this, I'm certain you're probably tired of me talking about something not relevant to RE6, well it is relevant, it just barely is.. Just going through and explaining my thoughts is all, and upon all of my love towards RE4, a ton of it was still shared in RE5 where I had a friend of mine to hold hands with all the way to the finish line, a bit disappointed that less was done with the merchant but more fun was to be had anyway, I consider it almost equal to RE4.
RE6 now, I of course dislike this one the most, taking away just the guy that sells and upgrades your guns is actually a really bad thing to do, why? Being allowed to buy your different guns allowed for a customization in a sense, as well as being able to don outfits that you earned for beating the game or getting some collectibles, it let you play like you! With RE6 taking just this away, it felt a bit bland to me and gave me almost no replay-ability. Yahtzee did indeed share about the agent hunt mode which is pretty damn good, but it could easily be so much more.. The creatures that you control are such a bitch to control in anyway that you attempt, no matter which one it is. RE6 has almost nothing going for it and I don't consider it to be too much horror, aside from Leon's campaign, why? The zombies are back, and with the dead comes the darker tone to the air, making it more scary than just having a gunfight with everything, I mean, you're a fucking bullet sponge in those, you take three shots and fall down, only to get back up and pop a tic-tac to feel better! Really?! Now, if you read all of this, I commend you and hope you feel the same as I do or have any questions, if so, feel free to ask.
Good points well thought out and explained arguments. It is nice to see people that there are people on the Internet who can actually express themselves in a logical way. Personally I can't take RE seriously enough to look at it as anything more than a fun action series with really ineffective horror elements. Granted i say almost the same about Deadspace so maybe I have been spoiled on more complex horror games such as the early Silent Hills, Fatal Frame and Rule of Rose.
GeakGuySheldon Absolutely, friend, Resident Evil was my first game I ever picked up and I enjoyed it, started playing when I was only eight and now I'm eighteen.
As long as you acknowledge that since RE4 there hasn't been much of a horror element executed successfully(Speaking on direct sequels only) in the RE series you are fine by my book.
Joseph Ford Absolutely, RE5 had very little horror in it if any, the only time I considered it gain even a little more of a slower darker tone was in 'Lost in Nightmares'. However, that is a DLC, meaning not everybody got to experience it and I don't exactly count that. RE6 was a little bit of the same, being Leon's campaign because that brought back the Zombies, but being so much faster than them because of missing the tank controls? Ehhh.. Not as threatening anymore, but at least it seems as though they tried, or maybe they didn't? All we can hope is they do better in the next Resident Evils, Revelations 2 didn't seem too promising to me when I watched it, gave off a bit of a co-op silent hill feel.
Seth Wulfstone Not only that revalations 2 will have 4 episodes. The game isn't even finished an there about to release the game seriously capcom wtf. Game looks worst than 3ds and its a next gen game and you expect us to wait a month for every episode and actually pay for each episode... man what has capcom been smoking these says. Just give revalations more time even another year polish it and give clares partner a gun for gods sake.
I did ok in the Leon section of the demo, but once it went to the Sherry Birkin part, I couldn't get past it and gave up because it was too hard.
Resident Evil 6 starring Laurel and Hardy would have made for a much better game than what we got!
You can use more than just the "ready-made" animations for communication. You can talk with microphones to coordinate your efforts. (but he said you can't) maybe that was back in the day.
the earth drinking clorax at 2:24 to kill itself fucking made me fall off my chair laughing!
3:30 - my father designed that logo on the top left :)
true story
@@Spartacus114 No one asked you, Teddy.
RE1: OMG Where's everyone? Better look around and see what's up? Umbrella's behind this...and Wesker?
RE2: OMG, the town's gone to sh*t! Better find out what's up? So...it was you who started it all?
RE3: OMG, the town's done for. Need to find a way out of here! Umbrella needs to be taken down.
RE4: Rescue the president's daughter. *Another terrorist group but at least it had a decent plotline.
---Resident Evil Games (1-4) that I think were actually good and had a decent plot you could follow and summarize in a few sentences.----
RE5: A reenactment of RE4, basically.
RE6: Now the world's gone to sh*t and for some reason, some...new...guy is trying to destroy the world....or something like that.
