will do chief

Hey, Yahtzee's end of video email doesn't seem to work anymore. Thought you might want to know that.

The complexity of these reviews is mind boggling, as soon as it ends i have to immediately rewatch it lol

If he likes SyFy, he should try Hellpoint! :)

That EA crack was spot on!

That’s just how I operate in general

Sounds like an apt description of any American political party.

I was also surprised to hear a positive game review!

@@ThrottleKitty More like western politics in general, everyone involved in that is motivated less by genuine desire for good or to improve things than just pure puerile hatred and spite.

Sure,cinicysm is sometimes necessary,especially given the things he has to put up with.But i sometimes worry about Yahtzee given the only game he actually liked was Portal,AND NOTHING ELSE.Not being able to have fun and criticise the game at the same time isn't good.

I am absolutely going to use "You pay your respects to Newton at terminal velocity" next time a player falls to their death in my D&D campaigns.

You say that like a joke but I've legitimately pulled myself back from the brink with spite as a motivator and I know I'm not alone in that, so spite is legitimately a viable and dare I say even good reason to live.

@@GodOfOrphans spite is not a good reason to live. reexamine and restructure your life and head if you think so

@@dotanuki3371 Nah you have a very myopic view of things if you cannot see its value. When one is on the brink of the abyss grasping for any reason to hold on, it doesn't need to be anything grand it just needs to suffice, that is the true value of spite and other strong negative emotions they are enduring and can give people the strength to save themselves when fleeting positivity fails. That you cannot see that means you have never faced true hardship, you have never stared into the face of the abyss and had to find a reason to keep going, never fallen into said abyss and had to pull yourself back out. You have a dangerously oversimplified view of things from always looking down from your ivory tower, come on down to Earth sometime, you might learn something.

@@GodOfOrphans The power of Spite is a strong one. So go on, be spiteful against the universe, show it how little it is against you...

@@Npi13O7 I can't tell if you're joking or serious.

Coo! Coo! Coooooooooo!

All hail the Food Button! All hail the Food Button!

Hail

"Do Maternal?"

Goddamnit

Ok i commented "doom Returnal" thinking im funny, but you have clearly made the better joke

“DON’T MIND IF I DO”

and yet he still quite liked it, so i guess that speaks to the quality to the game

@@aidanpage2458 he did say it's more spite than enjoyment carrying him. i don't think that bodes well for any game described that way

@@bottomlefto it's like me and War Thunder

@@aidanpage2458 did he? In the end its an unremarkable game from his review

@@bottomlefto What Yahtzee described is that despite the pure rage that is driving him to play it, he still likes it enough where he doesn’t outright say he dislikes the game. So he likes it.

You said it.

Around the time the next console comes out

Bargain bins will be our best friends~

And actually available

499 isn't that bad

Thats nice my rng for the second level raped me for months

i beat the first boss on the second try and then the next 3 on the first try. now as for the actual maps. god damn. im into the second half of the game and its kicking my ass like id only just started it.

@@clockworklemon9243 I just keep getting the worse fucking guns in the game and I keep dying. but the gameplay was so addicting man.

@@clockworklemon9243 I'm having the same issue, just keep levelling up those weapon perks and unlocking stuff for ether. Now i am finding weapons with rank 2 and 3 perks on more reliably it's getting easier.

Same! Pretty wild. After the first forced reset it kinda just flew by. Found it becoming easier if I leave behind the RNG and just play and let the guns level up.

I wish the devs of dying light understood this.

@@sebs-shenanigans Really? I didn't feel like it was either, but I did feelike there were issues.

@@jackgebhardt2932 In one of the reviews I witnessed a man cutting a zombie in half whilst being tired (he was doing one of the early side quests), while I literally had to smack someone with Tahir's blade up to 6 or 7 times, which would still not be enough to take them down. On hard difficulties It felt like trying to crumble a wall with your pinky finger was task monumentally easier compared to the melee system. It also felt uttery jarring that a single kick in the face could finish everything off, while a swing with a heavy axe redeemed with premium dockets could not do so in 3. The end result was me completely abusing the finishers, camo, neck snaps and stuns, whilst barely utilizing my weapons. This created a sort of metronome system where combat was either Piss easy or Piss difficult. I completely refuse to talk about the bloody human enemies (especially those armed with guns).

