bro you should really replay the game, it almost seems like you're bashing the game for no reason at all instead of a review. almost all the points you make are just... wrong.
If someone is going to avoid watching this video because these comments, just watch the first 30 to 45 seconds and don't click off immediately. That way, the algorithm will realize that people really didn't like this garbage slop of a video. Weirdly, you only count as a viewer after you give the video some watch time. Also if you aren't an american or don't generalize a whole population, check out the english interview the producer of the game did with an youtuber called iitztimmytwo. Seems like a really cool chinese guy and who just wants to make a fun game. Doesn't really seem like hyper-corporate capitalize greedy evil political guy. Just a two cents from a fellow se asian neighbor. Oh yeah, my bad for the awkward english btw.
ngl bro the card system alone is enough to put this game on the shit list, looks like the most boring system. Also picking everything every round and watching highlight? This game would legit have no flow
I'm going to be 100% honest. I'm roughly half-way through the video, and half of your points just seem like misplaced hatred? Possibly for the genre of the game, or whatever it may be. Keep in mind I'm a much different player than you are, I'm an ex-competitive player in multiple games such as CS,OW1,R6 (Albeit not a Pro, or Semi-Pro, but I've reached ranks I'm proud of and understand the basic of the competitive scene. Examples being Strat making, Team plays, etc.) My opinion will be drastically different from yours, but I still want to share the points that I feel are just wrong in some regards, and to give a fair counter to your video, because I feel as if there's just a lot of unjustified hate towards a lot of the points you've brought up. I may go through the entire video, I may not. Lets get to the topic points I've seen. Comparing the game to other AAA games that have came out, such as CS, and Siege, is quite frankly foolish. Compare the playtest numbers to other more or less middle ground games such as The Finals, the playtest from my understanding of doing research and playing the game had 20,000-ish people playing the closed beta. Which is around what the Finals has now, albeit the Finals has had it rough spots here and there. It's still seen as a relatively alive game for the players who like the style of it. The voice-lines are.. "different", of course I'm not going to be a blind idiot and say they're good. But it shouldn't be a topic of complaint, as in your settings menu, under audio, there is an option to just.. disable them entirely? I don't quite get the full on berating of it. The point of Axon throwing his Sticky Grenades just feels out of place, like a snarky remark. Not to mention you're just.. not using the character right, albeit there's no way to play a game properly in a sense, the mechanic of throwing them is meant to be held, not tapped each time. Which quite honestly proves to me you didn't play the game enough to give it a fair review? Just my thoughts on it. The card system you are just, entirely wrong about. Albeit I'm a new viewer of your channel and this popped up in my feed, so I don't know if you're what most people would call "experienced" in games like this. But it's clear you just don't understand the game, and that's 100% fair. It's a slightly confusing game to get into as someone who hasn't put enough time into it. Back to my point about the card system, I can tell you're in a ranked match in many of these clips, and you must just not be using or reading them right. Some of the cards your Captain HAS to ban otherwise they fully dominate both sides (which both teams often ban them anyhow.) And then there are rather goofy cards, but even those cards have a competitive advantage, all of them really do if you use them properly. Lets take "Big Heads" for example, this card is foreseen as a goofy card, but in reality it really isn't. It's a card that increases the head hitbox of the enemy team, forcing them to play slower and take less fights. Changing the tide of the match nearly entirely. I could give multiple examples, but this is just my take on the card system. It's unique and honestly brings a fresh air with all of the oversaturated games that have been out recently. I really disagree with it being a "badly executed mechanic", and I think it's just a lack of understanding of the game. (Not trying to say this in a rude way.) Onto the Maps of Fragpunk. In my eyes, and many others, they're essentially perfect for what the game is trying to accomplish, there's spots you can get onto that are nearly out of sight, like Trick spots using Knife Dash with Corona's dash. The maps are definitely nowhere near the same, and I kind of see it as invalid as the maps are designed for more competitive play while HAVING the casual aspects of the card system and mechanics within the game, I mean