You punch a boulder into a volcano one time and they never let you hear the end of it!

[@MrSolomonGaming]

Not as bad as one video where they play Turkish Star Wars alongside it.

[@timebomb4562]

hey the jill sandwich thing was 1996 and they're still trying to live that down

[@herschalshep]

When Yahtzee was describing the changes in the crafting system, I was thinking in order: Craft anywhere? Ok, I like that. It lets you avoid having too many things in your inventory and lets you just experiment all over. Craft with "similar" items? I could see that working. I mean what makes tying a bowie knife to a broom that different from a machete? Get them from a locker just by looking at them. -And you went one too far. Can't make the crafted items with the blueprint: And what's the fucking point now?

[@intergalactichumanempire9759]

Herschal Shep If they just fixed the crafting system, it'd be worth a purchase

[@AGrayPhantom]

I like the first 3, but the not being able to experiment takes some of the fun out.

[@femoman]

Funny thing is, the trailer and the cover art make this look like some dark and gritty realistic zombie game, but even this one is wacky and insane. The weapon combos are still ridiculous, like creating a weapon turret out of machine guns and a teddy bear, or making boxing gloves somehow better by strapping rubber duckies onto the fists, and you can still find ridiculous outfits including the classic ServBot headpiece, and the bosses are still pretty insane. For crying out loud, one boss is a fat woman on a mobility scooter who attacks by barfing at you!

[@chrisriley2547]

@To be forgotten and an Asian man with some sort of pole scythe thing (I legitimately forget what it's called) Then again the whole 7 deadly sins as psychos thing was a cool concept

[@guillermolorenzo3653]

We should replace "jumping the shark" for "punching the boulder" from now on.

[@lowleypeasentmr.l8836]

You have cracked literature.

[@jtroopa]

"Take them apart like abstract art." That is one of the best similes I've ever heard. I love it.

[@blackkakari]

"Step 2: boulder punching!" Poor Capcom. They'll never live that down.

[@mayborneflower]

Is that referring to Metal Man EXE in MegaMan Battle Network 4: Blue Moon, where Lan and Hub need to seek out a martial arts master to learn how to punch out giant rocks and then challenge Metal Man to THREE consecutive boulder punching contests before actually fighting him in an actual boss fight?

[@mayborneflower]

Never mind. I looked it up. Sad.

[@MrDizzySpinda]

mayborneflower Megaman battle Network... nostalgia button = PRESSED

[@fiktivmiki9530]

Resident Evil 5. Never forget

[@ThatFeelBr0]

Fiktív Miki would if I could.

[@peterdietrich8810]

Dead rising 3 is an exclusive... You know, until it was on steam.

[@Pfisiar22]

well, the very definition of "Xbox exclusive" is kind of hilarious on its own.

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

Now if only I can get it on Playstation store.

[@Abel-Alvarez]

The DLC for it ("Super ultra DR3 EX plus alpha.." whatever the fuck it's called) is 100% EXCLUSIVE to the xbox one, which sucks because that DLC alone is what convinced me to buy DR3 in the first place. 😤🤔

[@NeoSaturos123]

1:25 To be fair, the Resident Evil villains never wanted to use the zombies as a superweapon. The zobmies were an unintended side effect of the T-Virus and their emergence was the result of sabotage. They wanted to create a large variety of controlled monsters sold as "Bio Organic Weapons", with the Tyrants, especially the Nemeses, as the pinnacle, their superweapons. Edit: Dead Rising is quite the strumpet indeed. All 3 games are available on Steam now, none of them is exclusive.

[@GuyOnAChair]

They were exclusive for a bit. And actually DR1 only reached PC this year.

[@Centuries_of_Nope]

If Yahtzee were to murder my whole family, and then explain it to me in detail, his voice would still calm me down. Come on, I can't be the only one.

[@TheChaosTrigger]

How the hell do you remember your user name!?!

[@Centuries_of_Nope]

I have a guy to do it for me. He's expensive.

[@TheChaosTrigger]

Money well spent, wish I could hire someone to remember my username :(

[@momoyawn]

after the boulder punching part i spit out my Tea.

[@SparksHardcoreMusic]

1:27 - 1:35 ....Thats one fucking hell of a point. I mean, he always makes good points, but that stands out when it comes to people starting the zombie apocalypse purposely in games/movies.

