Zero Punctuation: Red Faction Guerrilla

[WolfThomas]

Its a wonder he didn't mention how communistic it feels some time. "Use your hammer of the proletariat and smash the overlord's bourgeoisie housing!"

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

What? You don't think that Guerrilla fighters rip off their shirts and sprint towards the enemy as soon as they see one, Rambo style in real life? It's all good, though: If you get hurt, just chill behind a wall for a few seconds and you'll be as good as new!

In the original Russian version, there's a mission where you have to escort Stalin to the Mars colony to lead the revolution after he returns to earth for a second time, Jesus style.

well im not reading through eight pages to find out if its already been disscussed but who got the Spiders from Mars reference in the little text after the credits?

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.

I thought it was a bit short but maybe when your only positive reason to get outta bed ona wednesday is "OMFG NEW ZP TODAY YESSS!!" then all his new vid's seem a bit short lol

eitherway short or not loved it, love 'em all, Yahtzee will forever remain the king


Side note: Is is just me or does it seem you can go on any give ZP thread and theres always at lest 2 or 3 people getting banned/suspened/warnings?

I think it was mainly the last crack, with the chimpanzee warfare, it just made the end feel a bit abrupt :/ though I do agree, ZP is the highlight of my average Wednesday, and a 4-5 minute video is a bit, not sure how to put it, but you get what Im saying and yes, always the first 3 posts are along the lines of "first" and banned. though in fairness my post was just that primitive part of my brain wanting first page, but I tried to at least put something relevant

lol yeh it's natural instinct to want something on the first page...the common "rock star" gene that makes humans thrive for people to pay attention to what they have to say and when half of the people who read boards read the first few comments and then leave well it makes you want to be one of those "first few"
but yeh i understand to have quality he needs time but how awsome would it be if his revewis were daily? I know its almost impossible but still i'd be awsome.
and yeh all the people who say "first" get banned but half the ones i go on there are always like 3 or 4 people banned for flamming and being negative about yahtzee or insulting people. it's like there are a bunch of sparks and yahtzee's reveiws (intentionaly or not) seems to drop gasoline all over them lol

Yahtzee is definatly picking more on the Bowie Humour; the "neutral" joke in the last one with Bowie's face and the least bit concerning spiders from Mars Someone's discovering classic music :]

Oh yeah, and the review was pretty great as well - I felt the same about the first Red Faction :[

In the Red Faction games, do you happen to play on the side of socialist forces? That's what I've read...

You happen to play on the side of a "Red Faction" whose symbol is deliberately close to the old hammer and scythe and whose stated aim is to free themselves from the (imperialist) yoke of the (capitalist) Earth oppressors.
So it's not technically about socialism, but it's deliberately working off the modern pop culture understanding of socialist revolution, probably because players 'get it' a lot quicker than if you had a Green Faction. Sometimes I dislike the parallels and it feels eery when every single non-EDF Martian colonist is secretly a member of the Red Faction. I'm not even joking. If you take a car the driver will say something like "Hurry Mason, I'll hold the EDF off." And any civilian might draw a previously invisible gun from their backs if you trip the 'wanted level' of the game.
So it's not socialist but it uses socialist trappings to get people on the same page - and to be a bit edgy.

That's alright. I'm a communist, so it's all good to me.

Ouch ouch ouch RF1 was a good game despite the random corridors that went down hill fast

...like halo(H2/RF2 watered down for noobs and had lulzy weapons like poorly done dual wielding, H3/RF3 is just a crappy lulz fest that's more fun online where they seemed to have bothered to develop it more...).

Yahtzee your becoming more mediocre shill by the month!

 

[the hap]

I actually liked the first 2 red faction games. This one sucks though. It's a blatant rip off of the Saints Row games.

 

[Wolcik]

Another great Zero Punctuation
Back to being a dick in games that wants you to be a hero As for the plot it sounds like this game doesn't have much to offer Oo

 

[Typecast]

I wish someone had made Guerrilla warfare game. Crysis engine seems wasted without one If you combine the stealth and murder aspects of the first Riddick game(on it's first release) and then put that into the Crysis engine, I'd think that would be a satisfactory Guerrilla game. If it had a plot and you were a young counter-revolutionary/paramilitary/drug runner is South America somewhere, killing Federales with nothing more than cheap cigars and a tomohawk, I might even be impressed. But if you wore a red bandana it would be lame, because what kind of idiot intends stealth and dresses inappropriately. Oh wait, Far Cry 1.

Again, Guerrilla warfare is about quick, tactical strikes, such as ambushes and raids. Stealth is not a major aspect of this. RF Guerrilla IS a guerrilla warfare game. Look up the definition if you disagree.

Cool episode and btw where can i find the obama image on 3:19, its awesome.

Though I was hoping to find a hi-res version in here.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. You can't rip off your own games.

Exactly. It's just lazy.

I'll have Yahtzee know that Red Faction 1 was totally cool and if he's so stupid as to play an FPS on a console then he only got himself to blame for hating it.

 

[nathan-dts]

Call me a freak but I rather liked the first Red Faction.

Your not a freak. The original Red Faction games were great and much better than geurrilla.

Well, FPSes only suck on Playstations. Wait, everything sucks on those. Anyways, I just beat the main story and I rather liked it. Sure, I went homicidaly insane a few times

Spoiler

like on Mount Vogel (Yes, named after the A-Hole Dane from Saints Row 2)

, but it was fun.

Ahhh vogel the guy I killed and teabagged.....nice.....

If you ask me Saints Row 2 is better then Gurrila........its just more fun..........also I returned this game back after I completed it because it was soo long......but fun while it lasted, the reson I dont like this game is because

1. Gets boring after completing the game.....
2. Its just destruction....it does not focus on anything else
3. Story was ok
4. Characters were boring.....
5. Multiplayer is bad......its like SR2 (The only part I didnt like about SR2 was the multiplayer)

Does anyone have/can anyone get a screenshot of Yahtzee in the wedding dress at 3:56? I'd like it, please...
