This is one of my favourite reviews of his so far, azbsolutely excellent. Mind you, I say that about most of his reviews. :D

I remember this guy from when he did them on Youtube (all two of them :p) He's awesome

Nice, keep them coming. Excellent as usual.

@Flawless101: Same here, hehe. Then he shamelessly sold out and went to escapist. :P

As always, bloody brilliant.

I was hoping he would review crysis!!!1!1!1

I wasn't disapointed!

I love Zero Punctuation!! My PS3 Theme is a Zero punctuation based one!!

Columbo. Holy shit, now I DO have a mancrush on Croshaw!

Racism? In Farcry? Did I miss something?

Hah! The BFG and Night vision goggles bit was pretty funny. I never got past the stupid Ewok-village bit in the PC Far Cry, which if memory serves, was like an hour into the game, but the scenery was pretty when I wasn't getting slapped around mercilessly.

Then again, I'm part of a very small subgroup when I say I really enjoyed the Xbox version of Far Cry.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying Crysis. Doing decent upgrade on the PC at the moment, and once I climb out of videocard selection hell, I plan on giving it a shot.

Hahaha, he just keeps on putting out quality. This made my workday just a tab bit more manageable.

@kelptocratic: Oh wow someone else who liked the Xbox version. The multiplayer was good fun and the single player was fun until the game decided that very dark colors and "scares" were what I needed. It was a lot better when it was all tropical and bright out.

my ribs the hurt from the laughter. Yahtzee is a good man for sure.

Not as highly amazing as some of his other ones, but top notch!

@Brian Crecente:

Haha. I remember watching that show when I was little. I wonder what happened to Peter Falk.

Yahtzee is the king!!! Another awesome review.

Crysis is awesome, just need to fix up the multiplayer

@MasterOfPastures: Im guessing he might be talking about number 2 which isnt out yet. The one that takes place in Africa. At least thats what I hope hes talking about.

Asides from that this one has got to have had some of the best little original "art" of his yet!

Oh my god it hurts...

I'm seriously going to die laughing, ow

I just ate too ><

This one I throughly enjoyed. His best one of the new year.

@dead_red_eyes: Wikipedia [en.wikipedia.org] says he hasn't done a whole lot. A few movies, a Broadway play, a cameo in a film.

@Witzbold: My guess (and I really have no idea, no having played it) is that there's probably some "Engrish" in re: North Korean soldiers.

Wow.

My first time clicking thru to a zero punctuation clip. Amazing. Definitely won't be my last.

While not my favorite Zero Punctuation in terms of the review, as I have no opinion of Crysis whatsoever (MAC and a PC from the stone age of computers... 2002?), however, the ending music MORE than made up for it. It is my belief that everything should involve at least one Electric Six song (and if it shows the video too, then it HAS to be Gay Bar). In any case, insanely amusing visual misinterpretations as per usual make me a happy panda!

Irony be it that my awesome gaming PC I won from Joystiq comes today.

I have Crysis sitting on my desk, ready to be installed.

Teehee, Shawshank Redemption reference was funny. Shame I don't have the money for Crysis and my soul is reserved for more evil things.

@Hitokage: Grats man! What kind of system did they hook you up with?

LMFAO that was funny.

Absolutely brilliant if only for the Columbo reference.

Well, it was automatically a winner for me the second I heard Island in the Sun to start out. Gotta love Weezer. How about a Guitar Hero version? But I digress ...

It's cosmic, because I finally bought Crysis this morning, accepting my medium settings limitations with the knowledge that my future rig will be able to run the game in all its glory.

It was the demo that eventually changed my mind and warranted the purchase, as it was too much fun to sneak up, grab a guy by the throat, trigger the strength suit, and toss his ass airborn. I also love sneaking up to a settlement, triggering the strength suit, and knocking fucking buildings down.

It really is a great sandbox-style FPS (sandbox in the sense that you have to figure out your plan of attack, which can differ greatly based upon the enemies/environments/chosen suit powers. I'm having a great time with it thus far.

Crysis is probably the only new gen FPS (besides metroidprime3) i would like to play, mostly to see the graphics, but i agree with yatzee the game should not be like all the recent fps with a linear progress and more like bf1942 where you can roam around the level...

