I play on rx580 1080p with everything maxed aside of shadows, and my game looks nothing like this... in a bad way. Everything 10 meters away is blurry and near by terrain and char is ... more ... pixelated
Finally someone who knows how to play the game, yes it is boring if you just smash square and shoot a ranged weapon, but when you mix it up it is so much fun.
One thing you forgot to mention is that you can 100%-0% small enemys in the air if you cancel before the last attack into jump then attack again. You can also shoot little before and go into attack since it will keep them in the air. Also the best way to get good air with wiht slow two hands :)
Man, good tips I knew nothing about, I'm a gonna follow your advice to the letter because the absolute last thing I want to happen is to end up like that poor dude. Good vid, man.
This how people are supposed to be playing a game that offers huge variety, not just using one method to defeat all enemies just because the game allows you to ,maybe if the devs added some kind of scoring system like DMC then people would be more willing to mash-up things a little bit.
RIGHT !! The devs said it's at it's peak when you are chaining different moves and abilities but people play one way and then call the game boring and repetitive. I don't get why people want a one size fits all in a game that rewards variance. It's also an issue with many triple A games, they try and be everything and appeal to everyone at the same time which they obviously fail at and end up being shallow then the same people call it trash but when a game does something different and sticks to it's theme they call it boring and repetitive. Makes no sense. People don't know what they want which is why they end up complaining about anything and everything under the guise of criticism.
@@Kimkong2 If you have to go out of your way to play a game a certain way for it to be fun, then you have already failed on a fundamental level. Its like saying basket ball is at its peak when you are getting dunks and 3 pointers so the only way we should be able to score is dunks and 3 pointers, ignoring that theres more to the game than just that. Do you know how many games have come out where players discovered a way to play the game that the developers didn't intend and it turns out to enhance the experience?
@@Saint-Soren Huh ?!. Nothing you have said disagrees or even has to do with the points i was making. I don't know what you are talking about but i can assure you that if you find yourself getting dunks and 3 pointers consistently in a basketball game you ARE at the peak. Not sure what that analogy was meant to dispute. Nobody said it's the ONLY way to score, but it is the peak. You are the one that is assuming i said you should play it one way. Read my post again my guy. My issue was two things. Firstly, developers should NOT be aiming for a one size fits all kind of design. They should make different games for different gamers not one game that tries to appeal to all. Second is my issue with people who directly go against how the game was meant to be played, end up not enjoying it and then leave a negative review. You can play however you want, but if you expect loot and levels in a linear game and then bash it for not having rpg elements, you have missed the point entirely. So the point you make about failing fundamentally if you have to play a game a certain way makes zero sense. Back to your analogy of basketball, it has rules and you do have to play it a certain way. If you try and go loud in every mission in splinter cell chaos theory you will have a very bad experience, it's meant to be played stealthily and is at its best then.
If you go Ranged use Wung Fu too. 100% worth it. Their special attacks are actually easier to pull off than the melee and you can use Ranged attacks during ultimate Wung Fu mode and you just melt enemies.
I have a tip of my own, an utility combo if you wil: If you use the shroom + blaze you'll fly reeeaally high up into the air, if you cast more blazes while going up you'll be able to go even higher and further! Plus you can do this pretty early on!
You can channel rad wisps and use other spells if your a caster. It’ll come close to guns later in the game if you’ve got really high intellect and the life steal perk psi freaks keeps you alive pretty well.
Idk if this is known but, when launching an enemy up in the air and doing a combo you can cancel that move mid way there and shoot them and restart doing the combo while in the air.
Would be super curious to hear your thoughts on the game man! We seem to have very similar taste in games and appreciation for game mechanics. This one looks gorgeous, and it seems like they took a “everything but the kitchen sink “ approach to games systems and I’m curious to hear your thoughts on how well a lot of it worked. I have it preordered so will be playing through tomorrow regardless to get my own thoughts, but until then would love to hear from you!!
Now this is how you play the game. I keep seeing all these videos of gameplay where all they do is shoot while strafing. Nothing really interesting. Such a boring way to play a game like this. You need to mix it up and then it's 10X cooler when youre shooting.
