Just finished editing Detroit become human, will upload it tomorrow.
Darksouls Remastered rant?
Worth a bite. Lmao you're a beauty.
Why did i read that as, "Just finished eating Detroit"
Worth A Buy whoa! what's an old fashioned joke like this 5:00 doing in a UA-cam video in 2018! you just begin for dislikes? XD......... nah I'm sure at this point it get you more likes than dislikes.
I wonder how many times Mack played it.
You ahould make a new rating, the middle finger
"You Should"^
The devs gave the customers the middle finger by deliberately & greatly misrepresenting how it's graphics look in every preview video they released to hype the game.
"Fuck it, its all right"
It's a console release, what'd you expect?
Almost every game is a console release. Sorry, the 90's are gone. Now excuse me, i need to listen to Spice Girls.
Summary:
It's a fun game that gives the player a lot of responsibility for their actions and that has got to be a good thing. As I said in the review you have to be careful who you kill, once they die that is that, no more quests from them and also the area they lived will suffer a drop in morale. Also if you don't heal people the morale drops which causes people to flee, monsters to lurk and if you are the one killing then the vampire hunters will increase. It's like a player controlled difficulty level which adds a lot of fun to the game.
Sadly the biggest problem aside from visuals is the combat, it's gets very repetitive due to the lack of powers at your disposal, two weapon attacks and 5 vampire attacks, you can swap them out for other weapons and attacks but you can only have 5 active at a time.
The bosses do get a little challenging late game, i died a few times but overall if you keep your powers well upgraded you should not have any huge trouble and as simple as it is I still enjoy most of the combat, especially the dodging.
So if you don't mind outdated graphics, bad lip sync, simple combat then have at it because the rest of the game is a blast to play, just a shame the publisher got the price wrong, thank goodness for Greenman Gaming.
Always thought they tried to replicate Vampire Masquerade. Pity.
IKR, I really liked that game. We'll except for the conversation choices where all the good choices are in pink, I HATE THAT!! Its better those choices are available but not highlighted and you have to actually think about what you should say cause it ain't an RPG experience when the answers are given to you!
having fun playing a game should always a criteria, it might be flawed but if you are having fun who cares :)
Maybe one day a developer will pick up the original Kain series, and give us the 1st person vampire game I've always wanted. Chained women in your luxuriously decorated castle, there to feed on at your leisure. Bathing in blood to level up your skills. Blimey 😁
Does it feel good to play with your perk tree in bed?
12:39 There is only 4 types of damage in this game:
There is ranged
There is melee
There is blood
And there is strechustuhmhmmhmm
Real men don't use controllers or the keyboard/mouse for their games, they play all their games with a Guitar hero guitar.
lol
I'll wait for the sequel : WEREWYLF
loool
Nah it would be WEREWVLF
3rd game - FRANKYNSTYN
Fucking died at this comment
How bout ZUMBUR?
lmao "women are gonna love this game. the amount of talking!"
peymantp1989 was just gonna comment on that too. Pmsl
And they like vampires
Says a dude who makes his living talking.
@@funkrobot9762oh, the people who don't have a sense of humor have arrived
I don't know why everyone is saying the graphics of this game are bad, I've certainly seen much worse. Andromeda comes to mind and that was a AAA game.
I have the game on Pro. The game's graphics are PS3 level at best.
Totally playable, but extremely dated (which describes the gameplay, as well). Poor textures, stiff animations, small levels, etc.
Not a great game. More of a budget game you pick up for 15 or 20 bucks and play if you're between big releases. Not an essencial experience whatsoever. I was disappointed, as I really liked Remember Me and expected better from Don't Nod.
Walt Morgan I played it on PC and the graphics didn't bother me at all, I thought they were pretty good tbh. In the gameplay department I do agree, it was ok, not good not bad just ok. The story was interesting but a bit underdeveloped, the climax was abrupt although it did give the game closure. I think it should have had at least one more act but that's just me.
