Maybe he didn't predict the COD game.. maybe the devs just saw this video and thought it sounded like a good idea.
You do realize they were working on it for 3 years
Just Another Cheetah
>CoD game
>"working on it for 3 years"
You mean 3 months, right?
Just Another Cheetah AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
No but serously what kind of hacks does it take to make that crap in three years
+Neenjah Rammus Let me know when you played it, then I'll listen.
+Neenjah Rammus Either Way, Yatzee was right. But why would a Giant like Activision need to use ideas from a critic...nvm my mind just shot itself thinking about it...
"I speak no hyperbole when I say that releasing every box with no disc inside would be less of a mistake." Gets me every time.
Funny how this is exactly what Bethesda did with fallout 76 and still screwed up
Amazing how close to the actual plot of Advanced Warfare Yahtzee got.
I was just thinking that, did the whole *nervous cough and shift of gaze*
Woah
I thought ot wasvthe Metal Gear series that invented some wacky story about a virus that kills people of specific ethnicity
Holy Fuck! He Perfectly predicted the plot of COD Advanced Warfare a year before its release and 6 months before it's teasers at E3.
I just noticed that as well hahaha
Link where he predicted it
In this review. Listen to his Cod Ghosts part.
If he could only predict what the next Assassin Creed's plot could be.
Derpy guy generic "hero" runs through beautiful city, climbs and jumps buildings and fight far too easy battles with a non-existent fighting system?
basically, *ALL "ASSASSIN'S CREED" GAMES HAVE BEEN THE VERY SAME FROM THE FIRST TITLE ON!*
they are all equally lame and if it hadn't been for the naval battles in "AC III" and "Black Flag", those games would have been dead to me.
"Unity" is about the biggest pile of failure Ubisoft ever released.
it's a shame to actually sell this shit - the bigger disgrace though, is that there are idiots who still buy and even like this trash!
"Fnarr"
"Right back at fnarr"
I love this show.
"A game where we can stop all terrorism in the world by releasing a deadly virus that targets only people who arent 1/3 white and 1/4 bald eagle"
Well MGSV ALMOST did that.
Except it did nothing like it. The virus had nothing to do with stopping terrorism, it was spreaded as an act of terrorism.
CakeIS based
It was a virus that attacked people who spoke certain languages, I'm not saying they are exactly the same, but they are similar.
Nah
+Deathlord126 Fuck you deathlord you dont even know who Zelda is! Let alone Solid Boss!!!1
+Eric Shin MGS 4 < MGS 3
5:11 Oh shit! Exactly that happens in CoD AW, with this gene-targeting virus bullshit
[edited]
True that mate. Literally was just rewatching and noticed that.
+Robert L Wasnt that also a major plot device in the metal gear series?
+Battleballs Well, somewhat right. Just replace the 3/4 white 1/4 bald eagle bit with 3/4 human and 1/4 Nazi lamprey
Bioshock Infinite was a beautifully rendered game set in a vibrant, imaginative world...or so I have been told. I wouldn't know. I spent the whole game staring at the floor and the baseboards scavenging for f*cking coins.
I was spending the game disgusted by the linear gameplay, shallow storytelling, and simple plot.
The only thing I found to be interesting was the setting (Racist Disneyland: USA Conservative Heaven) and even that was boring as everyone wouldn't stop shooting or I wasn't allowed to look around.
Proctor Conley SIMPLE PLOT?! I must be very fucking dumb cuz that game is goddamn confusing
Bruce Wayne
It can be simple and confusing at the same time. It's an easy trick. All you have to do is not make sense.
That said, up until the end, I didn't mind the story too much (I watched an LP, but didn't play it because I don't really like shooters). I would agree with Proctor Conley that the setting is ultimately more appealing than the story though.
Proctor Conley Let's compare it to The Last of Us (which is even more overrated). TLoU has linear design and gameplay as well, the shallow storytelling of "survive in a world were everyone is an asshole", simple plot and a reused setting and story. So about the same level as Bioshock, except the characters and setting in Bioshock didn't want to make me blow my brains out so TLoU takes the cake as the most overrated game of last year
In all actuality, both games were my favorite of the year. I just had some major disappointments with a lot of the game changes in Bioshock Infinite. And I do not think that BI is overrated, but more over hyped. I loved the story and the characters. However, I hated the fact that they turned Bioshock into a straight forward shooter. I did not like TLoU in the beginning. I was going to return it once I realized that there was very little tension due to the fact that there are no consequences to dying. However, once Joel and Ellie hit the road, I was totally hooked.
