If you guys want to check out Easy Red 2, click the link below! Had to talk about some shit in this video so I hope you guys enjoyed it! Easy Red 2: store.steampowered.com/app/1324780/Easy_Red_2/
Bro I may not even have a PC Good enough to play your game . I'm still gonna buy it. Been watching u for 5 years . Always gonna support what you do brother
@Jon-Bon Zombie Same, but fortunately for me I will have/& do have a pc to run the game but I know what you mean. I am a huge supporter of Drdisrespct as well so in the game Rogue Agents. I PURCHASED the Drdisrespct Skin & didnt play the game really at all. Just enjoyed the skin and also supporting the two time! But this is even better because HONESTLY Drdisrespct don't need my measly 20 bucks I spent on the package deal in Rogue Angel's Online Skin/Currency store. But with Big_Frys game it's a more close nit type of scenario like Fry don't really need my measly $20 dollars either but, it's the fact were helping support a friend or someone we believe in within our community then the Corporate Overlords. MARK MY WORDS, "THE, FUTURE OF GAMING IS 1,000% in the hands of Small Development Game Dev Teams!"
DM me I'll send you a screenshot. For some reason I can't copy paste the link on my cell. Gonna try tonight with my laptop. Cheers bud. Plz people. Help me out, I need to reach this brother asap. Thanks.
As one of the people who worked on this nice little game I'm glad to see you grew a bit as a person. You did some damage back then and it's good to see you're reflecting a bit on your past work. Being a critic is easy. Making games is damn hard.
Well said! Unfortunately, narcissism is rife amongst youtubers. I believe that's one of the reasons that Operation Harsh Doorstop is getting so many bad reviews. Bluedrake of that title is hopefully learning the same lesson: "Being a critic is easy. Making games is damn hard."
@@Gattobuono nothing to do with narcissism dude people just didn't like the game, of course its hard making a game that doesn't mean it can't be criticised
hopefully this hasn't been few and far between but i love easy red 2 man you guys did a great job, i have it on switch and i play it constantly an a nice in between other tactical shooters. and updating the hands models was the greatest shit in the world lolol
It simultaneously humbles you and raises your standards for basic things. I'm pretty lenient on indie devs but when I'm playing AAA games I find my self getting way more pissed knowing the solutions should be easy if they did their jobs correctly.
@@cococock2418 this is just straight not true. Making a game IS hard. But it doesn’t excuse the low effort piles of dog shit some people put out and charge money for either
Anyone who complains about how games are made should be forced to create their own. Everybody thinks they're a game dev and an expert yet never seem to actually prove that.
This game is definitely so much fun to relax and play, takes me back to the OG Battlefront games and doing galactic conquest/skirmish and having these big battles with all different weapons and vehicles.
3:08 .... you have things like calling for artillery, calling for aritllery smoke screen, calling for tank support, destructible buildings, armored vechicles, tanks, planes, whole inventory system, ability to drag wounded soldiers, as a medic you can heal ( and you have 3 types of wounds) as a radio operator you have to give coordinates to artillery strikes (if you give wrong coordinates you could bomb yourself) you can play as artillery man... this basic shooter have more features than some AAA games
yeah by no means its a basic shooter, he just didn't bother to get in depth and see why it has a loyal fanbase, he just played it as any other shooter without any care.
The devs have done really good at making huge improvements since 2020. Like holy shit it's like seeing a person slowly grow up and develop over time. Improving animations, less jank, added content, adding basic workshop capabilities, improved optimization while simultaneously adding some improvements to graphics, better UI, weapons feel better, more voice acting etc. I feel that as long as this game keeps getting support and the devs keep up the pace, it'll eventually turn into something HUGE. Especially if they manage to add better modding tools.
I play on PC and I have postscriptum, hell let loos, arma 3 World War II mod, BF 5, enlisted and squad 44. This game is better than all of them… it’s embarrassing that a team of one or two people could make a game game better than most AAA titles. I would love to see what this guy could do if he had a full team working for him.
