Rainbow Six Extraction is a low point for Ubisoft. It's remarkable how little this title innovates over and above what already existed in Siege. This feels like a game that lost its way in development hell and is now just trying to recoup its development cost with an unjustified price tag.

hope ur doing well mate !
they had all the feedback from ppl that tested this on alpha, what did they do ? release the game without fixing any bug, didnt add anything new that we didnt try . its just a quick cash grab.
Sounds like Microsoft needs to buy ubisoft.
Try arknight
So good to have you back. That was a long two weeks. Lol
Appreciate the shoutout. We will not copyright strike you! Great video!
Good on ya
Good stuff
Judas said something similar
Yes… If I recall correctly, he had just finished doing a mukbang collab the night before he reported Jesus for 30 pieces of clout. Supposedly Jesus’ channel was reactivated a few days later and its subscriber count has only grown as a result. The community seems nice, if not somewhat elitist at times. I’ve heard there’s even exclusive content, but it is locked behind a pretty pricey paywall: mandatory weekly streams and 10% of your earnings!
Love to see this.
But "Yahtzee said it perfectly so I'll just share what he said" is a pretty common use case. That guy cuts straight to it with his words ALL the time 🤣
“This game was born on the other side of the finish line, and it still found a way to be last place.”
You don’t get enough credit for your writing. That’s a really good line.
I just paused the video to make this exact comment, but ya beat me to it. What a great line, and what a great review, as always.
He's a fantastic writer.
Indeed a good one!
Genuinely just paused at that line and said "damn holy shit" out loud. Was gonna comment the same thing. Ralph is an absolute wordsmith.
He's dropping a mixtape soon called 'Skill Up : The Review' 😎
"This is a game that felt like it was stuck in development hell for years." Bingo. The breadth of control Ubi has over Siege as a license is spread so thin that this is one of the symptoms. A bunch of coders, programmers, artists, and more, running around like chickens with their heads cut off at the direction people who, from my experience, seem to be halfway involved in the project. I think the people on the ground have done what they can, and at the end of the day, want to get their check and pay their bills. What frustrates me is the corporate structure at which Ubisoft runs their games, which seems to be a top down issue as of late.
I remembered that on r6 ranked said beta for like 2 3 yrs hahahah
Playtested Skull and Bones (another one of their games stuck in development hell) last year, and it was exactly what you described.
I frankly have no faith in Ubisoft as of late, can't believe I wanted to work there as a dev so many years back (hence why i started with playtesting)
No freedom for the devs!
"Make something we can attach an item shop to." NFTs being next. These are barebone games, rather showrooms for in app purchases.
bruh, but u r actually right, I used to hate most of directors of this game, some designers even didn't play RB6S being working on the project, producers and features and vision and everyfuckingthing were changing instantly since production started. I had a burnout and was going out during more then 6 months after leaving the project. Even was thinking to leave the industry forever after this fucking trash.
I'm actually enjoying it. Maybe I didn't play enough Siege to have it cheapen the experience. This adds a lot of mechanics I've wanted from Rainbow Six the last few years. The set dressing being alien goo bs is completely irrelevant to me. MIA's, rescues, injuries? Perfect. Having quick strike mission with objectives and a strict time limit? Great. I'd rather this was part of T-Hunt on Siege, but I'll take what I can get. Also, it's totally cross platform. I want to shit on Ubisoft as much as the next guy, especially being a Ghost Recon guy, but there's a lot going on here that I see as a step in the right direction.
I used to really enjoy siege but its slowly become less and less fun as the average skill and sweat of players even in casual got higher and higher. As someone with a slower reaction time i couldn't ever hope to be competitive but playing with four friends and just doing stupid shit and getting a kill out of it once and a while was the greatest part in my opinion. Nowadays you just cant get away with stupid shit, like ever. My skill if anything has increased slightly but its almost impossible to kill anything without sweating my ass off and when i fail at THAT it makes me angry so the fun just kind of disappeared. (that and the hackers) But playing extraction i finally have a siege feeling game that i can play without being one tapped after being seen by an enemy for 0.01 seconds and having to wait out the rest of the round. At least i can REACT to a threat and do something about it in this not just instantly die.
I played Siege hundreds of hours and have really enjoyed Extraction. Just playing with a buddy that I also played a lot of Aliens: Fireteam Elite and Back4Blood with. I enjoyed it as nice change of pace to those games as this one has a stealth element and sneaking I have enjoyed and going loud is enjoyable too. I don't think it is a game I will be able to play for hundreds of hours but I have probably played 40 and enjoyed it.
I played every single season in Siege for the first three years then on and off for the next 3. Extraction is a breath of fresh air and most of the people complaining about it, are on the same level as cry babies so far.

Best comment I have seen in a while. So funny.
Lmaooo
I really wanted this to be good and still hope they'll support it. I love siege but PvP has just gotten to competitive for me. I love co op shooter and like the idea of slow methodical sweep and clear. If they gave more meaningful progression (more improvement and maybe some unique mechanics), improved objectives and the layout surrounding them, and make the enemies more differentiated I could see this working out.
Try it out I've seen many comments saying they are having fun
everybody wanting to be a streamer has ruined pretty much any PvP game. The streamers forget that people don’t watch streamers because they try hard. They watch them for being entertaining. Sweating every game on camera without doing anything is trash and has ruined games
1 year late gang, but have you looked at GTFO? May be up your alley
This is why if a game its on gamepass I don't see reviews and I play it, I just played it for a few hours and I liked it I like its concept I recommend that you try it before being influenced by the opinion of others
Okay nerd
yeah I enjoyed it and I got it through gamepass really cool gameplay as well
Just because it’s fun as a Gamepass game, doesn’t mean it’s worth the 60€ on ps store
@@berkayyilmaz2928 true but just get gamepass
@@berkayyilmaz2928 That's probably true. I wouldn't shell out 60 bucks for this game with how lackluster and effortless it is. But it's just the fact that Siege's mechanics work so well in this scenario that it actually makes the game fun.
When Outbreak launched as a Free event for Siege, I was one of many saying: "They could make a separate game with this." But after seeing the game on twitch and your review, I still think the game can work, but they pulled out all the great parts of the event.
The event had a story within it, we were discovering how this alien/zombie thing arrived at earth. Apparently, the Event has more cutscenes and contextualization on the situation than the "main" game. The event had linear maps with sections that felt different. The event also had great moments with the story and the maps worked well.
I'm saying this because even if we say that they already had a lot of technical elements, I cannot believe that they just ignored all the good stuff.
Now I think it could just be a DLC for Siege, like the survival mode on the first The Division or like Zombies on Call of Duty.
the event on siege has no correlation to this new game. It was stated by devs. It was an idea, a seed, to create a brand new game similar to it. Most people complaining about the game are assuming this game was made and intended to be like the event. This game is not suppose to be the siege event.
@@-dmm Sorry ? No correlation ? Same characters, same enemies, same franchise, same studio. You are crazy. It's like creating a game with master chief fighting the covenant and saying that there is no correlation to Halo. The fact that they created a game using the same elements of a Rainbow Six Siege Outbreak event, automatically allows us to compare. But let's take this absurd point of yours as if it's true. Okay is a separate product (that they are charging $40 by the way) and is worse than a FREE event that had the SAME elements and objectives. They had it already DONE. Man, do you know what is to make a game with all concept ideas already done, models already done, community already established and most important feedback already received ? This game should have been one of the best Ubisoft has made in years.
Not that I was expecting that, but I really liked what they did back then.
@@ArthurGazzi im just pissed that the characters are not getting backstories. Having Tachanka and Jager making meta banter to each other about the removal of their gadgets and sights respectively, characters given emotional depth, interesting looking characters like Vigil and Mira to be given further characterisation, but nope. just the most generic, rushed zombie shooter thingie imaginable.