"Yes. You fucking pricks."
One of the funniest ZP moments ever.
Don't have an xbox one but want to simulate the fun of having one? Get your laptop/computer and fill it with Norton security and then try accessing anything.
Norton is actually a ton of fun. I installed it by accident (forgot to uncheck all the optional software from another installation) and figured I'd let it scan for viruses... Yeah... my Windows didn't boot again, had to reinstall. 11/10 would pay to see the developer swallow acid.
Y'know. I almost want a sequel to Ride to Hell. Just to laugh at the shitstorm in videogame media it'll cause.
Ride to Hell DLC would be even better.
Ortheos
NO>they are actually going to make 3 more....with or without the money.
Ride to Hell: Total Abhorrence Edition. Includes less textures, more buggy animation, and the last third of the game has just been removed entirely.
Yessss.
I would feast on the rant videos posted, the lulz reaped would be glorious. Because that's all Ride to Hell should be seen as. Not a game, but a joke.
***** Wouldn't removing parts of the game only improve it?
This video is how I got to know and love Adam, Bruce, and James. Their play-through of Ride to Hell still cracks me up.

Must say I was surprised by Revegeance making the list. Then again, carving your enemies up how you want to is a lot of fun....wow that sounds horrible.
Same reaction about his Top 5.
Putting this out there for convenience.
*Best 5:*
5: Metal gear rising
4: Assassins creed black flag
3: Saints row 4
2: Papers please
1: Bioshock Infinite
*Worst 5:*
5: Star trek
4: *correction* Simcity
3: Aliens Colonial marines
2: Beyond two souls
1: Cod ghosts
TA: Ride to hell Retribution
Why did you leave out the game that was actually mentioned in the 4th worst?
4 was actually more pointed towards Sim City
4 was Sim City
*corrected*
Thank you for this. The entire video I had no idea which ones were good and which ones were bad. He sounded negative toward all of them.
.....2014.
COD brings a bom that only targets specific people.
Holy shit, r u a wizard
bryant suiskens At least Advanced Warfare has the ostensible bad guy drop the Genocide Bomb, rather than it being something the "heroes" do that you're supposed to cheer for like what Yahtzee imagined. The Call of Duty franchise hasn't sunk that low yet.
A weapon that only targets certain people...
DIDN'T THEY DO THAT IN AW WITH KEVIN SPACY RELEASING THAT POISONOUS THING?!
YOUR A WIZARD YAHTZEE
you miss-spelt bomb
that annoys me
Moustache gun yea, its "bom" in my language. thanks for correction
I like that people disliked Bioshock Infinite. I for one am obsessed with it but if everyone liked it, than no developer would try something different. I wasn't a fan of Spec Ops the Line but the story was fascinating, and The Last of Us couldn't grab me but I could easily see the attraction. It's that kind of variety that makes the gaming medium so unique. From story filled works of art, to Nintendo's fun for the sake of it; there is a game for everyone. Oh and Double Dash will always be the best racing game...
HOLY FUCKING SHIT how do you remember your username??
I have a guy who does it for me. He's expensive.
I can remember the entire username just by reading it once :3
@@jordanw5163 its been five years. are you still a massive virgin?
Lol
And, 9 years on, and Ride to Hell has yet to be unseated from its throne. One for the history books that one!
"It alienated its own aliens, ironically" lol
Impressed neither Hunt Down the Freeman nor Fallout 76 caught the Total Aborrhence award for 2018...
I'd say based on gameplay time, my top game of 2013 was Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. But my personal favorite game this year was Pikmin 3, aside from the fact it's been 10 very long years since the last one I found it to be really fun.
