One of the coolest genre in video games. Walking giant robots.
A genre that no one hardly makes anymore. No idea why tbh.
I really want a VR one, just sit down with the cockpit all around you and experience driving a giant mech
@@TheWhoamaters bro they have that and it is literally my favorite vr game! Theres a fantastic online community in it!
@@gary4332 What is the game called
I think they're a little too arcane for a general audience and companies are always chasing the money...
That's why FROM has made like 1.5 armored cores in ten years, but 8 fantasy arpgs
s @GB-sh9st i mean theres a ton of armored core games compared to the number of from software soulsborne
"We watched Pacific rim and Transformers."
*40 YEARS OF MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: "AM I A JOKE TO YOU?"
Robotech : "what am I, chopped liver?"
Can I get my money back? This game sucks. I'm a FASA fan and top NBT commander from the 90's (Defenders of the Dixie Cups Merc and Clan Jade Falcon) it doesn't even appeal to me.
@@positrack99 The funny thing is when they got money from EPIC it was suppose to release in September and was pushed back. Than they did a December Release taht was buggy as hell. Me and many other cancealed our pre-order. Only reason I played it cause a friend bought me it on epic. So all that money and they delayed and they still didn't get it done right. Now it's a year and 4 months later and they still aren't relased on GOG and Steam. WHile I did like the combat over MWO, but it felt like we where in a 90's game when your in your mechbay, it was very slugish and cheap looking.
@@likeorasgod may 27'th is the PC / Console serfs release date. i hope you guys did a good job alpha testing the game for me. jokes aside, anyone that played MWO could see this coming; they can't even run that game right, and they're getting cash by the shovel from fans.
Or Macross, Armored Core???

I'm conflicted with this review/verdict, you've given games with more issues buys than wait for sales....
I worked a double shift on a Saturday waitressing just to afford the steel battalion set.
Reviews arent exact counts. And never should be. Thats not how it works
Thank youuuu for mentioning Robot Jox and knowing what the hell the movie even is. My child hood movie of choice by far so much so that my dad stopped asking me what movie I wanted to rent from family video because that was always my choice lol all he had to do was buy me the vhs and I would have stopped asking him to rent it. Game looks great! Great review as always buddy 😊
@@sarahmacdonald955 Was it worth blood, sweat and tears? Hope it was.
You said Hawken and my heart sank...
Hawken was perfect outside of three small things that eventually killed it.
1. Skill ceiling was too high. New players would just get roasted constantly
2. Maybe shouldn't have been free to play because that killed the devs monitization efforts.
3. Weird name that didn't convey what the game was about, limiting people who might have been interested in the robot fight genre.
@@TheUncleshady the game was also visually ugly and did not really take advantage of creating a unique universe of mechs
There was no customization. Everything was behind a pay wall. Even basic color. I wanted that game to be great, but with hundreds of games with the same mech and same weapons .... It got boring
Ahh Chromehounds, still grieving to this day...
I miss that one
M.A.V (Modular Assault Vehicle) by Bombdog Studios
that is actually some kind of small remake/relaunch of chromehounds out there, they have a discord and stuff, just google and you'll find it/them :)
@@Panthera2601 already play it, still miss chromehounds 😉
yeah i get waht you mean, its just not the same :/ luckily i still have my 360 so maybe i'll play it again sometime
Brick Immortar i need a chromehounds sequel in my life
BattleTech was actually a tabletop that started in the 80s before the MechWarrior video game adaptions. In fact battle tech launched mechwarrior as a tabletop before it became the video game series.
Well, yes? There is a nice Hare Brain Schemes game out on Steam by that name right now. Good stuff. Originally it was Battletech, Citytech, Aerotech in box sets.
also was a neat cartoon using the first kind of computer cgi we now see in a lot of stuff
BattleDroids was okay. It was renamed BattleTech because George Lucas is a poison dwarf. First edition didn't have much content. It was a game about giant robots, and that was cool, but it didn't exactly stand out. No one gave it glowing reviews. There were some great tabletop editions, but not until long after the first PC game came out...which was only a few years after the first edition.
What I really love is that they kept elements from MWO and Battletech like aesthetics and mech customization. It gives the 3 games a sense of being in a united universe. They also kept traditional elements like really crappy AI for your lancemates too, so you'll get that retro MW2 feel (this is funny, but sad).
I don't think there has ever been a Mechwarrior game where the AI was good.
