Yes absolutely. All that multiplayer trash... They almost have forgotten to tell really great stories. That is why most people play. They want to feel like an actual super hero and write their own stories.
Indeed; I fell out of video games like 20 years ago because everything seemed to shift to military multiplayer games where everyone just ran around shooting each other.

You're wrong. He actually used it to buy a mansion back in the 70s and become a coke dealer who was frequented by famous adult film stars. Three ended up trying to sell him baking soda disguised as coke one night and it didn't end too well for them.
Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom being one of the first movies you can remember is, I think, a common experience amongst Aussie children of our generation. They absolutely SMASHED it on Channel 10 in the 90’s and early 2000’s, they must have played it 4 times a year during prime time hours, and I absolutely devoured it each time.

It was definitely the right choice for Indiana Jones. Barely ever fired a gun in the films, and too much shooting would of gotten it accused of being an uncharted clone despite not even being third person perspective.

@@mikereisert2803 Ik. The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles was made during the 90s and is canonical. It was made way before George Lucas sold Lucas Films to Disney during 2012. So yeah, my point still stands about Indie fighting during both World Wars.
@dipoz2254 The environments were mostly bland, but the game itself was great thanks to the gameplay. Still has stuff in it I've never seen in a game to this day. I'm glad Civvie11's video helped its reputation after that Accursed Farm episodes (bless Ross Scott regardless). And considering the time it came out, it easily surpassed most FPS of that era (CODslop). The story was okay, but suffered from silent protagonist syndrome (one of the last holdouts of that) with not enough environmental storytelling to make up for it.
GOTY 2024 as far as I'm concerned. I've been a fan of the films since I was about 6 years and while the Lego Games and Emperors Tomb were great, they never really scratched the itch because I knew how well modern technology could do this franchise justice. Well done Machine Games phenomenal work.
I've been a fan of indiana jones since I was about 4 or 5 years old. I can tell you now that it's so surreal seeing an Indiana Jones product released in the 21st century be so highly praised by the masses
It was my favorite as a kid. I never knew it was controversial until I became an adult. It's pure fun from start to finish and probably the Indy film I rewatch the most.
I am glad after the huge Wokenstein Young Blood fumble, these guys are still know their craft and are on the right track, (This is the first standalone game that MachineGames independently developed since Wokenstein Young Blood), MachineGames is still the MachineGames we knew and loved. they were one of the first game developers to dip their toes into the “new wave of game developing” with Young Blood, in 2019, earlier even than Last of Us 2. And they are probably also one of the first to snap out of it (I hope my words won’t age poorly, let’s see what they will bring us next, I am optimistic) unlike certain developers, who have become obsessed with certain things that they just forgot how to make their games fun, and have been a downward spiral of failure.
"Wokenstein"? Is it "woke" because you punch N@zis? Because I'm pretty sure you can punch N@zis in Indiana Jones, too. Does punching N@zis trigger you, lil guy?
@@HansGruber-e7x why are you so mad, the “Wokenstein” I am talking about is Young Blood, which is universally agreed within the fanbase as being a fumble. New Order and Old Blood and maybe New Colossus are my favorite And why do you throw the word Nazi so easily around while even afraid of using the actual word? Are you mad because I used the word “woke”?
I'd love to see MachineGames put the same level of passion and attention to detail into a James Bond game. But I guess we'll have to wait and see what IO Interactive does with Project 007 first.
What, they screwed up Wolfenstein so bad with NC and YB that they'll just end up becoming the video game spin off company? Like the dudes who made the Robocop and Terminator games?
@ManiacMayhem7256 wolfestein young blood is old by now they proven they improve upon that games and make right their mistake by doing this games also tayon is a aa game company i doubt they have the manpower or money/budget and support to make the jurrasic park games robotcop and terminator games tayon may have enough budget and man/support to do so while machinegames is aaa games teams they have the budget, manpower and support for a jurrasic games
@@walterroux291 I tried to play the game through the years but it just refused to run ( or run well ) on my PC. But yeah, this should scratch the hitch 😉😉
@@ArmandQ. It's the extremely rare kind of movie tie-in game that's better than some of the Riddick film entries. Which sounds like this game is the same, if you're counting the latest two entries in the Jones filmography.