Ya, monster hunter 3 ultimate was a really addicting game for me
Nick_Nier47
I think I got around 250 hours out of it. XD
It's hilarious that even Black Flag seemed like too many Assassin's Creeds back then
Yahtzee thinks that a game worse than Ride to Hell won't come along until apes have retaken the Earth. Does anyone think we should tell him that Dawn of the Planet of the Apes comes out in just a few months?
i dont think thats a good idea
that movie actually looks pretty good ha
thanks for making these videos. you are the man.
I'm watching this like 3 years later and I totally forgot that Bioshock infinite came out in 2013 so when Yahtzee named it game of the year i vocally squeeled
I love how his comment about anti-terrorism gas was spot on... XD
2 examples of good ways to improve interactive storytelling: Bioshock Infinite and Papers Please
1 example of bad ways to try to make interactive storytelling: Beyond 2 Souls
The Stanley Parable didn't even get a mention? Though then again, I'm still in the process of plowing through all of these reviews and don't know if he's even reviewed it yet.
He didn't. But I wish he did.
that "game" definitely was a contender for "best game" in the year it got published!
then again, I am not 100% convinced that "The Stanley Parable" even is "a game".
I find it to be more of an interactive story than anything else!
in any way though, it is a very fun experience for as long as it lasts.
ZeGermanGamer Why so?
My personal top 5
1. Bioshock infinite
2. Papers Please
3. GTA V
4. Assassins Creed IV
5. Surgeon Simulator 2013
Dunno what that says about me but fuck it, I gotta say Bioshock infinite is the best game for first place.
*****
It's kinda like a fan-made version of Watch Dogs before Watch Dogs has even come out.
James Oldfield QWOP
That seems much more reasonable than the top 5 in the video, sadly...
Mythbuster It really is a small internet, good to see you here MB.
Managarmr420 you know that account is fake right
Hm, if I had to pick...
5. Rayman Legends (Smooth as butter)
4. MGR: Revengence (Cyborg ninja flipouts)
3. Pikmin 3 (It's f*ckin' Pikmin)
2. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (Immersive as all hell)
1. Wonderful 101 (Most original game I've played in years)
Honorable mentions include Mario 3D World, Towerfall, Injustice, Link Between Worlds, and Wolf Among Us.
Story wise, wolf among us should have been higher. Gameplay wise.... Well, you don't play for the gameplay anyway
8wrath8child8 Honestly, I didn't play Wolf Among Us entirely for the story. I'd already read Fables.
But damned if Telltale aren't the kings of story *presentation.*
I love your videos Yahtzee (not only because your opinion matches mine the most compared to other reviewers) because your videos doesn't drag on for an hour * looks at angry joe *, and you use comedy really well.
Was waiting for this video so badly
I'm just glad someone finally had the balls to depict the Call of Duty franchise for what it really is: a worse game year after year. Kudos for giving Ghosts exactly what it deserves.
Though CoD isn't all that good anymore, I still think its worth a trip to the Bay once a year... Unless they bring it down to $4.99 or something.
implying that's not popular opinion
i enjoy some the call of duty series because most of them are fun at times but ghost is just bad
well lets hope they can do what treyarch did and take a shitty cod (BO1) and make it 3x better in the sequel ( BO2) cuz we all know there's going to be a COD Ghosts 2...
PSyCHoHaMSTeRza
I've never seen a Call of Duty game for less than $20, even several years after release during a Steam Sale.
They're like pre-torn designer jeans.
So, in the end: "It would be better to smoke some crack instead of playing Knack"!
It is somewhat weird that there has been no mention of Stanley Parable on these videos.
I think he didn't get to review it, and he said in the beginning he only rates the ones he reviewed.
It's true, he never reviewed it. I wonder if he even played it. A shame if not.
vissenekku He wrote an article about it in his "Extra Punctuation" segment.
Found it www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/extra-punctuation/10695-Beyond-Two-Souls-vs-The-Stanley-Parable
Thanks, man!
He based one of his Dev Diary games on The Stanley Parable.
