Fun Fact: This is the 2nd and final time we see Yahtzee use the: ^_^ emoticon.
What was the first time ??

"Bioshock 2's *infinitely* better predecessor."
Heh.
ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
He got me with Halo Reach.
SPOILER ALERT:
Some punctuation.
"Do you get a tax break if you make a zombie game or something?" My favourite Yahtzee line.
I consider yahtzee immune to my fanboy rage but I was about to flip the fuck out when he said halo reach.
I know, I was like "what the shit that was a good game!" Then he trolled me. 😔
***** no, even if halo reach isnt your type of game you cant put it on a worst game list, it is technically good,
Learn Quick Except in his 2011 Top Games list the #1 Worst Were Call of Duty and Battlefield 3. And not because they're poorly made or anything. He even says that himself.
Christian Faux lmfao
Christian Faux teach me your ways sensei
I like how Yahtzee used the Funeral March of Queen Mary for his bottom 5 music.
It's also used in A Clockwork Orange, so you might know it from that.
+Klontruppe At the end of a particular Beatles' song that slipped my mind, their is a high pitched whistle. You probably can't hear it because it was made for one of the band member's dog.
+Daniel Plainview i didnt know petroleom emperors also loved cult film soundtracks
That'd be "A Day In The Life," and if you own the original vinyl version, there is a locked/looped groove at the end of that song/album, which repitively plays a particular disquieting dog whistle, loud audience chatter and weird, heavily modified vocals. On the CD versions, they simply keep on playing the 3 second loop until it fades out/finishes the album.
Oh, and it's the last track off Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
I know it from Conker's Bad Fur Day, but the opening was a parody of CWO.
DID HE JUST FREAKING SAY COMMA! ZERO *PUNCTUATION* SAID COMMA! WE WIN! WE WIN!
Sounds believable to me.
He said "comma".
Yahtzee: halo: reach
Me: what?!
Yahtzee: jk, fable 3
Me: ok, I can see that
Yahtzee: jk again, Kane and lynch.
Quit toying with my emotions!
Wait, this is supposed to be "Zero" Punctuation.
WHY IS THERE A COMMMA!?!? D8

...Do you mean me, or Yahtzee? : /
Could be either?
"Frankly, it wasn't that much of a year."
Then 2014 happened.
+reddevil9312 But 2015 has been awesome
+Rock Steel Yes, yes it has.
+reddevil9312 Has it? Because I've been under the impression that nothing good really came out, but maybe I just have a memory. Care to freshen me up a tad?
Mortal Kombat X, Witcher 3, MGSV, Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Batman Arkham Knight, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, just to name a few.
reddevil9312 Mortal Kombat X is good, I haven't played Witcher 3 yet but I know the series is alright, MGSV is alright but it was left unfinished thanks to konami's bullshit, arkham knight is meh, rise of the tomb raider is also meh, assassin's creed hasn't been good since IV. My gut feeling was right, this year has been pretty disappointing, specially since the one good game that was going to come out was delayed to next year. At least we got Rocket League I guess. Even among the games you mentioned, the only game I bought full price this year or even wanted to play is Rocket League. Maybe mortal kombat X, I got it but my pc can't run it. And I guess there's fallout 4 but I won't trust the hype until I play it myself.
kane and lynch 2 really made me angry.
kane and lynch was somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me and my brother back in the days when we still lived together, because we were both very troubled children with questionable morals, and so naturally we looked forward to the second part.
and not only was it bad, it was nigh unplayable...
Døde Brø Hilariously, Kane and Lynch 2 was my first 18 game that I ever played. I played the demo in an Xbox magazine disk. I enjoyed it, cause I had no standards back then.
Commissioner Cabbage Oh yeah those discs! Remember the free gamer pics? That was the best part of those!
+Nocturne yeah the asscreed Rev I loved the turk picture
WAIT. Continuous music in a ZP? Might need confirmation but I'm pretty sure this is the only one :D
If I hadn't seen this, I never would have tried the Just Cause series.
