I love how the lasting legacy of Evolve is the “Is this fking blue?” Meme. Deservedly so.
It just keeps happening since then.
I think is safe to say that this have more of a impact than Evolve ever had.
@@DracoMongeevolve was fun, rip
Also planetside
I miss that game. As a asymmetrical game, I think evolve is better than dead by daylight
Color blue: exists
Angry Joe: So you have chosen...death.
Welp, typical Ubisucks 😂
Premium color blue
Fuggin blue indeed
Get your own material
Who knew a little part from the Evovle angry review would be so iconic 😅
The MOMENT I saw a blue gun in the thumbnail, we knew exactly what was coming lmao
Are you…ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND
Fact:joe hates blue.😂
I was like "Here we go."
IS THAT FUCKIN BLUE?!
I said it before in his nft reaction and I’ll say it here again the color blue lives rent free in Joe’s head
"OK-47" 😂 that's gotta be a shirt
OJ-47
No way, my names TheHK_47
Agent-47 🤣
If a skin is $70, I’d expect it to be something like a full body scan of me from a webcam and incorporate me directly into the game
But how else are they going to make their money back when it's F2P?
Yes with full motion capture and voice lines! 😂
@@djthebigkor-ian8074 I miss the times, I payed 70 bucks for whole game. Screw this f2p bs!
You could face scan for free into rainbow six vegas 2 and that game came out in 2008 😂
@@Bignuke87 I remember when they were going to have it so you could scan your face in perfect dark for n64 I think with game boy cam. They removed it due to thinking it would be abused like putting presidents in there , according to Nintendo power
I only play single player games by Bethesda.
First reply
@@DKomnicidefirst reply to ur reply

I don’t how does this comment had 4K likes with no replies lol
I dont get the hate. Its a very fun, free game. Micros in free games dont bother me. Epic fail from joe
ARE YOU..ARE YOU OUTAYOURMIND!?🤬
Fuggin blue indeed!!
Ubisoft is so shit at making designs. Their best design is Black Ice from Siege.
That camo came out 9 years ago and their still milking it
There are some pretty neat designs here and there but black ice is just very universal
Ubisoft sucks period.
$70 for a cosmetic bundle is pretty insane
I mena you do get coins to then buy other cosmetics too. It's not like it's just 70$ for cosmetics only. Imagine you buy a $50 megashark card for GTAV but they give you a free car too.
@@sumireravenclaw8034 how much ubisoft paying you to suck them off?
Welcome to modern gaming haha 😆
@@sumireravenclaw8034yeah thats the point of offering the coins so it justifies spending that much, and entire fking game is worth that much, an ENTIRE FKING GAME, which took years and years to make, but something that takes a maximum of a few days of work is worth the same, get the fk out
Yea for one camo for that only gun
Money for a POP UP ANIMATION? Just take my shoes and socks while you’re at it Ubisoft
MODERN GAMING!
Give em over now bro and the laces too 😎 thanks 👍
👏👏👏🤣
@@vircenttiDayum👏👏👏😂
Haven't you heard? This is AAAA gaming now
5:04 is what you came here for folks.
Not all heroes wear capes! Thank you!
Fuggin blue indeed
I love it when he say "IZZATFUQINBLUU!"
Cheers, Mate
I knew someone would have the a time stamp👍
That "my gun is a OK47" line was hilarious. Gotta love OJ. 🤣
Other Joe is the One True Joe.
Ubisoft is so beyond hope...
I don’t like goobisoft but like, every f2p does this so like why aren’t you guys going at apex, Fortnite, modern warfare, like ?? Wtf
@@kungfugrippgaming3412EXACTLY! everyone's pissed it's Ubisoft. I get ubi is awful but fuck man it's a great game. I've sunk about 8 hours in and LOVE IT. It's just like Fortnite and everything else. People just want to complain.
Fortnite's prices are reasonable. Fortnite is always giving out free stuff. $9 for a battle pass every few months can get you lots of stuff plus the next battle pass and extra vbucks.
People get mad at Apex's micro transactions all the time. Apex just had an event the cost people $360 to get everything and the players were livid. People always talk about the trash battle pass stuff too.
People were also mad modern warfare micro transactions when it first came out but that game is dead so no one cares anymore.
Getting Valorant flashbacks
OJ: “But Joe it’s a Free to play game!”
