The Darkness Demo (Fullyramblomatic review)

[ThatNickGuy28]

I wonder if Belgium ever conceded to Yahtzee's reign?

Also, I'm REALLY curious if Yahtzee will reference this in the inevitable Darkness II review. It's kinda like coming full circle for him.

[caalexander08]

This was hysterical, if somewhat unhelpful.

[MirMarksman]

...I love how this little "experimental film" launched his career through the roof. It's actually a little humbling to see the power of the Internet.

[Charmcaser1]

i hope he reviews the darkness 2

[paulsky1]

good old yahtzee just found the first few vids =D so this is where it started ^_^

[pandakilla777]

Fuck u we all no ps3 has awesome controls and we all no Xbox 360sucks

[Thiefcopy]

@pandakilla777

I suggest you look up the word "subjective".

[skatinghippo366]

its a shame yahtzee didn't try the full game I'd say he might have actually enjoyed it :(

hopefully he tries the second one when it comes out

[bossfight1]

Within the next month The Darkness 2 will release, and I am getting front row seats for Yahtzee's review.

[CakeEater1001]

annnnnnnnnnnd beulgim



[sergeantpepper42]

I just got this game and I'm loving it. It's not always clear where to go and you move slowly but after getting used to it I'm enjoying it.

[waylander37]

This will never catch on.

[1bigfatpaulie]

Sulfurr01 ok :P

[Landwhale456]

I don't know why he wants Belgium, but he makes it awesome.

[Sulfurr01]

Zero Punctuation marathon anyone? :D

[Lightning4119]

0:39 Oh dear. It's Tommy Wiseau.

[iainmacdonaldTV]

0:00 – THE SAGA BEGINS.....

[addidy94]

The Darkness: now with belgium :D

[TheFlammableGas]

@godlike30000000 FANBOY ALERT! IN THE CLOSET HOMOSEXUAL FANBOY ALERT!

[kojm168]

well ahem cake...

[F3tcher]

$5 in Canada.

[1234dontcare]

Wow... Was yahtzee doing this review from a closet while hiding from people? He's so damned quiet and restrained.... haha

[helloimtom100]

fuckin awsome right form the get go

[UnumCinereum]

And so it begins...

[PowerArmorV113]

I came here after reading a MLP fic about gaming.......that was the first time I died.

[darkpheonix005]

And so yahtzee's career began, with a demo of a game that really gives you no direction as to where you're supposed to go, like a linear game that wanted to be a sandbox game.

[JamesSkuzz]

I like how you walked into an invisible wall.

[godlike30000000]

this guy can go fuck him self the darkness is a great game

[LegionOfDuros]

@godlike30000000 You sir, do not understand his style.

i've played many games he reviews and loved them, and i also enjoyed his reviews.

So keep calm and get some sense of humor

[darkpheonix005]

@godlike30000000 The darkness was an... ok game. I beat it, but the story, while over all good, just stops at the end. Luckily, the creators of the game are fixing that by giving you the end of the story, which you can buy as soon as they figure out when they want to let you have it.

[PowerArmorV113]

@godlike30000000 You must be new here, which is funny, as he's now a famous internet celeb!

[Arachi123]

@godlike30000000

As a Yahtzee lover I will try to have some class and not insult you:

Yahtzee is not a game reviewer, He is a critic. although he makes the games sound bad, they really aren't. He is supposed to show every flaw in the game. It is not that they are bad games. It is that it his job not to review a game. But to be a critic, he doesn't show all the game. he shows the flaws.

Of course if you like people yelling at you cause it helps you feel good after your alcoholic dad:

FUCK YOU!

[dabuddhaman8908]

@godlike30000000 I dont know the game or have any intrest, but have respect for other peoples opinions and hes a critic so in the words of my super god of awsome piss of you misrable fucking twat.

[IndridCold3]

Lose Belgium, and you've got yourself a deal!

[hbunnyo]

It was actually a good game. Sure there were some flaws but I had more fun playing this game than many other games I had up until that point.  Halo 3 was shit. Saints Row was good, yeah, but this was really really enjoyable.

[Knifegash]

Yeah, I would watch several more videos of this, but don't you think this format will get tiring after a while?

[AwesomeSauce1000]

@Knifegash And then 4 years later.....

[angadmishr]

@Knifegash nope, not at all.

[LhynnBlue]

@Knifegash yeah, hes been doing it for a while now and it gets even better.

[BLACKSTREETART]

I hope you review the darkness 2

[FenixAustralia]

and Belgium...

[Haukthefurry]

@aliencraig *critic

[josh18230]

Yahtzee first video. This is LEGEND.

