The Culling Review (Early Access) - Worthabuy?

[@DeclanCrane]

I always take your reviews into consideration. You're always 80-90% right, the only 10% is basically opinion when it comes down to it. I love your videos, keep it up dude!

[@RileyBanksWho]

Hey Mack, i usually don't comment on video's but you might want to read this; First of all i really appreciate what you do here on KZbin, i like the way you tackle the most annoying problems that others tend to ignore because they ''love'' a certain game, pointing out the pros rather to take an honest look at the cons. You on the other hand inform us wether the pros and cons are worth the money but also *why* that is, and i like that. I don't like to waste 60,- on a game that ends up on a dusty shelf so prior to purchasing a game, me and many others are open to hearing your opinion, 95% of the times i find that you call out exactly that which annoys me the most once i get into said game. The people in the comment section that bash you for YOUR OPINION are simply retarted, peasant/ puppets that use up 50% of their parents electricity bill and ignore their real life friends -if they have any-. You guys need to understand that his videos and or reviews are HIS OPINION and no matter how many dumb comment you guys leave, it will not change that. What mack is doing here is focussing on the majority of SERIOUS gamers that like get worth for their money and letting people know beforehand what they are getting into before spending good money on something that might be a big FLOP. Mack doesn't get brainwashed by the same old recycled ''lets milk this out as long as we can'' nonsense that games devs have been giving us for the past 15-ish years. If you dislike his content, there's a little button on the upper left corner of your screen to back out and browse millions of other videos that are out there on YT. Tldr; Mack, my dude, dont even spend time on replying to these jackasses that get 8 thumbsup from their 12 y.o picklesucking fellow-brainwashed using-mommys-bandwith minions. Every now and then i like to scroll over the comments to see what the haters have to say and it is my opinion that you respond wayy too much to these suckers.. let them hate and keep doing your thing.

[@WorthABuyreviews]

+Yarnell Riley What a nice post that was, thanks a lot

[@grantpalmer5992]

Once again, my wallet thanks you Mack

[@brunolapa3386]

I bought this game the day it came out and already have 20 hours into it. I haven't seen the review yet but from me it deserves a buy. Where I live its only 25 bucks and its really fun. Edit: after watching it I would like to say some things. I play from Brasil so I will always have 150+ ping and have to deal with shitty lag, so I need way to get around that. You got smokes, blowguns, tazers, pepper spray, spears and bows (even dynamite and granades!) to deal damage without getting hit. I agree the combat itself is kinda shitty but you can make strategies. For example, each weapon does max damage of 16-26 (sledgehammer does 30) so you will have some time to react getting hit. Blocking forever will only get you killed if you are playing against someone who knows their shit, its a simple push-attack strategy. Spamming attack will also get you killed since one block stuns you and the enemy will have a clean shot and rape your face. You need not to rely on the combat system but on your gadgets, like smoke bombs and blowguns which can be EASILY crafted at the beggining of the game and can incapacitate someone while YOU are the one raping their face. Although people may say this is a skill-based game I think its around 60% skill and 30% actually planning out what you are doing. Preparing for a fight with bandages, throwing weapons and a good damage outcome will surely grant you victory, except when you get outplayed by someone else who also planned ahead. If you read until here thanks and I would recommend buying. (BTW They added EU servers last patch so Mack doesnt need to lag anymore :D)

[@PhoebusDanos]

Damn son

[@brunolapa3386]

Sometimes just because Mack says it doesn't deserve a buy doesn't mean the game is not good. It will improve and once its a complete product im sure that I will put 100+ on it

[@TheRixtah1]

+Bruno Lapa I do appreciate that you disagreed with Mack's review rationally. If you like the game that's fine, we all have our preferences.

[@kingbradley6000]

ahhh chivalry, best 2 bucks i ever spent

[@Whyamibzsdmh]

It looks like another trashy unity survival game

[@detectivelizard9532]

I thought the same thing when I saw it.

[@Howtomakeindiegames]

+Whyamibzsdmhalt1 Its not made with unity !

