Sniper Elite 4 - Worthabuy? 

Mack, you don't know what you're talking about. When I was in the army, we underwent specialist training where we learned to remove our soul from our bodies so that we could see and control our bodies in the tactical third person view. We were trained to hone into the force so that we could detect the exact location of the enemy, regardless of whether there were any tedious walls in the way. Of course, the enemy were trained in telepathy as well... but their training was so vigorous and coarse that it fried their brains leaving them stupid, and almost blind.

Mack I swear you are the only RU-vidr that isn't full of shit.

HE IS THERE HE IS THERE HE IS THERE

My View on all things said: Instead of looking at this and thinking aw it can still be fun, how about saying NO! Just for a fucking change, how about we as gamers demand MORE! How about we have NO wall hacks? Think about it, we only see what we can see, no tagging at all. Have an option that when you scope in on an enemy you can choose to have range on or off to calculate bullet drop. How about the Ai have different personalities, some are cautious, some wreckless, some flank but they all work together. (Half life2) How about when you jump in a bush if any bit of you is visible the Ai can also see it (Operation flashpoint) How about the enemy can see you if you can see them (Half life) How about you have to find their snipers with sound (Hidden and dangerous) How about you have to be quiet and move through the map slowly looking for traps and enemy soldiers (Hidden and dangerous, BF Vietman). How about your health does not regenerate and ever enemy that you search does not have a supply of ammo, mines, first aid etc How about we don't have rubber bloody grenades :) Guys we need to stop accepting this kind of tripe as acceptable for a £40 we really do and shame on any reviewer that did not rip this garbage apart, you are a disgrace to gaming!

I cannot see why games are implementing what USED to be cheating. Soon games will have aimbots.

I remember playing first splinter cell games, where you had to shoot little sticky camera to see what's behind the wall. No minimap, no tagging, no glowing objects. Those were the days.

When you "read the words" and start laughing, I always know a GREAT review is at hand LOL

"that's nice Jonny what is it?" "it's your fanny Miss"

Veteran mode turns off tags. Estimating range can be done by measuring the size of an enemy relative to the scope lines. After assaulting your last position enemies begin searching.

You do realize Authentic & Authentic plus modes exist and remove all hud & xray vision.. granted it also removes objective markers which is overkill IMO. but still almost all of your complaints are gone if you just challenge yourself more & play on that mode

The sad part is: If Half Life 3 ever comes out, its most likely gonna have some tactical x ray vision in it too. Welcome to 2017 :(

I don't understand how anyone could call this type of gameplay immersive. Its not. Gaming is so close to being dead now.. no innovation, no creativity anymore, no attempt at immersion. Just make it easy so everyone can win and appeal to the widest audience possible. Everything as casual as can be. Also just put the minimum amount of content in so its just passable so it can get up for sale as quickly and cheaply as possible. Always maximize any potential profits. Don't innovate. Simplify everything. Rush it out. I'm with you Mack, this is getting painful to watch now.

Mack, 90% of the stuff u complained about in this vid is disabled one difficulty level above. I am having tons of fun with this game

I remember when I used to celebrate when I finally beat a game, either on normal for the first time or after finally beating it on the hardest difficulty. Now its like impossible to lose in a game. Love you Mack!

"He is there, HE is there, HE IS there, HE IS There, HE IS THere, HE IS THERE." - Mack 2017

It really is sad to see what gaming has become

"playing games, doesn't make you a gamer" - Mack 2017

Authentic is the way this is meant to be played.Not on hard.

Mac is like the opposite of IGN, instead of calling lots of garbage games good, he calls good games garbage.

we get sniper elite 3 and 4, but no halflife 3 or 4

Hidden and Dangerous 1 was so hardcore, as a kid i didnt even finish the first mission where you have to advance across the foggy bridge to the warehouses. I loved the fact even as a kid it was hard.

It's funny, the negative points Mack makes on big games usually come out on the big sites about 3 months AFTER release as an article titled what "such and such" game could have done better etc. I'd rather hear it upon release as it has saved me a shit load of cash. Thanks Mack, keep up the good work. 🖒

Fuck x ray. Why does every game need it :(

Mac goddammit - try playing it on hardcore, and u get all the fun and challenging gameplay u want. I enjoy the game quite a lot.

the ding and the repeated ''he is there, he is there'' just had me rolling on the fucking floor LMAOOO

So basically, the only problem he had with the game is that he didn't set the game difficulty to elite...

