Zero Punctuation: Resistance 3

[KarlMonster]

Oi!!! Wait a tic!!!

Yahtzee has *played* Metro 2033?
Funny, I don't see a Metro 2033 review anywhere. You've been holding out on us! Bad Yahtzee!

and CAPCHA: set-dancing tingclea

As in; a Metro 2033 review would give me a special feeling in my set-dancing tingcleas.

Now I just have to remember to use that phrase in conjunction with "Twing Twang".

Why is truth stranger than fiction? Fiction has to make sense!

Haha! First review in a while which has made me laugh like that.
Excellent video Yahtzee.

As for the game itself, well, doesn't look too bad. Medipacks/non-regenerating health and having more than the current standard of 2 or 3 weapon slots carries a certain amount of weight for me, so now I just need to do a bit more research on how good the game actually is, and I may get it. ^_^

One of the best ZP episodes of late, keep it up

 

[Nomanslander]

Ooooohh! The Margret Thatcher experience, I'm not even British but that will still make me want to hurl...XP

 

[WilliamRLBaker]

And still Resistance 2 was the only good game in the series.

 

[Smurf McSmurfington]

Yahtzee's gonna love seeing another Saint's Row, I hope.

If you're saying that in all seriousness, then you... probably don't know him well enough.

 

[Vault Citizen]

Did the story of Resistance 3 give any indication that the series was starting to reach a conclusion? We've had three console games with a portable title and another on the way so it seems like we should be at least close to being in the proximity of perhaps being near the finale by now.

Judging by this review, Yahtzee might like Resistance 1. (He should probably skip 2, though.) It had semi-regenerating health and a weapon wheel. Insomniac brought health packs and the weapon wheel back because few people liked R2's completely regenerating health and two weapon slots.

 

[General BrEeZy]

hah, kudos to you guys who understood what he meant when he mentioned zyklon-B! xD

 

[hgtrf]

Humans COMBINED with aliens you say? Why, that almost sounds like a CHIMERA from greek mythology!

 

[Siege_TF]

Best review in a while. The ultimate irony for me;
I laughes so hard at the end I almost threw up in my mouth.

 

[BrotherRool]

Wow a good review. I'm shocked. Just to let you know, none of the previous Resistances had 2 gun limits or completely regenerating health either. And the guns have always been creative. I think they steal it from the games they've always made

You didn't play R2 did you? It had complete regen health and the 2 weapon limit.

Ah okay, yeah I played R1 and assumed they'd make the second like that, particularly if the third was the same. Thanks for the correction

 

[NKnight]

Unique. Good to see ol' Yatzee geting out of the "play, hate, spend most of the time complaining about story (even if there is hardly one), make joke and end" formula.

 

[pepitko]

Great review, the game looks fun. Finally a first person shooter with med-kits and unlimited weaponry at your disposal. I'll be very likely to pick up a copy once I'm done with my gaming backlog.

 

[Ironbat92]

Wow, Yahtzee likes the game.

 

[Geisterkarle]

This gag was already old five years ago, but I have to do it:

"We are Half-Life!
Resistance is futile!"

 

[UNHchabo]

I didn't read through the whole thread, but did anyone else notice that this week's intro has a higher framerate than normal, and the entire video seems to be higher quality?

(or maybe The Escapist accidentally gave all of us the PubClub video, in which case, I hope I don't ruin it for everyone)

 

[Mykin]

Erm, Yahtzee, are you alright? I'm not complaining or anything but it seems like you snapped when Resistance 3 gave you everything you ever wanted in a shooter...Is this a bad time to tell you where they buried Half life 3?

 

[FallenMessiah88]

Nice to see that Yahtzee has found a game that he likes, even it does borrow rather heavily from Half Life 2. Must be really depressing to hate every new game you play. :-/
