Control Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Rent, Never Touch?"

[@moralesjourneyman]

8:00 Remedy was very thoughtful to offer an option that mutes copyrighted music. I'm sure YT creators will appreciate that. Also, great video!

[@Kronx1970]

Double Damage that made Rebel Galaxy Outlaw did that as well. I suspect more are going that route. It is a nice addition though.

While I appreciate the consideration I hate that developers have to accommodate for a problem completely not their fault but at the fault of a faulty copyright system that KZbin needs fix.

[@matthiasmartin4355]

I have gotta say, I think the combat was even better than you gave Control credit for. I have never seen telekinesis done as extraordinarily well as in this game. The levitation also feels damn great in combination with the dash move . It is damn near perfect except for the aiming bug which you mentioned. Let's face it, this combat on top of a lightsabre melee mechanic would be the ideal, dream-come-true scenario for a Star Wars game with jedis and blasters.

[@b34k97]

Just started Control a few weeks back and I'm about halfway through now. Man is it good! The combat just feels so polished. There's enough enemy types, weapons, and abilities that you have to keep your strategy varied for success, yet you can fall back on some of your favorites (mine is definitely the telekinetic launch). Combine that with the real creepy atmosphere and this game is just a real winner.

[@DimitriosChannel]

[@austinm5630]

I just got this game last week (on Steam, no EGS for me still) and I watched 4 reviews since then, wondering if everyone else thought it was as amazing as I did. And every single one of them mentions the "inner monologue." Except, it's not. If you pay attention to the story, Jesse is talking to Polaris, not herself. Now, yes, this is technically a thought inside her own head (i.e. she isn't verbalizing it aloud) however since it is a conversation with another character, it isn't a monologue. And if the VA didn't voice it aloud for us, there would be no way for us to know about this dialogue - which is absolutely what it is, dialogue, not a monologue. I'm not sure if I'm the only person alive who picked up on this or what. I've never played any previous Remedy game, so I'm getting the impression that in previous games it WAS a monologue and thus a bunch of reviewers are ASSUMING it's a monologue this time around.

[@thaliacalearete]

Is it weird that as I played through Control one of my initial thoughts was, "the ACG guy is gonna LOVE this game." Best thing I've played all year!

[@eiadtarabulsi]

I'm definitely getting a Quantum Break/Max Payne/Alan Wake vibe when it comes to Control, which isn't a bad thing, especially considering how much I enjoyed those titles. The voice acting is pretty good. Combat is satisfying (both the gunplay and the powers). Destructible environments are highly appreciated. The visuals look great. The story is enjoyable. I like the level design as well. The game's replayability is always a major plus. Sure, there are a few issues. However, they don't detract from the overall experience. Having said that, I would love to buy the game as soon as I get the chance to do so. It looks very interesting and intriguing. With that aside, thanks once again Karak. I really appreciate the continued hard work!

This game has aged very well. I think it went under the radar for some time as the confusing as hell beginning threw a lot of people off from playing more. It was confusing for those familiar with Remedy and their quirks let alone those who were not. A game that does NOT treat you as an idiot and discovery and untangling the narrative as enjoyable as the gameplay. Not a long game but not short either with meticulous metrovania pacing. 9/10.

You break down every facet and even though you give a recommendation, you give enough info for me to make my own decision. Keep up the good work. I really appreciate it.

[@walterkeene]

Yeah, I generally try to base games on $1 per hour. If the game only has 12 hours of enjoyability then I'm not getting my money's worth. The game does seem fun and interesting. Also the combat looks ok but a little linear from this gameplay video, I will wait for a sale till it drops at least to the $30-$40 range and maybe I can explore everything in the game to make it worth it.

Redmist 78 I’d say meta critic is worse than rotten tomatoes. The average rating on rotten tomatoes seem pretty accurate with the quality of a movie whereas it’s the tomato meter that either makes an average movie seem godly or an okay movie seem like the worse thing ever made. Metacritic however, you can have users review bomb a game for the stupidest of reasons and certain “critics” would just ate on a game or like a game simply because of a single story element that happened even if the game has great gameplay and a good story besides that one part.

Just a quick shout out to that intro - a KZbinr with a pretty big platform genuinely going out there to encourage you to support other you tubers not only to subscribe to them but to watch their videos and like them too to help build the community. It’s a shame there isn’t more of this out there, also became a patreon for ACG today and I couldn’t be happier to support a channel 😊

15:18 had me roooooollling I would end up throwing that body around for 10 minutes lmfaoo and then Peter Griffin " heads up " when I throw it .

[@ElCyberiusOrchestra]

Your reviews are the most honest imo Angry Joe is there, but he makes a show out of it and therefore is always late.

[@ACGreviews]

thanks spread the word, join the patreon, tweet it. Whatever ya can.

[@huskytzu7709]

Cyber Orchestra usually I always just buy and finish the game before angryjoes puts out a review. I don’t think that even helps out anyone. But i like his content for entertainment

[@stevenewsom3269]

@@huskytzu7709 you do know there are people that dont buy every game the day it comes out, right?

[@JZStudiosonline]

Aww, that guy's face is likely actually scanned or modeled. Poor bee-face man.

After the first 2h this games becomes awesome. The powers really make it shine

[@monsterfurby]

Thanks for the review! I was intrigued, but the motion blur and just how movement in the game looks overall doesn't go too well with my motion sickness. Not being able to turn motion blur off just kills any game for me, unfortunately.

[@GeorgeNoX]

im liking Control so far, pretty decent game but then again Remedy always delivers on good games that are right up to my alley

[@MatthewThornhillTheDoctor]

I *love* Remedy. One of the very few developers I will pre-order from.

[@beastofdarknesss5822]

Yup i preordered too the game's downloaded just got 3 hours til midnight

ACG probably won't see this comment, but I have to give credit where it's due. I've watched dozens of ACG's reviews, and I can tell in this one he tries to do things differently and it shows, making it one of the better narrated reviews that I've seen from the channel. 1. Noticeable slow-down of pace when speaking (esp. at the beginning, then, towards the end, he sorta goes back to rapping monotonously) 2. Finally some changes in voice inflections at chritical moments. Intonations matter a lot, and I could hear him putting effort into this area. Definitelly a move in the right direction. 3. Fewer jokes in this one. Which is really good because they almost never land (sorry), in my humble subjective opinion of course. Overall, I enjoyed this one much more than his previous work. And I know he always puts a lot of work in his scripts (and it always shows). Now finally, seems like the presentation is starting to catch up.

[@ReveLuv1814]

I had to skip to the end to hear you say "this is a buy for me" :D Can't wait for tomorrow!

[@pepperidgefarms165]

I had to subscribe becuase your reviews are the best out there, way better than skill up or others. Also because you shouted out smaller you tubers and that’s awesome.

[@jaju123456]

Got it for 10 dollars on eBay - works if you have a RTX GPU and comes with Wolfenstein Youngblood too. An option for those of you out there with limited $.

[@kingkaratechop3978]

You do so well with reviews! And thank you very much for bringing up the smaller youtubers, I just reached 100 subscribers so I’m growing slowly but surely. Thank you and good job with this review!

[@ACGreviews]

good job!

[@kingkaratechop3978]

ACG thank you very much!

[@AbbreviatedReviews]

That security guard is like Benedict Cumberbatch with a peanut allergy.

[@LordArlack]

Thanks for the review, and the info about settings, very helpful! I'd pull the trigger and get this, but nope, not going with Epic, oh well, plenty of other games that can have my money instead.
