You know what absolutely kills me? When people skip dialog, skip reading, skip cutscenes, and smash next on all quests. Then complain that the game has no story or no content….
Story is meh.. Giving the Stone of Gaea to a crazy necro lady obsessed with her brother is pretty wtf moment. It's so obvious a set up for the next story
I’m so obsessed and passionate about this game. From 500 hours in eso on console this game blows it out of the water!!! Best console game out right now! not just MMO but in general
As someone who doesn't care for MMO's with the exception of Star Citizen which is a love/hate relationship since 2016 lol, New World is definitely worth it. I was so happy to find out that I could solo all of the game. My only nitpick is this game needs photo mode. The game is too beautiful to not have some kind of photo mode.
I started out as an occultist, but the game really hit its stride for me when I decided to make my own "class." I'm rocking axe and bow in a build I call the furious woodsman and it's been a blast. The biggest factor for me, outside of the Lost-like story is the movement. It's incredibly satisfying and feels fast and natural, but not overwhelming. The ability to theorycraft my own build with a combination of weapons, armor types and skill points is a huge improvement over the often stale (to me) class systems present in other MMOs. The game looks gorgeous on my big ass TV, and the crafting is very cozy and satisfying. Big ups!
Yeah that's totally something that I think I even gloss over, which is how easy it is to BUILD YOUR OWN thing in this game, which is something a lot of other games miss when they have class systems.
Played on launch, played again with the expansion and playing again now. At the end of the day, it's just a fun game, with great environments and fantastic atmosphere and sound.
I’ll just say, I had the misfortune of spending £45 on Undisputed, an unfinished piece of crap. Spending £50 on this has really restored my faith in gaming( PS5 player)
Only just come across your channel, great content buddy and thanks for helping me make my decision on buying the game, shall be putting some hours into it over the weekend 🔥
I just finished the MSG with the Isabella boss fight. It’s fantastic. Even though it took me about 12 tries to beat her. I’m going to go harvest and craft before I head to Brimstone Sands. I’m very impressed with the game. I played it at launch and when the dlc launched but never got past lvl 30. It didn’t click for me. This time around I’m satisfied with the game and look forward to future content
I played og New World and I liked it but I was playing alone so I didn’t enjoy it as much, now that aeternum is out I can’t get off the game, so much fun, and I got friends to join and they’re loving it too
Hey I'm interested in playing the new story line but if I already played the old one can I replay the new story line with the same character? or do I have to make a new character to experience the new story line?
It's kind of amazing the difference in the questing and story from the original release until now. I was like you - i found the original questing obnoxious. Some of the worst i'd experienced. I know - the age old arguement about - if you're playing an MMO for the story you're doing it wrong (which I dont agree with incidentally - there's plenty of examples from guild wars to wildstar to old republic who have proven this wrong). But New World - man. It was literally go to this location, find x cooking recipes for this NPC. No relevance to anything. No context, with a main story which felt like it'd been put together via chatgpt. This new one - it's cohesive, the cinematics are well handled, fully voiced. I cant believe it. I also cant believe just how well mounts are integrated - how well they're animated, sound, feel. Their balance between roads and off-road. ALL of it. Guild Wars 2 was the king of mounts for me, but I reckon these New World mounts are up there. They dont have the novelty of GW, but the way theyve been put into this game is honestly amazing - plus adds another layer to the already good game world. Oh and that's another thing that was soooo bad in the original release - the quest pathing. You had the classic case of pick up a quest, go back to hub, repeat - but around some of the most horrible to navigate terrain. You'd be constantly having to go the long way around mountain ranges etc. It was utterly annoying. Oh and finally - swimming! Christ - one thing originally - the fact your character would just walk along the bottom of a body of water until drowning was so bloody laughably bad. Just knowing it was there was an immersion killer. Ive barely used it in this new release, but the fact I can just makes all of it a non issue. For me - a dude similar in age to you, but in Australia, I reckon this new version of the game is easily two thumbs up. Im a tad taken aback by all of this too - would not have predicted it.
I currently only have the base game and have been enjoying the early game. I thought that the dlc gets me the mount, a new weapon type and a raid if I remember correctly, so I haven't felt the need to buy it yet. Like I said I have enjoyed the base game so far but now I'm wondering if I'm missing on some other stuff too not having the dlc 🤔 Maybe I should actually buy it and not wait.
@@Renfail I wish I could fix my problem by not sleeping. 😂 Actually, I’m working 12 hour shifts the next six days 😮💨 Thursday will be my first day off. It’s gonna be a great day! ✌️
In my opinion, this is the best MMO right now. Easy to learn, with an immersive combat system, and enough content to play for 200 hours and be happy. I'm glad I didn't play it until its re-release. It just feels right....... and NO FKNG PTW
This game is better then wow as a new player . I played wow and nwa as a new player and new world feels so much better . Im still addicted playing as a ranger/hunter
hey can i ask if the steam version or new world: Aeternum comes with the dlc Couse the dlc is on the store for new world: Aeternum so i was wondering if the new version of the game comes with the dlc for steam version they don't make it very clear atleast to me
@@Renfail it is easy to get sidetracked in the game because I enjoy crafting and gathering so it's like quest and then be like on the other side of map gathering and then be like ooops well 5 min walk back to the quest path....😂
Chat from other players, yes. You can also set your server at the beginning to ONLY be the platform you are playing on, which will reduce the number of players on screen when you log on.
This is somewhat completely unrelated and random. I just watched “The Remarkable Life of Ibelin” and it made me want to buy this game. I don’t own a pc and I doubt the overall experience is similar to the WOW community-but idk-I just want to be part of an online gaming community.
You're doing yourself a great disservice if you don't check out the dungeons. The have aren't overly difficult or complicated but they have great scope and scale
its fun but the population is way too low at least on my new server. there isn't even people doing the Halloween event at prime hours. no one queueing for dungeons as well.
at this point i have 5311 hrs in this game my first toon has almost done everything i do not pvp anymore how ever i do enjoy the new pvp island so no i do pvp again and it is real fun in there started a new toon so i could see the revamp story it is 100% better then launch and it didn't cost me one red cent more for the change ps keep trolling the trolls it is funny as hell
I do have 1 gripe about the game that bugs me. Harvesting and mining are chores. It shouldn’t take harvesting 10 times to level up one time. It seems super random. Why are high level plants and ore in a low level zone? It’s a waste of nodes. Put them in the appropriate level zone. Harvesting exp is too low.
@@Renfail I've been here from the start man. Since day one. I've seen every cycle ..and how it ends. A month from now the game will have 10k or less players on steam. I really love this game, but I can't excuse the devs and how they treated the player base in the past and I think alot of people are feeling that, the friends I played with have already come back, checked it out, went for a swim and left. Maybe consoles will keep the game alive.
I have 44.8 hours in this game . I'm already level 60 and almost done with the main story. Any seasoned mmo player will rip through this game. This is also my first time playing it. The game was redone for consoles so amazon could milk the last dollars out of it and the proof of that is them moving the core dev team to their lord of the rings mmo project. That tells me future content for this game will be slow to come , if it comes at all. The game would have been a better deal at 30 bucks. Them putting all the nicer mounts and skins behind a cash wall should tell everyone what they are all about. Those things could have been added through content, like incentive to go out and finish book pages. Outside of the 10 man raid and pvp there is no endgame . By the time new players reach it there will be no reason to max out crafting and things like that because returning pc players have already hit level 65 and have maxed out crafting and selling the best items on the market two weeks after launch. New players only incentive to do such things will be to say they did it . Most of your good mmo's will release new expansions every year to year and a half , this game has been out three years and has one expansion and two re-launches....that's not a very promising history.
Still feeling scammed from getting the launch version on pc. Still need to buy the 30$ dlc to get thr base verson console has, and i still have no access to mounts. Also lost my Character with this this "update" Game was way too unfinished at launch, so still salty. Now the current version console has is vastly better than the launch version we had. Im still enjoying the game dont get me wrong, but fuckk.
@@Renfail it blew my mind when I sein a video whit grace o malley in the game Irish famous pirate that and ur video automatically sold it to me definitely