Just found this game thanks to you. Maxed out everything, minimum hud. Couple buddies on a custom server running some sweet missions for hours. This game has scratched a itch I've had for years.
It's cool to see you come back to this game again. I still play it, and it honestly does a lot of good stuff. Really fun game for what it is. They try their best and honestly have a lot of features and little details that I wish triple A games had, and they do it with a small budget.
This game reminds me of a single player version of red orchestra 2 which is what I like about it. ER2 is much better for single player though. It’s not a bad game for what you get. This and rising front are loads of fun.
I agree in the sense that you may have been harsh on them. But on the bright side at least they ended up being one of those devs that instead of getting defensive about it, they saw where they needed to improve and are still working at it. I do enjoy seeing this side of bigfry that alot of other big youtubers are afraid to show and that's just simply being human and not being afraid to take criticism and grow.
I’m glad you’ve came back and changed your opinion on the game. It’s OK that you don’t like the gameplay, and it doesn’t appeal to you, I can respect that. Personally this game is one of my favorite games of all time. just because it’s just so straight forward and outright FUN. PVE and PVP with my friends was some of the most fun I’ve had in gaming since the Star Wars battlefront two days. I absolutely love this game and I always will. Highly suggest anyone who just wants fun World War II simulation without Hollywood PC historical inaccuracies and narratives… Or sweaty multiplayer matches that plague most AAA games, should definitely pick this up👌👌
I love Easy Red 2, fantastic game. And it’s hilarious seeing “this game plays like shit” while trying to use a scope at 5 meters like it’s COD or something, got a big laugh from me
I love the idea of you going back to games you heavily criticized in the past now that you've been working on Transience for a while. Not that it somehow makes the games better, but it's just cool to hear your new perspective and whether or not the game has improved with time.
It definitely seems like a game, that's a good way to just relax and enjoy shooting some bad guys. Sometimes I like having games like that to jump into. It's a big reason I revisit TABS, it's just simple fun.
hey bigfry, as an environment artist who works in the industry. I'm tired of howmuch the industry downplay us by saying that they have the assets - and I should be able to finish this map in a week. without thinking a single gamedesign aspects and how much time it takes to even layout a map. Using assets isn't bad, but mashing them together in a lazy manner and calling it a map is.
I gotta say, game def looks way better than before. I remember the original video and (at the time) that game looked really bad! But good for you bigfry for listening to the community and being willing to revisit the game with an open perspective.
BigFry...just do what makes you happy and create the best game you can with what seems to be an awesome team. People as you know are always gonna hate...I like seeing someone going after their dream ( even with the headaches of it all ) as I never got the chance myself, and I do want anyone to be like me. ( someone who missed all their dreams of competing at a high level and also learned way too late what I love and was not in a position to do anything about it. I for one will be following your progress closely.
As long as your game meets the requirements of what you think makes for a great game, then try not to worry about other people's opinion. But regarding easy red 2, it's not for everyone. It has a very specific audience and we are very vocal about how things should be. In the discussions I always argue about keeping the jank, the random recoil, the rpg elements, the difficulty, single player experience, etc.
I bought the first easy red game many years ago as just a fun little $2 game and enjoyed some laughs. I hope they continue to develop easy red 2 and make it a more stable and enjoyable game
im not sure if i ever saw your first vid on the game, but im honestly proud that youre able to look back and say "hey i was wrong, this is actually decent"
Easy Red 2 is the best game/concept I’ve played in a long time. It has the depth of something like Arma but makes it super approachable and fun like Battlefield, without the tedium of Arma. When modding support is added there will be so much potential to include other conflicts/wars outside of WW2 as the framework is already there. There’s already a really good map/mission editor. Best of all it’s fun in both singleplayer and multiplayer (both coop and PVP or PVPVE). The AI is some of the best I’ve seen in an indie tactical FPS (has some issues but those will be fixed in no time), but it’s far better than most tactical shooters.