@@mike3894 It's a AA game, there is literally nothing more to say dude. The game is great for what it offers, literally what people mean, when they say that the graphics are bad, is that the faces look bad. Yeah , pretty much every face except the protagonists looks bad, it's a AA, non full price game. Otherwise the graphics look fine. Anyway if you buy the game for the graphics, you shouldn't. It's clearly has an emphasis on story and atmosphere, which it manages to emphesise very well due to the good writing, main story and superb music. So no 😅 it's not a bad game in an objective way. You can say you don't like it, but it's not bad, sorry dude
Amen! ... I am still havin nightmares about them facial expressions from that shit game..
Saying that there are games with much worse graphics doesn't make any sense. As if other games having worse graphics makes this game's graphics better somehow. But I agree with you. There is nothing wrong with this game's graphics. It looks good. Nothing wrong with them at all. He says they are crap for a 40 dollar game. As if 40 dollars is a ton of money. This game is a great buy for 40 dollars.
I actually love the idea of xp gained from conversations and feeding on pray rather than combat. It makes sense in a way that you learn new stuff from conversations in Real life too (even if that is a price reduction in tkmax). I have only bought this game yesterday and by far I like it a lot. Atmosphere is thick, feel of dread and hopelesness among common folk is great, small beacons of hope like a good doctor are rare and really resonate with you. Feeding on someone who you have spent some time getting to know actually stays with you for a while (you know their backstory, some of their hopes and fears) and you get to hear their last thoughts as you proceed with drinking their blood. It is a AA game and I can tel a lot of love went into this project.
8:47 Behold the menacingly sliding t-pose monster!
lol, I was actually lolling when I saw that in game
I’ve been more hyped for the WAB than the actual game
Lol! Me too mate
Same here.
You forgot an important detail. You can reset your whole XP skill tree for no cost at any bed and use all the XP again, that really changes the game.
We need more vampire games. Bloodlines changed my life.
One of the greatest games of all time.
Won’t happen. It won’t make money. Look at at the people saying they will wait for a sale because it’s not cod or Witcher 3.
Holy shit! That Ocean House Hotel quest is better than most horror games I've played. Bloodlines is awesome.
Bloodlines is my favourite game of all time.
MakoRuu Bloodrayne was a fairly good vampire game but sadly it has been forgotten for the most part.
I like how you started with the Options, i'd love to see more of this. I'm sure you know TB (Rest in Peace) did a similar thing and since his illness started to effect his work there has been a void as no-one else did this. I'm not suggesting you should emulate him or try to fill his shoes, you've got your own very unique style, but Options analysis is a really useful service. So thanks for doing this and thanks for your usual honesty.
I was just thinking: "I need a Vampyr WAB." Thanks, Mac!
Man. What I wouldn't give for another Legacy of Kain tier vampire game.
I love legacy of kain and I'm waiting as well but don't miss out on this hidden gem
Holy cow, you are getting faster and faster in posting these. Excellent review as always.
Well I played my ass off to get to end game so i could do the review.
"Is it worth a bite?" Lol Mack you caught me off guard with that silly detail. 10/10.
The lock on mechanic was expertly implemented in soul reaver legacy of kain, developers should go and play that old PS1 game to see how it should be done.
Second best vampire game. A distance second behind Masquerade Bloodlines. But still a great title!
Kain: Most ironic of all, was the last gift that Raziel had given me. More powerful than the sword that now held his soul, more acute even than the vision that his sacrifice had accorded me. The first, bitter taste of that terrible illusion: hope.
Quick question, are there any time limits? As in, can you roam around and explore at your own pace or is there like a timer for each day so there's a constant pressure to get shit done and go to bed? How you said people can catch this disease... Does that happen in real time or just as a consequence of you not seeing to them?
