Wow, I haven't played the older version of this. I started playing this around the end of 2018 and wow, a LOT has changed. This really needs a revisit.
The fucking Crocodile cracked me up so hard. Freaks out because you are inevitably going to die by the hyena kills both hyenas with 1 hp left. Croc comes from the bush and finishes the job.
The worst part is, I swear that damned croc is out to get you upon respawn. Played Conan Exiles for 5 hours today, and after the 8th time that croc came jaunting after me, I started to get a Captain Hook complex.
Honestly friend, it seems like this was one of your best First Impressions videos, in regards to your approach to the game and your commentary. Thanks for the vid!
Croy Boudreau He's absolutely right though. Peon played around 5% of the game before telling his large and varied viewer base that 'casual' survival game players should save their money. That seems a bit unfair to me (a casual player who is loving conan so far)
@Steven Woods A fair point. I'd argue that due to the nature of the content and the fact that he can't spend several days "testing" the game, he has the unenviable task of making an honest suggestion to his fanbase which is indeed "large and varied" as you described--based on a limited amount of playing time. In an ideal world, he'd be able to fully play through the game, but "First Impressions" are just that, and personally I thought his approach to Conan was calm, methodical, and well thought out. It's completely reasonable to disagree with him and enjoy the game, but as far as his approach to the content? I approve.
Kroniant hey dude so I just started playing mmorpgs and though I know you did a blade and soul video. Would you consider making a BnS playthrough video? I subed to your channel a few weeks ago and watched all your videos. I started playing BnS and think it would be awesome to watch you with a playthrough. Maybe give it a thought.
There isn't really any point in ARK's character creation being anything more than it is.. the game has extremely limited potential for RP ect and that's where real character customization shines. Conan on the other hand has an established lore and a storyline that will be integral to the game in time.
The game is amazing for early access, and is in no way "shitty". Also the fact that they update so often, and by often I mean 9 days in a row just for starters, shows that they want to make it better. Survival games may not be for you, and they weren't for me either, but this does capture the Conan universe and will only give more down the road.
Funcom like to recycle stuff. Pretty much all the art assets and music is copy/pasted from Age of Conan. A 9 year old game. Bit of a cheek calling it early access ;)
Playing this in 2022 and not only is it ridiculously different, but it's also the only game I've been interest in for quite a few days now. The lore is intriguing and several journals left around by NPCs make me want to find the next page. My only complaint is that as a solo player right now, I'm grinding a lot of stone and plant fiber and it seems to be the only thing I do sometimes. Hopefully that will change as I start getting better armour and tools. Game is definitely worth a revisit.
This is my very first survival game and I’m enjoying the hell out of it. I love exploring and learning about the lore. It makes it feel more like a Survial/Immersive RPG than strictly a Survival game which in my book is a good thing. One thing that I do wish is for more of a level cap. On PC it’s been modded to fix that but for PS4 I’m hardly out of the first bit of the game haven’t found any big cities and I’m already like level 33/60. But all and all a really fun game. I’m enjoying the hell out of it and I definitely don’t regret buying it.
I have to say I disagree with you on your point of it not being worth the price at its current state. As someone who's put about 90 hours into the game so far, and hasn't even yet experienced all the content it already offers, including many caves to explore and boss monsters to fight, I'd say it's definitely worth the price. I'm happy with the game even in its current state, and the devs have a lot of exciting plans for future updates including siege weapons and a sorcery system. Also interesting to note is the current thrall system, where you can capture NPCs and enslave them to inhabit your base, including fighters and archers to help guard it, blacksmiths, cooks, and carpenters, to man their respective crafting stations, priests to man the shrines of whichever god you chose at character creation, and dancers that area-effectively increase health regeneration and cure corruption.
That game is pretty crap tho. The only fun i found in that game was messing around with the custom battle thing, sieges are pretty fun, but aside from that the game is pretty crap.
First rule of this game : Keep Calm and pray to Crom! Thank you for the video Peon! Btw, I like this game so much, if you are a Conan fan, the price will be worth it for you. Every day or every second day Funcom fixing bugs and problems with the game. Last patch fixed the 5 miniutes loading time (now is nearly 2) and some little bugs. Sorry for bad english.
Loving Conan Exiles so far ... It's fun, and I've been doing a whole series of video's on the game by now. I quite like the building. Oh ... and you joined a Belgian server ... welcome to our country :-)
gw1 would be badass tho he would probly need a veterans help with it since it is now very single player. Id help him with it tho i doubt he will play it
