Back when we still called it "DLC" and not "microtransactions"
And it only got worse from there
@Brendan Milburn
1. Mental illness
2 addiction
3 kids
Recipe for disaster
And all big companies will see is a opportunity to for diversity and mind control Sh** along with the BUYTHISBUYTHAT crap that completely makes you feel like a product
Back when blue weapon skins cost $2 and were ridiculed instead of costing $50 and being widely accepted
Yeahhhhh….
Oblivion horse armor DLC was the bane of our existence
The "Blue" thing is starting to be a meme in Angry reviews XD
Because why do they keep charging more for blue? Lol
Valerant has the blue aswell
IS THAT FUCKING BLUE!?
@@LordFrieza848 No no no, it's FUCKING *SHINY* BLUE !
Valorant, Fallout 74, Evolve and Resident Evil: Umbrella Corp. What other game charges you for blue?
Remember when camos used to be unlockable? Now you pay $2 per camo.
There is unlockable skins in the game.
Shinethelight He's referring to all of them. I loved older games in the day that allowed you to find skins. They felt more rewarding. Now you buy most of them in a store.
Shinethelight why the fuck are you defending this piece of shit?
Mik Gnoy Don't be such an AngryJoe zombie tons of people are having a blast with the game. Do you really have some sort of need to hate on it? Do you even own it?
Shinethelight Joe only said the game was average. If this guy hates it Then there is another reason he thinks it's bad than just because "Joe told me."
Watching this 4 years later, I'm reminded that at one time, we didn't have a word for microtransactions.
Or at least it wasn't used back then.
I know at some point we didn't, but don't know how this video reminds about that. 25:10
would have to go back to before xbox360 to get to that time... xbox360 ruined gaming
Whoever came up with microtransanctions, I hope they're in hell eating their bags of burning banknotes through their ass
@@jibodagrey6500 I bought the horse armor, lol
I forgot this game even existed.
jethical b15 does anyone still play it?
+Iroquois Pliskin I do I love it
Wtf Pliskin? We know you Snake.
Well it's free now, so ya can try it out.
I love evolve hate dlc but still love the game
I guess you could say this game is LEFT 4 DEAD
lmao
+CHAOSCOMMENTATORS Just fucking Lol
+Joshua Dixon nigga
+CHAOSCOMMENTATORS lmao no way you came with this on your own
+Wutai Prime i did, the devs that made this made left 4 dead and i thought of that shitty pun :)
Anybody came back to this video because it's F2P now just like Joe said it should be??
y got me
yeah
And it's got way more content
yeah
Yup
joe's reviews age so well for some reason even in 2022 I go back to watching his old reviews.
Joe, baby, y'all know I noticed it too.
Jim "fucking" Sterling son
Oh wow Jim!
Thank God for You!
And TotalBiscuit
Oh man I love you..
Thank God you're here~
Angry Joe is one guy, IGN is a company with 100+ people.
Angry Joe does Real reviews, IGN only review games that they get payed $150 and the ones that they don't get paid by they give 3.1 like they gave Alien Isolation.
Angry Joe gets best review on UA-cam
Joe never even finishes a game...
Geert Matthys I don't think you must complete a game in all instances to make a review. Multiplayer games you just need to play the game long enough. The same thing can be said for most games whether they are RPG or action games, if you have spent 15 hours on a game I think you're in a good place to make a review generally. I don't need to see a game out to know whether the gameplay is fun or not.
First of all, McCaffrey gave Alien a 6, not 3.1. Second, take off your tinfoil hat, you sound like a fucking idiot.
Geert Matthys really? are you there with him when he plays? that's what i thought...
Geert Matthys And IGN does?
Is anyone else noticing a trend in AAA games lacking more and more content.
For example look at Titan Fall, Destiny, and Evolve. To me it seems like the actually content for some of these games is getting shorter and shorter, or is being broken apart to sold later or something
Yes, it kind of just makes me want to only play games from Naughty Dog, Rockstar, Valve and Bethesda, as they are the only companies who have delivered on basically every game they make.
Bilbo Baggins I lost respect for Rockstar ever since they failed to deliver on their promises of heists in GTA. The fact that they were able to show commercials and ads for it, yet every update they would go and say "heists are coming up soon". Fuck Rockstar. I'm not paying them for one of their games ever again, I'd rather buy it from gamester or some mom and pop shop.
But Destiny is amazing tho
Tho GTA V is still amazing without heists.
TheLoudestSqueaker It's not about opinion, they promised their consumers something that they have yet to delivered. GTA V is basically as fun as playing GTA IV now. There's nothing new or exciting that can hold interest. Once you have all the cars you want it becomes rather boring.
There’s something about the way he emphasizes the “bl” in Blue that makes me lol
IGN gave Evolve a 9 out of 10? lol, they ripped apart the excellent Alien Isolation, but gave this shallow multiplayer game a 9!? *face palm*
Well, I'm glad I did buy Titanfall last year. It taught me never to buy another AAA multiplayer game on release, especially after I saw it go on sale digitally with the season pass for around $20. So, Evolve is a definite pass for me.
Great review Angry Joe, I hope you do one for The Order 1886 next!
Well Evolve must of felt more like COD to give it a 9/10.
Mark my word the next COD will be a 8.5-9.5 with IGN.
because the game didn't have a lot of "water"
You're goddamn right
Does anyone actually pay attention to IGN reviews these days?
Histrory proves IGN for IGNorance
I remember when this game came out my friend was super hiped, bought all the DLC and was showing off that he got it. When I went to his house and played it, it seemed pretty crappy but I didn't say because I THOUGHT that I hadn't seen its full potential. A little less than a month later, I ask him how it is. He basically said, "what the hell is evolve"
LOL
LOL indeed
+Aaron Leatherman Hyped*
+Aaron Leatherman I was super hype for it too and it is fun, however, their model for the progression of the game was more micro-transactions and less content.
+Aaron Leatherman You could literally be talking about 90% of the people that bought this game. It could have been awesome but for some reason they let some marketing moron make too many decisions. I stopped playing when I realized the season pass I paid 30 pounds for, was worth literally fuck all. Even at release there was content that didnt come with the season pass (not talking about the shitty skins either) - Way to ruin a great reputation by being fucking greedy.
