ubisoft pricing, is just another example of the reason we dont care if devs lose their jobs. fuk em
Still holding out for those chapters
@@quantum9964 You realise they don't do chapters so you watch the whole video without skipping or they're lazy. It's all business.
Do you have ubi plus in Australia? Can play the ulti edition day 1(-3) on Xbox, GeForce now PC, Luna, all with the one sub. I play on Xbox by being a new zeelander then when a game comes out on PC on GeForce now. Btw this was always the editions Ubi had they're just 10 USD more. Either ubi plus or the discounts fixes it.
@@quantum9964 chapters just means that people are gonna fast forward without watching the video. It's cool for us but a lot of work that they actually lose money on doing.
If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing. I'll be sailing the high seas for Outlaws after seeing what they pulled with the Crew.
You are stealing from artists and creators. Get fucked with piracy.
🏴☠🏴☠🏴☠🏴☠
It'll definitely have denuvo
buying a copy of something never meant you were buying full ownership rights over the painting, poem, book, game, movie or whatever
this is why one dude can't buy one copy and just resell copies of his copy - you're not usually buying the right to reproduce things.
@@zerorigNobody is saying anything like that. And if you buy a book, or a Blu-ray, you can absolutely resell your one copy when you're done with it. What Ubisoft is doing with The Crew is essentially equivalent to breaking into your home and taking back the book you bought from them.
Star Wars Outlaws' ultimate and gold edition costs the same as 2 months worth of groceries where i live.
For me is rent
Damn that's like a week for me.
Bro lives in North Korea
I wish groceries wre that cheap that's like maybe a week for 2 people and that's skimping on the meats
Da fuck? 130 is 2 months of groceries? You live on rice, ramen and tap water?
Thanks a lot for giving exposure to the Stop Killing Games campaign. This is such an important campaign to protect consumer rights, stop Ubisoft’s bullshit and prevent any harm that the Digital Only future might bring.
He should give it exposure every week.
I still buy physical games. I like that digital is an option, but not while you're purchasing a license instead of outright owning a copy of the game. Total BS. Down with Ubisoft (and they used to be my fav developer).
Digital is not the problem, DRM is.
If you make this issue about physical vs digital you're not only wrong you're also actively harming your own cause. Physical media is dead, and digital is actually better for game preservation than physical is. DRM has always been the issue it has NOTHING to do with physical vs digital.
@@sgtbaker2072 physical games have 0 to do with game preservation, they're actually worse than digital media for that. All those physical discs of PC games from the 2000s are now UNPLAYABLE btw because stuff like securom and GFWL have gone offline years ago.
I'll repeat, stop making this issue about physical vs digital, you have no idea what you're talking about. The issue is DRM, always has been.
@@steel5897 Absolutely!!!! I own a few physical game boxes, and the medium (CD/DVD) inside is nothing more than a piece of useless plasic. Those games I spend money on are now gone. For some you can find a "solution" on-line, but others are unsalvable and gone forever.
That's the reason I avoid games with infested with kill-switch DRM (especially Denuvo) like the plague they are. In the very rare case I buy such a DRM infested game (when it's rock-bottom low price for instance) I make sure there is an "alternative" available to protect my investment. If that's not available, then my money stay's in my pocket - I am no fool...
But in 99% of the cases I only buy DRM-Free games, and if possible on my preferred store platform GOG. On that platform you can download all the game installer files to install that game at any time without the need to be on-line at all. Those installers can be used years and years after purchase, without ever becoming unusable like those physical games that became very expensive coasters.
It's hilarious that Ubisoft thinks "3-day early access" is a pre-order incentive. That's just charging extra for 3 days worth of bonus bugs that won't be patched until after launch.
