As a divorced father who bought this to play with his son, can agree lots of fun and he didn’t understand the shawshank redemption references
Pete Did you get any answers about mom’s new boyfriend?
Does he have a nicer car than you or a nicer house?
Are you blue? Are you free. Man?
you all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost the login password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Gael Ridge Instablaster ;)
"I'm being taunted by studs! This is why I don't go to the gym anymore." xD
Man that bit about divorced parents was way too accurate lol.
2:51 yea when we got the big reveal in lego star wars episode 5 we see vader point to a picture of anakin next to padme and i was like holy shit they actually made the scene work without dialogue and actually made watching episodes 1-3 useful
Not only that, but giving every character certain abilities and no dialogue made Jar Jar Binks somewhat tolerable. Though I did love that part of the forest fight in LEGO SW:TFA when Kylo Ren tries to pick up Luke's lightsaber using the Force and basically says "I could just walk over and pick it up, but that wouldn't look as cool."
And then 6 years later the Lego Mario line was announced...
HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
Now we need Lego bioshock
Yes! That would be amazing!
That would be a challenge to turn into an E10 game, but yes, I would also enjoy that!
We make our bricks, but in the end, our bricks makes us. For you see a kid chooses while a minifigures gets played
oscar reynolds There are no figures or men, only Lego.
Holy shit, why isn't this already a thing?!
"I was fighting enemies by grabbing them one by one and flinging them off a ledge so I wouldn't have to be bothered by them".
Sounds like my combat style from Assassin's Creed (first one) :)
Alternatively NSMB Wii co-op
Works in AC:rev too
and the super-kick from Odyssey, that was always fun
Death of a salesman starring EA as Willy Loman
I agree with the thing about LEGO games being funny. But when voices were added it lost the charm. I mean Lego Batman 2 was fine, it was an original story, the others just rely on visual gags that aren't particularly charming. It was hilarious to see Indy Jones fighting nazis without anyone saying a word, now it's just the plot with death jokes. No I'm not kidding, LotR was mostly jokes at dead peoples expense. Sure they were plastic but they were still sentient and ALIVE!
At least LOTR had actual movie lines that fit the story. Though harkening back to an adaptation study class I took in university, it is quite annoying how the game forces you to follow the plot instead of letting you muck about and have obi wan beat up jar jar.
"stop holding out for a new Metroid Prime"
Yeah... 'bout that.
No! Just no!
+theFireraven00 rumors say its ann mmo with only females
+peromiestiloesunico It's actually a kid's version of Halo 5. And it's a Metroid Prime game.
+Euan Rouch What's this about the new doom?
"yeah, about that" yeah, about that...
1:15 Funny thing, Nintendo actually made toys before they became a game company.
They first showed up in the 1880's as a playing card manufacturing company actually!
Izzy Jennings If I remember correctly, they also ran a string of 'love hotels' which were EXACTLY what they sound like. XD
Patrick Briotte That;snot surprising. Japan's corporations tend to be big businesses that incorporate many different industries. A company we may know merely for making cars can also be anything from a house utility maker to running big electrical plants. That's just how they do business.
weren't the cards the japanese equivalent of playboy magazines
Banana Mustard nah, that's not what hanafuda is. Unless pictures of flowers get you hard.
Aah, Lego... you can't really be mad at these little yellow swedish people. Sure you can rip them apart, but then you stick them together again, maybe even give them new pants or a fancy cowboy hat and everything is fine again... if the world would be made of Lego, it would be a better one...
No,,,
That would be little yellow DANISH people, thankyerverymuch.
how could you deal with the nazi party
Kasper Saldell
Lego Auschwitz Play set. lol-LOL OMFG LOL X'D oh....ah ha...ha ha...that is NOT FUNNY! 8C...lol... X) oh my god i'm sorry. X')
LITTLE YELLOW DANISH PEOPLE
My birthday draw near, and I really cannot wait to get the Nintendo *_Piss Shit!_*
+Princess Lucina Screw Yahtzee, right?
You are now reading each and every comment in Yahtzee's voice.
Sean Nguyen how did you do that?!
Salem Towns Person: Witchcraft!
Great my entire sense of comment section is ruined
I find myself never agreeing with Yahtzee's opinion but I still always find it funny and keep coming back.
+Silvershock Nicktail Haha yeah. Guess we just like different things, but he explains his POV well.
Match of the century: HATS VS. HAIR
Ahh, Yahtzee. You speak fast but you speak true...
