KILLZONE: SHADOW FALL (Zero Punctuation)

[@theonetruemoe5744]

OK Viewers, let's put it to a vote, how many of you out there would love to play a video game where the plot is about an all out war that started over an argument over who finished off the milk in the fridge?

[@matthewchinmingwei6721]

That would be, imo, the perfect video game. Now just add in random food item wars and monsters from your dreams and we are bff's

[@BoisegangGaming]

For those that haven't figured it out yet, Killzones 1-3 is pretty much WWII in SPACE while the events previous to it are WWI in SPACE and Shadow Fall is the Cold War. In SPACE. Granted, it's a pretty original concept compared to most of our choices of video games.

[@paragonmiragen7]

Pretty much it. Good job sir. +100 points from the internet.

ijxijx It's World War 2. In space!

[@ijxijx]

doesnt make it that original :P

[@BoisegangGaming]

ijxijx It's more original than "generic modern military shooter", and I haven't seen another 19th-century-conflicts-recycled-in-space game, so, by definition, it's an original and unique concept.

You have Critic confused with Troll.

[@Ch1Frequency]

har har har, he said a game you liked is shitty at some point, so automatically he's a troll.

[@iKhanKing]

Ch1Frequency No, I've never played this game in my life. But I'm under the impression people like Yahtzee for his crazy exaggerations, analogies, and antics. I don't really know a better word to describe that.

[@HaterFisternator]

Ch1Frequency Its undeniable that most of his videos are filled with much more antics and rambling than actual review (which is completely fine, I find him funny, but anyone that hopes to get any in depth information about a game they want to buy should look to other outlets). I don't think trolling might be the right word but regardless I'm surprised anyone would deny the sentiment.

[@angelived]

iKhanKing the main reason I watch Yahtzee is because he's a very good reviewer. all of those 'ramblings' are there for a reason if you listen. he's insightful and entertaining and (except with JRPG's which I love) tends to be right on the money

[@Madarch-i3b]

Yahtzee seeing Killzone's weakest link as a somewhat delightful game (butitdoesn'tjustifyforcingustobuyclunkynewconsolewithnobackwardscompatability) is more than a poor Killzone fan could hope for in the terms of critique.

+Whoami691 I don't know, man. It's a pain, that's for sure. I hate all this exclusivity going around... If developers want more people to enjoy their games, making it available for every current-gen medium is a great way for players to be able to enjoy it, even if they don't own the console said game(s) is/are made for them! I don't want to buy a new console just for one game. Made that mistake with the 3DS, only to realize how dull and soulless Sticker Star was. I adored AC6, too. In terms of gameplay, I think it's the best yet.

[@gabrielfortunato1004]

Man you need to play ACZero before saying any AC game is the best one. All of them have a special kind of magic. Except for Assault Horizon, let's just not talk about Assault Horizon.

[@jamesreid9284]

+Gabriel Fortunato Well said. Zero was amazing. I've never seen so many hostile aces in one game before, and it introduced the Assault Records. Man, I love those. I wish all the games had them!

[@Gboy86ify]

I sometimes wonder if the team that does Killzone saw Yahtzee's videos and made Shadow Fall to show that they realized that their plot was insanely one-sided.

[@scoutobrien3406]

There was actually kind of a theme about that running throughout that didn't get explored much in the first game and was obfuscated in the second game (both before Yahtzee's earlier review) but putting the backstory pieces together it kind of felt like it was intentionally clouded by the perspective of being a soldier on *your* side. It could of course possibly have been bureaucratic decisions that left the Helghan story barely examined but if that's the case the writers were rebelling in small ways with ambient dialogue, lore, and directing decisions in the openings and endings. To me it felt real and subtle as a picture of jingoism turning a dark grey picture into black and white with unquestionably monstrous actions by the Helghan military and their fascist state being very clearly awful but lacking context because the ISA soldier lacks that context. Whereas this game felt like being pulled by the nose to see the same picture and having the message shouted at me in a slightly insulting shift of trust in the audience.

