I don't remember hearing about the dystopian hell the United states was in the 60's where hundreds of fuel tankers inexplicably managed to park sideways in the middle of the road and biker pirates roamed free.
Well you can thank the US GOVERNMENT for covering that up with their lies and deceit The great fuel tanker road blockage movement of the 1960s continues to be a hot topic today, thanks to this great game
Just noticed one of the bikers - not him on his bike, but as a separate entity - explode during the fight that starts around 31:40. This game is glorious.
So they immediately off the kid? Well that went nowhere, I really felt for that lad. All that character development and dead. I'm also posting from a mirror universe.
If you want a biker game i would suggest gta4: the lost and damned, even when it first came out it was like half the price of this and it also has the advantage of being non-shitty
I love that the Devil's Hand, whose entire purpose in this story is to eliminate the family of William "Toledo" Conway, don't react at ALL to the gigantic patch on the front of Mikey's jacket that says "TOLEDO", which stares them in the face for multiple minutes, but then they all go crazy when they see a mere glimpse of a realistically unclear Retribution symbol on the back of the same jacket, comparatively obscured by both distance and Jake's arm.
Yes, Jeff and Vinny are red/green colorblind. I don't know any specific video where it's mentioned, but they've brought it up several times on the podcast when talking about games that have an emphasis on color, like Antichamber.
One of the reasons why I like this episode is that it's pretty much silent in the studio apart from Vinny and Jeff talking so it really emphasizes how awful the sound design of this game is. A good chunk of it is just dead quiet.
1:12:19 I don't know what was funnier, the old man falling off the bike during the explosion/crash, or the laughter that went with it right before the guy said, "What the fuck just happened!?"
I had the stop at 34:40 You beat up the mechanics ex-husband, stole his keys then had sex with her in his home while he's unconscious on the front lawn. Oh God.
The weird part is that I feel like this game actually had potential to be something really cool but it was just so half-assed in the execution that it ended up being something legendary... Legendarily bad, that is.
Ahh yes, having a conversation with your buddy while you're riding motorcycles. Totally happens all the time, the wind and engine sound definitely doesn't make it difficult or anything.
Haha. So it kinda looks like at 1:12:13 that the enemies shot and killed the driver, so he lost control and crashed the bike or something. It would have been nice if there was some cue, but it wouldn't have been near as entertaining.
Why does the music go Bullet Time after every headshot? Cause it's cool! Indeed. I dig it. And then the music just bugs out for, like, 15 minutes. Changed the mood, completely. I'm guessing, in a twist that makes as much sense as the rest of the game, Big Boss Man is Mack. Or the lost brother, because Mack is probably their father, really... Ah, WHO CARES??
They really should've turned this into an endurance run.
I seriously must have watched this QL about 50 times lol I always come back to it for a good laugh
Same
"You ain't even healed from that powerslide you did."
"Powerslide's nothin', Mack." lol
"That's how sex happens Jeff."
"No I know. I played Grand Theft Auto San Andreas."
GOLD!!!
49:20 That's video games right there.
1:11:55 - 1:12:30 is my favorite Quick Look moment ever lol... never ceases to crack me up.
You can hear Drew lose it although he is not using a microphone or even in the same room. Ride To Hell has earned its place in videogame history.
dodofro I love vinny's slightly whimpery laugh.
Its superb game to teach at game design schools.
On how not to make a game.

Sounds like a classic Texan LBJ move to make, tbh.
This video is my happy place

Vinny dropping the controller always makes me laugh.
"Powerslide's nothing, Mack."
I often come back to this video, just for the beginning so I can hear vinny scream
One of the all time classic Quick Looks!
That 1% in the logo represents the percentage of positive reviews it had on Steam
WOW...this dialog is like The Room with motorcycles...
That would be pretty sweet.
*It was the anarchy era of the 60s...*
34:32 "Did you hurt him" HE'S UNCONSCIOUS RIGHT BEHIND YOU
What a wonderful game that unites all critics on the same front like no other!
This is my favourite quick look
1:03:39 Octodad trying to blend in, here in the anarchy era of the 1960's.
Right before he had sex with the mechanic, he got an achievement called "Slide it In" lmao
This game gives me the creeps.
Vinny's constant compulsion to go WEEEEEOOOOWWWW makes me so happy
"Prostitute and biker struggle audio" is a great phrase.

