I tried to hunt this down after seeing a small gameplay snippet that grabbed my interest. Putting aside the fact that it technically cannot be sold in Australia because it was refused classification (thank god for G2A), I finished the game an hour or so ago and to it's credit, it isn't that bad for a run-of-the-mill FPS. The games bread and butter mechanics are easy enough to use, the guns work like guns should, hitboxes are fine, health damage is clearly indicated and chest high walls are adequately chest height and so and so on. The spin, for lack of a better word, applied to these mechanics is the button-prompt hacks that Yahtzee mentioned as "long distance use buttons", which is exactly what they are, but between the 3 enemy manipulation abilities and intractable objects (dont forget the x-ray bullet time) in the combat spaces, I'd say it provides enough variation to the combat to keep it interesting for the 20 or so stages. I also like the way harder enemies and bosses are built, having to use your player abilities to crack their armour and make them vulnerable so you can whittle down their health. Although, these enemies and bosses get easier as the game progresses thanks to new weaponry and upgrades you collect. I never played the original Syndicates, but the story made enough sense to a newcomer and I was invested in the characters and story enough to bother finishing the game for its conclusion, which was mildly disappointing, but potentially left open for a sequel. All in all, I'd recommend the game as something to blast through in a day when releases are slow, to me it's worth the $7 I payed for it.
You don't actually MISS it, because this game was bad at the time. It's just a monumental indictment of how much WORSE everything has gotten over the course of the last decade. Little did we know that what we believed to be the bottom of the barrel actually had a cunningly-concealed hidden hatch built into it leading to a shaft tunneling _right down into the Earth's core!_
I like seeing how the RU-vid algorithm connects zp videos to each other. Like how this game is associated with the Turok reboot in the spirit of FPS reboots nobody asked for and sold like shit.
It was actually a pretty decent game in its own right. For some reason, this game reminds me of Shogo: Mobile Armor Division: the style and mechanics were superb and unique, but the experience was too short-lived for its own good.
I feel the need to remind you that one of the greatest games of the current generation, Spec:Ops The Line, which also made #1 on Yahtzee's best games of 2012 list, is a third person cover-based shooter. There is nothing wrong with cover-based shooting as a game element as long as it's not the only game element.
I feel like i'm one of the few people who truly enjoyed this game. I found the co op quite fun and I like the cyberpunk genre personally, enjoyed the concept quite a bit.
I liked this game too, but the campaign was way too short... Much like he said, I like the whole aspects of it, and the obviously expansive lore behind this world, but why no love for this except multiplayer... Which nobody on the PSN is playing..
0:33 For the record, I myself was by that point no longer in my father's bollocks in 1993. On the date of this game's original release, I was a fetus tucked safely in my mother's womb. So comfortable was I in that womb, I was two weeks past my due date and my mother wanted me OUT. I don't know where I was going with this. Just felt like pointing that out for no reason. I blame the Mr. Crowshaw for this. 😂
Francis Drake It's probably gonna be a pool of microtransaction, though, if Popcap's "pvz 2lolololgiveusmoney" is to be believed.. And you need to buy it.
3:02 - 3:04 Oh, come on; Nickelback can't be THAT bad... Can they? The only Nickelback song I've ever heard is "Rockstar," and I thought that one was pretty catchy.
Dirty Blue Lots of music in general is samey bullshit, that doesn't stop douchebags the world over from praising the newest "black man rhyming slightly quickly in a normal speaking voice.mp3"
One of the co-creators of Syndicate and Syndicate Wars is currently running a Kickstarter for a faithful spiritual sequel to the traditional RTS Syndicate series called: "Satellite Reign" for PC Mac and Linux, hitting 23% of its goal in the first 24 hours. They've also hinted at the possibility of console release although the only console I could see working with its RTS controls is the Wii U and MAYBE the PS4 if you use the touchpad like a laptop trackpad.
"Thats like a Final Fantasy game being too short...actually nevermind that. Its like a Final Fantasy game being too good. Its the sky falling in our heads!"
in the game red orchestra 2, you do that, and there is also a cover system for a reason since you die in like 2 or 3 shots, that is if they are placed since your weapons are a bit inaccurate.
Actually I want a go at this too. Saints Row 2, Batman Arkham Asylum and City, Spec Ops the Line, Infamous 1 and 2, Prototype 1 and 2, Driver San Francisco, Hawx, Call of Juarez Bound in Blood, Thief the Dark Project, The Prince of Persia Trilogy, Fallout 3, Skyrim, Legend of Zelda Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, Super Mario Sunshine and Galaxy, Condemned, Deus Ex and Deus Ex Human Revolution, Minecraft, Assassin's Creed 1 and 2, Angry Birds, Resistance 3, Symphony of the Night and Yakuza 4
He actually did, if not always in their own review. I am quite sure on all of those besides Twilight Princess, because I've been watching all over again some time ago...
