As a person who never played the crew 1, coming into this world in the beta felt unreal. The massive map was mind blowing and the first thing I wanted to do is drive to where I live. After driving across the whole map, I started to realize how empty it was. The only enjoyable part in this game was driving all the modded to hell cars and feeling like I was in the Fast and the Furious.
itzzlevi The Forza Horizon series would be awesome, only problem I played for 6-7 years with Test Drive Unlimited series and that small map in the Forza not enough even to really speed up my Agera R. X'D If an online racing game does not reach the size of O'ahu (minimum) I don't buy it.
Mr Ford Shelby isn't that a little too harsh? Funny thing is that TDU 1 was released 12 years ago and still manages to have more traffic density than this game.
Summary: The game just has too many issues. Also its an MP game without the PVP until Fall. XBOXX did not get the hoped for 60fps mode. Help out ACG with youtubes current demonetization of videos www.patreon.com/AngryCentaurGaming Also will be interesting if the articles were right about the Xbox X version hitting 60. I couldn't find any sign of that
The graphics quality & vehicle physics reminded me of GTA V, totally acceptable within GTA which has a shit ton more going for it but not nearly enough for a game that’s all about vehicles. If you own GTA there’s no reason to buy this, if you don’t why in hell wouldn’t you just buy GTA which is a complete monster compared to this game and considerably cheaper now. I know they’re totally different genres but I honestly can’t think of a better comparison.
I was able to buy the regera on Tuesday 1.3 mil wasn't that hard to get just had to play for like close to 10 hours. If you don't buy anything you pretty much get enough money by the time your about to lvl up to icon.
HAVING ONLY PLAYED THE BETA I like the grind in this game, the car prices are very constant so you can often just barely afford a car, this is good as in many racing games there's a big leap between two car prices and then when you go online everybody owns the cheaper one as it's the most expensive of it's league. This leaves room for variation. I also like the cash rewards which make you earn a reasonable car in a satisfying 5 hours. I'm not saying the cash rewards are perfect! I think the stunt plane cash rewards are a bit OP when compared to street races. 3 laps gave me about $15,000 and doing "A climb, a dive and a roll" Gave me around the same. I still think that The Crew 2 is a better choice than Forza Horizon 4 as there is more variation in the activities, in customisation (144 bumpers for a single one of the camaro's if I remember!) and in LAND.
If only a majority of their fanbase understood that concept. But then again we voted in a (half) black President twice that sent all the money to union mob bosses instead of actually fixing our infrastructure.
It's too much fluff to be hip with impressionable kids. All that "be the best racer", some hip announcers, all that social crap, it's all nonsense. Why cant they make a game for drivers, for the trip, having crosscountry road trips with your friends or solo, tackling challenges and secrets along the way? Or have cross country rallies with classic cars? Where is a racing game about the cars?
Argiris Papadopoulos Agreed, I really wanted to love the Crew 1 but the tone was too serious and bland, and now I really want to love the Crew 2 but the tone is incredibly obnoxious and offputting - they’ve nailed the open world and really refined the driving physics, which are the hardest bits to get right in this kind of game, but they just can’t get the tone right and it kinda frustrates me
2SlowPoke Honestly, i would love a Bluepoint style remake of Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005. In my opinion the best arcadestyle racing game ever made.
Burnout takedown was the best for me, hands down. And I don't know why people like nfs most wanted so much, the cars all felt like tractors, it was so bad for an arcade game.
I'm just going to throw this out there...I love this game...plain and simple. Whilst many comments I have read here do raise valid points...I personally am happy to overlook some of the 'not so great' parts because I can find fun here - and with pals in your crew - and randoms too...the fun can be created. Granted...it's not the most amazing game this year but I thoroughly enjoyed the first game, even more so with the numerous updates and expansions. With this in mind - i am indeed most likely biased but still...there's an awful lot of fun to be had. That said...having seen the FH4 demo from E3...damn that sh** looks good! Might have to dust off the Xbox for that. In the meantime however...thank you Karak, thank you for your video and continued work. On this occasion, my opinion differs and that's okay...it's the world we live in :) Peace out.
ACG you are easily one of the best most reliable and consistent reviewers out there. You are the king of organized and easily digestible reviews. It’s incredibly impressive how you do what a massive company like IGN does but easily much better. Keep up the good work, we are lucky to have you on this site!
After trying the Beta I decided against getting The Crew 2, like you say in the video there are some glaring issues such as pop-in, rubberbanding, lack of multiplayer and general lack of content. I also cannot get around the handling model, it just doesn't feel intuitive no matter how much I tweaked it. Maybe it will improve over time like the first game did, but until then I'll stay away.