[@stolisomancer]

It's not that good a point, since it indicates he didn't play through to the end. In DR3 in particular, the zombie outbreak isn't there as a weapon; it's meant as a handy excuse for the primary antagonist to institute martial law and seize power. Most crucially, it doesn't work; in all the endings where he pulls it off, he's promptly deposed.

[@mothman7531]

+stolisomancer I think he means it is a good point for zombie apocalypse villains overall, not just this game.

[@stolisomancer]

Then it would've made a lot more sense for him to wait and make that point about a game where it was actually happening, rather than dragging in a completely irrelevant criticism.

[@ImperialGuardsman74]

Oh my god the last joke killed me :P

[@ChemicleExplosion]

whenever i watch Zero Punctuation i imagine this at the start of the video: Wheel of gaming turn turn turn, witch fan-base should i burn...

[@acebats]

"Oh geez" Make up ya own rhymes :P

[@13whitehunter]

***** we got another zero punctuation person here or should i call a random talking person

[@100acatfishandwillbreakyou2]

13whitehunter Brother?

[@13whitehunter]

Mud Kip :o another unknown brother that is in the family :D well actually you are the same as the others XD

[@AppleBiscuits]

More like which game should I bitch about, and which should I fangasm over?... Don't worry, Zero... Everyone fangasms over Portal 2. Except me. I've never liked that game to be honest.

[@jessiemendez3609]

I strive to one day make a game that Yahtzee will love.

[@Torguish]

Portal 3

[@DarkEdge1231]

Torguish Actually that will be Half Life 3

[@laggsurfer]

They may be a game he will love but there wont be a game he cant criticise because if there was he couldnt critique it and his job as a critic would be invalidated so he wouldnt choose it in the first place!

[@TheMaestro116]

Best of luck with that

[@K4RN4GE911]

DarkEdge1231 Actually actually, that would be Fantasy World Dizzy.

[@stanley1698]

"Take them apart like abstract art"- Yahtzee 2015

[@xKingx16]

lol I remember in DR1, I had like 4 survivors with guns from a gun shop, got sucked into a boss fight with another photographer,I was tied up,weaponless ...Then my survivors proceeded to fill him with lead.thus ending the fight. maybe that's why they didn't want survivors helping you at boss fights. I don't remember anything like that in DR2 though.

[@overseer06]

I think what the reason they didn't allow survivors is because it doesn't fit in with the fight. By process of elimination, I assume that the boss fight he was referring to in the video was the fight against Albert (the doctor). I think all of the mandatory psychopath fights have to be done solo (the bike leader, the cop, the doctor, etc.) because I did see footage of Zhi and Jherri (two of the optional bosses) fights where survivors helped the player out.

[@xKingx16]

well that makes perfect sense

[@sontypohnenamen5161]

Imagine a crossover between this and the "the walking dead" games:The twd-Gang running from zombies when they see a maniac packed with weapons made of imagination, ducttape and death mows down the horde that follows them, and Clem and the others stand there in awe and wonder why they didn't do this all the time.I know, i know, the twd-games are about drama and story while dr3 is about bashing zombies for no other reason than fun, but just think about it...

[@Krishna_5180]

so I take it yahtzee hasn't got over the ridiculousness of the Chris REdfield Boulder Punching?

[@ClassicGamerReviews]

Yeah boulder punching!

[@ShadowX012]

It still amazes me how that idea got green lit...

[@K4RN4GE911]

ShadowX012 Did Chris Redfield think he was in Turkish Star Wars for a bit?

[@ClassicGamerReviews]

ShadowX012 Yeah but you know what, in the heat of the moment i didnt care about that. I think the fight against Wesker was absolutely amazing. And yes people yell at me but I think Resident Evil 5 was more interesting then 4 because of Wesker

[@JeedyJay]

It baffles me that people keep bringing up the boulder punching as though it were a bad thing. Some guys are just going to miss everything cool and die angry.

