I am not one of those bigger gaming websites no 2-minute reviews here only details. Videogame reviews all the time. So if you are tired of short reviews, ones that don't discuss all the games, this is the right place. No big website 2-minute stuff here.
Coverage includes ps4, PS5, XBox series X, Xbox one, pc, Xbox 360, Wii, Wiiu, Switch, and digital storefronts like Steam, as well as companies like Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo

Laughing at the fact that I heard a dev describe the nutsack gun as "it looks like something you might eat" and now you're over here calling it an alien nutsack.
...no way hahahaha. NO WAY really?
Well...maybe eat was the wrong word😉
I mean, it looks like it would BBQ ok.
Why not both?
Looks like what Taco Bell is making these days
"If you buy a game at launch, you are paying the most amount of money for the worst version of a game." -TotalBiscuit
And if people stop buying games at launch there won’t be any games.
Edit: Not saying a broken game is acceptable, just saying both statements are true.
Depends the type of game
That's why microsoft gamepass is the best thing that has come to gaming since backwards compatibility, which ironically microsoft also does really well. I probably would have overlooked great games like this and Remnant from the Ashes, if not for Gamepass.
RIP
@@PotatoJonson or they stop rushing out unstable games???
Unfortunately Wait till it works needs to be a permanent option nowadays... And quite often the one that will be selected. Oh, and 😂😂😂
Man... and on next gen devs want 70 and up for games. This is prob why games die faster now than before. Drop a game now that dont work at 70 and ppl bash the game till the point in a month its irrelevant lol
its gonna keep happening ,imagine launch a halfbaked product and people still buy it and making big profit,i dont thing its gonna be stop soon
@@ibiminai online games die faster now because every studio is spamming the market with poorly made online games to try catch ‘the next big thing’ in online play cash cows. Most of them have no staying power whatsoever
@@joyboy6067 nah it might not. Look at cyberpunk. Those refunds and ps store bans hurt them badly. It shows consumers aint having it no more. Like rn its no excuse to have a poorly made game.
@@peterelliott4922 your right. They make games grindy to keep gameplay hours up. It used to be a game stood on its own but now thye count on online multiplayer. I be looking at some of these games like they are remakes of other poorly made games.
"Just like blood pressure noone cares until it becomes a problem." you funny guy you
Read this exactly when it said it lol
@@jeffcarrier9808 love when that happens hahah
More clever than funny
That was hilarious
@@careyunknown3449 ever heard of tongue and cheek
“Wait til it works” lmao honestly, I have said before that your reviews needed an option like that. Glad you included it!
I was exactly what I thought when I played the demo. Wasn’t impressed nor pissed. It just seems like it has potential that it hasn’t reached yet. I had better first impressions for Remnant: From the Ashes than this game.
Hopefully it doesn't become a recurring thing. We don't need devs to keep releasing half-baked games :/
@@kitthekat6844 It's already a recurring thing, this has been happening for 5+ years now. Every online only launch has come out broken.
Wait for sale is better
@@OmarCruize wait for sale =/= wait til it works
As a senior gamer, I appreciate Grandma mode very much
Yep, I've had to let go of the harder level games, Destiny 2 was a bugger for me. Good to see other senior gamers.
"Like in any origin story: something that should have killed you, made you stranger"
That hit hard
I've been playing it since launch, and apart from not being able to connect for a few hours I've been having a blast, absolutely love it.
Exactly. Wasnt that motivated in years.
"You're looking for the *Premium* version of the website."
I think we all know what kind of website he's talking about.
UA-cam
He's talking about Etsy, of course...
20 hours in and loving it. Had 2 instances of an insane difficulty spike, turned the world tier down just for that encounter and then moved on.
Yeah adjusting difficulty on the fly is very helpful
@@dtanobo it really is, just gotta swallow your pride and then turn it back up after😂. Did not like the healing mechanic of the Pyro in the demo tho I will say.