Glory glory man united
@@rydermuraira your players are lazy and unmotivated and ruin your club. from a City fan.
Gotta say as an old school Tom Clancy r6 fan and a former XCOM player, I really enjoyed this game. Despite having aliens as the main enemies, it feels way more rainbow six and anything else I've played recently. Ubi looks pretty committed to updating this game with new, free content, so I can see it doing really well.
Also, it's on Gamepass, which is just too perfect.
I'm in the same camp and even fired up Siege tonight. Ran one miserable game of T-Hunt (I spent nearly 25 minutes in queue), and a couple of regular matches. I much prefer extraction. It didn't help Siege's battlepass looked like a desperate cry for attention, not that I'd pay any mind to it anyway. It just looks like a game desperate to keep going when it's out of steam. Extraction, however, delivers on the coop I've wanted since Vegas 2.
Exact same boat here, went in with less than good expectations but had a great time with friends
Be less of a waste of oxygen plz
@@Shinkajo 🤡
I’ve got to say, I played the game for a couple of hours today and I had a lot of fun with it. I can see how it could get repetitive but as long as they can come up with new maps/operators every couple of months like the do for siege, I see the game thriving. I’ve been playing siege since the start and I’m never grown tired of it.
I was thinking that but is fair to wait for operators that we know exist and can play in siege
So basically its the same a siege. I gotta wait till skull rain comes out for it to get good
@@GoodolKev if you played the alien event from year 3 it’s very similar. 3 player coop against alien AI enemies. There’s around 8 objectives and each game give you three random objectives. There are three areas and each area gets tougher. I think it’s fun.
yeah me too.
I think the game could be much better if it didn't take so much from Siege though, but i still found fun in it and that's what matters imo.
I can't see myself playing it for years but it could be a fun casual experience from time to time.
@@ThoA45 is it good to play solo?

Exactly what Tom Clancy had in mind when he wrote the books.

They already trampled and defaced Tom Clancy's grave a while ago.

@@the_shadow_clasher if they keep it up he might spin fast enough to crack perpetual motion and solve the upcoming energy crisis, ubisoft might save us all
You don't remember the time Jack Ryan had to singlehandedly end an alien invasion?
I want you to do a review of GTFO after hearing your thoughts on both this, Back 4 Blood, and Hunt Showdown. I hear that the game is a true evolution of the cooperative shooter, but with so little coverage there's a lot of risk for spoilers to those who are solely interested in whether or not it's worth it.
I dont know why this game has such a huge hate train behind it.
I really like the game. its fun and sometimes a real challenge.
Because people hate everything Ubisoft makes
because its not siege and they dont like survival shooters because they are the same maps over and over.
@@Nirixian as opposed to the other game modes with the same maps over and over?
@@tomgu2285 "because it's subjectively a bad game" there, fixed it for ya
@@tomgu2285 what is bad about it? It’s a nice PVE sneaking experience. It’s hard and gritty, and extremely satisfying to play
This is what happens when your boss makes you hate your job, and you just go to work, do what you have to, and flee at the end of the day. This is the product of toxic management.
This is the product of people who dont play videogames who make videogames cause it makes them rich, capitalism has invaded video games if you havent noticed. These developers are probably mostly college grads who never played a real rainbow six game because they were toddlers when the good r6 games were being released, this is now the norm. A bunch of people who have no compassion in making good games just making good money making bad games.
It’s actually a pretty good game though…
@@aaronhumphrey3514 I honestly think all the people complaining are just sweaty seige players, this game is extremely fun so far, and I'm excited to see what they bring to it :/
Feels like the game should’ve just been a free expansion for R6 similar to what they had during operation Chimera. 100% agree with you on that take
But that means no pre-order bonuses and deluxe editions.
But… money ?
Xbox gamepass. Free tomorrow
@@s.b.andm.g.4045 Its on gamepass but it will cost your time, use it to play a ton of other better games on gp.
@@gustavohuehue7460 will have a go at it... see how it goes. At the moment I'm investing my time in Warframe.
But yes... its too expensive and it should have been like a dlc... I think.
Games cost so much nowadays.
Idk man I actually really like this game. Went in without watching reviews and had a good time. Feel like some of y'all should try that especially if you've got gamepass
I feel the same way, I completely ignored the game untill it showed up for gamepass and I've been having a great time
Yea I’m loving it so far idk what Skill Up’s deal is with this one. Certainly better than Back 4 Blood.
@@derekisazombie39 Not exactly a difficult feat, to be fair
This a shitty review to be honest but not unexpected from him. This game is a nice change up from siege and I do agree it was a good idea putting it on game pass early. People should give it a try and form their own opinion
@@derekisazombie39 Back 4 Blood is garbage to be fair, and this looks even worse.
Been playing this lately with some friends, and in solo. I'm genuinely having a great time playing it. It's significantly more fun than toxic PVP multiplayer games. Working with your friends to complete a hard objective feels very rewarding to me. Teaming up and having good tactics is also a blast.
I feel the same; I do not understand the negative reception. It seems those that played Siege, and enjoyed that competitive PvP aspect, are the ones that are upset.
Having not played Siege myself, or even watched gameplay, I feel I am in a good position to comment on Extraction for what it is, without any expectations. It is a solid game.
I really enjoyed the character banter of Vermintide, despite the repetition the characters interacting and being alive made the repetition fun.
Vermintide shits all over this, same as deep rock. Dark tide will probably do that as well.
Started playing Vermintide for the therapeutic slaughter, stayed for the _umgak._
Also, those 2 games have AMAZING level design and art direction. So much love and effort put into them.
@@ikaemos wazzok slaughter
@@SoftAsABaboonAss Nah the only thing that makes Vermintide any better is that THESE STAIRS GO UP
I always thought it looked like it wouldn’t work. I knew after playing the outbreak event in siege a couple years ago, I thought “this is fun”. But that’s all it was, just quick fun and a nice change of pace compared to its multiplayer. I always thought that the siege shooting and mechanics work well for the core concept, but the core concept alone. The shooting and movement is too tactical for it to work in a open setting. I know that the movement and handling speed has been sped up to try and increase the pace, but I personally think the issue with the game is the idea in general. It too often feels like a mask of another game shoddily stapled on that begins to fall the longer you play.
Outbreak really should have become a more fleshed out and permanent mode in the main Siege game.
Feel like it could have worked if they went in a more similar direction to GTFO, meaning more horror with high difficulty and punishment, and therefore more tactical. But the appeal of that isn't broad enough for a big studio I assume
@@monotaroleader7805 Nah, it was fun, but honestly this game is at best what it would have turn out to be if outbreak were to be a permanent mode in siege
Pretty much everyone and their mothers knew it was going to be a shitshow the moment they announced the mode was going to be stand-alone
@@ythanzhang better for it to be a mode in siege rather than a separate game tho
My friends and I are pleasantly surprised with Extraction.
There are legitimately tense and challenging moments, while still being fair.
If you play on moderate difficulty, you will get bored.
I can’t say I see myself playing this for a long time, but it’s a very welcome break from toxic multiplayer games with little, to no bug fixes or updates. It’s at least a breath of fresh air, even if a tad repetitive.
I disagree, there are lots of other strategic zombie games that are way better than this I just know it, this is the lowest of the low. They will be a better breath of fresh air, especially considering the price for this game
But ofc, you could be playing it in game pass, I recommend playing deep rock galactic aswell, it's an amazing game to play with friends and the community is freat

