I followed your advice and do "what I think I would do" in a survival situation. I did not last one single night. I drank dirty water which got me worms in my stomach, got wound infection which lead to fever, and then I got food poisoning from eating random mushrooms. All of that got me so tired that I couldn't make a fire. Collapsed from fatigue while trying to set up a bed of palm leaves. *And then I woke up DEAD* Realistic.
There are no coconuts in the rain forest. A jaguar would not act like that just walking up to you, its a stalker that you wouldn't see until it has its teeth in your neck. As always, developers never do any survival research and just go of what they think it would be like.
Here you go everyone: David James Bellamy OBE (born 18 January 1933) is an English author, broadcaster, environmental campaigner and botanist. He has lived in County Durham since 1960. The New Zealand Tourism Department, a government agency, became involved with the Coast to Coast adventure race in 1988 as they recognised the potential for event tourism. They organised and funded foreign journalists to come and cover the event. One of those was Bellamy, who did not just report from the event, but decided to compete. While in the country, Bellamy worked on a documentary series Moa's Ark that was released by Television New Zealand in 1990.
Sounds like Cast Away, but in a jungle. WILSSSSOOONNN!!!!! Love the channel man. I watch every video, even if it's a game I'm not bothered about. Interesting, funny and informative. ;)
After playing Stranded deep in 2019 to see how much progress the devs made and being disappointed about the issues the game had from the start that still are issues in the latest patch, Ive decided to rewatch this and purchase green hell. It seems like Green hell is treating the customer way better than other survival game dev teams and I couln’t be happier to know that i’m getting my money’s worth. Especially the fact that the devs will release 1.0 only after a year sounds way more promising than having a game like stranded deep take over 5 years to finish and still not even being close to working properly. Thank you for this review. Your reviews are one of the only ones I’ve been able to trust and so far you’ve never disappointed.
Mack, I just wanted to write you a comment. You are my favorite game reviewer on this planet and one of my favorite UA-camrs. I love your videos because you actually know what you're talking about because you started playing games when games where great (90's early 2000's). I love that you know what a great game is versus a shit one. You are one of the only people that even know what the first mafia game was about, and all of these people saying how they like the second and third ones and don't get me wrong the second one was good as well, but no game that shares the title of 'Mafia' has been as good like the first one. And don't even get me started at what a disappointment the third one was. You aren't scared to say when a big title such as COD or Battlefield screwed up. You are both funny and informative and before I buy any game, I check if you did a review of it because I trust you, and like I said multiple times now, know what you're talking about. Thank you for saving me money and giving me hours of fun. Keep going!
@@dorothyfranks7749 I'm sure it will, I wasn't calling out the game, I was calling him out. He just made a video rant about a game, and a separate video just about rebinding keys, in which he said this day and age it's unforgivable for a game developer to not allow you to rebind WASD, yet he didn't mention it here. Seems strange to me.
Now that SoA has been completed do you think there's a chance that we'll see a Final Full Review for this game? Would love it if you did but understand otherwise.
Subi_fan >thinks he's not an animal because he eats leaves and not meat >doesn't realize that he's just a grazing bovine making fun of lions and wolves
I really am loving The Forest but damn this adds all the extras you wish it also had.. Be amazong if both teams worked together to make the best survival game EVER!
I'll accept the statement of "realistic survival game" when you don't get a prompt every 4 minutes to eat. Humans can go at least a couple of days without food. Also water. They ask you to drink water more often than you would in Miami during summer soo yeah not realistic yet.
Hey buddy. I'm a new subscriber. Mate, I love your videos. Your commentary is both insightful and entertaining (especially your BFV beta video haha!). Looking forward to seeing more from you. Do you ever stream? Cheers, from Bristol.
The problem with every survival game, and I think it's led to the creation of survival games is that they are always made by devs who are great artists and they are level designers and that's about all they know. They have to make a full game knowing only those things and maybe how to make an interface and crafting system. But one of the hardest things to make in gaming are AI and then writing/story is hard if your not a writer but also important. So they make a budget game with what they know how to do and it's most always hollow in the end. Sometimes they can get enough money later to hire a decent AI programmer and writer to make the game a bit better, but usually they never get that far.
I think this game really deserves a revisit, Mack
why?
@@crowns9269
Because
@@crowns9269 Because the game is out of early access.
@@crowns9269 why do you think cunto? He obviously thinks it’s improved!
Let's make a list here:
✓ Open world
✓ Survival game
✓ Handwritten survival book with various crudely drawn pictures and tabs where you select blueprints from
✓ White transparent in-world blueprints
✓ Water collection structure
✓ Can craft trap structures (specifically a dead-fall trap)
✓ Spam a button to build structures from blueprints by adding materials to them
✓ Can chop trees dynamically taking chunks out of the trunk before the tree falls beating either sticks or logs
✓ Must carry big logs over your shoulder only one or two at a time
✓ Has hostile cannibals
✓ Can consume human flesh
✓ Dodgy AI
✓ Early Access
✓ Takes place in an expansive Forest
So in other words, totally not *The Forest*
The survival aspects are WAY more in-depth than the forest. Forest is easy. Play and see.
Now add 100 birds to collect, 100 bits of cloth tied on trees to collect and 100 fish to skewer and you have an Ubisoft game...doesn't matter which game, any Ubisoft game will do.
The Rainforest.
You could make a list like that comparing any two games in the same genre.
@@Alex34567 the devs are all former Techland employees, so the know how to make an emersive survival game 💀
The Forest: Remake Early Access? I haven't beat the first one yet.
Its what people thought the forest would be. Way better in every single way
uhm really? The game has been out so long and you haven't beat it even once? How long have you had it?
to be fair Ive had a forest for years since early acces but I didnt bother to finish it to be fair
The forest is an awful game, main story can be completed in 6 hours and it is quite clearly rushed at the end. Combat is easy and building is pointless.
Sums it up pretty well. It was fun for an hour - when it first came out. I did try the VR version, and that was pretty terrible in most cases.
"What will you pick to survive in the jungle?" *Mack showing up with a bell*
He could have gone with Ranulph Fiennes, he could have gone with Ray Mears, he could have gone with Bear Grylls, but no...he goes with famous flower collector David Bellamy. lmfao.
all these videos need more bells!
And chance you could re-review this Mac? Massive update just came out where you can build on trees and in water now

