***** FarCry never really had a solid theme, though. First an island of mutants, then rebels in Africa and now an island of pirates and slavedrivers. Fits right in imo.
Crackdown :: My favorite game Crackdown 2 :: Wanted it to be my new favorite game, stopped wanting it after pretending it was for a solid month straight Crackdown 3 :: Who in their right mind announces a fucking beta feature before ANY kind of testing can reveal that having multiple servers per square kilometer is as cost effective as buying prostitute to constantly blow balloons in a desolate corner of your room until it's your birthday party year after fucking year
Hold on... Crackdown 1 I would understand being on a favorites list, but Crackdown 2? Why on earth would you be satisfied with this mess? I will NEVER forget that all throughout my first play through of the game I thought the actual game was about to start (as soon as I cleared up all the freak dens), and then the credits hit... You were satisfied with the lazy ass repeated non stop defend this thing missions?
prw56 No, I wasn't. I just liked it for the "dicking around" bit. Crackdown 1 is on there too, but this video isn't about Crackdown 1, so I can't make that comment here.
Interesting... so you enjoyed the game play enough that the dicking around was fun on its own? I can understand that. Did you feel the game as a whole was satisfying, ending considered?
Both Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 had a ton of content. Had enough multiplayer maps to fill 4-5 multiplayer-only games of the 7th gen (and the current gens)
Its not his statement that the multiplayer is 'bad'. he just states that a full price game should come with a full-price singleplayer and maybe an additional multiplayer (half life 1 and 2)
When I heard 4:09 I immediately started looking for my phone because i was convinced it would go off in a few seconds. After I found it downstairs, I replayed the part I missed and found out.
Must have been a good alarm clock then. I swear, alarm clocks going off is the worst sound in the world, and hearing it just pisses you off for no reason.
I think it would be kind of interesting to have the sexy rebel leader turn out to be WORSE than the authoritarian dick that compliments you with "Skills for Kills, Agent."; like turns out she's actually a really damn effective crime boss from a different region that was attempting to take over Pacific City, but ended up being killed and putting her now-disorganized empire on the Agency's shit list for Crackdown 3... Any day now I suppose.
In case you can't hear the words through the static, here they are: "To go back to this analogy, having a Jacuzzi by yourself is nice, if a bit indulgent, but add more people and now you're sharing everyone's filth and have to be careful you don't put your hand on anyone's dick." XD
the creators must have thought that the reason the first game sold so well was that it was fun, not that they had everyone who bought it got the beta for halo 3 :3
Weird. Mine made the buzz sound, but upon further investigation, that was because the noise-maker-thingy inside the circuit board had partially been pushed in, probably in a manufacturing oversight. Now, it works well, making clicky noises, though I still don't know how to describe it.
I get the criticism comletely. but I wouldn't call it bubling tossage. also they took the map and changed it to show how screwed the city has become. and cell are against the agency for trying to controll the city with the sunburst plan rarther than releasing the cure to the virus that catalina found out from an agency wistleblower. no hate to yagtzie of course.this is simply criticism of criticism
That's only in video games, or with certain, older models of Geiger counter. The current, slightly more reliable Geiger counters really do make that sound.
Both Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 sport enough content to fill 3 or 4 modern multiplayer games each. And that's not counting usermade mods and maps which are plentyful.
After your comment I started searching TH-cam for a video to prove that, but I couldn't find a single Geiger counter to make that sound. They all made the tick tick tick sound, even a few modern ones. Do you have a video link to prove what you're saying.
i never had a problem with troublesome autoaim, seeing as i never used a gun. max rank explosives player here, no aiming required when my every grenade and rocket had an explosive range the size of a city block lol
Some cell phones cause interference in audio devices just before receiving data or starting to ring. That's exactly what happened there; someone left their phone too close to Yahtzee's recording equipment and it went off.
I thought my headset was broken. Because of the ringtone I have on my phone, whenever I receive a call or an SMS, no one in the room will have any doubts about who's phone it is.
Destro I thought you meant the iphone or something XD Okay old phone, fair enough. Also my radio is broken and shitty and old it makes tons of static and weird beeping noises that sound a ton like what happened at 4:10
I mean, Crackdown 2 has a massive toilet that has a jacuzzi at the bottom with massive rubber ducks. Does Crackdown 1 have a massive toilet that has a jacuzzi at the bottom with massive rubber ducks? No? Than I think we know which one is the better game. Yeah, for sure.
@coolsn3 Yes, but he also lives in Australia, and has been for quite some time. Most people don't just start living in another country for a while without picking up some local quirks.
