What did you play the game on? I played it on PC and had a blast, it seems like you did too
We know Keanu isn’t the best actor. We look past that.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 I am sure this is the love emoji. Send this to the goblin clan
Personally I had a great time with this game. to the point where I'm doing a 2nd playthrough. The biggest pros I can give are the characters and the writing. IMO it's absolutely excellent (for a video game at least but there are times where it feels like I'm watching a really good HBO series). Characters like Judy and Panam truly felt three dimensional to me as if you cared for them. Music and voice work is also stellar.
It definitely had it's bugs but after 6 months of patches I think it'll restore it's reputation. The executives that rushed this out should be ashamed of themselves though. It SHOULD have been delayed.
You do games now huh
If you want the best detailed review I’ve seen on this game then I recommend this video. https://youtu.be/K7JGQ3sCIl0
I haven’t been this emotionally invested in a bunch of video game characters since Red Dead Redemption 2 tbh. Also, the OST is great.
This may be the first time I've heard the term whelmed used in a sentence, and I feel honoured
I think this game has an amazing writing (all the quests feel unique and some are really good eventhough the main story is way too short and feels like it was rushed). It also has amazing game design and the characters look so cool and unique. Luckily most of the problems of this game can be fixed with updates and let’s hope they do.
The only major problem I have with the game is part of the driving. I love zipping around on Jackie's bike, but when I crash full speed head on into traffic nothing really happens. Sometime I bounce but that's it. Then one time I drove over a bag of rubbish and got flung off my bike like 30 feet.
Great realistic review, I played about 25 hours into a first campaign and overall I enjoyed it, but even aside from bugs (didn't have too many on PC) I felt there was a lot missing or just broken, to the point I will start a new campaign in 6 months or so when the game is in a better state.
I think the big backlash happened because of marketing making false promises and people getting unrealistic expectations on top of that
First vid of the year, tackling one of the biggest disappointments/misadvertised games of the past year, love it (insert epic voice-over-voice)
I’m like 90% through the main story and TG finished it. Definitely agree with everything you said. Totally need to wait and replay it a year from now. It needed more time.
Can't wait to pick it up, when all the glaring issues, i.e. bugs and tech issues are fixed, and to be immersed in the game's world, atmosphere and story, the way the devs had originally intended. Thanks, for the comprehensive review, as always.
Did you play Last of Us I or II?
One thing I hope you touch on in the future is the themes… like, how cyberpunk-ish is it? What I mean is does it actually tackle cyberpunk themes or does it feel like GTA 5 with modern graphics and a cyberpunk skin?
Well, this was unexpected.
Not unwelcome, though. Just yesterday I was thinking it'd be nice to hear your opinion on a game!
Have you played hades, really good narrative integration in video game structure.
I started playing it on PC not long after it was released and had a blast on it. I then got scared away because I heard PC save files were getting corrupted so I opted to wait until that’s fixed before playing again. Annoyed it took 8 years to ship an unfinished game, but my play experience was better than most apparently
I actually really liked Male V’s voice acting. He has a certain biting sarcastic edge to almost all of his lines; something which I find fitting for a mercenary living in a world like Cyberpunk’s. I WOULD say that female V’s performance is a bit better, but this isn’t a Mass Effect situation where the female voice acting is just clearly leagues ahead. But I really did sense a good range in male V’s voice as well, especially during tender moments with Judy & Panam.
And if we’re talking about voice acting, I think the real sleeper in terms of performances IS Panam’s. I thought she easily had the best voice acting, with Judy being close behind. And Panam’s dialogue just made her voice acting even better. Panam doesn’t shorten words for instance, it’s the most glaring thing that makes her feel so unique. She doesn’t say things like: Doesn’t, weren’t, won’t, can’t, shouldn’t, etc. And that little unique vocal quirk, along with her actresses’ performance made her feel very real, in a way that caught me off guard. So I’m actually going to give Panam the award for best voice acting in game.
As for Johnny… all I can say is that I got basically what I expected. Keanu Reeves and not much else, which for me at least was actually enough.
Lifeless city with braindead AI. I was hoping nightcity would be the main character, but its not. 6/10.
I liked this book review angled game review. Not much of gamer but you made this interesting.
Happy New Year! Pretty much nail on head for this review. Was looking forward to a cyberpunk RPG in a big open world but actually ended up returning the game. Not because of the bugs, but because the world crafting felt inconsistent. It became obvious, the more I played, that it needed another 6 months to a year of dev time to fully realize the world to the standard of other modern open world games. Basically Cyberpunk breaks my immersion enough with its sloppy world design that it feels empty/fake and hence, not as much fun. Goodluck CDPR.
This is a good review😁
Not sure if you like jrpgs but if you do I recommend Yakuza like a dragon for good characters and story. Better than cyberpunk imo. I did enjoy cyberpunk quite a bit though.
It doesn't live up to the Witcher 3 in my eyes which is a big shame. Not even the fact that many of the side missions don't feel as personal and meaningful like they did in the Witcher, I and many of my friends consider that game as the proof that a video game can have as good a narrative and especially characters as any TV show or book and it is in fact my favourite thing ever more than all the books I read or shows I watched and it did the books justice and is AS GOOD as them in many people's eyes. This game was at times that but something feels missing I don't even know what. It feels less personal. And I KNOW it's the fact it wasn't delayed, plus the fact that many believe the story was completely changed after Keeanu took the role in 2018 even though the game was in the making since 2012. I don't know if that's true but something definitely feels missing
As someone playing it on the ps4. It is a glitchy buggy mess, but, it is definitely one of the best games as a whole I've ever played. It definitely needs some work and polish to truly earn that without any caviats. The complaints about the game are fully valid and should be listened to as they are not wrong about 90% of them. But, as someone that played skyrim for instance, that game was just as buggy if not worse the first couple months (still is not gonna lie) and no one complained (not really). This game is immensely immersive and from what I've seen, more large in scope for the map than gta 5, and, more densely packed with stuff to do than oblivion or morrowind.
