Right, this game's one second-long freezes aren't what micro-stutter means. It's interesting how many gamers misapply the terms used to describe performance problems. "Lag" is when an online game fails to update its status because of network problems, but a lot of people use it to refer to frame rate dips, or "slow down."
Even on a 65" tv, they are unnoticeable. The camera is so close you basically just have to dodge around until all of the enemies are in sight. Which isn't long mind you because developers love to spawn enemies behind you.
Them guys really were so rushed that they just copied and pasted 2018 God of War's combat mechanics without any consideration because some guy in a Suits just told them to do what's popular.
It's like the Railjack missile indicator in Warframe being comically undersized on launch, but that game gets updates, is free, and might actually have fixed it by now.
it wasn't overlooked. They probably just rushed the whole development of the game so it was in time for the launch of the PS5. F76 vibes, the direction of the dev team is a mess, they know it's shit, they ship it anyway and hope that they somehow break even
This looks like it was an Unreal Engine project, and if so, it's probably a result of suddenly loading shaders that are part of the particle explosions the moment before they ignite. There should be ways of working around that though, so it probably was just a rushed delivery bug that never got fixed.
I have a "not-overkill-config" (2700X + 1080ti, no OC, 16Gb ram) and it runs very smoothly on 1440p@144 fps with everything on Ultra / High (and no motion blur, because... well it's motion blur). So on that part I blame some configs / drivers not being up to date more than the game. But it doesn't make excuses for the other flaws the game has.
@@MrEnvisioner The particles aren't even good, they just mean that you can't see shit when you're mashing away. A reasonable game developer would remove/reduce them.
It's fucking horrible. It's so incredibly uninspired, generic, shiny and shit-looking. Everything looks the same. Nothing has any depth or identity. How bad can ones taste be. Jesus christ.
@@Slutabara some are pretty designed and can look cool, it's like bad generic plastic-looking fantasy warframe and warframe looks sick so it's not that bad
@@Shreeram-Narayanan It's not about the tech, but how you use it. And just jamming particle effects in a game instead of actual tech innovation is laziness on the part of the Devs.
@@Alepap. Warframe handles effects a lot better than Godfall does, and they have a lot of settings you can modify. Combat is a lot more fluid there, too.
Little detail: Monster Hunter World has animation cancelling, in fact it is one of the more advance techniques. You can cancel almost any recovery after attacks by rolling, you can cancel charge attacks by rolling or some other actions (like buff on hammer or shoulder charge on GS), you can cancel recovery into reloading on ammo weapons, and some of the regular attacks and comboes could be cancelled into other moves. But the attack cancelling itself is pretty rare, almost everything applies to recovery frames to chain different moves.
I wanted to comment that at first but after looking at the rest of the combat system I think comparing it to MH its just too easy. A master piece of a combat system compare to this pile of garbage... its just sending a nuke against a single soldier. Only combat system that overshadows MH is Devil May Cry. Those two are the top of the foodchain for me. Not even Ninja Gaiden or God Hand come close
@@quelatielofmirrah188 I cant speak for Sekiro since I havent tried it but for sure Ill play it after that praise. I would be surprise if it holds a knee to DMC though. That combat is both tight and flexible at the same time. Its mechanically rich as well as expressive. And absolute blast when you mastered it but still fun in the beginning
@@Jefstito sekiro is tight in the way guitar hero on expert is tight. The path is already made for you, and if you try to do your own thing your dead. Not my favorite game but I loved the rest of the souls series so much for the opposite reason.
There should be a pavlovian aversion therapy for game devs so that every time they try to put motion blur into a game they get an electric shock, and the more blur the stronger the shock gets.
I think because it looks likes some Golden Era civilisation before they were wiped out. Then you get lore for these old civilisations that perished. Like in God of War.
@@leaflingonline7230 “general consensus” is not “popular to hate”. He might be overdoing it that it’s the worst looter launch, but the general consensus is that game is woefully unfinished, shallow and even if it wasn’t - the amount of content does not match the price tag in any possible way.
Yeah no its actually better then Anthem and such. I round the combat really fun, reminds me of God of War ps4 with the shield throw instead of the axe.
