There is a lot of popular games, and this is not popular because space games always flop in going popular.. i lived it with battlefield and all space games.
"Who would shoot someone mid-emote?" That reminded me of long ago when I was playing the original Tribes. It was on a modded server that had more powerful weapons. I was scouting way back on a mountain overlooking the enemy base as a sniper and I spotted a guy doing a dance emote in an elevated structure with a bunch of others surrounding him and watching. He was in the big heavy armor and looked ridiculous. I dropped him with a headshot and the others stepped back like they were in shock, looked around and flew out in all directions. It was like poking a hornets nest. I skied the hell outta there. Good times.
I'll forever miss the original Cycle, but this version does so much that's just really cool and genius. Man, am I happy they kept the original soundtrack. I love that tune to death.
@@zvonimirpapac5738 if you were in the alpha testing for the first game I think you can just download it. That is what happened with me, on Epic, last Beta. You can get a key for this beta by watching 2 hours of a random person streaming The Cycle on Twitch though.
Solo has been okay for me just have to stay very aware and know where high traffic areas are I usually stick to the edge of map when to get to the different places I need to go
I played this one year ago and it just felt like another battle royale with some tarkov elements in it but now i see everyone is praising it imma give it a shot
@@lorsmephisto5222 Originality isn't equal to fun, so it doesn't matter. What usually gets made is what's actually fun, not what is original. There are probably thousands of small indie games that do unique things, but almost no one will ever touch them, even if they know of them. For example in one game the goal is to just wait however long it was, a year maybe. You can explore the place and such, but much of the time will be spent elsewhere in your life until something changes after a year in the game. What part of that is fun? It's original, maybe. In order to know it's original, I'd have to know every single video game.
I remember first jumping onto this game in summer 2019, I really enjoyed it. I didn't pick it up again for nine months or so. Crazy to see how far along it has come, I might just have to start playing again.
I haven't played the Cycle in a while but the one thing I realised I've missed was the music. Literally clicking on the video and hearing that theme again was so good!
I was actually a bit excited about playing The Cycle when it was first shown as a mainly PvE game with PvP elements. But, now it's all focus on PvP really, as far as I can see, though I haven't played much. I kinda wish it didn't change...
i played the cycle in 2020 and it was wonderfull. i remember the epic song when the storm came and the adrenaline of being constantly unted. but now is more an exploring game. i downloaded it once again after leaving it and the change i know is for good but i really prefer the og version. i can belive it but it gives me nostalgia when the corona started and i didnt have to worry about anything and just, play...
My first interaction with people in this game was me saying “I was interested in finding a a good Tarkov clone” and I lost my faith in humanity when the guy told me “What are you talking about this game is nothing like Tarkov.”
FYI, you should read what happened with 343 and Halo Infinite, they changed what game they were developing like 5 times in the course of just aa few years with even more lead designers and project managers resigning and signing on. It's a miracle that Halo Infinite is as good as it is, has no business being that good with the shitshow development hell it went through.
im pretty obsessed with this style of game. Tarkov has been my fav for years. I also love hunt: Showdown, the Cycle:frontier, and Marauders. Can't wait to play again.
Gunplay in the game still needs a lot of work imo, that was my biggest turn-off. The hit reg seems very finicky and the recoil seems to be purely random "popcorn" style, making a lot of gunfights feel like more luck than skill.
It has been a blast seeing you and the bois playing this! I actually got into the early beta months ago because of your first video when it changed to this loot and extract style, and I've had a ton of fun!
I was an OG, played this when it was early access in 2019 when no one played. I forgot about the game and haven't played it until recently when it gained popularity, really cool to see a game come so far.
Jack: "the only negatives for me right now personally are the 3rd person animations and the audio" Game clip: *dead body flies right before jack says "audio"* PS: i edited the comment cuz of typo
had some major bugs like dying for no reason and trying to organise a party. We also get a bug fairly regularly were a member of the party doesnt have the blue sillhouette so can get confusing/be a cause for friendly fire if you're not careful. but really enjoying the game.