MS Flight Simulator..LOL...
Solving a rubicks cube with your elbows xD
My coworkers must think ive lost it...

I love crumpets, but I'm not evil or dead. The night is young, however.

@Witzbold: I'm assuming it's the same "racism" card that some people tried to pull from the RE5 teaser. You only kill one race of people, so it must be racist!

@bluesquareapple: To say that a game is racist or not, is how the story of the game in managed as you progress rather than the ethnical origins of the enemy or fellow caracters...

Great review lol. "sneak up behind enemies and give them a wedgie" :P

Nah, the review is pretty accurate tbh. "Looks good but boring," or maybe that was just my opinion :D

i do most of my blog reading at work, so this is actually the first time i've watched any of the zero punctuation videos. since watching i've spent about half an hour catching up on what i've been missing. i <3 this man and his disregard for punctuation. in a completely hetero kind of way.

@bluesquareapple: The RE5 trailer received the criticism because of who YOU were. If you were a black operative killing black people, nothing would have happened. I hate starting arguments, but your analysis does not give critics enough credit. No doubt there were many who, as you said, jumped the minute they saw a single black person. But, there is also justifiable quarrel with the premise.

Similarly in Crysis, it is also because of the nationality the player assumes. Much like in RE4/5, it creates (to some) the impression of racial superiority. You and I might be smarter than to believe such nonsense ourselves, but some critic and quite possibly the game designers themselves, may not be.

I just hope I got a good enough PC to run this when this game goes in the bargain bin after a year or two. Because frankly, I think none of us will be able to run it even after that time.

Also, funny how everyone loves Yahtzee's reviews when they're not about Mario, Zelda, or some other much-loved franchise. =D

@kelptocratic:

This. Still waiting on FedEx though... I should just drive around til I find one near me and tackle the dude. XD

Great review from Zero Punctuation, as always. I finally got Crysis working smoothly on high settings. Of course, it took 4 gigs of PC 8500 ram to do it on Vista, but what can you do.

These reviews are great, I've definitely become a fan. I really like how if the game is good he gives it two sentences and then proceeds to rip the game a new one for the rest of the review. No final scores just a good 'ole ripping for a few minutes followed by a concise opinion on if the game falls into the garbage bin or is worth a try.

It's definitely a talent to be able to tear into a game like he does and still not offend most of the fans, because if you are a fan and have played the game much you probably also noticed the glaring little issues that even the best games have. The Mario Galaxy review is a shining example of Yahtzee's quality reviews.

... and Racism.

Two claps. I enjoy this dog from down under. I will probably never be able to enjoy Crysis.

loLOLoLOL!!!!!!!!
Awesome WORK!

I have a 3 year old computer with 1 gig of RAM and it played perfectly fine (except during the last fight) with 1024*768 and everything on medium. I don't understand all the bitching. You don't have to max everything - it still looks great! I prefer the gameplay in CoD4 and HL, though. Still, it was fun until the aliens showed up (which thankfully is at the end of the game).

Very entertaining. I was starting to lose faith in Yahtzee's wit and comedic timing. That loss of faith was obviously unwarranted.

@Hitokage: Wow. Hot shit.

On the subject of PC crap, does anyone own/have experience with the 8800GTS 512 (G92 Core)? I'm killing myself trying to decide between the 8800GT 512 or the GTS. Does the +$50 for the GTS just buy better cooling, or is there a clock/shader increase as well?

Note to self: Do not watch Zero Punctuation videos while brushing teeth.

That being said, this was definitely one of my favourites. While I've yet to even see a computer that can run Crysis, it makes it all the better than I can still find this review hilarious.

He definitely is slowing down on these reviews i no longer have to watch it twice to get everything he says.

What gets me is that once I have finished listening to one of his vids, I always read everything inside my head to his zero punctuation voice. Its really annoying!

@Thanatos-: or maybe you are getting used to his faster method of speaking. As a fellow mile-a-minuter, I find that people who have known me for a while can understand me better than strangers.

I'm so happy that he used that creepy painting with the children and the hands. I'd be very appreciative if one of you learned fellows could tell me what that painting is called.

No mention of the weird and buggy enemy AI?! What happened Yahtzee!?