I'm glad you went back and did a second take at the game, i have been interested and following its development for awhile now. Must have hidden them keys pretty damn well considering i only caught the one up until you talked about it. Going to have to go back through a second time to see how blind i was... 🤣 I dunno if its tunnel vision, the 58 inch screen right in front of me, or my squirrel brain looking all over the place at everything in the games the first time through but damn i was blind. Went back through actually looking and found them lol
It just looks like they bitten more than they can chew. Doesn't look that bad, doesn't look stunning either but by doing this they are learning and learning big and fast. Who knows...they might be the one who are going to pull an Insurgency Sandstorm game in a couple of years...or not. As long as they are having fun and they are learning something in the long run... life is so stressful, they might do this to change their mind of the daily 9 to 5 they hate, who knows??? Ima wish them the best! For you Bigfry, really cool that you're able to go back to something you trashed and now do a positive critisism and encourage indie devs, props to you brother!! Cheers!!
This video was amazing and very wholesome to see tbh. It just shows how much you've grown over the last 3 or so years and it's really cool to see. I 1000% agree with you on not wanting to do asset flip videos over and over. After a while, your videos about asset flips become asset flips themselves. Your content just keeps getting better and better bro! GGs
Easy Red 2 back then was not a good game. People were still allowed to enjoy it if they wanted to, but it was a rough game. I couldn't enjoy it due to the A.I. forgetting what to do half the time. There were times that they would surrender the moment the game started. I went back to it a few months ago and it's definitely a lot better. It's feels a little like a more casual Red Orchestra 2 now.
back in the day i was really mad at how you took this game and then recommended a game that was completely unplayable just because it looked more polished. this is the kind of redemption i expected, i usually like the content of this channel but i am really happy to see this, this game deserves more love and well what can i say, there is not bigger wisdom than step back and getting over your mistakes.
Holy shizzel I actually remember the first video you posted about this game i love that you sometimes come back to even years old projects to take a look and see how the progress thanks big fry for everything
A few days before i seen this vid, I played ER2 and felt it was one of the greatest Singleplayer ww2 FPSs ive ever played. I didnt grow up with Battlefield so Im not aware of the exeperiece the BF ww2 titles bring, but this is a great modern alternative.
Another game I think you were wrong about was Sniper Ghost warrior contracts which I understand the doubts taking into account the devs history but with C1 and C2 they managed to create amazing solid experiences with tons of replayability.
I found it kind of interesting mechanic, that the Enemy soldier surrended.. It will seems more real. The. They just mindless fight until they fall. War fatigue is a real thing, and is actually as much an aspect as firing bullets.... So kudus to the dev team.
This reminds me of the F2P game Enlisted. Same thing where you command a squad and if you die you can switch to another member. Enlisted does look a bit better than this game and had 6 campaigns.
Lower the expectations of your audience so when you launch your game and it’s garbage people won’t trash you for it, it’s what bluedrake did and that clearly worked so bigfry is giving it a try.
I actually really enjoy this game. Yes it is basic and the graphics are very dated by todays standards. However, old farts like me that have gamed since the late 80s have grown tited of these AAA games with their endless cut scenes and political bollox rammed down our throats. Easy Red draws appeal. Fact is we finally get a ww2 shooter without all the crap and at a low price. The sand box is also great for creating your own maps for you and your mates to play out. That being said, I do agree that the A I is useless and could do with working on. And maybe some different attack modes. Battle Royal, however, can kiss my bum
one thing i hate about easy red 2 is the soldiers third person running animations, they are bought from the asset store and ive seen them in a multitude of other games so i really hope they change it soon.
