Watching FullRam after watching ZP for years is like waking up in an alternate timeline.

One thing I noticed was that in zero punctuation Yahtzee's TV was still a large CRT even recently. Now that he's free of corporate control he was finally able to upgrade to a flat screen.

I'm going to be honest, the idea of sending Robocop, of everyone in the entire station, to go collect signatures on a birthday card is *hilarious.* By the time he's done the next birthday will have rolled around!

Hearing Yahtzee's unrestrained swears again is like honey to my eardrums.

All that said, "faithfully adapt a nostalgic IP" _is_ a bold new direction, when compared to the industry standard practice of "hammer on an abandoned project until it vaguely resembles your licensed IP and then slap on a thin coat of paint to hide the worst of the scuff marks."

Ah, feels good to hear Yahtzees humor uncensored

Robocop trundling around the police station getting people to sign a Get Well Soon card for someone does definitely show some faithfulness to the source material, because that absolutely sounds like something that would happen in one of the sillier moments of the original movies.

Good use of the sponsor here guys, not invasive whatsoever! Glad to see you’ve got more revenue streams, long may it last!

I still can’t get over that this isn’t Windows Movie Maker, whatever Yahtz is using now he’s really good at it

I'd buy it for more than a dollar

Definitely not the best game in the world, but it does exactly what it needs to, and sometimes, that's all you can ask for. I really love the changing background colors, it adds adds enough variety to keep me more engaged than I already was. I'm glad you can continue the Zero Punctuation style while making this it's own better thing. Amazing job, all of you.

I love that Yahtzee is using every background colour EXCEPT yellow. I love this :)

I think the thing that most impressed me about Robocop is that it's fun. Like even the side quests are taking the piss out of the setting and it's wonderful. Early on there's a side quest where Robocop acts as customer service, and I'm like 'I would play a whole game of Robocop as customer service.' It's very fun.

100 years Fully Ramblomatic, forever and ever, 100 years!

“Trolls 4: Any Troll’s a goal” is outstanding.

There’s something about this game’s art style that really clicks for me. The faithful translation of 80’s practical (and low budget) sets and costumes works with the more modern, photorealistic graphics to kinda feel like it’s being filmed on set. It’s a neat vibe.

I’m so impressed with how quickly y’all pivoted to this. You hit the ground sprinting. I’m sure The Escapist has barely realized what happened by now. Well done!

Anyone else notice how a few of the Second Wind creators have made their dogs characters in their shows? Honestly it really works for me.

My existential dread at possibly losing Yahtzee when all the completely moronic BS went down at _the other place_ went down has been replaced with sheer delight at seeing him not skip a single beat or miss a single episode of fast-talking-completely-unfiltered-critic. And thank the gods for that. The world is going to hell in a handbasket as it is, and we don't need to lose any more of the little things that help us cope.

It's so funny at the escapist I remember there were struggles with trying to put the sponsored section really early or before the credits, and then as soon as you guys get your own channel, you nail where to put it directly after the music starts playing so we get that old ZP final gag effect

More than a few of the RoboCop side quests felt a lot like the dark satire that was so present in the first movie. Loved it!

Okay, listen here, Yahtzee, a stealth-action game based on Darkman would be goddamn amazing and you know it.

I want Teyon to have another go at Rambo. Their Robert Cop game should be more than enough proof that they might be ready to come full circle with their redemption arc.

I like how Yahtzee uses his dog to replace the imps from ZP. That's cute. 😊

You know, I worried that this shift to FR from ZP would be a tough adjustment considering I’ve been watching these videos since I was like 14 years old. But honestly I’m realizing (pretty obviously) the background color or exact design makes no difference, I’ve been coming for Yahtzee’s writing, and that’s as good as it’s always been 🙌🏻

The game feels like robocop and I guess that is all one can ask for.

I think green is the best of the background colors, it's striking while still letting the text onscreen be perfectly legible at a fast pace.

I wish this game referenced the “Robo wants an Oreo” incident

I love the little slides with the dog getting up to mischief. He's so impish.

I’ll never skip the credits or ads at the end because of the glorious theme music.

I’ve been watching you guys since before I had gone into the military. I returned with ptsd a few years ago. Every single one of you have helped me readjust better to society after being gone for years, thank you and congratulations on breaking off and setting such a great foundation for yourselves.

Funny how the two games currently reviewed for FR has been about games that Yahtzee wasn't too keen on per se, but nevertheless respected from an artistic standpoint: Alan Wake 2 was really up its own arse, but at least they committed to it, and RoboCop: Rogue City might not be the best as such, but at least they carved out a nice little niche for themselves in the nostalgia circuit.

If there's one film more 80s than Robocop it's Die Hard. Shame they never got Rickman to play a Robocop villain, he'd crush it.

excellent. leaving a comment for the algorithm. I can only pray the new channel finds the continued growth is deserves. excellent visuals, music, and everything else. thank you all for doing what you are doing

I can't help but think that the RoboCop movies could've been improved by including a scene where the ocp psychiatrist forces social interaction upon RoboCop by making him gather signatures for a get well card from other police officers.

last week episodes felt like a good start. this episode feels like business as usual but better! given the timeframe that is mighty impressive. so props to all of second wind for settling in so darn rapidly after a turbulent turn of events, hope it continues on!

