The Last Taxi on SteamVR First Look and Gameplay

[@kyleb8117]

Sorry for the Franken-comment 2 years later. I finally played through this game. Really good quality review! I especially appreciate that you admit to getting the key from the devs. I'm assuming the confusion on how the game works is based on devs telling you what to expect in the future of the game. Fully understand why you'd call it quits over 4 hours of gameplay but I know you haven't seen it all because it should be...8-12 hours to finish? (Hard to say 'cause I had to restart the entire game due to a game-breaking bug and I could've potentially alt-tabbed out and left the game running for an hour or two total time?) If you did finish it I'd love to hear your opinions on it. I'm debating on if I want to go back and restart it because I had yet another thing the game didn't explain ruin my entire game and I didn't know until the end. Wow. I had no idea you couldn't report the pirate guy. I was playing rebellious so I didn't even grab the data disk. Guess that's another thing they goofed and never fixed. *Spoilers ahead:* If you don't want even mild spoilers then just stop reading here but I'll clarify a bit of your confusion. * The up-facing chevrons are supposed to warn that "something is coming up ahead". You don't move the taxi upward. There's no explanation of this in the game (like many things) since they abandoned the game and never bothered clarifying this along with all the stuff you add to the taxi. * Your conversation choices don't build the world. I've never seen a change in the world based on my choices. Just news feeds and one ending evaluates all the choices you've made (or so it says). Honestly I don't think it does. I did a full playthrough playing rebellious and then did the govt ending and they said I did a good job after analyzing me. * There are more controls added to the taxi but you probably know that since Steam says you have 4 hours total playtime. It initially seems like interesting choices but you eventually just get all of them and you're just choosing which order you unlock them in. * You don't move into a new house. Each area just unlocks with license levels. Extra frustrating is there's an ending that lets you choose to move into a new house or take the rocket everyone's been talking about (Ensaladus or whatever). There is ZERO content on this. They abandoned it. It's so f'ing frustrating. I really loved this game until I got to the end and saw how unfinished it was and how depressingly empty the endings are. (Though I also was already a "meh" review status because of the optimization issues you mention and issues with bugs.)

Thank you as always! It's oddly satisfying to have people appreciate content drops right away!

Thanks for watching, fam!

No driving? 😞

[@VenturePopTV]

We honestly thought that this game was going to be frantic. We were thinking you'd have to drive and dodge obstacles. Not crash, talk to your fare and be far more exciting. I agree with you. This is a little slow. It's more story narrative. I think there's an option for a dlc or upgrades where you can do this.

@@VenturePopTV Great video but I'm not impressed with game at all. Way too much money for not enough control (Driving)!

[@VenturePopTV]

I agree. The graphics are seriously lacking. If there had been a massive amount of detail, textures, and a lot more free roaming ability... I would have said "what a game and concept! Open world hectic driving while building a story". I really am sad at the lack of control and graphics. Lagging on my 3080 as unacceptable.

@@VenturePopTV lagging on my 3070 and thats less powerfull getting 60-30 fps on tutorial when flying, thats bad

[@VenturePopTV]

They have assured me they are working on the problems to get them fixed. I'm not thrilled with lag when a game releases tbh. I really prefer number 1 a game should be optimized so my 3080 crushes everything except make flight simulator. I wish devs would realize this.