It's true, but also there are hundreds upon hundreds of games where combos are reinforced by the gameplay. Doing a complex moveset because *it's more fun* isn't a good argument when Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Viewtiful Joe, and hundreds of other games exist that have combos and ranged combat, but melds the two together in a way that works. Biomutant's developers know that many action games include melee and ranged combat, but did nothing to encourage you to mix it up other than trying to make the game less boring. This is an argument to *not* play Biomutant.
@@ixis it's an rpg based post apocalyptic world that was made by a team of 20 developers. I love it so far since I've been playing rpgs since I was little and know how the mechanics work in those games. If you're looking for a dmc type score system also like Bayonetta. I get it, but this is rpg based crafting, different biomes, reminds me of breath of the wild. And I loved that game so much. Give it a break and know they may implement some things through updates.
You don't need to be a mage to use the magic stuff throughout your adventure you gain points that can only be used to get spells, you just can't cast as many spells as you would with a magic focused build.
Omg same lol, been curious if I should use controller or M & K. I think you're right tho, controller seems like it might be best especially bc the shooting looks like its almost auto-locking
If you're worried about M+K not being good, I've played with both and while Controller is more comfortable the M+K controls are just fine too you could totally play with those alone and have a good time.
I really enjoy the game. It’s not perfect but the devs on it. Once they get rid of some of the hugs and add stuff in it’s going to be even more fun. I’m looking forward to everything in the future.
Searched legit 30min for a good combat video. I am very unsure if the combat is better/ or a bit funnier like Imortal Fenyx. Played Fenyx it was fun but yeah... Biomutant looks interesting, how is the difficult on hard? Fenyx difficulty was absurd easy on hard... but fun. ^^ Don't want to shoot all the things and your video shows it is possible to kill the enemies with sword and skill based gameplay. And how much combat is in the game? Around 50% Combat and 50% walking, looting and nothing? 60-70% Combat would be nice i like looting to but i need many enemies. ^^ Hope the enemy's are walking all over the world... and not only in caves, outpost, nearby totems chest or so... (:
Isnt the base part of the ultimate weapon the part with all the stats, perks and elemental damage anyway? Changing the base type still means its "ultimate" but generally youre losing out on the stats of that base part.
I'm really enjoying the game. The tip for breaking down ultimate weapons is really useful because I have some that are just too far beyond my current level.
Bro this games menus and crafting systems and stuff are so confusing which is frustrating because I am LOVING the combat so far. It’s so floaty and fun. But I’m still using my default stuff 7 hours into the game.. it’s telling me I can’t craft anything?! Lol I don’t understand it
There’s a mission you have to do to unlock the crafting mechanics, if you complete the mission labeled “return to you childhood home”or something like that it will unlock
There's a bunch of stuff you can do like rescue people, pet tiny animals, shrines, etc to increase your light aura that has no bearing on the story choices.
Powers are not spells, they are psionic abilities! Jean Grey and Xavier not Doc Strange and Constantine. C'mom man 😆. Absolutely love your channel. Best tips out there IMO.
Just a friendly reminder the reviewers who are negative can beep themselves everyone who does get to play the game enjoy yourselves god would want you too
What do you mean by canceling? At 1:15 into your video you explain a jump into some other skills, and then you say you follow up with a cancel into a melee strike. What is canceling, and how do you do it, please? You don't explain that part of it.
I’ve been playing video games since 87, and I’m having a tough time getting the melee combat down. I feel like the lines that let you know when an enemy has a about to strike are to lended with the environment. Idk.. maybe I’m just old
You gotta remember this game was created by like 20 people, so like temper your expectations. Doesn't mean that it will be bad just probably isn't going to blow your socks off.
Really tried to like this game but it just doesn't feel good to play. It's not that it's jank(I mean it is) but the phrasing of sentences is really poor, the writing is pretty bad, there's not a lot of impact to the hits, enemies have almost no audio cues, and the tutorial is pretty bad. Heck even after watching guides and understanding the combat it just doesn't feel rewarding or the combat doesn't feel "right".
I cant get over how bad the combat _sounds_ I don't know how any self respecting audio designer can listen to that and go "yup, great, ship it". So much i can put up with but god awful sound design is not one of them. just embarrassing.
It would also barely take a moment to fix it. Hire a good sound guy for a week, and most problems will be over. Let's hope they get around to fix it. Might consider giving it a buy then, especially if it goes on sale.