They should make a Predator game like this. Four players against Predator
That sounds like a cool idea, they are actually doing that for Jason though.
Alien queen dlc would be sick as fuck
MrAWALK22 That would be so badass.
Thats basically how the last AVP games used to work. There were more marines than predators allowed on the maps.
oh shit thats awesofe idea mAn
Who came back here because of Fallout 76 Blue skin scene?
Bionicle TV29 ✋
LOL It’s an Angry Joe Show meme at this point
Yes ma man..... I am digging through joe's library for his angry rants.. And it got me here😁😁😁
BLUE
I had flashbacks and couldn't find the source of 'BLUE!?' until I came back here.
Usually, when you say "I'm tired of running", it's heroic.
Not in Evolve. Everyone pretty much just says "ditto" and then goes to bed or keeps playing.
this is why i wait for reviews now. 2014 fucked me up the ass with broken and subpar games. thanks for the honest review as always joe.
I hope you read more than one review.
Trancecend What, you mean the paid ones?
Shirogane_7
they are paid because you don't agree with them?
jarma 5 No, because the paid ones lie and don't mention the games flaws.
Shirogane_7 Did I said that? No I didn't
This generation has looked bleak so far. I still have high hopes for Witcher 3.
It really is you XD.Never thought i was gonna see you on here XD
That's random as hell, I just saw a comment of your on a jake and hugo TBR video.. and now this.
@DarkMatter2525 i'd love to see your video's made in to a game they are pure genius ... thanks DarkMatter2525
DarkMatter2525 The Witcher 3 is looking pretty good now. Didn't really like it when I first saw it but it's looking better.
DarkMatter2525 I keep seeing you in places I don't expect. I'm okay with that.
sadly my mom and dad bought this for me for christmas :( ( but I still love them)
Anne R Kitty touche
Trevor Shaw Sadly? It's a free game, get some perspective kid.
YouCan'tHateMeMoreThaniHateMyself only free on PC
The Fazers He said his parents got it for him
its free though...
Shitty Medic = Everyone dies
Shitty Tracker = Monster evolves immediately and kills everyone
Shitty tank = the monster gets away and evolves
Shitty support = less damage to monster, less shields for you
I played the beta, trust me, i was the "shitty" in a lot of the situations ;-;
whenever I played as a monster and I knew a group had a shitty Tracker, I decide not to evolve. I would just stalk/sneak the hunters and just fuck with them.
welcome to actually competitive gameplay , if you dont like it go back to 10 yo boys in cod
But than again All multiplayer games have these problems. The biggest problem in these kinds of games are that you depend on your teammates to be good. Hell they can even afk and the creators can't rlly do much about it. What are they gonna do ban you for not playing their game asif your life depended on it.
Like in moba's its the same thing 1 member of your team just needs to have a bad day and the entire team gets punished, And its extremely frustrating.
Gabriel Gonzalez Competitive play isn't as fun when you play with random people ._.
There is a reason why they don't just grab random people and place them into a team for sports.
More people are playing Spore than there are people playing Evolve right now.
Evolve - ~850 people
Spore - ~1,500 people.
This is sad.
PC version?
Where did u get those SPORE numbers from? Because thats far from acurate
Rogueterra94 from 2 weeks ago. Look at the date
Rogueterra94 Here it is:
steamcharts.com/cmp/17390,273350
The numbers are a bit off now, but Evolve still struggles.
Only 850 playing evolve some people ask why so few, the bigger question is why so many
19:34 thats why I love watching theAngryJoeShow
+Noneofyour Business AngryJoe vs official critics. So satisfying to watch.
Yeah a really bad ending [hahaha] WASTED.
1:41 the Birth of the blue running Gag
“IS THIS FUGGIN BLUE?!”
If you want an honest review, Always go with an independent reviewer. Angry Joe is spot on with this review because it's never biased or "paid for". Good job.
It is biased because this is a heavily competitive game so of course its going to be a lot of the same stuff. Its like arguing that your sick of having people fight in mortal kombat and want them to sit down and play poker or golf instead. And the game does have some good flavor story moments between characters while in the wild, certain areas or about to be dropped off from the sky. They way Joe says it makes it sound like team fortress 2 needs a campaign or its shit.
Oh its is biased, but the thing is Joe immediately tells you what his bias is and why he reviews the game so because of the acknowledged bias.
That is rare, very rare.
His reviews may not work for everyone, but they work for me. The truth is there will never be any source that will review a game that everyone agrees with because it's ultimatly based on opinion. I perfer independent reviews over the mainstream ones because they have more freedom and control to be genuine. I had a feeling this game would not be that good (just like destiny) because they went overboard with the PR campaign. Joe got it right IMO and that's why I continue to watch and support his reviews.
*****
I would question if you even played the game competitively because the gameplay is great and exciting of how one moment it can seem impossible to the next where you are actually breaking the defense of the latter, The value of teamwork and strategy really show out here where as the monster you need to seperate or attack them all at once in hopes of making some permanent damage, and depending on who you're fighting changes your tactics completely and where perseverance in the face of hopelessness can prove fruitful.
Joe had trouble with a AI monster and the AI monster is complete shit to anyone who can actually play the game, and the way he wines about hanks(support class) orbital barrage knocking ppl away from the location, this is a complete noob argument because he just isn't used to the ability, its incredibly powerful and takes predictions to be used effectively or can be used to deny ground to the monster making the possibilities for it very strong and obviously, if such a thing didn't at least push you back it would be overpowered.
And again the story is for flavor, it was never meant to be something on the par with "The last of us PS3 or Gears of War xbox 360"
Why doesn't Team fortress 2 have a story?
And the comments and story you do get are very genuine with the characters giving their takes or experiences and all are very diverse and come from very different back grounds.
It may not be paid for so he says good things. But he is telling you about it through his personal experience with the game and what he found out while playing it. So the point will be honest. But from how he gauges it. If you ask a different person who saw the same exact things and had the same complaints. They might say. It was worse than joe said. Or better. It really depends on how people gauge the game. Example I agree with him on every point on destiny. When he made that review. The difference is I still find it very playable and worth going back to from time to time. Heck. While I've already done them many times. I still find the raids in destiny some what fun. That's the only reason I still play it too.