it's a A-B(Sometimes C) map layout, it's perfect for what it wants to be. Could it be better? Of course, everything in anything can be better. But it's definitely not the same, nor awful. The "Generic Staple" characters. Plain and simply, your point is just, wrong, I'm not trying to be aggressive or really rude. But the designs of the characters are definitely a different style, disliking their design is one thing, but saying they're generic tactical characters is just.. god you're wrong. The characters are built well for how the game is designed, and there's even extra utility with the secondary utility pistols in the game. On top of that, look at Corona for example, a character you're literally playing in the next clip where you complain about the voices (which you can turn off, if you looked in your audio settings for a few seconds. Which makes it even funnier, because you turn it off afterwards which is just, strange?). That character is unique, his molly taking up space and giving Corona a power angle positioning where he's faster in the molly, and can also combine his human flash with his dash, is insanely unique. The way the character's combined mechanics work are kind of crazy. Not to mention the other characters in the game, some aren't the best, but they're definitely not generic. I mean, even look at Axon from your point about the game earlier, the character has the only sliding mechanic, (besides the terrain card which allows all lancers to slide.) combined with a built in shotgun and a volley of grenades to stop enemies from pushing into, or out of a site. And him being the only character with anti-flashes allow him to push into a site relatively well, making him a strong entry fragger. Again, it just seems like strange hate I guess?
The buy system is actually an outrageous point to make, it's a game with from my understanding a unique buy system in the genre, it forces you to make choices to drain your enemy's weaponry. Such as buying SMGs start round, or Deagle start round if you're good enough to. Not liking it is fine, but my god this entire video could be summed up to, "I don't like any of the mechanics in the game". Which is insane to me, if you don't like a game, that's fine. But why make a video about it when half of your points are just kind of, wrong? Like not even opinion based, like the way you use the characters are wrong, the way you describe the game's card system is just wrong. The buy system is perfectly fine, especially if you're in the higher ranks. Such as Diamond or Master. It's the game's buying mechanic and frankly it's pretty well built, again it's just how you use it. The buy system's character selection is another weird point to make, it's an amazing tool that allows for each team to change their strategy per round, so the game doesn't feel washed for the entire 6-12 rounds. I mean, it even allows the duel system in the game to feel actually competitive as it doesn't lock you into a character you may not be feeling at that point and time. I'm genuinely starting to think this is a rage-bait video, as during the clip you're complaining about the buy period, you're running around for 20 seconds? Meaning you have 20 seconds to spare during that time. Not to mention that's in the Casual mode, which you have to participate in buying cards in. As in Ranked you can just give up the card play to your card Captain. The name of the characters, they're called Lancers. I'm confused if that's what you were complaining about or not but it seems you got their name confused with a different name of something in the game? Didn't you just say the cards and characters were generic? How are they "bullshit" now? The Duel Mechanic is directly inspired by Football, this is from the CEO's mouth himself. It's really meant to be a balanced and fair Tiebreaker mechanic, saying it should be involved more in the base game is kind of misguided. Just play the Duelmaster mode, which I'm sure was made for the exact reason you had. Albeit I don't see it as a problem as much as you do. I think the Duel system is possibly the best Tiebreaker mechanic in any game I've ever played, it doesn't drag out the game any further than it needs and really brings out a fair fight in-between the teams. As it's Player V Player, with some different styles depending on which character is played. This is like, possibly the fifth time you've complained about the voices, which is ironic because in the clip prior you turned them off. It's getting kind of outrageous now to be honest. You turned them off, I'm assuming this clip was used before you figured out you could turn them off, but right after you said turning them off made it more enjoyable? That should've been placed as soon as you complained about them the first time? Back to the characters, yet again. The Lancers are actually well balanced, I don't want to say this again, but it's just.. a lack of understanding. It's as if a guy who's never played a hero shooter goes into a game