[higatez]

The cake is a lie

[CCrockyourass]

You know, when The Darkness 2 comes out and he reviews it, he'll probably have a huge retrospective on how he started doing videos to go along with that.

[IxHADOUKENxI]

Ladies and Gentlemen you have just witnessed the birth of a Legend...

[ara9ond]

You're always on the money, Yahtzee, awesome review. You'll beat this industry into bl00dy shape, yet!

And thanks for the link to the Polyphonic Spree song. I'd never heard of them, and I likey.

( See, record companies, copyright infringement WORKS! Now if you'd just force iTunes to make the f---ing thing available here in Oz, then I'd MAKE the transaction complete! [facepalm] )

[CobaltZeroni]

@SuperTimod Methinks you missed the point of it.

[ashka5551]

the only thing i hated about the darkness was that there was no map!!! i was walking around for a hour trying to find where i had to go next and i kept on geting hit by the same damn train that wasn't even surpost to be there at the time

[TokuRoxta]

Liquorice Twizzlers! xD

[xW31RD0x]

BOTHER this NONSENSE!

[GodRustang]

QQ MORE PLOX!

[UnbiddenChaos]

your problem was playing it on a ps3

[DontFarkWithHoboZ]

@UnbiddenChaos If i get a message from this im prob not gonna respond FUCK OFF YOU STUPID FANBOY TROLL. Have a nice day

[DannyFox06]

@UnbiddenChaos The XBOX360 version didn't fare much better, as Yahtzee said, the game wouldn't be so clunky if it were on the PC.

[gillri]

@DannyFox06 no they would be floatly and disengaging

[UnbiddenChaos]

I love the darkness. I still do and cant wait for the second one. Even so this video still made me laugh my ass off

[WatchdogGoon]

Mmm, Belgium

[mysterykcad]

And so it began...

[Beat0Geek]

Wow. Brilliant video. For once it was a poor review that didn't make me feel like shit. Hilarious video, keep it up good sir.

[MenVsWomenBattle]

@Beat0Geek exactly! :)

[hrjert1]

i did all of this

[MultiJMAN911]

lay off him! he didn't get far enough in the game to truly appreciate it!

[PSNChrree]

Oh god this guy had no idea what he was doing...

[hotelmario510]

OH SHUT UP WILL YOU. He's SUPPOSED to be cynical. That's the whole point of Zero Punctuation. Go jerk off over "The Darkness" somewhere else.

[Agora2021]

I loved the Darkness. Fuck you.

[88Meters]

It is definitely a great game, but I do agree that the beginning of the game is boring as shit.

[OpalStoneNegative]

I like the game as i'm playing it but i agree with all of the things you say and have only goten as far as i have by suffering such frustration. I never use darklings.

[DahPurpleHippo]

See, your using the playstation controller. Thats the main problem. Also, theres an amazing thing right here on youtube called a walkthrough

[gominireo]

@DahPurpleHippo i'm assuming you've never heard of zero punctuation... this was uploaded 4 years ago and he could've long since cared about beating something like the darkness... especially a demo

[BRUTALBERT64]

Shut up! The darkness was awesome! >:(

[philosophizer149]

BOTHER THIS NONSENSE!!!

[braves745]

And some cake....and Belgium

[HunterMordor]

This guy is fucking hilarious!

[TheCluelessXbox]

Wow.You good sir can NOT give credit where it is obviously due.Best game ever.Terrible opinion.

[xxMrFablexx]

@TheCluelessXbox How can someone's opinion be a terrible one? It can disagree with you, but it's not terrible. And no, it's not the best game ever, as that'd be impossible to make because everyone has different tastes and... well opinions.

[TheCluelessXbox]

@xxMrFablexx True...true.

[peanutninjas]

@xxMrFablexx Someones opinion can be a terrible one. The holocaust was a good thing for an example is a terrible opinion.

[xxMrFablexx]

@peanutninjas Yes, of course, but we're talking about a video game, not friken genocide. Two completely different things.

[peanutninjas]

@xxMrFablexx You never said opinion on a game, you said opinions.

[xxMrFablexx]

@peanutninjas Fair enough.

[JoshDoVids]

Nice job of calling the awesome game shot then you put some shitty music to the video

[poniesinashed]

Maybe you're supposed to lift the gate?

[VideoGameMaster2011]

the only way id buy this is if it was twenty bucks with beyond good and evil and cake( the cake is a lie) .......and belgium

[ApetureTestSubject]

I finished the demo. It was nothing to do with the ability to pick stuff up.

[gbthrilla]

first game i bought on ps3

[TheEvilCouncill]

This is funny but the game was good, how in the hell can you be that bad at it.

[ravercorum20]

Because-talking-real-fast-give­s-off-a-notion-of-superior-int­ellect-and-deep-analytic-thoug­h-processing.