It's such a small detail but I absolutely love the titles. They are so true to the original film and add to the Indy-feeling. Beautiful tribute from true fans
oh man, I can relate so much to the first anecdote about watching Indiana Jones as a kid. I remember when I was at a 11. birthday party and only the older kids were allowed to watch Lord of the rings. They said it was to brutal for us. So they picked a "softer" movie for us, which we should watch in another room. It was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I still remember the scene with the heart. I was terrified back then.
Machine Games making the Wolfenstein games was just practice for this, I guess. Only other ones that could've done it better is maybe Arkane Studios and I don't even know if they are the same people working there that made Dishonored and the like.
@r.e.z9428 Same, I'm a huge Indy fan and I too was jealous that Xbox/PC were getting it but not us. I was gonna get a series X on black friday but the disc version that I wanted didn't have the offers I wanted so I'm gonna wait.
They should remake it. Indiana can be a young sassy black girl who instead of fighting nazis and hunting for artifacts, writes angry tweets about men (the non uterus kind), the west, the cons of capitalism vs communism, and calls everyone who disagrees nazis.
Indiana Jones has had it rough for awhile, especially with a disappointing 5th movie. It’s nice to know one of cinema’s greatest characters is getting a well deserved win. Something the franchise desperately needs and hasn’t had in awhile.
Really hope this gets a sequel or two, I'll admit I thought it was gonna be no higher than a 5 or 6 out of ten for a long while after it was announced. Turns out it's probably my vote for GOTY 2024. Well done Machine Games.
It feels very strange, that a modern studio respects the original IP in a completely new work of the IP. MachineGames' most recent game being Wolfenstein: Youngblood(technically), no less, which certainly dumped all over the previous works.
Most reliable, straight-forward review channel on the platform. Glad to see your take up as always. Maybe we shall see what you make of The Thing Remaster later? Only time will tell.
Doubt anyone remembers The young adventures of Indiana Jones. I loved it growing up seeing Indie's origin and growth going on crazy adventures. Exploring,meeting interesting sometimes historical people, solving puzzles and good ole punching people in the face. So it's great to have another new adventure to actually play.
I know its only a minor thing, but that main menu to actually playing the game transition is genuinely one of the coolest features i've seen in a long ass time.
Idk why Machinegames are not focused on making sequel to Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (I don’t count Wolfenstein:Youngblood as a sequel). It’s been 6 years (almost 7) since Wolfenstein II, give us one more damn it
Because they’re owned by MS and will likely do what they’re told, prior to MS they were owned by Bethesda so likely did what they were told by their parent company.
I'm so happy to hear this game actually did Indiana Jones justice! Shame my computer isn't able to run it right. Once I get the resources (or wait til spring time of next year), I'll get this game. And yeah, the punches are chef's kiss! Definitely the Indiana Jones trademark punch sound effects!
I feel like this was a great start of something big on their end and hope they eventually do another installment that follows up the events of The Last Crusade where they improve one some things from this game. These are the types of games we as gamers have wanted for a long time in this time of competitive pvp culture.
It is not the engine. It is the developers, and too many inexperienced people are developing games, and too many studios are pushing out slop before it is complete.
Thank god they didnt censor you know what symbol. This is how I know the game is going to be fun and truly creative, historic, and make me feel like Im fighting against evil. Take notes gaming industry, especially the war games, Indiana just called all the other game studios a bunch of cowards.
25:44 I think that was definitely on purpose because the focus was on the melee combat and they didn’t want to replace it out of the blue. Kinda like in dying light where guns were super useful in specific situations but otherwise were worthless
Crazy how all of these "WoKe MoDeRn GaMiNg" channels were hating on this game for months basing their assumptions off tweets and anything BUT GAMEPLAY! Stop judging games before they release and wait until people ACTUALLY play it to get an opinion on it, just because a game isn't for you doesn't mean it is a bad game!
