Let's face it stupidity won over art a long time ago.

"Wolfenstein Young-Thots" my wife spit out her salad at that one. LoL

The only thing “next gen” are the system requirements!

That irreversible joke was top tier mate. Obscure enough to fly over a few heads.

I discovered your channel and I must say your sarcasm and total lack of care for PC (not the platform) culture along with the honesty when it comes to game mechanics is something I overly enjoy. Keep up telling people things they don t want to hear!

I love that I can always count on 21Kiloton for an honest review

Outstanding :) Love the STDiversity reference haha. Az from HeelvsBabyface would be proud :] Live long and prosper Sir :)

This is the only real review I trust. You and a literal handful of other reviewers on KZfaq are the only ones that deserve the title of game journalists. I am so sick of all these fake game journalists, their agendas, and their influence on game development. They have single handedly ruined so many franchises. I pray for the day that "21kilton" channel hits multi million sub count.

34:05 agree, that make no sense. For example: you need someone to voice Kratos, does that mean you absolutely have to travel back in time to freaking Sparta to get "correct" actor. But seriously Christopher Judge is as far from being greek as you can get and yet he was perfect for the role.

At least Prey is good enough to make me forget this games existence.

That contract stack was utter nonsense. Do devs care about gamers anymore, or are they all under the yoke of business execs that just want money?

Devs: “Here’s GunShooter 27!” Gamers: “It’s the exact same shit as last year!” Devs: “Here’s Repetitive Loop Shooter!” Gamers: “Yay!”

Summarized my feelings exactly. Arkane have something here cool here, if they want to expand upon it. I would try to go the route of a dead rising. You play the whole loop without interruptions, the save house is not a loading screen it’s in the game and you have to manage your in game clock but at the reset you keep your lvl and you gradually get stronger and stronger.

Another great video. Deathloop seems like as you said a clever game though I may wait to see if they remove the DRM and optimize it.

Usually these days all I need to see is a promotional picture or trailer and I know whether I will like a game or not. It’s a sad state. Thank god for 21 Kiloton.

I think your reviews are so spot on for how I feel about modern gaming. People are so enamoured with absolute standard shit nowadays that it baffles me.

Stuttering with Bethesda games is not just from Arkane. All of their games has the same problem.

Holes in machetes and blades are there for the purpose of avoiding the creation of a vaccum when cutting something. Think about slicing aome deli meat or cheese, sometimes the slice your cutting off can get stuck to the blade. This is less likely to happen with holes in the blade

27:22 "seeing brown hands in video games" *Drunken Pipe Bomb stops*

Thank you for calling out The Outer Worlds, my god that game was garbage. Their definition of evil in an OBSIDIAN RPG of all things, was "Capitalism".

Beat me to it

It’s pronounced: Bugthesda

When a game that looks as bang average as Deathloop has a 1060 as its minimum, you know they've done a piss poor port to PC. I mean, in order to get PC gamers invested in wanting to drop dolla billz on this monstrosity, you'd think they'd have done a bit more to lower the barrier to entry, something that could have been done - as HAS been done by other games that make this dogshit look like Tetris in comparison, whilst requiring much more reasonably spec'd hardware.

Properly commenting on all the nonsense, both in terms of wokeness and performance, while getting blinded by neither and giving the game a fair shake? We need more reviewers like this! Awesome stuff!

So....when are we getting a Peggle review? Like, a review of the entire series? Ngl, I really wanna hear what you think of it.

That Wuhan joke came out of nowhere and I absolutely loved it!

"AA" quality game with "AAAA" system requirements and price point =P

With that size of a contract, wouldn't suprise me if they have you agree to give them your first born child and be subjected to real time warping experiments and you just agree because TLDR

I love 12 Monkeys and haven’t seen that for years. I got it on DVD so I’m watching that tonight. Top notch video, as usual m8. Keep ‘em coming.

This review is much better than Charlatan Wonder who pretty much said.... "Buy this game so it makes money"

It's why I went overboard with my cpu for my build, to be able to deal with Denuvo lol

As savvy or as cynical as I've ever been, no part of younger me thought about games of the future and imagined what it would mean for us all should the day arrive that any game would hold you over a legal contract the size of the average script, in order to try their latest offering. I loathe moments like these for me - I kind of "the f@ck am I doing playing these games ?" moment of clarity that as events unfold has me fumbling for anything promising a buzz or drastic loss in brain cells - lest the gamer of my past awaken and see all that became of a once welcoming and fair partnership between the people that made the games and the people who paid for them. A corporate wang across the face is what you get for asking for a refund. How clearer must the signs be, this industry is going to have to crash and burn so in time it can grow back healthier and more plentiful.

