I have found in life the best way to prove people wrong is with facts, this is why certain ideologies that are ruining society hate facts, you simply can not argue with them, they are facts. This video totally destroys any argument that I thumb up games due to being given incentives. I am 100% gamer and always will be, I answer to my fellow gamers and run this channel for my fellow gamers, regardless of platform. I continue to call out bad gaming practices such as day 1 DLC and in game microtransactions and always will. I will still have my preference for first person over third person and still yearn for games built with passion but I will not be pigeon holed into biased bullshit just because certain people demand that I hate all games with women leads or all third person games, I judge all games on their fun elements regardless of design.
You have 2k likes to only like 129 dislikes! o_o I think you have to understand, Gears 5.. and btw I really enjoyed your reviews, I'm a patreon of yours for the 5 dollar thing, but I have to explain this to you: There are Playstation fanboys who will just downvote anything about a pro Microsoft game. You want to see proof? Look at Gamingbolt's video claiming it's one of the best looking games this gen, all of the downvotes.
Also, I think it is an AWFUL idea to critique the comments. You are putting your own fans on blast who are probably are jk and you may be overreacting, considering the likes to dislike ratio being really good on that video, as opposed to your last Gears review.
Fully agree with you and all I will say is to each thier own, witcher might not have been liked by everyone but it won awards and praise for a reason it was an amazing game for the story especially but I don't go around bashing people that don't like certain aspects of it
Love you channel. Older gamers are ignored quite a lot and it shows in the industry thats pumping out things only those young enough not to have lost naivety can buy. We're in dangerous times where even hobbies are policed by useful morons and moral busybodies. I just wanted to be left alone to play games and pretend i'm the multimillionaire tycoon all those games say i am.
DimeBagJon Tribalism. People will literally die and kill for a brand now. Way back then it was for real beliefs like your church or your country, but that’s all over because religion has “died” in the societal consciousness and globalism happened. So people latch on to products and companies as a replacement. I mean, just look at Nintendo and Star Wars. Some people have their whole lives built around those things and if those collapse, I can’t even imagine what the fuck will happen. It’s a bit exciting to see what the fuck people will do about it and what atrocities need to happen for people to realize this is happening but it’s wholly terrifying.
Thumbs Up - "Mack is a paid shill" Thumbs Down "Stop hating my game, you don't know what your talking about" Middle Thumb "Damit Mack pick a side!" No Review - "Please Mack review this game..."
I should make RUclips account called “captain flip flop” where I review a game 4 times one positive one average one middle the other poor “YaY eVeRy OnE wInS”
I said this is Discord and will say it here, my only regret is I can not see the faces of my accusers when they see that Contact special edition box and realise their entire argument went up in smoke lol
remember the CB (citizens band radio) days mack? safe behind their small box lol internet is the same but100 fold lol love your shit mack! even though u down thumb most of the games i like, i love the honesty!! i get my self in trouble alot speaking my mind, we need more people like this in the world!
Lol that's awesome, only people who are negative bro are a type of person whos really just a PC nerd and is gonna hate on anything from console, they haven't even played the fuckin game yet they have somthing to say about your opinion.
You could post a video of a kitten licking a puppy and get reams of hate mail/comments. There will always be arseholes. + Its not like you gave GoW a glowing review anyway, so these people are just looking for a reason to shit on you.
Mack. You’re my absolutely favourite reviewer and frankly the only I’ve viewed since the CynicalBrit passed away, may he rest in peace. Don’t let the hypocrites affect your opinion, keep being honest, never change. Keep it up!
Mack, there's really no need to make videos like this. Trolls will be trolls and haters gonna hate. That is the way of the world. You can't change them. I mean if you really want to take some time out of your busy life to answer comments, it's up to you mate, but you won;t be changing many minds here and im sure you have better things to do with your time. People that enjoy your content and have followed you for a bit, know you are on the level and you give honest and funny reviews with a pinch of salt. People that spew hateful comments don;t know you or don't care to know you so they just do what they do every day: troll. No need to waste energy on them. Don;t mind them Mack, just do your thing and review the way you want to. Ignore the haters. There is a saying in my country: "the dogs are barking but the bear keeps on walking." GG Mack, you are a fucking legend mate! Keep at it.
Cmon Mack you should ignore the haters. You are not known as a suck up. You are always honest in your reviews. You deserve some credit for this... Love your reviews, even if I don’t agree, you are the real deal! Cheers mate! Ps, don’t bring in politics...
Edward bevington Been enjoying Mack’s work for a couple of years now. For mainstream games he’s my primary reviewer. If he had chosen the path of a paid “influencer” he could have done so a long time ago. To accuse him of being a sell out is simply to ignore all that went before and is frankly retarded. Accept the fact that he enjoyed the game. You still don’t have to buy it. I certainly am not, but am not going psycho because I disagree based on some twisted bias. I haven’t played the game...
Mindless comments are the equivalent of "the words, the words" from the developers! lol I'm an old geezer gamer from Puerto Rico and i totally enjoy your content! Keep it up!
totally true, man. i don't even think the haters really care that much about their comments. if they get any small reaction out of mack, they'll be happy
Mack you've saved me money and introduced me to games I never would have checked out otherwise. The only change I've noticed after 4+ years of watching your reviews is that you've become more nuanced in your critiques of games. That shows in things like your scoring system and adding in the middle thumb. Fuck these morons, keep doing what you do Mack.
@@yazotayt define literal hate... Rage at a pedo is justified, do you also ignore that hate? What about the hate for hitler? What about hate for mass shooters? Lets reel that retoric back a bit. What about hate for "the other"? Its useful when its useful, harmful when its useless. There are many -isms named after it. Hate for opinions is obviously stupid but how can you so flippantly discard a differing opinion as hate? I oppose linear games, some one else said it well when talking about the rail section of HL, which means I oppose most AAA games, gears of war franchise being one sub group. Does that mean i hate mac? No. What if i said that poorly and simply? "Its linear, your review sucks mac" Thats not hate, its just missing macs point on the fact its a "gears game" I would, probably since i havent played the series since 2, thumb down the game because linesr games are boring to me. I think, on that SINGLE aspect, mac is wrong. But thats hate i guess.
