The Bloodline! - First Impressions Review! (Early Access)

[@thepigispink1950]

First video for me! Didnt even realise how small of a channel this is cuz of the quality of your content! Well made, hope u keep it up!

[@RANDAMULOL]

your style of channel reminds me of those old rpg online game channel videos back in 2014, a simple lightly edited 20 min video, back then when people actually had minimally decent attention span, man its just pure nostalgia, please we need a renaissance on online personality! abt the game: ngl this game has AMAZING ambition, even though this game is in a bit harsh condition, it is amazing that the creator is active!

[@TheCallOfTheValkyrie]

Your critique on the exploration section was, in my eyes, very imbalanced and unfair because you didn't really try to touch on the sheer amount of variety of locales in the game, and to take so much score off because of a personal preference with how the map's sectioned without stating any reason why it's bad beyond "It breaks my immersion" is extremely heavy-handed, can't say I agree with this approach to discussing a game's worth in that department

[@excalligatorreviews4088]

I did talk about what there is to do in the locales. I listed off several things, infact. And may more than i listed available for people to discover for themselves. But do you honestly think that not having a map that won't shoot you to the start of the locale is good? Or that the zones feel much smaller as you run into an invisible wall? Even then, the overworld map is buggy. The character refuses to cross certain bridges untill i coax him by clicking the very edge of the bridge and walking a step at a time. Also half of the locales are unfinished. The snow biome is barren. The dwarf city siege is barely touched on (not to mention bugged out enemies that shoot you across the map and through terrain) even the large town that is raided by bandits that you need to liberate is unfinished. And many more. I feel my rating for the exploration is fair. Will it change as more stuff is fix and added? Yeah I also said at the end of the video that i love this game and want to see it succeed. It just needs time to be fully realized.

I see that you put a lot of work into this video. I shall sub and like sir.

[@nekusakuraba6265]

This is my first Video of you :) i was uncertain if i should buy the game, so i was looking for review videos, and i found yours. And you video told me exactly what i wanted to know :3 Thank you for that, i will definitly check out your videos in the Future ^.^ Ps: I bought the game. Bugs are...really frustrating, but i´m super sure it will be a gem in a few months :3

[@Brobocop88]

Controller support?

[@pdowski-bz9ty]

It only needs a 1080 GTX, how is it not running smooth for you? What do you have in your setup?

[@excalligatorreviews4088]

a 3050. as I said, it doesnt run smoothly for many, not just me. what it says it requires dont mean it wont have issues as remember, it is a very early access game. Im sure after a few updates it will be much better and optimized.... hopefully.

[@InnerAtmos]

Yeah, it's very janky and it has a lot of work to be done. BUT, I love this game. I love the concept as well, it's very solid and I wish I'd see more games like this. The freedom it gives you with your character is just amazing, and the fighting is fun! I really hope this game grows, and I'm excited to see how it turns out in the future.

Early Excalligator fan! Woot! Remember this comment when you are famous, mr gator.

[@littlespittle9502]

Da broomsick makes all distance meaningless

[@d_ruggs]

map design and traversal to me sound a lot like mount and blade. M&B are fantastic rpg games, but a lot different than morrowind. It's probably way to late into development to change a system as large as this, you'd basically be rebuilding the entire game

[@Oddzombie79]

Looks a lot like Gedonia.

[@excalligatorreviews4088]

I still need to play that. I bought it a long time ago, but havent touched it yet

[@Oddzombie79]

@excalligatorreviews4088 i recommend it. The creator is making a sequel to come out in 2025

[@excalligatorreviews4088]

oh sweet @@Oddzombie79

[@alexanderstefak2496]

thanks alligator man

[@rgmoses2189]

You really skipped over system requirements that easily??? This game has higher minimum requirements THAN CYBERPUNK 2077 WHILE LOOKING WORSE THAN MINECRAFT!??! I saw it because it was on sale but gtx 1080???? What the hell is up with that??

[@excalligatorreviews4088]

1080 is nothing... a mid rig has roughly 2050-3050 card requirements. Very very few new games let you play on a 1080

[@fuxxxie]

its the engine mostly, lots of under the hood stuff going on, a games looks isnt all there is to how much gpu it uses.

[@CassSionnach]

Hey wait a minute! this breaks so many reviewing rules! This isn't a review! it is a really good and well edited video but i would title it something else. like how video game dunkey calls his reviews dunkviews, meaning its his opinion. maybe gatorview? could be workshopped a bit. or you can just call it your first impressions like everyone else does.

[@excalligatorreviews4088]

I guess you didnt look at the title or thumbnail which both say first impressions on it.

[@CassSionnach]

@@excalligatorreviews4088 haha you cant fool me! you changed it! i saw i saw hehehe :D