@@sagittarius4765 Completely forgot about that one, a shame that it never got released
This type of review is EXACTLY the type of review that most the gaming community expected from this game as soon as it was announced. There was no expectation of this game being good. I'm not even disappointed to hear this game is crap, but rather disappointed in how far Ubisoft has plummeted as a developer. No innovation, very "samey" feeling across a lot of their games, absolute disrespect in the handling and direction of their long standing IPs, and now they being full steam ahead into NFTs.... it's to the point where seeing the title of Ubisoft on a game has become entirely synonymous with the word _Disappointment_
don’t worry guys they’ll just release a new shitty ghost recon so it’ll even out
And it’s a shame too because every now and then something that is really good comes out under their umbrella and it get immediately discarded or branded as an Ubisoft game.
@@Bill_Dipperly I can think of Immortal Fenyx, which felt (much) less homogenized than the usual. What else?
@@ianvance1647 this might seem weird but I started playing the division 2 not long ago and playing through the campaign while exploring the open world and going through all the missions in the interior buildings was probably one of the most memorable things I,ve done in a game in terms of level design, mission structure, insane attention to detail, graphics and special effects, interesting AI and the way you interact with them.
I still constantly find myself stopping in an area for several minutes just to soak in the environmental storytelling (because sadly that’s pretty much all this game has in terms of a story lol).I think Shill up’s review showcases this pretty well and I ofter wonder what that game could be today if it was made by an independent studio since it is pretty much abandoned by ubisoft and massive.
true , i thought this is just a mod for siege and looks like it is just with total game price
As a casual player this was a very challenging and fun game but it is nice to see an opposing opinion
I'm going to buy it for $60 I'm having second thoughts tho
As a casual player, this is one of the worst games I've ever played.
@@femgoth what do you guys mean by "casual" ??
@@jeffreyramsaur796 someone that just wants to pick up and occasionally play.
Because these days you're either a casual or a tryhard no in-between, apparently.
Great review but I feel you missed a couple points here and there. The main one being how bad solo playing is. You mentioned how the early difficulties are mind-numbingly easy but I don't think you realized just how bad they are for solo play. Since they effectively teach people you can just brute force your way through. This leads to people starting objectives alone and failing it for the team, when theres only you and other guy and they start the extraction when your away causing you to miss it and go M.I.A, or also getting the team overrun and causing everyone to go M.I.A which is the most frustrating thing to get punished by a dense teammate just for the next run another teammate to start your recovery against the tree alone and lose your operator again, repeat this process and solo can get annoying fast which caused me to uninstall this game before I even finished it
You just know speeding up the healing time or auto-rescuing operators is going to be a micro transaction thing
That's capitalism for you. If it worked for our internet and phone providers, it'll work here. Gotta make as much money as you can.
@@Deodank thats how ubi works

The reason this game is on Gamepass day one is because Ubisoft knew that this was so bad that it would barely sell
True
When I saw it was on gamepass I thought to myself "that's not good" but there's some good stuff on there day one I just had a bad feeling here
Bland buggy and uninspiring!!? Pop it on game pass.
The duality of Gamepass. One one hand, you've got Psychonauts 2, on the other you've got this mouldy slice of white bread.
@@thatdarnskag5043 Why’s is gotta be white? You racist against bread?
Returning to this video, I would actually love to see a showcase from the ambitious mods you talk of. Always curious to see what mods are making the splash out there, outside of the main communities.
Look at Operator Drewski's videos on Stalker, particularly Stalker Gamma. There's more, but that's what a mod looks like when the community really cares.
Deep rock works because whilst the objective is sometimes similar, the environment is always different.
If DRG had maps it would be a terrible game lol.
The idea of not using the same people each mission when they're injured and having to go on rescue missions sounds like XCOM. Different style of game but it has that.
The old Ghost Recon had it too
The early rainbow games were like this...if the character died you could not use them again in the campaign playthrough
It's from the original Rainbow Six games. You know, those games Siege players and modern gamers don't know existed.
Picked it up today and couldn’t put it down for 6 hours. Great character progression, not as much of a cash grab as Siege was, and the MIA or Damaged Character aspect was a creative call. Wasn’t expecting much of anything from this game but they actually surprised me.
“Not as much of a cash grab as Siege was.”
Just slap yourself. Ubisoft had the nerve, the sheer unmitigated gall to put a cash shop in a game that will be dead in less than a month.
@@synapse913 to you maybe, but its got a very healthy player base. I can see this game last for a long while. For me and my friends we are loving this game.