This dude games.
on the other hand, it's really depressing that there are so many people with more money than sense thinking this is a good deal, and not what it really is: a complete ripoff
its been happing long enough that obviously someone finds it a good pre-order incentive as they keep doing it, its every 'AAA' game now. IMO the more egregious issue its the very obviously cut story content to sell as day 1 dlc, this unequivocally shows where their focus is with this game and means that there is no way I am ever going to pay for the game
@@TheNzFox I miss the good old $120 statue, and artbook/print medium inclusion. The Doom Eternal pre-order was so fucking good that I re-sold the most expensive part just out of preference (helmet) and STILL felt it was a rewarding purchase at almost $400. The diary, the lore book, the casette OST, the steel case. Fuckin' dope
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 yeah, physical collectors editions are really the only editions that a right to remain as you are getting something that costs to produce, everything else is cutting already made content up in order to push fomo
Game companies make these live service games, and then get frustrated at the consumer when we don’t buy it because they stop supporting it. These companies are the embodiment of the blameshifting Principal Skinner meme
They're so far out of touch it's kinda sickening
@@Konfide4043bc people are loosing these companies to be owned by rich people instead of gamers lol at least videogamedunkey is the kind of CEO we deserve, things are changing but if people weren’t so apathetic it’d be faster
I got excited when he mentioned that some Destiny developers were making a game but it died just as fast when he said battle royale
Could have been worse, could have said Live-service or Gacha game...
@@chriswihulu Battle royales are live service. Also live service isn't really a problem on its own, it's the people running it.
Yeah, you would think developers recognize an oversaturated market at this point
Battle Royal = Try to make most money
@supersploon4177 They do, but new not proven money-making ideas are too risky for investors, so they financially can't just.... make new things happen
That Unity tragedy from months ago will continue to be the funniest and most embarrassing self-own jump-on-a-rake in gaming history
I like that there's a new Star Wars game coming out, but instead of excitement, the conversation is basically "oh right, Ubisoft."
Did you miss arguably the best Star Wars game ever made? Survivor, despite tech issues, was a fucking masterpiece of Star Wars fiction.
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 No, I am aware of it. I was refering to the conversation of THIS new Star Wars game.
Star Wars in general hasn't been exciting since Disney got a hold of it.
Yeah every single star wars game is bad sorry but they are all trash. Like I could see an argument for the Lego games and older star wars games but everything since Disney has been trash
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 honestly it was okay not good
Dead Space being canned again is a real tragedy. The Deadspace remake was one of the best made games of 2023. Would have loved to see what Motive had planned for the franchise.
It’s upsetting but I had a feeling this would happen unfortunately. Western AAA gaming companies only care about profit nowadays and the Dead Space Remake didn’t sell “well enough” for them. The only AAA developer I support nowadays is Capcom since they’re the only ones who’s games still feel like the golden age of AAA gaming and haven’t fully succumbed to western greed. I like the general quality of their games and respect the way they handle microtransactions in their new Resident Evil titles. Feels very fair since you know exactly what you’re getting from the purchase and doesn’t revolve around loot boxes or gambling (looking at you Apex Legends). It’s good old microtransactions that are simply there to further support the developer if you feel like it. Also love the fact they still do singleplayer DLC expansions. That’s a huge plus in my book.
At least Dead Space had a gracious death. I'm afraid that eventually EA will have done what they and the industry has done, battle pass, season pass, or some flavor of monetization.
Last thing we need is more remakes, hopefully they can make something new instead, win for everyone, original trilogy still holds up no need for remake
As sad as i am as a long term dead space fan im happy that we at least lived to see another dead space game butter sweet fr tho
As much as another dead space game would have been great, we need to remember that visceral has been dead for years and we would have been better off leaving it in good memory than to be bastardized with today's antics
Back in 2016 I remember Blood & Wine DLC winning GOTY from some outlets
Said it once and will say it again, CDPR and Fromsoftware are the indisputed kings of amazing DLCs. Among the best in history
CD Project Red did some shady stuff with Cyberpunk 2077 that mislead people. They aren't the saints that you make them out to be, my dude. Of course they are cool when compared to something like EA or Ubisoft
@@SuperKendoman they didn't say that CDPR is the best thing everz they said they make good DLC. Which they do.