of Overwatch or Valorant and complains about Vyse's ultimate for taking his primary, the clip you used was Zeph being invisible. Believe it or not, she's the worst character in the game in terms of capability. Her invisibility flickers unbelievably fast and she's still loud while invisible. The only time she's relatively useful is when her arena is set up, which tells your team to utility the site she would be in, or to rotate. A lot of your points just seem like you're not understanding it, don't want to, or simply aren't experienced enough in the game to comprehend? To me it's simple, but we're different people with different brains. As soon as I saw the character I understood her skillset, and a lot of the people I played with did as well. Onto the monetization methods used by the game. THIS is the only thing I would have had a complaint with. However, it is a Beta, CLOSED Beta, and there's many points you kind of didn't bring up that made the game shine for me and many others. Which I'll explain later in further detail. Onto the monetization systems they're using. It's a Chinese company from my understanding. They have *very* different views on monetization than Western companies do. And even then, you could've brought up the point that everything in the game at the moment is completely free of charge, and they're generous enough to give you a free skin that would cost a decent bit of clams if bought with real money. The way the system works is directly based off a lot of Chinese beliefs and use they monetize their video games, and to be honest, I didn't hate it. I never hated the Lootbox system in OW1, and I don't hate Cases and Tradeup contracts in CS:GO-CS:2. And those are just refined gambling systems to monetize their games. Although I didn't hate it, I don't necessarily enjoy the way it can go, the direction they're going could be extremely greedy, or extremely forgiving. That's something we'll have to see once the game releases. Now I'm going to try to ignore the "gooner bait" comment on the characters and skins, it's how they want to design their characters, I have 0 problem with it and it's honestly a rather strange thing to bring up. As you have to look at those characters in that way to make that judgement, which isn't quite fair to begin with due to where the company is founded. They have very different beliefs in cosmetics than us Westerners do, do I enjoy the character designs and the one skin they added for the character? Yeah, honestly I do, it's refreshing to not have a game be judged by who and what they want to make. If they want to make a skin like the one for Kismet, let them do so, it's the imagination of the Design team, and it's clear they had fun making it. If you don't like it, don't use it. Better yet, don't play Fortnite, Siege, Overwatch, or really any other game with skins Designed like it. Onto the final point, and really the kick in the balls as someone who found you through this video. I came into this video assuming you were going to be a fair, and honest review of the game. Backed up with evidence that wasn't bias based off personal skill or lack of. But there's.. none of that, there's no proof or examples you've given that were honest and fair to the game or the Developers who came up with those ideas. It's all just a kind of frustrating bias that even you yourself admit at the end of your video. You "aren't the biggest Tac-Shooter fan", in your own words. Then why even install the game? You knew it was a Tac-Shooter, installed it, went out of your way to play the game to the point to where you unlocked Ranked, PLAYED it for two-days, recorded, and or streamed the game for said days. Just to make a video dumping on the game with frankly awfully constructed points, whilst laughing in a lot of the clips you even put in the video? It seems very counter-intuitive and it's really disappointing to see. I'm not a reviewer or anything like that, but I'm also someone trying to do RUclips, and I know that this, just isn't a fair video. You went out of your way to even say you think less of players who enjoy it..? I don't think you did your research at all for this video, or dare say even made a script? Many Professional players, content creators, and many others like this game a lot. This entire video seems like a dogging on a game that you didn't expect to like in the first place, just to make a video out of. In no way do I absolutely disagree with you 100% in some of your points if explained properly with enough explanation. I think the majority of the video is biased. It isn't really much of a review as it is a dogging on a game with little to no research, if any at all. If your points had concrete grounds to them, such as examples of characters and explanations of why said character is broken, weak, or generic, with EXAMPLES of other games. Then sure, I would love to hear your point and give you a counter-claim to said point as someone who possibly has more experience in the game.
