If you are sponsored... NO MATTER how much you say you are able to say anything you now have a relationship with them and NO MATTER how hard you try you are going to start pulling punches here and there to spare feelings EVEN IF you don't mean to. The second there is a relationship there your objectivity starts to suffer. I know you FEEL like this isn't the case but it is out of your control unless you are the biggest a hole out there which you are not. You can't dodge reality and your review is going to be tainted.
I can't believe it's been 2 years since V Rising went into Early Access. I put nearly 300 hours into it during EA and will definitely check out the full release. Another example of indie studios putting AAA companies to shame
I got the game for free. I beat my friend in cod so he bought me the game since that's what I wanted 😂 I enjoy it since I got it for free. But If I payed 70 dollars I would have been so disappointed. The only redeeming quality is the gameplay is pretty good and Harley Quinn is still fun to watch on screen. She ain't annoying
I put over 300 hours into V-Rising a few months back. Game is freaking addictive! I played on a non-PVP map though and really enjoyed it. I have purchased the Castlevania cosmetic pack since I don't have to rebuy the game from Early Access. This game is HIGHLY recommended. Really cool working your way up the boss ladder as there are a lot of them. Love this game.
@@GamerDaPeter You mention 7days, my friend who showed me that game died last year. Like my friend who showed me Star Citizen/Squadron31, he died two years ago. Never even got to play the game he was so hyped about for so long, real bummer. They still got his money though.
Been playing a brutal pve private server and holy hell they revamped the bosses so nicely. I have trouble with all the farbane bosses I used to steamroll in my sleep. Loving it
It’s giving me some good Blood omen vibes from back in the ps1 days and I love vampire games there’s so little of them that are actually solid and this looks like it could be really fun and keep me busy for ages. Good chill casual game to fulfill my vampire obseesion
The best line you can say with a sponsorship... " I was already going to make this video... But now i get paid for it. Jokes on you. Got paid for free content. Hahaha. "
V Rising is a lot of fun, and I've been considering getting back into it. Haven't played it in quite a long time, but a friend of mine and I had a good time playing it about a year ago or so.
"100%ed" the game when it came out and then stepped away. Excited to jump back into what is basically a new game now. The work the team has done is bloody incredible.
I played 50+ hours before, but they wiped everything, so this time I'm using some of the easier settings for farming materials (3x), not gonna spend hours and hours farming materials again :P
For the building quests; you have to interact with the stuff after building it to finish the quest. So just walk up, press F, and you got the quest done ezpz.
Thank God. I tried watching like 3 different videos on this game and nobody gave a quick intro overview because I guess the game has been in EA for a long time. Appreciate you not forgetting newcomers!
I played this game instantly in early access, I still remember stumbling upon their far-from-finished websites a few years before and being intrigued immediately. When it was released in early access I spent all summer playing it and had SO much fun! Now I just need to feel motivated to build my castle all over again 😹
I cant find a single NON sponsored review. Im probably getting it anyway it does look good but would be nice to see 1 with zero sponsorship and 100% authentic
I played it about a year ago and it was good. The things that kind of ended for me was the lack of structure to the progression and some QOL features that all seem to be addressed in 1.0. To clarify, I am not sponsored 😂
The game is great! I was a little impatient at first with how long it took to craft any item, but them I discovered you cold edit the server settings by altering a certain file and now I'm having a blast!
The real heart of the combat is learning how to weapon swap efficiently. Once you can seamlessly swap back and forth to weapons it takes the already goos combat to 11
The present-participle adjective addicting is technically synonymous with addictive, but there's no reason to use addicting when addictive is a perfectly functional and even versatile word.
It is a fun game now that it is updated to gold. The problem I have is that on one server I got up to Lvl 57 and now the server is a UNKNOWN STATUS and I can't get that toon transfered.
I bought the game a week before full release to test it and now I'm playing with a friend after release and I absolutely get why you say it's addicting because it's the same for us
It's amazing how little I learn about these games despite the reviews being 20 minutes long. I don't hate your reviews it's just that it seems like you are improvising them, no structure, in some reviews you say that the game is beatiful 7 times and skip combat completely. Also your gameplay footage is very poor unless it's from a trailer.
