Tom Clancy's The Division 2 - The Review (2019)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.พ. 2025
- In 2019, we expect our Live Service games to launch broken and incomplete. The Division 2 bucks this trend - big time. But The Division 2 isn't great because it's functional and complete; it's great because it's an honest to goodness step forward for the genre. It sets a new standard that I am sure Looter Shooters (and Live Services in general) will follow for many years to come.

Nice job
Owo
Skill Up I know this will be good, thanks for the constant reviews with no bias 👏🏽👏🏽
@@khalilplaya6158 no bias! What about his bias! Dumb ass!
the music in this game is fucking insane bruv
Fun fact: Tom Clancy's research into the military was so extensive that he was interrogated by federal agents at least once. This was due to Tom having included details on classified military technology in one of his novels. The feds thought he was a potential spy or had illegally gained access to classified material. In reality, Tom had achieved something even more incredible: he speculated the existence of the technology entirely through unclassified, publicly available information. His guess was so accurate that the feds thought he had actual information on classified tech. That man was dedicated to his craft.
Those conspiracy theories for his death isn’t much of a stretch, are they?
@@NoobPTFO Never really heard conspiracy theories about him. Care to share?
@@the_real_Kurt_Yarish guess he did care
Kurt Yarish I believe the simplest conspiracy is the cause of his death. Y’know: knowing too much or possibly giving away government secrets.
His name is not Tom Clancy, smartass.
You know your reviews are good when people (myself) have no intention of buying the game, yet watch the whole video as if it's a 1995 history channel documentary on WWII, and look forward to the next.
Same
I. Love the segues into other games and media and the comparisons. It really helps bring perspective and makes this review a truly critical review.
U need to buy the game, it's that good
Same
Yeah, I didn't care for the Beta, but here I am watching.
I watched this review during Anthem loading screens.
Perfict time to woch;)!
1 min loading time to get into freeplay or those 2 mins from starting to getting into the game? Or those 10 sec to get into a cave?
@@TheConfigurat0r I'm glad I have a good PC because that would be too much.
@@TheConfigurat0r or how bout a load screen to just look at your gear? Shit you can't even place a waypoint on the map and they couldn't even bother to make a stat screen to view your stats. It's a game all about stats but they don't even let you know what they are!
😂😂😂😂
I am currently lvl 20, this game has put me through the ringer. It has been a long time since I’ve had trouble staying alive in a game. I tried playing like Rambo or a one man army but nope the enemies will shit on you. One of my favorite moments was when I was flanking and my friend was suppressing them. One AI yells “they are flanking!” Then another says “yeah I see him!” That shit made me drop a load in my pants. Such an amazing game so far.
I guess you like bullet sponge enemies that kill you with two shots at best.
@@Kingstyles05 Get good scrub
@@greenghost2212 Sorry but I'm a gamer. You're the scrub. I've been able to accomplish things that less than 1% percent of gamers have been able to accomplish in most games.
Good Networking were those NPCs True Sons?
@@Kingstyles05 yet you can't figure out how The Division works. Yeah, scrub indeed good sir. Even me, who hasn't accomplished things 99% other gamers can't, I can survive in the division 2 and kill enemies with less than 10 bullets on average for reds. (hell in Division 1, I only needed 1 bullet to down red enemies at world rank 5, it's all about how you approach combat by friend))
I wonder what skill up's book reports were like in school
teacher be like 6th page into the report, "ok, you made your point, take this A- and stop making these so long."
SKillUp: "Just an A-? Well let me revise it them, I can cite additional references toss in a few actual interviews and extend the paper by about 500-1000 words more so i can further prove relating to the timeline set by the book to the real world event it's referring to--"
Teacher: "Never MIND! A+ It's good okay? Let me eat my lunch now 0.0"
Not very good if he became a second rate vlogger

If you look closely you can see his gears grinding trying to adjust and direct the pace and general direction after his co host heads when chasing the joke.
Being long-winded is not the same as being intelligent.
@@ChrisJohannsen that is true but his reviews are always perfectly laid out, eloquently spoken, and overall excellently done in my opinion. If you don't like long reviews go watch ign.

Your reviews belong on Netflix
They can be in the 'Naval Documentaries' category
Romantic Naval Review category
Did not expect to see you here lol
If Explained can be on Netflix, it's a moral obligation to include SkillUp Reviews. Wouldn't it be totally insane to watch one of these reviews just saturated with cinematic references (especially naval ones) and be able to quickly watch them in the same app with little effort?!? Why is this not a thing?!?