I'm glad to see you were also wearing Indy's Temple of Doom outfit in Suhkohai. The leather jacket just looked way too hot for how humid and muggy that place felt
I think I can have hope for games again. Singleplayer? Proprietary engine? Good writing? Good puzzles? Combat that doesn't feel like an afterthought? There's so much good about this game
I was 12 or 13 when the first one came out and got to see it with some friends. I don't remember the year, but it was in 83 or 84 I think. Raiders had already made its way into my heart, and I think because I was older when Temple of Doom came out and understood things better, it surpassed Raiders for me. First 3, amazing and I don't wanna talk about the rest lol.
I think the only Indiana Jones I've played was Fate Of Atlantis. A point and click adventure game from LucasArt's glory days in the 90s. It has voice acting and the guy playing Indy sounds more like a Film Noir detective than Harrison Ford. (still works out!)
Looks like those twitter journos and grifters have chosen...poorly on shitting on this game too early lol 😅😂 happy to hear this game is fun for you and i can't wait to play it!!!
It's because of Sweet Baby Inc and their history of unnecessary changes to games. People also do not like them or their condescending attitude towards gamers being "picky babies" and thus are wary of anything they are a part of. However, if a game is good and doesn't insult males or Caucasians for no reason other than the childish "it's our turn to be rude", then it's definitely worth taking a look at.
People are right to be suspicious these days, given how many times we've been bamboozled or watched our beloved heroes treated like trash. It looks like this game may break that trend and if so then I couldn't be happier.
Bro as an Italian person I'm amazed that the voice actors they hired are *actually* Italians. I am so used to american voice actors pretending to be italians without even googling a pronunciation, or even straight up going for gibberish impressions that I'm always stunned for a second when my mother tongue is treated with respect in media
Just sign up for gamepass for one month. Its like $15, as far as I am in the game rn, I will say that its worth the $70. It will melt your pc on the highest settings.
I haven’t stayed up until 4am playing a video game in at least 10 years. This game is phenomenal, it’s very true to the IP and it actually feels like an Indiana Jones movie.

@@viewer3323Veilguard is good. Yeah, it has a trans character, but if you're such a snowflake that that makes a game bad to you, then you are the problem.

Imagine hearing on January 1st, 2024 that one of the year's very few triple A games that wasn't a flaming bag of dog turds would be a licenced Indiana Jones game...
It seems the wait was worthwhile I remember the announcement of this game was made quite a long time ago
There’s more great Indiana Jones games you don’t know about. Fate of Atlantis, Emperors Tomb, Infernal Machine and Staff of Kings PSP version.
So it’s canonical that Indie not only fought the Germans in both World Wars but also the Italians during WW2?!
Nothing that was made up after George Lucas is cannon
And Japanese as well
@@mikereisert2803 If I am not mistaken both Lucas and Spielberg were involved during development of this game.
@@mikereisert2803 Ik. The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles was made during the 90s and is canonical. It was made way before George Lucas sold Lucas Films to Disney during 2012. So yeah, my point still stands about Indie fighting during both World Wars.
The Germans
The Italians
The Indians
The Chinese
The communists
Yeah Indies got a track record.
The open world-like levels you explained remains me of Raven Software's Wolfenstein '09. This is definitely on my radar now.
The game had a ton of extremely fun mechanics, although the game was rather bland, and the story was almost non existent.
@dipoz2254
The environments were mostly bland, but the game itself was great thanks to the gameplay. Still has stuff in it I've never seen in a game to this day. I'm glad Civvie11's video helped its reputation after that Accursed Farm episodes (bless Ross Scott regardless). And considering the time it came out, it easily surpassed most FPS of that era (CODslop). The story was okay, but suffered from silent protagonist syndrome (one of the last holdouts of that) with not enough environmental storytelling to make up for it.
They brought the shovel.
OH HEY
@thatemocat Wow I had no idea I'd bump into you here, a surprise for sure but a welcome one none the less hahaha.
my wife just bought this for me for an early christmas gift!!!!!! i do not deserve this beautiful person
GOTY 2024 as far as I'm concerned. I've been a fan of the films since I was about 6 years and while the Lego Games and Emperors Tomb were great, they never really scratched the itch because I knew how well modern technology could do this franchise justice. Well done Machine Games phenomenal work.
its the closest game we will get tto russell crowe's: fighting around the world
Where should we fight people next tugga
The Mike Stoklasa "What's wrong with your face?" 😂😂😂
RLM references mark individuals of quality and taste. Your favourite RUclipsr's favourite channel.
