Close to the Sun (Zero Punctuation) 

review mordhau

Didn't the guy who was PR-ing this channel just recently say that Yahtzee videos might not be posted a week early on the site anymore?

i like how everyone forgot that epic games was stealing user data, and steam user data, and was selling it to china

@@disguyovaheere8140 Steam and EA and Ubisoft and Microsoft and Apple and Google and Facebook all do the same thing.

Burn..

That shit, is soooo going on the Blandest Games of 2019 list. I'd put money on it.

...if you follow me

To quote Noob Noob, "God Damn!"

@@denzelgist6922 This guy gets it.

@@abloogywoogywoo Anthem will be on the list as well most likely.

This meta narrative makes the game GotY for the rest of time/until detarune is finished

I was gonna make that joke, but, as you've pointed out, it's much too obvious.

Truly a shame

Bryce Plummer I colinda wanna use that irl

Oh, the irony.

lol, burn on the developers and their "science always is evil!" bullshit.

Not entirely true, their is a metric ton of bootleg games that rip off other bootleg games. So your not safe ripping off shit if you don’t improve it meaningfully.

Well, Resistance 3 ripped off Half-Life 2 and just improved the shooting mechanics and the graphics to a degree...so it is doable.

Mortal Engines < Mad Max Fury Road

IMO Dishonored had the same problem, it kept reminding me of Thief and the first Deus Ex.

Out of their own insecurities due to their solitary working brain cell got knocked out by a variation of sports-ball.

Truth be told, you should probably play Bioshock

And if you play Bioshock and you've also played System Shock 2, your reactions will be like "...System Shock 2?"

Even my dog, that has only ever played fetch, was like "...Bioshock?"

Highly acclaimed 10 year old game, not unusual to know the plot at this point.

WTF? O_o

I almost choked on my soda.

@@vegisamalzero3681 Damn, were you that unhappy with the sequel?

@@vegisamalzero3681 BS2 is a perfectly good sequel, not better than the first one, but it's not trying to be.

@@insaincaldo I believe Yahtzee himself hates Bioshock 2. Not dislikes, HATES. Which pleases me because that game absolutely deserves it.

@@horsemask Hm.. guess it is better to be a bland ripoff, then a bad sequel. To be honest I barely remember Bio2

@@i_am_ergo Had even better gameplay and the best ending in the series!

Every damn time

Every Wednesday I come home bummed from work, open up RU-vid and yell "Oh, it's this time of the week!" X)

Your Mom's House episodes come out on Wednesdays too, and my cat is named Wednesday. I guess Wednesday is a super dope day of the week

*gold

*told.

*hold

*bold.

And accurate.

I smell a retro-revieeeeeew

No, it's not, Bioshock is a widely known game for it's narrative.

@@cabrondemente1 Right, and the point is that the literal most widely recognizable aspects of Bioshock are the thing they ripped off.

​@@cabrondemente1Yes it is rather telling

nah the 50 cent video still has that one

@@nicolasrube06 You made me look it up to hear it and you are correct. Holy shit! Hilarious.

The "Halo Wars"/Pedigree review is still my favorite.

It's not like Steam invented the online retailer "let's screw devs out of money for doing basically nothing" schtick

@@daggern15 Steam does quite a lot though, like, holy shit they do a lot. It's certainly not as simple as "let's screw devs out of money for doing basically nothing". Epic on the other hand...

@@Draganot1 steam has a ton of shit, there's at least four different tabs you can choose that do four different things. I *still* don't know how to use steam proper to this day and I've had it for like two years

it ranked high in the end of year round up

He said it was one of the best games of the year in the review itself, and he sped through the good parts because "no one likes a good review"

Gee, I wonder why he didn't listen to his dad. Maybe because of hubris?

no.

Considering he was freaked out by the first one due to featuring animatronics, Help Wanted would probably give the guy a heart attack.

You remind me of the guy who asked Yahtzee to review Huniepop on every ZP video for about a year. Maybe longer. Good times.

1 year ago

It's funny on how he still has the same tone for over the years.

The series started back in 2007

@@shizuwolf i thought he made his first videos in 2006 in his own channel...

Was it 07? It was my 2nd year of high school I started watching, guess it was on the back half. My B :^)

His first video was on the demo for The Darkness

You could call it "Close to the Sun - Not close enough" :)

Hers a another one for ya “ Close to the Sun” to close to bioshock

"Close to the sun" should not have seen the light of day.

Despite being "Close to the Sun", it's not that bright

It was so far from the sun, it may as well have been underwater. Oh wait.

Zeus has electric powers, Nikola Tesla uses electricity.

well , he was a human and the people who thought of greek myths were humans too!

They're both European, so everyone knows that means they have everything in common.

@Java Monsoon Legends say that someday the Alpha American will awaken from his thousand-year slumber. After consuming every IHoP around, he will then make the most amazing story you ever will see by combining Ayn Rand and Tesla together

@Alex M that does make sense.

Sounds like the cosmic thriller film Sunshine which contrary to the title is actually quite dark and harrowing.

Maybe redesign the Epic store to actually look, you know, epic. A black and gold color scheme (not unlike this game's box art) would fit the name much more than the same palette as Steam.

@@armorfrogentertainment And allow people to post reviews and interact while they're at it.

I have to agree. the endings from 2013 were more polished that the static screen at the end of this one.

MC makes a dated movie reference out of nowhere? My god, this is the Bioshock equivalent of Hunt Down the Freeman, is it?!

@@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225 I think that it's more due to it being set almost a century before Die Hard was made. It would be one thing if it were set in modern times (give or take a few decades), but considering how alien the world and plot of Die Hard is to the late 1800s is pretty amazing. Something that I only realized on the third viewing of this review is how Tesla, a cultured but eccentric Serbian immigrant, was able to get an entire city full of people in an underwater city considering that if he had the business and people skills he did in real life, then he wouldn't have died poor. At the very least, he would have married the daughter of J.P. Morgan. She was in love with him, but he wanted to devote himself to science. If the guy couldn't even be that mildly sleazy, then how and why would he create a city where there were no laws. It doesn't fit in with his personality. It made sense in Bioshock because everyone was inspired by Ayn Randian philosophy, but it just doesn't seem like what Nikola Tesla would do.

@@emmapopovic-bogdanich1991 Wait? This wasn't set in some weird, future time? (I only played the first thirty minutes). The way the women spoke sounded very modern (at least 2000 or later) so for some reason I assumed this was somehow set in present time.