Very good video, this applies to basically any RUclips content but I imagine it's a lot worse on games because of how polarised fan boys are. At the end of the day a review is an opinion, there are often games you like that I dislike or vice-versa, but it's down to opinion and you always give your reasons for why you like or dislike something so noone can fault you on that. Keep up the great videos.
Hey Mack keep being real I've played some good games based on your reviews that I otherwise would have overlooked. Glad to see some transparency with ya. Peace brother
Mack focus on the good comments. Read the bad ones too but at the end of the day throw those over the shoulder. People who troll in comments dont care about your videos anyway and would never support your channel. Sometimes you do make a mistake but if people like your other content they can tell you you made mistake in a civilized way. Anyway it is all just personal opinions so i dont know why people act so stupid in comments. I like your honesty about things and that is why i follow you even if sometimes I do not agree with you 100%. Keep on going
Only the sith deal in absolutes. If you are able to defend and PROVE the detractors wrong you are doing something correct. If you just ignore people you become the next cancel culture, slippery slope and all that.
14:52 "...I have been ignorant in the past and I like to think I have improved over the years...". Well said. We all can do the same. Don't let politics blur your judgement.
Dont sweat it bro, I have disagreed w some of your reviews but majority I agree with. You will always be my #1 channel for game reviews. I've had some good fun in gears with friends over the years even though it ain't the best game or my type of game for that matter. P.S. I liked the witcher 3 lol.
Keep doing what you are doing, this is the only place I come for a game review. I'm picky af about games, the industry is dog shit. We need critics like yourself.
I think you said it best when you mentioned that you review a game mainly for the fun factor, as it should be. People will always talk, but it doesn't matter because your subscribers know you're genuine.
Love this type of video. It's good to express your opinion directly to the community. Just a small request, if you do continue to make other comments videos, can you highlight the comments as you read them? Great reviews btw!
I've seen enough of your absolutely ruthless videos to know that you are doing this for the love of gaming and not any type of game coupons. I still go back and watch your Dark Souls 3 review for a laugh sometimes. Brutal review.
@@TAttila84 butt hurt much? Dark souls is a shit franchise that appeals to a niche market of sadomasochist aspergers victims who love dieing 100 times before figuring out how to land one hit on a boss. All this is my opinion of course. You probably love it for some reason.
Codian I agree the Dark Souls Games Are shit but they are not bad because they are hard, in fact I found the games quite easy. The Dark Souls Games Are shit because they give you no purpose and no Story, You just wander around killing shit for some reason.
Very good job with this video Mack! I appreciate your unwavering honesty and your relentless pursuit of the facts. You never let the haters sway you and that's a rarity in the world today. Keep up the excellent work and i'll keep coming back!
I genuinely believe you liked the game. The problem is it contains a lot of the same flaws you usually attack in other games in your reviews (this is also a core point to your audience and why we love watching your reviews). These flaws are FACTS. Most of your audience will agree with your opinion on these facts. If you then choose to thumb up a game that incorporates a lot of these "facts" just because you happen to enjoy playing it this time around (which is your opinion and not fact), you should expect some backlash (be it tactful or not). Don't take it personal though.
Well said! Should be top comment! This sums up the situation perfectly! I wish Mack wouldn't make these videos, He should just take what people have to say on board, if others say insults or nothing helpful, then ignore them. It's only people's opinions, only words. These videos hurt Mack's character and image more so then people's opinions!
I agree with u partly, bc if the game is enjoyable then its good for me, idc much about the flaws that are irrelevant. We play games to have fun and that is the core and main point of playing games ffs. If he had fun then he has every right to thumb the game up. Afterall its his review and take on the game. But I agree with u that everyone have their own opinions.
I dont comment to often, but Mack you have our support! Let them say whatever they want. Your views say everything and trust is earned and opinions are subjective always, keep up the good work and see when its worth comming back with gameplay videos. We miss them!
I think you have to remember that when people see reviewers ''rewarded'' with trips, hotel rooms, free merch, as well as a free game these days it does make people suspicious and so they should be. Remember Fallout 76? Every single person that went on the free, all expenses paid boys outing came back and told us that they loved the game and we should rush out and pre order it. At launch as we all know the game was and still is broken. Essentially, every single reviewer that told us to buy that unplayable game would have said that the freebies wouldn't sway them and they would give us an honest opinion - I think we can all agree Bethesda essentially bought them even if they were not aware of it. People should be suspicious, but they should also watch the review and see what they think. It's wrong of you to get angry about it. I don't think they are saying anything negative about you, rather they are saying the gaming industry is broken. In regards to you liking a game or trashing it. Unless it's a broken game, it comes down to you being opinionated which is why people watch a reviewer ha. Games are subjective. So you not liking a game for cosmetic reasons is valid, but an opinion. People may get worked up, but that's because they can't understand that. You are literally the only game reviewer I watch. Keep doing what you're doing & don't get pissed off.
Love you Mac, You came a long way and for you to stand up for yourself is a great way to fight off the haters instead of banning them. I always will use you greenmangaming link to always give you a little cut every time I pick up a game ;) Recently did so with Man of Mandan
Nice video Mack. Spoken with honesty and integrity as a gamer. Such is life in this segment of the 21st century, internet misinformation, the narcissism of social media, fanboy culture, and the toxicity of “commenting”. In this modern digital world, just as life, it is a combination of the ideal and ordeal. Keep doing what you do well at Mack and ignore the mentality and ignorance of some of those comments. As a PC gamer of more than 30 years I also understand where you are coming from. I enjoy your reviews, your upbeat humour and candour, and perhaps like myself I simply want to have fun gaming. A chance to enjoy a game that stimulates the mind and excites the imagination. That’s all !.
Absolutely love your reviews even if they don't always agree with my opinion. You're honest, funny, and take your job seriously. One of the best reviewers on youtube. Keep doing what you what you do! IMO Don't get too hung up on the comment section, you don't need that stress.