---Don't get me wrong I liked RE6, but I played everyone's story and can't see myself playing it again.
RE7: (Dreams), involves every main character in RE series and has a decent plot like actually stopping something without multiple campaigns, everyone gets to be involved. Please let the plot be good. :3
I liked 5, it's just I think it would have been better as a spin-off because of the emphasis on action and few horror elements.
Akay4444444444444444
Right...Because survival horror games are much better when turned into action boulder smashing games....Oh wait.
We can't call it a survival horror game. RE4 was close but with all the ammo Leon would need if he wanted his own army ...
Bound4Earth I never said it was much better than prior entries, I just said that I liked it. Resident Evil 5 is not a bad game, it just wasn't a good Resident Evil game.
Akay4444444444444444
Relax I was just trolling you
On of his best reviews!
Best line has got to be "Chris 'Fuck Boulders' Redfield!" XD
I must be the only person that likes this game. It was cinematic, it has awesome gameplay and graphics. The mobility was also the best: running, sliding and jumping back was pretty cool. And every character had different things that made them special, example: Jake's hand to hand and Leon's dual pistols.
Key Smith You're not alone, I love RE6 too. I've enjoyed most of the games in the series, but RE6 is one of my favorites. The controls are incredibly smooth and I just keep coming back to it. I know it's not just us. Some people I know have something like 1000 hours invested in the game because they think it and/or some of its DLC's are fun.
All the things you listed would'have been good if they actually worked. The game is a repetitive and dull pile of untested dump
Eh, it's decent enough if you don't take it very seriously.
+Key Smith do you work for capcom? is that why you like the game? or did you have a lobotomy?
"See: I know Capcom games are never well written."
*looks at the Ace Attorney series*
What about them?
Does that even count as a Capcom games?
I am pretty sure Ace Attorney was made by different group of developers.
Yeah, what about Edgeworth's game? Yeah, what about the final case in it? ;)
Yeah, I love how often umbrella deliberately releases the virus and it some how doesn't work out xD
Chris went from punching boulders in RE5 to riding the panda at the playground in this game
Nice transition Capcom
This guy just rips every game a new one. I love it.
Ace Attorney is well-written. In fact, it's one of the most well-written game series' ever...
He probably hasn't played it
onetruegentleman I wish he would review one just once.
Raysiclove maybe the new one coming out but jumping into a Phoenix Wright game that far in the timeline without playing anything else is a baaaaad idea XD
Ace Attorney is the exception
With the exception of the massive amount of typos
2:04 ROAD BORUDA DA!
I can't look at the box art without seeing a little duck now.
Some publications used to list the Resident Evil franchise as a Horror/Puzzle game (albeit some pretty weird puzzles). With the hope of a reboot squashed by the feces flinging chimps at Capcom, I better learn to like the new face of the franchise: Totally-Not-An-Attempt-To-Appeal-To-Angsty-Teenagers-And-Bro's... Evil.
***** The big lip alligator moment!
I decided to play RE6 for the first time last year, and it really does burn you out fast. 4 separate campaigns with 6 missions each an hour long of constant set pieces is too much for anybody.
Turns out you can! They're on the Escapist store!
I am surprised how long it took for you to reference that boulder scene from resident evil 5.
Leon is the best Resident evil protagonist.
I know he's complete cheese in Re4
but he's well voice acted and spat out the best one liners
Boring. I don't normally say that about games I play, but it didn't engage for me. Even with a second player in tow, it was a lot of linear corridors, slow walk sequences, and set piece boss fights that insta failed me because I didn't follow its instructions to the letter without telling me. Let's get another RE 4 that has a story people can follow for once.
I am going to play the entire series except the latest one this semester in college.
I started watching zp two months ago. How did it become a good half of my life?
Sir Librarian Been following him since 2008. The sky is turning yellow. Get out now
The video was very entertaining. It's funny to hear a proper "roast" of a game I like. RE6 is among my five favourite games of all time list.
Capcom has no good writing? OBJECTION!
Overruled
The writing in AA games are up and down for me. The puzzles and how they set up the cases are good, but the dialogue itself is, eh. I love the games though, mainly because it tries to set itself in Los Angeles but is obviously written by someone who has never been or seen LA.
