@@titanicpat1275 LOL true. Along with the Aryan girl turning out to be bad (although that was in the films too) - although the way Jones snubbed her letter and couldn't remember her made me think she was right.
@@titanicpat1275 obviously the blonde woman was always going to be bad. That said, the way Jones ignored her letter and forgot her made me on her side, TBF.
While I'm not sure about the entire game, I do like the concept of the story involving the Nephilim (basically a group of mysterious people or beings of great strength and size who lived before and after the Flood). Which Nerdrotics talked about a while ago on Forbidden Frontiers. Feel free to check it out.
Having watched the behind-the-scenes look at MachineGame's staff I'm not surprised that even on max hardness (heh) you can take out two "facists" with one sweep of a slightly built broom.

@@dfqgoing_on6899100% - great game. I was lucky enough to play it when it came out. They would’ve had a perfect script for the fourth movie too had they simply had the balls to just adapt the game. Played it through quite a few times as a kid via both paths: I still prefer Wits, but Fists is fun too. 🙂
@@CodSlap Fate Of Atlantis was originally planned as the fourth movie but because of different circumstances it "only" got made as a game and a comic book.
@@stevekramerf242 Thanks! I seem to remember reading something similiar at the time, back when physical print game mags were the only news source for stuff like this. The game’s review left me with the impression that the movie adaptation might’ve still been in the works at the time, but the plan seemed to fall through later. I was really bummed - the ten-year-old me couldn’t understand who in their right mind would ever scrap a project like this, as it combined all the best elements of _anything_ Indy ever. I still think that if they’d gone through with the production, we would’ve actually gotten a fourth Indy movie, and the series finale would have been the best movie in the entire series. Oh well, the three movies we got were good, though. Sad they never made any more. Ever.
When they want to make a white character black we are asked to justify why it’s wrong as if the default is it’s fine and we have to have good reason why not to. But if you wanted to recast any famous black character as white then you’d have to give a good reason why you should make the change. The burden of proof is never consistent. If you need a good reason to cast a famous black character as white then you should have a good reason for the opposite
Ya pretty strong start imo, even if half of it was ripped from the first movie. But from what I'm seeing in these comments they overplay the museum stuff wayy too much. We know we're playing Indy, the game doesn't need to show him being a historian for hours on end. Give us one or two of those scenes and then you can break up the shooter gameplay with traps/puzzles and setpieces, like a normal action/adventure game *cough* Uncharted *cough*
The biggest issue is the A.I. and weapons so far. Other than that it feels like any other "walking simulator" that's been released before. I just wish there was more going on here..

Az is correct. Vsync was good when it was the only option to help prevent massive tear lines across your screen. It is no longer that, and should be consigned to the bin containing once-were-good options. The best thing about this game is it is another chance for me to not pay Disney for something I might enjoy, even if other people end up saying it is good. Plenty of other games out there for a bloke who is so far behind he still has Psychonauts 2 queued up to play next and a plan to finish off my second playthrough of BG3.
How lazy of them to just rehash the intro to Raiders but make it playable. Giving us something we've already seen a million times for the last 40 years.
The secret level in Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine also has you go through the Lost Ark intro dungeon and the surrounding area, but many years later. It's not just a 100% copy and paste scene by scene, but the level is expanded in fun and interesting ways. Triggering the nostalgia for the movie but still adding to it. This just seems like a lazy way to pad the play-time :/
Yeah, that was a fun bonus in infernal machine. Emperors Tomb did something similar where there's a stage at club obi Wan from the opening of Temple of Doom, but it's not recreating that scene.
The only thing i feel the need to praise this game for is for making the fascist relevant evil guys. So many stories has the same sadistic german nazi villain. Even this one. But at least this one remembered that there were other choices, even if it just for style purposes. The italians, the japaneses or the commies. So many different and more fresh options, they always pick the freaking nazi. I know, they look cool as hell as villains, but it gets tiresome. It would be funnier and freshier to see Indy against the Japanese imperial army for example.
Ironic how Nazis are always the "bad guys", but everybody forgets how they both with Soviet Union invaded and split Poland. History written by the victors.
I really don't see this "technical achievement" and amazing gameplay all the reviews are touting. I see typical Bethesda NPCs and the ability to pick shit up and throw it at them. Hardly groundbreaking.