[@Enzar17]

Kuno Sandgreen The problem is that making a game like that now would require an original thought to fly through Guerrilla's studio on a cloud of golden sunshine. Given that Shadow Fall is a horrifying, distilled mess of everything shitty about the cancer-ridden FPS genre of today, that'll never happen again.

Exactly the problem I have with Killzone series's storyline, the Helghast have been deported to a planet with harsh climates and deadly wildlife then bullied economically by the Vektans.... but they're the bad guys for some sort of reason (because Nazi hats). The story got even more ridiculous in this installment, why didn't the Vektans disarmed the Helghast army before giving them half the planet? How did so many Helghans survived that new uber weapon from the last game?

[@Carbide195]

Oh and Vekta belonged to the Helghast in the first place; it's where all the Higs actually lived. Helghan was just the radioactive ball of ore they were mining to pay for their freedom with. Then of course the ISA decided that the Higs weren't paying enough taxes ( _despite said Higs having bought their independence, thus allowing them to stop paying taxes_ ) and invaded Vekta, forcing the native Hig population to move to the lung cancer planet next door.

[@oljo0527]

[sarcasm] Weird. I've heard loads of things about how the ISA are basically USA. I can't see any of that in this here game [/sarcasm]

[@Carbide195]

ilikebiskits I'm not comparing them to the USA? I mean, I've pointed out that the military is called the ISA and the government is called the UCA, but that's as close as I go.

[@oljo0527]

Not a bear Where did I say you compared them to the USA?

[@Mahbu]

That's actually incorrect. They weren't specifically colonists so much as a mega corporation that got a permit to exploit resources. As part of an agreement, they are required to send resources back because the Sol system has been, for all intents and purposes, mined dry. The Helghen company decided it didn't want to anymore and launched a surprise attack against the local ISA igniting the first Extrasolar war. They failed to destroy the ISA, however, who called up the UCA who in turn smashed the Helghen fleets and bombarded and blockaded the Helghen forces. I never understood this bizarre fascination to try and make the Helghen look like poor and misunderstood children. They were brutal then. They were brutal now. They will always be brutal. They're supposed to be a Nazi Expy. They routinely have gunned down or executed dissidents in cutscenes and intros and plan all kinds of evil activities. For God's sake, let them stay evil.

[@Carbide195]