$70 is an absurd price, even for games who goes beyond on a technical standpoint like Red Dead 2 or something. Imagine a typical garbage plagued with DLCs, micro transactions, patches, etc.. I know the cattle will pay 10 bucks more because their ignorance knows no limits, but it's sad to see how this hobby devolved. Say what you will about nintendo, they have their own myriad of issues, but they at least provide honest and polished content
@@RRRRRRRRR33 I mean many companies provide great games, just not Nintendo. I think people like to think/believe online games and live service games dominate the market because they dominate controversy headlines, but they really don't. I play so many games and outside of Avengers and microtransactions and Ubisoft games (smh), I have a huge collection of great games that aren't microtransaction disasters lol
It's just clearly that the director or designer don't really enjoy this type of genre but just want to hop on the trend. Otherwise they would know the problem long ago. Not enough customize, not enough boss variation, not enough build variations.they should just copy MH formula and the game would become A tier instantly.
Even before hearing this review, this game's combat looked extremely...generic button-mashing on damage sponges. (I remember a friend recommending me this because "it's inspired by Monster Hunter," and I went "oh stop joking lol") After hearing SkillUp's analysis, I'm horrified that a game trying to sell melee was designed like this. "At least its combat is good" is not a redeeming quality, unless it's like Dragon's Dogma good. It's kinda insulting that this line is used as a defense for such a technically flawed combat design.
@Ivanna Sukurdic hay, that's a fair stance to take. I'm of the opinion that you absolutely have to get your gameplay right. If you don't do well on story, I've got the gameplay to enjoy. But in the inverse, you could have made this a movie and it would be objectively better. (or a book, or comic, etc.)
Without gameplay, it’s just a fucking story that’s tedious and boring to ‘read’ through. Without story, it’s still a game. What do we call something that lacks both? Trash
I'll have you know a Japanese guy turned a turd into a razor sharp knife. But...he can make knives out of anything. This game wants to be a polished turd knife but it's dull.
Well the shininess is fitting to the theme "GodFall". Makes you remember Olympus or at least what you'd expect. So i'm not really in agreement with that the game looks sht but the particles are def too much and all his other points have credit.
@@Gurem I mean some areas could look shiny and olympian and whatnot, but at least have some variety in your level design and NOT have gilded gold everywhere.
This is my second time watching this review. I find it even better the second time. God-damn, Skill Up! You can really lay it on thick when AAA title fails to be good.
@@tyler9255 Yea I haven't played Warframe in years but Godfall is just a worse clone of it trying to charge full AAA price (They even wanted to charge $70 instead of $60) Like Skillup said, even if it was F2P I wouldn't recommend it.
My brother is a play tester for this game, and according to him they actually didn't even originally plan to have loot systems in the game, but Gearbox demanded it did because I guess that's a feature for all of their games and they wanted it in this one too. So basically one of the only remotely decent features of the game wasn't even originally intended (and why a lot of it doesn't affect how your character looks). Also he has been play testing the game for months and says the game regularly drops below 20fps on the PS5 and they don't intend to fix it, and actually a lot of the bugs he reports for the game do not get fixed and are usually deemed as intended interactions despite the fact that they are clearly not. Basically most phoned in launch title of all time. He wants to quit his job because he's been on the project for so long and the game is so shit lol.
As a fellow playtester on a major title, this doesn't surprise me one bit. Performance is the biggest thing that devs seem adamant on leaving untouched while QA has to wrestle with it not only ruining our tests, but player experience, as well. My condolences to your brother - hope he found a better project to work with.
@@vulteres Right now they're working on mobile releases for some of the old GTA games I believe, so him and his team are enjoying that a lot more. Plus he got promoted since I made that post and he's actually the QA team lead now.
Exactly! Yes! The moment i was done with the trailer... i had no words how boring it sounded. There was nothing except the visuals. I was like: "seriously? You said you want to create a next-gen, awesome game... and THIS is the story you go with?" I was amazed, that this is it. No regrets of never touching this.
I love how this game is basically a vastly more publicized RPG game on your phone that you see everywhere. There are literally hundreds of those games that are so overly flashy with absolutely no substance and are basically trash in all ways.
We are simultaneously living in both the best and worst times to be a gamer. The tech has come so far to deliver us stunning looking worlds to play in, yet there are very few devs that are anything more than greedy money hounds that care not one bit about after sales satisfaction.
Games look less and less impressive as time goes on. Its the art style that really gives life to a games graphics. also as games look better, less and less resources and time goes to actually making incredible gameplay. I feel like most studios dont take advantage of the tech. Games have gotten less and less creative overtime. More realistic but gameplay still the same. Nothing incredible or different.
