I wish microsoft would quit trying to make w10 store exclusives and just put games on steam
The whole point of them bringing exclusives to pc was to make more people use Windows 10. Why the fuck would they put all of their exclusive me on steam?
They probably will put it on steam if it doesn't sell well until then it's a Win 10 exclusive.
Look at quantum break. I doubt this game will sell well at all on Pc so it will likely be on steam.
Microsoft plans to put more games on Steam. Quantum Break is getting a Steam release soon, and others will follow. No details as yet.
I really wanted it to be good :/ I really miss the Ps2-era-plattform feeling... we need more "game-y" games, less cinematic ones...
+TilmitderBrill' (TilSkywalker) couldn't agree more. wished games had more focus on their ost.
Indeed, so while I won't be rushing out to buy Recore, I'll definitely pick it up from a sale at some point.
I feel like they made all the characters wear masks because they were too lazy to lip sync xD
Looks like wasted potential, like they pushed it out the door before they gave it a chance to collect itself.
it would take a LONG time to make this both technically and GAMEPLAY proficient
ACG That's the thing. They announced it, what, last year? I'd imagine they'd have only worked on it for a year, maybe a year and a half up to that point, so there'd still be time for more development and definitely more polishing. As it is, it just looks bad.
no the core gameplay is connected to the core landscape. I don't see HOW they would get it shored up. Its based in fundamental issues. Like I am saying complete rework of all areas
ACG I agree, it's fundamentally flawed. If they hadn't rushed it out the door, and weren't pressured by the publishing studio they could have polished it down to a mirror sheen and given us a much better game.
I think the biggest take-away from all this is that I can't trust Keiji Inafune with his projects anymore.
No I don't agree I am saying polish wouldn't have fixed this. It would need a complete rehaul as in start fresh. OR after the polish it wouldn't be the same kind of game at all.
I am so glad I found this channel. In-depth, unbiased, knowledgable reviews that let you decide if the actual plus and negatives of a new game are enough to purchase the game or save your money and maybe wait until a sale. As others have said, best review channel I've come across. Subscribed!
skittlescat lmao
Definitive Edition enhancements are significant (and free for all ReCore owners), perhaps worth a re-review.
Pretty much what I was expecting after Mighty Number 9.
Microsoft needs to step up their exclusives. especially with new IPs. They're killing it with hardware vs Sony but I want more of a reason to only own the Xbox.
+brandon smith I don't see how they're killing it in hardware, but ok. This was the only MS exclusive I was interested in (unless Sea of Thieves actually has a single player mode).
+brandon smith
"They're killing it with hardware" ... I presume, presume, you're on about Scorpio...?
casey lowe
Not sure if you're just trolling or horribly misinformed, but on the off-chance that you're not trolling, the One S is _a lot_ weaker than the Neo.
I remember all the other reviewers I used to watch before I found your channel, they were always very generic and too short to review the whole game, but your reviews give an in depth look into every aspect of the game and thats why I think your the best reviewer out there, long live acg!
At least MS chose to release this at $40 vs No Man's Sky being $60. I'll wait for a sale as recommended and hopefully by then some of the technical issues are addressed. Overall it looks like a fun game for the most part and something a bit different from what I have been playing.
ACG I'd be interested on your thoughts about "AA" games. I should have gave Sony props for Ratchet and Clank. The Witness is a good example too.
There's not many reviews out or this game yet. The ones I have seen are either from PS fanboys saying that it sucks. Or Xbox fanboys praising it. I like that you gave it a balanced review. You've got a new sub.
Everyone is talking about the depth of this review..you have this much depth in all of you videos! Seriously guys, spread the word around.. This channel should be everyone's #1 choice on reviews. He has never let me down on a purchase or lack there of.
Having a reason to progress in a game is key, excellent point & a dynamic missing in so many games that are easy to walk away from today. A great profile on the game my friend.
holy shit i can see the frame drops. what an ugly mess
Thanks Karak, despite the rough edges I was semi intrigued, the technical issues you have highlighted have convinced me to save my money.
Pretty consistent with my impressions of the first gameplay trailer that came out. Thanks for the very detailed info!
Nowadays i find this to be the only channel i can trust when it comes to reviews. Hell, I just watched a 12 min review for a game i'll probably never play, as i only have a PS4. I really like the fact that you never seem biased towards any pré conceived notion of what a game could or should be. Also, you have a pretty good technical undestanding of how things work, and explain it in a way almost everybody can understand. Congrats on the project, keep up the good work!
