Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto IV
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
Tree's the biggest killers in all video games. Also they need to stop adding more and more things in the games slowly turning into a gaint training mission for one big mission XD. Thanks again for slugging out another great review
They're being banned because the video is 4:28 long, and their comments showed up only 2 minutes after Yahtzee posted his review, meaning that they didn't actually see the thing (at least not in its entirety) - they just wanted first comment. In any case, I really enjoyed this one, as always, thank you to Yahtzee and ZP for being pretty much the only reason to actually look forward to Wednesday. I have no plans to play this game, mostly because I don't play sandbox games on principle because of the fear that I'll stop doing anything else, but I've been looking forward to a review that actually pointed out some faults - All I've seen so far are 10/10s with no mention of fault (a little unbelievable) or some fanboy claiming that the whole game is awful because they don't have an XBox or a PS3.agerdemon said:
In the main, good calls on all gameplay elements. The slow pace and lack of engagement with the story are the hijackers that slipped onto the Airbus 380 that is GTA IV.
Well done on clocking that flying through the windscreen is the pair of rubber vehicular dogs bollocks, even if you failed to mention that drinking and driving have been taken to a whole new level of auto-defecating fun that new hardware was made for.
The only other point I'd add is that, in a vast act of refined parody that exceeds the lame script and voice acting, the police rarely give much of a toss what you do until you doing something that looks a bit, well, terroristy. Then they go six-star bananas. Thank you DMA Rockstar.

shock! what has mr. pitts done with yahtzee?!
Finally, a review that accurately points out the nit-picky things of gta4, but still fother mucking fun nonetheless.
(btw has anyone else noticed the Hammer of Ban has been struck quite a bit in this forum?)

Odd to hear you say that even after reviewed the game you'll continue to play it. Unfortunatly I don't have a next gen console.
Wait... he liked it? I shouldn't try and return it to my local HMV (EB having betrayed me most heinously by dropping the ball on my Persona 3 FES preorder)? This is strange... so very strange.
Loved the review.
As always, GTA is controller-busting frustration and fun. I haven't gotten too far into the game, what with having a 'real job' to do. Well, OK, not a 'real job'. Just something people pay me for that's time consuming. Like prostitution.
The game's crashed on me a few times. Don't know if it's my not having the 360 connected to the internet up to pick up patches, or the 'Ring Of Death' coming back, or if I've finally worn out the DVD drive. Probably just my two year 'old' console wearing out on me from mostly collecting dust between game releases of any consequence.

Very amusing review, top notch stuff, laughed out loud constantly, especially at Grand Theft Normal Boring Life XD Sixaxis hahaha oh i cannot wait to give that a go, it should make for some giggles or controller to wall arm action. Press X repeatedly to exaggerate financial standing XD lmao Excellent.
You can ride geese? I want GTA4 :'( FFS
Best review yet? I'm still partial to Psychonauts and Burnout Paradise reviews, but this is still a gleaming pinnacle of Yahtzee induced satire at its best.
Fallout guy agrees

I couldn't agree more.agerdemon said:
I can't help but wonder if commenting on a ZP episode is a deadly sin in some twisted, obscure version of reality, and now I'm actually afraid to add my own comment.
Anyway, awesome review. As every single one of its predecessors, it repeatedly sent me both laughing and - more frequently - scuttling off to the dictionary, and mind you, I regard that as a good thing.
hmm yahtzee was rather quick to label Niko as Serbian. that's what i thought at first but later on in the missions (NOT A SPOILER) i remember him being called a slovak by a certain colourful character