Hell, Nintendo _did_ make toys, so...
+Ben Ward yea they actually started around the 1800's making trading cards and toys.
The Wii wasn't a complete disaster. Yeah, Nintendo should't have made a console that focused on motion controls. But it had its moments just like any other console. The Wii-U was just a bad idea. I miss Nintendo games that just used a controller. I really hope they stop the hardware gimmicks with their new system.
ZombiU was the only good thing to come from the WiiU.
MH3U, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101...
0:07 I'm guessing this was a reference to that "wonderful debate" you and Gabe had on LDO.
Oh my god, that first scene summed up perfectly the relationship between me and a friend of mine after Bioshock Infinite came out. XD
I'm totally still holding out for a new Metroid Prime. Not so much Prime story since it's over, but those controls. Beautiful.
even after years and dozens upon dozens of videos, yahtzee stills make me laugh my ass off, hes a really good writer
Anyone else like just flicking through old ZP's? There's something satisfying about watching these old ones idk
Collect all the studs! Except you'll never collect all the studs! lol
I'll have you know that my brother is an English teacher, and he finds Yahtzee quite charming.
People seem to forget that the Wii U does support 2 gamepads, they just don't sell them separately.
***** So which games support 2 gamepads?
TheDuckClock None, the system does though.
***** Well that sounds real handy now doesn't it.
TheDuckClock The only reason they added the second gamepad support "for the system" was because people complained about the "1 gamepad-only" issue. So fromthe start the support for the second pad was just Nintendo basically going "there,you happy,now fuck off while we make games that support ONLY ONE GAMEPAD".
Heck,I recallthey were asked what gameswouldsupport 2 pads when they announced the second gamepad support and they basically wentmute then instantly changed the subject.
Yay so I can get another 200$ console just for the controller or I can shove the wii U controller into the garbage truck on Wednesday.
Hahahahaha I just watched this and laughed my ass off. Thanks for making my day.
Yeah, you could tap on the touch screen for easy access to the robot masters' powers. And possibly if you charge your shot it goes into a first-person perspective and move the Gamepad around to aim (Assuming it's a 3D game, of course)
'30 Year old Nintendo fanboys' - did Yatzhee just descript MovieBob?
yeah, bioshock infinite pretty much removed all hope I had for humanity. it was great yeah, but it was pretty depressingly accurate
That's what Bioshock has been from the beginning. It's a game that says "Hey! Look at yourself! What the monkey-fuck are you doing with your life?!? You can be so much better than this!". The whole series is a satirical look at human nature and the hypocrisy we wrap ourselves in to feel better about what we really are.
Infinite's ending made me depressed. Loved the hell out of it, but (like Yahtzee) it made me less enthusiastic to play other games.
Kinda like The Walking Dead:Season One.
So is Spec Ops: The Line
I fucking love yahzee's voice I wish he would review movies like this. It would be hilarious and informative :3
awesome just get on my lunch break and i am greeted with this. great way to start my break.
Did anyone else play this when they were a kid? Good memories
I want to show my appreciation for the uploader. I always respect the opinion and thought demonstrated by his work, and just as importantly, I enjoy every upload immensely. I don't get the idea that he himself reads these comments, but I hope he keeps doing what comes naturally to him.
Can anyone suggest how I can support Zero Punctuation independently of his involvement in The Escapist magazine?
Havent heard of Antichamber before but he covered Tokyo Jungle in brief in a video somewhere but its not listed in the title. I think its in the FIFA13 video.
1:27 hurt now that Federation Force just came out. But then I think of Metroid 2 Remake and I'm happy again.
wow I have so much nostalgia right now
What's next ? Lego GTA?
Or lego call of duty
Maybe Lego hitman
Uzay Köroğlu LEGO Game of Thrones!
Lego uncharted
Uzay Köroğlu ahum if you dislike lego and dislike jurrasic park a dark time has come upon you
Lol'ed so hard at the "Noohhhhh that would be like EA making a dodgy business decision" XD
The last line of each of these videos always makes me go "OOOOHHH"
"Fun for All the Family" means "Fun for the kids and excruciating for everybody else."
Nothing will be a greater memory to me than when I was playing lego star wars 2 (Episodes IV, V, and VI) on the original xbox and Darth Vader had to tell Luke that he was his father by showing a picture of DV and Padame together while DV pointed back and forth grunting.
