Battlefield: Hardline Cops & Robbers (Zero Punctuation)

[@willlu3220]

This sounds like a playground game. "I arrest you!" "Nuh-uh! I arrest you back harder!" "No, I arrest you to infinity!" "No, I arrest you infinity more than you arrest me!"

[@shady4091]

Infinity +1 L2playground

[@wolffoetowtech]

[@havokmusicinc]

wolffoetowtech Infinity^infinity

[@dodikerer]

wolffoetowtech I arrest you to the number of absence of any intelegent life ACCOUNTING the time before the big bangaty boom. That's an a supreme infinity!

[@shady4091]

cat command So supreme it needs both indefinite articles to describe it.

[@BFedie518]

let's take a moment to appreciate that Yahtzee flat-out ENJOYED a multiplayer mode in spunkgargleweewee.

[@thomastakesatollforthedark2231]

Whqt new strain of madness is this

[@P99AT]

I'm surprised how he didn't mention that you're rewarded with guns for arresting people, but you don't get points for killing people with guns.

[@CERTAIND00M]

"...All the controlling villains are as white as a polar bear at a bukkake shoot." Ladies and gentlemen, the Shakespeare of our generation.

[@CERTAIND00M]

***** Pervert!

[@Fjottle]

I didn't know what "Bukkake" meant so I googled it... oh god...

[@nextlifeonearth]

Joel Farrelly Though polar bears actually are black and their fur transparent. They're in no way white. Like snow is actually transparent but looks white.

[@trenchcoatjoe1891]

CapnTates Snow is white. Polar bears are the same color as snow. Polar bears are white.

[@nextlifeonearth]

Sam Rader snow is ice, ice is transparent. Polar bears are not the same colour as snow as there is even a visual distinction like seen here: www.polarbearsinternational.org/sites/default/files/styles/media_full/public/00473-06209.jpg?itok=LHRBSeKy And it's as I said, look it up.

[@sqjpure]

"The amazing human gradient" Killed me!

[@darthlobster]

Vuyisile Sibeko I feel ike someone should do this for real, just to piss off the PC Police.

[@sqjpure]

Fuck yeah! Ironically, even though I'm 100% black I would not be at the back of that gradient. To quote community: "We want to be somewhere between Seal and Seal's teeth"

[@MechWomanWarrior15]

YUP XD

[@sqjpure]

That's easy, Project Lazerus! I'm coming to get you all!!

[@RaylaEclipse]

@@darthlobster how is that not politically correct? I fail to understand how anybody would get mad at people of different colors willingly creating a group called The Amazing Human Gradient.

:D

[@teargasmuffinz6657]

TinyTachyon No thats not you have a comma tsk tsk

[@ThatGuyChristo474]

I need just a big book of Yatzhee quotes

[@SuperLordGaming]

He needs to release one :D

[@whoaitstiger]

deathstalker47 It should be like a flick book so you have to read each quote really quickly or you miss it.

[@ThatGuyChristo474]

whoaitstiger that's genius

[@Askorti]

SuperLordGaming It would be an instant bestseller. ;p

[@sailoritaly]

whoaitstiger So basically it's a whole book of "Press X not to die"?

[@augustvalek]

*throws grenade* -Were you trying to arrest me?? -...no -OMFG this guy was trying to arrest me hahahBOOM

[@physe8052]

"A grenade is the exact opposite of arresting someone. Arresting involves swiftly making an intimate new friend. Grenades involve swiftly losing one, along with everything below your waist."

[@0ldskool2121]

Same here. So much wit and humor packed into a quick 4-7 minute video

[@alexlindsay7341]

It would`ve been good as a DLC for BF4.

[@hughcopson1799]

I thought it was for the longest time :P

[@_Doskii]

But then again, bf4 would've been a good dlc for bf3..

[@Thecuregalore94]

2:40-2:45 is one of the crystallising moments that remind you that half the fun is the visual gag reel on Yahtzee's videos.

If I want to play a cop game I'll stick to L.A.Noire

[@midlifecrisi]

It's a cop game from the side of cops that doesn't exist - the ones who run around shooting everyone in sight.

I love that this channel has basically just turned into a Zero Punctuation channel with occasional videos by Jim Sterling.

[@thesinglerider8942]

To the people asking for the Bloodborne review: www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/10092-Bloodborne-review There.

[@dynostretch9215]

2:51 You know, Lego City Undercover also lets you do this very thing. You can arrest security guards while you're breaking into a museum, except that game is actually self-aware of it, the guard outright acknowledges the absurdity. "Wait, I'M getting arrested? Isn't this backwards??"

[@FakeMessiah94]

Unpopular opinion - I actually rather like Hardline (Can agree with the points on the single player though, didn't really get it for that however)

[@jroldo8353]

Rory O'Neill Part of the reason games suck today is because people like you buy every single piece of garbage they release. BF4 was still fine, so I assume you bought Hardline because it was new and it was "battlefield". Maybe wait 5 months before shelling out 120 dollars on shit next time.

