[@783superman]

"All of it's important cities... And St. Louis." That one hurt a little bit.

[@jacobs2099]

I've been to st Louis alot and its like if you went to the south but everybody was an asshole and the food is terrible. Sorry

[@benjaminlongo9988]

Gin Jones I lived their for 8 years. That description is 100% accurate

[@1943germany]

I'm angry Las Vegas wasn't included in game since it's in the middle.

[@kraxosOBK]

Really? Of the two St. Louis jokes in this video, that's the one you had a problem with?

[@frankrappa6026]

Adam S good

[@Mathmachine]

I get the feeling Yahtzee had to visit St Louis once.

[@sketchsawyer]

One little reference about it not being worth visiting filled you with incredible joy?

[@ryanwill32]

perhaps he's just glad it got referenced at all

[@untamedpandasweg8986]

They struck "The Patriarchy" = Merit based hierarchies in Western nations, not Islamic with Ghostbusters, 3 Star Wars movies, much TV News indoctrination, and oppression narrative lies. Like the reasons for the Wage Gap, 3/5 Women in America being Raped in their lives, 21 Million Women being abused online. All Lies. They're trying to subvert the Culture to benefit them, not obtain equality. To control the way everyone thinks. By banning words, replacing them with New-Speak- like how they say Diversity instead of the truth of Black and Brown people. Side note: How is the term African-American not a bit racist and very divisive? Humans used to live in a Communist/Socialist like state before we understood economic systems like we do today. Progressives say that such economic policies are the future when in fact Capitalism came after Socialism. People need linear motivations to work their hardest. Paying everyone the same gives people no incentive to work as hard as they can, which will be more or less productive than other people naturally. It's social engineering and inhumane to penalize people based on arbitrary feelings of fairness instead of giving them what they have legally earned through free market contracts and voluntary transactions. Principles over feels, bruh. Let's get scientific. Women produce and release testosterone from their adrenal glands to their brains when needing to focus on high cognitive tasks such as fast paced/competitive gaming. After days of being in situations of high stress Women may break down because they can't keep producing testosterone to focus. They start producing adrenaline and will eventually fall apart mentally if they do not leave that stressful environment. Men naturally have an advantage over Women in prolonged settings of stressful situations because off this. Among other things. Like Men having generally 10% larger brains than Women, across all races. Obama had the same exact policies when in office. The Media did nothing. Trump ended the family separation with an executive order temporarily like he's supposed to. The President is not supposed to make laws with executive orders. He did exactly what he's supposed to legally. Those laws were passed by Democrats, not Republicans. We had those laws because we can't instantly confirm whether these children are being trafficked by the adult they are with. Do you really think it's better for children to be imprisoned with possibly dangerous adult criminals? Or with just other kids for a short time? We didn't force them into this situation. It's these peoples responsibility to make their country great, not rely on White people while saying Mexico and Latinos are the best. There were many "La Raza" or "The Race" believing people that were in the Migrant Caravan that headed for the US border months ago causing these problems. American Men have to sign up for the Draft to Vote. That's not Equality. We've never Legally had Gender Equality in America. But because it disadvantages Men and benefits Whamen, they keep quiet about it, and even lie about it, about their vision of Equality. Wage Gap lies. Because Feminism isn't about Equality. Now, instead of projecting and continuing the cycle of hate that's enveloped Western Cultures, form an argument. Read my Copy/Paste in a reply to a comment on my funny video. ;) Voluntary charity is moral. Socialism uses Government force to redistribute resources, you will be jailed if you do not give them money. This is a short discussion I had in a comments section of one of The Daily Wire's video. This is the discussed paragraph. The rest are below. Humans used to live in a Communist/Socialist like state before we understood economic systems like we do today. Progressives say that such economic policies are the future when in fact Capitalism came after Socialism. People need linear motivations to work their hardest. Paying everyone the same gives people no incentive to work as hard as they can, which will be more or less productive than other people naturally. It's social engineering and inhumane to penalize people based on arbitrary feelings of fairness instead of giving them what they have legally earned through free market contracts and voluntary transactions. Principles over feels, bruh. Jon Smith 54 minutes ago "UntamedPandaSweg I agree with most of what you said here. But your statement that humans used to exist in a Communist/Socialist way is way off the mark, how you can substantiate it would be interesting, but not likely any more than anecdotal, with the odd examples of where it was tried and abandoned in abject failure. The original pilgrim enclaves were somewhat socialist but many failed completely, as the truth of human nature, includes sloth, sense of entitlement and thirst for power and control. I’m pushing 70, in the 60’s...the whole “Commune” sex, drugs, rock n roll, free love thing sounded pretty cool. But then experience shows ya that the dude gettin high all day, making tie-dyed t-shirts, is entitled to the same as the mechanic busting his ass and knuckles all day, keeping the communes equipment running...sorta makes ya rethink your positions and priorities. Turned me into a hardcore capitalist, second amendment “nut-job”, willing to fight to keep what my bloody knuckles had earned. Yeah, I support freedom of choice, and I CHOOSE to keep the product of my labor and the “right” to choose if and with whom I’ll “share”. By my mentions of freedom of choice, I DIDN’T mean abortion...just to clarify. ✌️🍻🇺🇸🍕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸" UntamedPandaSweg 29 minutes ago "Jon Smith Happy 4th of July! It's a malformed abomination of an argument. I know that. A lot of History is murky, and more importantly we will never know what people thought/why they really did most things. Time for an excuse. Not much time to study History when I need to know everything about World Politics daily. I like to think about how early Humans treated resources as a society, the concept interests me. I theorize Humans before Civilization lived in a more socialistic fashion, technically they were more communist than anyone will ever be again from there not even being the idea of Government, because they didn't have the ideas that people do now of things like the Right to Private Property, and because they literally had to live like that, to survive as a species. They just had their feelings for guidance. There's been studies on how people eating together will subconsciously eat about the same amount of food as the other people eating with them if they're sharing from the same restricted food source. This is a big spur to guide my thinking to propose Socialism and Communism had their uses and aren't inherently evil. They're regressive ideas."