@@vice2versaI agree with most of what you said but overall gaming has never been as diverse and creative as it is right now. The problem is the casual gamer, they accept generic, cookie cutter crap constantly and are easily suckered into hype and pre-order scams. Studio's know they only need to chase trends and do the bare minimum to get maximum profit. We need to raise our standards and vote with our wallets
I was actively looking for them as he mentioned them... and until he physically pointed them out on screen, I still couldn't see them. Freaking style over substance.
I only noticed them before he mentioned because I was looking for something like that thinking "there is no way this combat functions without any indicators from enemy attacks... oh, these almost invisible arrows are supposed to do that..."
@candyman I agree, I love both games and I feel like Nioh has become it's own thing rather just another souls-like. Both games are equally good in their own right none of them "better" than each other.
"It's not even the worst part of this game; that award goes to the combat." When you hear this 12 minutes into a 34 minute review, you know it's gonna be bad
@@Rachis01 his complaints are objective statements, even if he got used to those bad design decisions they would still be bad. Being good at paying attention to very small attack indicators, getting to know every single ability so you can guess what's happening behind the plethora of particle effects, getting used to horrible enemy design which are programmed to just teleport away or put a thing on the ground that forces you to just wait for5 seconds for no reason, you can do those things, sure, but it wouldn't make those problems go away; you'd just be adjusting to a lot of horrible decisions to try a push through and have maybe some compromised and partial fun. Good for you if you can do that but again, it doesn't cancel those flaws, you're just ignoring them.
A weirdly comforting video I come back to time and time (alongside Anthem + Fallout76) to remind me that games journalists like SkillUp will not let games whisk away our hard earned cash like thieves in the night without laying the full thing out for the world to see. Cheers, mate, keep it up.
This review is 100% false and skillup dosen't know how to play fcking video games this game is for ppl who like a challenge and is meant for long play hours thats not good for game journalist this was the same guy complaining about how difficult an enemy in doom was
I love how well u called this out. The game is now free to play but it’s not only free to play but they are giving u a fully upgraded build so u don’t waste time hating the grind so u can run in and hate the combat even fully powered up.
Im pissed (not actually pissed i dont mind) cause i made the comment saying its GodawFall on FuzzyBarbarians review a week before this review even dropped.
People: "Previous gen is holding back creators to accomplish their vision." Next Gen Godfall: "My vision is gold, mirrors, and explosions at the expense of everything else."
@@CarrotConsumer A fantasy Warframe would be cool af. In fact a spin off game set during the Old War or Orokin Empire era would be so sick playing as a Dax warrior fighting alongside epic Prime or Umbra frames. A living breathing Orokin colony. The lore of Warframe describes the world before the events of the game so vividly it would be sick to experience it, Warframe despite the updates with Fortuna, Plains and Demios still feels kind of lonely.
@@chilliam00 because of the lack of story. im talking about the main game story, lotus and stuff. of course each update has its own story and things but its just not as good
@@arin2075 It's quite possibly the most savage line I ever heard this guy mutter... a guy known for his exquisite and intricate and cleverly crafted and worded reviews that are for the most part, generally positive; not even anthem or destiny got this much of a beatdown. To hear THIS guy say something like that, is truly savage. Also I'm predicting this game BEFORE it goes f2p it goes "free on PS plus and THEN f2p" if there even is such a thing.
"You have to wait until the animation is over and then block." So that means it doesn't get queued at all. In fact, if you have to wait for anything to finish before a new input gets registered, that means there is no queuing in that case.
@@n1lknarf Which doesn't work here because this isn't smash bros this is a hack and slash where you're constantly surrounded by enemies with nigh unblockable/undodgable attacks.
I honestly have no problems with the art style. I like it. However, everything else is what makes me grateful that I did not pre-order it. I'll stick to Warframe, thank you.
The thing is, orokin has better color design specifically due to it being gold and MORE THAN ZOGGING GOLD. The black and whites help to keep it from being too glaringly stark while still emphasizing how empty the place is and it's possible past opulence. Godfall meanwhile looks like some forgotten set of some mid-2018 summer movie.
The perfect game that represents 2020 as a whole, 187 Australian dollars with the coveted title of “will go free to play or get deleted”.. Bravo Godfall, bravo...
