Zero Punctuation: Painkiller

[perpetualburn]

I'm surprised he didn't use the song "PAINKILLER" by Judas Priest.
Ahem.

He did admit "No More Heroes" was too obvious in the No More Heroes review, though.

Congrats, Yahtzee, on you influencing a gun skin in Bulletstorm! Woot!

influencing a gun skin,
i just rewatched this and realised that the entire thing of Bulletstorm was inspired by this review.
From the big pretty levels, the lack of dirty brown in the graphics, the lack of long non playable cutscenes and the over-the-top ultraviolent, kill every ************ in the room and shoot off his gonads with exotic weaponry that is not a BFG.

And, true enough, only two years later People Can Fly DID create a gun that had t!ts and was on fire....as artwork on the gun, but still.

I just found this amusing fully animated version of hte Painkiller review on Youtube. I thought it was entertaining and well done. Just gonna leave it here in case anyone wishes to see it.

Speaking of Serious Sam as an antidote to realistic FPS parasites, it's 75% off on Steam this weekend.

I apologize of this has been asked before (and for replying to a thread several years old) but which version of Painkiller is Yahtzee reviewing? I tried to get this on Steam... and there is Painkiller - Redemption, Black Edition, Overdose, Resurrection. No version withought a added name... help me out please?

i know i'm a little late in replying to this, but if you take the fact that he basicly said this game was the sh*t, i honestly have to say that monster tale (new game) is like this game in the sense that nobodies ever heard of it but the game is f*cking awsome. If i was allowed to, i would rant on for hours about this Monster Tale game, but i'm not, so i won't, but if your really interested just ask me


At ANY rate, great job Yahtzee (i think i spelled that right)

Incredible game

You know... Yatzee made me actually go and play Painkiller... And it kinda sucked.

The rhytm of the weapons is really weird, and the damage of everything but the namesake weapon itself is really lacking. Played through it until the suriken+lightning gun (that REALLY ANNOYING ICE LEVEL) and threw it away.

I guess my heart will forever be with Serious Sam, UT99 and Q2.

A very long time ago, I read a Dave Barry column where after hearing one song he sort of liked on a radio station his son had set as a favorite, the announcer said "I'm sorry folks, that was mainstream" and put on a song called "detachable penis." I didn't entirely believe him until now.