Well, at it's most basic, the timeline is somewhat similar to the story of Germany after WWI. Superpower gets defeated in war, population is humiliated, government and people are rendered poor and powerless due to heavy economic losses caused by allied forces confiscating assets and limiting industrial development. A charismatic dictator brings the population together with the promise of regaining lost power and dignity, population becomes radicalised, state becomes heavily militarised, war happens. But if you look at the timeline (killzone.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline) you can see that, once you get into the details of it, it is very different from the actual reality of WWI. You say that the Helghast have always been evil; they haven't. Helghan corp. (Hc.) won the bid to settle the alpha centauri star system, built up large colonies (so yes, colonists) on Helghan and Vekta, all whilst having to pay taxes to the UCN, partly to fund ISA bases occupying the system. (Somewhere in here Hc. becomes the governing body of Helghan and Vekta; the Helghan administration. It performs the role of a local, devolved government, under the UCN, for the colonies). The colonies got big enough that they needed their own customs force, so the Helghan militia was created to help with customs, policing and so on in the star system. This frightened the ISA because they no longer had a monopoly on military power in the system. The Ha. grew rich enough to buy the star system outright so that they wouldn't have to pay taxes, could build as many ships for their fleet as they wanted, and could charge tariffs on shipping, but they agreed to give money to the UCN to help with the upkeep of the ISA, and let the ISA keep their bases in the star system. Ha. and the colonies got really rich from tariffs and free trade, the colonies expanded and the UCN get jealous. (During this time, the UCN also really clamped down hard on the other colonies it still had control of, taking as much money as it could from tariffs and taxes to build a large invasion fleet). The UCN decides to rescind the main benefits of the AC star system purchase from the Ha., but obviously without paying the Ha. their money back. The Ha. enters negotiations with the UCN, with the wealthy population of Vekta and the owners of companies on Vekta and Helghan urging the Ha. not to back down and lose its freedom. The negotiations end with the UCN throwing a shit-fit, flat-out demanding that the Ha. comply with its demands. The Ha. secedes from the UCN declaring the AC star system independent, the UCN stops all ships from travelling to the AC system, realises that this is hurting themselves more than the Ha. and finally the UCN sends in an invasion force. The Ha. attempts to convince the ISA forces already stationed in the system to help defend the colonies, this fails and the poorly equipped Helghan militia (little more than police and customs) attempts to seize the ISA bases. The ISA forces escape to conduct guerilla warfare on Ha. vessels. The ISA invasion fleet arrives, decimates the Helghan fleet, decimates ground forces on Vekta, arrests Ha. officials and the UCN takes complete control of the planet. The UCN starts a colony to control Vekta, shipping in loyal colonists from earth and effectively making the existing population of Vekta 2nd-class-citizens (wow Irish plantations much?). Some Vektan Helghans launch a terror campaign on ISA forces and the new colonists, so the ISA governor cracks down on all Vektan Helghan (wow Nazi reprisals against occupied territories much?). Some Vektan Helghans get permission to leave to Helghan to escape the oppression, the ISA agrees, but offers no humanitarian assistance, leading to a high death toll amongst the Helghan settlers. It's only after a long time of death and suffering on Helghan that the whole Nazi thing starts to happen. So the Helghast were not always evil, the UCN have been the evil, greedy ones with a desire to maintain an iron grip on their colonies from the get-go, and the Helghast only became evil when a dictator came to power, uniting the Helghan population with the promise of righting the many wrongs carried out against them. The actions of the Helghast are far more excusable than those of the UCN and ISA, and to top it all off, the ISA's top squad of dudebro knuckleheads committed genocide on the entire Helghan population. So no, the Helghast have not always been evil, they were just colonists trying to make their way in the universe until they happened to get too wealthy for the UCN, the UCN decided that the Helghans didn't deserve freedom anymore and the UCN then tried to seize control diplomatically and then by using sanctions and embargoes and then by invading, using ships built off of taxing the other colonies into the dirt. The Helghans then became oppressed and then got taken for a ride by a dictator who exploited the populations sense of injustice at what had happened to them. This "bizarre fascination" comes from actually having read the backstory, and realising that the villains are just oppressed masses, seeking justice, and that the heroes are really the power-hungry tyrants. And it comes from the bafflement that people choose to side with said tyrants. It also comes from the fact that I think that if Sony hadn't poured money into Guerilla, turning the Killzone franchise into little more than a technology demonstrator, then the 2nd game and other sequels may have had an actual, morally-complex story, where you play as the Helghast, defending your homeworld from invasion and the player gets to see things for what they really are; your real homeworld has been stolen from you, you've been confined to a cancerous, barren, slum-world, you're ill equipped, outnumbered army has failed to take back what is yours, and now the super-wealthy, well-equipped mass of dudebros that is the ISA have come to take over and oppress your people further, thinking that they're the heroes of this tragic story. But no, instead of a story like that, you play as said dudebros, running around bro-hugging and yelling at stuff with their stupid haircuts, and blowing an impoverished world to smithereens, all whilst completely unaware of the tragedy that's going on and the fact that they're the oppressor, with the moral justification from the developers being " _Luk! Dey da Nat-zees and dey got red eyes! So dey eevil, shoot dem!_ "

[@livale8337]

I'm surprised you didn't encounter an issue I encountered. As the resident panzy I naturally chose the easiest difficulty. I couldn't get past the first level because I died way too many times for the game to be fun. Enemies could see me just from around the corner, I couldn't move anywhere without being seen, and when I did die more often than not I respawned right in front of the people who killed me. And that's not even accounting for the orange and blue HUD against a background of orange and blue.