@@synapse913 not so much since elden ring came out, but occasionally if I get stressed from losing boss fights. Better than battlefield thats for sure.
I went into Extraction with low expectations and honestly kinda expected to hate it. I have game pass though so I gave it a go. My biggest negative of the game is just how hard it is to know exactly what to do, and the consequences can feel a bit steep at the beginning. But after watching a couple how to and tips videos, the game has grown on me so much more than I ever could have expected. The game is actually fun and pretty damn challenging. You do need a group of friends to play with and all have mics to communicate. Communication is 100% key in this game.
If youhave Game Pass, go try this for yourself. Don't let other peoples reviews stop you from playing a brand new release included on Game Pass before seeing if the game is fun in your eyes. Even if you normally agree with Skill Ups opinion, I suggest trying for your self with a group with mics... The game will really bring teamwork to the forefront and I really liked that.
I was so ready to hate this, i hate ubisoft games and i hate what they have done to tom clancy and my favourite franchises. But im really enjoying this game for some reason? I feel like im actually playing the game slowly and tactically and im really enjoying leveling up all the operators
It'll be dead in a couple of weeks.
I was actually going to this with low expectations but this game actually is pretty fun. It's pretty different to a lot of other 'horde' shooters or zombie games I play and actually has a pretty decent game play loop. I think as long as they keep supporting this game I'd actually be down to play it.
How much is Ubisoft paying you
@@scottiiiejames Lol
Skill Up if you want a game that's going to make you feel something, I HIGHLY recommend GTFO. It deserves a review far more than this tripe.
You just spoken right off my mouth
This piece of crap are just a copy cat low cost GTFO
Ubi just kill off the Unique design + feeling from the story and gameplay from the outbreak event
Honestly, the rescue op idea sounds really cool. Would love to see that mechanic(?) in better games. Would be especially cool in something like GTFO maybe.
literally make a more accesible GTFO and they had a winner but nooooooooo
Another series with something similar is XCOM. Well, not really a rescue mechanic, if a character dies…. They’re dead. But there is a character roster and if characters take enough damage they go on medical leave
Yea this was the onky system that was somewhat interesting. Would love to see this in GTFO
I would pay good money to see shillup play GTFO and review it. It would be great for him to review it after this game and see the light, or dark, depending what expedition you are on.
Yeah
It’s funny, you’re the only reviewer I know of who actually gives away their ‘score’ in the title of the video, yet I always watch it in full. Others who don’t do that, I tend to skip to the end just to see what their opinion is overall… I guess that just means your reviews are fkn great
It's very respectful.... Like if you Google a question like when does XYZ tv show release date, I get articles goading me to open a website because they need clicks and create an entire article to generate a backstory about the XYZ tv show before they reveal they don't have a release date or do ....
Clickbait is the downfall of search.
So you just listen to yes buy or no don’t buy instead of hearing explanations
@@cjallenroxs6239 with other reviewers yeah, not that I do whatever they say but their reviews are just torture to sit through lol
There's actually a science to it, something about the spoiler effect iirc. Basically, knowing what happens at the end makes you even more interested in how things got to that point, and Skill Up delivers on his explanation on why he gives games the reviews he does. The META of withholding information is nice when it's a novelty imo, but when everyone is withholding information then the ones who will get the most appreciation are the straightforward ones.
@@matthewchinmingwei6721 interesting and good point
As someone who played this on game pass I have to say this game isn't nearly as bad as they are making it out to be. My only complaint really is the difficulty like its brutally hard.
Honestly I’m fine with the game, my only problem is my teammates. They act like sticking together and going to the objective is a disease. They are playing it like it’s Siege with how people roam around solo, which obviously isn’t going to work very well since this… isn’t siege. Lost way too much XP bc they refuse to help me save my operators. I mean I get it, game just came out, takes a while to get into the groove of the game. Hell, I’m still getting used to this game. But that also doesn’t mean that common sense needs to be thrown out the window.
Yes
@@Luna-qk5wt yea im actually having so much fun with this game with my older brother and friends. Feels like the game has real stakes with having to extract down players as well as having to rescue an operator to use them again is a great mechanic. Games usually make everything so easy so I enjoy this one thoroughly I feel like everyone’s just mad it’s not siege 2 lol
@@zacharymelendez6769 I feel like everyone's just mad for the reasons stated in the video. I don't think people want siege 2. They wanted extraction but a full game, and they made extraction as a full game but worse
Yeah I actually like it and felt the opposite, it does lots of new things, the mia operator mechanic is new and cool, so is rescuing them. I usually 100% agree with skillup but he's wrong on this one. Only issue is the difficulty
There are zombie aliens in a Tom Clancy game, oh my lord Ubisoft I can't even, this is too hilarious 😂
Tom Clancy is spinning so damn fast in the grave he could destroy the world.
I mean there is zombies in their world if u ever read the books
I remember being hyped for this when they announced it but saw basically zero advertising until it just appeared
Ikr
almost like they knew it was going to flop... but forced to break even
@@aaron_ow That's the reason why they dropped the price because the pre-orders showed them that people wouldn't be invested in it
I think review might be a little harsh, I was expecting and semi-anticipating this game to feel but having played it for a few hours off of gamepass we have been having a lot of fun but we are all siege fans so that helps a lot too. Hoping they make more interesting improvements that have more mechanics and it takes some risks
Agreed, I enjoy it myself
I bet playing games that are on gamepass changes the experience on many games.
@@moonismo yeah, I have a friend, 2 actually that are apparently too proud to admit when the games they buy are not good, and that's normally because they had spent AAA price tags on said games.
On the flip side, people who download gamepass games might feel like since it's a free game to hop in and test out, that it doesn't really matter that much as they don't actually own it, and if it doesn't hold their attention long enough or is up to their standards for a "free game", they trash it and write garbage reviews, but hey who knows, just my opinion.
@@moonismo I put that in to state that I didn't really buy it technically. :^)
A little? It's incredibly harsh. He's talking about how there's no story, but I don't think he glanced at the codex or objective journal notes for more than a minute. The devs dumped a TON of time into the lore. He says he played 15 hours and only got two cutscenes (which are done incredibly well btw), but I don't see how that's possible. I've had 5 or 6 and haven't played more than 10 hours. I'm seriously debating unfollowing him for this. Sloppy review for a very polished games that has a lot of interesting lore, great mechanics, and new ideas regarding operator loss and health.
To be honest, when I listen to this review it sounds more like you're upset that the game wasn't what you wanted/expected than it actually being a bad game. Like someone who sat down wanting chocolate cake and got buffalo wings instead.
Spot on.
That's typically how opinions work.
Agreed. This guy has like, thirty seconds of useful feedback on the game, and 22 minutes of whining.
I’d say so yeah, complain complain… that’s all I heard really
@@SavageSquishy86 What do you mean by complaining? He clearly said in the first couple minutes. This game borrowed heavily from siege. Stuff like operators, mechanics or guns are taken from siege and this was a siege event too. Not true? After all that they just made a ok-ish separate game. Why not upgrade the engine for free and make this new game mode expansion that you have to buy? The game is not horrible but you people don't understand that for 20$ you can buy much better games with a lot more passion behind it. Ubisoft just wants to use less money and make more while trying to force feed NFTs to you.
People today just pre-order and pre-order. Consume any garbage they find. Then act surprised that something like BF 2042 came out full of bugs and honestly not great as a game either. After so many years of obvious signs that quality in games just drops constantly who had thought about it right?
It's 40$ on ubi store. How long will you play it? I honestly wouldn't have to complain about much if they had a good story and with more and better maps. Back4Blood was rated high so I don't expect much from gamers today. It's like people don't understand what it means to have "details" in the game.
You know what if you are interested watch Crowbat channel that has good video on Back4Blood and L4D. No music, memes or funny edits just pure facts. You can find more videos like this and see why I think too many games are scamming people and include online stores to scam more. In the last few years I was only excited for DMC5, Metro Exodus and RE Village. There are few other games that I haven't played like PC God of War or Horizon Zero Dawn. Games like this keep me happy but overall I can see people enjoy more shit these days.
The whole “rescue your operator” reminds me of Left 4 Dead, where when one of your teammates dies, you’ve gotta break them out of a closet or something to get them back in play. That’s really cool
A mechanic they copied from a 2008 game is your definition of "really cool"...?
@@ArcaneAzmadi yeah, no reason to get rid of something good, even if it's old
@@ArcaneAzmadi When it takes the good parts of that mechanic and adds its own flavor to the mix? Thats like perfect genre expansion. Its exactly what we want.
@@ArcaneAzmadi it’s definitely not a copied feature and not the same 😂 have you even played either game? Lol
@@mastersparkles1584 facts
Feel like this experience applies to most Ubisoft games. Graphically very decent, absolutely boring to play, it's so people can get feeling of achieving something easily, but feels so empty.
That’s Far Cry, Assassins Creed, and Watchdogs in a nut shell. Looks great, plays boring, and has absolutely no soul.
The lesser the details, the more time for devs to put attention to them. Many modern games look amazing but lifeless
I’ve always thought about Ubisoft games as something manufactured in a factory,just systems assembled together,whatever is popular,whatever focus groups show to be popular,then painted with shiny coat of paint,it’s functional(sometimes),it’s a game,it’s a product.