And the funniest thing about it is, nowhere did you give any leeway to the Fragpunk team. It's a Closed Beta, nothings going to be perfect. Nothing is absolutely "perfect" in anything, not everyone will like everything. You played it, and seemingly "reviewed" it like it was a finalized game that was already out to the public. Which makes it more even more humorous that you went out of your way, not being a fan of Tac-Shooters, to apply for the Closed Beta, just to try it and give it a rather unfair vocal beating from someone who doesn't understand or like what they're trying to give. In no way, shape, or form am I saying that your feelings about the game are wrong. Everyone can feel their own way, but there's a solid line on the topics you made. A lot of the stuff you gave as points are simply the "reviewer's" fault. An example being you saying the characters are generic, then saying they're broken, then saying some are generic again without giving valid points and examples. The voices are indeed bad, but the fact is things are subject to change, VAs could be switched around, characters could be redesigned. Again, it's not a final product. To sum it all up, some videos shouldn't really be made. And I feel like this is one of them. You should've played the Closed Beta, streamed it, then uninstalled it if you feel this way. And moved onto any other game. And if you really thought balancing, maps, and any other gameplay points were bad, you should've explained it better, and gave further detail in said topics. It genuinely makes me really disgusted as someone who's really enjoyed the game. I've seen many "eh just okay" reviews of the game, which include some of the same points you had just in further details. But this is the first that's genuinely made me confused, upset, and frankly frustrated enough to write a comment. I apologize if my comment is jumbled, confusing to read, or needs further explaining.
you bring up solid points and voice exactly how i felt about the video. i get that hes trying to make a "review", but its anything but a review. its just dogging on the game with no fair explanation or good reason, and quite frankly i was quite interested on what he had to say with the things he disliked but he never went into the topics he made deep enough for me to truly get a grasp on why he didn't like it. the reasons he made are too fragile to hold their word, everything he said can be easily deflected as just straight up false. which it is insane to say its false, considering this is a review? i dont even know how you accomplish that. i can very obviously see where he got his inspiration from for this video, and its probably videogamedunkey if i had to guess. i enjoy videogamedunkeys videos, he brings up fair points and reasons that the viewer and player of said game he's reviewed can say is justified. this review does not accomplish that same thing.
Yea this just seems like misplaced hatred for a unique and innovative game there has not been a game like fragpunk in the longest time and the fact that you as a gamer and reviewer are trying to bash a game that's not only innovating but has more polish then most games OVER VOICELINES is absolutely rediculous and the fact that your trying to say that the game is like valorant is literally a spit in the face of the developers once again this is your opinion and your cokpletly entitled to it, but your critiques and criticisms that your trying to make fall flat on they're face not only that but you don't say one good thing about the game so it just comes off as a hate project rather then a review and it comes off as very bitter and distasful do better
the things people do these days for views is so sad.. sorry bro, but although you have alot of views, you also have alot of people disliking ya now, not a good way to go if you wanna take this platform seriously.. just saying Edit: 236 Dislikes... not a good look
Definitely hating for no reason to the point that you’re not making sense. Its just pure word vomit bro. Also TONE DONE the bgm. We cant hear anything bro
Where did the inspiration for obnoxious, shitty voiceline having characters come from? It seems so commonplace now and I don't know a single person that enjoys it
let me save u some time the good points start at 6:36 and end at 8:03 and he brings up a good point in the start n close to the end about how the characters talk to much that's about it...
except that is not lol. Each half you reset your loadout which takes 5 rounds. If you cannot master multiple guns and live off by OP crutching whatsoever then you are simply not skilled enough. This is a game that REQUIRES aim and not just lazy play. Besides, there is also cards that make guns free if anything. This guy (not you) has no idea what he is talking about. Especially because all his complaints are so easily fixable or simply not even real considering he cries about things that do not even exist. Man's got 2k subs to hate on a game that a LOT of people enjoyed. I genuienly wonder what his strategy is here lol
@ItsDxni lol then there no good points lol. For me the picking faze not long enough bc I'm a bit slow n the characters can be a bit of chatty Cathy's but that's where the complaints end for me. Also has this guy commented on any of these comments bc I have not seen it yet
Subbed because of another video 2 days ago and left because of this. "Don't recommend channel" yikes Bro complains about voice lines, BUT HAS THE OPTION TO TURN THEM OFF!
overwatch and developers jumping on a trend. At least with movies it can take 2 years on average, games like this are 5plus, even if it is good, people will cope their way through playing overwatch instead just like madden every year because sunken cost, time, and connections made through it.