It's good to know that we're still getting undercooked shit like this even with the new generation of systems now. Oh how these companies never cease to amaze me😂
Things i loved about the game: - The design of the armors - Fun combos - No cut scenes , or labyrinth in the maps, just plain hack and slash -The price , wich was $0 Things i hated about the game: -Buggy as hell -Armors are the same thing, i though if you had the lion armor, you could have lion powers or maybe have a couple of lions by your side , noup. It just shines for a second and thats it. No point in having all the armors at all, -Once you spend you north power, you feel powerless agains anything, and you are just dashing everywere waiting for your "E" power to end its cooldown, same with the shield throw. -You archon power is barely ever used, it takes so long to charge it, that once you obtain it, you almost done with the mission. Conclusion: Bastly dissapointed.
@@insanesarcasm6132 Though I wish to say that the game is a beautiful representation of what the PS5 can offer visually, all I can see was diarrhea Christmas lights.
While it's a cool reference. That take from GF reviews was shit. Just because you don't understand the combat when you backseat doesn't mean it isn't good once you actually play it
I saw the trailer and thought it would be amazing, then saw the gameplay trailer and was frankly disgusted by the combat, so mushy with no audio or visual feedback, and awful stat systems, I just don't understand how someone can look at this and say "yeah looks good to me publish it"
@@Chris.Smith420 I didn't mean it looked graphically similar to a phone game, but the story progression , levels, combat, etc. It honestly seemed like this game started as a phone game and was bumped up to a console.
Why else do you think nobody reads gaming reviews these days? People know those losers don't have the attention span to actually play the game and observe the technical details.
@Benjamin McCann watching a movie or TV show requires no motor skills on the user's part. There is no fail state in a movie or TV show and the experience is the same for every user, and you get to watch it to the end no matter what. Games can be too hard to finish, difficulty is entirely subjective, and you can't fully enjoy a super tight combat design with layers and layers of depth if you don't have the motor skills or reaction times to do so. That's why "game movies" get unanimous positive press. I mean you should at least know how to swing a bat, before giving out bat reviews. But anyone can comment on how good a match was. Because everyone can watch, but few can play.
@@wertirwertir4235 yup and It looks quite similar . God I love this kind of style a mix of medieval with technology and magic. And overall this game is good but can get a bit repetitive after awhile playing
This game will go F2P. There needs to be a law that states: "If a game goes free to pay within a year of purchase, buyers receive a full refund". Cause these games are becoming paid betas for a soon-to-be F2P game.
Hahahah dude I seriously paused the video and ranted at my buddy about the same exact thing! If he's played MH, he must be a dual blader and only demon dances
He's wrong, but not completely. There IS animation cancelling, but not all the time, example for all the weapons mentioned: cancel out of your claw attack follow up fly thing, hammer. Cancel out of your attack the exact frame it hits, dooter. Cancel out of your perfect rush mid strike, the frame after it hits, SnS. So yeah, he IS wrong, but you don't have TOTAL cancellation freedom.
This game is over-designed. It feels like they hired an artist and after he finished the design, they hired another artist to design over the previous artist, then hired another one and another one and another one...
As someone who is dumb enough to have bought this game and played 40+ hours of it i agree with everything you said and for anyone who is interested the endgame ascended tower is suppose to have an infinite scaling but it stops scaling at level 60 and the rewards from it are extremely underwhelming both in frequency and quality. For perspective i cleared 25 floors of the tower and i recieved 2 legendary items neither of which were good for my selected 'build'. The level 50 version of the solaris fight is also one of the single worst encounters i have ever experienced it is the disgned to not be played essentially because you can't do anything during the whole fight because there is fire everywhere
"[Seventy dollars] is daylight robbery and Gearbox should be ashamed of themselves for selling it." I have it on good authority that Randy Pitchford has no shame.
That's how the Transformers movies were. The human eyes can't focus on all the details of the Tranformers (when in their robot form) . Therefore it looks like a mess.
@@JDMEXforme omg that explains legit so much for me, my friends all went to see it once and i couldn’t keep my eyes on those robots without trouble, so that must’ve been why i was struggling with it, because i remembering leaving and being like “damn that sucked, i wasn’t able to enjoy that at all, my eyes just hurt” to one of my friends.
Also, for monster hunter. 1. there is animation canceling, especially rolling out of attacks, items etc. but not everything can do this 2. the things you can't animation cancel are by design. you have to commit. this allows more skill expression.
I wouldn't say "animation" cancelling since that gives the impression you can roll out at any point in the attack. Monster Hunter more uses "recovery cancelling", where you can roll immediately after the attack finishes and allows you to skip the "return to idle pose" animation.
