Summary: It's a game that forces you to play it in a way that makes no sense what so ever with a community that lacks even the basic common sense. The map is just a copy and paste zone of capturable plots that are essential for your base, it forces you to cap them while also giving you a shit load of other tasks of equal importance. Failure to do any of the tasks will make your game very hard to do, fail to visit new survivors will usually make them hostile, failure to destroy an infestation will result in base attacks and the infestation growing, failure to collect enough resources will result in people leaving your community and any failure at anything will result in morale going down in your community which also has dire consequences. In order to do all the above you literally have to rush around the map like a blue arsed fly, rushing from job to job then hearing your radio crackle to life with another identical job, rinse and repeat over and over, utterly boring. Then we have the bugs, so many bugs, loot bugs, clipping bugs, Ai bugs, door bugs, quest bugs, UI bugs, you name it there is a bug for it. I fail to believe this game had any testing, it's a mess! The combat is clunky, you often find yourself swinging away hoping to connect with a nearby zombie, the game auto turns you to hit nearby Zeds and X-Ray vision is rife in the form of tags. The gun play is ok for a third person game which means it's shite compared to a FPS but it is what it is. Coop is a joke, you can't have your friends help build and use your base, they are also tethered to you which basically makes them just another hired gun while you do all the base management, it's a joke for 2018, even indie games have better coop than this trash. Overall this game feels like it has had very little love during development, it's just a copy and paste from SOD with very little new content added, it could have been so much better and am pleased most reviewers (except the usual shills) have dared to speak the truth about this game despite the fear of attacks from the Xbox community.
Mack First of all thank you for your honest Facts an hands review of games. I wait usually see what give it. An sadly I m not PC gamer just Xbox gamer. I do have a X Xbox. I am Soo disappointed with games all I have is third party games an Say I m fine with that I die inside as Gamer just furious How Microsoft doing this generation I refuse to buy shit an support shit of rushed game. I hope big things for E3 but its looking grim. Thank you Mack for your all your reviews an hard work.
For inventory and management game this is flawed in a technical point. Who thought it was reasonable to have to switch characters in order to get items or get cured? You should be able to trade with your AI like you do in EVERY SINGLE GAME that has an inventory.
RIP Total Biscuit, so sad to hear he lost his battle against cancer tonight, he found it with courage and dignity and I never once heard him moaning about it. A huge loss to the gaming industry, he made a difference. The news broke while I was streaming and the whole atmosphere of the stream just dropped like a stone, this is how well respected he was among gamers.
Windows 10... Is it worth a buy? Let's read... Windows 10 is an early access open world digital survival game, set in the post apocalyptic world of Windows 8.1. Craft your own solutions to bugs, survive terrifying data destroying crashes, contend with hunger and thirst as you redo a week's worth of work, and battle the enigmatic forces of customer support... Will your nerves make it out alive???
One of the best commens i ever read on a Mack video. I usually pirate all my windows OSs since the early 2000s, but it seems Win10 is not even worth pirating.
Until they chose to adopt Xbox's greedy pay for multiplayer scam. They really could have taken advantage of this but instead chose to embrace this sick practice. I decided back then when I heard of it that I was never going to return to consoles after that.
"OOPS! Accidentally spilled important medical supplies" *5 minutes later* "OH MAN accidentally broke important crafting material" Even after you get the shit you need, the game just goes on and quickly breaks it so as to send you out for more fetch quest.
It's literally impossible to stick with Windows 7 for life because after MS stops officially supporting it, then so will makers of hardware and software. For example, try finding a modern GPU driver that is compatible with Windows XP. It can't be done, there is no such thing, because NVIDIA and AMD decided not to offer any. Windows 7 will inevitably follow in the same footsteps, it's only a matter of time. And alternative OSes always suck real bad for gaming. So if you wish to remain a gamer, you will eventually be forced to use whatever latest piece of crap OS that MS is pushing.
Try actually daily driving W10 for a period of time, it's honestly the best operating system upgrade I've had/went through in my PC using experience(dating back to ancient W3.1) and isn't anything like what some make it out to be. The Windows update that broke some Intel SSDs is what it is - and, since Microsoft still currently supports W7, such an incident could occur - but the odds of these incidents biting you are always rare(these things are obviously tested before being rolled out, but they can't always catch everything obviously). But, straight up FUNCTIONALLY, as far as day to day usability is concerned, W10 has been pretty fantastic IMO. It's as functionally clean as W7, nearly as lightweight(not that it matters much now - browsers at the least are bound to eat up all your fucking resources), and the upgrade from W7 to W10 is as seamless as it gets(not hyperbole - I really haven't experienced another upgrade that's as problem free). Form your opinions through your own experience(and, really, like a solid week of daily driver use to REALLY try it out), not from others opinions
I'm a huge proponent of free & open source software, I have a coreboot IBM Thinkpad with Manjaro linux on it. For games I have a windows 10 high end box and an xbox one s. I used to run A debian + virtEmu windows virtual machine for games, it ran even better than installed on bare metal in some games, but convenience wins every time (hence the xbox, i do have x360 controllers and a steam controller). Windows 10 is the best current gaming OS unfortunately, no way around that except virtualizing it, even then you're still using it :). I suggest having machines for specific tasks, win10 / console for gaming, slower laptop for work/normal use. It's not more expensive if you get a cheap second hand laptop and repair that, it's environmentally friendly do that anyway.
Wow Xbox can't get anything right at the mo. Terrible exclusive after terrible exclusive. Not a Sony fanboy at all but when you compare utter shit like Sea of Thieves and this to God Of War, it really is night and day.
the investors are putting pressure on the developers. its allways the same. then, suddenly, the developer shits on the project because of the pressure. else i cant say why xbox games are shitty af. even halo.
IT has plenty right re services: game pass, back compat etc; in that regard Xbox is kicking the living tits out of Sony. They showed 42 games last e3, many of which are far more interesting than Sony's cookie-cutter third person cinematic snoozefests (im thinking about below, ooblets, last night, artful escape, cuphead, ori 2, et al), you know, actual original games
10.11% of games on PS4 are exclusive, and 8.03% of big releases are exclusive. 1.59% of all games on PS4 are exclusives with 40+ reviews averaging a score of 80% or higher. 4.29% of games on the Xbox One are exclusive, and 1.68% of their big releases are exclusive. 0.42% of all games on the Xbox One are exclusives with 40+ reviews averaging a score of 80% or higher. ^ The above are facts. Again, not a Sony fanboy, but rather a consumer who struggles to find a single game to buy on XB1.
they even manage the fuck up on Halo(how can you destroy Halo srsly...) with req points,skin sells,shitty campaign, i also don't like Sony(because their scummy attitude on psnetwork at my country) but Xbox is beyond shit.
It's really sad, I have the OneX and have my TV through it, I love the console, play RDR on it a fair bit and wish I had some other games to just chill out and play when am away from the PC, shame most recent games are sucking.
But god of war really is unoriginal, it's not really as boring as the king of boredom Sea of Thieves or even this, but at least it's not buggy and has decent gameplay. I have an Xbox and I can't deny how terribly unfinished and boring they can make these games just to please the 'exclusive' crowd. Exclusives are a bad thing to all gamers, these are great examples of what can go wrong.
Well I'm loving it and 12hrs in so far. It's a plate spinning zombie survival simulation, you're never meant to feel comfortable. You can potter about at your own pace if you wish, failed quests for enclaves will crop up again as will survivors needing help. In fact it's pretty kind in letting you play how you want. The complaints about bugs are over exaggerated, none have been particularly bad for me. I like how it follows 7days to die formula of the longer you survive the better the loot that spawns and the more difficult and numerous the zombies get. It's not a AAA title, it's mid range and for the amount of replayability and size it offers it's a steal. I accept it's a marmite game though but if you liked the first one you'll fucking love this.
After a 👎 for Assassins Creed Origins, Shadow of War and State of Decay 2 and numerous 👍 for obscure PC strategy shite I'm beginning to question Mr bell ringer's judgement 😔
I didn't reply to you as your poorly worded reply didn't make it obvious what you were talking about. As I said, the game doesn't let you feel comfortable and missed quests do have a consequence but will eventually recycle as they did in the first game. You quote nothing really matters but those weren't my words, they're yours. Enclaves will leave if you ignore their quests as will survivors. You're free to ignore all that stuff but it'll make the game harder. The choice is yours. Clearer for you? Assassin's Creed Origins is widely regarded as one of the best in the series. I enjoyed it and I loved Shadow of War. Critics seen to love getting all huffy about loot crates and forget the games are fun regardless.
If your spending time gathering food in this game... then your doing it wrong. "Only zombies that are remotely a threat are feral zombies and large hordes," - its a zombie game, of course hordes are the only threat. "which even then you can easily deal with by just dodging constantly" - you somehow have infinite stamina? nice. "Plague zombies are so fucking common that I have more samples than I know what to do with, so cures aren’t a problem, " - your not actually killing the plague hearts are you? explains why your low moral survivors are RNGing your stuff in base. "So far the only punishment for not doing missions is some groups become hostile towards you" - Yep, if you ignore losing potential survivors and any positive bonuses that allied enclave would have given you - your punishment is the game is now a little harder. "I’m constantly having specific controls like crouching and vaulting flat out stop working " - this is probably due to your "infinite" stamina.
