"I'm not going to list everything that's gone and everything that's new.." That's literally what I am here for.
I realize I am kind of off topic but do anybody know a good website to stream newly released movies online?
@Jaziel Jaiden flixportal
@Aryan Bryson thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) Appreciate it !!
@Jaziel Jaiden no problem :D
I love how you get off track and then tell your self off for it. Very entertaining Mack, makes my day.
People complaining that this game is just a reskin of other TW games are totally missing the point, ofc it's a reskin, that is what I want with Total War, I don't want them to move away from a tried and tested formula that works so damn well. I actually don't want them to change much at all, I just want new settings, maps and armies to play with and that is exactly what I got. Total War games are about this kind of stuff, I am not sure what people are complaining about when they say it's a reskin, that is like saying my new car is a reskin of my old one as it's another car.
People are genuinely complaining in the comments that Total War still has battles. Can't win with these people.
Respect your opinion, I just don't understand why we getting this era when we just had a bunch of melee battle era and so close to the Attila era. If they upgraded their engine, like new cars does, and remaster Empire I would have brought it.
Because people are interested in this period of history. This is not even close to the Attila era in terms of geographical powers at play like the remnants of Rome and the hun threat.
I, personally, like this smaller scale for this time period. This era is essentially what defined modern Britain for years to come. It is more than just "melee".
Worth A Buy please have a try with Rome 1 and Medieval 2
no, i am criticizing that the focus is more and more on the battles at the cost of campaign features instead of enhancing both parts of total war.
I think one of the greatest challenges with strategy games of this style is how to handle resources. Having an edge in resources over your opponents gives you a huge advantage. As you control more and build up your infrastructure you can field larger armies. Larger armies will flat out crush smaller armies (generally) which allows you to take even more land which increases your income and increases your ability to field even larger armies. At a certain point, you just start snowballing too hard to be stopped.
snowballing has been an issue in total war for a long time
Hi Mack... I'm an Aussie and I visited U.K. for work once. I worked in Derby for 10 days and had 2 days off. I chose to visit York (rather than London) because I wanted to see some proper old history - and I thought it was a really interesting place. Never saw the Harry Potter shop.
Seriously though, York is lovely
Mack I love ya, you're the reason that I'm a proper PC gamer today. That's why I've got to say, go play Medieval 2 Total War and get immersed in a proper Total War game.
Don't compromise, we shouldn't accept lazy reskins with fewer and fewer features each year where we have to pay another $60 for the rest of the game as DLC.
Yep I'm waiting for it to hit $20
Another 60$?? It’s 27$man!
DLC??
it is £10 on sale at the moment.
Mack, you deserve this like from me just for hating Harry Potter.
watman I don't really see what's so great about Harry Potter, but at the same time I don't really see why it's bad?
hate never deserves a thumbs up
has the "getting offended by everything"-faction arrived?
watman kinda asking for opinion, idk how to word it tho
Jack Harris I meant the other guy.
I just LOVE watching your vids while having my coffee and breakfast.... best thing in the world!!
The tune at the end.....I think I know what it reminds me of now! Why it gives me the feels. I think it reminds me of The Scientist by Coldplay, and God I love that song
This is the best review I have seen about this game... welldone!! This was brilliant and actually convinced me to get it ....
Great video! Laughed my ass off with the HP, GoT and Scotland comments in the first 2 minutes already
Finally, a game I’ve been waiting for that you approve lol
Love the Brave heart quote, awesome film.
Hi Mack I just wanted to say a little thank you as im not as uptodate with the new games that come out and i feel like when i come to your channel you bring me back into the fold and find games i never knew were gems :) keep up the great work
Thx for the review Mack, gonna pick this up when it's on sale in a bit.
How would this be as an entry point into the Total War Series of games?
I don't recall ever playing one, although a long time ago I loved some similar type of games. I used to love all sorts of games, but once I got on broadband there was a long stretch where the games I played became more limited, I played tons of fps, and of course was majorly addicted to Counter Strike, and then online multiplayer became the thing with Planetside, Pirates of the Burning Sea, Eve Online (this and Counter Strike are the two games I wish I knew how many hours I had played the, it had to be well over 10k hours each.)
