CALL OF DUTY: GHOSTS (Zero Punctuation) 

I always hate how stealth in CoD games really just consists of lying in some grass as someone tells you what to do. Then once you get what you came for your cover is immediately blown. Seriously, is there any CoD mission where you make it in and out undetected? It makes me wonder how the protagonists even become elite soldiers if during every mission they end up shooting their way out.

that moment you realize the review is more entertaining than the game.

We only outsourced it to Megatron because Unicron was busy.

Maybe its called Ghosts because everyone is Burly white guys.

"If that happened in Ghosts you'd probably just fart out all the radiation in one heroic guff, pull the broken glass out of your eyes and use it to shiv the Ayatollah." You know, call me crazy, but CoD SHOULD go down that route. The series is so over-the-top and such a joke now that going full-on, 100% self-aware parody with its next game seems like the best choice.

3:54 "incidentally the ghosts are well fucking equipped for a guerrilla unit." aaaaaaaaand thats when Ghosts' plot goes out the fucking window

That Monty Python analogy was surprisingly accurate and very well deserved.

This is probably the best review Yahtzee has ever done, and thats saying such a huge statement since his track record is so strong! Keep up the fucking AMAZING work!!!

Hehe, Megatron in charge of weapons development... that sounds potentially interesting...

He didn't even talk about the revolutionary fish A.I.

1:46 the most realistic reaction to this plot element I've ever seen 🤣

I'm glad he didn't jam that promotion down our throats.

That is one of the things that i found odd. The opening title sequence makes them out to be unstoppable sneaky ninja guys, yet you do no sneaking!!! there are no levels that are full on stealthy, stealthy, stealthy.

"die in a pose that confuses future archealogists" lol

1:46 this bit stuck with me. "outsourcing their weapons development to fucking megatron" is such a fantastic way to say "levels of megalomania that should immediately flag anyone as a villain"

For once I want to see an FPS in which you play as the member of a small guerrilla unit in a third world country that's under attack by the US, who has gone mental (more son than normal) and is planning on taking over the world.

the latins finally get some fucking significance in a cod game aside "brazil fabela guerrilla warfare fucks" and its fucking cod ghosts

God this is so fucking accurate and his tone is just making it more hilarious

I want to see a stealth game where you play as a german shepard posessed by a demon (A.K.A. the player) that takes over their mind and makes them stealthily hunt people. It'll be like okami for bastards

CoD: Ghosts in a nutshell: It's a chest...full of old toys. The End.

1:17 I couldn't stifle my laughter. I don't think he could have more accurately described the CoD community if he tried.

4:37 Nice Don Quixote reference

"If that happened in CoD: Ghosts, you'd probably just fart all the radiation out in one big heroic guff, pull the broken glass out of your eyeballs and then use it to shiv the Ayatollah." lolz

The part with the guy in Braveheart paint, wielding a claymore and smacking it against a windmill is most likely a reference to Don Quixote. I like it when Yahtzee adds in clever little references like that.

Is it just me, or does the black guy always die first?

Listening to Yahtzee recounting the story, i could _almost believe_ that the writers meant to do a Spec Ops: The Line-style twist, where the U.S really does turn out to be the bad guys, but EA cut it short of that, and what we're left with is basically set-up for an antagonist that never has their fall.

this game is 10/10 it has advanced fish A.I

I relate COD to an Action Packed Block Buster. Its fun, and great. But in the end you only really wanna play through it one time.

YES! My new fix zero punctuation!

I agree with Yahtzee on one thing: this is definitely NOT a game about fish spirits hanging around Captain D's and Long John Silver's restaurants.

I remember being excited at the prospect of pure tenacity saving the day in Ghosts. I thought the ghosts would really on guerrilla warfare to accomplish their objectives. Instead, it's superior technology that wins, like every modern CoD. Sure am getting the "underdog" vibe :|

cod should have a game mode where your guns are replaced with purses and you have to slap you enemies to death with them lol

Can't make their own super-weapons? They did, at the end of the game. There's literally an entire mission centered around that one objective, to take the enemy-equivalent of ODIN.

In the word's of Vas from Far Cry 3, The definition of Insanity is that of repeating the same fucking thing over and over again expecting something to change.... CoD in a nutshell

This basically sumed up what's wrong with CoD campaign.

Whenever I’m having a bad day I watch one of Yahtzee’s call of duty reviews to cheer me up

That's so true, the dog was literally in like 3 levels and the third one got shot, all about publicity with you cod isn't it! Tell me!