I'm on my 3rd play through now and over 70hrs on it 😵. My only real complaint is the same as the first game: it's too easy. Once you've got all the skills and meds the only real danger is your own incompetence. Hopefully they'll add a hard mode with 2x or 3x damage or incurable blood plague.
kinda makes you wonder something, like oh i don't know does he have a biased hatred, almost seems that way. which means you cannot expect a fair review.
Yeah who needs directX graphics dont make a game, the gameplay dose, i got unreal gold yesterday for free from gog only need to find a patch for it and its hours of SKILLED fps As for shoving it down our throuts i doubt i have a legit win 7 install disc with a key all i need to do is get all updates until the final day save on a flash drive and that's about it, NEVER HAVE AUTO UPDATES ENABLED FUCK RECOMMANDED IT SUCKS
So true about that update thing. Omfg it's annoying, like i wanna turn my computer off to go to bed but NAH it's gotta do updates for another 30 minutes so i gotta wait for it to finish then get out of bed again to turn off my PC.
I still have my win 7 [along with my entire rig] still from 2011 DISABLE THOSE UPDATES forget that it says not recommanded or anything like that just do it. Also why do you turn it off when you go to sleep? My rig is running 24/7 is it bad ? I only turn off the monitor by hitting the button on the side pannel of it
I enjoy the game. I feel like you may have needed to do more research on how to play as it doesn't hold your hand. You don't have to do the fetch quests. You also can trade items with the enclave to get influence points. Killing plague hearts also gives influence. If you just don't like a game instructions won't help though. I get it.
i think its pretty clear at this point that undead labs doesnt have the talent to create the game they want to make. wouldnt be surprised to see them go under honestly
I feel you with the latest forced windows 10 update. I didn't accept it and it did it anyway in the middle of the night, screwing up my computer which wouldn't start in windows anymore, and I would get an infinite rollback screen... I had to reinstall everything!! F*** U MICROSOFT!!
Rooster More than one reason sadly. The first and the more obvious one is that I'm used to Windows since I'm 8 and I'm 30 now... So it's hard to change your habits just like that. Second and third reasons are that I do a lot of gaming and professional video editing and Linux doesn't offer the support required for me to be satisfied in those two categories. I did try it though, but Windows is just more mature for that. And in general the performance on Windows 10 are pretty good, the problem is that they don't let you keep full control of your PC and that sucks. I just watched a tutorial to prevent Windows to do any update ever. That's f up that I have to do that in order to prevent Windows to control my PC whenever it wants. Even Mac isn't that pushy regarding updates.
Well I used Windows from 8-23 and changing was a breeze for me. Also, there are ton of Linux distros which look and work pretty much like Windows when it comes to UE. For the gaming, I don't really agree as my Linux Steam library is full of great games I can't find time to play. But I get ya. In the end it all comes down to if you are willing to put up with all the shit Microsoft has you put up with when using their non free product. I wasn't. For me, me and PC is always a lord and servant type of relationship. I'm the lord, while PC is supposed to be the servant. With Windows I didn't get the feeling that was it.
I just found this channel a few days ago. Funny as shit listening to this bloke gettin so angry and hitting the bell all the time. He be getting heated over the littlest shit 😂
I had the same thing this week: Windows 10 update created a new 400mb partition and put 360mb of hidden stuff in it. Windows kept telling me this new partition was low on space, with constant popup warnings. I had to hunt down solutions too, but a lot of people who aren't confident with computers are going to be stuck with it until MS fix it. Very crappy.
some critiques are valid like the bugs and stupid AI. The rest feels like it's just not game for you. Didn't like the first one, why would you like this one?
pretty much this. Whether it's a good game or not he already went into it with a negative opinion because he hates the first one. And people love the first game. all this is is a much improved first game. Just of course alot buggier, even though I have experienced none, guess I'm just lucky. There not going to change the way their game plays just for him.
Yep. It's a shame with the bugs but nothing new in games today AND it's low budget title with a matching price. I'm on ps4 so I haven't played it but loved the first one and this one actually makes me wanna get a xbox.
Yeah, it's like reviewing an Avengers movie when you say first off you hate Avengers movies - you hate the actors, the writers and the director. Probably shouldn't be reviewing it.
I saw this review coming a mile away. Im actually having fun with this game and their discord community has loads of good people in it. Everything Mack said is true, as always, but im 25 hours in and enjoying it a lot. Keep doing you Mack!
I think the worst bugs are an Xbox issue since I have not encountered any gamebreakers so far on PC. And I have played about 40 hours now. On my way to get my second Group up.
There is constantly something to do in the game. I like it, keeps you busy. I have too much time to spare in my life right now to begin with so maybe it is just the game for me right now. Joshua, yes I have seen that horizontal line too. Not a huge gamebreaker IMO. :)
Thank Fuck for that intro! After the new shitty update I was left a 449mb hard drive that was constantly popping up LOW DISC SPACE. I thought It was only me!
I actually loved it, played last year and it has improved with monthly updates. Mack is pretty close tho on alot of it. At release it was probably a mess.
How did you get rid of the drive the windows update added ^^? Constantly get notified that the drive space is nearly full and can't remove it in drive management settings thingy
😂 I loved the first one, and I am addicted to 2nd, think its better in every way. But I like to see you so vocal and love it when you dislike a game 👍 entertainment.
Sry its a late reply but since you play it. I feel like when it comes to the people management he just did all wrong when talking about stealing. Its the population using up supplies over time not stealing you have to outfit each survivor with the load out you want for each survivor at least from what i remember.
what? you can administer the cure to yourself without selecting another character, and also just hit B and you can pick and use the infirmary without going to it, or any other facility as well... when you have a helper come with you they also will loot while they are out with you and protect you while you scavenge, but other than that yeah they are useless and it would be better and make sense if you could load them up too the supplies don't just vanish either, your people will even tell you why the certain resource is gone. a horde that headed to your base while you weren't there and your people used the ammo to protect themselves. I mean yeah it took like 2 ammo away from you but it doesn't pick the same resource often and its kinda an imagination thing to feel like damn they are working even without me there. the outpost generates resources or gives your base some ability, and you're upset it costs 300 points? one of those outpost types is an artillery strike, that's a serious advantage to have obviously and you just want it because you killed 2 or 3 zombies and you got to the flag lol? also you even get thousands of those points over a short amount of time, i feel like that's a really odd negative thing to say.. I stopped watching there and just found the video more of a personal problem with these types and styles of games, although ill definitely give you the fact that its stupidly repetitive and holy mother of god the bugs are bad on pc lol..
The game is "stupidly repetitive" and yet you think this is only personal problem. That is called horrible game design that you should be payed to waste your time with. Any review that gives this crap a pass has no concept of what a game should be like. Anything repetitive in a game better be fun and whoever the moron that made the game did not know that. Only morons think fetch quests and killing the same lame zombie is fun.
Yesterday I was playing WoW, fighting some mobs and Windows pulled me out of the game to show me the update pop-up. I mistakenly pressed on "Restart now" instead of "Remind me later" and Windows instantly started to restart and update. Judging by the progression screen I saw that it will take a very long time and had no other choice than to go to bed. My character probably died as well.
Firstly, loved the video, I appreciate your unbiased honesty and funny commentary 😁 I agree many many things wrong with this game, poor decisions and co-op is a mess. It's not really co-op tbh. But, I'm slowly enjoying the game, having survived 14 days & winning half the achievements. It can be atmospheric in single player, and I've gone from hating it, to looking forward to playing it more. No doubt the dumb community I represent will fuck things up and they'll all die, but so far ... I'm persevering. Keep up the good work though, love your videos 👍
Im sry mack, but i don’t think you played the game past the tutorial. Many things you said are just wrong. You CAN heal a character without switching by entering the infirmary after the tutorial. Just walk up, create cure and use it. Also you can use your followers to carry things, just switch to that character and use them to pick up things and ruttsacks , and the other character will automatically follow you. Also you don’t have to do the quests to help random survivors. Its there to resupply your community with new survivors if one dies. The other missions are to be friends with enclaves for trading, you don’t have to be friends with everyone. Think walking dead. I stayed friends with an enclave that was close to my base. The rest you can ignore.. Then there are random timed traders that have unique gear and books. Just visit them and get what you need. Its just like any other game, its a grind of a game loop. The meds, food, materials that decay are there to keep you moving and continuing the loop. Think of games with money sinks, it’s the same concept. Plus you don’t think people wouldn’t use aspirin or meds if the got a cut or injured doing some building or out scavenging? Or eat food? Use mats to build? I mean I love your vids and everything and I know it’s just your opinion on the game, maybe it’s gust not your type of game, but don’t say you can’t do something when you can.. I saw Delrith from AngryJoe say you couldn’t transfer Items from the car to base.. you have to carry them all individually, and that’s just NOT true.