I decided against it after the beta too. I could live with the pop-in and lack of multiplayer, even the handling as I didn't expect much from a pure arcade game and it was much better than TC1. But the rubberbanding was bad and as a free roam explorer there was nothing new to explore on the map. Not one bit. All that vast amounts of open area and they did nothing with it. I might get it on sale later on, the photo mode is really good, but it's not worth full price.
Forza Horizon upped my standard for open world racing so much i hate it lol. I tried to get into Payback months after i played FH3 but the whole 2 hours i played payback i was thinking, 'I should go play FH3 again'. This game wont be much different i think
Forza is obviously a win, no contest. However, this game does have a few cool things going for it, which is what I like about it. People talk about end game which is a bit absurd because isn't racing and hooking up cars an everyday and anyday thing? I never heard a racer in real life who says their is no end game in racing. People simply ask for too much and expect way too much.
ASMR-SENSEI played the crew 2 beta and I had a lot of fun just cruising on this detailed map of the USA well some of it usa is a big place, I don't get why people are bashing this game because in my opinion I don't think horizon 4 will be much different from 3 but forza got stale after forza motorsport 4 and forza horizon 1
Got bored of forza horizon 3 in a couple of weeks. Not at all excited about horizon 4. The thing is the racing games are indeed getting stale and developers are producing the same old shit with different wrapping. Gone are the golden era of nfs underground 2 and most wanted(2004). Man those were the days where the game was all about cars, rivalry, intensity and true racing.. They were miles ahead of their time and can still beat todays games other than the graphics category
It really does look empty and the roads seem like they're made of plastic. They look way too smooth and textureless. The whole world gives off this vibe of being fake and straight out of a game, instead of a real place. Also the lack of content is really disappointing.
I played the beta and whilst there were other issues there was also three big things that put me off buying this. 1) The rubberbanding that Karak mentions. I'm sure some ignoramus will just say 'git gud' but it's a cheat and a weak excuse for bad AI. Why bother getting in front if they're only going to catch up. 2) The empty world that you both mention. Cities especially need more traffic in them. 3) Related to point 2), as a free roam explorer I knew that they'd basically used the same map as TC1 but with updates where needed. The big problem for me is that they didn't change anything else. The countryside is still a vast emptiness, exactly the same locations are there from the first game, if you've already explored that map there's no desire to do the same with TC2, nothing has changed. Maybe worth a buy further down the line in a sale but not for full price.
+Dead Meme Yes, it is only some. Being good enough to win is fair enough but the problem with rubberbanding is that you have to drive flawlessly, especially in the latter part of the race. Even if you learn the course, get ahead early, stay ahead and gain a lead of multiple seconds they will still catch you if you take one later corner slightly too slowly. Skill is largely removed from the race as it always comes down to the last few corners and it's all about speed. :-)
I feel like if you guys own the 1st game with all the DLC there is no point in spending your $ on The Crew 2 . Because its the same game with the addition of airplanes,boats and a few new cars and if you ask me there is no pint in paying 60$ or more for the same 2014 game with a few new additions...
project hellfire Forza gives us whole new countries to explore each time a new one comes out. The crew 2 would've been day one for me if it was set in Europe. I don't get the reason for continuing to tread america over and over when we could be driving around in Prague, Krakow, Rome, Vienna, etc etc.
it's not 100% the same game though they took out the shitty story, redid the progression and didn't tie it to some POS story mode and they have better cars this time around..... Jeep....the classic jeep not the modern crappy model [they have that one too] Mitsubishi Lancer [No Subaru Imprezza but at least they have the lancer now] boats and aircraft are fun, my biggest bitch about the first game was lack of the cool jeep and Lancer/Imprezza and they seemed to address that, plus motorbikes are in from the start woo hoo! the map mostly is the same map as before, I woulda went with another map like Africa or Australia or UK or Europe or something, Scotland, Ireland Japan, China....lots of places they could go..... personally I'm a PS4 player and don't play a ton of racers anymore so I'll grab this....
I knew this would happen with the inclusion of boats and planes. There’s no refined direction, every discipline is half assed. No one asked for air and sea vehicles. Properly pissed because TC1 was pretty cool in the end. I guess TC2 is gonna be good in a year too :/
My worst fears came true when I played the open beta. A lot of the street races were sacrificed for the really stupid and useless boats and planes I absolutely abhor the boats (planes are okay I guess), and I really dont want to touch them.. but there's so little of the actual street races!
The best part about this game and it's saving grace is the motorcycles. They should update the motorcycle list to include a lot more types. If there weren't any motorcycles in this game I wouldn't of bought it. The motorcycles are the only thing I spend my in-game currency on. Anything else is sort of a waste.
