I played the open beta a little while back and loved how they did sheilds. You felt like you were actually shoveling hordes of dinosaurs which is something ive never seen in any game ever
@big.gib.4L From his original comment saying, "You felt like you were actually shoveling hordes of dinosaurs.." I was thinking, "What is your point of reference? 🤔" To which I then sarcastically responded..
Man, Lost Planet 2 was incredible If they continued to put budget into those games the way they built up MH and DMC, it would make for some of the best action games today
That’s exactly it, it’s fun, nothing crazy good or bad. I do enjoy the concept of it. And I think as time goes on it will be much more worth it. But right now 60$ is kind of a big asking price
This game actually has a ton of different maps, objective types, and dinosaur varieties. But the problem is how walled off they all are by progression. You have to progress in the story / ranking so make sure you’re going through the database archive stuff.
The vast majority of the players are from Game Pass and even then; I see little to no viewers for tuts and other forms of content online, Microsoft using half truths to bolster the player numbers for this.
_I think you skipped the big bit about the 10 man raids. You'll be playing one of the matches, and the AI suddenly decides to throw one of these challenges at you. Those are honestly some of the best missions, and I had a great time with it. Those usually have your massive set pieces, that far outshine the normal matches. I'd actually say it's plays it best when it's co-op like this._
From the last official showcase, it seems like they are going to add more 10 players base battle modes after 1 month of release and they tell players to "level up the suits to prepare for it". I'm expecting it to be harder/more complex than what we get now.
Should definitely be free to play since it's a live service competitive hero shooter. Not having a price tag helps bring new people in and spread the game around
Currently playing the game. It has more than the 3 starter maps and varieties of them. You start seeing more at roughly the 5/6 hour mark. As well as more dinosaurs. The story presentation is different.
The game will be getting a new mode in a couple weeks. We'll see what comes after. I think it's worth it if you have friends who will play too as well as if you'll play it on and off in the future. I do 2nd the game pass path to see if the core of the gameplay loop is for you.
The more you play and progress the story the more and more gameplay experiences you unlock, there are loooots of different gameplay objectives and enemy types to discover and when it all just starts getting thrown at you randomly it gets pretty exciting
Yea, literally unlocked/got an objective at the end which was pick up more blue "gems" than the enemy team, think it said destroying enemy players gets you more of these blue gems. Almost reminded me of the Headhunter game mode from Halo Reach, not exactly, just made me think of it.
Sounds like it could lead to a very split up playerbase. 6 months down the line when player count has dropped massively, it might be very hard to find a match.
Hey, I just want to say there is a lot more content and objectives that unlock when you progress the game. Its just hidden. I dont want to spoil some of the objectives as they were a treat to experience blind. Make sure you are progressing your story tab to unlock new maps which have said new objectives and more dinos to fight. Objective Spoiler: There are bosses that make the two teams group up to take them down and its so awesome!
@killerasc5877 I guess it's on you to decide. There are 6 or 7 maps in total. 10 suits to fight with. 5 special events. A free, hard survival mode that is coming to the game on the 28th. 5 final phase modes that you unlock. 4 are pvp, so you may not experience them if you are strictly a pve player. A campaign that isn't breaking any records, but I found it to be enjoyable. I have already put a day and 8 hours into the game. For a dollar an hour. That's definitely a good ratio. Edit: There are 5 special events
@ponderingForever There is a road map! It's still not a crazy amount of content. But it shows that they do have plans for this games future! I'm excited about the hard survival mode that you unlock at the end of the story. It's locked currently but opens up on the 28th. It promises new rewards to chase after
Id say it's worth mentioning that once you have done enough missions thereby advanced the story aswell there are more missions for both PVP and PVE new maps and Dinosaurs including Neo-Dinosaurs which are ramped up versions of dinos you've fought(as well as completely new ones) with abilities and completely new looks akin to siva/Taken from destiny (E.G kamikaze dinos with swolen glowing bodies, ranged dinos that snipe with homeing rounds and teleport to vantage points targeting you whilst you deal with other threats or giant flyers that tear open additional portals spawning more and more waves trying to overwhelm the team or tiny dinos that cling all over you like a swarm of bees and more. Plus the fact that allthough it uses the same maps there are multiple routes/areas/Objectives in each so it doesn't feel repetitive you may be in the same city but you may not see the areas you previously did The story is interesting and well thought out and it allows you to take it at your own pace you can go match after match and then go back to look at the story you unlocked along the way it never feels like your lost because although you may have 10 notifications for the storyboard it only shows them in order so you'll only have 1 to look at at a time soon as your done the next file in sequence pops up feels good to have a story for a hero shooter esc game type only story i got from overwatch was a yearly cinematic. Also there are build chips dropped by non basic dinos that allow construction of turrets, energy walls and floating platforms it's random which of these 3 you'll get each game and it'll be the same for every player but it adds another small amout of variaty to the already very variable missions i could sing this games praises all day honestly but most importantly it feels great to play just thought id drop some info i feel was missed maybe they just never played enough to see it all.
@@faithadams2576 nah this game is just designed poorly. Like it's actually a pretty good game, but designed like a Japanese arcade game if you've been to Japan. It doesn't explain things to you up front and hides things behind certain levels. Good game done wrong and it won't last. Most people won't even know the game gets better. And it takes too long to get better.
They just changed the esthetics of the enemies but we can't really say that you're really feeling that you're fighting against dinosaurs with special dynamics except for the skins...
Trust me. After playing for an hr you’ll wish it was zombies. The Dino’s are sooooo fucking corny. They just disintegrate into pixels. Now blood no bodies laying around. It’s just so fucking terrible. This game is an absolute fucking joke. Battle pass in a free to play game. Only one mode for a $60 game. No single player. The PVE isn’t even pve. It’s just a giant steaming pile of shit. Capcom sucks. Resident Evil is the only good thing capcom has ever produced. Dude said the movement and shooting is good. The movement and shooting is one of the worst parts of this shit pile. I’d say it’s worthy to be on Angry Joes worst games of 2023.
I've been having such an absolute blast with this game!! I won't lie I was a little lost in the first 40 minutes or so, but these last 2 days have been well spent!!! I just love the uniqueness of all the different classes and the exosuit variety of each class! I am definitely gonna have a mainstay game!! Edit: Also there is (as far as I've seen) 3 Pvp Final Missions 3 10 v Boss final Missions 4 Pve Final Missions There is more I have not completed the game myself. P.s. Anytime he says "at the moment" he mainly just means at the beginning, you unlock more maps as you progress. (Kind of bad phrasing on that part in the review.) Edit 2: I also enjoyed the Story Element tbh it was a nice addition. (Adding edits as I watch / Final one) FINAL EDIT: The best skins are unlockable ingame, i the store ones are so/so. This review felt kind of mid overall IMO.
@justaguy653 This makes such little sense it hurt my brain bro, sure bro I'm a fucking dev lmfao. (I wish.) I use this phrase so little, but Jesus fucking christ go touch grass bro lmfao
@justaguy653 lol. I dont think its worth 60 but it really is fun and unique. Theres more to the game you jusg have to unlock it by progressing in the story
I think that's why it was day one on gamepass though? lol capcom doesn't put their good games day one on gamepass. So, it's not the flex you think it is, but if this is the kinda game you enjoy good on ya. I'm good though, and yes I have an xbox but not paying for gamepads until star field.
If everyone have enough with this game now, noone will be there in couple of months to actually play new modes. Personally I can't see how people can play the content they have now even for another month. I think there will be huge drop in online players which will increase queue time dramatically.
And then when it eventually leaves Xbox game pass, it'll be dropped in price by then so if you want to keep it you can. Game pass definitely helps saves money in the long run even if it got slightly more expensive
There are way more then a few maps you need to play the game to unlock new maps Dino’s and even 10 player raid encounters where both teams have to team up to take out a crazy boss or hordes upwards of 1k plus at a single time it’s a lot of fun in loving it, other then a few QOL issues and lack of numbers and data when picking modules and abilities damage / health in the tooltip
Solid 7.5/10 imo. Lots of fun, easy to pickup and get lost in. I really enjoyed the story and the way it was deployed, very original. The story ended up being a nice counterpoint and palette cleanser between matches. Really looking forward to more content!
I think it’s a 7.5 brought down to like a 5/10 for me due to the price and monetization model, along with the fact that they chose to hold back content at launch making the game pretty threadbare in terms of things to do. Frustrating to know that if a game like this had released 6-10 years ago, it would have been much better. Loot boxes and battle passes are really taking a toll on game quality at this point.
