Should You Play Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

[@midoribushi5331]

I am not typically a 100% guy when gaming,but holy shite, this game was freaking amazing. Troy Baker killed it as Indy's voice. I grew up in the 80's and 90's and the INdy movies were my childhood.

[@MatanZlatan]

i grew up in 2000s and it was still my childhood

[@nathanpoertner]

Yeah the voice acting is amazing and honestly almost nothing in the game feels tedious or like you're not having fun doing something because it's all so engaging and you just want more. They really nailed this game and indiana jones in general. The last time I felt like this with a game was hogwarts legacy and this is even a little better than that.

[@RalfPinkaire-f7w]

Oh God. Another one parroting "Troy Baker". And had never heard of him before. ;)

[@MatanZlatan]

@@RalfPinkaire-f7w as if you have lol

[@vukodlak5]

This game made me remember how I hoped future games would be like when I was a kid. A chance to *embody* a compelling character, go to cool locations, solve vast mysterious puzzles. It's not a perfect game, but it adds up to WAY more than the sum of its parts, and those parts were mostly excellent to start with.

[@AAngusboro]

Couldn't agree more. I got game pass back just to give this a go. And I'm not disappointed. It is indeed the best Indiana film for a long time. And holy shit the Indiana voice actor is on point. Even all the motion capture stuff is on point.

Indiana Jones and the Redemption of the Franchise After Two Bad Films

[@MatanZlatan]

last one wasn't too bad, people just expected too much from a 80+ year old actor, ofc its not gonna be same as young indy

[@purefoldnz3070]

@@MatanZlatan "last one wasn't too bad, people just expected too much from a 80+ year old actor, ofc its not gonna be same as young indy" then dont make an action movie with an 80 year old star! Its not rocket science now is it?

[@MatanZlatan]

@@purefoldnz3070 why not? thats like saying old indiana jones movies were bad becuse they featured his dad an old man who definitely wasn't a brawling machine but he made his uses as part of the film and films overall were good, this isn't Rambo or Terminator you don't need characters to be able to beat everything every two seconds for it to be good, there are other charms to indiana jones and last one did good job portraying that side of him.

[@purefoldnz3070]

@@MatanZlatan "why not?" - What do you mean why not? You can't have an 80 year old action star, especially in a series where Harrison was known for doing his own stunts in camera. It seems you dont understand the Indiana Jones series at all. I mean for f**k sakes the tagline for Indiana Jones is "If Adventure has a name its Indiana Jones." The only adventure an 80 year old is going to get is a trip to the doctor to get a new hip.

[@MatanZlatan]

@@purefoldnz3070 you're missing the point, again, i explained why not and yes you can as it worked before with indys dad, these aren't movies about boxing super stars they're movies about treasure hunters, you seem to not understand what type of movie these are, type of movies that focus more on mysteries and uncovering them than everyone being a fit 20 yo that can brawl mountains, indy being old wasn't a problem as long as he served his purpose in being indy whos still interested in uncovering various mysteries and get himself in trouble for it.

[@Seisachtheia]

Huh little Mortismal shoutout at the beginning there, nice.

[@igorsvabik1121]

Cohh, you just described at the end was Peter Jackson's King Kong the Official Game of the Movie. It was made by Ubisoft's Montpelier Michel Ancel team and since Peter Jackson was supposedly big Rayman fan, they had access to all the movie assets bofore it was released, so the game is basicaly movie retold, mostly by what could be happening in between scenes of the movie. The game is AWESOME.

[@Erthrock]

Timing is something I’ve also been emphasizing. Even during gameplay it’s really well done for the voice lines. It’s an experience that we may never see again. And it deserves a 10/10. This whole game just deserves it as it truthfully sets the bar for what games should be right now and we shouldn’t settle for less. Also I agree with the dogs lol, I’ve never been able to parry them so I always throw bottles at them.

[@Tsukaani]

I'm going to be honest. I did a double take on the thumbnail because I thought it was Peter Dinklage.

[@SkyGuy133]

I got this game for Christmas and loved it. I mean everything in the game is so well put together and entertaining except for maybe so flaws in the combat. Also for the dogs I'm pretty sure you don't have to whip them directly you just have to whip so they hear the crack and they will calm down.

[@Illphaqup]

Now you just made me want to play this again. I only got like 1/8th of the way. Now for a full playthrough!

