    The reviewers who hated it for the jokes were right, and the reviewers who loved it for the jokes were also correct. Looking at it through streams, the style of comedy on display here is imo borderline torture to listen to lol, but for people who are into that sort of comedy, the game is probably pretty awesome. Thanks to Gamepass, it's at least cheap and easy to check out

      I feel like it's very hard to give this game a non-biased review since all the fun kinda revolves around the comedy. I personally love the game for it's comedy yet if you don't it's totally fine and can understand how hard it can be to play it through.

    I was surprisingly really invested in the story of this game by the end. It has a lot more depth than I thought it would and there were plenty of moments that had me laughing so hard. The worlds are also beautiful and my favorite part was exploring these worlds to find hidden areas and chests. You even need to come back to older levels after you unlock new abilities to get everything. I think this game has a ton of charm and was a blast to play and that's coming from someone who never would've purchased this game if it wasn't on gamepass. I'm excited for a sequel!

    I really liked playing through this game, but my biggest complaint is there isn’t a lot of incentives for playing with different guns. They have cool different abilities, but I found myself mostly sticking to Kenny or Creature, aside from environmental puzzles that required different guns. Made it feel like Gus and Sweezy were barely part of the game. I would’ve liked to hear the other guns talk more even if I’m not using them, especially in dialogue scenarios.

    • @SamuelCatsy
      @SamuelCatsy Рік тому +12

      Gus' disc is great early on but his shotgun blast is doodoo. The problem is using the disc bounceback mechanic makes you stand still too much so you get lit up later in the game when there's dozens of enemies at once. You're better off blind firing a bunch of creature babies, using a sweezy timebubble to slow down the melee guys trying to crawl up your butt, then using Kenny.

    had a blast, great progression, felt rewarded after every boss battle with the new guns and equipment. humor was hilarious. felt ad-libed and authentic. gunplay felt good the movement system is awesome especially when you get the slide and jetpack. story was really engaging. characters had depth. and the guns were so cool. Easter eggs and side missions are really cool there's a lot of hidden things all throughout the game that also keep you wanting to play more. only gripe I had was that it would get boring fighting the same enemies at times. like most of the people you kill are just the yellow bums its almost too easy. overall id rate it a 8.3/10 super fun game lost points for the repetitive combat just killing the same enemies over and over until you reach the boss. id definitely check it out if you have game pass. tbh the game is kinda short and for that reason alone I don't believe it should be 60 bucks. 30 would be a fair price point cuz the main quest is only like 10 hours long.

    Honestly what hooked me was your sister's opening dialogue in the intro. She decends into typical teenage girl talk madness, continuing to drone on and on for what felt like 4 hours without actually saying anything. I honestly went crosseyed then started to daydream while pretending to half-ass pay attention while she kept babbling on. She was definitely grating as you said, but it was in a weirdly good way. I actually felt like I time traveled about 20 years and was back in high school pretending to listen to your girlfriend. Some writer(s) actually wrote teen dialogue and it sounded real, and not like some moronic clueless Hollywood writer in his 50s wrote it. So after listening to her and feeling like searching for the nearest window to jump out of instead just so you don't have to listen to one more second of your sister talk, I was hooked. I thought if they can nail this that well, let's see where else this goes. That and getting a full-length commentary track of RedLetterMedia doing a MST3K homage in a theatre was well worth admission price, even if admission price was Gamepass subscription.

    I loved the game. Great addition to gamepass. My suggestions for the sequel:
    1. A save feature rather than relying on auto save. Since it would be useful to save at some key moments and load the game back up again (if needed). When I was in the saloon for the duel, I lost but then all the characters inside the saloon ended up randomly dying?
    2. A map design similar to jedi fallen order. So it doesn’t impact on the HUD and even the guns could joke about how often you keep stopping or spending looking at the map.
    3. A feature like Arkham city which highlights where a chest is so you can return to it later. Since you can find a lot while exploring but they are not accessible since you haven’t unlocked the relevant gun. And then trying to recreate your steps can be difficult.
    4. The soundtrack- keep that team. The soundtrack when exploring is so so good.

      I played it after gamepass and was lucky and got it when it was on sale for $1.60 or something. After keyshop fees, it was like $3. I just missed getting to play on gamepass but still wanted to check it out. I wouldn’t have paid full price for it just because there’s not that much immediate replay value. I can see myself going back and trying to do a run where I 100% the game before making it to the end (instead of going back to get the rest of the things I missed on 2 words once I was done)

    Never have I recommend a game enough based purely on it's comedy. I love this style of comedy because it's not depressing. Though I didn't laugh much during my playthrough. Because the type of humor is how me and my friends talk normally to eachother on the daily. But it was still a fun playthrough. For me it's a one and done. Maybe I'll come back in 10 years and do it again. If you're that type of gamer then give it a chance. You'll know within the first hour or even half hour if you'll enjoy it.

    Reviewing is strange and people taking ratings as gospel don't seem to have much fun with the things getting rated very often, it feels.
    I mean, I played GoW and put it away after ten or so hours and deleted it. MGS5 was a huge disappointment for me. I deleted RDR2 after about 9 hours or so, although I really like many Rockstar games. Does that mean the games are bad or that the reviews are wrong? No, absolutely not. Things do not always have to be for me.
    As Luke often enough explains, reviews should explain why the reviewer thinks games are good or not (in his opinion) and the better he does, the better the viewer can appreciate the game and the easier the decision to buy the game or not. Luke does this well. Another one who does, for me, is Skill Up. It is fascinating to hear the reasons why a game is working or is not working while providing valuable information.

    For me it was a mixed bag. I liked the game overall, but there were definitely 2 things that took away from my fun.
    1: The glitches. Nothing game breaking or overbearing, but definitely a bit tedious and annoying. Like sometimes needing to go back and forth between portals because the quests/quest markers wouldn't update. Or sometimes when there are a lot of enemies clustered together it won't register every hit.
    2: I'm not the biggest fan of the over explained, constantly talking, humor. I don't hate it by any means, but it does get grating after awhile.
    To balance the negative out, I did really enjoy these 2 things.
    1: The commercials/environmental stuff you can just stumble upon or interact with. Like the payphone or T.V.s in the city hub area. The obviously improved TV skits had me dying, specifically the sock puppet, cuck humor skit.
    2: Surprisingly enough, the movement was pretty fun, it was sluggish at times, but it felt good swinging around, running on walls, and set packing to get height on enemies.

    The guy that made the video said to comment for the devs, so that's what I'm doing.
    You don't have to make a good game, but if you're going to try, then you could definitely try harder. Personally, I think the only reason the game is polarizing is because you already have an audience that likes your show and your humor. If you didn't have that, then this game would probably just be bad or ok instead of polarizing.
    For me, I had a hard time connecting with the characters and the game itself because I'm not a kid, and I need more than just mad jokes every couple minutes. The combat could use a lot of work, and the game play itself could use some more work.
    Personally, I will not be there for the sequel. I didn't hate the game but it was extremely lackluster for something that I really wanted to be good and had hope for.
    If you decide to make a more serious game that maybe requires some strategy and keep your humor, then I will be there for that. You didn't make a bad game here, but you didn't make a good game either.
    (Bonus) I really did like the knife. Something about a sadistic weapon made to stab people just hits right with me and I liked the accent as well. That knife is what held it together for me.
