Summary - Coop gaming has evolved. GRW is clearly not a typical GR game, it's pretty much Far Cry 5 in third person, it's also riddled with bugs, especially in coop, however none of them are game breaking and many are hilarious. It's pretty much GTA does Far Cry and both of them were imo good games. GRW though fails miserably as a single player game as your three Ai companions are terrible at stealth or taking cover in a firefight. The thing is this game is not a proper SP game, it's marketed as a coop game, even the words of the developer are all about coop, nothing about SP yet many reviewers are reviewing this as a SP game :o As a coop game it's brilliant, the sheer size of your playground is amazing and it all just works so well, the zones, the missions, the collecting of upgrades for your guns and here's the thing about the upgrades. In plenty other games you need like 50 headshots to unlock an upgrade WTF! How stupid is that? In this game they are in enemy bases so you have to steal them which is way more plausible and rewarding. Am about to start another 3 or 4 hour session in coop and we will be flying around Bolivia dropping in on enemy bases, stealing resources and acquiring new weapons and new mods. One of us sniping from a vantage point the other two using stealth to infiltrate the base, markers all off for added realism. Shit will hit the fan, it's inevitable with my team ;) but tbh we all like it to hit the fan because that is when the game shifts gear into an explosive fight for survival and tbh I have not played anything like this for years. Sadly it seems a good load of people are going to miss out on this game due to idiotic reviewers concentrating on the Single player aspect when it's clear to any gamer with a brain that this game is totally designed to be a coop game. If you have friends it's a no brainer to buy this and even if you don't it's worth it to team up with some randoms, coop has just evolved and I hope that this is the start of a new breed of game that centres around the coop aspect. Gone are the stupid linear progression systems and in it's place is a huge sandbox world for you and your team to explore at your own pace, a world full of adventure and danger and chocked full of stuff to do, if this gets some patch love it's potential GOTY material.
I've been playing the game a lot myself, have I think 6 or more hours in co-op and I've experienced some bugs like in a helicopter my arms were outstretched to pilot a minigun in the ghost hawk even though I was sitting on the other side of it. But besides that I haven't experienced any of the bugs you're showing in this video but it's quite funny lol
madheadmadDAZ One of the greatest ideas I have seen in the RUclips comments section. Not even joking, that would be pretty fucking great as a channel but it would probably get taken down. But hey, if pink haired girls can jiggle their tits about for a few views then what's wrong with worthapirate?
I would really like to know if this IS worth a pirate. I want to know if the amount of fun to had in this game is enough to offset the 43 Gb of space and the 1 week download time( I have crappy internet) for it.
For anyone reading, I picked this up for 15 bucks on sale and it looks like they've added in options to remove the Xray vision enemy markers without literally removing all markers.
One of the best games in years. I have to disagree though, for me it's just as fun single player. I can do what I want at a pace I chose. It's the same map, same missions, same gameplay. The AI teammates are good. Good in the sense that they aren't that good. They compliment the player, they assist but never get in the way or complete a mission for you. Just as it should be. You're very much in control and they tag along. I like that.
I really like the ending of this review, some people forget when playing a game, that the biggest thing is, "Are you having fun?". People are too caught up in small details of fps, graphics, all that shit, and never take a minute just to try to have fun.
I enjoy this game a lot too! I like playing with no HUD and after awhile you will learn what to look for. You can also use your main map to double check if you missed something in an area. That feeling when I loaded in and started driving around with no map, no markers, nothing... I felt like I was in the deep end. Good times.
You’re way too hard on the single player aspect. I only play this game solo and have had a blast. There’s so much to do, and I actually like the ai teammates. Much better than playing with random rambos who screw up the stealth experience.
On the topic of weapon parts, you just need to grab basic intel. Either from asking rebel lieutenants, finding intel caches, or interrogating Cartel/Unidad lieutenants (all three are marked on the tac map with black exclamation points on white circles). Typically you will have to do it twice because the weapons and attachments don't show up the first time around. Skill points and two other options do. The second go will, if you pick skill points, will yield the locations of weapons.
i bought the game, and im a big fan of you mack. i turned the difficulty up, and most of the hud off, map and crosshairs, i only have the tag thing on. and im enjoying the combat. taking my time planning it out. best buy in a long while!!! as mack said, if you go lower than the 'extreme' difficulty there is no point of playing the game. it is night and day difference when you play on extreme difficulty! keep going mack with the good reviews, been here with you since 20k subs (;
The Tom Clancy brand means nothing anymore. The brand used to stand for strategy and tactics, now it's just another marketing tool for Ubisoft. I do think it is very fun in a full squad though.