The gaming world needs a word for its own version of a B movie, because that's basically what this is and I hope it becomes its own genre.
song in the menu is "Rival Sons - Pressure & Time". Its rad as hell.
Let's go listen to Bands! I love Bands!
“That’s video games right there.”

greatest quick look ever

Oh god I fucking completely lost it at the big masked peek-a-boo guy
"Yo, book reader!" Vinny is killing it :)
I dig the music
Too bad it seems like all of the budget went into getting the music.
There's the quote for the box.
"That's 'video games' right there." -- Jeff Gerstmann
I love Vinny and Jeff. They're like the Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie of Gaming.
A lot about Mikey kinda reminds me of Jar Jar Binks
"You don't seem to understand how bad I want drugs!"
I love how y'all knew right away that Mikey was doomed 😂 Beautiful.
Tain't you.
"This game is pretty great!" - Vinny Caravella, Giant Bomb
This QL is right up there with Euro Truck Simulator 2 and Rogue Warrior
"This is how sex happens Jeff."
"I'm not stupid, I've played San Andreas."
I nearly lost my head laughing.
I think this is the best quick look I've ever seen.
Pay your respects to Ryan Davis. Great guy, he wasn't even started :/
i love how the chairs change colour as he interacts with them, that's Dragonball Z design.
Besides Contradiction, this is my all time favorite QL!
19:38 Should I laugh at what Jeff is saying here or Vinny laughing at the dumb AI drivers? I just laughed at two things simultaneously!
Whats up with the very first frame of this vid?
+Storm Owen They do a countdown so they know when to start, they just didn't cut it out.. Also, Mr. Caffeine.
there playing it on pc
Dan Ryckert's doing a live stream playing through this whole game right now.
This was peak GiantBomb. It's so sad to see where it is now.
It wasn't until Drew chimed in and told Vinny there are red barrels did I remember that both Jeff and Vinny can't see the colour red.
1:12:19 I don't know what was funnier, the old man falling off the bike during the explosion/crash, or the laughter that went with it right before the guy said, "What the fuck just happened!?"
As i was watching this, i snored and woke myself up, way to go Deep Silver you've greenlit a cure for insomnia.
I'm almost entirely certain that Tyrell Jones has the same voice actor who did Big Bo.
God i sincerely hope Bro Team does a video review of this!!!
Soon as I saw a run time of close to an hour and a half, I knew Vinny would be involved.
Is this game the next Deadly Premonition? I think they should rename this video to Ride to Hell: Retribution: Endurance Run Part 1
Oh man, I am SO getting this and Motorbike!
There was less blood (none) when they slit Mikey's throat than when they hit him in the face with that gun. HMMMMMMM
This game is so underrated. So fun. Best game I've ever played. Shits on TLoU and GTA V. I wonder why this wasn't nominated for Game of the Year.
lolwat
Look at this game dude...it looks beast.
Khaotic👑King this game is nothing but a piece of shit.
Shid
>Take too much damage
>Mack passes out and randomly drives into a wall.
Yup. Game of the year indeed
seems like what would happen if someone attempted a remake of road rash
I can't help but notice that this game is missing most of its sound effects.
Why is Michelle Trachtenberg in the loadinscreen art?
The hands are so ridiculously huge.
They don't say it in the video but both Vinny and Jeff are color blind.
This looks like something that came out EIGHT years ago.
"That's video games right there."
So wait are you telling me the 60s were filled with bro choppers?
It's like MST3K meets video game reviews... Just awesome
This game seems like a prime Endurance Run candidate, legit.
This game was obviously created to be a crowd pleaser.
"Did you hurt him?"
No, he's just laying in a bloody heap behind me for the LOLZ.
The voice sounds a bit like Special Agent Francis York Morgan.
I smell the next Endurance Run only ten minutes in.
Best Quick Look ever.
I had the stop at 34:40
You beat up the mechanics ex-husband, stole his keys then had sex with her in his home while he's unconscious on the front lawn. Oh God.
FRESH OFF THE BUS "THEY DREW FIRST BLOOD!" I LOLED SO HARD!
The weird part is that I feel like this game actually had potential to be something really cool but it was just so half-assed in the execution that it ended up being something legendary... Legendarily bad, that is.
Its cool that this game starts with a Rival Sons song
Ahh yes, having a conversation with your buddy while you're riding motorcycles. Totally happens all the time, the wind and engine sound definitely doesn't make it difficult or anything.
Mummoy
THE BOTTOM LINE -- Ride to Hell: Retribution is wheelie good. 10/10 goty
No one's mentioned the fact that the scenery looks consistently awesome.
53:38 I'm pretty sure that second name on that paper is "Mr. Hugh Dicks"
Haha. So it kinda looks like at 1:12:13 that the enemies shot and killed the driver, so he lost control and crashed the bike or something. It would have been nice if there was some cue, but it wouldn't have been near as entertaining.
so...what is that intro picture?
I lost my shit so hard at wisler blowing up on the motorcycle. Fuckin game of the year right there.
what happened to company of heroes
ER the rest of this game please.
The sad thing is that this is actually a cool concept for a video game.
This is $50 in Australia... bloody hell.
You know your game is doomed when both Jeff and Vinny don't get the title of it right.
Why does the music go Bullet Time after every headshot? Cause it's cool! Indeed. I dig it. And then the music just bugs out for, like, 15 minutes. Changed the mood, completely.
I'm guessing, in a twist that makes as much sense as the rest of the game, Big Boss Man is Mack. Or the lost brother, because Mack is probably their father, really...
Ah, WHO CARES??
My dishwasher sounds more powerful than the motorcycle sound effects.
3:48 Wait, is that the same pack of cigarettes? No way this was ten days earlier.
