    Hiring Gianni to advertise the game was a brilliant strategy by the developer.

    It’s also worth mentioning that we’re getting a sandbox level editor mode around juneish like the first game but in a free update with a LOT more content than the original mode

    Vertigo 2 is now the best VR game imo. So much content, so much creativity, so much love, so much fun! It made me smile and laugh a lot, there was no second that was boring or frustrating.
    It beats boneworks and Alyx easily

    Hey there! I doubt youll see this comment but id figure Id throw it out.
    Been a long time viewer, I think for at least 7 or 8 years, around the time KF2 came out, before then really. How come you stopped playing killing floor? I do enjoy your reviews, truthfully, but I also miss the random stuff thatd youd play on killing floor (more specifically the first one with custom maps)

    Should put a rant like that in every video going forwards.
    The shitheads it's about apparently cannot refrain from outing themselves in the comments, which makes it easy to ban them from your comments section.
    That aside, this game looks like a lot of fun. I haven't had much reason to use my quest 2 in a while, but this'd be a good one to dust it off for.

    I'm a pretty conservative dude but people who can't stand women as protagonists in games are morons, (Not like that is a conservative view anyways). Some of the best protagonists in games are women. Plague tale, Celeste, Scarlet Nexus, Oxenfree, and Hellblade are all games that have great well written female protagonists.

  • @alexdietrich7975
    @alexdietrich7975 Рік тому +1

    Couldn't have said it better myself about female protagonists. Having a choice is great but that shouldn't deter your experience from the actual game part of the game lol
