Zero Punctuation: Dead to Rights: Retribution

[asleep at the comp]

ha ha ha a really good one and it's on my birthday yay me

 

[Wolfram23]

nice review, pretty much what I would expect of this game.

PS: Do Red Dead Redemption!

 

[De Ronneman]

Never realised the huge amount of words starting with "re-"...

Pretty sure you forgot one though...


Also, the Fable 2 thing litteraly made me smack my gob after I realized I had recognised it within a second. ReEally made me think about my hobbies...

 

[Professor M]

Presumably the whole "RE" business is a set up for next week when he reviews Red Dead Redemption.

Unless he actually didn't remember that one, which would be worrying

 

[lifesucksadapt]

lol amused as always,
Dead to rights: really really really really really really dumb

 

[SAMAS]

How Dead to Rights: Regrettable. I was actually hoping the game would be good.

Notice that he didn't actually say the game was bad.

Wait, is the whole dog seeing through walls thing like AvP and L4D where seeing through walls was a Dead to Rights: Representation of them supposedly 'hearing' the people/things/whatever?

 

[imaloony]

Rebecca on Yahtzee? Am I the only one who sees something wrong with the wording of that sentence?

 

[VoidAndrogyne]

I was totally gonna order the book, but then I saw "Mog the Forgetful Cat" was on Amazon after searching it and bought that instead for nostalgia...

 

[Virtual_Dom]

Yahtzee, If I dead-to-rights reread your previous XP articles, it seemed you wanted more of those monster/enemy spamming, pure mindless shooting games. What made this game crap exactly? I mean from your painkiller review, that too seemed juvenile (but still FUCKING awesome).

 

[MortalForNow]

"Bang. Punch. Bang. Punch. Bang. Punch. Woof."
"And his gun only knows one very loud word!"
"You can press a button that teleports both he and Jack to a little pocket dimension where pain is God and Jack is pope."
"...if you're Buffalo FUCKING Bill!"

This was a great week for a ZP video and Yahtzee's quotable lines (especially for that last one, which I may be able to work into a conversation if someone says anything slightly Silence of the Lambs related). Also, those dog animations were hilarious, specifically that one where he can see through walls. I'm now going to be more aware of what my own dog does because of that.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

A love song about Yahtzee? That's a rather scary thought.

 

[Quorothorn]

I keep getting this game confused with Red Dead Redemption

...

Me too.

-

I'm slightly confused by this one to some extent.

...

Actually, Yahtzee did criticize Just Cause 2 at several points, including saying that it "made wanton destruction boring" in some of its missions, and that it was fun but just too insubstantial for him. That said, he definitely liked it better than this.

 

[apelsz]

Awesome. Your reviews lately have been funnier than most, but this takes the cake. Just plain hilarious.

vodka Sobieski
thx for this nice Polish accent

about the game (nice rev. btw.) it seems that the games are getting dumber and dumber ...

greetings from Poland xD

 

[Duruznik]

That has got to be one of my favourite endings to a review yet, up there with: "...and the hammer was made of wank."

 

[UMNiK]

I've never actually heard him give a favorable review, except in a backhanded sort of way.

Yeah, except for the Saints Row 2 and about gajillion RoR:SoT and SH2 references, sure.

 

[NoblePhilistineFox]

Im not trying to be funny or sarcastic, but this is something i am curious about.
do you think that he already had those "re" words in mind, or just got like three dictinaries and crammed in as many as he could?

Dumb
Made me laugh.XD

Same here. Such a silly joke to make me laugh so hard- I've watched it 3 times already and it's still funny.