Fact. It's fanboy goggles. This game is janky, broken, and has an ancient level design. 3rd person was too technical, so they chucked on 1st person. No OST music is also ignored.
Exactly the kind of game I cannot stand. You play 10 seconds then trigger a cutscene. Play another 20 seconds and trigger a cutscene. Every time you do a thing a cutscene happens. I can’t stand it.
luckily in this game you didn't trigger a cut scene every ten seconds... you havent got a clue what you're talking about ... try actually playing there game first
Um, that is the point of the first level. You’re supposed to replay a segment from Raiders, which transitions into the story. You all really don’t pay attention at all lmao
Oh God, Indie's beatin' revolver has a lanyard swivel on the bottom...ouch! What an odd mechanic, to have most melee weapons break when used to win a single fight. I find it offensive how many wine bottles are depicted lying around Italy.
Okay... so we are in Italy during the single moment in history where it IS actually correct to call the government Fascist, and the said Fascist troops are not straight out beating the literally stuffing out of a man who is clearly both breaking the law and violently resisting arrest. This isn't the 'Modern Audience' period where police have sensibility training to ensure that all violent people resisting arrest have their FeeFees coated in sweet smelling glitter at all times. This is the 30s. They would literally crack your skull if you gave them the slightest excuse. Sorry, not feeling this game.
It would have been safe and quiet on the streets within the countries at the time. The new governments got rid of the anarcho-tyranny (which was the reason the people turned to them). We're still in that period in all western countries, where the marxist governments are using violent foreigners and "subversive" activist groups to create chaos and division, and justify power grabs and abuse of the citizens by the government.
Is this new Snape (if true) going to be the defense against the dark arts master? Oh Az! Your Indy must be Scouse. He has to steal everything that's not nailed down and is too stupid to stop even when somebody is watching.
The settings are nice. The character models look wonky to me, especially the eyes. The only egregious wokeness I see so far is how they label all the people "Fascist" in Italy, which seems silly. "Man" or "Soldier" would make more sense.
@@Beuwen_The_Dragon But at the time they would have been referred to as enemy soldiers or guards, just like the Germans or Japanese would have, not blanketed with the term fascist
@@lemmac7973 I wonder what happens when you come across a soldier who is "Outwardly Fascist but Privately Has Pro-Democracy Leanings"? Can you still punch him?
3 hours without a girlboss.... something tells me they added a lot of extra gameplay to the prologue to keep people playing. Also, all this sneaking around Italy feels like they were cribbing from Assassin's Creed.
Do I have to change my review? Side Scrollers only talked about Halo which was pretty entertaining, but skipped the hard news on that one! Let us find out Az will know!
Im not normally one to care about graphics... but when youre going shot for shot of a classic movie and the movie looks gorgeous it really makes this game look like shit.
@@rafterman5072 Maybe it's due to UA-cam compression but it really doesn't look great. Not horrible but definitely not 2020s standard, looks like mid 2010s.
@@SkeletonXinI kinda know what you mean.. I watched a side-by-side of it. And the biggest issue is the shadows and the crispness of the highlights! The game is more faded and some of the animations are a little off. I don't know why they couldn't increase the blacks and whites and add film grain to match?!? 🤷🤷
Hey Az. Im playing this game also and am in the Vatican section post office section of the game, about 4 hours in. So far im liking the game and could not detect any of the DEI nonsens. The "girlboss" character has yet to make her appearence!
Yeahhhh don't wanna spoil stuff for you but just wait until the appearance of said girl boss and what comes after in the rest of the game... There's a reoccurring theme of "male fragility" in the game and the woke stuff is definitely present unfortunately.
@@ianmerkin6488 I have been in egypt and you are refering Nawal. Well yes...her character is a bit unbelievable...indipendent lesbian business woman during the 1930s in Egypt..well yeah do with that you will.

I cant wait to see how he responds to the first few minutes of Gizah. They pulled the ol bait and switch and made Indi a secondary character in the woke world of women we Indiana Jones fans wanted.
