Excessive cutscenes are certainly a problem, but I think Quick Time Events are worse. They're this unholy half-arsed mix of cutscene and gameplay that tries to be both and does neither well. The cutscenes are my time to take my hand off the mouse, sit back, and soak up some story. Do not violate that with an input prompt! They suck because the two things they try to combine are fundamentally opposed in design. Gameplay is active and cutscenes are passive, so when you try to combine them, you end up with this mess that feels like it should be passive, but never lets you relax because it keeps asking for input. They're like a stroad. Those horrible multi-lane roads lined with car-centric businesses and hectares of parking lots that nobody would ever want to visit on foot.

Thank you for the podcast

Thank you for the video

This one's rock man. Algorithm got me this time.

The video starts at 3:15.

Even with the over abundance of cutscenes, Mad Payne 3 is still one of my favorite video games of all time. John Wick before John Wick.

Now I've decided not to care about idiots like you. You are definitely not Korean, Japanese, or Asian, right? I thought non-Asians would hate this game because of people like you. However, after watching many live broadcast, I realized that even non-Asians enjoyed this game. Yesterday I saw a broadcast of an American playing this game. I asked him several questions. Complaints like yours. He said there was no such issue at all. This game is not for everyone. But I don't want to listen to this nonsense as the truth.

dangit i'm already subscribed. can't sub again

Although I don't agree with some points, you cooked way to hard with this one 🔥

Not impressed at all. Not even going to finish this trash. What is the point of leveling up, when the enemies level up as well??? Stupid logic, apparently these devtards have not a clue what progression is. Deleted, and will be the last game I get from you, shift up. You can take your garbage soulslike game and shove it where the sun don't shine. It will take more than digital ass to impress me.

great review I was wondering about this game leaving a like

Great video! Great editing/joke pace (and your grammar's better than most North American KZfaqrs lol). Your voice sounds great. What mic/hardware/software do you use? Subbed!

Har! You're hilarious man. Insta-sub!

4:10 This is found out to be a lie after ravens last log Still shit tho

Walking simulator #2955 that is actually an exploration of mental illness 🥱

Omg you just don't get, you can't appreciate art you stinky pants! This game is not for you because you don't have the brain power to accept its miraculous 4k resolution artistic vision!!!!

Based Tameem jumped ship before the shitstorm. I kneel...

I liked the first one. Except the Song in the Ending. That one sucked ass. It pulled me completely out of it.

wait...there is a game in the making with a black samurai, the game is named Yasuke... and people rage about it?? Do they know that Yasuke is also the name of the frickin _Black_ samurai?!?! U know...the one that lived in the nobunaga period?

El libre mercado es un chiste lrptsm me voy a pegar un tiro en los huevos.

My algorithm is broken. Got a Raid of Overwatch ad, when I clicked the link, it sent me to a site dedicated to overwatch nsfw 😭😭

Beautiful, wondering how long did it took tho.

0:06 Ok am gona protest here. i highly, HIGHLY, recomend you look into stalker. Its NOT a post apocalyptic game, and it refelcts that perfectly. I Highly again HIGHLY, recomend you look into the original trilogy, especialy shadow of chernoby, and pleas, look up a-life when it comes to stalker.

Nice

Bro you can’t edge me like this, I need to hear you say “normal egg”

***Spoilers*** The andros-eidos are not humans, at all actually. They were made without any trace of human DNA. 100% artificial. The naytibas are the direct descendants of the human race who stripped all of their humanity in order to gain the strength and will power to defeat their own creation. Mother sphere was created by humans who in turn created the androids to wipe out the human race. Humans evolved into naytibas to fight back against the androids leading to both sides losing what it means to be human. In the end it takes a joining of both sides in order for humanity to survive. Towards the beginning of the game you are made to believe one thing but only discover the truth as the game progresses to the very end. Pretty awesome story if you ask me and pulling inspiration from some very solid sources was a huge plus for me.

I wasn't sure if all of this was sarcasm or it genuinely was a good game untill past the half of the video. 10/10 video, would play if not because I'm without a pc rn.

No, we’re loosing bro to the brainrot please stop edging and stop the sigma grind

So much relaxed now that have passed those 7 seconds. Surely nothing will go wrong!

this is one of the most shittiest characters in years 😒🤔i bet abby is fine , or wait ....MJ from spiderman II ...maibe the upcoming FABLE game chic is your type .but joks aside dude the thing with the combat was the most nonsencical thing i heard my intire live . i mean you have the controler in your hand man , if you suck ..why are you blaming it on the game mechanics .do you think the devs didn't run tests .they just put it together and throw it to the market ? and one last thing regardless of your feeling for the game .they did make a profite and were celibrating back at home . and the producer said somthing nice too .this is just a 25/30 max hours in the game and then game over and get back to reality . joks on you if you expected somthing else , i have seen some of your video bro i feel like you missed the marck on this one

Never mind that it runs perfectly smooth, has no bugs, has responsive combat, plenty of different areas to explore, has a huge variety of enemies. All the things you bitched about sounds like a you problem.