Really nice to watch your videos. If you got a few small games and like such things I recommend "bit dungeon II". I think this game could be fun for you.
Just wanted to mention that the female on your Thumbnail was promotion material for Age of Conan, not Conan Exiles :). I like the review, might just check it out. Always liked the Conan universe! I am one those people that actually played Age of Conan for a fair period. I remember being pretty much the only Lotus/Gen assassin on the entire server and my fellow assassins listed me as one of the top5 assassins. All other were cookiecutter Lotus/Corr or Corr/Gen. Good times indeed.
Excellent review. You hit the pros and cons perfectly. Doubt the review would have as positive if you had done it 2 weeks ago where you got desynced from your server every 20 min and items were lost after every server patch. But funcom has been incredible quick in finding and fixing bugs.
It's set in the world of Hyboria. Which is where the film Conan the Barbarian is set. The setting is based on ancient myth of our world, with some alterations. I see you met everybody's good friend the crocodiles. :D I got wrecked by them early in the game as well.
I have over 1,000 hrs in Conan Exiles. Try the roleplay servers/community, it's a lot of fun. There's servers where you can do pretty much more or less what you want no matter how dark, kinky or twisted it is. Also they just added new systems and updates and improved existing ones.
Always enjoy your vids and use them to see what game i might like before buying/downloading it. Keep up the good job Peon! have a fantastic day yourself :p
HAHA! loved this one peon, emo barbarian, canons misunderstood brother! .. hehe , looking forwards to playing with you in BDO man! we won the first node war i did, was awesome !
Thank you for making this content craig :). Because of you i found Black desert online and i love the game. Your videos really give a very in depth and good overview even though you just play the games for like 10 hours. I just wanted to say thank you for doing so.
This game just looks AMAZING. The originality and the quality animations and there superb combat system and Zero bugs. I hope it is in early access that would be even more awesome. And i hope it has a cash shop plz plz plz.
man 5 minutes in and you already made literally burst in laughter 4 times. The crouching is swift and unrelenting. fuck man i love you. Favorite youruber keep going
I've had so much fun playing this game (for free). Made my own server cranked up the gathering etc and just enjoyed being creative with building and decorating. Also fun going out trying to find Thralls you think will look nice in chains at your gaff XD. I did kind of ruin it for myself when I discovered as server admin you can go god mode and spawn any object or npc at will. I am going to revist it in a year or so and maybe it will be worth my money to play it properly. I thought it was shit to start with then I got the graphics settings correct so it looked good and had reasonable FPS. Certainly optimisation is required.
Would love to see you do a new review of the game @TheLazyPeon ! a lot has happend in 6 years! I played this like u, tried 6 years ago, came back now... and im currently addicted.
Hey peon, there's a really old game named "Celtic Heroes" which is an app that is an mmorpg, can you try it out? I wanna see your take on it, I don't play it very often but it's pretty decent imo
nice video dude, just wanted to say , when you talk about the fact that you didn't need to go look up a tutorial to start the game, you have to admit that all preious survival games like ARK and others have formated our brains to certain behaviors like running and pressing E or punching stuff, or running away from critters and that this game comes after that whole survival games explosion that came with ARK and RUST etc... so in a way ARK and co. where your tutorials for this game ( sorry if I made mistakes in grammar, english isn't my main language)
Wow, I haven't played the older version of this. I started playing this around the end of 2018 and wow, a LOT has changed. This really needs a revisit.
yup even now
The fucking Crocodile cracked me up so hard.
Freaks out because you are inevitably going to die by the hyena
kills both hyenas with 1 hp left.
Croc comes from the bush and finishes the job.
What a croc
Joshua Sweat sad part his he would have died by food poisining anyeays 2 sec later:(
William Dagenais And he was overweight so running wasnt an option.
damn it david!
The worst part is, I swear that damned croc is out to get you upon respawn. Played Conan Exiles for 5 hours today, and after the 8th time that croc came jaunting after me, I started to get a Captain Hook complex.
Any game that lets you look down and see you're own body deserves gamer respect :D
your*
Honestly friend, it seems like this was one of your best First Impressions videos, in regards to your approach to the game and your commentary. Thanks for the vid!
Glad you enjoyed it :D
I'm honest and on my opinion I found this review a bit lame
@Pl4sm0 The nice thing about opinions is that everyone is allowed to have them, and they don't always have to be the same ;)
Croy Boudreau He's absolutely right though. Peon played around 5% of the game before telling his large and varied viewer base that 'casual' survival game players should save their money. That seems a bit unfair to me (a casual player who is loving conan so far)