Why didn't you activate the x-ray kill cam?

I played on authentic where it doesn't let you use the tagging feature, no magical red marker telling you where your bullet will land and whatnot, you said it yourself Mac, the difficulty settings are customisable.

Try realism mode?

Damn bouncing grenades, man.

Is there any way that you can just turn the wall hacks off in the options menu?

“It’s your fanny Miss”. I lost it.

Why do you not mention that 99% of the complaints that you have can be fixed in the "custom difficutly" options?

You know when I was a little kid 15-20 years ago I always thought how amazing games in the future where going to be. Not just graphics but I always wondered about the amazing mechanics games would incorporate into their games. Taking advantage of the technology to let you control even the most minute of things. What have I seen since then? Leaning all but gone in shooters. Xray vision instead of advanced audio cues. Auto reloading. Aim assist. Jesus radar. Stand and shoot till killed AI. Regenerating health. All the cool, complex, and interesting mechanics from my childish daydreams turned out, disappointingly, to be just that. Daydreams from a child. Out of all the games that I have played. The only game that ever came close to my dumb hopes (for shooters) is Arma 3. So kuddos to that dev team.

I played the first mission, it was so big that I spent 1 hour+ then I tried coop and my game time reach 2 hours. I haven't try MP however I already get bored with the campaign. Honestly I'm a big fan of stealth game, Splinter Cell & Hitman is among then goes the AC series and other games. My thoughts, giving all weapon from start already kill the fun to progress even further. The cutscenes and mission briefing is also very shallow. I would like to know how is the MP performs? Will it be as repetitive as the campaign? Find good spot, aim and shoot? Will there be any servers and a lobby? Would you recommend me for someone from Southeast Asia to play the MP?

Is this game a buy at a price of $18 for the Digital Deluxe Edition for sale today on Humble?

Could we get a rust revisit?

I was gonna buy it. But wall hacks takes away the tension. And I Iike tension. Nothing better than going into enemy territory and walking round a corner only to shit your pants cos you _didn't_ know there was an enemy there. Cheers for the upload sir. I've saved money and more importantly, frustration. Can't stand wall hacks and marking enemies. It's utter bullsquirt and just makes the games for me uneventful

Hey Mac, just curious, how come you turned off the x ray kills?

Mack, is Shadow Tactics on the list of doing a worth a buy video about?

So... How 'bout that Mass Effect guys? I'm excited.

Most of your complaints are against features which can be disabled with custom difficulty... Try playing in Authentic mode if you don't like all the easy features.. If that's not a challenge then stop whinging and go play something else. In authentic mode you have to take wind speed, distance as well as environmental conditions into account.. you can't see where the enemies are as there's no mini map, the AI's foibles aren't as apparant when you can't see them through the wall, even with silencers or the Carbine the enemy will still see you if you are visible and they find a body and see which way they are lying. So yeah if you're complaining about easy mode then DON'T PLAY IN EASY MODE, which all of the difficulty settings other than Custom and Authentic are. Let's see how you NEVER DIE when you don't have a health bar, this review is bad because the reviewer didn't actually play the challenging Authentic mode (which the EASY, MEDIUM and HARD settings are essentially training for!) what an utter berk.

I didn't manage to see your tactical settings in the difficulty menu, Which I'm pretty sure allows you to turn off X-Ray vision and the last know position ghost and the minimap.

Good on ya mack, unfortunately mine is already in the post so will order a labotomy before taking it for a spin... Could it be redeemed slightly if all the BS stuff could be turned off?

Can you revisit hitman?

I don't think the xray vision is there on "authentic" mode. All of the other HUD features are gone. It's pretty challenging on Authentic. Idk if you tried Authentic but it's much different.

Mac I've been watching you for a while, I'm curious what you think of the game STARTS CITIZEN 2.6.1! Should I spend the money and buy it? If so, can I do entry level or should I start buying a little more?

what was the game that mack was suggesting, that sniper game?

lol very nice editing at the end, love your channel mack #makegamesgreatagain

Is it that in 2020 video games will play themselves whilst people watch and they'll go "Great game, I'm really good at this"

Anyone know if Mack has done any reviews of Kerbal? I think that would be a hilarious review :)

i agree the xray is bullshit..but did you try turning it off.or playing on authentic plus,??????