I was just listening and the minute you talked about people trying to call you out because it was given to you I thought "Didn't he already thumb down like 5 games that were gifted/ given to him by devs?"
mack you are one the best review gaming I know on RUclips atm. your videos always help me get through my difficult time irl please keep up the good work
im following your chanel for many years and i love your work,dont change to please this kind of toxic people that dont know what they are tallking about,love you continue whit the amazing job mack
New to the channel, found it recently through a recommendation from 21Kiloton. Really appreciated this video. Gears doesn't interest me in the slightest, zero fucks given, but I enjoyed seeing someone refute the inevitable onslaught of anonymous bullshit that must hit like a truck any time someone puts an unpopular opinion out. If a game is enjoyable and doesn't have too many marks against it for technical issues, anti-consumer practices, etc, that's that. Opinions will filter out people's game libraries, but enjoyable games that don't have insidious shit hidden in them deserve to be acknowledged as enjoyable on their own merits. It sounds like a lot of your older viewers are taking issue with that sort of acknowledgement as though they'd rather you shit on the game on principle. Perhaps my new sub will help balance out their hissy fits. Looking forward to future videos, and I'll be snooping through the back catalog in the meantime.
I’m behind ya mate. 👍 I don’t always agree with your reviews, but I always respect your opinion and it is always well articulated as well as entertaining. You are my favorite reviewer, I even like you more than ACG which is saying something. Much love
Bless Yeah, that’s why I like this channel more. I like ACG a lot, but he can occasionally get stuck on one track in some reviews, while Worthabuy generally has a wider scope of aspects to consider.
Love your work Mack! Mate your reviews are hilarious and the fact that you are you and will never let the bullies and haters of the world change you. Again mate love your work!!! :-D
Mack, thank you for being so straightforward and honest in every video and especially reviews. You have saved my back from these greedy companies many times now and I think I and many others can appreciate that. Stay strong! 💪
Mack, your reviews are a breath of fresh air, funny and always honest. You try to point out the good and the bad, and you never bend over backwards to compromise your position that I've seen. Hater's are gonna hate, trolls are gonna troll. They're not worth anyone's time, just sad little nothings.
What if "him doing him" includes shitting in a bag and smearing random kids as a prank. Fuck "you do you" culture. Be the best you... just like Mac is trying to be
Mack I enjoyed you going through the comments and agree with some other commenters here. Don't let the bad comments get to you, you do a great job at reviewing games and sure have saved me money on tons of games and have made me buy some I was on the fence about. You are one of 2 reviewers I go to for their opinion on a game. I look forward to your future reviews this year and especially this month.
6:08 - That Russian comment is: " Mack started getting the suitcases with money most likely )" I don't agree with him. If you like a game - thumb it up!
You missed out on the first 3 gears of war. The gameplay is more or less the same but Gears 2 in particular is very good. 1, 2 and 3 are well worth trying for the story alone.
You’re the man Mack. After watching your review on KCD I decided to get it and loved every minute of it. I know I can always trust you to give an honest opinion, keep up the good work mate.
You’re different from other reviewers and I appreciate your reviews! Even if sometimes I don’t quite agree, I also don’t get my pantys in a bundle by your opinion. I like to hear your opinions and like to see what you liked and didn’t like. Keep it up!!
Mack I love how you addressed the haters also i love how you explained to these people by them acting stupid every time there is a female lead in a video game is giving the left more ammunition to use on saying that we are sexist, racist, ect. Way to go been watching since 2014 keep the videos coming!
Mack, you are the best reviewer that I know of. You are honest, fun, well spoken and I pretty much agree with everything you say. That is why I watch everything you publish and hope for your contininuos motivation and dedication to this industry. Cheers from Denmark.
That was at a time when entertainment was mainly about "entertainment." Not arguing about sexism & misogynist in entertainment or SJW characters & revisionist in entertainment.
Jill Valentine Resident evil 2 best time with a resident evil game I ever had. If the gameplay is amazing I don't care if I'm a fucking penguin, any character will do.
@@Underground3 or anti sjw holding every single new game with a female protagonist a Mary Sue without knowing what it means nor trying to censor cartoons with lesbian couples( they cheered when Alabama censored that one episode of Hey Arnold that had a 7-second clip of two gay characters locking arms not even kissing or anything yet they claim to be morally Superior when it comes to censorship).
I don’t even read these comments, Mac. Been loving what you do ever since the epic 2 part No Mans Sky review. You are the only person I trust for game reviews.
Mack, love your reviews, because you give an honest, unbiased opinion. But when you're this honest, there's bound to be ignorant, unnecessary and uneducated guesses on your neutrality on a game review. Keep up the amazing work.
People acting like morons the moment they see that there is female lead character/protagonist and asume that its "SWJ/Mary Sue" character... Apparently some people havent heard the saying "dont judge a book by its cover"....but certainly doesnt stop some people from saying that "this is shit without even playing it". These kind of gamers/people are utterly pathetic...
As stupid as it is, I can understand why they're so hostile nowadays against female representation, since for years, female representation has been mainly a tool for political statements instead of making the game better. Still an eye-roller to see happening though.
Love your work mate. Even tho I don't agree with you most of the time, but I do love your honesty. I didn't need to put this here, but in light of those comments, I thought you'd might like to hear it... Don't stop mate!
Speaking as someone with over 30+ years gaming experience (like mack), if you think Mack is unfair in his reviews, just go away. You don't understand the gaming industry. This channel is raw truth. Go to IGN to hear what you want to be told.
Tbh mate best thing to do is ignore them and If it’s truly insulting block them.. though I got admit it’s entertaining watching these idiots logic be debunked in seconds lol
Mack, when I see a game on steam or somewhere else that I've never heard of, I almost always do a search to see if you have reviewed it, for multiple reasons. You're honest with your opinions, you make me laugh, and I have found that the majority of the games that you like, I've liked as well. This goes back to the days of picking up video game magazines to get pre-release reviews. Some magazines just didn't vibe with me, but the couple that did turned me on to some great games that I wouldn't have just picked up on a whim. When I'm bored and looking for something different, I pull up your thumbs up playlist and find something. I find you reliable. For those that I don't find reliable, I just keep scrolling. For people to harass you for what you like or don't like is ignorance and more often than not, immaturity. You have to account for the age of some of these nitwits. Keep doing what you're doing because you do a damn good job doing it. Thank you!