I played a fair bit on the closed beta and it's just one of those games that feels soulless. It's pretty enough - the average character models wouldn't matter much if the photo ops didn't actually ask you to look at them - but it never once got my pulse rate racing. Even the original game gave me a few of those moments. Shame, but a hard pass for me.
I think what your describing is what i felt when i played Far Cry 4, i was bored and it felt so soulless, even the disliked far cry 4 was much much more interesting. I already uninstalled FC4 after plyng for about few hours. Damn Ubi games just do this every damn time.
Hmmm I kinda disagree with a lot of this review. I think for people who simply like to cruise and drive around in a massive map the game is really fun. There's a lot to see actually. I've had the game since the 25th and it's all I've been doing really. Also I haven't really seen a problem with microtransactions at all, though I'm only 14 hours in so maybe I'm uninformed with the late game content - to me the microtransaction currency seems rather tame and never in your face.
That's what I loved doing in The Crew 1 actually, but the handling in The Crew 2 is a bit underwhelming for me that I can't enjoy driving in it properly... In The Crew 1 (updated) while the handling feels very floaty, I have a choice between all driving help, sport, and hardcore. All 3 feels very different to each other and I love driving around in hardcore a lot where there's more skill factor. While The Crew 2 feels more 'weighty', to me it feels like driving on constant 'all driving help' from The Crew 1 and when I tweaked the handling from the "pro settings" it either only changes slightly that the results isn't satisfying or drastically changed where it's undriveable. The slides are too artificial and just isn't my cup of tea...
I don’t understand why there is so much hate? The driving isn’t really that bad, it’s fun driving around and doing some of the missions??? There’s a range of different vechiles and now boats and planes. It really ain’t that bad
pi**ing off the internet i think a lot of people (myself included) are comparing it to Forza Horizon 3. Horizon only lacks in the size of the map, but looks better (I appreciate the lack of pop in) and feels better to drive (for some as the cars don't slam into the ground like a sumo wrestler every time you get air). I just could't get used to the handling of the cars to an extent where I just got frustrated.
Well here's the thing, having played both betas extensively pretty much 16 hours per day they were out, I had maybe 3 hours of fun in roughly 100 hours of playing and that's not a whole lot :) I didn't enjoy the game because the world is beautiful but empty, the driving (in my opinion) is just terrible compared to Forza and piloting boats and planes must be the most boring thing I've done in a long while. I have no problems with games handling differently from Forza, it's just that I played that a lot and like the driving there a lot and I really couldn't get into the Crew 2's. The only thing TC2 does better than any racing game I've seen is the photo mode but that's not a good reason to buy the game. This is however my opinion so no hard facts or anything.
Both reply’s are saying the handling is shit? But it isn’t, their is a good sense of speed and each car imo has a different handling. I’ve spent both betas literally driving around because it feels great and is enjoyable. Stop comparing it to forza, the handling is basically the same. Ive played both games and Both games handling is playable? Stop hating it’s a good game
The person l go too for my honest reviews, gone are my day one, buy it dame the cost purchases, wait for a Amazon sale on disc 30ish pounds price! Another Epic Review Sir!
This has nothing to do with the review but just wanted to let you know that I've been with your channel since before 100k subs. Back when you when you used to (and were allowed) to say " angry centaur gaming" during your opening sequences. Damn that had such a good sound to it! Noticed you're about to hit 500k. Congratulations. I love seeing your channel and quality grow. Your content is awesome. You're viewers have mad love for you, your beanies, and that alpha male beard!
Personally, this is one of the best games I have played in a while. Its RPG elements are extremely fun. Exploring this huge world is amazing. I hope there’s a review of this game that’s positive because if you give this game a try you can have a lot of fun. Playing it is surprisingly better than watching it. You are free to have your own fun.
Amen to that. I love this game...it's a lot of fun both solo and more so with others. It's a great place to drive / pilot beautiful machines. Hell...I've driven coast to coast in a friggin Grand Cherokee...just because I could. Although the classic Porsche 911 is a must for sure (bad boys bad boys...watcha gonna doooo). A couple of us bought Ducatis for a road trip from Florida to the Golden Gate bridge. We then hooned around there in both planes and boats - because we could...and with pals, you make your own fun. I enjoy the random encounters with strangers too...people you meet on the road and then cat n mouse it across states...then part ways later on but you've had fun racing someone else on the way. Personally...I will find a lot of fun with this game. People can have their different opinions, of course...but mine in this instance is that Crew 2 is hella fun.
