Dark Watch was one of my favourite games back in the day, and I was thinking of the relevance just before you mentioned it. Good to see I'm not the only one.
This is like one of those action games you would see on the shelf for renting as a kid, games like: “DEATH DULE” or, “LAST BATTLE”. I’ve put 4 hours into Evil West and I’ve been having a blast lol
Love GmanLives but I couldn't disagree more on this game. It's not an overly ambitious or smart game but it's the most fun I've had this year in a game.
@@13Gangland I put a hundred hours in Elden Ring but it doesn't let me DBZ instant transmission over to an undead gunslinger and juggle him in the air with a steampunk Tesla revolver.
@3:55 I don't get what you don't understand here or why it justified the joke. A guy and a girl are doing lots of illegal buisinesses and have claimed a lot of assets. And the government wants to have that stuff for themselfes since it is "Pretty important" Like seriously, what don't you understand about the line in the cutscenes?
Its honestly annoying when a complaint is a character talking to themselves. Like really? Youve never talked to yourself while either completing some task or out of frustration?
It reminds me of an iconic 80s and 90s action movie. The plot is serviceable, the characters are grizzled and tough, the aesthetics are on point, and the violence is gratuitous and plentiful.
He gman doesn't like a game he will do everything in his power to make and show "flaws" . Prime examples from this video: game doesn't have a reload button is bad. And reclassifying normal enemies as bosses so you can say they are bad. Dude spends 3 minutes straight talking about how bad the "bosses" except he is showing and referring to mis-tier enemies. These enemies don't have boss health bars and will spawn together, the devs do not consider these bosses. I know this because the things they do considered bosses have a boss health bar....
Fantastic review. I honestly still kinda want to play the game but when it gets a big discount. These days we all have to think twice before buying these expensive games.
dont let some random guy's opinion let you decide what to play. if the game looks fun then buy it. im sure there are plenty of games that you love that he cant stand.
@@user-od8yh8xs9u yeah but also I rather just wait until the game has a discount. I can't just simply waste between $66 and $78 for a new released game. It has to have some good value after spending this much. This game looks like a $50 max to me (unless they actually add some other modes for coop or survival mode with coop)
@@user-od8yh8xs9u this comes from someone that thinks $60 isnt a significant investment. Just return it? What if your only console is a PlayStation. This is disgustingly classiest, and you should be ashamed.
@@enjoshi-godrez8775 I should be ashamed to save money? I rather waste the same amount of money on discounted games and wait for this games discount cause like i said I don't want to waste this money on a game not worth of that price. Ashamed, lol
Common GMan L. Literally one of my favorite games ever made. It came out only a few months ago and I've already played it all the way through five times.
Vanquish I'd say isn't revolutionary, and its a game I like. Simply put its a game that never reached its full potential, movement while fast and has more options than typical Gears of War like games. It's very limited in terms of Ariel maneuvers, the most you can do is a dive kick into an enemy and cover for a bit of shooting mid air. even on foot theres a sheer disconect between the environment and you options, where cover can slow you down (like trying to hop over) and is full of invisable walls. Or animations to do something as simple as climbing a ladder, or jump down a ladder. It's not a simple animation but, more of an Re4 style prompt to climb it. Not a good thing to have movement and combat stop for as simple as a ladder in a movement action game. The melee system is stupidly limiting and handicaps you more than actively helps. Why do a punch when it takes away all your energy for movement? The enemy themselves aren't that interesting or varied, just robot designs that I can't remember besides their color. The levels themselves are very forgetable and basic as well, shooting on a small cargo train thingy, escorting a truck of soldiers, very, very slowly in a dark tunnel... I could go on, again, I love Vanquish, but it has so much missed potential and a lot of flaws. I really wish we got a sequal. Its an okay game with solid combat thats just not as flushed out as it could be. Its not revolutionary, it did nothing new besides add slide dashing and very raw melee combat to a Gears of War esque shooter, but besides that it is extremely unmemorable and flawed.
Just beat it, it’s a good game, simple and fun. The thing that made me laugh was you still rave about doom which is technically in the same ballpark of which you speak, outdated.
I love ya Gman, but the cutscenes you played had the opposite effect on me. I think I can really get into the dumb campiness they're going for here. I love this type of shit, it looks awesome XD
I find this terrible personally because its not playing to the strengths of their budget. This game suffers massively from having AAA aspirations while it looks and plays like a 10+ year old game.