DON'T GIVE UP MACK, YOU'RE NOT ALONE! :p

I'm 36 years old been around since damn near the beginning. I have probably bought 6 or 7 games in the past year out of all the crap. I totally agree games have gone to shit . I understand developer's take a financial risk when making a game but playing it safe and trying to please everyone only works for so long. keep it up mack

I can imagine Mack being a judge on America's Got Talent lol

what's the best sniping game you've played?

I like your reviews, don't get me wrong, but sometimes it feels like you aren't trying. I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I only got the game on sale recently. I agree with you. The AI is pretty fucking bad, the mini-map doesn't really make the gameplay any harder and the x-ray vision also limits the difficulty of the game. I noticed how tremendously easy it was in the first mission already, so I went into the menu and changed a couple of things. I turned off the mini-map, stopped tagging, got rid of the sniping dot etcetera etcetera and thus creating a way more difficult experience for myself. It's reasonable to complain about x-ray vision, but then don't use it! Dislike the mini-map? Don't use it. I understand that you want challenge and it's perfectly reasonable to want it, because so do I. But it feels like you're so caught up in this mindset of games are becoming easy that it feels like you're not even trying to make them harder for yourself.

Love your content Mac but if you continue to play the games in noob mode your gonna be disappointed, play this on the hardest difficulty and its a phenomenal experience and a totally different game. Im a realism nerd in everything from shooters to racing sims and everything in between, i eventually got round to playing this and its excellent in the hardest mode. Its a like a new game.

mack, will you review for honor?

I felt sure that there was a Sniper Elite 3 worth a buy video that got a thumbs up but can't find it anywhere. Did I imagine this or has it been removed?

Funny review, sadly it’s also lazy bollocks because of the failure to explore difficulty options that would have satisfied many of the complaints. Hardcore gamer my arse.

So... A dumb down sniper stealth game?

Mack, have you played the first two bioshock games? If so, what did you think of them? I personally love them.

Let’s call a spade a spade , it’s a wallhack. DING! Lmao love it

I'm so sick of wallhack being a standard feature. Immersion? Nien Danke!

You shit on every game lately. Are there any current shooters that you do like?

Does anyone know the comparison between the AI of Sniper Elite 4 and previous games of the series? I haven't played Sniper elite 4 yet, but I have played Sniper Elite V2. And the AI in Sniper Elite V2 was very observant. They would see me from super far away and hear my footsteps so easily, and it seemed to take forever to kill them after they spotted me and swarm around, running all around from cover to cover. And this was all on normal difficulty. It's hard to believe they would dumb down the AI so significantly for Sniper Elite 4.

Will you review For honor?

wow, whoever came with the idea of the white ghosts seen through walls, it´s just... wow and I loled a lot with your video, as with most of them. well done, thanks

XRAY VISION TRIGGERD

are you gonna do for honor? Don't remember if you said you would or not in the beta video

You could play it on Authentic or Authentic plus (i.e. the difficulty level above hard) so as to have alot less to complain about.

Revist 7 Days to Day, Rainbow Six Seige and Rust please

***THIS IS NOT A GOOD REVIEW*** He just complains about how easy it is, but he didn't turn up the difficulty. Almost everything he's complaining about gets fixed, the training wheels get taken off. He's upset that it's called Hard, but it's really the second of the four difficulties, all of which are easily seen when choosing. It's like being mad that Starbucks calls its smallest size Grande. I just don't know how you get off calling something too easy without turning up the difficulty. Look up Authentic and Authentic Plus gameplay if you watch this and are on the fence because Mac can't figure out the Options menu

I can only assume the authentic plus difficulty didnt exist when he released this review, it literally removed/improved drastically all the things he bitched about.

Mack have you revisited 7DTD with the new quests system?

I bought Sniper Elite 2 on a sale for a price of a packet of crisps. Should've got the crisps. Vile game.

I can't tell the difference between this, Mafia 3 and MGS5. they could all be the same fucking game and i wouldn't know and it wouldn't matter either they all suck.

Have you tried playing it on the hardest difficulty?

