    I can't really say as I never got past the first level due to the crashing but I saw nothing at all in this game that made me think it's worth £22 It's vastly inferior to L4D which is like £15 and all this game did is make me want to reinstall L4D 1 & 2 Am not sure what all the fuss is about.

      +Worth A Buy Damn shame with the crashes, I've only played with friends so no comment on community.
      I tend to avoid public CO-OP like the plauge :p
      Just got to cross fingers and hope they figure out the crashes, none of us have had any at all, so I guess we got lucky.
      We've had damn fun so far, 8hrs for me 15 or so for the other 2 I've played with.
      So here is to fixing crashes and hopefully a re-review down the road.

      The blood graphics are pretty sad with no sense of gruesome realism. Yes attacks and weapon feel is very weightless with no sense of power to them. There is also no sense of impact when you hit with a melee weapon.
      Graphics are alright. I like how they did some of the ratmen with their pinkish flesh showing but the overall game is not the greatest looker especially when it comes to the far off background and sky box. What is funny is usually i play my games with the brightness really dark to bring out color and detail but in this game i actually had to turn up the brightness to bring out all the visuals and model details which was a nice change compared to other games which feel washed out when doing so.

    Posting this because am fed up of replying to comments from people saying this review is unfair. So let me explain one last time for these people too fucking stupid to grasp what I said in the video. The game is NOT a bad game, I actually say this in the video ok! However it is riddled with bugs that only effect certain PC configs, mine was one of the unlucky systems. This is NOT my systems fault as I can play every other game in my library and I have over 1000 without any issues at all. It's the buggy game that is at fault.

    I found these threads in less than 5 minutes, most of them posted within the last 6 hours, this is an indication of the state of the game. if your PC is running the game fine then good for you, but many of us are having huge issues and I can only review a game based on how it plays for me.

    • @Rezfon
      @Rezfon 9 років тому +8

      I'm going to be a bit more constructive in what pushed me the wrong way now that I've slept. Saying "This is NOT my systems fault as I can play every other game in my library" is one of the big hates for anyone in IT to hear, the vast majority of the time that gets brought up it's not the case. Even if it is the case, that phrase can still annoy people because of all the things they've looked at before. If you omitted that I would have been completely fine with the review. It's ashame and probably a bad reflection on myself that something so small annoys me, but it does and it might do for others in IT.

      what bugs? I never crashed on this game. I lagged a bit but changed shadows and boom the game runs super smooth.
      Did you review the beta maybe?

    • @WorthABuyreviews
      @WorthABuyreviews  9 років тому +8

      +Worth A Buy If the game has more bad than good I am bound to be focused on the negative and tbh I am struggling still to understand how people still think this is a good game. The combat is just spam, spam, spam with your sword, sometimes you even hit them when they are like 10 feet away such is the floaty combat. I would pay about £9.99 for this, not £22 L4D pisses all over this game and that is way cheaper so there you go.

    • @Rezfon
      @Rezfon 9 років тому +1

      +Paul Hardy Ha! What's so hard to believe? I'm going to assume for arguements sake that you are a developer. If the majority of issues coming in aren't user related, then you sure as hell aren't testing properly before release. If you work completely internally and what you create isn't involved with third party software within the business you have zero excuses, it would make you trash tier. That's why the majority of things coming in should be user error.

      Same here. No crashes, may be something with a certain brand of hard ware. The rest of the review is just mack venting anger at a realatively good game. The only actual point is that the game isnt optimized.

    • @TheWayoftheSith
      @TheWayoftheSith 9 років тому +5

      Jungleman "The only actual point is that the game isnt optimized."
      Then why was it released? How are people supposed to tell its a good game when its its getting 20FPS or less on some systems and some are experiencing frequent crashes.. whats the point in having a beta when they just release it buggy anyway? Oh right, its just to hook people in to buy it, not for testing purposes.
      "The rest of the review is just mack venting anger at a realatively good game."
      Sorry but thats not a good game, thats a potentially good game with shitty developers.

It's bethesda we're talking about and this time they've made the world even larger, so wait for a couple of months, when most of the bugs have been removed and perhaps a community patch is available.

    people don't get that this channel doesn't rate if a game is good or not. it rates if they are worth the asking price. there is a massive distinction - should you pay £22 of your take home on this game or a different one? from this review I definitely wouldn't pay £22 for it.

      The Gamer Geek Reviewer Because the core game isn't finished, and yet DLC is announced. Free or not, that's seems like they don't have their priorities in order. Also, I haven't spent a dime on the game, or even knew it existed prior to watching this video, so I don't give a shit.

    Guys this review is buyer beware, the game has huge issues with certain PC setups, am using a i7 3770 3.4GHZ 16 GIG of corsair DDR3 Ram and a Nvidia GTX 770 card and it's crashing every 10 - 15 minutes hence the thumb down review. If you really want this game then go and buy it as you can always use the steam refund option but remember this will not work if you buy through Greenman Gaming.