Best childhood memories are playing sw lego on visiting days
That is one of my top ten uses of a picture of DV and Padame.
4:33 Clockwork Orange reference? Well played.
I got tired of all the lego parodies, they seem to forsake their own creativity for the sake of leeching off popular movies.
Who remembers Lego Racers, Lego Rock Raiders, or even the Lego Island series? Those were the last original Lego games they made themselves before Lego City Undercover.
Holy shit Rock Raiders, what a game. I still have nightmares about that bloody mission where your oxygen is running out xD
Lego Racers 2 and Lego Island 2 were my first video games ever. They will always hold a spot in my heart.
I have Lego Racers and Lego Racers 2. While upgrade-able weapons and the way you build your car determining how your vehicle handles are good, I like the bigger map, piece, and weapon variety more. Exploring worlds and destroying cars during races are also things I like about LR2. However, I like the larger variety of minifigs in LR1(If it wasn't, it still seemed like it to me).
Man, LEGO Racers and Racers 2... They were my favourite racing games. They would be my favourite racing games if they were released today, with today's engines and LEGO library.
Gideon Bellamy LOL
Subscribed for all the edited laughs
Thanks man, i was really curious as to what he sa
COLLECT ALL THE FUCKING STUDS, Except you'll never collect all the studs.
that definitely is a quote he said during the video
I like how every revolver is either the Blackhawk or Paulsons revolver from fallout 3
Tell us more about this fascinating game you mentioned regarding ladling soup into bowls, it sounds more interesting than anything currently available...!!! I would love to see a review. Haha. (Actually, have you considered doing reviews on games that don't exist, or more to the point, using your extensive and diverse vernacular to just cut loose and describe different games you would like to see released, with the same sardonic hyperbole and occasional flatline profanity that forces even the most popular and successful games to golf clap your X-Ray vision, lol...????) 👍
Develop for the speak'n'spell. Priceless.
I distinctively remember when I played lego star wars on gba that collecting money was all I did for days. This was because it took so long to get enough to buy any of the characters besides the ones you didn't already get or the ones you had to buy but were about as "cool" as charlie sheen is "winning". it almost broke the game for me, but the gba version had boss fights that had more than just " hit that guy a lot!". they actually had a frequent challenging quick time event thing.
Jeez that apeerd 5 years ago...I feel so old
I believe that the main reason Lego city undercover didn't have local multiplayer was because the Wii u couldn't handle it without blowing a fuse and this is most apparent in the next Lego game for he Wii u, Lego Marvel Heroes. It also tries to do the open city world thing with drivable vehicles except this one attempted local multiplayer, and while entirely fine when playing solo, the second another person tries to join in, the frame rate tanks and chugs as the Wii u strains to render both players plus the city and in occasions the game has crashed if the players get too separated as the Wii u couldn't cope with having to render opposite ends of the city at once
He did Tokyo Jungle. It was part of his FIFA 13 review where he did three games rather than that one he was supposed to. :P
MIND BLOWN! !
When I first saw his reviews I thought he was to picky but now after replaying the games he reviewed again I agree...He's changed me.
He did do Tokyo Jungle, but it was paired with another game.
Well, after about 4 years Lego city undercover, one of the few wii u exclusive games of the time, is coming to current gen consoles
well Nintendo is going to improve the Wii U with abilities like multiple gamepad controller play but the only thing it says about it in the "get to know the new WiiU" information book from gamestop is that at the moment this is not possible , yet and yes it is actually written as a cliffhanger yet
I'm sorry, But no. I shouldn't have to buy a brand new fucking console just because they were too lazy to add simple features like that. And we both know you're gonna have to buy a new console. It's the DS / DSi all over again. Nintendo are as bad as EA.
Okay, the part about the divorced parent hit pretty close to home
Who is the stud?
I don't mean Yahtzee, I mean the studs he's collecting.
David Hasselhoff.
Oh, he is a stud.
Loved the divorced parents bit. Lol!