I am enjoying the game. The biggest issue I ran into were some longer load times, but the gameplay is rather enjoyable and I like the puzzle platformer aspect of it. I can see how it may get repetitive at some point, but I haven't reached that point yet.
I just love listening to your reviews, they're always so descriptive and detailed so usually I just listen and don't watch the video
You're doing the lord's work my man. Always appreciate these quality in-depth reviews on games not many other youtube reviewers would even glance at.
ACG, any chance you could look at how they improved the game with the definite edition?
at 40 bucks was an easy but for me, and very enjoyable. Would love an improved more polished sequel
When they released the recommended system specs for PC, I knew there was a big issue... It screamed of being severely unoptimized, and using brute force to try to overcome the issues...
Really loving these reviews formats, great work you are doing on your channel.
it looks terrible
+Monkeybox Gaming lets be honest Xbox exclusives dont exist anymore, and Microsoft needs to drop the act and come clean that the xbox is slowly becoming the steam box.
Playing this game for the past few days. I'm addicted to it. His flaws are legit but the game still has a lot of charm. Can't stop playing it.
this is what I like to hear. Not a fan of folks not enjoying something the get man. Good to hear.
I appreciate the lengthy reviews you do, you do a good job of covering all the components of the experience.
Thank you for another great video, your channel has become the first place I go for reviews of games I'm interested in, cheers for the work you do.
Well, that's kind of sad. Good review man, that made me consider a bit if I'm getting this or not, too many games, so little money.
I feel like this is the "Knack" of Xbox One
Just curious to know if you have played recore personally to come to your conclusion?
Best reviews on youtube, this channel will do nothing but grow..Karak your awesome at what you do.
always great reviews thanks for info and not just a couple words with a number 👍👍👍
What does ReCore and Metroid Prime have in common, except for the devs?
The textures
DX11 game that requires Windows 10 Anniversary update ... :/ you done fucking with me MS ?!
wtf are those framerates? jesus
its because the console loads everything in a Zone at the same time in stead of as you come up to it this makes the game unstable and crashs the consoles from time to time
ACG dos it run this bad on Pc as well? i have not bothered to play it on pc since im not having any real issues with the console version
This game had potential and could be improved alot with a sequel but im pretty sure it wont happen
...bringing you reviews at the speed of embargo that aren't two minutes long, and aren't bullshit. 🔥🔥🔥
I trusted my gut on this; knew that it would turn out to be mediocre.
Great review Karak, but my fears for this game were true.
It's pretty much average at best so not worth my money. Also it's W10 store only so no thanks.
I agree Microsoft needs to stop making stupid deals with devs that don't won't really bother to make something good for them, Sunset overdrive was a good deal just barely any advertising like most xbox games that something Microsoft always fucks up on ni advertising, also Ryse son of rome was a good game, very good graphics it was okay, I enjoyed it, now this and quantum break where just useless deals, also I think crackdown will be the same, I want them to have 1 o 2 games like uncharted and I want them to make some open world realistic animal games online or offline.
+DankDiggerDog most games that come out on Windows store only have a fair chance of being broken/unoptimized and not running well even if you have like 7 Titan XP's.
I really love your colourful metaphors.
I watch other reviews for the gameplay videos but I come here for a true taste of the game. So glad I found this channel.
This channel has quickly become my go to channel for video game news and reviews
Love the review. Helped me decide to wait and see if they patch it any further before buying it. Thank you for your hard work!
Christ, look at the textures on that platform at 7:45 in the video... I mean what the fuck guys?
Fallout 4 had the Sam issues at times, sometimes it just takes a while for the textures to load in... Possibly it's the same thing with Re-core?
Except that game has an excuse, it's huge and had way more mechanics, details and it's supporting mods and is way longer
TheMonsterTrio Yeah, Fallout 4 also had 100+ million dollar budget and was made by an experienced studio. Just because Fallout 4 was longer and more detailed still doesnt give it an excuse to have crappy textures. Dont get me wrong, I loved Fallout 4 and I have 150+ hours on it but there are some aspects that it could have done better.
TheMonsterTrio Lol no...while I am all in for bashing this game for poor frame rate and graphics, I won't let Fallout 4 slide with the same shit. Fallout 4 was attrotious. The first time I played the game, I suffered a game breaking bug within the first 30 mins of the game. That too in the main story mission. Superb quality there. Played again, got past the bug and suffered another game breaking bug after an hour or so. Needless to say, I gave up on the game. Thank God I was trying the game from my friend's copy. At least this game doesn't have game breaking bugs. Bethesda games are the worst and yet for some reason I cannot fathom, people will hype them to the moon.
gonna get the android version
well done review, like all of youre reviews. in my opionion one of the best reviwers of youtube, keep it up ! :)
thanks for another prompt, honest review. I wanted this to be something special, sigh. I really want something new for the Xbox. hopefully fh3 will do it. acg looking forward to that review next week. you are my go to guy for reviews. game on brother man.
