Zero Punctuation: Red Dead Redemption

[dtothelu]

The Lost and Damned wasn't that bad. They were able to hold on to their bikes a lot better than Niko.

[lifediesyoung]

my horse is stuck in a wall!

[mooganify]

Purple Monkey Dishwasher? Someone has been watching the Simpsons.

[sybban]

I have never hated a game more. Especially due to the fact that every company gave it 10/10. Obviously we were not playing the same game. I wrote a scathing review on gamespot but it was removed because gamespot is full of twats who will suck the dick of any big name company.

[tacomaster141]

Not gonna lie this game sucked ass. Story was the only thing that made this rentable.

[laughsquad007]

I love how the waiting masses of morons who watch this asshole review games demand that he can't enjoy any game, and call every single game a pile of shit.

[killthemallism]

he wrote a book and you can preorder it from amazon and amazon.co.uk

[etocadet]

@killthemallism wrong it's a novel, and before you defend yourself what would yahtzee say

[killthemallism]

@etocadet yahtzee would probaly say "just buy the 'NOVEL'"

[etocadet]

@killthemallism ha ha i give you that one lol

[killthemallism]

@etocadet very well i accept

[winchester1886]

@hanfgamer and @Deijo181 ,He's British living in Australia

[bossfight1]

One of the highlights of the game for me was during one of the last missions, in which you go hunting wolves with John's son Jack. When we chased the last of the pack down and started gunning em down I shot two of them, but then stopped to let Jack kill the other two, after which I felt a sense of fatherly pride.

[GreenDayCoFBmtH]

2:40 so fucking true

[hanfgamer]

3:19 "Und natürlich" lol is he german?

[Deijo181]

@hanfgamer he´s australian i think...

[Schnittertm1]

@Deijo181 Nope, he is british, but living in australia.

[DarkRikdyou123]

Well there's a zombie dlc..... That could be the dead bit ;P

[TheAssclown34]

Almost cried at blue poo atonement.

[jimbob3332]

I was so overprotective of the horse Bonnie McFarlane gave me that I did hardly any sandbox stuff out of fear the gift horse would become a meal for some predator or bullet magnet for bandits.

[waltdisney19282008]

i used to be an outlaw, then you broke my kneecap

[CnC1945]

.... So if he criticized it so much why did he say it was amazing in the end? BTW I love the game a LOT!

[navyjames87]

@CnC1945 really? i dont know what to say to you... other than you must be a moron. please inform your keeper that you are on the internet unsupervised.

[Subject6551]

I find it funny how you said "He's not green, and he's not dead." Because they came out with downloadable content where in the end, you actually end up making John Marston a Zombie.

[cattacer]

@Subject6551 He actually said "He isnt dead, and the game is most certainly not red"

[jamzilla960]

@Subject6551 (ahem) he said not red.

[jmar4life]

you can break horse you can break kneecaps lol i love this review

[DomSezXL]

"Your horse gets stuck in a wall." PMSL! This is fucknig awesome!

[zhazha23]

15 people appear to have their horses stuck in a wall.

[zhazha23]

@CaitiVoltaire

[gargmel]

i love it :(

[garlicthethird]

is there anyone who doesn't like this game much less hates it?

[GreysonMacAllister]

@TellingEllie he didn't say that he didn't like it, he was pointing out glaringly OBVIOUS flaws. And if you were ACTUALLY a fan, then you'd understand that he always uses hyperbola and tomfoolery to exacerbate the truth, and why did you post the same thing THREE times?

[333hab]

It's basically a follow up (not so much as a sequel) from Red Dead Revolver, a game on the xbox original that was FREAKING AMAZING

[Chewychucky]

@333hab Still play that on the ps2, it's epic

[TheMinorWinger]

@TellingEllie He is supposed to critisize it and point out all the flaws not say what he liked.

[TellingEllie]

Lol, there is a reason this game got GAME OF THE YEAR (look it up on Google). I love your vids, but the negativity of every video gets quite annoying. This was an amazing game and I'm sure others will agree. No game is perfect, but it is great at what it does and the Multiplayer as well as the single player story was amazing.Also, there are no pigs that you can hunt, unless you mean "BOARS"!!

[CaitiVoltaire]

@TellingEllie I'm not sure why you feel you have to defend games like these when other people don't like them unless you're some sort of incredibly insecure person who must be validated by everything they interact with, which I suppose is par for the course in today's coddling world with it's sense of entitlement.

[Ygdrasel]

@CaitiVoltaire

Agreed.

I absolutely love this game. And a few others Yahtzee isn't a big fan of. That being said, I really couldn't give a fuck if others disagree. One of the reasons I feel the compulsive need to verbally mutilate anyone who posts a "[x] people are assholes" or other stupid insecure shit about the dislike bar. I need no one else's approval because, honestly, who the fuck are they? I am my own validation. And it's high time others followed suit. Damn coddled parasites.

