Zero Punctuation: Far Cry 2

[LesIsMore]

This is more of the blurghedy blurgh blurgh that some people said was missing from last week's ZP. It feels more like a review and less like a decent into cheap laughs about body parts.

Indeed - though to be fair, he boldfacedly said in the last review that there wasn't much point in talking about the gameplay since it's the exact same as every other Tomb Raider game.

i laughed REAL HARD AT THE BEAR GRYLS PART ?

 

[DragunovHUN]

I'll pick it up anyway cause I've been looking for a realistic shooter for a looooooong time now.

Look elsewhere. This isn't one of them.

Good review. I never liked cry engine games, and it would appear that Far Cry 2 would infuriate me even more than the other two.

The accent is mildly annoying and I hope he goes back. I could barely understand him in some parts of the review...

 

[mokes310]

My sentiments exactly, although, Yahtzee is a bit more eloquent than I am, and much more talented with the South African accent.

 

[Hazurr]

Is it me, or is his voice a bit off this time?

 

[BigbadaBEEF]

Great vid as ever, i loved his blisteringly awfull south african accent

also am i the only person on this forum who actually DOES like Far Cry 2 ?

 

[carsenere]

Damn it's like he is working of a hitlist, he mentioned Farcry, Tombraider and Gears in his 2008 review and he is wrapping the year up. Be expecting Gears of war 2 next week.

 

[Socius]

good enough but what the hell was the meaning of saying "E" instead of "A" during the whole episode?

 

[cyber druid]

I didnt really laugh at the the so called "review" but it was still entertaining and worth my time.

 

[Brokkr]

Very funny. I loved the "Hey I did your laundry and baked you a cake" bit.

 

[DannyDeparted]

*sigh* nobody ever gets the more 'subtle' jokes.
Perhaps next time you would be well advised Ben to just post a big
"I AM PUTTING ON AN ACCENT TO MOCK THE ONES IN THE GAME"
sign down the bottom of the review, as it seems tis the only way that
these jokes actually hit home.

I loved it! I mean, where I come from, accents change by the street and how you sound makes a difference in how the people across the street (or the sidewalk) react to you.

Gears of War next? I mean, he already bumped off Tomb Raider. How many more did he miss this past month?

Sucks that we have to wait until December 2nd for God of War III....and Zero Punc review.

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

Hehe, clever, he quoted apocalypse now - which is also boring.

 

[Schiggy]

Zordon + "Fuck You Stripey Hooorse" = Win. Loved the accent, am I the only one who could hear the aussie kid of the episode of the simpsons? "Et waz en imergency call from the dreenege commission in spreenfield"

 

[Neonbob]

Loved the review, though I thought the engine Far Cry 2 runs on is called Dunia...I remember there was a feature on it in Game Informer, and that was one of the standout details in it.
Other than that little nitpick, great job.

 

[SadToots]

What the hell is wrong with his voice? It sounds like he had been eating only peanut butter for the past 2 days and had inflated his lips.

 

[J.theYellow]

In this episode, Yahtzee is apparently trying to make us glad he doesn't have an even more inscrutable accent.

 

[Zand88]

Did anyone else here a police siren in the background?