You're
i stopped playing the game to watch a 1 hr review about that game. today was a weird day.
same here hahaa
I know this may not be seen, but every single enemy in this game can be shutdown with 1 round to specific weakpoints, such as minigun elites, shoot the ammo belt and it will force them into a very long reload animation. Shoot the riotfoam true sons in the chemical storage and will stop them from firing and root them. You can shoot grenades out of the air, shoot the enemy throwing the grenade just before throwing it and they will drop it and kill themselves etc. Imo the bullet sponginess can easily be avoided with game knowledge and aiming.
Yup, I thnk to many people are approaching it like its COD vs the cover based shooter it is. Ive noticed as well shooting around the sides of cover VS over the top decreases enemy hit rate dramatically as well, at times making some battles much easier, just whip out a sniper rifle and smack em in the dome!
Played the game recently. While I'd say its true you can shut down most enemies with a shot to their weak points, its just not effective enough. Grenades are hard to shoot down from the air when there are like 5 enemies all shooting at you, amoured enemies tend to not have very obvious weakspots and the best way to finish every enemy off is still the same as Div 1, grab the most accurate and stable AR with the best extend mag and head shot dmg boosts and just shoot at their heads, amoured or not. And not every enemy dies via a weakpoint destruction like in the Div 1.
IV just started playing TD2 base game, thank you so much for that info bro, that's gonna make life so much easier ha ha. Top man.
It's almost as if they don't want you to just shoot blindly but actually try to aim and think about threat management
@Look Yeah, but the problem is its a totally unrealistic shooter in every way that even COD does better gunplay and weapon damage! TD and TD2 are just overly massive grind-fests with such nerfed everything and overly bullet sponge enemies...you can't even really use cover as intended cause your enemies require so many rounds and your weapons aren't viable much. Ubi did quite nicely on Wildlands and BP, even though they're not really a real Tom Clancy game, but the weapons felt great and very useful and the AI had actual realistic weak points. TD and TD2 is just a dumpster fire BECAUSE of the nerfs they implemented, not because of the game itself. On its base, it's a solid game.
SkillUp: *starts video talking about Tom Clancy*
Me: "Huh, this game must've been amazing."
Sadly mistaken
@@Kingstyles05 what?
But it's not. Yeah good opening I gotta say !

Something about ships and coke?
That's actually not a bad idea.

I've been flanked 5 times just while watching this review.
Same here I got killed on a control point and didn't bother to respawn because I wanted to pay attention to this review
they love flanking don't they....
My favorite is #13
...and rushing you.
YOU JUST KILLED A TRUE SON!!!!!
Gungan only 5 times?
Hey Skill Up, think you could do part 2 sometime soon? We’re 2 raids, 1 expansion, 3 episodes, and 2 seasons overdue, my man!
it's very common for him to skip part 2's or part 3's of his reviews
@Nathan he be busy
@@alexs_toy_barn we dont even know if he ever played division again after the expansion sadly
Lmao he won’t. He knows damn well how terrible this game has been treated by UBI and how terrible it turned out. Between the season 1 year pass disasters. Meh updates and then just basically kill Fay lau and being like lol just die. It’s very clear ubi has moved on from this game
@@xXFallout2 earnings call already confirmed division is getting content all the way until 2022. Its possible another expansion or something is on the way with all the silence. same thing happened last year, since ubisoft doesn't allow massive to talk about upcoming content until they tell them they can.
This needs to be updated severly, the game has become the very thing it wanted to innovate.
over time more and more bullet spongey or broken BS lol
i think the new expansion along with the loot 2.0 really bought the game back. It's just my opinion, the manhunt events got me hooked on the game again.
My old set up are obsolete but it's better than having nothing to do
@Char Aznable you really are a hater arent you? 3 consecutive comments with negative nancy shit from you. just chill dude!
@Mr. Kasshu It was to me. I've put in around 1000 hours so far and even after completing all of the current content, I have the next manhunt to look forward to.
I waited patiently for this review and it did not disappoint. I've seen many reviews and impressions of The Division 2... but SkillUp, good sir, you always seem to touch on all the things that the others do and often don't. You touched on aspects of this game that I'm disappointed others did not and it made the anticipation for this review (at least half of it, since its only part 1, lol) well worth it. Even in times I might not agree, though often that is few-if any, I find myself respecting your work regardless of what side of the field we stand on. I don't comment on TH-cam videos, but I wanted to step outside of my comfort zone and if this message ever reaches you, I just want to say...
