Two things I want to mention: - Although it probably won't be the official one, I've decided to make a fanmade trailer on my own which should be up in a couple of days! It'll be something similar to the intro of this video. - This took FOREVER to edit. Despite all of that, the music I used is copyrighted so it ended up getting demonetized. Although it may affect me long-term, I'm such a small creator that I honestly don't mind making money off this video unless it got something crazy like 10 million views. Regardless of what happens with the video, I'm proud of it and hoped you guys enjoyed it too! See you next week! - Dawson
I like how heavy the artillery and naval bombardment is, it ads a larger fear and anxiety factor, like when you hear the whistle of mortar or artillery you think if its going to hit you or not
Interesting fact about the Costal map, in the lore the CIS Mira (a Cetan ship) didn't know about the signals that the Cetan army sent with flare guns so the CIS Mira just bombard whenever the fighting seemed big so when the Cetan army sent up flares to stop them, they didn't know what it meant and kept bombarding, making mass casualties on both Cetan and Corvuns, remember this is like the early 1900s, no radios yet
Artistically this is the most brutal game I've played in Roblox and even with its many issues it's one of my favorites so far. Excited to see what other games you'll cover; you're doing a great job with these videos.
Thanks! I've got an awkward taste in games, but if you're looking for more brutal games I'll definitely cover them! In my opinion, the old ROBLOX Game Reviews was too afraid to review some of the lesser known more brutal games, but those are the games that are usually pretty good so expect more for sure!
For naval bombardment, it is called the destroy salvo, in the offence strategy. It is a short but fast artillery fire to cripple the enemy. Edit: They nurfed the salvo from 4 to 2, Meaning A the 5 main guns were to do a double salvo, where 1 split salvo is followed after another, in this case, after the shells hit the land. However, this would be impossible when the first shells arrive, as there is more then 5 shells hitting the Earth. The ship does have secondaries, but the blast does not differ.
Some notes to help you improve your future reviews 1. Make a point of reference for reviewing games within a genre. A score will always be arbitrary if the viewer doesn't know what the game is being compared to. Is it games in that genre? All roblox games? Making that clear would help put ratings into perspective, however you don't have that range yet to compare games in their respective genres due to the series just starting. 2. Place your computer specs in the description of your channel just for future reference. 3. The problem that you had with Centaura were memory leaks that caused constant freezing of the game. Roblox does not give developers adequate enough tools to troubleshoot these problems. You may need to restructure what you mean by performance, whether it's the fault of the developer's optimisation or roblox's engine and servers. 4. Rename graphics to atmosphere or immersion. Good graphics in a game doesn't mean good immersion if it doesn't elevate the genre. For example, a roblox game might have a lowpoly artstyle to fit the desired playful atmosphere however if it had roblox terrain, it would tarnish the world's continuity. If you focus your review on immersion, you have greater scope to talk about art direction, music, sound effects. And you were doing that to an extent in this review. 5. I feel like the uniqueness section is arbitrary. Does it really matter about a work's uniqueness when postmodernism dictates everything is a simulation of everything else? When you talk about pacing, I think you really meant the intrigue that the game exudes. It would be more meaningful to comment on replayability or the extent that the game continues to be engaging for old and newer players. Granted, for games such as MMORPG's, you'd have to delve into the level of engagement through gradual progression. However, you can still preface that the review is only for a beginner's enjoyment and perhaps include more experienced player's input just so you don't have to grind a game for so long. 6. Alongside with more clarification from point 1, your final score should be improved with an explicit recommendation towards the given audience. An average final score by itself doesn't convey the final thoughts you have on a game, and ultimately the point of Maxxz' reviews were to recommend games. If you improved these aspects, it would add a lot of nuance and scope towards your review. I enjoyed this review on Centaura, however minor misinterpretation. Corvus is more representative of Serbia and Cetus of Austria Hungaria than the Entente and Central powers.
I was thinking this game would be pretty cool. Boy was I wrong. This is genuinely one of the most traumatizing games I've ever played, on and off roblox. I swear to god it's given me real PTSD
ok the real reason why the naval bombardment is intense well idk if this is the actual reason but here it is the lore of the naval bombardment is a cetus ship that was suppose to support cetus on land but didnt know where to shoot so they just bombarded the place wherever was gunfire, cetus soldiers fired a flare to tell them to stop but they didnt get the signal so they kept bombarding.