this game was amazing the best game i played in 2018. played all 2 dlcs. first time I played i uninstall it, then after 6 months gave it a chance after the first mission you get a sense of immersion, of being in another country, of narcos, of never ending open world, amazing graphs, everything was very cool, other than the AI that is trully shit
I liked the Advanced Warfighter 2, where you tag an enemy, and they stay tagged as long as they are within vision range of either a drone, or your teammate, the second they go out of sight tag goes away, and you have to retag the fucker. That would have been the best one, but fuck this permanent wall-hacking tag bullshit.
Just pretend it's Mercenaries 3 and you'll love it. For the perverts out there: You can play as a custom female ghost and your character is fully voiced in single player. She's also got an incredible potty mouth! :D (Also, the huffing and puffing she does when running out of stamina is the best/sexiest I've heard in a while...) It's basically Mercenaries 3
My friend had the same issue with the FPS when I was running at 60 FPS on my 970 and we were both on Ultra. Never figured out why there was a difference
Nothing like just doing a bunch of pointless shit/repetitive fuckery in a huge world. I swear that this is how these companies develop their games...since it's Ubisoft, some ultra corporate wanker walks in the meeting room and puts up a pie chart. It breaks down what the game will be in percentage "slices". Allocated funding/development time goes as follows: -80% Making a massive map -2% Computer AI -2% Optimization -1% Challenge -10% Graphics -2% Gameplay -1% Customization -2% Microtransactions I swear that the dev teams in these open world games consist of a bunch of Minecraft world builders and a few actual software engineers.
Almost 100% what my friends and I said about this game. Markers off and extreme difficulty are a must plus we aren't allowed to fasttravel or change your loadout unless at a box so as not to be to give yourself the right weapon for the job everytime, it is coop after all and thats what a team is for. I wish we could remove the markers off the men in the minimap and we have gotten pretty good at finding the items and objectives with the hud off, just have to use the map to guide you. And if this game was First Person then this would of been even better as I hate looking around things and seeing the enemy even when im not even trying. Have to admit since the open beta the cars are a bit better, bikes are still a bit wank and choppers are the same. Sniper rifles have a bit less drop off as well. All in all what Mack said with Ubisoft adding more custom options would make an open world of difference.
Next Worth a Buy video: "By the way guys I'm taking some time off - a holiday around the world 1st class on Ubi Air, followed by a couple of weeks drinking cocktails out of coconuts in French Polynesia with the ubisoft promo girls" As your loyal fans we are going to let this thumb up slide Mack - well played mate, you deserve it ;) ;) ;)
It's a great coop game, it's so sad many of you are going to miss out because of the bugs and hand holding elements that I showed, this is the best coop game for years.
Oh don't get me wrong Mack - you've helped in convincing me and my mates to maybe take the plunge and make some episodes of "Pricks gone wild in Bolivia". Awesome Worth a buy mate by the way, I Really enjoyed watching. Cheers. P.S - I heard Tahiti is nice this time of year
After buying Horizon Zero Dawn and it being one of my favourite games of all time (played from 7pm to 10am without breaks and beat it 3 days after I got it) I was ready to think Mack was going to shit on this game too, but he's absolutely spot fucking on. This game is the biggest pile of shit I've played in a long time- and I fucking love it. Been playing with a friend for a good few hours and this game is fucking hilarious. They tried so hard to make a good game but came back with such a buggy piece of shit and it makes me laugh every time I boot it up. Good review as always.
It is 2023 and I just bought this game for $10 on the playstation store so hopefully I'll get a little bit of fun out of it. And I'm also playing through home front the revolution that I only pay $2 😂
Great WAB, Mack man. My only issue with this is the monotony of the missions and travel, but there is some good fun to be had in co-op. Single-player is nice as well if you sneak about "tactically", but the enjoyment of that wanes after a while. I like that it faintly reminds me of the old school SOCOM games haha. Personally, I'd play this with at least markers, then mission reminders, and team info disabled. Minimal use of the drone. I would also turn off the minimap but that would mean having to open the tacmap every few seconds lol, so it's better to keep than on. I did this in the beta and was able to manage just fine and enjoy the game for the most part. I'm still skeptical about throwing down 60 USD for the Xbone version tho. Much better for $40 coming out of the beta I think.