It's pretty much just dishonored 1.5 with a bunch of guns.. It seems to have some gameplay mechanics that are exactly the same.. But then again, more dishonored type of games is always appreciated over the never ending stream of mainstream games like cod.

I dare say this may be one of the only review chanel left on yt that isn't pozzed to the gills

I was not expecting a machete review to be included, but I enjoyed it.

I GOT MY BREAKFAST TRAILMIX.

They should be forced to put the license agreements before people can purchase the game, see how quick they get rid of that bs once sales take a nosedive lol

Loving your sense of humor. Keep it up, you mad lad.

LOL that thumbnail. "It's a video game" 😆

FINALLY some one who does not love/hate the game on principle

If you'd ever played an NBA career mode with a white player, you'd understand why having a voice actors ethnicity match the character matters.

Had a rough day...A New video from you has made me feel better.

Stallion SUV's gloves have Pity and Fool written on them ... Does that mean The A-Team exists in Deathloop's world?

What a result! Got back after a long long day and found a new Kiloton video essay in my feed. Not one to blow smoke up another’s ass as I am a disagreeable misanthrope who after an existential crisis almost 20 years ago practices extreme solipsism, although this excellent critique here is possibly proof this universe isn’t populated by me alone. But then again the fact this video of your’s arrived when it did could mean that God arranges this sort of stuff exclusively for me because I’m the I’m only person in it. The rest of you are simply NPCs. What shoots this idea is the presence of a burgeoning Woke culture threatening to destroy anything worthwhile, humane and beautiful. There would be no point to it if I am the only real soul in this Universe; unless a cruel joke!Great stuff. Really enjoyed the vid.

Another great piece, 21K. Re Saul Bass, I must mention his wonderful & weird SciFi ant movie PHASE IV.

still not getting notifications when you upload, subbed with notifications on. Completely forget you exist for months, then i see you pop up somewhere and watch all of the content for the last few months

Glad to see that you still post videos. Thank you

You had me at science jizz.

Your reviews are always my most trusted. Good job as usual.

Loved what they did with Prey 2017, but hated Moon Crash personally. I’m kinda bummed that they doubled down on the Moon Crash style instead of the Prey base game style.

That thumbnail is solid gold. 🥇😎

Whenever I see someone playing this it looks like they're running around an empty multiplayer level. It looks horrendously boring.

Im not only subscribed. I recommend this channel to all my friends. I only want a shout out or a comment tell me im nits or something haha. Man its been a time im glad ur back. Love your videos, what videos, your commentary. That one with china was da bomb. Love u man. How i found out about this channel? Fucking deliverance, when u said u dont have to dress like fuck. Damn. Kingdom come was a great game. Anyway. U should get 1 mil in no time u dont need to record videos u need ur voice ur ideas and u yourself hahaa. Cheers

The Kukri was developed in the tropical jungles as a chopping instrument first and foremost. Therefore, additional weight, particularly where those holes are drilled, would significantly increase the chopping ability of a Kukri and make it more useful for it's primary purpose, chopping. You could argue the holes would be useful for reducing overall pack weight, which in a survival situation is a very important consideration. However, one would be better off with a lighter knife/machete style specifically designed for slicing and or piercing and hatchet for superior chopping, or if you want all three in a single tool, to leave the Kukri fully intact.

Hearing you rag on Outer Worlds was so refreshing. Now there's a smug title that's in dire need of being taken down a peg or two. Knew it was going to be woke trash from those character designs alone.

Unfortunately no matter what it does do and get right It also just reminds me too much of alot of the reboots we get nowadays that end up nothing more then just recycled and commercial garbage making sure to check all the right boxes for the politically correct sort in charge and nothing more.

Deathloop looks to be a snooze game. If it wasn't for 21Kilo's commentary I would've fell asleep.

I had forgotten how much I enjoy your speaking style and reviews :)

Wouldn't have thought a vid with this title would have made me want to play the game As long as it's under 15 quid

It has the same engine as as Dishonored 2 and that game had optimisation issues, seems they didn't bother to fix those issues

My favorite role Ali-G played in was the remake of Sweeney Todd... Ali-pie expressly served.