"Instead of making $86 of cosmetic DLC you could have FUCKING MADE A CAMPAIGN!"
Oh, my god! I'm fucking dying.
Spaz Destoya yeah he does know the art team dont make the campaing of a game right?
It's the principle of the thought that makes it so funny. Before you make me $2 color changes for 3D models (I freelance and I could do that in less than 20 minutes tops) you should probably make sure you have an actual game. It makes them look bad that they have cosmetic skins up the ass day 1 but no campaign. See what I'm saying?
Spaz Destoya it has amazing gameplay like a lot of multyplayer games has no need of a story. they have fine gameplay, graphics and ideas cosmetic skins shouldent be conserd dlc just because you have to pay extra mony to get something it does not mean its dlc.
Allen Gerchman lots of people like stories. I'm not even asking for a deep campaign when I play. But I need a who, what, where and why otherwise I'm just running around with my thumb in my ass without purpose. But you are right. Some people don't even need a story. Some people are just in it for the online. But the online is what holds this game up and this online is average at best. You can but only have a few buckets of fun with this game before you've seen the entire damn thing.
Yeah, it doesn't matter if it's paid or not. It's still DLC. Difference is if it was free no one would care. But regardless of developer intention it makes them look like an ass who's out for a cash grab when they put out a FUCK ton of dlc with a painfully standard game. Sad right? :(
Spaz Destoya you dont want deep campaing how about an interactive one evacuation it is not standerd game the devlepers dont want to give all the lore in a cutcene they want players to find the lore every match is more diffrent then you think and dlc means donloadable content so you are also gona say premiam curncy is dlc
Every time Joe. EVERY TIME. I cant go to sleep now and its almost 12 at night, I have to stay up and watch this review!
Sleep is for the weak.
Its 12 in the morning in the netherlands im lucky
It's 3:55 AM here, just woke up. Early to bed, early to rise :)
Aston Martin "its 12pm in the morning in the netherlands"
Filthy casul. I bet you pause games to go piss in a toilet. Uhhh.
Why dont you just go and *press x* to get rekt, scrub. #blazeit420
The emphasis on the sound when Other Joe was eating the "shit" and the second bite was comedic gold.
Evolve feels like it should have been a Wii U game. 4 couch hunters, 1 chair monster with the gamepad. Good party game
FAPDegren oh, and you could attach the DLC bullshit to amiibos or something so you can have the build and bullshit saved to your monster.
I oddly could see that being the first real use of the game pad
demonfireofhell thats not true. Nintendo land used it for exactly what he described.
aerochrise and no one cared about that game. Mention a triple a game and I might concede your point.
I think we can all agree that for such an awesome piece of tech it's been shamefully under utilized
Angryjoe and totalbiscuit are pretty much the only big reviewers who can still be trusted. Thank you joe, thank you so much for your honesty.
Edit: I know that there are other youtubers like jim sterling who are trustworthy, but TB and Joe are pretty much THE biggest influences .
tb does only first impressions not full reviews.
TheCrimsonLink It depends on the game and how long it is, he plays the game for a considerable amount of time so sometimes he does complete the game. For example Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. When he completes the game it can be considered a full review.
Jim Sterlng too
TheCrimsonLink
Well for this game it's not that big of a difference. I have a feeling he might accidentally do a "review" for the order as well
DSPGaming too.
IS THAT BLUE!!??
Yep THIS IS FUCKIN BLUE!!
THIS IS FOCKIN' *BLEU?!?!*
And DAT LOOK GOOD
Timestamp
Now its $18 for blue in fallout 76 lol
The fact this game went free to play shows the giant garbage the initial release was.
AF Raider is it still f2p?
Yuri Petrenko It may be. I heard it ran into some trouble but I never read anything more into it. (should be noted F2P was PC only
What happened with modern gaming industry? We need another 1983 like crisis to clean up this mess.
I wholeheartedly agree with this. It has been going on for way too long.
The problem is that people still put up with shit like Evolve. It's understood that no one with at least a bit self respect should pay money for this but it should also be boycotted by gaming journalists in general
what happened? DLC, specifically day 1 DLC. And newer graphics engines.
BoZoiD57 And 40 gb first day patches
Some normal developer is trying to create a new Dino Crisis game...
gamejolt.com/games/action/dino-crisis-x/29000/
I love that OJ is willing to do so much to help Angry Joe out he is so FUNNY lmao
Does the developers actually pay attention to this stuff? I know if I was a game dev I would have this guy critique my beta ASAP.
NightEye or tb better opitin
Allen Gerchman option
Don't pay attention to shit. Turtlerock doesn't care about a single thing we say. They care only about balancing the game(which they did an absolute horrible job) instead of fixing the fuck ton amount of glitches and bugs. It's just unplayable between the bugs and the community. I loved the concept of this game but it just lost my vote when turtlerock decided to ignore their players and fuck the game further
NightEye i dont think they care as long as it sells
smasher502 If developers do not listen to the critics or fans then they are complete idiots. Without support there is no game.
One of the reasons I love Angry Joe. He's always brutally honest in his reviews.
Every time I see a review.....I BECOME SO FUCKING HAPPY!!! XD
lol, same here. Love his reviews.
Vishal Duggal I have his review playlist bookmarked and I go to it EVERY DAY just to see if a new one was out, can't wait for Atilla!
SliceNDice
after rome 2 I wouldn't blame him if he didn't bother
Same here after all he is one of the few that tells you as it is no sugger coating
***** Atilla seems like Rome 2 2.0
Still has more content than Battlefront EA
yeah true lol !!!
New joke on the way, spread it everywhere
+Spartan Prime (Halo) eeehhhh... no. Battlefront has more maps and far more game modes.
Most of Which are INCREDIBLY generic
I played both of the games and battlefront still holds me much longer, maybe because its star wars but I dont feel as bad about it as Evolve
Things that would make the game more interesting
1. Single Player
A single player mode which tackles the different hunter's story, they alone will be played, no assistance, maybe like an alien version of assassin's creed, either they track down monsters, observe, etc.