I like how the markers work in rainbow six siege as when you use a drone you got to scan and it only then say that was where the drone last saw the guy . but the guy can move. feel the markers would be more fun if they did the same for ghost
Bought it. Its now free weekend. AND now its also -69% on gold edition. Gold edition for only €33. Nice game, especially with friends over discord. Its a blast.
Just glad I finally agree with one of your recent reviews. Agreed 100% with everything you said until the end. Did not have the same enjoyable experience but only because I only really played singleplayer. I keenly await the alien game and the rebel crafting though
if the tag system was set up that it dosnt follow an enemy everywhere that might be ok like a temporary tag that stays in one place as like a last place the enemy was seen tag and to also show your team mates were u saw someone. but have a tag that follows someone for the rest of there lives and showing where they are is dumb
Just an FYI, if you press the subtraction "-" key on the number pad, it turns off the HUD on the fly :) ... This should save you time having to go in and out of the options.
I played solo and fukn loved it... yes it gets a bit repetitive but I had alot of fun. And the DLC was fukn LEGENDARY. Mack u silly nancy boy, ill fight you in a ring of fire if you disagree !!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Legit question: Why should I pick this up when I already have/played titles such as those in the Just Cause and Mercenaries series, other than the co-op? Does it have any other hook over those games?
i play on hardest level and its said that " realistic strategy " and it is like the enemy is zombie , they run toward you and shot you in fast reflex but you dont reveal you position at all.
I like the fact that as you said gamers are capable of shooting as you completely missed the guy with a whole gun clip in the video. Hehe. I only brought it for coop so I'm happy with that game but you're completely correct.
I play this game on extreme difficulty with HUD elements (inc. markers) turned off in Co-op. The game went from casual childsplay, to a lot more challenging and fun. I've had no problems finding mission objectives or gun mods, as they are displayed on the world map.
How tedious, opening up the map whenever you want to locate something. It would be much better if the game was just better at directing your eyes organically through its world. Like Breath of the Wild or Elden Ring.

You know, I played RavenShield when I was like 7 and rebought it 7 years later and actually beat the whole game and loved almost every minute of it... And that was in 2016, Would it be wise to try out the old Ghost Recon games? Or would it be better to try the previous R6 games?
Still play this game today (2024). Storyline made sense-disagree with that part of the video. PvP had an excellent balance system. Ghost Mode was great - you die... start the game from the beginning (sucks when your down to Tier 15 and have to start over) Wish he had a second channel called "Buy After Yr 1" - for games that had been out for a yr. Be comical for games that are still not worth it and listening to him take a complete piss on it...again. It would allow subs to possibly see that now a game is playable and might enjoy it Found this channel from the review of Manor Lords 👍🏻
When Mack gets so worked up about smaller features, you know he wants more of the game (was convinced of the thumbs up about 1/3 through the video). But those details do matter and are worth explaining, mentioning. When I hear/read about these issues from other players and they seem irrelevant to me, I know I'll be able to enjoy the game despite all the quirks.
Apparently they are working on a patch where you can customise your hud, increased difficulty and optimisation, if this is all done it should be a great game
Correction: Baby's First Arma Or, Arma for mainstream "gamers" aka DSPGaming (Dark Syde Phil) "gamers". (If you don't know who that ass clown is, do yourself a favor and never look him up)
2019 the game is great, it's fixed, new stuff every week, with update every 1 to 2 mounts. I have a friends to play with (on a PC of course, fuck consoles). It never gets old, even after playing for few hours straight. It's a heavy game sure, but not for 1080. There is 4v4 multiplayer. It does have microtransactions, but you can get unique weapons simply by playing the game. And for all haters out there - you can suck it madafackaaas!
mac its the view distance that rekts fps that really stress the cpu . if you turn on nvidias DSR an play at a higher resolution that shifts more of the load on to the gpu thats what i did. an i have a gtx 1070 with a i7 5820k @ 4.4ghz now im getting a lot more fps
thankyou for covering both single player and multi. I don't play online multi, all I'm interested in is single player, so now from your coverage I know not to waste my 💰 A decent single player campaign seems rare as hens teeth these days. Multiplayer is definitely wank, always has been 🐝 developers need to get a life and get some imagination, unfortunately it seems they only do as little as required to pass it off as passable. BTW, this channel deserves to have at least 1,000,000 subscribers. When that day comes, I bid you, don't lose your roughneck natural style and honesty. That's why we watch. Thanks again for the reviews, is it Worth A Watch?