@@sebs-shenanigans One word. The Following DLC, hardest difficulty, driving at night. OK, that was more then one word.

@@illuvattula5017 Which is why I never drove in the night. Running and Grappling. Driving was clunky as is, no need to complicate things further with bloody volatiles.

I think this comment wins the internet today.

@@serban031 It is just too damn accurate

To be fair, that’s how he sounds all the time

@@biscuitboi9478 No no I think we all know that he can really tear some games apart , so much so that they look like the demons from doom after you’ve curb stomped them by the time he’s done.

It appeals to his masochism.

Hurts so good.

you masochist boy/girl

I think he meant intentionally hurt you instead of y'know drakenguard mechanics

No game has been able to fulfill that goal quite as well as Drakengard before or sense.

"THIS HURTS YOU" -Harbinger, Mass Effect 2

Didn't he claim to like Breath of the Wild once??

Also, potentially, hand-jobs from people dressed up as Long John Silver.

Loves portal, and gave quite a lot of praise to minecraft.

Don’t forget Twix

@@sunnystrathern8396 yea, his fenyx rising video was basically a second review of botw where he says zelda is good

It actually reminded me of a 2D Souls-like called Death's Gambit, where there's a room that gets filled with corpes the more you die, and at one point (like 30 or 40 times) the pile gets high enough that you can use it to reach some rather nice loot.

"I am powered by spite, through which all things are possible"

"Cyan" like the color lol

You cannot deny he said it right. Sai-Yan

@@fireiron369 Yes I can

pidjin relidjin

But... his pronunciation of "Saiyan" is correct.

Dude. Currently wearing a shirt with your icon printed on it. Catana ftw

I can never get a good gun :(

Once you unlocked and leveled the various traits it kinda felt like nearly every gun was a decent gun. Starting pistol with nothing, sure, that things sucks. Pistol with scatter ammo, burst fire and homing rockets (which is rather common to get once unlocked), now you are cooking with gas. I think the problem is that the game doesnt tell you that a weapon can only spawn with unlocked traits and if no traits are unlocked the gun only spawns with one trait, which you then can unlock. But then when you have that trait unlocked, the next gun can spawn with the unlocked trait + one that still needs to be unlocked. So by the time you have 3-4 traits unlocked on a gun, you will regurlarly find guns with 2-3 traits (rarely 4) and one locked trait that you can unlock by using it. This massively ups the power of each weapon type, but requires a bit of use when the gun is less effective and might cause you to simply search for the gun type you have a ton of traits for which might screw you over if you dont find it.

To be fair, Yahtzee did say that the difficulty was all over the place because of procedural generation. You seemed to get a pretty nice and easy roll for your first play, but I suspect that your feeling toward the game may be different if you had rolled up an equally likely "prepare to get sodomized like a school girl" level of difficulty.

@@TheKrossRoads Lmao that is fair. When I say first play through, I meant playing until the final boss. There is no difference between your first run through and new game cycles besides harder enemy types showing up earlier during new-game cycles. Regardless, every-time you die you lose everything, and I personally died around 30 times (I usually die exponentially more lmao). I will clarify that perks are not as random as in other roguelikes, especially when the most helpful items are those that heal and revive, which you can purchase for the same price on every run. Also, there are only about 5 or 6 weapon variants with randomized upgrades, but on every single run it is extremely easy to find one that can sustain you during a boss fight. So I disagree with him in regards to run randomness, which is a problem I generally have with the genre. Especially harder roguelikes such as the ones I mentioned in the first comment where healing is especially hard to come by. Basically what I’m saying is don’t be afraid of Revival if you find roguelikes frustrating, because you don’t have to endlessly grind for perma-upgrades like others in the genre, and you won’t have to keep restarting to find some crazy god weapon. Very fairly balanced most of the time. (Clarification: when you kill a boss in Returnal you can literally waltz through that area to the next, and when you get to the final areas, you can waltz from the starting point to those areas. Again, no grind like other roguelikes where you have to kill thirteen cunting bosses in one run.)