Really love the gameplay and best physics out there.

Damn, dude has shit tier taste.

I put 15 hours into the game. And I got bored already. I'll be honest the boobs are what got me into it but after a while running on the bunny suit I rather read manga or watch anime. The story is not engaging. The non-stop music in the background makes you tired. I don't regret buying the physical copy but I think it needed more time in the oven to be a better game. I was a little bit surprised though with the underground mission where "zombies" pop up. It had resident evil vibes and that was cool. But overall I think this review nails it.

Idiot

This review is unhinged and laughable and it’s going to age like milk. It’s a better game than the turds that other developers came out in recent memory. It feels like a breath of fresh air in the gaming community. Combat is stellar, story needs work but it’s doable and character design and world building is great, visually it’s beautiful!

lol. there was a lot i agreed with. the game felt designed for one on ones but you ran into a lot of fights where there were creatures all around you. the saving grace was using the surge or beta energy. unlike you lock on ticked me off. i turned it off in the settings so i could scope my surroundings easier. I ABSOLUTELY agree the voice acting was trash. once i finish my current playthrough for the final ending I'm prolly going to turn the audio to korean and live with subtitles lol. But there is something major you got wrong about the story ***Spoilers** You stated they were humans. and used a scene to prove it. but the whole point of that scene was to show Lily trying to deny the truth. which was mother sphere created andro eidos (what you play as and interact with others in the game), eventually went to war with the real humans and won. Humans facing extinction went into hiding and in attempting to force rapid evolution on themselves lost their humanity and were deformed into the Naytiba. when those creatures swarmed the planet mother sphere to her artificial humans to space and created the colony. she wiped all records and led her creations to believe that they were humans who had been pushed out by those "unknown" creatures. The story is about discovering that you are going around killing the last remnants of humans that had grown so desperate due to mother sphere wiping them out. thematically the main story and a lot of the side quests are about whether you accept the lie told or pursue the truth regardless of the damage done. one of the best examples of this is in pretty much the only side story where you get a choice. do you tell the quest giver the truth about how his friends died or do you omit the truth for his peace of mind. If you don't tell him anything then he goes on believing there was nothing he could have or should have done. he has peace of mind and is content in living in the lie. If you tell him the truth then he breaks down not being able to handle how events played out and later when you return you find his corpse after he killed himself. there was a bit of back and forth between her and adam and one thing she states for the after when she let the man live the lie was "I'm not sure I would be strong enough" putting herself in a hypothetical situation where she might be confronted and had her world turned upside down when a lie she believed was exposed. It aslo sheds a little light on why mother sphere would have wiped all andro eidos' species' memories of the real humans and their part in human extinction. Thematically a lot of the quests are like this. and the end of the story is the culmination of this dilemma. Do you accept the real truth and take Adam's hand, and maybe work to a better world where a newer hybrid of human(naytiba) and andro eidos could form possibly bridging the gap between the two species? or do you reject the truth and adam, killing him, abandoning Xion, and returning to the mothersphere. Overall I thought it was a pretty decently thought out game. I do agree they relied heavily on the storyline groundwork nier had laid. but in the end I think they diverged enough to create a different enough story (unless the second game had that plot. (haven't played yet. sorry. kept telling myself i'd buy it when it went on sale then never got around to it.) In the end it had a lot of flaws. but I really feel that the upside to the game far outweighed the negatives. I am a little sad you only found it as decent. but everyone has different likes and opinions and I think you did a great job of explaining your reasons.

I don't think he paid attention at all to the story... You got the plot entirely backwards. (Especially summarized in 3:54) 4:12 This scene was Lily coping with the concept that they aren't humans. Granted, everything else is on point (about the voice acting, writing delivery, and gameplay issues), though it's probably worse if you don't learn to accept what you get, both good and bad, but instead focus on them.

This was one of the worst reviews I have ever heard. He’s basically terrible at the game so he says it’s bad.

Hope the algorithm blesses this channel more. It's a crime to have this much views when you're this entertaining

it is a stellar game

LOL! I think you're just trying to get views from angry people!

best game ever

as much as i love booty. it wasnt enough to convince me to buy this. Nier is Nier. this Nier's like style is kinda cringey tbh. the protagonist is just too emo for my tastes. lol

The combat is pretty good, specially after mid game, the rest is just ok.

Finally, a reasonable review

I like this game so far, it certainly is not perfect. But for me the positives outweight the negatives

I mostly impressed with how well it runs coming from a new developer and all the side content and outfits included in the base game. It just feels like a videogame from the PS2 era. Remember that Drakengard 1 and 2 had some terrible voice acting and tons of quirks. Still very fun in their own way though.
