I forgot where I heard this before but this game just isn’t afraid to be a video game. Too many games are trying so hard to be hyper realistic but I don’t play games to be hand held through a story that could have been told through a movie. I want my games to get batsh*t crazy sometimes. I don’t think that makes this dated, that makes it not afraid to go nuts

Indeed. It is a game yet tells a story. Nothing fancy, it can be cheesy, but it's a game to have fun with. It's not trying to be a cinematic marvel or rival AAAs. I'd say Gungrave GORE is a lesser version of this, but that too is most definitely a throwback. It plays almost like the PS2 game lol

The RE4 remake is an AAA title and in the 25-30 i spent playing it i encountered 0 bugs and 0 texture pop in, the game was still fun and knew when to spend some time away from the typical gameplay loop to keep it interesting, and you know what? It had 0 bosses that you had to fight twice. I understand that the mid to late 2000's is a nostalgic era for you, but try not to let your rose tinted glasses convince you that those kinds of games are objectively better rather than subjectively.

Absolutely loved this game. So much fun, not even remotely overcomplicated. Yeah, it's very much story light, or just not deep at all, but it was enough to keep it interesting, along with the gameplay. Evil West brings me back to a time where games were just fun. They didn't have to innovate, restructure and revolutionize, they just had to be fun is all. Loves your video, always love your videos and, more often than not, I am on the same page as you, but not here. Maybe it will be one of those you revisit down the road.

"bloat" is an overused critical term, and accusing a 10 hour game like Evil West of it seems a bit absurd. the only game that i would say is legitimately bloated is AC Odyssey - i typically find most other games accused of bloat (Witcher 3, Mafia 3, Alien Isolation, Mad Max, etc) to be fine as long as i play them intermittently. one has to wonder if reviewers complain about bloat not because a game is actually too long, but rather because they play the whole thing in a handful of very long sessions to meet arbitrary embargo deadlines.

This game is great fun, I found mechanics such as the cooldowns really encouraged you to strategize and mix-up tactics, plus you could use perks and skills to improve the parts of your kit you favored. Your comments on the story felt a bit off base. It may be light and loaded with one-liners, but it's not confusing or weighed down in politics, everything moves at a brisk pace... It's not like the "Sony walking simulator" (which hey, I actually like them) because you're never too far out from an action set piece. Overall I found it enjoyable in an old school way.

I've played through a considerable amount of the game (haven't beat it yet) but every single level in this game looks completely unique. Like, I can confidently say that you could glance at a random screenshot from the game and know exactly what level it is because of how different the aesthetic for each is. The desert town is distinctly different from the underground upside down pyramid, and that itself is different from the turquoise swamps, or the frozen mining facility, or the apocalyptic looking oil field.

I happen to enjoy this game despite its intense linearity because it brings me back to the type of games that you would have seen in the mid to late 2000s. So, dated in that sense is simply being nostalgic, which isn’t necessarily something that hurts the game and its presentation. If you were hoping for something like Red Dead Redemption 2 but with vampires, then the game obviously fell short. I just wanted to have fun, and I did.

Vanquish I'd say isn't revolutionary, and its a game I like. Simply put its a game that never reached its full potential, movement while fast and has more options than typical Gears of War like games. It's very limited in terms of Ariel maneuvers, the most you can do is a dive kick into an enemy and cover for a bit of shooting mid air. even on foot theres a sheer disconect between the environment and you options, where cover can slow you down (like trying to hop over) and is full of invisable walls. Or animations to do something as simple as climbing a ladder, or jump down a ladder. It's not a simple animation but, more of an Re4 style prompt to climb it. Not a good thing to have movement and combat stop for as simple as a ladder in a movement action game. The melee system is stupidly limiting and handicaps you more than actively helps. Why do a punch when it takes away all your energy for movement? The enemy themselves aren't that interesting or varied, just robot designs that I can't remember besides their color. The levels themselves are very forgetable and basic as well, shooting on a small cargo train thingy, escorting a truck of soldiers, very, very slowly in a dark tunnel... I could go on, again, I love Vanquish, but it has so much missed potential and a lot of flaws. I really wish we got a sequal. Its an okay game with solid combat thats just not as flushed out as it could be. Its not revolutionary, it did nothing new besides add slide dashing and very raw melee combat to a Gears of War esque shooter, but besides that it is extremely unmemorable and flawed.