Thats probably the worst part
How are you going to have mech variants; just swap out the arm, what is the point of hardpoints?
not to mention that part where the same model is used across weapons, and only changes for variants
I don't agree on that. I feel like it actually takes the worst elements of all of those games.
@@NephyrisX mechwarrior 4 with mektek mekpak. Ai in singleplayer is mostly limited by scripting but in multi you can see what its capable off.
Epic really has turn me into a patient Gamer... + I get games with all the Patches and such. So No Problems once the game Releases in steam.
Awesome reply, I cannot support the Epic Store because of exclusivity. I've been telling people for years, unless you're a reviewer try and play games 12 months in the past. You get them at a snip of the price, fully patched and even maybe some dlc.
To me it's been ever since the crash of 2008 when investors realized they could start pushing for nothing but pay-to-rent-to-buy-limited-access-to-slot-machines-with-make-believe-virtual-items-in-them.
it all depends on wither or not they plan to stay an epic exclusive
This is my philosophy as well. In gaming, patience is almost always rewarded with the best version of a game for the best price.
@@spacewolfblackmane19 they said themselfs 1 year.
Just found this channel for the first time. So happy. Haven't seen detailed reviews like this since TB left us. The comedy may not be my style but it's not obnoxious. The detail and depth here was amazing. Subscribed. Thanks for the content mate, I'll be checking you for game reviews going forward.
No mention at the beginning for Titanfall 2 ? That game is seriously underrated
I game for over a 20 years and during that time I have read/watched hundreds if not thousands reviews but thus far you are the best reviewer I ever stumbled upon. Not only you have similar taste but also you are not shy to point broken features or simply say that reviewed title is shitty. The cherry on top of that, you have very good sense of humor. You simply Rock!!
It was my favorite part of the golden age of PC gaming. As much fun as I had in the beginning with Mechwarrior 2, Earthsiege 1&2, Shattered Steel, etc. It reached its prime in the late 90’s. When Mechwarrior 3, Starsiege, and Heavy Gear II came out I was really loving it. Mechwarrior 4 was the final phase and I put a ton of hours into that one also.
8:09
Oh thank Christ they have the startup sequence!
Yeah, but no "All Systems Nominal". :( I do hope they patch that in some day.
Edit: I eat my own words. It was absent in the beta, but it's here at launch. ALL SYSTEMS NOMINAL!
@@codysheffield4469 I just heard "All systems nominal".
Reactor online, sensors online, weapons online, all systems nominal !
It's like "Stand by for Titanfall", but better.
I had that as my Windows boot up sound. Like 25 years ago
Titanfall 2 really raised the bar for how good it can feel to pilot a mech. Also, one of my favorites from when I was a kid was Shogo Mobile Armor Division. That game was awesome and really underrated!
I really want a titanfall game that sells and keeps a playerbase bette than cod and battlefield. They really deserve it's really sad they all die so fast.
Oh man, Shogo MAD was so overlooked. A real gem of it's time. I think it happened to Slave Zero too, another great time.
Holy shit, what a fucking throwback with Shogo! Forgot all about that one!
Shogo was AMAZING!!!
Shogo is one of the best out there
I think Mech Warrior 2 came with my IBM Aptiva 133 when I was like 13, I loved that game! I loved Go-Bots too!
Anyone remember Armoured core 4? That was a wicked game
Still have 1 and 2 for the ps1, still good though they have some bugs
Legit 4 is my fav of the franchise. I wish they would be backwards compatible... I'd love to do some blading duels again haha
So sick of poor AI.
I can remember when developers were bragging about the ai they created .
Seems like game devs do not care about ai anymore which ruins immersion .
Tired of whack a mole gaming .
Agreed it's sad that games that were released 10+ years ago have better ai than most games now.
AI has never been all that good, people are just better at spotting it nowadays.
@@shinryusaiha oh look, I found the pissed fan boy. The enemies literally froze up in the air. You can't really defend that mate. It's just shitty AI.
@@hombreg1 Then again, after playing years of MW:O, i would say the AI acts as shitty as humans tend to do. So maybe its TOO good. ;)
cus it's all about gfx these days, eww make it purdy, nobody cares about the technical side, AI or mission structure etc
I mean more universally, to me games like GTA and RDR are just more graphically impressive than they are enjoyable at least to me...