Thank you, keep doing what you do.
Cheers mate
Do you purposefully try to make all other game reviewers look bad. If so, it's working!
Thank you for your attention to detail and depth of focus on all these games that we love.
i know right ?? hes fucking amazing .
His reviews are good but I dont know if I trust them. He said Metro Exodus was amazing and after playing 5 hours of it I can say that it isnt. Jim Sterling did a more honest review of it
@@BillClinton228 His reviews based on his opinion, if you didn't like the game it doesn't mean he's not honest
@@BillClinton228 Welcome to the internet, rule number one: an opinion is not a fact. Thank you! :)
@@BillClinton228 you need to learn how Opinions work....
Did anyone else pause the video at the start, make a full dinner, pour themselves an ice-cold beverage, sit back down at their computer and press play?
Because I did. And it was fucking worth it. Looking forward to doing the same with Part 2!
Same here 😁
I...I picked up some Mc Donalds.
Not really. Did all of that before I saw it.
Had pizza but yes, same concept. Great experience lol.
Fast forwarded to gsmeplay, watched for a while and then skiped to the end. Meh, bloated review
Love how you start the video with a bio on Tom Clancy! Your review is like 3 or 4 short documentaries all rolled into 1, so informative, so you 👍
This review is absolutely spot on. You identify exactly the distinctive features which make the game fun and define its experience. Your turn of phrase is enviably fine. Outstanding.
Anyway one thing that's fascinating about the publishing of Tom Clancy's The Division 2 - The Review (2019) is that the fans demanded that a whole 5 minutes be removed from the video, because it was simply too much Tom Clancy backstory. The video was filled with minute details about Tom Clancy and Ronald Reagan. This sort of background just wasn't a feature of game reviews back at the time. TH-camrs believed that viewers just wanted to see the graphics, or the gameplay.
Nice
that was incredibly well played of you. congrats
Came for the Boat Reference, Stayed for the Intelligent Aussy Voice.
I’ve put 35 hours into The Division 2 and have very much enjoyed it. Bravo Ubisoft. You did good. Proud of you...
NOW PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER GOD DAMN SPLINTER CELL!!!
Critical Nobody I actually really enjoyed your look back at the Splinter Cell series, I just so happened upon your comment lol
Rookie numbers
This is one of the most well-thought out and insightful pieces of content on this entire channel. Absolute joy of a video essay from start to finish. Looking forward to part two.
Whenever I am unsure about a game, I come straight to your channel to see if you’ve reviewed it.
I love the fact your reviews are so in-depth and cover every portion of the game, even its flaws. Despite your love for a game or genre, you give the most unbiased review and give each game a chance.
I’ve been following you since your channel blew up after Warframe: The Review. Thank you for all your reviews and content man! We appreciate you! :)
Watching someone else's review then see a notification of skill Up review. Leave current video grab some popcorn and a soda and cast it on TV for another wonderful cinematic experience that I throughly enjoy.
this is what I did, no joke!
This was an excellent history lesson with another spectacular well-written review. Thanks for another great one, good sir!
Demavend hi big turtle
But ifit were mandalors voice it be even better
can't agree more.
You know something? You have fantastically well-written pieces, whether I agree or not. A 52 minute review? Sure, I'll watch yours. But there are other well-spoken, well-written, well-edited videos on a variety of topics on the Youtubz these days. What do I find oddly impressive about your videos?
Simple...It's that you time your video out to match the ads interspersed in there. 5 commercial breaks, and not ONE of them interrupt you mid-syllable. I wish the rest of the TH-camrs out there cared enough about their end product to pay attention to that one little detail.
Nicely done, as always, Shillup
This game was definitely the best in the "looter shooter" genre, and honestly just a great rpg overall. Massive made a great game, it's a shame ubisoft didn't put more resources into frequent updates and content drops for the division 2.
Really? I feel if anything there's been too much content. We just got word of year 5 of content with new seasons, a new expansion early next year and a endgame rework also coming soon. Most ubi games only last 2 years yet were on year 5. Kudos to Massive and ubisoft
Division 2 has dark zone
Destiny 2 has its special thing
Anthem has loading screens and technical issues LOL
Destiny 2 had Crucible, Gambit, and the Last Wish raid
Dark zone is dead in d2
*Ralph starts talking about watercraft*
Buckle in boys, this is gonna take a while.
