Your exactly right. I'm so sick of it I stopped with modern gaming after the PS3, I just don't care for it anymore. I went back and to my old SNES, PS1, PS2 (I mostly play J-RPG's) and I'm just so relieved a game is the cartridge or the disc and that's it. Yes some games have bugs but I enjoy them when stumbling upon them. No micro transactions, no updates, no messages of: BUY KNOW FOR THIS AND THIS CRAP DLC PROMO CODE LIMITED SUPER RARE bla bla bla, no FTP, no time limited grinding or expeditions (sure there is grinding but now it's just getting ridiculous in my opinion). For example: with Lufia which I'm playing again, now playing 2 again it's just me, the game , the guide and the Yes it's more simple, it's more basic but for me it's one thing I rarely find these days, it's fun instead of another chore.
Blub Bloob oh man ur comment sums up almost everything i feel about gaming. when i read ur comment i finally don't feel alone in it. multiplayer games can be fun but now its a bloody apocalypse!!!!! gta5 now online multiplayer dragons dogma now online multiplayer. why? cause online multiplayer is exploitable for micro transactions. i don't feel like i own any games any more and all the games i used to like either died or turned into online multiplayer with pay to win mechanics. i got a new gaming pc first one actually. its great ivy bridge i7 gtx 970. im blowing games away!! but i find myself buying my old xbox 360 and ps3 games for my pc. why? cause all the new shit has greedy buisness practices in it. the only new game im playing on pc isnt even really new its 7days to die and its the only next gen game iv been playing. i dont even look forward to triple AAA games anymore heck i always ignore them when i see them. thanks for sharing that comment atleast now i know im not alone.
Except for that paying any money is 100% optional and I know for a fact you can get through the game without spending a penny if you want to. People are just lazy anymore and want everything in a game handed to them. If you feel like you need to spend money to have the chance to get top of the line stuff because that's the only way for you to play the game than you are terrible at the game and that is your issue not theirs.
Summary It's a fun game ruined by F2P mechanics and there are way too many of them. The man hours of development seem to have been spent on ensuring you run out of all the resources very quickly due to horrible RNG, painfully limited bag space and the fact that you destroy most of your loot levelling stuff up which then gets destroyed once it's been used for a while. They then offer a easy solution, buy loot Pinata that has a chance to drop everything you need, you can either use real cash or the painfully slow accumulation of in game credits. Not many man hours seem to have gone into the main part of the game. It's a huge shame that we have probably the best building mechanics ever, great control and gun play, beautiful graphics and sound and a nice world loot system where you can break apart anything for materials and it's all ruined by a shallow repetitive grind that becomes boring after a few hours. I am staggered that the main game is so dull, many missions force you to repeat them as you have to kill X number of special zombies but only half of them appeared in the game you just played so pop back in for another 30 mins of looting, grinding, building, shooting of the same shit. It will not doubt get heaps of praise as Epic Games have already bought a huge number of RUclipsrs who are more than willing to blow sunshine up the arse of this game www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/search-for-survivors/commanders in return for loot ;) It's also on console so I expect a huge amount of love for a game that is as shallow as puddle for gameplay and deep as an ocean for loot. It's not terrible, it's quite fun and I will play it again for sure, it's just not worth the ridiculous asking price when it's totally set up for F2P. The game does not know what it is at the moment, it's Pay to play with F2P mechanics and it totally does not work.
Worth A Buy I think it is going to be F2P anyways. I think they said sometime in 2018 this was just early access. Shit they are charging $60 bucks on console. I think I will wait until next year to play this for free thanks for the review and the heads up.
Worth A Buy Its exactly as you say. Greed, Gambling, Pay2Progress. The worst. And i played Archeage. I could be a great Game. Totally ruined by shady Business Tactics. And the suits getting Richerererrrrrrrr...
just noticed this is from epic games, really shameless shit from them I did NOT expect. My respect for them has gone beyond negative. I thought there were an actual pc gaming company with legit games and now we get this shit. Terrible
Kind of sad that artistic styles have been so heavily associated with cancerous games. I prefer a game with good art over a realistic game. But many stylized games have been straight dogshit.
@Glorious BastardDood even rainbow six has been made more flashy and appealing to attract a younger audience. Apex legends has to have the cute characters like fucking overwatch. The games just feel like the developer knows kids will buy anything if they make it a certain way or have it hyped up by these over exited RUclipsr cunts. Constant little stupid emotes of people doing dances you see kids all over middle school doing. Rating doesn't mean shit. Loot boxes are aimed at children and dumb people as well.
I've met a lot of mothers around my area who's children play this game constantly and some of them were saying that they end up spending hundreds of pounds on micro-transactions and add-ons and all sorts of bullcrap. and they just accept it and say "well it keeps them happy, I'll buy it" I mean come on! I work in a store and someone bought "the winter pack edition" where you just get a few new guns, outfits and a few vehicles for the player for £20 and she said "it's really good for the price" (probably not aware it's a free to pay game) obviously I couldn't tell her not to buy it but man... I hate modern gaming. just preying on innocent children and un-suspecting parents who think this is normal.
@Silvio Balaško let's face it. As long as there are dumb kids and push over parents who are willing to spend money on this crap, it's never gonna end, in fact there will be more and more micro-transactions and even "18+" games (look at cod) are playing along with the battle royal style and meme culture comedy with silly guns and cosmetics that are only really there to incite kids into buying said items. Remember when the Kardashians made millions off that terrible phone game? well, if that trash can earn millions then imagine how much big companies like this are getting away with. From a business stand point, stopping this now would be dumb and I'm afraid the games of old are unfortunately withering away and now all were getting is online only (easier to sell micro-transactions that way) grind fests where little kids can easily defeat you not because of skill, but because of pay to win bullshit. the gamers aren't getting any better and god help me when I have kids and they start playing games like fortnite. Hell maybe I'll only let em play singer player only games, they may hate me for it, but these shady companies ain't worth it.
Don't let this shit talking put you off. seriously... I have not paid a cent, and have legendary items and so forth. I average at least 4 lama's and 1 founders lama per day.