If you wana fuck around with gunplay and stealth or customize your own super soldier with modded guns....yes it can be tons of fun. Driving feels weird but its not important. But it will be boring without friends if you beat the missions the same way every time and little reason to play it after you beat the story. People say "play harder then its not boring" but if you play on extreme//tier 1 you literally do the missions the exact same 2 or 3 ways to ensure you win. The tier 1 system is just hack bullshit and grindy as hell. Dont buy the season 1 and season 2 pass just get the regular game. The added content in those gold and ultimate editions are useless trash that wont be in ur main game. Basically standalone stories and pvp classes for the multiplayer side game which is also trash. Don't listen to elitists, buy the game on sale, play at a difficulty you can have fun and do w/e you want (gta kinda fun) and enjoy it for what its worth. If you want to play a tactical mil sim game with realistic bullets, then no get something like Arma 3 instead. The game is basically an arcade version of Arma mixed with some GTA and Farcry elements.
Iv played this game with 3 mates and have been having a blast. That said, I am doing it the same as you where I hav ebeen disabling the minimap and markers for big enemy encounters....but have to re-enable for item locations. I have really enjoyed the multiplayer experience here....but single player sucks.
I completely agree about the markers. I got so frustrated I left them on myself i think the way to go is to make them not appear while playing on extreme they already removed heat signature from the mini map they might as well go the extra mile in making it challenging. The AI is pretty bad to the AI detection and accuracy is ridiculous and they can spot the tip of your head behind a rock at 300m at 2am in game.
off topic mack, but have you seen the gameplay reveal for shadow of war? I know you enjoyed the nemesis system in the first one, so this should get you excited.
I played beta solo, and with Markers off and the 3rd difficulty option, it was enjoyable. as for the capture missions, u fail once, then u notice his uniform and just don't shoot him the next. but I guess in the near future that MAY receive some patches. To customize markers that is.
Just a note the game gives a warning when you click ultra that it will challenge high end rigs. 1070 is the 5th fastest card (1080,1080ti,titanX,titanXP) so of course your going to have lower frames. Nividia partnered with these guys and helped with the graphics so the optimization is most likely helped or even handled by nividia. Great video though!
ubisoft needs to fire all of their writers and use an AI chatbot instead, that'd greatly improve their games. they'd make the best gaems to buy on sale
I played Assassin's Creed Black Flag recently. The game is good, apart from the usually abysmal controls. But they've put x-ray vision in it, but they call ir *Eagle* vision (ding...ding...ding). I know that previous games had Eagle vision too but at least you couldn't see the enemy through walls. Why do they put it in modern games? At least an option to turn it off would be nice. The same is with Far Cry 3. In the game you don't have binoculars which would be pretty useful. Instead you have to use a camera to scout out an area from a distance but it automatically tags the enemies and you can see them through the walls.
Summary - Coop gaming has evolved.
GRW is clearly not a typical GR game, it's pretty much Far Cry 5 in third person, it's also riddled with bugs, especially in coop, however none of them are game breaking and many are hilarious.

So if multiplayer is the only redeeming factor then I guess it's not worth a pirate?
You must not watch this channel much (or are new to it) if you are asking him about pirating.
I've been playing the game a lot myself, have I think 6 or more hours in co-op and I've experienced some bugs like in a helicopter my arms were outstretched to pilot a minigun in the ghost hawk even though I was sitting on the other side of it. But besides that I haven't experienced any of the bugs you're showing in this video but it's quite funny lol
fastdak25 I've been watching mack for years actually, since the mack and mesh days and Ik his stance on pirating, it was a fucking joke.
not being able to heal a team member is game breaking IMO
"Four Pricks Go Wild in Bolivia" is actually a perfect summary of the entire story plot of this game. MURICA!!!! PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW!!!
I'm an American I proudly endorse this message.
@@officialSTR1FE I love people with a sense of humour, bravo sir.
@@Asaski09 I appreciate you appreciating it. 😎🍻👍
Far Cry 5 lol
That was on point tho xD
my other comment has all the time stamps, it took some time, so if you could like it i would really appreciate it!
This might be better than the actual far cry 5 will be, even without all that fishing bollocks
I might make a channel called Worth A pirate, because most of the games nowadays are not even worth wasting hard drive space on lol
madheadmadDAZ agreed, please
Do it lmao I'll sub
madheadmadDAZ but if you pirate it, it still uses space...
madheadmadDAZ One of the greatest ideas I have seen in the RUclips comments section. Not even joking, that would be pretty fucking great as a channel but it would probably get taken down. But hey, if pink haired girls can jiggle their tits about for a few views then what's wrong with worthapirate?