Halo 4 and 5 also look impressive visually but are vapid from a story POV and most modern games are like this
Just an fyi for people passing through, if you hit "o" while in your mech you can bypass the overheating shut down but it does damage your own mech by bypassing the emergency shutdown from overheating.
Have a good one yall~
Man your reviews are always excellent, but with your recent ones it's like their evolving. loving it how your add more humour, more of your personality and now game facts in top left. excellent work man.
You'll no doubt have another video put out before hand, but if not, have a merry fucking Christmas man 👍🤘
We really could do with a new Mech Commander game.
Play Battletech the Video Game. Its literally in the same universe with the same mechs, just using the original name.
Mechcommander is an rts, and it was good
Ha, you are in luck. It was released as a mod last week.
@@RapidFyrez Battletech however plays completely differently.
Don't tell a man hankering for a steak to just eat pasta.
Short answer: SKIP until its not Epic exclusive.
Yeah, it seems a bit basic for wanting it right now.
I use Galaxy 2.0 now for my entire game library so I can care less about sticking to one storefront since all my libraries are compiled into one location .
@@chrisgibson8863 Weird to point out that you can care less. Are you trying to say that you care way too much about this sort of thing and that's why you think you could care less. Or maybe you're trying to say you only care a little bit but you could always care even less...or maybe... I'm just guessing here. Maybe you mean that you couldn't care less.
Honestly I don't know. But I probably could care a little bit less about it.
You know, in the grand scheme of things.
@@SkelNeldory I'm glad you brought that up actually. Literally not a second has gone by since I wrote those words that I have not thought about clarifying the intent of my statement.
To answer I think we first have to evaluate our definition of "caring". Keep in mind this is our own individual definition of the word and the meaning behind it. What does it mean to you? What does it mean to me? What does it's meaning to you mean to me? What does it's meaning to me mean to you?
Perhaps most importantly we have to ask ourselves, what led us to ask the question to begin with? Now I say "us" but do I really mean that? How much of you did I have in mind when I asked the question?
That really brings us to the root of it doesn't? The epicenter of our discussion. Now speaking of that I apologize for keeping this so centered on my own thoughts, feelings, ideas and branching beliefs.
As a matter of fact as we begin to broach this area I think it's important to hold close to what brought us to this discussion to begin with, this meeting ground, this table of mutual respect we both find ourselves sitting at.
Respect, that's really what's important isn't it? Sometimes I get accused of being to concise in my statements and I think I am guilty of doing just that here. Respect. When we keep respect in mind we can really accomplish anything. You have value, you are important. But I do wonder if I am being far to self centered with regards to making such a blanketed statement about you. Are you important because I am wielding my own sense of importance to bestow that title upon you? Do I have that kind of power ?
Power... Power and control. Two essential pieces to the puzzle that we both find ourselves wrapped up with at this very moment. A puzzle of your choosing or mine? Now to answer that I think we have to move towards a question that has existed since the dawn of time. Who are we really?
I would like to answer that with a question
It is now available on consoles!
Epic Game Store exclusive for a year? Best time to buy is in a year obviously.
Don't, wait for a sale but don't spend more than 15 bucks for it. The game has a massive list of problems.
@@EnterpriseKnight Plus Epic is not very likely to put a game on sale as long as it has exclusivity rights. Why would they? It's not like we can get it anywhere else yet.
EPIC is good !!!
on pc gamepass today
@@MindAtLarge010 Was just coming here to say this! Downloading it as we speak
Solid review, just what I was looking for: a review by someone who isn't a complete battletech/mechwarrior fanatic. So many of the hardcores are way too biased to review this game fairly and point out the warts, or the shiny spots so thank you for doing both.
I want to play it but I can wait for Steam release.
So early I can still catch a whiff of that new-mech smell.
god I love the smell of burning mech in the morning....that rich ozone & diesel smell, smells like.....victory
lolz
'Mechs are powered by fusion engines, pal. No diesel, no nothing with carbon chains. What you smell burning... is probably just some wiring and a very small piece of meat.
@@GewalfofWivia ever see Apocalypse Now?? my joke fits
@@GewalfofWivia Depends on what era of mechwarrior you operate in. ICE engine mechs are actually a thing, iirc.
@@lord6617 I mean... industrial mechs have ices, but unless you're in Dark Age, I'm pretty sure they're never actually used
One can never get enough of Lucy Liu...
Hold up, where Lucy Liu??