No way!, I was literally just watching Fortnite on twitch an hour ago and thought "I wonder if Mack is doing a worthabuy on this soon? i'd love to see that" Thanks mack!
Another game ruined by greedy businessmen. Just release a full priced game and make the progression system fun instead. I love skill trees when they are done right. But with this design, the online community will be dead in a month, and all your microtransactions buried with it.
Waited since 2013 for this game and I was so excited and it looked so fun, and then everyone shits on it. sucks it's not worth it. thanks for saving me money, man.
Games like team fortress 2 are amazing free to play although u can buy items etc with real money u can get plenty of them by playing the damned game this costs money upfront currently and is pay to win come on developers just need to try to make a GOOD game not a GOOD scam of a game or just something to milk the players off of
If that was so it would have already happened. Instead what we have seen in recent years, especially on PC, is a huge revival of indie games. The "non-idiots" will always stick to good high production games or indie games and the games produced for the masses won't stop this! :)
Table Flip that's not true though I've seen hackers in LITERALLY every single game I've played and trust me I've played a lot of games recently.So I highly doubt that in this game hackers won't be present
Loopy Longplays mack is a liar. Trust me just spend 30 bucks and u wont have any pay walls or issues unless u just suck at games. It super easy to level up and get good shit without paying a dime extra
yeah my dude its so easy to level up and you definitely dont hit a huge pay wall when you enter the second zone, if you get this game for free from a friend dont say no as the first zone is actually fun but when you get into the second zone it becomes a grind and all you are doing is waiting for a daily mission that will give you v bucks
Thanks Mac, glad i waited when you commented to me you had a Fortnite video coming. I was really on the fence on this one and you only confirmed my suspicion that this was pay for early access to play a beta with a pay-to-win implement , saved me 39.99 USD. A damn shame, had a good aesthetic.
yeah, it came out of alpha and you are paying for early access beta. You will have something that the "f2p" people will not (some characters) but that is about it.
How can something that doesn't even have pvp, be p2w. :l Plus you get too much good shit from it to be p2w. I already got many of the best weapons in the game, yet I'm only starting the second area. The problem will come when it actually does go free to play but as it stands, even if you buy the just the base game. You get so much shit, its not even funny. Its like they turned a 35 pound bundle into a 100 pound one. Plus the limited edition, only worth thing is the 3 game coppies, which on their own is 105 pounds. So you're only paying like 15 more pounds for the limited edition. Which is why its so funny that people complain about the big packs being bad.
This whole "free to play" industry is just so abhorrent. Developers are basically throwing in the towel when they make a F2P game... They're basically telling you that their game is so terrible, they have to major in the psychology of gambling in order to prey on a demographic of addicts to make their game profitable (in an industry where most of them fail).
wait so when payday 2 gave away 3 million copies of the game for free they were saying that the game has become shit ya nice try make a better argument
This is one of the funniest videos I have ever watched. I was curious about this game because I heard it is very popular, but now I know it is not something I would care to play. Thanks for the good info and the laughs.
Orcs Must Die and Orcs Must Die 2 were fun little tower defense games where you got to set up functional traps and kill loads of things, while enjoying yourself immensely, for about $20 for either, on launch - very unlike Unchained which, as you correctly point out, is similar to Fortnite.
I enjoy the game personally but I understand what you say about it and agree with a lot of your points. Still for some reason I am addicted to the game and can't stop playing it. Good review and keep up the good work Mack :)
What can I say, I love loot grind games such as borderlands and diablo. Nothing like grinding for hours on end to end up with something that you use once, then rinse and repeat :P
It is very important that people with a brain reject this and other games like it. If it even makes a little money they will continue to grind these things out to keep people immersed in these games and keep them too occupied mentally to be aware of how they are becoming slaves.
such a good review mate, what would we do without honest experienced true gamers like yourself that dont bend to corporatocracy fat cats. Personally we should force them to go F2P sooner than later so we can try it ourselves cos we all know this is going F2P this year lol.
Since they diverted their focus to there battle royal mode they haven't even been developing the PVE Save The World which is what we actually paid for. Another sign that they are totally greedy and only care about that one thing, money.
Jason Wolf this review is really bad for the game. Its actually really easy to get llamas in game ive played enough to know. Me and friends brought the standard addition and got legendary items without buying anything with money. This guy just hates the game its actually really fun.
Donzo Stelly He's been playing games for longer than you've existed. He also doesn't call people stupid and cry like a little baby when his favourite gambling fest gets criticised.
I really really like this game and I don't have any trouble finding resources at all... Also all of the loot pinatas are accessible in game. Get a high score on a mission, almost guaranteed a pinata, complete a main mission you get pinatas, collect things in your collection book you get a pinata. Farm resources for fifteen minutes you can max out your building blocks. This game is a blast with friends. Also EVERY SINGLE task you complete gives you XP cards. EVERY SINGLE TASK. That's my experience.
You prolly dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm then you can watch all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my gf for the last few days :)
This game looked great a few years ago conceptually but it's just become an average p2w already PAID game and checks all the corporate boxes to become another average grindy mmo.
you don't need to pay extra for the game this guy just doesn't like it it's a fun game to play if you like a little bit grinding but yeah everyone complains that games aren't grindy enghoug this days then they make a grindy game with a lot of content in it then they say it's bad becouse it takes to long to play
I downloaded this for MP and its so fun! I play solo squads and every game for me is intense. I was gonna check your review to see what you'd say so I could talk shit but this was just too funny and it looks like you really do take the time to give a game a fair shake.