[@ThomasZiano]

+David Morris But it LOOKS LIKE ONE grahrgharg ;)

[@muatazsalam6429]

it's unreal engine

[@jarjam2874]

+Whyamibzsdmhalt1 It is made with UE4. Clearly the person who made this review and his viewers are idiots...

[@Xelights]

On paper it does sound amazing, But if the crafting and combat are bad then it doesn't matter what's left.

[@jesperhausted6037]

+Xelights atcually. its really funny. ive played 20 hours so far. and its really entertaining when you learn the fighting mechanics, its not just swinging at the opponant.

[@Xelights]

jesper hausted Rock-paper-scissors style combat is something many people like. And I wouldn't say that it's not for me, since something like Dark Souls has it too to some extend. But this combat kinda reminds me of elder scrolls combat but without all the fun stuff.

[@blaimthebankers]

Glad to made this video so quick, I was on the fence. saved me 15 bucks. THX Mack

[@ronin9804]

The crashing is due to the latest Nvidia drives.

[@jwilsyo]

+Rex Zer0 the latest ones were removed due to the issues they were causing. However, the issues aren't game specific nor do they have anything to do with this game crashing. They are more specific to completely fucking up your Windows registry or unable to boot back into Windows.

[@alexlaw2794]

Will you do a nfs 2015 pc review?

[@jordanh6439]

is it worth a back rub?

[@justinnyugen7015]

+Grey Mountain A back rub without a happy ending isn't worth much

[@BattleWookie2012]

Hey Mack, I was just wondering if you are making a wab on the division?

[@WorthABuyreviews]

+BattleWookie2012 No I already previewed it and hated the whole gameplay mechanics so I fail to see a reason to review the game, I chose to do Hitman instead.

[@greedypoor4462]

Hey Mack are you gonna do a WaB for the HTC Vive virtual reality contraption?

[@Leroyteam]

Gordon Ramsay of videogame reviews?

[@Fiddlestickz1]

Man can't get enough of your accent, nice video as always! That plot twist really got me..

[@mysticmaniac2631]

I was thinking about getting this game and checked out your channel yesterday since I know you normally do alpha games. It wasn't there but here it is today :) thanks Mack! I have been trying to find an actual review on the game. Surprisingly, not many are there. Every other review "It's fun, but buggy." (just described 100 games on steam)

[@wittepinda]

+Worth A Buy Is Dark Souls 3 and Overwatch worth a buy?

[@stubbyfoamz1]

overwatch is opening beta soon mg suggestion would be download it play for the time it's free and see what you think from there. me and my mates are gonna do this. jump on battle net and suss it out =)

[@ReLLaKaT316]

he did overwatch and thumbed it down

[@WorthABuyreviews]

+GreenRingGaming I have not even played it yet but I will be soon.

[@ReLLaKaT316]

+Worth A Buy shit I meant fire watch my bad guys

[@RomanowRomanow1]

hows the droprate in this? can u get the money back by selling steam market items? its the only reason why I would consider paying more then 0,2 $ for this

[@garettsmith8370]

I absolutely love all of your reviews! I find myself watching them just to hear your opinions and the bell dings. You have a great system for reviewing games. Keep up the great work man. One of my favorite game reviewers.

[@aestheticsalex]

lol you found orange juice in a fridge and you just left it

[@Pinstripe0451]

I love your review style. Keep it up!

[@Acesopro]

Your reviews are normally spot on but I just bought this game on Friday and spent many many many hours playing it this weekend. It takes awhile to get used to but once you have an idea where the buildings are, basic crafting recipes, and how to combat system works, it's a blast.

[@markostamenkovic8350]

I would like a game about hunger games concet that is more tactical, deliberate and slower, more of a strategy game than a game about reflexes. I would still like that in an real time combat system, though.

[@kevinwilson455]

That knife fight was.....intense...

[@lyam3317]

crashes don't occur anymore and they now have European servers! :)

[@6mrmeeker6]

In Chivalry, you don't just time the block. You also have to aim the block to the tip of enemy weapon :)

[@degas2474]

2 factors in enjoying these types of games: game mechanics and player population dynamics. If it says "Arena", "PvP" or "Deathmatch", the dysfunctional kids are going to jump all over it. You could have perfect game mechanics and still never have a game you can enjoy.