Are you playing on Gamepass? Or did you buy it?
@@jarg8I bought it for launch day ps4
@@mckookie2967 funny enough I thought the same but the life drain has saved me more than anything. I'm finding it a bit tougher on trickster but I'm low level (15) so I'm sure that will change lol
The biggest issue for me is the reliance on the servers even when you’re playing solo. For a game that markets itself as ‘not live service’, it needs to have an offline mode.
This was my problem...im enjoying the game but feel this should have been an offline single player online coop game. Its a shame they had to go this route as it makes no sense...the whole preventing cheating thing is B.S. to me.
Perfect review for this game. As someone who has beaten the main story already despite the connectivity issues, I'd recommend that everyone who just now heard about this game: wait. Wait until they fix the known bugs and hopefully their cutscenes (surprised the absolute janky cutscenes weren't mentioned in this review). And wait until the server issues are 100% fixed. There's no greater pain than finally killing a bullet sponge only to be forced to redo the fight because of connectivity issues.
It's really fine.
Already 30 hours played and there's option to stop camera shake.
People are just fuking drama queens.
If you're grinding a looter shooter and are worried about skip able cutscenes, maybe playing the wrong genre 🤔
It is already fixed. Works fine.
There's an option for cutscene smoothness, ramp it up to 100 and its not janky
@@Stanwize I'm not talking about camera shake really. Weird movements and out of sync action cutaways plague the story. Not to mention late animations, weird fabric physics, and I swear the cutscenes don't fade to black early enough. There's always one frame where a character turns stiff and other animations just slam to a stop.
I actually found the narrative oddly enjoyable. There’s one sidequest that COMPLETELY threw me off because I was assuming it would be another generic “save a guy” task, and the game makes it like it IS another boring “save a guy” task, only to pull the rug under you and replace it with... something surprising. It’s been a while since a game was able to trick me like this. There’s definitely heart in this one. And the gear mod system is better than any game of the genre. You can start creating fairly sophisticated skill builds very early, something that other games of it’s kind will not let you do till the endgame, if ever. Also, weapon variants are great, allowing you to be flexible with your gun’s behaviour.
Its so awful that today you can see a game a know for a fact it’s going to be a mess on release and ultimately not even worth half the price tag, then it comes out and your completely right. What is going on in the industry that we can see these train wrecks a mile away so easily??
I know it’s not just this genre and you can see it coming in other genres as well, but pretty much every looter shooter has been chasing borderlands success and only warframe has come close. It’s such a difficult genre to get right because you can have all the loot in the world but if it isn’t fun or interesting (like most of the litter shooters) it doesn’t matter. I’ve heard destiny 2 has it’s fans, but I found it as generic and boring as the first one, but could see that as another example next to warframe that pulled it off. Everything else destiny, the division 1-2, anthem, the avengers etc (even assassins creed to an extent without the shooter aspect) and now this game are just boring and generic, even the loot aspect of great games like god of war just seems boring and tacked on. A loot system is very hard to get right in non or non traditional mmos
Thank god I mostly play indies.
Game seems fun so far. Technical issues and difficulty spikes aside... I like that you can replay missions for loot and experience grind. Not enough games incorporate that
Remnant?
I feel like a lot of the difficulty is "how close is your gear to max level?" I struggle a bit when the world level goes up and then I go to a new zone. Only times I've downshifted the world level, the yellow bar was barely 10% filled, you know?
Really wish you could mine titanium.
@@dvornikovalexei I found that game to be utter trash lol.
@@DannyboyO1 I agree with you. Even with fully upgraded weapons and armor the spikes are ruthless lol. But higher tiers in a zone I’m replaying missions in doesn’t seem too hard
@@DannyboyO1 I agree
“Whether you play alone or solo” lmao
Was hoping someone would get it
It is a really addicting game. Just can't stop playing it. Really really fun. The servers seems better now
yep no issues for three days straight now. first two days have been spotty but oh well.. worldwide launch on 5 systems... i expected worse.
love the gameplay and story
Same here. Maybe it's because I didn't expect much from it, to begin with. But I really hope that if we see a sequel, they will at least give us an offline mode and a better skill tree.