I feel like I’m listening to three English politicians 😂 all wearing suits and drinking tea. All in all I love this channel, very glad to have found it
I was so confused watching shroud play this game. I remember gliding around the map sniping people when I played. It looks like a completely different game now mechanically.
The game is simply incredible, much better than tarkov simply because it doesn’t make things unnecessary dumb like tarkov. The gameplay is fun and straight forward yet hard depending on what areas you drop and go to
Happy you made this video. It reminded me to check back in on it, I was invited to the playtest! lol Though I hope they give me Frontier for free because I bought it on Epic when it was the game it was before. Id be a little salty if they make me buy it again.
I remember playing this game in Beta it was fun asf, I had to stop playing since I had to change my PC but I have always had a good feeling about this game
Basically they've taken a game that had fast agile movement, decent gameplay and gunplay, with a moderately high skill ceiling and wide mechanical skill gap, and made it a snooze fest peaking rats fiesta. Awesome. /s
I miss you Cycle, one of the most unique experiences I ever had especially with a free game :(
same!!!!
Jack: this game is high risks
Also jack: *Starts mining a monster*
we want this game back
This aged like fine milk
It’s nice to see popular games that aren’t made by huge AAA companies
Better than fifa
There is a lot of popular games, and this is not popular because space games always flop in going popular.. i lived it with battlefield and all space games.
I feel like lately, if it is a big AAA game, its just gonna let you down
AM I A GOATED GAMER? 🥺🐐
@@dertythegrower battlefield is a space game?
This is what Anthem should have been but with flying, it looks amazing and so different to the normal dribble we are use to!
Don’t, it still hurts man 😫
What happened to that game? It looked amazing when the trailers came out, why did it become such a let down?
@@highoncoffee5 it’s long story there’s some good vids on UA-cam explaining
@@highoncoffee5 no content and lack of loot problems.
Such a gem.
I still have some chill fun with Anthem. Mindless killing a dozen enemies and flying around. I just play for some casual fun for an hourish.
This game is absolutely amazing now. A blast with friends and tense to play by yourself
Is this game released yet?
@@blipblop1112 nah, beta is open until 4th of april
You should've tried it before, when it was a more brilliant PVEVP-Quest-Looter-Shooter.
How do you get access for the game?
@@traviswells6938 Beta has been extended until 19th April
I MISS THIS GAME SO MUCHHHH
Yes Jack! so glad you're playing this. It is one of my favourite games in a long time.
"Who would shoot someone mid-emote?" That reminded me of long ago when I was playing the original Tribes. It was on a modded server that had more powerful weapons.

Tribes is a game that I feel needs a resurgence.
I already love how breaking the rocks gradually reveals the valuable minerals.
I'll forever miss the original Cycle, but this version does so much that's just really cool and genius. Man, am I happy they kept the original soundtrack. I love that tune to death.
If you played the Cycle before, can you play this now before release or u have to wait?

@@BengalCatChilli I requested access on Steam a while back and got an email within a week.
@@thatdarnskag5043 Same, I got one within hours of my request on a Saturday
Just stopped playing and opened UA-cam to chill down for the night and this is on my front page... Noice. Keep up the good work Jack
Love the gun sounds, they feel powerful. Looks like a really fun time with friends, I wonder if it's fun solo too?
EDIT: I'm not having fun solo
Yeah solo sucks, I always try to avoid players when I'm alone
Solo has been okay for me just have to stay very aware and know where high traffic areas are I usually stick to the edge of map when to get to the different places I need to go
Solo is a great challange, just think its too strong that you can see your teammates through walls
@@lemonjoe8482 I think it fits good in this game it makes it more appealing to people who start away from how hardcore tarkov is
this edit is perfect
can't believe this game died and had its servers shut down, such a tragedy. Loved this game.