[@joepnijveld]

Awesome review as always, keep saving me money for the good once! On a side note: Is there a possibility for a 'Q&A with mack' video? And on a second note: Are you gonna make a video with Mash again, like the last one you guys did? That was a great series in my opinion. Anyways, keep up the good work!

[@mstter]

I would still urge anyone who's interested in buying this game to go ahead and do it to see if they like it. Also, Mack where was the comedy in this video?

[@Tofinlandius]

"You get that sense that it hit you because your arm is on the floor" lmao

[@KilijHistoryKlcTarihi]

@Worth a Buy Will you do a Worth a buy on Warhammer Total war and Warhammer 40k Eternal Crusade?

[@truggy7858]

Are you gunna review No Mans Sky when it eventually comes out?

[@bartholomewbeverlybenson2370]

+ThatGuy of course he is

[@Xelights]

He has lots of experience with exploration games and I think also some with space games so he will know. I think Mack is THE GUY for tearing No Mans Sky apart if it ends up sucking. It also seems initially designed to be worth around 20 bucks, but because of the hype I wouldn't be surprised if they gonna overprice it.

[@truggy7858]

why would it only be worth $20? its a full game???

[@ncrikku]

yay, another one! can never get enough of these.

[@mentalcowgaming]

Yes m8 I saw this on steam and have been waiting for u to review it!!! Luv Ya!!

[@pieterkattestaart2660]

nvidia last driver update makes games crash maybe just maybe thats the issue with the crases ?

[@HakaTech]

IT'S A FUCKING EARLY ACCESS, MACK!! *ding *ding *DING Get your shit straight

[@SanderMakes]

+HakaTech has he ever cared??? No... Should he care??? Nope...

[@HakaTech]

It is clearly saying that you are buying an unfinished game. He was pissing on about bugs etc. In many of his former Early access game reviews he has stated if tit is a early access or not in the title

[@gogista]

+HakaTech He clearly said it wouldn't be worth a buy for him even if there was no lag, did he not?

[@thefauvel7558]

+HakaTech They ask money for it, it deserves a review. He will come back to this game if it has major changes and review it again.

[@derelict33]

This is a money grab. Will be in the same condition in 3 months as it is now.

[@chrisgrim758]

Funny thing, I looked to see if you had made a video for The Culling before I bought the game. Alas, I beat you to it. I got really into it and found the first person immersion a bit of an adrenaline rush (I even wrote a positive review of steam). That being said, I'm already done with the lot. Every match was the same. You can only play the match over and over until you're done. I should've waited. Your observations are spot on or at the very least comedic. You really answer the question for each game: is this game going to do what I want it to do? Game reviewers tend to miss that question. That's why I'm glad you're not one. You have a unique way to tackle a game that only comes from experience. Thanks. I will wait and not jump into the video-game fever.

[@MMOStein]

Hey mac do you livestream?

[@weirdis8478]

+MMOStein yes he does

[@LordBhorak]

As a British person, Mack, would you say, that a cup of tea would be your cup of tea? :)

[@immersiveroleplayguild7387]

The crashing might also has to do with recent nvidia drivers. Many people reported crashes and it was actually pulled back.

[@Playam]

Found a few very funny bugs in The Culling. The Iron Man sound is the funniest.

[@edwinleechuanhao]

great video Mack. your opinions are right most of the time and it helps me a lot. Keep it up

[@spawn1324]

I feel like you need to do one of those comments videos for this review mack :) i feel like it will be amusing

[@blaimthebankers]

I take it you are ready to dive in to Kingdom Come for some "real feeling" sword fighting.

[@notification574]

Hey Mack, great videos im lovin em. But could you, if you ever have the time, do sort of checkup videos on early access games that you have made in the past that were "not worth a buy" and to see if they are worth buying as of now in their current stage? Thanks ;) Keep up the amazing content

[@olivercox2565]

Two sticks make a medical kit!!! Hahaha

[@OldManShoutsAtClouds]

I love your videos Mack, thanks for the heads up on this game!