Druark that is what i mean is it worth a pirate because your not wasting money. You are wasting Hard drive space xD
I would really like to know if this IS worth a pirate. I want to know if the amount of fun to had in this game is enough to offset the 43 Gb of space and the 1 week download time( I have crappy internet) for it.
Gotta tag em all, ghost recon!
lol
@hatosie You can also turn off enemy markers in the options
@hatosie Actually it looks like the option to remove enemy markers wasn't in the game originally and they added it in an update
"Four pricks go wild in Bolivia" 😂 Bang on. Who wouldn't want to do that? I love this game even now.
For anyone reading, I picked this up for 15 bucks on sale and it looks like they've added in options to remove the Xray vision enemy markers without literally removing all markers.
Thanks, you have changed my mind
Yes just bought it on special and noticed that too! It's perfect!
I just started playing it, i love it so far. I can't remember when i had so much fun.
One of the best games in years. I have to disagree though, for me it's just as fun single player. I can do what I want at a pace I chose. It's the same map, same missions, same gameplay.

I want the game's box art and "four pricks go wild in Bolivia" on a tshirt right fucking now
Good thing theyve fixed a lot of the issues. And Ghost mode without minimap or markers is awesome.
I really like the ending of this review, some people forget when playing a game, that the biggest thing is, "Are you having fun?". People are too caught up in small details of fps, graphics, all that shit, and never take a minute just to try to have fun.

This was hilarious. Literally laughed out loud a few times. Keep up the reviews man, honestly!
wow. THIS GUY IS MERCILESS!!!!!!!
that's why i like him
Who is still playing this masterpiece in 2024?
You’re way too hard on the single player aspect. I only play this game solo and have had a blast. There’s so much to do, and I actually like the ai teammates. Much better than playing with random rambos who screw up the stealth experience.
I finished this game and I took me about 40 hours. I played it mostly singlplayer and I loved it.
On the topic of weapon parts, you just need to grab basic intel. Either from asking rebel lieutenants, finding intel caches, or interrogating Cartel/Unidad lieutenants (all three are marked on the tac map with black exclamation points on white circles).

The second go will, if you pick skill points, will yield the locations of weapons.
What a great name for a hidden 80's action movie gem! "Four Pricks Go Wild In Bolivia"
i bought the game, and im a big fan of you mack.
i turned the difficulty up, and most of the hud off, map and crosshairs, i only have the tag thing on. and im enjoying the combat. taking my time planning it out. best buy in a long while!!!
as mack said, if you go lower than the 'extreme' difficulty there is no point of playing the game. it is night and day difference when you play on extreme difficulty! keep going mack with the good reviews, been here with you since 20k subs (;
Absolutely loved it. 100% completed.
True Ghost Recon = one grazing pistol shot and your man is out for this and the following mission.
The Tom Clancy brand means nothing anymore. The brand used to stand for strategy and tactics, now it's just another marketing tool for Ubisoft. I do think it is very fun in a full squad though.

Exactly! Even spotting in Battlefield games goes away after a while.
I picked this up on my PS4 in a sale, put over 120 hrs into it, all single player and I'm not a fan of shooters but I did find this fun.
You had me going with the story🤣I was thinking "what the ^%$*!"
Just pretend it's Mercenaries 3 and you'll love it. For the perverts out there: You can play as a custom female ghost and your character is fully voiced in single player.

-2% Computer AI
-2% Optimization

Eric Durant -100% absolute wank
I'm still playing it single player since release. Not all the time but I always come back to it for long stints. It's an excellent game 🎮👏🏆
Same here. Great game
most accurate review of any game. same exact impression i have from playing the old GRs and now this one.
its better than its sequel
Yeah this is much better
Oath
Almost 100% what my friends and I said about this game. Markers off and extreme difficulty are a must plus we aren't allowed to fasttravel or change your loadout unless at a box so as not to be to give yourself the right weapon for the job everytime, it is coop after all and thats what a team is for.
I wish we could remove the markers off the men in the minimap and we have gotten pretty good at finding the items and objectives with the hud off, just have to use the map to guide you. And if this game was First Person then this would of been even better as I hate looking around things and seeing the enemy even when im not even trying.
Have to admit since the open beta the cars are a bit better, bikes are still a bit wank and choppers are the same. Sniper rifles have a bit less drop off as well. All in all what Mack said with Ubisoft adding more custom options would make an open world of difference.