@@omarcomming722 honestly, it playing like a 10 year old game is a positive in my book. It's been too long since there was a game like this that just wanted to be fucking cool. It feels like how Red Dead Revolver feels in my memory. A lot of people tend to look at it with a far too clinical lense. I see it in the same vein as an 80s or 90s action movie. Grizzled tough guys, cool premise, passable story, and gratuitous violence.
@@angeleaterstudios1004 That's fair and I agree generally, but IMO such games require their gameplay and presentation to be perfect because that's literally all there is to them, kind of like Doom 2016 wouldn't have worked if it wasn't so polished. This game has none of that and is just lacking all around for me, it both looks and plays like a 2010 game in all the bad ways, although it's definitely a subjective feeling.
As much as I enjoy and trust G-Man's word on some of these games, his difficulty to admit that down-time has an actual purpose feels deeply flawed and that's all I'm gonna say about his reviews. EDIT: Seeing how people are missing the point of what I'm trying to say, I think GMan's DIFFICULTY to admit that down-time has a purpose is a sign that he lacks the fundamental understanding of what makes down-time so important in some games. Lots of games do this, not just for story purposes, but to give the player some time to breathe and admire the world around them, if they wish to, or to ponder on previous dialogue.
Uhh, but he explicitly SAYS that down time has purpose to it and is good to have. He just said that this game misuses its downtime to do nothing of importance and to waste your time.
@@GBDupree You didn't read what I said. I said he STRUGGLES to ADMIT that down-time has a purpose. Whether he admits it or not is ultimately irrelevant if by principle he believes that all down-time is boring filler.
@@lonthius3918 Down time is important, the problem is restricting movement, in my view. DMC1 just had you go from point A to point B between fights and it was fine, lots of games nowadays have you move super slowly for some reason.
Damn, that is kinda sad, 'cause videos looked so cool. Still gonna give this game a chance, who knows, after all it's a rare opportunity to play western with vampires. Darkwatch was great, though also kinda repetitive and boring in some places. BTW, are there gonna be reviews for full versions of Prodeus, Cultic and second chapter of Turbo Overkill?
This is a pretty bad review because your supposed to list goods and bad’s about the game while it was only bad’s. This is a critique not a review, a pretty big difference because people come to see an unbiased stance about a games gameplay, graphics, and story. According to this video, this game is the worst game to come out this year and is a 0/10 game
I have to admit, i have never laughed at a video game character model more than this game, he does have a good point jessie looks pretty goofy carrying an entire gun shop on his back
The whole premise of the game is goofy, it's supposed to be goofy. Dude completely missed the point, you can tell when he says "the locations don't even look like a western"...
@@vee1766 Geez Luize. Ofcourse a nut-case Aussie like 3GMan would not understand an TeslaPunk Weird West setting... oh, crap, but he did review that Immersive Occult West Weird WEST game some time ago. I guess he is just suffering from dementia at his old age.
I think I'll still buy this. I've grown tired of so many games taking itself so seriously. Every AAA game from Sony, Ubi, and many others has all this hand holding, forced exposition from characters, melodramatic cutscenes, goofy ranking systems where you can't kill lowly enemies because of a number hovering above their head, can't explore, can't figure stuff out on your own, etc. Many times I just want to shoot at shit, hear some cheesy dialogue, and be done in a few days. I've had more fun with these AA type games the past few years than I do most AAA games. Even though critically, the AAA are better in most ways. But they are so manufactured and purpose built for awards and mass sales that I can't stomach them anymore.
Not to mention, these AA games are just more creative. Like Steelrising or Biomutant or The Chant. Sure, they have lower production values, but these are games that AAA devs are too afraid of making and that’s exactly what we need more of these days instead of remake after reboot after 9th sequel in the franchise.
Wait, Shadow Warrior 3 is one of your favorites of this year? You haven't played it since release, did you? They totally ruined the game with all the updates, by making the shotgun useless for example. Seriously, the shotgun now has about the same range as the sword but less damage.
1:35 main difference between Darkwatch and Evil West is that in Darkwatch you have good looking female characters like Cassidy and Tala.....Tala is so good
Soo, At 1:57 you say the story goes "Off the rails, And downright confusing to follow" but at 3:05 admit to skipping the cut scenes, That's some weird logic bro.
The game is sh*t though. Maybe standards are so low some people think it's playable in 2024 but I tried this via gamepass & it's literally just "small corridor, climb past obstacle, arena combat, cutscene" rinse repeat. It's also bogged down by excessively pointless upgrades & difficulty which is determined by throwing more & more enemies at the player (like it's Doom with clunky controls).
