Zero Punctuation: Dead Rising 2

[Hiwatari]

Great vid, as always O_."
Dead Rising 2 should be renamed 'We-Stop-U-From-Having-Fun(Coz-4-us-Time's-More-Important'
But I guess that'd be too long

I may purchase this game at GAME TRADERS ROBINA!

although I wont because I have never seen that place in my life, mabey game?

It closed down last year, I was heart broken as it was the place I regularly went to and bought old games for years (I seemed to pick up 10 dollar 64 games etc. everytime I went out xD). It really sucks as there's pretty much nowhere else to get good stuff now unless you want to buy the new shit which I rarely do. eBay is pretty much it.

Worst of all it got replaced by a PHONE ACCESSORY store, which used about half its floorspace and closed down after a month or two (also was right across from another little phone accessory stand in the middle of the walkway). Can't remember what's there now.

Basically Game stole a bunch of their business, Traders weren't told there was going to be a game store literally about 15 metres away from them. I miss that place.

Oh man, first ZP i've properly laughed at in a while.
But this is the only game he reviewed that i've played in a while.....
I see the connection...

Please tell me that giant "share" button over the video isn't going to become a regular thing.

Average American response to Gaming Pro Tip:

*rolls eyes* Yeah ok, whatever.

Sounds quite fun, though from what I'd heard, you'd be able to be a bit more creative.

Anyway: Anybody think Yahtzee will review/like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine when it comes out? It's a shooter without cover-based combat, and we all know how much he hates that system...

 

[ArchAngelKira]

He likes this game? Thats rare!

 

[Jumpingbean3]

Couldn't help but notice you didn't mention the online game Terror is Reality. Have you simply not played it? Just thought it might be something to mention on Extra Punctuation.

One off my favourite reviews yet.

I LOVED IT!

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

Chest vagina, teehee. He loves the game, nice.

the jokes are funnier than ever, loved the review.

 

[KindlySpastic]

I was surprised that Yahtzee didn't make the observation that Chuck Greene is denser than osmium. Seems like such an open door to kick in.

"I've been framed for starting the outbreak and everyone knows my name from the news. Gee, how should I deal with apparently psychotic people? Hey, I know! I'll just tell them who I am instead of lying like any sensible person would!"

Otherwise I think the review is pretty much spot on. The difficulty on the first run is ridiculous. Boss Fight Mechanics are pretty stupid in general. For example, the enemy becomes invulnerable while they're telegraphing their own attacks.

 

[Grischna]

ahhh yeah the defiler^^

He's right about the whole water cooler game aspect. In fact the best way to play the Dead Rising games is with a group of friends passing the controller around and making fun of the crazy stuff you can do in it.

Yahtzee just sold me the game. Yay. Next time, DR2 will be mine!

 

[Kurt Cristal]

I wholeheartedly agree with the notion of Capcom being incapable of making even a mediocre plot-line that makes some sense.

 

[Jared]

Haha! As usual fantastic - Although glad to see they changed forumla up a lil

 

[Lionsfan]

Definitely one of the better games I've in quite a while. What I really feel this game needs though, a Free Roam mode. Not like the survival mode from the first one (that would be to have back too), but just no story missions. Overall though, great game and a great video

What the...?

You have to pay people to escort them?

I dont even have to think of some joke or bad pun to make that funny.