[@FakeMessiah94]

Roldo Mustache How about treating my view with respect as I do yours rather than just attacking me for my alleged reasons for actually liking it? I actually picked it up for £25 on the day of release which I feel was pretty damn cheap, and I had played both Alpha and Beta and actually really enjoyed it, hence my purchase. Guess I should really be condemned for that, huh?

[@NathanCassidy721]

Roldo Mustache On the contrary, it's ass-hats like you that keep the problem around rather than solving it.

[@NathanCassidy721]

You should never have to defend something that you like because at the end of the day nobody has any say in your tastes but you. Frankly, I think a lot of people have said the game is fun BUT it does not deliver on the content-to-price-tag ratio. Considering they are trying to sell you a incomplete product at the price of a complete one and with consumer confidence in the triple-A industry at an all-time low, they were probably better off not releasing it.

[@FakeMessiah94]

Nathan Cassidy Thank you for at least having a mature response. I can agree with your points there. I still only bought it on release due to finding it for that price which I felt was reasonable, I agree it is not worth its current normal retail price. Had I not found it for the price I got it for, I would have waited for a sale of some kind.

[@DinsRune]

Reminds me of the SWAT games on PC, which I can recommend. Arresting people is the preferred method to subdue them- you're supposed to be a peace officer, after all- but it can be challenging and dangerous. It's fun to try and go fully non-lethal for the challenge, but not full-on required except for the best score.

[@UsurperKingZant]

2:51 - 3:02 I stopped all side activity I was doing and burst laughing

[@SirLankselotYT]

The difficulty meter Yahtzee made had me in tears.

[@l0stndamned]

"Skirmish house easy-line" needs to be the name of a band.

[@alhawkex]

"... So perfectly and ethically diverse that they could all line up in a order and start a novelty act called the Amazing Human Gradient" Fucking Yahtzee made me choke on my dinner. Another great ZP!

[@richard1701able]

I'm so glad Yahtzee is making new intimate friends, it must be getting very lonely in the Escapist club these days.

[@sentinel359]

This is one of the funniest reviews I've heard from you in ages HAHAHAA

[@diegofloor]

I'm listening Mogworld audiobook. And between that and ZP I feel like Yahtzee is the main factor improving my english right now.

"You're a cop on the MANTLEPIECE You've been MISTAKEN for a SLOTH you didn't commit Now you're out for A KEBAB and to clear your SCHEDULE" -You sir always have a knack for coming up with better ideas than the actual game

[@samuelevans7575]

I just finished episode 8 of this game and I am really enjoying it! It is the first game I've played where you actually get a choice to be stealthy or just violent and guns blazing. Most games that say they give you that choice are really just lying, you have to be stealthy to survive. This game does it well. I've chosen the non stealthy route and it works out great! The ammo can be limited at times, you die pretty quickly, and the guns take a long time to reload, but it is still fun to play it as a run and gun shooter. My only issue with the game is that it is too short. It would probably take longer if I played it stealthy haha.

[@smacko81]

Did I just hear Yahtzee mention multiplayer in a zero punctuation video? Unimaginable.

[@vladimirgolosin4699]

It is very gratifying to see a Battlefield game cover.... *shows modern warfare 2 * Yahtz is a legend

[@superbot3994]

"You're a Cop on the 'Mantlepiece' and you've been 'Mistaken' for a 'Sloth' You didn't commit and you're out for 'A Kebab' and to clear your 'Schedule'." Fucking gold.

[@nardisdassler]

Peeled my eyes open @ 1:30am because my phone told me the escapist has a new video 100% worth xD

[@HnTr_VDH]

4:18 pause and read those Gtags. so painfully true

[@cuccibro]

[@Markusface]

"A grenade is the exact opposite of arresting someone". Nearly fell off my chair

[@GeneralMetrac]

Oh wow... Dead to rights.....the first Rated M game I ever played in my life back on the PS2....brings back memories,

[@ImperfectWeapons]

"A grenade is the exact opposite of arresting someone." -Yahtzee Crowshaw

[@cyborgcatrj6794]

I thought he'd mention how the game overstates its inspiration from watch dogs. One of the basic weapons is a collapsible baton, the arrest takedown animations take ages, and the game has an achievement for tagging people in single player called "Watchn' Dawgs" or something.

[@cyborgcatrj6794]

To be fair, I did like the game for its change from the America vs everything style of modern shooters. I always found it funny when I arrested someone and held the melee button too long and hacked them in two with the collapsible baton that makes the same sound as a katana.

[@snakelord2]

"Skirmish house easy line" 😂😂😂😂

[@gulpirak]

6 years later I'm surprised how okay he was with the plot. Yes, he outlined its predictability but he wasn't harsh on it beyond that.

[@techiecreations]

Still playing BF3 to this day. By now that game is so polished.

