I Was Offered $500 To Review This Game (Citizen Conflict by QORPO)

[@jauwn]

This was the response I received from the devs after they saw this review: "Hi there, We saw your review of our project, and we get that you may not love it, but it's still in the Alpha phase. Just a heads up, our game is built from scratch, not using Unreal Engine Lyra. Our game designers and team have worked on games like Mafia, Arma, and Horizon, so they know their stuff. Quick clarification: before we settled on Citizen Conflict, we had working names like Cybertrade and Crypto Citizens it was a same game just different name, not other games. About our trade race manager game it was a game- it's different. But compare to Web2 You don't lose your assets when the game ends. We let users swap them for new ones, for free. And the trades on market are p2p Before making claims, do some research. Thanks"

[@TranshumanMarissa]

Amazing. Truly. I suspect they might be dissapointed in your review.. Speaking of doing research, I wonder how much research they did on you before asking you to review their product!

I feel like games like these are in a perpetual state of "early days", at least whenever defenders or devs are trying to defend these projects from criticism. Also hilarious of them to tell you to do your research when they contacted you given the content you make.

People who invested in these obvious grift schemes are really pathetic. Is a functioning brain really not enough to see this or are every NFT bros just that delusional.

It would seem that many "crypto content creators" did take the offer, as I saw a bunch of people praising the game on Twitter. Not sure how many of them even played the game though, since they all seem to have copy-pasted the same "review" and showed no gameplay footage of their own

Fun Fact: at 6:50, he says that the character Smiler is the only one with a unique design. The reason why that is the only character to have a unique design in this game is because he is just a copy of the character Gl1tch from Rogue Company down to the hoodie and the jacket and the gloves and the mask and basically everything as well as the smile.

[@dymaxion3988]

I swear, the entire crypto/NFT space is built by people who love cyberpunk as a genre, but unironically think it’s a great future to live up to. I can’t even say they only see the genre at surface level, because a big part of the cyberpunk aesthetic is being very in-your-face and unambiguous when depicting how bad life is in these settings. Like, the word “metaverse” comes from Snow Crash, which is a book about life in a horrifying libertarian dystopia. Metaverse bros love comparing the end goals of their projects to Ready Player One, which I actually think is a bit too simplistic and heavy-handed with the whole “corporations bad” message.

[@Maryeet]

The intro clip for the lootboxes made me laugh so hard. The cutscene lagging into the guy getting pissed and yelling "fuck!! shit!!" has to be the funniest thing ever, it perfectly encapsulates the entire nft game experience.

The shitty attempt at being "edgy" and "cool" by swearing and using "hip" and "modern" words is what really sells it to me. One thing is the swearing, but the "You might be able to SNAG some KILLER stuff" and "Savage!" etc. just remind me of those typical middle age Indian scammers that try to sound like a young American, and it just makes me laugh so fucking much. It doesn't fit in at all. I don't know how you are supposed to take a game that use "and if it aint your vibe" unironically, but you would think they had at least one youthful person on the team that would be able to tell them that what they are making is beyond lame! Hell, Im not even that young anymore, so I can't imagine just how much the younger generation is finding this sort of obvious attempt at pandering off putting, but it just makes no sense to me that they actually think this would, in any way shape or form, actually be seen as cool by people that aren't way past 55 and are going through a midlife crisis...

The intro cinematic to Citizen Conflict is quite something. No showcase of gameplay, no presentation of the setting the game takes place in, no establishing of the charcters. It's just 100% talk about how awsome lootboxes are and how you should totally spend money on them. Crazy to think that in a time when most games try to hide/disguise their microtransaction behind artificial in-game currency or layers of in-game shops, these guys thought it would be a great idea to make their entire advertisement about it.

When will games realise you can't really buy yourself into becoming a esport? You need a good, well balanced game for that. Rather than throw money into these rewards they should invest it into developing the game and especially testing it to the valve testing standards.