I feel like Ubisoft might soon fall and those still passionate will break off into smaller teams where they will make smaller and focused games like Ubisoft once used to make.
I think that the gaming industry will be like a cycle. Indie companies will grow into mass corporations. They will fall and indies will resurface in their place. Repeat, again and again.
Ubisoft fall? 2.2 billion Euros in sales last fiscal year certainly aren’t the numbers of a company going anywhere. Sure any gamer who is watching SkillUp or similar content is well sick of the likes of Ubisoft and their bland cookie cutter formulaic games, but for casual gamer, and let’s be honest there’s a lot more of them than us, Ubisoft makes some of the most popular games on the planet.
To say that they’ll soon fall is just silly
I believe that’s a staple model for almost all companies and industries, it’s certainly a very real phenomena
@@FranktheFurt I know it sounds far fetched but I think that people are determined enough to seriously hurt them.
See Farcry 6 for example, people were tired with the copy and paste bull shit. That game has sold 50% less copies than Farcry 5. People are tired of them.
They are piling up shit stains on their catalog. And alongside there NFTs and Microtransactions, I truly believe that people will just abandon them.
Employees will quit and start their own studios.
I'm not sure about Ubisoft entirely falling but the concept of indie companies rising and falling honestly seems like a very realistic cycle unfortunately, as companies grow, more people who are business focused join and as they climb ladders, people who focus on the art get overshadowed.
@@doorknobhandlebar I really hope you’re right because the industry and even Ubisoft’s franchises themselves will only benefit from the failure of games like R6 Ex etc, however, selling half of Ubisoft’s highest selling game ever is still a shit load copies sold. AC Valhalla is a prime example of the outdated, bloated and bland formula that we gamers “hate” and yet it’s their second best ever selling video game and the best ever selling AC game despite mediocre reviews and long time fans hating what the franchise has become.
Sure, that Far Cry stat is one thing, but it’s not a pattern for all of their franchises unfortunately
I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels like Yahtzee is one of the few industry veterans who has an actual understanding of what are some of the largest issues with modern game design.
Great review and I agree this game would be boring solo. But me and my girlfriend picked this up and been having a blast getting are asses handed to us on the hardest difficulty. We both played Siege for years but after hitting plat 3, plat 2 the cheaters come out of no where and ruin the game. Haven't played siege in 6 months now. So its awesome to be back in a world with the R6 team that we love again.
Agreed, it's great getting siege back but without the sweat and cheaters!
I enjoy solo a lot, more actually 🤷♂️
@@horrordudealma best with friends, but solo is wayyy better than randoms
solo is fun tho
@@hyrulenick agreed, I actually enjoy solo more 🤷♂️ I feel like coop is just too hard.which is so backwards 😂
It was surely a blast of a game while I played it, but as usual with these games, once you've seen it all, that's pretty much it. Only really good at this point if you have friends to play with you to spice things up from the monotony of the relatively barebones gameplay loop.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Farcry 6, and now Rainbow Seige. Ubisoft are simply following the Fifa style of just producing the same game, just with a different environment.
They need to make better gameplay
Valhalla was good imo
@@theobscured_one A bit bloated though, not as much as Odyssey thank goodness.
valhalla was awesome, since it was bloated it worked well as a game you could play while listening to podcasts.
@@theobscured_one doing the same boring and uninspired side missions (even main missions actually), watching the same horrible combat animations, bugging again and again for over 60 hours isn' really the definition of "good" in my book.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite.
just look how many people were disagree with you here . something is wrong, I personally never play siege, and have fun play extraction for 5 hours on quick match. both the vibe and stupid teammate can be challenging for me
Yes, because 24k like to 1.1k dislikes means that he's in the wrong, there's no way that the like to dislike ratio reflect the fact that the majority of people see that the game is got garbage. I have a browser extension that allows me to see dislikes btw, so you look really fuckin slow.
@@DsgSleazy Actually it means his fans just took his opinion at face value and did not try the game. Of course his fans are going to like his videos no matter what. Thats what fans do.
@@DsgSleazy not everyone that disagrees has to dislike the video, specially now that it doesn´t show if you don´t have an extension
@@DsgSleazy then you would know that most people don't dislike now because they can't see the dislike ratio. you must be sped buddy
@@Slippssy Oh, they do? You got a source for that one? Because it's not a fact you can pull out of your ass and expect somebody to believe.
If this doesn't get you blacklisted by Ubisoft, I don't know what will 🤣 Nice review as usual!
I was thinking the same
Nothing will because the average person dosen't watch videos like those. Its always the vocal minority throwing a fit while the silent majority just does whatever it wants to do. I mean, the average gamer should know to NEVER buy on D1 (i only buy my games on sales or i get them as gifts) but they make a killing off D1 sales so not much you can do.
@@Deodank unfortunately you have a brain so common sense and critical thinking is the norm for you. Wel I have a handful of friends that just buy every game.

