Zero Punctuation: Resistance 3

[Owlslayer]

Wow, i really enjoyed this episode. Seems like an interesting game, too bad it isn't on the PC. I think.
Anyways, this was quite humorous, well done.

Like Yahtzee said, if you're going to rip off anyone, it might as well be Valve. I like those guys too. Team Fortress 2 (take a shot) is pretty damn good, and Portal was perfect. Portal 2 slightely less so, but still damn good.

So at the very least, Resistance 3 gets points with me for taking cues from a good developer instead of just copying the same cover-based shooters over and over.

Watch, the next FPS he reviews will be right back to cover-based. And then we get to do the whole malarky over again. Huzzah.

Damn. Had my hopes up that a game was finally pushing ahead with nice game mechanics, only to learn that it's basically ripping off HL2. Hopefully it's just a massive coincidence and we'll once more see an FPS that doesn't require you to suck your thumb in a corner.

Until then, I'll cling to my Heretic and Hexen and gaze longingly at next-gen graphics.

It's not ripping off Half Life at all, it's not even closely related. Just yahtzee exagerating for comedy's sake.

 

[RepeatAfterMe]

It's somewhat disappointing he didn't play resistance 2. It really pieced the game together as what it is now.I even could have seen him admiring the multiplayer (At least co-op) and its initiative to create a balanced, 60 man game.

 

[Pyramid Head]

Wait, you can use biological warfare and make the enemies fatally ill and it ripped off a good game instead of fucking Halo?!

Thanks Yahtzee. Thanks a fucking hell of a lot. Now i really regret not having a PS3. I wonder if any PS3 owner would be stupid enough to trade his console in exchange for my 360 and my Halo titles. Not like i'm ever going to play Halo 3 again, and i replaced Halo Wars with Tom Clancy's EndWar a while back.

Awww.... Yahtzee has a warm side.

This is the Yahtzee's best review. I laughed, it made me want to play the game, it pointed out on flaws, but didn't make them "the end of the world" flaws.

 

[Tharwen]

I'm way too tired to concentrate right now, so after watching that I find myself giggling uncontrollably.

Now I'm off to watch Feed Dump. It was nice knowing all of you.

 

[Buizel91]

Also, the whole anagram thing with Combines and Insomniac is a little far-fetched...

Sorry, sorry. Here I am, I came back for you. You don't recognize me, but apparently I flew over your head. I am, The Joke.

Best reply ever...you sir had me in stitches! xD

OT: Wow...I'm stunned, Yahtzee actually seemed like he enjoyed making the review! not seen this since the Orange Box...

Next week...Gears will kill the mood...I'm guessing.

Resistance 3

This week, Zero Punctuation reviews Resistance 3 with a hint of deja vu.

Watch Video

(predicts quite a bit of condescension in response to this post)

Hell, I'm gonna have to check this one out. I'm a new PS3 owner and I haven't yet played any shooters for it (besides Borderlands, the COD games and the first Rainbow Six Vegas). Most of the shooters I've played since the PS2/Gamecube/X-Box Uno era have seemed stiff and stale to me. A return to med packs and multiple weapons sounds promising (of course it will be boring when everyone starts doing it again).

 

[CardinalPiggles]

Funniest episode in a loooong while.

Keep pushing the boat!

 

[Pinkros]

Don't be silly, Yahtzee, Insomniac isn't COMPLETELY ripping off Valve. They can count to three, for one.

+1 internets for you, sir! I actually laughed at that one.

 

[mrhateful]

Watched this review 3 times now made me laugh each and every time :> More of this Yahtzee ^^

 

[Draconalis]

Clearly, beards are the greatest thing for a male character to have!.

*Strokes his mighty beard* Concurred!

 

[cookyy2k]

Almost had me these, was sounding amazing right up until he mentioned it was copying the most overrated game ever. A game that I pushed through telling myself it will get better but it never did.

 

[antipunt]

This review reminded me of why I started watching this series in the first place

 

[MrDumpkins]

This was the best episode I've watched in a long time, bravo yahtzee! It was Hillarious!

 

[Genixma]

"What did you do with the rest of the body Insomiac!?!" Oh God...I miss episodes like this he actually has a great one liner.

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

Great review, this was one of my favorites. Sounds like a decent game too, maybe I'll end up trying it.

 

[DiabloBub666]

The multiplayer beta... apparently didn't offer a fair representation of the single-player experience. What a surprise!

It is currently 12:07AM here in Dublin. I've had a long day of college and work but I stayed up to check what I missed. This was a great decision because it meant that I got to see my favorite episode of Zero Punctuation yet. The last spoken line had me in stitches.