Fucking around was literally all I did in this game while using the multiplayer feature to allow other people to drop in and complete the game for me. dance you maggots, DANCE FOR ME!!!
Crackdown was one of my favourite games, there was a story there but it didn't get in the way (I don't even know the story because i was too busy collecting wub wubs and shooting anyone who looked at me funny) and the gameplay was pure (if clunky) fun
Looking back I see what yahtzee means. I'm just glad there's a game I can chuck on while waiting for something to download or after I've been on a massive marathon of FPS.
Well now, the one time when you can skimp on singleplayer in lieu of multiplayer is when you have really, really good bot support... just like the Unreal Tournament series actually.
''I don't give a shit about multyplayer and neither do a lot of people''? That's Ben's brilliant refutation. Eat me. Here's the thing: a game's main focus can be multyplayer. This can and has been done well- it can make for a fun, exiting, rewarding experiance and if that's not Yahtzee's cup of tea and it clearly isn't then he shouldn't play or review them.
As for the statistics- that's 13% of the people on battlelog who put their vote in for the multiplayer vs singleplayer in the upcoming BF4, to be more precise.
I do have something of value to contribute, the problem is that it has already been said, so everything I can add would just be redundant. The thing is that multiplayer should not be the content, and while it is, it shouldn't be.
Thanks for being the only nice person to me. Im not butthurt and i know its what he does. Im not sure why everyone thinks im angry as im just bringing to attention that his statement was bullshit, but now everyone acts like im some sort of evil plotter that just sits around and thinks of things to hate on. I love this dudes reviews i just think his statement was stupid as hell.
"Who's in charge of naming things?"
The namers.
The guys who wrote Blood Omen 2
Krebons1200 At least that legacy was dope as fuck
you know the saying "this video didn't age well"?
well this is not that. you literally predicted where the industry was going 6 years ahead of time.
"Usually, it's not till' the third game that you really knuckle down to start ruining everything" Thus why Valve never counts to 3.
Far cry 3?
Yup, farcry 3 is an example of that.
***** It was awesome..... though.....
Frank J Yes, but it wasn't true to the original FarCry series.
***** FarCry never really had a solid theme, though. First an island of mutants, then rebels in Africa and now an island of pirates and slavedrivers. Fits right in imo.
Dat audio interferance.
Crackdown :: My favorite game
Crackdown 2 :: Wanted it to be my new favorite game, stopped wanting it after pretending it was for a solid month straight

"The zombie's cleared out faster then WoW subscribers exposed to light" I literally fell off my chair when he said that
your cellphone was right next to your mic while recording.
I thought it was mine and would never know it was his if i didnt read your comment, because when i moved my phone away it stopped lul.
I thought MINE was!
From 4:07 theres a noise in the audio one gets when receiving a call or text.
I'm glad you said that. I was kind of scared that my computer was fucking up again
Crackdown 2 could have been an Dlc pack for the first game. Similar to have they did with Red dead redemption undead.
Time for Yahtzee to tear one of my favorite games a new one while I laugh at it's expense...
Hold on... Crackdown 1 I would understand being on a favorites list, but Crackdown 2? Why on earth would you be satisfied with this mess? I will NEVER forget that all throughout my first play through of the game I thought the actual game was about to start (as soon as I cleared up all the freak dens), and then the credits hit...

Interesting... so you enjoyed the game play enough that the dicking around was fun on its own? I can understand that. Did you feel the game as a whole was satisfying, ending considered?
prw56 Ending? No. I would have liked to fight Thorne, not have a hamfisted thing happen with her helicopter/hand. It felt cheap.
LOLed at the hilarious bits. Oh, ever noticed that audio glitch at 4:08 to 4:15? Pretty awkward, I know, but still, very funny! :D
Both Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 had a ton of content. Had enough multiplayer maps to fill 4-5 multiplayer-only games of the 7th gen (and the current gens)
It's like listening to an audible wall of text :D
Honestly, these "reviews" wouldn't be nearly as good if he used punctuation >.>
4:10 Whats with the noise in the background?
I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I thought my brand new headphones were already broken.
Yahtzee's phone probably went off
I checked my phone :P
I felt a spring of happiness to know i am not the only one... i thought my computer had issues.
Phew! I thought my earphones were ballsing up!
Its not his statement that the multiplayer is 'bad'. he just states that a full price game should come with a full-price singleplayer and maybe an additional multiplayer (half life 1 and 2)
1:24 - 1:32 I had always thought, that's how trilogies worked, that's why the sequel is always sometimes awesome..
