Zero Punctuation: Far Cry 2

[Bowstring]

The accent switches completely ruined it for me; I was constantly disorientated, with a sudden urge to slap a certain Mr. Croshaw for stretching a half-decent joke out over the course of 3 fecking minutes.

How 'bout for your next video you just say "Sure is a game!". With all the songs and hilarious notes it'll add up to one and a half minute.

Already did that for Fallout 3, albeit before coming back to do it properly... it still counts enough to not bother doing it again.

Can't say I got much funny out of this one, probably something to do with the accent shifting breaking my brain. Or possibly because I don't have any interest in the game. Ah well, next week then.

Good review I didn't like Farcry 2 and thought it was an annoying game I do agree with how good the enviornments were though. The shifting accent was hilarious as well, between the usual and south-african, I thought it was appropriate to the review.

Ok, the accent mide me giggle, but I wonder how Fondant's gonna tike to it?

Excellent review though.

Lawl Yahtzee must've practiced that accent all week

 

[Mirokunite]

Rockers, and Mods?

Quadrophenia reference? Is Yahtzee a Who fan?

Also good Apocalypse Now allusion at the end.

 

[Kellerb]

the way yahtzee said *to choke a basking shark* is now my favorite line of his!

Definitely a Doctor Who fan.

Nnnnnno. This is definitely not a PG-13 forum. Throwing around words like "****" and "fuck" are absolutely fine, though people will probably think less of you for it. He did mention the AI basically has one goal in mind, and that is to kill you, and only you, but other than that, he really didn't mention it, this is true.
It's an FPS though. The controls are basically always the same.

"If you contact IT at [email protected] and ask for a name change I'll unban you. FuckYouDad is a little too harsh for our site standards. We're kind of a PG-13 site. Keep that in mind when you're posting as well and we're all good.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
Tom"

Regardless of anything else, why the do you want your name to be FuckYouDad? Do you always use FuckYouDad as a screename? Or do you have some bizarre reasoning, that it will make you a more feared and venerated voice of reason?

I loved this one particularly, the bad guy dropping his laundry and chasing the character with a monster truck.

I liked the accent shifts, but it got rather dull towards the end... like Far Cry 2.

 

[Deadly_Dragon]

FUCK YOU STEPHEN

Sorry, but that bit was awesome.

 

[Beacon]

I didn't really find this one funny. The one exception being the part where the rabbit got it's entire body bitten off XD.


Can't wait for Gears of War 2 next week =D

 

[Joreal]

Glad to hear I saved my $50 for something that was actually fun (Read: 2 Castlevanias for the DS). Then again, I am a bit biased towards Vampire slaughtering over going to Africa to do missions for crazies.

I did not like the accent. The rest of the review was funny and what I have come to expect from ZP. The accent was funny the first time it was used, but unlike other ZP running gags it got tire some. I could not understand what was being said and rewound the review several times to make sure I heard right. IMO Yahtzee should stick to talking clearly and dropping visual gags.

 

[JediDwag]

Good review.

I'm probably about as far as Yahtzee is in the game. I can't play it for more than an hour or two at a time because it's so repetitive. The open world to explore is there, but there really isn't any reason to explore it. It's not like Fallout 3 where you can find useful items or weapons. All you can find in Far Cry 2 are the diamonds you can use to unlock weapons, but you can get more diamonds faster by just doing the repetitive missions.

Eh, I'll probably finish it eventually. Oh, and the every-single-AI-in-the-game-trying-to-kill-you-on-sight-for-no-reason-at-all thing gets really annoying really fast...

 

[johnman]

Seems like Yahtzee can't really make up his mind on this one. I'll pick it up anyway cause I've been looking for a realistic shooter for a looooooong time now.

This si not a realsitic shooter- you can do mcuh better. If your a Pc gamer then pick up stalker - if your not then i dont know of any on 360.

I loved the accent. Afican seemed to be the only one missing from the game.

 

[LesIsMore]

Excellent review here - and an automatic win for Zordon reference to give us a little cherished nostalgia and likely inspire a few new avatars. I do think the accent wasn't used to the best effect though, schizophrenically hopping around at the second half of the review.

Lot of good gaming points here - I've been swayed by how utterly pretty FarCry 2, but in my limited experience I agree with the discouraging lack of narrative working for both sides provides. I'll stick with Fallout 3 I believe.

So how many people want to bet on next week being a brief mention of Gears of War 2?

Not really, I haven't chosen this name anywhere else. I like to spread my names around. It's more a parody of the angry suburban adolescent rebelling against his family. I think it's more fun than "SpagettiPants89".

More importantly, does it matter? Also, do you have any reason for naming yourself "Mousecoloured fox"?

These 'reviews' get worse and worse every week.

lol in no way shape or form is that accent Australian. Much like that intollerable little boy in the simpsons episode where they go to Australia.
Aussies is Aussies, makes my ears bleed hearing immitations.

(Written to the people who commented he sounded Australian.)
