Zero Punctuation: Far Cry 2

[TwistedEllipses]

Good review as always, zp needs to work on his South African accent though...

 

[megapenguinx]

Another great one I laughed quite a bit. Hmm I may pick this up later on

Great review, nailed the single player right on the head. However, the XBL multiplayer for farcry2 is SWEET. Played it for a while and really enjoyed it.

Did he pronounce everything weird in this review on purpose?

You win the mr. Deduction Award.

Although that accent sounded a bit Australian to me. Nevermind, I pretty much agree - Far Cry 2 looks nice, but plot is... well, it is. But there are better sandbox games.

Like Garry's Mod.

Ba dum tisch.

Well done, although I found the accent shifts rather annoying in places. Perhaps it's just my crowded listening environment, but they made Yahtzee's speech rather hard to understand. Aside from that one quibble, the commentary - as always - it astute and constructively pointed. Nicely done.

neatoo i liked, altho i was thinking is that really ben with that accent or someone else

 

[sirsolo]

All the other merc's were ignored! What about the shared missions Yahtzee? What of the helpful people?!

 

[SnowCold]

Huh... does Yahtzee have a cold or something, or was the change in accent a subtle joke that I failed to get?

I heard that too!

wierd...

Australian accent has nothing on British accent.

Have now sounds like Hev.

Makes me sad, but the review was funny. "Dis shit be real, yo" was pretty funny along with the neon signs above the guys head.

This was probably the worst of Yahtzee's reviews. It was boring and seemed to have recycled books.

Good Review! Power Ranger references FTW!

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

My time to Shine! I live in Cape Town South Africa and the accent he was imitating was the Afrikaans accent (The Afrikaans were the white rulers during Apartheid, now the country is 80% black) and he did an awful job. In places it was passable but it really did suck.

Also, it made playing Far Cry 2 that much more painful as the accents in that game are equally bad.

crikey,I think our boy Yahtz is slippin' into a new accent! I knew no man could live in Australia for so long and not get the accent!

I kinda like it though: it's new, and +10 for the power rangers reference, whom I despise now on looking back

 

[duckfi8]

looks liek im not gunna get that game, i wasnt countign on getting it anyway because the first one was just so fustrating

 

[Optimystic]

At first the accent was South African, but gradually faded to nasal Australian the longer he used it.

Anyway, I agree with his review: too many sandbox games out already, and they make one with no overarching point. Do not want.

(1st post ever!)

lawl~

 

[jewru]

that was a good one, loved the power rangers reference , is it just me or is Yahtzee starting to sound more Australian than British

 

[Ace of Spades]

I thought that he would hate it more, but nevertheless, a good review.

It's not just you by the way.

Wasn't going to post since Fahr Crey 2 never really caught me interest, but Yahtzee's pseudo-Australian-South-African-Err-Whatchamacallit-Accent made this review FUN.

 

[PatboyX]

So...what is going on with that University of CA badge in the middle of it all?