I've been a fan of indiana jones since I was about 4 or 5 years old. I can tell you now that it's so surreal seeing an Indiana Jones product released in the 21st century be so highly praised by the masses
The Temple of Doom appreciation I’m seeing from people our age as of late makes me really happy. Such an underrated classic.
It was my favorite as a kid. I never knew it was controversial until I became an adult. It's pure fun from start to finish and probably the Indy film I rewatch the most.
Last Crusade will always be my favourite but Temple of Doom has the best intro, 20 minutes of just constant action & fun.
I am glad after the huge Wokenstein Young Blood fumble, these guys are still know their craft and are on the right track,
(This is the first standalone game that MachineGames independently developed since Wokenstein Young Blood),
MachineGames is still the MachineGames we knew and loved.
they were one of the first game developers to dip their toes into the “new wave of game developing” with Young Blood, in 2019, earlier even than Last of Us 2. And they are probably also one of the first to snap out of it (I hope my words won’t age poorly, let’s see what they will bring us next, I am optimistic)
unlike certain developers, who have become obsessed with certain things that they just forgot how to make their games fun, and have been a downward spiral of failure.
"Wokenstein"? Is it "woke" because you punch N@zis? Because I'm pretty sure you can punch N@zis in Indiana Jones, too. Does punching N@zis trigger you, lil guy?
@@HansGruber-e7x why are you so mad, the “Wokenstein” I am talking about is Young Blood, which is universally agreed within the fanbase as being a fumble.
New Order and Old Blood and maybe New Colossus are my favorite
And why do you throw the word Nazi so easily around while even afraid of using the actual word?
Are you mad because I used the word “woke”?
I'd love to see MachineGames put the same level of passion and attention to detail into a James Bond game. But I guess we'll have to wait and see what IO Interactive does with Project 007 first.
i need them to make a wolfenstein 3 with bj blascowitz vs mechahitler
@@flameknuckleno
What, they screwed up Wolfenstein so bad with NC and YB that they'll just end up becoming the video game spin off company? Like the dudes who made the Robocop and Terminator games?
@ManiacMayhem7256 wolfestein young blood is old by now they proven they improve upon that games and make right their mistake by doing this games also tayon is a aa game company i doubt they have the manpower or money/budget and support to make the jurrasic park games robotcop and terminator games tayon may have enough budget and man/support to do so while machinegames is aaa games teams they have the budget, manpower and support for a jurrasic games
Feels like the Chronicles of Riddick game but for Indy
Jerk Gustafsson and a few Others from Starbreeze Studios( Chronicles of Riddick butcher bay and Dark athena) worked on it
Oh hells yeah. That game blew my mind as a kid. So immersive.
@@walterroux291 I tried to play the game through the years but it just refused to run ( or run well ) on my PC. But yeah, this should scratch the hitch 😉😉
@@ArmandQ. It has to be patched and fixed, but it will run.
@@ArmandQ. It's the extremely rare kind of movie tie-in game that's better than some of the Riddick film entries. Which sounds like this game is the same, if you're counting the latest two entries in the Jones filmography.
Glad it's not Unreal Engine 5
Runs just as bad, or worse though.
@@brando3342no it doesn’t?
@@00-JT Someone’s not seen the system requirements 😬
@@brando3342Runs surprisingly well and damn stable. RTX 3080 here with a R7 5800x and playing on High-Ultra with DLSS on Quality at 1440p ( no frame gen cuz no 40 card ), getting around 80-90 fps with lowest drop being 67 until now. It's actually pretty damn well made.
@@NOTH4R BRUH… you have a freaking 3080, and you think 1440p WITH DLSS, and getting less than 100fps is “good”? … holy hell, you’re running the game at 1080p, bro, on a 3080 🤦♂️
I love that they even added the "Harrison Ford pointing at stuff" acting technique
It's such a small detail but I absolutely love the titles. They are so true to the original film and add to the Indy-feeling. Beautiful tribute from true fans
Tony Todd! RIP
this title trolled the fuck outta me i ran so fast to check my steam wishlist.