The levels in these games remind me of a senario in which Warframe only had the Void and Lua tilesets through the entire thing, but the floors were recently mopped and are not quite dry yet. If you don’t know what I mean, it is basically what Skill Up described, shiny to the point of gaudyness.
@@rune5416 How many successful game did modern Gearbox made? 1 and it's Borderland, the rest of the games they developed are horrendously mediocre, Gearbox devs are typically very mediocre at anything they did and Borderland was a fluke, so I wasn't very surprised when this game is a flop coming from an ex-dev of that team.

Them guys really were so rushed that they just copied and pasted 2018 God of War's combat mechanics without any consideration because some guy in a Suits just told them to do what's popular.
It's like the Railjack missile indicator in Warframe being comically undersized on launch, but that game gets updates, is free, and might actually have fixed it by now.

Stay away from the Green ones...
They're not ripe yet...
Holy shit that freeze after attacking an enemy is so annoying & distracting, how was that overlooked? It's constant!
it wasn't overlooked. They probably just rushed the whole development of the game so it was in time for the launch of the PS5. F76 vibes, the direction of the dev team is a mess, they know it's shit, they ship it anyway and hope that they somehow break even
@@shib5267 That is just as bad, if not worse than overlooked.
This looks like it was an Unreal Engine project, and if so, it's probably a result of suddenly loading shaders that are part of the particle explosions the moment before they ignite. There should be ways of working around that though, so it probably was just a rushed delivery bug that never got fixed.
I have a "not-overkill-config" (2700X + 1080ti, no OC, 16Gb ram) and it runs very smoothly on 1440p@144 fps with everything on Ultra / High (and no motion blur, because... well it's motion blur). So on that part I blame some configs / drivers not being up to date more than the game. But it doesn't make excuses for the other flaws the game has.
@@MrEnvisioner The particles aren't even good, they just mean that you can't see shit when you're mashing away. A reasonable game developer would remove/reduce them.

so there are still people buying at gamestop, that is amazing! Now I get how do stay afloat.
Only get all your money back if bought used. You likely bought it new.
Little detail: Monster Hunter World has animation cancelling, in fact it is one of the more advance techniques. You can cancel almost any recovery after attacks by rolling, you can cancel charge attacks by rolling or some other actions (like buff on hammer or shoulder charge on GS), you can cancel recovery into reloading on ammo weapons, and some of the regular attacks and comboes could be cancelled into other moves. But the attack cancelling itself is pretty rare, almost everything applies to recovery frames to chain different moves.
See even Monster Hunter as canceling and there is still only 1 enemy
I wanted to comment that at first but after looking at the rest of the combat system I think comparing it to MH its just too easy. A master piece of a combat system compare to this pile of garbage... its just sending a nuke against a single soldier.
Only combat system that overshadows MH is Devil May Cry. Those two are the top of the foodchain for me. Not even Ninja Gaiden or God Hand come close
@@Jefstito Sekiro and MH are peak when it comes to combat. Sekiro is tighter while MH has more freedom.
@@quelatielofmirrah188 I cant speak for Sekiro since I havent tried it but for sure Ill play it after that praise. I would be surprise if it holds a knee to DMC though. That combat is both tight and flexible at the same time. Its mechanically rich as well as expressive. And absolute blast when you mastered it but still fun in the beginning
@@Jefstito sekiro is tight in the way guitar hero on expert is tight. The path is already made for you, and if you try to do your own thing your dead. Not my favorite game but I loved the rest of the souls series so much for the opposite reason.

The most absurd thing about this game, is the fact that there are actually people trying to defend the $70 price point of this game.
$70 is an absurd price, even for games who goes beyond on a technical standpoint like Red Dead 2 or something. Imagine a typical garbage plagued with DLCs, micro transactions, patches, etc.. I know the cattle will pay 10 bucks more because their ignorance knows no limits, but it's sad to see how this hobby devolved.

Not enough customize, not enough boss variation, not enough build variations.they should just copy MH formula and the game would become A tier instantly.
@@AzureFides literally like a mobile game, but there's actual good ones and some are actually fun, godfall is not fun
Even before hearing this review, this game's combat looked extremely...generic button-mashing on damage sponges. (I remember a friend recommending me this because "it's inspired by Monster Hunter," and I went "oh stop joking lol") After hearing SkillUp's analysis, I'm horrified that a game trying to sell melee was designed like this.
"At least its combat is good" is not a redeeming quality, unless it's like Dragon's Dogma good. It's kinda insulting that this line is used as a defense for such a technically flawed combat design.