Single player mode will be an open world scenario, story is based on different characters, that means no repetitive story, for example, Kala, the new DLC support hunter's story will revolve around observing and studying the monsters while fighting her own demons, she can have her own laboratory on the middle of some sort of jungle, for each successful quest means more upgrades for her base
2. New Monster
A new monster that revolves around the idea of psionics, this psychic monster's abilities allows it to
- control or posses a hunter in a long range
- raise a kinetic barrier for added armor
- stun all lifeforms in a vicinity with a mental blast
- hallucinate makes hunters unable to directly point their weapons at the monster
But wait! This monster is stationary , it also does not have any attacks on its own, it's transverse allows it to 'die' and let its spores fly out of the area, it needs to posses wildlife and lure it to the monster, the way it will navigate the area is through astral projection, good luck finding this one
3. Allow a new feature for hunters to enter vehicles
Make it look like Jurassic park, allow hunters to utilize vehicles, be it flying or roving, but be warned, this is a double edged sword, if the vehicle is destroyed, then most of the hunters inside will be incapacitated
4. New Expansion Pack
Why limit one's self in the ground? Why not the deeps sea or the skies?
no one gives a fuck
I give a fuck, good ideas man!
+Traveller Leng cool story bro no one cared about wut u said bitch
+chris young you may not care, but we do.
Lol am just fucking with u man sry man 😳
So, I came back to this video to just let you know you called it 100% right. Game shut down its servers a few months ago.
Guess there would be no chance of trying it again. Still such a shame, the game's premise was so interesting. If they had only put real effort into making it.
I'm glad I decided not to buy it now. I was hyped for this game when I first saw it in gameinformer. I love Left for dead and the concept of this game seemed great to me. But I never pre order and I always wait for a few weeks to see how a game is before I buy it. If we all never pre-ordered and had the patience to buy a game a month after release micro transactions wouldn't have ever existed.
Such a waste of potential. I actually had quite a lot of fun playing as the monsters. Mainly the kraken and the Goliath. I’d prefer evolve over fortnite any day.
They should have made this game to be like the alien humanoid creature answer to zombies from Left 4 Dead but they fucked it up. Hence why Left 4 Dead 2 is still going strong and this game is dead.
@@jam5287 I know right? Too bad turtle rock was stuck with 2k. I was looking forward to what Evolve could become. 😥
Between this and The Order and Watch Dogs and Asassin's Creed Unity and so on, I think it's fair to say the AAA industry is a fucking joke
And Nintendo is laughing in the background going I told you AAA gaming is a waste of time!
Tiswaser um no they are crying because their business model doesn't allow thier games in youtube.
We had the overhyped three last year (Titanfall, Watch_Dogs and Destiny) and now that Evolve & The Order: 1886 have come out, it seems like we're going to have a repeat of 2014 in terms of 3rd party games - a load of overhyped games that aren't worth the full retail price.
and Watch Dogs was lame and Call of Duty became predictable a few years ago and Far Cry 4 is basically more Far Cry 3.
Yet indie games are original ,cheap and fun yet ppl complain.
Thanks Joe. You saved me from wasting my money. I really wanted to get this game but not if it's this shallow. Not at its current price anyway.
If you played beta and loved it then still get it, if you have friends to play with its a great game to kill time in.
Rogue Cheney Exactly i loved the beta and pretty much all my friends have this game.
Mathias Van Hove Yea even Joe but it on the screen, if you have friends then its a buy because its a fun game to play with friends.
Rogue Cheney i'l somehow compare it to cs go.. You need teamwork and strategies with this game. And if you don't have that. Well both games look shit. But if you do they are the best experiences you can have.
The problem is that I don't see many people on my friends list playing it. If this game either stood on its own as a single player experience, or was more tolerable with randoms, then I'd be more willing to invest.
Is that blue? It's blue... It's fucking blue.
I had totally forgotten this game was even a thing. Remember the hype for this before it came out?
I remember that it looked so cool on magazines and trailers. I was like "hell yea, I can't wait to play this when it comes out", but I never got back to it.
I was very fortunate cause while I got hyped off of trailers I only bought games based on recommendations from friends, and since evolve flopped so hard I was never made to suffer thanks to them.
I just love how theres people in the comments section here trying to defend this game.
Now I know. If I want a good laugh I'll read the comments section here.
It's better now, you can't just judge an online game for a review that was made a whole year ago.
+Magnus Nielsen
Its judged from when they charge money for it. simple as that.
the prize doesn't have anything to do with the game. it's also half prize now.
it's true that the DLC is expensive as fuck, but they still have to make money from the game...the player base isn't as big as it used to be, so charging a lot of money does make sense.
Magnus Nielsen Then next time they should put more effort into their game and give a damn.
Maybe then their game wont suck so much ass.
just waiting for witcher 3 to save the last two years of games....
Hopefully Battlefront 3 and Bloodborne too.
Agree with both of you
Shane Texiera yea, but seriously i havent bought any games since 2013.... its been so bad this last year, and this year doesnt look too much better...
Draemic Dreams but ea man, ea...
Hope you notice that every game that has gotten a sequel after 2008 has been going down shit lane...meaning witcher 3 could become a 5-6 hour game.
Keep doing this instead of boring let's plays. This is what your fans want Joe!
Lizard Down If only Joe listened to fans like you!
Lizard Down MORE REVIEWS MAN!!!
Lizard Down More Reviews!!!! Lets do this!
dont assume what my position is, but pls, dont talk in my name. ever
MegaFarinato He should, it is what MOST fans want. If you don't then gtfo of Joe's channel you casual.
A perfect example of a game not matching its price. If it was a free-to-play game, or a $20 game like Joe said, it totally be worth it. But for $60, no thank you.
Its not a horrible game, mind you, but a lot more was needed at release to warrant $60. I even remember a year or so back, this game was free to get on Xbox One as a free game of the month for Xbox Live Gold membership users.
Man, remember when *that* was their model for free games and not their Gamepass subscription?
How did people not see this game being repetitive before they bought it?
Still playing it now, along with many others. The game is not repetitive, assuming you yourself are playing it and not watching someone play it on UA-cam.
Thaal Sinestro I've have played it...
Then perhaps the games not for you.
Thaal Sinestro finelly
***** you do not need friends for it to be good
It's so early in the year.... I'm fearful for 2015 ;_;
MUHA HA HA HA!