Also, wallowing in a big jacuzzi full of gunfights...
When I heard 4:09 I immediately started looking for my phone because i was convinced it would go off in a few seconds. After I found it downstairs, I replayed the part I missed and found out.
Must have been a good alarm clock then. I swear, alarm clocks going off is the worst sound in the world, and hearing it just pisses you off for no reason.
Damn that mobile interference at 4:08. Haha, had to pause and listen to see if it was me or not.
Nah I got it too
Man i love going back to watch old zero punctuation reviews
Ooh boy.
I Just Discovered Ben's videos and I am Marathoning them!
I think it would be kind of interesting to have the sexy rebel leader turn out to be WORSE than the authoritarian dick that compliments you with "Skills for Kills, Agent."; like turns out she's actually a really damn effective crime boss from a different region that was attempting to take over Pacific City, but ended up being killed and putting her now-disorganized empire on the Agency's shit list for Crackdown 3... Any day now I suppose.
Anybody else hear the beeps at 4:08? I think it might be Morse.
Yeah. I can't unhear that now
It's the sound that happens when a mobile phone sends or receives data near a piece of audio equipment.
I thought that was my own phone making the noise. :u
Vigil Serus Me too
4:07 are my headphones fucking up or is there some kind of staticy undercurrent to the audio?
I thought the exact same thing. Seems like an audio glitch on TH-cam's side
In case you can't hear the words through the static, here they are: "To go back to this analogy, having a Jacuzzi by yourself is nice, if a bit indulgent, but add more people and now you're sharing everyone's filth and have to be careful you don't put your hand on anyone's dick." XD

"Horrible Unreal Tournament or Quake III Arena period shooters"
Holy shit, first time I actually can't agree with him.
1:43 King Asgore?
Whew, I'm not the only one who thought of him.
"Like world of warcraft subscribers in direct sunlight"
Oh god my sides help someone I can't stop laughing xD
I don't know how you come up with your rants Man, but they categorically kick ass!
You have to wait for the third one to ruin things... If only you knew, if only you knew
Wait, Crackdown 1 had ledge grabbing? I guess it was so buggy I genuinely never noticed.
Weird. Mine made the buzz sound, but upon further investigation, that was because the noise-maker-thingy inside the circuit board had partially been pushed in, probably in a manufacturing oversight. Now, it works well, making clicky noises, though I still don't know how to describe it.
I may be nostalgia blinded but enjoy crackdown 2 to this day
cos of the huge amount of scenarios I can make up and the rest of the game
I get the criticism comletely. but I wouldn't call it bubling tossage.
also they took the map and changed it to show how screwed the city has become. and cell are against the agency for trying to controll the city with the sunburst plan rarther than releasing the cure to the virus that catalina found out from an agency wistleblower.
no hate to yagtzie of course.this is simply criticism of criticism
3:40 Mr. Hoppy, NOOOOOO!
That's only in video games, or with certain, older models of Geiger counter. The current, slightly more reliable Geiger counters really do make that sound.
4:09 seems like Yahtzee was receiving a phone call from that co-op partner he’s kept under wraps...
Both Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 sport enough content to fill 3 or 4 modern multiplayer games each. And that's not counting usermade mods and maps which are plentyful.
did anyone hear beepy boopy noises at 4:08?
After your comment I started searching TH-cam for a video to prove that, but I couldn't find a single Geiger counter to make that sound. They all made the tick tick tick sound, even a few modern ones. Do you have a video link to prove what you're saying.
We all saw that wisecrack coming, bro.
i never had a problem with troublesome autoaim, seeing as i never used a gun. max rank explosives player here, no aiming required when my every grenade and rocket had an explosive range the size of a city block lol
I love this guy's analogies.
0:30 Skod Row?
LOL
Some cell phones cause interference in audio devices just before receiving data or starting to ring. That's exactly what happened there; someone left their phone too close to Yahtzee's recording equipment and it went off.
So basically, giving superpowers to the Police of Detroit/Chicago would be plausible by this games logic? Thats something we probably need.
I thought my headset was broken.
Because of the ringtone I have on my phone, whenever I receive a call or an SMS, no one in the room will have any doubts about who's phone it is.
That analogy works well for inFAMOUS
I like how when people disagree with something it's now considered spam.
lol those clicks at 4:10 made me check my phone
-.- it made me check my old ass radio. Tho explain how a radio type noise made you check your modern day phone that makes no such noise?
if you have a older pc near a oldish phone it will do that. I dont know what you are talking about.