Same. I keep seeing critics trashing it and I'm thinking "Are we playing the same game?" Server issues on launch have been a staple forever, and no one ever seems to expect it. The server issues I have had on this game were pretty mild in comparison to games in the past. Haven't had ANY issue since Sunday. Love this game!
Sleeper hit of 2021, to my mind. You know it's a good game when you stay up way later than intended and you wake up thinking about it. 30 hours in and I'm hooked.
How is the cover system? Is it really like the division ? Does your character move his hands and gun properly in cover or is it janky ? I love me some good cover shooters but only if it works well
Thank you for the review, Karak! You're the only reviewer I trust! Picked up Disco Elysium because of your review and it is fantastic! I wouldn't have even tried it if it wasn't for you. Thanks again!!!
Me too!!
That game is awesome
Absolutely zero interest in a game that could have its service shut down at any time. When I buy a game I want to know that it's mine whether or not I have an internet connection a month from now or 10 years from now. Up until the last few years, that's what it meant to me to own a game. Thanks as always for the coverage ACG, always appreciate the work that you put in and the consistent perspective
@@shabath since I switched to PC I "own" most of my games. Only way they stop being mine is if every torrent link it scrubbed from the internet and all of my hard drives explode
One of the biggest problems with this game is how much it tries to copy the movement of Gears of war and that just doesn't work with the rest of it
Played this game for a couple of hours,haven't used the cover system once,just stand by a wall and shoot.
I’m not too far into it so far but I’m really enjoying it, it reminds me of a faster paced version of gears.
I'm sick of this comparison. Part of what makes gears great was the weight to everything and nothing in outriders feels that way. It feels cheap as hell and boring to play imo
@@tomlapisto2840 ok, so a cheap and arguably boring version of gears 😄
@@tomlapisto2840 oh shut up you GOW fanboy the cover bouncing and gore is very similar to gears and was clearly inspired by it. You probably still think GOW is the best franchise even after the piss poor gears 4
Without the connectivity issues this game is an easy instant recommendation for me. It's very fun. I quite like the voice acting and writing, the story is ok, the levels are fun, the guns and gunplay, especially with mods, are satisfying. But the tech issues are just unreal. Trying to play on PC with a friend has been a nightmare- we just stopped for the day because we just couldn't keep going. Hourly disconnects, horrible lag that has me jumping all around the map and unable to dodge enemy abilities, glitches where my entire interface disappears and won't come back without a restart, a few instances where we would fast-travel to a new area but end up in different places, frequent game crashes from trying to turn in quests or just because... There are a lot of issues. Hopefully the devs can get it figured out in the next week and it won't be so frustrating.
12:12 my man murdering bass guitarists like they don't matter.
We need a montage of his metaphors. Dude could be a rapper.😂
yes please
This game has had a disastrous start and you make good points about concerns about the game yet I can't put it down. I know I'm not the only one since it's in the top 5 on steam right now. This game is just fun and the options for customization of your weapons and armor and the different play styles within classes is impressive. The challenge, the fun factor and the loot keep me coming back for more.
It's one of the most played games on steam right now. How is that even close to disastrous?
I've thoroughly enjoyed this game. It HAD some connection issues on day 1, but apart from that, I can't get enough.
If they added a offline mode I'd definitely buy this game in a heartbeat. Until then I guess I'll continue playing BL2.
It's online only ?😰
Why not BL3?
Yeah the online requirement to be able to this game was a huge buzzkill for me.
I'll never understand forcing players to be online for single player games/modes.
@@Dr.Moogle I love BL3 but there isn't really much to do atm. Hopefully the new dlc will be good enough to bring players back.