David Bellamy was one of my childhood favourite TV people
You didn't mention that you can't rebind any keys at all... I thought you would bring that up..
True, but that will be addressed in an upcoming update.

4:50 Blizzards and high winds put fires out in The Long Dark. A fantastic survival game you reviewed awhile back.
The long dark is quite realistic too, fires will go out in strong wind and when not in cover.
Now that SoA has been completed do you think there's a chance that we'll see a Final Full Review for this game? Would love it if you did but understand otherwise.
Please revisit this the story mode is amazing
I'm so glad your alive.
The Nurnburgring raceway has been called the Green Hell for like 70 years.
Good old David Bellamy. Still with us. Lives up in Mack's neck of the woods.
I would love to see you stream this game mac. Do you have any plans to?
Swear down this game is using the forest game engine, scripts etc.. even the way the tribes move around
James Paylor Hmm i thought the same too even the back pack reminds me of the forest
The graphics are much better than the forest. I think it uses Unreal instead of Unity.
Same as Stranded Deep as well.
Why is everyone going on about that disappintment of a game..
Hey Mack will Macks Corner ever make a return?
He has talked about it and it's not coming back anytime soon, maybe sometime next year
Wow, I thought you were going to shred this! You are full of surprises Mack
Will this channel survive Article 13? Seems like the end of fair use footage in the EU. I'm a long time Patreon supporter, very concerned.
How did that go?
Yea you cant share a news article you have to pay the publisher to share it. Not to sure about games

Hell, lol j/k, unless they are like that Vegan Gains fella. If they are then pull the plug because there's more issues there then food choice.
More like the other way around. Stop mocking people for caring for pain and suffering of animals.
The game I've been waiting for.
I really am loving The Forest but damn this adds all the extras you wish it also had.. Be amazong if both teams worked together to make the best survival game EVER!
No Battle for Azeroth WAB yet? Are you giving it a miss this time around?
Would there be an update for this review? Is this worth a buy in '21?
Music in the beginning ?
I am like Bear Grylls. I'll do a shit load of things in the wild, then go back to my room at the resort.
A throwback to the ole tribal cannibal flicks.
Sounds a lot like the forest, i might try it out!
Can you do a rust wab?
Loving the intro GREEN HELL
Guess I have to buy it now. Thanks Mac
Came expecting the usual ol survival game rant. Ended up seeing a fantastic looking game
"You gotta learn the ways of the jungle guys. You gotta learn the ways..." Priceless.
Looks great. There have been several survival games recently released that have been very solid. This one, and Mist Survival
I'll accept the statement of "realistic survival game" when you don't get a prompt every 4 minutes to eat. Humans can go at least a couple of days without food. Also water. They ask you to drink water more often than you would in Miami during summer soo yeah not realistic yet.

The water on the ground looks good
I remember David Bellamy, because I’m an old fart.
Reach for the Sword!
One moment I’ll just grab my Terry Nutkins.
Bellamy used to get so excited about plants. That lisp he had cracked me up. Lol
He’s excellent, I remember everyone at school doing impressions of him. Even Lenny Henry did a great impersonation😁

They definitely took note of the building aspect from The Forest. No doubt about it has a strong 'The Forest' vibe to it.
Looks like the forest, plays like it, animations are similar. only difference is that it appears to have a deeper crafting system.
It's ok Mac, we all feel equally enthusiastic about Dianne Abbot.
_Lets learn the ways....... the ways, the ways...... of Survival...._ *_DING_*
Its like hearing young educated Arnold Schwarzenneger review a survival game. Like this guy's voice im subbing
This seems to be the better of the survival games. I like how it doesn't hold your hand all the way thru and just let's you figure things out.
David Bellamy, haven’t heard that name for a long time lol is he still alive ?
I was waiting on this one Mack. Thank you!
Is it as realistic as minecraft tho?
been totally hyped for this since the first reveal trailer. good to know it is worth a buy. thx
I know who David Bellamy is! I met him once at Butlins way back in the early 80's.
Hey Mack have you got a discord channel I could join please?
what spec is your computer and what settings are you mainly running your games at?
His specs are on his channel page :)
Will you revisit this title?
Why do the tribes consist of killer clowns?
every time i see this guys vid recommended to me i say in a british accent to nobody "is it worth a buuuuy"

So Green Hell is The Long Dark in Brazil?
Love this game for a early access its excellent, some of those AAA developers could learn a few things from this company..
It looks like stranded deep mechanics before they changed it to be like all other survival games
Does it have seasons.
It has the gameplay of stranded deep and UI of The Forest. It doesn't stick out at all...
When is tomb raider review coming out?
Daniel Ratcliffe DLC?
Would be great to play this in VR...
Your wish is about to be granted now, in 2021 😉
Just FYI - no ultrawide (21:9) support in this game currently.
um gawa man i love your'e review's if i'm ever down you always cheer me up no end keep up the good work mac.....
I've always wanted an actual realistic sim survival game ever since Man vs. Wild
