In the drought-stricked lands of the Escapist, they were forced to eat Sir Benjamin's minstrels. And there was much -rejoicing- complaining that the whole channel might as well be turned over to Yahzee.
I will admit, I supported this game on Kickstarter. Don't judge me too hard; college me was suckered in by the term "social stealth", which obviously I'm great at because nobody acknowledges me in public.
We've all made poor decisions in Uni. My housemate shagged my other housemates girl at the end of year carnival. Another time we scorched our table by putting a disposable barbeque on it, and I bought all of the original Hellsing anime and a Naruto Wall Scroll at once for over £100. Anyway, my point is, when you're in Uni, warning signs like the words "procedurally generated", "first person stealth mechanics" and "a shopping list of stretch goals that there is no way we can possibly fulfill with our current staffing if they're met" just don't register like they do with us now.
If you like the idea of social stealth, get Hitman 2016 and Hitman 2. They have those magical things called levels and each one is exquisitely detailed.
I don't think there are any towns that end in Shire.... because they have to be a shire to be called... shire. Like Cheshire. Which is technically a county, but that's the same thing.
"A robot can not design a fun game unless a human tells a robot what a fun game is and at that point the human is being what we call a game designer." One of Yahtzee most underrated quotes
Yeah, I feel that message that you need to live with the consequences of your actions and the best thing you can do is learn from those events is something that's only becoming more and more important in the modern world.
Hear, hear! Even if something hurts to remember, it might keep us from causing more pain to ourselves and others in the future... and hiding from pain doesn't necessarily work, in any case. Or if it does work, you end up hiding from most of who you are just to avoid the painful stuff.
We Happy Few is such an awesome idea and aesthetic that I almost wish some AAA publisher would buy and have it rebuilt. But then it would be filled to the brim with DLC, microtransactions, and loot boxes. Going to buckle in and wait for a "No Man's Sky" style megapatch.
idk why the word linear carries a negative connotation nowadays, id rather have a focused, scripted, and memorable game than an open one with a bunch of menial tasks.
I can’t wait for the drought to be over so Yahtzee can rip apart triple A games, these video are still good but it feels like he’s picking on a 6 year old with asthma and in a wheelchair.
As opposed to the triple A games, where he picks on an obese 20 year old with asthma who is in *two* wheelchairs And the 20 year old has all the fitness trainers and money In the world
WHF was adopted by a rich family and got leg braces and really good asthma meds. It's OK to pick on him now. Also, as far as I have noticed, full price...
"...the oppressive fascist state doesn't come about because of internal strife or military coup, it comes aboute largely because nobody wanted to cause a fuss." Fascism explained in one sentence.
Ironically, the only members of the british population who would cause a fuss are also the most likely to be supporting if not actively the founders of it.
If you want the American version, from my experiences at least it would be "Because we're tired of hearing about it". Or because they found something else to get pissed off about.
Honestly? The Fuss is alive and well. America's proven surprisingly resilient to 1984-style faccism. It's the other, less famous kinda faccism that's the problem. I forget the dude's name, but he posited a 24/7 entertainment masquerading as news that he imagined would break western civilization, and when the internet bubble finally trickled down to the hoosiers, that grim prophecy of the future came true and society still doesn't really have a game plan for dealing with it. I guess a few social media platforms banned a few Russian bots or something? But nobody's really pushing back against the broader trend, businesses nor consumers.