[@raghugba863]

I'm gonna add something to your comment. You don't need a good well balanced game. That helps, but what you need is a game people enjoy playing competitively. There's some massive esports that could be considered broken messes, yet because people want to play them, they make rules to make them more balanced just because of how much they wanna play and have fun.

They call them "Non-core gameplay ads" supposedly - some years ago a journalist actually interviewed the guys in asia that make the fake mobile game ads, it is an extremely cursed. Literally this week i keep getting youtube ads for "hero wars" and one has a drowning dog being tortured, it truly is a strange and fascinating industry.

I missed this on my first watch of the video, and I doubt this was intentional, because theyre mixed in with more "normal" nordic pagan tattoos, but the charactet Thunder has some tattoos that are pretty commonly associated with white supremacists nowadays.....

[@screenshot8388]

I'm pretty sure the announcer voice is that text to speech voice like 85% of tiktok videos use lol

[@Bobothefish13]

These finance goons look down so much on games and artistic endeavors in general. I imagine that the suits at the top of these crypto companies see their shovelware as indistinguishable from legitimate efforts. Watching this shortly after Hbomberguy’s epic length plagiarism video kind of makes me see some similarities in these ripoff crypto grifts

[@LawdyLawdy]

Im 85% sure that that "voice actor" was the ai tik tok voice.

[@the_real_breeso]

I shoulda known my Slovak brethren would hop on the cryptotrash scamming shit sooner or later. We tend to copy the worst things that originate from the US lol

[@YakumoShinito]

yesss, more deep dives into shitty nft games

[@NocturnalTyphlosion]

any time a class-based shooter doesnt even bother making character designs look distinct at all it just makes me think about how much attention was put into the tf2 mercs' silhouettes

[@NocturnalTyphlosion]

ive seen splatoon inklings more distinct than these characters

[@MeagerExistance]

The Scoreboard and UI is also directly ripped from The Finals.

[@historichistory9992]

My primary interest in the channel is the deep dive into crypto games- you are literally the only channel actually trying to show gameplay

[@Mousetrap1740]

I think the best, simplest review you can give this game is; its not being sold in countries that regulate crypto. Something something nothing to hide, nothing to fear.

[@MrCatTheII]

12:23 Did they really used tiktok text to speech as an announcer?!?

[@WardenPhi]

“I mine as well do a video reviewing the Lyra template itself” I mean… I’d watch it

[@axmaxko]

Yes will be great with real proofs, because 90% Web 3 games builds with Lyra assets but there are some games which build it from scratch not using Lyra assets, but if you dont have proofs that Citizen is build with lyra its not good that share this statements :) Cant wait for it let me know will be pleasure to check all your stuff about it

[@lucas50013]

Negativity bias may make your NFT deep dives more popular, but having watched your Diggles video until the end, a game I had no interest in or knowledge of before then, I think you have something special that would be a shame if it was only ever used on these shovelware games. All that's missing is something to distinguish yourself from other obscure game reviewers like Maldaloregaming or Ssethtzentch.

16:00 If they can just revoke tokens you hold on a whim, doesn't that make them a centrally controlling authority, thereby defeating the entire point of a blockchain (that being to decentralize things)?

[@jauwn]

Yeah

[@TheKlp3]

Love these deep dives! They are fantastic. I'm a gamedev and it's just funny to see deeper into all these crypto "Games" people said was gonna change the entire industry a few years ago haha. Love every video and hope to see more!

[@Eleechee]

I like how the “good voice acting” was probably just the TikTok reader voice lol

[@Ashryd]

Absolutely keep the crypto game deepdives coming, I was genuinely sad to find out you weren't a decades old KZbin channel with days of content to binge when I started watching. Let's make that a reality!

[@jauwn]

Eh, I got a few hours worth at least! But thanks and glad you enjoyed!

[@om3g4z3r0]

I loved the new intro, really made me laugh, should have taken their money and made the most sarcastic video ever made.

