whats your favorite indiana jones media, happy new year as well.
I've already sunk hundreds of dollars and hours into this game. Do not fall for the snail's trap. For when it slimes you up and makes you slime, there is no escaping it.
I have played the New indiana jones game twice, and I'm playing it again today it is absolutely unbelievable
it's a game that has so much technical issues, fps from 2005 have better structure, level design and gameplay then this
My favorite Indiana Jones media is when Luka got traded to the Lakers
@ColonCommander have you even played the new indiana jones game, yet it is absolutely unbelievable
I would make the argument exploration and puzzles are a main part of the game rather than a side piece. He's an archeologist after all.
So you say he doesn't shoot in the movies? Lol, these are very lame excuses for a bad design.
@@jakewest8816 Nobody is saying that, it is however very uncommon for him to shoot. I'd probably find more bullets shot in some kid's cartoons than an Indiana Jones movie.
lol how many Indiana Jones movies does he actually have to do that many complicated puzzles? That shit doesn’t happen. Not only that but I’m broad daylight in fascist Italy? The game feels like it hasn’t been fully finished. Not a bad game but definitely overrated
@damiantirado9616 the whole idea is giving you the experience of being him. Plus it's a video game dude. Don't understand the character nor understanding how to make it work in video game form. Shocker! In another universe if those elements didn't exist you would be here complaining about that as well! lol
@ again in what movie does Indiana Jones solves extremely complex puzzles? He never does that
The combat isn't bad, you're just not playing it right. It's a stealth game.
Shit stealth, made better stealth game with better ai 20 years ago
Why are you complaining about the combat when your not even playing it in the best way. The combat is not supposed to be a wolfeinstein gun game it is Indiana Jones and you are supposed to use the whip sneak around and punch people.
Dunno about that; stealth-focused games can still have good gunplay/combat (see: Metal Gear Solid). I think the critique here is, if you're gonna put it in the game, and actually have systems supporting this gameplay, you may as well make it good, or not have it all. Mind you, this isn't even a stealth game; the genre listed is Action-Adventure.
You're describing a straight-up stealth game, in which case, why even bother with gunplay mechanics, and even so, as mentioned, you can still do it well, even if it isn't anywhere near the main focus.
Cause this guy has no clue what he’s talking about and he’s complaining to complain so he can get more clicks and that’s it’s.. this game is a masterpiece
@@bodacious117 lol
He's trying hard to get some engagement by shitting on the game,hoping to get views from Bethesda haters and Playstation fanboys,he's not the only one there's a lot of mid YT channels trying to do the same.
@@jakewest8816 something funny?
Damn your iconic Engagement retention editing is missing
It will be coming back next year
The melee combat is the exact same as the one in red dead 2. You're able to block, dodge, punch, grab, and have unique animations for certain weapons. Stamina really isn't an issue if you don't speedrun the game to pump out a video (I see your stamina bar at the very end, I had almost double that when I finished the game). You wanted wolfenstein, not an indiana jones game
its based on Condmned:Criminal Origins from 2004 RDR2 isnt first at it.
I liked Indiana Jones but I definitely want Wolfenstein 3 to wrap up the reboot
Yep, Indiana jones isn’t a superhero he doesn’t have unlimited stamina and there are way around that, explore and upgrade him and then the stamina never comes into play.. this was a shit review just for clicks
Yeah I said the exact same thing when I saw his stamina bar, I was like "no wonder he thinks the melee combat is shit, he's facing late game enemies with no perks because he didn't do any of the side content"
Melee combat is actually really fun. The gun play does feel pretty bad but I'm fine busting random objects over enemy characters heads, getting in epic first fights and whipping the crap out of enemies. It's not a shooter quit trying to play it like it's a shooter. The real problem with the game is it starts getting buggy once you get to Asia. I thought that was going to be what the video was about. The combat is fun, I'm fine with guns being nerfed.
Ya ive only used my gun once the entire game, its much more fun throwing hammers and shit at people, hes just playing the game as boring as possible then complaining that its boring
I would have preferred making the stealth more difficult while buffing the guns to be more powerful. Overall making it feel more realistic and like the movies.
Asia game level devs never read the memo. Piss poor bug ridden level design
I was hyped to find a luger 😂
@@Thomas-Hastings Same, it would make it better.