Let me guess what it'll be like : Wow this Weapon looks fking cool, oh wait....I need to GRIND LIKE HELL to get a chance to get this material or PAY PAY PAY PLATINUM TO GET THEM *Ding Ding Ding Dinggggg*
+HellomynameisRyanfirstoutindeedgooglelikesmesomuchtheybotheredmeuntilmynamewasthislong Not if you know people like me in warframe. I am glad too help anyone I possibly can
(TL;DR at bottom) There is no way he'll give warframe a proper chance. Everything that can help you either isn't explained (well), or you have to look it up to understand it, the big grind that is part of the game, the in-depth combat that isn't apparent right away (it starts off as a mindless button masher and, depending on what you do, can take a while before it becomes more than that), as well as in-depth pretty much everything means he will most likely have a complaint that isn't valid in one way or another, because it's fixed sooner or later if he does X, Y or Z. Warframe is basically way too big of a game for him to get a proper review for within a week. TL;DR Warframe is far too big a game for him to give a proper review of without eventually spouting out how it's nothing but a big grind fest and how "*THEY JUST WANT YOUR FOOKIN MONEY GUYS! THAT'S ALL THEY WANT NOWADAYS (ding ding dingx100)*". So he'd either have to play it for longer than a week before reviewing it, lest he demonize the game far more than it needs to be.
Sad thing is the only thing game developers want is money yeah sure you need money but shit put making the game a fucking a good game first before everything else
Sexy Rampage this review is really biased for the game. Its actually really easy to get llamas in game ive played enough to know. Me and friends brought the standard addition and got legendary items without buying anything with money. This guy just hates the game its actually really fun.
To be honest, I really like the game. I've only paid for the base game, and have about 30-40 hours. Schematics aren't uncommon, or walled as much as you say. I've not paid for any piñatas, and I've put 90% of the paid currency the daily quests give to me into the BR version of the game. Leveling up your weapons and heroes and traps and all that is easier than this video says, as the xp drops fairly frequently. It takes about 5-10 minutes of grinding to give you enough materials for the next hour or two, and if I devoted an hour to getting enough resources ONLY to make copies of my main guns, I could probably play the rest of the game with the resources I gain. Gaining new schematics isn't too difficult, as they occasionally drop from missions, and you get an abundant amount of mini-piñatas as you play. Events also grant free piñatas every so often, walling even less. You portray this game as a Great Wall of China of sorts, but when you look at it, it's just the American-Mexican border fence.
Oh believe me, it's not a waste for them at all. There's gonna be enough idiots out there who'll be buying piñatas in this cancerous p2w game. They will be laughing all the way to the bank.
izihbo P2W ?... this game is not P2W. Even if you put 1000$ in it you won't get better. Putting money in the game give you a chance of getting something better.
Yeah, paying to get something better, how is that not P2W? If it's a light version of P2W - doesn't matter. P2W/F2P mechanics are still present. Cancer none the less.
There are a lot of different objectives, you just don't start getting introduced to it until part-way through Plankerton. There are also elements - and near the end of Plankerton you get introduced to that. Weaknesses/strengths (think pokemon). At this point traps are pretty dang necessary.
Redman you must be to young to remember when there was no such thing as Steam or anything of the sorts. Before then you had to make an account for every individual company you played a game from. Generally accounts worked across all games made by said company but as soon as you looked else where boom another account. If making a account and remembering a login and password is enough to bar you from a game than gaming probably isn't your thing anyway.
Hi Mac Nice review - I bought the game after watching it as I liked the concepts and the gameplay looked fun. So far i'm having a blast but completely understand why you feel so strongly about some of the mechanics in this game. just thought I'd share my thoughts. Cheers!
After you pay £120 quid for the limited edition you have the option to pay another £80 to upgrade to ultimate which gives you the rest of the legendary heroes and weapons plus two more copies of the game. I bought them both. Kill me.
Fortnite Save The World is to this day not worth a buy. It’s shit. Fortnite Battle Royal is worth a download. Shits free and always changing, well worth trying out and jumping into from time to time. Don’t ever fucking buy the Fortnite PvE mode it’s not worth playing at all and hey, just don’t buy into the item shop and you have yourself a nice cross platform cross/progression game. Not the best but far from the worst. Has always been that way since it’s Battle Royal launched.
So let me get this straight.... You have to PAY for early access, for what will be a F2P game? What in all f*cks?! This type of garbage should be criminal.
Yes it should. Rift was a pay monthly mmo, a good one too, but after years of competing with wow it eventually dropped the monthly charge and went F2P by adding a cash shop. It was all done so well, no underhanded dealings, but when you look at Fortnight it's disgusting. If the game is going F2P in 15 months fine, leave out the F2P elements until then.
I actually thought you would love this game, & was genuinely surprised that you didn't. I only realized why half way through the review, you're either playing solo, OR in the pug queue. My friends and I are having a great time. We share loot, and craft each other our best weapons. Why would you like a Co-Op game if you don't play cooperatively?
I played every mission bar two with friends, i even streamed it with my patreons, it's fun when you get to the base building and defence but even that gets boring after you have protected the van 100 times.
it has RPG elements, along with random loot drops. these are the GOOD points for me. the game would suck if you unlocked everything up front, it would be boring AF. D3 is the same, random loot, skills that unlock over time via XP, incremental improvements to your stats and skills, replay value. etc. although d3 kinda sucks due to how it was managed, the gameplay elements that make an RPG an RPG are what this reviewer is complaining about? its not a competitive game, so get over it, its not pay to win, its a co-op for faks sake. anyway just my opinion. it sounds like you are complaining about how much content is in the game? many players are already reporting there is no need to pay for any additional stuff as you can earn them all in game, and the game will eventually be F2P. I don't usually spend anything for games, but for a game that is good and willing to go F2P, but still make all content available in game via farming at no cost, I will support this game with my money, just because I like that kind of attitude from a company. its not a bad game at all. if you can't handle the complexity, you are better off playing generic shooters
dude this game isn't complex at all and the attitude from the company is "we want money we want money" and i assume when you say D3 you mean diablo 3 which is a game i played and reached lvl 70 paragon i cant even remember. the thing with d3 is that when you progress you progress consistently and can actually put many many many hours into it before it gets to the point where you are just increasing each statpoint by 1 to get higher rifts cleared, but in this game when you hit that wall at about 15 - 20 hours in it takes either countless hours of extremely repetitive grind because theres only 2 maps that are worthwhile so you are just doing the same thing over and over again OR IN THIS GAME YOU COULD JUST SPEND LIKE 50 BUCKS AND PROGRESS WINK WINK WINK
I think I've fallen in love with your manner of game reviewing! Thank you so much for being you. What's with the bell though? is that just for emphasis?