Like my fellow Alien fanboys, I had high hopes for Aliens: Colonial Marines. It's ABUNDANTLY clear that the people who wrote it had never paid attention to the film. Aliens was about mankind's overconfidence being our undoing; it was not about how "badass" the M41 Pulse Rifle is. The Xenomorph is an apex predator, evolved to survive at any cost; NOT a bag of acid that ignores "natural selection" as it blindly runs up to you in a wide open map. Thankfully, Alien Isolation held true to the franchise's roots. So our hopes and dreams weren't shattered like a Faberge egg in a pinball machine for the 3rd time in the past decade. *Glares at Alien vs Predator: Requiem with molten hatred*
Well at least Alien Isolation made up for the acid blood-filled mess of Colonial Marines by making the Xenomorph so terrifying that most of the game was spent crawling about in hopes of reaching the next save point. Or making it out alive.
New New Year's Resolution for 2014: Use the "Hamster in a Moebius Strip" metaphor in a conversation.
The ACIV part gets me every time. It's nice that the series is heading in a better direction.
Years later and they managed to fuck it up when more
Hold on to your butts, we're going on the "Bioshock Infinite is mediocre" hater adventure!
that EA part was gold.
lol yeah "..With the reliability of a gingerbread space station" Cracked me up xD
Great list, I seriously miss 2013 in terms of selection. Solid year for games.
Finally, someone who won't force GTA V on his list just because everyone else is doing it. Most expensive-to-make is not necessarily best
Is it impossible that it's genuinely a very good game because a lot of people like it? Smells like a fallacy
IOutDoSyndicate
It's not impossible at all. It's a good game. But a year is a very long time in gaming, many excellent games came out. GTA V's Game of The Year status on other sites were never about its quality. It's a popular game, and a lot of critics are too afraid of their audience to come out and say they think something else is better. Not Yahtzee
Fiktív Miki No, not Yahtzee, because he's too busy rating highly of games that are no more content than a satirical joke, shit references, and euphemisms. Looking at you, Saint's Row.
IOutDoSyndicate
You completely miss the point of his reviews, then. He rates games on not technical stuff like graphics, but by how much fun it is to play. Back then, everyone gave GTA IV 10/10 because it was well-crafted and had lots of stuff to do. Only Yahtzee pointed out that "...aand it has plenty of faults and is boring as hell." He rated Saints Row 2 better because it was a non-stop fun joyride. And time proved him right. If I had to pop in one of those two right now, I'd play the hell out of Saints Row 2 while my GTA IV collects dust.
Fiktív Miki To each their own, but I don't enjoy mindless fun. I've beaten GTA IV 6 times and couldn't imagine doing another playthrough in SR. Maybe because there's nothing to do. Maybe because the series isn't innovative. Maybe because the quality of the game and its content are on par with a one man indie developer. What would you do in SR2 that you couldn't do in GTAIV, or that GTAIV did worse?
ive been waiting for this one!
I like how Grand Theft Auto V shows up several times in the video, despite showing up on neither list.
I was not expecting you of all people to pick Bioshock as number 1 honestly. huh.
Same, not with it's terrible storyline, especially the ending. Plotholes here and there. Vigors doesn't make sense in the setting or why it's there, it's just..well there. But fuck it.
BioShock Infinite's story made sense.
And it wasn't generic.
I swear, people who say that it's generic and made no sense really had a negative mindset hopping into the game.
Have you seen a better companion AI? Elizabeth's abilities make up for your weaknesses, and she *Doesn't need to be protected in combat*
+SenecystRemarks Your comment begs for you to be directed to matthewmatosis's review of Bioshock Infinite.
Just paste this after the youtube dot com slash watch?v=VdNhwb7iuI4
I mean... unless you're insecure about your opinion on Bioshock Infinite...
It kind of made sense, but doesn't entirely adhere to certain ideas it presents. And the story isn't generic; the gameplay is, and much worse off for it. The story is just a disjointed mess of unconnected and unexplored "big ideas" that are incredibly impressive at first glance but deflate like fucking bouncy castles once you think about them for all of five minutes.
I will admit that Elizabeth was very well done both story and gameplay wise, although I wish she had a bit more of a presence in the combat than just giving you things (although not so much that she would need to be protected).
I disagree. Elizabeth was bad. Her character made no sense regarding the situation she was/is in. Why the hell is a girl that grew up in near-complete isolation bubbly and sociable? And her "gameplay" abilities consist of elements stripped from the players control to make her SEEM useful (lock picking, healing, scavenging, etc.)