So here I sit a couple decades later and I've been more and more into games I never thought I would enjoy, from Ark, Factario, Rimworld, Subnautica, and many others, many of them thanks to your recommendations here on WAB, and I thank you for that, between you, and a couple other UA-camrs you turned me onto so many smaller games, that I would never have even considered but I've ended up loving them and of course those led me to others of the same/similar type. In fact, when I find myself wanting to try something I don't have, I've been known to just open your WAB playlist with games you've recommended and shopped around on it for something new to play.
Hey Mack, "The Forest" Just left early access today. Any plans to review it again?
What this license needs is Total War : Empire 2.
Just imagine all the possibilities, the immensity of the map and the new kind of gameplay would give Total War a whole new interest for me.
I'm new to these types of games. What do you recommend for my first game to buy? What one is the most fun or best ?
I really enjoy the TW series, playing a lot of Warhammer 1 while I wait for the sequel to come down in price. This one will be a sale buy too if I get it, the battles look really good but the cutting of features makes me think it won't hold my attention so well. As always, thanks for the review man.
Hey mack what's your internet speed's like?
Any plans to do a gameplay review of Escape from Tarkov?
Yes soon hopefully
play it offline when you do mate for a few hours learn the maps and exit locations. the gameplay is really good but you need to take the time to learn it to appreciate it. go in like its cod your gonna come out with a serious thumb down lol
GuvnorDread no before you go into a raid you can select to play in offline mode and choose wether to throw the AI in or not. You will not lose your gear when you die but you cant gain anything either, its literally just for practice against the AI or to help you learn the maps. Absolutely invaluable but unfortunately most dont use it and go in blind and that can have a very negative effect on the experience, if you dont use it and go in blind without watching any kind of guides its almost a guaranteed death because you simply wont find your way out, you can imagine this pisses a lot of new players off. But the options are there for you to use and those that use it certainly benefit.
DUDE I JUST SAID IN MY HEAD WHAT YOU STARTED "Thrones of Britannia, is it worth a buyyye?" with that accent :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Was that the tw3 soundtrack at the background?
The combat animations in this is the best in the series. How does this have such amazing combat animation and Three kingdoms, their new flagship title have guys flinging their arms in the air hitting nothing.
The battles are the best I just remember watching army's fight wen I was a wee lad
you vids are hilarious mate, love the newcastle accent.
love the plim sound
Hey, great reviews dude, have you thought about an old one? Alea Jacta Est needs some love!
Great video as per usual, glad to see you said it was worth a buy and not complete rubbish. I've really been looking forward to this game.
Just got it. Can't wait to play on the 4th. Love ya Mack!
Sounds like they're going back to the mechanics set they had in Atilla, at least as far as generals and such.
Although if you're saying it's too easy, LOL, that's a direct opposite of Atilla, imo the hardest in the series thus far.
Oh well, definitely grabbing this and three kingdoms. I'm glad they haven't decided to put these on console yet because they'd break all the mechanics trying to do so.
I'm glad sieges are back as well. I really like the unit diversity and gameplay in Warhammer, but Holy hell I wish they'd add good sieges to the warhammer titles.
Great review love watching your vids 👍👍 roll on the 3rd when this is out 🤗
Total war needs a kick in de ass. I thought mack would help with that, but nope.
They pretty much have a monopoly on the genre... Mack can't help that, only competition can.
Im certain theres a bit of british bias in his video. Im shocked he doesn't even mention how often they release the practically same games with reskin.
Yet one could argue that all TW games are practically the same game with reskins, without claiming bias.
All? I wouldn't go that far. What about Warhammer? It seems to put a spin on the game enough to not be a reskin. Flying units n all.
In that regard, fair enough. I haven't played the Warhammer games, i'm not into fantasy. But that's a pretty slim margin of difference considering the franchise as a whole.
So, even conceding that, I think my point still stands.
Wooo! York! Wooo! Vikings! Ours walls, minster and castle are amazing!!
TW is on the verge of being dangerously simplified. Saga could have been the playground of bold and new ideas, to bring the franchise forwards. Not the case sadly, hope they get their shit together for 3K. Great video, Mack.