AJ: *proceeds to murderise OJ*
rip oj's t-shirt
These dev dont understand micro transaction should not go over $10! You want 90% of your player base to be able to toss you $3 to $5 rather than 3 to 5% being able to spend $40.
It's f2p. Boohoo.
Call of Duty is making billions charging around 25$ for a bundle of an operator and a couple gun skins.
The guys who will spend money will spend a lot of money. Way more than enough to offset the increase in sales that you could get from charging substantially lower prices.
@@yhzh2002 it's 20 dollars and usually the blueprints have completely different silhouettes they aren't just the gun but blue. There's actual effort put into making the blueprints and skins completely changing how a gun can look. 20 dollars is fine as long as the stuff is consistent per bundle and if the bundle doesn't have a character amd weapon skin it becomes a cheaper bundle. When you buy a 20 dollar bundle you know your getting stuff that looks special.
Devs think its MACRO transaction
Bro they have psychiatrists and economists to do the math on pricing. People who get paid a lot to analyze data and extract the most cash from most people.
They are so disconnected with their overpriced microtransactions...Most of them are not even worth 0,50$!! Get real, Ubisoft :(
I mean, you ain’t gotta buy it. Game itself is free. They have to make their money somehow. Y’all kids are silly not knowing how basic economics work 😂
@@joshfox4479 buddy youre the moron here. "they gotta make their money somehow" yeah try making a good game first.
@@joshfox4479 oh yeah cause the game is free they can't do no wrong... how stupid is that?
@@joshfox4479 Nobody's forcing me to buy it, I understand that but you must agree that skins in games are way overpriced for what they are. Its just disgusting practice that must stop. And I don't know where you deduced I was a ''kid'', I'm 38 years old...
@@Yuuki_Asuna never said that, but how else are they supposed to make their money when the game itself, which took a lot of money to make and more to maintain, is free? You’re just being silly with that mentality
All of these live service game UIs look the same to me. I glanced at the screen and thought they were playing Suicide of Duty: Infinite
That's what they are playing.
Remember when the colour blue was available by default for mostly every cosmetic option in a game?
In paid games.
@@neliz8 nah even for a free game that's just low as f.
IS THAT FUCKING BLUE?!
Fuggin blue indeed!
I still like this channel somewhat, but Joe just turned into Stephen A. Smith caliber self caricature guy. Not my thing, I think the appeal of his angry rants and worst game lists, used to be the fact he was genuinely angry or disappointed. Now he is just doing a bit like SAS, I do not get the appeal of that at all. He purposely play terribly received games like Kong, just so he could make the worst games list... Like, why I should care, when he played Mindjack, he was legit disappointed, but am I suppose to buy he is mad King Kong game mill game is bad, what is even the point?
I resubsrcibed to this channel, giving another go, but it is the same stuff, are you guys really entertained by having fake screaming? I get its a catch phrase now, but it is just annoying. I guess I am just not a target audience anymore, I hate Stephen A. Smith types and people who go that path. Angry Joe was a legit voice, when X Box one was revealed and all that, now hes just a self caricature....
The bullet sponges and the constant jumping around is a little too much for an aging gamer like me 🤣
Well go play something slower you old man
Feel you man and I’m only 33 😂
Yep, like Apex the shieldshooter, cod is still king and no one can push them
@@Freddy-q3mNo need to when Sbmm is killing it lmao
@@tacobandit1926 well even with that it still has better gunplay, more modes and a solid tempo to it, also reducing ttk was a masterstroke in my opinion, the sweats are gettin theirs and us casuals can find some enjoyment in it, but sure sbmm is an idiotic way of segmenting players, id rather get better by playing against better players but also some variety in games, sometimes it feels like shooting bots and sometimes im the bot which teaches me to git gud
*Sees blue gun in the thumbnail*
Yep, Joe’s gonna lose it. This should be fun 😂😂
Fuggin blue indeed
Aj saying we never done a free game angry review
Valorant angry review : I’m i a joke to you?
That game is a joke. It's outrageous MACROtransaction pricing and kernel level invasion makes it so.
planetside 2 review too
Halo: Infinite?
Also GW2, but it was paid back them
Literally.
Hes done it several times to f2p games
It's like they chose blue just to piss off joe
Fuggin blue indeed!!