I kind of got "it's good, but I really didn't have time to enjoy it fully because I needed to make this review."

they say rogue like, not lite

@@bhaveshramdaursingh4325 nah they definitely said rogue-lite here. Rogue-likes and Rogue-lites are different.

@@colincarpenter3549 must have misheard then. My bad

@@ileutur6863 rest in peace brother.

For clarification, rogue-like means each run is completely new and nothing carries over, think Spelunky, Binding of Issac, or Slay the Spire. Rogue-lite means some things may help you in future runs, think Hades, Rogue Legacy, or this.

It never truly ends

Or Happy Death Day without the gallows humor.

You know "Groundhog Day" was pretty depressing too; he was completely trapped for the entire movie with no way out, but it just randomly stopped at the end.

@@DavidGuild try the book.. he was trapped long enough to master piano and learn many languages I don't remember the exact timeframe but decades stuck in a single day.. the movie was super light hearted compared even with the suicide mentions

that's kind of the point of rogue-lites/likes as a genre of gaming. more recent games tho have really started integrating the gimmick into the plot/making it actually a plot point instead of just a game mechanic. happy to see this is the latter, like Hades was

I'm sure plenty other YOutubers have done it and he didn't want to

He pronounces it closer to an actual Japanese pronunciation than the Western dubs tbf

You may well be crazy, but I also got the impression that he likes it.

By yahtzees metric he absolutely liked it

Yeah I was honestly expecting him to dislike it a lot more considering he doesn’t like rogue-likes and Returnal’s weakest aspect is it’s rogue-lite qualities

I do believe you can beat it with starting weapons if you're good enough....it would take forever though. But yeah, it matters a GREAT deal if you get a lucky überweapon or some lame buff in the starting chests.

That game's difficulty spike is so crazy. I uninstalled it when it came out, after becoming annoyed by the bullet hell bosses, and decided to wait and see if they would tweak things in a patch. I reinstalled it recently, and nope, it still has that uneven difficulty spike. If they would have put more care into having gradual difficulty instead, I would have loved that game.

@@bluemooninthedaylight8073 I mean, it's not a uneven spike sprinkled throughout for me it felt more like a solid wall, and after the wall everything is easy again, besides a few of the pasts and extra modes. But the moment u build the bullet that could kill the past u essentially mastered the game and got over that wall. The balance felt alright it s more about the player that needs improvement. Cause even with the shittest guns and items I've beat the game bf, and sometimes with the best of luck I get killed 2 levels in. Idk, it's just a really grindy game that u need to get in the zone for.

Enter the gungeon is a completely different game after you beat it once. It’s kinda insane how much you improve from learning the enemies and mastering the dodging. Once you get over that hurdle it’s incredibly good.

@@8Kazuja8 eh, counter point, rainbow chest runs. If u r that good at the game and know all the characters and starter guns and weapons by heart u probably already unlocked rainbow chest runs. Granted it cost currency but it is still a good alternative. U can also manipulate rng early game to get better guns and items. Or u could do the alternate floors. Best of all there is couch coop, which shakes up early game a lot. There are tons of options if the game gets stale, not to mention the modding community on pc

nah Yahtzee rightfully points out that indie games have been running with this for so long (the game the roguelike/lite genre got its name from, Rogue, came out in the 80s) it has created entirely new subgenres

4:20 close second

All of her reports throughout definitely show a sign, she is losing it even more with every reset Also some of the bodies can be corrupted, and turn into monsters

Well damn, you actually exist

I just saw recently that the amount of active PS5-PSN accounts is about 60% of the total consoles sold. Which sounds bad but I guess it’s pretty common, the Xbox 360 had 45% for the first 6months of its release. They will be back in supply soon, I believe Sony has definitely realized that if they had just had enough to begin with they would have sold probably double the consoles.

@@danquaza9275 they've sold every console they made and will fail to meet demand for at least a few more months and then I suppose they will have oversold with the number in scalpers hands collecting dust until they sell for fair price.