I don't pay attention to any youtubers that make videos complaining about videos games. I only came here to leave this comment, which I did during the add for the beginning of the video
One of the new marketing strategies is paying reviewers to create good and bad reviews about the product in order to create a discussion about the product. The discussion gets consumers invested in the product, potentially increasing the chances of consumers buying the product to try it for themselves in order to create their own opinions about the product.
I hate to say it, but this is easily your most irritating review ever. I don't know if you expected a game with the open worldiness and/or pacing and antics of a Last of us or God of War 2018 but it somehow seems so. Catch is, both are games Evil West never wanted to be or even rival. This is a blast from the past in the taste of the first Gears of War or Vanquish or Bulletstorm: silly, testosterone filled, going straight ahead with corridor level design (which is nothing bad I should remind you) and a campiness Ash would draw his hat for (or his chainsaw). It is specifically made for people who want to embrace such a blast from the past and who want nothing more than to play a game without all the modern gaas and gacha bs crammed into. People like me. And when I take a look at the comment sections of most reviews I don't seem to be alone with this. Oh well, at least your review of Evil West gets me very curious for your inevitable review of Calisto Protocol, because that obviously is going to hit the same note (albeit with better graphics and sound design). And that's also something.
Dont listen to this guy . If good old single player action games are your thing , go for retro games . There are many underrated games to love about. And Evil west still objectively sucks .
@@Snyperwolf91 Didn't know a retro type of game could not exist in this day and age among other, more modern type of gaming experiences... And claiming that it sucks is quite subjective - maybe you are not the target here. But will probably be a great gaming experience for many others.
@@bluwolf9357 And the game still quality-wise sucks with its nostalgicly bad graphics out of the xbox360 while the gameplay could be much better if it doesnt slog so hard because of HP-bloated enemies , unnecessary walking segments as shimming through cracks / slopes /cliffs without any danger whatsoever , braindead puzzles that no one asked for , linear level-design that isnt opened up again ( doesnt need to be open world , atleast having open levels like in Duke 3D or in Unreal with real secrets in them ) , wave based arena-combat because making good enemy placings in videogames is seemingly WAY TOO HARD for the devs to do and an Level up system that wasnt really needed in this game. I mean if you have fun with the game then its fine because this isnt about taste that i speak off. Having fun isnt the problem but saying "dont listen to this guy" and having not any good argument whatsoever that underlines your claims is not only open for critic but total BS too.
It's just out on GamePass and it's not flashy, its not fancy, but it is fun. The combat can be a little wonky, i think the reliance on thr trigger buttons is awkward, but overall its a solid and fun linear story action game.
Funny, you and skillup normally share the same opinions on games but this time you are like yin and yang 🤪 I’ll wait for a sale, if you two don’t share the same opinion on a game the secure bet is to wait for a sale 🤪
I pre ordered this game and haven't looked back this game is AWSOME It's a refreshing step in the game industry. Its fun and satisfying and a great step away from AAA bumpkus
Literally the first thing I said when I saw the trailer for this was "This reminds me of Darkwatch." Glad to hear even the first level pays homage to that similarity
I enjoyed this game a lot, I am very sick of sandbox sidequest fetch in most video games. I truly appreciate a return to form factor because I don't want to play some games for hrs upon hrs doing boring quests. Being able to do sick combos and shoot shit with a ok story sometimes works better with the gameplay compared to a good story and boring gameplay. I don't get how the gameplay is bland, you can combo juggle in many different ways and you have parries and moves that hit enemies out of their frame animations. This is prob one the few reviews from you that I wondered we played the same game? I played this solo on the hardest difficulty and I was having fun switching up i dealt with specific vampires with my electric fist punch or the electric grab.
Currently waiting for this game to install. Despite the negative review, I read the comments, which mostly agree that it's actually a good game. Plus it just looks so cool. Can't wait to play it, and I'll edit this comment with my review once I finish it.
This is why knowing a critic's tastes is so important. I loved borderlands 2 and shadow warrior 2, and Gmanlives hated them. This is by the same people that made Shadow Warrior 2, and if he hates this game too, I now know that I will probably like it.
For some reason this reminded me of when Alyx mentions Gordon doesn’t talk much. Until she says it, I actually forgot he doesn’t talk. I was engrossed.