Ive tried it for a couple of hours. That was enough. I didnt like it at all. I came second in a race and the game out me third. The car felt like i was driving a boat. And the car mid air acted unnatural and when i jumped a big ramp, the car flew maybe 3 meters in the air and landed 0.3 second after it launched. I was looking fotward to it
i played the beta and it was fun but got a little bored...racing was already but i wanted more from it.. Does the full game act better? or is it just like beta? Can i get more then 3 slots for fast switch? Does the cut scenes look better with better voice acting? can you custom your driver more? there was not much at all to pick from and i didnt see any way to change them.. Can you look up in a car? I could never look up or have a over the top view to see anythings.. its the little things i need fixed before i spend $60
The story from the Crew 1 was way better then in 2. It's no Shakespeare of course which shouldn't be expected from a race game anyways but the story kept me playing through the end. It's not there in the Crew 2 sadly it's more of a powerpoint presentation if you ask me, which would have been fine like explaining the different gangs from the crew 1 but is way out of place in 2.
Thanks for another excellent review. As a fan of singleplayer titles, this review made me rather interested in the game but only after seeing how Ubisoft patches and updates the prices and loot systems.
i got the game from buying a new gpu but im one of those single player people and one of the people that enyoy grinding out the same events over and over for better parts.i had no problem in terms of money to buy cars as it doesnt take that long to get the money for them if you do quick events or just events that you enyoy (i enyoy the drift events cause they can vary even though its the same track.) and the point of this message is basically. if you enyoy grinding and if you enyoy the singleplayer experience its actually quite fun and enyoyable but i do agree on waiting for a sale to get it.
You're a good reviewer...you're becoming my go to for reviews bc you don't seem as corporate driven (biased). I would like if you would kinda score them...even if it was just A...B...C....F. other than that you're usually very thorough thanks buddy!
I had a lot of fun in the beta just flying around in the planes and cruising around at night. If you want pvp this won't offer much until later. But as a single player arcade sandbox racer it is far more interesting just because of the seamless transition between street, air and water. One impressive thing to mention is also the photo and replay feature that lets you rewind the last 10min at any point. Funnily enough there are many people out there that were surprised at how inexpensive the cars are. I guess it really depends on whether you want a MMO experience or quick casual fun.
I will have to give it an 8/10. Cons: Cheesy story and and follower concept is a bit far-fetched Pros: Awesome vehicles and Swap is very fun and brings a whole new concept to racing games. Also, HUGE map and houses
Great. Another open world game that’s big just for the sake of being big and having nothing worthwhile to do. We really need less open world games and more games that have more focus and don’t take 80 hours to beat doing the same shit over and over.
Hey ACG great review but I noticed you didn't mention the specific tuning for each car at 11:17 If you press back(on the controller) when you are picking parts there is a whole tuning menu for your car.
I played the beta and I liked the unique concept of switching between car, boat and plane at anytime. But I wouldn't budge to buy it mainly because it felt very empty in the huge beautiful map of the condensed USA which they should've forego a 64 player server or just focus on a state and they didn't went crazy enough with the events which drains my excitement juice after 5 events, along with the shallow roster of cars, boats and planes. (Long, expanded comments ahead) They missed some of the popular car manufacturers such as Mitsubishi, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen but also some classic cars such as the Datsun 510 or BMW 3 Series. Boats...... I don't have a lot of interest in it but I can say maybe more air boats or jet ski could spice it up a bit and they should allow boats to just slide down on solid surfaces. And the planes, I would like to see them go crazy like adding jet planes instead or historic planes such as the Mustang or F-4E Phantom along with adding obstacles in air races instead of just flying straight or plain freestyle aerobatic events.
I find it interesting that it was mentioned this might be a "middle ground" between arcade and sim... I feel no sim in this at all. The handling model is abysmal for a current-gen game. Feels like Crazy Taxi. Maybe I just misunderstood which aspect is "sim" about it...
DisfigureProstitutes no I think it's worse than that. It's a middle ground between arcade and sim-cade (Forza, Driveclub, Dirt 4, Grid Autosport, PGR, etc), but even that's false imo... this is underwhelming. I have an unpopular opinion that even the updated The Crew 1 is better than this (although it's very floaty)
DisfigureProstitutes who said it’s middle ground? It’s pure arcade, if it was a mix between arcade and sim, would you be able to ramp a keonigsegg off of a building? O. Sim/Cade implies they have at least tried to put some realism in there, but they haven’t. No that’s fine, makes it far more fun.
Alan Payne enjoy a game that won’t even last you a week! Like all the previous horizons...too much focus on graphics, not enough on the actual content.