[@videogamebomer]

UntamedPandaSweg Down worry the men in white clothes will soon be here to take you home to the funny house.

[@untamedpandasweg8986]

videogamebomer Consistently logical arguments with easily understandable points that aren't simply emotional manipulation? 'NIGGA YOU CRAZY, INSANE, YOU MENTAL BRO.'

[@mjc0961]

2:39 - He's started using swears from his Will Save The Galaxy For Food book. I love it. 🤣

[@iwillbecomeimmortalordietr8506]

"Its like releasing a new iphone without a earphone jack" #shotsfired

[@DefendingTheGame]

Ha ha, amazing

[@kirbyfanos123]

Joshua Smith And selling stupidly expensive earbuds that can be bought for cheaper

[@Lttlemoi]

And _then_ have the fundamental driving force behind your largest competitor do the exact same thing a few years later.

[@sebastiancintron29]

Fuck

[@sebastiancintron29]

I have Motorola Phone that has no earphone jack. Send help.

[@alexavier1696]

I just realized this is essentially the exact thing they they did with Watch Dogs. 1. Serious revenge story 2. Fun open-world, gain followers. All because they tried to develop a story, but failed, solution, make something fun and let people have fun.

[@Superschokokeks]

shit, as if games, which make fun, sells welll! Ubisoft is groundbreaking!

[@alexavier1696]

Superschokokeks The innovation is surreal. But at least they try, right? 🤷‍♂️

[@kin-3877]

Had this exact same thought when he said it

[@ZakuFoxy]

"And St.Louis". I live here, so I mean, I totally get it.

[@JJAB91]

So thats how you became a furry

[@andrewmatlock3772]

Zachary Quinlan you think they have the random speed limit drops when cross into a new municipality? Or the downtown interstates that are never not under construction?

[@ZakuFoxy]

If they did, you'd never get anything done is Crew2 XD

[@xenocidercarson]

Let's just be happy you don't have to drive in east st louis

[@coreymeyer65]

Oh shit I live it St.louis too and became a furry. Is it in the water?

[@m3grim]

1:53 Ah yes, the great state of Lake Michigan

[@Punnikin1969]

I think there's people in it so it counts. It would be much easier to prove if headstones would float though.

