    I love the mentality of judging the game for what it is, not what it's heritage might imply.

      +John Shearer Thanks John. I know for some its not going to make sense but if I held on to every real and percevied slight in any industry I would be living in the woods Sh*itting into a stone pot.

      +ACG I spent a few years in game QA (see State of Decay) and I gotta say, it's refreshing to hear that. So many times I've seen people complain when a dev tries something new, even with a new IP, and then people complain that it wasn't what they expected. Like the recent complaints I've read that the Division doesn't look as good as the E3 videos or whatever. So what?

    • @ACGreviews
      @ACGreviews  8 років тому +9

      +John Shearer Hold the phones brother. State of Decay is #3 in my favorite games of all time. So I got to say thanks so much for whatever you did on those titles and versions man. and ya agreed.

    • @johnshearer8800
      @johnshearer8800 8 років тому +1

      Oh yeah, worked QA on that for over a year, back to it's Alpha when it was still called Class 3 and co-op was a "maybe." But then people complained when it removed and I just rolled my eyes at the complaints. Kinda wish they would take your stance and just wait for the release and "review" it then, regardless if co-op was ever promised or not.

    The most underrated game of 2016, can't believe it didn't get more love. Survival mode is truly an experience. I had to check a few times to make sure it was a Ubisoft game seeming there was no season pass, DLC or micro transactions.

    Talented, highly-skilled people busted their asses to make this game what it is, and yet some gamers completely dismiss it immediately and bitch. There's an attitude of entitlement on the part of many gamers that's selfish, unrealistic, childish, and ignorant. Do you know why many companies sell DLC? It's because it keeps the doors open and artists employed. It's a tough industry, expectations are sky high, and devs can't reinvent the wheel with every single game. Cut them slack.

    • @dudemayne8820
      @dudemayne8820 8 років тому +3

      +bizmonkey007 You mix consumer and business or developer mentalities as if they're one and the same. Consumers have the entitlement and all the right in the world to share their opinion about a product they don't like or were disappointed by. It's not their job to feel bad or support a company just because people worked hard on a product. That is absolutely RIDICULOUS.
      Do you actually want to know why companies sell DLC? Because of inflation and mainly because people actually support it. Like you know, it's a business and if they need to exploit or take advantage of people to make money they will.

      When a reviewer they like gives a game a positive score..people are quick to kiss Ubisoft's ass. When they give it a lukewarm review (Watch Doga 2) then you see comments bashing the game and company. There is no shortage of hypocrites.

  • @jonasking9587
    @jonasking9587 8 років тому +68

    I am absolutely floored at the negativity in the comments. "Its just FC 3 with cavemen and rideable sabre tooth tigers." So, that sounds like the best thing ever!

      +Nathan Martin Don't get me wrong, I pretty much only play indie PC stuff. Every now and then, a guy wants a steak though. Even a Walmart filet will do. And I totally understand the Ubisoft hate, and the Uplay, and Denuvo trust issues, particularly. But this looks rad. ACG and Jim Fucking Sterling, Son enjoyed it, so I am down.

      +Jonas King Oh definitely, I mean I got AC Unity (my first proper delve into AC) And, as is universally known) it was a bag of shit. And how they had the audacity to announced AC Syndicate when AC Unity was so lackluster and broken is completely beyond me. I just feel people moan and moan for something then when they get it say "This is just Far Cry with cavemen" Well yeah...it's a Far Cry game, with Cavemen. I've gotta say though, kudos for Ubisoft for having the balls to go for something new. I personally enjoy the Far Cry series and whilst they have all been pretty similar - I feel this opens up new doors. And kudos to you for playing indie PC games - bravo!

      Jack Bateman for sure. i think if you have an interest in this time period it looks like they did a good job being authentic to the plants and animals and like this reviewer said they thought the world was well designed and great to explore. i think exploring on the back of a tiger sounds awesome ha

    Picked this up after a long break from the series and I have to say, I'm impressed! When adult life demands your attention I found Primal to be a nice reminder of why games are so enjoyable - growing your inventory, skills, that initial nervousness at a whole new world that you gradually learn and become familiar with. Good fun!