+Alexander Freeman Elizabeth didn't grow all her life in isolation. She was moved to Monument Island after reaching puberty, that's when her powers grew too unstable. I swear, most braindead gamers such as yourself have the attention span of a potato.
Reading these comments, people really seem to hate a game just because other people like it more or because they like an another game more and bash against someone who doesn't.
"the reliability of a gingerbread space station" I have to steal that one from you xD
Metal Gear Rising at number 5? I sure didn't expect that.
Man, this vid is so hilarious! I like the way the Top 5 represents heaven and the Bottom 5 represents hell. So very funny. Especially when drifting away to sleep surrounded by kittens and money is so adorable. I love kittens and cats!
FINALLY!! I wanted this, like, forever.....
At first I didn't know what games were in his best list and which were in his worst list.
Then I started paying attention to the sound effects.
Apes re-taking the earth? But I thought we already had done that.
Every bad movie has a sequel.
FUCK YES!!! Thank you Yahtzee for putting Metal Gear Rising over The Last of Us. YES!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Why does that matter to you though?
@@aelechko tf kind of question is that?
Great choices! Apparently I've got some interests in common with Yatzee
Lol, the video was abruptly stopped by bad connection when the random guy said 'But what about THAT game?' Perfect timing.
Man, watching this video, I realized how fucking shit 2013 was for video games in general. Yes, there were a few good ones, like Yahtzee named. But there was so many more bad ones. And the thing is, you put Bioshock Infinite against games that are considered the best by Yahtzee generally, like Wind Waker, Portal, and Spec Ops The Line, and it pales in comparison. But the bad games were SO bad, it stands out.
***** Too true. 2015 doesn't seem like it's going to be much better.
PenguinHQ Especially with the bullshit that thr Star wars Battlefront is going to be
Nah, if you look at those games, Bioshock Infinite stands head and shoulders above the rest, ESPECIALLY Wind Waker. And I also have to decree that what with coming off an incredibly strong year for fighting games in 2013, an unbeliavable amount of artistic masterpieces being released both in the big budget and the indie side, and what with the console generation launching, 2013 was absolutely one of the greatest years in the history of video gaming.
Pálinkás Dávid I disagree with everything you said, but I respect your opinion.
Pálinkás Dávid How are you comparing Bioshock Infinite to Wind Waker...?
Also what makes Infinite better than other shooters like Bulletstorm, Wolfenstein The New Order or Shadow Warrior?
First youtuber that dosen't put GTA 5 in his list (that I know)
Wait that's a video game?
Nope just for humor
good, because it doesn't deserve a spot on top 5. To me it was just another generic big budget hollywood wannabe dudebro the movie the game crap.
+that's totally my personal opinion but i didn't like the characters and the city.
Bolek Lolek Something is really wrong with you.
I'm addicted to this..
We may have to revisit how awesome shaking hands with Kofi Annan would be.
We'll I am happy that Black Flag got on the good list. Good for you Ubisoft
The fact that bioshock infinite it Yahtzee's GOTY confuses me. It was a dumbed down version of the previous two games(two weapon limit which ruins the upgrade system, bullet sponge enemies, bad AI, etc), so I didn't think he'd rank it that high.
Dumbing down can work both ways. A lot of people didn't like not being able to carry an arsenal, but for met the two weapon limit was a lot less to manage, and didn't present Booker as some overwhelming force. But hey, that's just me.
The problem with the weapon limit is that it messes with the upgrade system, which is something you 100% NEED to use on the higher difficulty settings. You could spend all of your money on upgrading that pistol/shotgun/machine gun you like to use, but the game could suddenly switch to a sniper/rocket launcher segment, and you are now stuck with underpowered weapons since ammo for your other guns won't spawn in the area. On normal difficulty, this isn't an issue, but on 1999 difficulty(or whatever that mode is called, I forgot its name), it's unfair and rage inducing, since the difficulty settings just boosts/lower enemy health and the damage they deal to you.
legofreak18
Don't see how that's a problem. I did 1999 mode without using the vending machines for the achievement and it was pretty doable. I rolled through 1999 with a hand-cannon and shotgun combo lol. I don't get how people found it hard especially the last fight.... It was all in the gear(people underestimate this mechanic in the game), and the vigors I use I guess. Wintershield+OverKill+Storm was pretty awesome.
legofreak18 If only there was a vending machine where they sold ammo that would really help
the closing message of this video makes me worried, and it STILL made me giggle. What have you done to me, Zero Punctuation?