Man idk the gameplay looks great and it seems like everything it was advertised as. The outdated critique just doesn't make much sense to me because it seems to intentionally lean into the 360 era of games where it's just a linear action game with a dozen or so levels to tear through and feel like a badass. Seems like a well executed B-movie, sure it's not gonna win awards, but damn it looks fun.
Wasn't the Order 1886 something similar? Steampunk team of agents battle against supernatural beings...but it turned out you mostly just fight other humans for "factions rebels evil human terrorist blagh" and stuff? The hype, the payoff wasn't worth it, now we got the same thing happening here.
Damn, it is a dated game... Which means no microtransactions, marketplace and such bs? This is a good thing! Mindless fun! Yay! Especially the theme is something to be noticed. Wont get that from a "modern" title I would assume : D
Everything tracked except the coop mode criticism. That is all ANY coop gamer wants, just let me play with my fuckin friends, i dont care about the details. Give me a 2nd spawn point for my friend, and anything above that is just icing on the cake.
Paranormal Wild West is a genre we need to see more of. There just isn't enough six shooting, lever action rifle slinging horror and paranormal properties out there
@@mohammadashikurrahman7530 Yeah, what about it? 10 hours of mindless fun is better then 10000 hours of droning cock-ass farming and grinding? Also it is different person per person basis? Also, like 60 USD is not that much for not a poor person?
I forgot where I heard this before but this game just isn’t afraid to be a video game. Too many games are trying so hard to be hyper realistic but I don’t play games to be hand held through a story that could have been told through a movie. I want my games to get batsh*t crazy sometimes. I don’t think that makes this dated, that makes it not afraid to go nuts
Indeed. It is a game yet tells a story. Nothing fancy, it can be cheesy, but it's a game to have fun with. It's not trying to be a cinematic marvel or rival AAAs. I'd say Gungrave GORE is a lesser version of this, but that too is most definitely a throwback. It plays almost like the PS2 game lol
Eh, I wasn't expecting some groundbreaking award winning game. From all the gameplay I've seen it just looks like a throwback to old school third person action games from the Xbox 360 era which is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Seriously, it's as if someone combined Van Helsing with the Wild West and this is the result. I'm in.
I agree...this reviewer seems way off and it seems like a lot of the reviews I've seen have been giving it solid reviews saying that gameplay is really fun and diverse...like the complete opposite of what this dude says... definitely getting it and playing it for myself....
@@raoulthompson preach I literally have a ps3 with me so having the idea of a game that is meant to be a throwback to that generation of AA games is a mute selling point
No bugs, no game breaking glitches, no animation issues, no pop ins, it has literally none of the problems a AAA title normally has, no day one patch, nothing fundamentally wrong with it but it simply didn’t meet expectations I’ll take crappier visuals if it means the game is complete and play tested, atleast this company isn’t treating me like my money SHOULD be theirs
The RE4 remake is an AAA title and in the 25-30 i spent playing it i encountered 0 bugs and 0 texture pop in, the game was still fun and knew when to spend some time away from the typical gameplay loop to keep it interesting, and you know what? It had 0 bosses that you had to fight twice. I understand that the mid to late 2000's is a nostalgic era for you, but try not to let your rose tinted glasses convince you that those kinds of games are objectively better rather than subjectively.
@@ThePeacemakerDudeplayed through the entire game multiple times and experienced 0 bugs. You must be playing on the over rated shitty PC platform. Console kings don't experience those problems nearly as much as PC peasants. Please stop being a silly JACKO. Thanks my 👑!
@@rich8642I’ve never played one of those mid 2000 era video games, and I still managed to have a lot of fun. Not everything needs to be RE4. And not every AAA game is the RE4 remake. Most games have a lot of problems in the AAA industry
After watching the skill-up review I was so surprised to see this. It’s kinda crazy how two reviewers you trust can come to extremely different conclusions and it’s a cool insight into how subjective reviewing really is. I still really liked your review and I’m still eager to check the game out regardless.
Shill Up consistently ignores the failings of modern Western game design philosophy. He thinks the newest God of War games are fun when you spend more time walking, and combat is extremely janky due to excessive use of move assist.
@@josephsilo187 have to disagree, but i totally get where youre coming from with the movement. Overall i love the feeling of GoW combat but in Ragnarok theres been a few times where the combat movement has felt clunky, I have never been able to put my finger on it fully but maybe it is the move assist you speak of.
I also feel like gman just doesnt care for these kinds of games, he was probably expecting a gears of war style cover shooter with occassional melee combat instead of the character action game with some shooting in it the game actually is.
