Zero Punctuation: Just Cause 2

[Oyster^^]

Thumbs up to the review; love the opening, love cats, love parachutes.

Guess what, Croshaw? YOU ARE TOO HARD TO PLEASE.


You spend way too much time caring about story and dialogue. Go review movies or books if that's what you want. Games are about player interaction, not having some hollywood-imitating cliche-fest of a story shoved down your throat.



Aside from that, however, you are undoubtably one of the most gifted internet comedians in existence. Thumbs up.

It doesn't matter what you would do. What matters here is what Yahtzee is doing.

And Yahtzee never said that the story and dialogue problems don't matter. He didn't even say anything to that effect.

Could you please stop being constrained by your own opinion?

No thanks. My opinions are too marvelous.

You see, you too are putting your spin on what was said. "I'm the only one who cares" does not inherently mean that it detracts from the experience. It just means that "I'm the only one who cares".

As for "Some might say that's enough. Some might say I'm too hard to please. But some can shut their fucking mouths." it does not inherently mean that he disagrees with what they're saying. It just says that they should shut up it.

I'm not putting a spin on anything. I'm simply trying to make an observation. I never said that Yahtzee doesn't believe that fun is all a game needs. I'm just saying that that is what he seems to be implying with this review.

There is nothing like getting off the arse end of a six hour train journey up north, followed by having to shop and unpack, than being able to sit back and watch all my tension drift away to Yahtzee's dulcet tones.

 

[Aptspire]

why make these missions in the first place?
Just cause!
...
and also for piloting a not-Su-47 with infinite ammo

He mentioned it at the VERY end, but there were a lot of cats in this review...either Yahtzee got a new kitty and did what he did with his '09 rewards when he got his iPhone, or he's got cats on the mind ...or he got attacked by a cat and had to take revenge on them...or, he mentioned them JUST CAUSE!...2!

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I enjoyed this episode quite a bit... Mainly because I know how annoying cats can be.

 

[DOm3g4]

couldn't agree more, specially about the story and dialogue, I feel like I've spent the whole game either wondering why there's so little story or cutscenes and desperately trying to skip the cutscenes cuz the dialogue and voice acting is so terrible

still, pretty fun game

 

[Rabid Viking]

Funniest review in a while! These kinds of reviews are the only thing that can salvage a Wednesday.

 

[De Ronneman]

Does he own a cat?

If he does, I'm pretty sure that has been a very naughty kitty last week...

Voice back to normal, ripping on the pope and enough "just cause" puns to make my tummy hurt. I'm satisfied for a week.

 

[Jared]

I always thought the grapler when coming from the sky was a bit of a funny one, made me chuckle

Greay review as always

 

[David Bray]

I'd play this if i could get it for a fiver in a sale. Sadly that is not the case so it will not be played.

 

[antipunt]

OK, it never hit me until now that 'just cause' could be used in so many different ways

 

[SilentSh0tz]

rawr! fine i'll choose balmung <_<

 

[LorChan]

I friend of mine recently pointed out that Zero Punctuation had gotten pretty boring recently, like Yahtzee wasn't really into it, and I had to agree.

But this was a bloody great video. Blows the rest out of the water. Kinda made me want to buy the game, too...

 

[Weaver]

CATS!
I really hope the cat motif comes back with future sandbox game reviews

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

If I could make one big modification to the game, it would be reasonable prices on Black Market items.

Say you drive a car through a water tower. Then you get about $3,000 dollars.

You can buy a glock with that right? FUCK NO! A pistol costs $20,000 to buy off of the deliverance guy who stumbled his way onto a helicopter.

The inflation gets worse and worse, yet the game is still fun as hell.

 

[Magnalian]

I played this at a friends house, and GOD I hate the flying controls. Crashing a plane into a mountain does get old after about 5 times. Especially if you were actually trying to fly the damn things.

 

[jpoon]

Spot fucking on Yahtzee, this game is about as meaningful and entertaining as a can of farts.

 

[Joseph Murnan]

Huh... game I'm no interested in at all. Maybe he'll hilariously rip it apart.

(watches)

Huh... still not interested, and now I'm also not entertained. Way to break an awesome streak, Ben.

Troll translation:

Ben didn't agree with me, I don't like this game wah wah wah.

Anyway, another great review yahtzee, maybe the best since borderlands.