Every AAA game from Sony, Ubi, and many others has all this hand holding, forced exposition from characters, melodramatic cutscenes, goofy ranking systems where you can't kill lowly enemies because of a number hovering above their head, can't explore, can't figure stuff out on your own, etc. Many times I just want to shoot at shit, hear some cheesy dialogue, and be done in a few days. I've had more fun with these AA type games the past few years than I do most AAA games. Even though critically, the AAA are better in most ways. But they are so manufactured and purpose built for awards and mass sales that I can't stomach them anymore.

As much as I enjoy and trust G-Man's word on some of these games, his difficulty to admit that down-time has an actual purpose feels deeply flawed and that's all I'm gonna say about his reviews. EDIT: Seeing how people are missing the point of what I'm trying to say, I think GMan's DIFFICULTY to admit that down-time has a purpose is a sign that he lacks the fundamental understanding of what makes down-time so important in some games. Lots of games do this, not just for story purposes, but to give the player some time to breathe and admire the world around them, if they wish to, or to ponder on previous dialogue.

It's actually quite a lot like DMC, but mixed with GOW and Doom. There's no weapon wheel. Everything is designed to absolutely wombo combo a vampire. The difference is that unlike combos being a pivotal mechanic, it's a natural thing you develop to do as much damage as possible, with incentive being to lose as little health as possible. So you have to be fast, if you stop moving you'll get obliterated, you hit like a bus, and it's cathartic to juggle people.

honestly you don't do the game justice, everything about the experience to me is really fun,every weapons plays differently from an other and does requires knowledge of the situation, ennemies are varied and they use differents tactics forcing the player to adapt, killling is really satisfying. The games has terrible texture that feel cut budget but to me this game really goes to the essential. The game is a well shaped cakes of good ideas, you can't do wrong by recommanding the game to anyone.

@@omarcomming722 honestly, it playing like a 10 year old game is a positive in my book. It's been too long since there was a game like this that just wanted to be fucking cool. It feels like how Red Dead Revolver feels in my memory. A lot of people tend to look at it with a far too clinical lense. I see it in the same vein as an 80s or 90s action movie. Grizzled tough guys, cool premise, passable story, and gratuitous violence.

@@angeleaterstudios1004 That's fair and I agree generally, but IMO such games require their gameplay and presentation to be perfect because that's literally all there is to them, kind of like Doom 2016 wouldn't have worked if it wasn't so polished. This game has none of that and is just lacking all around for me, it both looks and plays like a 2010 game in all the bad ways, although it's definitely a subjective feeling.

Do not know about coop but this game is super fun single player, straightforward just a fun game, not every game has to reinvent the wheel. We need more like this! honestly this game feels like was always intended as a solo experience and probably devs added coop just because nowadays everything has to have some sort of multiplayer. To anyone looking for a single player, really fun, straightforward experience go get this game. synopsis: You are basically Clint Eastwood kicking vampire butts with an OP gauntlet.

the parasite really isn't too hard you just have to focus on one head at a time, but i do agree the web one was such a nightmare, especially when you drop one of the bosses two web enemies spawn in so the arena is just ALL WEBS the last boss wasn't too bad, a bit frustrating but those last two bosses they had to throw multi phase bosses into it, and they knew they were too hard so they put checkpoints per fight, the flamer and explosives does decimate the flying nest which helped, but i had bugs and issues with the game too.

This looks like something I'm definitely just gonna get because of the combat. Update: The last gen console ports are very shameful. I know its a bad idea to get new games for last gen consoles. But Evil west somehow struggles to run at 30 fps. At version 1.00, the framerate was 20 fps and my monitor kept having a seizure because it kept blacking out. Now that it's updated, the bugs broke the game to the point that I can't progress the story anymore. Shadow Warrior 3 somehow managed to run at 30 to 60 fps, and there are MANY indie titles that can run at 60 fps on ps4 pro. One of them being hellblade senua sacrifice, a game that has incredible visuals, running at 1080p 60fps on a ps4 pro, and is made from Unreal Engine 4, the same engine Evil West uses. I personally liked the combat of evil west, despite some badly designed ranged weapons, but Flying Wild Hog really messed up the technical state of Evil West. How Indie Developers can make their games run at a rock solid 60 fps and not a double A studio like Flying Wild Hog is just mind boggling to me.