Their choice of making it online only was a very, very dumb one. It's sad, because the game on its own is very fun at least for me. But yeah, I just got hit with 3 crashes in the span of an hour of gameplay, so my general optimism is bloodied. I'm holding off my steam review until the problems are fixed. At the very least - so far it seems the servers stayed up today. I was able to play when I wanted to play (lol what a concept right?). But these crashes...oof.
Babies first online launch?
@@Stanwize No, but again - it shouldn't have been always online in the first place. This isn't an MMO. This isn't a live service game. And because they chose to do this, any time your internet or their servers hiccup, you get disconnected - even if you're playing solo. But I guess you're perfectly fine with that.
@@soulechelon2643 Also this game is gonna die completely and become unplayable to anyone who purchased it in 5-10 years, because devs decided it's not worth maintaining servers anymore, or got bought out by a bigger publisher then dismantled as it tends to happen.
@@soulechelon2643 the p2p architecture is built into the game fundamentally. This should be self evident to anyone with a working brain stem. Please put dumb comments on twitter.
@@Stanwize And yet many people, including ACG, agrees with me. Interesting. But either way, if you're gonna randomly resort to insults, you're not worth talking to. Unlike you, I actually want this game to thrive, and not having an offline option is hurting it more than helping.
I really liked the skill trees in this game. They give you the options to really customize how you wanna play, and the skills actually have an impact on gameplay. Im shocked to hear people say they don't like it. I cant think of a shooter with a better one
This game helped me notice that I mostly gravitate towards high mobility based co-op shooters like Risk Of Rain 2 and Deep Rock Galactic etc
13 hours in the full version so far, after 18 hours with the demo, and I don't regret buying it. I'm having way more than enough fun to overlook a lot of the issues.
love playing as trickster. Sniping what I can from a distance while they try to close the gap... only to realize they F-ed up, running up on a trickster. Or if they were staying in cover and/or sniping me, teleporting behind them and watching the hope fade from their faces... alongside with the rest of the bodies/skeletons.
I can’t believe that you still haven’t hit at least over a million subscribers.
It's not that surprising honestly. Most people buy games according to their own standards, not because some random youtuber said so.
Why would they sub if they only looked for that one specific review about the game they were on edge about.
@@jariolavilipponen3500 there are other reviewers with a million sub, so there goes that theory.
@@jariolavilipponen3500 i'd say it's the complete opposite these days, many people make purchases based on UA-camr reviews or other types of reviews on the internet. having someone give their opinion on a product is always helpful to a potential buyer, even if they don't agree with it. and saying these are just "Some random UA-camr" drastically downplays what Reviewers actually have to do to get videos like this out. Sure it's a person you don't know, but they put in so much time and effort to play these games, while thinking about the different criteria for a review, and then going to make the video itself. So yes they are "Random UA-camrs" But they have a valid opinion.
@@jariolavilipponen3500 just to add to what everyone is saying, I think the average consumer doesn't have the time or experience quite often. ACG has played maybe 100 times the games an average player has, i know some people who have only played shooters and sport games. Karak knows good level design when he sees it, average person doesnt know what level design is.
His aggressive e-begging put me off. He also loves to talk about how amazing and honest he is at reviewing games, like get over yourself bud. Go work a real job for a 50hr week then come whine to me for money to play fuckin video games for a living lol.
I actually love this game so much so far.
Same here. It caught me by surprise and while not perfect, the gameplay and loot system has been super hooked
Same. Didn't expect to be this hooked on the game at all.
Yup - loving it so far. Stinks so many people are having such major issues..
Thats awesome glad you are digging it
@@ACGreviews I'm curious to see how people enjoy the endgame. I've never been hooked by looter shooters but this one is fun - though, what a damn mess of a launch. I wonder what is going on between Square and PCF here, and where the issue lies.
This game should have had single player without online as an option. And also they could have let u play the story with bot controlled team. Sometimes we could do without online team and chill with bot team.