@@TheHeadincharge I agree that holding back content is a bit shit, but then again, when every other developer is doing it I can't really blame them. I haven't really run afoul of the loot boxes etc, just purely from a gameplay perspective I'm really enjoying it
Totally agree, though I'd give it a 9/10, simply because it's the most consistent pure fun I've had from a game in years. I really loved the creative story implementation, and actually cared about the mystery. It was a great, over the top sci-fi plot. Could have been a season of Stargate. The characters had much more depth and personality and interesting interpersonal interactions compared to the majority of games, which I usually find cliché, boring and uninspired. The 'palette cleanser' description is perfect. I felt like I was going back and forth between playing a super cool game, and watching episodes of a super cool show. I also really enjoyed how they folded the repetitive nature of the matches into the lore itself (and I had zero issues with it being repetitive, since I was repeating something that I found endlessly awesome and satisfying!)
I had zero expectations and was left pleasantly surprised. It does seem like these kinds of games tend to die a year or two after they come out, and they become entirely unplayable and lost to time. I low-key want them to see some success from this game, and then use that engagement to actually put in the funds and work to make a Dino Crisis sequel or reboot. They could totally make a good Dino Crisis game with their track record.
They already made those dinosaurs, They should've just RMK the Dino Crisis sure hope its already on its way of makin. and I expect they will go on Dino Crisis 3
I had some experience with Motion Capture and gotta say they created a seriously stylish fight and fluid movement choreography for this. Considering how important it is for this genre, they really did it justice this time. Kinda reminds me of MGS Rising. PS. You almost saw me as Leon in those new Resident Evil Remakes🙂
@@coreragestudios3430 Hi, no, I didn't. Back in 2015 I was considered for the facial likeness of Leon when RE 2 Remake was in developement. I lost the part.
First one of your videos i have to dislike. You just got this review so wrong. Its like u played one match and stopped. The game has quite a few different games modes not just one, and you unlock more as you progress through the story, including 10 man raids. Also you some how said that loot boxes were microtransactions when you literally cant buy them and get them for free. Hell im not even the only person disagreeing with you. Even on reddit there's tons of people talking about how you got this game so wrong. Makes me worried to watch future videos of yours. You have always been my go to, but now im worried i wont get all the details
I agree.. this is a very bad review. You can easily tell by the way he describes the game and from judging from the gameplay shown that he didn’t play enough to leave an honest review.
Even if a game is phenomenal they aren’t inclined to like it, and can only review it from their personal experiences. You aren’t supposed to allow them (or anyone for that matter) to choose what games you think are good or not. Everyone hated SSKTJL and watching gameplay of it made it seem terrible, but I actually enjoyed its gameplay after buying it on sale. Had I just taken what reviews said about it, I’d have missed out on that experience entirely. They also loved ghost of Tsushima, a game I could hardly get into yet i see get glazed all the time.
The few costumes you can purchase for actual money are only available that way. There is no way to purchase loot boxes or costumes otherwise. Loot boxes are only earned through playing the game as well as in game currency which is used to purchase outfits and upgrades. Personally, none of the purchasable costumes are nearly as good looking as those you can earn, there are also quite a few secret ones that can only be gotten through loot boxes, which again, can’t be purchased.
Just a heads up there's a lot more things that pop up in the matches (hard point/domination style game mode, a resource collection mode, etc) but you can't encounter them until you reach a certain level
Yeah there's a LOT of content you only see if you play a while, then the game goes up a notch and gets insane 😂😂 I think there's another level to it also because I still haven't seen two of the Endgame Dinos yet but I'm sure they're in-game already
I love Dino crisis and even I think the fan base is being embarrassing. The only similarity is that they have dinosaurs in it. This looks more in line with a lost planet style game.
Gotta say, the Boss battles and story do pick up once you gather more intel, there is massive battles against huge dinos, exosuits, new maps, where you get both teams trying to survive. Lvl 50+ you recieve crates and money to get skins easily.
At just lvl 50+? Dude, they drown you in so much in game currency that I've never had a problem with it. Also, with the crates they give out regularly, I've already gotten multiple yellow drops from them. I feel they reward you way before lvl 50.
@@fungalsnoot1655 yeah man, me too, but idk the luck of the other players, even if they didnt got any epic and legendaries on the early crates, post lvl 50 they sure have a good chance to get it
to be honest the microtransactions in the game arent that bad. I played probably 30 hours and ive gotten a bunch of the legendary skins and stuff for free from the loot boxes which you also get pretty regularly. Honestly the game has been super super fun especially as i get close to finishing the story
I had an absolute blast of a time on this last night, a 16 minute game where at the end when both teams can engage to impede one another's progress in the final round, just ended up in a really crazy scrap between the two teams, in the middle of which I figured out how cool and useful Roadblock is with his giant Reinhardt sort of shield
One major positive that wasn't mentioned that should be applauded is it's not a glitchy mess! It has potential, it's something new and they have a roadmap so I'll at least keep an eye on it.
Compared to what? Can't remember a single recent game which was a glitchy mess. Even Redfall was flawless for me on PC. So you're saying it should be applauded for being normal?
@@cenciende9401 Your experiences mixed with your expectation and definition of normal is personal based. The idea is to review the game and not bash it which is why Before You Buy videos are so popular while giving suggestions for improvement. Even Diablo 4 is having community problems with balancing issues and always having to be online. Overwatch 2 is another example where if you dig a little deeper you can find game breaking mechanics.
It's Nice to see what the actual game is, from trailers I always got the feeling it was something more on the Earth Defense Force but with Dinosaurs with actual Single Player element
In the world of gaming, a new contender had entered the arena. Exoprimal, a bizarre five-player PvPvE third-person shooter from Capcom, was the latest challenge to be tackled. This was no ordinary game, it was a mashup of various multiplayer games, with a sprinkle of Overwatch, a dash of Team Fortress, a hint of Left 4 Dead, and a touch of Anthem. But the real twist? Dinosaurs. Lots of them. The game was a race against time and against the enemy team. Two teams of five would run through levels, battling dinosaurs and completing objectives. The first team to reach the final mission would get a head start, adding an extra layer of competition to the mix. But the real battle began when both teams were on the same map, fighting not just against the dinosaurs, but against each other. The game offered a choice of three roles: assault, tank, and support. Each role came with its own Exo Suit, each with its own unique mechanics and playstyle. The assault suits were the damage dealers, specializing in either long-range or short-range combat. The tanks were the defenders, with high health and the ability to draw enemy attention and generate shields. The support suits were the healers and debuffers, providing crucial backup to their teammates. But the game was not without its challenges. The $60 price tag was a point of contention, and the limited collection of objectives left something to be desired. Yet, despite these hurdles, the game was a fast-paced, action-packed adventure that kept players on their toes. As the dust settled, it was clear that Exoprimal was a unique addition to the gaming landscape. It was a testament to the creativity and innovation of Capcom, a game that dared to combine elements from various genres and throw in a bunch of dinosaurs for good measure. It was a wild ride, a thrilling adventure, and a reminder of the endless possibilities of gaming. Here's to Exoprimal, and to the many exciting battles that lie ahead!
Im gonna debunk a few things here, the loot boxes are free and are earned as you level up as rewards, the battlepass is only cosmetic, the game is free on gamepass and is only $20 CAD on xbox if you wanna buy it to get three mechs early, and the couple buy only skins arent as good as earn in game for free skins. So its not as heavily monetized as it appears at first. Also I don’t know how long falcon played but you fight raid bosses and open up a TON of new game modes as you play and level up, which i believe is the games way of upping the difficulty as you become acclimated to the playstyles and level up your mechs to accomodate to the new challenges being thrown at you. Im rank 40 of 50 and im having a blast with friends.
Thats because the game is half baked and un finished. Loot boxes will be buyable soon. As well as a premium gold monthly battlepass ect ect.. all that moble game model bullshit. Coming soon to a mediocre 🦕 game near you.
@@HereToWatchNotRead cope harder they arent lootboxes theyre literally random chests you get at levels for calling cards and free in game skins lmao. Some of yall wack, its capcom not activision
This game is incredible. I think the PVPVE is what sells it. There’s a sense of Competition in it, but not toxic like Overwatch or Other games on the market rn. The progression is pretty easy and not P2W at all. Yeah you can purchase the new Exosuits, but you still need to level them up. Although it may be confusing at first, it’s really fun not know what gamemode you are gonna get, each mode is also very fun and makes you play differently in each. The story is pretty good, just wish there was a better way to understand it. 10/10 game honestly, if they are able to keep it going!