Gotta love that Don Quixote reference at 4:37.

And now, everyone's favorite yearly bowel movement!

Just discovered this channel AND ITS SOOO DAMN GOOD !!!

He he, I got the windmill reference. I am so clever and smart...

I swear it's Gabe from Yahtzee's LPs doing the "Jaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmm."

just picked up my first ps3.. for 60 bucks. GAWD i love new console releases

Honestly, the Federation are the good fucking guys, what the hell was America doing with that Orbital Death Platform anyway? See how much damage it did in one volley in the first mission? Then the Federation's version uses smaller, much more localized ones that are arguably better (Still an Orbital Death Platform, but whatever.) All throughout the game the only thing I could think of was. "Those guys are the good guys.", at least with the other CoD games I have to play a little bit before coming to that the conclusion.

and as i looked at Yahtzee's review, i didint scroll down to the comments untill it was over, i paused for a moment, and thought: I BET you if i scroll down, I'll see a lot of baseless racism, tea party members going on about nothing, people from other countries bashing america, and people talking about just how stupid the cod universe has become. I scrolled down, and was not proven wrong.

Just want to say that I feel like I've watched almost every zero punctuation and I appreciate what you do Yahtzee

"ORBITAL FUCKING MISSLE WEAPON?!?!" cracks me up every time.

I swear I watch this once every month or so.

I just want to take a brief little moment to acknowledge how adorable Yahtzee and at the dog are hiding in the tall grass at 2:57.

This is one of my favourite zero punctuation episodes - every point is dead on

ROFL The Braveheart Expy attacking the Windmill, awesome reference to Don Quixote.

i just got a us army ad that shows soldiers gunning from that F*cking video game twin propeller-ed thing that doesnt exist or if it does sure as fuck isnt used by the military. doing a d-day style beach landing.(which the US hasnt done since the korean war if you wanna be generous) and lastly charging a battle line rambo style....which again the US hasnt done since korea and when "we"(cause im american though i am wishing i wasnt by an increasing amount each day) did we got our ass handed to us by china. since that war the only thing american soldiers have done is get told to fight multiple un-winnable guerrilla wars as in-efficiently as possible and also piss off as many people as they can while doing so.. finally ending with the tagline "which way would you run?" which was the eye rolling cherry. cause the answer is "not into the machine gun fire, if thats what you are asking we already did that, its called world war one"

I have been waiting WEEKS for this!

JAM....

0:35 i would buy that game

Why aren't cod games just called "White guy shoots everyone and everything that isn't a white guy" or would that count as a plot spoiler

When I first heard about CoD Ghosts I thought it was like the zombies mode but you were fighting ghosts so basically a coop ghostbusters thing, that would be great!

I saw this review coming from 50 miles away, and it was everything I hoped it would be. Not a single mention of the word spunkgargleweewee tho. Yahtzee's slipping :V

What do you all want to bet next year that when another CoD inevitably comes out that Yahtzee's review of it will inevitably contain another callback to that one nuke scene from CoD 4?

This is one of best reviews he has ever made.

Finally someone who hates call of duty as much as I do! and you forgot apart of it my friend riley he was playing the bit where you are in space and he had a grenade launcher attachment and when he fired it curved down as if there was gravity along with the ability to hear gunshots in space.I am just entering highschool and I am more intelligent then the people who make a million dollar franchise.

This. This is his best review ever.

This is by far your best review yet. heck , you put more effort into this review than the entire dev team for this game and a lot more entertaining than all of them.

"The US has been invaded by all of South America." Me,a Latin: Here comes the stereotypes

Man this is gonna be good

Ah Call of Duty, the one thing I will always agree with Yahtzee on.

0:34 I suddenly would really like to play a Call of Duty game set during the Cod Wars where you are a former SAS member that is currently making a living as a fisherman until Iceland declares war on the UK and it's up to you and your squad to save the day for queen and country but little do you know that the war was actually started by vengeful fish that were able to secure some nukes from the Soviets in return for long lost Atlantean technology