He lives in Australia, a country you may have noticed shares a rather close connection with old Great Britain. It's quite normal to remain very British despite living here, Australian news outlets often cover bits of British parliament.
no i'm not the biggest fan of the _new_ intro either, which feels 80% like it might transition into some rubbish action shooter, but the old was certainly not "up to scratch?" I jest though I *was* fond of the outro messages
No. I refer the content not the intro. In fact, I blaring sounds of Zero Punctuation before Croshaw begins to talk. Wish they would replace it with something more harmonious.
@@jotun.616 Ah those were great! His Painkiller one had me in tears. "You see this? This is the first prize trophy in the all-county cock sucking championship. The judges said I was like a vacuum cleaner with a puffer fish on the end. Meet me out front in 20 minute for the most mind-blowing 30 seconds of your life!" "Okay now I just have to figure out if that was a man or a woman."
3:11 "A computer can't design a fun game unless a human tells it what a fun game is and at that point the human is being what we call a game designer." Still rings true today.
I love what you do dude. I can always rely on you for honest brutal uncensored reviews that actually have great points to back them up. I value you as a critic infinitely more than any company like IGN or gamespot etc.
Well, he seemed to like the theme and plot. That seems like a plus. The notion of a procedurally generated, open world version of BioShock has been SERIOUSLY keeping my interest levels for this game in check since its inception though.
PewPew_McPewster For a lot of people, this game is a MASSIVE disappointment. Which is a shame as I knew about this game when I first heard about it on Kickstarter. The premise is the only thing that really worked for it but the problem is you have to deal with the rest of the game. And even if they did a massive mega-patch, it wouldn’t change the fact that the gameplay loop is mediocre at best.
Dude just mod some Bioshock content into Fallout 3. You'll be a lot happier. The reason I said 3 and not 4 is because the fans spent ten years fixing the bugs Bethesda Wouldn't, to the point where 3 is almost playable now.
"The world's sexiest greyhound through a furry convention" Of all the things you could have not illustrated, why this? I would love to see Yahtzee's depiction of a sexy greyhound at a furry con.
Why? You already know it would just be one of the little black imps with a cat ear headband and some snarky text off to the side. Just take a screencap from literally any ZP and do the rest yourself in Photoshop.
I could see British people trying to act VERY British if the culture of a proper British gentleman/lady is to "Keep Calm and Carry On" and whatnot. They're identifying heavily with it as a part of their cultish conformity to proper behavior. Kind of cool, actually.
With a name like Lager, you know this guy knows his proper Britishness. The only way that name could be more British would be if he was called Vindaloo St. Hampterfordshire-on-myre.
I have never heard a more candid review... of anything... ever... well done. I will subscribe forever. then I heard the rest of the reviews, and I sensed a theme. I needed this.
1:55 "what this is, is the British characteristic of keeping a cheerful stiff upper lip in times of crisis elevated to oppressive fascist doctrine" I never noticed that about this game. Props to Yahtzee for this interesting insight.
That was definitely one of the more interesting aspects of the game. Pity there weren't more really. It was also a plot element used in other dystopian pieces like Children of Men and to a degree V for Vendetta. More than anything the game is something of a rip off of the 1980s Doctor Who story "The Happiness Patrol" where a dictatorial regime keeps a Human colony in a state of enforced saccharine happiness and outlaws any display of sadness and depression. The "killjoys" who won't comply with the enforced frivolity are either disappeared by the state or are driven out into the wildernesses beyond the cities. It's definitely one of the better Dr Who stories, in concept if not necessarily in execution. Curiously to link to Yahtzee's video, the story contains a straight up parody of Margaret Thatcher running the regime!
I've read Jam and it's overall a really entertaining book, it managed to drive a narrative that was both coherent and goofy at the same time, it had some good jocks and poked fun to the post-apocalyptic genre; overall I would recommend it as a worthwhile read I don't know about the other ones but Moggworld is generally viewed as its weakest, "Will save the galaxy for food" and "differently morphous" had good review overall and because they were written after Jam expect at least the same level of quality if not better His books are all similar in style, they work as parodies of a certain genre while poking fun at real-life groups in a story filled with inventive situations and charismatic characters, so choose what you prefer : MMORPG/fantasy parody (Moggworld), post-apocalyptic world parody (Jam), sci-fi parody (Will save the galaxy) or fantastic in contemporan world parody (differently morphous) Also be mindful that even if Yathzee's style is still clearly recognizable the humor is much different than the one in ZP, and that his goal is to make a story unfold before making jokes
Where are all the audiobook versions? Audible? iv had an audio version of Moggworld and would love to hear the other stories, but only if Yahtzhee is reading it...
To answer all of them I listen to them on my kindle fire on the amazon store but I do believe audible works as well if I’m wrong please correct me I’m glad I can help you guys listen to (in my opinion) writing genius
The problem is, that when quoted people only really do the Dead Parrot sketch, Life of Brian, or Holy Grail, Because those are universally recognized, you can only hear Dead Parrot, Bigus Dickus, or anything from Holy Grail so long before it gets boring.
Because it's 8 BILLION years old, and anyone still quoting it has the least amount of creativity you could possibly muster. Almost any reference is lazy, but a monty python reference is like going to sports day and knocking yourself out because you can't be bothered to run. It's the 20th century equivalent of "The Cake is a Lie" I know i'm over egging it a bit, but genuinely, anyone who thinks they're funny, and then proceeds to say a monty python reference, needs a severe self evaluation. If you don't think you're funny, eh well go nuts, everyone's got something wrong with them.
Meaning of Life is woefully underrated. There are some sketches that are just pure Gilliam fantasia, like the Crimson Permanent Assurance. You can directly see how he and Palin would go on to give us Jabberwocky, Time Bandits and even Brazil.
supersasukemaniac they could have other peoples quoting something else, but the trouble is that they all have learned how not to be seen. *distant explosion*
I would reckon his point was that since "open worlds" (or similar features) have become the norm in many current games, this particular game substituted a handmade world for a proceduraly generated one to fill in the gaps, and he doesn't think it was a good call.
I mean in my personal cases I’m led to believe they are but that’s far less interesting then any theories literally anyone else has come up with when thinking about it for 2 seconds.
All valid points, though I feel like the We Happy Few DLCs quite surprisingly took a massive step up in quality from the base game; the first one made me care about the enemies as well as two previously annoying throwaway characters, the second one was a largely forgettable but fun enough goofy trip, and the third one felt like proper closure, the likes of which the original game never attained... and they all play better, have entirely hand-crafted levels and content, and dispense with the rubbish gather-crafty bits and procedural wastelands.
Francine Mcloughlin They struck "The Patriarchy" = Merit based hierarchies in Western nations, not Islamic with Ghostbusters, 3 Star Wars movies, much TV News indoctrination, and oppression narrative lies. Like the reasons for the Wage Gap, 3/5 Women in America being Raped in their lives, 21 Million Women being abused online. All Lies. They're trying to subvert the Culture to benefit them, not obtain equality. To control the way everyone thinks. By banning words, replacing them with New-Speak- like how they say Diversity instead of the truth of Black and Brown people. Side note: How is the term African-American not a bit racist and very divisive? Humans used to live in a Communist/Socialist like state before we understood economic systems like we do today. Progressives say that such economic policies are the future when in fact Capitalism came after Socialism. People need linear motivations to work their hardest. Paying everyone the same gives people no incentive to work as hard as they can, which will be more or less productive than other people naturally. It's social engineering and inhumane to penalize people based on arbitrary feelings of fairness instead of giving them what they have legally earned through free market contracts and voluntary transactions. Principles over feels, bruh. Let's get scientific. Women produce and release testosterone from their adrenal glands to their brains when needing to focus on high cognitive tasks such as fast paced/competitive gaming. After days of being in situations of high stress Women may break down because they can't keep producing testosterone to focus. They start producing adrenaline and will eventually fall apart mentally if they do not leave that stressful environment. Men naturally have an advantage over Women in prolonged settings of stressful situations because off this. Among other things. Like Men having generally 10% larger brains than Women, across all races. Obama had the same exact policies when in office. The Media did nothing. Trump ended the family separation with an executive order temporarily like he's supposed to. The President is not supposed to make laws with executive orders. He did exactly what he's supposed to legally. Those laws were passed by Democrats, not Republicans. We had those laws because we can't instantly confirm whether these children are