9:52 "whether you're playing alone or solo" xD
Sending out some to people with no friends xD
I am straight up addicted to this game. Been playing it non stop since launch. The first few hours are super weak but once you get abilities and loot, it is awesome. It's better than most of its competition with a fraction of the budget.
Also I've somehow not faced many server issues while playing the game so there's that. Maybe 3 disconnects in the first 2 days but nothing since then.
The fact that you can grind out earlier missions to raise world tier is awesome. The game can be annoying but it’s starting to come together. You’re right though beginning was meh
reason why i havent bought this yet is the fact that you need to be always online on a non-live service game as they call this LOL and it freakin uses peer-to-peer connectivity like tf?!.. if you need to connect to a server just to play solo why not just make a god damn dedicated server for multiplayer lol and the snipers looks and feels like a fckn blow dart lmao
I'll wait 4 to 6 months when it drops to $20 or so and try it then. No interest in multiplayer but single player for $20 it seems ok. No shortage of games to tide me over until it drops to a fair price.
"Wait Till it Works", that's a very fitting option for most games these days 😂
Tell that to Anthem players 😏
Though to be fair Outriders is a complete game out of the gate, which is great.
Honestly pretty stupid that it's always online. Heard that and did a 180. I liked the demo, flaws and all, but I've had my fill of getting disconnected mid mission or mid boss fight.
And now its suffering from Destiny Patch Syndrome, because it's 2021 and we can't have a defacto decent game with honorable practices
This game is so successful Square Enix might update Marvels Avengers to give everyone guns with a cover system.
they would need to first update this game to have a cover system that works
Great review as usual.
ACG mentions this game is on PC, Xbox, and PS4.
Note: This game is on PS5, too.
Another thing, I would not consider this a “single player game”.
While it can be played that way,
it is better enjoyed as a co-op experience.
When it is firing on all cylinders it is a blast, but the technical issues have definitely set this title back a bit.
I hadn't seen one of your reviews in quite some time because I was busy with new life changes, but I'm 19 seconds in and you have already succeeded in capturing that same ACG energy that made me subscribe to you years ago...and for that, I say thank you. You'll forever be my source for finding game reviews and other related content.
This game will definitely be on sale in 2 months or less
And im guessing a massive sale. Like 60% off because it can't sell.
lol it seems nearly every game reviewer played as the guy main character, I tried him for a bit and yes to voice acting comes off flat.
The chick main however doesn't, in fact I really enjoyed her voice acting.
ya disliked her much much more
My buddy and I have been playing Gears 5 together but we prefer the campaign over mp and horde so outriders has been a blast for us. It's not a perfect game by any means but I think it's inclusion on gamepass makes it a gem for the right audience.
I might buy it if it ever gets a 50% off or more sale. I ain't paying 90 dollarydoos for it.
Australian?
If you’re still round 67% on steam until the 25th.
One of my subscribers just gifted me this game on Steam yesterday, and because I wanted to understand what I was getting into before I launched the game, as I always have for the past 7 or so years, I go to your review video first. It's not only because you're so frank, it's because your reviews are always informative. I have never commented on any of your videos before, but do know that I've been watching them for years and years. The best thing about it is as I say, "You never know the shit that is gonna come out of his mouth", and I've always loved that about your reviews, during the review in particular where you went on an almost semi-creepy diatribe over alien nut sacks. I loved it, expected it, and I will always have always enjoyed your rants.
Now I know a bit about the game I'm about to play. I have, as I said, always enjoyed your channel, and I would love to support you on Patreon, but I'm also a struggling UA-cam gamer, and need support myself to get by. I know the struggle. I'm a PC gamer as well, and just t his paycheck I had to drop $150 just for yet another new Xbox controller and headset as I was sick of the JBL Headset I had being literally held together by duct tape for the last six months. Viewers don't realize how ghetto-rigged our setups can become over time lol. I won't even get into my franken-PC, because I'm sure yours is the same; the strange mutation of Asus and Intel gangbanging MSI and Nvidia for space in my tower. You're real, and I get it.