A moment I'll not regret.😊
coming back 9 years later the music really adds to the feeling of this being a while back
I'm really impressed with how you keep to the same style through out your whole series
Loved the use of Funeral of Queen Mary
i thought i was losing my mind. kept pausing the vid to see if an ad popped up lmao
I like the song from the intro to A Clockwork Orange in the background of the 5 worst
I wish Yahtzee would speak over Funeral of Queen Mary more often
0:50 When that classical music started, I thought I had another TH-cam video playing!
I was this close to putting a fist through my table when he said Halo: Reach... He hadn't even said it, the tittle was up for the shortest nano second before I could consciously react.
Did anyone else notice the theme from A Clockwork Orange playing when the worst games were being talked about?
yeah haha
I really have to stop watching these at work. I can't stifle the laughter well enough.
Damn it all I can imagine is A Clockwork Orange, thanks Yahtzee for putting Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary in this, now I have to watch that movie!
If anyone wants to know, the music playing during the top 5 best games is Maple Leaf Rag.
"Ooh, I haven't seen the dead rising 2 one yet..."
And so, the cycle continues.
,The fact that A Clockwork Orange music is used here makes this standard video, amazing.
A Level music has taught led me to recognise that Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag is in this video for the best games list. How interesting.
I'm surprised that more people recognised "the music from A Clockwork Orange" than Maple Leaf Rag.
His use of Maple Leaf Rag for the good games pleases me, no end!
Kinda. The music i'm assuming you're talking about is The Funeral March of Queen Mary by Henry Purcell, which is used in Conker's.
Halo Reach was... cool.. I play it mostly for the scenery though..
Did anyone else notice that the bottom five background music was the throne room theme from conkers bad fur day
I noticed the song from A Clockwork Orange in the background
@TheRadioactivemutant Everyone, that was the music Yatzhee used for his bottom five.
whats the song which plays in the background when he goes through his top good 5
I love Just Cause 2
is that the clockwork orange music playing during the bottom 5?
Bloody hell, that's the most brilliant, witty, and well timed joke I've ever heard. Props.
It was! I never made that connection before now, so thank you.
Thank you for giving just cause 2 the praise it deserves!
@JDLOCKON is it one of the branches of Machinima? (Machinima Respawn, Realm, etc) or just Machinima entirely?
I was thinking Conker's Bad Fur day but then I remembered that they got it from the clockwork orange.
Does anyone notice a slight note of piano music in the back of this video?
Me: HALO REACH?!? YOU SONAVA...
Yahtzee: gotcha
Me:😂😂😂
I almost certain it's called "Music for the funeral of Queen Mary" Which you would have heard if you've ever seen A Clockwork Orange. (Or played Conker's Bad Fur Day)
Using the clockwork orange music for the bad games? Genius :D
...Is that the balloon splash music from OMGPOP?
I heard some Fig Leaf rag in the background :D
3:00 Is that Conker's bad fur day music I hear?
when he said reach, the 5 minute smile got slapped off my face, then when he said burned my smile slapped my face and glued itself back on
is it just me but the music that plays when he talks about the top 5 worst remind me of Clockwork Orange?
I spat my coffee out then realised he was only messing, well played Yatzee, well played.
if jc 2 had the power of the contractible rope hook thingies that jc 3 does, it would be a hella lot better. jc3 is still pretty good since you can see booms in 4k, but its a bit uh, weird.
1:33 CLOCKWORK ORANGE THEME!!!!
"Bioshock two's 'INFINITELY' better prequel"
Yahtzee Knew...He Knew it was coming
maybe it is just me, but i get the feeling he enjoyed more making this videos back in 2010?
Well even back in ancient times in 2016, he'd been at this for nearly 10 years. Now at 13 years I don't know how he's still alive, let alone reviewing the piles of garbage that come out these days
oh random idea for a recomemdation since amnesia was on the good list, a machine for pigs is made by the same people and is similar, but with a different story and characters ^^
mayby you could review that when it comes out =)
The "Fart Under the Moonlight Sonata Award for Desecration of Classics," huh?
