Journey to the Savage Planet Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Rent, Never Touch?"

[@TheScottybomber]

ACG has such a great style. Uploads just when general consumers are wondering if the product is any good, but rather than a yes/no scale out of 10, there is a 20 minute video going extremely in depth. This is the KZbin channel to follow if you're keen on any new release. Peace.

[@SmashingSnow]

This sums up the channel well.

[@lehmunaid]

Well written

[@melikes2559]

@Dongs Dumbass It's PC footage in his review. I also beat it on PC and our lan group has PC coop games of it since the moment it came out. 3 Major streamers streamed it coop PC. Some people are having problems but he didn't and a good number of people have not either.

[@ACGreviews]

Nope works fine. Some people got errors with coop I heard, but many have not. As can be referenced and tracked by now thousands of videos from day one until now. Also nope no video embargo stated that. In fact video embargo stated time and that was it. Any other lies you want to be easily called out for?