Imagine being shot in the back of the head with an actual revolver, then turning around to whoever shot your unprotected head and being like “my health is still at 90%, en guarde!”
I revolver is basically really old, a bullet from that could hit something low, if it was a ak47 or sniper than that's something
@ good thing DS also posted footage of Indie shooting guys in the back of their unprotected head with a rifle…
4 months we didn’t have any released video. But after watching this video try making it 4 years
When is bro going to have a good take???
Holy cow you’re back. It’s been a while skipper also happy new year Hope things are going well for you man.
Marvel rivals vid soon btw
Can’t wait it’s a pretty great game so far
I thought you already made one?
Dont
God the fanboys for this game are complete berks. It's not like Skipper had nothing positive to say about the game at all (but they'd know that if they actually watched the video), and all the problems he mentioned and shown in the video are valid. Look at 10:44... how is the heck is THAT excusable in a game like this nowadays? I'm sure the answer to that question is an indubitably "L take, ur jus a hater mayun".
Nostalgia is a powerful force. Hitting people over the head with bottles for thirty hours is boring.
Bro thinks Indiana jones is supposed to be soap mctavish or sum sht
Hard to sympathize with his review when he seems to be picking a fight with every enemy. I'll admit the brawl combat system needs work, but this is definitely a stealth and puzzle game, not a Call of Duty. I don't think I even saw him use an enemy disguise in this video, instead he charges in guns blazing. I actually quite enjoyed this game and I'd go as far as to argue its the best thing that's been done with the franchise since the Last Crusade.
Sure, but the stealth is total trash because the enemy AI feels like 360 era. Stealth is not good when the only stealth mechanic is line of sight and your trying to avoid being seen by the intellectual equivalent of horses with blinders on.
There is also no consequence for choosing one play style over the other. Every option is equally shallow and unsatisfying.
The exploration is fine, the set pieces are solid, the puzzles are excellent, but the gameplay loop is atrocious. I am a big Indiana Jones fan, so on one hand I'm glad it is being received well in hopes that the franchise will do more than limp along. On the other hand, this game is about on par with the quality of the last two movies.
@@MrBochawastealth was fine to me
This game reminds of me game dont needs 64km sized map to have fun exploring
very fair point! Games just need to have depth to detail, interactive response to player input, and a few paths/options, and those can exist in small places as good as they can in large open worlds.
@queuedjar4578 like comparison Between STALKER 2 to Metro Exodus yes does Exodus map seperated but gmae packed with Exploration eveey area instead walking 30 minutes straight
1.Indy should be able to carry/holster a rifle or shotgun while climbing
2.A dedicated heal button that directly applies bandage without you needing to carry it and then click to heal. Also dedicated buttons for camera or flashlight/lighter
3.Enemy headshots should be one shot kill
4.if one really wants to be stealthy, a hearing/locating or camera tagging mechanic should be included
5.while carrying guns, a melee button to hit with the gun and mouse click to shoot, without the need to click another button to change between shooting mode and melee mode
Edit: I realised that all these changes are the mechanics of far cry games 😂
Yeah, I feel like Far Cry or the Shadows of Mordor games were excellent examples of how to have stealth without being a stealth game like Hitman or Thief. I think the complaint would be that those games are often too easy because of it, but I'd rather a game be fun than be so worried about difficulty that the game is just not satisfying to play. If you want more difficulty, just include difficulty options, but make the baseline a fun, punchy, satisfying experience.
Very rare, maybe even unique L on this one. As you said, the focus of this game is on puzzle and exploration, with stealth being the main mechanic when it comes to facing enemy... and you're not supposed to go around and knock out every guard, but sneak without being noticed, with melee and guns being the very last resort when you get found out.
As someone who only watched IJ series last year, I felt really immersed in the character exactly because I didn't feel untraceable or spongy like Nathan or Lara Croft in her latest games, but a regular ass dude, considered fit for his era, but who feels heavy and moves slowly, who needs to approach every enemy area with the utmost care.
Was it done well or realistically? No, but it's in sync with the campiness of the first movies.
What? Indy is ridiculously tanky in the movies.
Too many people claim to have watched Indiana Jones and then they play the game and expect him to be Nathan Drake. This game has exposed so many tourists of a popular movie franchise. Why lie about watching these movies. lol it's so obvious.
We respect your opinion, but it doesn’t mean it’s accurate
i think this game hits the right boxes. its a 9.5 out of 10 for me!!!