Tacking on a label like "RARE" or "LEGENDARY" onto cosmetic features like skins is completely unnecessary and only serves to be manipulative. Basically just a weak excuse to artificially jack up a price on useless crap.
It's fine in something like Borderlands, where you find them naturally ingame from loot sources and it just tends to be a depiction of where/how you find them and how rare they actually are, but as microtransactions? No way, get that crap out of here.
If Joe rented out OJ to play games with other people, he could retire in 3 months. The demand would be unceasing.
Especially if you could request him to dress up in old review outfits. I want to play some F&F Crossroads with Vin Diesel OJ !
Oh wow another Ubi f*ck up...
*Pretends to be shocked*
that ok-47 line was golden! I'm gonna have to save that one for when im playing with the squad lmao 😂
9 years since evolve and the gaming industry has made zero progress.
We can moan about this until we’re blue in the face but nothing will change.
Are you kidding? It's even worse now so i guess they have changed.
It sure did make progress. Just not the one we hoped for.
BLUE??
DID YOU SAY FUCKING BLUE?
“Blue” in the face, you say? 😂
Does that say 'Rare' animation? Rare!.....how can it be fkin rare if you buy it..????
Because it’s rare for people to actually buy it
The funny thing is that people will but and suck up all the microtransactions in this game, but still be the ones to bitch and moan about $130 games.
I'am one of those guys who bitch&moan about a $130 game,you know why?...those games are most time half baked,needs a day one patch,stupid 3 days early access...missions or cosmetics you would not get otherwise...atleast with F2P games you can vote with your wallet,if it ain't pay to win it's fine with me.
And before you try to trow a argument about you can do that also with a $130 game(vote with your wallet)....well good luck then with getting your 100% trophy's and or archievements.
@@markvanwalsem3201 yeah but those 130 dollar games have so much better quality than this game ubisoft put out, it screams no quality, it screams free
@@Yuuki_Asuna because it is a F2P game😂...what about those people who spend $130 on a yearly COD title?
@@Yuuki_AsunaThis game plays rather good for a free game.
I am fucking speechless.
$105 AUD for a digital bundle!? we have officially lost all forms of value in the digital marketplace.
BLUE IS FORBIDDEN IN THE ANGRY JOE SHOW 😂😂😂
Fuggin blue indeed
So instead of a new Splinter Cell we get the rotting bones of the 4th Echelon in a crappy free to play multiplayer that will be dead in a few months.
Joe: ITS BLUE!
Alex: BeTtEr ChEcK WiTh ThE SmItHsOnIaN
I will never root for a game to fail, but I just don't see XDefiant lasting more than a year or two. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I think Joe's right and it just doesn't have the legs to stand for several years. Honestly, if Ubisoft was smart and they wanted a flagship FPS, they'd focus more resources on Rainbow Six Siege. People love Siege, it's still really popular nearly a decade after launch. But, it could be true juggernaut if Ubisoft gave that team more backing. Hell, maybe even start working on a sequel. Idk, XDefiant just seems like a flash in the pan that will die off fairly quickly.
This game is going to follow the finals. Just not as popular. As the release was so quiet and not advertised. Majority didn’t even know it was out until now. It will get little whispers for 2-3 weeks. After that the player base will drop tremendously as people will go back to where they were before. Whether that is call of duty or any other FPS.
@@JoeGrizz1y Honestly, if XDefiant didn't get like an 8 month delay it would have had better staying power. Before the last delay hype around XDefiant was at an all time high, and sentiment around CoD was particularly low. They had a chance to make a huge splash, but completely blew it.
The game feels like mobile game, like Joe said, it feels like a game that was made 15 years ago. Nothing new about it
They have given attention to Rainbow Six in the form of paid membership.
Bro $70 dollar bundle on launch day is crazy!!!😂
Battle pass is not even worth buying.
Trash scams as usual
"Well, jacket is coming off, you know what that means. It's just hot in here..." lmao!
"If you are not putting any effort, I'm not putting any effort" LOL
The fact that base color weapon skins aren't available at the start is a sin. 100 levels for each weapon and you only get bronze, silver, and gold.
$70 for a skin bundle
OR
$70 for several different full and complete games on Steam.
Tough call.
Almost fell out of my chair laughing and repeating at 13:43 🤣🤣 "OK-47", what a legend!
