[@FlyingRhenquest]

Wow, there actually IS a warhammer vibrator! I wonder if THAT's WAB.

[@obsiosiris]

They must grant the Warhammer liscence for a quid and a handshake.

[@kevinwilson455]

or a Shmoke and a pancake

[@Morgannin]

+obsiosiris More like a handjob.

[@supercvasq]

+obsiosiris I think they made it free

[@waddlepikins1567]

+Kevin Wilson I see u everywhere ;)

[@MrAdesw]

+obsiosiris Since the exclusivity deal with (THQ?) lapsed they have been much more lenient with their licensing policy. I'm under the impression that you don't pay a fee for the right to use the IP, but pay royalties on the sales you make. Hence why everyone is willing to jump on the Warhammer game bandwagon.

[@Ixnatifual]

I just play it in normal chess mode with the cool cameras switched off. Looks sweet to see the pieces duke it out kind of like Battle Chess from my youth.

[@WorthABuyreviews]

Bantha Piss from Star Wars :) To answer a lot of the questions here.

[@gippy101]

+Worth A Buy check out Brutal Legend.

[@piethenk4520]

Are you planning on reviewing soma??

[@whoami133]

+Worth A Buy Battlechess was a good game back then - for a chess game at least..

[@doesntmatter7362]

hey mack which game is better msg 5 or witcher 3, which one should I buy?

[@xkillrocknroll1]

+Worth A Buy Bloodbowl review?

[@Senorgusanos]

I was dying when he was filling out the account sign up...😂🤣

[@tacobell7233]

Accurate description of chess, Mack.

[@TERMINATORssd]

i actually love the game, but not a fan of the Regicide mode. I love the basic Classic Chess mode because it reminds me of my classic 486 days with Battle Chess, but with Warhammer

[@AJ100885]

Does the 40k in Warhammer stand for how many products they're aiming to push out?

[@yester30]

Random Cash-grab Generator

[@waddlepikins1567]

Spider-Man...... Nothing more said

[@tupera1]

Televised staring...hilarious! Mack, I thought the three words were going to be, "Pay To Win"! That's my three word - run away as fast as you can - phrase.

[@loonytoony6741]

*sees the zoom-in of the title and hears Mack's reading of the description* "Crap, is it really gonna be this bad?"

[@Trenchfood]

Excuse me, why is the board the wrong way? Creative license?

[@ewanharrison4721]

Also, the hunger and oxygen system in Empyrion has greatly improved though, not really relevant to this video.

[@yoyoman916]

Hey mack did you ever play the UA mod for the original DOW games if you haven't you should try it

[@RenderTechnician]

Hi Mack, love the channel. Just two small questions here. I've decided to donate to your Patreon page and I'm new to this whole thing. How do I go about leaving a comment in the pledge? Also what's your stance on Parodies of Worth a Buy? I've had a good idea for a video, but wanted to ask you first as you are the owner of Worth a Buy. RenderTechnician

[@WorthABuyreviews]

+Render Technician Just leave a comment on the patreon page as I read them all and answer most of them. Do whatever u like on videos as you don't steal my content ;)

[@sunsoar1822]

I would like to know, at what price would you consider this worth a buy?

[@APegLegPirate]

Mack, did you look at the campaign mode and the standard chess mode? You just showed the regicide mode crossed with standard.

[@hanDanie1]

Will u be reviewing Heroes VII?

[@Blade0047]

did you ever play choas gate mac?

[@ickyspop682]

Mack, are you going to do Bloodborne since you picked up a PS4?

[@humphreybrogart8392]

Could you review Rampage Knights? Thanks.

[@TheLotw]

I thought DLC was the thing killing gaming... I feel that is worse than Random number generators.

[@MrPuschel]

Any chance for a Soma WoB?

[@akuude3578]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, that ork in the fridge. Hahahahahaha.... sorry.

[@BEN-ti2yf]

I was just thinking of buying this game aswell haha thanks for the review

[@zukkuszukkus6803]

three words? so many thoughts... DRM? fucking console port? 30 FPS locked? Ex O Suit?

[@Ebb0Productions]

+bob smith Pre order bonus? Pay to win?

[@doublehirn]

+bob smith Mine was DLC but then i realized that thats only 2 words.

[@fear8105]

+bob smith my taboo 3 words in any game is "Pay to win" You hear that shit, you run like hell.

[@seanchamberlain6855]

Rofl orcs head in the fridge you are priceless!

[@Tuikkal]

Oh god. When I gifted this game to you Mack I didn't realise it was a chess game basically. Now when I look at the Steam page more closely it all makes sense now. Unwishlisted. Thanks Mack.

