Blood Dragon is a great game, and IMO is actually a huge improvement on vanilla FC3 simply because it doesn't go out of its way to be serious and then throw in such an utterly unbelievable premise as the main character, who has pretty much zero weapons training or combat experience, being able to almost singlehandedly take on an island full of hardened killers. FC3 looks good and plays well enough minus the game's enraging save system, but its storyline is just so incredibly shitty that I can't enjoy it. Blood Dragon fixes that in the cheesiest, most amazing, most nostalgic way possible, and for that I love it.
@@vincentcrow6075 you think that Far Cry 5's storyline is bad? Far Cry 5's and New Dawn's (well at least 5) have the best storylines of Far Cry because it's heavily flattered by the whole map, where you can find the best secondary characters, letters, hideouts and missions of all of the Far Crys.
@@inesitadeica you confusing soft with warm. Characters and missions might be okay, but the FC5's plot IS bad. It's literally made of annoying antagonists, plot holes, most severe, infuriating ludonarrative dissonance i ever saw, deus-ex-machina out-of-nowhere asspulling twists and a giant neon "fuckyou" sighn for the ending. FC5 gameplay is fun, especially with a friends, but main storyline and, especially, it's execution is an atrocious, vile, steaming pile of hot garbage. Period.
??? this game is amazing? and how is it a "peasant console" hours of playing split screen on halo 3... last time i checked i NEVER had that on "glorious PC" You can blab about specs all you want, but PC can NEVER replicate the homey feeling of a console and your best friends on halo 3
This game actually has around eight guns. Although, like you said, this is your first impressions form *early* on in the game and they aren't collectible until later on in the story.
I really like his idea with making standalone games. I'm much more inclined to pay for a game that's $15 and genuinely fun instead of $60. Needless to say if developers did this I'd be more than happy to pay for their games.
>Assassin's Creed Power Rangers Judging by how fast Ubisoft is turned a reasonably historically accurate game into a ridiculous (but still pretentiously serious) game with ancient arabic assassins in 1800-s America, I'd say Power Rangers are a logical continuation.
The thing that I found great about Blood Dragon, is that it's basically built-up by a ton of references. For example, there are four turtles in a sewer which, of course, is a reference to TMNT. I think it actually was right were you were in the beginning, where the video tape was on the map.
Man I miss TB, the bloke had pretty much the exact same tastes as me in regard to pop culture and video games. When he gave something a glowing review, I almost always loved it too.
This was my favourite single player fps of 2013. Enjoyed it even more than Bioshock. and its campaign is light-years better than BF4 and Ghosts' single player campaigns. Its about 12 hours long too, which is the sweet spot for game length. The gunplay is flawless too. And the cheese is just so perfectly cheesy. This and Call of Jaurez: Gunslinger were my two most pleasant surprises of 2013. Worth every penny.
6:06 There's actually 8 weapons; later on you get the Terror 4000 minigun and a flamethrower, and for the final mission you get a special weapon which I will not spoil for you. :)
So far Ubisoft has been an amazing studio nowadays. Sure they made some shitty games in the past but they made the amazing Far Cry 3 (which also included multiplayer, co-op and map editors which is a pure example of effort since Far Cry isn't a bestselling franchise), the open world Watch Dogs and Assassins Creed 4 which was a huge improvement over 3. Also Splinter Cell Blacklist seemed to return to its stealthy roots. Before they were not very notable but these days they have caught my attention because of how much care they have for their new releases.
An "Assassin's Creed: Modern" exapandalone concept would be fantastic. Can you imagine your favourite Assassin's Creed game in an urban setting? Climbing sky-scrapers and sticking to alleys and what not? I'd LOVE that. ahaha
This is one of my personal best DLC's ever released. It's supposed to be dumb, it's supposed to be cheesy, it's supposed to have silly references to 80's movies, thats what I love about it! It's not serious and does not intend to be taken serious either. I really hope they do something crazy for FarCry 4 DLC as well, it's much better than those simple add-on DLC's, those are interesting for some hours, then they get boring.
Matthew Holmes He doesn't do hardware reviews, so it doesn't make sense that someone would just give them to him. Also, if he's running multiple monitors at high resolutions, SLI titans would make sense.
Adding the increased run speed, high jumping, and no fall damage to the already wonderful far cry 3 combat, made this one of the funnest games I have ever played. Also I laughed my ass off.