"So to say that godfall has a story is really unfair to the word story.." 😂
Irony is the lore isn't bad. They just fail to use it for anything.
@Ivanna Sukurdic hay, that's a fair stance to take. I'm of the opinion that you absolutely have to get your gameplay right. If you don't do well on story, I've got the gameplay to enjoy. But in the inverse, you could have made this a movie and it would be objectively better. (or a book, or comic, etc.)
Without gameplay, it’s just a fucking story that’s tedious and boring to ‘read’ through. Without story, it’s still a game. What do we call something that lacks both?
Trash
A ranged final boss in a melee game. Wow,
It's not the even the fact that it's a ranged boss, it's that the boss is designed so poorly and has no counters.

at least you can tone it down in warframe, first thing I did after I met Orokin.
@@tyler9255 Yea I haven't played Warframe in years but Godfall is just a worse clone of it trying to charge full AAA price (They even wanted to charge $70 instead of $60) Like Skillup said, even if it was F2P I wouldn't recommend it.
@@platinumpunk5629 True, I also ended up using ReShade to tone it down even more and have a less saturated look (looks really good)
At least the Void in Warframe is visually balanced, in this game even the logo is overglossed.
My brother is a play tester for this game, and according to him they actually didn't even originally plan to have loot systems in the game, but Gearbox demanded it did because I guess that's a feature for all of their games and they wanted it in this one too. So basically one of the only remotely decent features of the game wasn't even originally intended (and why a lot of it doesn't affect how your character looks). Also he has been play testing the game for months and says the game regularly drops below 20fps on the PS5 and they don't intend to fix it, and actually a lot of the bugs he reports for the game do not get fixed and are usually deemed as intended interactions despite the fact that they are clearly not. Basically most phoned in launch title of all time. He wants to quit his job because he's been on the project for so long and the game is so shit lol.
That’s cool insight if it’s true. I’ll take your word for it casue it sounds legit
As a fellow playtester on a major title, this doesn't surprise me one bit. Performance is the biggest thing that devs seem adamant on leaving untouched while QA has to wrestle with it not only ruining our tests, but player experience, as well. My condolences to your brother - hope he found a better project to work with.
@@vulteres Right now they're working on mobile releases for some of the old GTA games I believe, so him and his team are enjoying that a lot more. Plus he got promoted since I made that post and he's actually the QA team lead now.

We are simultaneously living in both the best and worst times to be a gamer.
The tech has come so far to deliver us stunning looking worlds to play in, yet there are very few devs that are anything more than greedy money hounds that care not one bit about after sales satisfaction.
Games look less and less impressive as time goes on. Its the art style that really gives life to a games graphics. also as games look better, less and less resources and time goes to actually making incredible gameplay. I feel like most studios dont take advantage of the tech. Games have gotten less and less creative overtime. More realistic but gameplay still the same. Nothing incredible or different.
@@vice2versaI agree with most of what you said but overall gaming has never been as diverse and creative as it is right now. The problem is the casual gamer, they accept generic, cookie cutter crap constantly and are easily suckered into hype and pre-order scams.

The thing is, orokin has better color design specifically due to it being gold and MORE THAN ZOGGING GOLD.

-Once you spend you north power, you feel powerless agains anything, and you are just dashing everywere waiting for your "E" power to end its cooldown, same with the shield throw.

@@insanesarcasm6132 Though I wish to say that the game is a beautiful representation of what the PS5 can offer visually, all I can see was diarrhea Christmas lights.
While it's a cool reference. That take from GF reviews was shit. Just because you don't understand the combat when you backseat doesn't mean it isn't good once you actually play it
This just looks and feels like the most generic game you could ever come up with.
Your freakin profile picture😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 It is 1 a.m and I’m trying to suppress my laughter 😭😭😭🤣🤣
Phone game was what I was thinking throughout the whole review.
@@The_child-catcher the game is kinda bland I’d agree, but stop lying like a dumbass. Does not look like a mobile game lmao.
I saw the trailer and thought it would be amazing, then saw the gameplay trailer and was frankly disgusted by the combat, so mushy with no audio or visual feedback, and awful stat systems, I just don't understand how someone can look at this and say "yeah looks good to me publish it"
@@Chris.Smith420 I didn't mean it looked graphically similar to a phone game, but the story progression , levels, combat, etc. It honestly seemed like this game started as a phone game and was bumped up to a console.