I have been playing this game for a while now and I really enjoy this game. By no means is it perfect but you can have a lot of fun playing it. There is a lot of potential here and I'm excited to see the games future, and hopefully a Normandy campaign.
a shooter with lean?? where devs took the best of the previous versions and threw it together into a tripple A title?? take notes DICE, ALSO STOP BLATANDLY LYING
I'd like to say that although this is more fair in one perspective, many people don't have any kind of game dev knowledge and in the end, game should be fun and good for the average enjoyer. I do believe your previous review still also holds water, but this doesn't hurt to go with it.
Honestly devs just cross by eachothers ideas. Games like this and ENLISTED just need to follow brother in arms road to hill 30 multiplayer. Where you could give your teammates commands. Instead just having them follow and just stand there.
@@Mrblk92 You can order your squad to do many things, like moving to a certain point, form a straight line, follow you, get in a vehicle or get out of a vehicle, call artillery provided you have a radio man, call for tank support, call for a bayonet charge, call for a strategic flank...and many more
Thank you big fry. Whenever a game releases I always ask. Did bigfry review it yet? I use your content to decide which games I buy because we share a very similar perspective.
IMO, assets are totally cool to use as a tool. It's made to make development easier for those who can't do everything, which is completely understandable. A coder can't model in most cases, or vice-versa. Or, maybe you have a team and you don't have a good enough character artist. It fills that gap in your team that just would have been impossible otherwise. But like you said. when people don't use it as tools, and are basically riding the coat tails of someone else's hard work without any clear input of their own (and in lots of cases charging an arm and a leg for it)… Is where it becomes a seriously dark ethical area.
I bought the game a year or so ago. Was it a a great game? Nah, but it is a game I kept playing, like a idle game. If I didn't know what to play, but wanted to play something, Or didn't have much time, I booted it up and play a round, or just till I had to leave. I played it for what it was and that was fun. A sort of offline Battlefield experience. The balance was way off at times, causing you to get to a complete halt or just being overrun and nothing you could do about it but it was fun none the less. I appreaciate for what the game does, namely, being a shooter. I'm sick and tired of these AAA shooters were they stuff all these boring ass quicktime events into it to make it cinematic...Yeah why let me just run and jump out of a window when you can have me tap "Q" near a window and see my character jump trough that window right? Why let me open my own damn door when you can lock me for 30 seconds into a animation of a AI opening the door for me. Or how you look at so many damn cutscenes while the game isn't long as is...seriousely, why do we need all those cut scenes in a 4 hour campaign in CoD? LET ME SHOOT STUFF. This game isn't the best shooter, the animations, the mechanics, all just isn't up to par, but atleast it lets me shoot stuff! It let's me fly and drive, yeah it's arcady as heck, but hey, atleast I won't have to press Q and E rapidly to shake of a enemy plane, no, I have to actually try and shake it off when it chases me. It's not a game you play for hours, but it's still a fun snack in between and that all for only 10 euro's or less when it's on sale.
@@BigfryTV Yes it brings more value but your original review made sense because most people that play the game are not going to be devs. Sure some people will have different opinions but you dont necessarily need to shift your opinion based on pressure. I have never played this game, but as a gamer soley without putting any of my developer experience into my initial thoughts from watching, I would definitely want better graphics. Sure its historically accurate and fun for many people that like this style of game, but personally, graphics in a game like this in 2020-2023 is just not intriguing to me anymore. Graphics are a big deal to me regardless of the content because I want to enjoy what I see while playing. Graphics at a higher level for solo devs is attainable now especially with UE5s capabilities. Just look at Punch A Bunch for example. It was created by a solo dev but has very great graphics and effects. If Punch A Bunch had these graphics I wouldn't care for it nearly as much because it wouldn't be nice on the eyes. Just my opinion.

Easy Red 2 is so good, a love letter to the early ww2 shooters long forgotten.
Actually getting in the trenches and seeing how hard it is to put together a game is a very humbling experience.
It simultaneously humbles you and raises your standards for basic things. I'm pretty lenient on indie devs but when I'm playing AAA games I find my self getting way more pissed knowing the solutions should be easy if they did their jobs correctly.