@@SuperKendoman Yes, everyone knows they fucked up with Cyberpunk. Phantom Liberty was excellent though and I still regard them as of one the best studios currently in the industry.
@@SuperKendoman I don't disagree with what you're saying but I think you didn't really read my comment, as I was focusing on DLC. Cyberpunk's DLC expansion was very well-received and not misleading in any way compared to its marketing. I will even go so far as saying Phantom Liberty is among the best DLC expansions ever.
It's hilarious hearing Ybarra advocate for _tips_ for development teams, when the company he headed paid its developers so poorly that they couldn't afford to eat at their own company's cafeteria.
Kudos for shouting out fallout London! Been following this project for a while and the level of ambition is incredible. The team has basically made a brand new fallout game from scratch almost every item is custom. They even redesigned the pip boy and its menu to make them British and lore friendly
Fallout London is a great example to how impressive mods can be. If the modders are experienced enough and the numbers are good, then mods can basically be their own games. Similar to something like squad. What started out as a battlefield fan mod (or so I’ve heard) now turned into its own game. Modding truly is a wonder
Yeah and I believe Dayz started as an Arma mod
There's also a pretty big Outer Wilds mod that adds a ton of new content and mysteries.
@@omerpockard7212 oh really! What's it called
@@alexlyster3459 I don't remember. It's listed very high in the Outer Wilds mod site.
Never got into squad, but I loved the BF2 mod from back in the day. It was called Project Reality if anyone was curious.
Did not expect SkillUp to mention MKBHD’s Humane review lmao
He’s doing it in at least in part because it boosts the video in the algorithm. It’s the same reason he mentions Taylor Swift so much. The same reason he mentioned Barbie and Oppenheimer, just like all kinds of newspapers and websites - mentioning a popular thing drives clicks. Humane is a big story of the week and Brownlee is one of the biggest RUclipsrs, so it’s two birds with one stone.
He’s doing SEO. Doesn’t mean he cares at all about the pin, but he knows it’s a big story and helpful to mention.
You’d think people would be wise to these tricks by now.
@@citizen3000I don’t really care if it’s an SEO thing, I just found it funny
@@carbonfibercarpet4655 it’s funny that you don’t understand that he’s doing it for entirely cynical reasons but sure
It’s also a rather blatant psychological trick, by expressing an extremely commonly held view he knows you will think “he’s just like me FR FR”.
@@citizen3000 zzz
@@sammyondayoutubeyeah, I rolled my eyes at the mention of Humane too. Very boring and predictable.
Using the Rule of Two to compare Ubisoft and EA is just hilarious.
EA sitting behind Ubi saying “Dew it”
I guess Ubisoft director was serious when he said people need to get comfortable with not owning their games
Also same directors who were strongly pushing use to own NFTs... just can't use it in the game they continually shut down.
And now they won't even let you keep the licence (the actual reciept) of the game they shut down.
If no one is willing to pay full price for rental games that can just disappear arbitrarily, that business model isn’t going to work out too well.
Shame, I would’ve loved to see an upgraded dead space 2.
Which could have opened up for a Dead Space 3 Remake, which still has one of my favourite weapon systems in a game.
Don't care for how they monetized it and used the scavenger Bots, I just like the idea, that an Engineer would be able to duct tape two weapons together 😂
@@chriswihulu Dead Space 3 really needed a remake. Busted crafting system aside, it was just a damn fun game. Especially if you could get a buddy to join you.
Paying game devs appropriately should be their employer's responsibility, not the consumer's. If tipping were to become a thing you can be sure that executives at big studios would cut salaries to compensate. Terrible idea.
1000000% this. Somebody fuckin' pin this comment. Ralph!
like we can afford the high ass prices to begin with these days, im sure as shit not even considering tipping for a game. when i grew up it was 50 or 60 for a game, and that was it. done deal. DLC started being a thing but they were usually story add ins that could be an easy 10hrs. now its almost expected to pay 70, then pay for 'complete edition' 30 extra, then 'year 2' for like another 50. im not paying 200 for a game, and im sure as shit not tipping when games are trying to charge that much to begin with.
im proudly sticking to only buying games 50-80% off, because full price is NOT worth that much for entertainment.