When I see all of the elements and management involved in this game, I can predict only 1 thing that will happen when it is released. It will be featured on The Spiffing Brit channel at some point.
I've been playing this on the new Brutal difficulty solo. It has been rough. Even the first boss kicked my ass. I got lucky and another boss killed it for me and I just ran in for the award and left.
I really do like this game so will be doing a playthrough for full release. Only issue I have with V Rising is that it is always online and due to the country I live in there is always rubber banding in a Single Player world. Even if your internet drops you can't play single player cause the connection drops and results in an error. Always having to host a single player world on an overseas server does make it on the verge of unplayable so hopefully that is mitigated or they eventually allow for solo local play in the future.
@@zambsDGOW No not while online, or at least not that I am aware of. It will always host the server online over the internet causing rubber banding and it seemed to do it this time again. Starting a fresh map the game didn't initialize with a "connectivity timeout" as the cause. I did find a post though that goes through making a local host on your private computer which I can give summary here: 1. Switch Steam to Offline Mode 2. Create a game but make sure to turn on LAN only in the advanced settings 3. Start the game until you actually spawn into the map and can run around. 4. Have fun. This will force the game to run locally without internet on your computer. You can then switch Steam back to online to get those sweet achievements.
You can press left click when sucking blood to abort, which insta kill low hp enemy and give you an i frame. Also the game difficulty spike after act 2, which force you to be better at the game
when my friend group gets tired of Valheim and DRG, i'll be checking this game out! looks cool. Plus i'm a sucker for base building, any base building.
Looking really good i would like to asked you if im able to change the WASD movement keybinds to anything that i prefer because i really can't play with wasd movement. Thank you in advance for any reply
Hey Luke, thanks for another awesome video. Can’t thank you enough for preventing the hype from these horrific games that have come out recently. Well there are great games out there, I’m looking forward in watching your review on Black Myth Wukong in August. Hopefully, it was well worth the wait
Im seriously putting off playing it again because its too addicting and i cant get lost into a game atm. Its one of those games you blinl and 10 hours vanish from the clock.
I had issues with the waypoint goal, i think the issue is that you had items in your inventory that didn’t allow you to use it, the quest didn’t complete to me, until i tried using it with an empty inventory.
4:53 it's cool you can give your unfiltered thoughts but when pointing out bugs thats an early access issue. If I may say, it should be about gameplay first and foremost although I have no doubt you will say about this later in the video
239 hours in steam after 2 runs of early access, finish the game both times only thing ill say is i REGRET, of not holding myself until full release Even after finishing the 2nd run like 4 months ago ish, i was blown away with the full release IMAGINE, if i hold just another few months :(
Never heard of it before, totally my thing, bought it after a quick review by trustworthy youtubers :D This will probably make waiting for Shadow of the Erdtree even sweeter!
I reinstall to game today man dropping to game for work was pretty tough.I start at hardest difficulty its easy at start.I spend a couple days for beat Adam the Firstborn I cant imagine how much difficult Dracula will be.
After spending around 150 hours in two saves I can say the game is very good, UI is from 2010 but not necessarily a huge problem. What I found a problem, a annoying one is the blood mechanic, until you "resolve" this problem is very annoying, I really hoped they will change something about it in 1.0 but is still bad.
Been playing since EA and pretty much love the game with what's it going for. But think game was more stable in latter part of EA before reset since game in 1.0 is kinda buggy with FPS drops and internet connection even on a private server is kinda weird. But all that operational issue aside , game is pretty robust with what it sets out to do.
No Rest For The Wicked is great but it's still very early in development and is both missing a lot of planned content and needs a lot more polish. I'd personally hold off from buying that game until a year later or more, depending on how fast they're planning to bring out patches. V Rising has been out for a while now and is in a more complete and polished state. They're both still fairly different games though, the former is more PvE single player focused while the latter has more of a multiplayer focus as well as a choice between PvE and PvP, or both. In the end I don't think either option is a bad choice, but I personally tend to not play games until they're in a mostly complete state.