Next Worth a Buy video: "By the way guys I'm taking some time off - a holiday around the world 1st class on Ubi Air, followed by a couple of weeks drinking cocktails out of coconuts in French Polynesia with the ubisoft promo girls"
As your loyal fans we are going to let this thumb up slide Mack - well played mate, you deserve it ;) ;) ;)
It's a great coop game, it's so sad many of you are going to miss out because of the bugs and hand holding elements that I showed, this is the best coop game for years.
Oh don't get me wrong Mack - you've helped in convincing me and my mates to maybe take the plunge and make some episodes of "Pricks gone wild in Bolivia".
Awesome Worth a buy mate by the way, I Really enjoyed watching. Cheers.
P.S - I heard Tahiti is nice this time of year
Can you turn off the tagging/see enemies through walls feature? If so, would probably be a completely different experience. For the better
Yes but like I said it also turns off everything else and some of them are vital for your enjoyment.
After buying Horizon Zero Dawn and it being one of my favourite games of all time (played from 7pm to 10am without breaks and beat it 3 days after I got it) I was ready to think Mack was going to shit on this game too, but he's absolutely spot fucking on. This game is the biggest pile of shit I've played in a long time- and I fucking love it. Been playing with a friend for a good few hours and this game is fucking hilarious. They tried so hard to make a good game but came back with such a buggy piece of shit and it makes me laugh every time I boot it up. Good review as always.
I play Crusader Kings 2 and Call of Duty. I play games I like.
lol casual
Me and my friend had to play on ultra hard just so we couldn’t see all the damn enemies on the mini map
It is 2023 and I just bought this game for $10 on the playstation store so hopefully I'll get a little bit of fun out of it. And I'm also playing through home front the revolution that I only pay $2 😂
Everyone remembers when they finally killed the predator
Fukn A !!!! Legendary!!!! It took me weeks !!!!!
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Great WAB, Mack man. My only issue with this is the monotony of the missions and travel, but there is some good fun to be had in co-op. Single-player is nice as well if you sneak about "tactically", but the enjoyment of that wanes after a while. I like that it faintly reminds me of the old school SOCOM games haha.
Personally, I'd play this with at least markers, then mission reminders, and team info disabled. Minimal use of the drone. I would also turn off the minimap but that would mean having to open the tacmap every few seconds lol, so it's better to keep than on. I did this in the beta and was able to manage just fine and enjoy the game for the most part.
I'm still skeptical about throwing down 60 USD for the Xbone version tho. Much better for $40 coming out of the beta I think.
5:30 made me so uncomfortable , getting stuck woth such a big vehicle is sooo annyoing
i think this game is a really good concept, i've been having a lot of fun on it so far so for me i think it's worth a purchase
I miss the days Ubisoft took time and care into their games and actually made some pretty amazing and memorable games
I like how the markers work in rainbow six siege as when you use a drone you got to scan and it only then say that was where the drone last saw the guy . but the guy can move. feel the markers would be more fun if they did the same for ghost
I laughed so hard when he started inventing a new plot :D
Bought it.
Its now free weekend. AND now its also -69% on gold edition. Gold edition for only €33.
Nice game, especially with friends over discord. Its a blast.
Just glad I finally agree with one of your recent reviews. Agreed 100% with everything you said until the end. Did not have the same enjoyable experience but only because I only really played singleplayer. I keenly await the alien game and the rebel crafting though
if the tag system was set up that it dosnt follow an enemy everywhere that might be ok like a temporary tag that stays in one place as like a last place the enemy was seen tag and to also show your team mates were u saw someone. but have a tag that follows someone for the rest of there lives and showing where they are is dumb
I remember when the 1070 was a "high end" gaming card lol
Just an FYI, if you press the subtraction "-" key on the number pad, it turns off the HUD on the fly :) ... This should save you time having to go in and out of the options.
I played solo and fukn loved it... yes it gets a bit repetitive but I had alot of fun. And the DLC was fukn LEGENDARY. Mack u silly nancy boy, ill fight you in a ring of fire if you disagree !!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The first clip with the car reminded me off Arnie in Commando going down the hill in his jeep xD
Tags are a left over from the life bars (bullet sponge bars) from The Division
Legit question: Why should I pick this up when I already have/played titles such as those in the Just Cause and Mercenaries series, other than the co-op? Does it have any other hook over those games?
i play on hardest level and its said that " realistic strategy " and it is like the enemy is zombie , they run toward you and shot you in fast reflex but you dont reveal you position at all.
Mack have you seen the mordhau gameplay trailer that dropped today?
