Crackdown 3 (Zero Punctuation) 

Crackdown 1: agency is the evil guys Crackdown 2: bbeg steals a hand of the supersoldier after slicing it off with a helicopter. Crackdown 3: ignoring those endings?

THANK YOU! Someone brought up the whole ‘Agency Twist’ from Crackdown One. That was never explained, followed up or anything.

Imagine a joke about vaccinations aging this well mid pandemic

Ah, the good ol' "Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" thing of "Hire impressive actor for a quarter-hour's work by writing his character out in the opening sequence". And probably nothing anywhere near as remarkable as "Sean Bean's character doesn't die!"

I did it. I have watched every Zero Punctuation since the dawn of time. I have seen memes born and predictions of natural elections come true. Never again will I miss a reference, for I have become the reference.

"Cheaper than a baby bird with tourette's syndrome." Not gonna lie, I'm stealing this to use with my friends and family.

“I’ve got so many sandboxes in my house, my cat uses one as a toilet.” -quote of the week

Do you ever just see a zero punctuation thumbnail and go: "this won't end well"

When the best thing about your game is the Terry Crews commercials, that might be a sign there's a problem.

1:56 What!?!? I thought you played as Terry Crews in the game! Now I'm definitely not gotta buy it!

CRACKDOWN 3 : cause clearly what CRACKDOWN needed was a dash of Old Spice 😁👌

I remember reading articles years ago about how the consoles playing this game were going to connect as a sort of distributed system to make calculations for realistic destruction. Later there was some BS about using the power of Microsoft Cloud. In the end the destruction in Red Faction Guerrilla, a game from 10 years ago, still looks much better

oof, that vaccination joke really hits differently today

- Yahtzee, that's cheating. - Oh hush, I'm just using the tools that are available. If anything, blame the guy that left the window open.

Crackdown 2 plus 1: electric boogaloo now with *power of cloud*

The mech boss he referred to can be more easily cheesed by jumping above his arena and shooting him through the skylight which was conveniently left open. If you're playing on Legendary, bring the grenade that refills your decimator and Anubis because running back to the supply point gives the boss all his health back

Crackdown? More like Let Down, amIrigh?

"Everyone understands that vaccinations work". Oh ever the optimist, Yahtzee

Crackdown 3 has Pink wafer biscuits? I like them. I won't buy Crackdown 3, but I will pick up a pack of Pink wafer biscuits on the way home.

So this is a third game in the series this year that was made too late and its features feel utterly archaic in modern times. Where have I Kingdom Hearts this before.

This video is infinitely more enjoyable because I know somebody who worked very hard on Crackdown.

"Newest first" is the best setting for ZP comments, all the new viewers asking "Is....is he....Is this how these videos always sound....?"

Yatzhee, thank you for making a Tourette joke that was funny and didn't rely on swearing. As a Tourette sufferer, it was very nice.

"That's cheaper than a baby bird with torrents syndrome" I don't think I understand the jo-OH MY GOD

Was wondering why this episode came out hour early, then I remembered US had already switched over to summer time.

Love the fact that at 3:51. He uses an image of the UTS 15 shotgun.

You can absolutely play as Terry Crews. He is the player character that talks the most. And thanks for the pro-tip Yahtz! I kinda wished I had more skyscrapers to scale. And a sniper rifle, used to be you could snipe a baddie from a much higher position and you'd get one agility point from it. I also miss the quacker.

Compare the amount of views the Zero Punctuation series gets to the other videos on this channel

Oh man. I remember that boss. Kept getting wiped out every time I tried. So I got creative and scaled the building and jumped in through the open roof, glided to a perch I could stand on up there, and rained explosive hell down on the jerk well out of harms way because no one in the dev department programed a “aim all the way to the ceiling” logic gate into the AI’s code. It’s shocking how gratifying it was to cheese the enemy to death like that, when it was a massive Dark Souls brand boss fight in their own right.

Yes I couldn’t wait for this

Yahtzee just inspired me on how to explain something to people: I'm currently at new job. I'm meeting several co-workers who are fellow gamers. They ask me what game I'm playing ATM. I tell them "Rust". They've all never heard of it. I tell them, "ummm... It's a survival multiplayer game..." I try to think of how to explain Rust's particular style of this, and can't think of anything that'll fit a brief description, so I just say it can be 500 people on a map at one time and leave it at that. No. Now I have a brief summary. I think it's great: "I play Rust mostly. It's a survival sandbox with up to 500 players. Everyone builds a town together, but everyone is a drooling pychotic asshole. It's a lot of fun."

Your not the only person who remembers. I like the C1 twist. And the idea that each boss needed a different strategy to defeat was nice.

No DMC5? Yahtzee truly is on the side of Nintendo for their betrayal by Capcom

Terry Crews chose this over Overwatch. Let that sink in!

Wow, first time I saw one of his videos on day of release. I thank my Video Game Theory teacher for introducing me to him.

I always loved how Crackdown had like no story but still had a twist ending. Also, Crackdown w was pretty good. The freaks and the day/night thing were pretty awesome. I was hoping there would be more from the terrorist grpup in this one, but apparently not.

Yup, the moment i heard few years ago that the highlight of the project is going to be "cloud computing" used for environmental destruction calculation i knew that project was doomed ... Google Stadia will probably have a similar fate.

I don't think any other chanel constantly gets me to say OH SNAP! This chanel nearly always does.

I would like to see a DMC5 (Zero Punctuation) video from you.

I wish ya had a video for Hyper Light Drifter, and hope that you make one for Solar Ash Kingdom.