[@PanmasterAtArms]

I remember during that boss fight I THOUGHT, emphasis on THOUGHT, Wesker decided to piss off and let me think...I try to do the "Boulder Punching" part, and I get a cutscene of Chris flying off into space. Thanks, Wesker, as if you weren't powerful enough, but you get to teleport randomly?(not literally he seriously popped out of nowhere, though)

[@bliss2632]

I dream of the day when a game actually meets Yahtzee's huge, massive, colossal, seemingly infinite standards, because it will be a one hell of a game. I'm not trying to insult him, but it's become partly funny because of how he drop-kicks and then body-slams any game people find decent. I mainly watch him for his jokes.

[@Dairo512]

Christian Lundsgaard Silent Hill 2. Also both Portal games.

Alicorn Radio and saints row 2

[@chewbones7550]

Gordon Freeman the Lombax of Space and Hedgehogs and THE TRUE HIGH KING OF SKYRIM AND PANDAS Well he did say Infinity was too much up it's own ass. I think he means a game where he literally has NOTHING bad to say about the game.

[@STANNco]

Stanley Parable

[@JasonAHawkins]

Cant believe I found it just as it was posted.

[@megamonstudios]

wait why does yatzee need an elgato? he doesn't show any footage of the game

[@overseer06]

I was sort of expecting more comparisons between Dead Rising 3 and Dead Rising 2. I could have sworn that one of his complaints about 2 was that the time limit was a bit cruel (It's only in 3's Nightmare mode). He even said that experimentation with combo weapons were "fruitless" in Dead Rising 2, which implies that it was more of a waste of time for him. Not sure about his opinion on the save system, where you no longer have to save in bathrooms, toilets, or safe rooms unless you want to. Though, AI's pretty much the same since you could bring survivors in vehicles in 2 and it did take a little bit for them to figure out how to get in the bloody car. But the sheer size of the map sort of necessitates using vehicles to bring survivors to safehouses. Also, you didn't have to bring every survivor you save to a safehouse: sometimes they just piss off once you clear the zombies around them as they stand on a platform typically out of harm's way. And no doubt, accidentally picking up the wrong item has become more of an issue in this game than in previous ones because now you pick up items while on the run instead of stopping to pick it up so it's easier to miss the item you want while you're in a mad dash. Seriously though, am I the only person here who've played seen his Dead Rising 2 review and played the games?

[@fezman222]

Well, he referred to the difficulty decrease in Dead Rising 3, which can be attributed to both the lack of a timer and the fact that you can pick up any super weapon after you make it. While he may have said trying to make weapons with experimentation was fruitless in DR2, it isn't exactly a bad thing. The removal of the mechanic instead of improving it, such as making combinations more obvious, or making more combinations altogether, is a bit disappointing. The fact that the combinations are much more lenient, as you can do it whenever you want instead of only at workbenches, or that you can use items in the same category to make weapons once you get the upgrade would've made the experimental weapon system superior. I don't really get the comment on the save system. You can save whenever, cool. Not really a huge improvement, just a little convenient. The AI was bad in DR2, and its bad in DR3. It should have been improved, especially when it involves vehicles, especially since, as you said, vehicles have become more important due to the size of the maps. Survivors were more annoying then their worth, and eventually he felt that saving survivors, especially those that needed to get to the safehouse, was boring and just gave up on them. Sure, a lot of his complaints in DR2 are present in DR3, and that some of his comments comparing the two seem to favor DR2, but all the same problems persist, without much innovation. DR3 may be bigger and badder, but it lost a lot of its charm for a better coat of paint.

[@overseer06]

fezman222 Except he never once mentioned the timer: he seemed to attribute the easier difficulty to the weapon lockers and how the two combinable objects are right next to where the blueprints are located. Kind of like how you could always make a combo weapon at a maintenance room because there was always something either in the room or right next to it in 2. I figured that the crafting skill upgrades would have been right down his alley since he complained how in 2 that combo weapons had to be made using a specific knife and asked why he couldn't combine it with other knives. In 3, you can if you choose to upgrade that when you level up. He actually said that the AI in 2 was a lot better, but didn't feel like bothering because he came across survivors that wouldn't follow you unless you paid them. Sounds like he never even did the one where they wouldn't follow you unless you one Texas Hold-em. And like I said, a lot of the survivors I came across didn't need any escort at all: half the time, you clear out zombies around them, they give thanks, you earn PP points, and they bugger off. And I have no idea what you mean by "charm": if you're referring to running around in women's clothing or ridiculous costumes while beating zombies to death with devastating (the Elemental staff using a freaking traffic light) or lowbrow (the massager cannon makes a return), you still can. Like most people, the visuals made me think that this would be super serious. Except things like full body shark suits and a g-string really dampens the dramatic cutscenes.