Thank you for highlighting Accursed Farms. This is such an important moment in the video games industry and it needs all the reach and support it can get.
lol. Legit had me goin' when you said Ubisoft was including 4 copies of Balatro to give to friends with preorder bonus for Star Wars Outlaws. Was thinking, "Daaaang. That is a WILD partnership for them to have-...oh. Of course."
We are in the same boat. The boat has "special boat for special boys" written on it. We are not allowed to leave the boat. Nice boaty boat.
I literally don't miss a single week of this show. It's like a tradition.
Literally?
Btw the tech bros being mad is hilarious 😂. Its very similar when people get mad in the video games community, you hit the nail on the head there. Coz if a product is bad it's bad. Can't blame reviewers for being honest. Its actually refreshing when reviewers are honest and do their jobs rather than getting paid or getting free products in exchange for favourable reviews which has now plagued so many industries.
the tech bros are even more obnoxious somehow. at least games have some amount of art involved meaning different games can appeal to different people despite obvious flaws. tech is pure product. why are they so emotionally attached?
@@dingus2k I doubt they're 'emotionally attached'.
@@OrionDawn15 bro literally quoted the hippocratic oath to argue why you shouldn't give a product a bad review, extremely emotional
@@OrionDawn15 lol i mean fair but they react very emotionally as if it’s a piece of cherished art and not just some hunk of junk
@@dingus2kthey probably took out a mortgage to invest in it
Uh, did we watch the same Star Wars Outlaws trailer? Most people I've seen commented on how rough the animation and graphics looked and how mid the gameplay felt.
Shill has to push 'the message' not because he's compelled to do so, but because he wants to as he's an actual 'true believer' in the Marxist takeover of games.
Also, what the hell is up with the protagonist's eyes? Bug eyed chick.
Um, people can have differing opinions?
Larian are a class act and I hope they stay that way for a long time. It's nice to see that some people understand how to make a profit without gouging everyone for all they've got and that your rep in the industry is far more important for long term sustainability, but that is also because Larian in its current form is thinking about long-term plans.
The anecdote about the buying stuff out of promises of future support is spot on.
One day we will get silksong segment in This week in Videogames
And it will be 6 days after every other outlet, because that's just the way the news goes with this man 😂
@@dropkickpherby6994 🤣 I wouldn't have it any other way
"But it is not THIS day."
-Aragon, son of Arathorn
Silksong were the friends we made along the way
Crazy to think that the entirety of Elden Ring’s cycle (including a long-awaited DLC) was contained within Silksong’s.
Am I trippin or did they miss Stellar Blade in the launching next week section?
Stellar Blade has sexy feminine ladies in it, so by default shill has to take the commie stance of 'hot chick's bad'.
Stellar Blade was indeed not mentioned, and it does come out next Friday, so you're right.
Side note: it looks awesome. Can't wait for PC.
Mike Ybarra was basically like "Here's my cash app"...
Thank you for mentioning the Crew this week!
Skill up in the morning is better than morning coffee
11 pm here 😂
Afternoon tea SkillUp for me!
With the coffee for the win! 🥴
Wow, he's good, but let's spew heresy. 😂
What about morning sex?
I was literally playing blasphemous 2 as i watched this, learning larian did that is so cool what a legendary studio
I watched their documentary on the making of it and they were having a LOT of money issues
I chuckled at the “ always two there are..” lol good one
I clapped when I recognised the reference
remember when 70 dollars was like a collectors edition for a game
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
@@comradeinternet467lmao
Or for a first party SNES game
I mean prices are always gonna go up
@@kingsley3208they’ve barely gone up in over 20 years.
Try looking up how much in relative terms games were back in the N64 era.
I still remember getting borderlands 2 with the season pass because I knew that in 3 months when I'm still working on completing every quest that I know they will release essentially 3 additional small games worth of content. Now if I look at a new release game it's $70 plus a $60 season pass with absolutely no chance that the dlc content is anything but cut content because they released the game 1 1/2 years early and broken.