[@Agamemnon9]

Excellent video, Mack

[@ShadeWMD]

Hilarious review. Top notch stuff.

[@ThePurpleZebra9000]

I thought the 3 words were gunna be, Cash Shop Supreme.

[@jankoncsol6457]

Mack! I cannot take it any more, I googled far and wide to find out that phrase you are saying, but could not find it anywhere. Please someone tell me, what does this "bantha piss" mean? :) Thank you! :)

[@k1ngN0rk]

Would it be WAB at 6.99...?

[@holycrapjesusman]

Is it "banther piss"? What even is he saying I've never figured it out

[@gamebag21]

good review as usual

[@bowser515]

I want to believe you Mack, but you can't argue with Picard! There must be four...

[@C0T0HA]

About running from RNG - as much as I understand your frustration, I have one word: XCOM

[@CriKnight]

+C0T0HA Getting a whole squad wiped out by 2 fucking sectoids. Oh yeah.

[@CriKnight]

Both actually. It was my first mission.

[@mrwaffles6139]

i want that fridge btw is sounds mental :P

[@Zambicus]

Scrolling through comments, can't see it, so here's some interesting stuff: The reason behind all the shitty warhammer games coming out is that Games Workshop made the licence free, or basically free, not too long ago, and of course all the niemands jumped on it like flies on turd. Up until recently, they were way more protective (in the case of vidyagames, can't comment on books or movies). Relic Entertainment were one of the few in a while who had a deal with them.

[@BVargas78]

+Zambicus The worst offender was Storm of Vengeance. Warhammer Quest and Death Wing had a horrible microtransaction legacy from its IOS days but the PC incarnations werent that bad. I used to like Heroquest and Space Crusade as a kid so it's probably a nostalgia thing. Warhammer Quest and Deathwing remind me of those games respectively but to be fair they got rid of the microtransactions from them. For cheap (i.e. a fiver, they arent that bad).

[@collbn]

Mack please review Frozen Free fall snowball fight. It is on xbox 360 now "Free". Steam has it too. ;)

[@OmarAsaad123]

hey Worth A Buy you should review orion dino prelude

[@murrax7639]

Mack, I am a tabletop gamer who goes into (Those shops) on weekends and that is so true lol. EVERYONE has a beard! I just noticed that XD BUUUUUUUT. For a 40k player and fan I like this game. But I can understand how you wouldn't. Good review!

[@jamessalvatore7054]

Bless you man. Hilarious video. best review ever

[@felwulfenstien987]

great video as always but could you review h2o when it goes public it's like rust on water

[@KelrCrow]

Mack, please review Bloodlust Shadow Hunter on Steam. Also, I'd like to hear your opinion on Risen 3.

[@JesienneKaszaloty]

I hoped the three words are "Buy downloadable content". I've never been so wrong...

[@larzy5249]

Thanks Mack! =D

[@Borengar629]

I actually like this game quite a bit. But maybe that is because I am used to Warhammer's RNG nature for more than a decade now. And Regicide does combine chess and RNG pretty well in my opinion. You can play regular chess and don't suffer from RNG or try to use the Warhammer mechanics but then have to rely on your dice luck. But I totally understand that most players will get frustrated with this game pretty quickly.

[@Kotor007]

Don't lie to us mack, I remember in one of your reviews you mentioning trying to get your son into one of them shops so that you had an excuse! Haha you crafty sod ;-)

[@jackbillow529]

Mack you should do a WaB on Pulsar: Lost Colony

[@WillisAwesomeFTW]

What's funny is that if this game was a physical board game I'd buy this

[@56Valo]

+WillisAwesomeFTW Go grab a cheap chess set, print out some tokens for the different creatures (go cut out circles of cardboard and then glue some pictures onto them), pull out two ten sided dice, and you have a better version of this game. Imagine, for a couple bucks, you get all of what this game has to offer, minus the faulty RNG, minus the microtransactions, and minus all the other bullshit.

[@MrLincoln87]

FUCK ME! And i thought pre-alpha zombie/island survival games were bad...

[@PenclickProds]

Can Confirm Have Shed Tears

[@supercvasq]

Well since they made the license free everyone gets a shot at it

[@sawsonex3215]

Total War : Warhammer Hype?

[@Snufkin224]

+Saw Sonex Should be.

[@YTPoljo]

+Saw Sonex it made by ca you really think something will come out?

[@MADNIKstudios]

+Saw Sonex No Chaos on launch. It's Age of Smegmar Fluff. It's by Creative Assembly who in recent has made shit like Empire: Total War, Rome 2, and such. It's gonna be garbage.