I love how he keeps referencing Kofi Annan like anyone knows who he is any more.
My Top 5:
1. Bioshock Infinite
2. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
3. Saints Row 4
4. Battlefield 4
5. Remember Me
Swap SR4 and BF4 wit GTA 5 and Papers Please and I'd somewhat agree. SR4 was awful imho, and too much like SR3 DLC, and BF4 is just like BF3 in a lot of aspects
Mythbuster Remember me is a mediocre game, but your opinion, dawg
I also haven't played a ton of games from this year, so those are out of games I finished.
Remember Me! Certainly will
I like how Yahtzee doesn't want to admit that he enjoys games. Then again, maybe he thought all these games were shit, and that the less shitty ones deserved to be on the top 5. Probably the latter.
>doesn't want to admit that he enjoys games
Half Life? Deus Ex? Silent Hill 2? SAINTS ROW 4!?
I said doesn't want to, not that he doesn't in general, otherwise half of this video wouldn't exist
I so do love these reviews
If I made a countdown list like this, I have my top 5 best games stand on increasingly tall blue columns, and my top 5 worst games on increasingly tall red columns.
remember when Yahtzee predicted the plot of Advanced Warfare?
No Man's Sky couldn't even take Ride To Hell's Throne.
Ride to Hell is just lucky Yahtzee didn't play Air Control (the Steam one, not the pretty decent iOS one)
erttheking No Man's Sky was mostly functional and more bland than bad. In Ride to Hell, literally nothing works.
Also, No Man's Sky's marketing was a bigger problem than anything in the game itself
erttheking that's because No Man's Sky had actual fun in it. At least for the first hour or two.
Now 7 years later i an surprised that Papers Pleasse wasin't Yahtzee's Game of The Year since to this day he still quote It and never Bioshock Infinite (that most people forgot)
Now I just want a gingerbread space station.
Between Hunt down the freeman on the indie end and anthem and Battlefront 2 on the massive publisher side rife with anti consumer bs, I think RTH:R was a frankly more innocent kind of bad game, one from a bygone era.
I agree on the majority of Yahtzee's choices here (although to my shame I haven't played Bioshock Infinite yet). Anyway, I rather think MGR would have have been somewhat higher on the good list because it is a really good game. Despite a few things that I won't spoil, I really thought the combat mechanics and story were very nice indeed. It's nice to see a proper single player game amid all the multiplayer titles where 9 year-olds suddenly grow a pair of balls for no apparent reason.
Love how people complain to complain. I want to see someone say, "AIR IS OVARRATEED OMZG METHANE IS COTY!!!!!2!!1!!1!2!2!" then end up getting methane poisoning. Perfect way to weed out the whiny.
Considering what he said about Simcity, I wonder what he would think of "Dungeon Keeper" [sic] mobile.
Am I going to maimed if I walk through this comment section and am willing to defend (to an extent) why I think Bioshock Infinite is a good game, or at least be able to say I really liked it?
+DaLatinKnight Maybe. Lots of people these days get so triggered.
+DaLatinKnight Well, the thing is that if you say it's good, you're not saying _you think_ it's good, you're saying it _is_ good, which some people wouldn't agree with. Now, if you say _you_ really liked it, that's your opinion and the worst thing someone can do is say you have a shit opinion, but then that's just their opinion and you can safely disregard it because it's not like you have a special type of disease that can only be cured through other people's acceptance... or do you?