being trafficked by the adult they are with. Do you really think it's better for children to be imprisoned with possibly dangerous adult criminals? Or with just other kids for a short time? We didn't force them into this situation. It's these peoples responsibility to make their country great, not rely on White people while saying Mexico and Latinos are the best. There were many "La Raza" or "The Race" believing people that were in the Migrant Caravan that headed for the US border months ago causing these problems. American Men have to sign up for the Draft to Vote. That's not Equality. We've never Legally had Gender Equality in America. But because it disadvantages Men and benefits Whamen, they keep quiet about it, and even lie about it, about their vision of Equality. Wage Gap lies. Because Feminism isn't about Equality. Now, instead of projecting and continuing the cycle of hate that's enveloped Western Cultures, form an argument. Read my Copy/Paste in a reply to a comment on my funny video. ;) Voluntary charity is moral. Socialism uses Government force to redistribute resources, you will be jailed if you do not give them money. This is a short discussion I had in a comments section of one of The Daily Wire's video. This is the discussed paragraph. The rest are below. Humans used to live in a Communist/Socialist like state before we understood economic systems like we do today. Progressives say that such economic policies are the future when in fact Capitalism came after Socialism. People need linear motivations to work their hardest. Paying everyone the same gives people no incentive to work as hard as they can, which will be more or less productive than other people naturally. It's social engineering and inhumane to penalize people based on arbitrary feelings of fairness instead of giving them what they have legally earned through free market contracts and voluntary transactions. Principles over feels, bruh. Jon Smith 54 minutes ago "UntamedPandaSweg I agree with most of what you said here. But your statement that humans used to exist in a Communist/Socialist way is way off the mark, how you can substantiate it would be interesting, but not likely any more than anecdotal, with the odd examples of where it was tried and abandoned in abject failure. The original pilgrim enclaves were somewhat socialist but many failed completely, as the truth of human nature, includes sloth, sense of entitlement and thirst for power and control. I’m pushing 70, in the 60’s...the whole “Commune” sex, drugs, rock n roll, free love thing sounded pretty cool. But then experience shows ya that the dude gettin high all day, making tie-dyed t-shirts, is entitled to the same as the mechanic busting his ass and knuckles all day, keeping the communes equipment running...sorta makes ya rethink your positions and priorities. Turned me into a hardcore capitalist, second amendment “nut-job”, willing to fight to keep what my bloody knuckles had earned. Yeah, I support freedom of choice, and I CHOOSE to keep the product of my labor and the “right” to choose if and with whom I’ll “share”. By my mentions of freedom of choice, I DIDN’T mean abortion...just to clarify. ✌️🍻🇺🇸🍕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸" UntamedPandaSweg 29 minutes ago "Jon Smith Happy 4th of July! It's a malformed abomination of an argument. I know that. A lot of History is murky, and more importantly we will never know what people thought/why they really did most things. Time for an excuse. Not much time to study History when I need to know everything about World Politics daily. I like to think about how early Humans treated resources as a society, the concept interests me. I theorize Humans before Civilization lived in a more socialistic fashion, technically they were more communist than anyone will ever be again from there not even being the idea of Government, because they didn't have the ideas that people do now of things like the Right to Private Property, and because they literally had to live like that, to survive as a species. They just had their feelings for guidance. There's been studies on how people eating together will subconsciously eat about the same amount of food as the other people eating with them if they're sharing from the same restricted food source. This is a big spur to guide my thinking to propose Socialism and Communism had their uses and aren't inherently evil. They're regressive ideas."
I'd also like to point out that there is a skill tree, specifically a bad one. There are two main categories (and two smaller ones), but the only real choice between the main categories is the good one and the bad one. The categories are combat and stealth, but there isn't much of an opportunity to use stealth and even if there is you can beat people to death anyways. Meanwhile, you will be forced into scripted battles which screws you over if you decided to go the stealth route.
I think the procedurally generated world was really just a way to make the world different for each of the three acts. To hammer home the fact that all three characters are extremely unreliable narrators. It was less for the gameplay and more for the narrative. It's still essentially just a way to make the devs job easier, they just have to make parts of town rather than the whole town three times.
And because he started the review "it's not as bad as everyone say it is"...said something nice about the game, then started tearing apart everything wrong with the game hoping it gets patch in the future.
I never said that it was a completely positive review. He fully acknowledged all of the game's problems yet he still recommended it. All things considered he wasn't all that harsh with "We Happy Few" especially if you consider some of his past reviews.
Oh sure, I meant gggmanlives review was a bit disingenuous starting with "not as bad people say it is". Even negative reviews acknowledge the game has good things, but overshadow by the bad parts. At the very least the first statement is unnecessary and it's quickly undermined by everything objectively wrong with the game.
Ah yes. This is the moment we get to see Yahtzee's old British side come out. He may live in the colonies, and have been temporarily lived on that prison island. But his core Britishness still shines through.
After all the bullshit development the game didn't come out good? What a shocker. Honest, if the day ever comes, I'll love to see the ZP for Star Citizen.
Diego Diego Is it a free game? Hmm, no, I see a price tag, even a "Deluxe" edition. I also see they received funding from multiple sources. I'm sorry, your argument doesn't hold up. Feel free to send me $29.99 to $50.99. I'm also a small team and I can release sub-par quality products as well!
No need to get all defensive about it, im not saying it's a good game, im saying you can't really blame them. And having lots of money doesn't change deadlines, plus you don't really know how much the company actually gave to the developers, nor if the decision to do a deluxe version was theirs.
Diego Diego It's not being defensive, it's being realistic. Yes, you can really blame them. Doesn't change deadlines... but you can hire people to speed things up? Do more in less time? Novel concept, I know. Again you go white knighting for these strangers, talking as if they are poor, defenseless babies in the wild. Did they read the contract before signing? So again, yes, their actions, their problem. Why is it that people today think everyone is a victim that can't be held to account for their actions? No wonder games (and products) in general are becoming more and more shittier. Customers who used to hold creators to account now just pat them on the head and toss more money at them. Pro tip: These guys won't improve if all you say is "You did your best, have my money". Criticism is a very important part of personal growth.
My biggest issue was that the story wasn't good, and the 'bad thing' while it was bad, was also weak and far fetch which I can say kindly about it. Design wise the masks and 60's feel is great but the story bothers me especially as it's alternative timeline. Would monty python and other past pop culture references and material be relevant to the characters in the game given britain lost ww2? It just seems odd and not immersive for the player for characters and the game to reference material that shouldn't exist in their history.
_Did_ Britain really lose WWII though? I got the impression that the rest of the world was more-or-less fine and it was only Wellington Wells that f*cked up (part of the reason they isolate themselves being that they refuse to acknowledge anything that reminds them of The Thing, up to and including the outside world itself).
I'm surprised he hasn't tried picking apart a game that's been #2 now #3 in steam for 5 years 😅 Warframe would be fun to see from Yahtzees perspective.
Right? I'd bet $100 he has some "friends" that play it already and could pop in on the missions that he can't muscle through on single-player stubbornness.
@@TheFranssiBrother I think that's the answer 😂 but if he does it, it would mean he could possibly I produce the game to new players, I mean who doesn't want to be a Space Ninja?
Far as I'm concerned, any country that feels the need to ban production of pornography with spanking in it is far too authoritarian for my taste. So I agree... not sure what the fuck the daily mail has to do with anything but hey, whatever.
I don't want to cause a fuss, but the only thing missing from this game is Jeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister. And a stable glitch-less playing environment.
lol what yahtzee describes 1:30 is clearly aimed the at left who search for a safe space were all the nasty things of history don't exist and the mean right Has to leave their perfect happy bubble.
Jim Sterling was a possible influence, since he was mentioning how much of a pain the status mechanic was and now it has been made to where it is a lot easier.
"But even if you enjoy running across empty meadows cause you're a FOUCKING HORSE-"
Good God the enraged emphasis in that sentence was beautiful.
The utter contempt in the way Yahtzee says "f**king horse" makes me cry laughing every damn time I come back to this video.
"You can run faster than the world's sexiest greyhound through a furry convention."
Gonna need a moment to recover from that.

