[@JEFFKINGS]

It's not often that a AAA game comes out direct to GamePass on release and gets deleted by most players within the same day. Well done, Redfall.

[@fondue4kill]

It being on GamePass is the only thing that probably saved it from total failure

@@fondue4kill Think of the people that actually bought it not having GP liking it.

[@bryanhenne3702]

After beating the game it then becomes Deadfall as far as replay ability goes and has a too high of level cap at 40 which should have been capped at lvl 20!

[@casualgamersky2226]

There was Back4Blood which did nearly the same thing.

[@xVoltsy]

@@KeithFraser82 I low key feel like the smallest few that actually want Anthem 2 but not made by EA I truly think from 2000-2016 were truly the best time as a gamer and all of us took Anthem and many other games for granted thinking this they were the worst, 2023 games are making 2010-2016 games look like elden ring

[@Colouh]

Lol that got me so hard, I mean the game needs to be like real bad to even think to say something like that !

Emotional Damage

[@batmanslarynx]

I literally had no idea it didn't have public matchmaking until I watched this. That's terrible.

[@reginaldcz6332]

Yep. I already saw and heard how bad this game is, but didn't expect that it's this bad.

[@adamloga3788]

Who the hell releases a multi-player focused game without public matchmaking!? That's like releasing a Racing game that only allows you to drive a Ford Pinto!

[@qtindavis433]

not just a oversight. they forgot to check the boxes of what could pass as kind of finished

[@rockero1313]

the saddest thing is that you need to play with others for some achievements

[@rockero1313]

@@adamloga3788 what's wrong with driving a Pinto????

[@Jmacfann]

If you have ever been to a coastal New England town in the off season then you know "what's great is exploring the town itself but its boring to actually do anything in it" So they were spot on in that choice.

[@Nick-zl5xf]

“We have raze at home” best line lol

[@AbbreviatedReviews]

It's insane to me that they've been advertising the co-op structure of this game from the very beginning and couldn't figure out a matchmaking system or even how to allow everyone to progress when playing together.

[@10gannendorf80]

That wasn't honest, that was savage and absolutely deserved🤣

[@ShirotoraGodsbane]

Honesty often is

[@LerRhann]

Umm That is still Honest.

[@reethemaster]

seriously, if they're trying to raise up prices , they can't keep doing this anymore. they want to start charging $70, they need to end strict set release dates or whatever they're called and stop releasing unfinished, buggy games that still need months of patches.

[@SurgStriker]

this wasn't even a set release date. It got pushed back a year from it's original expected release, and Arkane STILL couldn't get it more done than this. Just a total studio failure. And that's even after they had the playstation version cancelled so they had less work to do. Less work, extra year of time, and this is still the best they could do.

[@BuckySeifert]

Say "Shout out to all those Overwatch 2 developers who just had their hard work flushed down the toilet." They deserve some love.

[@michaelknox3715]

Same. I uninstall it for the time being but I'll coming back when the story missions drop. Until then it's Destiny 2 for me.

[@TheTraveler980]

In other words, it's "Overwatch To Be Continued."

[@Gamer3427]

Honestly, it's a pretty big disappointment, since that was the only thing that ever had a chance of bringing me back to Overwatch after the mess that "2" is came into existence. Doubly so since it was the main marketing point for "2" to begin with. And yes, I will always put "2" in quotation marks when talking about it, even more so now, because as is all it is is a F2P update to Overwatch that made a bunch of bad changes.

[@TheGrumbliestPuppy]

@@michaelknox3715 Its never happening, they officially cancelled it. The most people will get are the special holiday co-op missions once every couple years.

[@3Rayfire]

I think the takeaway is not everything needs to be a looter shooter...in fact MOST things shouldn't be looter shooters...or even look like them.

[@Daredhnu]

While I agree with your premise, that's not the most glaring problem with the game, not by a long shot.

[@raidramon0]

Now that Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is out, do an Honest Trailer for that one. Please!

[@TheGrumbliestPuppy]

@@humblegrind8 Calm down, its called hyperbole. Nothing in life at all is perfect, including games, but sometimes we get shockingly close. I'd call ToTK, Outer Wilds, and Subnautica the 3 closest to it in the last decade (for me, personally).

