Disco Elysium got a FREE update, where now pretty much all dialogue is voice acted! If you were scared of the reading, that is no longer an excuse. Buy this game right now! We should support developers making free content updates, especially if it is literal hours of voice over.

I mean 90% of them is the same dialogue with a slightly different adjectives to describe the big burly men and the Muslims they shoot at. It’s fun if you sync up the audio of 2 or more of them from the theme music you get this cool echo effect and the differences when recorded and played backwards tell you to buy various brands of crisps.

Call of Duty remade (again), and everyone was surprised. Actually they added new things. Microtransactions.

[@JABRIEL251]

That's not new though.

[@brainflash1]

A little naive, I feel!

[@sid6645]

Dude that ending joke was a collision of 2 worlds... Damn.

[@RatchetSly]

I'm really, really interested in Disco Elysium. It's sitting pretty atop my to-buy list come next pay.

[@tobiasbellman]

I finally bought it and it surpassed my expectations.

[@NathanCassidy721]

It's a pretty good game from what I've heard and it would not surprise me if it became one of the surprise smash hits on the level of Undertale and Nier: Automata.

[@bestpseudonym1693]

I think I can confidently say that at the very least Disco Elysium is a game about both Disco and Elysium.

[@90maducc]

The moment Yahtz mentioned “spunkgargleweewee” I knew where this was going.

[@Inkal321]

Well, I never thought I'd watch a call of duty review and head straight for gog to buy the reviewed game 😮

[@CarianG780]

*flashbacks to that one legend of zelda "review" he did*

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

More like "smell-da" right?

[@fearingalma1550]

Man this whole mess with the developers is equal parts sad and scary. If you have even the slightest interest in this game, pick it up fast before the inevitable legal clusterfuck consumes it. Players: “What killed you?” Za/Um: “Capitalism.”

[@ronaldzhemelon3882]

came here asking myself "why tf is yatz torturing himself with this review?", now I'm here wondering how many skills checks do I need so my article is approved by my teacher today ._.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Invest in rhetoric for next semester.

[@DunkeysLongLostSon]

Thank you for bringing Disco Elysium to my attention, Yahtz. I vaguely remembered you talking about how well written it was and about a week ago I started binging a playthrough on it, trying to get past all of those white and red checks and crossing off everything on my task list. It was an amazing game and an even amazing-er experience! Specially when I found the Insulindian Phasmid. That shit made my jaw drop.

[@michaelandrews117]

Ah, finally, a Disco Elysium review. It's easily my Game of the Year.

[@SteveVonSteve]

Disco Elysium is the most thoughtful and introspective game I've ever played, would recommend a lot

[@peculiarnewbie]

I was actually waiting for disco elysium review lol

[@Twin2kaay7]

What a funny coincidence. I've started playing Planescape Torment again recently and was thinking what I'll do with my life once I inevitably come to the end of that wonderful game. Thx yahtz'. I love how you also review games that I would never be aware of existed.

[@uristboatmurdered6051]

The new Call of Duty has some pretty good reload animations. That's about all that comes to mind, really.

[@dantrick7216]

I legitimately quite enjoyed the mission where you raid the house in London. Only maybe 10 enemies yet the tension was there.

[@TheOriginalEdFry]

@@dantrick7216 no shit, could you imagine them trying to do something horror related? They nailed TENSION that's like Half the Battle!

[@ryan1840]

The multiplayer is better than the last few installments. That's about it for me

[@micheljavert5923]

The funny thing about this is that I have genuinely heard reviewers complain about CoD's samey-ness over the years, but Yahtz points out the obvious: The people buying these games don't care about that. It's like the people who buy Madden every year.

[@richardtaillon1616]

Yahtzee coming off like my SO when they're stressed out. Yahtzee: "I don't care about COD!" Me: "I didn't...You brought it up, love." Yahtzee: "I don't care! Everybody's on me about COD!" Me: Hugs "Did you want a tea and cuddle up to some Disco Elysium?"

[@ARandomGuy24]

I mean people do actually bug him to destroy the latest COD, Sonic, Assassin's creed, etc.

[@AmazinglyAwkward]

2:13 that's a serious mood. Why do I do anything seemingly with no point? "Eh, beats workin'"

[@RdTrler]

Yahtzee: "Why the hell are you watching this." Me: "Why are you reviewing an old game... wait this isn't the first in the series."

[@sentrysapper45]

2:54 Ah yes, WcDonald's, home of the Big Wac.

[@ArcturusOTE]

ooh you just need an 'n'

[@adamthompson4072]

I came to watch MW get eviscerated, not for the review of an indie game. Which I am now compelled to buy because holy shit that sounds interesting

[@MF-fd2ug]

you know i thought the "skillcheck to get your tie down form the ceiling fan" was a fascetious skillcheck. imagine my delight when i found out that it was a real description of a real thing in this game.

[@TheAstonvilla64]

And now I just got stealth reviewed and my neck snapped in a QTE 😭 dammnn you Yahtzee!!!! 😂

[@KyleLockhart]

"Why are you here? Why are any of us here?" Exactly for this reason, the out of left field stealth indie review. 10/10 woul watch secret reviews again!

[@Nathanael_Forlorn]

This was one of my favourite ZPs and out of a completely different reasons why i usually like these. Well played.

[@luuketaylor]

Jesus, the deep cut on Inland Empire cracked me up

[@jacobwarkentin2156]

2:07 I don’t watch you for the reviews, I watch you to take the piss out of games when I have nothing at all to play

[@pacificblue5461]

This reminds me of a famous quote from JFK: "Hey Bobby, if you're going to order us a pizza, hold the mushrooms yeah? Disgusting"

[@Disasterclese]

2:46 The head twist just makes this so much more poignant. I laughed so hard I had to pause the video. Just awesome.

[@nedsanders3246]

INLAND EMPIRE: Keep watching. There's more to this review than meets the eye.

[@TypicalF001]

I like how he switches to an “actually” good game halfway through the review. Most of the stuff he said about COD is actually true. It’s old, it been old for years, how stupid can we be to buy the same game more than ten years in a row now?

[@Godzeller3143]

An Nguyen ask the people who always buy the latest iteration of sport games

[@Proviso3]

2k20: 2k19 with 1 more polygon edition

[@MrGamelover23]

I always wonder how many people like you if I actually played any recent call of duty games, I've never played a call of duty game but I imagine that the reason why people buy the new ones because they like the old ones and just want more of it. Is that really so weird to people?

[@shinewherethouwillandthouh7455]

It's a shame really. I love reading. But my job is mainly reading, and that means trying to put reading in my free time has been causing my brain to start sparking and making concerning noises.

[@Grenkappa459]

All the dialogue is entirely voiced now. They gave it a free update and the subtitle “the Final Cut” and apparently they added some other features but the biggest feature they are it was voicing all the dialogue in the game. I’ve always been curious about this game but until I found out that it was now voiced I hadn’t considered buying it

[@shinewherethouwillandthouh7455]

@@Grenkappa459 Oh fuck that's awesome. Thanks for telling me that reignited my enthusiasm