I see what you mean about the vehicle damage, when you drove over a van with the monster-car thing the van that got driven over still looked brand new lol
Personally I love this game single playing or with my friends racing cruising just messing around what ever absolutely love this game. That said they have a very good reason for pvp not being in yet and it is coming, shame it ain't in at launch but come one everyone would have been upset if they would have delayed it 6 months just to fix the coding with the pvp lobbies Edit: oh and the hyper car class Jaguar concept is amazing sexy looking best sounding car in the game amazing yall check it out
I have to agree with most of what you are saying here. During the beta things seemed "ok" but nothing ever just felt like it all came together well enough to keep me interested beyond a few days of playing. I was really looking forward to this but I feel like there is just a whole lot of "little things" combining to make it overall not that good. Going to wait until september when the big patch comes out and revisit the idea of buying it.
nomercy8989 that's a blessing actually. Compare this to the really good looking night time in NFS 2015 and Driveclub (especially in a stormy weather), sure it's _nice_ to look at but when you're driving at +200 km/h it's total nightmare where you can't see a single thing
I went from The Crew to 2 ( with some Spintires Mudeunner while awaiting the release ) and was a little miffed that the map was not discoverable , the skills are all but gone and places like the air base have disappeared along with the game point challenges . And don't get me started on street races that funnel you into an alley only to stop you dead with a step in front of a doorway . Or having a vehicle that is not upgraded enough to compete . I had to drive all over the country in a Drag vehicle jumping and speeding just to get parts .
I might get it an a sale down the road (pun intended) but it's not worth full price. As a free roam explorer I was very disappointed that the map was almost exactly the same. They have so much empty space tey could have easily added in more sightseeing locations. Also, the rubberbanding is a huge turn off. It's a cheat, pure and simple.
I was playing the beta and using a controller (XBOX) on PC - I was unable to get the vehicle out of first gear.. Lol it looks kinds lame at 22 MPH. Used my keyboard and got very bored after 30 mins.
was the game on sale last year on cyber monday and where was it cheaper im looking to buy it in cyber monday but i dont know where to get it so im just asking where was it on sale last year
i played and did most of the crew 2 open beta in 6 hours i actually liked the crew 2 more then the crew the first game felt boring and the story wasn’t that fun
As person that doesnt care alot about multiplayer and enjoyed crew 1...will eventually get this. Ive already pre-ordered FH4 and this will be nice to play in meanwhile. I dont expect it to amazing or even rival FH3...just better than crew 1. Upgrading system doesnt annoy me that much its improved upon from crew 1 and even in crew 1 prices were crazy with brz being 300k. Its definitely not worse than payback so mighy get it on sale
So no story, no new map, no multiplayer for 60 bucks... how on earth can Ubisoft justify such a high price for a halfass game ??? I guess it's hard to develop planes and boats and probably that's why it took Rockstar so long to make GTA 5 :)
the crew is supposed to be a car racing game not frikin boats and arplanes!!! if they took all that effort and focused on the cars only, it couldve been the best open world car racing game for the next 3 yrs! They ruined it when they introduced planes and boats.
“Oh dang it I meant to click on a different video. Especially since I’m not into this genre of games at all but I guess I’ll watch a few minutes” Aaaaaand I watched the whole review lmao. I just really want to make sure that you know you’re one of my favorite channels because I would never consider buying a game like this unless it was like $1 but you somehow made me interested enough to watch the whole thing haha. Keep it up mayne
No because tons of idiots hyped this game to the moon and back. It even beat forza horizon 4 on a "which game will be better" poll. Just lmao at these sheep.
Random User forza horizon 1 was great. Two was great. Three good.. And then it just got stale. Same old shit with different wrapping.. Guess racing games days are over. Its a shame we dont get masterpieces like most wanted(2004) and underground 2 anymore
Predator i liked nfs the run and hot pursuit (2010), there was no story in hot pursuit but dude the game is amazing, just the music playlist gives me goosebumps, and I like the handling as well!
Mimou Chiron hot pursuit was superb, esp for an nfs title. It's probably the highest rated iteration ever out of the whole franchise. You know it's quality when it was made by the devs of burnout
Didn't Sega already make this game 6 years ago with _Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed_ ? And that game had a track based on _Samba de Amigo_ which automatically makes it better.
Or... wait until it is updated over and over and then buy it. Think that is what I might do. Loos like my kind of game once the bugfixes are in, though that tends to take forever with Ubisoft. I can get over cringey voice acting and stuff.
One annoying thing in this game was the random loot in the world in co-op being there for me, but not my friend. And the one time (the first time we found one) there was loot for both of us, I got a blue and my friend got a purple. That happened in the closed beta.
Honestly I loved the first Crew because of the slow grind. So I need to play the beta first. I also loved the empty space. Felt cool, then again there were challenges everywhere so we'll see.
