Zero Punctuation: Red Faction Guerrilla

[civver]

The Earth forces are kinda cartoonishly evil. The comment about the Norse god/biscuit buildings was funny. As for needing ammo, ever tried picking up the Earth forces' weapons? It's pretty much the same. Last sentence was funny. This week's review was good.

 

[ninjajoeman]

wait isnt guerrilla warfare were you run in guns blasing shooting people then before you can get hurt you run like shit back to base?

Agreed. Yahtzee needs to be faster, I cant get my healthy dose of Zero Punctuation if there are ambiguous commas laying on the floor. Kind of like when you're eating Rasin Bran and see horse flies about the room and start realising that rasins kinda look like flies in milk.

shut up shut up shut up!!!

C'mon, I liked the original Red Faction

 

[SomeUnregPunk]

the only part of Redfaction 1 that i liked was when you added the cheat codes, then you can dig by explosives through the map. but without the codes, it got boring and the story seemed like a cheap dime store scifi novelette. the reviews i read on this game convinced me not to buy it because they all practically said, " it's fun to topple buildings but it sucks to try to get to that point in the game."

I enjoyed Red Faction 2's multiplayer, mostly because you could make your own bots to play with when friends were unavailable. I havent played this one yet, but a friend of mine said that the game itself was really fun.

Unshait the shait. That made me laugh.

He did a slow rant this time. I am brazilian and was able to understand 90% of it without rewinding.

 

[Cavouku]

He seemed to slur a bit when he said "But then a little message came up saying that my morale had gone down. No it fuckin' ha'n't, Red Faction Guerilla, now ge' ou' of the way so I can break all your stuff."

But oh well, yes, I know all too well how one game can make you pessimistic about any further games. Turok 2 for the N64 was all it took for me to completely disown any game from 1st person perspective... Yes I can be petty.

I'm not sure why so many people are complaining about little things like him talking slightly slower, he'll catch on and speed it back up for you whiners if you must have your lack of commas. Maybe he'll just replace it with "mutherfucker".

Loved the stuff about getting engaged to Saints row 2 ^_^

I never out loud "laugh" during a new Yahtzee review because I'm afraid I'll miss something witty and have to rewind. And, like a menstrua- no, never mind, I'll stop referencing his reviews now.

...You lazy ni-

He's right about how the game doesn't focus around guerrilla actions. The AI will suggest you give serious planning before downing high priority buildings (since they are well guarded). But I found after all my planning the simplest thing to do was drive a car up a mountain, fly off the edge, jump out of the car, activate my jetpack and land on the roof right after my car plows through it. I then run in and between my rocket launcher, remote charges, and nano rifle (think star trek fazer set to kill only it disintegrates large chunks of building and people) I'll tear it down in several seconds. Hop in a car and hang out in the safe house.

This was on hard mode. It's not easy, but careful planning is pointless when acting like a chimp gets the job done easier.

 

[toapat]

they honestly should make a Red Faction game where everything will break., not just structures or terain

 

[Casbahthegrey]

Red Faction Guerrilla is actually pretty good when you consider it's predecessors, but what it really needs is co-op or like yahtzee said; SOME GOD DAMNED GUERRILLA WARFARE!

 

[Smiles]

I like the David Bowie reference, he rocks.

 

[Endocrom]

So that's how you pronounce mjolnir.

I've only seen it in print and thought it was like Mizholnir with the J sound like Jean-Claude.

'cause I don't know what the plus sign and upside-down omega symble is supposed to sound like
mɨˈjoʊlnər

Awsome referance to an obscure David Bowie song at the end there Yahtzee.

Also very nice to see you did this, given the advertising they did on the Escapist (even going so far as to have a badge) it's nice to see that they still let you critique them in your own unique and wonderful style.

David Bowie did a song called "Green Spiders From Mars". I thought Yahtzee's last text comment about wanting to for mars, but hearing about all the giant spiders up there, was a lot funnier than the Gueriella/Chimpanzee pun. But I guess it's a bit too dated, you sort of had to be listening to David Bowie's music about the time he played "The Goblin King" in Labyrinth.

Hmmm, well as I've said twice now I thought it was a referance to a David Bowie song. BUT then again part of the point is that it can refer to a number of things hence why he keeps hearing about them.

Still, given that I do remember when David Bowie was popular, but was too old to see much of "Biker Mice From Mars" it probably explains why I would think of Dave before more recent referances.

I feel old.

...yet, apparently, not old enough.

You do know what Bowie did before the Labyrinth era, right? No, before that. No, after that. 1972-ish. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Not "green" (for which Google turns up nothing), not a song per se, and...not really obscure.

Okay, I stand corrected (as several people have pointed out). It has been a while.

 

[standokan]

Cool episode and btw where can i find the obama image on 3:19, its awesome.

 

[Jursa]

The last pun was nice Still it is a game about destroying stuff and that gimmick has taken it far I see.

 

[Elf Defiler Korgan]

Ah the strength of polystyrene and biscuit construction. Nice one Yahtzee

 

[Squilookle]

No Evil Genius ??

Ah cmon man give it a review.

Agreed- I'd even be willing to wait a fortnight to see Yahtzee's maniacal personality come to full potential with 2 weeks of experimenting with deathtraps and henchmen in that game...

 

[Artemis923]

I like the part about the hammer being Mjolnir...because that's exacly what I did.

With a battle cry of "Thor!", I proceeded to crush everyone in my path.

Until the tanks showed up.

 

[04whim]

I enjoyed it, but did anyone else feel it was a bit short? or perhaps it's just sleep deprivation sending me nuts

actually I think it is just the sleep deprivation.

I thought it was a bit short but maybe when your only positive reason to get outta bed ona wednesday is "OMFG NEW ZP TODAY YESSS!!" then all his new vid's seem a bit short lol

eitherway short or not loved it, love 'em all, Yahtzee will forever remain the king


Side note: Is is just me or does it seem you can go on any give ZP thread and theres always at lest 2 or 3 people getting banned/suspened/warnings?

I think it was mainly the last crack, with the chimpanzee warfare, it just made the end feel a bit abrupt :/ though I do agree, ZP is the highlight of my average Wednesday, and a 4-5 minute video is a bit, not sure how to put it, but you get what Im saying and yes, always the first 3 posts are along the lines of "first" and banned. though in fairness my post was just that primitive part of my brain wanting first page, but I tried to at least put something relevant

 

[AtticusSP]

You don't even know man.
That norse god stuff.
That is the first damn thing I thought of, and the reason I love the game so much.
You can even get a hammer that looks pretty Thor worthy online. Shit is so cash.