Seems they aim to bring the franchise to console. That would be bringing it 'forward', for them.
segmentnext.com/2018/02/03/total-war-saga-thrones-of-britannia-could-arrive-on-consoles/
On the verge...?
Han Lockhart except that only magic is innovation, whilest there exist no abilities / loose formation and the empire / bretons / dwarfs can't even use formations like shield- / spearwall.
Even animations are lazy, ever took the time and watched a cannon reload? You can't, there is no animation for that in whtw.
They did innovate at hiding their poor fake collision detection though. They have the units fight and act like one thing, with individual soldiers dropping by the handfuls at certain "health bar" depletion. While thats piss poor mechanics compared to Rome1 Medieval 2, its freaking amazing compared to Rome 2 Shogun 2.
Acesahn it is sad though, as a fan of tw ( since rome i) and warhammer ( Chaos Army) this game could've been so much more.
Also don't forget that they nearly made Chaos warriors pre order dlc, basically holding a 5th of the basegame hostage.
FFS Mack its 1:46 AM when am I supposed to sleep if you upload now? hehe :D keep it up! Love your channel!
HEY! I for one would love to learn more about York.
Said the same thing mack, im a thoroughbred player myself. Its not the best title but its decent for what it is. Great review once again!
2018 seems to be a good year for strategy games :)
I was in a CS 1.6 clan with a geordie called Mack and I always wonder if it was you.
remember that minecraft-esque survival thing? you said that you will show what happens when that meteor hits. well?
reminds me of defender of the crown on the amiga .
I like that it feels more real.
i love that bell
Wait for a sale
On sale for 10% off at the moment if you're anticipating it.
Wait for sale, then just buy Medieval 2 lol. Thats the TW game with collision detection.
Wait for a big sale.
+1 That is also why this game isn't 60€
Something really smells fishy here
Agreed. I'll get warhammer2 when it's 50% off.
Did you hear about King Alfred - he burnt all the cakes. :)
I recently bought some old total war games being Rome 1, Medieval 2, and Shogun 2. (I know Shogun 2 isn't actually that old) I love politically resolving conflicts more than fighting battles, well unless it's a huge bunch of forces than I fight them. So them dumbing down the campaign sucks for me don't think I'm getting this one.
I see a lot of people comparing this game to Atilla, guess that's lucky for me because I never owned Atilla, definitely going to be picking this one up. It will help to tide me over until Three Kingdoms.
How many factions can you play or do you have to pay 20dollars for another faction like the other ones?
I really wish I could get into the Total War series, sadly it's always going to be a game I can only really spectate
Sorry to hijack this video with an unrelated comment but will you be doing any more VR reviews of worthy games? Have you tried Beatsaber yet?
OMG Total War Game of Thrones......now I need this in my life.
Mack, There is a Game of Thrones mod for Crusader Kings 2, should review that even though it is free, also the dlc for the standalone copy of Crusader Kings 2 does add features to the mod. Don't play that ass one Seven Kingdoms, that's just Westeros, and takes place close to right after the building of the wall, just get the mod "A Game of Thrones" also there are several submods for extra bookmarks so you can play at where the show is currently with the "Winds of Winter bookmark tab" Can also play as ANY landed character in Westeros, a few in Essos (All with DLC)
Hey this actually looks pretty good
I don't think i could ever go back to a historical based TW game after playing the two Warhammer games in the series. Once you play TW with dragons, dinosaurs bats and giant spiders it's hard to go back.
Disagree, personal taste of coarse but TWH2 is what made me purchase this game
Loved the review, subbed my fellow adventurer
I visited York last year. Heed his advice: it’s dope as fuck
I still play the first Rome: Total War. I got Medieval 2 but it was lagging pretty bad on my laptop so I never got anything newer. I doubt i will ever get tired of playing the old one though.
Medieval 2 is the best Total War game. You should try it.
10:12 Which to your mind is the best TW game? Personally I liked Total War: Warhammer II best (though the Bretonnian campaign in the first Total War is my favorite campaign)
Every Total War game i have bought since Med 2 will not play on my rigs & the graphics have to be set to lowest levels & battles still grind to a halt. Do you need a very powerful pc to get this to look ok on a 42 inch screen? Reading comments on here it looks like TW is still broken so best sticking with Med2 mods including Game Of Thrones...