Hot take: Ubisoft has shown with their major Assassin's Creed titles that they're capable of making giant DLCs that add up to a solid expensive season pass.
But the 20 additional dollars for cosmetics and the potential for the season pass to not include all content still makes it kinda BS.
@@omerpockard7212 That said it does differ wildly from game and in-house team that makes the games.
Far Cry and Watch Dogs have shown their DLC plans go completely get delayed and deliver a "mid" experience for the most part that very few players stick around for.
I was able to buy it for $58 from Green Man Gaming with my gold account and a voucher. I'll buy dlc after it's all released and only if it's worth it. Aint no way I'm paying ubi anything over $60!
You guys just talk to talk 😂 everything back in the day was better huh. Because you only remember the good parts. Borderlands 2 released at $50 in 2012. That’s $68.02 in today’s money. Outlaws is $69.99. So borderlands was about $2 cheaper. And then the season pass was another $40 at release. Thats $54.07 in today’s money. So Borderlands 2 was $120 for the game and season pass in today’s money. Outlaws is $110 for the season pass and game. The $130 version comes with extra cosmetics but isn’t needed
I've experienced some games that left me wanting to support the developers more but tbh I've never felt that way about $70 games.....this has generally happened with smaller indie developers that are charging $20, $30 or $40 for their game and some of them actually have supporter dlc bundles that add some minor cosmetics, which is kind of a way of having a tipping system without having a tip system. There have also been cases where I played a game on game pass and loved it so much that I bought the game in steam, with the intention of playing it again in the future. (Lookin at you Haven)
Ubisoft wanting pre-orders and removing The Crew from costumers libraries without permission is peak modern gaming. Btw, Dead Space deserves better!
It would be an absolute crime if EA doesn’t allow Motive to continue with Dead Space after how stellar the remake was. We can only hope we hear something about a Dead Space 2 remake after Motive finishes their Iron Man game.
Just a correction on the prince of persia game, its evil empire, motion twin was the other studio, you got them combined :)
I remember that they said that if you preorder Dead Space that you would get Dead Space 2 WHEN it released, not if. That was the only reason I preordered, I feel like no one has mentioned that or am i just losing my mind?
I feel like Ubisoft taking The Crew licenses away from users is due to the Accursed Farms campaign. In order to support the cause you have to show proof you owned the game at some point to compile evidence. So Ubisoft being Ubisoft decided "You know what? I'm taking away all evidence"
I wonder if EA was stupid and expected the Deadspace Remake to sell like 10 million copies or something. The Deadspace Remake is definitely great and lives up to the hype in my opinion, but it's not a game for everyone because not everyone likes horror games so I wasn't expecting the game to sell like 10 million copies.
On Star Wars Outlaws, I'm not getting it at all since it's being made from Ubisoft. If I do get it, it'll be when it's heavily discounted.
I'm sorry to tell you, but EA is indeed stupid.
Also apparently Motive didn't want to do remakes, but rather take Dead Space into their own direction. Take that with a grain of salt, I remember hearing about that but I don't remember where. Eh... as long as they can pull it off?
I adore the Original Dead Space but IMO its not even that old and holds up so had 0 interest in a remake.
@@frankylampard3931 The remake does look excellent and improvements were made to many sections of the game, especially in the zero-g and outside areas of the ship.
As remakes go, it's one of the better ones.
It doesn’t really matter what their expectations were, if it didn’t meet it’s sales targets based on the cost of developing it plus marketing it, then they’re not going to be interested in a sequel.
Given the insane expectations of gamers nowadays towards AAA games it was never going to be cheap to develop.
This idea of publisher expectations has become sort of magical spell in the minds of some people, whereby some gamers seem to think that if a publisher just set their expectations lower than the game would magically become a success regardless of whether the sales are enough to recoup all the expenses.
They could have spent less on the remake by giving it less fancy graphics and sound, or by not bothering with new additions like making the Ishimura one consistent play space.