2:42 oof

If I’m honest, I’m fairly certain that the twists were followed up, both of them. Cell is practically none existent, the Agency is now a _global_ peacekeeping force rather than a _local_ one(which was their goal in Crackdown 2), and virtually everyone, including anarchists and megalomaniacs like the leaders of Terranova and Echo, the leader of the Resistance, see the Agents as the only ones who can foil their plans/save the day. Mind control isn’t always as overt as one might think(for those not privy, the beacons and conduits you activated in Crackdown 2 were actually built with two purposes: destroy the Freaks, and help power up a massive mind-control device atop the Keep, the agency’s headquarters. It was set off at the end, and now it’s virtually impossible to keep the agents _out_ of any city or nation)

*_OLD SPICE BODYWASH IS TO POWERFUL TO LET THIS VIDEO END!!_*

LOLed at the imps cutting off Yahtzee's head, the running gag of Yahtzee being killed... and some other stuff.

Yahzee is always welcome to use clever ways of looking down my top lol. Only until he sees and here's the little "!" show up over my head and the combat music kick in

Surprisingly, Yahtzee's comment about chickens wasn't hyperbole. There are approximately 24 billion chickens compared to approximately 8 billion humans. Meaning there is in fact 3 chickens for every human.

I actually liked this game just because it was pure fun, not many games like that now I remember Yahtzee describing games as like a second job and a lot are. But this was just crazy fun and I like it for that

This was so hype when they revealed it but then it fell off my radar and then it just released. I didn't hear a single thing about it untill now.

I entirely forgot this game came out.

The extent of my knowledge of this series is that there's a giant toilet in one I think.

Wow I was literally just in the middle of my weekly ZP binge

Hyped for his Sekiro review

Savage, yet OH MY GOD SO VERY ACCURATE!

At 3:23 I saw that the PS2 game is actually Spiderman on GameCube, I did a double take as soon as I saw it

This dude's reviews are so bizarre it's amazing

Yes!!! Why did they not touch up one the first crackdown ending?!?!

Incredible how the third game in a franchise also feels like the most archaic

As someone that loves to play crackdown 3 (campaign) this video is extremely on point and fair. I still play the game but for the fun factor, just like the old crackdown, plus the dev team is working on bringing updates and fixing the game, so im just glad the game turned out like how i expected it, it will be trashed at reception but ultimately turn into a good game with a cult following. Also do a vidoeo on DMC5 its very much the definitive dmc game imo, i still play 3 but 5 is where its at

And the punchline is that Crackdown 3 looks WORSE than the FIRST one.

Ooooh. Popcorn ready.

0:58 Those balls are huge! well done good sir 👍

Finally someone else talking about the end of the first game! Are they ever actually going to run with that or are they just going to leave it as a storyless game forever I wonder.

Budget used by the devs to hire Terry Crews: $500,000,000 Budget used by the devs to make the game: $5,000,000

2:38 oh how on the nose that statement is for the last 2 years...

Crackdown 3: Red Faction NonMartian Clone can't wait for a Kenshi review!

Just do crackdown 1 again but fix the stiff controls. It's difficultly curve and structure are unique still. Others have tried and failed to duplicate it's simplicity and effectiveness

Looking forward to the Sekiro review in 2 months! Although it will be negative, at least if he expects it to be as dark and oppressive as my mood in college.

I still kinda want to know if the agency is evil because it was heavily implied if not outright said in 1 and 2.

I lost my composure and busted up laughing at "But Yahtzee, that's cheaper than a baby bird with Tourette Syndrome". Had to pause the video for a while. Bravo!

I REALLY want a DMC 5 Review

going for mercy kill lol

March 2019 - an innocent time when "people know vaccinations work"

I think Yahtzee is my spirit animal.

Where is the devil may cry 5 though? Looking forward to that!

I’m calling my new band The Brackish Mungs.

Finishing JAM, that's the last one. Are there any other books planned?

"we all agree that vaccinations work" is a phrase that should have aged better than it did.

I didn't even know it was released

I thought that twist was in Crackdown 2. Its been a while.

Easy money for Terry Crews. Billed as the headliner, took a whiff of the script and knew he was the opening act for one so bad that he couldn't possibly bomb worse.

LOL it's a MILSIG SMG @ 4:31 Nice

Cool video!

I'm disappointed that the guy with the icon above his head who said "sorry I'm late" didn't have an Internet Explorer icon...

God damnit the only reason I was getting this was the destruction physics

Damn, that last joke had me blurt out, “OH, SHIT!!!” Mercy kill, for sure!

Has he played anythig this year he's like dam rough start

Well one of the points of the crackdown series is that the agency is bad and there sending you to destroy anyone who would want to take down the agency

Literally said oof when I saw this video in my sub box.

The only sandbox I still want it's Pokémon, which will never come.

...I MUST have heard of this series before. But... I can't for the life of me remember it. I feel so... disconnected. Are pogs still cool? How does everyone feel about windbreaker?

I saw crackdown 3 as a large scale vergion of Lt. Surge's gym with all those damn force fields. seriously though, force fields inside other force fields, could they not come up with another mechanic?

I remember the first game's ending. Don't insult me, Yahtzee, before I get some fresh intel

I'm starting to realize why Valve might not be so keen on releasing an official third game in any of their franchises.

Roasted!

And what about the ending of crackdown 2 where the leader of the rebels acquires your severed hand and is now able to create it's own agents

Everyone wanting a review for DMC5 is going to have to wait awhile. He put that in the summer drought reserves.

Officer Hyperion rides again.

Which sequel were you guys anticipating the most , this or Kingdom Hearts 3 ?

This was published on my birthday :D

You already know Yahtzee's gonna shred this one