You totally missed my point, this game forces you to be running all over the map constantly getting supplies as your base keeps using them and breaking stuff. Your neighbours turn on you if you don't visit and do quests for them, the infestations grow if you don't keep them under control, the supplies drop if you don't keep replenishing them, the entire game is a giant fetch quest. How the hell does that make it a good game?
That's one thing what about the rest of this piece of shit of a game?? I don't blame Xbox owners coz there's nothing else to play apart from sea of completely nothing apart from chickens
Worth A Buy i agree with you on that Mack, the game literally has the same borked system the first one did. I was just commenting on some things you said you should be able to do but you can’t, when you actually can. The game is bug riddled and poor quality with a shitty quest system where things pop up too quickly, but the devs want you to make a choice, help them or not.. I choose not to. If they come at me I blow their dam heads off lol. The infestations I grind for influence to trade with. I played the first one and didn’t expect much from this one, but it can be fun for some time if you don’t encounter many bugs.. I haven’t other than some zombies stuck in a wall.. just luck prolly, but everything else you said is spot on. Love your channel and honesty. Keep it up!
@worth a buy so you are complaining because a zombie survival game is making you search for resources. you mean almost like surviving, because god knows if you bring food back, you are never meant to use it. that is just plain restarted. just because you are not at home base, does not mean things don't get broken and need fixing, hence materials get used. someone gets an infection while fixing the base, fuck em don't use meds to heal them. all this shit is intertwined. i think what you are looking for is a game that tells you in every single detail what every single survivor does while you are out scrounging. that kind of information would eventually get tiresome to sift through. sort of like in state of decay 1 with the log, that thing was useless. it just kept filling up and i wasn't going to read through it.
LOVE that I got the intro wrong, was literally saying "oov the develupa" then was surprised with the Windows tanning, FINALLY! someone acknowledges the nightmare that is the unwanted update, new drive, new login profile that aparently I get the password wrong without touching the keyboard!? Totally bleeping unacceptable ! Anyways, you nailed the biggest zombie thing ever "bad decisions". As soon as I can afford patreon or whatever amounts to that I'm in. Thanks mac for make me feel a little less insane today
Seriously. I've had the most fun in this game the past few days I've ever had. Some people have just simply decided to hate it and shit on those that dare say they like it.
I used the free trial for the Game Pass in order to get the game. Had my brother play it. He played the first one, as did I, and he said he didn't like it. Its not just Mack's opinion that I'm basing my decision off of.
I wouldn't necessarily call everyone who reviewed it and enjoyed it a shill. Let's be real, reviews have been savage on this. It has the same metacritic rating as Sea of Thieves. Is it unacceptable to release a game with this many bugs? Definitely. But I can see why some people enjoyed it, especially if they loved the first game. Most of the more positive reviews I've seen have at least addressed the issues and helped inform people on what's wrong with it and what kind of game it is. I've yet to see a one sided positive review. Can't say the same for negative reviews though lol especially after having just watched this. Enjoyable WAB either way.
I love the game because I was expecting this to be honest, a better version or the first but I do agree with most of the things said here because it does get frustrating once you stop exploring and if you don't follow the strategy by the letter you are pretty much fucked and then you have to speed run supplies. But I'll still play it cause it's what I was expecting, state of decay 1 but looking better and more content.
dauði sigla yeah really I'm a pc gamer too yet I'm called an Xbox fanboy whenever I say good about this game. I don't really understand why everyone is so savage on this and how unfair they are.. consolers are the cancer of the gaming community.
honestly i have only encountered a small handful of bugs. for me the biggest was text would get pretty garbled. that fixed itself and doesn't happen at all now, the flash light can show some images even when there is none if front of the flash light. i have had no audio glitches, I've never had bad rag doll physics. maybe i am just lucky. the only real gripe i have is sometimes you traveling companion AI is very stupid. running away and plain flat out dissapearing for chunks of scavenging. bad button placement, euthanize not having a do you really wish to kill this npc, i had a npc die because of horrible text layout.
The problem is, even when the first game was a low budget and still won a many hardcore player's heart After many years of waiting they released another low budget game, not even on all platforms at least This game would be fine if it was released year after first one, if it haven't a Microsoft name on it.
Just got this game on sale and honestly have been enjoying it for the most part but had to see what Mack had to say about it. Lmao, I cant argue with a lot of this and he is right but I still find it a good bit of mindless fun that doesn't take much effort to play and is quite atmospheric. But a lot of the mechanics are indeed nonsensical and better not to think too much about
I'm a minute in and it looks worse than the first one. And I actually enjoyed the first one quite a bit, and was really looking forward to getting this one, but now I'm thinking I won't, it genuinely seems to have taken a turn for the worse.
Jeremy Corbin lol that's dumb, take macs advice and he even says he didn't like the first one and it's alot like the first just refined, if you liked the first game and actually have friends to play with you'll like it and it's total worth a buy, or just get gampass 14 day trial free and play it threw that
win10 store put me off more than any bugs would, A shame because i was hoping for a non-static map and some better base and character customisation. the original got a lot right but it's replayability was poor and the per-character faction system punished you heavily for using the base-storage.
Mack, Thank you for making me laugh every time I watch your videos. For an every day working guy busting his ass every day to support his family, getting a good laugh on his dinner break is priceless.
I'm not too bothered about consoles now tbh, I just want to try the PS4 exclusives I've missed now they're cheaper. I'll buy a PS5 near the end of it's cycle when it's cheap too, until then I'll keep upgrading my PC.
Mack! How did you manage to get rid of that new drive? It keeps telling me that I'm running out of space in it and it's driving me insane! (Windows 10 update)
Romar Dalauta I agree. That shit he said about his girlfriend being his zombie shooting bitch was funny as hell. Same with the people having the IQ of a plant. Honestly I've been wanting to exile clumsy people. 😂😂😂 Lucky they're useful in other ways.
hey man, I work for MS and that drive showing up is a bug. It basically gives a letter to one of the recovery partitions, making it show up in file explorer. you can use the mountvol command to fix it. Regarding automatic updates, you accept those when installing 10 home and agreeing to the terms. Can't say I agree with this, but it's the norm for most big companies nowadays.
And now 7 years later there's a whole new Windows filled to the brim with every crap they could think of and with every update they add new crap (insert the sound of a thousand bells ringing)
Is anyone really surprised by this after the first game? I loved the premise of the game but it's execution was so dumbed-down and aimed at children that I could not play it.
And that is why i reverted back to Win7. The only good windows, where every good game runs. And you don't even need openGl and GlideFX wrapper/injectors for older retro titles. Unlike in newer wintrash versions. Stick to Win7 and abandon all the crap that requires Win10! Its simply not worth the hassle. What's also not worth the hassle, is this Trash of Decay 2 title here. Look almost like the previous game. Welcome to late 2018. Barely any improvements in the gameplay department. That was the weakest part in the first game, to begin with. And it runs like horsecrap in way too many spots in the gameworld. Bad graphics, bad performance even on high end PCs, bad animations, bad UI, bad gameplay, Win10 requirement, incompetent developers³. Stay-away of this Decay! ACG fanboy gave it a free pass of course. Not the first time for this rancid YTber. Always talking big, how legit of a critic he is. And then this happens again.
Games got 3 problems. Bugs (fixed in due time and havent run into many myself), lack of real story (will be in DLC) and lackluster character model design (and thats just preference) Aside from that its great, and i can assure you ive got more time on it so far than all of these reviewers, including this jackass. He doesnt speak about games from a neutral standpoint. If theres something he dislikes, regardless of how many people would dissagree, he shits on it and says its bad because i said so and its not up for discussion. His Witcher 3 review for example. Said he hated it and called it trash, settling on a do not buy. Its one of the most highly PLAYER (not just corrupt reviewer but if it helps it wins that too) rated games out there, has won countless awards, retains a steady VERY PC playerbase for being a single player game with limited mod support and no updates for a year and a half, and is in my book hands down the best game ever made. But he didnt like it, so there you go, its a "dont buy". Review was so bad that he took it down. Go figure, shitface. Id like to see this pleb reply
A lot of what you find tedious is what I and many other fans find enjoyable. I like helping my fellow enclaves it makes the game seem more real. I like keeping control of infestations, it adds challenge. I like the gameplay and base building of the game, it is nice for me to manage my base and the health of my community. Its very effective to talk 1000mph to make the game seem shit, just give a normal review of the game hahaha. I know everyone has their opinion, but you do realise this isnt gonna be as developed the same way of a £60 game? Theres not much to defend against what youre saying because all the things youre complaining about are things I have no problem with.
I like all them things which is why I have hundreds of hours in good zombie survival games, SOD2 does all these things very badly and as a gamer you should NOT be making lame excuses for bad game design or you will just get more shit.