[@Skozzy]

Yahtzee's closing zings are so consistently mind blowing

[@derrinerrow4369]

like the david cage twist

[@DrBachur]

Yahtzee's got a real "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson" thing going on with St. Louis, I gather.

[@VegasA3]

His car was under the Arch so he had to climb up it while shovelling Imo's into his mouth.

[@dankayur2910]

"Just play, say, Mario Kart with your accelerate and brake buttons on opposite sides of the room." - Oh Yahtzee, you really have no idea how to play Mario Kart, do you? Noone uses the brake button.

[@oscarmccormack1611]

Dan Kayur Clearly you don't play 200cc.

[@dankayur2910]

I do, actually. Temporarily releasing the accelerator is enough for me.

[@oliverhaberstock4958]

Evi1M4chine Haha, nice one! You showed him

[@tomgeytenbeek2207]

You fool- the drift button you rely on so much IS a brake *dramatic reveal music or whatever*

[@nicklager1666]

Another large sandbox game from Ubisoft, man i didnt see that one coming.

[@DirectionallyChallenged]

I live in missouri and i'll be honest... St.Louis has about the most stuff in the state. My town doesn't even have good internet. hell Springfield is like going to LA compared to where I live.

[@buffpeteydinky7748]

You’re not wrong

[@DirectionallyChallenged]

which means I'm only technically right and that's the best kind of right!

[@JokerLurver]

But if you're anywhere near Springfield, then your surroundings are beautiful. Love that part of the state.

[@DirectionallyChallenged]

nah i'm out in the boonies, mostly just a lot of woods.

[@JokerLurver]

Directionally Challenged sounds lovely to me. I grew up in LA. Big cities are toxic.

[@georgianfishbowl170]

2:42 'doints'.... nice... subtle

[@loonachan]

I feel like that "Guy Fiery" joke didn't get the attention it deserved. Can you go to Flavortown in The Crew 2?

[@mianoxide1199]

In the next DLC, I reckon.

[@testname4464]

If you could they'd spend a good 3 hours making the same "Hey, we should to... *FLAVOR TOWN* !"

[@TrueMentorGuidingMoonlight]

Let’s all laugh at an industry that never learns anything, tee hee hee!

[@Sacrocide]

Colin Velius at*

[@hfar_in_the_sky]

Man, I love those videos.

[@MusicForTheBroken]

Colin Velius oh they've learned a lot about the consumer just not what you think.

[@gamedesignwithmichael]

The only reason there isn't discovery towers is because the map is unlocked from the start. ... ... Not because cars can't drive up towers.

[@Joey099]

Stop

[@misterbaman]

"All of its important cities, and St. Louis" As someone who lives in St. Louis, that statement is pretty fitting

[@zJoriz]

"Like Maltesers on a loved one's lower back" Thanks for putting that image into my head, dude.

[@chartreuseking5995]

2:41 What a load of plying trac you bracket! I loved Will Save the Galaxy for Food and very much hope to read more of your work in the future Yahtzee.

[@schlafanzyk]

1:02 the universal feature of a game that immediately makes me quit and go back to playing Destruction Derby 2

[@EhmJayBe]

2:40 Ha! Book reference! I feel personally spoken to now.

[@crispygamer2756]

3:10 kinda what farcry 5 was for me: no weapon or character progression, you can buy almost any gun(even the high tier ones in a slightly different color) and you can also unlock any skill from the beginning if you feel like it. The game just throws everything it has to offer at you from the very beginning.

[@MasterCharlie104]

5:00 well now we know what Yahtzee and Kess get up to in their spare time

[@TheDonutMan3000]

Lived in St. Louis for a year. Can confirm

[@herald9204]

Wow Yahtzee, what profanity. I expect family friendly insults, but you called a man a doint. (I'm kidding, great nod to Will Save the Galaxy for Food)

[@blarg2429]

No swearing, this is a Christian server. :V

[@snipeyaman3946]

Great book, waiting for Differently Morphous to come out in paper instead of electrons.

[@mgk-metalgearkelly5054]

Headphone Jack burn... 😂😂🤣🤣

[@Vanalosswen]

Always love the videos. And I just finished listening to Will Save The Galaxy For Food, so the doint reference made me grin.