omg yes!
I was going to guess cancer or heart disease.
Story is meh.. Giving the Stone of Gaea to a crazy necro lady obsessed with her brother is pretty wtf moment. It's so obvious a set up for the next story
PREACH! I point this out all the time
If I want a good story, ill read a book. Video game developers are terrible story tellers
OMG is it ever, there's so much to do and see, I am 199% pleased with my purchase and the rollout was a TREAT compared to most other games.
Right?!
Totally 100% with you on this👍
Agreed 💯💯💯
As a new console player I'm loving NW.
It's been pretty damn fun so far.
definitely 😭
I’m so obsessed and passionate about this game. From 500 hours in eso on console this game blows it out of the water!!! Best console game out right now! not just MMO but in general
it's pretty good!
You need to play more games lol.
It's the only game, after WoW, that hooked me that much so far. This game is very very good. Can't wait for the 2025 roadmap.
I can't wait!
Where can I find the road map
doing the math if you paid $60 for 75 hours of content you are paying 80 cents an hour for entertainment. That's a lot cheaper going to the movies.
Soooo much cheaper.
As someone who doesn't care for MMO's with the exception of Star Citizen which is a love/hate relationship since 2016 lol, New World is definitely worth it. I was so happy to find out that I could solo all of the game. My only nitpick is this game needs photo mode. The game is too beautiful to not have some kind of photo mode.
Yes. It legit needs a photo mode.

I’m pve player only , the endgame is it's worth ? Or there are only pvp content in endgame ? Should i buy this game ?
Lots of guides on my channel addressing all of those questions.
This game is better then wow as a new player . I played wow and nwa as a new player and new world feels so much better . Im still addicted playing as a ranger/hunter
Its worth it yes ,lots of campain and endgame to do if you a new player.
Indeed. Three years' worth of updates and etc. to chew through.

You're doing yourself a great disservice if you don't check out the dungeons. The have aren't overly difficult or complicated but they have great scope and scale
I've done a few :)
As a bro player on console, literally anything would’ve done lol but I’m living it so far
I really wish I bought this on PC instead of console because of the monthly subscription to Xbox Live you need play online.
It's a consderation for some, yep.
its fun but the population is way too low at least on my new server. there isn't even people doing the Halloween event at prime hours. no one queueing for dungeons as well.
My server is jam-packed. I'm also playing as a single player ARPG, so it doesn't impact me in any way, shape, or form.
@@Renfail fair enough i guess but for myself if i play a MMO, i want the MM part of it.
Not meant as a sleight as the person that said this, but "Quests aren't content" is one of the dumbest things I've heard in my life of gaming.
indeed it is.
Ps5 plays here, game is amazing
Im playing it on and off because i enjoy the lifeskilling and tnl has none
Is it like eq2? Also equ has a lot endings