From what I've heard the game's title summarizes the playerbase perfectly. Only a few are happy with this game.

I don't think I ever got past Act 1, kinda wish they left the game with just Arthur.
Only people who say to hate this game are Jim Sterling fanboys and people who played it in early access.
The people who like this game are the youtubers who were sponsored by it.
Well, I like openness so...

"A robot can not design a fun game unless a human tells a robot what a fun game is and at that point the human is being what we call a game designer."
One of Yahtzee most underrated quotes
I really do enjoy the message of the game, accepting bad things that happened makes us more human.
Yeah, I feel that message that you need to live with the consequences of your actions and the best thing you can do is learn from those events is something that's only becoming more and more important in the modern world.
Hear, hear! Even if something hurts to remember, it might keep us from causing more pain to ourselves and others in the future... and hiding from pain doesn't necessarily work, in any case. Or if it does work, you end up hiding from most of who you are just to avoid the painful stuff.
Tell that to the republicans trying to cancel books at schools just because they teach history thats sometimes bad
We Happy Few is such an awesome idea and aesthetic that I almost wish some AAA publisher would buy and have it rebuilt. But then it would be filled to the brim with DLC, microtransactions, and loot boxes. Going to buckle in and wait for a "No Man's Sky" style megapatch.
Filled to the brim with microtransactions, super-triple deluxe, awesome mega versions, and all that shit.
I think this was satire on account of the fact that it was pretty clever if it is satire
Moderately large cats are the objectively best hiding spots in any game.
You don't understand Yahtzee, nowadays anything linear is bad and anything open is good.
I guess "open" is a gimmick that doesn't get old
Your spine would like to ask you "are you sure lad?"
@@gustavowadaslopes2479 I'll have you know my spine is very open

I can’t wait for the drought to be over so Yahtzee can rip apart triple A games, these video are still good but it feels like he’s picking on a 6 year old with asthma and in a wheelchair.
As opposed to the triple A games, where he picks on an obese 20 year old with asthma who is in *two* wheelchairs
And the 20 year old has all the fitness trainers and money In the world
I wonder what his reaction to Doom Eternal is gonna be
WHF was adopted by a rich family and got leg braces and really good asthma meds. It's OK to pick on him now. Also, as far as I have noticed, full price...