That was a lot of information in a very short time
Probs the best rant I've ever heard haha
Hey, wait a goddamn minute, for people like me with one best friend, Army of Two the Devils Cartel was hours a pretty good fun. Disclaimer, it was the low point of the series by far, "What?" you gasp, "A low point in a series about PMC's being relatively nice if mislead guys, I don't believe it" The second one took it's self less seriously and made the game have some replay ability with various moral choices that you could circumvent your partners opinion on, "Kill all the Pandas you say, we got no problem with that, right Salem?" The Devils Cartel, has a twist at the start that doesn't remind you it was a thing until half way into the actual game, the protagonists are dull, and I add the S loosely seeing as you are limited to being player A and your friend is automatically player B, I can't even be the slightly fun sounding one unless I let my friend be first player, still I played the shit out of it and never deleted it off my PS3 because it's something easy enough that anyone could jump in and be like okay I get it we help each other fight in over the top gun battles and occasionally go berserk and fire an unrealistic amount of bullets out of our single shot antique buffalo rifle. Stealth is no longer a thing which would have made Yahtzee at least not want to rip his dick off about it being shoe horned in, but it was only occasionally in the second and very scripted so you knew if you fucked it up or not, and if you died you spawned only just before you began the stealth so it wasn't exactly a challenge, still it's much more of a modern action game now, which is a major let down for me because I got no end of fun out of shooting my co-op friend at the end of the second one before they even knew there was a button prompt to do so to me.
Yeah, he also specifically edits out pauses for breath etc.
Only reason I subscribed to EscapistMagazine right here.
I saw the title and laughed my ass off.
We will all miss you, Vakarian it will never be the same
Ahhhhh, the good ol' days.
Love the fact there's a Wii U commercial on this video.
I know they came before, but this guy reminds me of Akindalewar
I've never been one for lego games before, though my friends tell me that they're pretty fun.
3:10 by that you mean most i am 12 but i have seen shawshank redemption and the matix and loved them...well i loved matix 1 reloaded was not the best but i saw nothing whorng with the shawshank redemption + two of my fav video games is pong and tetris
Haw-haa Yahtzee, a new Metroid Prime is indeed coming! You were wrong like, four years ago!
Yes
the characters in Lego Island 2 did speak.
@ 3:38
Who's that guy that always appears in yahtzee's videos?
And on this stop in the Yahtzee/Zero Punctuation Chronological Bingefest, we see that the outro gets cut down a little, giving us a little bit less of the awesome theme song, but also not showing us the other members of Escapist that most people here don't care about because we're just here for Yahtzee. Well at least I am, but I'm sure that's a little glaringly obvious. ANYWAYS, MOVING ON.
Most of the WiiU titles that were out at the time of this review were either ports of one or two year old non-exclusives, Wii-grade shovelware, petty movie tie-ins, NintendoLand or ZombieU.
The 3DS was doing well, but arguments toward the popular opinion of the WiiU's current situation is damn near undeniable.
When I saw Yahtzee reviewing a Lego game I was quite shocked. I know it's a slow release week, but I would've expected something like Dead Island Riptide or FTL.
He did review Tokyo Jungle, I believe in his FIFA 13 review.
Besides the loading times, I'm loving LC:U. I dig the dsilly humour myself, and the gameplay is solid - as GTA style games go, I'm enjoying it a damn sight more than i did GTA IV, which at the time I felt had run its course compared to the likes of San Andreas. It's just good old dumb fun.
I'm pretty sure Lego is the perfect company to mentor for Nintendo. They did after all get their main factory burned down more times in a row right after starting up than any other company on record.
i've heard people call lego city:undercover as metroidvania. whilst it does have certain un-lockables that require certain items to get which is technically metroivania, other M was a better metroidvania game than this because at least that had good combat and the collectibles where more organic to find and they where worth getting.
I love the Ted Bundy face for the studs...
Look up Psychonauts. Or any of the top five of his top games of the year lists.
Yes. All is well in the world.
my first game systrem was the PS2, I respect both Sony and Microsoft, since I now have an Xbox
I like the Wii U. I like it more than the Wii, at least.
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is really the only reason I'll bother saying, because that game is the sole reason I wanted a Wii U (I do like other games on the console, though).
I played the lego games as a kid. Now I want to try this game. Sadly, I don't have enough money lying around to buy a Wii U.
Funny that you talk about Nintendo and Lego cooperating...
They at least have multiplayer and faster loading times on the current gen re release.
To Nintendo's credit, they were originally a toy company. They just had this big responsibility to be the innovaters thrown on them after they said "hey this looks like a good market, let's make some stuff", and now that they've made their stuff and gone away from their toy bits, they're a bit stranded.
What it needed was a new IP, sandwiched in between a new Metroid game and another new IP. Glued together with creativity.
Good one
the WiiU is actully a very fun console
Happy Days was awesome. Long live the Fonz!