Fallout 4 perhaps? Just wait : )
indeed :,(
now it makes me wonder if the new coming titles are going to be worth it this year. -_-
Yup, so far there's already been a few less then satisfactory games released this year, hopefully it's just 2014 leaking through, there's some good promise ahead, keep your fingers crossed.
Dont worry The division and The witcher 3 will make 2015 im sure of it.
let's hope so :(
cause one thing you know that it looks great, but when it comes out, then we will find out if 2015 can be saved :(
Please God, PLEASE! Don't let Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain end up like this! Don't let it be some shitty overhyped game that actually sucks! Please just let me have this one game.
There are only 3 games I am looking forward to and it is The Witcher 3, No mans sky and Star wars battlefront, maybe uncharted 4, I dunno about those games, have never played any of them so but I might give it a go. If these games flops aswell, I will sell my PS4 and never lay my hands on a console again.
Have you even played Evolve?
MGS will be fine, it's Kojima.
RetroKidX13 its crap
i personally am much less excited for the phantom pain after the ground zeros fiasco.
19:47 best part of the review
6:48 in my opinion was hillarious.. Joe eating 💩 to locate the monster..
2:18 "The IGN give it a 9, they give it a 9!"
"NO FUCKING WAY!!!"
11:44
If you didn't see this coming from a mile away, I just don't know what to say. The only surprise is that it is getting positive reviews. Game journalism is dead, thanks for sticking with us Joe, TB and the dwindling few with some morals.
- TRUE -
nobaccos Joe will always be here to serve players with the correct knowledge :)
Calling it "games journalism" even in reference to what it should be is an insult to real journalism. Pretty much all "games journalism" was/is is a big marketing ploy. Its dishonest and deceptive at its core.
I couldn't say I didn't see it coming, but hey it's 2k let's have some faith. Nope, all aspects I feared that might crash the game become reality. This asymmetric 4v1 concept just don't work well without top notch cooperation, even 2k is behind the wheel. I wouldn't say it's a shitty game, it does play well when everybody in the match "play it right", but that just simply doesn't happen for the most part.
To me this seems a LOT like Guns of Icarus Online, in that the game is pretty damn great when you got two ships going at it with crews who communicate, but the game totally breaks down when you try to play in a pub match with people who don't have/use mics, and it has no other single player content. Obviously the biggest difference is that Guns of Icarus Online only costs like 20 dollars, with some cosmetic DLC thrown into the mix.
In the opening scene I really expected Joe to say "I'm so sick of running ! I'm a man, not a god !"
maybe he doesn't completely dismiss the idea that he is not a god?
"come on come on comrades"
Fanboys are out in full force it seems. Guys, if you run to the defence of every shitty cash-grab game, they are never going to get off their asses and make games actually worth the money you pay for it. The whole point of scrutinizing games like this is because you DON'T want the devs to think they can get away with half-assing it.
I find this game fun and enjoyable. I'm pretty pissed people are making their decisions on whether or not they should buy it on COSMETIC DLC. Also, Turtle Rock studios has stated that any and all maps added will be free. I think it's a good trade off, don't you?
TheTrap Not when you have to pay for the color blue!
Emilie Goomba
*HAVE* to? No.
*OPTIONAL*? Yes.
In no way do you HAVE to buy skins, you can just enjoy the game (as I am doing.)
TheTrap I feel sorry for you. You must be squeezing the fun out of this game. In no way is this worth $60, $50, or even $40. I'd buy it at $30, but I don't want to support cash grab games; so I won't buy this POS game at all. I can have more fun playing a $20 indie game.
TheTrap It's a matter of ethics really.
A product is something that provides function and has been painstakingly designed so it delivers not only on that aspect but convenience, aesthetics, cost and all other facets that maximizes the general consumers' experience.
The color blue is something so basic, so rudimentary that it should just be included in the game the first place. It's not that I'm denying the seller's freedom of selling it, it's the audacity that they put it up for sale in the 1st place that makes me uncomfortable. The color blue while offers visual value it should never amount to 2 dollars when the user has already paid 60 dollars for a(n) (incomplete) game. It's like asking for steak at a restaurant and being told that the default is well done and having it cooked any other way would cost extra.
Sure you can choose to not buy it or eat your meat cooked well done all the time but the fact that companies are doing this means ppl are spending money for it and dare I say being exploited. What if your friend was spending 50 dollars to unlock every single color skin? Your child spending another 100 on top of the 60 you gave him/her? There's a day gonna come when you can't even name your characters anymore, it will always being either Mary or Tom and you have to spend 5 bucks to change it to something you prefer.
I lost interest in this game when I saw that they wanted $15.00 for one monster for DLC. 1/4 the cost of the game just to play as ONE monster? Yeah, Fuck That.
Wow, it feels like video games are just getting worse. That's why there's so many remasterings.
People have focused on making money instead of great games is the problem. The worry of stability hinders their creative ability to think outside the box.
Jeße J Farb It's terrible that video games are turning more and more into money monsters. Lets hope that KH3 and FF15 will think outside the box!
I am having so much fun with halo mcc and borderlands handsome collection than any other of this half ass, shitty, boring ass games.
There has not been a game as good as silent hill 2 in years.
JeXoLucs- 1999SHOCK Dying Light is cool. The be the zombie mode is almost painfully well balanced. I've found it difficult taking down just one survivor, and yet I can still kill off an entire team if I get lucky. The DLC sucks though, and that's where the cash grab is. You can get useless weapons and a skin pack, or a new map where you can do parkour challenges all for a bow. If the bow was an early game weapon, and it was an alternate way to launch explosives or something like that, then it would be alright, but requiring you to go through the insanely difficult Bozak horde challenges make it so it's not worth the bow. At least they made the cash grab in non-essential DLC, and didn't try to hide content behind a pay wall. So I'm not sure if that's a win because the game is fun without the DLC or a lose because the DLC could have been awesome if they had put more time and thought into it.
the more i watch his videos the more i believe Joe can predict the future of gaming. He is like the nostradamus of the video game world.
Thanks for saving me some moneyyy!!
I really hope Joe reviews The Division when it pops up. I'm totally on the fence with that game and his reviews are just honest, truthful, detailed & unbiased.