@@natel7382 It's not their fault. Games require a hefty time and money commitment as opposed to other hobbies where with a movie, you're in there for 2 hours but a game will keep you busy for 8+ hours. You have to be born with the will to play through games.

Honestly, I’ve been having a blast with Extraction. Not worth the $40 in my opinion but a definite Game Pass or On Sale pick-up. By no means is this a full fledged game worthy of its price but it is definitely worth giving a shot of. Honestly the gaming industry is currently in shambles and games by many triple A companies haven’t been good as of late, it’s not an excuse for the game being lacking in content but the fact the game came out in working fashion with enough content to make a game of its price feel worth it.

@@chuckingreaper8654 it's worth it on game pass, there happy?
Ubisoft does it again! For the last 5 years Ubisoft has managed to become blander and take less risks. Their open world games are so similar I don't know if I'm playing Far Cry or Assassin's Creed, how is that even possible? Absolute corporate control will ruin them
The issue is not risks this time, this was the most riskiest direction for an established Tom Clancy game.
@@memecliparchives2254 "established" meaning nearly fully developed with an existing engine, animations, etc. They just had to get the last 10% correct. And that includes all recent Ubi games. They don't flop or do extremely well because no risks are taken. Management saw what was good from previous games, gave the players that and expect it to work after the 10th time.
@@TheHipClip My point was actually turning a Tom Clancy into a generic zombie FPS game. This could have been a zombie horde alien mode in Siege or in a Rainbow Six game concerning counterterrorism but no....
It's at least a risk for the brand. Not only that, but one that was not necessary considering sales of Siege. But looking at other recently announced Tom Clancy games, I'm unsure if Ubisoft's higher ups are actually cognizant of the brand risk or are just accidentally breaking the brand.
If the outer wilds is mentioned in this review I will riot
“Repetitiveness” does not affect me as I played both “The Division” titles. The game is pretty fun. It gets better and WAY smoother with good teammates. Your review was cool. But the titles…well “really really blows”

As someone with thousands of hours on siege, I loved outbreak when it came out, hated that it was around for such a short time, confused why it didn’t come back and pissed that this was made instead of a side mode in siege.
I wonder if the less content we are getting in siege is because of this game, if so I really hope ubi pulls itself together
Everybody loved the event so much, that they decided to never return it and make it a spin-off for 60$ CAD. Seems like a pure money grab sadly
@@ChrisPBacon-gn9jx the price was reduced
It's Ubisoft. They won't. Ubisoft doesn't want to make good games. They want to make mindlessness
@@Never_heart Exactly. In a way, I'm grateful that they gave us Prince of Persia all those years ago...but yeah, that Ubisoft isn't the same Ubisoft that exists today. There is absolutely zero substance to the characters and stories they write nowadays.
As much as I'd like to hope the same, I feel like it's probably kind of over for Siege.
Even if Ubisoft manages to genuinely innovate on the mechanics and refresh the extremely stale meta somehow, it's obvious that they simply do not have an answer for the cheating problem (which is ubiquitous in FPS games, but has hit Siege especially bad).
The other fact that does them no favors is that there's now finally a bunch of other tactical shooters doing the rounds (RoN and Zero Hour for example), all of which better capture that serious tactical vibe that Ubi has increasingly shunned.
"This game was born on the other side of the finish line, and it still found some way to come in last place".... god damn Skill Up, you didn't need to end the developers entire existence like that.
I guess it no really the devs fault, they don't really have the freedom to go beyond because copying and paste formula makes more profit.
I bought two copies of this game for me and the wife to play and this is the most fun we’ve ever had playing a game together. I really don’t see where all the hate is coming from…