Destro I thought you meant the iphone or something XD Okay old phone, fair enough. Also my radio is broken and shitty and old it makes tons of static and weird beeping noises that sound a ton like what happened at 4:10
I mean, Crackdown 2 has a massive toilet that has a jacuzzi at the bottom with massive rubber ducks. Does Crackdown 1 have a massive toilet that has a jacuzzi at the bottom with massive rubber ducks? No? Than I think we know which one is the better game. Yeah, for sure.
@coolsn3 Yes, but he also lives in Australia, and has been for quite some time. Most people don't just start living in another country for a while without picking up some local quirks.
3:07 soooooooooooo true
yahtzee should totally do game playthroughs! 0_0 it would be hilarious!
I think its because the escapist website is where all the dedicated viewers watch it, because the videos come out sooner there.
3:05 It's hilarious that somehow that really is what most people do when they get bored in a sandbox game. I know I've done that in many games. XD
I totally just sang that out loud after reading your comment XD
I like how I understand every single word he says despite not being a native speaker.
No, it's the sound of a Geiger Counter going off when radiation is nearby.
4:30 lol
Fucking around was literally all I did in this game while using the multiplayer feature to allow other people to drop in and complete the game for me.
dance you maggots, DANCE FOR ME!!!
Not sure I understood that last metaphor, but I sure thought that it was awesome.
RIGHT?
ITS SO AWESOME
Crackdown was one of my favourite games, there was a story there but it didn't get in the way (I don't even know the story because i was too busy collecting wub wubs and shooting anyone who looked at me funny) and the gameplay was pure (if clunky) fun
"Like world of warcraft subscribers in direct sunlight"
why do his videos have that weird "cell phone interference" sound in them?
@TheMattZer Because most people who watch Zero Punc do it on the Escapist, and usually 1 minute after they're released.
3:46 So true.
Also; give superpowers to firefighters. Who needs a ladder when you can jump straight into the building?
01:16-01:17: Vore?
wow. my entire recommended videos column was filled with zero punctuation videos...
Welcome to TH-cam, Martian.
@ZuttoAragi I agree. I usually talk that fast when I'm speaking.
I hate how after watching one of them, mine was too. Now I can`t stop.
this had a cracking start
you will make a great internet overlord.
Better get a hero...
or a
*Pause for effect*
Heroine!
YEEEAAAHHHHHHH!
Ah this video aged like a fine wine
Wow, a Zero Punctuation video I HAVEN'T watched?! Nice!
"putting something in quotes make it better"
He actually removes his breaths from the recording while editing it.
audio gets a little buzzy around 4:15
Looking back I see what yahtzee means. I'm just glad there's a game I can chuck on while waiting for something to download or after I've been on a massive marathon of FPS.
I wanted him to mention scooping other cars in the super car
never gonna crack, never gonna crack
*crack you up*
never gonna crack, never gonna crack
*crack you up*
I'm sorry, but the TARDIS is not a magic problem solving device. That would be the sonic screwdriver... as long as the problem doesn't involve wood.
0:30
So...portland?
Well now, the one time when you can skimp on singleplayer in lieu of multiplayer is when you have really, really good bot support... just like the Unreal Tournament series actually.
...I personally think it is because they know when they release it, its going to be not to anybody's expectations.
''I don't give a shit about multyplayer and neither do a lot of people''?
That's Ben's brilliant refutation. Eat me.
Here's the thing: a game's main focus can be multyplayer. This can and has been done well- it can make for a fun, exiting, rewarding experiance and if that's not Yahtzee's cup of tea and it clearly isn't then he shouldn't play or review them.
It cracked me till my sides split.
i just remembered how my old tv did that
That about sums it up
4:08 who else thought their phone was about to ring?
As for the statistics- that's 13% of the people on battlelog who put their vote in for the multiplayer vs singleplayer in the upcoming BF4, to be more precise.
0:46 why?
god damnit i thought i was original with the name pacific city
I do have something of value to contribute, the problem is that it has already been said, so everything I can add would just be redundant. The thing is that multiplayer should not be the content, and while it is, it shouldn't be.
My biggest problem? It is Crackdown, not Crack Down.
4:11 ... what is that static?
Thanks for being the only nice person to me.
Im not butthurt and i know its what he does.
Im not sure why everyone thinks im angry as im just bringing to attention that his statement was bullshit, but now everyone acts like im some sort of evil plotter that just sits around and thinks of things to hate on.