You’re in Sukhothai, the last area of the game and you have 6 stamina bars and 3 health bars. You didn’t upgrade yourself at all. No wonder you had a terrible time with combat. It’s almost like playing an RPG with a skill tree and expecting to beat the last boss with no skills and saying the combat is bad because of game design.
Books give you increased stamina for fistfights, extra health, and extra firearm damage extra damage while using found items etc.
I found as the game progressed and my skills progressed I relied less on stealth and I could actually run around and fistfight anyone I wanted. It was fun and it felt like I was progressing.
Sounds like a love letter to those who enjoy Indiana Jones.
Neat for those folks I guess. Gen X'ers probably loving it.
I was expecting a Marvel Rivals vid but this is good.
Soon. I promise 🙏
@ Please talk about how Rivals made the characters more goonable to take Overwatches place on the NSFW throne 🙏🏽
This take is just *idiotic.*
You’ve never seen an Indiana Jones movie y’know where brawls happen.
Doktor skipper has problems
The guns are supposed to feel like a last resort. Indy isnt rambo. You get books that let you unlock the ability to silently take enemies down with the whip or Indy's bare fists. And getting disguises lets you avoid a lot of enemies.
I agree with most of your opinions for the game, how the combat is weird and unnatural a lot of the time. But, you can't really critise the combat too much and show how weak the guns are when you haven't upgraded a lot towards last major section of the game
I snoozed watching this video little dude. Get new material
Every single review I've watched about this game has absolutely trashed the combat, and every single time I laugh and point out that a game that came out TWENTY YEARS PRIOR (Emperor's Tomb) is still the Goat of Indy combat in a video game. You can tear through guys if you know what you're doing, but even then, you're likely to get knocked around a bit in true Indy style. Bonus points for improvised weapons such as chairs and table legs.
What I really appreciate though, is how the one carryover for the great circle was the nerf dart bullets.... good god. Like, if you had picked any other feature from Emperor's Tomb, you would have been fine.
people give todd howard specifically an unreasonable amount of shit when he's just a nerdy guy who happens to be the face of 100s of people concurrently working on games
Shit take honestly
@4bsurdo did you really like your own comment??🤣
@@4bsurdo definitely an alt
@@madcheeseburger3783 you are very insecure
@@4bsurdo 💯
Exactly
Wtf I just watched an older vid of yours, subbed, and now you upload same day…Les go!!
Just finished the game and holy fuck, can't remember last time i played a game worth every penny. Restored faith in Bethesda
Hoped you had a Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year, Eve 🎉 😊 Doktor Skipper. I can't wait to see you in 2025 ❤
The absolute disappointment I had walking out the cinema after seeing the dial of destiny…
Nah your just hatin. Like every other critic. This game was a breath of fresh air for adventure games. Scartched that uncharted/tomb raider itch.
I definitely don’t see how you could hate the combat so much. Melee always felt meaty with great sound effects and satisfying animations, parrying and blocking was reliable, and enemies always felt spaced out enough that whenever I was overrun by guys, I felt that it was my fault. Definitely didn’t run into the issues you were facing.
Also, crazy that you barely talked about the story.
Dropped the ball on wolvenstein 2? What?
Wolfenstein 2 was a pile of shit that someone puked on
All games have their issues, but this one is very, very good. Machine games knows animation details and human storytelling. I absolutely can’t wait for the next Wolfenstein.
Some easy improvements for the game could have been:
1: Guns do realistic damage and headshots one shot (unless your bullet hit the helmet or the enemy was a bulky guy who can take a shot to the head for a bit which I think could be scary and fun)
2: More or maybe just infinite stamina
3: Your melee does more damage
4: More choreography and staged events in boss fights. Not the entire fight, but there would be small set changes after a certain point to raise the stakes. Like in Raiders of the lost ark when indiana fought that big german dude next to the plane.
1:how about its being indiana jones game not tryina Wolfenstein Game clone.
Seriously in movie like Raiders of Lost Ark indy shot about 5 people
Temple of Doom he barely used gun at all
Last Crusade yes we saw that epic tripple kill one point later on he checks empty revolver reinforcing fact he isnt military soldier who brings 8 speed loaders with his bottom
Also good luck using guns if you failed Stealth in outpost like this guy playing theres more then that even you detected in stealth you can deal with him by punching him and knock the officers who has whistle that alerts all of people
1: It was clearly designed this way to cheap out the combat, I thought of a solution of using firearms would spawn more enemies with guns that can kill you easily, you may take out some but not everyone, this would discouraged the use of firearms even they are deadly.