LazyPeon agrees with cannibalism
dinoguy900 He said the rest were too morbid??? XD
"if you go in for a punch, you're going to get a punch back" - words to live by
The gods have graced us with another peon video
Kroniant or punished us
Kroniant hey dude so I just started playing mmorpgs and though I know you did a blade and soul video. Would you consider making a BnS playthrough video? I subed to your channel a few weeks ago and watched all your videos. I started playing BnS and think it would be awesome to watch you with a playthrough. Maybe give it a thought.
Just saying Conan's Character Creation is way better then ARK. ARK looks derpy as all hell.
Shoibyrd This game allows MODS... if this game gets popular... omw...
you still cant make teen character.,,
the character creation isn't even finished yet too, they have yet to add in more faces, hairs, religions, physique, and facial hairs too. :o
Cant wait till they add nameless spider-god of Yezud.
There isn't really any point in ARK's character creation being anything more than it is.. the game has extremely limited potential for RP ect and that's where real character customization shines. Conan on the other hand has an established lore and a storyline that will be integral to the game in time.
Plz never stop UA-cam! Only reviewer I enjoy these days... and I often watch your vids despite having any interest in the game you're looking over.
Hi peon, just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work. Love your content
Has Peon never heard about Conan before? Since he wasn't expecting monsters?
PhantomGardener I loved the old Conan games and was really disappointed that they turned it into a shitty early access survival game
The game is amazing for early access, and is in no way "shitty". Also the fact that they update so often, and by often I mean 9 days in a row just for starters, shows that they want to make it better. Survival games may not be for you, and they weren't for me either, but this does capture the Conan universe and will only give more down the road.
He probs just cant afford it
yeah..and its hardware demanding..i bought ARK once ago and its dissapointed in terms of optimization.
Funcom like to recycle stuff. Pretty much all the art assets and music is copy/pasted from Age of Conan. A 9 year old game. Bit of a cheek calling it early access ;)
omg ur commentary and accent are priceless and im not even that high yet
Alot has changed my friend, a revisit might be an idea 🤔
"Swift and unrelenting crouching" - you sir just earned a sub, lol
Playing this in 2022 and not only is it ridiculously different, but it's also the only game I've been interest in for quite a few days now. The lore is intriguing and several journals left around by NPCs make me want to find the next page.