It ain't even that funny, unless you are a 5 year old. Have you not heard of typing mistakes ? Whats funny is your spelling of "myself". What the hell is meself ? We dont talk that shit around here. Learn proper english.
@@thespecter1530 They are? Hahahaha! It genuinely amazes me how many times you see someone correcting someone's grammar, yet they make mistakes themselves in that reply. If you're going to correct something, you have to make sure you're perfect. Same goes for the ones who reply with "Your an idiot."
Mate, the fanboys/bots/paid shills can get fucked! Good video to address them but don't focus on them at all. Focus on your fans and people who support you and your work and your great and honest reviews. 'The crowd effect' sums it up perfectly because this is what we've all got to be careful of in life.
Don't worry about comments on the internet.. it's full of people who intentionally troll and nothing will ever change... cause it's the internet. Your real fans appreciate you.
I made a review copy joke in the gears video, just wanted you to know I was genuinely just kidding and didnt realise everybody else was making the same joke lol.
I'm a 45 year old gamer, been a gamer since 'pong' (the original) I found your channel quite a while ago and knew early on that you were a gamer who values good games and fellow gamers. Since then you've become my go to guy for reviews. Thanks for all the honesty man, I really appreciate it. Games are expensive and you have saved me some heartache, so thanks again. Keep up the great work.
I also disliked the combat system in Witcher 3 but loved the game overall. Everyone has their own opinion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also i think that reading/reviewing comments isn't a good idea
OK LISTEN....when i saw the gears review even i was doubtful, it was the first doubt that came to me. ME= "Why has mack thumbed this up? after all that shite in the game was it still that much fun to him??? well, probably..." and i left it at that. ME= "hmmmm very interesting lets see the other upcoming reviews with a keeeeen eye" i am telling this here becoz Mack this has happened before to other youtubers. YOUR REVIEW was INDEED DOUBTFUL for me. just doubtful nothing more i didnt jump to it that youre sold. nothing like that. m thankful to you actually hahaha
Thank you Mack for your honest reviews and always being true to yourself. Whenever I wanna check out a new game I first check if you reviewed it first. You really get it
Always honest, genuine and from a genuine gamers perspective. There are games that I thought I'd hate and invested hours in. There are games that I'd thought I'd love and were awful. It's all a matter of taste, but I want a reviewer that's more on my wavelength. I can't say what type of genre I'm a fan of. All I want is to put my game in and have an absolute blast for a few hours and genuinely enjoy myself. Keep it up mack.
Okay here is my take on sjw and people that just hate women in games. I dont like sjw either and I absolutely hated the new wolfenstein. But come on, not every game that has a female protagonist is sjw bs. Like look at the tomb raider games I love those games. I dont like devs that pushes down the sjw bs down my troath but just to hate all female characters in all games is just as bad as sjw. The only difference is that they hate men and u hate woman.
Keep doing what you do best Mack. Literally you are the main review I wait for before purchasing any game. I'll hold off just to hear some honesty because that is something that is so uncommon in the gaming world today. Thanks for being factual, and flying the flag for all of us who are trying to wrestle the gaming industry back from the overhyped money grabbing companies. Keep it up man.
@@AbleistSL Sounds like more blame game to me. Personal responsibility is apparently a rarity nowadays. Doesn't matter one iota what anybody else has done, we have brains for a reason. Critical thought isn't only meant to be used against your "opponents".
Hey Mack :) to be honest, I subbed to your channel ages ago, so long ago I forgot why I even did it then I searched "new postal game review" and your early access review came up and since that day about a month ago I've been binging your videos. You're a mad lad and I love ya. As long as you're posting videos of the quality and integrity you have been then you'll always have a sub from me.
I have found in life the best way to prove people wrong is with facts, this is why certain ideologies that are ruining society hate facts, you simply can not argue with them, they are facts. This video totally destroys any argument that I thumb up games due to being given incentives. I am 100% gamer and always will be, I answer to my fellow gamers and run this channel for my fellow gamers, regardless of platform.
I continue to call out bad gaming practices such as day 1 DLC and in game microtransactions and always will. I will still have my preference for first person over third person and still yearn for games built with passion but I will not be pigeon holed into biased bullshit just because certain people demand that I hate all games with women leads or all third person games, I judge all games on their fun elements regardless of design.
You have 2k likes to only like 129 dislikes! o_o I think you have to understand, Gears 5.. and btw I really enjoyed your reviews, I'm a patreon of yours for the 5 dollar thing, but I have to explain this to you: There are Playstation fanboys who will just downvote anything about a pro Microsoft game.

Fully agree with you and all I will say is to each thier own, witcher might not have been liked by everyone but it won awards and praise for a reason
it was an amazing game for the story especially but I don't go around bashing people that don't like certain aspects of it
Love you channel. Older gamers are ignored quite a lot and it shows in the industry thats pumping out things only those young enough not to have lost naivety can buy. We're in dangerous times where even hobbies are policed by useful morons and moral busybodies. I just wanted to be left alone to play games and pretend i'm the multimillionaire tycoon all those games say i am.
Mack don't reply to trolls, it just fuels their bs. You don't owe them any air time.
Why would anyone be offended because you liked a game. Wtf is the world coming to?
DimeBagJon
Tribalism. People will literally die and kill for a brand now. Way back then it was for real beliefs like your church or your country, but that’s all over because religion has “died” in the societal consciousness and globalism happened. So people latch on to products and companies as a replacement. I mean, just look at Nintendo and Star Wars. Some people have their whole lives built around those things and if those collapse, I can’t even imagine what the fuck will happen.
It’s a bit exciting to see what the fuck people will do about it and what atrocities need to happen for people to realize this is happening but it’s wholly terrifying.
Blame the left - they don't allow any opinion unless it's in agreement with their views.
@@times7171 This is a very liberal game so that's a bad take you had.
@@dillonduke1662 i rest my case
Mack is always offended when others like a game he doesn't. Because he is a hypocrite, like you.