Keep it up AJS!
+TheDezembro " his reviews are just honest, truthful, detailed & unbiased"
Haha, eennhh.... Entertaining. Id stick with his reviews are entertaining.
He didn't save you money this game is and will be one of the best games you'll play it had some faults at day one but now it is phenomenal
Master Raptor21 It's not the patchable faults that keep me away from that game.
It's the content.
+TheDezembro +Master Raptor21 The time when he reviewed the game was accurate. Now things have changed since the review and trust me TheDezembro it's a good game now. The only thing is there's not a bunch of people playing but there are people playing. I know because I play it daily.
I agree so many games look great but are all just superficial. More money saved again, thank you.
It's always hilarious when one guy gets separated from the team then everybody realizes that he is gone and we have to go back to get him when we realize we were too late.
16:49
I could tell you
I could tell you
but I won't
Sound just like the guy from destiny in AJs review. They never even bothered to explain shit
but i wont mua jajajajajajajajajajaja
"I don't even have time to explain on why I don't have time to explain."
''Muahahahahahahaaaaa...''
aciddragonpuncher apparently they will if you shell out the money for that DLC
Oh god the part where he says "Where is the rest of the game hiding, i'm gonna go find it" *starts reaching around with his arms like his blind* that made my day, thank you Joe.
So in Destiny they said " I could tell you the story but i wont", and in this game Evovle they are saying " no one seem to know". So whats next? what are we going to hear next guys? I ll go first.
"People who knew are dead"
"The Russians sent an amnesia bomb from our own satellites."
"Uh, uhm," points behind you, "Look, aliens *and* Bigfoot!" ~runs away~
"Every one is dead and then you are screwd"😄
"Your guess is as good as mine."
"Sorry but they forgot to record our history"
I can't believe it's already been 5 years since this review. JEsus.....
I love how brutally honest this guy is. I'm going to him when a game I want comes out
Everyone who was planning to buy this, do yourself a favor and buy a 3DS and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and wait for Evolve to drop in price.
***** Oh you bet! When my nephew tried to coerce me into playing MH, I was like "wtf dude whats cool about running after the same guys and just crafting shit?"
But irt becomes SOOOO much more when you actually go ahead and play O_o
In all honesty I'd say don't start with Monster Hunter because
1) SUPER addictive
2) you will find yourself comparing every game to the experience of MH and it's awesome skill-heavy combat (WHICH IS THE BEST EVER)
I just don't understand why both MH3 and 4 are subtitled Ultimate.
***** Dude, you too, I just got a Shining Gundam Master Grade.
You wanna give me the money to buy that....thought so...
Ok, for one, I knew I will be building/assembling it and the small nuts/washers? are a bitch to get in. Ze hands are RUBBER!! and stickers are for various places. I should had saved or spent more money on a dame Perfect grade. I got my at Gundam Planet.com. Stocks are usually low or out.
Gamespot rates this 8/10
Then rates Styx: Master of Shadows 5/10
Not relying on them anymore
+Kyle Uys şo i bought Space marine's complete edition and alien isolation for 22 euros are they worth it
You still went to Gamespot? They gave Rambo a 6/10
Tyler Federico
i would say a decent score for i don't know 4k euros/dollars
That's the difference between Angry Joe and outlets like Gamespot and IGN.
Angry Joe is honest.
GameSpot is biased as fuck. If the game comes in a blue case, expect it to be given it a 5/10 at least.
Watching this is 2019. Now Activision selling reticules for 2$.
2020. Hasn't changed much.
@@Youngblaise2 Correction. 2020, Evolve shut down. You can't play it anymore.
"Evolve is the first big dissapointment of 2015!" Well, Dying Light already came out, so...
Can i ask how was that a dissapoitment ? I'm not trying to attack you or somethimg, just asking. It felt to me it delievered EVERY aspect they promised... i mean two- zombies and parkour, and it works decently as killing zombies and running.
Dying Light is a hell lot better than Evolve. And Dying Light isn't a disappointment, it's cliched like all zombies genre.
brazwen yep
Yeah, I guess I used the wrong word. You'd need to have expectatons after Dead Isnald. And since that was a total piece of shit, then, yeah... Point being, I "love" how this year started with Dying "6/10, wait for a sale" Light, Evolve, The Order and what's next? MKX? Yeah, since Injustice and MK9 were a little bit better than "fucking bad" and they've already locked a character behind pre-order DLC, there is no faith to be had. Before anyone asks, locking characters like that in a game that aims for tournament play, fuck you, it's undefendable, go away.
Someone sounds grumpy
When your game has less day one content than Destiny, that's bad. Really bad.
Destiny actually had a pretty good bit of day one content, the content just wasn't good
+YouWill NeverKnow still trying to justice your destiny purchase. Destiny was pathetic
not even this was way worse at least i got 89 hours of game so far
+Taz Ali no no, I'm not justifying my destiny purchase, I'm still mad at myself that I bought it, the game has no quality and the content sucks it just has a good bit of it
Destiny is a great game now, people let the first time it came out ruin the fun for the future, Bungie's fault, but I gave it a chance and I am getting the new DLC
Good to see angry Joe exposing all the main outlets of critics with this game, this game way before release was shoved down our throats. And I'm not saying I agree with angry Joe just because I thought the game suck too, but the fact that I can't rate a f2p type game as a AAA game that has a AAA price tag with over 100$ of dlc on release day. This game would've been a lot better if it was reasonable with its price if it was f2p as the same set up. It was my problem with the order 1886, I loved the game but the publisher has no right to sell a 8-10 hour single player game for 60$ when it should be started off as 40$. Great review Joe thanks for not being a sell out, I can count on your reviews man.
Angryjoe is just saying the truth and doesnt get paid by 2k for saying something good about a bad game
Glad to see reasonable player, I loved the order 1886. but at the same time I know its not worth 60 or 70 dollars, at best its 40 and even then i would recommend people to buy it for like 30. But some people overreacted like the order was the worst shit ever, it had lot of flaws but also a lot of qualities.