[@Le_funnyname]

Every time you upload I'm rewatching all your videos

[@authenticlimeflavor432]

So you're saying this game is a bit trimmed down compared to the last one? I guess you could call it a crew cut

[@RagmaticalRachel]

Thanks for another hilarious video!

[@kenzito101]

I wonder if Yahtzee ever played NFS MW 2005 (edit: had to specify the year).

[@TheLukey27]

Thanks for the birthday present. Love all of your videos.

[@gaxit]

Amazing videos keep it up man

[@brianaubuchon9267]

As someone who has been to St. Louis, its nice to see it mentioned here, but St. Louis does have some things of note like the Arch, Busch Stadium, the Art Museum and library, Scott Trade center, and St. Louis zoo.

[@Aj9Livess]

malteasers on a loved ones back... not an image I thought would ever come to mind, but that's the beauty of yahtzee

[@TS6815]

But yahtz, you already answered whether driving games need plots "Driving about, driving about, driving about, driving about"

[@jellydonut0]

The Crew 2 plot: driving about, driving about, driving about, driving about, driving about, whhhhaaaaaaa!

[@megaluemas]

AYYYY DOINT! a wonderful swear from a hilarious and exciting book

[@reggie1025]

As a St Louis native I have to say... meh fair observation.

[@shmanielshmlane2359]

This was a really really good one

[@MillRunner]

I feel like all the plot a racing game needs is "You are a racecar driver who wants to be the best racecar driver and win a lot of circuits".

[@vazak11]

Great video!

[@Lucarioguild7]

This video is the nicest anyone has ever been to St.Louis

[@SnipeMD]

Wait, I'm confuzzled. *_Aren't Sandbox games supposed to have sand in them, or am I getting something wrong here?_*

[@steveejohnson7932]

I don't like sand. It's coarse ,and rough, and Irritating... And it gets everywhere.

[@averagebritishguy7082]

There's Mad Max...

[@tomgeytenbeek2207]

@Stevee Johnson DAMMIT I knew someone would've made this joke already 😂

[@brendancarlton7326]

I like this.

[@whussung]

It goes to show how right Yahtzee is about the importance of stl that I got this excited hearing him mention it at all...

[@VF.Milagre]

0:47 He always looked like poor man's Walter White to me

[@howardjones3224]

Worth it for the Maltesers gag alone.

[@KThyme]

Herp, Yahtzee dropped a doints in there...reference to his book Will Save the Galaxy for Food...how clever.

[@yellowfamilyfunny3065]

How is it possible that we've never come up with a racing or sports game with a more complicated plot than "beat my rivals" or "build my brand" was playing ssx3 and skate 3 and even as old games they both fall into that category

[@NessaWyvern]

I don't know how Yahtzee doesn't have more subscribers than this, he's far more entertaining to listen to than every other channel that I know of.

[@robsim37]

Doints. Hahahaha. Nice

[@HDV340]

Doints haha

[@mistehmen]

Nothing is more discouraging than a racing car game without racing car physics.

[@rosspendragon7783]

U should do dark wood you'll love it

[@TheQrstOne]

"Hot pink wallet" is a phrase that required a replay and had now been added to my lexicon. Bless you, Yahtzee!

[@kif1983]

The plot racing games should have is: you are a faceless nameless driver that starts with a Toyota Yaris, through races, with no cut scenes or dialogue, you earn money to buy better cars and enter different races... Maybe you can also pepper it with some license challenges to unlock new races.

[@Sparking_Ram]

Looking back nowadays people realize how good the Crew 1 was. Lot of things Yahtzee mentioned were detrimentally missing from 2 such as cops and vehicle damage were in 1. Also the structured plot of 1 meant you got to organically visit the entire map at some point on your journey.

[@danyt.3184]

+1 fastness killed me :'D

[@petrarcheleven8816]

I know I'm more than a year late to the party, but Crew 2's plot is basically "Let's be Forza Horizon."

[@RAFMnBgaming]

Great use for the JoyCons.

[@StadtplanDan]

Hmm we had car damage way back in 1999 with Need for Speed: Road Challenge/High Stakes, seems what could be achieved then cannot be done now (the cars in NFS were licensed too).