It's a shame considering I was looking forward to this 'exclusive.'
I remember looking forward to Quantum Break, ReCore and Scalebound.
I quite enjoyed Quantum, ReCore looks VERY disappointing but I (probably stupidly) have high hopes for Scalebound.
You can imagine my disappointment cause I was looking forward to purchase collector's edition too, and have been waiting for the game from the very first reveal trailer. I really thought it's gonna be something like enslaved in terms of post apocalypse but with next-gen visuals.
^ same!
I saw the trailer and a clip of her running through the sand dunes, doesn't seem like the game looks or feels like that.
Most probable cause of downfall for me is the mashup of genres, tries to be everything but falls short on all accounts.
+Eastern Eggs Dude! Enslaved. SUCH a great, underappreciated game. I loved monkey's character and his hilarious snarky and sarcastic attitude. ("it's a cloud..."). Also, the $5 DLC was fantastic and the ending to the main game left me speechless. A fantastic work of art. Another awesome surprise was Dark Sector. The only game I've played more than twice, to date. And I've played MANY.
Has anyone tried ReCore: Definitive Edition? Just came out yesterday on steam for $20 bucks, here are some of the features they list on the store page:
• Eye of Obsidian expanded adventure
• T8 NK (or “Tank”) Corebot frame to cross quicksand and explore Far Eden with new power and speed
• 10 new dungeons and 2 new overworld areas
• 3 new weapon modes for Joule’s Energy Rifle
• Dozens of additional Corebot gear pieces
• Increased level caps and gameplay tuning
• Upscaled to higher resolutions with HDR skies and lighting
• All new Achievements
• Decreased loading times and other improvements
I'm looking forward to trying this myself because it looks just like something I would enjoy immensely, backtracking and all, but I hope they fix the bugs and performance issues soon. A good review, as usual.
ya it would be sad to experience it now. If you wait and they patch more than its going to be a better experience
I have the limited edition coming, but I probably won't be able to play it until October, maybe it will be in better state then.
shame I was going to buy an xbone for this game
Yeah I was looking for this game to start the fall gaming lineup. Very dissapointed.
+Vurtax dude this game is awesome and really fun, play it, then judge and don't go by reviews...
Jaime Lugo
There's this limited resource i have called money, and I'm out to use it in the best investments of my time possible. Considering everything else I either want or all the necessities I need to cover, a game that pretty much all but a select few are telling me to hold off on is a good indicator that I should probably hold off.
the game dose have A few glitches And i know what your saying by don't listen to game reviews i just buy the game Anyway lol to see how it is for myself. And RecklessGames1 i bought the xbox one for ds3 And ff15 i know how that feels.
I was looking forward to this game, but maybe they'll nail the sequel.
This came out very suddenly for me, and I actually didn't see any gameplay before now. I guess this is why. Nothing happened to it, it'was always made by a studio that's not good at polishing their game apparently.
So sad...was it last years E3 or the year before...it had such a great showing. But in the year of Homefront, No Mans Sky, and yet another delay on The Last Guardian (Delayed Until December)... I should've seen this one coming!
Great review, thanks I was on the edge.
I give you props for even being able to play this with the frame rate that bad lol. great review as always. looks like I'm waiting until this ends up on steam sale or in a bundle
I just picked it up for 10 dollars. Guess that counts as deep deep sale. Lol
another quick consistent review. From what I've seen from walkthrough channels of the game it seems somewhat lacking which is a shame.
waiting to see how mafia 3 and final fantasy xv fare seeing as those will be my go to games till the end of the year
Did the definitive edition fix any of the issues you mention with the game?
So how is this like Metroid Prime, again?
CaptainAtomSmasher Not really... All it really has in terms of similarity is the progression of acquiring an item/ability to advance certain areas and maybe the lock-on. Even then, that's not unique to MP, anymore.
Vyz3r
It may not be unique, but the comparisons are drawn, because this game is made by the key people who worked on MP.
CaptainAtomSmasher
That doesn't mean anything. That's like saying a comparison should be drawn between a shirt and a short just because they're made by the same people.
Vyz3r
Similar gameplay mechanics, and being made by the same people is pretty much an ideal ground for comparison.
