I cant get it to play so I dont know if he makes mention of it but I believe this is his 100th video with The Escapist.

If you are running an ad blocker, that is probably it. Also, this is the 98th episode...

EDIT: August 5th...see what happens when you think you are a week ahead?

 

[Dragonblade146]

Nice.
That one was pretty funny.
I laughed so hard at the image of the wedding.
Lol

 

[Darzok]

It was good but i was hoping it would fair better since i plan to buy this game.

 

[phoenixbeast]

Loved it...Totally agree with the last point...If its supposed to be like Guerrilla warfare, they totally messed that up...

 

[04whim]

I enjoyed it, but did anyone else feel it was a bit short? or perhaps it's just sleep deprivation sending me nuts

actually I think it is just the sleep deprivation.

 

[Albino Ninja]

another excellent video.

 

[Spore]

good as always

 

[sunami88]

It's not playing for me either, and I disabled Ad-Block (eventhough I write my own filter list, and it was working fine last week...).

 

[RebelRising]

That was a pretty good ZP; he really likes Saints Row 2 apparently.

 

[Erana]

That was one of the best ZPs I've seen in a long time...
Of course, I think it is partly due to the nostalgia of the game-that-crushes-gaming-childhood-bliss that all jaded gamers of this day have all experienced.

Or perhaps its more that it was like he was really having a heartfelt talk with the viewers? I don't know, but I still feel the obligation to kick him in the shin, should I ever meet him in person.

 

[MonkeySlayer]

I dunno if I'm just getting used to Yahtzee's voice, and whether I keep drifting in and out, but that seemed really short, even if the timebar says 4 mins...

 

[Andaxay]

Hmm, every single thing I've heard about this game so far seems to focus on being able to destroy many, many big things. My only opinion on this game is "meh". Nice wedding dress, though.

 

[Zetona]

I cant get it to play so I dont know if he makes mention of it but I believe this is his 100th video with The Escapist.

If you are running an ad blocker, that is probably it. Also, this is the 99th episode...next week what will happen?!?!?!??!?!

Nothing good will happen or he'll review a game he actually likes. Maybe the new old Monkey Island game.

...or you guys will hype it up. I don't know which I dread the most.

 

[farmerboy219]

less gurrila and more chimpanzee!! HAHAAH man this is why i look forward to this every week

 

[Stabby Joe]

Now will people stop asking him to review it!?

Now I'm wondering what the next game in the ZP demand box will be?

As for the game itself, it is very fun, blowing up nearly everything in sight is a very good way to blow off steam. Sure its hard later but of course you also need challenge.

Also I don't get the complaints the world is bland... ITS MARS! It was like one ecosystem, maybe two if theories on it's water are true lol!

 

[rated pg]

Decent review, but the game wasn't given as much credit it deserves since it's probably the best game to come out this year thusfar. It's incredibly cathartic and, lack of terrain destruction and occasionally wonky physics, nearly limitless.

And did Yahtzee seriously complain that he couldn't kill civilians (aka the guys you're fighting to free) without consequence? Except Prototype, name me one game you can.

 

[Entropy_kC]

The classic guerilla pun makes a return to a ZP video!

Also, I laughed hard at the Dalec (sp?) and wedding pictures.

But yeah, RF1 was rubbish, I liked RF2, but I don't think I'll take part in this one... I mean, I love stealth games, but this one doesn't sound like it is very stealthy, even though it should be...