Love Joe rocking a Fear Factory Demanufacture tshirt.
fuck yeah
It feels very clunky, didn’t know this game existed until yesterday. Played for a few hours. It’s okay, but that’s it.
Change your settings.
It’s so fucking generic 😂
@@2bnatorit could have been something great had they not try to be call of duty so hard. That's the problem imo
@@2bnatorit's because they aren't actually trying to make a competitor they just want cod profits without actually fixing or doing any of the things that used to make cod great. It's Ubisoft ppl need to accept they're done at this point. Woke pandering garbage or half assed games that don't do anything new
@@2bnatormf been calling the cod killer lmao 😭😭 game is not that good as everyone saying exactly like cod pathetic. Should have be its own thing not a straight copy.
I saw one guy with the $29 dollar bundle ACR and thought... yikes
I played it a few matches and deleted it, it's too sweaty already for me.
Every single new game to come out this year has had server issues on launch 😂😂
"Remember to control your insertion, Joe!"
Uh, phrasing.
"You blew it! You didn't control your insertion!"
Hey, phrasing!
I hate how microtransactions are now, even in free games. Like at most I'd pay $0.99 for a skin but instead you have to pay $70 for blue 🤦♂
So you want games to be free and cosmetics to be free? How do they make money?
@@PIayer_01 Stop bootlicking.
@@PIayer_01 Not even close to what they were saying but sure honey
@sam_Invincible NO ONE IS FORCING THESE PEOPLE TO MAKE THE GAME FREE. Just put a $30 price tag and call it a day. Its not hard
I still think Paladins handled their F2P model the best.
During beta you could pay 20usd for all current and upcoming characters, no strings attached, which they upheld even post launch.
Guys I know Joe won’t ever see this, whoever has any type of social media account, reach out to him and tell him to watch/react to Logan the wolf. It’s a fan made variant of Wolverine in Viking times…..it’s insane and I think we would ALL love a reaction video.
being a life long COD fan and fps gamer, this is the first good "classic" fps experience since the early 2010's. I can get Joe and company not really getting it but come on, it's really flipping good. I feel like im 14 again playing this lol.
No it’s not. 😂
Once again, the mortal enemy of AngeryJoe returns
you mean immortal. because they'll always return
YOU’RE MY BOY BLUE!!!
"While You fools were killing people I was mopping."
Other Joe is a legend.
wdym? You have reviewed Planetside 2 which is a F2P game. And while it wasn't technically a full angry review, I still remember your long rant on Dirty Bomb, which would later become the format of some angry reviews anyways.
And they did the long rant on valerant
If people were to dress up like that and have colored, flashy guns in real life, then they would be the first ones to get shot.
Remember what Ocelot once said "Engravings give no tactical advantage whatsoever."
Blue... blue like the heaven joe
Fuggin blue indeed!!
Angry Joe sounded like he was auditioning for a part in planet of the apes after he ate that,awesome vid guys .
I remember when we hated DLC. NOW I MISS IT. stuff that was already in the game
To me this feels like Call of Duty Ghosts had a baby with Overwatch
WHY IS IT ALWAYS BLUE THE MOST EXPENSIVE ONE!? WHY!?
“If you’re not putting any effort in, I’m not putting any effort in”
Wow thanks guys really looking out for your audience!
I mean. Its not Valorant level of predictory so thats something. I was never gonna play this anyways.
Whats hilarious is you can't even see the skins you choose on your operator in game - it's coloured in a red or blue hue to let you know enemy or ally
You only see this at the start and end of the match...
Wait a minute isn’t that a call of duty map?
I think ive been watching Joe for more than 10 years and amazing to see these guys still going much love guys and God Bless
I wonder how much blue is on this lol
Fuggin blue indeed!!
Joe: Is this (insert color)? Are you actually going to sell the color (insert color) for (insert price)
The game is extremely fun! But yes, their shop is ridiculous. I have a much better time with games when I ignore their shops lmao.
Angry Joe: (exists)
Video Games: Add in the colour blue! Make him create a video about our game!
memba when micro transactions cost $1
Sure, I 'member!
Memba when all cosmetics were unlocked through achievements? I do...
No, I remember them being $2.99.