Thumbs Up - "Mack is a paid shill"
Thumbs Down "Stop hating my game, you don't know what your talking about"
Middle Thumb "Damit Mack pick a side!"
No Review - "Please Mack review this game..."
Yep!
You just can't win :-)

You could post a video of a kitten licking a puppy and get reams of hate mail/comments. There will always be arseholes. + Its not like you gave GoW a glowing review anyway, so these people are just looking for a reason to shit on you.
You actually gave Gears one of the more critical reviews I have seen. Most reviews I have seen say its nearly perfect.
Mack, you are brilliant at what you do and also a great person. Listened to you for a long time now and will never stop. Keep it going strong 👍
He is an awful and st*pid reviewer.
Mack, you've got real integrity, I never doubt the honesty in your reviews.
Mack. You’re my absolutely favourite reviewer and frankly the only I’ve viewed since the CynicalBrit passed away, may he rest in peace. Don’t let the hypocrites affect your opinion, keep being honest, never change. Keep it up!
My thoughts exactly. Mack and TotalBiscuit have been my two favorite reviewers out there.
This.
Mack, there's really no need to make videos like this. Trolls will be trolls and haters gonna hate. That is the way of the world. You can't change them. I mean if you really want to take some time out of your busy life to answer comments, it's up to you mate, but you won;t be changing many minds here and im sure you have better things to do with your time. People that enjoy your content and have followed you for a bit, know you are on the level and you give honest and funny reviews with a pinch of salt. People that spew hateful comments don;t know you or don't care to know you so they just do what they do every day: troll. No need to waste energy on them.
Don;t mind them Mack, just do your thing and review the way you want to. Ignore the haters.
There is a saying in my country: "the dogs are barking but the bear keeps on walking."
GG Mack, you are a fucking legend mate! Keep at it.
Cmon Mack you should ignore the haters.
You are not known as a suck up.
You are always honest in your reviews.
You deserve some credit for this...
Love your reviews, even if I don’t agree, you are the real deal!
Cheers mate!
Ps, don’t bring in politics...
Wouldn't be surprised if it's paid for promoters half of them.
Edward bevington Been enjoying Mack’s work for a couple of years now. For mainstream games he’s my primary reviewer. If he had chosen the path of a paid “influencer” he could have done so a long time ago. To accuse him of being a sell out is simply to ignore all that went before and is frankly retarded.
Accept the fact that he enjoyed the game. You still don’t have to buy it. I certainly am not, but am not going psycho because I disagree based on some twisted bias. I haven’t played the game...
Yeah, best to leave politics out of gaming content.
"the greatest insult an enemy can suffer. To be ignored"
This is the krogan way,krogans know how to deal with the haters Mack.
Mindless comments are the equivalent of "the words, the words" from the developers! lol I'm an old geezer gamer from Puerto Rico and i totally enjoy your content! Keep it up!
totally true, man. i don't even think the haters really care that much about their comments. if they get any small reaction out of mack, they'll be happy
Mack you've saved me money and introduced me to games I never would have checked out otherwise. The only change I've noticed after 4+ years of watching your reviews is that you've become more nuanced in your critiques of games. That shows in things like your scoring system and adding in the middle thumb. Fuck these morons, keep doing what you do Mack.
Agree.
Haters will hate.. better to just ignore them as good as you can.
Love your videos and keep doing what you're doing :)
Agree.
Only ignore the haters when they are wrong.... like now...
The kings court needs a jester to keep the king in check.
@@TherealTenmanI Constructive feedback with actual arguments are definitely good, but that's not what this is. Hard ignore on literal hate comments.
@@yazotayt define literal hate...
Rage at a pedo is justified, do you also ignore that hate? What about the hate for hitler? What about hate for mass shooters?
Lets reel that retoric back a bit. What about hate for "the other"? Its useful when its useful, harmful when its useless. There are many -isms named after it.
Hate for opinions is obviously stupid but how can you so flippantly discard a differing opinion as hate?
I oppose linear games, some one else said it well when talking about the rail section of HL, which means I oppose most AAA games, gears of war franchise being one sub group.
Does that mean i hate mac?
No.
What if i said that poorly and simply?
"Its linear, your review sucks mac"
Thats not hate, its just missing macs point on the fact its a "gears game"
I would, probably since i havent played the series since 2, thumb down the game because linesr games are boring to me. I think, on that SINGLE aspect, mac is wrong.
But thats hate i guess.
Very good video, this applies to basically any RUclips content but I imagine it's a lot worse on games because of how polarised fan boys are. At the end of the day a review is an opinion, there are often games you like that I dislike or vice-versa, but it's down to opinion and you always give your reasons for why you like or dislike something so noone can fault you on that. Keep up the great videos.
Hey Mack keep being real I've played some good games based on your reviews that I otherwise would have overlooked. Glad to see some transparency with ya. Peace brother
Kingdom come deliverance 👌
@@fattzmcgee6161 agreed
You're a legend Mack, honest reviews are very rare, keep it up!
Mack focus on the good comments. Read the bad ones too but at the end of the day throw those over the shoulder. People who troll in comments dont care about your videos anyway and would never support your channel. Sometimes you do make a mistake but if people like your other content they can tell you you made mistake in a civilized way. Anyway it is all just personal opinions so i dont know why people act so stupid in comments. I like your honesty about things and that is why i follow you even if sometimes I do not agree with you 100%. Keep on going
Only the sith deal in absolutes.
If you are able to defend and PROVE the detractors wrong you are doing something correct.
If you just ignore people you become the next cancel culture, slippery slope and all that.
14:52 "...I have been ignorant in the past and I like to think I have improved over the years...".
Well said.
We all can do the same. Don't let politics blur your judgement.
Dont sweat it bro, I have disagreed w some of your reviews but majority I agree with. You will always be my #1 channel for game reviews. I've had some good fun in gears with friends over the years even though it ain't the best game or my type of game for that matter. P.S. I liked the witcher 3 lol.
Keep doing what you are doing, this is the only place I come for a game review. I'm picky af about games, the industry is dog shit. We need critics like yourself.
I think you said it best when you mentioned that you review a game mainly for the fun factor, as it should be. People will always talk, but it doesn't matter because your subscribers know you're genuine.