Alright, here’s how these criticisms have been fixed/ignored/attempted to fix (this is not to hate, just kinda bored rn.) Loadout display is kinda there with the preview for classes. Lag has been majorly improved upon. Artillery is meant to be the main way of gaining ground for losing teams. That’s why they’re so destructive and why they hit trenches. (I guess the mentality is that the winning team is good?) Naval bombardment has somewhat been reduced. Yeah, I agree. Especially with the Mons Planus map with the cars. Flametroooer has been somewhat nerfed, but yeah it needs less ammunition. The Mortarmen definitely need nerfed. Bayonets have been added. More maps are here and coming. This was written on 1/14/23. Please don’t give me crap.
definitely one of my favorite war games so far. i love the idea of artillery and all that and also love that it frustrates players, i mean is war supposed to be calming? having artillery every once in a while is very good, it keeps the maps from getting boring and adds a bit of chaos to it too lol and yes the lag is horrible but it can be easily reduced by lowering your graphics or switching to a closer server (with the use of extensions i suppose)
this might be an unpopular opinion. but personally i’m not a fan of centaura. it feels like that shell shock game, where it’s brutal and all but it’s not really fun, it feels like a showcase or animation turned into working game, which ends up in my end feeling not fun. the third person and first person makes it feel incredibly cartoony, along with the kill feed and the very tryhardy play method. if you spam jump and run, it makes it a lot longer before dieing. its extremely similar in terms of gameplay and guns as dead ahead, and i understand that it’s in the same dead ahead universe, but even in dead ahead ground fighting is really unfun. overall the game is super cool, i think showing brutality of war is overused and overhyped, but generally centaura and classics other games are pretty good looking, especially centaura. however gameplay isn’t fun. i think if the guns were much more slower, first person locked for guns, and sprinting and jumping stamina, because right now it’s really hard to play the game if you aren’t rushing while sprint jumping. this game is a good attempt at turning dead ahead into a infantry combat game, which i don’t think it works, especially with the current gun system. anyways, good video. keep it up!
late as hell reply, but i 100% agree. its fun for about an hour until you keep dying over and over to rng off-map artillery every time a consistent push is happening. mechanics that punish you yet are outside of your control feels and is awful to deal with as a player. i stopped doing game reviews because of centaura. not because i was heavily criticized, but because it just wasnt fun imo. its hard to review games that arent fun yet not be biased. i realized i wasnt fit for it and stopped this series.
i know what you mean by the armored car just sitting on the point and preventing players from moving, but it can be destoryed by the flametrooper by dealing 500 hp to it or using dynamite which insta kills it. But players don't use the dynamite as much or players that are the flametrooper class just avoid B point all together, but overall you got the main points of the game and it's flaws
honestly when played right, medic is a better offensive class than assault and flamethrower. if you time your heals correctly you can essentially double your health because using bandages heals you to full
You should review Frontline: Karelia 40-44. It lacks in many aspects but i feel like if it gained some traction with a review the devs could improve a lot of things. Lots of potential for that game.
In boomtown there is this girl crying since she got abandoned by her parents, she will beg you not to kill her. If you leave the area and come back after a while she will be gone. This is because, in the lore, the Antarean- Corvii soldiers took her and proceeded to cut of her limbs and decapitate her to be sacrificed. Genuinely the most disturbing thing I have seen in a roblox game. That being said really? 6.6/10?
@@blueroblox4939 I mean there could have been a section about atmosphere. But thanks for your criticism, and I hope you atleast agree its a pretty well made game.
Even tho the game is good and has the potential to be better, in my eyes that potential is being set back by the community, of course not all of the community is bad, but it is really sad to see this happen to a game that has such an opportunity to output itself more
@@lightningangel67x how so if i may ask? i do share some concerns regarding the community like how they focus lore over actual gameplay, which results in unfair/unbalanced mechanics being praised. i love the artillery and naval bombardments, but when your team gets cleared for the 20th time after finally capturing a point it gets old VERY fast
@@Dawsons_Stuff a youtuber named BetaSalvation made a video on the game back a month ago and has an entire section of like I think 15-30 minutes about the community, it's problems and how bad some parts of the lore can be But overall by what I saw the discord staff over there is undermanned but bad, there were times where they would ban or kick you cuz they suspected you of being communist, they would think they are both humanly and game wise superior than any other war game community, I remember it having severe transphobic and racism problems and sometimes they would also target people that came from Ordnance Games (Trenches) and other popular war games. BetaSalvation covers much more in deep but that's in general. I dont know if those problems were fixed but I hope it did.
i will say that dont play Centaura if you want to show you a OP or jsut to get kils play it more like if you was an real solider and try to live and maby get PTSD not to flex for oter players and try to maek it more like in real life and have fun .

But Axis vs Allies is something everyone has heard about and is more relatable
I was thinking this game would be pretty cool. Boy was I wrong. This is genuinely one of the most traumatizing games I've ever played, on and off roblox. I swear to god it's given me real PTSD
I was too busy playing to notice anything
And the best part about this game is that you can get military grade tinnitus from being close to explosions, it’s also rollable on or off
The intro shocked me. Although i haven’t play the game yet, But i just hear people getting burn alive. The dev really make a good job.
ok the real reason why the naval bombardment is intense well idk if this is the actual reason but here it is

God the intro really makes you think how bad the war was
The lore is crazy