Worth A Buy lol all the fans were constantly shown and had discussions with the devs during the development period and I saw 100% effort at all times from the devs. Theyre a tiny bit larger than a indie studio, with a very small budget. What were you expecting? Well you dont even know the development of the game and how it went, you dont even know the studio and you dont even know what budget they had. None of this game was half arsed, although some features need fleshing out, all this will come post release when their budget allows it. Your last review of sod1 was just as ignorant as this one, the game isnt boring theres just a learning curve to it. The combat is lovely in comparison to sod1, the quests are vastly less tedious than sod1. Sod2 is just a better version of sod1. btw thats a game you reviewed without even leaving the tutorial stage, which is really stupid. The comments on the video gave you so much shit for reviewing the game based on a tutorial if you go back and check. Everyone LOVED state of decay 1. I believe you went in with shitty expectations, based on the REVIEW OF THE TUTORIAL you did in sod1 and regardless of whether or not this game vastly improves on the original, its obvious you were ALWAYS going to give a bad review from the get go.
lol calls him dumbass for leaving his thoughts. People like you are the reason gaming is so toxic now. Go play some overwatch or something, or chill the fuck out. also, macks reviews are not objective at all lol. The guy bitches more than he explains shit. He just whines.
This is why I unsubbed from him. Any one who enjoys a game that he does not is "stupid" or a casual shill, etc, and then he berates anyone who disagrees. Want a good reviewer? Watch ACG. That guy does not lose his shit and whine and compain every 10 secs because oh no, its not a game I like. Mack is not objective. He just states an opinion. That's not reviewing. Reviewing is supposed to be objective, not " I dont like this so its shit and anyone who likes it is a shill wahhhhhh". If he wants to vote thumbs down, for sure, thats his right. However insulting anyone who likes it is just pathetic.
No worries, dude, at least your are reasonable unlike most youtube commenters :). See, you may think they are broken or shallow etc, but not everyone will.. For example, mack and I both loved kingdom come deliverance even tho critically it was panned for its bugs etc..You think sod 2 is bad? Check out that game. It's a mess, but a glorious mess it is lol. Let people praise or hate what they like. People these days talk about how "gaming these days is so bad" etc. Forgetting that lots of old games sucked. Diakatana anyone? There are good and bad games in every generation of games. Gaming is just a lot bigger now and there are MORE games both good and bad. So yea you see a lot more bad ones, but you also see a lot more good ones. (doom, witcher, alien isolation, etc) There will always be good games, and bad games, and people that like and dislike them. For example I HATED bioshock, and found it to be worse than system shock 2 (which i LOVED to death). However I would never bash anyone for liking it, and overall its universally praised. I don't get it, but to each their own. I wont disagree, some of macks reviews are great. The thumbs up ones are usually good. His review of kingdom come hit the nail on the head for me. I like this game/dislike this game :good review I like/dislike this game and anyone who disagrees is an idiot/shill/stupid :bad review If mack would just tone it down a bit I would have no problem. He makes some good points about wallhacks being built in to games etc. I do not hate the guy or anything.
Gene Parmesan it's really no wonder the ps4 is destroying the Xbox God of war is at 95% on metric it's one great exclusive after another horizon zero dawn got 9s out of 10 on most reviews
Stephen Searles Microsoft has to stop making games to make money and start making games people want to play. Stop trying to pump up unfinished games to sell console s and focus on getting ONE good game. One good Xbox exclusive is what they really need and they are failing by making a bunch of mediocre exclusives, spreading themselves too thin.
Gene Parmesan I know that's true I was really interested in scalebound but that got cancelled, that's when I sold my Xbox and got ps4 and haven't yet regretted it once, we've had a lot of great exclusives from horizon God or war bloodborne uncharted 4 the list goes on, and then there's the last of us 2 on the way, spiderman which is going to be huge
Stephen Searles I sold my Xbox for a PS4 pro and absolutely love it. Also, I've had zero problems with it, ease of use is why I use console s. Best decision ever was letting go of Microsoft for PlayStation, I grew up with Xbox being better than ps2, I used that thing for so many hours. My friends and I would have fights over the two console s. Then 360 came out and mine had red ring, but I let that go and got it fixed , I forgot and forgave. After 2 red rings I finally got a working 360 and it was truly next gen back when it first came out. I remember thinking sony will never be able to recover from the ps3s lackluster response from gamers. Not only is PlayStation back on top , Microsoft is digging it's own grave. It's legit painful to watch. Failure after failure. Sales so bad they can't even release the numbers because it will scare anyone with half a brain away.
Gene Parmesan yep completely agree with you, and every Xbox owner says the same thing oh but the x is much more powerful than the pro!!! So what id rather have a less powerful console with amazing games on it any day, I've just bought the ps4 pro God of war edition and loving it, God of war on a 4k HDR tv looks great
Summary:
It's a game that forces you to play it in a way that makes no sense what so ever with a community that lacks even the basic common sense. The map is just a copy and paste zone of capturable plots that are essential for your base, it forces you to cap them while also giving you a shit load of other tasks of equal importance. Failure to do any of the tasks will make your game very hard to do, fail to visit new survivors will usually make them hostile, failure to destroy an infestation will result in base attacks and the infestation growing, failure to collect enough resources will result in people leaving your community and any failure at anything will result in morale going down in your community which also has dire consequences.
In order to do all the above you literally have to rush around the map like a blue arsed fly, rushing from job to job then hearing your radio crackle to life with another identical job, rinse and repeat over and over, utterly boring.
Then we have the bugs, so many bugs, loot bugs, clipping bugs, Ai bugs, door bugs, quest bugs, UI bugs, you name it there is a bug for it. I fail to believe this game had any testing, it's a mess!
The combat is clunky, you often find yourself swinging away hoping to connect with a nearby zombie, the game auto turns you to hit nearby Zeds and X-Ray vision is rife in the form of tags. The gun play is ok for a third person game which means it's shite compared to a FPS but it is what it is.
Coop is a joke, you can't have your friends help build and use your base, they are also tethered to you which basically makes them just another hired gun while you do all the base management, it's a joke for 2018, even indie games have better coop than this trash.
Overall this game feels like it has had very little love during development, it's just a copy and paste from SOD with very little new content added, it could have been so much better and am pleased most reviewers (except the usual shills) have dared to speak the truth about this game despite the fear of attacks from the Xbox community.
Worth A Buy you should wab supreme ruler on steam and any news on mackcornner
Worth A Buy Mack review Raft on steam.. its a survival game like Subnautica
Could be worse Mac the update killed my laptop.
Mack First of all thank you for your honest Facts an hands review of games. I wait usually see what give it. An sadly I m not PC gamer just Xbox gamer. I do have a X Xbox. I am Soo disappointed with games all I have is third party games an Say I m fine with that I die inside as Gamer just furious How Microsoft doing this generation I refuse to buy shit an support shit of rushed game. I hope big things for E3 but its looking grim. Thank you Mack for your all your reviews an hard work.
For inventory and management game this is flawed in a technical point. Who thought it was reasonable to have to switch characters in order to get items or get cured? You should be able to trade with your AI like you do in EVERY SINGLE GAME that has an inventory.
RIP Total Biscuit, so sad to hear he lost his battle against cancer tonight, he found it with courage and dignity and I never once heard him moaning about it. A huge loss to the gaming industry, he made a difference. The news broke while I was streaming and the whole atmosphere of the stream just dropped like a stone, this is how well respected he was among gamers.
I love it when he hates a game. Shit is hilarious!
amount of info drop in the video is impressive. even now something new :)

Windows 10... Is it worth a buy? Let's read...
Windows 10 is an early access open world digital survival game, set in the post apocalyptic world of Windows 8.1. Craft your own solutions to bugs, survive terrifying data destroying crashes, contend with hunger and thirst as you redo a week's worth of work, and battle the enigmatic forces of customer support... Will your nerves make it out alive???
Hahaha XD
looool this is golden
The is the best windoes 10 review
One of the best commens i ever read on a Mack video.
I usually pirate all my windows OSs since the early 2000s, but it seems Win10 is not even worth pirating.
Can you do a review about Windows 11? I'm not sure if I should purchase or not.
The first 30 seconds earned a like
Lolololololol he popped off
@@S-TeC84 ahahahaha ding is very funny
Xbox is PS4's best marketing strategy.
This is amazing
Until they chose to adopt Xbox's greedy pay for multiplayer scam. They really could have taken advantage of this but instead chose to embrace this sick practice. I decided back then when I heard of it that I was never going to return to consoles after that.
Correct. Pumped to play Detroit Become Human
Glad to see you’re a fan of Mack!
RIGHT!
State of Decay, pretty much self explanatory to be honest

"OOPS! Accidentally spilled important medical supplies"
*5 minutes later*
"OH MAN accidentally broke important crafting material"
Even after you get the shit you need, the game just goes on and quickly breaks it so as to send you out for more fetch quest.
"There is a bug for everything, bugs and bad decisions" - love that line, stealing it for work!
That rant at the beginning tho. Guess I'm gonna stick with Windows 7 for a while longer lol
For life
It's literally impossible to stick with Windows 7 for life because after MS stops officially supporting it, then so will makers of hardware and software. For example, try finding a modern GPU driver that is compatible with Windows XP. It can't be done, there is no such thing, because NVIDIA and AMD decided not to offer any. Windows 7 will inevitably follow in the same footsteps, it's only a matter of time.
And alternative OSes always suck real bad for gaming. So if you wish to remain a gamer, you will eventually be forced to use whatever latest piece of crap OS that MS is pushing.