Yeah it looks amazing, it's going to be a great year for PC Sword fighting Banner loads 2 and Mordhau
Worth A Buy yea I can't wait for mount and blade aswell I've just started a new play through
I like the fact that as you said gamers are capable of shooting as you completely missed the guy with a whole gun clip in the video. Hehe. I only brought it for coop so I'm happy with that game but you're completely correct.
One of your best reviews. Thanks Mack, don't ever change
The helicopter scene in the beginning of the game shows how bad the voice acting really is
Ronald & Hip Hop yep
I play this game on extreme difficulty with HUD elements (inc. markers) turned off in Co-op. The game went from casual childsplay, to a lot more challenging and fun. I've had no problems finding mission objectives or gun mods, as they are displayed on the world map.
How tedious, opening up the map whenever you want to locate something. It would be much better if the game was just better at directing your eyes organically through its world. Like Breath of the Wild or Elden Ring.

You know, I played RavenShield when I was like 7 and rebought it 7 years later and actually beat the whole game and loved almost every minute of it... And that was in 2016, Would it be wise to try out the old Ghost Recon games? Or would it be better to try the previous R6 games?
Still play this game today (2024). Storyline made sense-disagree with that part of the video. PvP had an excellent balance system. Ghost Mode was great - you die... start the game from the beginning (sucks when your down to Tier 15 and have to start over)
Wish he had a second channel called "Buy After Yr 1" - for games that had been out for a yr. Be comical for games that are still not worth it and listening to him take a complete piss on it...again. It would allow subs to possibly see that now a game is playable and might enjoy it
Found this channel from the review of Manor Lords 👍🏻
When Mack gets so worked up about smaller features, you know he wants more of the game (was convinced of the thumbs up about 1/3 through the video). But those details do matter and are worth explaining, mentioning. When I hear/read about these issues from other players and they seem irrelevant to me, I know I'll be able to enjoy the game despite all the quirks.
There are markers for everything... Except if you turn it off?
Apparently they are working on a patch where you can customise your hud, increased difficulty and optimisation, if this is all done it should be a great game
Best news I have heard all day, well if they do that then this is currently winning my GOTY.
Arma for children
Yeah we said this in the stream :)
Worth A Buy where do you stream?
Correction: Baby's First Arma
Or, Arma for mainstream "gamers" aka DSPGaming (Dark Syde Phil) "gamers".
(If you don't know who that ass clown is, do yourself a favor and never look him up)
his mackscorner channel
osip.. he streams right here.. utube. sub and check his channel
2019 the game is great, it's fixed, new stuff every week, with update every 1 to 2 mounts. I have a friends to play with (on a PC of course, fuck consoles). It never gets old, even after playing for few hours straight. It's a heavy game sure, but not for 1080. There is 4v4 multiplayer. It does have microtransactions, but you can get unique weapons simply by playing the game. And for all haters out there - you can suck it madafackaaas!
Holy crap, finally a reviewer actually pronounced Ubisoft correctly!!!!
mac its the view distance that rekts fps that really stress the cpu . if you turn on nvidias DSR an play at a higher resolution that shifts more of the load on to the gpu thats what i did. an i have a gtx 1070 with a i7 5820k @ 4.4ghz now im getting a lot more fps
Ghost was 4v4 pvp came out , only has casual mode so far but ive been having a blast with it.
It's on sale on Ubisoft store + coupon. Still worth a buy in 2022? Cheers, Mack!
Bought it off eBay last week for £7 and absolutely loving it. All HUD and screen icons turned off and doing it solo. Having a blast
@@LOSTBHOY88 I will try it. Thanks.
New hud options change your opinion?
thankyou for covering both single player and multi. I don't play online multi, all I'm interested in is single player, so now from your coverage I know not to waste my 💰
A decent single player campaign seems rare as hens teeth these days.
Multiplayer is definitely wank, always has been 🐝 developers need to get a life and get some imagination, unfortunately it seems they only do as little as required to pass it off as passable.
BTW, this channel deserves to have at least 1,000,000 subscribers. When that day comes, I bid you, don't lose your roughneck natural style and honesty. That's why we watch. Thanks again for the reviews, is it Worth A Watch?
This is on steam sale now. Is it worth a buy?