Keep it up, and thank you for the vid. Maybe some day we can work together on something. Peace-

Oddly, I actually really liked the male PC voice actor. Thought the deadpan and soft spoken worked really well.
I feel like the sound is pretty immersive, especially abilities. As an actor I actually also thought the main male VA did a pretty good job. Enjoying the story too. Connectivity and multiplayer is a huge issue on ps5 though.
To me this game is like Taco Bell.
Yes, I could be eating something more high quality, but I don't care. Its still tasty AF.
Until it's bathroom break. Fire sauce, am i right?
@@yettiluch1 But you'll do it again next weekend😂
@@josh043p6 i think I'm a get some taco bell today 😂
Your completely right. If you have game pass then check it out but it's not worth the £60 price tag.
I have been playing it on Xbox and when it's working its ok but as soon as I start getting into it I get a server error.
They say it's not a live service but it kinda is. For playing solo there is no reason to be online.
It just feels dated.
The main thing for me is the movement. I'm used to destiny movement and this feels like you have grav boots on.
I have it on gamepass and even though it’s cross play I bought it on my Ps5 I love it it’s fun.
I had no interest for this game.
But since it's on gamepass I gave it a go with a friend and we are enjoying it more than expected.
The combat is gritty and challenging, the story and characters are fully voiced surprisingly good and deep but doesn't take itself too seriously and has plenty of humor, which is good. The world is cool, Trench Town, anyone? Leveling up feels good. Optimizing your gear and abilities is impactful, and the armor sets look good.
It's a good game.
I am having so much fun with this game. Loved seeing you did a review on it.
glad there's still someone actually covering technical issues in details instead of mentioning them by the end of the review without barely any explanation, thanks ACG
Why does Square/Enix keep trying to make these “Live Service” games, they’re obviously not that good at it (cough cough Avengers)
They are just the publisher for Outriders, People Can Fly developed it. Not owned by Square/Enix.
FYI: most annoyances are gone with the 10.40. Patch... (For me...) in 50 Hours: One UE4 Crash and one Disconnect... One HUNT Boss Battle Bugged out... leaving me the Loot... but needed to replay that one... And One loss of a Checkpoint... Like always... good Review...
I definitely had some fun with the demo on PS5 and PC but I’m for sure going to wait for a sale. The combat can be super enjoyable but I found that some classes are definitely far more fun to use compared to others, the Trickster for example, but with the server issues (always online) and performance issues. Also the story and voice acting kinda put me off so much that I caught myself just skipping cutscenes. I’m going to hold off until it goes on sale.
This kind of games really need "True Offline Mode" so people still can enjoy the game on release smoothly, even if it's just the story campaign.
MHW managed to soften the online connection problem because of this, sure as hell people very happy with MH Rise too.
I don't really care what topic Karak talks about, I'm here for the writing and the humor. "They're called skills trees because they can die and fall over, like this one" 🤣
Biggest problem is that endgame is all time based so if you rolled a tank you need to reroll. But i reached ct13 on warden via silver ct12, so its fun to make up builds and try to make it work.
You are a god damn poet Karak! Thank you for never ceasing to surprise me with your lyrical prose!
Karak is the "Dennis Miller" of video games, he loves him some metaphors.
Wow, I have never experienced any issues you brought up, I bought the game yesterday (4.4) so maybe some of it got fixed but I have been enjoying the game so far.
Just came here after seeing Angry Joe's Rant about the constant crashes. 😅
guy's gotta eat, I guess
Drink G Fuel.
hahah ikr ? me too
@@EdwardViaTomato what ?
I didn't enjoy this game at first, I couldn't make it fun for me. I decided to give it another chance but this time I changed my class and I have to say I've been having stupid fun with it since. Stringing abilities together is so much fun.