    Its one of the best games to come out in the last 2 years.
    loot system gives a lot of long term value
    systems are a hell of a lot deeper than L4D, however fun it was
    game is like dead island with l4d with rats instead of zombies, and it's fantastic
    i've had one crash from a disconnect in 8 hours, on windows 10

      +Anusideral I don't follow. An opinion is formed by ones experience with the game. If you're stuck with crashes and bad players, your opinion will become negative. If you play with nice people and you're not constantly crashing, that opinion may turn into into a good one. What is your point?

    @OckhamAsylum 9 років тому +29

    Biggest turn-off for me is the community. It seems that everyone agrees that the community for this game is utter trash. I can handle it being a L4D knock-off, I mean at least the formula is fun, even if it's not innovative. I can live with some grinding, even if it isn't my preference. I can look past these things as long as I can still have fun.
    But having a bunch of raving lunatics howling some incomprehensible criticism about my skills after they get downed for reasons beyond my control? No thanks. I've had more than enough vote-kick nonsense over the years, I'd rather not experience it again because I hacked when I should have slashed or whatever their reasons for instantaneously kicking people are.
    Good review, Mack.

There is nothing pretty about alot of popular game communitys. For example, TF2 used to have a pretty damn good community back before it was free to play and turned into craft-fortress, now its full of children and over 40s taking the game as seriously as they would life.

  • @noahgraves65
    @noahgraves65 9 років тому +1

    This game was made with the intention of being very similar to L4D, the authors said it would be a testament to it. They improved some mechanics, gave it a modern look, and a new world. So to say it was a rip-off, well that's what they were going for.

  • @Lobos222
    @Lobos222 9 років тому

    [CTD]
    The game doesnt crash of me, but some times in a longer session go from 80fps to 10fps. I think its then most people crash and that there might be a memory leak in the code. The reason I dont crash at those points is mostly I presume because I have 32gigs of ram.
    [Melee Combat]
    I actually do not think the hit detection is "all over the place", but that they messed up a core thing about melee combat. The input has to reflect what the player "thinks" would be equal in the real world AND it has to be more "choices" just because, its a main melee weapon!
    In WarHammer V they did not think of that except for on one character which probably has more to do with hes look in Warhammer than anything else. Because the "classical" look of the Witch Hunter is a Rapier and a pistol. So when you fight with him left click spam is swipe left and right, the power attack is a different looking forward stab and the alt fire is the left hand pistol. Which makes perfect sense and you can predict your characters animations based on input and therefor better estimate where the strikes are. When you have that input feeling the hit detection does not feel that bad.
    However on the other weapons its ONLY left right swing and mostly a power swing with no alternate attack. Which makes the stand alone melee weapon seem shallow! A two handed sword should have left right spam, forward power thrust and some other alt attack to spice it up like a hilt knock or something. Similar with large axe, left right spam, overhead power attack and some alt forward trust as a "spice" move.
    Instead what they did was to have several power attack that doesnt make "sense" to the player and left out alt attacks one EVERY other weapon class in the game apart from the Witch Hunter! Now, sure these "no sense" power attacks could be on some weapons as their extra trait, but thats not how it works and I think that is why many think the hit detection is a bit off. They do not feel they have actual and flexible control input of their characters animation so combat feels more "random" than it should and considering fixing that could be overall easy to do. Its clear their fighting mechanics are not just shallow, but lazy.
    [VS Mode]
    Is not there for the same reason the melee combat is shallow. VS Mode would take more time to developed AND need balance both character and map wise. There are already map exploits vs tanks etc... Another sign of lazy/min effort L4D copy.
    [Maps]
    Decent amount of maps and the look is great. Some of the maps have exploits that needs fixes though, but its not game enjoyment breaking.
    [Loot]
    Very RNG. You can tell the devs ether want you to buy cheapish character loot DLC or expect you to play "forever". Another sign they should have made the core aspect of the game better if they want people to actually do that.
    *Bottom line:*
    This game could have been allot more than it is and they could have had a epic success on their hands instead of a meh L4D clone, but overall its a decent L4D clone. Depending on what one is looking for. This might scratch that itch,... somewhat. You will notice your own list of things that are "Why is this so shallow." etc. However, IF you are expecting Chivalry like combat in a L4D like setting. Go elsewhere. The inflexible/shallow or down right lazy combat mechanics will piss you off.

Fun game (though the fucking hitboxes are jacked as hell), no real problems with other players and smooth gameplay. Not a fanboy though, just my experience.

      The biggest problem is that sometimes (dunno why or when exactly) the textures fuck up quite royally. I can still play it but there are these weird texture stretching from the nose to the balls, like the uni-swimsuit of borat. On the rat that is.