[@TomatenKecks]

MADNIKstudios It will be garbage because of Warhammer, not the total war series. Rome 2 and Attila were shit, but the older titles like Mediveal 2 were the best strategy games ive ever played. They made their last games really badly and now they are searching new fans with this bad fantasy bullshit. (sry for bad english)

[@ozisponas1593]

+MADNIKstudios its not aos fluff they started making it before that shit even appeared but yeah chances are its still going to suck because its going to be same shitty boring lame ass engine they used for empire total war and rome 2 and attila

[@Ultramassiv]

OMFG... Chess...?! Ok you are right about the license raping.

[@slenderminion2229]

Can you check out Pulsar Lost Colony on Steam? It's a fun little Indie in Early Access and it's best described as a FPS Version of FTL. I think it's good, but it has a steep learning curve. Please consider checking it out, i think it needs more attention. It's 22,99$ on Steam.

[@michaelharney2760]

Christ mac, if you thought this RNG was bad cant wait till (and if ofc) you give Bloodbowl 2 a go.

[@crystallkingh3048]

You say chess is the most boring sport on TV. Not any more, Magnus VS Kariakin was the most exciting thing ive seen on TV EVER!

[@ewanharrison4721]

Did you watch Doctor Who last night?

[@reechforthebleech]

no was it good?

[@ewanharrison4721]

Adam Green It was better than the last series.

[@WorthABuyreviews]

+Procrastinating Phil Yes, best Doctor since Tom baker, he is hilarious and is happy to let people die :)

[@ewanharrison4721]

Worth A Buy I preferred christopher eccleston

[@unixpert321]

Tennant for life

[@rocksthatkill]

agreed

[@spawn1324]

idk if you knew mack but total war has a Warhammer game coming out lol

[@TheSkogemann]

Three worse words: "Buy more credits"

[@GlobalWarmingSkeptic]

Cooking Mama: Warhammer Edition

[@WeirdPawnMoves]

I can't be dull I'm a Macks fan

[@BVargas78]

I liked regicide, call it a bastardisation of chess and warhammer i suppose that's a fair descrpition. Hence the RNG to reflect the dice aspect you see in warhammer. It also puts a bit more emphasis on players to use chess skills. The criticism of the points, account mode etc all valid though. I've had a good laugh playing against friends though. So yeah, youre right it's not chess. It's half chess.

[@rossedwardmiller]

Absolutely agree with account gripes. Lol

[@eleCt1eXile]

Mack.... Mack! Oi Mack! How did you manage to stretch this review out to 12 minutes!?!?!??? Oh that's right, it's chess :p

[@KENDZIORAJORDAN]

wtf were they thinking?!?!?!? ty mack!

[@Adumb_]

Really thought the 3 words would be "pay to win"

[@reechforthebleech]

fucking loving your videos mack :)

[@0ebk0]

Man... i love the way you GO IN on these terrible ass games....informative and funny as shit. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[@Prolord1000]

Reviewing The Last of Us anytime soon mate?

[@Ebb0Productions]

+Ahmed Ali Spoiler alert: Its gonna get annihilated.

[@joebell5323]

+eggo don't you think he's going to like it?

[@Prolord1000]

+eggo darn

[@ArmorDonio]

There are indeed many 40k warhammer games but there are more fantasy games coming this and next year and most of them seem good so far. For example Warhammer Vermintide and Warhammer total war. The Developers who make an warhamer game at least try to do something unique with it :). Recently there was a new warhammer game announced in wich you are exploring the sea's of the fantasy world what has never been seen so far. I actually like there are many different warhammer game's coming out. The one's i like i follow and the one's i dont i ignore.

[@ArmorDonio]

***** 1- the warhammer universe isn't meant for kids at all 2- What you see as ''garbage'' can be gold to others. Its based on opinions and what kind of person you are.

[@MADNIKstudios]

+ArmorDonio Your logic reminds me of someone with a scat fetish. "WHATS GARBAGE TO SOME IS GOLD TO OTHERS" yeah that's true. But if someone thinks that literally eating shit is hot, that doesn't make it any less fucking disgusting. You on the other hand are metaphorically eating shit. Outside of a select few games (DoW, Space Marine, that tile based TBS, and POSSIBLY Battlefleet Gothic Armada), most Warhammer Games produced post-2000 are fucking tripe that have either been ports of mobile games or just piss like this.

[@MADNIKstudios]

+ArmorDonio and he has a point. Every time you buy piss like this, it only encourages GW to make more of it.

[@ArmorDonio]

MADNIKstudios I was talking about that not ALL warhammer games are bad. Offcourse, most are bad but there are some out there that are worth your money.