"So to say godfall has a story, is really unfair to the word story"
By far my favorite line ever.
The story is so generic, it's like the exit on the highway.
A year later and I just realized this entire game is exactly like one game mode (activity)* in Destiny 2: The Haunted forest!
Modern mainstream gaming outlets are run by journalists, not gamers. Thats how they say this game has good combat.
And thats why we watch Videos on RUclips and Do not read the shit they stutter on their little Personal Blogs that they call gaming Press...
That would be a compliment^^
Nah, they're just incompetent.
Why else do you think nobody reads gaming reviews these days? People know those losers don't have the attention span to actually play the game and observe the technical details.
Please don't call them journalists; they are not. A genuine game journalist would have the background and do the research.
@Benjamin McCann watching a movie or TV show requires no motor skills on the user's part. There is no fail state in a movie or TV show and the experience is the same for every user, and you get to watch it to the end no matter what. Games can be too hard to finish, difficulty is entirely subjective, and you can't fully enjoy a super tight combat design with layers and layers of depth if you don't have the motor skills or reaction times to do so. That's why "game movies" get unanimous positive press.
I mean you should at least know how to swing a bat, before giving out bat reviews. But anyone can comment on how good a match was. Because everyone can watch, but few can play.
I honestly thought you would say something like "at least it looks good" but nope. Absolutely taken down hahaha
the game kind of looks like infinity blade in shiny and to much particleeffects
@@wertirwertir4235 yup and It looks quite similar . God I love this kind of style a mix of medieval with technology and magic. And overall this game is good but can get a bit repetitive after awhile playing
@@wertirwertir4235 True, and Infinity Blade was a Mobile Game with amazing gameplay and a unique story .. for 5 bucks 😂
@@ryanarrow3419 and yet the Style is horribly boring. You get so annoyed by watching it. Awful
@@ryanarrow3419 Could you explain how this game was good? just genuinely curious
"Everything is shiny."
Well, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig..lol
That is not a nice way to talk about your mother, son!
jkin mate!
@@cyberbemon damn
I think it was not mentioned in this review that the shininess is to showcase the trendy raytracing.
It’s quite literally the equivalent of “a polished turd is still a turd”
At least you can eat a pig, and enjoy it too
Man, I honestly miss Battleborn. I would much rather still have that game than Overwatch 2.
Literally all of the other hero shooters are/were better than overwatch ever was.
This game will go F2P. There needs to be a law that states: "If a game goes free to pay within a year of purchase, buyers receive a full refund". Cause these games are becoming paid betas for a soon-to-be F2P game.
If that law existed it would go F2P the day after the 1year date expired heheheh.
@@viniciuscoxoba3842 Haha I guess. So "OR within 6 months of purchase" clause. Anyways Something needs to change with the Looter-shooter market.
Scammers don't give you your money back
How would it go free to play? There are zero microtransactions. What are you smoking?
@@streven1331 So a games cant create a cosmetic store and go f2p to compensate for low active player counts? this is all theoretical.
"There's no animation cancelling in Monster Hunter"
*Angry Hammer noises*
*Angry rolling noises*
Hahahah dude I seriously paused the video and ranted at my buddy about the same exact thing! If he's played MH, he must be a dual blader and only demon dances
Angry Hunting Horn doot
**Reeing in ascended SnS main**
He's wrong, but not completely. There IS animation cancelling, but not all the time, example for all the weapons mentioned: cancel out of your claw attack follow up fly thing, hammer. Cancel out of your attack the exact frame it hits, dooter. Cancel out of your perfect rush mid strike, the frame after it hits, SnS.
So yeah, he IS wrong, but you don't have TOTAL cancellation freedom.
I saw one trailer and the "Generic launch title" warning sirens began to play
Same. I can't believe it wasn't obvious to even the most oblivious gamers 😂
Yup
I saw it also. Definitely looked mediocre. Market too saturated with em.
This is so clearly ryse son of rome for the ps5
This game is over-designed.
It feels like they hired an artist and after he finished the design, they hired another artist to design over the previous artist, then hired another one and another one and another one...
As someone who is dumb enough to have bought this game and played 40+ hours of it i agree with everything you said and for anyone who is interested the endgame ascended tower is suppose to have an infinite scaling but it stops scaling at level 60 and the rewards from it are extremely underwhelming both in frequency and quality. For perspective i cleared 25 floors of the tower and i recieved 2 legendary items neither of which were good for my selected 'build'.