I'm a voice actor in this game 🙂
Really
Hey man just bought The Game yesterday! So good! DLCs included
@@Freedomlander_101 I told you it's good
Warcrimes
Which side did you voice?
You should revisit the game now. It’s absolutely beautiful, and it went down in price atleast on the Xbox store to 9 bucks.
Easy red 2 is amazing and worth every penny, just buy the game and dlc, you won’t regret it. Just change the plane controls, you thank me later
What do you suggest changing the plane controls to? Just got this game and I love it but the planes are a challenge
The devs have done really good at making huge improvements since 2020. Like holy shit it's like seeing a person slowly grow up and develop over time.

Awesome. Now Bigfry fanboys should also learn from him and grow up.

I would love to see what this guy could do if he had a full team working for him.
Easy Red 2 is a great game. Best Battlefield game since Battlefield 2.
Yes bro you have right. Best Battlefield for me is 1, vietnam and 2
Just found this game thanks to you. Maxed out everything, minimum hud. Couple buddies on a custom server running some sweet missions for hours. This game has scratched a itch I've had for years.
Still better then most AAA games these days. It's basically classic battlefront in the modern war style.
YES. YES YOU WERE. Easy Red II has more content than most AAA WWII shooters.
the Easy Red 2 is CULT, for nostalgic wargames now, love the play and historycal things
It's cool to see you come back to this game again. I still play it, and it honestly does a lot of good stuff. Really fun game for what it is. They try their best and honestly have a lot of features and little details that I wish triple A games had, and they do it with a small budget.
That is one of the selling points of ER2 imo
This game reminds me of a single player version of red orchestra 2 which is what I like about it. ER2 is much better for single player though. It’s not a bad game for what you get. This and rising front are loads of fun.
Its a 10/10 ww2 game idc if its triple A or anything this objectivly pretty rad
It's an indie game
I agree in the sense that you may have been harsh on them. But on the bright side at least they ended up being one of those devs that instead of getting defensive about it, they saw where they needed to improve and are still working at it.

Had this in my wishlist for about a year now. Never thought I’d see anything about it ever.
Basic ai is an understatement. I havent seen a better ai with pathfinding in any battlefieldesqe game before this game
Found this gem in 2023 and it’s my favorite game of this year. It’s soo much fun
I love the idea of you going back to games you heavily criticized in the past now that you've been working on Transience for a while. Not that it somehow makes the games better, but it's just cool to hear your new perspective and whether or not the game has improved with time.
Its an honest project made for fun, its been getting better and deserves some respect for what it is even if no amazing still.

Dude thank you for showing that part of in editor stuff, always great to see that, not many if any show it.
Looking forward to your teams game! Concept artist is killing it! Frosty the level designer, would love to see some work soon!!
Holy shizzel I actually remember the first video you posted about this game i love that you sometimes come back to even years old projects to take a look and see how the progress thanks big fry for everything
A few days before i seen this vid, I played ER2 and felt it was one of the greatest Singleplayer ww2 FPSs ive ever played. I didnt grow up with Battlefield so Im not aware of the exeperiece the BF ww2 titles bring, but this is a great modern alternative.
I bought this game maybe a year ago and I have to say I really enjoy it, it’s a good game to just sit down and play for a while
Another game I think you were wrong about was Sniper Ghost warrior contracts which I understand the doubts taking into account the devs history but with C1 and C2 they managed to create amazing solid experiences with tons of replayability.
That game was...just not good when I played. I can't say I was wrong about it, but glad they are turning shit around!
I found it kind of interesting mechanic, that the Enemy soldier surrended..
It will seems more real.
The. They just mindless fight until they fall.
War fatigue is a real thing, and is actually as much an aspect as firing bullets....
So kudus to the dev team.