[@Ebb0Productions]

+Hesher The Dawn of War games are extremely high rated games, and TW: Warhammer is looking very promising. Not all Warhammer games are bad, its just that Games Workshop are giving so many shit developers access to their IP with no second thoughts at all.

[@spart361]

So are you saying XCOM is crap cos it uses RNG? but i do agree this games just not cricket

[@tehf00n]

Ironically, the best Warhammer game hasn't been made because it funds the shops. The tabletop. When they transfer that authentically to a computer game then I will be happy. Soulstorm was amazing though.

[@71Dana]

Mixing Warhammer 40K with chess is child's play, so me the dev studio with balls to make Warhammer checkers.

[@patrickmcdonough8289]

Mack Please Please do a WAB Unreal Tournament 4

[@danpipkin6840]

Things must be bad in the gaming world mack is reviewing chess. Role on fallout 4..

[@tommarkstv]

6...

[@Ultriix]

Whats really shitty is that when the devs were answering questions prior to release they were like yeah we will try and add new factions and things to the game via updates. Now after everyone has bought it they bait and switch with this micro transaction bullshit god I really hate than in new games, if I pay money for a game I dont wanna ever see real money advertisements in the game to unlock parts of the game I should have gotten to start with, absolutely disgusting and shows really how little the devs and publishers think of their players.

[@Ultriix]

To expand I dont mind DLC as long as its worth it but when you know they are making this content alongside the main game only to rip pieces out of the main game and devolve the experience akin to an ad based free mobile game it just makes you feel raped inside. thank god for steam refund these days and fuck them too.

[@carlobarbosa1083]

I like fire emblem :)

[@jmaymay1997]

How many people would actually buy this though, anyone who looks at it can see its chess

[@Plebbes]

SOMA?

[@giorgilobjanidze5667]

WAGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@thastunt101010]

GREAT rng game- Xcom Enemy unknown

[@Cykoid]

odd name though

[@hellhelghast]

quite a shame, im just getting into the warhammer lore

[@doublehirn]

What's wrong with BEARDS? O.O

[@WorthABuyreviews]

+doublehirn Nothing, had one myself most of the year

[@baronsengir187]

And the thing with the shop is exactly what those dlc defenders will never get i am afraid. Without real money shop or dlc you would have all the faction at start or would be able to play them for far far far less time. The design suffers greatly! Every fucking time.

[@jakkuhl6223]

The last good 40k game was DoW II, which was itself inferior to the first title. It's a brand with a stain of low quality.

[@fastdak25]

you keep saying banthar piss. what is a banthar? or you saying bantha from star wars

[@Morgannin]

Warhammer 40,000 is dead as a video game franchise unless Dawn of War III comes soon. I recently beat Space Marine, and was bored out of my mind. I have no idea why you and Total Biscuit gave it such a glowing commendation... must be a British thing :p

[@JesusProtects]

+Morgannin thosands of people are playing dawn of war soulstorm with the ultimate apocalypse mod. And thousands of people are playing right now the retribution expansion for dow2, you should check both out, specially the ultimate apocalypse, you got a lot of videos on youtube. A warhammer rts can't get a lot better than UA seriously, looks like a product from relic itself, very polished.

[@Morgannin]

ArminMeiwes23 I didn't think anyone played Soulstorm. That was the worst of the original expansions, in my opinion. I'll check out Ultimate Apocalypse, though, sounds interesting.

[@UnWastedIntros]

Noice.

[@expressionamidstcacophony390]

>three words >scourge of gaming >game killers "Pay to win"? >"random number generator" No, I'm pretty sure you were looking for "pay to win," Mack.

[@littleindiemaster7707]

Yep this game is ***** but i not agree with RNG.... its not always bad,sometimess it is realy well made(Ftl,most roguelikes...)

[@paradoxacres1063]

Warhammer Dew Warhammer Cola ......I got nothing else. Sorry.

[@MalBoYover]

this is worth maybe 1 or 2 euro and it cost 15 wtf!!!!!! + dlc and microtrans shit. by the way dawn of war was amazing yes ;D

[@GYIYGABITE.]

Chess!? The Warhammer 40k is filled with so many ideas to set up as a RPG, MMORPG, FPS, RTS, TTS. But to make it a digital chess game? I can understand if it is actually a physical boardgame, but come on! To quote AngryJoe: SHAMEFUL DISPLAY!

[@colehartgrove1491]

Well they are making a strategy war game and an online open world war game.

[@GYIYGABITE.]

Cole Hartgrove And that's what I´ll buy in a heartbeat, if done right.

[@colehartgrove1491]

GYIYGABITE​ same dude.

[@snikesblue]

Do games even make sense anymore these days...