I was so impressed with your back story on Tom Clancy. Well done on this review
You’ve honestly got an amazing talent for reviews and speaking in general. It feels like I’m listening to the most knowledgeable person in the world😭
good review love how you used the "history will remember us" quote at the end. good review skillup
Just picked it up for $5 on ps store... This review makes me feel this is the best $5 I've spent in my entire life 😂
You are probably the best game reviewer of all time.
The more I watch this review, the more painful it gets to think Destiny 2 ditched everything Destiny 1 had built over its lifespan at launch.
Amen
Omg yes! I left Destiny 2 after playing it for roughly 3 weeks. Never came back even though I hear good things about it nowadays, I just feel too burnt by Bungo to go back. They lied to me for the last time with Destiny 2. I still go back and play Destiny 1 when I’m bored, even just last week I was on Destiny and was amazed at how many people are still playing and how many new players there are.
Now the Division is takin up all my free time (the little I have). It’s an amazing game and couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
Like you said, if only Destiny 2 had shipped in this type of polished state
Can you imagine if forsaken was our launch content?? Man it would be in a much better place.
Peck Is a Bot I don’t think anyone is saying it’s an absolutely perfect game (at least I haven’t seen it) however it is the best launched game that I can think of in the past few years.
@@paulallen-01 Never go back. It's watered-down trash even at it's best.
Skill Up is like the Tom Clancy of video game reviewers I swear.
If you mean Division then yeah. Rainbow six siege is on a whole other level
Skill up is actually the dark souls of game reviews
It's been 4 months. When can we check part 2 of your review ;)
He’s probably holding it back a bit cause of the decline
I'm constantly surprised how good your reviews are man!
I honestly think that this is your best review so far SkillUp, so many valid points, so many good references, so many curiosities. Thank you Skill, i remamber when i subbed to your channel during Division 1 launch, i couldnt expect there you will grow to such a respected channel. I'm kinda proud how u developed.
All these years I thought Tom Clancy was an ex Marine badass Frank Castle type soldier who went on to become an author and he was just an insurance salesman?!!! The things you don't know. 😂😂😂
He was supposed to join the Army Reserves Officer Training Corps, but can't due to his nearsightedness.
Wow I love the history at the beginning. This might be my favorite game review ever. Well done. Well done indeed.
The 31:00 minute mark.... Wow now THERE is an intro that takes me back..... way back! Excellent review SkillUp as always. Really enjoy and appriciate your content. Keep on keeping on good buddy.
2:10 Careful ShillUp, your Laymen is showing.

Check out these guys, some are big, some are small. All are very very good at what they do.
Writing on games: essays
Super eyepatch wolf: gaming discussions, reviews and other media coverage. Good voice to listen to.
Special moves: funny welsh lads, used to be a part of pgg and started their own thing with a very unique identity.
Raycevick: essays and retrospectives. Canadian.
Emceephophit: mostly niche games and gaming themed discussions.
Joseph Anderson: makes hour long video essays about single topics. Feels like a discussion with a friend about a single subject.
Matthewmatosis: may have butchered spelling. Really focuses on the breakdown of mechanics.
Adam Millard, gaming architect: mechanics discussions.
Extra credits: all kinds of gaming bits and pieces.
Probably forgetting some great ones but I'm sure looking at these will lead you to other great
Ubisoft The Division 2 has nothing to do with the work Ralph does with these reviews. It's true crap what Ubisoft feeds ppl with.. and ppl waste their time with.
He basically just rips off Marco and Ralph’s reviews and changes some of the clips.
Cleanprincegaming didn't just die. He was murdered!
DMC5, The Division 2 and Sekiro in consecutive weeks. Gonna be very hard to top this March for game releases
Has been pasing only 3 months this year and already we have around 6 or 8 very fucking excellent AAA games. The industry is finally taking away they bullshit monetization priority to actually make fun and remarkable products
Yeah. Good for gaming. Bad for my wallet. :(
I think that's a good thing. Especially if we get even better months in this year to come.
I still await the dmc5 review where he confesses that dmc is a good series.
Capcom, Ubisoft, and From redefining fun games with minimal or zero mtx. 2019 is a great year for gaming
Kid: can I buy Division 2
Mom: we have division at home

Dude you make some great content. This is the first video of yours I’ve watched and wow, just wow. The amount of detail alone that you put into this is amazing. The first 6 minutes alone had me hooked. When I first saw the length I was like “no way I’m watching an hour long review”. 52 minutes later I’m writing this comment and all I want to do is applaud. I look forward to watching more of your content.