The game is great. Microtransactions are there, but you can earn plenty V bucks in game. You do not have to spend a dime to play. I never spend a dime on game and I have better Items and power level then my friends that spend 150 dollars on game. I hate reviewers like you. Just because RNG loot sytem and grinding games are not your cup of tea you go out your way to make game look bad. Its not perfect, but no where close to being bad like your trying so hard to potray.
Same, there is daily quest you can earn the v-bucks you can spent on the Llamas loot, and i love these game you have to grind to actually unlock stuff, kids now a days want everything fucking unlocked....
It actually isnt. Youre paying 30 for early access. Its like a glorified beta you pay to play early for those that dont want to wait i guess. Its a f2p game with microtransaction. Too much of a grindfest for me to even begin with though. It wont cost me money to play it but i will loose time which is far more important and valuable than money to me. I rather play better games by the time this turns f2p. In 2018 there will be another f2p title im keeping my eye on and im quite sure will be great. Its called Hunt: Showdown. Cant wait to play it.
Fun game. I like to lvl up and unlock something after some grind. That is what makes me to play games. Its just maybe not for everyone. p2w? so pvp is in a game? i mean against who you want to win? :D And a hunt looks interesting but its like just another battleroyale type of game. Who knows there is pvp in Hunt so maybe there will be actual p2w with some microtransactions. I mean you never know now. Gaming is ruined anyway by greed.
He's not wrong. First 3-4 days were awesome.....then.....REPEAT-PAY-REPEAT-PAY-REPEAT Then today they nerfed out the only reliable way to get enough nuts and bolts to keep your guns fed. Now it will be hours and hours of bolt hunting for 20 minutes of gunplay.
«Too much to do» -Mack On a serious note, you can get alot of pinyatas just by playing the game. Each mission is fun to play and unique enough to make me come back. The weapons you get in chests is not always bad and you find enough of them to not require any schematics for a long time. I have the cheapest edition and i am having a blast. EDIT: I am not a very hard person to please, so people can have other oppinions of course!

Yes it's more simple, it's more basic but for me it's one thing I rarely find these days, it's fun instead of another chore.
But this is happening for every other industry out there. It is more like is easier to get greedy in gaming development these days.
Blub Bloob
oh man ur comment sums up almost everything i feel about gaming. when i read ur comment i finally don't feel alone in it. multiplayer games can be fun but now its a bloody apocalypse!!!!! gta5 now online multiplayer dragons dogma now online multiplayer. why? cause online multiplayer is exploitable for micro transactions. i don't feel like i own any games any more and all the games i used to like either died or turned into online multiplayer with pay to win mechanics. i got a new gaming pc first one actually. its great ivy bridge i7 gtx 970. im blowing games away!! but i find myself buying my old xbox 360 and ps3 games for my pc. why? cause all the new shit has greedy buisness practices in it. the only new game im playing on pc isnt even really new its 7days to die and its the only next gen game iv been playing. i dont even look forward to triple AAA games anymore heck i always ignore them when i see them. thanks for sharing that comment atleast now i know im not alone.

Cortez Baldur that's why gaming is garbage unless you play in csgo,dota,league,rocket league and .... uh ... oh uh gaming machine broke
"Balls castrated with tweezers" caught me off guard made me bust out laughing. Thanks Mack.
Vince Baker makes you wonder what goes on in the house of mack
His Sarcasm is legendary !
Love how this game used the Battle Royale as a gimmick first only to get played only for this feature, as the PvE mode is just garbage.
Summary
It's a fun game ruined by F2P mechanics and there are way too many of them. The man hours of development seem to have been spent on ensuring you run out of all the resources very quickly due to horrible RNG, painfully limited bag space and the fact that you destroy most of your loot levelling stuff up which then gets destroyed once it's been used for a while. They then offer a easy solution, buy loot Pinata that has a chance to drop everything you need, you can either use real cash or the painfully slow accumulation of in game credits. Not many man hours seem to have gone into the main part of the game.
It's a huge shame that we have probably the best building mechanics ever, great control and gun play, beautiful graphics and sound and a nice world loot system where you can break apart anything for materials and it's all ruined by a shallow repetitive grind that becomes boring after a few hours. I am staggered that the main game is so dull, many missions force you to repeat them as you have to kill X number of special zombies but only half of them appeared in the game you just played so pop back in for another 30 mins of looting, grinding, building, shooting of the same shit.
It will not doubt get heaps of praise as Epic Games have already bought a huge number of RUclipsrs who are more than willing to blow sunshine up the arse of this game www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/search-for-survivors/commanders in return for loot ;) It's also on console so I expect a huge amount of love for a game that is as shallow as puddle for gameplay and deep as an ocean for loot.
It's not terrible, it's quite fun and I will play it again for sure, it's just not worth the ridiculous asking price when it's totally set up for F2P. The game does not know what it is at the moment, it's Pay to play with F2P mechanics and it totally does not work.
Worth A Buy I think it is going to be F2P anyways. I think they said sometime in 2018 this was just early access. Shit they are charging $60 bucks on console. I think I will wait until next year to play this for free thanks for the review and the heads up.
MPORT it will be F2P in 2018 I will wait and I am not paying $60 for this
Worth A Buy Its exactly as you say. Greed, Gambling, Pay2Progress. The worst. And i played Archeage.
I could be a great Game. Totally ruined by shady Business Tactics.
And the suits getting Richerererrrrrrrr...
just noticed this is from epic games, really shameless shit from them I did NOT expect. My respect for them has gone beyond negative. I thought there were an actual pc gaming company with legit games and now we get this shit. Terrible
Worth A Buy Hey Mack! Please play S.C.P.!!!!
That is hands down the best game review I have ever watched.
The era of cartoon graphics. Can't wait for it to be over.
