Zero Punctuation: Dead to Rights: Retribution

[Quorothorn]

I keep getting this game confused with Red Dead Redemption

...

Me too.

-

I'm slightly confused by this one to some extent.

...

Actually, Yahtzee did criticize Just Cause 2 at several points, including saying that it "made wanton destruction boring" in some of its missions, and that it was fun but just too insubstantial for him. That said, he definitely liked it better than this.

Awesome. Your reviews lately have been funnier than most, but this takes the cake. Just plain hilarious.

That has got to be one of my favourite endings to a review yet, up there with: "...and the hammer was made of wank."

 

[UMNiK]

I've never actually heard him give a favorable review, except in a backhanded sort of way.

Yeah, except for the Saints Row 2 and about gajillion RoR:SoT and SH2 references, sure.

Im not trying to be funny or sarcastic, but this is something i am curious about.
do you think that he already had those "re" words in mind, or just got like three dictinaries and crammed in as many as he could?

Dumb
Made me laugh.XD

Same here. Such a silly joke to make me laugh so hard- I've watched it 3 times already and it's still funny.

I suspect he had most of them in his head, but when he realized just how long he could make it run, he went and found one or two more. Just a off-the-top-of-my-head guess, though.

How Dead to Rights: Regrettable. I was actually hoping the game would be good.

Notice that he didn't actually say the game was bad.

Generally speaking Yahtzee only reviews a game if he doesn't like it to some respect. I've never actually heard him give a favorable review, except in a backhanded sort of way.

No. Generally speaking, he complains about the games he reviews. People tend to whine when he does glowing ones, so he doesn't do them anymore.

And yes, he did complain about the cinematic kills taking a lot of time, and the general attitude of the game being childish. But at no point does he ever say the game itself is bad. Also note that at no point does he use the word "Shit(ty)" or any synonym thereof.

Everyone in here has Dead to Rights: Recycled this joke to death.

I saw a review of this game on a T.V show, and boy, Yhatzee wasn't kidding about the dog mauling people for ages.

Another great review, I never realised how odd the video's look without the voice over.

 

[Enigma6667]

Hooray a Dead To Rights: Review....wow this joke is gonna get old fast. Dead to Rights: Really fast!!

Also, I just realized that there are quite a lot of games with dogs in them...kinda weird, but okay.

Also, Rebecca Mayes making a song about Yahtzee is an epic win!

 

[i don't know]

omg i love your show, i laugh at the end of every episode and still remember it for the rest of the week.

p.s. how do you talk so fast without messing up the words you say?

 

[demouse]

DAMN YOU YAHTZEE you missed a pun

at 2:25 it should have been the people's DEAD TO RIGHTS republic of madbodia

 

[Tolerant Fanboy]

"Pain is God and I am Pope" is actually a very good battle cry.

 

[Naminator236]

This is one of the good ones, loved it. Seemed more lengthier than usual too, which is a good thing.

 

[Vorpals]

This Dead to Rights: Review was the best one since the last time I posted this on one of Yahtzee's videos.

 

[Affero-Dolor]

I'm pretty sure I love you. Will you marry me?

 

[The Iconnorclast]

That was a Dead to Rights: Really good review. Hope Rebeccas song turns out well.

 

[ENKC]

I enjoyed this Dead to Rights: Review.

If this game attracted more attention, I'm sure the whole dog vs crotch thing would become some kind of meme. As it is, Hyper magazine here in Aus (whom Yahtzee wrote for back in the day) referred to it as a 'scrotality'. They said 'sack attack' was an honourable second.

Really though, this doesn't strike me as the kind of game that would have had a fiercely loyal fanbase clamouring for a remake and rejoicing on its arrival. Which begs the question "why bother?".
