Zero Punctuation: Viewer's Choice: Duke Nukem Forever

[Marmal4de]

When the voting started I was hoping for the Oblivion review to win. Even though that one went out the window a while back, the Duke Nukem review is also a great winner in my opinion.

 

[Atmos Duality]

As excellent as Duke Nukem Forever's episode was (a game that doesn't exist...indeed) I'm still partial to his Fable 2 review. Hilarious jibes and an excellent deconstruction of the gameplay (or lack thereof).

Mostly because this was back in the days when he did actual reviews instead of just going on some diatribe against his arbitrary topic of the week and then sticky-taping something that resembles a review on top of it.

My favourite video was actually the 2009 awards one but I don't recall it being a choice. Oh well; this one was pretty funny too. I love how pretty much the entire 'review' is basically just Mr. Croshaw in full-on sarcasm mode.

 

[PureChaos]

Wait, so there's no new ZP this week? Wait, he's on holiday. Right

That's exactly what I was thinking, this whole tournament was just so he wouldn't have to work this week... damnit.

i thought that was the case a few days ago. i was hoping Painkiller would win. my favorite review (Army of Two) wasn't even in it

DNF is still a great 'review'

 

[Canadamus Prime]

So... I voted for this, does that mean I won?

Not really... If you entered in the contest, you have one chance of winning for each vote you placed. They just wanted to see what our favourite episode was. THe only problem was that they didn't choose ALL the episodes, so if they had, the outcome might have been different

Oh... nuts.

My personal favourite is the Zack and Wiki review.

 

[Nodrog]

Common Gearbox. Make me happy in the pants.

 

[LeeJ2512]

for god sake yahtzee review some better games! regret to inform you i havent actually watched a vid of yours since red dead redemption! always seems to be crappy wii games you review lately.....

 

[Wolf Devastator]

It's... kinda sad that it took me a while to realize he was reviewing a game that didn't exist (I thought he started reviewing a previous Duke Nukem game), so I didn't get half the jokes

Time to re-re-watch...

 

[SenseOfTumour]

A gun that shoots dogs vs a gun that shoots shirukens and lightning.

That was and epic battle indeed.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that the gun that shoots dogs also had tits and was on fire.

(late to the party, but that rarely stops me.)

 

[vviki]

This review is awesome! That's why it won.

 

[Muggizz]

It's really hard to chose between his best reviews, Myself I adore every single one of them. But this one sure had it's moment of glory when you read the reactions by people who actually thought it had been released.

 

[dghjdgdjf]

Totally called it.

Now wheres my badge?!

I'm gonna repeat what I said in the finale thread since there probably isn't anyone reading that.

Aw man, I missed the finale! I don't get it, round 4 was up for like 2 days, this one not even one. I hate time zones >.< Oh well, what can you do?

I would have voted for painkiller. It simply made me laugh more. DNF was more interesting than funny. But I gues the gaming industry has been fixated with DNF for a decade or two, and everything that references it is automatically awesome. I would of course rather play DNF than Painkiller, but this is about the review, and though I enjoyed listening to what Yahtzee made up about DNF, I didn't laugh at it.

Painkiller is the iconic ZP, IMHO. If I recommend ZP to someone, I post a link to painkiller. It represents what makes ZP great, and that is why it deserves to win. The winner shouldn't be a novelty that will never be repeated, it should be a reminder of why we come back every week to watch the new regular review of games that actually exist. Painkiller FTW!

This is my personal top 5:
Darksiders
Just Cause 2
Painkiller
Demon's Souls
Halo Wars

So congratulations, you are the winners according to one dude on the internet. Still, I'm fakkin' A-söme, so you should feel proud.

I would like to finish by saying to Yahtzee, now that you see how much we care, please do more and longer videos! I just can't get enough!

But I would like to comment on the contest itself. I did make an account in order to vote, so I feel obligated. The fact that we won't be getting a new episode sucks, but this gave me another reason for rewatching these awesome videos. And it also forced me to evaluate them, which gave me a nice insight into why I love ZP.

Now comes the time where I complain about stuff, this is a forum after all. My favourite, Darksiders, didn't stand much of a chance since people didn't realise this was a contest about the reviews and it went against Bioshock in the first round. The west division was overpowered and Mailbag showdown sucks, the only funny part is "Go team retard!"

 

[Tipsy Giant]

I wanted Blood on the Sands to win, that review cracks me up every time

 

[FreakinSweet87]

One of my favorites. What other game is so good that it was released with an "RP" rating? Here's to you, Duke!

 

[Aptspire]

YHurray! My choice passed the voting

 

[felixader]

Honestly, did anybody not see this coming?

I think that is kinda the point.

 

[Daniel Aung]

Wait so you know how your suppose to get awarded a prize or something because your most faourited video/watched, when do i get to recieve my free copy of yhatzees auti biography or whatever the fuck it is

Further more i find it quite remarkable why is name rhymes with Nazi lol.

 

[Jake the Snake]

*laughs* I had forgotten about this review. It deserved to win.
