Quake made that stuff long before.
But if they were copying valve they would release the game in episodes one every 5 years or so. Also have some female soulless characters pissing in your ear for most of the game like they were your wife.
OH and totally pointless copy pasted physic puzzels and a million explosive barrels everywhere.
Anyways ravenholm was probably the most fun in half-life 2. Maybe because the hag that followed you went her own way. And you met the reverend that was actually not a whiney kid of a character.
Jumping puzzles were alot more interresting if they actually had to have something.

Great video. Definately up there with the spoof Duke Nukken, Wolftensitin and Minecraft reviews as some of his best works.
Wait, Gordon Freeman had a beard, Yahzee has a beard... Give us Gordon, Yahzee!
(I hope someone hasn't already made that joke...)

Yahtzee probably would have liked the first Resistance as well. It also had kind of a Half-Lifey feel to it.
Haven't been around to watch one of these in ages...but at least I laughed a bit watching this. xD
As for IG "copying" Valve...I didn't know that kind of stuff was "copyrighted" to Valve? Sure it's similar but that doesn't mean it can't be used again.
It's at least good to know they moved away from R2's "borrowing" of the two weapon, regenerating health thing but at least the regenerating health thing made sense in game. Going back to the original is MUCH better than keeping that. To be honest though, Yahtzee (dunno if you actually are reading these still since it's kinda late for my update haha), Ratchet and Clank had the same things that are in Resistance, gameplay wise...maybe the story was "borrowed from" a BIT but as for the multiple weapons, aliens, and health packs (of sorts), they were in Insomniac Games "previous" series as well. So if anything they used their OWN ideas for how the gameplay works at least.
If you're going to go back and play one of the games in the series, play the original Resistance, and just wikipedia plot stuff for Resistance 2...just not as fun as the rest xD

By God, does the Escapist have hipsters.Sudenak said:
Resistance 3 is not a rip-off of Half-Life 2 and you should stop copying down everything Yahtzee says into your personal Bible as the undeniable truth. Have you played the game? The kin-aesthetics of the game are much different: the game feels different. Like how there's something that you can't put your hand on that makes Doom 3 feel/play differently from Doom 2...even if you did speed it up by 1.5 times, it still just doesn't play the same.
Also if you want an FPS that doesn't require you to suck your thumb in a corner go play Serious Sam 3. That game is what modern arcade-y shooters should be: full arcade-y and fast-paced, not some "wavering in the middle, don't know if I want to be realistic or not" bullcrap like the Modern Warfare series.
And if you actually think Heretic and Hexen aren't skins of Doom...
Oh yeah? Well, Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, if you change the letters around, becomes "A Brazen, Chewy Ethos"!