@@_Cetarial too young to understand haha. Back in the day, lots of games had all the costumes or special weapons hidden away until you do a certain challenge or achievement. Like how in resident evil 4 you could unlock gangster outfit and the typewriter machine gun. One of the latest games I can think of that does this is Blasphemous 1 and 2.
Am I the only one who heard the Assassin's Creed leap of faith sound on the gunfighter animation? 😂
The way Joe described it as old school cod with overwatch abilities and no killstreaks is so true. The abilities just ruin the game for me. Getting killed by random things multiple times in a game. I much rather have killstreaks which makes more sense in this type of game than abilities. Progression is very slow compared to any other game I played. There is no reward system at all it feels. You get a bunch of kills but there’s no killstreaks to get. Basically there no point in going on a killstreak but it’s casual game mode so there’s no incentive to play obj. All the rewards are locked behind a paywall which makes sense but there all shit and overpriced af. Don’t even practice mode available at the start of game which is so dumb cuz by the time it comes out everyone will already know how to play the game. It just feels like your playing a pointless game. We are gonna have to see how ranked is when that comes out but with all these overwatch abilities I just don’t see how the gameplay can feel competitive. Maybe the rewards might be worth it. The gameplay itself feels very wonky. You cant slide cancel which I think ruins the movement a little bit but u can slide and jump which makes up for it. It’s still very early but I’m just not that invested with the whole overwatch abilities.
Yea I agree. Ttk is too long, movement is too rigid, and gun leveling is a slog. I shouldn't be leveling up my base level faster than I'm unlocking attachments. Especially when you're eventually going to be going against people that do have more time to play and have everything unlocked that will beat you in gunfights because of it. Im just worried the patch for gun leveling will be baked into getting the battle pass. I think I may give it this weekend to play more, how long I last this weekend will be the make or break on this game to me which would just be me monitoring for what they decide to patch.
@broth4d4rkness afraid the patch for gun adjustment will be part of the battle pass? What are you talking about even ubisoft isn't that dumb
I will admit the prices in the microtransactions are pretty crazy
Game looks like it came 10, no, 15 years too late.
I knew something was fishy when they didn’t release this on steam, rainbow 6 siege gets pretty good player counts on steam so I was curious, now I know exactly why they kept it off steam 😂
Love u guys hope yall are doing fine
OJ with the OK-47! XD That’s going to be a new meme on the channel for sure! XD
I played the game for one round uninstalled it afterwards. The most generic cod ripoff ive ever played. Uninteresting gameplay, doesn’t add anything new. This game will be dead in a month lmao
It's a fun game and it's free so that's a bonus but the skins can be a bit pricey
Ubisoft game? Easy pass
I besides, the monetization, have thoroughly enjoyed what i have played off this so far. It genuinely scratches the itch that good cod gameplay use to give me i like the movement and gun play and giving abilities spices it up a bit tbh. Like joe said i think it isn't special in anyway but i do think the nail the fundamentals of what make a good "dumb fun" game good. Im also kinda blown away by how stable this game is even on ultra settings. Not to mention the good map design and aesthetics this game is surprisingly pretty especially on max settings.
Not a single white guy skin... Oh it's Ubisoft, makes sense.
Wyte people bad that’s why
Woke soft lol
It's funny because they want people to feel included but ONLY the minorities apparently.
Lol you losers are so salty 🧂
I once saw a blue ferrari with the numberplate NFT if joe saw that he would explode
Do you ever feel bad for fucking Turtle Rock, a small studio trying to establish a new IP, for doing something every studio would do in years to come?
I'm pissed at how Evolve was handled. Could have been THE Asymmetric game. DBD is cool but Evolve was sooooo much fun. I hate 2K for how they did Evolve.
Turtle Rock fucked itself. Well-deserved too
No. I do not.
Played a few matches and uninstalled. I literally cannot find this style of game fun anymore, you run for 10 seconds and either get shot from one of 20 vantage points or you do the same to someone else until the cycle repeats. Everyone just running around like chickens with their heads cut off. I'm getting older too, it's just hard for me to keep up with the crackhead energy these games require now lol. I do love the map designs though in terms of visuals. They have a lot of character to them and I like the bright vibrant art style but that's about it.
Ah more failures in 2024. Love it
Joe, your Evolve video is around 9 years old. What a legacy “Mufucking Blue” has had.
White skin doesn't exist in Ubisoft games it seems.