As of the first hour or so...game looks good, apart from Baker's overly-deadpan delivery the voices are decent, the non-story is inoffensive, the stealth mechanics are basic but probably the most 'sophisticated' we've seen in several years, it isn't crashing and game mechanics seem to work properly*, and there's even hints of "give a shit" in the details like reloading only as many bullets as were fired from the revolver. For a cash-grab movie tie-in I'm actually rather pleasantly surprised by what I'm seeing. The level design/layout, gameplay 'loop', and writing are the weak spots. It very much seems like they licensed someone else's competently-designed game, and modded it into an Indie Adventure on a shoestring budget. Admittedly, very much what I'd expect for a movie tie-in game. *1:56:00 notwithstanding; yeah the AI busted, but I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to piss off the entire Italian Polizei at the same time, lol. Game AI was doing pretty well, considering.
It's a solid 8. I'd best describe it as a game out of it's time that makes use of modern tech. I'm not sure it's tbe big win MS and Xbox were hoping for and i don't see it appealing to a ton of tbe younger folks, but for those old enough to grow up appreciating the first three Indy movies, this game is right up the alley.
There are takedowns but you have to be holding weapons wrench,hammer etc it doesnt work with bottles . But so far in my playthrough ive been enjoying it there isn't any dei so far so I dont know what people are complaining about. My main issues are not being able to turn off hints and i don't like the blue vignetting when crouching
@jonmartin9732 yes, yes I have. And the movies have various different action set pieces. Indy going through traps, brawls like the ones with Pat Roach, shoot outs, chase scenes and there's so far been no break in the gameplay to have anything except sneaking around and some Fist fights. Have you seen the movies? Indy was never the most stealthy character.
I don't get bored of anything. I got addicted till, like many, progress was ended by a bug/s - there's several points where people are stuck. That said, the game is below average and feels ancient. I was stuck on 55h close to getting all achievements, apart from getting the 1000 notes, or whatever it is.
Very dated (not open world, mostly a barrier maze) - the FPS is much worse than Wolfenstein. They probably added it last minute because 3rd person was too technical. Half-Life 2 from 20 years ago is levels above IJatGC. Puzzles are simple unless just confusing for non-puzzle reasons. No OST music is a disgrace and corporate greed (3:34:38 doesn't count, it's all you get, and rare). Bug-ridden - I couldn't progress right near the end, again corporate greed using you as free testers (do not report bugs or you're part of the problem!). A true "10! Masterpiece" needs to be far more ambitious - nowhere near as much variety (or slickness) as GTAV (360, 2013), MG's obviously leagues beneath Rockstar's level. And some claim AC Odyssey wasn't great, yet this is? 3rd person, open world, with online modes, the John Williams OST music, a motorbike and sidecar, trucks, camels, a fast/nimble boat, and a biplane, and it could be the claimed 9 or 10/10 masterpiece. But IJatGC is a 6/10, 7 at most.
“You are without doubt the worst adventurer I’ve ever heard of” In all seriousness though, games great if you actually take the time to read, listen, and play it. It’s a miracle you’ve stumbled through it as successfully as you have m8! Albeit great fun to watch🤣 The chick is pointless and annoying but I’d gamble they’ve toned it down. She’s not gotten in the way so far. (I’m in Egypt) you’re absolutely right that if this was not Indiana jones then no one would care but I’m shocked and impressed that a modern game is this good. The mild clunkyness almost feels like an intentional throwback to emperor’s tomb or something. Maybe I’m being too generous. Anyhow, hoping to see more on it and hail the fellowship. Oh and FNT ain’t the same without ya. Cheers!
Great? It'd be good 20 years ago, but the gameplay would still be poor. Siam is the best area, but still an old-school barrier maze, fake open world, which just makes you realise how poor the game is. No OST music is disgusting. The woman isn't even as "annoying" as the ones from the films - it always had the strong women. The puzzles are either simple or confusing inadvertently. And some claim AC Odyssey wasn't great. Absolute bug-fest too - many can't even finish it due to corporate greed not paying for testers. Yet people are patting MG/Bethesda on the back with BS reviews.
It looks boring. Where's all the action? Why would you make an Indiana Jones game a stealth game? He never really sneaks around that much during the movies.
@ManHamOrigins not really and when he does, it's to lead into an action set piece because he accidentally set off a trap or alerted his enemies to his presence.