This game is incredible ....good graphics combat takes a little getting used to but man once you do the story and replayability makes it well worth the time money and effort
I agree. I couldn't believe how he was saying the game has crap graphics for a 40 dollar game. This guy is mental sometimes. He really is.
Discovered this through playstation plus and what a gem. Really enjoying it. Such a change of pace and being a "nice" vampire healing the populus and chattin away is very good. Only on chapter 3 but find myself itching to get back to it
Makes sense that you get more exp from non combat things as getting into combat and killing may expose you to the people that you are a vampire. You need to blend in and feed in secret, though its too bad it isn't as good vampire: The masquerade bloodlines interms of gameplay and a few other things.
I think the devs of this game have taken a lot of inspiration from the manga/comic/anime Hellsing
Looking forward to watching this in my lunch break tomorrow
Was checking your channel regularly for the last couple of hours waiting for this!
Yeah well we all got our keys at the same time, not really early press keys but as I am in the UK I had less time to get my review out compared to USA :) I think mine was the first youtube only review out that made it to the end game so I am pleased about that :) I can't really compete with IGN and co for speed as I am a one man show.
I've been checking your activity regularly for the last couple of hours as well waiting for your comment on Mac's Vampry review!
As a Romanian from Transylvania, I love me a good vampire game
Hooked up your coffin with wifi, eh? Good call.
They normally give little xp for combat to discourage grinding
"is it worth a bite" I saw what you did there Mack lol.
12:45 "... there is blood and there is strwfstrshyrne which is another vampyr power."
8:47 Nobody notice the enemy just T-poses towards him?
Well ... this is a NICE review. Finally more poised, and really Rare to find this good review out there, you have a good "suggestion" coming to my mind when you say 13:20 that the 3rd person in combat is cluncky... Well.. Since I know what you like, I agree that it could be made going to First person (choice of FPP, just like in Mad Max people can choose in car between TPP and FPP).
Maybe the game would have been much better like that.
I guess they can't add a FPP now.
Maybe a locking either.
But maybe it's like this to make it more difficult and make fights SKILL based less Grinding based (Most games nowadays).
"Women would love the game" :)) 10/10 Mack, Good one, you made my day :))
8:46 that T-pose though, such technique
Ay mack, cant wait to finish this vid, been looking forward to this one.
I don't know why you think it's necessary for games to have good graphics. That's one of the reasons games are dumbed down nowadays. They can just wow everyone with amazing graphics and then not have to worry about the gameplay because casuals are just going to see the game on a tv ad and think "wow that game look incredible I have to buy it!".
Se he does think that good graphics are necessary when games are a certain price then. Why should they be better? Why does it even matter?
Steve gee answered for me
Steve Gee But what if that fiesta was quicker, had way more features and mechanics and in general a lot more fun to drive?
Subi_fan I agree. There are plenty of AAA games with good graphics that arent worth their price tag.
Graphical presentation is important, but not close to as important as gameplay of course. The graphics in this are a mixed bag but I don't think they are half bad. Maybe 5 year old graphics, but not 10.
8:46 The feared T-Pose attack technique!
45lbs.? Sounds like a pretty heavy game
Hahahah🤣🤣
“Women are gonna love this game, the amount of talking...” DEAD 😂
That T-posing enemy model at 8:48 was horrifying
Thanks for the review Mack, will probably pick this one up through the week
8:47 is definitely the spookiest part of the video. lol
And Vampire the masquerade - Bloodlines. Still sits as the best Vampire game. Is it really that hard to make a good vampire game,can no one make another world of darkness theemed game or bring it as close as posible to that setting .Damn just thinking of bloodlines on a bigger better engine with a bigger open world more stuff to do more clans, disciplines ect(and without a boatload of bugs most importantly). Makes me kind of sad knowing it will most likely never happen.
There's a new VtM getting made, but it looks like it might be an SJW game.