I love both of their channels too, but ultimately at a certain point even people who tend to have similar tastes and agree on things often enough are still going to find something that splits them I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy this game, however I'm seeing enough from some people that I like to listen to that lets me know this isn't some day one by but something that I can wait until it's on sale to get around to trying
The devs of *Hunt: Showdown* REALLY ought to to expand that franchise and it's lore with single player games. It gets everything right about a "Weird Western" or "Dark Fantasy Western."
@@Dexusaz still chaps my ass that the original concept was a 4 player coop game. I ain’t shittin on Battle Royales but damn I love coop games and Hunt: Gilded Age seemed right up my alley. But nah we got Showdown instead
@@Jhoffa22_ on the opposite end of the spectrum, Jarek loves the game. First two reviews I've seen are polar opposites lmao My biggest issue I can see from the reviews is that whole "obvious environmental commentary" thing. That annoys me a lot.
@@AscendantStoic Blood West is far more my style. Much more atmospheric, and is an FPS (almost open world Imm-Sim style). I have Hard West and Weird West is more CRPG, which I'm not always in the mood for What I also want is for Hunter the Reckoning to make a comeback. We have too much Vampire the Masquerade representation for World of Darkness.
Absolutely loved this game. So much fun, not even remotely overcomplicated. Yeah, it's very much story light, or just not deep at all, but it was enough to keep it interesting, along with the gameplay. Evil West brings me back to a time where games were just fun. They didn't have to innovate, restructure and revolutionize, they just had to be fun is all. Loves your video, always love your videos and, more often than not, I am on the same page as you, but not here. Maybe it will be one of those you revisit down the road.
Sometimes I just want a gane that throws u n2 the action. I been playing the PS3 joints lately. WET, Shadows of The Damned, Stranglehold,TimeShift, Prototype 2,Singularity, Dead To Rights Retribution etc
This plays exactly like I would expect a late PS2/early PS3 title to play and it's glorious. I'd take more games like this over 95% of the dreck produced today any day of the week
The problem is it plays like those games but doesn't add anything new. If I wanted to play old game if play old games. The biggest problem with this game is that it's 5 hours extra long. If they cut the game in half it'd be actually bearable to play but after like 2 missions all the combat sequences are the same to the end of the game
"bloat" is an overused critical term, and accusing a 10 hour game like Evil West of it seems a bit absurd. the only game that i would say is legitimately bloated is AC Odyssey - i typically find most other games accused of bloat (Witcher 3, Mafia 3, Alien Isolation, Mad Max, etc) to be fine as long as i play them intermittently. one has to wonder if reviewers complain about bloat not because a game is actually too long, but rather because they play the whole thing in a handful of very long sessions to meet arbitrary embargo deadlines.
i think bloat is referring to the lack of gameplay lol, bunch of handheld cliff walking & long, frequent cut scenes. Not too difficult to see how someone would say adding those things to an already small game is adding bloat.
I watched your review and I watched Skill Up's. The weirdest thing is that I want to buy it because of your review because the way you mentioned the problems and the experience you had in the game were clear, concise and with no frills added. I know what to expect now when I get and play the game. Thanks for the simple yet proper coverage of the combat system. I appreciate it. It's dated but I like it a lot.
are you sure it wasnt skill up's "life is like a boat" monologue about something completely unrelated that makes no sense and is just spilt to make it sound artsy fartsy?
This game is great fun, I found mechanics such as the cooldowns really encouraged you to strategize and mix-up tactics, plus you could use perks and skills to improve the parts of your kit you favored. Your comments on the story felt a bit off base. It may be light and loaded with one-liners, but it's not confusing or weighed down in politics, everything moves at a brisk pace... It's not like the "Sony walking simulator" (which hey, I actually like them) because you're never too far out from an action set piece. Overall I found it enjoyable in an old school way.
@@henriklarssen1331 You do realize people have eyes....and can see the gameplay for themselves and decide whether it's good or bad in their own opinion right?
@@dripfoe_3307 ssme things are subjective and others are objective. I dont know how you can twist this games gameplay, hardcore handholding, enemy wave system, boring level design, i cant imagine playing this even for free. I look at a Game like Remant From the Ashes, which is very similar but overall just better and nearly every aspect.
@@henriklarssen1331 Yeah... you don't know what you're talking about lol. Remnant from the Ashes is a 3rd person shooter rpg with a similar gameplay to dark souls, it's literally been dubbed Dark Souls with guns. Evil West is a linear beat'em up/hackNslash, with contextual platforming, much like Gow2018.....these games aren't even in the same ball park. You clearly don't understand the game and don't like it, and that's fine.