Personally it would be ideal to improve the AI while you are in disguise when you are doing something odd like climbing or using the whip, it's odd that they don't get suspicious of Indy doing some weird moves.
@@solidbeard8324 That exists in game like using Whipclimbing certain area instantly attacks you
The combat could work if it was more like in the last of us ?
It's not a shooter ... if you sneak up behind enemies it's more fun than to fight them ... the only problem for me is that the enemies stand up again
Advertisement for warthunder while you told how disgusting monetization was in overwatched 2.
Sounds like crazy hypocrizy
This man will do anything cept for making a detailed rdr2 video
Thank you! My assessment exactly. We have such low expectations from games now that everyone is swooning over this one
The melee combat almost seems bugged with how contextual the inputs are. Sometimes he'll punch, sometimes he'll push, often he'll do nothing at all. Ridiculous
The first 3 movies good 4th alright 5th wtf did i watch except some scenes but the game is amazing. Lego games are peak too
My problem with it is crashing. It's like playing Russian Roulette on every new area, cutscene, or interaction. I've got a decent build and tried every fix but haven't found what the issue is. I enjoy the gameplay but when it crashes my pc almost every 2 minutes I can't enjoy it
The Doktor been taking some personal time after that depressing ass NBA finals
This game is great. One of the best games I’ve played in a long time
What a contrarian.
They should have buffed the guns and TRUSTED the players to engage with the game however they wanted.
The Metal Gear Solid series has always given players the option to throw away stealth (in a stealth game) and just run-and-gun. This has actually increased replayability, because many players will go back and attempt a stealth-only run.
Metal gear is not a licensed IP and has long been about tactical gameplay. Machine games also has to remain faithful to indy. He isnt rambo and its not CoD
I fell down the elevator in iraq at the digsite. now i cant progress cause ginas still up on the elevator and i need her to progress and open the door:(
Wonder if you can mod that with PC...
The combat while not really great it does get better with the right book upgrades, how many did you collect during your playthrough?
This is my game of the year 9.5/10 great game. You sound like a hater
Well, his points are mostly valid, but the question is if these problems are important.
The game is fine.
Personally disagree with your take as I really liked the melee combat, especially with the parry and the ability to use all sorts of melee weapons.
Was curious if you used the disguises throughout the campaign cause I used em to avoid some fights which may have helped me avoid some of the tedium you experienced.
Overall I feel that the game does mostly what is set out to deliver in terms of an Indy experience so I think an 8 or 9 is adequate for this game if you are less focused on combat and more on puzzles, but I can sort of see where you are coming from with your take
really like this style of editing
Something’s weird the comments in the video right now are the same when you criticize Bethesda like their Reddit community or toxic fans want to silence you.
The constant hints from the side characters during puzzle sections gets old real quick and just spoils the puzzles.
@@Wat3rCoCk where can you disable the side character hint dialog during puzzles without completely turning off dialog?
I'm forcing myself to finish this game. It's average at best. The only time I'm enjoying this game is trolling the enemy A.I. while easily killing them all. I make them chase me throughout their base and get to a high ground while I kick them one by one as they climb up. Lol
You’re not supposed to be stealthy and you have to actually upgrade your character, genius.
The combat is literally the best part of the game
I think you are spot on. The combat system is just off. The ammos are scarce, yet the damage is ASS, and it alerts the whole area of enemies. So yeah the gun is a better melee weapon than well a gun.
I wonder if there are mods on pc that fix the combat issues.
Seems like theres just a really long ttk for enemies, and if you made them a lot less squishy the game would feel better.
Maybe the mod could make the enemies better shots too to incentivise disarming them
Most enemies die in 2-3 hits.
@@thangnguyenuc5352 Bro they are tanking 8 headshots in the video did we watch the same thing?
@@Bova-Fett Oh, my bad. I haven’t finished watching the video yet, but I’ve played the game for 10+ hours, and most enemies die in 2-3 punches or hits. It’s hard to believe they can tank 8 headshots.
@@thangnguyenuc5352 9:36 - okay its 6 headshots... but still it should be ONE for a normal enemy!