Yeah it definitely looks unfinished, at least judging from the graphics and animations.
+Eva have u even played the game? I guess not..cause there are, go to nearest vision center and get some new glasses.
+Harry Stoddard dude you might not notice in this video but if you actually play the game you'll see.
seriously love your reviews man
This is one I had high hopes for. I mostly play on ps4 so I wouldn't be getting it anyway, I just wanted it to be good.
Same. I was planning on buying an Xbox One soon though. I wanted to play this, Cuphead and Sunset Overdrive
Solid Snake Unfortunately, it does. Also disappointed by the length that Karak said it was. Although I guess if it wasn't too much fun being longer isn't really a plus.
Ori & The Blind Forest is also a 10/10 game along side Sunset Overdrive.
dude wtf is up with that framerate??XD
another below average xbox one title.. no surprise
Same with PS4. It hasn't been much of a console year. Not at all just the Xbox One lol
***** i was just naming 3D platformer on ps4!
off course uc4 was amazing !
These reviews are very well detailed, hats off to you Sir!
Maybe the best to ever do it, end of story.
acg i love u man excellent reviews best on utube
I was hoping this was a different type of Ratchet and Clank, but looks pretty repetitive and not done. A shame :/
Nice review! First time on the channel and I'm gonna stay a while. Keep the content coming :)
wasnt this game supposed to be a big next gen system seller ? because it really... REALLY doesnt look like one... looks more like some greenlight early access indie game
It had some hype but less gameplay info than no mans sky at launch. A shame it is merely ok but at least they only failed to deliver rather than lied to consumers.
For $30 I'll check it out..
what Are you serious going what fucking months to try to get A 50/50 percent chance of being free ok lol good luck with that.
isn't the game 49.99 ok so if you put the 20% off is 0.20 then. times 49.99 and 0.20 will give you 9.998 so the price will be 40 right will really 39.99 but the fucken taxes will fuck you up with the price just doing math in the comments the fuck am i doing lol im probably wrong as well.
Great review yet again. I'm curious: Will the Mafia 3 review be out before launch day? Also: which version/s will you be covering?
I know :p Just wondering if they'd told you yet. Thanks for the reply though! :D
This game looks amazing. Can't wait to get it.
ha, I'm playing tomba on my vita. PS1 game and I love it. gameplay over pretty graphics
I really wanted your perspective on this, so I'm glad you've covered it. Some of what you've said here is what concerned me about this game, and it sounds like it needs a serious performance patch. I'll think it over. I think that, on PC, it's only available via the MS store, and if that's the case, I have no idea when it might go on sale. But, Quantum Break is getting a Steam release, so maybe this one will too.
I think this game turned out as good as it could be considering its obvious troubled development. There were like multiple studios outside the one's we know about that had their hands on this. Then they called in Joe Staten of Halo fame to try and fix it.
Aww it looked so fun, sigh
Do you recommend any other open world games that are kinda like this? (ps4 or ps3)
Ratchet and Clank would be the obvious answer since it's a shooter platformer type of game.
Yeah, I think I'll wait for a sale and go with Forza Horizon 3. That, my friend, looks stellar at every level.
Thanks for the review mate, I was really interested in buying this for the pc and £29.99 for 6hrs gameplay and the certain issues etc I will wait for a sale, thanks for the review again I am glad I found your page a while back as your reviews are a breath of fresh air, keep up the good work.
If ACG even keeps you from buying one game that you would've hated, he has earned your money on Patreon. Depending on how often you buy games, this channel could save you quite a lot over the course of a year. Thank you very much for your detailed, witty, and accurate reviews.
Brilliant review. Made me decide to keep the game and try it out tomorrow. Got a sub from me!
Looking forward to more reviews.
I can't help but feel a little heart broken. Excellent review, as always! Really provides the pieces for us gamers to make decision!
Played it it's meh average game I can't wait for forza horizon 3
AAA exclusive meaning with a average rating of 90 or above on Metacritic. Halo 5 is sitting at 85.
Il just wait for Horizon Zero Dawn
Same. I own both a PS4 and a PC for that reason. No bashing on it, but I don't own an XBox 'cause I'm not a fan of their exclusives, except Forza...
Wasn't really looking to get this one yet, listened more for your review which are always fun. The review was fun, you seem to confirm my no buy at this time too.
That skittle skat joke may be one of the funniest, in your reviews, for this year.
"The underlying engine can't spit out the graphical rhymes that the MCs are programming into it."
Literally the best commentary by any reviewer hands down.
LOL thanks man