This game bombed hard. All Capcom had to do was make a single player game but they got greedy and wanted a live service game. Well, like Square Enix they will learn the hard way. Square Enix had multiple failed game and lost more than 100 million from their live service games and even had to sell all their western studios snd IPs
So I watched this video and played the game for myself and with all due respect this review doesn’t do the game justice. While I understand the key points of a lack of content or repetitive gameplay there is more content unlocked as you play the game. New enemies and maps are given to you as well as end game content. If you just review the story section of the game you get missions INCORPORATED into multiplayer matches!!! It’s completely unique from other games I’ve played and I think it’s definitely worth everyone’s time. Please go try the game for yourself and just reach level 10 before you drop the game. Around that level is when you start to see new maps and enemy’s and the missions incorporated into the multiplayer matches that you que for
I'm having a blast. Definitely worth trying if you have Game Pass. I love playing Support and getting MVP every round because the points you get for healing are so OP. In terms of the story/cutscenes, my PC takes off into hyperdrive whenever a cutscene happens so I skip it to make it stop xD
The gane is fun. I have about 10ish hours so far in the game. Havent noticed a significant balance issue in terms of exosuits, but like mentioned Comp is King. Certain Exos are definitely designed for pvp and some are designed for pve. Deadeye, the tutorial Exo is a jack of all trades. The PVP is fun if a bit too chaotic at times. Ive described it as PvP-casual. The game is most definitelt designed for PvE. My biggest recoomendation to the Devs is they need to focus on dropping content and fast. The groundwork is fun and the game has potential. Def needs content.
This review is incomplete. It does not sound like you have unlocked any of the abyss arenas or finished the campaign. 80% of the content is not mentioned in this review. What about the boss fights? What about the raids?
This game is SOOOOOOOO much more than what they describe, there's 10 man raids bosses, dungeon events with different challenges and mechanics, multiple pvp modes, and my favorite thing super swarms that can spawn upwards to 2000 enemies at once that can randomly show up once u've unlocked them in the story, if ur curious about the game watch someone else for info on it that ACTUALLY finished the game or just take the risk this game is a hidden gem u will love
I hope they add more modes like a big boss mode i think they showed in a past showcase. They already have a season 2 and 3 planned so hopefully they are big updates and not just more cosmetics.
there's like 6 maps, 20 ish dinos, like 10 different random objectives, three 10 player coop bosses, etc thing is most of it is gated behind story progress, which is a huge miss and really misrepresents how much content is actually in the game
I didn’t care much for the story at first but now I’m a little ways in it’s actually really good there’s a lot of twists in it….. also the more you play more missions unlock and some even that both teams work together on to defeat bosses and I know in two weeks time there adding a new mode… so be interesting to see where this game goes especially when they add the other 10 exo suits next season and even a monster hunter collaboration
I find it interesting how much people are actually really supportive of the game in the comments here despite the review itself (though the review itself wasn't overly negative, just pointing out the lack of content to a degree).
You did a good job of explaining the beginning of the game and how it moves up. But theres a lil bit more to it that actually keeps the game fresh The more you play the more objectives you unlock, time to time your team and the enemy team gets to team up and go against super dinos and the modifires can be pretty brutal. Ive beaten the story and put some good hrs after the story ended, and im still seeing new combos of dinos or new map sections.
From comments I've seen from other videos, it seems after like 15-20 matches the game itself opens up to different modes besides dino survival. I haven't played past dino survival because I don't like the 5v5 pvpve enough to grind to get those other modes.
You forgot about the raids. The ones where all 10 players on on a single team. But you have to get to higher levels. Currently sitting at 65 myself. Great game so far ready to see more
3:48 - He says you can't customize their abilities, but you can make alteration's to all of the Exo's abilities, as you level each one up. There are two unique skill alterations in each module, outside of the shared skills
@@SteOharaexcept you do costumize them. Some are buffs some change how they work, some add new stuff. Like Witchdoctor’s heal becomes a damage buff, or Zephyrs kick gains a new attack follow up, etc.
@@SteOhara if you look at the roadmap they are releasing alternate variations of the exo suits that you can switch which change the abilities and or weapons
After playing the Monster Hunter series ive learned that Capcom goes all-out with their updates, usually making the game twice as much fun. If it has an enjoyable core and Capcom is involved then im sold. Ill be buying it this weekend for sure.
@iansmith3016 bought it and was never able to play it. You have to create a Capcom account and link it with your psn account to play but once you link the accounts it is permanent and can't be linked to other accounts. Apparently I've done this before on my psn account and can't remember any of the info so the game is unplayable for me.
From what I can tell, you can’t straight up buy the loot boxes as there is no store or shop menu. It’s just the BP, starter pack, and buying to unlock the 3 locked exosuits
This review is legitimately blatant misinformation about the game and it really saddens me that people will use this to decide if they get it or. There are actually a bunch of different maps and modes in the war game, you just have to actually… play the game and they unlock over time.
got this on the xbox gamepass for pc. i was really surprised. very addictive and an absolute blast to play. only complaint i can think of is more exosuits and more maps and a slight bit of balancing.
After 15-20 matches, you end up in a 10-person boss fight. Considering that the boss fight was not mentioned once means they didn't play that far into the game, which doesn't give me much confidence in this review. This game is more different than you think. Most content is dumped after you play more than 15 games. This game does not suffer from a lack of content but a lack of explanation and clarification. This is evident through the exosuits and the difficulty in figuring out what an ability is called and what it can do.
I'm saddened whenever I see hero shooters like this these days. It's like they have fantastic base combat and movement mechanics wasted into a multiplayer mode that's usually rarely supported properly. A full coop and singleplayer campaign (tailor-made missions and not just shooting random hordes of enemies until the timer runs out or some boring objectives) with these ideas would honestly work so well. Just imagine something like Overwatch actually take on proper singleplayer/coop with a way to customize and upgrade a chosen hero and having the ability to swap between any of 'em.
He didn't mention the carnage modes or the 10 man raids...they're literally the best parts and you always look forward to seeing what you get going into a match because you can never tell what you get until you're in. Sure you can choose whether the final mission is pve or pvp but on random it makes it more interesting
@ethanortiz1625 Exactly!! Both teams can join up and take on either hordes upon hordes of dinos or take on a massive neo t-rex (more in the future) and it has team wipe abilities if people aren't careful. It's insanely fun
On top of being a fully priced game, I just don't get why they do a complete release of the same - not an open beta or anything - with only one mode available... What can it mean, except that the game wasn't ready to be released when they nonetheless released it, no matter what?
Hay man, Gameranx wouldn't be gameranx without you in it buddy. Couldn't help but notice you seemed heckin tired in this video. Don't let em work yuh too hard ok? As for the game itself, I'm hearing its alotta fun. Definitely hope they keep it around and innovate on a single player story.
@nassim1173 I'm level 70 have reached level 20 on about 6 different exo's and still haven't found it repetitive. although I have over 600 hours on monster hunter and know capcoms games are a slow burn and take time to unlock everything
The suits have a pretty nice amount of customization options. You glossed over the modules but they are EXTREMELY important once you level up a suit. 2 main options per slot or you can forgo modifying the suits abilities specifically for more general things. Each suit can have about 3 unique builds like focusing more on damage, movement, or CC.
As a lover of anything to do with dinosaurs I was incredibly excited for this. But I REALLY wish it had a story mode, even a short one like Titanfall 2. I'm not a huge fan of competitive games, but at least a story mode would have made a convoluted story worthwhile and fun for those who enjoy the concept of the game.
Play and watch the data in the analysis after each fight, you get about 2 per fight, which progress the story, characters, and bigger cutscenes. It's awesome.
It has one of the most interesting stories I've seen from a game in a long time. It has a real over-the-top, crazy sci-fi story, like something you'd see in Stargate. Every match you play unlocks more of the story, so while it doesn't have a classic single player campaign, there IS definitely a story worth checking out.
