One of the things I love about the healing and sense of momentum in the game is that it's easy to turn a near-failure into a rousing success. I have, many times, been down to my last few hitpoints, fighting desperately to survive, and managed to just squeak by enough to use a power that turned the tide and let me beat the map. That kind of ability to turn around in the fights means that you never feel like you've hit a point from which you can't recover and always know there's a route to victory if you can find it.

In almost no other industry can a product be released not fit for purpose and not be lambasted for it (I would call a game breaking bug as your whole inventory and progress being randomly deleted not fit for purpose). How low our expectations of game releases are these days. While I love your enthusiasm for the innovation this game has shown and the potential this game has, I simply cannot understand how gamers/consumers (yourself included) have come to accept games being released in this state. I will NEVER pay full price for a game that is released in this condition (I for the last 10 years have waited to see just how bad the release of a game is before even considering buy it on sale). I will wait for sales and such games these days do not deserve my hard earned dollars for sub par products. I just got sick of all the lies the gaming industry keeps telling it customers/consumers.

Then play on a tier that will increase challenge tier (you’ll notice it doesn’t have to be the highest available tier) 6. Repeat

Played this game for three days straight, and as someone who’s super into looter shooters like borderlands, I’m honestly getting super into it .

[@DanielSantos-ym8vd]

I don't think a game should be recommended when it gets fixed we need higher standards than that for us PC players they're demanding $60 to play a broken game.

[@lavishcole]

Very well rounded review sir.

[@ztrellitos08]

Wait let me grab a sandwich this is gonna be good

[@EredinLore]

So you comment on my vid about the demo over a month ago saying “XD u are a joke I guess you gonna keep playing destiny good boy good boy”. All because I had the foresight to see that this game was gonna be a mess. Now here you are excited about shillups review where he points out the problems I explained?? Brain dead.

Cheers for the review bub :3 very enjoyable ^^ I'm at expedition 13 with an anomaly devastator build, feel like I'm doing plenty of damage xD currently farming resources on lower tiers to min max this set until I can farm legendaries reliably at a higher drop chance. Had several crashes myself, but not many compared to most - playing with friends seems to have the most issues with folks disconnecting from a group or not getting in. A real shame but I am loving the game myself ^^

[@Herbertti3]

Expeditions absolutely should play same way world tier does.

[@nokturnallex2160]

Sadly the only rewarding end game content is timed, meaning any build that isn't about maximizing DPS is counter-productive. On top of that the newest patch was nothing but nerfs and inventory wipes are more prevalent than they were previously.

That run through the options menu was very TB-esque. Would love to see more of that in all your reviews.

[@SarcasticData]

Thank you for reviewing this! I was really interested in this game and your review was a godsend!

[@architectsxiii5379]

I have less respect for these devs for lying. "No reskinned/recycled content" Half of the story and expeditions are literally recycles of each other. Even with all the issues fixed, this is not a $60 game. $40 at best. Story starts off good, but then the story falls flat, characters fall flat, no sense to anything, dialogue is ass, and the cutscenes are so unfinished/pointless.

@@raresmacovei8382 Cyberpunk only crashed twice in my entire 75 hours play through. The problem wasn't the bugs, it was the entire game, it's poorly designed "RPG" mechanics & shallow world that served as nothing more than a backdrop, a facade

Thanks for the awesome review! I'm about 10-15hrs in on Series X and thankfully haven't had any crashes or game breaking issues... YET! 🤞🤞... Health regeneration just while in cover for pyro in order to regain footing in certain circumstances is a brilliant suggestion btw 👍

[@BrendanCS]

Its worth supporting this game for the developers attitude toward and respect for their players alone.

[@JaJagimpjelterosso]

The game is a technical mess. Real nice that the team seems transparent, but you dont respect players releasing a game in this state.

[@adrianfurlow5498]

i absolutely love seeing the term borked show up

[@Jasta85]

So glad I decided to take a "wait and see approach" with this game. I was actually quite interested in it, I could see the appeal from the demo, but I also want to play a game that works properly , the cyberpunk 2077 ptsd is real.

[@danielyanezgarrido]

Its great already, i wouldnt wait anymore.

[@michaellewis5769]

Bravo! Excellent review. First review I've seen to address how absolutely broken this game is, while also conveying how much fun it can be. This game crashed more for me than any game I've ever played in my entire life. I feel you when you say "60 times is probably being nice." Yet there I am, booting it back up.

[@virus3x2]

First 45 seconds of the video and I'm already fucking dying of laughter

[@TheCloudCreation]

Good review as always. My friend and I just completed the campaign and did the first 2 expeditions before hopping off for the night. I'm assuming they fixed the vast majority of these technical difficulties by now because I only crashed once and we haven't experienced any of the other bugs mentioned. The only problems we had were that I got disconnected on the spider/worm boss at the volcano and end up fighting it alone and if we ever wiped on a mission, sometimes I would respawn invisible and unable to move for about 2 minutes until my character spawned in. My friend doesn't have the best internet though and I always played in his world so it could've been a problem with that. I absolutely love this game though. My friend and I are hardcore Destiny players and no-lifed both Division games but this game easily beats all other looter shooters in gameplay and mechanics. The mods and sound design of the weapons are also SO good with the echoing crack of my sniper in canyons and such. I also have no idea how you beat the campaign at World Tier 8 because my friend and I exclusively did the main missions with non of the side missions and we beat the final boss just before we were about to hit world tier 12. We also had auto max world tier enabled so maybe you played some missions at a lower tier and didn't level it up. But holy crap, this game is DIFFICULT when always playing at max world tier. I played CC/dps with Technomancer while my friend played the fire character and mainly focused on dps and we hit multiple soft walls. It was always a good kind of difficulty though if that makes any sense. It was never the kind of difficult where the game mechanics were screwing us over, it was just the kind of difficult where we had to play smarter and muscle our way through. Take the section where you fight across No Man's Land for example. We hit that section around world tier 6 or 7 if I remember correctly and we just couldn't deal with all the tanky armored enemies pushing us with the snipers on the hill. So I equipped all CC skills, told my friend to dash to the top and take out the snipers while I just kept freezing and stalling the tanky guys. Once my friend took out all the snipers he came up to the tanky guys from behind and we were able to corner them and take them out with relative ease. It was a breathe of fresh air compared to other looter shooters because in something like Destiny, you don't have the option to outflank the enemy or anything, you are just forced into a mindless meat grinder for the vast majority of the time. I absolutely love this game and I haven't even hit max world tier yet and have only gotten 3 exotics so far. I feel like the build customization at true end game will be awesome and I'll be able to fully flesh out my character and make him personal to my playstyle given the massive variety of mods, skill tree selection and weapon varieties.

[@StonedSpagooter]

The game is literally Gears Of Destiny, paying full price for this means one of two things 1 you had money to spare and don't care to waste it 2 you're not the brightest crayon in the tool shed