The developer also seems to be quite capable on the technical side of things. Digital Foundry noted that this game is actually the first good third-party usage of the modern features of Unreal Engine 5 on consoles (and they actually just posted a video about that today).

Feels like Yahtzee enjoyed this one. The game and the review. To all at Second Wind - all power in the 'verse to you, and long may you reign.

I wanna give some positive feedback about the sponsorship timing! Having it at the end, but also giving 2 or 3 beats for the abruptness of the ending music to land works perfectly, it doesn’t mess with the flow or pacing of the episode, it lets Yahtzee do his thing and then it gets to the sponsorship. I remember some of the experimentation with sponsorship placement back at The Other Place, and this is a great spot to put it!

I genuinely live it because it’s a accurate representation of a beloved classic

It's a weird sign that this game is the best Robocop sequel we've gotten since the original. And no Robocop's Mortal Kombat kameos don't count, even if they also got Peter Weller back.

This review style feels somewhat different than zp, where I was quite often under the impression that there was nothing positive about the game at all. Here, it's always very clear what you liked and didn't while still being very funny. It feels more balanced, both on the description vs review axis and the funny vs non-funny axis. I like it a lot. 👍🏻

I enjoyed it as it was RoboCop that I haven't watched. It scratches that nice nostalgia itch, and it isn't garbage.

I will say, the one thing I miss from ZP is definitely the imps. The dog just doesn't work as well to represent generic mooks, since it's much less socially acceptable to kill en masse.

I can't even be upset about having to be made aware of the Robocop canon, because I spent an unnecessary amount of time explaining Saw to people

I think it's refreshing that a game knows that it's exactly as good as it needs to be, it does what it needs to do, and it doesn't overstay its welcome. Not every game needs to try to be a 200+ hour GOTY

Played it. Worth playing. It feels like another entrance into the original movies.

Well, as an unapologetic 80s geek I enjoyed the hell out of Rogue City, warts and all. I even enjoyed the stomping-around-town bits, since it let me live out the completely unrealistic power fantasy of being a cop who actually tries to protect the innocent.

I guess there was a demand for a shooter with tank controls like in the old Resident Evil games. I will say it felt great hearing Peter Weller as Robocop again.

"...any trolls a goal" might be one of Yahtzee's best lines he has ever written

Once again pleased at the color choices, the beige isn't as eye searing as I would have expected. Loving this series

Christ, TEYON? I haven't heard that name in a long while, they made this fantastic wizard-themed puzzle game for the DSi with a formula I've not seen replicated since. There wasn't a whole lot to it, but it was supremely satisfying.

The new red background is *so* much better. Thanks for listening to us, Yahtz ❤

I like to imagine every time a new video comes out and the patreon screen scrolls there's a Gamurs CEO wriggling on the floor in pain

Is it just me, or is Yahtz being slightly more positive here than he was over at ZP? I like it, honestly. It's a nice change.

Surprised yatzee didn't mention the detective minigame at all. Seems like the sort of thing he'd rag on.

Even just the fact that put the sponsor at the end of the video shows how much better the Second wind team are as an indie group. Great work as always folks

Still wild to me that these are the guys who made Bird Mania 3D, a very simple 3DS eShop game some of my forum buddies got a bit addicted to a solid decade ago

Just got made aware of this channel from QosmicVoid's video on the fall of The Escapist and Qosmic stroking Yahtzee's massive, well-earned ego. I am a long-time Zero Punctuation fan, and was heartbroken to hear about it's fall. So much so, that I withdrew from the discussion entirely, for fear of tainting my nostalgia of the series I loved growing up. I read Mogworld more times than I remember, and have a special place in my heart for Jam, and when I saw a video done in the Zeeo Punctuation style by Qosmic, I thought it would be a good book-end to that chapter of my past. But nope, here we are, back on the train of wonderful content, wonderful creators, and sticking it to corporations that don't care about the lifeblood of their own company. It makes me so happy, seeing you all didn't give up, or were forced to stop. I doubt this comment will be seen, and if it is, you'd need to be some kind of Buddhist saint to read through my drivel, but if you do and you did, I want to say, from the bottom of my heart: Thank you for being an inspiration to so many. You lot are champions in my eyes; people defiantly striking out against the unjust, while still doing the things you not only love, but that we love too. Thank you so much. I wish you all nothing but the best. You'll have my viewership until the end.

They’re good at making games for fans of whatever franchise it is It’s the fan service that makes it so well received

Seeing the amount of patrons, the quickly rising sub count, and even getting some sponsorships for the vids makes me feel really good about the future of Second Wind. Way to stick it to the greedy corporate bastards!