@@SuperLaney81 what the gameplay doesn’t look great and I almost never buy a new game full price on pc I just wait for summer sale and the gameplay doesn’t look great and seen large amounts of footage.
Hot garbage. The fps melee combat looks like that Mike Tyson game on the PS1 with a graphics upgrade. The enemy AI is seriously legitimately WORSE than Star Wars Outlaws. Nice PS3 quality graphics too.
Just from a visual point of view, why does the game look so... brown? If you look at any of the three movies I don't remember them looking washed out. Even in the deserts there was still a degree of colour in them. Seems an odd design decision with the colour pallet.
when I saw rtx required I expected stalker 2 performance but also it's amazing graphics...what I see here is worse than tomb raider reboots modern tomb raiders on an oled LG in 4k 120hz with true motion activated (black frame insertion) is the most beautiful thing I've seen, true motion oled make even older games incredible it's so smooth it looks real, it's better than VR for sure

This game has Very Positive reviews on steam so far. Is there anyone here who has played it and can tell us if it's woke? I'm not watching the stream to avoid spoilers.
tldr Az gave it a 6 so far. Mauler is probably giving it a worse rating, since he scrutinizes it a lot more closely. It definitely does not deserve a high score. I just think that people are just so used to getting hot garbage games, that a somewhat competently made game looked better in comparison. So far it keeps with its setting, lets Indy do Indy stuff and does not have any egregious dialogue that reeks of pushing an agenda.
How is this boring? Im white knuckling it half the time. The more slow and dramatic parts are fantastic, and it seems the gaming community agrees. Both critics and gamers are raving about this game. It has surprised everyone and is being rewarded with high review scores. There is even a mention of goty year here and there.

Okay... so we are in Italy during the single moment in history where it IS actually correct to call the government Fascist, and the said Fascist troops are not straight out beating the literally stuffing out of a man who is clearly both breaking the law and violently resisting arrest.
This isn't the 'Modern Audience' period where police have sensibility training to ensure that all violent people resisting arrest have their FeeFees coated in sweet smelling glitter at all times. This is the 30s. They would literally crack your skull if you gave them the slightest excuse.
Sorry, not feeling this game.
It would have been safe and quiet on the streets within the countries at the time. The new governments got rid of the anarcho-tyranny (which was the reason the people turned to them). We're still in that period in all western countries, where the marxist governments are using violent foreigners and "subversive" activist groups to create chaos and division, and justify power grabs and abuse of the citizens by the government.
Is this new Snape (if true) going to be the defense against the dark arts master?
Oh Az! Your Indy must be Scouse. He has to steal everything that's not nailed down and is too stupid to stop even when somebody is watching.
The settings are nice. The character models look wonky to me, especially the eyes. The only egregious wokeness I see so far is how they label all the people "Fascist" in Italy, which seems silly. "Man" or "Soldier" would make more sense.
Yes, though given it takes place in Italy in the late 30s, at least they've finally used the label 'fascist" appropriately.
Two word: Il Duce
@@Beuwen_The_Dragon But at the time they would have been referred to as enemy soldiers or guards, just like the Germans or Japanese would have, not blanketed with the term fascist
@@lemmac7973 I wonder what happens when you come across a soldier who is "Outwardly Fascist but Privately Has Pro-Democracy Leanings"? Can you still punch him?
The game looks good, but because of Sweet Baby Inc's involvement, I'm very wary.
Even without the DEI/Bridge bullshit, it looks boring.
3 hours without a girlboss.... something tells me they added a lot of extra gameplay to the prologue to keep people playing. Also, all this sneaking around Italy feels like they were cribbing from Assassin's Creed.
Or maybe just maybe… there is nothing like that at all in it,
Do I have to change my review? Side Scrollers only talked about Halo which was pretty entertaining, but skipped the hard news on that one! Let us find out Az will know!
Im not normally one to care about graphics... but when youre going shot for shot of a classic movie and the movie looks gorgeous it really makes this game look like shit.
It really doesn’t. The game looks pretty good graphically.
@@rafterman5072 Maybe it's due to UA-cam compression but it really doesn't look great. Not horrible but definitely not 2020s standard, looks like mid 2010s.