[Ygdrasel]

@CaitiVoltaire

Though it helps that Yahtzee is basically myself plus the charisma to be a critic. Dry humor, sarcasm, a great sense of irony, witty, a touch smug, and cynical as all hell. If only I had charisma...

Then again, I'm also the kind of guy that starved Sims to death in closets...But that was out of sheer fucking boredom so I can't be blamed. XD

[superburnout280]

14 people are peta memebers

[cally2011]

Busy playing this at the moment.... Won't lie... I can't get the sound of hoof gallop out of my head

[Banzay27]

Red Dead 'cause most of the indians are already dead and/or gone, hence why you mostly only get to fight other cowboys and whatnot. Occasionally, mexicans. In a DLC, anyway. I think.

[sanguinaryheart]

After playing the game a little I assume the title comes from how the screen goes red when you're hurt & about to die...? Or that you have to kill people in order to redeem yourself, therefore your victims are very "red" & very dead? *shrug* I'm one of those people who loves exploring the beautiful sandbox scenery & messing around. Fun time waster that hooks me in so I want to see what happens next.

Plus, come on, shooting birds out of the sky is ridiculously fun.

[ProkoLokor]

@sanguinaryheart Well, naming this game Red Dead Something was pretty weird as I have NOTHING to do with last Red Dead game. It could have been named Back to the Future III-2 and it would make as much sense.

[TheLAGx24]

Purple monkey dishwasher

[num1tman117]

it sounds like he did not play the game or online

[Bloodyidit]

he called it beautiful, so i buyed it.

i became happy.

grammer i no know.

[mjpalmer3000]

purple monkey dishwasher!

[Glaswalker1001]

german at 3:19! fick ja!

[ks610]

green spleen submarine 

[Ramzees0100]

its because of red dead revolver, i liked the game but its older, so thats whhy they call it red dead

[rockinsparzy105]

@Ramzees0100

Oh. My assumption was that it was called Red Dead because it's based in the west. I mean the mountains of the west look sort of a reddish color, like Utah, and the west is usually depicted as being a baron wasteland.

[matthewjakeallinson]

Steven Segal?

[TheCheesyShorts]

everything he said was kinda true. the walking can be handled if you use controllers a certain way, but most people expect exact controls and become turned off when the walking feels different than theyre used to.

[RustyKnightX]

Holy shit. I have had none of the problems he complained about. They must've sent him a shitty copy on purpose.

[FectX]

dont forget the horse lady

[coolguy701]

horse hide is 3 dollars why bother?

[LMGunslinger]

it actually is a pretty bitchen game. definitively a must buy.

[HighrockTendales]

So so right about the money/ guns/ no point in doing anything. I want to risk my ass hunting bears but then have a better gun than the guy who hunts beavers.

[littleski5]

wait a minute... YOU ENJOYED THE SAILING IN WINDWAKER?!?!

[thinklikeageek97]

YES! YOU MENTIONED YOUR FUCKKING NOVEL!

[ThisIsMyReflection]

If I wrote a song, it'd be called Purple Monkey Dishwashers.

[jallious2]

Green Spleen Submarine....holy crap.

[KelseyWolf]

I will admit although I never had to deal with bugs during my game play I did find out the hard way that the mountain lions exist and that they're pricks

[ladykillerrr]

I really like Yahtzee's review style, but I feel like a lot of his points on various games are either him being nitpicky, or just bad at games in general. Either way though, ignoring that he calls really, really good games bad -- he's funny as hell.

[fr3eman1]

@ladykillerrr Yes. Exactly. He will find more bad points in a game than good, but that's still he's opinion. And he is funny. :)

[Buretsu]

@ladykillerrr You can roughly gauge how much Yahtzee likes a particular game by the ratio of nitpicking to actually tearing the game apart.

[okiesnakeps]

purple monkey dishwasher!!!

[TheMasterDiasaster]

Ahh, no crossdressing.

[SeanBrannigan]

if this was as bad as yahtzee made it out 2 b then it wouldn't have won so many game of the year awards

[hill506]

PURPLE MOKEY DISHWASHER!

You like the ocean in Wind Waker!!!? Yahtzee you are my hero!!!

[HeLpErNaThAn]

i am addicted to your reviews !

[jdude123454321]

@DJACE102 PURPLE MONKEY DISHWASHER

[VirtualGStorm]

@DJACE102 Yeah I was like WOOO My favorite color!

[Shad0wz101]

Seriously why do you even play games? Your such a whining little pussy hole

[Sigefreadthebulmunk]

@Shad0wz101 He is a critic, he points out the flaws in games, that's his job. If he sucked off every game presented to him he would be a whore, or game spot employee

[Shad0wz101]

@Sigefreadthebulmunk There's a fine line between being a critic and finding a flaw in every game he plays

[Sigefreadthebulmunk]

@Shad0wz101 I think you have a misconception about the difference between a review and a critique. To criticize means to find things that something can improve on. Easiest way to do that is to point out the flaws. It really is his job to find things wrong with games and then make these videos on them. Even the games he really likes he gets nit picky on because that is what the escapist pays him for.