Yahtzee, I'm fairly certain there are MANY other games out there worthy of that award, as well.
James Reid It's "Sonata".
cloudtx Ah, crap. One sec...
...
...There.
Seeing something good ruined hurts alot worse then seeing something bad be bad again.
So glad he gave amnesia recognition :]
Can't wait for machine!
You really did get me with Halo Reach! XD Iol
You almost got me with Reach and Fable 3...
It's interesting to look back and see how Yardy was slowly moving towards Dark Souls in his tastes, like it was inevitable.
LOL I loved the Clockwork Orange music!
I gotta say... the Halo Reach thing... you got me there
I wonder what his bland games lineup would’ve looked like.
Very Good Question
yahtzee you are too funny! i was pissing myself when you joked about reach and fable 3
rest in peace zp awards
@The7guys He already has a contract with The Escapist Magazine. You would know this if you read the description.
Wow this video is so old, makes me realize how ridiculous it is that we STILL haven't gotten Red Dead Redemption for PC
How did you play Slayer BRs?
Or not play gametypes like Slayer Classic, Living Dead, Big Team Battle, and every other game mode that didn't include DMRs in the loadouts?
whats the song that plays during it?
isn't the DMR that scoped rifle you spawn with in every MP match?
Is that a piano in the background?
I like how his disgusted voice is his regular voice.
and now what do we have this year
That's a wonderful image
When you said halo reach. Hook line sinker and squid arse. (what I use when if fish btw)
Where precisely was Fallout or Mass Effect located? Not only the two best games of 2010 but some of the best games ever.
In the brown pool of bubbling mediocrity where they belong.
Di, k Fallout is amazing. I bet you never played it. Its got such an amazing enviroment and lore you just cant help but love it!
A. Schutte Oh right, I thought he was talking about the 3rd one, rather than NV. Yeah, I'll upgrade their status to "brown pool of upper layers of mediocrity", then.
Di, k Why dont you like it?
A. Schutte It ended too soon and left you with little else to do
I LOVE the music you put for the top worst games!
i just read a bunch of comments and all i could hear was yahtzee's voice as if he was reading them to me as a review haha
"I'm an undercover CIA agent" riiiight :) you have fun with that. May be you'll be a fireman after nap time :D
Why are you holding a Nunchuck when talking about Other M ey Yahtz?
You had me at the halo game, good show
the background music distracted me from yahtzee's voice and I had to rewatch the video
@liamjd1 it's the music
As a Metroid fan I'm pissed that Other M didn't get a lower place. How bad was Kane and Lench dog days?
It Was Very Very Bad!.
The Maple Leaf Rag distracted me from what you were saying constantly and consistently! Good that you stopped putting BGM while you were talking in the future reviews.
4:05 he Said Simp 10 years before It became a meme
He Also Created PC Master Race
Edit. Meme
I played Halo 1, 2, and 3 and honestly Halo Reach just felt like more of the same with a few only moderately fun additions.
Is this... Yahtzee?
With... BACKGROUND MUSIC??!?!?
The Early Year's
I couldn't tell from his review that Just Cause was be his favourite. I guess he's subtle.
"Gives exact quote from the video we just watched"
Similar to a man pretending to steal something as a joke but getting annoyed when the police arrest him. And then he curses them off :P
@NikoBuscus Erm.....I have no clue what you just said, and Yahtzee probably doesn't read these, after all, these are first posted on The Escapist Magazine's site, then reuploaded here.
can anyone here the background music?
well said
YAY just cuase 2 one and yes i also love hearing soldiars scream while they are attatched to the end of a herrier jet
I've heard that somewhere before..
Every time he brings up eastern european animation, I wish he’d give a named example, because I am curious as hell by now, especially after vacations there. I’d LOVE to see wtf something like Wallace And Gromit or Gumby or... ha, GI Joe, are/were like from the soviet culture. It’d be fascinating. ...don’t suppose anyone has any suggestions to offer?