"...the oppressive fascist state doesn't come about because of internal strife or military coup,

Fascism explained in one sentence.
Ironically, the only members of the british population who would cause a fuss are also the most likely to be supporting if not actively the founders of it.
Yeah, that was a surprisingly intelligent assessment I felt the game made.
If you want the American version, from my experiences at least it would be "Because we're tired of hearing about it". Or because they found something else to get pissed off about.
Honestly? The Fuss is alive and well. America's proven surprisingly resilient to 1984-style faccism. It's the other, less famous kinda faccism that's the problem. I forget the dude's name, but he posited a 24/7 entertainment masquerading as news that he imagined would break western civilization, and when the internet bubble finally trickled down to the hoosiers, that grim prophecy of the future came true and society still doesn't really have a game plan for dealing with it. I guess a few social media platforms banned a few Russian bots or something? But nobody's really pushing back against the broader trend, businesses nor consumers.
This is why Terry Gilliam's Brazil is still the best representation of a fascist dystopia.

Now THAT’S a grade A line.
I like how even after so many years living abroad, he still retains a deep-seated resentment of Margaret Thatcher. It's the little things, you know. 😆
He lives in Australia, a country you may have noticed shares a rather close connection with old Great Britain. It's quite normal to remain very British despite living here, Australian news outlets often cover bits of British parliament.
@@mitchwilliamson5552 Actually, he moved to San Francisco some months ago, but yes, I get your point.

You managed to use the words panty sloshing wet dream, and Margaret Thatcher in the same sentence. Well done
lotta sexual references to Margaret Thatcher there. Hope you aren't writing Iron Lady fanfics
Only reading.
I wonder where he found the picture of that Sexy Margaret Thatcher Halloween Costume he used in the background animation?

And the funny little messages in the outro
And when every ZP episode had a unique intro and outro song.
no
i'm not the biggest fan of the _new_ intro either, which feels 80% like it might transition into some rubbish action shooter, but the old was certainly not "up to scratch?" I jest

No. I refer the content not the intro. In fact, I blaring sounds of Zero Punctuation before Croshaw begins to talk. Wish they would replace it with something more harmonious.

I love what you do dude. I can always rely on you for honest brutal uncensored reviews that actually have great points to back them up. I value you as a critic infinitely more than any company like IGN or gamespot etc.
Well, he seemed to like the theme and plot. That seems like a plus.
The notion of a procedurally generated, open world version of BioShock has been SERIOUSLY keeping my interest levels for this game in check since its inception though.
PewPew_McPewster
For a lot of people, this game is a MASSIVE disappointment. Which is a shame as I knew about this game when I first heard about it on Kickstarter.
The premise is the only thing that really worked for it but the problem is you have to deal with the rest of the game. And even if they did a massive mega-patch, it wouldn’t change the fact that the gameplay loop is mediocre at best.
PewPew_McPewster The premise is good, the game isn't.
Dude just mod some Bioshock content into Fallout 3. You'll be a lot happier. The reason I said 3 and not 4 is because the fans spent ten years fixing the bugs Bethesda Wouldn't, to the point where 3 is almost playable now.
1:16 I think Yahtzee doesn't like Margaret Thatcher.
I mean, duh. Who does?
Margaret Thatcher's funeral was the first time in history where the 21 gun salute was aimed at the casket.
Maybe a Ruth Bader Ginsburg RPG?
The problem with pissing on Thatcher's grave is that eventually you'll run out of piss
Considering you can make an entire section of the UK irrationally angry just by saying her name...
"The world's sexiest greyhound through a furry convention"
Of all the things you could have not illustrated, why this? I would love to see Yahtzee's depiction of a sexy greyhound at a furry con.
Why? You already know it would just be one of the little black imps with a cat ear headband and some snarky text off to the side. Just take a screencap from literally any ZP and do the rest yourself in Photoshop.
@Adude601 I agree with you lol
Why interpreting from your profile picture, I'm sure this event has already happened to you.
Adude601 course you would fucking degenerate

seeing this this on facebook a couple years ago got me into zero punctuation, almost nostalgic watching it again
They work so hard at sounding proper brittish that ut almost becomes a caricature when i hear the voice acting.
They also look like caricatures(in a very cartoonish way), so it seems fitting
Well the voice actors ARE British so...
The vo's are British. It's meant to be camp.
I could see British people trying to act VERY British if the culture of a proper British gentleman/lady is to "Keep Calm and Carry On" and whatnot. They're identifying heavily with it as a part of their cultish conformity to proper behavior. Kind of cool, actually.
With a name like Lager, you know this guy knows his proper Britishness. The only way that name could be more British would be if he was called Vindaloo St. Hampterfordshire-on-myre.
I have never heard a more candid review... of anything... ever... well done. I will subscribe forever.
then I heard the rest of the reviews, and I sensed a theme. I needed this.
1:55 "what this is, is the British characteristic of keeping a cheerful stiff upper lip in times of crisis elevated to oppressive fascist doctrine"
I never noticed that about this game. Props to Yahtzee for this interesting insight.
That was definitely one of the more interesting aspects of the game. Pity there weren't more really.
It was also a plot element used in other dystopian pieces like Children of Men and to a degree V for Vendetta.
More than anything the game is something of a rip off of the 1980s Doctor Who story "The Happiness Patrol" where a dictatorial regime keeps a Human colony in a state of enforced saccharine happiness and outlaws any display of sadness and depression. The "killjoys" who won't comply with the enforced frivolity are either disappeared by the state or are driven out into the wildernesses beyond the cities. It's definitely one of the better Dr Who stories, in concept if not necessarily in execution. Curiously to link to Yahtzee's video, the story contains a straight up parody of Margaret Thatcher running the regime!
Extra "Oh-so-British" points to Yatzee for throwing a Wisden reference in there.