You know what dude? I really appreciate the fact that you take the time to test games on both console and PC. Thanks for doing that
MrThreeWorlds same
Same! Its super appreciated.
The best part of the game was in the first 5 minutes when the world goes all Inception. I want Ubisoft to do more of that.
Here's another mind-blowing fact: Inception came out 8 years ago. I'm already feeling old.
Dr . Wub i agree man, i let out a big NANI when it happened.
And how long since Dark Knight? ;) Unless you're still dreaming, where is your totem?
Avantime The Wii came out 12 years ago. 12 YEARS!!!
They should make an assassins creed and inception mix
As a person who never played the crew 1, coming into this world in the beta felt unreal. The massive map was mind blowing and the first thing I wanted to do is drive to where I live. After driving across the whole map, I started to realize how empty it was. The only enjoyable part in this game was driving all the modded to hell cars and feeling like I was in the Fast and the Furious.
cool
yeah the world is the only reason to get the.. very fun to fly around but lame af up close.. red boxing it.
Dallasmed65 So when were you popular?
itzzlevi The Forza Horizon series would be awesome, only problem I played for 6-7 years with Test Drive Unlimited series and that small map in the Forza not enough even to really speed up my Agera R. X'D If an online racing game does not reach the size of O'ahu (minimum) I don't buy it.
Mr Ford Shelby isn't that a little too harsh?
Funny thing is that TDU 1 was released 12 years ago and still manages to have more traffic density than this game.
Summary: The game just has too many issues. Also its an MP game without the PVP until Fall. XBOXX did not get the hoped for 60fps mode. Help out ACG with youtubes current demonetization of videos www.patreon.com/AngryCentaurGaming
Also will be interesting if the articles were right about the Xbox X version hitting 60. I couldn't find any sign of that
I plan on racing alone, not pvp or with friends so why does Ubisoft keep enforcing a constant required online connection?
The graphics quality & vehicle physics reminded me of GTA V, totally acceptable within GTA which has a shit ton more going for it but not nearly enough for a game that’s all about vehicles. If you own GTA there’s no reason to buy this, if you don’t why in hell wouldn’t you just buy GTA which is a complete monster compared to this game and considerably cheaper now. I know they’re totally different genres but I honestly can’t think of a better comparison.
I was able to buy the regera on Tuesday 1.3 mil wasn't that hard to get just had to play for like close to 10 hours. If you don't buy anything you pretty much get enough money by the time your about to lvl up to icon.
HAVING ONLY PLAYED THE BETA I like the grind in this game, the car prices are very constant so you can often just barely afford a car, this is good as in many racing games there's a big leap between two car prices and then when you go online everybody owns the cheaper one as it's the most expensive of it's league. This leaves room for variation. I also like the cash rewards which make you earn a reasonable car in a satisfying 5 hours. I'm not saying the cash rewards are perfect! I think the stunt plane cash rewards are a bit OP when compared to street races. 3 laps gave me about $15,000 and doing "A climb, a dive and a roll" Gave me around the same. I still think that The Crew 2 is a better choice than Forza Horizon 4 as there is more variation in the activities, in customisation (144 bumpers for a single one of the camaro's if I remember!) and in LAND.
Unfinished AAA game with microtransactions, what a time to be a alive.
DaBa lol
Cyberpunk is around the corner tho. What a perfect time to be alive
It's Ubisoft, that's why I wait until if and when they fix their bugs to actually buy their stuff.
If only a majority of their fanbase understood that concept. But then again we voted in a (half) black President twice that sent all the money to union mob bosses instead of actually fixing our infrastructure.
I register your sarcasm
It's too much fluff to be hip with impressionable kids. All that "be the best racer", some hip announcers, all that social crap, it's all nonsense. Why cant they make a game for drivers, for the trip, having crosscountry road trips with your friends or solo, tackling challenges and secrets along the way? Or have cross country rallies with classic cars? Where is a racing game about the cars?
Argiris Papadopoulos completely agree
Argiris Papadopoulos Agreed, I really wanted to love the Crew 1 but the tone was too serious and bland, and now I really want to love the Crew 2 but the tone is incredibly obnoxious and offputting - they’ve nailed the open world and really refined the driving physics, which are the hardest bits to get right in this kind of game, but they just can’t get the tone right and it kinda frustrates me
Thomas Hewitt The Gamecat most racing games can never get their tones righ, especially with arcade racers
Argiris Papadopoulos cuz it's a mufucking racing game
SHAWKLAN 27 Nfs Most wanted 2005 nailed it
The first review where the TH-camr isn't kissing Ubisofts ass. Excellent review sir, thank you.