@jigga jaw Not really had to be there. I barely played VTM Bloodlines this year and I LOVED it despite it's blatant flaws and being outdated. The game came out in '04 and was released unfinished because publisher deadlines, and it's obviously not like the devs were a big AAA team. My huge disagreement with you is that the voice acting in the game is excellent and one of the best things about the game, especially for 2004. It was the first thing that impressed me about the game because of how old it is.
Goes to show, to each their own.
well not having a dead lock on itself is a kind of FUN and SKILL. Think Armored Core, Nier Automata. But they got an option to allow you get a lock up by customization which makes them even greater.
I used to listed to this "podcast gameshow" that had a supernatural tone if i remember right but it was funny and that guy who hosted it sounds just like you and does the bell thing. I would bet real cash you were the same guy.
Have we given up on Mackscorner videos coming back?
This just came to Game Pass looking forward to playing it
@Worth A Buy, Mack are you gonna make a WAB for WH inquisitor Martyr? I read some mixed opinion and i hope to hear your :)
According to linguistic scientists, the word derives from ancient Greek because its using the Greek verb -πι (pi), Vam-pi-re. Pi means drink in Greek language.
In the book of Katharina Wilson, The Vampire: Casebook, University of Wisconsin, it explains that the Word is a Combination of Greek, Slavic and Turkish word nowdays.
The word has its root to Anc. Greeks but evolved in Balkans. Like many other words...
Its a great game,played it few years ago,combat is so much fun and great atmosphere,very recommended
I really can't wait for the WAB review of Post Scriptum!
But this WAB is great as always.
Firstly my personal theory about the game’s title is that it’s a reference to the 1819 book called “The Vampyre,” by Dr John Polidori. There’s too many coincidences, main character is a doctor called John, 1918-1819 and the spelling is almost identical, just dropped the “e”.
I can report lock on with a controller is fine, seems based on distance from character, switching is as easy as could be, just a flick of the right stick. Also, Mack did you see the ghostbusters Easter egg in the hospital?
Whats the background music you use here ?
1:08 I don't know that game looks pretty fucking blurry to me.
It was £20 odd on CDKeys the other day, seems like that's what it's really worth.
_..."You literally can eat the face of anybody in this game and you will take them out. And they're dead. Once they're dead, they're dead. I know they shouldn't...they should come back to life as well..."_
Many vampire stories are set so that victims die from attacks, and only gain vampirism from drinking the blood of a vampire (i.e. it being offered, like in *_Dracula Untold_* most recently). Great review though Mack, you've saved me money yet again.
Good review as always! only gripe, and I know your affiliated to GMG, is the price you had a grievance with however this was £22 on another store and PC gamers are quite savey/clever and will shop around for a better deal. ding !
Yes but I was offered a better affiliate deal with that other site and I refused as I will not condone sites that sell keys bought with stolen credit cards, i only deal with legit companies.
Totally agree with your sentiment Mac and I guess you mean G2(1st letter of alphabet) and yes are dodgy as fk, however places like CDk**s are a legit retailer also Inst**t Gaming .... (I gather you wouldn't want their names advertised)
Don't use 2 handers.. You lose access to the stake or firearms.. Which both lead to instant stun
"Is it worth a bite?"
*ends video*
this reminds me of vampire the masquerade (blood lines), but it had a LOT of combat options/magic..
Waiting on that Detroit become human wab, you'll either love it or hate it and rant for 10 minutes lol
surprised you want lock on combat, lock on targeting is what makes rabbit the death machine he has been shown to be in games
I don't, I want first person freedom but if I have to have third person lock on then the WOW version is the best
sounds like a spin-off of that medic side-mission in STALKER CoP.
interesting, but i don't play 3rd person games. great review.
How's the craic mack?
We need more vampire games, V rising was fun, played vampire bloodlines multiple times on every single vampire type, played Skyrim Dawn guard, played sims 4 vampires, played vampyr; just need more.
How long is an average style play through?
Mack just want to thank u because I bought prey because of u and I loved the game keep up the good work
Great game
By the end of the game I killed everyone I was allowed to. But then it was a very lonely, empty game, haha.