TF2 did cartoon graphics right imo, the artstyle is timeless
Kind of sad that artistic styles have been so heavily associated with cancerous games. I prefer a game with good art over a realistic game. But many stylized games have been straight dogshit.
Games are litterly made for children though
@Glorious BastardDood even rainbow six has been made more flashy and appealing to attract a younger audience. Apex legends has to have the cute characters like fucking overwatch. The games just feel like the developer knows kids will buy anything if they make it a certain way or have it hyped up by these over exited RUclipsr cunts. Constant little stupid emotes of people doing dances you see kids all over middle school doing. Rating doesn't mean shit. Loot boxes are aimed at children and dumb people as well.
@Ertan Soner Okay bub.
I've met a lot of mothers around my area who's children play this game constantly and some of them were saying that they end up spending hundreds of pounds on micro-transactions and add-ons and all sorts of bullcrap. and they just accept it and say "well it keeps them happy, I'll buy it" I mean come on! I work in a store and someone bought "the winter pack edition" where you just get a few new guns, outfits and a few vehicles for the player for £20 and she said "it's really good for the price" (probably not aware it's a free to pay game) obviously I couldn't tell her not to buy it but man... I hate modern gaming. just preying on innocent children and un-suspecting parents who think this is normal.
@Silvio Balaško let's face it. As long as there are dumb kids and push over parents who are willing to spend money on this crap, it's never gonna end, in fact there will be more and more micro-transactions and even "18+" games (look at cod) are playing along with the battle royal style and meme culture comedy with silly guns and cosmetics that are only really there to incite kids into buying said items. Remember when the Kardashians made millions off that terrible phone game? well, if that trash can earn millions then imagine how much big companies like this are getting away with. From a business stand point, stopping this now would be dumb and I'm afraid the games of old are unfortunately withering away and now all were getting is online only (easier to sell micro-transactions that way) grind fests where little kids can easily defeat you not because of skill, but because of pay to win bullshit. the gamers aren't getting any better and god help me when I have kids and they start playing games like fortnite. Hell maybe I'll only let em play singer player only games, they may hate me for it, but these shady companies ain't worth it.
“ How can we stop these Fuckers from progressing !?! “ .... love the Sarcasm Mack ❤️💕❤️
It's oddly fun but true
"... With tweezers." Do you make these on the spot? They're pure poetry.
Lol
I have not seen the video yet, but saw the prices for the alpha so I know i'm gonna be laughing my ass of here, thanks Mack for making my days better.
I really hated that game it was even more grinding than this game.
this art style is atrocious
Friends have been telling me to buy this all the time. It just doesnt look my type of game and after watching this review I'm definitely not buying it
You have gay friends
Ingore them then go get rich and famous
Awful friends
Microtransactions killing the game before its even out of Early Access.
So glad i never gave this shyte the time of day, thanks for confirming my instinctive disgust of loot games
lmao! This review is like a rerun of a sitcom. I keep coming back to have some laughs.
Which came first? The business model or the game? Hmmmmm.
I am betting on business model and I am not even joking here.
Of course. it feels like the core of the game is the loot system and then they added the game around it.
Sadly the business model comes first with most modern games. Which is why they are mostly shit.
Thanks Mac! This clip made my day! Greetings from Austria
Thanks Mac . . was like 10 seconds away from buying Fortnite but your review has completely changed my mind .. saved me £35 :D
Don't let this shit talking put you off. seriously... I have not paid a cent, and have legendary items and so forth. I average at least 4 lama's and 1 founders lama per day.
Beanzz did you get the game for free then...
Nope, i bought the Deluxe edition, $60
this is game is so much fun this guy is complaining becouse it's to hard for him you just need to learn
No way!, I was literally just watching Fortnite on twitch an hour ago and thought "I wonder if Mack is doing a worthabuy on this soon? i'd love to see that"
Thanks mack!
Another game ruined by greedy businessmen. Just release a full priced game and make the progression system fun instead. I love skill trees when they are done right. But with this design, the online community will be dead in a month, and all your microtransactions buried with it.
Waited since 2013 for this game and I was so excited and it looked so fun, and then everyone shits on it. sucks it's not worth it. thanks for saving me money, man.
Greed like this will be the death of the video game industry.
The problem is there are so many idiots.
spynylcracka it won't kill the industry it'll just remove the talent less hacks that infest the industry.
Games like team fortress 2 are amazing free to play although u can buy items etc with real money u can get plenty of them by playing the damned game this costs money upfront currently and is pay to win come on developers just need to try to make a GOOD game not a GOOD scam of a game or just something to milk the players off of
If that was so it would have already happened. Instead what we have seen in recent years, especially on PC, is a huge revival of indie games. The "non-idiots" will always stick to good high production games or indie games and the games produced for the masses won't stop this! :)
Table Flip that's not true though I've seen hackers in LITERALLY every single game I've played and trust me I've played a lot of games recently.So I highly doubt that in this game hackers won't be present
This is sad, I was looking forward to playing it. Well thanks Mack for saving me time and money.
Loopy Longplays mack is a liar. Trust me just spend 30 bucks and u wont have any pay walls or issues unless u just suck at games. It super easy to level up and get good shit without paying a dime extra
yeah my dude its so easy to level up and you definitely dont hit a huge pay wall when you enter the second zone, if you get this game for free from a friend dont say no as the first zone is actually fun but when you get into the second zone it becomes a grind and all you are doing is waiting for a daily mission that will give you v bucks
Donzo Stelly *20 hours for 1 skill tree*
Thanks Mac, glad i waited when you commented to me you had a Fortnite video coming. I was really on the fence on this one and you only confirmed my suspicion that this was pay for early access to play a beta with a pay-to-win implement , saved me 39.99 USD. A damn shame, had a good aesthetic.
Heard it's going F2P at some point, but it's already P2W. Looks like something built in Project Spark...
yeah, it came out of alpha and you are paying for early access beta. You will have something that the "f2p" people will not (some characters) but that is about it.