I like how you have these shooters where you are shooting people to death, blowing people up etc but every playable character just talks squeaky clean with no swears or funny jokes. I think that is a big reason I don't like most characters in hero type shooters
lol maybe i take my old quake/cs days to heart but the name of this game alone steers me away from it, the word fragpunk just sounds very pretentious, a game called fragpunk should more resemble rocket arena or something rather than valorant.
@@truemono02 it’s like a brain rot game there’s a slot machine in spawn, ttk is really quick, plus the cards, and the individual character abilities. everything just hella complicated

Although I didn't hate it, I don't necessarily enjoy the way it can go, the direction they're going could be extremely greedy, or extremely forgiving. That's something we'll have to see once the game releases.
Now I'm going to try to ignore the "gooner bait" comment on the characters and skins, it's how they want to design their characters, I have 0 problem with it and it's honestly a rather strange thing to bring up. As you have to look at those characters in that way to make that judgement, which isn't quite fair to begin with due to where the company is founded. They have very different beliefs in cosmetics than us Westerners do, do I enjoy the character designs and the one skin they added for the character? Yeah, honestly I do, it's refreshing to not have a game be judged by who and what they want to make. If they want to make a skin like the one for Kismet, let them do so, it's the imagination of the Design team, and it's clear they had fun making it. If you don't like it, don't use it. Better yet, don't play Fortnite, Siege, Overwatch, or really any other game with skins Designed like it.
Onto the final point, and really the kick in the balls as someone who found you through this video.
I came into this video assuming you were going to be a fair, and honest review of the game. Backed up with evidence that wasn't bias based off personal skill or lack of.
But there's.. none of that, there's no proof or examples you've given that were honest and fair to the game or the Developers who came up with those ideas.
It's all just a kind of frustrating bias that even you yourself admit at the end of your video. You "aren't the biggest Tac-Shooter fan", in your own words. Then why even install the game? You knew it was a Tac-Shooter, installed it, went out of your way to play the game to the point to where you unlocked Ranked, PLAYED it for two-days, recorded, and or streamed the game for said days. Just to make a video dumping on the game with frankly awfully constructed points, whilst laughing in a lot of the clips you even put in the video? It seems very counter-intuitive and it's really disappointing to see. I'm not a reviewer or anything like that, but I'm also someone trying to do RUclips, and I know that this, just isn't a fair video. You went out of your way to even say you think less of players who enjoy it..? I don't think you did your research at all for this video, or dare say even made a script? Many Professional players, content creators, and many others like this game a lot. This entire video seems like a dogging on a game that you didn't expect to like in the first place, just to make a video out of. In no way do I absolutely disagree with you 100% in some of your points if explained properly with enough explanation. I think the majority of the video is biased. It isn't really much of a review as it is a dogging on a game with little to no research, if any at all. If your points had concrete grounds to them, such as examples of characters and explanations of why said character is broken, weak, or generic, with EXAMPLES of other games. Then sure, I would love to hear your point and give you a counter-claim to said point as someone who possibly has more experience in the game.
And the funniest thing about it is, nowhere did you give any leeway to the Fragpunk team. It's a Closed Beta, nothings going to be perfect. Nothing is absolutely "perfect" in anything, not everyone will like everything. You played it, and seemingly "reviewed" it like it was a finalized game that was already out to the public. Which makes it more even more humorous that you went out of your way, not being a fan of Tac-Shooters, to apply for the Closed Beta, just to try it and give it a rather unfair vocal beating from someone who doesn't understand or like what they're trying to give.