[@whimsyy1648]

I've never really gotten into the killzone series, particularly because playing single player fps is dull in my opinion and in the case of the killzone I played to try it out playing local multiplayer resulted in us focusing each other down more than the enemies since it was more often us getting in our own way.

THEY'RE COMING RIGHT AT ME I think this is the funniest Zero Punctuation yet.

[@1Sky1Earth]

The funniest part? He never once flat out says the game is shit. He did it with Knack, with Ryse, with... well, let's face it, the vast majority of games. And it's funny because Shadow Fall /is/ a very fun game, at least by launch title standards. That said... I dunno. Normally I try and justify getting a multi-hundred dollar console by defending it or getting loads of games for it and enjoying the crap out of those. But for whatever reason, I find I'm doing that far less then I ever had to with the PS3 or Xbox 360- ... well, the PS3 at least. Xbox had utterly gripped me with Halo 3 right from the get go. And the wii cost 200 bucks when I got it, and it served it's bloody purpose: Play Twilight Princess, play Smash Bros. That's it. The fact that it could double as a Game Cube whenever my nostalgia levels got too low was a damned good plus. But I digress. What I'm trying to say is I don't believe the PS4 is all the clunky. The backwards compatibility issue is being solved in the summer of this year, which is understandable given the fucking state of the business we're in, where pushing out a console in time for Christmas means trimming back some features for a later date. The Xbox One? No clue yet, don't have any space for the thing but at least my fucking PS4 doesn't take ages with updates like my PS3 did so I think it's official; the Xbox 360 became the PS4 and the PS3 became the Xbox One. And you know who gives a fuck? Not me, because I own bloody both! But if you are one of the people who do (like Yahtzee) then I feel for you. Because chances are, you'll be forced to suffer through whatever bits and problems you consider to be faults while the ones who don't sip lemonade and enjoy their beautiful baby/ies.

[@awsomeDualshock]

These games aren't that complicated the background story kind of is but in the end the games are really black and white. For some reason they think they are telling a far deeper story with a huge complicated moral lesson but that never surfaces. They shot themselves in the foot by trying to make Killzone Shadowfall more morally complex instead of just making more Nazi in space games.

It seems that its becoming a growing trend for games to have piss-poor or half-assed endings to leave room for another boring sequel no one really wants or cares for. And even if they give a good ending, gaming companies will either give an unneeded sequel set a decade into the future, give an origin story game or just reboot the entire franchise so they can make the same games all over again.

i feel like zero punctuation would have more views/subs if he wasn't part of the escapist. Im not subbed so i don't get any of their content, i only ever come to this channel for him :p

[@rockman9377]

i want to play as a helgast

[@MaelRadec42]

A lot of people want to play as the Helghast. Especially me.

[@nicksdrumz]

considering this will be lost to the comments i sometimes just tab out and listen to your voice while falling asleep. For some reason i always wake up feeling angry...

[@abandonedtrash]

You know what i just realised? They didn´t put backwards compatibility because they knew if they did they couldn´t shove as many remasters down out throats.

[@guus19900]

"argue over who finished off the milk?" I would totally play that game.... If it was at least 90% off on steam

[@VirusDragon828]

I think this was probably my favorite episode so far... but it doesn't justify forcing us to buy a clunky new console with no backwards compatability

[@Johan_the_Marshal]

they should make the next game where you play as a member of an inter planetary Police force that takes down the leaders of the Vectan Army

[@thebenexperience]

My name is Ben, I am Australian, and I love hats... Yay, I am yahtzee

[@Decembirth]

When someone brings up the lack of backwards compatibility I mentally append the onomatopoeia: "Waa waa".