Yeah I lost pretty bad @ "They just start SHAKING around like that dude from Jacob's ladder" LMAO Man that's a F'ing trippy movie.
Now I just need a mod to let me use my Steel Battalion controller in the game. Hopefully in a year when the real release drops it'll be ready.
@@mementomori771 The Epic Store
@@mementomori771 no it's not. It doesn't even exist until it's on steam.
didn't russ bollocks say that there won't be a steam release? or was that just for people who backed for this game to happen even though he promised steam keys in writing?
@@FerrickAnima russ is a piece of shit. He lost thousands of preorders when people found out that Russ sold out to epic games. We want this game on steam. Not any other platform.
@@FerrickAnima It doesn't have to be on Steam exactly (GoG would be fine), but if they're retarded enough to never release it on any PC platform other than Epic I'm just gonna pirate it. Because fuck Epic and fuck Epic exclusives.
All this mech action has me itching for some new miniatures.
Lucy Liu rubbing someone's head? Something I didn't know I needed until I saw it...
First time I've ever heard one of your reviews. I'm very impressed. You speak quickly enough to keep things moving but your diction is excellent. Well done!
This looks like a ton of fun, thanks for the review ACG!
By far the most enjoyable and informative review of this game só far. Karak does it again.
When he got to the part about mission planning i thought he was showing footage from the recent Battletech game.
Awesome review very in depth! Been on the fence about this game nice to see a proper review!
I did enjoy trying this fast mech with jumpjets that i made into a perfect Masterchief mech complete with an autorifle type looking weapon but i still enjoy the slower heavier mechs more and slowly creaking along through canyons feeling like an unstoppable colossus.
When you included Lucy Liu in Charlie's Angels rubbing someone's head, I felt that
There’s grass. Never seen grass in a mech game.
It's also as tall as a bigfoot
Wait until you see the first drop ship land and take off and notice those square sprites that are supposed to represent debris. :-(
Someones never played titan fall
@@slothonmercury titans are this series version of battle armor. These are mechs. No comparison
Great review! Really dig the style thanks for the work!
Ahaha, shout out to the lotus mention, mate, loved it!
this is a definitely buy, when it's properly released and patched in 6(?) months i think.
so pretty much just wait for the steam release
Give it a year... It's Piranha Games.
Plus you may get it on Steam then...
Yeah, 1 year unfortunately... probably get it however you can, then buy on Steam.
@@jong2359 oh, i am seeding every exclusive on epic (that has been cracked) indefinitely, even if i end up buying some of the titles :) i just don't need to pirate for myself, i can pay for some of the things i enjoy.
Gerry6336
&
Ashmodai waiting for it on steam was exactly what i meant when i said "properly released and patched" :D
Ill wait for steam then. If they add the ability to punch with a banshee.
nope. still no melee interaction. but be prepared for your lrm ppc build AI to go face huge something with his 1 machine gun.
Cool review, i've heard you before, from my unc maybe, while over at his house, you're thorough, you sound like a perfectionist, i like it.
Soooo, it’s Battletech, only different perspective. Love it!! Used to play MechWarrior all the time. Pumped to play this. Thanks for the awesome review
I've been itching to hear what you had to say about this. From what people said about the Beta made me nervous.
After the beta and shitty ui, heres hoping that a modding scene develops.
He pretty much confirmed what I was seeing, not a terrible game but lots that can be improved.
with Piranha - it's all about the MTX .. I just can't trust them after MWO and the fact it's Epic store exclusive, this will just be a budget next year when it's cheap game.
Ian H just saw article that stated the game you buy is the game you get one and done deal, might have been pc gamer I am not 100 percent on that. I’m still skeptical tbh
I can only say this. The game has MORE than enough stuff that its considered complete now. Anything else will be true DLC
We can only hope there is good mod support for this, because it looks like it can have a ton of potential.
@@ACGreviews The only addition it needs is refund with additional money included for wasting our time and getting our hopes up...shill
there is
Love your stuff man, and this is awesome - and MW2? Yup, grew up on that.
Can I just take a minute to thank you for this review. As of rn December 12th no one that I've seen has really dived into this game for in in depth review. Like ign doing there short lil things they do and gameranx(love Jake and those guys haha) doing a quick one to wrap up for the holidays. I've been staring at this game debating on if I should get it or not so this is much appreciated!!