@@SkeletonXinI kinda know what you mean.. I watched a side-by-side of it. And the biggest issue is the shadows and the crispness of the highlights! The game is more faded and some of the animations are a little off. I don't know why they couldn't increase the blacks and whites and add film grain to match?!? 🤷🤷
Hey Az. Im playing this game also and am in the Vatican section post office section of the game, about 4 hours in. So far im liking the game and could not detect any of the DEI nonsens. The "girlboss" character has yet to make her appearence!
yeah cos there isnt any DEI nonsense, you're listening to the wrong people that dont have a clue what they are even talking about
Yeahhhh don't wanna spoil stuff for you but just wait until the appearance of said girl boss and what comes after in the rest of the game... There's a reoccurring theme of "male fragility" in the game and the woke stuff is definitely present unfortunately.
Wait til you get to Egypt.....strong powerful Lesbians incoming....dei confirmed...
@@ianmerkin6488 I have been in egypt and you are refering Nawal. Well yes...her character is a bit unbelievable...indipendent lesbian business woman during the 1930s in Egypt..well yeah do with that you will.
@@ianmerkin6488 dont be so stupid , im in Egypt right now and loving it,,, so what theres a hint of lesbians , grow up! just play the game and stop acting like a child...
I cant wait to see how he responds to the first few minutes of Gizah. They pulled the ol bait and switch and made Indi a secondary character in the woke world of women we Indiana Jones fans wanted.
It should have been in third person. You're playing as Indiana Jones, and you only see him in cut-scenes? Lame!
To be fair, a third of the game is cutscenes, for what i have seen.
It plays in first better than i thought it would.
If it was third person I would have been interested. I like seeing the character at all times.
Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb from early 2000s still holds up IMHO.
Yea I wanna see his butt and the back of his head all day
As of the first hour or so...game looks good, apart from Baker's overly-deadpan delivery the voices are decent, the non-story is inoffensive, the stealth mechanics are basic but probably the most 'sophisticated' we've seen in several years, it isn't crashing and game mechanics seem to work properly*, and there's even hints of "give a shit" in the details like reloading only as many bullets as were fired from the revolver. For a cash-grab movie tie-in I'm actually rather pleasantly surprised by what I'm seeing.
The level design/layout, gameplay 'loop', and writing are the weak spots. It very much seems like they licensed someone else's competently-designed game, and modded it into an Indie Adventure on a shoestring budget. Admittedly, very much what I'd expect for a movie tie-in game.
*1:56:00 notwithstanding; yeah the AI busted, but I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to piss off the entire Italian Polizei at the same time, lol. Game AI was doing pretty well, considering.
My issues is the gameplay I will wait until it comes to ps
Watching to see if there are pronouns in this game.
No,but there's lesbians in Egypt... powerful strong womans..
It's a solid 8. I'd best describe it as a game out of it's time that makes use of modern tech. I'm not sure it's tbe big win MS and Xbox were hoping for and i don't see it appealing to a ton of tbe younger folks, but for those old enough to grow up appreciating the first three Indy movies, this game is right up the alley.
That's extremely generous but hey, glad you enjoy.
@Entreped Perhaps a bit. It's definitely not for everyone.
@@Entreped I mean, it is pretty much universally appraised, so an 8 sounds about right.
It looks like the most basic melee combat I've ever seen...
@@rafterman5072yeah but most people are prizing the story and not really the gameplay was is not that great
Can't wait till they get to the half blood prince or they call him a mudblood😅😅😅
1:34:10 no preist dude I don't remember Indy meeting you in 1927. You weren't in The Genesis Deluge, nor was he in Italy during that adventure.
REPLAY GANG
I tried this game, it just felt off. How indie's suit looked in the museum, how he moves when you look down, like a ragdoll. It's just off.
Um, what happened to 5 Heartbeats Under One Roof????
That was the most unsatisfying head shot ever. 1:10:25 enemies in video games need to be fun to dispatch. other wise what is the point.
Were you booing the Pope or Mussolini?
Does anybody else see the small white dot in the middle of the screen....
There are takedowns but you have to be holding weapons wrench,hammer etc it doesnt work with bottles .
But so far in my playthrough ive been enjoying it there isn't any dei so far so I dont know what people are complaining about. My main issues are not being able to turn off hints and i don't like the blue vignetting when crouching
One of the most tedious games Ive ever played.