But then *those* gamers (you know the ones) would have complained that it didn’t have good enough graphics and it hadn’t added anything over the original in terms of features and it would have sold even less.
Only you are stupid here. This is popular franchise or was popular... And poor sales of this an amazing remake are a big shame for current gamers community.
Fully packed with lots of varied news and info! Thank you Ralph and the entire SkillUp Team, your work is very much appreciated.
You make it sound like the Fallout: London devs were blindsided, but they knew full well it was coming since Bethesda announced this Fallout 4 next-gen update back in Oct'2022. The biggest reason why ambitious mods like this break is because of their heavy dependence on the FO4 Script Extender tool which is maintained by other modders in their spare time, so pausing the launch was the right thing to do since it'll be hard to predict exactly how long it'll take to update.
Ah man. Really wanted Dingo Elysium to be good.
Im Just going to concentrate on my substantial backlog now.
Thank you so much for covering fallout london. It’s easily my most anticipated game of 2024, with such a great voice cast.
I can’t wait to play it when f4se and other crucial mods are updated
We used to get physical art books, physical sound tracks, collectibles, and figurines for buying deluxe editions.
Regarding "tipping" - I did something like that for Baldur's Gate- I upgraded to the digital deuxe edition. That said, that is the first and likely the last time I'll ever feel that urge and I 1000% would not trust any major published with that money.
I did the same thing! I just wanted to give Larian more money they haven’t made DOSIII yet so….
Baldur's Gate is certainly a game that has lessons about when to indulge or deny one's...Urge.
Lawbreakers could absolutely come back. Phantasy Star Universe shutdown over 10 years ago but a private custom server is up and running for anyone to use.
Just found this channel. This weekly update is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Subbed and for the one of the first times I’m turning the notifications on alongside the subscribe.
I'm very surprised there was no mention of manor lords. Maybe next week?
Love the Outer Wilds mention all these years later hahaha
That's his all time fav game, so ofc.
He brings it up constantly lol
00:48 Uncle Ben's Hippocratic Oath.
Always look forward to your videos on my midnight drive home from work every Wednesday night. Cheers fellas! 👍🏽 Love your work.
Plz tell me you're not watching videos while driving, at night, after a long day's work…just listening, right?
@@sgtbaker2072 of course
Congrats on 1 mil. Been watching you since the Division 1 days. Much deserved
I couldn't imagine paying anything for a Ubisoft game, let alone $130. I probably wouldn't even play this game if it were free.
You would 100% play this game if free - stop being dramatic.
Yes it's a rip off, but less hyperbole please
@@cceffecttons of free games I haven't played. What makes ubisoft so special?
@@cceffect Not that unheard of, I had Ubisoft AC Origins cracked on my PC for 5 years without starting the game once until I deleted it. I don't buy Ubisoft games anymore, and even when I can simply crack them, I don't bother doing it. Even if they gave the game for free, I would claim it sure, but I wouldn't bother installing it or playing it. There's way better indie games to play.
Ubisoft as a company is utter trash, and their products are low quality with poor vision and designed to buy microtransactions. It's not Ubisoft from AC2 era, even tho back then they still were dogshit, just less so.
Jesus you nerds are so dramatic. No wonder you're all depressed.
I've certainly gotten comfortable with not owning a Ubisoft game, and I'm not about to start now
the studio on The Rogue Prince of Persia is called evil empire not evil twin
16:50 Likewise, with that logic, players should be able to ask for a refund or at least get a portion of their money back if the game turns out to be a waste of time upon completing.
Thanks Ralph! Here's some engagement.
I don't know when AAA died but it must have at some point for basic midline indie games to put them to shame. Compared to Halo 1 or COD4 MW, Helldivers 2 has some ground to cover but compared to Halo infinite or COD MW3 (remake) it's amazing.
Nowadays it seems the less A's the better the game is 😅
@@Aisaaax More dollars, less sense.
Halo Infinite is amazing too. You haven't played it, right?
@@Aisaaaxthe As stand for ASS.