The level 50 version of the solaris fight is also one of the single worst encounters i have ever experienced it is the disgned to not be played essentially because you can't do anything during the whole fight because there is fire everywhere
Damn, sorry for your loss. You at least got a lot of gameplay for your money spent.
@@Dribin A lot of awful gameplay at that, that's 40+ hours of his life he isn't getting back to play something better.
"[Seventy dollars] is daylight robbery and Gearbox should be ashamed of themselves for selling it."
I have it on good authority that Randy Pitchford has no shame.
Pretty sure gearbox will just be considered as another company releasing shovelware if not for a few games like Borderlands existed.
But he does have a USB drive full of sexy magic tricks.
Pretty sure Randy "The Manchild" Bitchford only feels spite and pride and nothing else
@@santhoshsridhar5887 Considering their tactics with BL3, they are already there.
holy shit this game’s particles are so obnoxious, my eyes hurt watching this video
exactly, watching the gameplay gave me a legit headache.
That's how the Transformers movies were. The human eyes can't focus on all the details of the Tranformers (when in their robot form) . Therefore it looks like a mess.
@@JDMEXforme
omg that explains legit so much for me, my friends all went to see it once and i couldn’t keep my eyes on those robots without trouble, so that must’ve been why i was struggling with it, because i remembering leaving and being like “damn that sucked, i wasn’t able to enjoy that at all, my eyes just hurt” to one of my friends.
@@maskedkittyMC and then everyone clapped
"obnoxious" is an excellent way to put it
That input queueing thing is such a killer thing, good god.
It's not even input queuing, it's just straight up NO queuing.
Also, for monster hunter.
1. there is animation canceling, especially rolling out of attacks, items etc. but not everything can do this
2. the things you can't animation cancel are by design. you have to commit. this allows more skill expression.
3. There is no escaping Kulve Tarroth rolls, she will krump you regardless of distance or elevation.
I wouldn't say "animation" cancelling since that gives the impression you can roll out at any point in the attack. Monster Hunter more uses "recovery cancelling", where you can roll immediately after the attack finishes and allows you to skip the "return to idle pose" animation.
Those experienced gamers who buy games based off of how it looks should never be listened to.
Hence why a polished turd is still a turd and why gameplay and story should be the foundation of a game, not its afterthought.
...and thats why graphics aren't everything if the game is so dredfull. For me is 19% graphics and 81% gameplay is what we like.
A lot of people are doing that with Demon's Souls and are going to be in for a rude awakening
@@marinesgtblake but demon's souls is good tho?
@@kiki123456able Might be too difficult for most people.
It looks like one of those fake video ads of mobile games with "action" hahahahahaha
The levels in these games remind me of a senario in which Warframe only had the Void and Lua tilesets through the entire thing, but the floors were recently mopped and are not quite dry yet.
If you don’t know what I mean, it is basically what Skill Up described, shiny to the point of gaudyness.
So accurate lmao
"these godframes dont have unique abilities" I paused, and questioned what they were doing.
It's sad this was co developed by gearbox the creators of the looters genre how'd they fuck it up
@@rune5416 Publisher's grip always pops the balls of developers
@@rune5416 How many successful game did modern Gearbox made? 1 and it's Borderland, the rest of the games they developed are horrendously mediocre, Gearbox devs are typically very mediocre at anything they did and Borderland was a fluke, so I wasn't very surprised when this game is a flop coming from an ex-dev of that team.
@@catofwar119 They also kinda lost everything good about borderlands 2 with 3, the exception being better gameplay.
why does this game look like warframe?
I just realized that this channel has taken the place of what TotalBiscuit used to provide for me years back.
Just a channel who's reviews are must watch before buying games.
Yas, my exact thought few weeks back. There is still biscuit shaped hole in my heart but Skill Up helped to cover it a bit.
Him along with ACG, but I like ACG's reviews more.
Skill Up is one guy where I trust his word above all others lol
@@masamieiri4669 yep, currently the only two trusted game reviewers on youtube
If only he talked more about FOV sliders ;-;
Out of all of your reviews I’ve watched, none has been this utterly savage and so utterly spot on
I think its cuz a trash game price is 70$

My personal thoughts are that the only thing I disagree with in this review is the visuals. I actually love the "gaudy, gold-everywhere" aesthetics.
Destiny 2 had a great raid with those same overly gold aesthetics- it can be done really well
@@hubhikarilives The orokin towers in the void are some of my favorite tilesets in Warframe, too, for all that gold trim.