    Hello m8! Thank you very much for the finally useful review, really one of a kind out there atm since even the other "bigger" reviewers (like AngryJoe) went sell out w*ores when it came to the review of this game, they basically mindfully tricked ppl into buying this cause of the premium from the company. Such a shame and a let down. But back to topic, what Worth a Buy mentions here are 100 % true (sadly), for example I bought the game just yesterday and the fact is that I really like it, I truly am, but don't get carried away, the bugs which has been mention above are very much real and there indeed, luckily I haven't experienced any crashes myself (yet) but the poor performance is an ongoing issue atm and a big one. It's a wonderful game specially if you guys loved L4D, but because of the ongoing issues I'd advise you to give it a double thought before you buy it. I'm sure that the bugs will get sorted out eventually (hopefully) - but until that patch doesn't land in your Steam game updates, it's a no go. I'm not refunding only cause apart from it's flaws the game is awesome indeed, but whoever reads this please keep in mind the things mentioned in this video before going for the Checkout, Thank you! :) Best Regards Peeps! :)

    I don't regret buying Vermintide, and I am a Warhammer fanboy, but Mack's points of critique are certainly valid.
    I haven't experienced any crashes myself, though my framerate tanks when I'm in the green poison gas - optimisation would be nice.
    The one thing I'd point out is that Vermintide is melee-centric, whereas L4D is gun-centric, but that's pretty much the only significant gameplay difference.

    Haven't had crashing issues myself (windows 10). In 6 hours of play I also haven't had to deal with a host crashing or teams kick voting people. Generally enjoyed the game, but, not on the level that I did/do L4D. Moving from aiming with a gun to just kind of spamming a sword attack kills a lot of the enjoyment. Picked it up off greenman with a code for $22. At that price I'm happy with the game and I see myself coming back to it every now and then to play some like I do with L4D.

    No versus mode.
    No point.
    I question why they even bothered to rip off L4D in the first place if they weren't going to take the best thing about it. This begs to have versus with players as the special monsters. Without it, it's just boring, and that's also why Killing Floor never got popular. L4D is the winner entirely thanks to versus. Now they're working on DLC? If the versus turns out to be paid DLC, I'm going to laugh.

      I was just defending TB's honesty really, the OP implied he was dishonest by saying yours was refreshing and then bringing up TB, I only follow honest youtubers, I know his opinion is worth just as much as yours
      TB got me interested in the game, you told me to check out the forums to see if it will work on my set-up before buying... and gave me a possible discount! :)

  • @Itama22
    @Itama22 9 років тому

    My Experience with this game: it was almost unplayable in the beta. i had many crashes, bugs and yes, the community was toxic. but that was beta. now, the game was released and the only thing that happened was, that a player fell off the world, but it happened one time in like 10 games i played and i realized, if you are a decent player and play on a harder difficulty, the team isn't so careless, toxic and actually want to help you, because they want to finish the level. when i started the game, i played hard mode when i was level 3 and got in a game with 3 level 15 guys and one guy wanted to kick me, but the others just wanted to play, and actually were really helpful, so yeah, there are toxic players and assholes but it really depends and i think on harder difficulty, the people are more kind. and that thing with the hitboxes, i never experienced any problems, i don't know if it is this was you mean, i guess not, but the rats are kinda small, so you can swing your sword above their head and don't hit them, that's my only explaination, but i really don't know.^^ Also after release i had not a single crash, but well, it can just be me being lucky. i guess if you had a bad experience, which can totally happen i'm aware of it, your thumb down for this game is somewhat comprehensible, but still, it's a good game, and if they fix the crashes and bugs it will be well worth a buy IMO :)

  • @noahgraves65
    @noahgraves65 9 років тому +7

    I keep reading your comments worthabuy... And I recommend everyone take MY word for it since I played the game, and my video card is worse than his is.
    This game was WAAAAAAY better than l4d. First of all, melee weapons FELT different. Two handed axe did this, one handed axe did that, sword did this, shield and hammer does that. Its focus on melee combat drives it ahead of l4d, not to mention diverse roles and characters. A richer art style, more captivating story, and better combat system overall. You just need to play the game and redo this review, I think. You got an unlucky release on day 1. Don't be such a drama queen. Don't buy the special edition or whatever cause they're esthetic crappy ingame items. Pick it up for 30 and you'll not regret it, if you liked l4d2. v.v

  • @EKSolinari
    @EKSolinari 9 років тому

    You're spot on that the game is not ready for release. This game needs another 6 months, private servers and/or host migration like in Warframe (where it saves the state of the current game). I've played almost 40 hours and I'm still enjoying the game since I like horde and trying to memorize all the chest, tome, and grimoire locations.