[@gemaferro]

I purchased an Xbox Series S specifically for this game. As a casual gamer, my experience exceeded all my expectations. This game is incredibly fun, and the characters and atmosphere show that a lot of effort went into its design. The Great Circle is the best Indiana Jones story since The Last Crusade.

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

I guess it's much better having lukewarm expectations like most of us seemed to have about this game and then be blown away by how much love was poured into it and how much fun it is to play and watch, than expecting the next Witcher 3 or Baldur's Gate 3 and being utterly dissappointed.

[@Tb0n33999]

Just 100% it. Had fun, very much a movie that is a game. Troy makes a fantastic Jones. Would play a sequel if it happens. Last levels are still Buggy and kinda light compared to the beginning and middle.

[@MichaelAndersen_DK]

I had a ton of fun playing this. Machine Games really understands what Indy is all about.

[@addidaswguy]

"That is not something you can say about most games" ESPECIALLY about Xbox games, as an Xbox fan since the first year, It's been quite awhile since we've had anything even close to this level. I REALLY hope we are back to a place where its the rule, not a rare exception.

[@jasonarnold1990]

So glad this game is getting it's props. It's an amazing game.

[@JoeBauers]

Hell yes… 🎉 I was not feeling the trailer, but the game surprised me. Even better if you have any love for Indiana Jones and his story. Writing, graphics, voice acting- and I found the stealth and combat pretty fun.

[@Danziman78]

I'm in my mid 40's , and fucking love this game . And yeah this does feel like a playable movie. I feel like Indi and how he would make his way from scene to scene. So immersive.

[@Privater_Petrie]

love those vids. Thank you

[@JudgeMental1337]

watched cohh stream It, I wait for a bit for the price to come down but it looked like a lot of fun I DIDN´T expect that from an "indie" game! You see what I did there? Great indie is back in the Game!

[@mcbosch]

I'm not going to watch this video but thank you for promoting this nostalgic masterpiece of a game. I hope more people take the chance and get to enjoy it.

[@irgendwasmitxy]

[@robertrose9307]

My mind immediately went to Asura's Wrath when I first saw the kind of game it is. It just feels like a game with a similar premise but only doing a much better job with it.

[@Hexanon99]

Its well worth the time playing it - awesome experience.

[@malguskerensky]

Another example of what happens when Devs are left alone to make a game they want to play; without all the monetization mechanics, forced DEI, or stripping player agency away. Let us hope this becomes closer to norm than the oddity that it really is in the modern gaming ecosystem.

[@lordcrispen]

Content creators affecting the popular opinion commentary: I wonder if everyone seeing Dunkey's video before anyone else really came out with an opinion made everyone kinda shy away from this game. (hilarious vid but I admit it made me assume the game was pretty meh). Thanks for sharing this Cohh. I really appreciate your takes on these things especially lately.

[@ryanpay3235]

Should you play Indiana Jones and the Great Circle? Yes. Saved you 10 minutes.

[@SarahGreyWolf]

I think it's very important to point out, incase people go buy it off this review, that if you do not have a ray tracing compatible graphics card, you absolutely cannot even launch the game. Even if you have a GPU that is able to play modern games at 1440p, if it can't do ray tracing the game errors out on launch.

[@steffen89able]

Making it a first person game is dropping the ball.

[@Trinature01]

2:59 that cut didnt make sense? Cohh talking about the great story and then we see something that has nothing to do with story?

[@kevbrix9686]

YES

[@mascot4950]

From pretty much everything I've heard of this game, I just want them to make a movie of it so I can watch that. It sounds like it would be pretty good. But, I prefer games to be games and movies to be movies. I'm so tired of "playing" games that really just want to be movies. It's been a trend for a long time now, to the point where there are games there's no point even starting if I only have half an hour to game in, because I might not get to actually play any game at all in that time. If I could free a genie from a bottle my wish would be for games to tell stories through gameplay rather than cutscenes. Nothing against people who love this kind of storytelling, it just is really far from what I would prefer the medium to be. Thanks the gods for indie games. If it weren't for them, playing games might have been a thing I remember enjoying, rather than still being able to enjoy more than four decades in.

[@joel5956]

It looks like something that I'd be more interested in watching than playing. But, hey, I get it. It's a movie franchise and that's the surest way to make it feel like the game is part of that.