[@damaLwa]

overseer06 Yahtzee tends to criticize games for whats bad in them most of a video, and he sounds harsh because he brushes over the good things. Sometimes he doesn't even give any attention to the things a game does right because why should he give praise for something that is to be expected in a game? That's what makes him a good critic because, unlike other critics who work at IGN and such, he doesn't gush about games in a series that's popular. I can't tell how many times I read a review of CoD games and the like and saw them saying it was amazing. They never pointed out the flaws, and if they did, it was glossed over by how great things are.

[@overseer06]

damaLwa I don't know. In his Far Cry 3 review, he drew some comparisons between that game and its prequel.

[@damaLwa]

overseer06 I actually just watched that lol but I think that's because some of the issues he had with the first one were resolved in the 2nd so he had to point it out. Whereas the issues he had in DR2 and 3 were just flipped. Yes the time limit is gone, but now it's just craft and pick. The thing about DR2 and 3 was that if you flipped their systems a bit (time limit, but easy to get weapons and no time limit, but an experimental style of customization) they would be perfect. When every second counts, it's a hassle to be asked to play around with combos. When you have all the time in the world, it's fun to play with combos. I don't think (not having played DR3 but from what I've heard) they really changed anything for the better from DR2 to 3 besides the graphics so he trashed it more so

"Step-Two: boulder punching" I lost my shit

[@TherrusD]

So basicly the game is what people predicted when first seen? Don't really care much...not an Xbone owner now a PS4 owner as of yet...now where did I put my 3ds? =D

[@ryanoconnell7977]

Soma Cruz Haaaah!... I'm vaguely aware that you had your own game, but the only time anyone gave a shit was when you were in the xbl arcade game... You're hilariously irrelevant.(But admittedly pretty badass in Harmony of Despair)

[@TheGamingGrizzly]

You guys give me a reason to love myself

[@SniperZeeGaming]

I always watch Zero Punctuation first muted, then I watch again unmuted. Watching these on mute is amazing.

[@styk0n]

every time I hear people talk shit about the Xbone, I feel a little bit sad, because as a kid I was a huge fan of the Xbox and then the Xbox 360 for the last six odd years. But then I realise that I don't actually like the Xbone, and that given the opportunity (and granted if it was free, I wouldn't pay money for it) I would choose the PS4 over the Xbone anyway.

[@Jaceblue04]

"Step 2: BOULDER PUNCHING!"

[@over9000ftwbaby]

To this day, I laugh my ass off when playing the last chapter of RE5. Sheva is hanging from a cliff while Uroboros Wesker is slowly walking towards her to push her off. How does Chris save the day? By beating the living shit out of a boulder so Sheva can use it as a platform to reach Chris. Original? Yes. Smart? No.

[@EXRazeBurn]

Edward Boone Once again the day is saved! Thanks to Chris "Fuck Boulders!" Redfield. =3

[@damaLwa]

Edward Boone I think Chris thought he was in Turkish Star Wars.

u really need to get a life if u wait for dlc on xbone and sayng get a life on yout tube comment section really means something

Good thing chis punched a bolder, Barry was getting tired of everyone fixating on the Jill sandwich 🥪

[@MrPiccoloku]

"a motorbike steamroller" I would have gone with a motorbike lawnmower. The results are much more...aesthetically pleasing.

[@69johndz]

Well, this game was the only reason I was even curious about the Xbox One. Now, I have no reason to get an Xbone. I wish they would have given DR3 more time before releasing it. What is it with reviewers and games these days? More and more often, I hear, "well, the game is basically glitchy, suffers from a lot of problems, and sucks...but if you are willing to overlook those little problems, the game can be quite fun." I am not going to pay $60 for a game that can be fun, but only if you are willing to overlook all the crap problems with it. And what is with game developers making the games so freakin' easy? Most games I play these days are so easy, they are downright repetitive and boring. I will get DR3 someday. I will just wait 'till it drops way down in price.

[@CoreviZecter]

every game has problems. Shadow of the Colossus is what i consider to be the best game ever and it's still glitchy as hell and has a variety of issues.