+ Mojo Siesta Agreed should ' very been cheaper. Also could have sworn I corrected you before on that over 100 dollars in dlc on release day. It's ok to be mad but don't blatantly lie.
femtoservants it also did something that 90% of games don't do anymore, A GREAT FUCKING STORY. I don't know why devs think they can make a multiplayer game without a good story, or a free roam game with a shit piss poor story. Guess what? MGS 5 has all of the above and will definitely have a great story if we go on its history.
Tarfiel Archelone wait what? It didn't have over 100 dollars of dlc on release date? I'm sorry it's just that's what I heard from a lot of people and if I'm wrong then I'm sorry, I didn't want to mis inform everyone.
19:56- 20:10 "Who- he- what? Get the hell out of here! Deep gameplay, character?! What game would you- Where is the rest of the game hiding?! I'm gonna go find it!"
Ah, IGN. You guys clearly know how to makes scores.
Evolve: 9/10
A deeply rewarding multiplayer experience.
Pokemon ORAS: 7.5/10
Too much water.
LOL IGN said 7.8/10 instead of 7.5, but still they don't know how to score.
So good.
semaseri x Polygon has been pretty decent for me so far; Gamespot is just a joke. I stopped reading their reviews after they gave DK:TF a 6. Tropical Freeze is a fantastic game. Yes, it's difficult. But it's a DK game, what else did you really expect?
samegameasthelastonelmao
Just looked that up, and yea... I'm starting to think IGN hate water... I mean Pokemon got a 7, and Majora's mask got a 8.7/10, which is a good score, a really good score. But the negative part was "Great Bay Temple" Okay so the one temple, that has water in it, which if you use the map on the bottom screen it's not difficult to figure out where you're at and all the pipes...
"one of the best hunting experiences?"Monster hunter is way better than this
Or you just play Witcher
Skyrim…Nuff said
skyrim sucks bro
thinlin3rx No.
The only thing that Skyrim hunts is your time.
It's so sad! This game could have been so fucking awesome.
It is awesome, just not enough content.
Thaal Sinestro it has more then enough content evry math is verry diffrent and yes it is awesome
I'd have to disagree. Is the game awesome? Yes. But you'll see everything it has to offer in a few hours.
It is quite addictive though.
Thaal Sinestro well wow i made more spelling mistakes then i thought but all the matchs are so diffrent some hardcore players agree case and point ghostrobo
Zyphera The truly sad part being that just like Destiny, they'll announce a second one that will be 10x better than the last when in reality, it'll be the same tired trash we've gotten before. The gaming industry is in a really sad place for AAA titles right now.
Devolve
roasted
Where did the monsters come from? Well... I could tell you...
But i won't. Muahaha
But... I'd rather sell it in DLC.
*slow mo on*
I ccccooooould....teeeelll.....youuuuu ................but i wont muhahahahahahaha.a.a.a.a.
Ahhhh, I'm getting Destiny flashbacks again!
Where did they come from? Nowhere... humans came and colonised the planet that they were on. In case you haven't understood yet they took the idea from xenomorphs. The DLCs are just cosmetics so shut up about that.
Thanks, Joe, for switching your background. Everything is legible. I appreciate the review as always. You seem to be the only honest reviewer out there. Like so many others, I bought games like Watch Dogs and Destiny pre-order. Tired of being burned, I wait now for the game review before I buy. Evolve didn't peak my interest when I looked at the game play online. Not surprisingly, IGN and Gameinformer gave it high marks. They also gave Watch Dogs and Destiny higher ratings than you did. I trust your opinion over any other gamer review. If we don't buy these games pre-order, then maybe some of these companies will actually start making decent games. Keep up the great work!
Umm..AngryJoe isn't honest in this review at all. This review is getting torn apart on the Steam forums by people that know the ins and outs of the game. He doesn't even know how the unlock system works.
I don't usually trust AAA titles not from Nintendo. I LOVE games like GTA5 and The Last of Us Remastered, but I deeply considered these games before making the purchase. Of course Nintendo has been treating fans like trash lately but they don't release unfinished games or annoying DLC. I know many people like this game but I always watch reviews on games like this before purchasing.
killua925 Yeah I don't blame you, however, I would watch and read A LOT of reviews other than AngryJoe's. Or if you're really a fan of his at least watch/read them in addition to his. AJ just has a certain attitude towards the gaming industry and thinks every game should be exactly the way he expects it to be.
I do watch multiple reviews before buying games, usually on UA-cam.
Shinethelight How is he not honest? What the fuck are you smoking?
I felt the same way when I played the game. It's just average as fuck. No campaign either means I have no reason to play this shit. I can't believe IGN gave it a 9.
welcome to ign
because it is good
That's IGN for you.
+hotman718 Well, campaign for this kind of game usually suck.
IGN probably got paid to say that
Two years later, Joe's points still stand. The game is pretty much dead.
Almost 7 years later nobody even remember this game
None one seems to know" - Bucket
Nothing is worse than the Speaker in Destiny saying he could tell me what happen...but basically No, fuck off.
That's why he's called the speaker and not the Explainer :P
AUG0S lmao Good one.
Maybe the Explainer will be in the Next DLC...or Destiny 2,Content Edition.
xKingx16 Almost choked on my sandwich at "Content Edition". lol
***** LMAO....
I knew what this game was from the start. A repetitive, money sucker. No thanks.
▲ My thoughts on most Multiplayer games.
Aaron Moore You are an idiot. IGN gets paid to give those scores. You make yourself look like the kid.
Haven't played the game, but just seeing that it has those stupid ass microtransactions I'm not going to get it. The game indrusty is going to the wrong direction, and the cause of is (in my opinion) our beloved Gaben (Praise Gaben!). Stupid tf2
I'm really confused here since every game is repetitive.
I second that.
Alright that was a good review, now to read the comments and how Angry Joe apparently is completely wrong and stupid.
They are all over the place. Just for starters Maggie does not fall through the map that was in Beta, and was fixed. I've played the game every day since launch and have never seen Maggie do that. Why would he show that in the video? Pretty shoddy game coverage I must say.
Dude, just because something hasn't happened to you, doesn't mean something hasn't happened to someone else
Andy Graham No, it doesn't happen to anyone one anymore. I read the Steam forums every day and play every day. It was fixed, and is not in the game anymore. It is not a current bug,
People do play it on consoles as well. Not just steam
Did the same thing, although the upvotes show the comments are full of the Vocal Minority.