@@LogicalError007 Ah memory holing, it should be good off launch with all its modes, no excuses. But you don't have standards, right?
I actually love these videos, do good to have everything summed up nicely in one easy watch!
I had no idea about London gonna keep an eye on it
For the 110 USD gold tier of Outlaws you are not playing 3 days earlier. You are playing 3 days later on the standard base tier.
Asmongold correctly pointed out when responding to the Mike Ibarra post that the $10-$20 tip you might want to leave could be spent on merchandise for the game
This! This is the way!
This is my method for anime.
Legal streaming in the west absolutely sucks and very little of it goes to the source of the industry, especially the shows you actually like. You can instead just pirate everything and then spend an equivalent amount of money on merchandise.
Yeah but they’d make a lot more money from a direct tip. Merchandise costs money, quite a lot of money.
You could buy a t shirt and the studio might only end up seeing $3 from that. If you send them a $20 tip then, uh, they get $20, perhaps minus some small payment processing costs.
I’m totally down for tipping for good games. I would also expect these companies to tip me for wasting my time on their garbage as well.
Oh wait they won’t do that? Weird.
As i f merch money would somehow end up with the developers lol. This is no better.
why does he never add chapters to his videos?
Congrats on the million subs my guy! Well done. Love your content
29:10 Given the recent track record kf 3D Realms? You're joking right? The Kingpin remaster, Wrath, Graven. Theyve been crapping out unfinished releases (some of which were in Early Access for years) for months now so they can show they've been shipping things since they were trying to avoid being shut down by Embracer. Most of the community has zero confidence that Phantom Fury will be any good, especially given how atrocious the demo was.
He forgot to say the name of No rest for the wicked. I usually listen to these so needed to look on my phone what he was talking about since it sounds great. 27:11
They didn’t even fix the major traversal stutter issues on PC in the first Dead Space Remake that made it really unbearable for some ppl to play. (People have different sensitivity to it, it’s there for everyone and was proved by digital foundary). I wish they did thou.
Jedi survivor also from EA had the EXACT same issues and weren’t fixed. So I doubt a dead space 2 would not have these issues for PC anyway :/
Watching these videos has become an integral part of my week, thank you for all the time and effort you and your team put into making these
I didnt even know he had a review out for it. Went to gi check it out then came back. Thank you for the heads-up
So many dead-on-arrival games rushed out every year and DEAD SPACE gets the boot? The AAA industry ain't dying man, it's dead.
It's fine. Dead Space is trash anyways. Always was.
@@intellectic9155all you do is grift people, nobody cares about your opinion
Dead Space is literally Space Resident Evil 4 but sure keep yapping man
@@ghhgafzanYou say that like it's a bad thing
Maybe not release a technical mess on PC?
I can’t wait to buy Star Wars Outlaws for $30 a few months after it launches.
I honestly dont think this number is accurate anymore. $70 is usually $35 or $40 on sale now if even that.
No, never buy this woke shit.
I can't wait to just take it. Without paying anything cause ubisoft has a track record of taking back games people paid for.
@@Ehh..... Don't over exaggerate lol
@@DV-ou1yu I'm not, skillup literally talks about the crew licenses that people bought being revoked in this very video.
At this point a lone penny is far much more money than ubisoft deserves out of anyone.
@accursedfarms is a legend. Really glad you shouted out his campaign.
Thanks for the heads up about Star Wars Outlaws. I'll be buying 9 more copies of Outer Wilds instead as you suggested.
Broken Roads got the same IGN rating as Gollum did lmao
Super pumped to wishlist star wars outlaws and buy it at a discount in a year or 2!
With all the DLC too boot!
Thank you as always for the amazing video time and effort. I appreciate all that you and your team do.
14:20 The Risk of Rain IP went with Gearbox proper to 2K.
I predict that Ubisofts SW Outlaws will be basically Ghetto version of Smugglers Story Questline in SW The Old Republic...
The perfect thing to listen to while I do nothing at work
facts
Geoffrey, your reports are over due.
