Zero Punctuation: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

[Defeated Detective]

I loved the game and honestly I am pleased to see that Yahtzee shares the same idea as to how Blood Dragon got the Duke Nukem humor did more than Duke Nukem Forever. If you'd like to see the sources of some of Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon's references, you should check out Playstation Access' video regarding Blood Dragon(Spoiler warning):

As for Yahtzee's complaint on commute in Blood Dragon, I never really saw the problem since the access of maximum speed and the lack of fatigue basically made me feel like I was the Sixty Million Dollar Man, commute throughout the island was fun and it genuinely made me feel like an action hero.

Kept hearing about this one but there wasn't a physical release so I'm going to be left out of the fun. It's too bad too, I enjoy dinosaur fights. Oh well, no jetpacks will be my flimsy justification for not trying to get my consoles to connect to the internet this week.

 

[Fat Hippo]

He does have a point though.....no jetpacks

Yeah, they didn't even leave you the wingsuit you got at the end of Far Cry 3, one of the best things in the game. No idea why they wouldn't at least let you keep that.

 

[Mahoshonen]

I'm crossing my fingers for Deadly Premonitions, personally.

 

[Hindkjaer]

That last reference missed a "Portal" joke by an inch..

We made some awesome tools, and now we wantet to use them creating a little game only apealing to us..

To appear in about nine months: FC3:BD DLC featuring a jetpack and a laser-dinosaur disco-duel bossfight at the end.

I'd buy that for a dollar.

Snack on Kyle Reese's Pieces.

Your word play never ceases to amaze me.

I thought "Fish and Hicks" was the more clever of the two!

I want to become a member of the Paint Drying Appreciation Society, where do I sign up?

 

[Cat of Doom]

Poor bungle, I hope he finds his way home. I can relate

 

[Insideout Ink Demon]

yay, Yahtzee liked it

really enjoyed this, first game ive preordered in a while. loved all the comments on the steam forum who didnt quite get it "how can 2007 be the future"
prayed to god they were trolling

 

[GodzillaGuy92]

Man, was this an unexpected treat, what with Blood Dragon being the sort of small release that often slips past Yahtzee's radar. Kudos to him for giving it the attention it deserves in so characteristically entertaining and informative a manner, and making me all that more excited to eventually play it.

 

[Darth_Payn]

YES! I too worry about a download-new-only model for buying games and laugh at the passive aggressive rivalry between publishers and stores. We need more games like this, that are just plain FUN and celebrate games past rather than shunning them, and wear that fact on their chests like a superhero's suit! And there's actual COLOR there too! Great review, Yahtzee!

I rarely play triple A games anymore, the only one I played recently was Bioshock Infinite. The arcade and indie marketplace seems to where all the actual games are instead of spunk gargle wee wee. Even a big game designer can make an interesting game if it's going to arcade release and Farcry 3: Blood Dragon proves that, it being a stand-alone title was also a plus IMO. I wish more game developers would follow Blood Dragon's example because I play game to escape my life and reality, not live someone else's shitty realistic existence. Give a BFG 9000 and a giant killer robot to fight and be happy but what self-respecting game company actually listens to their customers these days!

I remember how one guy said Video Game Bosses are too video gamey and that we should all wallow in depression and angst

Who said that, when did he say it, and how do we get back at him?

Small thing about your intro there, Mr. Croshaw.

FC3:BD is available retail too.

 

[Stryc9]

Snack on Kyle Reese's Pieces.

Your word play never ceases to amaze me.

How about "I'm Kyle Reese's Peices, snack on me if you want to live!"?

 

[Nowhere Man]

That whole bit with the PS4 being hidden behind the Nancy Drew games and rotating knives had me laughing way to hard.

 

[Pyrian]

I want to become a member of the Paint Drying Appreciation Society, where do I sign up?

Look for the sign. It's hard to read, because they keep re-painting it.

 

[Strain42]

Yahtzee I have no idea if you're even reading this, but if you are, please let Bungle the Tapir re-appear in future episodes. I think you've got a winning character on your hands. He can sit at the dinner table right next to Uncle Tusky.

 

[BBboy20]

Something tells me the lead developer, Dean Evans, is watching this...don't give him TOO many ideas Yahtzee...could get really cray cray.