Sorry but no, worthless opinion is worthless.

[tdogmc1]

i cant wait until the darkness 2 review

[JoshDoVids]

Hold on take a breath there don't choke on us jesus

[DizastrousChezzraa34]

Beautiful Dark Twisted Story .. Shootin - Headshot = Kill = Win .. Demons/Minions/Arms - Full Of Attitude & Can Be Funny As Fuck .. 9-12 Hours .. Brought it again couple of weeks ago and yet again loved every minute .. and tbh cant remember ever bein stuck .. my suggestion is grow a Brain Cell and Try Again .. Amazin Game

[BloodJunkie11]

well its a good thing some of us aren't retarded and can figure out simple things like opening a gate.

[RiderRohans]

ah come on...the darkness was not a bad piece of game. I´m really excited for Darkness 2.

[emogirl8009]

hmmm..this guy is pretty lame....BOOOOO! GO DIE! and stop with the fake unknown accent :D

[morgathing]

@emogirl8009 he's British. 

[juantofer]

"Snake in the Boot" "Haunted Dog" New hard rock band

[jnthn1984]

Also, if you listen to the dialog, Jackie is so sluggish in the car chase because he just woke up after a head injury. You’d be a little slow too for the first couple minutes.

[Neoredboyzero]

@jnthn1984 you actually expect Yahtzee to listen to the game dialogue?

[jnthn1984]

You throw things by releasing the button, idiot. 

[abbadeen]

Thumbs up if this was the first Yahtzee video you ever saw, EVER.

[upublic]

@abbadeen ya not many :)

[Coolkillerbear]

This game was a fun rent back in 2007.

I would never pay 60 bucks for it but for a few days I found it to be a great game.

[Icky34]

Fan-dabby-fabulous.

[Scelestus3]

And herein greatness was born. =3

[Warkst]

Fuck yeah Belgium!

[ben10fan1999]

tum te tum XD

[Darkpup15]

Wow he was so quiet now i don't know which yahtzee i prefer im a fan either way though

[KertariWhitpaw]

I have the game, and have only managed to play threw it once. I am an Avid fan of the Comic, and while they have a second game now in the works, I'm still sorely disappointed in the game's "great story telling" and "Top-notch presentation". Really, the final boss battle was just some big cinematically pathetic attempt at an end-game.

[Videogamestwin]

I would buy Belgium too.

[nate009gmail]

LMAO

[p6mkq]

Personal breakdown service XD

[BrandyLand101]

Yahtzee likes Beyond Good and Evil too... this pleases me immensely.

[FenrirAlucard]

This is why you talk to people xD That hobo would have told you to disable the electric box on the other side of the gate xD

[abcdefh1992]

@DaggleC Thank god you asked him to make more.

[TheTimstudios]

Belgium rules



[LegoManStudios11]

this is awesome game and you are stupid fucking bitch

[1227CGanimated]

@LegoManStudios11 he meant the demo and the games beginning. I Like this game too but he only played the demo according to this review, but probably played the full version  by now. so that was just being unnecessary.

[NASCAR4ever11]

and belguim...with some waffles

[albertjester]

bother this nonsense.

[chronicfc2]

Well... I'd say this was a fairly successful experiment

[RandomMajin]

LOL Bother this nonsense

[Bhargos]

I think Belgium would ruin it for me. :\

[1KingZant]

And some cake.

...and Belgium.

[LightVSDarkness64]

I'm not suprised the first joke he said was about jerking off in front of a bunch of children.

[darkfafi]

lol you need to play and not walk around like shit (yes its a puzzle game too) i love this vid i,m gonna put it to favorite

[premier6666]

The game it's actually pretty great though, once you get past the very specific actions you have to perform in order to proceed.

Ripping someone's heart out with your tentacles is quite fun.

[templarknight456]

how is this not on g4 these reviews are ten times as better than listening to a man losing his hair and a square face chick who doesnt know what the hell they are talking about while reading a prompter

[HikariNoKuraiKumo]

Everyone would buy it if it came with free cake, so I wouldn't buy it because I'd be unable to because it would be out of stock.

[Pellefantman]

Love the ending! xD

[JoeyRavnYT]

Why is Yahtzee speaking so slowly? :(

(I know why, it's a rhetorical question. Duh.)

[TheL0rd0fSl0th]

Awesome review, but the hobo you killed? He was supposed to tell you how to get past the gate. Irony I guess.

[Videogamestwin]

The Darkness is the first Xbox 360 game i've ever played. IT ROCKS !!!!!

By the way Yahtzee, i FREAKIN' love your reviews. Your one of the funniest persons on the internet.