Love this type of video. It's good to express your opinion directly to the community. Just a small request, if you do continue to make other comments videos, can you highlight the comments as you read them? Great reviews btw!
I've seen enough of your absolutely ruthless videos to know that you are doing this for the love of gaming and not any type of game coupons. I still go back and watch your Dark Souls 3 review for a laugh sometimes. Brutal review.
Yeah me too I love the Dark Souls one, I like the search and rescue simulator one too, ive seen it a bunch of times its funny
That is a shit review and he is bad at the game.
@@TAttila84 butt hurt much? Dark souls is a shit franchise that appeals to a niche market of sadomasochist aspergers victims who love dieing 100 times before figuring out how to land one hit on a boss. All this is my opinion of course. You probably love it for some reason.
Codian
I agree the Dark Souls Games Are shit but they are not bad because they are hard, in fact I found the games quite easy. The Dark Souls Games Are shit because they give you no purpose and no Story, You just wander around killing shit for some reason.
I’ll always keep watching your reviews, You’re honest.
Mack, you're the best videogames' reviewer on youtube. And I know you'll keep telling us the truth no matter what. Keep it up! Cheers!
He's right up there with "AngryJoeShow" in my opinion. They should do a collab.
Very good job with this video Mack! I appreciate your unwavering honesty and your relentless pursuit of the facts. You never let the haters sway you and that's a rarity in the world today. Keep up the excellent work and i'll keep coming back!
I genuinely believe you liked the game. The problem is it contains a lot of the same flaws you usually attack in other games in your reviews (this is also a core point to your audience and why we love watching your reviews). These flaws are FACTS. Most of your audience will agree with your opinion on these facts. If you then choose to thumb up a game that incorporates a lot of these "facts" just because you happen to enjoy playing it this time around (which is your opinion and not fact), you should expect some backlash (be it tactful or not). Don't take it personal though.
Well said! Should be top comment! This sums up the situation perfectly!
I wish Mack wouldn't make these videos, He should just take what people have to say on board, if others say insults or nothing helpful, then ignore them. It's only people's opinions, only words.
These videos hurt Mack's character and image more so then people's opinions!
I agree with u partly, bc if the game is enjoyable then its good for me, idc much about the flaws that are irrelevant. We play games to have fun and that is the core and main point of playing games ffs. If he had fun then he has every right to thumb the game up. Afterall its his review and take on the game. But I agree with u that everyone have their own opinions.
@@RuddsReels to me it does not hurt his image it improves it and denounces the fools. To each its own
I dont comment to often, but Mack you have our support! Let them say whatever they want. Your views say everything and trust is earned and opinions are subjective always, keep up the good work and see when its worth comming back with gameplay videos. We miss them!
I think you have to remember that when people see reviewers ''rewarded'' with trips, hotel rooms, free merch, as well as a free game these days it does make people suspicious and so they should be. Remember Fallout 76? Every single person that went on the free, all expenses paid boys outing came back and told us that they loved the game and we should rush out and pre order it. At launch as we all know the game was and still is broken. Essentially, every single reviewer that told us to buy that unplayable game would have said that the freebies wouldn't sway them and they would give us an honest opinion - I think we can all agree Bethesda essentially bought them even if they were not aware of it.
People should be suspicious, but they should also watch the review and see what they think. It's wrong of you to get angry about it. I don't think they are saying anything negative about you, rather they are saying the gaming industry is broken.
In regards to you liking a game or trashing it. Unless it's a broken game, it comes down to you being opinionated which is why people watch a reviewer ha. Games are subjective. So you not liking a game for cosmetic reasons is valid, but an opinion. People may get worked up, but that's because they can't understand that.
You are literally the only game reviewer I watch. Keep doing what you're doing & don't get pissed off.
Damn this was a such an impactful video for the future of this channel. Good for Mack for standing up for himself and being honest above all else
We love you Mack. The haters can bugger off.
Love you Mac, You came a long way and for you to stand up for yourself is a great way to fight off the haters instead of banning them. I always will use you greenmangaming link to always give you a little cut every time I pick up a game ;) Recently did so with Man of Mandan
Nice video Mack. Spoken with honesty and integrity as a gamer. Such is life in this segment of the 21st century, internet misinformation, the narcissism of social media, fanboy culture, and the toxicity of “commenting”. In this modern digital world, just as life, it is a combination of the ideal and ordeal. Keep doing what you do well at Mack and ignore the mentality and ignorance of some of those comments. As a PC gamer of more than 30 years I also understand where you are coming from. I enjoy your reviews, your upbeat humour and candour, and perhaps like myself I simply want to have fun gaming. A chance to enjoy a game that stimulates the mind and excites the imagination. That’s all !.
This guy takes the fun out of games because of his ego problem
Absolutely love your reviews even if they don't always agree with my opinion. You're honest, funny, and take your job seriously. One of the best reviewers on youtube. Keep doing what you what you do! IMO Don't get too hung up on the comment section, you don't need that stress.
I was just listening and the minute you talked about people trying to call you out because it was given to you I thought
"Didn't he already thumb down like 5 games that were gifted/ given to him by devs?"
mack you are one the best review gaming I know on RUclips atm. your videos always help me get through my difficult time irl please keep up the good work
*My god i am in loved by you. Thanks you for not going IGN. We need true reviewers that are not sellouts or plain corrupt*
im following your chanel for many years and i love your work,dont change to please this kind of toxic people that dont know what they are tallking about,love you continue whit the amazing job mack
They are trolls and it's best not to feed them
Source: I'm a troll and know how this game works
more like, you are a dickhead!
New to the channel, found it recently through a recommendation from 21Kiloton. Really appreciated this video. Gears doesn't interest me in the slightest, zero fucks given, but I enjoyed seeing someone refute the inevitable onslaught of anonymous bullshit that must hit like a truck any time someone puts an unpopular opinion out. If a game is enjoyable and doesn't have too many marks against it for technical issues, anti-consumer practices, etc, that's that. Opinions will filter out people's game libraries, but enjoyable games that don't have insidious shit hidden in them deserve to be acknowledged as enjoyable on their own merits. It sounds like a lot of your older viewers are taking issue with that sort of acknowledgement as though they'd rather you shit on the game on principle. Perhaps my new sub will help balance out their hissy fits. Looking forward to future videos, and I'll be snooping through the back catalog in the meantime.