"piss off George"💀 I swear that had me dying
"piss off George" killed me

This is the first survival game I've enjoyed playing in a very long time.
I know its an old game but would you like to play Mount & Blade : Warband?
i know you will play bannerlord but its not released yet
I know thats why i said that its an old game
No, you're fucking stupid. Get outta here with your dumb ass requests you fucking pleb.
Its was a good game for its time but to start playing at this time..its shit
I can still play it for days, don't know what's shit in it, yeah the graphics are outdated, but the game mechanics are still really good
That game is pretty crap tho. The only fun i found in that game was messing around with the custom battle thing, sieges are pretty fun, but aside from that the game is pretty crap.

I really did enjoy it and I really hoped you enjoyed making it
Another really good first impressions. thanks for reviewing this .
Just wanted to mention that the female on your Thumbnail was promotion material for Age of Conan, not Conan Exiles :). I like the review, might just check it out. Always liked the Conan universe!

I got wrecked by them early in the game as well.
Lord IMissed these videos! Keep up the good work! :)
Just wanted to say i love your videos!
Always liked your videos as you keep it real. Great job as always and now that I have a channel I can comment on your vids!

Peon being able to get himself some Peons? Wow. That's deep.
Kaldros Astelan WoW?
Hey Peon love all your videos keep up the great work just wanted to know if you will continue to do Gaming Sessions?
Great video Peon! You should try Astroneer, that game looks so promising.
I have over 1,000 hrs in Conan Exiles. Try the roleplay servers/community, it's a lot of fun. There's servers where you can do pretty much more or less what you want no matter how dark, kinky or twisted it is. Also they just added new systems and updates and improved existing ones.
hows the player base?
love your channel
please do a first impression on phantasy star online 2
Always enjoy your vids and use them to see what game i might like before buying/downloading it. Keep up the good job Peon! have a fantastic day yourself :p
Peon, what the fuck happend to your Dark Souls 3 series? Are you gonna finish it anytime soon?
UA-camHeroLv5 he's said at the end of the last episode that he just wants to play it casually and off stream/camera.
Well he also said that after the DS1 series / before playing DS3. Maybe there's hope?
srsly?!!!??
Love your videos Peon!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay new upload!
lol that was funny, great video
I've been having a blast with this game in short bursts. It's definitely got rough edges, but potential as well.
This was great, LOVE Peon's commentary...
Love your Is it Worth Playing series keep up the good work ;)
Nice vid been waiting for another review,can you review champions online pls ???
"Since this is a survival game, my first instinct would be to run around and punch trees" Fucking gold.
Revisit this game is awesome
even it's released not so good, game progressed greatly. they deserve a thumbs up. its been my favourite survival game in market for years.
HAHA! loved this one peon, emo barbarian, canons misunderstood brother! .. hehe , looking forwards to playing with you in BDO man! we won the first node war i did, was awesome !
I was just wondering if Conan Exiles was any good. But this guy is funny AF
Subscribed.
You can have a child with purple eyes it's called Alexandria's Genesis
Missed ur first impressions for a Looong time.
And boy,I just started and this seems really funny xD
The snake turtle and fat imp comments had me rolling! lol
Yass..ive been waiting for u to play this game
They have done a decent amount recently to reduce load times. It usually takes me between 15 and 30 seconds to load in now.
"Emo barbarian, nobody f understands me." hahaha sounds about right.
Funcom is really good with voice and sound engineering.
Thanks for this video. :-)
Thank you for making this content craig :). Because of you i found Black desert online and i love the game. Your videos really give a very in depth and good overview even though you just play the games for like 10 hours. I just wanted to say thank you for doing so.
Do you live under a rock?
This game just looks AMAZING. The originality and the quality animations and there superb combat system and Zero bugs. I hope it is in early access that would be even more awesome. And i hope it has a cash shop plz plz plz.

god peon I though you had left us for good. Gave me a good scare. Keep up the first impressions coming.
why does this guy not have more subs
Good to have you back, peon.
Would love to see you do a new review of the game @TheLazyPeon ! a lot has happend in 6 years! I played this like u, tried 6 years ago, came back now... and im currently addicted.
Great video Peon!
Theres also a Unreal Editor toolkit for this game that lets you create.
this looks amazing!
i think i'd enjoy this game more by just watching you play it, hilarious xD.
TheLazyPeon i'm just a diehard conan fan, this video had my side splitting. too funny. i wonder if you do updates to things like these?
Can you take a mount...and what's with the cross at the beginning?
Hey peon, there's a really old game named "Celtic Heroes" which is an app that is an mmorpg, can you try it out? I wanna see your take on it, I don't play it very often but it's pretty decent imo
this game actually looks quite good, i might check it out later myself
maaan i miss your videos Q.Q so funny so good
nice video dude, just wanted to say , when you talk about the fact that you didn't need to go look up a tutorial to start the game, you have to admit that all preious survival games like ARK and others have formated our brains to certain behaviors like running and pressing E or punching stuff, or running away from critters and that this game comes after that whole survival games explosion that came with ARK and RUST etc... so in a way ARK and co. where your tutorials for this game ( sorry if I made mistakes in grammar, english isn't my main language)
btw ancient egyptiant used makeup and specifically eye shades as a sun protection.
LP, what is your Twitch schedule? I would really like to watch your stream.
Haha that was great.. alot of laughs man! Cheers!
Can u make a first impression of Destiny? Keep up the good videos😁
The Crocodile came in for the sneaky kill-steal LOL
glad to see you again peon :)
Omg. I had to pause the video twice because my insides hurt too much from laughter. You named the imp George! Lmao.
After my 12 hour nap I wake up to a new video. :)
I won't be picking this up. Survival games get boring real fast for my tastes.
Thanks for the video!