I really miss that game. It was actually my fav game, and the game i have the most hours on steam until this day.
I played this one year ago and it just felt like another battle royale with some tarkov elements in it but now i see everyone is praising it imma give it a shot
AM I A GOATED GAMER? 🥺🐐
Ikr did they re-release?
I was a battleroyale, they reworked the entire core gameplay to make it more of a tarkov style experience and honestly it's way better this way
I just wish people would make more original games than shooters. There are like 50 other games just like this and jackfrags has reviewed most of them.

Jack I've been watching since bf3 . I am saddened by battlefields decay
I haven't played the Cycle in a while but the one thing I realised I've missed was the music. Literally clicking on the video and hearing that theme again was so good!
missing this so hard :(
I was actually a bit excited about playing The Cycle when it was first shown as a mainly PvE game with PvP elements. But, now it's all focus on PvP really, as far as I can see, though I haven't played much.
I kinda wish it didn't change...
This was the one of the greatest game I’ve played. Im so sad and hangry about it closing because of Cheaters. F…k all of them
i played the cycle in 2020 and it was wonderfull.
i remember the epic song when the storm came and the adrenaline of being constantly unted.
but now is more an exploring game.
i downloaded it once again after leaving it and the change i know is for good but i really prefer the og version.
i can belive it but it gives me nostalgia when the corona started and i didnt have to worry about anything and just, play...
yep the second beta was the best setup easily. i dont know why they decided to ruin it
From the intro alone, it definitly looks different. Looks smoother, more complete, I might hop back in because of this.
I wish we could bring criminal charges against everyone who cheated in this game and made the devs shut it down.
My first interaction with people in this game was me saying “I was interested in finding a a good Tarkov clone” and I lost my faith in humanity when the guy told me “What are you talking about this game is nothing like Tarkov.”
It's basically a easier less crammed version of tarkov and I love it.
I remember coming across this game years ago and completely forgot about it. This game has come so far from what it originally set out to be
Give it back to us!
Nice to see you give this game a look out. Been watching some gameplay these past few weeks.
this game was so good
“Was” 😢😢
The game looks amazing, I remember when I played it in its alpha/beta phase, it's changed so much!
The vibe this game gives is like No Man's sky but hardcore, and you lost your spaceship.
aaaand it's dead.
😂
Games like this make it hard to think halo infinite took 4 years to develop with half a billion.

Nothing filled the void this game left so far... maybe marathon can do it.
I played this like 2 years ago and it was so different and it looks so much better now
Gunplay in the game still needs a lot of work imo, that was my biggest turn-off. The hit reg seems very finicky and the recoil seems to be purely random "popcorn" style, making a lot of gunfights feel like more luck than skill.
Yea it looks really clunky in a back for blood kinda way.
Id say I agree but having no experience with the game I hopped in today and absolutely annihilated everyone I saw.
Had the same feel about the recoil until i realised the recoil on the guns have their own consistent pattern. Just like in cs :)
Seriously love you Jack 🙌❤️ You, Tomo & Stodeh are awesome to watch, so funny! 😎 Thank you for amazing content!
literally playing as this video came out.. so good!
It has been a blast seeing you and the bois playing this! I actually got into the early beta months ago because of your first video when it changed to this loot and extract style, and I've had a ton of fun!
The osts in this game are so good
It looks way more interesting now.
You should try the game again, at lost has changed and its getting a lot better
And abrupt ending Jack! Would love to see more. Tomo you and chilled out stod. Great job 👍🏼
I was an OG, played this when it was early access in 2019 when no one played. I forgot about the game and haven't played it until recently when it gained popularity, really cool to see a game come so far.
7:20 Tom: Watch me I won’t take any damage from this
Jack: *decides to join*
“Wee”
*takes damage*
Wow. Can't believe this is what The Cycle became. Nice to see they changed it up
This new Minecraft DLC looks awesome!