How can something that doesn't even have pvp, be p2w. :l Plus you get too much good shit from it to be p2w. I already got many of the best weapons in the game, yet I'm only starting the second area. The problem will come when it actually does go free to play but as it stands, even if you buy the just the base game. You get so much shit, its not even funny. Its like they turned a 35 pound bundle into a 100 pound one. Plus the limited edition, only worth thing is the 3 game coppies, which on their own is 105 pounds. So you're only paying like 15 more pounds for the limited edition. Which is why its so funny that people complain about the big packs being bad.
How is no one else dying of laughter from this video! I was crying like 90% of it! Too funny! Great video!
This whole "free to play" industry is just so abhorrent. Developers are basically throwing in the towel when they make a F2P game... They're basically telling you that their game is so terrible, they have to major in the psychology of gambling in order to prey on a demographic of addicts to make their game profitable (in an industry where most of them fail).
Planetside 2 is one of the few f2p games that doesn't make you jump through hoops to play competently
And Warframe of course
wait so when payday 2 gave away 3 million copies of the game for free they were saying that the game has become shit ya nice try make a better argument
The Real Drunkard Hu paladins
F2p games makes the most money pal
I am in stitches here!
THX for that.
Subbed for sure.
Fancy doing a re review of this? This version of the game seems nothing like the game everybody won’t shut up about these days.
no u!
Not really a wab as the battle royale is free and the save the world mode is still there.
This is one of the funniest videos I have ever watched. I was curious about this game because I heard it is very popular, but now I know it is not something I would care to play. Thanks for the good info and the laughs.
you probably heard of the free version
is this orcs must die pay to win edition?
No, it's not. In Orcs Must Die, the traps actually do something.
H-Tap Orcs must die was repetitive but fun, this is repetitive and boring.
Wasn't Orcs Must Die online pay to win already? So this must then be the upgrade lol
Orcs Must Die and Orcs Must Die 2 were fun little tower defense games where you got to set up functional traps and kill loads of things, while enjoying yourself immensely, for about $20 for either, on launch - very unlike Unchained which, as you correctly point out, is similar to Fortnite.
Actually Orcs Must Die! Unchained is the pay to win edition.
I enjoy the game personally but I understand what you say about it and agree with a lot of your points. Still for some reason I am addicted to the game and can't stop playing it. Good review and keep up the good work Mack :)
You have the loot bug, been nice knowing you :(
What can I say, I love loot grind games such as borderlands and diablo. Nothing like grinding for hours on end to end up with something that you use once, then rinse and repeat :P
It is very important that people with a brain reject this and other games like it. If it even makes a little money they will continue to grind these things out to keep people immersed in these games and keep them too occupied mentally to be aware of how they are becoming slaves.
I love rants like these, they really make my day
you should totally revisit this one
AMAGAD best rant ever! Subbed and I don't even have the game
such a good review mate, what would we do without honest experienced true gamers like yourself that dont bend to corporatocracy fat cats. Personally we should force them to go F2P sooner than later so we can try it ourselves cos we all know this is going F2P this year lol.
I've already watched this video about 10 times now just for the bell action. Fun times :D.
Now even larger companies like Epic are using Early Access/Kickstarter to fund their games??
Just tried playing for a few days and yes Mack, I felt just like my 'balls were castrated with tweezers'.
£120.00 HaHaHaHaHaHaHa
Good review Mac, it's sad to see this happening without having the power to change anything, as a lot of people will still play this.
Looks like a game to avoid like the plague.
B3tanTyronne Good luck
I should have kept my mouth shut...How was I supposed to know? :)
01:14 that bell cracked me up xD.
Only 401 thumbs down? Where is the legion of 15yo fanboys at
I Just watched one video then I fell in love with this channel xD
Since they diverted their focus to there battle royal mode they haven't even been developing the PVE Save The World which is what we actually paid for. Another sign that they are totally greedy and only care about that one thing, money.
love watching this looking at what happend to the game like damn.......
yep lol
Thanks for your truthful review.
A lot of games could have been so fun and so much more without the F2P scam business model !
Jason Wolf this review is really bad for the game. Its actually really easy to get llamas in game ive played enough to know. Me and friends brought the standard addition and got legendary items without buying anything with money. This guy just hates the game its actually really fun.
Donzo Stelly Agreed xD
Donzo Stelly He's been playing games for longer than you've existed. He also doesn't call people stupid and cry like a little baby when his favourite gambling fest gets criticised.
I really really like this game and I don't have any trouble finding resources at all... Also all of the loot pinatas are accessible in game. Get a high score on a mission, almost guaranteed a pinata, complete a main mission you get pinatas, collect things in your collection book you get a pinata. Farm resources for fifteen minutes you can max out your building blocks. This game is a blast with friends. Also EVERY SINGLE task you complete gives you XP cards. EVERY SINGLE TASK. That's my experience.
Mack we badly need your honest review on PYRE, it's getting 11/10 everywhere...
Did you shine the bell symbol over the city hall ;) I will take a look
Please review it.
The art direction on this is so beautiful! Maybe they can polish the gameplay and make it less of a brain drain?
its beyond me how successful this pile of garbage is
love the way you review the game
I think EA was inspired by this when making gamblefront 2
Hahhah Mack! Love your honesty and harshnes. Keep it up and dont change.
Was sort of looking for playing this. Thats disappointing.
You prolly dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm then you can watch all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my gf for the last few days :)
@Kendrick Bode Yea, I have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself =)
@@kendrickbode9189what the what the what the ?
"Balls castrated with tweezers." Lol, classic.
This game looked great a few years ago conceptually but it's just become an average p2w already PAID game and checks all the corporate boxes to become another average grindy mmo.
I was within two seconds of buying this until saw this review ...Thank you ...thank you so much
It's fucking ridiculous that every game has these fucking walls to unlock content you already have these days.
you don't need to pay extra for the game this guy just doesn't like it it's a fun game to play if you like a little bit grinding but yeah everyone complains that games aren't grindy enghoug this days then they make a grindy game with a lot of content in it then they say it's bad becouse it takes to long to play
I downloaded this for MP and its so fun! I play solo squads and every game for me is intense. I was gonna check your review to see what you'd say so I could talk shit but this was just too funny and it looks like you really do take the time to give a game a fair shake.