[@ludwigziffer6895]

Anyone else notice that little WillSave The Galaxy For Food reference?

[@Goodboyobito]

"And st.louis"! How dare you make fun of my birthplace!!

[@declancarolan8003]

not that comments on the Internet mean anything but why has this man not made a video on mount and blade warband? it seems right up his alley, being a compelling single player experience that’s utterly unique and immersive.

[@endlessoul]

Guy Firey. I'm a fan.

[@demigamers6822]

You made me choke with Guy Fiery.

[@mikairu2944]

Holy shit so many videos lately!

[@merrittanimation7721]

If you drove a straight line from Los Angeles to St Louis then you might run into a Ski resort or some pretty vistas at best. At worst you'll go through Oklahoma City

[@karlncholson7517]

Doints!! *tips hat*

[@phillipgallant2931]

Nice!

[@kalenriley6388]

I’m from St. Louis and he’s right

[@emilioflores3850]

I'm okay with having to unlock the races, that is so long as I can play as a orc by the fourth play through

[@threesixtydegreeorbits2047]

Whats that? Snippers clipper is your next review. Splendit!

[@justleah75]

Yay St.louis!

[@ThePa1riot]

I remember this game when it was called Diddy Kong Racing. And that DID have a plot!

[@anthonywalters7434]

He finally reviewed a current racing game woo

[@CP3oh322]

In that straight line from LA to St. Louis there WOULD be some good BBQ in Kansas City. That's about it.

[@ScrewYou419]

Star pilot math reference, nice.

[@mistermann4163]

PS2 NFS:MW Is still the best driver game in my opinion and I haven't beaten it yet.

[@sauceboss2210]

They actually had cops in the trailer but the only spec of cops ive seen is one charger in a race and it didn't even have lights or bars just a wrap

[@MMCLLC7]

"All of its important cities, and st. Louis."

[@Vi-XiphiqiX]

Maltesers on a loved ones back....... brb, off to the shop and..... Thanks Yhatzee

[@M12GProductions]

I'm not even from St. Louis or an Apple guy, and even I felt the sting from this video.

[@JinglesRasco]

People use the brake in Mario Kart?

[@monsuierrobertmughbae6511]

Finally dad's back

[@Ashley-Slashley]

You should do Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon

[@droylajarhirthefelinethief81]

Okay, that last bit I'm gonna try if the gods grace me with a Switch.

[@geoffreywinn4031]

Cool video!

[@K4g4m1]

The large map is the one feature that the crew has going for it. Even with quality/content issues outside the major cities, few games will allow you an unconstrained driving experience like the crew can. And I enjoy that feeling very much, to be able to drive fast for a long time without worrying about hitting an invisible map boundary (where the road turns and I guess i am driving on a 20 minute circut now). On the other side, things I don't enjoy about the crew include the handling, the lacking visual customization, the story, the progression, the rpg-inspired upgrades and the lack of freedom on water (if you try to drive out to sea in many places you just get reset).

[@rougeremediesintuitivetaro2570]

Im driving to McDonald's and not getting this game from Redbox, thank you for the extra fries🍟

[@TheDorianTube]

Or play Sonic All-Stars Transformers where you get to do all that morphing in a concentrated track lol

[@yourdead408]

Dont forget to add TABS and Moonlighter to the Full series playlist pls

[@BrandonTrex]

"Ah-loo-mih-ni-um"

[@adrianblom2869]

8 out of 10 for this review not bad

[@waffleless]

2:42 You self-referential plying bracket you.

[@WMchannel365]

I'm curious to see if Yahtzee does a retro review of Killer7 since the remaster is coming on steam soon

[@WMchannel365]

Juan Isasi It's steam only but yeah, it's coming in the fall

[@DracoChurch07]

Well done Yatz. Say that line again about realeasing a sexual with less story loude for both the game developers and phone makers in the back! *applause while watching from his S8+*

[@SupertoastGT]

I’d consider trying it (because of the games drought) if it wasn’t needlessly online-only.

[@JobroskiSwaqqman]

There is always Diddy kong racing I guess

[@RangerMan3333]

Slightly unexpected game choice, but im all for this.