[@SamanthaLaurier]

I feel so bad for Arkane. This.... this is just embarrassing, especially after the amazing game that was Prey six years ago

[@destroyerbreaker7394]

There are two Arkanes responsible for some games each, one works on a game while the other does another...sadly, Redfall is from the Arkane that made Prey, not the Arkane that made the Dishonored games. Both as a whole make Arkane...and now the side that made Redfall is also dragging down the one that made Dishonored and Deathloop despite those guys not being involved as far as i know.

[@sprintstothebathroomdaily2429]

​@@destroyerbreaker7394 deathloop was a bit of a milktoast game. I know critics liked it but they seal clap for anything with a time concept Felt like a few good ideas encased in a vanilla shooter. still miles better than redfall but arkane as a whole kinda missing lately

[@TheGrumbliestPuppy]

@@sprintstothebathroomdaily2429 Yeah, Deathloop seems like they slapped the word "timeloop" on there without actually making you able to have fun with that mechanic. Its basically a linear game where they pretend the day's repeating.

[@SaicomantisJ]

Arkane's downfall started when studio founder and game designer Raphaël Colantonio left due to the marketing dumpster fire that Bethesda forced upon Arkane for Prey.

[@Buridan84]

When you create the trailer for Tears of the Kingdom, you must glue together the user comments in the intro just like Link would do it with his new ability!!!!

[@avikaurelius4992]

It was such a good setting, I just hope someone takes the exact setting and makes a different game from it.

[@NickLupercus]

We need more "modern weaponry vs mythological monsters" games. Hell, I still want someone to make a good game out of Legendary's premise.

[@ChevalierGrenouille]

1:02 I can't believe my gamertag on everygame (even my KZbin tag "The Frog Knight" in french) is on your show ! 🤪 You are making my day 🤘 Riibbit 🐸💚🐸

[@liska_dae]

I played the original Oregon Trail, I had no idea they'd done a remake.

@KeithFraser82 the atomic energy commission are investigating the burn was so intense

[@StarAZ]

Speaking of unfinished releases, anyone else noticed how Japanese studios have been making games so much more polished out of the gate lately? (e.g. Elden Ring, Tears of the Kingdom etc) I see it’s nothing to do with countries. Just specific studios like From. Hope they keep it up

[@SpicySpaceCat00]

They put more care into games

[@Darthalas]

Of hundreds of titles that come out every year. Yes, the bigger studios tend to push out polished games, they have their duds but more often than not they're great. And they are only going to keep getting better, these companies weren't exactly pushing out diamonds during the 80s and '90s and while there were some gems, we are eating much better now than we ever were before

[@wurmsrus2]

Babylon's Fall?

[@LowResLeafa]

​@@SpicySpaceCat00 As someone who mainly play japanese games I can tell you that a good chunk of them are just as garage as western games

[@liamnehren1054]

that was pretty much always the case. It's an issue of bringing things out when they are done and not for specific times of the year like Christmas or summer vacation. Plus pretty sure Nintendo still has a culture of using testers and listening to their feedback. Most companies just first day patch things after the game breaks on the first day!

[@minionx23]

[@orbitwhitegum7]

The Oregon trail joke killed me

[@jasonblalock4429]

Has there been any announcement on whether they're going to try to fix it? I feel like there's the potential for this to become decent, if they were willing to put in at least another year's worth of effort. (Seems unlikely, but otoh, I wasn't expecting Bethesda to put out a pretty big revamp for Ghostwire Tokyo either.)

[@LamiNalchor]

Well, the black sun was actually a Viking and Germanic symbol. So, in itself it is harmless.

As a Playstation owner, I was initially saddened that we won't get anymore Arkane studios games. Now, I'm relieved that we were spared. No hate to other platforms, but these developers clearly lost talent between the franchises.

[@atlas_vash]

As a fellow ps owner I doubt it's the developer losing talent and more so the oversight from xbox probably messing up the development (also the fact they had to make it multiplayer with no in depth ventures into multiplayer games)