Came here from Fallout 76 because of that "BLUE" moment XD
Joe speaking the truth once again! I was also laughing when I saw some of these reviews saying it is a 8-9 out of 10 game. Uhm.... No it is not! x'D
eLOLve, fall of titans.
so the only that matters is the review score
jarma 5 No, but the review score is indicative of what the reviewer thinks of the game's quality.
I think that the critic reviews were like that cause they were paid money by turtle rock, just like every other shitty game with high review scores
Man! It's like reviewers have different opinions on games! How odd! I mean everyone knows reviews base on the objective quality of the game and not their opinions so this game getting review scores must be because Turtle Rock and 2k Games obviously paid them off!
Angry Joe uploaded a new review, awesome. He didn't break his promise. :)
He's also going to release The Order review soon :P
Hannu Korvala
When? I have no idea if it's good or not. Reviews are all over the place!
WH250398
I can tell you from playing it myself that is a B-C grade film with bits of rail shooting and quick time events. wait for it to drop to 30$ because that's all its worth if you didn't get one of the statues for the game.
WH250398 According to him he starts filming it in wednesday, so I'm guessing it'll be up on thursday or friday :P
Hannu Korvala Awesome, I know everyone wants a lot of reviews this year. At least as much as possible.
I like to think about how many people who defended this game at the time probably don't even remember it exists now.
I thought it was fun I put a lot of hours into it.
Nah we still exist

Nintendo recycles their games constantly they are just as bad especially how they steal money from youtubers
Hoping for good games 2015:
-The Order 1886-
-Evolve-
-Battlefield Harline- (?)
Bloodborne
Mortal Kombat X
The Division
Witcher 3
Metal Gear Solid V
I don't have much hope for The Division, because....you know, Ubisoft.
I do hope that games like MGS 5 Phantom Pain, Batman Arkham Knight, The Witcher 3, Uncharted 4 and Zelda U will live up to the hype.
Sorry to tell you but the order 1886 is not very good either.
Dont forgot the Witcher 3
kyle jones The ones crossed out are the dissapointments incase that flew over your head
The Division. Wouldnt wonder if it wil be a dumbed down downhraded Joke..again.
Witcher 3 is my last Hope.

I don't understand why this has such high ratings on ign and metacritic
ign and metacritic are corrupted as fuck.
They're getting money for it
Because they rushed out reviews after a few matches. With that much time they didnt see the flaws in it
Ign can go fuck them selfs...
Kelvin Martinez Absolutely.
So glad my brother got me onto the AngreyJoeShow. Finally a non-bias reviewer who says it how it is. Subbed =)
+Wakizashiuk "Finally a non-bias reviewer who says it how it is."
Entertaining, yes. Unbiased? eeennnhh...
I will readily admit that he does indeed bring up some valid points- He also brings up quite a few points entirely through uneducated ignorance that are blatantly false, and makes many assumptions about the game due largely in part to his lack of understanding of how to play it.
Take it for what it is- Exactly that.
The monster designs in this game is still one of the best. I'm still teary eye'd that this game didn't survive.
Bought this game, installed it, played it for 15minutes, uninstalled it and returned it
Same xDD
Git gud scrubs
It is apparent that a lot of people here can't hold a simple discussion without hurling insults...
Rather than proving how you are right, they rather insult you to no end without learning anything...
Tell me about it :P i saw that comment directed towards you a few minutes ago....
Luckily there are a minor few that didn't let the whole DLC issue blind them from the game play itself.
People have forgotten to judge the game as the game; they are blinded from the game by the company it is developed from and how they run things instead.
When people defend a game from bad reviews, it doesn't mean they like how companies cash grab, but because the game is actually good, if you are blinded by that fact then I'm sorry, you'll never be a good reviewer ever again Joe.
Hiro Maxi I think he spends at least 75% of the video dissecting what aspects of the game he likes and which ones he doesn't. That's not "getting blinded" in my book.
Lord Baktor Hes not talking about joe, hes talking about most the idiots in the comments :P
Wow, was just about to go do a shit, but now i have to watch this video and just shit my pants and sit in it for 26 mins
my mums going to kill me
damn cya guys im banned from the internet
Or better yet, take a shit while watching this.
Lmao
Da Honey Badger HEY you are suppose to not care.
The ideas behind this game had so much potential. The world building (when you get the right hunters together) was very interesting. with the DLC characters there's even more fascinating world building (not worth buying, especially now that they killed the online play and bricked the pc version. just look up youtube videos, namely Caira and Kala and Lennox.) Basilisk soldiers, Lazarus men, Megacorp. named Hub, and much more. bits of the dialogue make this game feel like a tiny piece of a much bigger plot.
few bullet points with hunter dialogue:
caira and Cabot: Reports of these monsters attacking other worlds. confirming that these monsters weren't on Sheer originally.
Caira and Kala: Kala spliced herself with monsters dna to help her understand the monsters. sometimes when she speaks (like when in a downed state) she does not sound like herself. She cracked the genetic code using a formula best known for FTL drives (formula was made up for this game).
Caira (forget who else): The eggs aren't actually eggs, they just spawn a monster in a split second in case of emergencies. They are actually energy collectors.
something else we haven't seen yet left these "eggs" behind. something is allowing these monsters to spread rapidly. They also appear to be "engineered" not natural. In fact, Kevlar was found in some of their scales, implying they are attempting to adapt to bullets.
Plus more: These and more sound like a small piece of a much bigger campaign. One that if a sequel we're likely never going to get takes advantage of all the little details mentioned in these conversations, it could be awesome! sadly, it was squandered by a greedy publisher. (GEE, DOESN'T THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?! almost like its a common occurrence.)
Its a shame, the core gameplay was fun, but clearly was not nearly enough. Evac. needed to be a side mode, not the substitute for a campaign. You had a lot of good ideas here Joe.
BTW: mistake: you emphasized Bucket's "No one seems to know" and you said "Didn't these idiot colonists notice them. . ." Bucket immediately said after that "They are likely not indigenous (interrupted) to sheer." so, No, they weren't there in the first place so the colonists COULDN'T know.
So much wasted potential for this universe. shame what happened to it.
Very nice Insight.