[@BapiBoozle]

The game is good, most people agree. But the combat is bad right now, of course it is cause it's in early alpha

[@aasherahmed4389]

+Francisco rodriguez ikr people are quick to judge even if the gane is not our yet

[@niqhtt]

+niqhtt Also means that by the time it's out of early access no one will be playing it anymore

[@vladimirdan1959]

+Aasher Ahmed THE DEVELOPERS WANT MONEY FOR AN UNFINISHED PRODUCT!!WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?

[@thecampion2420]

This games selling point is that it puts you in A map where you have to craft or find weapons and survive against other players, kinda like every online survival game ever.

[@ReLLaKaT316]

another honest review from Mack. thank you my friend for telling it like it is :-)

[@Vidyadude]

How the fuck could he make the asumption that the game would play like fucking Quake?

[@Vidyadude]

***** He clearly says he thought the game would play like Quake. Listen again.

[@Malc180s]

+blitheEscape Did you listen? Can you understand English? Of course he wasn't comparing, or expecting to compare it to quake.

[@goodnewsgaming2040]

+blitheEscape Don't waste your breath on these white knight defenders / trolls of this shitty youtube commentator. You can't fix stupid.

[@Malc180s]

***** But he's not likening quake to it - can you not understand English?! He likens it to a skill based shooter, and also likens quake to a skill based shooter, because they both are. He doesn't compare the two games.

[@tsetsoooo]

I absolutely love it, its a GREAT game. It obviously needs polish, optimization, finishing of assets, and redoing some placeholder mechanics, like everything combat-related.They will remove the infinite block and rock-paper-scissors combat style,i hope, once they can address more easier-to-complete issues like, laggy servers, unbalanced perks, etc.

[@babarskaskarolis6473]

This game is F2P now and it changed alot. Now it is unique hunger games like battle royale game that everyone MUST try. There is nothing to lose when the game is free to play.

[@OrcaR6S]

Probably the nicest review youve done.... Like you were nice in it xD

[@catash1182]

Mark dont stop making reviews because you get a lot of hate but give valuable information!!

[@catash1182]

Props XD

[@kylesmith3826]

From what I understand there are only US servers currently out, with more servers arriving in the coming weeks. Which might be the reason you were lagging. And I don't feel like you can accurately judge the combat with your high ping. Also not every game needs have realistic crafting. Quake isn't realistic...

[@Sideway8]

+Kyle Smith they added EU servers just yesterday

[@Freeri0]

The combat looks like Day 1: Garry's Incident Sigh, years later the original DayZ(and all of the mods/maps) is the only survival game i've been able to stick with.

[@WorthABuyreviews]

+Joseph Ford 1:43 looks like something from benny Hill

[@Freeri0]

Damn shame

[@thefauvel7558]

Same. Still playing DayZ Mod.

[@kolbosor1111]

At the time the game was shit, But I have to say they updated it alot since then it is much better now they basically covered everything you said and made it better. anyway good video as always and have a good day Mack.

[@MAZAAmusic]

dude your reviews are amazingly honest.... its really refreshing. I'm glad you review indie games- it gives me another go to reviewer aside from angry joe (who only reviews AAA anyways)

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

You were playin Quake since 1995 ? =)) wow dude the game wasn't even out and you were a fan. And I was playing Doom in the early 1980s too. It was 1996 bruv. But I'd say you probably played it in '97.

[@WorthABuyreviews]

+ripoutyourprejudice Wow yeah it was 96, the reason I said 95 was because we hosted the first UK Quake championship in 1996 I never realised the game came out the same year, just shows how quick everyone leaped on that awesome game.

[@whynowind5525]

+Worth A Buy Nah you did the same thing with mk,you just don't know what your talking about.

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

Why no Wind "You're" - Grammar Nazi

[@Williamstanway]

+Why no Wind considering macs videos are unscripted I can forgive a few date mistakes.