Try actually daily driving W10 for a period of time, it's honestly the best operating system upgrade I've had/went through in my PC using experience(dating back to ancient W3.1) and isn't anything like what some make it out to be. The Windows update that broke some Intel SSDs is what it is - and, since Microsoft still currently supports W7, such an incident could occur - but the odds of these incidents biting you are always rare(these things are obviously tested before being rolled out, but they can't always catch everything obviously). But, straight up FUNCTIONALLY, as far as day to day usability is concerned, W10 has been pretty fantastic IMO. It's as functionally clean as W7, nearly as lightweight(not that it matters much now - browsers at the least are bound to eat up all your fucking resources), and the upgrade from W7 to W10 is as seamless as it gets(not hyperbole - I really haven't experienced another upgrade that's as problem free).
Form your opinions through your own experience(and, really, like a solid week of daily driver use to REALLY try it out), not from others opinions
I'm a huge proponent of free & open source software, I have a coreboot IBM Thinkpad with Manjaro linux on it. For games I have a windows 10 high end box and an xbox one s. I used to run A debian + virtEmu windows virtual machine for games, it ran even better than installed on bare metal in some games, but convenience wins every time (hence the xbox, i do have x360 controllers and a steam controller). Windows 10 is the best current gaming OS unfortunately, no way around that except virtualizing it, even then you're still using it :).
I suggest having machines for specific tasks, win10 / console for gaming, slower laptop for work/normal use. It's not more expensive if you get a cheap second hand laptop and repair that, it's environmentally friendly do that anyway.
You will get extra 10 FPS on windows 10 with shit ton of bugs.............. :)
The rant at the beginning finished me hahaha
If you watch 8:30 - 8:40 check out the dots on the map the zombies teleport to the other side out of nowhere
Wow Xbox can't get anything right at the mo. Terrible exclusive after terrible exclusive.
Not a Sony fanboy at all but when you compare utter shit like Sea of Thieves and this to God Of War, it really is night and day.
Lee K r.i.p xbox
the investors are putting pressure on the developers. its allways the same. then, suddenly, the developer shits on the project because of the pressure. else i cant say why xbox games are shitty af. even halo.
IT has plenty right re services: game pass, back compat etc; in that regard Xbox is kicking the living tits out of Sony. They showed 42 games last e3, many of which are far more interesting than Sony's cookie-cutter third person cinematic snoozefests (im thinking about below, ooblets, last night, artful escape, cuphead, ori 2, et al), you know, actual original games
10.11% of games on PS4 are exclusive, and 8.03% of big releases are exclusive. 1.59% of all games on PS4 are exclusives with 40+ reviews averaging a score of 80% or higher.
4.29% of games on the Xbox One are exclusive, and 1.68% of their big releases are exclusive. 0.42% of all games on the Xbox One are exclusives with 40+ reviews averaging a score of 80% or higher.
^
The above are facts. Again, not a Sony fanboy, but rather a consumer who struggles to find a single game to buy on XB1.
they even manage the fuck up on Halo(how can you destroy Halo srsly...) with req points,skin sells,shitty campaign, i also don't like Sony(because their scummy attitude on psnetwork at my country) but Xbox is beyond shit.
Microsoft. Killing the Xbox with one game at a time.
It's really sad, I have the OneX and have my TV through it, I love the console, play RDR on it a fair bit and wish I had some other games to just chill out and play when am away from the PC, shame most recent games are sucking.
They have the platform, but the content, just... [SIGH]
But god of war really is unoriginal, it's not really as boring as the king of boredom Sea of Thieves or even this, but at least it's not buggy and has decent gameplay. I have an Xbox and I can't deny how terribly unfinished and boring they can make these games just to please the 'exclusive' crowd. Exclusives are a bad thing to all gamers, these are great examples of what can go wrong.
ugh for fuck sakes, Microsoft does not own undead labs. you cannot hold them responsible for a third party exclusive.
demonpride1975 Microsoft does own Undead labs google it
It's basically State of decay 1.7
Well I'm loving it and 12hrs in so far. It's a plate spinning zombie survival simulation, you're never meant to feel comfortable. You can potter about at your own pace if you wish, failed quests for enclaves will crop up again as will survivors needing help. In fact it's pretty kind in letting you play how you want. The complaints about bugs are over exaggerated, none have been particularly bad for me. I like how it follows 7days to die formula of the longer you survive the better the loot that spawns and the more difficult and numerous the zombies get. It's not a AAA title, it's mid range and for the amount of replayability and size it offers it's a steal. I accept it's a marmite game though but if you liked the first one you'll fucking love this.
After a 👎 for Assassins Creed Origins, Shadow of War and State of Decay 2 and numerous 👍 for obscure PC strategy shite I'm beginning to question Mr bell ringer's judgement 😔
I didn't reply to you as your poorly worded reply didn't make it obvious what you were talking about. As I said, the game doesn't let you feel comfortable and missed quests do have a consequence but will eventually recycle as they did in the first game. You quote nothing really matters but those weren't my words, they're yours. Enclaves will leave if you ignore their quests as will survivors. You're free to ignore all that stuff but it'll make the game harder. The choice is yours. Clearer for you? Assassin's Creed Origins is widely regarded as one of the best in the series. I enjoyed it and I loved Shadow of War. Critics seen to love getting all huffy about loot crates and forget the games are fun regardless.
If your spending time gathering food in this game... then your doing it wrong. "Only zombies that are remotely a threat are feral zombies and large hordes," - its a zombie game, of course hordes are the only threat. "which even then you can easily deal with by just dodging constantly" - you somehow have infinite stamina? nice. "Plague zombies are so fucking common that I have more samples than I know what to do with, so cures aren’t a problem, " - your not actually killing the plague hearts are you? explains why your low moral survivors are RNGing your stuff in base. "So far the only punishment for not doing missions is some groups become hostile towards you" - Yep, if you ignore losing potential survivors and any positive bonuses that allied enclave would have given you - your punishment is the game is now a little harder. "I’m constantly having specific controls like crouching and vaulting flat out stop working " - this is probably due to your "infinite" stamina.
I'm on my 3rd play through now and over 70hrs on it 😵. My only real complaint is the same as the first game: it's too easy. Once you've got all the skills and meds the only real danger is your own incompetence. Hopefully they'll add a hard mode with 2x or 3x damage or incurable blood plague.
@@captaincluster316 I heard they add the lethal difficulty.
As a Plant, i find that offensive.
PS: Mack your the BEST
I just woke up and this is the first thing I saw. Love the intro by the way
EJ Garza 2 Weeks no mic thx w10 update f* privacy settings.
Before I even watch the video my prediction is mack is going to hate this game a lot
The Synth Potato well done
The Synth Potato You weren't wrong xD
Cameron Kirby yeah I mean mack's taste in games is pretty predicable at this point xD
kinda makes you wonder something, like oh i don't know does he have a biased hatred, almost seems that way. which means you cannot expect a fair review.
demonpride1975 He's not biased, just know what kind of games he likes and doesn't like.
I actually liked this game at first but then the tutorial (story lol) ends and it's "secure territory"
Zombies having sex had me laughing out loud 😂
That's the reason I still use Windows 7 :)
That's the *only one of the reasons* I switched to GNU\Linux years ago and never looked back.
Win 7 will lose support soon
Yeah who needs directX graphics dont make a game, the gameplay dose, i got unreal gold yesterday for free from gog only need to find a patch for it and its hours of SKILLED fps
As for shoving it down our throuts i doubt i have a legit win 7 install disc with a key all i need to do is get all updates until the final day save on a flash drive and that's about it, NEVER HAVE AUTO UPDATES ENABLED FUCK RECOMMANDED IT SUCKS
AnonymousGaming you can try to find a torrent. On piratebay or the new kickass domain i forgot the url tho not near the pc ATM
How is updated win 7 bad ?
I don’t care if this video is six years old. A good rant is a good rant.
Microsoft presents - State of Decay: Another one.
Pretty much the same buggy mess we got 6 years ago with a few new animations thrown in and co op
So true about that update thing.
Omfg it's annoying, like i wanna turn my computer off to go to bed but NAH it's gotta do updates for another 30 minutes so i gotta wait for it to finish then get out of bed again to turn off my PC.
Ernest J. Rutherford: The Father of Nuclear Physics disable updates
I still have my win 7 [along with my entire rig] still from 2011 DISABLE THOSE UPDATES forget that it says not recommanded or anything like that just do it.
Also why do you turn it off when you go to sleep?
My rig is running 24/7 is it bad ? I only turn off the monitor by hitting the button on the side pannel of it
[Confirmed] - plants have brain cells
Mack did you record a livestream of you playing this? Would love to see it.
First time I have to disagree mac, I'm really enjoying it. Especially after loving the first one.
However, I do agree with how it feels like you can't breath, because fetch quests are on a timer you feel you can't do anything but do the quests
And that is the main reason I don't like it.
Worth A Buy fair enough mate, I can understand that
I like it too, though I am not going to get it if I can't play it without Win10 and on steam.
I enjoy the game. I feel like you may have needed to do more research on how to play as it doesn't hold your hand.