MAC, pleae reply have u played project IGI? I used to play it when I was little and that's the kind of games I think u like. Games which give u a challenge and scare u a little if ur no on ur guard. but yeah

I'd say 6/10 games released these days are bad. That's sad.

Mack you are worng. Games are not going backwards, if that was the case we would have more like half life or other classics

Whats your opinion on world of tanks?

as always , a good review ! a real one , btw , what is this background music , it's not included in your background music video !

the AI in Hal Life will also climb up the ladder 1 by 1 to their deaths.

Graphics and interface looks like UC4

have you tried verdun?

hey mack can you talk about hidden and dangerous? I remember buying that years ago and i was really hard

You have to play it on authentic mode! After you do all other modes are easy and you feel like your cheating lol

A lot of shooters nowadays have the same shit anymore.

Play it on hardcore authentic, it’s ruthless. No tagging, no X-ray, scraping around for ammo, hellish AI...not even objective markers

will you review Nioh Mack?

Firstly this is not a AAA game, it’s a AA game. I love Macks reviews, but on this one I have to disagree. I think this is a great little game. There’s a real variety of options in this game, stealth, sniping, shooting, traps etc, which can be combined to excellent effect, it also has some fantastic large open sandbox levels. Also I have to say a word on the AI. I’ve played a lot of games, especially stealth games over the years, and I have to say the AI is impressive in this game. The AI has a real variety of behaviours, the AI actually work together, they flank you, suppress you whilst others move forward. They can actually see quite far, but yes their cone of vision is slightly narrow. They notice dead bodies, they call for help, they notice when one of their comrades is missing, and will search for them, sometimes even alerting others. The dead bodies also stay, and don’t disappear like most games! Yes there are like every game ‘rules’ to the stealth, and the AI works within those parameters. The players visibility decreases when in dark areas, and such. Yes the enemy zero in on you last known position. When in bushes, if you remain still the AI can’t see you. That’s a rule the devs went with. Granted I don’t think this is visually communicated very well to the players, like Mack showed in his video and AI walked past him when his head was sticking out of a bush. But a lot of games have these kinds of visual inconsistencies. The AI compared with a lot of stealth games I think is very good. It’s more dynamic than a lot of games - Assassins Creed, Hitman, Splinter Cell. Etc. Granted yeah not as good as Half Life 2. Also another thing that is great in this game, especially for a game on consoles is it has loads of OPTIONS to tailor the game to how you like it. A lot of the options can simply be turned off, turning off a lot of the HUD aids that the game provides such as x-ray vision Mac mentioned. All of that can be turned off. In fact pretty much everything in the game can be turned off if you don’t want it. I do agree with Mac, in some sense that third person games are never going to be ultimately incredibly realistic when compared with first person games. However this game in no way is a travesty, Neither can it be heralded as the poster boy of bad games of this generation. That’s way to harsh. This ain’t COD or another soulless generic pile of gaming poo. A travesty of a game is surely the new Tomb Raider games, no crouch button, linear, scripted bollocks, now that’s a blight on the gaming industry. But this is a good little game folks. Q: What’s your Top 5 games with the best AI? I played H&D 1 and 2..... Loved those games, but what the hell is Mack talking about, the AI was shit! The main difference is that they practically had terminator vision and could see you miles away, and they could kill you in a couple of hits. It was far more deadly. But I’d hardly call that intelligent?

I wonder what drugs game developers use these days? Or it is some strategy to for sure NOT make any decent and fun game anymore. "If it's fun, they'll keep on playing it, and won't buy the next rubbish..."? Sigh! Gimme a remake of COD2, BF2, BF1941 with newest graphics, mod tools and dedicated servers, and I'll jump a whole in the air. (Bet young guys don't even have a clue what a dedicated server is, right?)

BTW Mack, for some of the reviews, I think when they mention X-Ray vision they are referring to the slow mo camera when you can see the X-ray of the bullet going through the enemy.

'Discover unrivaled sniping freedom in the largest and most advanced World War 2 shooter ever built' _testicle shot_ I had a chuckle here, not gonna lie

games are to easy now X RAY VISION 😭

THANK YOU FOR SAYING WHAT HAS TO BE SAIID!

As someone who LOVES hitman 3. Is this worth it at 85% off?

"Oh Johnny what's that" "it's your fanny miss" thanks Mack I needed that