Can you do warframe?
Let me guess what it'll be like :
Wow this Weapon looks fking cool, oh wait....I need to GRIND LIKE HELL to get a chance to get this material or PAY PAY PAY PLATINUM TO GET THEM *Ding Ding Ding Dinggggg*
+HellomynameisRyanfirstoutindeedgooglelikesmesomuchtheybotheredmeuntilmynamewasthislong Not if you know people like me in warframe. I am glad too help anyone I possibly can
(TL;DR at bottom) There is no way he'll give warframe a proper chance. Everything that can help you either isn't explained (well), or you have to look it up to understand it, the big grind that is part of the game, the in-depth combat that isn't apparent right away (it starts off as a mindless button masher and, depending on what you do, can take a while before it becomes more than that), as well as in-depth pretty much everything means he will most likely have a complaint that isn't valid in one way or another, because it's fixed sooner or later if he does X, Y or Z. Warframe is basically way too big of a game for him to get a proper review for within a week.
TL;DR Warframe is far too big a game for him to give a proper review of without eventually spouting out how it's nothing but a big grind fest and how "*THEY JUST WANT YOUR FOOKIN MONEY GUYS! THAT'S ALL THEY WANT NOWADAYS (ding ding dingx100)*". So he'd either have to play it for longer than a week before reviewing it, lest he demonize the game far more than it needs to be.
Anthony Smith
Warframe is an amazing game tho
Warframe is awesome. Haven't played in awhile though.
I had to come here to hear when the end finally came. I figured Mack would have recognized it. Pure Satan
Sad thing is the only thing game developers want is money yeah sure you need money but shit put making the game a fucking a good game first before everything else
Well yes, don't you also want money from whatever job it is that you do?
anon746912 I mentioned needing money but if its your only worry you tend to make less of it even in the gaming industry this happens
Sexy Rampage this review is really biased for the game. Its actually really easy to get llamas in game ive played enough to know. Me and friends brought the standard addition and got legendary items without buying anything with money. This guy just hates the game its actually really fun.
To be honest, I really like the game. I've only paid for the base game, and have about 30-40 hours. Schematics aren't uncommon, or walled as much as you say. I've not paid for any piñatas, and I've put 90% of the paid currency the daily quests give to me into the BR version of the game. Leveling up your weapons and heroes and traps and all that is easier than this video says, as the xp drops fairly frequently. It takes about 5-10 minutes of grinding to give you enough materials for the next hour or two, and if I devoted an hour to getting enough resources ONLY to make copies of my main guns, I could probably play the rest of the game with the resources I gain. Gaining new schematics isn't too difficult, as they occasionally drop from missions, and you get an abundant amount of mini-piñatas as you play. Events also grant free piñatas every so often, walling even less. You portray this game as a Great Wall of China of sorts, but when you look at it, it's just the American-Mexican border fence.
So in other words, message to the developers. You wasted 6 years of your fucking lives. Hope you can live with that.
Spagman not really, bet they made good money
Oh believe me, it's not a waste for them at all. There's gonna be enough idiots out there who'll be buying piñatas in this cancerous p2w game. They will be laughing all the way to the bank.
I can already imagine the twitch streamers having pinata marathons with viewers donating tons of cash to em to open even more. =/
izihbo P2W ?... this game is not P2W. Even if you put 1000$ in it you won't get better. Putting money in the game give you a chance of getting something better.
Yeah, paying to get something better, how is that not P2W? If it's a light version of P2W - doesn't matter. P2W/F2P mechanics are still present. Cancer none the less.
There are a lot of different objectives, you just don't start getting introduced to it until part-way through Plankerton. There are also elements - and near the end of Plankerton you get introduced to that. Weaknesses/strengths (think pokemon). At this point traps are pretty dang necessary.
So after 40 hours game play they offer you some different objectives, lol great game design.
Yeah, literally the amount of objectives expands a crap ton...and I have to ask why all of the stuff is so far into the game..
So it's a 3rd person mobile game put on steam for more money than it's worth, great.
Not even Steam
It isn't windows 10 only, I have no clue where you heard that from. I am playing it on windows 7.
Redman you must be to young to remember when there was no such thing as Steam or anything of the sorts. Before then you had to make an account for every individual company you played a game from. Generally accounts worked across all games made by said company but as soon as you looked else where boom another account. If making a account and remembering a login and password is enough to bar you from a game than gaming probably isn't your thing anyway.
dude are you stupid? its been out on epic launcher since last year. they literally just put it on mobile
People with loot are like how Gollum is with the ring!! They'd take a rock to their best mate's head just go get it.
I've never seen a game that was worth a shit that had to buy every twitch streamer ever to advertise itself
BadKnightLv01 ol
Hi Mac
Nice review - I bought the game after watching it as I liked the concepts and the gameplay looked fun. So far i'm having a blast but completely understand why you feel so strongly about some of the mechanics in this game.
just thought I'd share my thoughts.
Cheers!
what a disappointment, another game to throw out the wishlist
Angel Entropy man it still on its early days
this is game is so much fun this guy is complaining becouse it's to hard for him you just need to learn
Add to burnlist
I was ringing my bell throughout this video
you sould do a new review update
yes plz, battle royale review
Game companies should hire this guy to play test the shit out of their games for a week before they launch. Always on point with these criticisms.
After you pay £120 quid for the limited edition you have the option to pay another £80 to upgrade to ultimate which gives you the rest of the legendary heroes and weapons plus two more copies of the game. I bought them both. Kill me.
OverlordXeros You've brought shame to us all Mr Xeros SHAME ON YOU
OverlordXeros Thats huge shame.
I put in for a refund yesterday. hopefully i get it.
Mate doing shit like that contributes to giving the gaming industry more cancer than it already has.
A fool and his money are easily parted (no offence ;))
Little did we know what this Game would become....
looks like a mobile game made for the PC, i wondered when they would start doing this.....
Love the reviews and the commentary. What music plays at the end of your vids? Is it something you had done? Cheers.