[@ViaConDias]

So it finally happened. Jauwn has actually turned into Crypto Games best option to get exposure. Really taking the "Bad publicity is better than no publicity" to the extreme. I'm loving it

[@velporas]

NFTs does not work in a game development's standpoint unless you're planning to scam and launder money if that is your goal to create that game.

[@Wolf-dx1cl]

I love your intro cards so much. Super good vibe

[@jauwn]

Glad you like them!

[@e-jesus7401]

they totally stole the cyberpunk trauma team design for one of their characters (the dude with the red plus on his face)

[@pbyn153]

I actually love your NFT deep dives but also your deep dive on obscure old games. Just do what you do Jauwn

[@Sorrelhas]

Why do these games run so poorly? Aren't they essentially just the stock Unreal Engine with the assets plopped in, kinda like Mugen back in the day?

[@cinnamonrolls4life677]

I genuinely love all your intros! I can't think of how they wanted this to turn out 🤭

[@Weretyu7777]

A company named Corpo...making a game with a cyberpunk aesthetic... Do these guys really have THAT little awareness?

[@peaberry9413]

Crazy new intro, Jauwn. Your craft only gets better with every upload. Love the videos!

[@JinseiKuro]

At least they have a quite nice-looking NFT in their lootboxes. It would be a shame if someone stole it. >:) *right click and save as*

[@jauwn]

Waste of hard drive space

[@rzdakira]

As much as I enjoy these teardown and expsing of cryptogames, I also immensely enjoy your retrogames retrospectives. Especially of those obscure gems or really janky ones. Sometimes it is easy to dismiss those games back in the day because of all the games surrounding it but when we look back on them, they were not as terrible as we first thought. Your videos really did well on highlighting them. Admittedly, the only positive I can give to these cryptogames is the fact that they lead me to discover you this gem of a channel. But if I was in a knifepoint and forced to choose, I would watch your retrospective series in a heartbeat.

[@mstaehely]

They seriously just cribbed the OCP logo for their game... these companies just cannot resist the urge to tell on themselves, every single time.

[@BuraG]

[@lucasLSD]

It's so funny that even within their little nft niche, no games use itens from each other. But then epic releases rocket racing inside fortnite where you can use all your rocket league cosmetics! No nft needed!

[@GiggsVids]

Now this is.. A top quality review, if I don't say so myself

[@planescaped]

I like how after he said 500$ they said sure but then were super slippery and evasive about contracts or what he needs to do to get paid. Real on brand for cryptotrash.

[@jauwn]

@@planescaped In their defense they did say they would pay me upfront - but I had turned it down already

[@Csp499]

Not only did they try to make a Cyberpunk 2077 clone, they literally have a ripped model of a Shingen smart-SMG in their little opening ad.

[@erindonovan7423]

Hey, that's not even mentioning the cyber Viking having a handful of prominent tattoos of symbols co-opted by the far right, which is definitely enough to earn a side-eye. You know. In case there wasn't enough reason to side-eye this project.

[@joshi2342]

Am I stupid or is the announcer voice literally the TikTok ai voice?

[@KajuTheRudeMonke]

It is

[@ceres_o7]

Found your channel a couple weeks ago. Your content is all really good, crypto deep dive or otherwise. You're good at letting the game speak for itself, great balance of observational commentary, dry humour and sarcasm with actually just, letting whatever game you're discussing showcase its own nonsense and drag itself down without you needing to just rip into it for half an hour. Its worked really well not just for crypto games, but also janky bad old games or even janky good beloved ones like your Driver video. Its a good style and you're good at it with all your videos imo.

[@andrzejsugier]

I bet the UFO model was sold on turbosquid or another model marketplace, and not made to order for the music video.

[@puppynow]

500???

[@jauwn]

that's actually a horrible price for a KZbinr of my size. World Of Tanks offered me $2000

[@puppynow]

a company should offer you 10k to play their game @@jauwn