Man O War hey, have you played Motorstorm or Blur or Split Second before?
They delayed the game to remove lootboxes, but didn't finish the game first before releasing it. Hard Pass for me.
Terrance S very hard pass. They barely added any cars too
Sic Semper Beats as If your gonna buy every single car
Sic Semper Beats boy they adding two new cars every month for fucking free
They should add map expansions both free and paid. ETS2 just added the Baltic countries after doing Italy last year.
Ok terrance
What we need is Burnout Paradise 2.
2SlowPoke
Honestly, i would love a Bluepoint style remake of Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005. In my opinion the best arcadestyle racing game ever made.
No. We don’t. We need Burnout 3 remastered.
NFS Rivals was pretty damn good.
I want a new burnout not a remaster.
Burnout takedown was the best for me, hands down. And I don't know why people like nfs most wanted so much, the cars all felt like tractors, it was so bad for an arcade game.
I'm just going to throw this out there...I love this game...plain and simple. Whilst many comments I have read here do raise valid points...I personally am happy to overlook some of the 'not so great' parts because I can find fun here - and with pals in your crew - and randoms too...the fun can be created.
Granted...it's not the most amazing game this year but I thoroughly enjoyed the first game, even more so with the numerous updates and expansions. With this in mind - i am indeed most likely biased but still...there's an awful lot of fun to be had.
That said...having seen the FH4 demo from E3...damn that sh** looks good! Might have to dust off the Xbox for that.
In the meantime however...thank you Karak, thank you for your video and continued work. On this occasion, my opinion differs and that's okay...it's the world we live in :)
Peace out.
glad you like it man!
Finally, a sane comment in a sea of pseudo-intellectual narcissism.
It's Quantity over Quality... again.... this titles lack heart and soul. Crew 2 looks clinical and boring.
Sh0cklyz
Beta was enjoyable but it got very boring after 10 or so hours.
Decent game on huge sale.
DevilGames I got bored after about 30 minutes
Exactly
Sh0cklyz cause it is
Wait for Forza horizon 4 is going to be better than the crew 2.
ACG you are easily one of the best most reliable and consistent reviewers out there. You are the king of organized and easily digestible reviews. It’s incredibly impressive how you do what a massive company like IGN does but easily much better. Keep up the good work, we are lucky to have you on this site!
my thanks
After trying the Beta I decided against getting The Crew 2, like you say in the video there are some glaring issues such as pop-in, rubberbanding, lack of multiplayer and general lack of content. I also cannot get around the handling model, it just doesn't feel intuitive no matter how much I tweaked it. Maybe it will improve over time like the first game did, but until then I'll stay away.
I decided against it after the beta too. I could live with the pop-in and lack of multiplayer, even the handling as I didn't expect much from a pure arcade game and it was much better than TC1. But the rubberbanding was bad and as a free roam explorer there was nothing new to explore on the map. Not one bit. All that vast amounts of open area and they did nothing with it.
I might get it on sale later on, the photo mode is really good, but it's not worth full price.
Forza will always be a winner in my heart
Diego Torres-Dominguez Fuel all the way
Especially when you compare this game to FH4.
Dirt 4 is pretty fuckin dope
Forza Horizon upped my standard for open world racing so much i hate it lol. I tried to get into Payback months after i played FH3 but the whole 2 hours i played payback i was thinking, 'I should go play FH3 again'. This game wont be much different i think
wiener
Forza is obviously a win, no contest. However, this game does have a few cool things going for it, which is what I like about it. People talk about end game which is a bit absurd because isn't racing and hooking up cars an everyday and anyday thing? I never heard a racer in real life who says their is no end game in racing. People simply ask for too much and expect way too much.
ASMR-SENSEI played the crew 2 beta and I had a lot of fun just cruising on this detailed map of the USA well some of it usa is a big place, I don't get why people are bashing this game because in my opinion I don't think horizon 4 will be much different from 3 but forza got stale after forza motorsport 4 and forza horizon 1
I like the crew 2 better because your able to play it on ps4
Got bored of forza horizon 3 in a couple of weeks. Not at all excited about horizon 4. The thing is the racing games are indeed getting stale and developers are producing the same old shit with different wrapping. Gone are the golden era of nfs underground 2 and most wanted(2004). Man those were the days where the game was all about cars, rivalry, intensity and true racing.. They were miles ahead of their time and can still beat todays games other than the graphics category
Peww Comfy shut up nerd
how u gonna call someone a nerd fat bitch
This game just feels like the answer to a question no one asked.
lol
It really does look empty and the roads seem like they're made of plastic. They look way too smooth and textureless. The whole world gives off this vibe of being fake and straight out of a game, instead of a real place. Also the lack of content is really disappointing.