+DaLatinKnight to be fair on it it doesn't look bad i mean i was skeptical about first person games in the past but i've been wrong before
"Cyborg Ninja Flipouts beat dirty depressed people getting their shit ruined"
Fair point, I don't see Joel flipping 50 feat over Zombies hacking them into nice giblets and I don't see the new Lara Croft being anything but boring.
i totally agree with yahtzee on that TA award being given to ride to hell: retribution
i've seen the gameplay, and i swore to myself that i will never touch the internal contents of that box, and to just mearly gaze upon it's case with false interest, and then ripping out it's hope by putting it back on the shelf at a store in the middle of nowhere
Yahtzee went no-mercy on Ride to Hell.
Not even fried by a jet engine, fried by a space shuttle booster rocket.
So, Guise of the Wolf came out recently, and I don't see our ape overlords. Was Yahtzee wrong?
also Day One Garry's Incident came out and there are no ape overlords so he must have been wrong
dkill34 He probably was, Pinkie Pie.
I don't think he reviewed either...
Guise of the wolf was not nearly as bad as Ride to hell.
dkill34 To me, Day One GI doesn't count. It was made by an indie studio, and considering an indie studio could be comprised of industry veterans or guys that just picked up programming, you can't really treat it the same way you would a AAA title.
In this case, DOGI was simply a game made by an incompetent studio. Ride to Hell was a horrible game made by a fairly competent (technically speaking, anyway) studio. Not only that, but one owned by a major publisher and given actually decent funding.
If we included every shit indie game that came out, the list would be buried with them.
It would be like trying to fill out a Razzie list with Direct-to-DVD titles.
metal gear rising revengeance is the only game here I could play over and over and over... and...over without getting bored
"I suspect next year will be a bottom 10 followed by a gunshot" 😂
I may be hipster about Bioshock Infinite. So I found Bioshock and loved it! No one heard of it soo I loved it even more, kinda like a hidden gem. When Bioshock infinite came out I felt like everyone just knew everything about Bioshock and where the "ultimate fans" even though they never heard of the first and second. Bioshock Infinite is good and all but I am very "hipster" about it. I try to never bring it up when talking about games to someone.
"No one heard of it soo I loved it even more, kinda like a hidden gem"
The hell are you smoking? Bioshock was hyped beyond all recognition by the gaming industry YEARS before it was released. Your "hipster" sense is bad and you should feel bad. At least if you are going to try and be hipster with the series, claim you loved System Shock - which noone did because it was rubbish, so you can hipster about System Shock 2 which was good.
Are you insane? No one heard of bioshock??? Everyone talked about those games, they were like, the most popular games when they came out. Haha "hidden gem" yeah fucking right.
To everyone commenting. I thought no one heard of it ,OK? do not have to scream. I had about 7 friends who never heard of it so I thought no one else knew, because I never knew Sytem Shock ever existed until now. The only comment here who actually has a smart comment is not just "are you insane! Everyone knew Bioshock!" is AtomicHearse. I am just stating what I feel like, because that what is comments are meant for. So yes I am SORRY I did not know. Also I thought being a "hipster" means that you liked it before everyone else did. Sorry for the long comment but really MilneYelim? "you hipster sense is bad and you should feel bad" first of all I should not feel bad about a game, and "Bioshock was hyped beyond all recognition by the game industry for YEARS before it was released!" I never heard of the game until it came out, lad. My friends are on steam and I asked all of them "hey you heard of Bioshock?" and almost all of them replied "no" that comment to my friend was made in 2009. 2 years after release.
oh yes and also becuase of all the "hate" I may get I am going to mute the post. In like 2 days so you can atleast see my response.
Your meta-cognition is astounding. How are the breathing lessons going?
He was actually pretty close with advanced warfare

How so? I know jack shit about CoD, so I find this concept intriguing
About the bio-weapon that targets specific ethnic groups.
It totally happens in CoD:AW.
It didn't target specific ethnic groups if I recall, it targeted people that wern't on the PMC companies list of members. In short, if you didn't have a chip implanted into you that the bio weapon recognized you died. This included people of all races, the only people who could get chips or whatever like that had to be buddy buddy with the PMC.
+Firan25 and ironacly 95% of all Atlases' soldiers are white and American soooooooo.
I wonder what old Yahtzee would say to hunt down the freeman. The literally one game he has put as more unplayable than ride to hell.
Only after careful scrutiny did I figure out which games were on what list.