If there is one game that needed a single player story mode, it's this one. I want to know more about this world because it's crazy. The fact that they didn't add any kind of offline mode, even a botmatch, is really a dealbreaker for me. I really wish bots would become a standard feature in MP only games again, because at some point this game will die, and then it's functionally worthless, and I hate that. If it at least had basic bot functionality, it'd still be playable years from now in some form.
they could've skipped the whole time traveling island mess and gone with a more EDF inspired campaign and have the island be simulation matches for R&D purposes. Game is now instantly worth the full price price tag it was given.
Disappointed that this review has missed a lot lf the awesome content that comes as you progress into the game. I'm having a blast with Exoprimal, one of the best online multiplayers I've seen it as long as i can remember!
The lootboxes are free and after lvl 51 you get one for free each lvl after and 1000 gold. There is a lot i love of how they made the story and getting a surprise new final mission is cool and some are really fun
One thing I will say that impressed me the most, everything works on day of release! I can’t remember the last multiplayer game that worked 100% on day one release.
The game is absurdly fun. Since the story is tied in with the multiplayer, variety starts to come out as you play more. More Dinos different objectives and even a couple more maps start to appear. It’s an odd way of doing things but it’s also different from every other game out there. Couple things you got slightly incorrect in the video is the PvP part. There is a PvE selection where you will still race the other team to finish objectives first but won’t come into contact with each other and fight. The other thing is the games monetization. The most important thing to know about the monetization is that the loot boxes are earned for FREE as you level up and can not be purchased or obtained in any other way. Everything that is purchasable is cosmetic only. All in all it’s a very odd game in how it progresses but it is as fun as it looks. Definitely give it a shot.
There’s also the 10 player raid final match and some more stuff. Plus there’s a Monster Hunter collaboration happening at the beginning of next year and a SF one happening pretty soon I believe.
Most of this video was great! The only area of the breakdown that I did not agree with is the fact you say the story is pointless. I feel having a hero shooter that actually explains the world we are in is a plus. Something Overwatch, Paladins and Apex fall short of. Being able to connect with the world we are battling in and understanding why we are doing this is a major plus imo.
I was hoping they'd do it like Left 4 Dead where you could squad up or with friends or play solo and go on cool missions. It'd make sense since they have so much story here
Really disingenuous review, monetization is nowhere near as bad as mentioned (there’s no way to buy most skins because there’s no premium currency and pretty sure lootboxes can’t be bought, only earned) and there’s a LOT more content than mentioned here, just takes a while to open up. Was on the fence about this but have been having a blast since launch, feels like the best case scenario for what Overwatch 2’s PvE could’ve been with a way faster pace and constant chaos. Surprising amount of customization per character too. Support is just as fun to play as DPS here, and that’s really saying something compared to most class based games! Honestly can’t believe how much this review got flat out wrong
Hey! Great video, but I think there’s a large chunk that’s quite inaccurate. In your defense, the game does NOT do a good job explaining progression and how different things are unlocked. There are quite a few maps. I’m level 54, and just saw a new one. There’s probably 6 or so, and the routes change. So they feel kind of different. But same maps can be played back-to-back which feels a little meh. Regarding PvP modes, there’s actually quite a bit: - Push the payload (the first one you’ll see all the time) - Domination (3 capture points) - Energy pickup? (Kind of like TDM, pick up energy, get enemy energy on kills) - Charge the Hammer (PvE for first 2 points, then last is PvP) you charge up a hammer by killing dinos then you whack an objective with it - I swore I saw one more but I’m blanking Basically, you get access to new maps, dinos, and modes the more you play, it takes A WHILE. There’s also apparently an endgame mode too, but haven’t gotten there yet. Suit progression is alright, you get modules (basically runes) to upgrade exosuit abilities or stats. Apparently, they’re releasing Alpha variants of suits with different guns and abilities for each in August. So we will see how that goes! The story is hella goofy, but there’s quite a bit of content there. Anyway, I agree with a lot of your points, but there really is A LOT of modes and maps. You just don’t start really seeing it until about Level 20 unfortunately. And the game doesn’t explain anything in that regard, they just start showing up lol.
Honestly, this looks and sounds a lot like Warframe. Mostly-linear objectives in very well designed but somewhat repetitive maps, and you can give buffs and whatnot to make them stronger without directly changing their abilities. I really wanna see exactly where this ends up, I'm excited!
@@Sakatoyaa simple answer. because its a half baked, repetitive and they dont listen to community feedback even after the playtesting. Its the same game it was duting the the pt. Fun for 15mins. Easy to move on and play something else. The company will move on also.. making a dead game only worthy of memes.
Falcon I'm honestly a fan you. You're one of my most liked at gameranx.. That being said you got the loot boxes wrong. You can get a battle pass yes but you don't pay for loot boxes you get them as rewards. Every mech has it's own up to lvl 20 battle pass thats free then you have the paid battle pass. all the war chest are free
While I like the idea of getting new maps and modes throughout the lifespan of a game. One mode? handful of maps? Sounds like half a game from those aspects. You'd think the higher ups in charge would learn from so many "failures" but I guess I should've learned that full games are a thing of the past.

I played the open beta a little while back and loved how they did sheilds. You felt like you were actually shoveling hordes of dinosaurs which is something ive never seen in any game ever

It actually looks…kind of fun?
They probably should have made this more into a “Lost Planet” campaign deal, with co-op PVE.
Man, Lost Planet 2 was incredible
If they continued to put budget into those games the way they built up MH and DMC, it would make for some of the best action games today
That’s exactly it, it’s fun, nothing crazy good or bad. I do enjoy the concept of it. And I think as time goes on it will be much more worth it. But right now 60$ is kind of a big asking price
I wish it was like that
@@danquaza9275it's on gamepass
It’s fun but honestly gets very repetitive fast especially if you play one of the melee heroes
This game actually has a ton of different maps, objective types, and dinosaur varieties. But the problem is how walled off they all are by progression. You have to progress in the story / ranking so make sure you’re going through the database archive stuff.
Yeah see I forgot until my mate reminded me, went from 10% to 35% on the archive and starting getting trex and neo dinos
~25 Matches is when it really clicked for me. Pretty good fun.
The vast majority of the players are from Game Pass and even then; I see little to no viewers for tuts and other forms of content online, Microsoft using half truths to bolster the player numbers for this.
So, this is a multiplayer story game? You can't play solo? Is there much matchmaking?
@@davidgibson3481 match making in it is trash
_I think you skipped the big bit about the 10 man raids. You'll be playing one of the matches, and the AI suddenly decides to throw one of these challenges at you. Those are honestly some of the best missions, and I had a great time with it. Those usually have your massive set pieces, that far outshine the normal matches. I'd actually say it's plays it best when it's co-op like this._
From the last official showcase, it seems like they are going to add more 10 players base battle modes after 1 month of release and they tell players to "level up the suits to prepare for it". I'm expecting it to be harder/more complex than what we get now.
Also said there was 1 pvp final mission when there are at least 4 mission types that are pvp that I know of

Should definitely be free to play since it's a live service competitive hero shooter. Not having a price tag helps bring new people in and spread the game around
This will probably go free to play in a few months, that or servers will be shut down.
With GamePass on PC it's kinda free

I kind of doubt it, since games like RE Resistence or RE:Verse are still B2P, too.
The price tag also deters cheaters and trolls.

Currently playing the game. It has more than the 3 starter maps and varieties of them. You start seeing more at roughly the 5/6 hour mark. As well as more dinosaurs. The story presentation is different.
Is it worth the buy ? I know as your progress the story you unlock more but just having one game mode and the same end game objective seems tedious
@@adam.p98 deffo wait for a few updates to see if the game has changed.
Right now it's an OK game but would need more content to keep players hooked
The game will be getting a new mode in a couple weeks. We'll see what comes after. I think it's worth it if you have friends who will play too as well as if you'll play it on and off in the future. I do 2nd the game pass path to see if the core of the gameplay loop is for you.
Yeah i love how the game evolves
@@adam.p98 The core gameplay is super fun, but it needs more content!!
The more you play and progress the story the more and more gameplay experiences you unlock, there are loooots of different gameplay objectives and enemy types to discover and when it all just starts getting thrown at you randomly it gets pretty exciting
Yea, literally unlocked/got an objective at the end which was pick up more blue "gems" than the enemy team, think it said destroying enemy players gets you more of these blue gems.
Almost reminded me of the Headhunter game mode from Halo Reach, not exactly, just made me think of it.
Yeah. We had 3 point zone control. Plus the 10 man final events are great
@@shadowofaion7950there are like 6 or 7 different modes
@@gummyboots more than that, even. There are gamemodes you wouldn't even think of from a PvEvP.