[jpheitman]

They'd have to drop the price even further if they were going to throw Belgium in....

[sanedem]

Cmon, Yahtzee loves games. Why would he take the time to play em if he didnt? It's just that one can't mindlessly drift through games like saturday morning cartoons because of their flashy colors. And when you pick out all the shitty bits of shrapnel and hair covered lollipop fragments in a game. the sexy bits shine. And who doesn't wanna gaze at pure sex for 14-100 hours?

[FullMetalAlcohol]

@sanedem He gets payed for doing it. He doesn't even get to choose his own games - the Escapist buy them for him.

[sanedem]

@FullMetalAlcohol Im pretty sure he had to care up to a certain point to even be hired up for tha task. I mean. he was on a short series about video games >.>

[private420]

Darkness FTW his reviews are always super funny but I can't say I respect them hehe

[FullMetalAlcohol]

Does this guy like any game?

[andytenmenthefirst]

@FullMetalAlcohol portal :P

[FilipC124]

1:44 first time the imp appears in zero punctuation

[abbadeen]

if this is the 1st Yahtzee video you ever watched, you damn well like this :P

[FlingleBingle]

I just pointed my Desert Eagle and handcannon towards the gate,pressed X(or Square for your PS3 controller) and literally said,"BITCH,MOVE DAT CAR" and the Berserker proceeded to jump over the wall,move the car,and bite two people's faces off.Grinder's Lane pissed me off,and here's why...

Me:ooh hey a shotgun!hum de dum...(opens a door)

three random guys:HOLY SHIT DARKNESS SHOOT HIM!

Me:what wha-(dead)

Creepy voice:LIFE AND DEATH ARE ONE...

Me:STFU

[Andoeriz]

I would buy Two Guys Fucking: The Game, if it came with a country.

[LITTLE666GOATWHORE]

I actually had no idea you could get the imp to move the car. I just did as the imp did and used the tombstone to jump over the wall ha

[BLACKSTREETART]

This game is not for the weak minded

[FionaatGuy]

You know, if you can't beat a game which doesn't include an arrow pointing at your target, you shouldn't be playing games like this.

[Cledous1990]

lol just tryed the game.. he is rigth it takes a little time to find around in the game, mucth hardes wen you enter the citty (and dont bother to look fore street names and in the game meny were it tells you were to go like me) neads a minnimap ore zoom wen you find the map. but still good game ^^

[Yorpie]

2:56 its Belgium! I can see my house :D not so far from Bruges.

Anyway, at the point where you said that you took the beserker to push the car away from the gate, its at the wrong side lol

[LoveaaSharaau179]

Do you have any idea how useful a personal breakdown service could be?  ESPECIALLY in this economy?

[smashinglollipops]

i liked the darkness...

[honkyjesuseternal]

You're* the dumbest thing ever.

[honkyjesuseternal]

This is the dumbest thing ever.

[RavageScorpion]

@honkyjesuseternal Your the dumbest thing ever.

[MrMedic8]

You do know, there are walkthroughs, right?

[Wurgebloarf]

Belgium is great.

[redback3]

The "Liquorice Twizzlers" part had me in tears

[Haroun2k]

I couldn't be bothered with the Darkness to even finish the intro. Glad I missed nothing.

[TheWalrusface]

@Haroun2k I couldn't even be bothered to finish this comm

[honkyjesuseternal]

Worst thing on the Internet ever.

[99sharare]

@honkyjesuseternal then why are u watching it? twat!!

[dragonforks93]

@honkyjesuseternal most pointless comment on the internet ever.

[eldospinks]

@honkyjesuseternal No, that would be you.

[neroxtreme1380]

"Fuck this shit" made me lose it. I fucking lolled.

[lancedance2]

The review that started it all.

[NearVSMello]

You were suppose to shoot out a light, and then use the slithery darkness thingy to bite off a grate where you then slither through a ventilation shaft and make your way behind the dude behind the gate with the key. You slaughter this guy and then use the slithery thing to grab the key, then retract the demon and then voala.

[unscenegamers]

Belgium? wel that was un-astounding.

[kyon813]

You go, Yahtzee! You go!

[bogartnumbertwo]

...and Belgium.

[soroh0062255]

@bogartnumbertwo

the best country in the world !!! who wouldn't want to have it XD

[athomicritics]

@bogartnumbertwo belgium is a awesome country but have fuckedup politic

[DrakUchiha]

lol......why not use your one power to pick up the gate?

[zymphor]

Noob.

[zymphor]

Noob.

[DrakUchiha]

i play most of the games he does this with, but i dont care i find it entertaining

[andyfmiranda]

you just dont know how to play dont talk about that game like that noob