Personally I've really enjoyed the level design in Outriders
This one wasn't on my radar but the thing that sticks out to me is how it seems like the movement and overall combat really feels like Gears of War. Which is rarer than it should be, it seems like most cover shooters forgot that the movement is part of what made Gears work.
Definitely interested, I'll wait for a price drop and some patches.
Who else is hear after AngryJoe’s Rant? :’)
He’s probably half cocked drunk again lol
I like his rants but that man can't review to save his life.
Been playing this game for maybe 6-8 hours now. I would have mentioned something about how well they do the coop campaign. If we ignore the connection issues, they way they map progress is really well done. Someone triggers a quest, creating a vote for the other players. It brings everyone in to the cutscenes. And those pesky dialogue scenes when the player has to make a choice? Each person is brought in to their own version once they start the dialogue. I was really impressed by this as not many games can do it right.
It’s crazy that we had the blown cyberpunk launch and now another blown launch with outriders.
Woah two games out of dozens and dozens had difficult launches. What a coincidence!!
Outriders didn’t sandbag consumers like cyberpunk did. What CDPR did was deception
LOL love when ACG give the whole "As you know rate games on a blah blah blah rating system" spiel but then doesn't actually give one of those ratings. This one is a tough one to judge. There was a lot of praise in the video but judging from the line about make sure you able to get a refund, I would say this was in the rental/deep deep sale territory atm.
I'm loving it. Another victim of Covid-19 with development probably. Bought a copy to support even though I have GamePass. Lots of fun.
Game is great. I'm having a lot of fun with it. A lot of people are complaining about difficulty but I imagine those people haven't played something with this tier type system before. It's no different that Diablo 3 Torment ranks. Just because Torment 6 is unlocked doesn't mean you are ready for it. Drop the level down, gear up, pump the level back up. World Tiers are the same thing. I'm looking forward to the end game and stable servers.
Ya haven't heard that much
@@ACGreviews I'm seeing the difficultly complaint a lot on Facebook posts. Maybe not the best source for information, but a source none the less.
The gameplay and building your character in this game is awesome. I really like it.
I play at 1440p everything maxed and capped at 140 FPS running with a 6700k and a 3070 with a gsync monitor. It’s always at 110- 140 FPS. I had problems playing Saturday morning but no problems besides that. I really do like the game as is and I think I’ll get my money’s worth. I think it’s a definite buy. It’s replay is higher then fynex rising because of the multiplayer part that I’ll jump into once I max my pyro out. I got bored after 20 hrs of that game because I didn’t see what else there was to do after I saw all The powers I wanted to see.
Yeah when I played that demo or beta or whatever like a month ago I just felt like it was missing so much to the world and the gameplay, I hope they turn it around cause it's a world I want to experience but not in the current state.
I always love ACG's reviews. In depth, great jokes and almost ALWAYS a wait for a sale........With a 3% must buy percentage per year. Keep up the good work.
Truly a fascinating game. Although it may fail in terms of polish compared to some other looter shooters, this is the most engaging and fun time I've ever had in the genre.
Who cares if the skill tree is boring if pretty much all the game-changing skill modifications are on your armor? Besides, there are still bigger class changes that happen in the tree represented by the bigger circles.
Also no mention of the personality of the main character? The dude has so much of it he is easily the best character.
Lastly, I always had the assumption that the cover is not for you, it's for the enemies to protect them from pretty much a god...YOU. You don't need to use it at all from my experience, but that may change in higher world tiers.
Great review but I feel it missed a few details.
I honestly like how the characters interaction with each other, it feels...natural...idk if that's the right word but I felt interested in some of them. Maybe its the fact my character talks or maybe cuz they already have a backstory there personality is already there? I feels a bit Mass Effect if that makes any sense.
ya I can see that
All I read was Mass Effect. 🥰
It's both weirdly well written and edgelord. Some cheese writing that fits sort of well.