Sounds like it could lead to a very split up playerbase. 6 months down the line when player count has dropped massively, it might be very hard to find a match.
Hey, I just want to say there is a lot more content and objectives that unlock when you progress the game. Its just hidden. I dont want to spoil some of the objectives as they were a treat to experience blind. Make sure you are progressing your story tab to unlock new maps which have said new objectives and more dinos to fight.
Objective Spoiler:
There are bosses that make the two teams group up to take them down and its so awesome!
This - and I hope there's more!
That's still not enough for a frickin 60 dollars game
@killerasc5877 I guess it's on you to decide. There are 6 or 7 maps in total. 10 suits to fight with. 5 special events. A free, hard survival mode that is coming to the game on the 28th. 5 final phase modes that you unlock. 4 are pvp, so you may not experience them if you are strictly a pve player. A campaign that isn't breaking any records, but I found it to be enjoyable.
I have already put a day and 8 hours into the game. For a dollar an hour. That's definitely a good ratio.
Edit: There are 5 special events
@ponderingForever There is a road map! It's still not a crazy amount of content. But it shows that they do have plans for this games future! I'm excited about the hard survival mode that you unlock at the end of the story. It's locked currently but opens up on the 28th. It promises new rewards to chase after
@@killerasc5877Aye, grab on Game Pass with mates if you can.
Id say it's worth mentioning that once you have done enough missions thereby advanced the story aswell there are more missions for both PVP and PVE new maps and Dinosaurs including Neo-Dinosaurs which are ramped up versions of dinos you've fought(as well as completely new ones) with abilities and completely new looks akin to siva/Taken from destiny (E.G kamikaze dinos with swolen glowing bodies, ranged dinos that snipe with homeing rounds and teleport to vantage points targeting you whilst you deal with other threats or giant flyers that tear open additional portals spawning more and more waves trying to overwhelm the team or tiny dinos that cling all over you like a swarm of bees and more.
Plus the fact that allthough it uses the same maps there are multiple routes/areas/Objectives in each so it doesn't feel repetitive you may be in the same city but you may not see the areas you previously did
The story is interesting and well thought out and it allows you to take it at your own pace you can go match after match and then go back to look at the story you unlocked along the way it never feels like your lost because although you may have 10 notifications for the storyboard it only shows them in order so you'll only have 1 to look at at a time soon as your done the next file in sequence pops up feels good to have a story for a hero shooter esc game type only story i got from overwatch was a yearly cinematic.
Also there are build chips dropped by non basic dinos that allow construction of turrets, energy walls and floating platforms it's random which of these 3 you'll get each game and it'll be the same for every player but it adds another small amout of variaty to the already very variable missions i could sing this games praises all day honestly but most importantly it feels great to play just thought id drop some info i feel was missed maybe they just never played enough to see it all.
Haven't watched the vid, but there's also a whole new game mode after beating the campaign that will be available on the 28th.
Console players coping in their natural habitat
@@faithadams2576 nah this game is just designed poorly. Like it's actually a pretty good game, but designed like a Japanese arcade game if you've been to Japan. It doesn't explain things to you up front and hides things behind certain levels. Good game done wrong and it won't last. Most people won't even know the game gets better. And it takes too long to get better.
I love when you guys find games you enjoy with flaws because it makes you spruce the byb videos up more
It’s actually refreshing to see a game in this style, with enemies that aren’t zombies or some kind of infected. That alone makes me want to play it
All they did was swap one lame ass generic enemy for a even more generic enemy. It's like a 6 year old came up with this concept in 1 second lol
They just changed the esthetics of the enemies but we can't really say that you're really feeling that you're fighting against dinosaurs with special dynamics except for the skins...
Don't waste your time
@@flawed4345lol. I got through the tutorial and uninstalled.
Trust me. After playing for an hr you’ll wish it was zombies. The Dino’s are sooooo fucking corny. They just disintegrate into pixels. Now blood no bodies laying around. It’s just so fucking terrible. This game is an absolute fucking joke. Battle pass in a free to play game. Only one mode for a $60 game. No single player. The PVE isn’t even pve. It’s just a giant steaming pile of shit. Capcom sucks. Resident Evil is the only good thing capcom has ever produced. Dude said the movement and shooting is good. The movement and shooting is one of the worst parts of this shit pile. I’d say it’s worthy to be on Angry Joes worst games of 2023.
It’s got that weird capcom charm. With it on gamepass. I’m just enjoying the game for what it is.
Wise words
I've been having such an absolute blast with this game!! I won't lie I was a little lost in the first 40 minutes or so, but these last 2 days have been well spent!!!
I just love the uniqueness of all the different classes and the exosuit variety of each class! I am definitely gonna have a mainstay game!!
Edit: Also there is (as far as I've seen)
3 Pvp Final Missions
3 10 v Boss final Missions
4 Pve Final Missions
There is more I have not completed the game myself.
P.s. Anytime he says "at the moment" he mainly just means at the beginning, you unlock more maps as you progress. (Kind of bad phrasing on that part in the review.)
Edit 2: I also enjoyed the Story Element tbh it was a nice addition. (Adding edits as I watch / Final one)
FINAL EDIT: The best skins are unlockable ingame, i the store ones are so/so.

If everyone have enough with this game now, noone will be there in couple of months to actually play new modes. Personally I can't see how people can play the content they have now even for another month. I think there will be huge drop in online players which will increase queue time dramatically.
I think being on gamepass out the gate is a huge plus, making the retail price almost a non-factor. Can't hurt much to give it a whirl. 🦅
And then when it eventually leaves Xbox game pass, it'll be dropped in price by then so if you want to keep it you can. Game pass definitely helps saves money in the long run even if it got slightly more expensive

There are way more then a few maps you need to play the game to unlock new maps Dino’s and even 10 player raid encounters where both teams have to team up to take out a crazy boss or hordes upwards of 1k plus at a single time it’s a lot of fun in loving it, other then a few QOL issues and lack of numbers and data when picking modules and abilities damage / health in the tooltip
Solid 7.5/10 imo. Lots of fun, easy to pickup and get lost in. I really enjoyed the story and the way it was deployed, very original. The story ended up being a nice counterpoint and palette cleanser between matches. Really looking forward to more content!
I think it’s a 7.5 brought down to like a 5/10 for me due to the price and monetization model, along with the fact that they chose to hold back content at launch making the game pretty threadbare in terms of things to do. Frustrating to know that if a game like this had released 6-10 years ago, it would have been much better. Loot boxes and battle passes are really taking a toll on game quality at this point.
@@TheHeadincharge I agree that holding back content is a bit shit, but then again, when every other developer is doing it I can't really blame them. I haven't really run afoul of the loot boxes etc, just purely from a gameplay perspective I'm really enjoying it
3.1
Totally agree, though I'd give it a 9/10, simply because it's the most consistent pure fun I've had from a game in years.
I really loved the creative story implementation, and actually cared about the mystery. It was a great, over the top sci-fi plot. Could have been a season of Stargate.
The characters had much more depth and personality and interesting interpersonal interactions compared to the majority of games, which I usually find cliché, boring and uninspired.
The 'palette cleanser' description is perfect. I felt like I was going back and forth between playing a super cool game, and watching episodes of a super cool show. I also really enjoyed how they folded the repetitive nature of the matches into the lore itself (and I had zero issues with it being repetitive, since I was repeating something that I found endlessly awesome and satisfying!)
@@TheMonkeyShowOnline 100% agreed! That's a really good analogy - going back and forth between a great game and a cool cartoon!
I had zero expectations and was left pleasantly surprised. It does seem like these kinds of games tend to die a year or two after they come out, and they become entirely unplayable and lost to time. I low-key want them to see some success from this game, and then use that engagement to actually put in the funds and work to make a Dino Crisis sequel or reboot. They could totally make a good Dino Crisis game with their track record.
They already made those dinosaurs, They should've just RMK the Dino Crisis sure hope its already on its way of makin. and I expect they will go on Dino Crisis 3

First one of your videos i have to dislike. You just got this review so wrong. Its like u played one match and stopped. The game has quite a few different games modes not just one, and you unlock more as you progress through the story, including 10 man raids. Also you some how said that loot boxes were microtransactions when you literally cant buy them and get them for free. Hell im not even the only person disagreeing with you. Even on reddit there's tons of people talking about how you got this game so wrong. Makes me worried to watch future videos of yours. You have always been my go to, but now im worried i wont get all the details
I agree.. this is a very bad review. You can easily tell by the way he describes the game and from judging from the gameplay shown that he didn’t play enough to leave an honest review.