What I hated most is how different it was from the old Syndicate's story. In this one it's all about hurf durf rebels doing hurf durf for human rights. Whereas the old one was 'Human rights? Can you put a price on it? If you can't put a price on it, it doesn't exist' Kinda like EA is today. ...OH GOD IT NOW MAKES SENSE!
A lot of them are games that he has at least recommended or has implied to have liked in his videos or in Extra Punctuation. For the ones you mentioned, he explained his enjoyment of Twilight Princess in the Skyward Sword ExP, reccomended Galaxy in his video of it, Ass Creed over all of his vids on the franchise and his nomination for 2010 game of the year in ExP and Angry Birds during the Iphone Games review. They're not usually without critiques but otherwise yes he does like them.
It's an old-fashioned coffee bean grinder: see f.e. www.shutterstock.com/pic-801491/stock-photo-vintage-coffee-grinder-with-coffee-beans-around-it.html. I played with one my grandmother owned when I was a wee little kid :)
Robbert-Jan merk we have nut grinder in my hause,put nuts in it and grind them to little powder or crisps and them put them on cake or cookie,its pretty good.
here's the quick guide to "Games Yahtzee Likes": 1. Compelling Story 2. Decent Gameplay 3. Open Sandbox Freedom Usually, you'll need 2 out of 3 to impress him, although some games - like Silent Hill 2 and Spec Ops: The Line - get by with just the story because they're really, really, really great.
Google: 'paradox cartel' its a game that is more like syndicate except from the name, rumors came out that paradox were making a 'not syndicate' game and it has been announced as 'Cartel'. look at the rockpapershotgun interview with Paradox for more information :)
Psychonauts, Minecraft, Silent Hill 2, Assassins Creed 1+2, Saints Row 2, Bioshock, Skyrim, Fallout 3, and pretty much anything made by Valve. There's others too I just can't remember them off of the top of my head, or somebody else has already mentioned them.
What we didn't need was another CoD clone, what we did need was a modern update of the original games which I loved as a youngster. Should have been on the pc too.
1.The main thing that people loved the original shadowrun for was the combination of story, intrigue, solving conspiracies, and combat. Shadowrun 2007 only had combat, and even then the combat was very limited in comparison to what it could have been 2.Look at XCOM. Its best reboot was the strategy reboot, because the original game was built as a strategy. Making the transition to shooter is not only hard, but barely scrapes the surface of the game's potential.
Syndicate = Xcom... (from 2012) Syndicate: managing your soldiers weapons, while doing research and moving through territorial places. Xcom: Managing your troops weapons,armour and skill, while researching and moving through countries.
He probably refers to it as a copy for the reviewer to examine it and give his opinion and let them change. Review copies are actually, you know, finished copies.
I love when that anytime someone comments a Yahtzee video they have to do it with some sort of Yahtzee-esqu insult or simile. Like a school girl trying to be popular by saying thing daft things popular girls say. (that was terrible but you get my point)
Final Fantasy 6, The first two Monkey Islands, Thief 2, Hitman: Blood Money, Just Cause 2, Doom 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Prototype 1 and 2, Skyrim, and Braid. More still?
Quick, tag out! I got this, bro. TF2, Skyrim (a bit), Just Cause 2, Dead Rising 2, Amnesia, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Bioshock, Minecraft... OK, someone else can tag in now.
Portal, Minecraft, Painkiller, Spec Ops the Line, No more heroes, maybe Day Z, etc. It's actually quite a long list, surprisingly. Ohh and BTW, he loves Silent Hill 2, not one.
dont starve: treegaurd's health: 1400, 2000, 2500. damage to player 35 50 62. 105, 155, 186. the bosses have differing stats and come at random the maps and drops are random. just like in issac if you're still going to complain that its not random enough then stop being a critic and make a game thats up to your standards
Yahtzee did say that he liked Final Fantasy 6, so that's probably where he got the confusion even though it's still completely arbitrary considering the rest of the whole FFXIII review.
It's flagged for copyright which is really strange given that all the zero punctuation before the last were never flagged. I don't get it. Looks like all of Zero punctuation won't be posted anymore. Bummer.
Psychonauts, Resistance 3, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City, Deus Ex, Dishonored, Spec Ops: The Line. I think i've done my part. Who wants to ad more?
Just in case you didn't notice, I'm not the same guy who asked if you were deaf. I'm just some asshole that stumbled across the beginning of an argument I actually don't care for. I liked one or two Nickleback songs at one point or another. No band is above excessive ridicule depending on the point of view.
Umashin Kind of. The main difference I think is that XCOM is Round based, you and the enemies move and do shit with "action" points. Original Syndicate is real time. The new syndicate is (who would have guessed) a first person shooter baically. Completely different from the original.
I find it weird that Syndicate didn't make it to his top 5 worst of 2012... He banged on about this game a ton through out the year and then some more in other videos.
