Riders Republic Review | Welcome to the Idiot Factory

Riders Republic is a special kind of stupid. Its like a tatty shop at a mountain top tourist destination: Everything around it is cheapened by its presence. If you like your games to arrive with Day 1 microtransactions and a Road Map, and you don't mind waiting for a year for all the content to arrive, then THIS game is going to be perfect for you. In fact, its the game you deserve.
Special thanks to Mario J. Martinez, Archangel, Theron, Michael Pearce, Jason T Barnes, Dean McGee, Steve, Alcoholistair, RageDMX47, Hector Salamanca, Corvo Fox-Gray, FatCat1, Anna Lovatt, ATR-42 and all of my Patreon supporters. Their stoic support humbles me.

"The gameplay is optional. The marketplace store is mandatory." - Ubisoft, when describing their priorities in designing their video games.

[@americanpatriot3344]

I concur sir.

[@Sly_404]

“Body Type A”, “Body Type B”, so stunning and brave!

Impossible to make a game nowadays without including a green skinned girl with a beard on, lol

The words "male" and "female" are now censored I guess. What is wrong with these people?

[@jimjohnson6944]

@@ZANGOJOE I dunno bro but it's sickening.

[@frustratedsquirrel]

@@GermoDante does not having the option to make muties in the character creator somehow make a game better though? It's not like you personally need to make a colour vomit character, but this sort of thing is great for people who want to make ugly characters on purpose. Eg: I want to roleplay a freakin' goblin in dark souls or something with a trashcan shield and a club, and do a trash goblin playthrough for a stream. There's nothing wrong with character creators giving players all sorts of options.

[@DingbatToast]

the text to speech is on by default as they assume if you've bought the game you probably can't read

[@ugtznun]

Text to Speech is on by default so that, Ubisoft can make money on children (that can't read) via the in game shop.

[@deathpyre42]

To be fair, Ubisoft hires a diverse array of employees from all sorts of backgrounds and countries, so the cliff snowmobiles aren't a physics bug, they're just an authentic representation of the cosmic netherplane the intern who coded this hails from. (Also if British tourists show up to Florida and say they want to experience nature, the locals will just assume they want to buy meth from an alligator and just refer them to the nearest Walmart parking lot instead.)

[@overlordzetta7410]

You could just make a Video with: "It's a Ubisoft Game, what do you expect?" and it would sum up everything.

[@RC51John]

Thanks for another great video. It's sad that the Store is 100% but the game is not. These companies would have thrown a store front on Pong.

[@DrakeHunter324]

That's been a thing since two console generations ago. Game may be as broken as humanly possible, but the store will always work flawlessly.

[@ratboi535]

Being able to patch and fix stuff so easily these days is a double edge sword, why release a game that work straight away when you can just release a broken game earlier and cutting on cost while promising to maybe fix it in the future

[@Dubious_Dubs]

I must be missing something. I can buy about 10 items on the shop with ingame money? Is, is that normal?

[@blindovermatter3054]

As a guy who occasionally plays video games and is blind, who uses text to speech, that was hilarious! Well played :-) and FYI, that’s exactly what happens in every menu. Just kidding, honestly I’m glad the feature is there, so many games don’t even include that kind of stuff, but why should it be on by default? I think you should be able to select whether to turn it on, I think that would be the ideal way of doing it, that way if I need it to be on in order to select to keep it on, it’s there, but if you don’t need it, you can turn it off and not have the annoyance. That was very rambly, sorry

[@sunnyjim1355]

1. I DO NOT buy into games that offer any kind of micro transactions. 2. I was actually interested in this game, until I found out it was another, Micro transaction game. Kids will love it, spending mommy and daddies cash... but me, narr. When I started out on my gaming fixation back in the ahem.... well, back in't day let's say. On the good old C64, Amiga and beyond. You payed you hard earnt cash for the latest games (Manic miner, Monty Mole, Jet Pack Willy, Secret Of Monkey Island, (moving on) Quake, Doom... the list is endless). No Micro Transactions/Loot boxes/Half finished shite... Just a bloody good game that worked!

I remember reviewers calling this "bringing back the fun into gaming". And ironically going silent until I stumbled upon this video

[@kucicek6313]

I think this is most fun game ubisoft made in few last years..it is mentt play on controller, and if you give it time to learn basic movements it is really enjoeble (from the video i can assume you didnt even give it time to learn any trick but only one) ,. You just turn it on and choose whatever sport you want and enjoy the ride how ever you want. The micro trancactions are really annoing but not pay to win. If you dont like sports games thats a kinda very big red flag and indication that maybe you shouldnt buy a game thats all about sports. Yeah ubisoft doing really shady stuff with they policy not allow refunds, but the info about controller is in the epic store description, maybe you did unfortunetlly miss it... All spotrs game are ment to play with the controller, thats kinda well known fact.. I like the arcade playing style so you can do crazy combos in the air and have fun with it. Anywho, we dont have to have same opinion , to find myself enjoy your content. :) Its kinda your style to just s**t on games so.. xD

The games locations are fucking top notch and seamless for transition of biomes. The open world imo is very fitting and honestly its a nice game to just relax with. Sure the narrative and dialogue could warrant a firing squad to the person who thought these would be good implementations but I really am having a lot of fun with this and hope people dont pass this game up if they are at all interested in extreme sports games!
