Zero Punctuation: Darkest of Days

[MrLefty]

Hey. Sarah Connor Chronicles was awesome and its early cancellation a crime almost as serious as the axing of Firefly after 14 episodes.

played the demo and was incredibly disappointed, and since ive heard that the time traveling is limited to very few areas i got even more disappointed, when i found out that this where their first game and they already screw Europe over i didn't think it was possible to be more disappointed, and i was right, but nice review.

 

[PuppetMaster]

well I hope the sequel IS better, because dispite videogames being "an artistic median" and this was the debut game I found myself saying (and I NEVAR say this) wooda binna better book
good concept, bad execution

 

[Biscotti187]

i played it was fun but be ready to be frustrated at bits (id recommend waiting for the price to drop a bit or maybe play the demo on steam)

 

[Biscotti187]

Gotta say first time in a ZP where I have totally agreed with Yahtzee's assessment of a game and I am also hoping for a sequel

Am I the only person here who had a rich friend that owned a Virtural Boy, and by extension gets the joke? I mean yeah, at least Nintendo covered their asses with "Play in moderation" at the begining of a game, but be realistic. No kid is going to take a break every 10-20 min when they have a game in "real" 3-D.

Seriously though, Tetris was neat on it.

No, other people get it.

The game is a joke people. I've played the demo and it was bad, very bad. The graphics were shitty, the enemies could spot you through a dense corn field from 300yds away, the A.I. is so thick that other enemy soldiers don't notice you even as you murder their friends who are standing right next to them, and the game is filled with glitches and bugs and slowed down when things got busy. I'm surprised that Yahtzee didn't tear this game apart; X-Play certainly did, 1 out of 5.

Demo=/= the full game. They could easily fix the bugs after the demo.

can anyone tell me the name of the song that plays in the beginning and end of zero punctuation?

OT: great video this week, laughed my ass off

 

[mike1921]

Anyone mind telling me what the crap about the first two posts was worth putting the users on probation? I'm confused...

I agree, they should've been put on permenent ban.

You get probation if you make a post on the thread to content before you had enough time to watch it.

This game came out? AWESOME it looked pretty cool up until I saw the review

 

[Fronken]

Not sure if this has been ninja'd before me, but the Monty Python reference really cracked me up xD (Tiger/16 Ton anvil), not certain this was intentional, but it does seem like a bit of a coincidence if it isnt a reference to the "Self defense against fresh fruit" skit.

On topic though, great review as usual, keep up the good work

 

[BakaSmurf]

I hadn't even heard of this game before today. Was a rather amusing review, once again and I may just have to give it a look now. Although from what I've heard, it would be better if it contained timelines without guns. Oh and a flying, harp dispensing cat would be quite nice too. Ah well, wishful thinking.

There is a timeline without guns. Spicifcally Pompeii during the eruption of the volcano, although you do bring a whole lot of guns with you, including a microwave emitter, which you get to use on Roman soldiers armed with nothing but shields and Javelins, which is AWESOME.

 

[MB202]

Fighting in all of history's greatest battles, that DOES sound like an awesome idea! Maybe, if a squel is made, they'll include the Battle of 300!

 

[Biscotti187]

o and the aim assisted automatic gun was while you were playing as the confederates

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Game sounds intriguing, if for a little bit. Time to go look it up!

Steam, he says...*strokes beard*

 

[Ontoue]

I heard about this game a while ago, but when I found out it wasn't on ps3 I completely forgot about it. I didn't even recognize the title.

 

[dpagan1]

i cannot see the newest yazhee production, i have not been able to see any of his for the past three weeks, this is getting beyond a joke.

 

[Razorback0z]

I fail to see the point of a flying cat that dispenses harps.

But nice entertaining review, Ill wait for $9.99 on steam.

 

[Biscotti187]

(god i gotta stop commenting) on the matter of historical accuracy the prison level is way off as the design and and prisoner uniforms are modeled of Auschwitz but are actually unique to Auschwitz, POW camps as well as other death and concentration camps, had different designs and uniforms so they missed pretty big there lol

 

[DragonWright]

Any cat can dispense string.

Just feed it some.

And wait.

 

[The Great JT]

Ah well, another decent idea that falls short.