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

***** If you have an errection keep it to yourself.

[@Andrey0153]

You forgot to mention that the grunts in this game when you're fighting sound like what I could only describe as to be rough gay sex Mack? That's my favorite part of it.

[@xandinho123456789]

thanks mack, i was about to buy the game! u saved my money

[@dj99jones]

tell you what Mack ur a cracking reviewer....whilst i will admit to having differing opinions to you on the odd occasion and to watching other reviewers like angry joe etc...ur the one i use to make my decision on whether to buy a game. Top bloke, top reviwer

[@crazywolf5150]

Ark: Survival Evolved has a mod called Survival of the Fittest and it's basically a hunger games mod, so It's similar to this, but better and with dinosaurs.

[@kevinwilson455]

+crazywolf5150 they all have them, DayZ, Rust, Arma....this is just a shite version of those modes

[@BapiBoozle]

+Kevin Wilson No actually it's much better than those games. Those have to many hackers in them. I don't know what hackers Mac is talking about here cause I've spent 40 hours in it already and not seen a single one

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

It amaze me how many game designers can't understand that for satisfying combat you need great animations with a visual sense of weight and feedback.

[@BapiBoozle]

Also even the best single player games dont match multiplayer games in terms of replay value. Just a random question, did you ever play Zoombinis as a kid?

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

Francisco rodriguez I disagree on that sentence since I've played enough SP ones that prove otherwise. Not dissing the replay value of multiplayer games, but it just ain't true. Nope, really only heard of Zoombinis once in a conversation about educational games.

[@BapiBoozle]

+ripoutyourprejudice And I haven't played the first few Elder Scrolls games but I've played a lot of Bethesda's "newer" RPGs, new as in starting from like 2004, and they're all trash. I'll take your word on 2 but I really don't think it's all that different from any of their other ones cause I never hear anyone mention it

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

Francisco rodriguez That's pretty much new X-COM, the way the original X-COM (1994) was designed was to have you be very careful in the early stages with your plans of approach, especially line of sight. With new X-COM(2012) everything is dice rolls ,even core is just a joke. And I also dislike UE3 and this and the newer game are incredibly buggy, because it isn't made for this type of game.

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

Francisco rodriguez The reason more people don't know about the first 2 TES games is because they were PC exclusives in an era where Bethesda was a nobody and selling just over 500k units was considered a success. Not to mention the mid 90's '94-96' were seen as the low years for PC rpgs compared to their late 80s and early 90s releases also the period that TE1&2 and a few other underrated gems got released. A lot of these games just weren't profitable because of the FPS boom and the advent of the new consoles back then like the PS1. RPGs in the PC crowd really went big from 97 onward with the release of Diablo, Fallout and especially Baldur's Gate. Daggerfall was the biggest game they ever made and the most ambitious in the series. It was also the last game they ever made to not be a borefest. But because of poor marketing and the game not selling well this also led Bethesda into it's own identity crisis. *points to Battlespire and Redguard* Since both TE1 & 2 are free on Bethesda's website, there is no reason not to play them. You just need dosbox for emulation. Not to mention you can just pick a preset class(or go really in-depth) and start immediately, none of that unnecesary long intro sequence that you have to endure every time you want to start a new character. Skyrim is the worst.

[@kevinedward6132]

Would be a good name for a game, where you get to rampage through the British Parliament with a sword.

[@MalpasDan]

Is this game still ok without teaming up with anyone else?

[@salejemaster]

Wow, Thanks Mack for saving me some money. I was ready to go out and buy this thing because it just sounded so good, but now that I've seen how terrible the combat is I'm definitely giving it a pass. Myself also being a Quaker I cant tolerate terrible combat :) Great review Mack, just short and straight to the point keep it up!

[@SpartanOfLuxon]

I've been playing for awhile now and have yet to experience the hackers or lag you speak of. I can clearly see the lag happening on your screen play but I haven't had an issue. You might need to look further into that because its probably your end. As for the combat its not Chivalry like you complain about but its still strategy involved. You can't just block all day because when you get pushed you are opened to attacks. For anyone reading this, there is a reason it has a 80% thumbs up rating. Don't take this one review and then think the game is shit.