"Weather you like the video or not, please subscribe and thumbs up" Love that lol
Absolutely ZERO excuse for online only on this title.
Gtfoh its literally advertised as a co-op looter shooter what do you excpect
@@jackking9271 *expect
the technical issues being fixed won't deal with the fact that this generic attempt to fill the co-op 'couple and a third wheel' looter-shooter void many of us have been wanting to fill is nothing but a series of stop-gaps to unboxing some modest weapon upgrade. Everything this game tries to do another game blows it out of the water, and it has the gall to price itself just as high for a tenth of the content.
I just find it hard to justify buying Outriders when I already regularly play games like Warframe, Borderlands 3, and The Division 2. Feels like buying a 4th car when I already drive 3.
I subbed because you asked in 5 seconds and didn’t drag it out for 2 min. Straight to the point. Love the content
Dude it wouldn't even load on my ultrawide lol
Game is running alot better now.. not experiencing server issues.. Total blast loving it 👍
This game reminds me of remnant rise from the ashes so much.
and partly that is why I'll never buy this mediocre crap
I should've waited for Metrics,, he is spot on. Every game you buy you should have to check a box that you have watched an ACG review and understand the terms of of your purchase.
Usually I agree with the reviewers about most games but this is one I fully disagree on. To start the connection problems were trash no denying. The coop still doesn't seem to work well. But I played through the campaign and some end game content and I freaking love the game play. The loot is cool and making your build is awesome. Never played a game were you fight as many enamies at once and it's great. Wish it was not online only
Oof he said Bass doesn't matter... I can hear Davi504 cocking his slap hand in a godly way.
Who's blasting the fans just because you know this game tanks in a month...
The online-only has reasons believe it or not:-
1-Avoid having the entire co-op scene become infested with hackers and people using trainers to equip broken hacked gear, if you played Diablo 3 on consoles (where it had no online-only requirements like the D3 PC version) you should know that lack online only requirement utterly ruined the online portion of the game making it nearly unplayable except with friends, which isn't ideal at all.
2-The game being online-only allows devs to do minor adjustments to the game and balance changes on the fly (no pun intended) without having to go through the long and protracted patch approval process on consoles.
Whether you think those reasons are good enough or not that's up for debate, but to say there are no reasons for whatsoever is simply not true.
Personally I think they could solve this by separating online and offline modes and having seperate characters for each mode, so you can do whatever the heck you want offline, but you can't take your hacked items online and ruin the game for others trying to play legitimately and have a fun challenge.
Surprised you didn't mention the really awkward fade-to-black cuts for a cutscene that last 2 seconds then another fade-to-black
Or that the screen shakes on cut scenes.
@@Rickystakpants theres an option for that
Connection issues seem to already be fixed as I haven’t disconnected at all in the past 24 hours. Definitely loving the game, would recommend
This game is so fucked. No online is required yet by doing so they have caused nothing but a fuckup.
Also yes I know someone SOMEONE is going to come in here and defend this shit. Whatever. Liking it is one thing with its issues AND tacking online SP is stupid
Liked what I played though but no way am I telling people to get it.

and 4k monitors lol
@@chronosschiron WTF are you talking about slap D***?
I've been playing since launch and I've gotten a couple of disconnects on launch day and nothing since. Am I just lucky?
I 100% agree with this review (and this is coming from a guy who bought the game). While I don't feel like I wasted my money, I would suggest to other people to wait for a sale. The game is fun overall and has a lot of very good elements to it, but the issues that hamper the experience can't be ignored. I don't like rating games with numbers, but if I were to do so, I would say it's about a 65 to 70 percentile depending on what the player's preferences are.
It's an AA game with a AAA pricetag, if it was 30 instead of 50 everyone's reviews would be much more forgiving.
The fact that single player can’t be played offline makes this a pass for me. Great review as always of course!
It's not SP. You are just choosing to play with your lobby closed...