Who cares weirdo. Countless games only have white people. What a weird complaint.
Between Tom Clancy and assassins creed, all of the characters Ubisoft makes are white people. Most every game that has been made since the 80's are based whites. Tf yall complaining for at this point??
Pretty much every game character is a yt person or voiced by yt pepo. Especially Ubisoft games. If you don't like other nations then just say that. Stop the cap.
Honestly having a fun time with this game it's also coming from a developer team that's dealing with a totally new IP. Great communication. Sorry you guys can play on launch but I think all of us kind of know by now that launches are going to be rough when a million people are trying to play at the same time. Servers have been running great and smooth ever since those 3 hours
Finally an ajs episode of this
Oh yo,first like and comment
Guns don't have any impact, but the real impact is 0k-47.
So why does this get an angry rant on a Free to Play game, but CoD does this shit ALL THE TIME and it costs $70 every year and it receives no such rant? Weird how that works on this channel.
COD does it so often that it's become normalized and no longer news worthy
If they made "Worst Death Scene Ever" into a death animation, I would consider buying that.
(The one that was one of Joe's donation notifications)
Game is pure garbage Ubisoft will shut this down in less then 2 years
I give it a year at most.
@@ryanwhite9103thats being wayyyy too generous
@@sesuneiro probably
Problem I have with this game is that guns do so little damage. If you’re not hitting headshots, it’s like they do 4x damage, you’re screwed. It’s annoying.
I will die on this hill but I couldn't care less if they offer skins for 20$, or 1000$. If the game is FREE, if the game is good, if the performance is good, if the content is good, if there is no p2w, if the servers are good, if the gameplay is good, then the game is great as well. If they offer skins that are cool and I can afford them cool, if not not I ll just enjoy the free game and content as well as any updates they work on. I would happily let morons pay 100$ skins if that keeps the game with fresh content.
If if if if
I never understand this type of logic, why would people be fine with this practice in video game but not other product or service in real life? imagine they start charging the Gym 10x more cuz they feel like it, you could argue then why not just run or do exercises without gym equipment cuz it's free? Some Moron paying more than $10 for a skin is already overkill, why would you need that much to support a game? Then how are developers making games that are one time transaction with the same price as a single skin supposed to fund their next project with this logic?
I just imagine these morons is just helping the executive and the higher up buying another mansion or yacht instead of going into the game development, cuz they already have more than enough with these skin pricing.
And by fresh content, I assume you mean skins, it doesn't take that much effort to create skins or a few characters each years compared to a full game.
@@dangtiendung4766
1. Those two things are not the same at all. For your gym example, if the gym entrance was free the equivalent would be to get plain treadmills and weights and the “paid” customers would get fancy shiny equipment WITH THE SAME FUNCTIONALITY. Those paid customers pay for the equipment of the gym, the staff and the maintainance for both them and EVERY FREE USER. Free users get to use the gym FOR FREE! All the equipment's and facilities. (just not the shiny ones, the equipment could be a bit dirtier and the facilities less clean. Thats still up to you to consider if using that space 100% free is worth it for you)
2. For your skin argument. If 1000 people paid for 60$ game thats 6000. If the game was free, less than 25% of the population are usually players who spend money, that would result in… 1000*0.25*10 = 2500 in earnings. Thats why skins tend to be more expensive than some indie games. You need to cover for the majority of the free users.
3. By fresh content I mean content. Maps, items, balance updates, gamemodes, servers, customer support. Look at games like League of Legends, Apex , Valorant.
When skins are optional and the rest of the game is 100% free, I don’t care how they monetize those skins if they can keep the game awesome. Note that we specifically talking about skins in free 2 play games, not pay 2 win BS or cosmetics in 60$ singeplayer games or even manipulative pratices like FOMO or lootboxes. Those are a different topic.
I’ve thankfully never been interested in micro transactions ever, I’ve probably put 100 + hours into Fortnite/warzone over the years and have never even been tempted to buy a battle pass
The game itself is fun. The monetization sucks. Aside from the overpriced bundles and skins, pricing the battle pass at an amount that forces you to buy more Xcoins than you need? Scummy as fuck
I love it they put three basic colors as payed unlockables hahahaha
1K converted to BRL , its about 6% of monthly minimum income. Its fucking crazy.