[@69johndz]

I own Shadow of the Colossus and I still haven't had the chance to play it yet. I have heard really good things about it.

[@crazyj10agains]

69johndz One of the biggest complaints about it is it's boring, but I personally got sucked into the atmosphere of the game and didn't feel it. Spending half an hour just wandering around to the next boss with almost nothing to do was never so enjoyable.

[@CoreviZecter]

crazyj10agains i hate to sound like an elitist but anyone who thinks its boring is an idiot

[@crazyj10agains]

CorruptedEvil I can see where they're coming from. Sure, fighting all the Colossi is fun, but getting to them can be long and monotonous. It's not what I feel, but I can see why people think that.

[@linsquip]

actually you can get rid of any party member who isn't part of a current mission by fleeing from them in any vehicle.

[@PupdudePwns]

>Making Chris punch a boulder I remember when it was "Making Cindy run into landmines for no fucking reason" Rest in peace, Cindy "Fuck Landmines" Lennox.

Just finished this one on Nightmare Mode for the extra challenge. But since your level and stats carry over I was pretty much death incarnate so I breezed through it in less than a day's time.

[@MrPiccoloku]

Man, am I glad I bought a gaming PC instead. I'll just be here, playing the good version of Minecraft, and laughing at YOUR online shooters in the voice chat of Blacklight: Retribution.

[@MrPiccoloku]

For me, the question isn't "could the human race survive the zombie apocalypse?" but "SHOULD the human race survive the zombie apocalypse?" THE ANSWER IS PLEASE KILL US ALL ZOMBIES!!! The explanation is KZbin comments.

[@VanguardFencer]

Boulder punching? Oh I see what you did there Resident Evil 5 - Chris Redfield vs. Boulder

[@namelessdork2256]

I will say, the stripper boss was an interesting lad, though his death seems more like a pissout. But I guess this game is like the main character of the game. More grounded, nuanced, and I think he is a mechanic.

[@ryanhasagirl11]

You just can't let Chris punching a boulder go LOL

[@marrieddyke]

[@SJLuis]

Actually you pronounced Ramos right the first time, as it's Ra (like the Egyptian Sun God) Mos (like the word most with out the "t')

[@dr.bright6272]

The akward moment when you find a zombie who's only interested in beating the shit out of other zombies and vehicles that you're not even near. I found him and loved him till he blew himself up with a car *edit* he refused to leave it be even after it was on fire. He ignored me till the very end

[@wilftarkin1702]

I wish Yahtzee would do The Stanley Parable and/or Europa Universalis IV.

[@hulkluvstospooge]

That Doritos reference was pretty good lol

[@OrangeRangerVideos]

Weird random thing to observe as I watch through this playlist for the 80 ballionith time: At the start of the video, Yahtzee tells the observant person to "have a chip" and holds up a bag of Doritos. Being British, wouldn't Yahtzee call those crisps? Chips are what we in the States refer to as french fries.

[@sontypohnenamen5161]

Isn't he from 'straya? I'm not sure about it, but a country that calls flip flops "thongs" and McDonalds "Maccas" shouldn't surprise you with words you'd not have anticipated.

[@OrangeRangerVideos]

+SonTyp OhneNamen He lives in Australia, but is from Britain. Maybe he's picked up some different lingo.

[@sontypohnenamen5161]

***** Then i guess he abandoned the pride in his language and adopted its retarded cousin, American english, probably because more people speak it.

[@OrangeRangerVideos]

SonTyp OhneNamen Or maybe he's adopted some of the language the majority of his viewers speak. Probably happened naturally. Or he was just choosing the term so there wouldn't be confusion.

[@aaron.davies4127]

+OrangeRangerVideos the viewers that he never listens to? what?

[@geekguylt]

As for this game being too easy, all I can say is, "It's a sandbox, what did you expect?"

[@CrashKritz]

Assassins Creed is a sandbox and yet it had decent difficulty levels

[@mclovinakapascal]

Sandbox = easy? No, sandboxes are supposed to be lively interesting places to explore.

[@JoshuaBegin]

[@balmsold]

only if you're full of combo weapons, this game in nightmare mode and not using combo weapons that much and also starting from the low levels gets pretty harsh.