Sad thing is the AAA companies don't even feel ashamed. They feel proud for fooling us via over hyped marketing
I nearly got triggered when you said EA before I properly read it lmao
You saved me from buying suicide squad thank you
lol indebted for life
But why? 😂

Holding F on the coffin lol. Probably not an intended reference.
😂 😂
Vampires are so underrated, I haven’t played a good vampire game since vampyr so I might try this out
Twilight ruined vampires for eternity.
This game is great though. You should try it.
Vampires are underrated? You said this because you're not a werewolf fan. You don't know true suffering.
@@ngs2683thank you, werewolf fans still dream.
@@ngs2683 Literally, werewolves get shit
@@ngs2683 We seriously need more werewolf games
We need more vampire games for sure
Good. We need more good vampire games. As a genre it's weirdly easy for people to get wrong.
4:53 In order to get the waygate objective to go away, you have to use it to teleport somewhere else on the map. You’ve probably figured it out by now
it literally says construct and INTERACT 😅
I even just activated it, I didn't teleport from it, and it was marked as finished.

People are complaining because the price went up after the launch, but guys... still worthy! and is still cheap!
In other news, its been over 3 years since Valheim launched and its still nowhere near what everyone expected at this point.
Patience
@@GamerDaPeter At this rate I can pass the game down to my kids and they can play the same version I played.
@@KakavashaForever i waited 7 days to die for 10 years, i can wait valheim and gta 6

@@KakavashaForever well game is going out of early access, so will valheim so yea just patience
I have to say that I find V rising so refreshing, it's a game that I love and will keep support ! I love coming back to it during patch release
Been playing a brutal pve private server and holy hell they revamped the bosses so nicely. I have trouble with all the farbane bosses I used to steamroll in my sleep. Loving it
It’s giving me some good Blood omen vibes from back in the ps1 days and I love vampire games there’s so little of them that are actually solid and this looks like it could be really fun and keep me busy for ages. Good chill casual game to fulfill my vampire obseesion
The best line you can say with a sponsorship... " I was already going to make this video... But now i get paid for it. Jokes on you. Got paid for free content. Hahaha. "
And the dumbest thing you can say "I have a relationship with these people but im 'objective'"....
My friends and I are also playing on a private server, but we're split into two groups, and we're doing PvP as well. Super fun!
V Rising is a lot of fun, and I've been considering getting back into it. Haven't played it in quite a long time, but a friend of mine and I had a good time playing it about a year ago or so.
13:46 OK so the character can move a bit quicker thats good. Phew!
"100%ed" the game when it came out and then stepped away. Excited to jump back into what is basically a new game now. The work the team has done is bloody incredible.
lol some bosses turn your game into bullet hell. What a blast!

Homie is getting those paychecks huh, noice
Luke playing a game? I was starting to think you were just a react channel now!😂❤😉
Cheers for looking at this. I was hovering round it a bit but was never sure if it was worth the buy.
this game concept like maldark conquer of all worlds...bring my childhood memories
This game is incredibly fun. I had a blast with it in early access and happy to see it reached 1.0. Excited to see where it goes
The present-participle adjective addicting is technically synonymous with addictive, but there's no reason to use addicting when addictive is a perfectly functional and even versatile word.
I loved it during Early Access and I’m glad it’s aged nicely! Excited to hop back in later this summer
A survival game that has good combat and survival mechanics.
And there are vampires. Cool stuff :)
It is a fun game now that it is updated to gold. The problem I have is that on one server I got up to Lvl 57 and now the server is a UNKNOWN STATUS and I can't get that toon transfered.
This Game is a gem. I am finally playing it again and am having a blast.
I absolutely LOVE V-Rising! The 1.0 snuck up oh me after early access fun!
I bought the game a week before full release to test it and now I'm playing with a friend after release and I absolutely get why you say it's addicting because it's the same for us
Kind of reminds me of Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodhunt.
I built a 6 story castle with a covered courtyard pillars pushing it up into the sky. Btw Adam is rough.