Fuuuuck when he mentioned chrome hounds it brought me back
That game was great untill we found out you could just win every match without even fighting the enemy.. just lob artilery on all possible base spawn points and win
That Lucy Liu meme dude, I needed that. Thanks.
Oh that ending . . hmm you got me there
head rubbing helps!
Extra points for that Robot Jox shoutout
Damn I love these reviews, the level of detail and effort put into them is why you're the only reviewer I trust.
ive been playing mechwarrior for thirty years, and finally being able to walk around outside the mech is so thrilling...so far i just played the tutorial level, but im digging it so far
This is on console now....havnt played mechwarrior in about 18 years. So hyped
THE. MINUTE. you mentioned Robot Jox… I liked this video
Even if I'm not interested in the game I still watch your review videos.it's the entertainment factor and how much thought and time you put into these that draws me in. Plus being a longtime MechWarrior fan this was a no-brainer to watch
I just can't wait to use my HOTAS to play this game. Just like I did wayyyyy back when Mechwarrior 2 and 3 were around.
Some of my favorites
Hold yer horses matey. Demo didn't support any kind of HOTAS.
Thank God it's a single player game and I don't have to get matched with people attempting to aim with a joystick like mwo lol
Sadly keyboard and mouse is superior in this and MWO. It's not like the earlier mechwarrior games
@@GhostCow from what I recall, keyboard and mouse has always worked better. Especially mouse aiming. MW3 especially as well. I remember MW2 +Mercs having bad mouse support in general, so it makes sense to me that after perfecting it, it's more attuned to a mouse. That being said, hell yeah I want better HOTAS support for this. (Apparently it's bad)
I've never played a Mechwarrior in my life. All I remember is that this was one of the games I wanted to play so fucking badly as a kid, but I had no money even though we did have a PC back at home. Ended up forgetting about the franchise when I grew up, kinda sad.
And now this one is EPIC exclusive for a year. A year from now and I might just forget about the franchise again.
Respect for the review 😎 but I have to mention at the beginning with the list of big mech games I cried when you forgot to mention armored core 😂
Been waiting for this one for awhile
Really hope we get Clan invasion DLC at some point. I think the game timeline goes til just before 2049 and first Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere
I honestly feel like thats the way we are going
The only way they wouldn't release Clan Invasion DLC is if they (Piranha Games) either a) Want to prove their incompetence literally knows no bounds or b) They want to make a full release and milk us for more c-bills (and Epic for more exclusivity deals)
3049* ;p
Please no, clan nonsense ruins every version of Battletech.
Thanks for your great reviews, as always. Sad to see that it the game isn't a banger, I have been a big BT fan for almost 20 years now. I would have loved to see them hitting it out of the park. But I will admit, I kinda expected them to struggle with a good AI (MW 4 or Mercs also have a pretty bad one but those games are also old)
That roast on Marshal was actually pretty good. Thumbs up
Got a like just because he mentioned "Robo Jox"
You said it dude! Love all 3 of those movies!
Chainsaw crotch FTW!
I'm just going to play the battle tech heavy metal expansion till this release on steam.
Really needed this. My joystick is ready :)
I might just have to pick up a good HOTAS setup and just throw myself right in. I loved mechwarrior 2 back in the day and now that same feel is in the 21st century.
I wish Front Mission games got remade. I loved loading out my mechs and playing chess. Lol
HBS's Battletech is probably the closest to that. I have it with the Season Pass and am still playing it 800 hours later. I am a huge Battletech fan though so that is a part of that as well :).
That said, I also have Front Mission 3 and 4 so I am a fan of that type of play. I would love to see a remake of one of those or a new entry in the series all together.
I think it comes down to one thing. Are you obsessed with mechwarrior/ battle tech ? Then your gonna love it.
Yea I hate to admit it, this is the first game I bought on EPIC. I told myself I should just wait until it comes out on steam but I'm such a hardcore fan of the old MechWarriors and I loved Battle Tech that came out last year, I just had to buy it.
The shoutouts to mech games of the past and not a single mention of any of the Armored Core entries hurts my soul
Oooh...Pirhania GAMES. For a couple minutes there I thought about Pirhania BYTES and was amazed that they went so much outside their niche comfort zone
Thanks Karak....i was going through ACG withdrawal you and lucy lu were just what I needed. Great review like always.
armored core spoiled me i want more mech games. This looks decent to try
That’s why I’m here, did you play it? How was it ?