[@adrianrobles9]

I have not touched the single player campaign but the multi-player is fun! My favorite battlefield so far

[@NamelessPlayerOfficial]

This is the most positive review from Yahtzee on a Battlefield game right beside BFBC2.

[@Warweazel]

I already wanted this game, hearing that you can counter-arrest police makes me want it even more.

[@-INK-]

"STOP! YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!" "No, you." "oh... fine then..."

[@darthelmet1]

Always a good laugh, but this episode was even funnier than usual. Keep up the good work!

[@inzane0ne]

Alright, the way you described it made it sound kinda fun. I become a fugitive who can still arrest police? That's hilarious! Sign me up!

[@ZEROINXS79]

Have you heard - Matts in the army reserve.

[@tomgreen6171]

You did multilayer wow that's a change

[@Zerklass]

Guys, the Escapist channel is now "The Zero Punctuation Channel"

[@TheQrstOne]

Yahtzee, are you going to review Splinter Cell Blacklist?

[@maddtaggz]

pretty accurate description

[@obisidianusyuh9721]

Ill never forget all the unlimited amount of handcuffs that help me make all those arrests.

[@GOAT-rl2uq]

Actually, weightlifters and sprinters rely largely on the same physical capacity: power. Granted, there are obvious sport specific differences, and weightlifting also has an absolute strength component, but the two really aren't all that far from each other in terms of what it requires of the body. Anyways, I enjoyed the video.

[@antonflax814]

GOAT Wait... what are you talking about? i know what you are saying about muscle thing but Why?

[@AfferbeckBeats]

I was going to comment this myself. I can see the metaphor he was trying to make, but yeah weightlifters and sprinters are fairly similar in what they do. Successful weightlifters and sprinters are both are genetically explosive people who train to increase their explosive power. Most good weightlifters though are shorter with shorter limbs and longer torsos, more of an asian body type, and most sprinters are longer limbed, more of an african body type.

[@GOAT-rl2uq]

Anton flax I was being deliberately pedantic. Just fucking around, but in an informative way.

[@antonflax814]

GOAT I have no clue what you are talking about now

[@GenericInternetter]

GOAT stfu you goatdont know why i said that

[@darkartsdabbler2407]

This review actually got me interested in this game.

[@wp6192]

There's a lot of wolfs on the multiplier maps

[@w00ds98]

Hey yatzeeh short correction for 3:00 You aint arresting them youre threatening them, he doesnt show a badge he just points his Finger (and Gun) at them, why should they care if hes a cop or not if he holds a gun to your Head? Well the rest was surprisingly fair and a good mix between weak and strong sides of the game, especially for a (now sadly) yearly release game. But after this you continue your satirical bashing of games, no matter how good they are :P thats what makes zero punctuation so great, funny and outstanding, but still its good you were quite fair with this game cause after all the negative feedback, the game can need some good publicity by a person that people actually still can trust :D Great job on the vid and see ya next week (hopefully with mortal kombat X)

[@cfortson1354]

WOOP WOOP. DATS THE SOUND OF DA POLICE.

[@newtclovers]

Even though I enjoy Hardline, I agree on everything Yatzhee says, espicially about the multiplayer.

[@level58deathknight18]

I like how Escapist still puts (Zero Punctuation) in the title of these videos as if the Escapist KZbin channel actually posts other content.

[@Hijynx87]

Battlefield:love set for 2017, love is a battlefield.

[@captaingeneric2898]

I really like Hardline, The MP is great fun I only wish they would add more weapons and gadgets to play with. Haven't yet got round to trying the single player, I will and no doubt you'll be spot on as normal Yatzhee

[@pjshaw4797]

does anyone have any idea AT ALL what makes the animations so cute/funny in this show?

[@KillerOrca]

The strangest thinga bout this is that Yahtzee admitted to PLAYING MULITPLAYER. And for a FPS game non the less! Poor bastard...

[@bobsternolan]

If they made more of a feature of the crime scene investigation aspect, and toned down the larger weapons the campaign could have been really good.

[@jimbojv75]

Amusing and informative as ever.

[@whywasmyrealnamehere]

I disagree on the combat/stealth gameplay notion. I believe it's important to always have both available, not as either you can choose to do one or the other, but rather you can switch between them. MGS5 does this pretty well now. What happens when you fuck up being stealthy? Go loud. What happens when you get too much heat on you? Dissapear. They're both integral to good action gameplay.

[@DeMomcalypseLive]

Dominic Kane I don't think he was complaining about the core gameplay of it. He was just complaining that it's in every game now, so the idea of stealth/action doesn't feel new or that exciting. Kind of like cover based shooting in most 3rd person games. It's not a bad system, its just that every game does it, so its not all that exciting or new

[@l-boi8173]

I'm so happy someone else agrees with me regarding Nick (the protagonist) being a prisoner, but still able to arrest people like he's still a cop after 3 YEARS OF BEING IN JAIL.