I think it has for people who pay more.
@@joeallen3388 And maybe for people who bought the expensive NVIDIA cards?
oh man, I can relate so much to the first anecdote about watching Indiana Jones as a kid.
I remember when I was at a 11. birthday party and only the older kids were allowed to watch Lord of the rings. They said it was to brutal for us.
So they picked a "softer" movie for us, which we should watch in another room. It was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
I still remember the scene with the heart. I was terrified back then.
You will have to torture the money out of me
If you think I'm contributing to the payday of the people that made Wolfenstein young blood
Four hours of cinematic is like two films in one, that’s amazing
As an Uncharted fan (with the Indie trilogy - yeah, trilogy - being my childhood) this is easily the most pleasant surprise outta 2024.
This was the first game for Xbox that I was legit jealous of as a PlayStation owner in a long time. I'm glad they are going multi platform with this!
Machine Games making the Wolfenstein games was just practice for this, I guess. Only other ones that could've done it better is maybe Arkane Studios and I don't even know if they are the same people working there that made Dishonored and the like.
Really? This is the game? Is the reason cause your an Indy fan?
@@r.e.z9428 No, cause it's a great immersive sim
@r.e.z9428 Same, I'm a huge Indy fan and I too was jealous that Xbox/PC were getting it but not us. I was gonna get a series X on black friday but the disc version that I wanted didn't have the offers I wanted so I'm gonna wait.
@@lesterama6110 Thats fair still don’t think its anything to be jealous over. The only issue I see with it is how linear its looking.
It makes me so happy to see a youtuber that has actually seen the damn movies.
Ya know what?
Fuck it. Ima go watch Raiders of the Lost Ark. Its Friday. I aint got no job. And I aint got shit to do!
They should remake it. Indiana can be a young sassy black girl who instead of fighting nazis and hunting for artifacts, writes angry tweets about men (the non uterus kind), the west, the cons of capitalism vs communism, and calls everyone who disagrees nazis.
@@fredfinks What stage of culture war brainrot is it where you go on unprompted fantasies like these lol
I just watched it rn 😅 it was great as usual. Game is sick too. I'm actually having fun. Weird saying that with a Bethesda title
@@fredfinks 💀
@ubmoment im in university and watch disney and other contemporary media. How out of the loop are you?
I laughed my ass off when I Heard Super-PunchOut! at the Underground Boxing Ring. That was my favorite parts of the video. Great Job Gmanlives!
Indiana Jones has had it rough for awhile, especially with a disappointing 5th movie. It’s nice to know one of cinema’s greatest characters is getting a well deserved win. Something the franchise desperately needs and hasn’t had in awhile.
Really hope this gets a sequel or two, I'll admit I thought it was gonna be no higher than a 5 or 6 out of ten for a long while after it was announced. Turns out it's probably my vote for GOTY 2024. Well done Machine Games.
Can't believe my man didn't mention Emperors Tomb smh
Ikr that's the best one! I hope this game will be similar in some ways
@@Schandorf-ms8sm It definitely looks more similar to Emperor's Tomb than Infernal Machine (my personal favourite) at least.
Uhh Fate of Atlantis is the greatest of all, which also was not mentioned.
@@m.j.5681 Only if you're into point and click games, which not everyone is.
He said the last real Indiana Jones game came out in 2009 and Emperor's tomb was before that in 2003
Best review on this ive seen, and thanks for including the legendary music bits as some other big reviewers didnt have any music at all👍
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis will forever be the #1 game for Indiana Jones.
I'm glad you included that Simpsons Indiana Jones reference cause that opening sequence is still one of the funniest bits in Simpsons history.
It feels very strange, that a modern studio respects the original IP in a completely new work of the IP. MachineGames' most recent game being Wolfenstein: Youngblood(technically), no less, which certainly dumped all over the previous works.
Most reliable, straight-forward review channel on the platform. Glad to see your take up as always.
Maybe we shall see what you make of The Thing Remaster later? Only time will tell.
Couple days!