    I can’t think of anyone doing a better job at reviewing game titles than Karak (and that includes the corporate reviewers, IGN, gamespot, etc). Always my first “go to” reviewer for any title. Also fun to go back and look at past titles as well, especially those in depth feature looks at the art and technical aspects. Uncanny how much your voice and style reminds me of Ted Forbes with his The Art of Photography channel, another channel which has such great writing and observation so far above their peers. Thanks again Karak for such great content.

  • @Saitekman
    @Saitekman 8 років тому +31

    Hey ACG, To be honest with you and I am really going to be honest here. I was thinking about Pirating this game next week when it came out on PC. However, your review was probably one of the best reviews I have seen in a long time. You don't say Ummm, you add humor in the right spots and you do the review in a great breakdown. I am an older gamer and I like the games that consume you to the point where you don't feel rushed. I am 100% glad I did not pirate this game as Ubisoft did a wonderful job. For those that are thinking this is a copy and paste job of FC4, you are extremely far off here. This is now in my top 10 games of all times. I have put in 20 hours in 2 days and I am not even half way through the game.
    If your looking for a game with True immersion and gives you the chills at night time and also a survival type game and the sense of accomplishment then this game is for you. I really am enjoying this game. It really makes you feel like your part of the tribe and you want to help it grow, it doesn't feel tedious when gathering or anything. Once you finally tame that Sabertooth or Cave Bear, you are a complete bad ass and you do not feel helpless during the night. To me I am going to go as far as to say this is the best FC I have played. I know most of you are going to say FC3 was better and thats cool as it is definately a runner up. Its just so unique to me. The only complaint thus far is my Carpal Tunnel is acting up on me.

    The collectibles in this game are actually insanely hard to find. You can easily spend an hour searching an area for that little mask or ring or whatever, climbing up here and there, marking it on your map, searching for it with your special sense, only to end up falling off a cliff and dying.

    I always thought Far cry 3 and 4 seemed super cool because of the world, the hunting etc, but the actual story and setting and weapons and things like that didn't interest me. So this seems like a much better option for me. Here the hunting and exploration fits in a lot better I think, and as I haven't played the earlier far cry games I won't be tired of the concept either. So I'm buying this!

    I bought this game on discount from the store. Got the all singing, all dancing, super deluxe everything included package and what a fun game it is. I had a blast. It does get a bit repetitive but its still a lot of fun. Only main gripe is Its easy to get a bit lost in some of the caves in the later stages of the game. The bosses are a bit challenging but not impossible. A good entertaining game.

    @eiadtarabulsi 8 років тому +3

    When Far Cry Primal came out earlier in the year it didn't appeal to me too much. However, I just recently picked it up. I have to admit that its a lot of fun to play. Initially, I thought that replacing guns, rocket launchers and grenades with a club, spear and a bow wouldn't be much fun. That opinion has gone by the wayside because the game has been an absolute blast to play. Combat is up close and personal and more challenging. The sound effect of the bow isn't necessarily great. However, the sound of an arrow making contact with an enemy's skull is very satisfying. There is something brutal, in fact primal (pun intended) when you nail an unsuspecting enemy in the skull with a well placed arrow. The various animal sounds are impressive. Character and animal animations are top notch as well. Taming the various wildlife and having them fight along side you is very fun. I can't count how many times I've seen animals fighting each other or chasing after one another. Animals and enemies would also fight one another. Those types of things happen at random which adds to the realism, especially for the time period. Fire effects are impressive but, that's always been the case for the Far Cry franchise as far fire effects are concerned. The game looks impressive in terms landscape, character and animal models. The language that was used sounds pretty convincing for what could've possibly been used for the time period. I've already spent a decent amount of time playing Far Cry Primal and I look forward to spending even more time playing it moving forward. Ubisoft did use the same map layout that was present in Far Cry 4. However, the game manages to be a lot of fun despite that issue. Thanks for the great review Karak. Keep it up!