Thank you for the review, Karak.
This reminds me of Mech Warrior 1 the best Mech game ever, loving it man! Super Happy they added coop too, potential to be the best mech game ever and goty candidate.
13:40 OMG quanta jokes?! I'm in lurve
I don’t even have a PC. Just watched for another stellar review 👍🏼
Wait..what about Earthsiege! That was a great game put out by Sierra, i think. Who remembers that?
"That's like hoping your McDonalds wages is gonna cover that sweet Lotus you saw down at the car lot" @11:25 lol
12:15 Comparing the game's AI to a pair of underwear bought on Ebay that GnR drummer Steven Adler shat in was hilarious!
So would you say the maintenance and travel system is just like Battletech recent release? Seems so to me.. which mean not as steep a learning curve for BT players...good job as always..... also can you use environmental conditions to limit or exacerbate heat sinks
what a wordsmith !! Best reviews all the time!! :) Thanks!!
The world looks freaking massive..are there really that many places you can go?
Did any of you guys have the Steel Batallion controller, or know anyone that had it?
So this is pretty much exactly what I expected from the release of this game, a bit of effort across the board but no polish. Great review as always, will take your advice and wait for a sale.
Hopeing that future stuff would add us participating in the clanwars and able to pilot their battlemechs
Mech warrior was my first vidoe game I ever played. I got to play it on my dads original Xbox seeing that image of the cougar took me back. Miss that game, still have the original game disc and cover it came in.
Robot Jox reference!! Yes, I love that movie!
I know I thought I was the only one who remembered that movie lol. Haven’t seen it since I had it on VHS.
I caught the reference as well! I remember seeing that movie in theaters.
Bring Chrome Hounds back!
This is true
@@ACGreviews and/or Phantom Crash.
Mech games are a lost art like tactical RPGs. The best of both worlds was Front Mission 4 by square enix. Ever play?
Good review. Have the game, but haven't played much yet. Your issues with it are the same issues that have plagues all the Piranha MW games. I hope they continue to refine this one. It is a game that us MW fans have been waiting a really long time for. Thanks again for the review, always appreciated.
Grab a couple of mods... better spawns, better laser effects, and realistic ballistic velocities. Makes a good game great!
Will really come into its own if they do a clan invasion dlc. I want my Vapor Eagle 3 and advanced tactical missiles.
And I am here like.. "Where is Mech Commander 3?" *sad pandaface*
Mr Gent it’s called battletech
@@chimpman3496 Not really. That is like saying battletech is mechwarrior 4.5
They are in the same universe all 3. but mech commander 1 and 2 are a different game than battletech.
mech commander 1and 2 are rts, mechwarrior 1-5 are first/3rd person shooters and battletech is tbs.
Same universe, different game series.
Try the mw5 rts mod!
I don't think I've ever heard ACG sound this enthusiastic about any game before
I mean, we're talking about giant robots with guns lol
@@lucasZr113 but he said wait for sale :( BAH!
Fun review. Used to enjoy this series, may pick it up at some point.
This is the first video I've ever seen from this channel and I'm subbing based on the Eminem vs Nick Cannon rap battle joke alone
So its literally just Battletech again but a realtime shooter. Nice.
Talking about the love of giant robots and no mention of Gundam, Zone of the Enders, or Armored Core. Tsk tsk.
Different thing. Mechas are nimble and aesthetically pleasing. Battlemechs are lumbering weapons platforms on legs.
@@derek96720 Listen, all mechs deserve love. Even if I'm more on the mecha camp. lol
I was informed by MW2 as a kid, as an adult I tried Armored Core. It spent 15 minutes in my house and was promptly returned to gamestop. My point is that for some, these are not analogous titles.
You had me at Robot Jox
Voice actor here with just about four years of experience.
I always apply to these companies best as I can through whatever means necessary (no agency or anything - sad fuckin times) because I always feel like if they want REAL voice acting, I can deliver that. I always ask those with really wooden voices too.. cause they clearly got the wrong bunch.
Oho, been waiting to see what you thought about this game. It was an automatic refund and wait for sale when they switched to Epic midway. Halo, POE2 and DOS2 will keep me busy till 2077 drops.
This game runs like shit and no SLI support.
@@chrisalagar7662 I've been seeing reports of other graphics quality and optimization issues. Hopefully patches will soon remedy this.