I’m behind ya mate. 👍 I don’t always agree with your reviews, but I always respect your opinion and it is always well articulated as well as entertaining. You are my favorite reviewer, I even like you more than ACG which is saying something.
Much love
Mehh ACG focuses to much on Graphics and not about gameplay
Bless Yeah, that’s why I like this channel more. I like ACG a lot, but he can occasionally get stuck on one track in some reviews, while Worthabuy generally has a wider scope of aspects to consider.
Love your work Mack! Mate your reviews are hilarious and the fact that you are you and will never let the bullies and haters of the world change you. Again mate love your work!!! :-D
Mack, thank you for being so straightforward and honest in every video and especially reviews. You have saved my back from these greedy companies many times now and I think I and many others can appreciate that. Stay strong! 💪
Mack, your reviews are a breath of fresh air, funny and always honest. You try to point out the good and the bad, and you never bend over backwards to compromise your position that I've seen. Hater's are gonna hate, trolls are gonna troll. They're not worth anyone's time, just sad little nothings.
U made this RUclips channel no one else did so just do you
What if "him doing him" includes shitting in a bag and smearing random kids as a prank.
Fuck "you do you" culture. Be the best you... just like Mac is trying to be
Mack I enjoyed you going through the comments and agree with some other commenters here. Don't let the bad comments get to you, you do a great job at reviewing games and sure have saved me money on tons of games and have made me buy some I was on the fence about. You are one of 2 reviewers I go to for their opinion on a game. I look forward to your future reviews this year and especially this month.
6:08 - That Russian comment is:
" Mack started getting the suitcases with money most likely )"
I don't agree with him. If you like a game - thumb it up!
Probably one of the few channels that change from great to great+ over time. Nice.
If there is ONE game reviewer I trust on youtube - Its YOU mate!
This is the exact reason I watch everything you create...great job fella!
You missed out on the first 3 gears of war. The gameplay is more or less the same but Gears 2 in particular is very good.
1, 2 and 3 are well worth trying for the story alone.
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh everything’s a bullet sponge...
You’re the man Mack. After watching your review on KCD I decided to get it and loved every minute of it. I know I can always trust you to give an honest opinion, keep up the good work mate.
How I found worthabuy💪
Oh Mac, you did a 26 minute video responding to the trolls. I thought you knew the first rule of RUclips, never engage the trolls, it empowers them.
Just keep doing what you're doing. Out of all the reviewers I watch you're my go to guy for honest reviews.
You’re different from other reviewers and I appreciate your reviews! Even if sometimes I don’t quite agree, I also don’t get my pantys in a bundle by your opinion. I like to hear your opinions and like to see what you liked and didn’t like. Keep it up!!
Mack I love how you addressed the haters also i love how you explained to these people by them acting stupid every time there is a female lead in a video game is giving the left more ammunition to use on saying that we are sexist, racist, ect. Way to go been watching since 2014 keep the videos coming!
Mac youve more than proved yourself credible in my book. Haters will always hate.
Mack, you are the best reviewer that I know of. You are honest, fun, well spoken and I pretty much agree with everything you say. That is why I watch everything you publish and hope for your contininuos motivation and dedication to this industry. Cheers from Denmark.
Super Metroid. One of the best games EVER made. Female Lead. Everyone needs to grow up.
That was at a time when entertainment was mainly about "entertainment." Not arguing about sexism & misogynist in entertainment or SJW characters & revisionist in entertainment.
Jill Valentine Resident evil 2 best time with a resident evil game I ever had. If the gameplay is amazing I don't care if I'm a fucking penguin, any character will do.
I was playing Super Metroid as a kid. Then I grew up and now the power woman thing doesn't do anything for me anymore.
Samaus is more of a Mary Sue than the main character of this game.
@@Underground3 or anti sjw holding every single new game with a female protagonist a Mary Sue without knowing what it means nor trying to censor cartoons with lesbian couples( they cheered when Alabama censored that one episode of Hey Arnold that had a 7-second clip of two gay characters locking arms not even kissing or anything yet they claim to be morally Superior when it comes to censorship).
I don’t even read these comments, Mac. Been loving what you do ever since the epic 2 part No Mans Sky review. You are the only person I trust for game reviews.
Mack, love your reviews, because you give an honest, unbiased opinion. But when you're this honest, there's bound to be ignorant, unnecessary and uneducated guesses on your neutrality on a game review. Keep up the amazing work.
Loving the new feature Mack!
Honestly mack most people don't even read the comments. We all just enjoy the vids.
I love your work mack, your honest and that's hard to come by.
People acting like morons the moment they see that there is female lead character/protagonist and asume that its "SWJ/Mary Sue" character...
Apparently some people havent heard the saying "dont judge a book by its cover"....but certainly doesnt stop some people from saying that "this is shit without even playing it". These kind of gamers/people are utterly pathetic...
As stupid as it is, I can understand why they're so hostile nowadays against female representation, since for years, female representation has been mainly a tool for political statements instead of making the game better.
Still an eye-roller to see happening though.
Mack you're always the reviewer I wait for. Good job, keep up the good work. And I've lost count of the amount of laughs I'd had from your rants.
It's just the mad Sony drones who cannot deal with the fact that a competing platform managed to get a decent 3rd person shooter game.
Can't be mad after they get 1 decent game out of hundreds it's sad more so but not something that angers me lol
Being a fanboy of any console is pathetic.
Love your work mate. Even tho I don't agree with you most of the time, but I do love your honesty. I didn't need to put this here, but in light of those comments, I thought you'd might like to hear it... Don't stop mate!
Speaking as someone with over 30+ years gaming experience (like mack), if you think Mack is unfair in his reviews, just go away. You don't understand the gaming industry. This channel is raw truth. Go to IGN to hear what you want to be told.
I think I’ve watched every single one of your reviews. Love your content keep up the good work!
