    Edit: Shout out to Alexandre Karadimas who is a patron but Patreon didn't transfer their name over when I exported the patron list. Apologies and apologies to anyone who pays $4 or more and doesn't get a credit because Patreon has a crap interface. Get in touch by e-mail or patreon if this happens to you. Anyway...
    Finally another video from my backlog (that sounds a bit rude). Been meaning to get this one out the way for a while. It's really tough doing video game reviews and that's why it's rare for me to do them. Firstly I have to record footage and play the game, which is a massive time sink - especially when it's an MMO. Secondly, my computer is really crap. I can't do reviews of modern games. I'm hoping to save up for a new computer before this one dies and with it my livelihood.
    Next video is of course...THE 2020 YEAR REVIEW. Stay tuned fans! Big shout out to all my lovely viewers and donators. Thanks for supporting me during these tough times. Back to the editing mines for a huge video...

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that remembers Neocron. I played the beta (which was an actual, free, open beta that lasted a few weeks/months) back then when I was still in high school and later bought the game after it released. It was my first MMO, before I even knew what an MMO was really, and gave me some strong memories. Like being in a crowded AF sewer with a bunch of other new players killing rats, desperately trying to earn money, making shitloads of drugs and finally making tons of cash and betting it in the stock market in-game. The funny thing is that I ended up with an engineer/spy main and making tons of drugs... because the Private Eye class basically could do anything so long as they just shoved a bunch of narcotics into their bloodstream and later crash and be worthless for 15 minutes afterwards (such a terrible class, but it was the one with the most options). So I was a smack dealer that also dabbled in weapon manufacturing. I still remember constantly trying to just run across the desert to finally get to the technological mecca of the (appropriately named) Techhaven and dying to horrific monstrosities multitudes my own level...
    The game also had some damn good lore about the nuclear war, the aftermath and rebuilding (basically the thing that Neocron to come about was an experimental datacube of human knowledge that survived the war and was found by the tribal/savage barbarians) and off-world colonies. Pretty damn good game for its time.

  • @ranekeisenkralle8265
    @ranekeisenkralle8265 3 роки тому +9

    Ahhh... Neocron.... It has been a long time. What I particularly like about the game is that technically you are not forced to attack a single creature in this game. Because the trading professions also reward experience in a learning-by-doing fashion. Meaning if you create blueprints for stuff you do get xp in intelligence for it - whereas building stuff rewards mostly dexterity-xp. Back in the day before Reakktor went bankrupt there even was a small group of players running a shop for all kinds of equipment. It was called Onorata and consisted of a total of four people (me being one of them). A while after the collapse I re-visited Neocron and essentially rebuilt the service the Onorata had once provided. But then life got in the way and I never found the time to get back there.
    And yes, Neocron is decidedly buggy, but in a quirky and somewhat endearing way - for the most part anyway. To most long-time players these bugs are part of the game's character. And I for one am very happy to see you giving a bit of spotlight to this otherwise rather obscure game.

      Well as graphics got more advanced you notice that games became smaller in scope because all those fancy maps, models, textures take front stage ... just look at Morrowind to Skyrim and you see the difference from one and the other and thats the same engine and its more pronounced when you look at old 2D JRPGs and modern 3D JRPGs.
      I was going to say its unfair to compare a MMO to a single player game because naturally one is going to have more stuff and I do think its unfair as CP77 wasnt designed with online in mind to begin (and do you want tackled on multiplayer like Watch_Dogs?) and honestly people were setting themselves for disappointment as having very unrealistic expectations over the game even if to continue to be fair, CP77 was certainly rushed out the door because you could just see the numbers of features that were announced and then reduced or downright cut, like 3rd person cutscenes because they didnt had the time to implement then and meet the deadline they still failed to meet but a MMO cannot launch in such state and hope to recover without significant investment like what happened with No Man Sky or Fallout 76.
      We can only hope the invest and improve the game because even a MMO doesnt launch with everything available at once without updates, at least its not EA that kinda just dumped Anthem because we want to talk about disaster launches, CP77 wasnt the dumpster fire that one was ...

    The soundtrack from 8:28 to 9:47 is really good, and it helps that the footage you use of the game perfectly fits the tone of the music.
    The first soundtrack's footage is a picture of two cave holes, almost resembling eyes, which fit the gloominess of the score. Additionally, the score from 9:07 to 9:47 is very relaxing. I might even put it on my relaxing music playlist. It sounds so beautiful.