Minus those players who love committing war crimes xD
To be fair it was pretty bad when you first reviewed it but the Dev has had some help and improved everything about the game in order to launch a DLC.
This reminds me of the F2P game Enlisted. Same thing where you command a squad and if you die you can switch to another member. Enlisted does look a bit better than this game and had 6 campaigns.
Lower the expectations of your audience so when you launch your game and it’s garbage people won’t trash you for it, it’s what bluedrake did and that clearly worked so bigfry is giving it a try.
Not at all. If my game is trash as a piece of software, it just won’t go out.
I grabbed one of the hidden product codes in the video! Thanks biggie fries!
Do another the games is soo great
I was wondering if you’d revisited this, because it isn’t really a bad game but u can understand why you said what you did in ya last video
I like that you revisit some games after a backlash
If you're going to develop a game, then get ready for criticism 🤦🏽♂️. I want to develop a game one day and I'll take notes from Bigfry and improve.
I actually really enjoy this game. Yes it is basic and the graphics are very dated by todays standards. However, old farts like me that have gamed since the late 80s have grown tited of these AAA games with their endless cut scenes and political bollox rammed down our throats. Easy Red draws appeal. Fact is we finally get a ww2 shooter without all the crap and at a low price. The sand box is also great for creating your own maps for you and your mates to play out. That being said, I do agree that the A I is useless and could do with working on. And maybe some different attack modes. Battle Royal, however, can kiss my bum
I played both 1 and 2 and for the $10 dollars it was a really good game. Graphics dont matter that much unless you are 12.
I enjoy driving a tank in Easy Red 2. I Feel unstoppable 😊
I'm really starting to love big fry, I already did but it was love hate some days but I'm here for it all .
one thing i hate about easy red 2 is the soldiers third person running animations, they are bought from the asset store and ive seen them in a multitude of other games so i really hope they change it soon.
I personally love the German running animations (except the MG38 and MG42) since they look nice. All the others are just eh.
They're working on that, they just revamped the FPS animations
Hell yeah brother you're a legend for doing this
What was thay gaijin game ww2 one that had squads and let you switch to them
Enlisted
The game is released before Enlisted did
...did you remove my comment just because I've pointed out you had part in shaping current "toxic" gamer landscape? Is that how you roll now?
Transience looks awesome! Can't wait to play it.
Just started playing it last night, and it's got a little jank to it, but I stayed up late having fun learning how to use all the roles and stuff.
6:26 Pay no attention to the imminent War Crime in the gameplay footage.
Ngl i love it
The ultimate redemption story.
I actually like this game. Its not the best but its a chill game that I can relax and play.
congrats on 300k big man✌️✌️✌️ you are a real one
I have been playing this game for a while now and I really enjoy this game. By no means is it perfect but you can have a lot of fun playing it. There is a lot of potential here and I'm excited to see the games future, and hopefully a Normandy campaign.
This game is more or less a remake of Battlefield 1942
Dead wrong!
I get that you have a loudmouth persona, but really, you don't need to speak loudly into a microphone, ever.
a shooter with lean?? where devs took the best of the previous versions and threw it together into a tripple A title??
take notes DICE, ALSO STOP BLATANDLY LYING
If your game sells well enough would you consider releasing on console?
I'd like to say that although this is more fair in one perspective, many people don't have any kind of game dev knowledge and in the end, game should be fun and good for the average enjoyer. I do believe your previous review still also holds water, but this doesn't hurt to go with it.
Love you man.
It’s one of our favorites.
Honestly devs just cross by eachothers ideas. Games like this and ENLISTED just need to follow brother in arms road to hill 30 multiplayer. Where you could give your teammates commands. Instead just having them follow and just stand there.
u can do that in Easy Red 2, Actually ER2 dev intended to make the game inspired by Brothers in Arms series!
@Russell really? Well I sure am glad to hear that. Would you say it does any justice in being similar to B.I.A.