Now slide into the toilet and watch from there for 30 min and you will be god status.
Hear hear
No rest for the wicked has been on my wishlist. Glad to see you highlight it here.
It's crazy how I have never heard a bad thing about Larian Studios...
Literally the only company I can think of like that. Even making monetary contributions to other great games like Blasphemous and we would have never known if it weren't for one of their devs shouting them out... My favorite company in gaming since DOS
The backlash was brutal. But will it be brutal enough to force change? To stop people buying pre orders? I hope so, but I doubt it..
With big franchises, you will always find a group that is plagued with FOMO and will take whatever slop is thrown at their feet.
Just look at Pokémon Scarlet and Violet...
It won't be.
Consumers gonna consume.
nothing will change lol. gamers are f*cking morons and will keep pre-ordering games even if every reviewer tells them it sucks and the developers directly tell you not to pre-order it.
People will complain and still buy it, this is how it always is.
I've never once regretted a pre-order. I think it just comes down to how tight your purse-strings are. You're statistically more likely to make more informed purchasing choices when you have a tighter budget.
Marques's only mistake was not going harder
He’s too kind
Ralph you should get Scott Ross (accursed farms) on your podcast as a guest. He is awesome.
You got me on the intro mate, very funny ****, 9 copies of Outer Wilds really does put that in perspective!
When it comes to “Digital Deluxe Editions”, I don’t mind paying a few extra bucks to get the soundtrack (if it’s good) BUT Digital art books should be unlocked after you’ve finished a game.
For that price tag I'd expect a physical book that's been signed by the voice actors and contaibs a DVD with a 30+ minute "Making Of" documentary. Not a PDF some intern made using concept art that was created for the game anyway during development.
@@KryyssTV I’m more taking about an extra $10-$15 that regular game developers charge. I bought the extra stuff for BG3 (mostly for the DOS2 stuff) if you’re charging more than that, you can suck the life and joy right out of my butthole. BUT that’s just my opinion. I really like the work that goes into a great musical score in good video games.
Will Larian live long enough to become the villian?
CD Projekt did, but they've worked hard to get back to the light and have redeemed themselves in my opinion. Hopefully Larian will have the sense (and lack of shareholders) to not go down that same route.
@@Jorquay lol, CD Projekt red was the example i was thinking of when i wrote it.
Cheers for another video bub,
Much love to you, Stew Austin and Edmond
Take care folks x
When everyone does tricks and underhanded tactics, all you need to do is just to deliver standard package with no bs and you already had an advantage all other things being equal
What even is an AI pin, and who thought that would sell…
I never played FO4 when it came out so since all the games on sale on steam for quite cheap, I picked it up knowing the wide-screen support was coming. Forgot all about the London mod.. Sucks that years-later updates like this break mods :/
Bethesda is just being fucking annoying at this point. The mods are far more important than whatever bullshit half assed lazy update they got coming up
It's because Fallout: London is dependent on another mod called F4 Script Extender which basically hacks the Fallout 4 executable to add extra functions they want. After the patch, F4SE will get updated, and then the devs can retest the mod for release. This has happened many times in the past, so there's nothing shocking about any of this. It wasn't out of the blue either; Bethesda announced the FO4 next-gen update back in 2022, so it was expected, but just not exactly when.
@@tronam Thanks for the clarification. Sounds like it may not end up adding a ton of work for the London team. I hope anyway.
The animation industry podcast has a great interview with the art director from Harold Halibut if you love those visuals
Just missed that Nintendo Indie World showcase 😂😭
Let’s lock the most famous gangster character in Star Wars behind a paywall!
Whatever little hype people had for this game died, rip outlaws 2024-2024.
I'm honestly still not over "Somehow, Palpatine survived", but that might just be me 😂😅😢
Ayyy RUclips event of the week
Monstudios art is so gorgeous both Ori games are wonderful, but I'm so glad they get to try something new.
20:50 Evil twin did not wrap up support of Dead Cells for Prince of Persia, they got forced to stop dev work by Motion Twin.