@@MACHOGOPHER The thing with GTFO is that it doesn't have progression. To some it doesn't matter but to me just feels bland. I love the atmosphere of GTFO but it doesn't scale with number of players. You are always forced to play with 3 or more. If you don't its just so hard. I believe its not undoable but with the rework to kiting mechanics in the game it just makes it even less friendly towards solo and duos. And yes I don't got friends lol.
@@micwan006 On its 1.0 release the game got bots and checkpoints, at least
Everything I saw about it prelaunch made me think that it's more XCOM than Rainbow Six.
Thinking about it, Rainbow Six Siege's mechanics and engine would work really well for an XCOM 2-style scenario where you are fragile rebels who have to use stealth, tactics and the environment to accomplish missions while avoiding powerful aliens that really outclass you until you've teched up enough to face them head-on. Maybe someday...
I highly recommend you play this game on your own time either on game pass or borrow it from a friend if you can. A review does not do this game justice. It easily can influence you out of a potentially fun game.
This is a game where you HAVE to try to see if you like it.
Me personally I love it but I love all games with a gameplay loop that is repetitive (B4B, L4D, DRG)
Yeah this game is "amazing" if you borrow or get in on the game pass. Ok? You realize you just told me and others that it's worth to play if it's almost free? If this was 15$ then go and play it. They wanted full price but dropped to 40$ which is still is too much.
By the way if you loved L4D I honestly can't see how you like B4B. Back4Blood lacks detail and passion. Characters mouths aren't even animated properly when they speak. Good amount of bugs. No good lore or characters. Probably a fun game for 3 hours if you have some friends otherwise waste of money. You will not miss anything if you don't play B4B as much as you won't miss a thing if you don't play Extraction. Search for 10-20min because you will find better games for 20$.
I wish we would have gotten Rainbow Six Patriots instead of Rainbow Six Siege. This truly is the cursed timeline
Ubisoft has been awkwardly stumbling through a mix of mediocre success and big failures, lately. The common theme is that the successful titles are creative and ambitious with deep mechanics, while the failures just involve slapping a massive price tag on a piece of unoriginal shit and calling it a day.
I'm a sucker for extreme sports games and finally got to convince to buy riders republic after avoid Ubisoft for years, all the pretty cosmetics are behind a pricy paywall and the unlock system is super lame
Doesnt surprise me considering who is leading their dev teams. They hate their customers apparently.
I've been playing ready or not which has also prompted me to go back and play Swat 3 and Swat 4, games I played alongside the original Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six 3. It's nuts to think how diluted the identity of Tom Clancy as a franchise has become. It means nothing to see his name on a game anymore other than we know it'll have guns and be a trend-chasing shooter-coop game. Yeah, yeah *joke about him spinning in his grave* but it's been nothing but Ls from Ubisoft the last couple years and I can't help but feel the Ubisoft we love to rip into isn't even there anymore, it's a whole new joke.
It's a whole new stoop of low
its very much the fault of Ubi Soft for making arcade shooters out of Tom Clancy games - but also the sheep that bought and played all their trash products and supported them
I like shit on ubisoft as much as the next guy because they're an awful company with awful games but seeing people clinging to tom clancys thighs and cry about his legacy are just appealing to feelings without understanding that he stopped giving shit about this stuff when he sold his ip , also he's dead so lol
Yeah it's best to play old games cause most of the new aren't worth shit and this game shows it.
I'm really enjoying the game, solo, with friends and with randoms. When things go pear shaped, it has been great seeing complete strangers go out of their way to extract a fallen team mate.
I think I've never clenched my butt cheeks so hard whilst watching the final teammate clutch to extract us both who've fallen. Find the game fun in itself but it sure as hell is missing more threatening enemies and better objectives... Maybe even more open area maps that don't involve buildings
I think it's great that you guys can have fun playing it but my god I wished you would elevate your standards and expect more from your hard earned money. Again no offense but you casual types are the reason we get the same soulless, cookie cutter, bland crap every year because you all buy it when I promise you if you just opened your eyes just a little bit and peered over your comfort boxes you'll find a whole heap of amazing games that give you whatever you crave PLUS actual meaningful, interesting content.
Sorry rant over 😅 I don't mean any disrespect but these developers are full of creativity and I hate to see that talent wasted for 4 years they'll never get back
Damn, I didn't know I wanted "XCOM but it's an FPS" and now I do, and it looks like this game isn't going to deliver on that
Cheap cash grab by Ubisoft copying R6Siege assets and selling them rebranded again to suckers.
Disgusting
I legit thought this was an R6Siege DLC until I watched this video. Heck, even after watching this, I still think it should've just been a DLC.
@@akmal94ibrahim It came from a FREE event they did in Siege.
I don't think bland is worse than bad. With bland you can always add seasoning. When something is bad, you have to toss it out and start from the beginning.
if a game is bland it wastes your time hoping for something interesting to happen. If a game is bad you figure out pretty quickly and refund. I'm inclined to agree with Ralph
My first match I was only able to knife I couldn't fire my weapon or aim down my sights...
I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t have amazingly high hopes but I didn’t really play much of outbreak but when me and my friends hopped in this game for the first time we had a lot of fun, not to mention that skill up got a portion of this review completely wrong 😑 “this game is completely co-op and does not have solo play” that was straight bs, i soloed a mission last night on the 3rd difficultly with a leveled up character. I never expected a story when I got this game because there was no story with siege and I wasn’t really expecting one. I wasn’t expecting auto healing because I have played siege and there is no auto healing in that either. Overall it feels like skill up didn’t put enough hours into this game to see the fun side
I knew there was going to be alot of hate for the game mostly because of how toxic the siege community is ,the game is well done for it's first month of release they can do more to it yes like a base defense with fall back points to give more of a reinforce and hunker down feel for those r6s people but overall good game that has progression , makes you be tactical instead of run and gun , has consequences for losing the match and events and missions you can do over and over with different outcomes
Skill up said he put in 15 hours into this game smh. I had the same experience as Skill Up that this is not an enjoyable game. So get out of here trying to nullify someone else experience. If you like it then it's fine but dont be like "Oh he needs to put more time in" when you can't even watch the video where he mentions that he did all of what you're saying.
@@Meowskee_0 just cause he said it doesn't make it true, one why he put 15 hours in a game he hate ,2 the first cutscenes is at lev 4 if you simply play for a hour you can get it not 15 so that's a lie and no it's not fine for him to go out and lie about the game and tell everyone not to even give the game a try even tho it's free.
@@Meowskee_0 I guarantee you your lord “skill up” didn’t play long enough for the game to actually become interesting. He never experienced a whole horde of invisible teleporting monsters just trying to kill him. How do I know this? Because he never showed footage of it… skill up takes all the gameplay at face value which I never get mad at him for but I feel as though he never pays attention to a games community and how far it can truly reach. The greatest example of this is how much trash I remember he used to talk on destiny 2 a couples years back, games still not dead like how he thought it would be. I respect him and his content but not when he thinks he knows what’s best for everyone to play
@@hamptongold5404 hah alright bro. One it's his name and two I'm not agreeing with everything the dude is saying. Ya'll can agree to disagree with this game but everyone has their own opinion on this game it all seems pretty mixed. I'm calling this game trash and its like they say. Another man trash is another man's treasure. Peace.
I kind of knew that this would be the case.
Yeah, figured it'd flop... I still hope it gets better though, not out of a love for Ubisoft but rather out of love for the concept of the game they tried to give us. Maybe I'm a little biased as I root for 'underdog' games, after all I liked Anthem, I liked Back 4 Blood and Outriders for example... but I really I wanna like this, I want this to be good.
Was anyone actually excited for this?
Definitely, this video at least
I was when I saw it was Game Pass day 1. Now not even that is enough motivation
Not me
Nope
I remember when I was excited for this
Most of your reviews are quite spot-on, objective assessment wise... the only part I personally take issue is when it comes to the "fun" portion... why? cuz fun is super subjective, and when a review is mostly based on one having fun or not, then a competent game might be as doomed as much as a garbage game might be praised, all on a taste basis... remember: Siege is a PvP game, and many people would love to play a PvE Siege just because they have no fun playing PvP... Anecdotal sure, but in my case, I happen to be having a lot of fun both playing solo or w/ friends, and believe it or not, even w/ randos... I've played the hell out of Rainbow6 Vegas1-2, since I was dying for a replacement, was super disappointed when Siege came out... while I do like and play PvP games, I just don't like the PvP offered on Siege, but I wouldn't say Siege is a bad game just cuz I don't like it...