You don't have to do the fetch quests. You also can trade items with the enclave to get influence points. Killing plague hearts also gives influence.
If you just don't like a game instructions won't help though. I get it.
Let's read let's read the words the words
i think its pretty clear at this point that undead labs doesnt have the talent to create the game they want to make. wouldnt be surprised to see them go under honestly
that opening was awesome, I write that as someone who's laptop just took 12 hours and two failed attempts to update whilst trying to work..
Raumarik he broke the bell dude!
I feel you with the latest forced windows 10 update. I didn't accept it and it did it anyway in the middle of the night, screwing up my computer which wouldn't start in windows anymore, and I would get an infinite rollback screen... I had to reinstall everything!! F*** U MICROSOFT!!
Why don't you give Linux a try? It's awesome.
Rooster More than one reason sadly. The first and the more obvious one is that I'm used to Windows since I'm 8 and I'm 30 now... So it's hard to change your habits just like that. Second and third reasons are that I do a lot of gaming and professional video editing and Linux doesn't offer the support required for me to be satisfied in those two categories. I did try it though, but Windows is just more mature for that. And in general the performance on Windows 10 are pretty good, the problem is that they don't let you keep full control of your PC and that sucks. I just watched a tutorial to prevent Windows to do any update ever. That's f up that I have to do that in order to prevent Windows to control my PC whenever it wants. Even Mac isn't that pushy regarding updates.
Well I used Windows from 8-23 and changing was a breeze for me. Also, there are ton of Linux distros which look and work pretty much like Windows when it comes to UE.
For the gaming, I don't really agree as my Linux Steam library is full of great games I can't find time to play. But I get ya. In the end it all comes down to if you are willing to put up with all the shit Microsoft has you put up with when using their non free product. I wasn't. For me, me and PC is always a lord and servant type of relationship. I'm the lord, while PC is supposed to be the servant. With Windows I didn't get the feeling that was it.
I just found this channel a few days ago. Funny as shit listening to this bloke gettin so angry and hitting the bell all the time. He be getting heated over the littlest shit 😂
MAck Im doing my homework right know.. But suddenly ur notification pop out so i decided to watch ur video first :D
Good lad/Lass
I had the same thing this week: Windows 10 update created a new 400mb partition and put 360mb of hidden stuff in it. Windows kept telling me this new partition was low on space, with constant popup warnings. I had to hunt down solutions too, but a lot of people who aren't confident with computers are going to be stuck with it until MS fix it. Very crappy.
some critiques are valid like the bugs and stupid AI. The rest feels like it's just not game for you. Didn't like the first one, why would you like this one?
pretty much this. Whether it's a good game or not he already went into it with a negative opinion because he hates the first one. And people love the first game. all this is is a much improved first game. Just of course alot buggier, even though I have experienced none, guess I'm just lucky. There not going to change the way their game plays just for him.
Yep. It's a shame with the bugs but nothing new in games today AND it's low budget title with a matching price. I'm on ps4 so I haven't played it but loved the first one and this one actually makes me wanna get a xbox.
Haven't had problems with coop at all, but then again alot of people simply don't know for peer to peer games you have to have an open nat.
Yeah, it's like reviewing an Avengers movie when you say first off you hate Avengers movies - you hate the actors, the writers and the director. Probably shouldn't be reviewing it.
I saw this review coming a mile away. Im actually having fun with this game and their discord community has loads of good people in it. Everything Mack said is true, as always, but im 25 hours in and enjoying it a lot. Keep doing you Mack!
Really fun game, played it last year and had a blast. N its still being updated every month. I'll actually buy 3 when it comes out.
I have never laughed that hard at a review video before in my life lol
Many of the bad points Mack was talking about are still in the game, but it's still a lot of fun to play with friends.
I love the game actually. I am enjoying the gameplay loop guite a bit. Maybe it is just not for everyone but I like it.
he hate first game so will hate this , the game not bad i see its amazing , About bugs as always get fixed at the end not that bad .
I think the worst bugs are an Xbox issue since I have not encountered any gamebreakers so far on PC. And I have played about 40 hours now. On my way to get my second Group up.
Ackwell I've only seen the horizontal line. Other than that it's been running pretty smooth on my PC
I guess you like babysitting.
There is constantly something to do in the game. I like it, keeps you busy. I have too much time to spare in my life right now to begin with so maybe it is just the game for me right now. Joshua, yes I have seen that horizontal line too. Not a huge gamebreaker IMO. :)
Thank Fuck for that intro! After the new shitty update I was left a 449mb hard drive that was constantly popping up LOW DISC SPACE. I thought It was only me!
I think mac almost BROKE HIS BELL . HAAHAAA
Mack do you run a macro to assign your keys every time. Or do you manually change the settings for each game?
Love your reviews but glad I got the game before watching this because I enjoy the game haha
what's the music that's used in the outro?
I actually loved it, played last year and it has improved with monthly updates. Mack is pretty close tho on alot of it. At release it was probably a mess.
How did you get rid of the drive the windows update added ^^? Constantly get notified that the drive space is nearly full and can't remove it in drive management settings thingy
😂 I loved the first one, and I am addicted to 2nd, think its better in every way. But I like to see you so vocal and love it when you dislike a game 👍 entertainment.
Sry its a late reply but since you play it. I feel like when it comes to the people management he just did all wrong when talking about stealing. Its the population using up supplies over time not stealing you have to outfit each survivor with the load out you want for each survivor at least from what i remember.
Worth revisiting this game. Was so boring when it came out but I love it now.
should i buy
@@Outlawx19 Would recommend Game Pass
@@BlackHaloMan869 bought it for 15$ it’s amazing
what?
you can administer the cure to yourself without selecting another character, and also just hit B and you can pick and use the infirmary without going to it, or any other facility as well...
when you have a helper come with you they also will loot while they are out with you and protect you while you scavenge, but other than that yeah they are useless and it would be better and make sense if you could load them up too
the supplies don't just vanish either, your people will even tell you why the certain resource is gone. a horde that headed to your base while you weren't there and your people used the ammo to protect themselves. I mean yeah it took like 2 ammo away from you but it doesn't pick the same resource often and its kinda an imagination thing to feel like damn they are working even without me there.
the outpost generates resources or gives your base some ability, and you're upset it costs 300 points? one of those outpost types is an artillery strike, that's a serious advantage to have obviously and you just want it because you killed 2 or 3 zombies and you got to the flag lol? also you even get thousands of those points over a short amount of time, i feel like that's a really odd negative thing to say..
I stopped watching there and just found the video more of a personal problem with these types and styles of games, although ill definitely give you the fact that its stupidly repetitive and holy mother of god the bugs are bad on pc lol..
And this ladies and gentlemen is why we get more shitty games like this.
Worth A Buy He is right.
Ye, pretty clueless review, IGN level even. But atleast it was a rant and i missed that
The game is "stupidly repetitive" and yet you think this is only personal problem.
That is called horrible game design that you should be payed to waste your time with.
Any review that gives this crap a pass has no concept of what a game should be like.
Anything repetitive in a game better be fun and whoever the moron that made the game did not know that.
Only morons think fetch quests and killing the same lame zombie is fun.
Worth a buy going with the SJW Response
Yesterday I was playing WoW, fighting some mobs and Windows pulled me out of the game to show me the update pop-up. I mistakenly pressed on "Restart now" instead of "Remind me later" and Windows instantly started to restart and update. Judging by the progression screen I saw that it will take a very long time and had no other choice than to go to bed. My character probably died as well.
Firstly, loved the video, I appreciate your unbiased honesty and funny commentary 😁 I agree many many things wrong with this game, poor decisions and co-op is a mess. It's not really co-op tbh. But, I'm slowly enjoying the game, having survived 14 days & winning half the achievements. It can be atmospheric in single player, and I've gone from hating it, to looking forward to playing it more. No doubt the dumb community I represent will fuck things up and they'll all die, but so far ... I'm persevering. Keep up the good work though, love your videos 👍
Picked a bundle for both SOD1+2 for 18$. I would say many of these issues described here are gone now
Im sry mack, but i don’t think you played the game past the tutorial. Many things you said are just wrong. You CAN heal a character without switching by entering the infirmary after the tutorial. Just walk up, create cure and use it. Also you can use your followers to carry things, just switch to that character and use them to pick up things and ruttsacks , and the other character will automatically follow you. Also you don’t have to do the quests to help random survivors. Its there to resupply your community with new survivors if one dies. The other missions are to be friends with enclaves for trading, you don’t have to be friends with everyone. Think walking dead. I stayed friends with an enclave that was close to my base. The rest you can ignore.. Then there are random timed traders that have unique gear and books. Just visit them and get what you need. Its just like any other game, its a grind of a game loop. The meds, food, materials that decay are there to keep you moving and continuing the loop. Think of games with money sinks, it’s the same concept. Plus you don’t think people wouldn’t use aspirin or meds if the got a cut or injured doing some building or out scavenging? Or eat food? Use mats to build? I mean I love your vids and everything and I know it’s just your opinion on the game, maybe it’s gust not your type of game, but don’t say you can’t do something when you can.. I saw Delrith from AngryJoe say you couldn’t transfer Items from the car to base.. you have to carry them all individually, and that’s just NOT true.