I didn't know about the Denuvo anti-cheat stuff when I played this game last year, but it actually makes some sense. I can recall one instance in the game where I was on the last leg of a puzzle, but couldn't find what I needed on the map to save my life. I had already killed everyone, so there weren't any enemies to bother me as ran circles around the map. I eventually got fed up, tabbed out of the game, opened a browser and looked up the solution to the puzzle (the solution was simple, I'm just stupid), but when I tabbed back into the game and started running around the map again to finish the puzzle, there were *newly-placed land mines all over the map. I figured the game was somehow able to detect that I looked up the solution and was punishing me for it. I honestly thought it was kinda cool in the moment, and I had no idea how the game was able to do that. Denuvo would make sense though, and knowing what Denuvo is, it feels like an invasion of privacy that I did not knowingly agree to.

😀 btw; its also almost universally acclaimed as a 1O/1O game by all journos alike; like those of lGN!

Wow I have this game on PS5, this doesn't even look like the same game. Still doesn't blow me away but this is awefull.

Well actually that episode 6 of season 4 Stargate SG-1 Window of Opportunity was an insightful look into how much someone will go to see their loved one again and the breaking point of letting go. The groundhog style was just there for comedic relief utilising O'Neill and Teal'ç brilliant onscreen chemistry to make this one of the best Stargate episodes. Haha that was fun ;)

Just when my 21kiloton game review deprivation meter was flashing critical, I am saved by a new video! My world is complete again...👍

I'm a simple man. I see a 21kiloton review, I watch, like, and comment. Wasn't particularly interested in this game, even less interested now. Thanks for the vid.

Some novel ideas in their combination but as you said, art is transformation of others work. I guess they tried to pull a Souls-like PvP system but without the novelty factor it fell flat. Do you even get anything out of playing her? Like steal the loot out of the player you killed? Anyways, thanks for the review. Gaming has fallen so flat lately I can hardly get a tinkle in the nethers while watching new releases roll by.

Your reviews and dry humor are quite entrataining,you make me spew out my drink just like dry london gin always does.

I thought this was Jason Statham reviewing Deathloop lol

The demo for Prey made me buy it right after I finished, I was overwhelmed by how incredible it was. I don't want anything to do with this one.

Thank you as always for the insight, 21K! I'd kind of given the game (and possible Arkane) up as a bad job since the gaming media was jizzing so hard over this. It's good to know that Arkane is still Arkane. My cup is really runnething over at the moment (Pathfinder: WotR; Encased, Colony Ship) plus my backlog (Arx Fatalis, Atom RPG), but I will definitely make a note to pick this up in 6 to 12 months. :)

I had to move to a new rig and there was a few channels I had to resub to. Hearing shit like 'mashed bananas' is the reason I'm back.

I absolutely love how you're thorough with the reviews, how you go to every detail about the game, and how you actually play through the game instead of going through the "gamer journalist" method. It's fun and enjoyable hearing you in the background while I play some other games, good job m8

Purchase a Bethesda product get what you deserve. lesson personally learned the hard way.

46:26 jihadists have done industrial sized beheading before the French made it cool

Denuvo is like socialism. Because feelings we must make everyone suffer, but equally, and there is zero benefit to be had.

The writing is what kills the game for me. Its just too... extra. Everything is extra. Also, i hate that they cap your ammo so low yet give it away for free- wuats the point? Just let me hold a few hundred bullets for the gun i fucking brought with me into the mission.

Before I begin my actual comment, I would like to apologize in advance for my inadequate level of English proficiency. I am not a native speaker of the world's current lingua franca which unfortunately leads to me making numerous embarrassing mistakes being made whenever I attempt to communicate using this language. Whenever I am reminded of how I lack the ability to convey my thoughts in an eloquent manner, I feel as though I have committed a cardinal sin, as though every English teacher in the world is simultaneously shaking their head and sighing due to how utterly disappointed they are at me. Although I know that saying sorry to those of you who are reading my comment will not change the fact that I fail miserably to write and speak perfect English, I am writing this as a way to deter a certain type of people who cannot stand poor English (Also known informally as Grammar Nazis) from mocking me by posting unwanted and unnecessary comments detailing my every blunder. In my humble opinion, making grammatical errors should be perfectly acceptable as native speakers should not expect non-native speakers to be able to communicate in their second or third languages eloquently. If you are able to completely understand what the other person wrote, is there really a problem with what they've written? No, because the entire concept of communication is the exchange of information between other intelligent beings, which means that no matter how the exchange of information is made, as long as the information is accurately shared there is not a fundamental issue with their ability to communicate. To see it in another way, remember that someone who isn't fluent in English is fluent in another language. When you think about it this way, isn't it impressive for someone to speak a second language in any capacity? Having empathy and respect are qualities that are sorely missing for far too many people these days, especially on the internet. That being said, I am aware that not all netizens who correct others are doing it to ridicule and shame. There are some who do so with the intent to help others improve and grow. However, displaying the failures of other people publicly will cause the person who is criticized to feel negative emotions such as shame and sadness due to the fact that their mistake has been made obvious which severely undermines the point they were trying to make in spite of their unfamiliarity with the English language. In most circumstances people are not looking for language help when they post anything online. Most people just want to enjoy themselves and have a good time on the internet which is why I would not encourage correcting other people regardless of your intentions. If you really do want to help others with their spelling or grammar, I would highly recommend you to help via messaging privately because not only will you not embarrass anyone, you can also go more in-depth with your explanation which I'm sure the other person will greatly appreciate if they want help, but I digress. I know that I've written a bit of an essay, but I hope I've made my points clear. Anyways, here is the comment I wanted to make: shid And coom,