Yeah bitch! Bioshock!
How happy I am to see Papers, Please as the Number Two Best. :)
I don't think anyone knows how long I've waited for this vid...
A year?
MrSingularityCollapse well played

“It isn’t a game, it’s congealed failure. I speak no hyperbole when I say releasing every box with no disc inside would have been less of a mistake.”
nevermind. don't bother looking down into the comments. its people hitting on infinite and what they thought should be number 1(mainly TLOU).
Rising but no Metro? Oh dear.
Yeah...
metro is good but rising is a billion times more fun than it i beat metro twice but i played rising for 100 hours because chopping shit into 198723849712398417=-234817023851723941 pieces just never gets old
It fits in the "dirty people getting their shit ruined" category.
imthetube44 Real life fits in that category too.
AdecostarElite Ouch! Right in the reality :D
Coming back to this to see if the new Doctor Who game would be a contender for the Lifetime Achievement Award.
He just laughed at it and said it sucked
And the game came out last year, so unless another version comes out this year, it wouldn’t be in the running.
OK This Is The first video of yours I have watched and might I say I am extremely confused and don't really have any idea what just happened in the last 5 minutes of my life I must say you are hilarious and know how to be funny and serious and to the point I will subscribe and continue watching your future endeavors sincerely confused ass viewer
Saints Row 4 and Metal Gear Rising: Revengence was better than The Last Of Us and GTA V according to ZeroPunctuation. You really do have impeccable taste in games...
Eternal Light 'but then again I'm WEIRD'
SR4 > GTA V
Arguing is pointless, because it will make you look even dumber.
Eternal Light Well, he's right.
Eternal Light TlOU is overrated as fuck anyway
Learn Quick overrated it may be, but there is a reason that things are overrated. If your ideology is that the world overhypes bad things then why don't I see ride to hell: retribution as the god of video games.
I'm not sure I share Yahtzee's optimistic view. By all accounts much less time should pass until something more horrible than "that" comes along.
I disagree. I think it will indeed take a while. There's NOTHING good about Ride To Hell: Retribution. In most of the worst games, you can find something good about them. With Ride To Hell, you can't. As soon as you find something that may be interesting, it just turns out to be even more shit piled onto the Dubai Tower of Shit.
MajorLeagueGamer838 Ey, this is the modern game industry, if there's one thing they know how to do it's to make monumental piles of shit that rival Windows Vista.
Wait wait... Yahtzee?! OPTIMISTIC?!
Hex PLAYS That was the joke. It's highly optimistic of him to assume the gaming industry can't throw something worse at us in 3 years tops. Get to it EA!
Sacred 3 was worse: "A grim death march through forced kookiness is worse than a thousand Ride to Hells. . ."
A friend of mine has a surprising number of stories that end with "..and that's why I'm not allowed to go (insert place/activity here) any more." Perhaps you two could get together and swap stories.
MR. HOPPY! "I hadn't done it. I only said I done it so the policeman would stop squeezing me naughty bits with the workman's vice."
I'm so glad Assassin's Creed 4 got a mention on the good side, because I for one think it was a fantastic game and I'm not seeing it on many best game lists for 2013. :I
trickyty I wouldn't say that; they rebooted the series. It's pretty hard to continue a series when one of the main characters dies in the first trilogy, so they continued it on subtly. I really like the new AC storyline where it focuses on the assassin's story rather than including it with the artifacts of Eden and Desmond, and that 4 kind of has this eerie sensation revolving around what they did to Desmond in general.
Overall, I'd say that, yeah, the storyline's gotten pretty awkward now, but as a game, Assassin's Creed 4 is fantastic in terms of the soundtrack, dialogue, voice acting, and gameplay (yarrr!). :U
haha yeah ok well the assassin gameplay has always been solid, but the backstory behind it was just increasingly cringe-worthy :|
trickyty Agreed. When I first saw the Assassin's Creed games I had no idea that they would have to do with a precursor to the human race with mythical artifacts and the end of the world. I just thought it was following an assassin's creed through the ages. xP With that, I'm actually pretty glad with how they're going with AC4 and on, where none of that seems to be present other than the templars hinting towards it once or twice.
