Zero Punctuation: Red Faction Guerrilla

[Whitefeather]

That has to be the funniest bit I've seen to date
"No it fuckin' hadn't, Red Faction: Guerilla, now get out of my way so I can break all of your stuff!"

Is it me or is Yahtzee's rant style getting slower?

Nah, its just with practice, you've tuned yourself to his speed.
Hmm, poo that explodes, could be useful.

Awsome referance to an obscure David Bowie song at the end there Yahtzee.

Also very nice to see you did this, given the advertising they did on the Escapist (even going so far as to have a badge) it's nice to see that they still let you critique them in your own unique and wonderful style.

David Bowie did a song called "Green Spiders From Mars". I thought Yahtzee's last text comment about wanting to for mars, but hearing about all the giant spiders up there, was a lot funnier than the Gueriella/Chimpanzee pun. But I guess it's a bit too dated, you sort of had to be listening to David Bowie's music about the time he played "The Goblin King" in Labyrinth.

Hmmm, well as I've said twice now I thought it was a referance to a David Bowie song. BUT then again part of the point is that it can refer to a number of things hence why he keeps hearing about them.

Still, given that I do remember when David Bowie was popular, but was too old to see much of "Biker Mice From Mars" it probably explains why I would think of Dave before more recent referances.

I feel old.

...yet, apparently, not old enough.

You do know what Bowie did before the Labyrinth era, right? No, before that. No, after that. 1972-ish. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Not "green" (for which Google turns up nothing), not a song per se, and...not really obscure.

Ya know I had complete forgot this was supposed to be a guerilla style game 'til Yahtzee mentioned it.

Is this video not working for anyone else?
Its just a circle in the upper left thats rotating.

Anyone have any idea how to get it to play? I really want to watch this.

I'm not entirely sure if my ears were working correctly but it sounded like Yahtzee actually reviewed this game! In his own way of course. I'm not sure if he was getting some stick or something but have the last few ZP's been a bit more 'content' filled? I mean to me they seem more like theyre telling you something about the game rather than just filling 3 minutes with hilarious sideswipes at the game in question (Sims3 excepted of course), like earlier ZP's used to be. I was starting to get bored of ZP a couple of months ago but the last few have rekindled my passion =)

That was pretty good. There's something about Yahtzee's style that comes off well when denouncing insufficient context for going nuts in a virtual environment.

i hear what you say about them spiders from Mars. That Ziggy Stardust character is the most dangerous of the lot
then there's those damn giant mice that ride motorcycles

that's the song i was referring to: Ziggy Stadust and the Spiders from Mars, and then as i was writing that, i remembered that messed show, and decided to throw that in for lulz

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...

Perhaps it's because they're getting boring.
Yahtzee is losing his spark.

My brother said the same things about what the buildings were made of.

 

[headshotcatcher]

I dont know whether it's just me but that wedding picture and fedora guy with norse looks just really cracked me up.

Best review in a while in my opinion

I'm surprise he didn't rip in his freakishly thick coat.

 

[Dunn159]

Ive been waiting for this review.

Loved it - Keep them coming Yahtzee!

 

[Ceefax]

Was a good one Yahtzee, as most of em are!



Quick question, how are those first three posts worth putting the users on probabtion for? I don't get it.

Is it me or is Yahtzee's rant style getting slower?

Yes. It's also now possible to tell what he's saying so I'd say it's an improvement overall.

I'm posting this after reading 4 other posts and I'm never going to read anything anyone might say in response, this is just drunken venting - I loved the original RF (though ironically i never got to finish it) and I would have thought from the majority of the game I played Yahtzee would have loved it (original gameplay, imerssive begining, story plays out during gameplay without interuption, etc) and I really like RFG b/c it is mostly about wanton destruction - and I got the impression (having never been a guerilla fighter) that this IS like guerilla warfare in that they geared it towards you having to hit and run - it is annoying that legions of guards show up from every direction and you can't carry much ammo, but that makes it so you have to get in and out quickly and you can't just storm the enemy's main fortress like all the other games Yahtzee complains about for being too macho

Hilarious if I say so myself.

I think it was the timing. This topic has problems with people just posting as soon as the topic has opened without watching the video, which destroys the whole point of this discussion.

 

[Mad Maniac with axe-firing chainsaw]

I haven't played this game but that felt the most like a proper review for a while now. Yahtzee was pretty much on form this time. I thought this was one of Yahtzee's finer moments.

I might well go out and get this game, sounds like its up my street.