And there was that really weird day (it was like the first or second day of the circus case) where it had a bunch of references to obscure french writers, for no reason whatsoever.
Actually according to one of diaries I read in game, I believe it mentioned that they did wear regular clothes but in their craze started wearing their villages traditional outfits
LMAO the same thing that landmines add to a romantic stroll by the river
Re6 is my biggest guilty pleasure game. It is so hilariously over the top and self serious that i had a grin on my face the whole time. Sure the quick time events, constant unavoidable ambushes, and walkathons were terrible but the core gameplay was surprisingly satisfying to be honest. Is it a bad game? Hell yes. Is it one of my favorite games. Yes, yes it is.
notice how when he said china and america, he made the american caricature fat.
A Real Catfish No it's caricature..
Why? It's a character
A Real Catfish No it isn't, its a caricature of an American.
Sorry but what is the dictionary definition of caricature?
a picture, description, or imitation of a person or thing in which certain striking characteristics are exaggerated in order to create a comic or grotesque effect.
"a caricature of Jimmy Durante"
synonyms: cartoon, parody, satire, lampoon, burlesque
I'm not actually familiar with his design work but I've seen an interview where he talks about it and I'm sure he's mentioned it in a ZP once
3:00
I was the only kid that played fair during those.
Chris didn't have a "new" backstory. There was a three year gap between RE5 and RE6. He was just leading a team of men in the BSAA, an organization he was a part of in RE5, during his campaign in RE6.
Leon a misogynist? Huh?
***** I am at a loss too. Perhaps Yahtzee is being ironic? I don't remember Leon being - or acting - misogynistic anywhere.
MarianoRyu Leon really isn't like that.
Evan Summerville - Which is why I'm asking if Yahtzee is being ironic here. :P
***** Yeah, I think that could be it. But really though Leon is a nice guy.
***** Not to mention, Leon being a pretty boy.
I died at the end
It makes sense that you can duck and roll, kick and struggle in this game. It makes the characters seem more like the highly trained operatives they're supposed to be, which I would often call into question in the earlier games.
But apparently they had to trade that sensibility for any potential subtlety. Just because they seem more competent, doesn't mean they should now star in Dawn of the Dead as directed by Michael Bay.
I for one deeply enjoyed Resident Evil 6. My interests evolved with the franchise since I realized it couldn't be perfect. Especially number 5, that was just a terrible game,
personally, I played 5 to the end, twice, but i couldnt force play RE6 for longer than two, 1 hour sessions. It is easily the worst resident evil game ever created
No, I feel Resident Evil 5 was much, much, much, MUCH worse. Resident Evil 6 is not as bad as people make it out to be. Not sure why they hate it so much.
I've played every resident evil game, other than the original and imo RE6 is by far the worst. at least RE5 had a seamless campaign. the way RE6 breaks the campaign up and let's you choose between them at the main menu was poorly done and broke all immersion. it was like they made 5 small games and mashed them together instead of making a single good game covering the characters different storylines. capcom deserves every harsh word that can be said about this game.
Not really, considering the gameplay wasn't a complete pile of poop like in RE 5. RE 5 was the worst story wise, gameplay wise, and just all around bad. Except the fact D.C. Douglas voiced Wesker, that fixes lots of hate for the game.
played PC version of RE5, cooperatively with a friend. had a great time, beat it twice. fired up RE6 on PC and wanted to cry at the pathetic excuse for gameplay they stitched together. i bet RE5 required twice the development time at least in comparison to RE6. RE5 is widely considered to be a superior game to RE6, every review venue agrees, metacritic, ign, gamespot, gamesradar, destructoid, etc
Resident Evil Six? More like Resident Evil Sux.
I would actually play a Resident Evil game where the surviving protagonists found their own city on the moon. It would be part management game, where you have to make sure everyone's needs are being met, and part action game where you occasionally have to go slap down anyone who tries to start making zombie bioweapons. If they succeed in making zombies, you lose.
I can't remember how many times i got fucking pissed off at this game when i was against a boss, i ran out of ammo, broke some crates and got some sweet Skill Points instead of those overrated bullets. So during the final boss fight during Chris campaign, the NPC partner did the majority of the work.