Mack play Rome 1 and see the difference in game play, music and effort that was put in that game compared to this or any later TW game.
This game is worth buying but for fans of Rome TW this game is not even close effort wise.
The words, the words.
If this was full price I wouldn't dream of buying it. At £25 I'm half-tempted, but still feel I might as well go back to a previous game I already own, as the experience looks so similar.
Looks fun, thanks Mack.
Does this have steam workshop support?
Thrones of britanniaaaaaaaaaa ..echoes 😨
This was the review that convinced me to pre -purchase!
'What kingdom will you build?.....well an English one of course.' 👍👍👍
Sounds like Crusader Kings with battles.
Had a choice between this or Battletech this month and Battletech won!
Bloody glad I did as it's ruddy brilliant!
Mack got review copy :D, just strange that publisher takes a risk like that
Is mackscorner coming back soon?
He's moveing it to the other corner Rabbit was getting a bit out of hand
Which other corner is that?
Look in the description, it's a new channel
Kyle Gregory thanks
One question Mack. I want a new total war game. Should I get War-hammer 2 or Britannia? and go!
I like them both but I think Warhammer is the best
I would have to agree. I just finished a Dwarf campaign on War-hammer I and watched your review again so I think i am going to get War-hammer II.
Thanks again Mack.
It feels like they've been using the same engine since Shogun 2. I can't stand the squishy melees anymore and I miss the old Rome 1 and Medieval 2 grand campaign systems. The new provincial system is garbage and trade is worthless other than just boosting relations. I've bought enough Rome 2 reskins. I'll wait for a new engine with something different.
Its that floaty, weird, fake collusion detection.
Yeah, everyone's impressed by multiple layers to city battles now, even though they've been a thing in M2 and R1. Arguably better due to less choke points. It's sad how much more fun I have today playing the Warhammer mod for Medieval 2 than I do the new Warhammer, which killed sieges even more.
What's different about the campaign systems?
Agreed. I get much more out of playing a solid RTW mod over anything new to be honest.
Thank god its a thumbs up, I was hoping it would be good.
The following game review is a promotion for the tourism industry of York. Also brought to you in part by: Harry Potter.
Remember, Mack mentioned us, for some reason. This video probably increased York's pop. by ten. gj Mack lol.
will wait for a few months for patches and mods to be made.
Mack, I gotta say I love hearing your accent. However I'm an American and it is hard for me to place it. Where are you from? Are you Scottish?
Lol no ,😂
does it have 4k ui scaling?
LOL the Harry Potter bit..
hi mack can you check out amid evil its maid by the same pepole that maid dusk and it is an old school style fps.
I fucking love Mack
It's on steam for 14. I love this time period I'm going to pick it up. The reviews are bad and I dont know why
Game of Thrones total war, fuck that would be amazing Mack, I would even buy the sell out super collector deluxe gold edition
This review has me actually considering visiting York, thanks Mack, my girlfriend is a big viking nutter. I'm not even 2 minutes in tbh
York is well worth a visit regardless. Nice modern city, shit load of history.
Well worth a visit, nice old city and of course the Jorvik Viking Centre.
Do I binge Thrones of Britannia or Frostpunk Mack?
Hmm I was wondering the same thing
Mack, can the next review be about bio inc redemtion?
You know the best thing about England around this time?
- There are so many norse there. Rarrwrarwrarar!
Watching this makes me want to play third age again.
When the siege towers open, why do the soldiers just fucking stand there and take the arrows to the face?
That's to show they're real men, seriously I don't know they could be a bit more snappy getting out
That's IT - I AM GOING TO YORK!
a game of thrones total war would be amazing
To be fair York is quite nice to visit like
can confirm: backstabbing is a motherfucker in this game
Worth a buy when it's 50% off. Until theres a new engine that goes for future releases.
I suggest others do the same.
Total War Saga: A Clash of Kings #MakeItHappen
This is NOT a bad game at all, expections were maybe too high but this was supposed to be smaller sage series. Still a good game with recent major patches. And if you fan of Last Kingdom its almost must buy.
i'LL SAVE YOU ALL THE TIME.
NO.