It looks fairly dull. Where's all the action?
All the action ?? Have you watched any of the movies ?
@jonmartin9732 yes, yes I have. And the movies have various different action set pieces. Indy going through traps, brawls like the ones with Pat Roach, shoot outs, chase scenes and there's so far been no break in the gameplay to have anything except sneaking around and some Fist fights. Have you seen the movies? Indy was never the most stealthy character.
@@jonmartin9732it doesn’t matter this a video game not a movie buddy. The gameplay is lacking form the few reviews I have watched
@martymcnasty6306 the overwhelming majority of players disagree
1 hr in and I got bored.
I don't get bored of anything. I got addicted till, like many, progress was ended by a bug/s - there's several points where people are stuck. That said, the game is below average and feels ancient. I was stuck on 55h close to getting all achievements, apart from getting the 1000 notes, or whatever it is.
I workin me around the Vat/// It aint so shabby I reck///Played worse games I is enjoyed
This is a good game lol
Very dated (not open world, mostly a barrier maze) - the FPS is much worse than Wolfenstein. They probably added it last minute because 3rd person was too technical. Half-Life 2 from 20 years ago is levels above IJatGC. Puzzles are simple unless just confusing for non-puzzle reasons. No OST music is a disgrace and corporate greed (3:34:38 doesn't count, it's all you get, and rare). Bug-ridden - I couldn't progress right near the end, again corporate greed using you as free testers (do not report bugs or you're part of the problem!). A true "10! Masterpiece" needs to be far more ambitious - nowhere near as much variety (or slickness) as GTAV (360, 2013), MG's obviously leagues beneath Rockstar's level. And some claim AC Odyssey wasn't great, yet this is?
3rd person, open world, with online modes, the John Williams OST music, a motorbike and sidecar, trucks, camels, a fast/nimble boat, and a biplane, and it could be the claimed 9 or 10/10 masterpiece. But IJatGC is a 6/10, 7 at most.
“You are without doubt the worst adventurer I’ve ever heard of”
In all seriousness though, games great if you actually take the time to read, listen, and play it. It’s a miracle you’ve stumbled through it as successfully as you have m8! Albeit great fun to watch🤣 The chick is pointless and annoying but I’d gamble they’ve toned it down. She’s not gotten in the way so far. (I’m in Egypt) you’re absolutely right that if this was not Indiana jones then no one would care but I’m shocked and impressed that a modern game is this good. The mild clunkyness almost feels like an intentional throwback to emperor’s tomb or something. Maybe I’m being too generous. Anyhow, hoping to see more on it and hail the fellowship. Oh and FNT ain’t the same without ya. Cheers!
Great? It'd be good 20 years ago, but the gameplay would still be poor. Siam is the best area, but still an old-school barrier maze, fake open world, which just makes you realise how poor the game is. No OST music is disgusting. The woman isn't even as "annoying" as the ones from the films - it always had the strong women. The puzzles are either simple or confusing inadvertently. And some claim AC Odyssey wasn't great. Absolute bug-fest too - many can't even finish it due to corporate greed not paying for testers. Yet people are patting MG/Bethesda on the back with BS reviews.
This game looks like the definition of mid.
Gameplay definitely seems wonky so even if the story is okay you would be correct about it being mid at best
Enjoy being joyless
It looks boring. Where's all the action? Why would you make an Indiana Jones game a stealth game? He never really sneaks around that much during the movies.
@@matane2465
He sneaks around all the time in the trilogy
@ManHamOrigins not really and when he does, it's to lead into an action set piece because he accidentally set off a trap or alerted his enemies to his presence.
The textures on the items look terrible. not even close to 4k maybe 1k. skyrim modded looks 2x times better.
This looks like it should have been released 20 years ago.
Isn't that what the anti woke crowd wants?
20 years ago it would have been more action packed.
Well, considering how old the movies it's based on, that makes sense. You are playing classic Indy.
One of the best surprises of the year. Very enjoyable game. Zero wokeness and absolutely incredible graphics on the Series X.
It looks like a 360 game
You haven't got to Egypt yet,,with the lesbian stronk powerful woman...🎉
The gameplay looks bad so I will pass
@@lorddiethornecho chamber?