Love this game! Just launched a review of V Rising myself! Keep up the great content!
vampires don't sleep in rooms with an open side where the dun can hit them. close your bedroom man before you die ;P
This is basically the spiritual successor of Diablo 2 (not Trine) we've been waiting for a long time.
I've been playing this on the new Brutal difficulty solo. It has been rough. Even the first boss kicked my ass. I got lucky and another boss killed it for me and I just ran in for the award and left.

I sunk 174 hours into the EA version. I cant wait to jump back in this weekend!
I'm glad they've gone a little further away from that 'Rust' core mechanic of PVP for fun.
It's a fun game. It felt pretty polished even in beta.
Hey Luke, thanks for another awesome video. Can’t thank you enough for preventing the hype from these horrific games that have come out recently. Well there are great games out there, I’m looking forward in watching your review on Black Myth Wukong in August. Hopefully, it was well worth the wait
This game has been poppin’ since its been in Alpha
Higher level weapons get more attack skills. Also you forgot to say about blood types, quality and bonuses.
Thank you Dr. Leonard Hofstadter, you're the best
I miss those crazy long critiques
Great video. I can't wait until the game launches on PS5
Funny enough I bought the game for like 12 bucks a couple of months ago. Haven't had the time to try it yet but I definitely need to try this soon.
I just strarted it. Its GREAT. But I basically made the exact same character as you... but a lady goblin or whatever :D
Played it since early access couple years ago, it has changed so much but it still has it's Essence, it just gets better and better.
I just got it today on PC and enjoy it so far.
Im seriously putting off playing it again because its too addicting and i cant get lost into a game atm.
Its one of those games you blinl and 10 hours vanish from the clock.
Just hope on PlayStation it has a Offline mode and not Online always. I'm super excited for this game. Hope you do more on this game

glad to see alot of systems have been... reVamped
I have only one complain: how the fuck does a vampire change it's appearance on a mirror??
239 hours in steam after 2 runs of early access, finish the game both times
only thing ill say is i REGRET, of not holding myself until full release
Even after finishing the 2nd run like 4 months ago ish, i was blown away with the full release
IMAGINE, if i hold just another few months :(
Sunlight doesn’t kill Dracula. It just weakens his powers. Just sayin’
Never heard of it before, totally my thing, bought it after a quick review by trustworthy youtubers :D This will probably make waiting for Shadow of the Erdtree even sweeter!
This game fulfills my blood omen:Legacy of kain itch...
Is this game worth it solo? My friends and I can rarely align our schedules to play these kind of games together
I reinstall to game today man dropping to game for work was pretty tough.I start at hardest difficulty its easy at start.I spend a couple days for beat Adam the Firstborn I cant imagine how much difficult Dracula will be.
This should be on PS4, I would buy it day one.
Great watch as always 👊🏿

PVE invasions when?!
I want mobs of angry villagers to assault my castle cause the PVP in this game is not for me but the PVE is kinda lacking.
video game critics try not to be critical of video games challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Been playing since EA and pretty much love the game with what's it going for.
But think game was more stable in latter part of EA before reset since game in 1.0 is kinda buggy with FPS drops and internet connection even on a private server is kinda weird.
But all that operational issue aside , game is pretty robust with what it sets out to do.
I'm curious. Supposing I can only afford one, you'd recommend this or No Rest For The Wicked?
No Rest For The Wicked is great but it's still very early in development and is both missing a lot of planned content and needs a lot more polish. I'd personally hold off from buying that game until a year later or more, depending on how fast they're planning to bring out patches.
V Rising has been out for a while now and is in a more complete and polished state.
They're both still fairly different games though, the former is more PvE single player focused while the latter has more of a multiplayer focus as well as a choice between PvE and PvP, or both.
In the end I don't think either option is a bad choice, but I personally tend to not play games until they're in a mostly complete state.
luke wheres your cats!!!, no cats no like on the video 😂
But how is it on console? And do you have to play online? Or can you solo it?
I've only just started the video but damn the vampire character seems to walk slow, is thee not a dash button? 😅
Why the hell is there (almost) always a red stream of mist streaming off screen to your character?
That is how you track bosses. You select the boss you wish to fine in a menu and that mist leads you to them.
Such a solid game!
Will this game support 3th or first person beside the normal view for the ps5?