[@dank5457]

+Rally Monster well said.

[@pegey1168]

+Rally Monster you are right the lag he was experiencing was because of players joining the wrong servers yes that is a bad part u choose your region and if you choose the wrong one you have an insane advantage no hackers seen on my part combat is polished now and its amazing

[@onesaltypringle162]

+Rally Monster Perfect, I used to be subbed to him. Then i figured out that the reason he is popular is because he F***ing complains too much. I have over 100 hours in this game and still haven't had a problem with lag. The combat is like a card game, play the right card to counter others, then you take a stab at them.

[@loupiscanis9449]

+Rally Monster Thanks for your suggestion , i didnt take this review as a fair view of this game, had a go at the game, This game is totaly fucking shite! no worth a buy at all, so from now i'll listen a little more to maks reviews , Oh btw , i didnt have to pay £10 , someone else did, Thank fook

[@sagittarius7539]

I really want to buy chivalry, but none of my friends have it or plan to get it. Should I still buy it?

[@ShagadelicBY]

+Sagittarius (I play games!) Well personally I think all games are more fun with company and I think that applies to Chivalry as well but there's just something about that game that sort of brings out everyone's personalities as you're squaring off. So I guess If your friends wont buy it, don't worry. You'll find better enemies!

[@sagittarius7539]

Benjamin Olofsson Thank you for the advice! I'll see if I can't get it on sale.

[@AppljuzeProgramming]

Glad to see you got Stardew Valley! Can't wait for the review on it.

[@AppljuzeProgramming]

+Honudes Gai Haven't tried Undertale, but seeing as how much I'm enjoying Stardew, perhaps I should give it a go.

[@vreaujocuri]

also I forgot to add,no micro transactions in game, and u can sell cosmetics items u receive every battle(won or lost) on steam just like in cs go,this game literally buys itself in around ~2weeks

[@Sulzer24]

I enjoy this game , and I had a feeling you would thumb this down, but I respect your opinion :)

[@misinformedowl9247]

Ah. Now that that's cleared up I can go to bed in piece.

[@54syqe]

Are you going to do a WAB on the culling 2 Mack? You'll have a field with it trust me

[@Eddy929292]

The rock paper scissors aspect of melee should be improved, however theres a lot more to combat that you didn't get into. The game is early access and was a bit cheeky with its 'false-release' - which is actually a pay to enter open alpha. New servers are up and the lag is getting better, but yes, theres a lot of bugs and i consistencies with combat. The premise of the game however is still hugely compelling, and once you work out some viable strategies and win your first deathmatch it becomes massively addictive.

[@FireflyHD]

I've already gotten my money's worth of this game, and I think it's great. The devs are listening closely to community concerns and are constantly posting to the subreddit. Great game to play with friends or alone.

[@TheRixtah1]

That's a nice touch with the Chivalry gameplay. It's a lot of extra editing work, but it worked well to enforce your point that the combat is just bad.

[@matthewkayes5737]

Hey Mack, you should have a look back at Planetside 2, in my opinion it's one of the best first person shooters out at the moment that requires patience, skill and strategy. It is about to get a bunch of new features added in a month or two, definitely worth checking out (it's free to play!). I've clocked in over 1000 hours on it since the beginning of 2015 while everyone was getting disappointed with releases such as Battlefront and I am still going strong with it in 2016!

[@MrVALENTIUS]

Always love your reviews! Steam users = majority of younger people with no serious experience in gaming...

[@Sharadra]

bang on review just saved me self 10 quid. pissing half baked games are doing my head in

[@InvisiMan2006]

Saved me $16. Thank you!

[@onesaltypringle162]

+InvisiMan2006 I have over 100 hours in this game and still haven't had a problem with lag. The combat is like a card game, play the right card to counter others, then you take a stab at them.

+OneSaltyPringle I suggest you get it on G2A, its $8

[@doktorvolox6115]

hey Mac you should try Verdun! it's brutal and fun (quite frustrating sometime aswell). one bullet one kill no bullshit.