The game does crash on me every few hours of gameplay, I've had visual bugs where dialogue from Johnny stayed on my screen for the subtitles for over 4 hours of in game play even after reloading and restarting. Another bug where I had to reload a previous save state because the right thumb stick failed entirely on the save.
But all of that included, it's a phenomenal game that needs some work to be completed, just give the devs time to do so
Yup, I think it's an amazing RPG. Play it next year.
(but don't listen too much to the people that for some reason expected this rpg to be a sandbox action game)
Having ignored all the hype and on pc my experience was actually very good. Haven't binged a single player game like this since the first mass effect. Can't wait to see where they can take the game in the future.
Hi Guys 😍💋 💝💖
His Dark Materials Season 2 review?
agree with everything apart from the economy wich i found pretty good since you have to make active choises on what to buy or not compared to most open world rpg titles where you have a gazilion pony bucks by level 20 and can by a whole town if it was for sale.
That's one of things I always worry about when a big Hollywood star gets involved with voice acting, being a good actor doesn't mean they can be a good voice actor, Hollywood actor who ends up doing voice acting are often hired for their name and not for their talent in voice acting.
You have done the best Cyberpunk 2077 game review. You should do more game reviews on your channel.
As much as I was enjoying Cyberpunk, I have to wait for more patches to come out cause I'm two for two on play-throughs getting game breaking bugs (on high end pc) which has caused me to lose at least 40 minutes of progress both times.
I didn't mind male V but female V does a much better performance, though almost all of her lines feel too angry even if the prompt you have doesn't seem like its an angry line or anything.
Great review
please checkout the remains of Edith finch
I'll say this.. I actually liked it.
But I'm not sure how to describe it.. it felt… deep …. but shallow?
I'm kinda conflicted.. I got the "bad" ending but I actually liked it – I played a corpo asshat so it all made sense for the character!(I'm gonna replay it and go other routes for sure) – but when the credits rolled, I still had a feeling of… " is this it? " I'd spent 40hours on that playthrough mind you, which isn't bad at all for being engaged and playing and not feeling you're wasting time – so I also felt spoiled and like I didn't have the right to feel like that :')
I'm not sure what words to use to describe it.. I liked it.. but it really did feel like there was so much potential that didn't get realized.
All said, again – I liked it. Probably a lot. Warts and all 😛 (quick saving and reloading helped me through 97% of bugs I encountered. Only had to verify the files integrity – steam user – once to fix a sound/dialogue bug.)
I have a question for you. If you had to choose, what would your top three favorite Wheel of Time books be and why?
First person sucks
So… If you're doing video games… Can we get a goblin play through of skyrim?
This game got me out of a year long apathy funk where i literally haven't played anything. I got it to play alongside my bf, thinking i'm not going to enjoy it cause it's a first person shooter and i usually hate those. I was so so surprised to find myself loving this game! I got so immersed into it, i stayed up nights playing and had a ton of fun.
I think the main reasons i loved it so much were the characters (surprisingly i refer to each by name..which is insane to me, this never ever happened in a game before, well maybe stardew valley but that doesn't count) and the simplistic but very effective combat controls …. no having to combo 12 keys to get critical hit and that kinda shit.
I encountered bugs, of course, but i am kind of outraged at how much criticism the game got over bugs. Every single game i ever played had bugs, some had way worse bugs and they weren't treated this poorly, despite being just as hyped….like literally houses were floating in skyrim at launch.
I don't know about it being unplayable on older gen consoles as my neighbour has a ps4 and the game works fine, so to me it seems like because the game was so hyped up, people are just finding reasons to hate on it and blowing everything out of proportion.
Should it have been released unfinished? No? But does it deserve all this crap? Absolutely no. Games have bugs, get over it.
However. The endings. All of them are absolutely crap! Bf got to the end first and i was watching and was like there surely must be better alternatives, but no…they pretty much all do the same thing in few different ways, and they all suck so bad! Makes me question how they can pull DLC's off from that point…
I’m glad other people like this game as much as I do, it’s refreshing. It has flaws and I do have problems with it, they are mostly stated in this video, but i really love this game (played on ps4)
If you like storytelling in games… I'm sorry, but you gotta play PlayStation's stuff. Naughty Dog alone will get you more than invested.
Keanu Reeves is just not the type of guy that should be playing Johnny Silverhand.
You have the loudest hands I've ever seen.
I've left a couple negative comments in the past, so I want to make sure to congratulate you on this solid review. It was fair and honest, with no spoilers.
The characters and soundtrack are still top-tier in my book.
Enjoyed the review! Know games aren’t your core, but liked your perspective coming from books and exploring how the different mediums impact character & story. Hope you keep it up for those games based/inspired by books or which have a larger impact on the wider SciFi/Fantasy Genres across mediums… cough Mass Effect Legendary Edition Review cough**cough
I wasn't paying attention. Did Daniel say he had a Playstation 5? Okay, I buy five pizzas, someone else get the beer. We meet at Danny's apartment at five. I don't have to be anywhere unitl Moday moring.