[@ssbj144]

Nice. Damn game is just another Modern Military Shooter with bad plot. Killzone 1 was actually good and had no "aim down sights" crap or anything..

[@Madarch-i3b]

Killzone 2 and 3 had decent plots(well... characters and acting, more like) Killzone Shadow Fall is definitely the weaker Killzone.

[@TwiggehLeaf]

Review Octodad: Dadliest Catch!

[@TheAcepilot123]

I got $5 in my wallet it's on sale for 4.99 should i buy this ??

[@Quet00]

The Zipline thing actually does happen in can of duty black ops. In the second level... yeah thats the only call of duty i own

[@BaratoneTryhuba]

WHERE DOES MY DOG SLEEP!!???!!! the fuck? youtube! do we need a talk about boundaries? and yes google im looking at you

[@LordBloodySoul]

Welcome to the world of Killzone where the only Plot of the Story is to Kill the Helgast because they wear german military Hats and have red eyes occulars.

[@alexethridge5729]

In the sequel you shoot robot dinosaurs with a bow

[@TheMilhouseExperience]

Didn't watch anything but the first 34 seconds. Liked instantly.

[@mephosto]

that but is going to haunt the xbone and ps4 for years in my opinion, the backwards compatibility would have helped

[@lyingpancake95]

All of these are hilarious in their own way xD

[@Bryntwulf]

Yahtzee seems to really like Fallouts weapons. Some sort of secret love perhaps?

[@waithereivegonetogethelp3240]

yep. just agree with this one. not bad, played it all the way through without getting too bored. haven't played it since. For me that's the benchmark... will I play it multiple times; that's the sign of a genuinely good game..

[@travelingspartan2035]

Yeah, the story tried to have some character development, but it honestly just doesn't make quite enough sense. Using the O.W.L., however, despite the control for it, is not only useful but fun, and its actual design is pretty kickass. We don't see enough Vektan guns (especially since there's at least three Helghast rifles between which I can't tell the difference), but I don't mind that much since your standard rifle is just so cool

[@kylerollins6483]

I hate how they didn't give some super weapon. Like in KZ3 there was a gun that liquified people into a bloody mist and in KZ2 there was a gun that shot electricity that locked onto people and had infinite ammo

[@MalachiLper]

I will now say that in my head whenever I hear anyone speak anything remotely positive about just about anything.

[@VanguardFencer]

Lets agree that, in the next E3, anytime a PS4/Xbone exclusive is shown, we shout in unison "BUT IT DOESN'T JUSTIFY FORCING US TO BUY A CLUNKY NEW CONSOLE WITH NO BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY"

[@KillerOrca]

Hehe..Echo. Like that half-breed girl from that Halo fanfiction...which ironically came out three years ago.

[@fallynhyro568]

I concur good sir. I wish more character development occured. Although it was very pretty.

[@KillerOrca]

Yeah well now the Xbone is getting backwards compatibility...

[@ls200076]

halo reach and wars.

[@TheSquidPro]

They really ruined the story and the appeal after the first game, but managed to improve ever so slightly on some game elements.

[@wabuk97]

first game was the best though

[@TraustiGeir]

That touchpad-relationship is a tough one alright.

[@calf-]

Oh, that's not maple syrup. I can tell, because I'm a maple-syrup-expert. Canadian, for short.

[@noahqb2112]

The disclaimer that you wanted us to remember became as automatic as Call of Duty's similar disclaimer to it's players. From, -A fan since your first episodes.

[@endorbr]

The only chemistry that matters: Sulfur and potassium nitrate. BAM... LOL.

[@darkartsdabbler2407]

The track pad... thing... seems to have basically taken over as the now missing select button (mr share button is wearing its skin). That's all well and good I suppose. The only game I found actually utilizing it more was gta where a quick swipe while driving changes the radio station Fuckin gold

[@GuyWithBadHair]

The touch pad should've been on the back of the controller, like the Vita.