  • @orionrei
    @orionrei 6 років тому +1

    I'm playing it in 2018 and can say that:
    1. The game is pretty stable. I have finished the more than 10 stages several times and not a single crash.
    2. Most of the toxic community is gone. Even on Insane difficulty, experienced gamers have patience with new ones. But I have to say that in about 50 matches in one of them I got voted to be kicked for being slightly behind the group. I rage quitted before they finished voting and quickly joined another match :)

  • @TheTechnoLocker

    I did use your code to bring it down to £16, so thanks Mack! It's really unfortunate that you've experienced that many crashes :(. Touch wood it's not happened to me yet. There have been plenty of jittery corpses and glitchy heads though.
    This is pretty much L4D with a tiny weeney bit more melee, you're right. But I'm still finding it strangely addictive. I haven't experienced many community problems in game, but I have been playing with almost a full team of friends. If you do get it (although after this vid, it's unlikely haha) then definitely play with 3 of your friends, but it's annoying and disappointing if that's what other random players are like.
    Still a great review as ever!

  • @Ebb0Productions
    @Ebb0Productions 9 років тому

    Hmm... three points i have about the wab and game in general.
    I don't know if you only tried that sword and shield, but my experience with hitboxes is really good. When using 2 handed weapons you really feel that power as it strikes down and sort of bounces off the exploding rat heads. Also when doing charge attacks you can send all the rats in front on you flying in whatever direction you're swinging, just as the hammer hits them. It feels awesome to be honest. I really don't understand your problem with it. I just think that sword and shield is a really boring weapon and if you ever try the game again (u probably won't) I'd recommend trying different weapons and classes. Also noticed you did a lot of M1 spam, and that will easily get you killed later in the game. A good combination of light attacks, charge attacks, blocking and bashing (!!!) is really important. The nice people i play with also feel the combat works really well and that you can feel the mace or hammer or claymore really cleave and crush the enemies.
    For the bugs, there are major bugs like some people crash a lot and on that i agree. The game should be delayed until the bugs got hammered out. Luckily the last time i checked, the devs said they are currently prioritizing bug fixes and optimization over DLC, so I'm assuming the game will be patched up within the following weeks. I've "only" had 3 crashes after 40 hours, but it sucks when it does crash.
    For the community, i agree. It is absolutely filled with self absorbed passive aggressive shit players. It's like a blend of minecraft and cs:go kids. Its not all bad, but you generally have to go through 3 terrible parties to find 1 good, and then you just stick with the good party for the next 3 hours. When you get to higher difficulties it gradually gets better because the shitters can't handle nightmare or cataclysm, but there will always be "that guy" from time to time. This is why you have friends to play with, because it makes the game sooooo much better. You see, what the game does so well and makes it worth it imo is how important and rewarding teamplay is. Its not just about sticking together, sometimes splitting up is the best idea. When you also designate roles, sectors, routes, and do some clever weapon combinations among the team its really rewarding when everything just works. Some levels are really fucking hard and so you do a lot of planning and testing different tactics on different maps. It really opens up when you have a good team and it doesn't crash. The games really shines in this regard and i see it as its main strength.
    I don't want to sound all fanboyish, I just wanted to mention the good points about the game since Mack sadly didn't get to experience them after 2 hours of crashing. A team of nice people is what makes the game worth it despite it's stability issues imho.

    • @Ebb0Productions
      @Ebb0Productions 9 років тому

      +eggo tl;dr: Even though Mack says it's not a bad game, 90% of the wab is focused on the bad things about it, and this will inevitably leave a very poor impression of the game in total. The points Mack makes (which are all valid), only represents about 3% of my total experience with the game. I recommend trying it and just getting a refund if you're not happy with its stability or players.

    @BVargas78 9 років тому

    Community awful? = Subjective
    Combat doesnt feel that solid, range seems to vary? Valid criticism.
    This probably has to do with regular attacks doing different types of move, sometimes slash, sometimes a stab move. It depends on the weapon but light/one hand weapons tend to be left slash right slash and stab. (i mean just pressing light attack button (left mouse clicks here) ). Lag probably messes up what is shown. Other weapons require holding left button to stab, others need that to overhead strike so keep that in mind.

    But seriously, love your vids man, been subbed for a while. I haven't played a good game since 2000 when diablo 2 came out. That said I kinda like this game (not love), and I knew you wouldn't like it hahaha

    I've never understood how running around pressing the R trigger was supposed to feel like swinging a sword. Can't we come up with some other kind of combat innovation than "look at enemy, press R"?

      +Paw print Mount and Blade? It's abstract, but it has some core elements of fencing such as positioning (to you enemy, but also in a group), timing you attack and anticipating your enemy's move.

      +Paw print Don't forget the cannon fodder AI masses you slay by the dozen each wave to feel empowered. Did those devs never lay their hand on the likes of Dark Souls?
