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 😇
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.
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
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
+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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
+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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
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 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...
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
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!
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

+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)
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).
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.
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.
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.
3:40 "Ubisoft games all sprawl over each other like an incestuous farming cult." Far Cry 5 takes place on a Montana rural cult land. Is Yahtzee a space wizard? I ask because I also just watched the Freedom Planet review where, well, you know.
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.
+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.
+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..
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.
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
Cannibals wanting to eat you attack you after something like three missions. Wanting to EAT ME is generally a good reason to kill they ass. Okay the second tribe is really just two people competing over resources here, but seriously the first one has a fairly explicit reason!
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
It's almost "too sandboxy" not that I don't like sand or boxes, but Far Cry 1 is still probably my favorite one. You got dropped in a huge level and had multiple ways of executing. Now it just takes forever to accomplish anything in these games. The quests feel more like a job. That is why I feel far cry would benefit from at least a little more structure which would also feel like a little more Polish. Otherwise we're left with mishmash.
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.
Mind you, he hates JRPGs, and I've heard (from Superbunnyhop, for what it's worth) that some of Lisa's puzzles hit brick wall levels of obtuse, as well as facilitating lots of backtracking, things Yahtzee never ever had much patience for.
+Ddewin Aether He said in his regular channel he doesn't care much for it. Don't remember him saying he didn't review it, But if he does don't expect it to be a positive review.
Daniel Lamonte I played through the entire game and I have no idea what puzzles hit the brick wall level of difficulty and as for backtracking, with one exception in mind, it never happens. ( unless if you want to get characters in your team that you missed)
The game takes place during the Upper Paleolithic and beginning of the Mesolithic period in Europe. One tribe Udam AKA Neanderthals arrived because their God the Venus of Willendorf abandoned them and a never ending winter AKA Ice Age came and most died off from Hypothermia, the other tribe Izila AKA made up Sun Worshipers for the game are trying to get the new land because they want it and they need sacrifices for their Sun God I cannot remember the name to. Your tribe survives because they were meant to aka modern humans, the neanderthal leader Ull gave you his child, this was implemented in the game most likely because there is traces of Neanderthals in us so his son bred with humans so that the evolution in Far Cry's make sense I guess?? That's essentially the story, it's not that difficult to understand unless you need a game to walk you through the story while holding your hand. You were also able to set hunter sense to unlimited since release, did this man ever check the options? I also don't believe your Bloodfang Sabretooth died that fast, you must have mistakenly sent a weaker Sabretooth out. It might have been true if you were on the hardest setting, but that's impossible seeing as you had bombs for your owl so I believe you sent out the wrong one.
+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.

As someone who is about to beat FC4 after 50+ hours of gameplay, I find this depressing.

yes, it was well done. I would think the same if some game tiger failed me...
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.
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
3:40 "Ubisoft games all sprawl over each other like an incestuous farming cult." Far Cry 5 takes place on a Montana rural cult land. Is Yahtzee a space wizard? I ask because I also just watched the Freedom Planet review where, well, you know.
Blood Stained Erection is a nice name for a punk band.
"You don't fuck around in my hundred acre wood!" Fucking lost it
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.
"We don't fuck around in my Hundred Acre Wood!" Best line in this review.
is it bad when he described the game it actually made me want to play it?
"The mechanic that is to modern gaming, what influenza was to the early 20'st century". This did not age well.....
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..
"There, I win the argument. Now piss off, you're getting straw all over the place!"
^^ brilliant
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
That feeling when he doesnt know that the main characters voice actor..is the same guy that does Adam Jensen.
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
Cannibals wanting to eat you attack you after something like three missions. Wanting to EAT ME is generally a good reason to kill they ass. Okay the second tribe is really just two people competing over resources here, but seriously the first one has a fairly explicit reason!
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.
The first minute of this video could also apply to the Dark Souls franchise Yahtzee.
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"
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
Takkar has the same voice actor as Adam jensen
+Shadow BeatZz Same voice actor.
+Tim Eklund Műntzing I know
It's almost "too sandboxy" not that I don't like sand or boxes, but Far Cry 1 is still probably my favorite one. You got dropped in a huge level and had multiple ways of executing. Now it just takes forever to accomplish anything in these games. The quests feel more like a job. That is why I feel far cry would benefit from at least a little more structure which would also feel like a little more Polish. Otherwise we're left with mishmash.
At 4:31, I became really confused as to when I decided to start watching a Witcher 3 review instead of this one.
How awkward.
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.
Is there any chance I can convince you to review "Lisa" Zero P. ?
just wait for the summer drought... he'll come back to it. ( I adore this game so I wish he reviews it)
Mind you, he hates JRPGs, and I've heard (from Superbunnyhop, for what it's worth) that some of Lisa's puzzles hit brick wall levels of obtuse, as well as facilitating lots of backtracking, things Yahtzee never ever had much patience for.
+Ddewin Aether He said in his regular channel he doesn't care much for it. Don't remember him saying he didn't review it, But if he does don't expect it to be a positive review.
Daniel Lamonte I played through the entire game and I have no idea what puzzles hit the brick wall level of difficulty and as for backtracking, with one exception in mind, it never happens. ( unless if you want to get characters in your team that you missed)
I bet that when he plays it, Birdie's going to immediately get permakilled and he'll put the game down after getting stuck on one of the Mutants.
"You don't fuck around in my 100 acre wood'
You're the best XD
Still a fun game.
eh
Connor Maruke meh
It took you 3 nights to beat the blood fang Sabertooth rofl.
i guess they nerfed Mr Angry whiskers.
The game takes place during the Upper Paleolithic and beginning of the Mesolithic period in Europe. One tribe Udam AKA Neanderthals arrived because their God the Venus of Willendorf abandoned them and a never ending winter AKA Ice Age came and most died off from Hypothermia, the other tribe Izila AKA made up Sun Worshipers for the game are trying to get the new land because they want it and they need sacrifices for their Sun God I cannot remember the name to. Your tribe survives because they were meant to aka modern humans, the neanderthal leader Ull gave you his child, this was implemented in the game most likely because there is traces of Neanderthals in us so his son bred with humans so that the evolution in Far Cry's make sense I guess?? That's essentially the story, it's not that difficult to understand unless you need a game to walk you through the story while holding your hand. You were also able to set hunter sense to unlimited since release, did this man ever check the options? I also don't believe your Bloodfang Sabretooth died that fast, you must have mistakenly sent a weaker Sabretooth out. It might have been true if you were on the hardest setting, but that's impossible seeing as you had bombs for your owl so I believe you sent out the wrong one.
I liked this game.
0:18 - That's not sexy, that's adorable.
2:11 - 2:44 - That will be he day Yahtzee loses all sanity.
Can we all agree that the Zero Punctuation theme song is the best song in the history of TH-cam?
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.