If you wana fuck around with gunplay and stealth or customize your own super soldier with modded guns....yes it can be tons of fun. Driving feels weird but its not important. But it will be boring without friends if you beat the missions the same way every time and little reason to play it after you beat the story. People say "play harder then its not boring" but if you play on extreme//tier 1 you literally do the missions the exact same 2 or 3 ways to ensure you win. The tier 1 system is just hack bullshit and grindy as hell. Dont buy the season 1 and season 2 pass just get the regular game. The added content in those gold and ultimate editions are useless trash that wont be in ur main game. Basically standalone stories and pvp classes for the multiplayer side game which is also trash. Don't listen to elitists, buy the game on sale, play at a difficulty you can have fun and do w/e you want (gta kinda fun) and enjoy it for what its worth. If you want to play a tactical mil sim game with realistic bullets, then no get something like Arma 3 instead. The game is basically an arcade version of Arma mixed with some GTA and Farcry elements.
mack, what are your thoughts on styx shards of darkness, and are you gonna be reviewing it?
Maybe one day. I live in hope. I'd be interested whether he''d ding it off for the dialogue or if the gameplay would make it up for him.
I dont mind the enemy markers but as soon as i can turn them off and not EVERY marker i will.
You should do a worth a buy on
Fallout New Vegas or Fallout 3, really good games :)
I agree with this game being fun. I rarely get into a game and for some reason I'm hooked on this, I can't stop playing despite its many flaws...
alliens that team up with the drug cartel and rebels that you clone in a facility that fight for you. im dying
Iv played this game with 3 mates and have been having a blast. That said, I am doing it the same as you where I hav ebeen disabling the minimap and markers for big enemy encounters....but have to re-enable for item locations. I have really enjoyed the multiplayer experience here....but single player sucks.
Well at least all gamers are not think as shite, you are one of the few people that get this review or game.
10:40 The weapon part literally flashes. :D
I completely agree about the markers. I got so frustrated I left them on myself i think the way to go is to make them not appear while playing on extreme they already removed heat signature from the mini map they might as well go the extra mile in making it challenging. The AI is pretty bad to the AI detection and accuracy is ridiculous and they can spot the tip of your head behind a rock at 300m at 2am in game.
how do developers manage to create such a beautiful world in a game only to shit on it ?!
Rushing to get that money + throwing dlc and "packs" at consumers to get more money
off topic mack, but have you seen the gameplay reveal for shadow of war? I know you enjoyed the nemesis system in the first one, so this should get you excited.
Best way to buy games for PC nowadays is to wait a year. Lagging buying games a year out will save you from paying full price for shit games.
Yep, on sale right now for $15, checked this video out because I wanted to see if it's any good. Looks like I'll pass.
you are very honest. however with this one, you got it wrong. this is a very good game and the best ps4 game I have ever played
Good use of a drone checking out that burds rack at the party....
I'm sorry that you're having problems Mack, my heart and thoughts are with you buddy. Please take care of yourself.
well that is incredibly surprising i was fully expecting MAK to roast this game
If you watched it all which clearly you could not have done you would see that i totally roasted the game.
it was sarcasm :)
thats why im a brit
Mack have you ever considered doing a Worth a Play for War Thunder?
Also, any thoughts on the Escape from Tarkhov that's in development?
I played beta solo, and with Markers off and the 3rd difficulty option, it was enjoyable. as for the capture missions, u fail once, then u notice his uniform and just don't shoot him the next. but I guess in the near future that MAY receive some patches. To customize markers that is.
tom clancy is rolling in his grave
you say that as if he was the fucking modern day Charles Dickens
the Charles Dickens of airport paperbacks, then. It's cool, I don't read anything high brow myself. Warhammer 40k novels all the way, lol
he's clearly not rolling in his grave! or what do you think why he is there?
He already dead
Just a note the game gives a warning when you click ultra that it will challenge high end rigs. 1070 is the 5th fastest card (1080,1080ti,titanX,titanXP) so of course your going to have lower frames. Nividia partnered with these guys and helped with the graphics so the optimization is most likely helped or even handled by nividia. Great video though!
ubisoft needs to fire all of their writers and use an AI chatbot instead, that'd greatly improve their games. they'd make the best gaems to buy on sale
Press minus on the numpad to quickly turn the hud on and off
Ghost Recon: Wild Division
ZeROStarGaming nope
Ghost Cry: wild devision
I played Assassin's Creed Black Flag recently. The game is good, apart from the usually abysmal controls. But they've put x-ray vision in it, but they call ir *Eagle* vision (ding...ding...ding). I know that previous games had Eagle vision too but at least you couldn't see the enemy through walls. Why do they put it in modern games? At least an option to turn it off would be nice.
The same is with Far Cry 3. In the game you don't have binoculars which would be pretty useful. Instead you have to use a camera to scout out an area from a distance but it automatically tags the enemies and you can see them through the walls.
It has the glowing markers telling you where the bad guys are!! LOL