How are gonna complain that the story was too detailed and complicated that you couldn’t understand it and then turn around and admit that you skipped dialogue frequently. Sounds like you were rushing to get a review out
I understand the points made competently but I really hope they improve on this in updates or a sequel (assuming it gets enough attention to warrant one)
Honestly, seeing how positive the user reviews are, as well as how well it's sold, I could absolutely see this game getting an expansive sequel. Potentially even an open world, especially with how well each location was designed from an aesthetic perspective. I have high hopes for this IP.
I'm seen positive review for this as well, so I'm still gonna buy it. I agree with a lot of Gman reviews, but there are also ones that he didn't like, that I loved.
@@funkymonkey7913 Ye, maybe he has a love hate relationship with that studio cause he is missing it with the reviews regarding their games. This one is a 6/10 but overpriced. Shadow warrior 2 and 3 were like 3/10 at best
This easily harkens back to the ps3/360 era and I'm for it not all game have to be this cinematic open world with excessive rpg elements, this is just a straightforward game I appreciate it for that
You and SkillUp seem to be clashing a lot more with your reviews recently and I love that. I adore getting to see two critical opinions they I can use to gauge how I might feel about it myself ^^
@@yeetus_the_feetus4858 Only time I remember gman mentioning him was in the comments of his BMP video where gman responded to someone who mentioned skill up loved the game whilst he didn't enjoy it at all. Having played the game myself I am pretty much fully in agreement with gmans take on that game.
I wish it leaned more on being a western, the levels set in environments that are more stereotypically western and during daytime look quite nice, but the rest are really that generic "fighting zombie likes" dark visual sludge.
I've played through a considerable amount of the game (haven't beat it yet) but every single level in this game looks completely unique. Like, I can confidently say that you could glance at a random screenshot from the game and know exactly what level it is because of how different the aesthetic for each is. The desert town is distinctly different from the underground upside down pyramid, and that itself is different from the turquoise swamps, or the frozen mining facility, or the apocalyptic looking oil field.
G doesn't get it wrong too often but this was a big ole swing and a miss. This game is so much fun. As a fan that grew up on games like this, it was really refreshing. Id say a solid 8.25 / 10.
@@branberrycakesabsolutely..it was clearly made and marketed as a AA game . Thankfully it sold pretty decent and reviewed well by critics and audiences so hopefully we get a sequel
Man, you are objectively wrong about this one. It's not trying to be anything more than a video game. Not sure what YOU were expecting but I think whatever it is heavily influenced your opinion. Also play this game on HARD.
Fun fact forensic accounting or accounting forensics (don't know what the official title is) is a real thing. Long story short it's essentially just tryna figure out where the money went when it's "lost". Unlike regular accounting when you've already been tracking it from the get go.
It's called a hack n slash game its a genre of game It's not copying God of War ITS JUST IN THE SAME GENRE. I personally don't see the hate I'm loving this game I'm playing through on hard and it's a beautiful sweaty paradise of great game design.
@@r3dsnow757 I found their videos are more "you may or may not like this game depending on how you feel about the genre. This game has this feature and that mechanic" I feel like those videos only hold value if you've never seen nor heard of the game to begin with, even so I'd say you could be better informed for 8-12 minutes elsewhere. But that's me, not a fan of gameranx
@@purebaldness Gameranx is good for a casual gamer that never really heard of the game. I like them but I never go into their reviews expecting them to go as in depth as an ACG, Skillup, or GMAN. Before you buys aren't reviews and the Gameranx team makes sure to mention that every time. They're the epitome of comfort food videos imo
@@Patricswift Yeah, I understand that. As I say, they're good if you're uninformed and as you say, have a casual interest. I wouldn't expect their brief summary style videos to be throwing strong opinions around but as someone who's a bit more invested in gaming, I recognise their stuff isn't for me. I'd like to think that this was somewhat conveyed in my original comment but perhaps not. I totally understand the comfort videos thing, something to zone out on whilst you procrastinate, but gameranx just aint it for me.
It's actually quite a lot like DMC, but mixed with GOW and Doom. There's no weapon wheel. Everything is designed to absolutely wombo combo a vampire. The difference is that unlike combos being a pivotal mechanic, it's a natural thing you develop to do as much damage as possible, with incentive being to lose as little health as possible. So you have to be fast, if you stop moving you'll get obliterated, you hit like a bus, and it's cathartic to juggle people.