In no way, shape, or form am I saying that your feelings about the game are wrong. Everyone can feel their own way, but there's a solid line on the topics you made. A lot of the stuff you gave as points are simply the "reviewer's" fault. An example being you saying the characters are generic, then saying they're broken, then saying some are generic again without giving valid points and examples. The voices are indeed bad, but the fact is things are subject to change, VAs could be switched around, characters could be redesigned. Again, it's not a final product.
To sum it all up, some videos shouldn't really be made. And I feel like this is one of them. You should've played the Closed Beta, streamed it, then uninstalled it if you feel this way. And moved onto any other game.
And if you really thought balancing, maps, and any other gameplay points were bad, you should've explained it better, and gave further detail in said topics. It genuinely makes me really disgusted as someone who's really enjoyed the game. I've seen many "eh just okay" reviews of the game, which include some of the same points you had just in further details. But this is the first that's genuinely made me confused, upset, and frankly frustrated enough to write a comment. I apologize if my comment is jumbled, confusing to read, or needs further explaining.
Holy essay
you bring up solid points and voice exactly how i felt about the video. i get that hes trying to make a "review", but its anything but a review. its just dogging on the game with no fair explanation or good reason, and quite frankly i was quite interested on what he had to say with the things he disliked but he never went into the topics he made deep enough for me to truly get a grasp on why he didn't like it. the reasons he made are too fragile to hold their word, everything he said can be easily deflected as just straight up false. which it is insane to say its false, considering this is a review? i dont even know how you accomplish that.
i can very obviously see where he got his inspiration from for this video, and its probably videogamedunkey if i had to guess. i enjoy videogamedunkeys videos, he brings up fair points and reasons that the viewer and player of said game he's reviewed can say is justified. this review does not accomplish that same thing.
@@shadolphin Bad habit of mine. 😅
Nice ragebait
I don’t get videos like this. Like it’s ok to not like a game and to be critical of it but to blatantly make stuff up about it is weird man.
he the typa guy to complain about the bees in animal crossing being able to sting
IM DEAD SO TRUE
not liking a game is other thing but saying the game is totally bad i think you need a brain checkup because almost 90 % of the fps players liking it
L take bro
bro, just delete this video cuz your take is honestly trash. Do take into consideration that this was a beta?
Don't care it's a beta. We bave a right to nitpick it.
@@SpartanJoe193”we” are you his boyfriend or something?
@@punkypony5165 No. We have the right to criticize a game. Beta is not an excuse
bro have more deaths than kills and say that is bc the cards are not balanced ahahahah
this review sound like a baby crying on nothing because he didnt understand it and sucks playing it
This better is some genius rage bait.
didnt watch the video 2/10 rage bait nt
congrats, you earned a "Don't recommend this channel anymore" .
thx u showed me good game to play
Yea this just seems like misplaced hatred for a unique and innovative game there has not been a game like fragpunk in the longest time and the fact that you as a gamer and reviewer are trying to bash a game that's not only innovating but has more polish then most games OVER VOICELINES is absolutely rediculous and the fact that your trying to say that the game is like valorant is literally a spit in the face of the developers once again this is your opinion and your cokpletly entitled to it, but your critiques and criticisms that your trying to make fall flat on they're face not only that but you don't say one good thing about the game so it just comes off as a hate project rather then a review and it comes off as very bitter and distasful do better
The bgm is drowning you out
That’s one good thing about the vid at least
Yeah this take is REALLY bad 😂
i agree with the other comments, feels like you played 3 rounds and got salty
the things people do these days for views is so sad.. sorry bro, but although you have alot of views, you also have alot of people disliking ya now, not a good way to go if you wanna take this platform seriously.. just saying
Edit: 236 Dislikes... not a good look
FragPunk is legit "HIM"!