Gunplay sucks I agree. I 100%'d the game and got all the upgrades and regardless enemies still tank a million bullets. However I disagree on the melee combat and hand to hand being shit. The ragdolls and audio for both melee and hand to hand make it extremely satisfying for me, especially since most enemies have a "respect" mechanic (Aside from captains, the pricks) where they won't take out guns unless you do. It makes non stealth melee play viable. If you play the game like a crack addled spider monkey, alternating between running across the enemy bases looking for the next melee weapon to throw or break over a fascist's head, it's extremely fun. The later upgrades you get for melee (as long as you collect them) are also a lot more expansive, so you don't have the same problem with them as you do later with guns. As long as you're actually indiana jonesing, and getting the adventure points to upgrade, you can damn near be a one man army with your fists alone.
Rivals Update Video When?
What a better way to start the year!
I didn't like the combat either I thought I was crazy for thinking that way. Decent but overall it's enjoyable all the way through.
It's so much positive propaganda for this game, this game at best is 4 out of 10
Ah, the classic Bethesda trope of surviving multiple bullets to the head because bulletsponges are fun or something
Not the worst they have done yet tho, no that goes to their latest 76 update where they have a section that’s a small maze with 8 invulnerable enemies that will always one hit you and you gotta fetch stuff out of the maze repeatedly, oh and there are no respawns until you finish the section
Игру разрабатываю Machine games tv то у дурак который в детстве обронили наверное да
The only one thing Bethesda is good at
Yeah I'm just not seeing the 8 and 9's this game is getting. The gameplay killed it for me too. It's just sneak around and bop people on the head simulator. The puzzles annd tomb raiding is fine but the combat is trash. I honestly feel an uncharted clone would've sufficed whether it's unfaithful or not. Honestly I felt more like Indy as Nathan Drake than I did in his own game.
L
Don't mind me, just clicking for the algorithm
The game is a 7 for me, you endure the stealth, shit AI and horrid gameplay but stay for the story and exploration.
Gameplay is fun what u talking bout
It’s an awesome game, you are meant to use brains not fists
missed you pookie
Eh not feeling your take on this one tbh. Also, Wolfenstein 2 is really good imo.
Do a film essay video
I was happy until i saw the vid was only 13 min :(
Were you playing on some kind of hard mode or was this the base difficulty? Because a lot of these criticisms line up with them just poorly making an increased difficulty setting rather than a fundamental flaw of the entire game
It seems to play like the Thief games
Todd needs to get a better hair colorist. Looking very Just for Men.
I'm missing some Smiling Friends and funnies over here buddy
Indiana Jones is hella fun, a bit of frame rate problems but outside of that I don't have many complaints 🫡
Worse game breaking bug ridden game I completed that I have played in years which is a shame because there was glimmers of a great game here.
Avoid playing til fully patched then it will be worth investing time in.
I think the combat is absolutely amazing and some people just don't know how to play video games
Wheres the bird avatar? I miss your face!
Bro finally dropped
"the graphics are not jaw dropping" - name a game that does have jaw dropping graphics then? I don't know, because as of today this game has the most advanced graphics objectively.
Mr ai shill is mad again. Who couldve guessed
The GOAT returns
The goofies shit in my opinion is that the you have Lugers from 1941 in Gizeh in 1937 HAHAH
Indiana jones has magic and you are stumped that a weapon appeared a few years before it should ?
Slightly odd take on the franchise as a whole, but excellent review. This game is being massively overrated.
Dang that War Thunder sponsor really made me want to click off. Lol
I do agree that there could be better ways to incentivize not using guns as much rather than making enemies bullet sponges.
Either:
1. Guns cannot be picked up
2. No crosshair and gun sway/bloom being massive (think Battlefield 2 gun bloom)
3. Guns start with little ammo (could even make it tied to a book upgrade you can find)
4. Guns always have a 50% to jam each shot, except your revolver
5. Enemies nearby would try to lunge and grab you more often when you have a gun equipped to disarm you
They could also buff the damage of the revolver but make the ammo rarer to find.
It's on gamepass and i wouldn't waste my time with this punch walk fest.
Yawn.
Hard pass
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Woke 😊
I wouldn't have liked it if you were just shooting your way through the game. The AI is super forgiving with the stealth as long as you don't escalate to a shooting match.
Incredibly bad take
stay safe