I absolutely loved the guy stuck by the table bit! It was wonderful done.
Really been waiting for this my guy !!
I Frakking love this game! I have not had this much fun in a long time!
Great video! Pre ordered this game and can't wait to play it. Biomutant is exactly the kind of game that I like with high speed and in-depth combat.
Thanks for the vid man
welcome

I was going to skip hitting the like button but the absolute last thing I would want to happen was to turn up like *this poor dude*......

Outstanding video!
thanks!
I am loving this game. Great tips!
“The absolute last thing u wanna do is end up like this guy”
I like the style just preordered for my ps4 pro.
How was it?
Top quality video, to the point with a touch of humor. Nice one
Great stuff, I was looking for something on ammo mods in the consumables but found this instead. Loving the game and it's craziness!

Great video and I love the game
anyone know what the pink fire swords are called that he's using at 5:15?
You can channel rad wisps and use other spells if your a caster. It’ll come close to guns later in the game if you’ve got really high intellect and the life steal perk psi freaks keeps you alive pretty well.
Cool tutorial mate
The sawblade launcher ability is hysterical.
really great video, keep em comin
Mutation abilitys use less energy that Psy energy so there better to use as openers for combos. Once you get use to it the combat slaps.
I love how your character "marks their territory" for fast travel locations.
I thought there was a pure Mage class as well in the game. Great video btw.
Not a pure mage. They can use anything. They just get one extra spell that the others can't get.
@The Truth there is magic lol.
lightning, levitation and telekinesis and more
idk wtf you are talking about
@The Truth you should change your username to @The Lie
Can you put together melees like the gun crafting
Yes. You can change melee base types as well.
Jesus your game play was so good it made me want to buy the game.. and I already own it.
I tried to watch this video, but a table fell on my leg and i died. :(
I TRIED TO TELL YOU THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO END UP LIKE THAT POOR DUDE!
@@BoomstickGaming wow 😂😂😂 you know ? You actually did
Idk if this is known but, when launching an enemy up in the air and doing a combo you can cancel that move mid way there and shoot them and restart doing the combo while in the air.
So far so good.

It's "pretty fun" but rough sometimes in the animation department.
Any reason why I wouldn’t be able to use top mods even though they are listed under consumables?

does choosing a class matter? since u can get other skills? I picked merc and I'm 1.7 hours in and I wanna change class because of this video lol
Class is not super important. Every class can pretty much eventually do all the same stuff, with a few exceptions.
@@BoomstickGaming You should perhaps do a video on these classes and their variances, if you don't mind of course.
I never go mage. Im always a strength/ faith guy. Big weapons go boom....but the magic stuff in this game looks stupid fun. Ima mage it.
You don't need to be a mage to use the magic stuff throughout your adventure you gain points that can only be used to get spells, you just can't cast as many spells as you would with a magic focused build.
It looks like this is a controller game for PC, been trying to find out what to use when it is available on GoG tomorrow.

I'd check reviews before buying.. looks like it's not great
Reviews aren't everything, they can often be misleading. Make your own conclusion and opinions.
I'm straight up confident this game is going to be great.
I've heard this game is so easy you can hold down the shoot button and faceroll everything even on the hardest difficulty.
It's "pretty good", and sometimes "pretty good" is enough.
You gotta remember this game was created by like 20 people, so like temper your expectations. Doesn't mean that it will be bad just probably isn't going to blow your socks off.

It’s almost as if they’re completely different from each other