[@Ange1ofD4rkness]

balmsold I didn't feel that way. Only one Psychopath even proved annoyance, and that was the samurai guy. I remember that female cop was a walk in the park. I mean Dead Rising 1 psychopaths were easy, but that's because I unlocked the Megaman Blaster right away which like 1 or 2 shot them all

[@balmsold]

yeah ,they didn't meant too much of a threat once you knew what you were doing, they could have buffed them so it took less hits to kill you or give them a rubberbanding AI. about DR1 , well...you have the katana sword and the mini chainsaws pretty early on, also the manekins do alot of damage on certain psychos, like 2-3 hits or some shit

James IV, For me it was the claws.

[@SteveJonesGamingGWO]

*Peaks around concern* You may want to update that

[@DarkOsprey28]

Hahaha thank you again Mr Croshaw! This is why I stick with PC. Even though the PC doesn't really have exclusives, at least it generally comes out with good games more often than consoles.

[@mharizsaifuddin7059]

I didn't know that Dead Rising was on the PS3.. I thought it's only on the 360 & XOne and that one? Wii version too

[@FoifurYT]

What? Yahtzee clearly said that DR 1 was and exclusive, DR 2 wasn't, and DR 3 is exclusive again. It's at 0:46.

[@mharizsaifuddin7059]

I know...didn't know that DR 2 is not exclusive.

[@grimreminder5038]

When this game came out, I only had two thoughts: 1) Capcom finally understands that you can duct tape shit while standing 2) I hope you can use a pickup truck... (Fucking can't)

[@derekfurst6233]

I like videos like these where He actually gives some legitimate criticisms. Like, its easy to make jokes about the games, but its more important to focus on how individual elements effect the overall game=play. Needing blueprints takes away incentive to experiment. That's a valid reason not to buy the game. I don't mind if you're funny Yahtzee, but try to keep more useful criticisms like this one. I take to hearth what you say about games and it effects whether i buy them or not (:

[@Tsuki_Itsubi]

Every single freaking time I see that Dead Rising 3 cover, I always think it's Daryl from the Walking Dead =/

[@MatthewSanthos]

BOULDER PUNCHING!!

[@donhusguh2457]

720p at less than 20 frames per second NEXT GEN IS HERE LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chillmanice]

Damn you Yahtzee makes me laugh every time

[@cannibalcheese]

Haha been waiting for this review and although I thoroughly agree with the points he puts across. The game is still awesomely good fun. He did get it wrong about the locker tho. You can only take for instance 1 super combo weapon and say 2 combo weapons before you have to let it recharge. Just play it on nightmare setting and most of his arguments become irrelevant. Still had me chuckling tho I love this guys reviews :)

[@juangarcia2007]

LOL @ 2:21-2:39

[@sazupa]

Are you going to review Painkiller: Hell & Damnation

[@Shadowslash1]

Hey that's not true! Captain Blue was a hero that Viewtiful Joe looked up to and...he turned evil... Well, Joe's dad...turned evil Well there's Mega Man where...Wily decided to turn evil and oppose Dr.Light But there's Mega Man X where it was revealed in Day of Sigma that Sigma was a Maverick Hunter...that decided to turn evil. Ok I give up QQ

[@Nightmare096]

... The original Dead rising wasn't exclusive to XBOX360. I only have it for wii. I don't like the XBOX360.

[@foxmccould1]

it was exclusive, the Wii version you would not even call it the same as the xbox, convict boss battle wasn't a quick time event, there were more zombies on the screen than dead rising, and stuff ran smoother than that...Sure the plot was the same, but not the gameplay.

[@liamf2300]

So dead rising 1 that’s my favourite

[@JediArgento]

What happened with the top 5 games of 2013?

[@VertSecretStash]

combo vehicles are new??? when did the slycicle become irrelevant and useless??? answer... NEVER

[@slameradon165]

because its technically not a combo vehicle. Its just a vehicle with chainsaws. A Combo Vehicle is Two vehicles combined into one, like the Rollerhawg = Motocycle + Steamroller.

[@TheShotgunfun101]

I'm surprised he didn't mention the pathetic excuse for a "plot twist" at the very end after the (2nd) credits and the sloppy abrupt introduction of Annie's dad

[@Goth979797]

Do you work for Pak'n'Save?

[@clashmanthethird]

dead rising was on the Wii though