I do agree the "boss" encounters are simplistic and very mechanical, so, not very fun (maybe some fun the very 1st time)... and I agree this game will have a shorter life spam compared to Siege (unless they have a very tight and constant content drop), but honestly, I take no issue w/ that... I wanna play so many other games that are coming out, I'll move on when I'm no longer having fun...
Just some food for thought: saying that 4 years (or whatever time) is too long for a given result is a worthless assessment unless you know how many people and/or what conditions the work took place, for most of the humanity fewer people will take longer to achieve the same common goal than a bigger team will... also people in general should stop blaming the "corporate overlords", and saying things like "..only if the devs were granted freedom we would have had a better game/experience..".. I work w/ automotive design (I'm both an engineer and designer by trade) and I can guarantee that sometimes "bad ideas" will slip through... sure it might have been a top-down design decision, but hear this: no corporate leader wants to bet on fail, and misjudgment sure is an issue, but to assume that the work-floor development-guy knows what will be a hit or a miss is just a naïve fair-tale like view of, well, everything really...
May be time to grow-up (not only skill-up) and accept that not every game will please all/most gamers, and that the "..don't like it don't play it.." is actually an accurate/valid statement... stick to being objective, the subjective part we all need to figure out by ourselves, individually...
cheers
and hey look, skimming through the comments, a lot of people actually seem to be liking it... even non fans of OG Rainbow6 or Splinter Cell... hell, even Siege regular players seem to like it... LOL
Ubisoft has a long history of taking really great games and remaking them into something weaker than the original rather than building on the strengths and adding the new features to make them even better. Thus, snatching failure from victory has been a common issue there as though they can not identify what made their successes successful.
Damn you hit the nail on the head. And it's mind boggling how they can't figure out what gave their initial ideas so much potential when there's no shortage of reviewers and TH-camrs giving the good/ bad/ ugly of their time with a game. Ubisoft's issue is they're disconnected from their fanbase and really don't give a damn about customer feedback unless a game is a critical failure
Assassin’s Creed :(
Im just so done with Ubisoft at this point. Like I couldnt care less what they do next
Really wish they stopped trying to remake the wheel with their games. You created fire. Turn that fire into a bonfire. For life of me I don't get what goes on in their idea meetings. Okay guys we got a great series how do we fuck it up?
This game would've been revolutionary if it was released side by side with
Wolfenstein 3D.
5:00
What?! Everyone I met on this game agrees that this game is easier by yourself... Alone you face less enemies which makes stealth a cake walk
After watching the video I agree: a 20€ price tag would have been fair. Also, I forgot this game was being worked for 4 years, I unironically now have a stronger opinion of it LOL
But the game is fun if you like doing things tactically and methodically. Me, a friend and some other spanish dude with level 8 Rook got to platinum in Maelstrom, tho, and I have 90% completion rate. It wasn't easy, tbh, it was fun for us.
I feel it'll happen what happened to us with MCD and other new titles: we play it on a vacation, we don't play it until new stuff comes out (weekly for that 120 RC).
Wonder if new stuff will come out.
Is it better to be played solo? None of my friends wanna play thisbsigh
Makes sense he wouldn't know about the scaling since he complained about not enough cutscenes and probably never read the codex that explains it.
Nowadays having to read seems like a negative for a game when people just want pretty cutscenes to look at :/
@@babyyyz7948 Not necessarily better as you can still get killed just as easily solo. The maps just spawn less enemies depending on the squad size so the enemies are easier to handle and won't overrun you so quickly.
@@JP_KI is the codex like people talking to people or just a wall scroll of text with no voice over. If it's the latter that's a shit way to introduce plot to the game. People pay for a game not a book
@@ragingnep They're briefings and reports that are written by the Siege operators. They're actually pretty funny with stuff like Smoke making jokes about the bloaters smelling so bad even he has trouble keeping his lunch down and things like that.
Also what's the difference between the two? If you can't even read a sentence or two and instead expect someone to read it out loud for you then i'm so sorry. The games meant for infants are on a different aisle.
As somebody who didn’t play a lot of R6: Siege, this game is kinda awesome. 🤷♂️ it’s more fun than WWZ or Back 4 Blood imo.
The free outbreak event they had a few years ago was way better than this
@@BoneStack117 I think extraction adds a lot to what outbreak did
I just listened to the audio and didn’t watch the video on this review. I felt like I didn’t miss anything.
1. A testament to great writing.
2. I could simply follow the Ubisoft formula in my head.
"This game had somehow come along with an ice cream scoop and scooped out all my parts of brain for thinking or feeling or anything."
Sounds like Ubisoft finally achieved its ultimate form after so many years hard work to disconnect its game with the concept of fun.
The soldiers get captured and you have to break them out... which sounds just like XCOM 2.
Much like Mario Tennis Ultra Smash and Chibi-Robo: Zip Lash (any remember those games? Yeah, me neither), this’s basically the equivalent of “yeah, we needed something to fill in a release schedule, so let’s just toss together a game without any intention of actually making it fun.” It would explain why this game is so derivative, vapid and soulless, at least, even by modern Ubisoft standards.
"A Ubisoft Original"
Um... what? We know you guys copy and paste game mechanics, but no one was saying you copy and pasted entire games, Ubisoft...
"I can't think of a game that has evoked less in me"
Instantly reminded me of back 4 blood
At least Back 4 Blood had SOME kind of substance and difference in gameplay, and is fairly enjoyable in it's own right.
Although that could be me, as a wise man once said you can't be disappointed(or really hate a game too much unless it's gameplay related) if you have literally no expectations for anything.
@@OrionDawn15 I went into it expecting it to be mediocre, but it was less then mediocre. Nothing about the game was exciting or intersting.
The only thing I can say that wasn't bland was the characters. Don't get me wrong I still hate them but at least they are hate-able
@@OrionDawn15 I get the feeling you didn’t actually play it and are just spewing shit other people have said who also didn’t play it, even if you tried to hate b4b there is no way you can say it’s boring
@@slamdunkd12345 Of course I played it, I wouldn’t be talking about it otherwise and personally it was a blast for me at some points. But I’m not gonna sit here and pretend the game is perfect. Although I didn’t say anything about the game being bland.
@@OrionDawn15 I think they wanted to tag me instead of you, because I'm the one hateing on the game.
Just for clarification tho, I did play the game too.
Who would have thought Rainbow Six Vegas 2 would be the last true story mode we got from a Rainbow Six game. It will be 15 years old this year... RIP my youth.
Idk, as generic and uninnovative as the game is it's still pretty fun to me. All I expected was to shoot aliens with Siege gunplay and the game delivered. If you expected a game that is sort of trying to convey an artistic message well not every game has to be that, some games are just dumb fun. That's why COD and Fortnite are so popular.
Honestly I'm kinda tired of this whole "gamer rage" trend that is going on with some youtube reviewers. If it's not some artsy thing then it is boring and soulless... so? Some games are just meant to be a product with the sole purpose of entertainment. Not everything has to be an introspective work of art or a life changing experience.
"Honestly I'm kinda tired of this whole "gamer rage" trend that is going on with some youtube reviewers"
Same, and for some reason TH-cam continues showing me SkillUp reviews. Which are probably the worst of the bunch in this regard. It's genuinely difficult to understand what he is trying to say except "I wasn't in the mood for this game and didn't have fun now I'm really mad about it." Like, I actually paid $30 for Far Cry 6 because I found 5 to be dumb fun, didn't like it all and bounced off it hard. But there is a part of me that still leaves open the possibility the people making it put in decent work, I can acknowledge other people liked it for what it is, and maybe it just wasn't the right time for me to play a game of that genre. Yes, it embodies a production environment that produces certain kinds of by-committee experiences, but we knew that going in with a Ubisoft title. SkillUp always sounds like he skipped a stage of mental development that allows for the kind of intellectual nuance necessary to perceive our emotions as contingent and impermanent rather than incontrovertible facts about the world that others must acknowledge.
Maybe he just didn't like it bc his expectations were tied to how siege runs. It's not like he hasn't given good reviews to games that are just meant to be fun (Hot Wheels, Riders Republic, etc)