[Shad0wz101]

@Sigefreadthebulmunk I still think he could have focused a little more on the positives of the game

[iamnuff1992]

@Shad0wz101

sure he could. but thats not what ZP DOES.

if he has more than 3 good words to say about a game then its BOUND to be great.

check out his review of batman arkam asylum some time.

he even admitted that he liked that game. but he still insulted and picked it apart because thats his job.



[Shad0wz101]

@iamnuff1992 Yeah I've seen his batman arkham asylum review and I actually really enjoyed

[FireButts15]

Rockstar bent over yet again after yhatzee complains that the character isnt dead.

[OswaldtheFourth]

Are you serious? I really, really liked this game... as did everyone else.. .ever

[ktrum492]

@OswaldtheFourth So did he. It was in his Top 5 of 2010. And yes, it is an awesome game. :-)

[MoltenFlameDragon]

Honestly many of his points are nitpicking, the riding can be skipped by fast traveling, the dialogue between travel is great, and the money is useful to get weapons earlier and buy outfits, horses and safehouses. The glitches have been fixed pretty much (never ran into anything with my PS3, sadface) and it's a masterpiece.

[Ironbat92]

I'm still trying to understand how he put it on his top 5 of 2010? Sounded like typical Yahtzee review where he nitpicks the game to death.

[CrescentGuard]

Simple explanation of the title argument: Red Dead Redemption is, technically--and I use that term loosely--a successor to a much older game, Red Dead Revolver. Problem is, the only relation they have to each other is the Dead Eye mechanic. Other than that, they're about as similar to each other as Cowboys and Aliens is to Star Wars or Lord of the Rings.

[bundleization]

grand theft horse lol

[PLaris89]

glitches and bugs aside, I thought it was a brilliant game with a suprisingly emotional ending

[BeastofRock3]

we all live in a green spleen submarine!!

(sigh) I can't sing

[0x28]

"Flicker in an out of a parallel universe where men have merged with horses". ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFL

[0x28]

"My horse appears to be lodged in a waaaall." LMFAO

[zackzack0815]

what's the song in the beginning called?

[excaliburOneX]

This was my first Zero Punctuation review back when it was released. The second I heard "Grand Theft Horse 4", I laughed my ass off. I tip my hat to you, Yahtzee

[Closurenomore]

I never ran into the glitchy horses in RDR. I guess I got lucky

[randomxboxgriefing]

something want too make you shoot the dog.....duck hunt?

does i gets cookie?

[scream4thehellofit]

Okay okay I have to breathe after knifey finger xD FUCKING LOL XD

[LucidEyes17]

I think his actual last name is Cowell

[deathmaster48]

if you want something dangerous to run into on a horse play the multiplayer with me i will pop out of nowhere holding a lit stick of tnt

[TheK12314]

I still loved RDR, just because I could shoot someone, steal their wallet, skin their horse, and leave the violated corpses and a skinned meat pile of a horse sitting on the road, and sell the pieces of the horse for more money. As you can see, I am fucked up in the head.

[MEGAS8591]

@TheK12314 i really did not like the game...however that part was always fun...although it always bothered me that when i tried to steal from the bank more sheriffs and deputies than the population of the town would show up to shoot my balls off.

i also liked calling my own horse, killing it, skinning it, collecting its meat, (repeat cycle) and then selling its parts for money

[OswaldtheFourth]

@TheK12314 Oh my god. I got jumped trying to help out a stranded stagecoach and my horse ended up being shot to death. I blew out all of their legs, tied each of them up, blew out the woman's skull with my sawedoff shotgun (this was the first time I used it) in front of her two friends then stabbed the other lady to death. I finally blew up the entire coach and the two remaining men with a molotov. I then blew out their horses' brains. They all despawned before I could return with dynamite, tho.

[TheK12314]

@OswaldtheFourth

FUCKING AWESOME. I love how Rockstar lets us be as sadistic as possible.

[nroland99]

@TheK12314 no, your just north american

[theinfamouswalnut]

@TheK12314 Nope, your just playing the game the right way! :D

[jackedsamurai772]

@TheK12314 Yahtzee loved it too, he called it one of the best games of 2010.

[mewtwo711]

@TheK12314 Welcome to the internet, where this is commonplace!

[RyleyAshford]

@TheK12314 No, you're human. It's the pussies without the stomach for that kind of activity that are fucked up. IT'S THEIR FAULT FOR FALLING BEHIND IN THEIR NATURE.

[Gale858]

@TheLastPalme grammar are not that complicated.