Good review as always. I can never understand how I can be entertained from an hour long video review about a game that I already have played but you nail it every time
Since you've also played the game, what's your opinion on the story? Skill's review has me excited to get a copy in the future, but coming out the gate and saying he thought the story was weak and underdeveloped makes me wonder if I'd be frustrated by the excellent gameplay because it would lack any meaningful context.
saintallison I would say skillup is right. I skipped all cutscenes and hardly knew any of the characters. But that honestly didn’t bother me. There’s so much content and so many things to do the strength of the narrative didn’t matter to me. The complexities of the gameplay and the massive amount of content had and kept me hooked
Been waiting for this.
Also Part 2 is cancelled.
Edit: OMG SURVIVAL WHAT YES PLEASE
The year is 1998 and I've been engrossed with Tom Clancy's Rainbow SIx on PC. Noticing the book on my grandfathers shelf, he expressed his enjoyment of the type of story telling and since then I've been a fan of anything Tom Clancy.
You know, I crapped on this game before its release because my expectations were so low for this game. So I'm happy that I'm wrong and I'll definitely pick up this game in the future.
Who's back here after the next-gen update? This is gonna be blast to play on my couch!
Just started playing on the One X in 4k and wishing I had that 60fps! Enjoy
@@nigeljoycey5644 yeah I am still waiting for my PS5. I just finished the campaign on PS4Pro at 30fps :-( and bought the DLC.
Everything you do is in depth, articulate and yet somehow interesting. Thank you for the time and energy you invest in each of your vids because each one is worth watching.
Ok after this review I am certain... Skill Up is the best game reviewing channel on TH-cam.

@@lordofdarkness4204 This post, need I say more?
ACG is up there with him
Part 1 of 2 parts and it's 52 minutes long. And there's not one single word thatyou say that isn't meaningful. You're probably the best reviewer on TH-cam, keep it up.
Dayuum, a masterpiece as usual. Wasn't expecting to watch the whole thing, but my curiosity was peaked to see if our views lined up. The review reinforces everything I love about this game and I can't wait to jump back in to appreciate it even more. 21:32 "Of all the looters I have ever played, the world of Washington DC is the most ripe for exploration and just getting lost in it." Today I randomly found the botanical gardens and eventually found the little courtyard buried in the building and couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with the same sentiment... for the 100th time. I sure miss NY sometimes but the depth of WDC is incredible. 35:15 "[The enemies] were dumb meat sacks and *you* would dictate the rhythm of combat, not them." Spot on. This has been an adjustment from TD1, but a welcome one that I'm just beginning to appreciate.
Anecdotally, besides some early-hours laggy/choppy/frame dropping moments on the One X, it has been otherwise totally flawless in performance and WDC is absolutely gorgeous. An enormous step up to how poorly NYC ran on the Xbox One.
fast becoming the only person i trust for a good review, was always going to get this game but i love how spot on you are about it.
What about ACG?
You forgot to mention the amazing soundtrack/score!
Cheers for the review, agreed on every single point you've made!
Exactly, he once mentioned about how he likes d1 's soundtrack and I waited on his thought on this 2nd one
I have checked TH-cam at least twice a day since this game came out for this video. Thanks.
Thank you for doing a great job with editing in your ad breaks. It is nice not getting a sentence or paragraph interrupted. It’s a little thing that makes a huge difference.
im 31 Hours in im Level 26, because i get so sidetracked by the smallest things that Encourage me to Explore and i Love it! im looking forward to Endgame and the Future Content if they Keep up the Quality of the Main Game
This game had a lot of ups and downs but 1000 hours later im still playing it.
Is it worth jumping into in 2024

*Jeep ad ensues*
Given that I go to DC several times a year for work and spend a fair amount of time in the metro area, I was honestly floored by how well they mapped things out. Especially the Aerospace museum, that thing is near perfection to how that museum is laid out/rendered. I rarely care about graphics and whatnot but this game was a real surprise for the amount of detail used.
Bought the game a week ago, I'm here for the journalism. Great review of a great game.
Should I get it
52 minute part 1 review. Skill Up staying true to his roots and the division. Thank you for this.
and getting payed for it, yep
Damn i didn’t realise tom clancy was loved even by the president, also the game is so good im loving every moment
A discussion with this man would open your mind and leave your thirst for wisdom quenched.