Tbh mate best thing to do is ignore them and If it’s truly insulting block them.. though I got admit it’s entertaining watching these idiots logic be debunked in seconds lol
Mack, when I see a game on steam or somewhere else that I've never heard of, I almost always do a search to see if you have reviewed it, for multiple reasons. You're honest with your opinions, you make me laugh, and I have found that the majority of the games that you like, I've liked as well. This goes back to the days of picking up video game magazines to get pre-release reviews. Some magazines just didn't vibe with me, but the couple that did turned me on to some great games that I wouldn't have just picked up on a whim. When I'm bored and looking for something different, I pull up your thumbs up playlist and find something. I find you reliable. For those that I don't find reliable, I just keep scrolling. For people to harass you for what you like or don't like is ignorance and more often than not, immaturity. You have to account for the age of some of these nitwits. Keep doing what you're doing because you do a damn good job doing it. Thank you!
"Your your" I just pissed meself
It ain't even that funny, unless you are a 5 year old. Have you not heard of typing mistakes ? Whats funny is your spelling of "myself". What the hell is meself ? We dont talk that shit around here. Learn proper english.
@@dk296 I type how I talk, c'mon it's pretty funny Derek ya fat ginger bastard.
@@dk296 I really hope you're joking with that comment. I'm going to assume that you are as it kinda reads that way.
What I find more funny is the person that posted that is going around in comments trying to insult other people's grammar. The salt is hilarious.
@@thespecter1530 They are? Hahahaha! It genuinely amazes me how many times you see someone correcting someone's grammar, yet they make mistakes themselves in that reply. If you're going to correct something, you have to make sure you're perfect. Same goes for the ones who reply with "Your an idiot."
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Keep doing what your doing mack, we love you because you are an old school gamer and honest
The leftists explanation in this video is the story of my life😂😂😂
just do your thing mack, your honesty and integrity you have is rare
I liked Gears 4. Since you gave it thumbs up I'll buy Gears 5. I don't care if the main character is female.
Mate, the fanboys/bots/paid shills can get fucked! Good video to address them but don't focus on them at all. Focus on your fans and people who support you and your work and your great and honest reviews.
'The crowd effect' sums it up perfectly because this is what we've all got to be careful of in life.
Don't worry about comments on the internet.. it's full of people who intentionally troll and nothing will ever change... cause it's the internet.
Your real fans appreciate you.
You good sir have saved me a lot of time .Primarily you always hop on game mechanics , it helps me select games of real value and proper challenge
Taking comments from strangers to heart will kill you man lol....don't do it.
Love your reviews Mack. You got a decent head on ya for reviewing and hope ya make loads more :)
I made a review copy joke in the gears video, just wanted you to know I was genuinely just kidding and didnt realise everybody else was making the same joke lol.
Forget about the haters, I trust your reviews and you've saved me tons of money! Keep doing a great job man!
Gears 5 was just boring. Was like Gears 4.1. Lame characters, lame story, predictable and boring. Microsoft should keep this crap on their xbox.
Dude go get laid
I'm a 45 year old gamer, been a gamer since 'pong' (the original)
I found your channel quite a while ago and knew early on that you were a gamer who values good games and fellow gamers.
Since then you've become my go to guy for reviews.
Thanks for all the honesty man, I really appreciate it.
Games are expensive and you have saved me some heartache, so thanks again.
Keep up the great work.
Good comment :-)
I also disliked the combat system in Witcher 3 but loved the game overall. Everyone has their own opinion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also i think that reading/reviewing comments isn't a good idea
I'm glad you're here Mack. Always look forward to your reviews.
OK LISTEN....when i saw the gears review even i was doubtful, it was the first doubt that came to me.
ME= "Why has mack thumbed this up? after all that shite in the game was it still that much fun to him??? well, probably..." and i left it at that.
ME= "hmmmm very interesting lets see the other upcoming reviews with a keeeeen eye"
i am telling this here becoz Mack this has happened before to other youtubers. YOUR REVIEW was INDEED DOUBTFUL for me. just doubtful nothing more i didnt jump to it that youre sold. nothing like that. m thankful to you actually hahaha
Thank you Mack for your honest reviews and always being true to yourself. Whenever I wanna check out a new game I first check if you reviewed it first. You really get it
They've just added 19 pride flags to this game. This is absolutely SJW trash.
Always honest, genuine and from a genuine gamers perspective. There are games that I thought I'd hate and invested hours in. There are games that I'd thought I'd love and were awful. It's all a matter of taste, but I want a reviewer that's more on my wavelength. I can't say what type of genre I'm a fan of. All I want is to put my game in and have an absolute blast for a few hours and genuinely enjoy myself. Keep it up mack.
Okay here is my take on sjw and people that just hate women in games. I dont like sjw either and I absolutely hated the new wolfenstein. But come on, not every game that has a female protagonist is sjw bs. Like look at the tomb raider games I love those games. I dont like devs that pushes down the sjw bs down my troath but just to hate all female characters in all games is just as bad as sjw. The only difference is that they hate men and u hate woman.
Keep doing what you do best Mack. Literally you are the main review I wait for before purchasing any game. I'll hold off just to hear some honesty because that is something that is so uncommon in the gaming world today. Thanks for being factual, and flying the flag for all of us who are trying to wrestle the gaming industry back from the overhyped money grabbing companies. Keep it up man.
I always think what these people shouting SJW/Mary Sue, would say if Alien and Aliens came out these days...
it's the regressive left's fault as they created the paranoia.
@@AbleistSL Sounds like more blame game to me. Personal responsibility is apparently a rarity nowadays.
Doesn't matter one iota what anybody else has done, we have brains for a reason. Critical thought isn't only meant to be used against your "opponents".
Best reviewer on RUclips. Purely down to the honesty, so keep it up. Only wish I found the channel sooner.
Mack's channel has been (accidentally?) attracting these kind of anti left nutters for years.
Hey Mack :) to be honest, I subbed to your channel ages ago, so long ago I forgot why I even did it then I searched "new postal game review" and your early access review came up and since that day about a month ago I've been binging your videos. You're a mad lad and I love ya. As long as you're posting videos of the quality and integrity you have been then you'll always have a sub from me.