      Eiad Tarabulsi I second that. Picked it up preowned from another person a month ago and it sat lying there because eventhough I just paid $20 for it I was still unsure I would enjoy it. Decided to pop it in over this weekend and my god I'm having fun..I just completed a few missions and the atmosphere is spot on, I never did like the gunplay in far cry games and replacing that with the current mechanics just felt right. I think all future farcry games should be guns free and going through different periods. Great review as always btw.

    I dismissed this one right away as it didn't have guns which I love in all the other "Far Cry" games, I loved "FC3 & 4" specifically. Your opinion here carries a lot of weight with me, I can see what you dug in the game & I've radically changed my opinion on this one, adding to list now, thanks brother for the killer profile & detailed deconstruction on it, quite convincing.

    Could you please post time stamps or annotations to the different sections in your review? It would be so much easier to listen to your opinion about a particular category first before watching the rest of the video.

    It's a solid game, but only a select number of people are gonna like it. Something to think about though, it's really good that they changed things up, because if they did a far cry 5, it'd be boring. Because just face it, Far Cry 3 and 4 were practically the same game(don't get me wrong they were both amazing games, but they were extremely identical)

    • @wanghaifeng7998

      +Reticle Quick That is why primal should've been a stand alone expansion with more focused story and gameplay. I thnk people would've warmed up to it more if it is a stand alone expac like blood dragon was cause it reuses a lot of assets.

    • @xyr3s
      @xyr3s 8 років тому

      apparently the enemy leaders aren't the greatest compared to 3 n 4. but the supporting cast is supposed to be pretty good and it seems they compromised on losing some awesome story for better gameplay. this is only based on what I have heard from it so far. havent played it yet

    I think FC4 kind of gave Farcry a bad name. Farcry 3 was FANTASTIC and a breath of fresh air. FC4 really did feel copy pasted. However, that was only one game. I don't understand all the hate FC is getting when it looks like they've made 3 really solid games and one mediocre game

    @TheStephenm1993 8 років тому +5

    For all the people claiming this is nothing but a cash grab, I generally feel that Far Cry 4 appeared to be more fitting of such a claim than this title. It actually seems that they applied a great deal of effort into the making of Far Cry Primal, and actually tackled an era in time that most games haven't even attempted, making it a sort of risk for game companies to try, which is rather commendable. And I'm genuinely looking forward to experiencing it, just as I was for Blood Dragon. Familiar mechanics with a new and interesting twist- and good fun!
    Dying Light type combat would have been a decent fit for this game I think, especially since it's based around clubs and axe type weaponry.

    @MalonzeProductionsGaming 8 років тому +1

    I bought it day one.. 1 of a few things i dont like about the game is that the story is very, very short.. its gotten where im doing side things first before i finish the last quest or i wouldve finished it day 1 (ul is left, since i killed batari already)
    BUT!! I am having fun doing it.. in 3 and 4 i never had a reason to pick leaves. I could play the whole game without using them. but in this game they are necessary, and gathering is rewarding.. i just grab everything i can and now my village is fully upgrades. my items are too. im just working on skills now, but its almost done..
    I wish, however, there were more harder animals to fight like the elder mammoths. I have everything fully upgraded, and when i go in with my great scar bear, some traps, fire, bees and my spears, the mammoth can still kill me easily if i am not careful. and i like that. It feel great when i finally take the beast down. once you have the high lv spear everything else dies easy, even cave bears. kinda sad.
    I also wish enemy tribes could have more war horns out in the wild.. in farcry 3 and 4, if i attacked a random group, they had the chance to call in support, which made it fun, i would play a game of "king of the bridge" and hold them off from the bridge as they kept coming. but here, im lucky if i get another group.