WELCOME TO JUDGING BY THE COVER. WHERE THIS WEEK. WE'LL BE JUDGING. YAHTZEE'S AWKWARD STILTED DELIVERY.
*BY THE COVER.*
This is the video that I subscribed on.
And then I heard Moviebob was updating on Escapist too and started to second guess my decision.
Excuse me yachtzee I finished listening to all your books and honestly they are amazing keep up the great work on UA-cam and writing 11/10
I want to start reading his novels but I'm not sure where to start. Any recommendation?
I've read Jam and it's overall a really entertaining book, it managed to drive a narrative that was both coherent and goofy at the same time, it had some good jocks and poked fun to the post-apocalyptic genre; overall I would recommend it as a worthwhile read
I don't know about the other ones but Moggworld is generally viewed as its weakest, "Will save the galaxy for food" and "differently morphous" had good review overall and because they were written after Jam expect at least the same level of quality if not better
His books are all similar in style, they work as parodies of a certain genre while poking fun at real-life groups in a story filled with inventive situations and charismatic characters, so choose what you prefer : MMORPG/fantasy parody (Moggworld), post-apocalyptic world parody (Jam), sci-fi parody (Will save the galaxy) or fantastic in contemporan world parody (differently morphous)
Also be mindful that even if Yathzee's style is still clearly recognizable the humor is much different than the one in ZP, and that his goal is to make a story unfold before making jokes
@@ytoon3031 Thanks, man.
Where are all the audiobook versions? Audible? iv had an audio version of Moggworld and would love to hear the other stories, but only if Yahtzhee is reading it...
To answer all of them I listen to them on my kindle fire on the amazon store but I do believe audible works as well if I’m wrong please correct me I’m glad I can help you guys listen to (in my opinion) writing genius

What's wrong with Monty Python? I thought that was taught in British schools. Between maths and history
The problem is, that when quoted people only really do the Dead Parrot sketch, Life of Brian, or Holy Grail, Because those are universally recognized, you can only hear Dead Parrot, Bigus Dickus, or anything from Holy Grail so long before it gets boring.
You can only get those exact fiv... no, three things being referenced.
Because it's 8 BILLION years old, and anyone still quoting it has the least amount of creativity you could possibly muster. Almost any reference is lazy, but a monty python reference is like going to sports day and knocking yourself out because you can't be bothered to run. It's the 20th century equivalent of "The Cake is a Lie"
I know i'm over egging it a bit, but genuinely, anyone who thinks they're funny, and then proceeds to say a monty python reference, needs a severe self evaluation.
If you don't think you're funny, eh well go nuts, everyone's got something wrong with them.
Meaning of Life is woefully underrated. There are some sketches that are just pure Gilliam fantasia, like the Crimson Permanent Assurance. You can directly see how he and Palin would go on to give us Jabberwocky, Time Bandits and even Brazil.
supersasukemaniac they could have other peoples quoting something else, but the trouble is that they all have learned how not to be seen.

PREY is only proceduraly generated in the DLC Yahtzee, stop being such a meanie !
I think he meant "open world", more so than proceduraly generated.
@@MarikHavair
Well then I don't see the problem since PREY is more of a 3D metroidvania than an open world game.
Such an underrated game btw.
I would reckon his point was that since "open worlds" (or similar features) have become the norm in many current games, this particular game substituted a handmade world for a proceduraly generated one to fill in the gaps, and he doesn't think it was a good call.
You have a tsuki ga kirei picture. I like you.
It is a retro-futuristic open-world game though.
I just realized this is the British game he talked about in the Yakuza video
Oddly enough, Jim Sterling's review was more scathing than Yahtzee's, and I'm not sure what to think of that.
The ending about openness is quite hilarious.

Dylan Carroll do they refer to Walkers as chips or crisps?

"Remember, Lisa, an Elevator is called a Lift, a Mile is called a Kilometer, and botulism is called Steak and Kidney Pie."
That "Nooooo" cracked me up for some reason.
I think it was good and the story was very good. Plus I liked the characters.
Ch50304, Same it just needs more work on the gameplay and to get rid of that horde mode at the end of act 3.
I dont know how you do it with all these wonderful analogies. I wish I had your level of eloquence
Fun fact, one of the devs said the game is about how anti-depressants are bad for you.
Dead fucking serious.
I mean in my personal cases I’m led to believe they are but that’s far less interesting then any theories literally anyone else has come up with when thinking about it for 2 seconds.
“Even if you happen to enjoy running through empty fields because your a fucking horse” kills me everytime.

"PLEASE MAKE A 1984 OR ORWELLIAN REFERENCE!!!"