What a crybaby post. You're worried about future videos hahahahaha and consulting reddit for validation hahahaha get a life buddy
I have to agree this channel isn't what it use to be an unsubscribing it's like they don't play games anymore
Even if a game is phenomenal they aren’t inclined to like it, and can only review it from their personal experiences. You aren’t supposed to allow them (or anyone for that matter) to choose what games you think are good or not. Everyone hated SSKTJL and watching gameplay of it made it seem terrible, but I actually enjoyed its gameplay after buying it on sale. Had I just taken what reviews said about it, I’d have missed out on that experience entirely. They also loved ghost of Tsushima, a game I could hardly get into yet i see get glazed all the time.
@@Kha1r_0 bad take dude...
The few costumes you can purchase for actual money are only available that way. There is no way to purchase loot boxes or costumes otherwise. Loot boxes are only earned through playing the game as well as in game currency which is used to purchase outfits and upgrades. Personally, none of the purchasable costumes are nearly as good looking as those you can earn, there are also quite a few secret ones that can only be gotten through loot boxes, which again, can’t be purchased.
Just a heads up there's a lot more things that pop up in the matches (hard point/domination style game mode, a resource collection mode, etc) but you can't encounter them until you reach a certain level
Right I first saw the rapters fall from the sky today breaking through glass from tall skyscraper was in shock 😮
What level?
Dont forget the 10 player co-op raids
Yeah there's a LOT of content you only see if you play a while, then the game goes up a notch and gets insane 😂😂 I think there's another level to it also because I still haven't seen two of the Endgame Dinos yet but I'm sure they're in-game already
domination is my favorite
Kudos to Falcon for being the first person I've heard talk about this game without using the phrase "Dino Crisis 4".
Well? It's what we all wanted.
I love Dino crisis and even I think the fan base is being embarrassing. The only similarity is that they have dinosaurs in it. This looks more in line with a lost planet style game.
Gotta say, the Boss battles and story do pick up once you gather more intel, there is massive battles against huge dinos, exosuits, new maps, where you get both teams trying to survive. Lvl 50+ you recieve crates and money to get skins easily.
problem is you have to play this dogshit until 50
At just lvl 50+? Dude, they drown you in so much in game currency that I've never had a problem with it. Also, with the crates they give out regularly, I've already gotten multiple yellow drops from them. I feel they reward you way before lvl 50.
crates and skins arent enough to make the game good
@@fungalsnoot1655 yeah man, me too, but idk the luck of the other players, even if they didnt got any epic and legendaries on the early crates, post lvl 50 they sure have a good chance to get it
@@H1990-e2s i agree with you, but i found it fun to play it on game pass, but i dont think the game is worth it its price right now.
The more you play the better it gets, continue the story and you'll eventually face a boss "behemoth" it's literally like a raid boss. So cool.
to be honest the microtransactions in the game arent that bad. I played probably 30 hours and ive gotten a bunch of the legendary skins and stuff for free from the loot boxes which you also get pretty regularly. Honestly the game has been super super fun especially as i get close to finishing the story
I had an absolute blast of a time on this last night, a 16 minute game where at the end when both teams can engage to impede one another's progress in the final round, just ended up in a really crazy scrap between the two teams, in the middle of which I figured out how cool and useful Roadblock is with his giant Reinhardt sort of shield
One major positive that wasn't mentioned that should be applauded is it's not a glitchy mess! It has potential, it's something new and they have a roadmap so I'll at least keep an eye on it.
Compared to what? Can't remember a single recent game which was a glitchy mess. Even Redfall was flawless for me on PC. So you're saying it should be applauded for being normal?
@@cenciende9401 Your experiences mixed with your expectation and definition of normal is personal based. The idea is to review the game and not bash it which is why Before You Buy videos are so popular while giving suggestions for improvement. Even Diablo 4 is having community problems with balancing issues and always having to be online. Overwatch 2 is another example where if you dig a little deeper you can find game breaking mechanics.
😂 roadmap..
It's Nice to see what the actual game is, from trailers I always got the feeling it was something more on the Earth Defense Force but with Dinosaurs with actual Single Player element
In the world of gaming, a new contender had entered the arena. Exoprimal, a bizarre five-player PvPvE third-person shooter from Capcom, was the latest challenge to be tackled. This was no ordinary game, it was a mashup of various multiplayer games, with a sprinkle of Overwatch, a dash of Team Fortress, a hint of Left 4 Dead, and a touch of Anthem. But the real twist? Dinosaurs. Lots of them.
The game was a race against time and against the enemy team. Two teams of five would run through levels, battling dinosaurs and completing objectives. The first team to reach the final mission would get a head start, adding an extra layer of competition to the mix. But the real battle began when both teams were on the same map, fighting not just against the dinosaurs, but against each other.
The game offered a choice of three roles: assault, tank, and support. Each role came with its own Exo Suit, each with its own unique mechanics and playstyle. The assault suits were the damage dealers, specializing in either long-range or short-range combat. The tanks were the defenders, with high health and the ability to draw enemy attention and generate shields. The support suits were the healers and debuffers, providing crucial backup to their teammates.
But the game was not without its challenges. The $60 price tag was a point of contention, and the limited collection of objectives left something to be desired. Yet, despite these hurdles, the game was a fast-paced, action-packed adventure that kept players on their toes.
As the dust settled, it was clear that Exoprimal was a unique addition to the gaming landscape. It was a testament to the creativity and innovation of Capcom, a game that dared to combine elements from various genres and throw in a bunch of dinosaurs for good measure. It was a wild ride, a thrilling adventure, and a reminder of the endless possibilities of gaming. Here's to Exoprimal, and to the many exciting battles that lie ahead!
Im gonna debunk a few things here, the loot boxes are free and are earned as you level up as rewards, the battlepass is only cosmetic, the game is free on gamepass and is only $20 CAD on xbox if you wanna buy it to get three mechs early, and the couple buy only skins arent as good as earn in game for free skins. So its not as heavily monetized as it appears at first.
Also I don’t know how long falcon played but you fight raid bosses and open up a TON of new game modes as you play and level up, which i believe is the games way of upping the difficulty as you become acclimated to the playstyles and level up your mechs to accomodate to the new challenges being thrown at you. Im rank 40 of 50 and im having a blast with friends.
Thats because the game is half baked and un finished. Loot boxes will be buyable soon. As well as a premium gold monthly battlepass ect ect.. all that moble game model bullshit. Coming soon to a mediocre 🦕 game near you.
@@HereToWatchNotRead cope harder they arent lootboxes theyre literally random chests you get at levels for calling cards and free in game skins lmao. Some of yall wack, its capcom not activision
This game is incredible. I think the PVPVE is what sells it. There’s a sense of Competition in it, but not toxic like Overwatch or Other games on the market rn.
The progression is pretty easy and not P2W at all. Yeah you can purchase the new Exosuits, but you still need to level them up.
Although it may be confusing at first, it’s really fun not know what gamemode you are gonna get, each mode is also very fun and makes you play differently in each.
The story is pretty good, just wish there was a better way to understand it.
10/10 game honestly, if they are able to keep it going!
Area defence sucks though 😂😂
@@Salmon_Toastie but that’s the thing, that’s not the only mode, there’s tons of other modes to play!
You definitely didn't play enough. There's a lot of different dinos and modes when you progress the story.
This game bombed hard. All Capcom had to do was make a single player game but they got greedy and wanted a live service game. Well, like Square Enix they will learn the hard way. Square Enix had multiple failed game and lost more than 100 million from their live service games and even had to sell all their western studios snd IPs
The mech suits look so cool it’s kinda making me want to play it. Glad videos like this exist
Sounds like this game has the potential to grow with enough support and good decisions from the game company
So I watched this video and played the game for myself and with all due respect this review doesn’t do the game justice. While I understand the key points of a lack of content or repetitive gameplay there is more content unlocked as you play the game. New enemies and maps are given to you as well as end game content. If you just review the story section of the game you get missions INCORPORATED into multiplayer matches!!! It’s completely unique from other games I’ve played and I think it’s definitely worth everyone’s time. Please go try the game for yourself and just reach level 10 before you drop the game. Around that level is when you start to see new maps and enemy’s and the missions incorporated into the multiplayer matches that you que for
ALSO sometimes the matches with the same maps will change and give you different routes or new enemy’s on those different routes.