Funny you should say it can't be maxed out on any machine; it's one of the few games I have running smoothly on my economy P.C., and that sweats slightly after a long session on Pac-man. All the setting are on minimum, but still... Also why does everyone forget the take-downs? They both level you up quicker and kill more cyborgs, what's not to like?
the only thing i disagree with you on in this paticular instance is that the silliness is something i actually think is refreshing nowadays games are trying so hard to emulate real life scenarios and be as realistic as humanly possible its nice to see a games going back to the days of cheesy one liners and insane gameplay for no rhyme or reason and i tend to enjoy games that try to be crazy more so than i enjoy bear grylls against the universe with entire legions of soldiers being taken out by one guy and other similar cliches
Hey, I also have a 660 Ti, and I get average FPS unless I look at the sky. If I look at the sky, I start lagging badly and get like 10 or so. Do you experience the same issues?
one thing he kept hinting at was the less guns thing but there were actually more guns in the game and it seemed as though he was quick to judge most of the points in this game without actually knowing if he was right or not.
i appreciate long videos and the ability to sit back relax and just listen to what you have to say. i just noticed your videos tonight and i think i have watched about 6 hours of your videos in 1 sitting just because i agree to what is being said. i am a subscriber :)
huh, i have it on ultra with a gtx 670 and i get 30-40fps all the time, however, if i look all the way up so that i just see the sky, the fps drops to about 20 or so, wich is really weird because its just the sky.
i have a gtx 780 graphics card and it is demanding if you maxed out the settings, but it's really just a matter of overclocking your card or just turn off the post fx which take a HUGE performace it and I don't see the purpose of it other than making your screen blur when you move the camera.
The first video for this I saw came up as a related video for a performance by "Dragon Sound" who reunited for the re-release of Miami Connection. They have a song on the soundtrack it seems. I want to buy this one even though I have not bought any games for six months.
Prehistoric Dishonoured may just be the best idea I've ever heard. Imagine just how awesome it would be to use the Outsider's powers to stealth-kill a velociraptor.
RIP. Its 2022 and your still missed. (I wish RU-vid would stop making me change my memorial comment every 20-ish videos. When did they implement this new annoyance?)
*also; Listen to what TB says in the video; 'You can clearly see that some of the stuff in this game has been reused). The worls is an almost exact copy of the FC3 world, they changed shaders, made new models for some weapons, added new FX, created a new model for the character and some enemies, retextured some stuff and changed SOME animations and bug test the changes. This can all be done in less than 3 months, especially in a huge studio with 20+ people working on it.
Nerdcubed suggested something like that in one of his JC2 Challenge videos. It would be SUPER awesome to be able to grapple and fly around a big city like Coruscant (the city planet from Star Wars).
Also just realised the shotgun is based off of Arnies Smith & Wesson shotgun and called the Galleria 91 (The place & year that John Connor was at when the Terminator caught up with him in T2)
I can run this on intel graphics at 30-40 fps with low settings, which look (mostly) fine on a small screen. Performance may be bad at high settings, but it scales well.
I suggest you look it up, because some of us did during the March -> April month change to see how badass the april fools would get this year. And on April the first this year Ubisoft uploaded a small teaser trailer with an 80s theme (Blood Dragon). However, shortly after they said that it was a all made for april fools - but the demand was so high so they decided to make it an actual game. And about the bug test and dev stuff; This is a re-vamped FC3 game, not a completely new game. Sigh..
My boyfriend isn't super huge FPS guy, but he is just a smidgen outside the demographic; him being more of a late 90s kid, but he loves this so much. Hell, I'm even younger than him, further outside the demographic, and I think it's absolutely brilliant. It's really great.
Its called the Galleria 1991, the shotgun is the one used by Arnie in T2, which he first uses at the Galleria, and the movie was released in 1991, there are a lot of terminator references in this game
Later in the game you go into a cave that has plenty of those eggs in them and burn them down. Then you go over to an elevator that takes a lot of time to come down, while one of the dragons attacks and Rex says that it seems oddly familiar. Yes, it's an Alien reference.
In that case, I highly recommend you go back and watch some of the greatest movies from that era. Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Predator, Alien, Back to the Future, the list goes on. You'll get a lot more references in this game if you do. In fact, go watch those movies anyway. Because they are amazing.