[@4K_HDR_GAMING]

this game is not for everyone in terms if you want to see the full glory of graphics. anyone with less than 16GB of VRAM can say goodbye to that. i was able to enable RT fully only in Marshall collage and for the first time in my gaming life I saw a proper implementation of RT full screen reflections. no other game has that level of detail , contrast and clarity imo. for the game it self I think its "woke" free (not 100% sure as I'm yet to finish it) and seems to have a good story as well. voice acting also are on the spot so we all can very easily related to the game in one way or the other. I guess I have to get a new card like say 5070 Ti in order to properly enjoy this game.

[@addidaswguy]

Do they have the female character bash Indie and look to be smarter or better than him? That was my fear for this in the modern era, they ALWAYS do that crap with legacy Male characters.. Including him, in the last movie ugh

[@xesf]

I have not played the previous Machinegames games or any recent FPS (not my type of game) and I was surprisingly impressed by the gameplay and inovation they did with this one. Overall it is a good game, story, gameplay, time to play, collectibles, acting/voice, music, sound effects and ambience are good. I've played in Xbox and graphically I cannot say is the best. There's still too many popping and tesselation happening either slow or fast paced you can see it; visually the cutscenes, except while on the rain, they look flat/ok, lacking some detail that other 10 year older games do better in real-time cutscenes. Another problem I had was the constant frame droping during cutscenes, pretty sure it went around 20 in a lot of them, at least during gameplay it ran good. I'd say its a 8/10.

[@joshsk2005]

Are you playing this on a Series S? Because that is a ridiculous take... It looks amazing on the Series X. Horizon Forbidden West may be the only other console game out there that currently trumps these graphics

[@cavalaxis]

I do not come to this channel to watch Penguinz0, so it's really weird to click on a video of Cohh and see this dude.

[@Greybeard101]

What makes a game? For me, it's"gameplay", which I define as making decisions and taking actions towards an objective. Cutscenes are the antithesis of gameplay. I do not want to be grudgingly allowed to intermittently illustrate the story. I enjoy a story but let it be told through gameplay. For instance Half-Life 2, Bioshock, Prey (2017) and even Borderlands 2. The indie retro shooter DUSK (2018) tells its story through gameplay better than most modern "AAA" action games. It's the actions the player takes that truly immerses them in the game, not seeing their avatar in a cutscene over which they have no control. I think I would enjoy The Great Circle - the Movie. I'm happy for anyone who enjoys this telling of the story. But there comes a point when it stops being a game and becomes a new form of entertainment. An initeractive cartoon, perhaps? An advanced Telltale "game"? Game reviewers and pundits are having to compare apples and oranges as if they were the same fruit, which doesn't help us punters.

[@niklasnilsson7380]

Hmm not a good game but hm

[@nathandrake9737]

Im really suprised how many people don't talk about the numerous bugs in this game.

[@ferenc-x7p]

To be honest, I wasn't blown away by the game as a game, but "I wanted to see a new Indiana Jones movie" that didn't' suck. And this was fun and interesting! And since we have someone with identical voice as Harrison Ford, can we get more Indiana Jones movie....kkhmmm ...I mean more "games" like this?

Already played it. Fun gameplay. Great exploration. Not fun on mouse and keyboard, better with controller. Uninteresting story. Made me wish there were more puzzles and less action. Note that if you play on easy exploration you are doing yourself a disservice because easy does not give you more hints rather it reduces the scope of the puzzle itself making a different smaller puzzle.

Indiana Jones is a dinosaur. The last great movie was in 1989. Let the character rest as an icon. I don't want to read/watch/play anything to do with the character made by people in the modern day who don't know how to represent heroes.

[@ryamundo42]

I can definitely understand the sentiment of your first three sentences. Indiana Jones is part of a bygone era that I imagine many fans would be perfectly happy leaving in the past. It doesn't need to be franchised and it certainly didn't need its more recent string of awkward sequels trampling its legacy. But is there really a problem when someone manages to contribute to that legacy in a way that is genuinely authentic, competent, and meaningful? Because it kinda sounds like that's what this game is.

[@Treksh]

This game lives up to the history of Indiana Jones. The IP controller of Indiana Jones strictly controls what comes out and who gets to make it. At least until the current IP holder dies we wont get bad stuff that ruins it. In fact the current IP holder is holding up a movie right now.