Ya how the developers expected you to defeat zombies without ammo is mind blogging
Well I liked this game :/
Play the game again. I'll bet you hate it now.
HOW WAS RE5 RACIST?!?
It wasn't, a bunch of idiots claimed it to be because it was in Africa
Zack Johnson THEY DIDN'T DEPICT ALL AFRICANS THAT WAY! THAT WAS ONLY IN THE MARSHES WITH THE NATIVE TRIBES WHICH EXIST! IN FACT, OVER HALF THE GAMES HAD NORMALLY DRESSED AFRICANS!
Mash Prompts I think that one button, underneath tab, on the left side of your keyboard is broken. You should check that.
If it was broken I wouldn't be able to use it.
opiateofthemasses Dude what is up your ass? I responded to your comment in a sarcastic manner because my prior comment had nothing to do with you. I don't understand what the hell makes me easily offended being that your comment wasn't hurtful just dumb. I don't honestly believe you were giving me the benefit of the doubt, I think you were trying to make a joke not expecting a reply and it came back on you. I don't understand what my age has anything to do with using all caps to express frustration. I'm not the first person to fucking do that! Oh a 'your mom' joke how necessary! Yeah I get it it's like sex right? It seems more likely for you to be a teenager being that you used "your" when you should have used "you're". Think the next time you talk shit about subjects in which you have nothing to point to in terms of evidence.
Nice Yahtzee Takes on the World reference
Why do I laugh everytime I watch one of these videos?
Sounds like the RE series isn’t really for you if 4 was the only good one.
He did like RE7 and the RE2 Remake.
have you ever been playing a game and you just keep playing and get into a mood where you are just so into it that you become a immersed? it's kinda like that, the game feels natural so it becomes more imersive as a result
Incidentally, Resident Evil 3 had a different subheading in Japan, "Last Escape". Jill dramatically title drops it in the opening, but we westerners didn't know that because the subheading wasn't the same.
The most likely reason they didn't change it is because all of the original audio for Resident Evil games (and Devil May Cry games, which are from the same producer) is voiced in English to begin with, so they didn't have to record a separate track for western audiences.
that chris fuck boulders redfield joke was the best part of the video
What about an Everything-Proof Shield Disabler? The Proof part of the name suggests it effortlessly repels **attacks**.
I agree with Yatzee aside from the quick time events. I found them really easy and I've come to the convolution he just can't press a button within a certain amount if time xD Mario party must have been hell for him.
2:30
"Did I ever tell you about the time me and my buddy Keith went to the moon? Yeah it was pretty nice only one time he forgot to file his tax returns. Boy was that crazy, y'know? I love horses."
[/ellis]
I cant even imagine what you would be like "coked up"! Lolz
Haha! Bicycle pumps? That's a new one. I like it.
Now every time I play Mercenaries in this game as Chris, I spend the whole time knifing and throwing J'avo halfway across the stage screaming "Chris-Fuck-Boulders-Redfield!!!"
I think you have made this 15th Zero Punctuation vid totally worth it...besides Yahtzee
Damn you! Now I can't unsee it!
Love how you're naming countries and then fuckin' New York pops out.
Hilarious.
lmaooooo @ Chris "FUCK BOULDERS" Redfield
Here, take this bicycle chain too. I found it somewhere behind a shed and a beaten up kid.
WHAT A STROKE OF BRILIANCE!
that is exactly what i said last year some people still think there in the 50s
3:00 I'm glad I wasn't the only one.
This essentially is the same as for the Ultima series when the avatar asks what's a paladin?
can someone turn out the lights? *holds up lead pipe*
one of the best things about resi 4 was that it had nothing to do with the previous 3 with the exception of the name
Fuck... That has to be one of the most brutal reviews I've heard on RE6.
"Dyalogg riter"
Fuckin' gold
My sub box is full of Escapist aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!
That BF4 Axe commercial is so unrealistic, you'd be dead long before you even start to get out of your tank
Well, that would be effective, but what would we do with the bent lead pipe afterwords?
Here, take this paintbrush, poke his eyes out, and use it to paint a picture to hand into an art museum!
Love your username.
Hahaha i didn't notice the box art