I'm down for some of that 80s nostalgia

1:13 Well look at it this way yatzhee, they did learned their mistake and improved significantly

I accidentally had the speed set to 1.25 and blimey, I just thought Yahtzee was in a bit more of a rush this week until I realised halfway through. 😂

Second wind has given me so much content that I enjoy that I hadn't even considered to watch back at the Escapist. Yall are doing fantastic work.

My god, thank you for finally balancing the intro music to be loud but not ear splitting.

We need more games like this. This typenof stuff once filled out the catalogue of consoles like the PS2. Not every game should be trying to be AAA.

Cowboy Yahtzee and his doggo is back!!!!

I really liked how the sponsor was done with the video. It didn't feel heavy handed & was something that I'm genuinely interested it. Well done video team.

Week 2 as a channel, breaking #21 on trending. Gj, loving the new independent channel.

It doesn't feel like a Wednesday without a new Yahtzee video to enjoy. 👍

Well if nothing else ED-209's AI being kinda shit is an impressive commitment to accuracy.

The sponsorship coming right at the end but not interrupting the smash cut to loud music is PERFECT.

Judging by the stream of this game you guys did on Second Wind Live the AI was given the least amount of thought in certain spaces. There were moments where dudes were just slowly advancing at the human-shaped tank that is RoboCop like they were immortal. There was also this NPC squad of SWAT officers that leisurely strolled, guns ready, through the building with all the veracity of a bunch of hand puppets (offset comedically by the very earnest clips of their voiced dialouge). All that said, jank or not, it's probably the most effective and streamlined "power fantasy movie franchise tie-in game" ever released (apart from the original Spider Man 2)

I like the color changes of the backgrounds good job friends

congrats on getting sponsor, keep going strong

WHAAA? The ad read is at the end of the video? Wow that's (Unironically) innovation that I'm here for

I notice that the bagel ground detailing on the edges has changed from a darker tone to a lighter one. This is so much better and less distracting, excellent change 🙏

Excellent work on the sponsorship placement! Liked the review as well. Teyon's not the greatest dev out there, but they have their niche and are pretty damn good with it.

Welcome back Yaz!

I think a soft blue would be a nice default background. Love the new channel!

thank you for placing the sponsor at the end of the video to not be intrusive to the video, literally makes me more open to watch it instead of just skipping it. Glad to have you back👍

Honestly would love to see more shooters like this game, a very unique fps.

That does sound kinda fun! I’m curious if Teyon will be able to make good enough adaptations going forward and improve their skill at it or if they will use the success to create something original and risk it all.

As much as I love movement shooters (I've played quite a lot of them, my favorite game is DOOM Eternal), even I have to admit that there are quite a lot to keep up with these days, so it was just nice to have a game that was slower and straight up made you a walking tank, which is how I usually think of when I think RoboCop. And as a fan of the films, I'd say Teyon did great job, props to them

“Using a carousel to dry some embarrassing laundry” is already a beautiful simile but it landed even better for me thanks to the fact that my 20 year old dryer died this month. RIP you beautiful angel and thank you for not burning my house down as you went.

Started playing this on 1.5x speed and for a second thought Yahtzee got new energy from independent channel

Wednesdays are always enjoyable because of Yahtzee.

Love how you guys handle the sponsored ad spot. I appreciate that its at the end, not at the start or somewhere awkwardly in the middle. And, because it's you guys, I even watched it! Not sure if that effects your metrics or whatever, but I'm happy that you have sponsors!

Forgive me father, for I have sinned, I went to the escapist channel to watch the backup videos that they had.

I'm surprised he didn't praise the game for not having chest high wall mechanics.

"Legally Distinct" should be Second Wind's slogan 😂😅 [and i love it]

Really hit the game on the head here, but I found it amazingly fun being an 80s kid myself. For the alternate guns, I found the Magnum and some of the Uzis quite more effective than Robo's base weapon. As for his base weapon, the upgrades can change it enough to make it even more insanely op. Fully Automatic + Unlimited Ammo + Piercing and you can just walk through the game. When it came to the fully armored enemies, they at first took me by surprise... before I realized, as you bluntly put it, their crotch was completely unarmored.... so I took it upon myself to Spay and Neuter every one I saw!

Lucky enough to have randomly found ZP early on and gottah say, 2 episode in and already the intro song sounds familiar (granted watched the song vid once and 1st FR video a few times). So thankful for the warm cozy blanket of familiarity that we're blessed to still have. Little things in life, man, make such an effin' difference in these times of challenge. Much love and respect to all, eh ~a random canadian viewer

It's always nice to hear Yahtzee snark about video games, and now he's able to fully ramble about them😉😁😏😆

I'm still getting used to coming here on a Wednesday and not the Escapist website.

I think we have a new contender for most backhanded ZP/FR episode, cause that was a seamless transition from genuinely praising to condescendingly praising.

I will say I do miss those little imp guys, the new doggie stand-in is cute and probably a leftover design delve asset, but those imps were iconic. Gonna miss those lil guys 😢

Yahtzee seems a lot more chill on this new channel
