Zero Punctuation: Velvet Assassin

[bodyklok]

Oh man that line at the end was hilarous, it's nice to see a reture to form and some real origionality again.

 

[ClockworkAngel]

*laughs* The bit of animation at the end during the credits I found especially funny.

Mr. Yahtzee,are you sure it's Hitman Blood Money and it's not Hitman Contracts the game you compared this one to? I'm no big Hitman fan, but i can guarantee you that Hitman Contracts' story is told from a perspective similar to Velvet Assassin and not Blood Money... my 2 cents.

I think Yahtzee actually wanted to reference to "Hitman: Contracts" instead of "Blood Money" when he mentioned the whole "mission flashbacks while lying on the death bed" scenario. I know that Hitman is lying inside a casket in Blood Money, but I don't see the game as a series of flashbacks.

Actually Blood Money was about Flashbacks, thats why the dates were getting more recent, the man in the wheelchair was discussing 47's assinations with that guy from the press thus Flashbacks

Makes sense. I take that back, though I still think "Contracts"'s storyline structure is more similar to "Velvet Assassin" rather than "Blood Money"

valkyria chronicles is nothing to be compared with velvet assassin.

yes, because Yahtzee was clearly comparing the gameplay of the two.

As somebody from austria I have to say that the last joke was almost too offensive. Awesome but still....

Odd that Yahtzee is reviewing so many WW2 games right around the time I'm studying for my WW2 test in World History at school. That last line was pretty funny, though.

 

[whaleswiththumbs]

lmao girtty enough to park your driveway on.

Hey yahtzee i think the message is that nazi were evil, but the soldiers didn't want to die. Which doesn't explain kamikazes, ltet me change it then. i think the message is that nazi were evil, but the soldiers didn't want to die, except for the Japanese.

EDIT, ythe hel1 does every other person get banned for watching the video then wuickly replying, if it's because of the speed of it, maybe you should bann all of them who post early, instead of which ever one farts and looks at you funny(hope all of you got that)

 

[akmarksman]

Funny stuff. Great ending re: Community Service.

 

[L4Y Duke]

Sounds like the Morphine feature is yet another in a long line of "WTF?" gameplay mechanics.

 

[GoblinOnFire]

Old Ben has returned! This smells of victory, I tell ya!
Funny and cruel AND politically uncorrect at the same time. What's not to love?

I promised myself I wouldn't post here, because of the 140 posts before me. I didn't read them, I just figured they'd all be "w00t first!" "w00t second!" "w00t 140th!" ya know

Then I convinced myself that they'd all be banned and posted anyway.

I genuinely laughed out loud at the end joke about the "community service".

Ahh I was just going to say that! I laughed out loud and scared my dog.

Nice, I had a similar effect on my cat, poor thing jumped a foot in the air (maybe a slight exaggeration but you get the idea). It was very, very funny - both the joke and the cat.

From now on, thou shalt be known as Yahtzee the Artsy Nazi!

This game sounds like NOLF...

It was a joke. It was funny as hell. I generally laugh about stuff like that.

 

[Droids_Rule]

The community service joke had me seriously laughing out loud. Excellent review, errr... criticism.

Highlight of my week to watch these!