Nah, I'll take the 'Worth A Buy' channel for that
@rvh1999 I shall have to check this channel out. Altho, I will say G Man covers games more in my wheel house so, that's definitely why I feel that way
@@Player-10 Even after the Star Wars Outlaw review?
Thats when i unsubbed to this channel after years.
He pretty much lost all of his edge.
Doubt anyone remembers The young adventures of Indiana Jones. I loved it growing up seeing Indie's origin and growth going on crazy adventures. Exploring,meeting interesting sometimes historical people, solving puzzles and good ole punching people in the face. So it's great to have another new adventure to actually play.
I know its only a minor thing, but that main menu to actually playing the game transition is genuinely one of the coolest features i've seen in a long ass time.
Is it just me or does anyone else love the mullet madjack outro such a nice vibe to the outro and great video too
@SolidGrim bro it's literally the same music lol
Idk why Machinegames are not focused on making sequel to Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (I don’t count Wolfenstein:Youngblood as a sequel). It’s been 6 years (almost 7) since Wolfenstein II, give us one more damn it
100% agreed
Because they’re owned by MS and will likely do what they’re told, prior to MS they were owned by Bethesda so likely did what they were told by their parent company.
I'm so happy to hear this game actually did Indiana Jones justice! Shame my computer isn't able to run it right. Once I get the resources (or wait til spring time of next year), I'll get this game.
And yeah, the punches are chef's kiss! Definitely the Indiana Jones trademark punch sound effects!
it s so good to see troy baker reprise his role as troy baker
I genuinely want a game that's just Troy Baker, Nolan North, and Steve Blum talking to each other in every funny voice and accent they can think of.
@Calvin_Coolage I want a game where all the characters, regardless of age, race and gender, be voiced solely by troy baker
@@magnaesca165 That'd be funny too.
Troy Baker who's real name was Troy Baker was known by his stage name: Troy Baker
I was kinda sad seeing Tony Todd here. RIP😢
I feel like this was a great start of something big on their end and hope they eventually do another installment that follows up the events of The Last Crusade where they improve one some things from this game.
These are the types of games we as gamers have wanted for a long time in this time of competitive pvp culture.
Finally a game not made in UE. So tired of that slop.
This. UE is overrated as hell.
Most of the time, they don't optimize the game at all. Even happens in Unity, very annoying to see 95% of the time
It is not the engine. It is the developers, and too many inexperienced people are developing games, and too many studios are pushing out slop before it is complete.
Thank god they didnt censor you know what symbol. This is how I know the game is going to be fun and truly creative, historic, and make me feel like Im fighting against evil. Take notes gaming industry, especially the war games, Indiana just called all the other game studios a bunch of cowards.
25:44 I think that was definitely on purpose because the focus was on the melee combat and they didn’t want to replace it out of the blue. Kinda like in dying light where guns were super useful in specific situations but otherwise were worthless
Crazy how all of these "WoKe MoDeRn GaMiNg" channels were hating on this game for months basing their assumptions off tweets and anything BUT GAMEPLAY! Stop judging games before they release and wait until people ACTUALLY play it to get an opinion on it, just because a game isn't for you doesn't mean it is a bad game!
An FPS game where you can go around kicking people and throwing shit at them, the children yearn for Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
So much whip carnage it's enough to make a Belmont cry
3:21 Did I hear right? The 4080 super has 16gb of ddr5? That can't possibly be correct.
nope its not, it has 16gb of DDR6x vram, must have been a mis-spoken mistake, well I hope it was or he is very uninformed on his sponsors product

I'm glad to see you were also wearing Indy's Temple of Doom outfit in Suhkohai. The leather jacket just looked way too hot for how humid and muggy that place felt
Oh man, that first shot showing Indie's face was so good! Also, this running on Idtech engine is such a breath of fresh air! This looks great
Needed an honest review before I considered it as I've long stopped trusting journalist sites and social media. This fit the bill nicely. Thank you.
I think I can have hope for games again. Singleplayer? Proprietary engine? Good writing? Good puzzles? Combat that doesn't feel like an afterthought? There's so much good about this game
The ID tech engines aren’t proprietary tho. And there been great unreal 5 games like metaphor refantazio and silent hill 2
Huh? are you dumb hahaha
I was 12 or 13 when the first one came out and got to see it with some friends. I don't remember the year, but it was in 83 or 84 I think. Raiders had already made its way into my heart, and I think because I was older when Temple of Doom came out and understood things better, it surpassed Raiders for me. First 3, amazing and I don't wanna talk about the rest lol.