"This game is good.......
NOT" -Borat
I thought they used the same model as STEAM where most F2P charge while in Early Access and then go F2P on release. Is this not the same?
Fortnite Save The World is to this day not worth a buy. It’s shit. Fortnite Battle Royal is worth a download. Shits free and always changing, well worth trying out and jumping into from time to time. Don’t ever fucking buy the Fortnite PvE mode it’s not worth playing at all and hey, just don’t buy into the item shop and you have yourself a nice cross platform cross/progression game. Not the best but far from the worst. Has always been that way since it’s Battle Royal launched.
1:13 Mac's bell lays down a sick melody
So let me get this straight.... You have to PAY for early access, for what will be a F2P game? What in all f*cks?! This type of garbage should be criminal.
Yes it should. Rift was a pay monthly mmo, a good one too, but after years of competing with wow it eventually dropped the monthly charge and went F2P by adding a cash shop. It was all done so well, no underhanded dealings, but when you look at Fortnight it's disgusting. If the game is going F2P in 15 months fine, leave out the F2P elements until then.
Big H Maybe because with people supporting bad business models in a game. More games will follow.
I actually thought you would love this game, & was genuinely surprised that you didn't. I only realized why half way through the review, you're either playing solo, OR in the pug queue. My friends and I are having a great time. We share loot, and craft each other our best weapons. Why would you like a Co-Op game if you don't play cooperatively?
I played every mission bar two with friends, i even streamed it with my patreons, it's fun when you get to the base building and defence but even that gets boring after you have protected the van 100 times.
it has RPG elements, along with random loot drops. these are the GOOD points for me. the game would suck if you unlocked everything up front, it would be boring AF. D3 is the same, random loot, skills that unlock over time via XP, incremental improvements to your stats and skills, replay value. etc. although d3 kinda sucks due to how it was managed, the gameplay elements that make an RPG an RPG are what this reviewer is complaining about? its not a competitive game, so get over it, its not pay to win, its a co-op for faks sake. anyway just my opinion. it sounds like you are complaining about how much content is in the game? many players are already reporting there is no need to pay for any additional stuff as you can earn them all in game, and the game will eventually be F2P. I don't usually spend anything for games, but for a game that is good and willing to go F2P, but still make all content available in game via farming at no cost, I will support this game with my money, just because I like that kind of attitude from a company. its not a bad game at all. if you can't handle the complexity, you are better off playing generic shooters
dude this game isn't complex at all and the attitude from the company is "we want money we want money" and i assume when you say D3 you mean diablo 3 which is a game i played and reached lvl 70 paragon i cant even remember. the thing with d3 is that when you progress you progress consistently and can actually put many many many hours into it before it gets to the point where you are just increasing each statpoint by 1 to get higher rifts cleared, but in this game when you hit that wall at about 15 - 20 hours in it takes either countless hours of extremely repetitive grind because theres only 2 maps that are worthwhile so you are just doing the same thing over and over again OR IN THIS GAME YOU COULD JUST SPEND LIKE 50 BUCKS AND PROGRESS WINK WINK WINK
I think I've fallen in love with your manner of game reviewing!
Thank you so much for being you. What's with the bell though? is that just for emphasis?
The game is great. Microtransactions are there, but you can earn plenty V bucks in game. You do not have to spend a dime to play. I never spend a dime on game and I have better Items and power level then my friends that spend 150 dollars on game. I hate reviewers like you. Just because RNG loot sytem and grinding games are not your cup of tea you go out your way to make game look bad. Its not perfect, but no where close to being bad like your trying so hard to potray.
Kevin Kidder its a 30$ game that has free to play mechanics.... why are you trying to defend that game?
Same, there is daily quest you can earn the v-bucks you can spent on the Llamas loot, and i love these game you have to grind to actually unlock stuff, kids now a days want everything fucking unlocked....
It actually isnt. Youre paying 30 for early access. Its like a glorified beta you pay to play early for those that dont want to wait i guess. Its a f2p game with microtransaction.
Too much of a grindfest for me to even begin with though. It wont cost me money to play it but i will loose time which is far more important and valuable than money to me. I rather play better games by the time this turns f2p. In 2018 there will be another f2p title im keeping my eye on and im quite sure will be great. Its called Hunt: Showdown. Cant wait to play it.
Billy Bob exactly
Fun game. I like to lvl up and unlock something after some grind. That is what makes me to play games. Its just maybe not for everyone. p2w? so pvp is in a game? i mean against who you want to win? :D And a hunt looks interesting but its like just another battleroyale type of game. Who knows there is pvp in Hunt so maybe there will be actual p2w with some microtransactions. I mean you never know now. Gaming is ruined anyway by greed.
I was thinking about getting this for my wife and myself, nope money saved. Thank you Mack! This game...No piss on that!
Thank you for existing, Mac. I like potatoes.
He's not wrong. First 3-4 days were awesome.....then.....REPEAT-PAY-REPEAT-PAY-REPEAT
Then today they nerfed out the only reliable way to get enough nuts and bolts to keep your guns fed.
Now it will be hours and hours of bolt hunting for 20 minutes of gunplay.
Drew Croy
well i get the feeling ur gonna drop the game soon. glad ur seeing the issue and aren't fanboying this game.
You have made me disillusioned with this game, thanks for the hilarious but brutally honest vid!
I sat 16 min through the vid hearing gambling gambling horrible horrible lmao great vid
This review has just made my day :)
lol that Warcraft tiddly winks line was epic.
«Too much to do» -Mack
On a serious note, you can get alot of pinyatas just by playing the game. Each mission is fun to play and unique enough to make me come back. The weapons you get in chests is not always bad and you find enough of them to not require any schematics for a long time.
I have the cheapest edition and i am having a blast.
EDIT: I am not a very hard person to please, so people can have other oppinions of course!
"It's not pay to win, there's no PvP!"
Yeah, try beating a level 50 boss with a level 10 gun.
Lol so happy to have found your channel..👍
Great to have a hobby where cash grabs are the norm and quality the exception.