@@SuperLaney81 what the gameplay doesn’t look great and I almost never buy a new game full price on pc I just wait for summer sale and the gameplay doesn’t look great and seen large amounts of footage.
1:55:08 this fascist looks like John Oliver lol.
Hot garbage. The fps melee combat looks like that Mike Tyson game on the PS1 with a graphics upgrade. The enemy AI is seriously legitimately WORSE than Star Wars Outlaws. Nice PS3 quality graphics too.
Your predictions were wrong
Just from a visual point of view, why does the game look so... brown?
If you look at any of the three movies I don't remember them looking washed out. Even in the deserts there was still a degree of colour in them. Seems an odd design decision with the colour pallet.
No character creator, 0/10
when I saw rtx required I expected stalker 2 performance but also it's amazing graphics...what I see here is worse than tomb raider reboots
modern tomb raiders on an oled LG in 4k 120hz with true motion activated (black frame insertion) is the most beautiful thing I've seen, true motion oled make even older games incredible it's so smooth it looks real, it's better than VR for sure
Looks boring and lame :/
graphics look terrible
Oh, come on AZ, when is Part 2 comimg out? Don't make me pay for it, because I wont 😇 You did solded me Silent Hill 2 Remake, tho 😊 keep wotking that weight, you are incredible, don't give up ❤
Where part 2 Az ya xmas baby!
I'd go with the general consensus on this.... loved by critics and fans alike.... yeah its safe!
nan dayo
I just find first person a lazy mechanic they all look the same, game just looks like far cry with indy skin
And third person games look the same, so what of it ???
I’d rather play The Emperor’s Tomb over this one. That game is janky af but it isn’t modern day slop.
I watched mauler play it earlier it looked shit and I’ll pass even though it’s on game pass I still won’t waste my time
Mauler can make any game look bad since he plays every game as autistically as possible
Guys it got a 9/10. Stop complaining because it’s actually good
From front loaded known positive reviews like xbox have done with recent other releases, the score will drop like the others. Play games not corrupt review site scores.
So did veilguard.
@@compostsmurf5519er.... no it's been praised by fans and critics. Open your mind a bit
Uncharted rip off??!!
Tuned in to see some gameplay, instead had to listen to a lot of racism about Harry Potter. I miss the days when people just played games.
Is this the same guy who raged over a clone in Star-field?
Yes, but also no. It wasn't the clone he raged over exactly, it was politics/"modern day" being inserted into everything throughout. That was just the final straw that made him rage.
Way to miss the point, you disingenuous hack.
@@scottphillips8607 dude I have hours in starfield and there ain't any modern day ish inserted .. it's just a fun game and people.are just offended by everything
@@TruthHurts1519 You are eithher blind or a liar.

I was preparing myself to watch, until I heard a disgusting belch at 0:32 so I have to take off... 'tis just another DarkSydePhil I guess...
This game has Very Positive reviews on steam so far. Is there anyone here who has played it and can tell us if it's woke?
I'm not watching the stream to avoid spoilers.
its not woke, ive been on it for the past 7 hours , I havent seen ONE woke thing yet, not one... stop panicking ... just get the damn game
@@adamblackedition5529 cool, good to know. No panic, would just be annoyed. We haven't seen a good Indy thing in a while. Thanks for the reply!
tldr Az gave it a 6 so far. Mauler is probably giving it a worse rating, since he scrutinizes it a lot more closely.
It definitely does not deserve a high score. I just think that people are just so used to getting hot garbage games, that a somewhat competently made game looked better in comparison.
So far it keeps with its setting, lets Indy do Indy stuff and does not have any egregious dialogue that reeks of pushing an agenda.
@@eirei0789 thanks!
@@adamblackedition5529 So, everybody should just believe you and play the game?
Because everybody on the net tells the truth. Got it.
How is this boring? Im white knuckling it half the time. The more slow and dramatic parts are fantastic, and it seems the gaming community agrees. Both critics and gamers are raving about this game. It has surprised everyone and is being rewarded with high review scores. There is even a mention of goty year here and there.
You have poor taste in terms of video games play a game like alien isolation which has great ai comapred to this
This game looks fake AF...
Good lord AZ is annoying