Used to be a lot more light, I wonder how raising the stakes improves things.
I always appreciate you bringing the variety.
This is what games need: A diverse, cool map.
Correction, hunt showdown is the best game you're not playing. Love your videos Jack
oh wow, i got this game when it first released but didnt really know what to do and stopped playing, but it seems more finished now!
When you got bumped on the little geyser I was cracking up
the game feels so atmospheric and manages to keep its theme entact, def going to keep up with this game
one of the best games I've ever played, I miss it
Tom persuading Jack that you don't take damage from the Geyser and then immediately takes damage HAHA
I think they're called lungs with eyes... I want to catch one and keep it as a pet though... @3:30
This is by the same team that made Spec Ops: The Line by the way.
cool looking game, those meteors coming in looked awesome
My only annoyance is constantly being teamed by groups of 2/3 as a solo
Wow, it's really changed! Looks great.
This game looks absolutely amazing
ROFL when Tom dies to Jeff and the boys just start pissing themselves laughing hahahaha :D
"it's a lil' Pokemon here" you're hilarious
Jack: "the only negatives for me right now personally are the 3rd person animations and the audio"
Game clip: *dead body flies right before jack says "audio"*
PS: i edited the comment cuz of typo
Almost like he edited it that way.
had some major bugs like dying for no reason and trying to organise a party. We also get a bug fairly regularly were a member of the party doesnt have the blue sillhouette so can get confusing/be a cause for friendly fire if you're not careful. but really enjoying the game.
This game is hard af, some of them creatures are too OP
This game has got me excited. I can't wait for June 8th for more
Wow this game COMPLETELY changed from when I played it last year!
Damn, bring this game back !
I feel like I’m listening to three English politicians 😂 all wearing suits and drinking tea. All in all I love this channel, very glad to have found it
and that's how Tom was never heard from again kids.
Thankfully the Devs already stated that 3rd Person Emotes will be removed from in raid gameplay when game releases!
The gunplay is satisfying. If you have that already, other factors are secondary
Why I find quote/sound bite "Me personally" very annoying? "To me" is just sufficient enough.
Sufficient enough?
Oh snap I forgot about this game. Anxious to give it a try.
Don't stab the Pikmin Jack!
BTW your voice always makes me think of a young Chris Moyles ;)
Great teamwork that was fun to watch.
I was so confused watching shroud play this game. I remember gliding around the map sniping people when I played. It looks like a completely different game now mechanically.
The game is simply incredible, much better than tarkov simply because it doesn’t make things unnecessary dumb like tarkov. The gameplay is fun and straight forward yet hard depending on what areas you drop and go to
Out of curiosity, what things do you find unnecessarily dumb in EFT?
Love this!! Any content with tomo and stod is awesome!! I want to see stod and tomo team with you on hunt showdown!!!!
Happy you made this video. It reminded me to check back in on it, I was invited to the playtest! lol
Though I hope they give me Frontier for free because I bought it on Epic when it was the game it was before. Id be a little salty if they make me buy it again.
Never heard jacksay "we should dip" before
The atmosphere in this game is insane!
Loving it so far.
Got some frame issues and stuttering here and there but still very enjoyable!
I like where the devs are taking it but the space guns throw me off. Thanks for the vid.
I remember playing this game in Beta it was fun asf, I had to stop playing since I had to change my PC but I have always had a good feeling about this game
this game has beautiful world design
poor mans hunt showdown
This is what if The Hunt Showdown and Deep Rock Galactic had a baby.
Basically a escape from tarkov but in a alien world
One of the few games out there (games made with love)
I remember playing a version of this years ago at gamescom
this is literally tarkov+no mans sky
The graphics are stunning on this game! 🔥
Basically they've taken a game that had fast agile movement, decent gameplay and gunplay, with a moderately high skill ceiling and wide mechanical skill gap, and made it a snooze fest peaking rats fiesta. Awesome. /s