I'm having a blast. Definitely worth trying if you have Game Pass.
I love playing Support and getting MVP every round because the points you get for healing are so OP.
In terms of the story/cutscenes, my PC takes off into hyperdrive whenever a cutscene happens so I skip it to make it stop xD
The gane is fun. I have about 10ish hours so far in the game. Havent noticed a significant balance issue in terms of exosuits, but like mentioned Comp is King. Certain Exos are definitely designed for pvp and some are designed for pve. Deadeye, the tutorial Exo is a jack of all trades. The PVP is fun if a bit too chaotic at times. Ive described it as PvP-casual. The game is most definitelt designed for PvE. My biggest recoomendation to the Devs is they need to focus on dropping content and fast. The groundwork is fun and the game has potential. Def needs content.
This review is incomplete. It does not sound like you have unlocked any of the abyss arenas or finished the campaign. 80% of the content is not mentioned in this review.
What about the boss fights? What about the raids?
This game is SOOOOOOOO much more than what they describe, there's 10 man raids bosses, dungeon events with different challenges and mechanics, multiple pvp modes, and my favorite thing super swarms that can spawn upwards to 2000 enemies at once that can randomly show up once u've unlocked them in the story, if ur curious about the game watch someone else for info on it that ACTUALLY finished the game or just take the risk this game is a hidden gem u will love
I'm really enjoying it, you start to get a lot more content the more you play and personally I find the story bits quite interesting.
I hope they add more modes like a big boss mode i think they showed in a past showcase. They already have a season 2 and 3 planned so hopefully they are big updates and not just more cosmetics.
🤞
High tier PVE only, is literally this lol
There are 4 modes at the moment and yes they've confirmed neo dinosaur fights across teams with new events.
there are big boss fights in the game right now, pretty fun actually
there's like 6 maps, 20 ish dinos, like 10 different random objectives, three 10 player coop bosses, etc
thing is most of it is gated behind story progress, which is a huge miss and really misrepresents how much content is actually in the game
It’s a fun game , it opens up the more you play . Thank god I got to play on game pass. The game has a lot of potential just needs more content
This game has the fun arcade feeling to it and it's been a blast to play so far 🤘
Everyone: "We want a Dino Crisis Remake!"
Capcom: "Here, have some Multiplayer-Lootbox-Moneygrab-Bullshit!"
Everything outside of battlepass is unlockable in game
Another UA-camr that didn’t see the whole game , there isn’t just one game mode. The best mode is unlocked later
I didn’t care much for the story at first but now I’m a little ways in it’s actually really good there’s a lot of twists in it….. also the more you play more missions unlock and some even that both teams work together on to defeat bosses and I know in two weeks time there adding a new mode… so be interesting to see where this game goes especially when they add the other 10 exo suits next season and even a monster hunter collaboration
You can definitely tell this review was written in beta or after only 5 hours of play
I find it interesting how much people are actually really supportive of the game in the comments here despite the review itself (though the review itself wasn't overly negative, just pointing out the lack of content to a degree).
You did a good job of explaining the beginning of the game and how it moves up. But theres a lil bit more to it that actually keeps the game fresh
The more you play the more objectives you unlock, time to time your team and the enemy team gets to team up and go against super dinos and the modifires can be pretty brutal.
Ive beaten the story and put some good hrs after the story ended, and im still seeing new combos of dinos or new map sections.
From comments I've seen from other videos, it seems after like 15-20 matches the game itself opens up to different modes besides dino survival. I haven't played past dino survival because I don't like the 5v5 pvpve enough to grind to get those other modes.
@@user-tr5lr7uz3e
But there is still enemy interaction, thus the PvE mode is still PvP.
no it is still just the dino survival mode. you just have a pool of random objectives to pull from instead of just cull the dinos.
@@Lorkanthal that's disappointing
You forgot about the raids. The ones where all 10 players on on a single team. But you have to get to higher levels. Currently sitting at 65 myself. Great game so far ready to see more
That shit was so dope. Having 10 exo suits all together was so cool. Can’t wait for the alpha variants a deadeye with a shotgun is a dream!
I’ll definitely be waiting until this is on sale for 20$ in a month.
gamefly in a month might have it for that 💪
You might as well wait. The game isn't even done. Notice how many times he says they're totally gonna add more content later?
That’s gonna be long wait
By that time the servers will be probably dead
As a Vermintide 2 fan who always liked the wave defense maps of VT1 a lot, and as a scifi fan, this looks pretty interesting!
3:48 - He says you can't customize their abilities, but you can make alteration's to all of the Exo's abilities, as you level each one up. There are two unique skill alterations in each module, outside of the shared skills
He says what you said like 20 seconds later and he's still right your not customising their abilities your just buffing them slightly
@@SteOharaexcept you do costumize them. Some are buffs some change how they work, some add new stuff. Like Witchdoctor’s heal becomes a damage buff, or Zephyrs kick gains a new attack follow up, etc.
@@SteOhara if you look at the roadmap they are releasing alternate variations of the exo suits that you can switch which change the abilities and or weapons
After playing the Monster Hunter series ive learned that Capcom goes all-out with their updates, usually making the game twice as much fun. If it has an enjoyable core and Capcom is involved then im sold. Ill be buying it this weekend for sure.
how is it so far?
@iansmith3016 bought it and was never able to play it. You have to create a Capcom account and link it with your psn account to play but once you link the accounts it is permanent and can't be linked to other accounts. Apparently I've done this before on my psn account and can't remember any of the info so the game is unplayable for me.
From what I can tell, you can’t straight up buy the loot boxes as there is no store or shop menu. It’s just the BP, starter pack, and buying to unlock the 3 locked exosuits
For now. The store is coming
The starter pack is buying the three EXO's early.
This review is legitimately blatant misinformation about the game and it really saddens me that people will use this to decide if they get it or. There are actually a bunch of different maps and modes in the war game, you just have to actually… play the game and they unlock over time.
got this on the xbox gamepass for pc. i was really surprised. very addictive and an absolute blast to play. only complaint i can think of is more exosuits and more maps and a slight bit of balancing.
After 15-20 matches, you end up in a 10-person boss fight. Considering that the boss fight was not mentioned once means they didn't play that far into the game, which doesn't give me much confidence in this review. This game is more different than you think. Most content is dumped after you play more than 15 games. This game does not suffer from a lack of content but a lack of explanation and clarification. This is evident through the exosuits and the difficulty in figuring out what an ability is called and what it can do.
I'm saddened whenever I see hero shooters like this these days. It's like they have fantastic base combat and movement mechanics wasted into a multiplayer mode that's usually rarely supported properly. A full coop and singleplayer campaign (tailor-made missions and not just shooting random hordes of enemies until the timer runs out or some boring objectives) with these ideas would honestly work so well. Just imagine something like Overwatch actually take on proper singleplayer/coop with a way to customize and upgrade a chosen hero and having the ability to swap between any of 'em.
He didn't mention the carnage modes or the 10 man raids...they're literally the best parts and you always look forward to seeing what you get going into a match because you can never tell what you get until you're in. Sure you can choose whether the final mission is pve or pvp but on random it makes it more interesting
There are 10 man raids??
@ethanortiz1625 Exactly!! Both teams can join up and take on either hordes upon hordes of dinos or take on a massive neo t-rex (more in the future) and it has team wipe abilities if people aren't careful. It's insanely fun
Hoping it’s good it’s on game pass so I’ll check it out later on today. Was hoping for an EDF game with Dino’s but regardless looks fun
👍🏼
On top of being a fully priced game, I just don't get why they do a complete release of the same - not an open beta or anything - with only one mode available... What can it mean, except that the game wasn't ready to be released when they nonetheless released it, no matter what?
Hay man, Gameranx wouldn't be gameranx without you in it buddy. Couldn't help but notice you seemed heckin tired in this video. Don't let em work yuh too hard ok?
As for the game itself, I'm hearing its alotta fun. Definitely hope they keep it around and innovate on a single player story.
I LOVE this game. I just wish there was a mode where you only fight the enemy team.
30 hours in and I'm loving it. intensity is still increasing and even new objectives that I've haven't played yet. another hit by capcom
Its VERY repititive isnt it ?