Thatcher jokes were spot on! Keep it up
Should I buy the game to ensure I don’t cause a fuss or not buy it for the same reason?
I don’t know which fuss not to fuss and which to fuss.
Just pretend you haven't much about it and were never interested in the first place. No need to pick between those two dreadful options, sir.
Glad to see your still around
Haven't watched the video but I'm calling it here, he calls it we crappy poo
I was right!
"But even if you enjoy running across empty meadows 'cause you're a _fucking horse_
That one had me rolling.
All valid points, though I feel like the We Happy Few DLCs quite surprisingly took a massive step up in quality from the base game; the first one made me care about the enemies as well as two previously annoying throwaway characters, the second one was a largely forgettable but fun enough goofy trip, and the third one felt like proper closure, the likes of which the original game never attained... and they all play better, have entirely hand-crafted levels and content, and dispense with the rubbish gather-crafty bits and procedural wastelands.
Love your videos! Thank you for making them
A game about a dystopian Britain and not a single brexit joke?
Now thats restraint
Francine Mcloughlin They struck "The Patriarchy" = Merit based hierarchies in Western nations, not Islamic with Ghostbusters, 3 Star Wars movies, much TV News indoctrination, and oppression narrative lies. Like the reasons for the Wage Gap, 3/5 Women in America being Raped in their lives, 21 Million Women being abused online. All Lies. They're trying to subvert the Culture to benefit them, not obtain equality. To control the way everyone thinks. By banning words, replacing them with New-Speak- like how they say Diversity instead of the truth of Black and Brown people. Side note: How is the term African-American not a bit racist and very divisive?
Humans used to live in a Communist/Socialist like state before we understood economic systems like we do today. Progressives say that such economic policies are the future when in fact Capitalism came after Socialism. People need linear motivations to work their hardest. Paying everyone the same gives people no incentive to work as hard as they can, which will be more or less productive than other people naturally. It's social engineering and inhumane to penalize people based on arbitrary feelings of fairness instead of giving them what they have legally earned through free market contracts and voluntary transactions. Principles over feels, bruh.
Let's get scientific. Women produce and release testosterone from their adrenal glands to their brains when needing to focus on high cognitive tasks such as fast paced/competitive gaming. After days of being in situations of high stress Women may break down because they can't keep producing testosterone to focus. They start producing adrenaline and will eventually fall apart mentally if they do not leave that stressful environment. Men naturally have an advantage over Women in prolonged settings of stressful situations because off this. Among other things. Like Men having generally 10% larger brains than Women, across all races.
Obama had the same exact policies when in office. The Media did nothing. Trump ended the family separation with an executive order temporarily like he's supposed to. The President is not supposed to make laws with executive orders. He did exactly what he's supposed to legally. Those laws were passed by Democrats, not Republicans. We had those laws because we can't instantly confirm whether these children are being trafficked by the adult they are with. Do you really think it's better for children to be imprisoned with possibly dangerous adult criminals? Or with just other kids for a short time? We didn't force them into this situation. It's these peoples responsibility to make their country great, not rely on White people while saying Mexico and Latinos are the best. There were many "La Raza" or "The Race" believing people that were in the Migrant Caravan that headed for the US border months ago causing these problems.
American Men have to sign up for the Draft to Vote. That's not Equality. We've never Legally had Gender Equality in America. But because it disadvantages Men and benefits Whamen, they keep quiet about it, and even lie about it, about their vision of Equality. Wage Gap lies. Because Feminism isn't about Equality. Now, instead of projecting and continuing the cycle of hate that's enveloped Western Cultures, form an argument. Read my Copy/Paste in a reply to a comment on my funny video. ;)
Voluntary charity is moral. Socialism uses Government force to redistribute resources, you will be jailed if you do not give them money.
This is a short discussion I had in a comments section of one of The Daily Wire's video. This is the discussed paragraph. The rest are below.

"UntamedPandaSweg I agree with most of what you said here. But your statement that humans used to exist in a Communist/Socialist way is way off the mark, how you can substantiate it would be interesting, but not likely any more than anecdotal, with the odd examples of where it was tried and abandoned in abject failure. The original pilgrim enclaves were somewhat socialist but many failed completely, as the truth of human nature, includes sloth, sense of entitlement and thirst for power and control. I’m pushing 70, in the 60’s...the whole “Commune” sex, drugs, rock n roll, free love thing sounded pretty cool. But then experience shows ya that the dude gettin high all day, making tie-dyed t-shirts, is entitled to the same as the mechanic busting his ass and knuckles all day, keeping the communes equipment running...sorta makes ya rethink your positions and priorities. Turned me into a hardcore capitalist, second amendment “nut-job”, willing to fight to keep what my bloody knuckles had earned. Yeah, I support freedom of choice, and I CHOOSE to keep the product of my labor and the “right” to choose if and with whom I’ll “share”. By my mentions of freedom of choice, I DIDN’T mean abortion...just to clarify. ✌️🍻🇺🇸🍕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸"

"Jon Smith Happy 4th of July! It's a malformed abomination of an argument. I know that. A lot of History is murky, and more importantly we will never know what people thought/why they really did most things. Time for an excuse. Not much time to study History when I need to know everything about World Politics daily. I like to think about how early Humans treated resources as a society, the concept interests me. I theorize Humans before Civilization lived in a more socialistic fashion, technically they were more communist than anyone will ever be again from there not even being the idea of Government, because they didn't have the ideas that people do now of things like the Right to Private Property, and because they literally had to live like that, to survive as a species. They just had their feelings for guidance. There's been studies on how people eating together will subconsciously eat about the same amount of food as the other people eating with them if they're sharing from the same restricted food source. This is a big spur to guide my thinking to propose Socialism and Communism had their uses and aren't inherently evil. They're regressive ideas."

