Zero Punctuation: Ride to Hell: Retribution

Okay, Yahtzee, you sold me on this one. Too bad I have a massive backlog of games to get through, but as long as the price is right, I'll give this a spin.
How could one make an inferior copy of this game of all things? I mean only thing I could think of is a bluray disc holding a 16KB picture of biker that was drawn by a 3 year old...actually that sounds better than the game already. XDKargathia said:
OT: I remember the owner of Game Anyone put up a bounty for someone to do this game, and now I see why he put up that bounty in the first place. Poor xXKurantXx...>.>
The only couple of Let's Players I like are SupaGoGoMan and Lilly Psatou, as well as Chip and Ironicus. Generally speaking I don't like LP duos because they tend to just guffaw at each other and nitpick at obvious stuff, but those guys are quiet and level-headed enough for me.Casual Shinji said:
I'm kind of surprised he reviewed this one, seeing how it was no secret just how terrible it was.
It seems like it had the Darkest of Days thing going on. Not a bad concept, but terrible execution. Except in this case, the terrible, terrible, terrible execution eclipsed the idea.

You think that was bad? I wanted to slap him in the face and tell him "What the hell are you doing, Pat? That first tool upgrade is RIGHT THERE!!! To your right! TO YOUR RIGHT!!!" when in Bill's gear-up basement.anthony87 said:
Also, you can turn that whole playthrough into a drinking game everytime Pat says "Ooh!"
'sokay Yahtzee my man. We all make mistakes.
Anyway, I'm half tempted to get this game when it goes down in price (and it will go down in price) just to experience it first hand. I've seen some gameplay(?) of it and I'm currently wondering if this game could be the next Big Rig.
Still, their loudness is mostly them hamming it up for the Machinima page. Their independent let's plays on Thesw1tcher are MUCH calmer.

Yikes, don't let the TBF fanbase hear you say that... or worse... Matt himself. He tends to get pretty butthurt pretty often if his YT comments are any indication.Johnny Novgorod said:

I know Yahtzee was joking but seeing videos of this game being played and loving bad movies like I do, I seriously would try and get playings of terrible games like that in theaters while in costume.
Clearly, my summer is broken if I think that's a good idea but I'm already making the necessary calls.

The POOR HEDGEHOG - how can you, Mr. "Heartless" Croshaw!!!!
The "Plan 9 from Outer Space of Videogames", just great, for that I can totally say: WE NEED!!!

Oh, goodie, it's on Steam, too. So now hundreds of goons can buy this as gag gifts for each other, like they did for Bad Rats.
I gotta say, if it weren't for Steam Greenlight, it might be quite profitable to purposely make a terrible game and then find some established Let's Player to "promote" it on the Something Awful forums, and then wait for the next big Steam sale. This game can still get away with it because it came out of the AAA industry and thus has a free pass.

This doesn't sound so much like a Plan 9 from Outer Space (Yahtzee's idea, that is. The game is at the same schlock level.) but more like a Rocky Horror Picture Show idea. Everyone should buy this crap and make it game of the year. Really fuck with the marketing branch.
Actually, there is a pretty well made (though still in progress) Let's Play of Superman 64 by ProtonJon. You can check it out here:Shjade said:

Back on topic, yeah, the game is a special breed of so bad it's good. Youtube is gonna have a field day with this one.
Oh Yahtzee you know we can't stay mad at you even when you rip of stuff we like. Especially when you rip of stuff you'd have to be blind to like.
And my work has it as the "Game of the week" for about 3 weeks now. I keep hearing advertisements and chuckling.
I'll admit I never heard of this game, but upon googling and watching YouTube of it's gameplay I wish I hadn't. This looks like something that could have released on the PS2. It seems there was an idea behind this game, but whatever it was got lost somewhere along with the story and plot. They never recovered either of them so continued to make the game. What's left is very bland and ugly to look at.
He's in Australia, so he can't. They get pretty much the same treatment as Europe when it comes to Atlus. Maybe worse.klaynexas3 said:
OT: Just watched some gameplay. It's... it's beautiful...
