Zero Punctuation: Call of Duty 4

[tragicomic]

Sounds good. I'll grab it along with the insurgent MOD where I finally get to shoot Amis & Brits!

Great review, hilarious as the other ones I've seen. However a niggly matter that I feel compelled to address! Yahtzee states :-

You spend most of the game with the British SAS, as they covertly fix things from behind the scenes. But they're depicted as a bunch of morally questionable psychotic thugs. Again just like in real life

What makes you believe that the SAS are a bunch of "morally questionable psychotic thugs...just like in real life"?

To kill requires one with a stern constitution and perhaps a particular outlook. However I'm sure most would say the SAS are a professional lot, belonging to arguably the most experienced and well trained army in the world. I'm not proclaiming this in some sort of overt patriotic flag waving gesture - just slightly perplexed as to why you'd think the SAS are brutish thugs?

Answers on a postcard....or if necessary toilette paper!

Keep up the great work

There are SO MANY bitches in the gaming world. Most of you all included.

The reason for a game review is to have the person who is reviewing it let us know if it is a worthy game or not. And while Yahtzee has come up with a fantastically (no sucking of arse intended) comical way of doing this, you all seem to have a problem with him doing it with the top selling games of today.

Classic examples are the Halo 3 & Call of Duty 4 installments of Zero Punctuation.

Now forgive me for thinking, because I've discovered that thinking can get you into trouble in todays world...BUT...Have you bitching excuses of game loving human beings ever thought, 'wow...this guy may be right...maybe the game does deserve praise (or rejection)' instead of saying 'I'm disappointed with this, CoD4 is so generic, Halo 3 was amazing, blah, blah, blah, review something like 'The Diamond in the Rough that Nobody Cares About'.

If I was Yahtzee, I would throw in the towel because my fan base is 98% made up of fucken retarded piranhas's, but I guess it pays the gas bill, so why not live off your stupidity.

Nice sweeping generalisations there, now get off the soapbox. Before the FBI (Frightening Bastard Irritants) track you down and take you down a peg or two. I think stupidity is being mistaken for ignorance here. "You all seem to have a problem with him doing it" (reviewing top games). Just because Yahtzee's reviews are acerbic, entertaining and critical, doesn't mean that every one has to agree with him. This isn't a place where dissenting opinions should be locked up then obliterated. Far from it, if some one wants to disagree (and stating why) then go ahead. Why flame them for it?

Some people set themselves up as a 'forum Jesus', you're going to get crucified so why bother? No Lazarus here gentlemen.

am i the only person in the wold that doesnt like this game

well, I dont DISLIKE it, but its not exactly the ground breaking gaming experience everyone seems to think it is... its just, well, another shooter... identical to every other shooting game in the universe >.<

 

[sparkydrummer15]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME. I think this reviewer has completely overlooked the multiplayer aspects of this game it has been the most popular game on xbox live for the past 4 months straight. and no this shooter is not identical to every other shooter in the universe so simalacrum ur a DOUCHE BAG and you better play another shooter before you compare this game to any other.

 

[dungeonmaster]

hmmmm.
I rented C.O.D. 4 and only played it for a couple hours
sorry to say I really didnt enjoy it very much
/cry
I like HALO 3 and Clive Barkers Jericho OMG..... /mourn
and I hated Bioshock after like 8 hours too !!
WHATS WRONG WITH ME!!!
is it wrong to love Yatzee but disagree on these games?!!
and by love I mean it in a way like I dont have cable and I find him more entertaining than television and have watched each show like 10 times

Ha, I live in Winchester Awesome.
To repeat everyone else, excellent review as per.

The videos broken, it resets continually at 50 seconds in. dont know why, both me and a mate are having this problem, can someone please check it out.

 

[btingu]

I experienced the same, but in my case the video resets itself at 2:25

 

[Sarge8806]

I was surprised that this game didn't suck horribly like all the other COD's which made me want to gut myself with a rusty knife and then hang myself with my small intestine.

 

[trukurt]

Every word that comes out of your mouth is pure fact, and anybody who sends you crap about something that you said is a f*** wit.

BANANAS!!!

Now that i think about it COD4 has an ending that lacks closure probably for a reason. The charecters are in my opinion fairly well developed and in the end they all die. The gameplay makes you feel is if your really fighting with them and they all die in the end which happens alot of the time in real wars. I think its another message that war is bad.

Meh this train of thought is just the after affects of a suger overdose anyway. Not that Yahtzee gives a shit about multiplayer but i think the MP is great aswell. It lacks the shity weapon buying system that counter strike and crysis uses that keeps the winners winning.

 

[jvm23fool]

CoD4's ending sucks, everything else in the game is good: Online? Flawless.

Good review, funny as always lol.

 

[Furious George]

i nearly cried at the end, then i rembered it was not real, and manned up, and played cod4 online

 

[hehehuh]

btw, its "killing in the name," not "killing in the name of"

rage against the machine is srs bsns

COD4 is a very good game and i found this video absolutely hilarious and what he said about the ending being VERY anti-climactic is also true but although the single player isn't up to much the online multiplayer is absolutely fantastic!