@@Mrblk92 You can order your squad to do many things, like moving to a certain point, form a straight line, follow you, get in a vehicle or get out of a vehicle, call artillery provided you have a radio man, call for tank support, call for a bayonet charge, call for a strategic flank...and many more
Why cant i find your first video
This is as close as you can get to the original Battlefield 1942
Honestly reminds me of the old Delta Force games, anyone remember Black Hawk Down? Pretty good game IMO.
yeah easy red 2 surprised me when i went to boot it up like wow they done well
Reminds me of enlisted
But its still impressive because its only one or a couple people who made the game
Thank you big fry. Whenever a game releases I always ask. Did bigfry review it yet? I use your content to decide which games I buy because we share a very similar perspective.
IMO, assets are totally cool to use as a tool. It's made to make development easier for those who can't do everything, which is completely understandable. A coder can't model in most cases, or vice-versa. Or, maybe you have a team and you don't have a good enough character artist. It fills that gap in your team that just would have been impossible otherwise. But like you said. when people don't use it as tools, and are basically riding the coat tails of someone else's hard work without any clear input of their own (and in lots of cases charging an arm and a leg for it)… Is where it becomes a seriously dark ethical area.
I bought the game a year or so ago. Was it a a great game? Nah, but it is a game I kept playing, like a idle game. If I didn't know what to play, but wanted to play something, Or didn't have much time, I booted it up and play a round, or just till I had to leave. I played it for what it was and that was fun. A sort of offline Battlefield experience. The balance was way off at times, causing you to get to a complete halt or just being overrun and nothing you could do about it but it was fun none the less.
I appreaciate for what the game does, namely, being a shooter. I'm sick and tired of these AAA shooters were they stuff all these boring ass quicktime events into it to make it cinematic...Yeah why let me just run and jump out of a window when you can have me tap "Q" near a window and see my character jump trough that window right? Why let me open my own damn door when you can lock me for 30 seconds into a animation of a AI opening the door for me. Or how you look at so many damn cutscenes while the game isn't long as is...seriousely, why do we need all those cut scenes in a 4 hour campaign in CoD? LET ME SHOOT STUFF. This game isn't the best shooter, the animations, the mechanics, all just isn't up to par, but atleast it lets me shoot stuff! It let's me fly and drive, yeah it's arcady as heck, but hey, atleast I won't have to press Q and E rapidly to shake of a enemy plane, no, I have to actually try and shake it off when it chases me. It's not a game you play for hours, but it's still a fun snack in between and that all for only 10 euro's or less when it's on sale.
i thank you hit the mark this time it just a simple war shooter game.
U say it, u say it. I‘Am tired too of all those Copy’n Paste Asset bullshit. Look at this massiv amount of this stuff on Steam 🤯
when you play a game you need to review it as a gamer, not as a developer
Disagree. I think looking at it from both perspectives can bring more value to y’all.
@@BigfryTV Valid
@@BigfryTV Yes it brings more value but your original review made sense because most people that play the game are not going to be devs. Sure some people will have different opinions but you dont necessarily need to shift your opinion based on pressure. I have never played this game, but as a gamer soley without putting any of my developer experience into my initial thoughts from watching, I would definitely want better graphics. Sure its historically accurate and fun for many people that like this style of game, but personally, graphics in a game like this in 2020-2023 is just not intriguing to me anymore. Graphics are a big deal to me regardless of the content because I want to enjoy what I see while playing. Graphics at a higher level for solo devs is attainable now especially with UE5s capabilities. Just look at Punch A Bunch for example. It was created by a solo dev but has very great graphics and effects. If Punch A Bunch had these graphics I wouldn't care for it nearly as much because it wouldn't be nice on the eyes.
Just my opinion.
@@TechnoReverseChannel definitely valid too.
Can anyone tell me the game shown from 0:11 to 0:16 please? And the game immediately after it also?
I don't know for the 2nd but the first is moded Stalker.