No one to blame but myself! Damn my bloodlust.
I always wondered if a game or movie is about vampires if most reviews say they totally suck is that good or bad?
Mack are you going to do a review on the Far Cry 5 dlc? I’m really intrigued to hear your opinion on it
Turning someone into a vamp(y)r requires a blood transfusion. I thought it was just the bite alone for a long time myself.
Depends on the source. In World of Darkness (and a lot of others) you have to take out all the human blood and add vampire blood. In a few sources it's caused by something else completely, like a deal with the devil.
This makes me want a game based on Blade movies
I find your reviews to be the most honest.
This is one of my favorite games ever, the voice of Anthony Howell takes it to another level
Having fun with the game as well. Nice review, Mack.
Thanks Mack, been waiting for this. Will pick up Friday.
They also missed the opportunity to make bad ass looking finishing moves / executions, both with weapons and the vampiric powers.
leveling up a perk tree in bed.... hmmmm
What is the last best game you played?
The way you said 'vampyr' sounder just like in dutch, not french. Although we write 'vampier'.
mack i have played the game and an advice don,t use lock-on and in reality is more difficult to don,t kill anyone as the game advances at the end i had lvl 25 and enemies where 40
Worth a bite!
My only complaint is that consequences aren't as apparent as I feel they should be. I know killing someone will reduce the overall community, but some deaths pretty much cause outright chaos.
1st playthrough problems though.
Worth A Buy Well thanks Mack, I wasn't sure rather to refund the game or not after buying it 1 day before release. I bought it and looked back at the trailers which showed mostly combat, making me think I was buying a darksouly combat game, just the combat game. But now I know it has more to it, good to see that people come up with this stuff on the world
Can you re-review No mans sky Mack? I want to know if it’s worth getting yet.
You can get this for £30 on instant gaming, they usually have the best deals.
hi mack are you going to review the new warhammer inquisitor game?
8:47 T-pose Tuesday
what fps counter software do you use?
This game SHOULD be called GossYp cause that's what you do for 75% of the game, chatting with folks about their favorite subject THEM. Then they'll get all catty and talk about other people.
Another 20% of the game is wondering around looking for the person you just got done gossiping about so they will tell you about someone else while rummaging through garbage cans for supplies and enjoying the occasional rat like some undead homeless person.
The last 5% is the clunky fighting system which everyone hates.
Your voice at the beginning reminds me of the guy who did voice overs for American action movies of the late 90's. Except he was _American_ and your not. But other than that. Its spot on.
So, you liked things in this game, that you hated in Witcher 3, even though they were done better there... interesting.
yeah he doesnt get witcher, I got over it in time
I just got this from the Epic Store for $7 US, and can now take a bite out of it! I'm confident I'll get my money's worth. Note, you need to add the free $10 coupon in the store, which will then knock it down from $17 to $7. I think the sale goes to January 1st. Happy drinking!
Blizzard screwed up tab targetting in cata. It's all messed up now, you will hit tab and it will target people to the side, people behind you, it's a mess. I agree with you it used to be awesome.
My PC can't run this I'm certain. Why is there a damn $10 price difference between the PS4 and PC versions??
Pretty sure the devs said it was pronounced vampire even though it's spelled like it should be vampeer
You mean it is like Witcher 3 Ciri’s dash, right?
I think it's worth a bite on sale. Not entirely sure it's worth the full suggested retail price. The game is somewhat short, and if you compare it to AAA titles, it's just hard to justify. It is a really fun game though, and it's fairly well made considering it's a small dev team. Even 25% off would be good I think.
I regret playing Prey 2017, because that game set the bar so high for a triple A title. Many of games i come across today simply can't match it. Sad.
the gameplay looks so dumbed to ui very directed towards consoleros is there a option to make it feel more free like without all the markers?
Please review Hours of Darkness.