Really appreciate the use of music from the first Division game sprinkled into the review especially at 43:40. That ambient track has accompanied me for hours as I explored TD1's NYC.
Your division 1 review is literally the only reason I bought division 2 and I’m loving it !!

As always, excellent. The Robocop analog slew me.
Lol, yea...same here! That 11:00 mark “Come quietly” got me going! 😂
@@Bltrommer haha ya, and the cut that leads to 'trouble' sent me off
The most detailed reviews out there! Thanks for your time and effort!
Just want to say that within the first 10 minutes, you've not only convinced me to give the game a second shot, but also that you are a hell of a good interviewer willing to put in the legwork. The time you spend on your videos is not lost on me.
I would have never even thought about buying this type of genre gane looter shooter. But after such exelent review I will. Thank you. As always great work. Appreciate your unbiased opinion and review.
This review summed up all my thoughts of the game. It’s amazing, this is exactly what I was thinking and it gave me more ideas that I didn’t think of!!!
Tom Clancy was the real GOAT. Terrific author.
Depends on the genre I think. Found Brandon Sanderson from wheel of time and now the stormlight archive is my most anticipated series more than game of thrones :)
I'm a relatively "newcomer" to your channel mate thanks to Laymen reviews and news, discussion and etc. But frankly and honestly i gotta say you "nail" it when it comes to a making detailed yet captivating reviews. Intros, background stories, developer quotes, varied and different sessions to cover from techy details to combat to story… All in perfectly balanced and beatufuly put together. What you're doing is bringing top notch documentary quality to gaming and gaming reviews good sir. Hats off to you Skillup!
So much work into your reviews. That's why your not just my favorite gaming journalist but my favorite u-tuber as well.
i love how much effort you put in to these reviews
I came here for the naval ships and I must say...my needs were satiated
Watching this review on one screen while I play TD2 on the other.
Supermassive Gaming yeah man same, i love team dortress 2 as well
Oooh, smart. Bet you're the kinda feller who uses cover.
Tower defense is da best
Amazing review again! Watched this and now off to starting playing The Division 2 for the first time. I feel like I’m up for one helluva ride! :)
This is why I am a Patreon. So worth it. I get to sit down and have a meal and know i will get an incredibly well thought out and superbly produced review of a game. Keep it up man.
Kudos to Ubisoft for being involved with the best and most complete Online Only game in a long time and a game for other Companies to follow when it comes to Online Only. Ubisoft became a good Company (and not one in the AAA Garbage Catagory of Bethesda, EA and Activision) since AC: Origins and The Division 2 continues that good streak.
And now?
OMG! That part where you used part of my Alexa video! 🤣
Sat through the entire video. As always, incredibly well written, and probably the best review of the game thus far. I was definitely waiting for this review before deciding to make a purchase. Awesome job! Also, can't wait for part 2 haha
Just wanted to say dude that once again I love your reviews. I get more excited about your reviews than I do about a new Primitive Technology video
Love it...20:49 Watchtower. Love what you do, appreciate all that you do. Thank you!!!
Been waiting for this review for ages. Shill up reviews never disappoint!
"Shillup" doesn't sound too good, though.
Jakub Krajewski It's a meme :D
I love the bit at the start when you use an analogy and the writing not only for them but the whole review
You know the industry is fucked up when Ubisoft is making great games. Good on them, hope they carry the momentum.
TanTheMan lol Ubisoft has consistently been making good games since 2016
Ubisoft have been making good games for a couple years now so Idk where you've been
It also makes some mediocre games. Ubisoft is nowhere near in the same class as CDPR or San Diego Studio or Rockstar or Naughty Dog or Nintendo. Far Cry New Dawn sucked balls. Assassins Creed Unity sucked ass and Origins wasn’t much better. Odyssey was ok but too long and overrated.
Bo Jangles no one said they were up to that level of quality, only that there making good games more often than not. Stop putting words in people’s mouths. Also I thought Origins was amazing and don’t find Odyssey too special but I can atleast see the appeal.
@@BoJangles42 CDPR made one hood game?
While 52 minutes for a part 1 seems too long for a review, it actually flies by and I really appreciate the detail you go into.
You are seriously one of the best reviewers on TH-cam that care about the content and context to the points that you make regarding video games. Your reviews are articulate, jampacked with content, and very smart with how you on how you present the reference points for the game. SkillUp, I applaude you on all of your hardwork and your videos encourage me to tell my friends my thoughts on video games in a similar manner. Thank you.