Good point
Probably
Otherwise it makes no sense
I'd also like to point out that there is a skill tree, specifically a bad one. There are two main categories (and two smaller ones), but the only real choice between the main categories is the good one and the bad one. The categories are combat and stealth, but there isn't much of an opportunity to use stealth and even if there is you can beat people to death anyways. Meanwhile, you will be forced into scripted battles which screws you over if you decided to go the stealth route.
Is yahtzee ever going to do rogue legacy. He references to it whenever rogue-likes or procedural generation come up
The Noob Or maybe Hyper Light Drifter, or PS2 classics....
This vid had me dying. Dang had to kill me with his hilarious jokes/references lol.
I have been looking forward to the review of this game.
Well, that doggie at 2:59 looks pretty darn happy with what he made, maybe those levels are worth a play-thru.
I think the procedurally generated world was really just a way to make the world different for each of the three acts. To hammer home the fact that all three characters are extremely unreliable narrators. It was less for the gameplay and more for the narrative.
It's still essentially just a way to make the devs job easier, they just have to make parts of town rather than the whole town three times.
LOLed at the imp clusters, and a lot of the funny bits here and there! XD
Finally. A comprehensive guide for getting along in the modern world. The GTA model is so dated
I like how the hat is such a part of yahyzee that he will puy another one ontop instead of replwcing it
Pretty much the only person that gave We Happy Few a positive review was gggmanlives.
And because he started the review "it's not as bad as everyone say it is"...said something nice about the game, then started tearing apart everything wrong with the game hoping it gets patch in the future.
I never said that it was a completely positive review. He fully acknowledged all of the game's problems yet he still recommended it. All things considered he wasn't all that harsh with "We Happy Few" especially if you consider some of his past reviews.
Oh sure, I meant gggmanlives review was a bit disingenuous starting with "not as bad people say it is". Even negative reviews acknowledge the game has good things, but overshadow by the bad parts. At the very least the first statement is unnecessary and it's quickly undermined by everything objectively wrong with the game.
This was the review I needed. Thank you.
Arthur Hastings? Someone inform the estate of Agatha Christie! Let the lawsuit begin.
Ah yes. This is the moment we get to see Yahtzee's old British side come out.
He may live in the colonies, and have been temporarily lived on that prison island. But his core Britishness still shines through.
That cake shop reference eh? Shouldn't surprise me that a Brit is fine letting the government force artists to do art
Maybe, but I wasn't being serious either way
This is my first impression of this channel and hooooooooolyyyyyy baaaaaalls it looks great
After all the bullshit development the game didn't come out good? What a shocker.
Honest, if the day ever comes, I'll love to see the ZP for Star Citizen.
I've heard rumors that the new escapist has purchased the finest ouija board money can buy so the review can take place even after his death.
Well the team is small, and it was either fixing bugs or actually progressing the game, so you can't really blame them.
Diego Diego
Is it a free game? Hmm, no, I see a price tag, even a "Deluxe" edition. I also see they received funding from multiple sources.
I'm sorry, your argument doesn't hold up. Feel free to send me $29.99 to $50.99. I'm also a small team and I can release sub-par quality products as well!
No need to get all defensive about it, im not saying it's a good game, im saying you can't really blame them.
And having lots of money doesn't change deadlines, plus you don't really know how much the company actually gave to the developers, nor if the decision to do a deluxe version was theirs.
Diego Diego
It's not being defensive, it's being realistic. Yes, you can really blame them.
Doesn't change deadlines... but you can hire people to speed things up? Do more in less time? Novel concept, I know. Again you go white knighting for these strangers, talking as if they are poor, defenseless babies in the wild. Did they read the contract before signing? So again, yes, their actions, their problem.
Why is it that people today think everyone is a victim that can't be held to account for their actions? No wonder games (and products) in general are becoming more and more shittier. Customers who used to hold creators to account now just pat them on the head and toss more money at them.
Pro tip: These guys won't improve if all you say is "You did your best, have my money". Criticism is a very important part of personal growth.

My biggest issue was that the story wasn't good, and the 'bad thing' while it was bad, was also weak and far fetch which I can say kindly about it. Design wise the masks and 60's feel is great but the story bothers me especially as it's alternative timeline. Would monty python and other past pop culture references and material be relevant to the characters in the game given britain lost ww2? It just seems odd and not immersive for the player for characters and the game to reference material that shouldn't exist in their history.
_Did_ Britain really lose WWII though? I got the impression that the rest of the world was more-or-less fine and it was only Wellington Wells that f*cked up (part of the reason they isolate themselves being that they refuse to acknowledge anything that reminds them of The Thing, up to and including the outside world itself).
At 3:08 Yahtzee proceeds to absolutely DEMOLISH the idea of a robot apocalypse with glorious logic
I'm surprised he hasn't tried picking apart a game that's been #2 now #3 in steam for 5 years 😅 Warframe would be fun to see from Yahtzees perspective.
Right? I'd bet $100 he has some "friends" that play it already and could pop in on the missions that he can't muscle through on single-player stubbornness.
Or just maybe, yahtzee has 4k hours on it and doesnt want to talk about it

Jim Sterling was a possible influence, since he was mentioning how much of a pain the status mechanic was and now it has been made to where it is a lot easier.