You totally missed my point, this game forces you to be running all over the map constantly getting supplies as your base keeps using them and breaking stuff. Your neighbours turn on you if you don't visit and do quests for them, the infestations grow if you don't keep them under control, the supplies drop if you don't keep replenishing them, the entire game is a giant fetch quest. How the hell does that make it a good game?
That's one thing what about the rest of this piece of shit of a game?? I don't blame Xbox owners coz there's nothing else to play apart from sea of completely nothing apart from chickens
Worth A Buy i agree with you on that Mack, the game literally has the same borked system the first one did. I was just commenting on some things you said you should be able to do but you can’t, when you actually can. The game is bug riddled and poor quality with a shitty quest system where things pop up too quickly, but the devs want you to make a choice, help them or not.. I choose not to. If they come at me I blow their dam heads off lol. The infestations I grind for influence to trade with. I played the first one and didn’t expect much from this one, but it can be fun for some time if you don’t encounter many bugs.. I haven’t other than some zombies stuck in a wall.. just luck prolly, but everything else you said is spot on. Love your channel and honesty. Keep it up!
@worth a buy so you are complaining because a zombie survival game is making you search for resources. you mean almost like surviving, because god knows if you bring food back, you are never meant to use it. that is just plain restarted. just because you are not at home base, does not mean things don't get broken and need fixing, hence materials get used. someone gets an infection while fixing the base, fuck em don't use meds to heal them. all this shit is intertwined.
i think what you are looking for is a game that tells you in every single detail what every single survivor does while you are out scrounging. that kind of information would eventually get tiresome to sift through. sort of like in state of decay 1 with the log, that thing was useless. it just kept filling up and i wasn't going to read through it.
LOVE that I got the intro wrong, was literally saying "oov the develupa" then was surprised with the Windows tanning, FINALLY! someone acknowledges the nightmare that is the unwanted update, new drive, new login profile that aparently I get the password wrong without touching the keyboard!? Totally bleeping unacceptable ! Anyways, you nailed the biggest zombie thing ever "bad decisions". As soon as I can afford patreon or whatever amounts to that I'm in. Thanks mac for make me feel a little less insane today
Almost bought it.
Glad I didn't.
Thanks Mack!
It's really not that bad you should try it on Game Pass
Seriously. I've had the most fun in this game the past few days I've ever had. Some people have just simply decided to hate it and shit on those that dare say they like it.
Dude, your analyzing your choice through his negative thoughts. He's probably a dominant Sony player
I used the free trial for the Game Pass in order to get the game. Had my brother play it. He played the first one, as did I, and he said he didn't like it. Its not just Mack's opinion that I'm basing my decision off of.
dude just try it, this review was extremely biased. The game is good and definitely worth buying
I laughed so hard at this review, and then I realized, “OH SHIT.” I just bought it, but hadn’t opened it yet!
I wouldn't necessarily call everyone who reviewed it and enjoyed it a shill. Let's be real, reviews have been savage on this. It has the same metacritic rating as Sea of Thieves. Is it unacceptable to release a game with this many bugs? Definitely.
But I can see why some people enjoyed it, especially if they loved the first game. Most of the more positive reviews I've seen have at least addressed the issues and helped inform people on what's wrong with it and what kind of game it is. I've yet to see a one sided positive review. Can't say the same for negative reviews though lol especially after having just watched this.
Enjoyable WAB either way.
Many casuals out there and xbox fans desperate so they defend it then paid off reviewers yes very common place.
I love the game because I was expecting this to be honest, a better version or the first but I do agree with most of the things said here because it does get frustrating once you stop exploring and if you don't follow the strategy by the letter you are pretty much fucked and then you have to speed run supplies. But I'll still play it cause it's what I was expecting, state of decay 1 but looking better and more content.
dauði sigla yeah really I'm a pc gamer too yet I'm called an Xbox fanboy whenever I say good about this game. I don't really understand why everyone is so savage on this and how unfair they are.. consolers are the cancer of the gaming community.
honestly i have only encountered a small handful of bugs. for me the biggest was text would get pretty garbled. that fixed itself and doesn't happen at all now, the flash light can show some images even when there is none if front of the flash light.
i have had no audio glitches, I've never had bad rag doll physics. maybe i am just lucky.
the only real gripe i have is sometimes you traveling companion AI is very stupid. running away and plain flat out dissapearing for chunks of scavenging. bad button placement, euthanize not having a do you really wish to kill this npc, i had a npc die because of horrible text layout.
The problem is, even when the first game was a low budget and still won a many hardcore player's heart
After many years of waiting they released another low budget game, not even on all platforms at least
This game would be fine if it was released year after first one, if it haven't a Microsoft name on it.
Just got this game on sale and honestly have been enjoying it for the most part but had to see what Mack had to say about it. Lmao, I cant argue with a lot of this and he is right but I still find it a good bit of mindless fun that doesn't take much effort to play and is quite atmospheric. But a lot of the mechanics are indeed nonsensical and better not to think too much about
I'm a minute in and it looks worse than the first one. And I actually enjoyed the first one quite a bit, and was really looking forward to getting this one, but now I'm thinking I won't, it genuinely seems to have taken a turn for the worse.
Jeremy Corbin lol that's dumb, take macs advice and he even says he didn't like the first one and it's alot like the first just refined, if you liked the first game and actually have friends to play with you'll like it and it's total worth a buy, or just get gampass 14 day trial free and play it threw that
definitely agree, the first game feels more polished than this one, and with all the dlc it has arguably more to do..
Fuck off Jezza, no one likes you.
"refined" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
win10 store put me off more than any bugs would, A shame because i was hoping for a non-static map and some better base and character customisation. the original got a lot right but it's replayability was poor and the per-character faction system punished you heavily for using the base-storage.
Mack, Thank you for making me laugh every time I watch your videos. For an every day working guy busting his ass every day to support his family, getting a good laugh on his dinner break is priceless.
"PS4 has God of War and Xbox gets this."
Ohh god, so glad I sold my Xbone last year and built a PC. Might have to buy a PS4 too...
Winston Wolfe no point if there gonna bring out the ps5 out in the next couple years
I'm not too bothered about consoles now tbh, I just want to try the PS4 exclusives I've missed now they're cheaper. I'll buy a PS5 near the end of it's cycle when it's cheap too, until then I'll keep upgrading my PC.
GOW was f*cking trash, how many times do I have to speak the truth
Mack! How did you manage to get rid of that new drive? It keeps telling me that I'm running out of space in it and it's driving me insane! (Windows 10 update)
10 year old console game is exactly what it is xD
This is the only channel I listen to because it isn’t one sided and it is funny. Keep up the work
They made this game so much better since this review. You should give it another try
the "coop mode" is still dog poo.
State of Decay 2 = babysitting.. " im depressed, im sad, im mad, im hungry, help i need help, im sleepy, FUCK!!"
I love this game, because it's one of the best zombie survival out there, but this review cracked me up lolol
Romar Dalauta I agree. That shit he said about his girlfriend being his zombie shooting bitch was funny as hell. Same with the people having the IQ of a plant. Honestly I've been wanting to exile clumsy people. 😂😂😂 Lucky they're useful in other ways.
I bought this on sale for 6 quid and I feel I was robbed.
Metal Gear Survive > State of Decay 2, Change my mind!!
Dorin Calin i like state of decay 2 and playing it right now. It’s gotten a lot better.
Metal Gear Survive is garbage.
hey man, I work for MS and that drive showing up is a bug. It basically gives a letter to one of the recovery partitions, making it show up in file explorer. you can use the mountvol command to fix it. Regarding automatic updates, you accept those when installing 10 home and agreeing to the terms. Can't say I agree with this, but it's the norm for most big companies nowadays.
Xbox E3 2018 will take place at a cemetery... RIP.
That Microsoft rant= gold. They always put shit nobody asked for, updates filled with pointless shite.
And now 7 years later there's a whole new Windows filled to the brim with every crap they could think of and with every update they add new crap (insert the sound of a thousand bells ringing)
Once again an entertaining video
Bruh this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen “ the guy on the radio hey wann grade no I have these missions and then there’s survivors...”
State of Decay > 7 days to Day
Not on PC
ACG loved this so much, he made a follow up video explaining the genius of the gameplay systems.
Thank god my HDD is too full for the windows update ( Also been looking forward to this review )
LMFAO, that fucking intro. Lol, I'm dead
Windows 7 FTW
Windows 7 had just as many backdoors. Its been bad since XP. Use open-source software.
@bill hill you can turn telemetry off.
I switched to GNU/Linux because of how shit Win7 was. I can't even begin to imagine what a pile of bantha piss Win10 must be then.
OMG what am I doing. It is 4:53 am right now. I've been watching your videos from part 1 till 45 straigt and just can't stop keep watching xD
Is anyone really surprised by this after the first game?