Another Spot On Review Bud!

The sad thing is watch as this game becomes “game of the year”.

Even if the game isn't objectively woke, too bad. If the developers and people involved specifically lean woke while marketing the game then they don't get my money. It's that simple. Thanks for the review, as always 👌

You are the best game reviewer I ever seen! Keep it up!!

Yes !! I was waiting for this!! I actually have been playing this game alot too collect weapons and upgrade myself than I will played the mission's. It's a mixed bag but it is fun.

I'm literally watching Dishonored 2 skill reskinned to a different color. How is this a new game?

I HATE the ai in the division 2. They were fucking huge cheaters. They would charge you if you went for a reload or take cover if you switched weapons based on micro secound reaction times. It was a cheep ass form of artificial difficulty. Letting the computer enemy's know what button I am pushing as I am pushing it is not intelligent ai its omniscient ai.

Does it include the option to remove motion blur on PS5?

it runs fine on max settings for me, but then again I don't have denuvo, I "bought" it from a better place!

I just wish more reviewers were more honest like you.. This game sounds cool on paper and maybe on the first playthrough but god did it get boring fast.. And u are spot on about the game save/time management situation, I felt like the game was playing me instead of me enjoying and playing the game! Just horrible

Going to wait on this one.

Excellent review love all the behind the scene quips subscribed!

Who here would pay for the opportunity to have a pint with Ole 21 kiloton? You are my fave voice of common sense reason on all the topics I have heard you expound upon. Good job mate and cheers.

Awesome review. I was wandering if you were gonna play and review Farcry 6 as i am wanting to pick it up, but because it's only Singleplayer and no map creator or Multiplayer i'm a bit concerned that $80 too much for a singleplayer game. I'm willing to wait for a review and than pick it up later.

yeah Denuvo, was the main point that killed it for me, I will reconsider it if its gets removed

I finished it today, oh boy they really drove the promising story over cliff at the end

earned youreself a subscriber since you can ignore the PC crap

This game doesn't look any more graphically advanced than Prey, which itself was only a moderate step up from Dishonored 2. I always figured developers were deliberately not properly optimizing their games to inflate the system requirements ever since GTA V released. If I was conspiracy minded, I might say hardware manufacturers and developers probably have an arrangement going.

25:10 because you only "own" temporary license which grant you access to the game where they play with you.

Aw, can't we swear anymore? Nvm. Nice review as always sir

Re: the point 34 minutes in, Should James Earl Jones have been prevented from voicing Vader because Anakin's a white guy? Of course not, James Earl Jones is an excellent actor. Btw, you can be 1/3rd each of eskimo, maori and latino through some careful incest and tricky definitions. Normally this sort of thing works in powers of 2, so you'll never get even thirds. However, if you define race as "what percentage of my ancestors are from place X," then all you need to do is warp the number of ancestors to a multiple of 3. Fortunately, european royalty has given us some handy reference material when it comes to the helpful applications of incest. So, logic tells us that if two half siblings procreate, their offspring have 3 grandparents instead of 4. If you're not a pedant, you can just leave it at that and spare this hypothetical world a ton of dysfunctional family dynamics and mutant babies. If you are a pedant, then one could make the argument that the resulting kid(s) would be 2/4ths of race X, 1/4th each of race Y&Z. So, if we go by drink ratio genetics, how do we achieve that mythical 1:1:1? First things first, pull a gilgamesh and make a kid that's 2/rds 1 parent, 1/3rds another by having parent 1 knock up their child so 2/3rds of parent 1's genes are represented in the grandkid. So, then take our kid that's 2/3x and 1/3Y pair them up with someone that's 2/3Z and 1/3Y. That gets us to 2/6X, 2/6Y, 2/6Z. Also a ton of genetic defects and trauma.
