Kak those tefs! Let's Play Zeno Clash

IHateMakingNames · 07-31-2011, 02:22 PM

Taking the role of Ghat, the player must battle through a dystopian world called Zenozoik, punching weird humanoid things to death as he is on the run for killing a giant bird thing. The game is in a first person perspective, and is classified as a fighter. There is heavy emphasis on melee and hand to hand fighting. There are guns, but they aren't that good and you are very prone to dropping them.

The game came out 2 years ago on PC, or 1 year ago for XBox Arcade. I recently got it on Steam for like $3, and have decided to record while I play it. So basically I'll be talking to myself and about the game as I play through it for the first time.

Here is our lead character and his dame.

And what the game will look like most of the time

I have also already started.

Wow, you suck at this. That's my favorite thing to watch!

Also, concerning "grabbing the bull by the horns," the idea isn't that you walk up to the bull and do it. The bull does the walking up, and by "walking up," I mean, "charging you at full speed, trying to gore you with his horns." You grab the bull by the horns as opposed to turning around and trying to run and getting a foot-and-a-half of horn in your back. Thought you'd like to know.

What a coincidence, I just started playing this yesterday. It's a ton of fun, though I suck at it.

I don't suppose there's anything you can do about the framerate? Other than that I look forward to more panicked flailing around.

What is wrong with the frame rate?

Perhaps not framerate in particular, but performance in general. There is some noticable frame skip occasionally, and it'd be nice if the loading screen didn't result in a lot of audio skipping on your part (i.e. at 47 seconds in). Not sure how you'd fix that one though.

Just minor issues, really.

I thought that was intentional and just a bad, annoying joke, since it happened on every loading screen.

This looks like a terrible terrible game I would never want to touch.

The loading screen seems to mess up the recording. The first video seemed to skip around with the sound, but the two I have back logged made the sound desync. Seeing as desynced sound is the worst thing imaginable in videos, I'm going to go replay those two portions and will be stopping and starting the recording before and after every loading screen.

The game is pretty fun, but after it stops introducing new moves it may get very old. Hopefully there are some neat (melee) weapons.

That is a truly amazing Snidely Whiplash mustache tattoo.