@nassim1173 I'm level 70 have reached level 20 on about 6 different exo's and still haven't found it repetitive. although I have over 600 hours on monster hunter and know capcoms games are a slow burn and take time to unlock everything
This game is surprisingly fun, also heard theyre adding more game modes in the coming weeks, which is desperately needed.
They're also adding 'alpha' variants to every suit next month, which gives them an entirely different primary weapon that changes up their playstyles!
I just finished the game and holy sht it has more to offer. That end game 10 man raid was something else!
the dlc gonna be crazy
@@TheMonkeyShowOnlineThere's also beta variants coming in January
The suits have a pretty nice amount of customization options. You glossed over the modules but they are EXTREMELY important once you level up a suit. 2 main options per slot or you can forgo modifying the suits abilities specifically for more general things. Each suit can have about 3 unique builds like focusing more on damage, movement, or CC.
The speed run element is the real fun killer in all of it's game mode.
I need EDF6 to come to America already.
As a lover of anything to do with dinosaurs I was incredibly excited for this. But I REALLY wish it had a story mode, even a short one like Titanfall 2. I'm not a huge fan of competitive games, but at least a story mode would have made a convoluted story worthwhile and fun for those who enjoy the concept of the game.
Honestly, it does have a group story. Honestly, you get the feeling of a story mode if you invest into the data you unlock.
Play and watch the data in the analysis after each fight, you get about 2 per fight, which progress the story, characters, and bigger cutscenes. It's awesome.
It has one of the most interesting stories I've seen from a game in a long time. It has a real over-the-top, crazy sci-fi story, like something you'd see in Stargate.
Every match you play unlocks more of the story, so while it doesn't have a classic single player campaign, there IS definitely a story worth checking out.
If there is one game that needed a single player story mode, it's this one. I want to know more about this world because it's crazy. The fact that they didn't add any kind of offline mode, even a botmatch, is really a dealbreaker for me. I really wish bots would become a standard feature in MP only games again, because at some point this game will die, and then it's functionally worthless, and I hate that. If it at least had basic bot functionality, it'd still be playable years from now in some form.
I agree. We really need Bots back in MP games.
they could've skipped the whole time traveling island mess and gone with a more EDF inspired campaign and have the island be simulation matches for R&D purposes. Game is now instantly worth the full price price tag it was given.
They could always patch it in before shutting servers down. I’d say it’s more likely here cause of the effort they put into the story.
@@Alex_Logan22 I can't think of any game that added a SP/co-op campaign mode after launch.
@@Lorkanthal
I was referring to bots.
Disappointed that this review has missed a lot lf the awesome content that comes as you progress into the game.
I'm having a blast with Exoprimal, one of the best online multiplayers I've seen it as long as i can remember!
I'm having fun playing it. It's an over the top crazy game typical from Capcom and looking forward to the future additions to the game.
The lootboxes are free and after lvl 51 you get one for free each lvl after and 1000 gold. There is a lot i love of how they made the story and getting a surprise new final mission is cool and some are really fun
Time to go dino huntiiiiin! Thanks Gameranx! 🦕 🦖
👌
One thing I will say that impressed me the most, everything works on day of release! I can’t remember the last multiplayer game that worked 100% on day one release.
The game is absurdly fun. Since the story is tied in with the multiplayer, variety starts to come out as you play more. More Dinos different objectives and even a couple more maps start to appear. It’s an odd way of doing things but it’s also different from every other game out there.
Couple things you got slightly incorrect in the video is the PvP part. There is a PvE selection where you will still race the other team to finish objectives first but won’t come into contact with each other and fight. The other thing is the games monetization. The most important thing to know about the monetization is that the loot boxes are earned for FREE as you level up and can not be purchased or obtained in any other way. Everything that is purchasable is cosmetic only. All in all it’s a very odd game in how it progresses but it is as fun as it looks. Definitely give it a shot.
Im honestly waiting till they add a pure survival co-op game mode then I might get it and when it's cheaper lol
This game is so fun and intense, different and refreshing
Gameranx need to keep playing then remake this video.. its rushed
It's about time for a Dino Crisis Remake!
I'll be more than happy for a RE1 type hd remaster.
There’s also the 10 player raid final match and some more stuff. Plus there’s a Monster Hunter collaboration happening at the beginning of next year and a SF one happening pretty soon I believe.
Also the Beta suits coming out soonish
Most of this video was great! The only area of the breakdown that I did not agree with is the fact you say the story is pointless. I feel having a hero shooter that actually explains the world we are in is a plus. Something Overwatch, Paladins and Apex fall short of. Being able to connect with the world we are battling in and understanding why we are doing this is a major plus imo.
I was hoping they'd do it like Left 4 Dead where you could squad up or with friends or play solo and go on cool missions. It'd make sense since they have so much story here
Because left 4 dead was boiling over with story right?... 🤦♂️
@@HereToWatchNotRead At no point did they say left 4 dead had an amazing story, just that they hoped the gameplay structure was similar
Really disingenuous review, monetization is nowhere near as bad as mentioned (there’s no way to buy most skins because there’s no premium currency and pretty sure lootboxes can’t be bought, only earned) and there’s a LOT more content than mentioned here, just takes a while to open up. Was on the fence about this but have been having a blast since launch, feels like the best case scenario for what Overwatch 2’s PvE could’ve been with a way faster pace and constant chaos. Surprising amount of customization per character too. Support is just as fun to play as DPS here, and that’s really saying something compared to most class based games! Honestly can’t believe how much this review got flat out wrong
Exoprimal is what overwatch 2 wanted to be for its pve
Wasn’t OW supposed to be blizzard’s new MMO IP back then but got turned into what it is?
@@xil3ntkha0s yup but really only the overall design of the characters as what was brought over nothing else really
Damn didn't know this game had a skill tree
I just finished the game and holy sht!!! That end game 10 man raid is something else!!!
Hey! Great video, but I think there’s a large chunk that’s quite inaccurate. In your defense, the game does NOT do a good job explaining progression and how different things are unlocked.
There are quite a few maps. I’m level 54, and just saw a new one. There’s probably 6 or so, and the routes change. So they feel kind of different. But same maps can be played back-to-back which feels a little meh.
Regarding PvP modes, there’s actually quite a bit:
- Push the payload (the first one you’ll see all the time)
- Domination (3 capture points)
- Energy pickup? (Kind of like TDM, pick up energy, get enemy energy on kills)
- Charge the Hammer (PvE for first 2 points, then last is PvP) you charge up a hammer by killing dinos then you whack an objective with it
- I swore I saw one more but I’m blanking
Basically, you get access to new maps, dinos, and modes the more you play, it takes A WHILE. There’s also apparently an endgame mode too, but haven’t gotten there yet.
Suit progression is alright, you get modules (basically runes) to upgrade exosuit abilities or stats. Apparently, they’re releasing Alpha variants of suits with different guns and abilities for each in August. So we will see how that goes!
The story is hella goofy, but there’s quite a bit of content there.
Anyway, I agree with a lot of your points, but there really is A LOT of modes and maps. You just don’t start really seeing it until about Level 20 unfortunately. And the game doesn’t explain anything in that regard, they just start showing up lol.
Honestly, this looks and sounds a lot like Warframe. Mostly-linear objectives in very well designed but somewhat repetitive maps, and you can give buffs and whatnot to make them stronger without directly changing their abilities. I really wanna see exactly where this ends up, I'm excited!
Dont compair this half baked shit to warframe.
it's on gamepass btw
This game is gonna end up JUST like Anthem
How? Capcom is nothing like EA or bioware considering they dont give up on their games
@@Sakatoyaa simple answer. because its a half baked, repetitive and they dont listen to community feedback even after the playtesting. Its the same game it was duting the the pt. Fun for 15mins. Easy to move on and play something else. The company will move on also.. making a dead game only worthy of memes.
Falcon I'm honestly a fan you. You're one of my most liked at gameranx.. That being said you got the loot boxes wrong. You can get a battle pass yes but you don't pay for loot boxes you get them as rewards. Every mech has it's own up to lvl 20 battle pass thats free then you have the paid battle pass. all the war chest are free
While I like the idea of getting new maps and modes throughout the lifespan of a game. One mode? handful of maps? Sounds like half a game from those aspects. You'd think the higher ups in charge would learn from so many "failures" but I guess I should've learned that full games are a thing of the past.
They didn't even learn from the playtest.. same game it was a year ago.. yawn.