Most fun I had on a game in awhile xD
Definitely hating for no reason to the point that you’re not making sense. Its just pure word vomit bro. Also TONE DONE the bgm. We cant hear anything bro
bro i know the celeste sound track is good and all but you really gotta turn it down a lil bit its too loud
Where did the inspiration for obnoxious, shitty voiceline having characters come from? It seems so commonplace now and I don't know a single person that enjoys it
Bro made one of most bad reviews i had ever seen 😅
No way bro said forza is a “realistic racing sim.” 50 seconds is all it took for me to click off this garbage vid.
let me save u some time the good points start at 6:36 and end at 8:03 and he brings up a good point in the start n close to the end about how the characters talk to much that's about it...
except that is not lol. Each half you reset your loadout which takes 5 rounds. If you cannot master multiple guns and live off by OP crutching whatsoever then you are simply not skilled enough. This is a game that REQUIRES aim and not just lazy play. Besides, there is also cards that make guns free if anything. This guy (not you) has no idea what he is talking about. Especially because all his complaints are so easily fixable or simply not even real considering he cries about things that do not even exist. Man's got 2k subs to hate on a game that a LOT of people enjoyed. I genuienly wonder what his strategy is here lol
@ItsDxni lol then there no good points lol. For me the picking faze not long enough bc I'm a bit slow n the characters can be a bit of chatty Cathy's but that's where the complaints end for me. Also has this guy commented on any of these comments bc I have not seen it yet
Subbed because of another video 2 days ago and left because of this.
"Don't recommend channel" yikes
Bro complains about voice lines, BUT HAS THE OPTION TO TURN THEM OFF!
you need voicelines for awareness... game really needs option to make voicelines less annoying
Hard rain is insanely good what are you talking about
Most of your points just dont make sense or it makes it seem like you played 3 rounds
bro u look like a strange fusion of a newborn and a teenager not ready to make thougts but can already talk
overwatch and developers jumping on a trend. At least with movies it can take 2 years on average, games like this are 5plus, even if it is good, people will cope their way through playing overwatch instead just like madden every year because sunken cost, time, and connections made through it.
I like how you have these shooters where you are shooting people to death, blowing people up etc but every playable character just talks squeaky clean with no swears or funny jokes. I think that is a big reason I don't like most characters in hero type shooters
basing a game of a haircut is crazy
so u hate that there are voicelines, which you could turnoff and thats a key point in your vid, rage bait
Stop hating the game only because you're bad at it. Wtf?
Ur just bad at the game
you moving with your body while you playing xd
bro this guy just wants views and he should give more credit to the game because it has been praised by pros of other games
Fragpunk really suck. I enter expecting uniqueness... to then see the same skill on 3 characters, terrible looks... Nah. Not worth it.
6/10 ragebait
The music in background it's so annoying turn it down or off ig much better
Had some respect for you, but you really threw that all away just to be edgy and nitpicky.
lol maybe i take my old quake/cs days to heart but the name of this game alone steers me away from it, the word fragpunk just sounds very pretentious, a game called fragpunk should more resemble rocket arena or something rather than valorant.
So Back for Blood/Valorant. HARD NO, EASY PASS, SEE YA THERE FRIEND :D
Bro your takes are trash💀💀. I can't tell if your trolling or on something.
For some reason I’m kinda curious about this game now, in the sense that I think this makes another good case study.
1/10 ragebait
L ragebait go play cs2 mid game
Lmao must have been bad at the game, this review is very out of touch
nice take bro. quit youtube ;) (just a tip)

ya you completely right this game bad
you played it? how was it?
@@truemono02 Pretty fire ngl. I sucked at first but once I got the hang of it, it was fun.
@@truemono02 it’s like a brain rot game there’s a slot machine in spawn, ttk is really quick, plus the cards, and the individual character abilities. everything just hella complicated