I loved the premise of the game but it's execution was so dumbed-down and aimed at children that I could not play it.
if i leave my laptop turned off will it stop the update my pc is fine its on windows 7 but my laptop is on windows 10
And that is why i reverted back to Win7. The only good windows, where every good game runs. And you don't even need openGl and GlideFX wrapper/injectors for older retro titles. Unlike in newer wintrash versions. Stick to Win7 and abandon all the crap that requires Win10! Its simply not worth the hassle.
What's also not worth the hassle, is this Trash of Decay 2 title here. Look almost like the previous game. Welcome to late 2018. Barely any improvements in the gameplay department. That was the weakest part in the first game, to begin with. And it runs like horsecrap in way too many spots in the gameworld.
Bad graphics, bad performance even on high end PCs, bad animations, bad UI, bad gameplay, Win10 requirement, incompetent developers³. Stay-away of this Decay!
ACG fanboy gave it a free pass of course. Not the first time for this rancid YTber. Always talking big, how legit of a critic he is. And then this happens again.
12:08 "Skunks have a smelly arse" Ha! Wouldn't it be funny if they put that as a reason to buy it.
Games got 3 problems. Bugs (fixed in due time and havent run into many myself), lack of real story (will be in DLC) and lackluster character model design (and thats just preference) Aside from that its great, and i can assure you ive got more time on it so far than all of these reviewers, including this jackass.
He doesnt speak about games from a neutral standpoint. If theres something he dislikes, regardless of how many people would dissagree, he shits on it and says its bad because i said so and its not up for discussion.
His Witcher 3 review for example. Said he hated it and called it trash, settling on a do not buy. Its one of the most highly PLAYER (not just corrupt reviewer but if it helps it wins that too) rated games out there, has won countless awards, retains a steady VERY PC playerbase for being a single player game with limited mod support and no updates for a year and a half, and is in my book hands down the best game ever made. But he didnt like it, so there you go, its a "dont buy". Review was so bad that he took it down. Go figure, shitface.
Id like to see this pleb reply
With Mack having been living rent free in your head for so long, do you sometimes wake up hearing the ringing of his bell?
I would agree on the witcher part but this game is proper trash
"All the characters are there just to troll you " hahaha made me laugh
A lot of what you find tedious is what I and many other fans find enjoyable.
I like helping my fellow enclaves it makes the game seem more real.
I like keeping control of infestations, it adds challenge.
I like the gameplay and base building of the game, it is nice for me to manage my base and the health of my community.
Its very effective to talk 1000mph to make the game seem shit, just give a normal review of the game hahaha.
I know everyone has their opinion, but you do realise this isnt gonna be as developed the same way of a £60 game?
Theres not much to defend against what youre saying because all the things youre complaining about are things I have no problem with.
Passive-aggression 10/10
I like all them things which is why I have hundreds of hours in good zombie survival games, SOD2 does all these things very badly and as a gamer you should NOT be making lame excuses for bad game design or you will just get more shit.
Worth A Buy lol all the fans were constantly shown and had discussions with the devs during the development period and I saw 100% effort at all times from the devs.
Theyre a tiny bit larger than a indie studio, with a very small budget. What were you expecting? Well you dont even know the development of the game and how it went, you dont even know the studio and you dont even know what budget they had.
None of this game was half arsed, although some features need fleshing out, all this will come post release when their budget allows it.
Your last review of sod1 was just as ignorant as this one, the game isnt boring theres just a learning curve to it. The combat is lovely in comparison to sod1, the quests are vastly less tedious than sod1. Sod2 is just a better version of sod1.
btw thats a game you reviewed without even leaving the tutorial stage, which is really stupid. The comments on the video gave you so much shit for reviewing the game based on a tutorial if you go back and check. Everyone LOVED state of decay 1.
I believe you went in with shitty expectations, based on the REVIEW OF THE TUTORIAL you did in sod1 and regardless of whether or not this game vastly improves on the original, its obvious you were ALWAYS going to give a bad review from the get go.
notamolester a SPOT ON! Zombie games are not going to be better than this title. Sod3 is the new or last hope for improvement in the genre
yup, because anyone who enjoys something you do not makes them stupid right? Grow up lol. People like different things.
State of decay. No thanks, days gone PS4 exclusive hmm might have to see. The problem is there is just too many zombie games coming out.
Steve that games gun sound design is aweful lol it's clicking noises for some reason
yeah, 3 is too many
yah too bad day's gone isn't complete yet and may be release don 2019 or 2020
2 zombie games is too many?????
The problem is, that it is the same game like part one with nothing new, just new bugs and even more fetchquests. ZOmbies arent the problem
Mack, can you check 303 Squadron? It came out today and it looks kinda nice.
Woah
I was planning on picking this up! thanks for saving my money Mack.
Fingers crossed days gone on ps4 is better then this
Stevenator Bensonica can't be any worse can it really!!!
YES, the latest win10 update also ruined my system aswell. Fucking hell
I'm glad I still have Windows 7. Windows 7 ftw!
That piece of crap? Windows 98SE for the win!
Who cares.
Good luck running modern games on it lol
many do
Oh what a Windows 10 Kind of counter Argument.
Best intro in the WAB channel so far... Way to go man.
He is exaggerating this so much Jesus Christ if you don't like the game loop than so be it, but don't act like no-one should.
lol calls him dumbass for leaving his thoughts. People like you are the reason gaming is so toxic now. Go play some overwatch or something, or chill the fuck out.
also, macks reviews are not objective at all lol. The guy bitches more than he explains shit. He just whines.
This is why I unsubbed from him. Any one who enjoys a game that he does not is "stupid" or a casual shill, etc, and then he berates anyone who disagrees. Want a good reviewer? Watch ACG. That guy does not lose his shit and whine and compain every 10 secs because oh no, its not a game I like.
Mack is not objective. He just states an opinion. That's not reviewing. Reviewing is supposed to be objective, not " I dont like this so its shit and anyone who likes it is a shill wahhhhhh".
If he wants to vote thumbs down, for sure, thats his right. However insulting anyone who likes it is just pathetic.
No worries, dude, at least your are reasonable unlike most youtube commenters :).
See, you may think they are broken or shallow etc, but not everyone will.. For example, mack and I both loved kingdom come deliverance even tho critically it was panned for its bugs etc..You think sod 2 is bad? Check out that game. It's a mess, but a glorious mess it is lol. Let people praise or hate what they like. People these days talk about how "gaming these days is so bad" etc. Forgetting that lots of old games sucked. Diakatana anyone? There are good and bad games in every generation of games. Gaming is just a lot bigger now and there are MORE games both good and bad. So yea you see a lot more bad ones, but you also see a lot more good ones. (doom, witcher, alien isolation, etc)
There will always be good games, and bad games, and people that like and dislike them. For example I HATED bioshock, and found it to be worse than system shock 2 (which i LOVED to death). However I would never bash anyone for liking it, and overall its universally praised. I don't get it, but to each their own.
I wont disagree, some of macks reviews are great. The thumbs up ones are usually good. His review of kingdom come hit the nail on the head for me.
I like this game/dislike this game :good review
I like/dislike this game and anyone who disagrees is an idiot/shill/stupid :bad review
If mack would just tone it down a bit I would have no problem. He makes some good points about wallhacks being built in to games etc. I do not hate the guy or anything.
The first 34 seconds of this video is why I love you, Mack...don’t ever change.
PlayStation is laughing all the way to the bank at this failure. Xbox is dead !
Gene Parmesan it's really no wonder the ps4 is destroying the Xbox God of war is at 95% on metric it's one great exclusive after another horizon zero dawn got 9s out of 10 on most reviews
Stephen Searles Microsoft has to stop making games to make money and start making games people want to play. Stop trying to pump up unfinished games to sell console s and focus on getting ONE good game. One good Xbox exclusive is what they really need and they are failing by making a bunch of mediocre exclusives, spreading themselves too thin.
Gene Parmesan I know that's true I was really interested in scalebound but that got cancelled, that's when I sold my Xbox and got ps4 and haven't yet regretted it once, we've had a lot of great exclusives from horizon God or war bloodborne uncharted 4 the list goes on, and then there's the last of us 2 on the way, spiderman which is going to be huge
Stephen Searles I sold my Xbox for a PS4 pro and absolutely love it. Also, I've had zero problems with it, ease of use is why I use console s. Best decision ever was letting go of Microsoft for PlayStation, I grew up with Xbox being better than ps2, I used that thing for so many hours. My friends and I would have fights over the two console s. Then 360 came out and mine had red ring, but I let that go and got it fixed , I forgot and forgave. After 2 red rings I finally got a working 360 and it was truly next gen back when it first came out. I remember thinking sony will never be able to recover from the ps3s lackluster response from gamers. Not only is PlayStation back on top , Microsoft is digging it's own grave. It's legit painful to watch. Failure after failure. Sales so bad they can't even release the numbers because it will scare anyone with half a brain away.
Gene Parmesan yep completely agree with you, and every Xbox owner says the same thing oh but the x is much more powerful than the pro!!! So what id rather have a less powerful console with amazing games on it any day, I've just bought the ps4 pro God of war edition and loving it, God of war on a 4k HDR tv looks great
Well mac you can disable all updates on windows as i did one year ago
Sooo glad i've just stumbled on to this channel! the first 2 minutes earned a subscriber!