What rest, there’s only ever been a trilogy.
My favorite was the PS2 era "the emperor's tomb" that was the definitive version of an Indy game
I watched Dunkey's video where he spent 8 mins chucking random shit at enemies to make them ragdoll....... i was immediately sold then and there
14:09 this doenst look right ? i mean theres no hit reaction
I must admit that this was goofy to watch lol
I think the only Indiana Jones I've played was Fate Of Atlantis. A point and click adventure game from LucasArt's glory days in the 90s. It has voice acting and the guy playing Indy sounds more like a Film Noir detective than Harrison Ford. (still works out!)
Remember playing this as a kid back in the day. That was a great game. Up there with Beneath a Steel Sky and Monkey Island.
Looks like those twitter journos and grifters have chosen...poorly on shitting on this game too early lol 😅😂 happy to hear this game is fun for you and i can't wait to play it!!!
Fr those MFs had me worried for a bit 😅
It's because of Sweet Baby Inc and their history of unnecessary changes to games.
People also do not like them or their condescending attitude towards gamers being "picky babies" and thus are wary of anything they are a part of.
However, if a game is good and doesn't insult males or Caucasians for no reason other than the childish "it's our turn to be rude", then it's definitely worth taking a look at.
Eventually people get defensive of their money, and people have been burned a few times, this was bound to happen because 70 bux isn't cheap.
People are right to be suspicious these days, given how many times we've been bamboozled or watched our beloved heroes treated like trash. It looks like this game may break that trend and if so then I couldn't be happier.
The mob who mock liberal "snowflakes" have become such snowflakes themselves.
Bro as an Italian person I'm amazed that the voice actors they hired are *actually* Italians. I am so used to american voice actors pretending to be italians without even googling a pronunciation, or even straight up going for gibberish impressions that I'm always stunned for a second when my mother tongue is treated with respect in media
It's up there with Tomb Raider and Uncharted. Such a fun and immersive experience. One of the best adventure games I've played in years.
I really wish developers would use ANYONE but Troy baker, you'd think there's only one VO artist in the industry
$70!? It looks good, but I kinda want to wait just on that.
Just sign up for gamepass for one month. Its like $15, as far as I am in the game rn, I will say that its worth the $70. It will melt your pc on the highest settings.
I haven’t stayed up until 4am playing a video game in at least 10 years. This game is phenomenal, it’s very true to the IP and it actually feels like an Indiana Jones movie. It’s the best video game I’ve played since Skyrim, coincidentally from the same game studio. Bethesda was made for a game like this.
Bethesda didn’t make the game, how out of touch are you? 😂
23:15 Reverb fart
Thank you
Or is it? You can hear that explosion from a distance.
I was waiting for Aphex Twin to start playing lol
Butcher Bay was a unique game in terms of gameplay and I'm glad that another game has taken that on.
Yeah, but shouldn't have they, like, improved on stuff. Gameplay in this game just feels very off, especially with its basic stealth.
Usually i do trust Gman, but currently i am not sure. You were not bought off no? Some other reviews are not so shiny.
Shut up. Game has 87 on metacritic.
@@Gggmanlives they gave veilguard an 82 so far from the best source to quote
@@viewer3323Veilguard is good. Yeah, it has a trans character, but if you're such a snowflake that that makes a game bad to you, then you are the problem.

@@Gggmanlives the mighty has fallen. You used To be the greatest.
those Soundeffects hit the spot. The punch crunch still sounds so good.
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine on the N64 was pretty good back in the day.
Temple of doom came out in 1984 and was the movie that caused pg13 rating to be created.
Red Dawn was the first PG13 movie
Temple of Doom and Gremlins were both the reason for PG-13 being created.
Instead of putting CGI Harrison in terrible movies or recasting the character as fucking Chris Pratt, maybe just let the character live on in these type of stories.
Minus the woke crap