[@vgamedude12]

I got it and I actually like it. The melee can be a bit laggy and janky but it's actually really addicting and fun.

[@MastorusGamingPlays]

So if the combat was good.. It would be decent?

[@TheWolfmoon21]

mack please check out the concept demo for 'ride with strangers' i would like to hear your opinions on this game

[@jakeb4148]

Personally, I find this game really fun. I don't have lag or game crashes which helps, and I agree that the game mechanics are a little basic but I don't know something about the atmosphere really makes it enjoyable for me. I haven't been playing for very long so maybe I've been fooled by the hype. But I do wish the game was a little more realistic; a focus on surviving against both opponents and nature. Bigger maps, longer rounds, more people, needing/using resources, etc. But idk that's just imo.

[@chunkyfunkster]

For a tenner a Ive had my money's worth. I think it's a bit of a laugh myself.

[@aapeliholtta1197]

I was going to buy this, Because I thought it would be fun with friends. This definetly changed my mind. Thanks for saving my money Mack.

[@BapiBoozle]

It is a fun game, combat just needs a lot of polishing. With friends it's definitely worth playing

[@zabek7206]

This game is totally worth it's 13,49 price. I have even gained money on this game soon by selling cosmetic items on the steam marketplace. The combat might feel a bit off and could need an improvement. But it sure is worth 13,49 according to me.

[@Koboldfunnywow]

Shill go home :-)

[@marksargeant1019]

no seals?

[@VermillionCain]

I'm surprised they haven't made a multiplayer 'The Hunger Games' game.

[@Hosenanzugtasche]

+VermillionCain I don't think there's an audience for that. Hunger games has a more female audience, I think, and the PVP and gore game crowd rather smirks at Hunger Games because it's just the next Twilight.

[@Stormbringer005]

I'm sorry to hear you didn't like the game Mack, I've had a lot of fun playing it since it released on Steam. I definitely agree the combat has a ways to go but I think the games' foundations are pretty solid. I don't think your critique of the crafting was fair. I think the crafting is very focused, streamlined and less monotonous (than other games with crafting) and works well with the game to deliver the full battle royale experience condensed into a 20 minute, 16 man deathmatch. It's also worth noting they patched the game so you can't heal with the machines while in combat. The developers are doing a good job listening to the community and pushing updates to balance out the game and fix things that are problematic. That being said, I always love to hear what you have to say about games that come out and I think you do a wonderful job of helping people to decide whether or not a game is worth not only playing, but being purchased at the asking price. I have saved a lot of money off not buying shitty games because of you! Thanks for the review, despite not agreeing with you on this one!

I'm ok with everything but the melee combat. It's two guys running in a circle jamming buttons until one dies.

I hope the devs actually make this game good because it does sound fun

[@benjaminbeltran7004]

People who are happy with these games are just buying the description... they don't analyze the mechanics they just go along with the description is fucking dumb. On the other hand your reviews are awesome Mack, the fact that you mention the lack of impact in melee combat is very helpful, it's something that many people don't even analyze.

The combat is the only bad part of the game right now

[@WorthABuyreviews]

+Francisco rodriguez Yeah, shame it's what the game is all about.

Worth A Buy You can very easily avoid the melee combat though, the game isn't focused on that. There's ranged combat too (even if sometimes it's pretty jank) but most of the time it's worked fine

I understand why you say the things you do, but it's always possible that some of the things that you don't like will be fixed in a new update. I suspect that the only reason why two sticks makes a meek it is because this is an early build and later they might make it better. There are of course games that stay in early access forever and are just there to rip you off, but I hope that this game isn't one of those games.

he reviews the game as it is now. they release it like this and it should be rated like this. is this worth the money at this state or not. no? then they should not charge that amount for it

[@shtigers01]

Mack is the only one who tells it like it is!

[@valencis1922]

Good review Mack, I was thinking of purchasing this but now im not. Thanks.

[@chrishowes9906]

Did this game ever get better?

[@datguyisfather]

[@WorthABuyreviews]