I got Ghosts a few days ago, and I think your pretty right. I got it to play with my friends, but my internet was down, and I live by the value of campaign before multiplayer. The campaign did lack proper stealth, except for Jungle Ghosts which is the most fun I've had in the game as of yet. Most of the variations from just gunning are fun, because I got really sick of gunning really quickly. This might be because I was playing on the second hardest difficulty, but I always died really quickly unless I sat down, shot a bit, and sat down again. What I like about the halo games is that they let you survey your surroundings and give you a fair chance.... most of the time. In ghosts you have to die repeatedly to learn the enemy locations, and slowly figure out exactly what they're going to do. Then you kill them all, and there was a guy in the next room with a shotgun. If a larger portion of the game was like jungle ghosts, I might have had more fun. I had zero fun in gun fights to be sure. I did like scaling walls and playing as the dog. I'm not done, but I have encountered one thing that was total crap. The underwater level. I believe this was the last level I played, or the second to last. You literally hide behind rocks and then shoot a bit. It's the same thing but in the ocean! As for the multiplayer, I was constantly dying in deathmatch. I actually liked infection a lot, but halo did that better. Those are the only two I've tried. Finally there's extinction. Truth be told, I love extinction. Now I've only played the first level of extinction, but it was amazing! In single player it's fun, and in multiplayer, it's incredible. Nazi Zombies, eat your heart out. So yes, Ghost is pretty bad, but within the see of repetitive and unoriginal game play, there is some stuff worth playing.

What you expected something different? This is cod, same moneygrab shit different year

Just for kicks I searched 'burly white dudes' in youtube and this was the 2nd video.

4.38 - Oooh, and now a Don Quixote reference too?! Yahtzee, you are a well-read one! (Said reference being the character attacking a windmill, which is a classic scene in the original story, when Don Quixote mistook a bunch of windmills on a hill for an army of giants)

I like how he's able to say so mic about the plot without actually spoiling it.

The only way that COD could possibly go downhill from here is if they ever make a Ghosts sequel about how the villain and his newly brainwashed victim from this game (spoiler warning, though if you actually care that's sad) team up with a "terrorist" group composed solely of Native Americans and the ending is a final assault on their HQ located in a site like Wounded Knee.

*sees Zero Punctutation video about Call of Duty: Ghosts* "Oh man, this is going to be good."

Just caught the Zoolander reference in the Jam preview. Appreciated, nice job.

Oh god did anyone else see the ending after the credits?

nah, yahtzee is biased because was not sponsed by doritos.... sarcastic mode off...

5:26 - 6:38 That's quality writing right there! XD

4:36 Wow, that's a really subtle reference to Don Quixote. Nice one, Yahtz.

Ok, does Yahtzee's voice sound slightly different in this video than the others to anyone else? It's like RageNineteen impersonating him or something.

Should I feel bad about not caring for the black guy and actually got shocked when the dog got shot?

Jam is a great(funny) read, glad I picked it up. Looking forward to your next book!

2:45 I always laugh when he describes german shepard cuz it's so true lol.

I just noticed that the voice for some parts of the audio-book add were gabe from lets drown out.

Can`t believe he didn`t mention the umbevievebly unrealistic space physics...

Yeah, I could tell as soon as I saw the trailers on TV, I knew it was gonna be exactly the same unrealistic load of crap that Crap Ops II was. And unsurprisingly, I was right.

had never seen or heard of your channel before brotha...amazing ppl and things such as this seem to only pop up when its two thirty in the morning and you have work at 6am and reddit has taken over your innocent night of surfing the web

4:38 nice Don Quixote reference; Tilting at windmills.

Does Activision know that the South America is made up of more than one country?

haven't started yet can't wait

DON QUIJOTE DE LA MANCHA Haha that was an awesome reference!

6:14. That pic XD It's like it symbolizes the struggles of humanity vs the jam.

Even if you love CoD DO-NOT-BUY-THIS!!!!

I think Yahtzee needs to review Okami. It's a game that is surprisingly unique in both game play and storyline. It also avoids the gray color tone that most games today suffer from. However, it is on the Wii. So take from that what you will.

This is probably the best Zero Punctuation I have ever seen.

I swear mate one day im going to drop dead from laughter when watching these videos

Maybe they'll do something fresh, interesting, and imaginative with the next game. And maybe my shit will turn purple and smell like rainbow sherbet.

One of my favorite comments about Ghosts was something to the effect of >CoD has a dog as a main character before it has a woman as a main character. It says so much, doesn't it? Even Gears of War (which I loved because sometimes you need to embrace the part of your mind that loves the idea of a chainsaw bayonet) got in on that whole 'diversity' thing better than you, CoD. And the Gears live in the remnants of an authoritarian-style society's apocalyptic future but we can STILL find more Non White Men to include than you with your seven billion people on Earth.

Man. That Don Quixote reference. subtle and beautiful

"And secondly; ORBITAL FUCKING MISSILE WEAPON?!" lol