I played the beta and whilst there were other issues there was also three big things that put me off buying this.
1) The rubberbanding that Karak mentions. I'm sure some ignoramus will just say 'git gud' but it's a cheat and a weak excuse for bad AI. Why bother getting in front if they're only going to catch up.
2) The empty world that you both mention. Cities especially need more traffic in them.
3) Related to point 2), as a free roam explorer I knew that they'd basically used the same map as TC1 but with updates where needed. The big problem for me is that they didn't change anything else. The countryside is still a vast emptiness, exactly the same locations are there from the first game, if you've already explored that map there's no desire to do the same with TC2, nothing has changed.
Maybe worth a buy further down the line in a sale but not for full price.
I honestly haven't had much trouble at all with rubberbanding, if I drive good enough I often get way ahead of the AI.
nevermind, didn't realise he only said some of the races.
+Dead Meme Yes, it is only some. Being good enough to win is fair enough but the problem with rubberbanding is that you have to drive flawlessly, especially in the latter part of the race. Even if you learn the course, get ahead early, stay ahead and gain a lead of multiple seconds they will still catch you if you take one later corner slightly too slowly. Skill is largely removed from the race as it always comes down to the last few corners and it's all about speed. :-)
lwaves "git gud" damn those two special words always reminds me of bloodborne and dark souls
Before even watching or reading comments I paid for my pre order after the closed beta. I'm happy just doin road trips on this. Great game
I feel like if you guys own the 1st game with all the DLC there is no point in spending your $ on The Crew 2 . Because its the same game with the addition of airplanes,boats and a few new cars and if you ask me there is no pint in paying 60$ or more for the same 2014 game with a few new additions...
I HaveNoGunGame exactly. A lazy ass game
project hellfire Forza gives us whole new countries to explore each time a new one comes out.
The crew 2 would've been day one for me if it was set in Europe. I don't get the reason for continuing to tread america over and over when we could be driving around in Prague, Krakow, Rome, Vienna, etc etc.
Vurtax Because ever other game under the sun is doing European countries right now
it's not 100% the same game though
they took out the shitty story, redid the progression and didn't tie it to some POS story mode and they have better cars this time around.....
Jeep....the classic jeep not the modern crappy model [they have that one too] Mitsubishi Lancer [No Subaru Imprezza but at least they have the lancer now] boats and aircraft are fun, my biggest bitch about the first game was lack of the cool jeep and Lancer/Imprezza and they seemed to address that, plus motorbikes are in from the start woo hoo!
the map mostly is the same map as before, I woulda went with another map like Africa or Australia or UK or Europe or something, Scotland, Ireland Japan, China....lots of places they could go.....
personally I'm a PS4 player and don't play a ton of racers anymore so I'll grab this....
+Planet RXR
No, more like every game under the sun is set in America
I knew this would happen with the inclusion of boats and planes. There’s no refined direction, every discipline is half assed. No one asked for air and sea vehicles. Properly pissed because TC1 was pretty cool in the end. I guess TC2 is gonna be good in a year too :/
My worst fears came true when I played the open beta. A lot of the street races were sacrificed for the really stupid and useless boats and planes
I absolutely abhor the boats (planes are okay I guess), and I really dont want to touch them.. but there's so little of the actual street races!
The best part about this game and it's saving grace is the motorcycles. They should update the motorcycle list to include a lot more types. If there weren't any motorcycles in this game I wouldn't of bought it. The motorcycles are the only thing I spend my in-game currency on. Anything else is sort of a waste.
couldn't disagree more game's pretty good.
I've already put in over 24 hours lol.
Was worth the gold addition already.
Fantastic review karak! Yeah I'm gonna skip this one for now, really dislike the social media shit that seems everywhere xD
Jonny like what racer who breaks laws with every race would wanna broadcast it on social media? Lol
Sic Semper Beats you ever heard of youtube?
Sic Semper Beats
Superspeedersrob back in the
I played a fair bit on the closed beta and it's just one of those games that feels soulless. It's pretty enough - the average character models wouldn't matter much if the photo ops didn't actually ask you to look at them - but it never once got my pulse rate racing. Even the original game gave me a few of those moments. Shame, but a hard pass for me.
I think what your describing is what i felt when i played Far Cry 4, i was bored and it felt so soulless, even the disliked far cry 4 was much much more interesting. I already uninstalled FC4 after plyng for about few hours. Damn Ubi games just do this every damn time.
Had the same with far cry primal. Felt like far cry 4 which felt like far cry 3. Just without guns and interesting things.
Most of the Ubisoft games feels boring & heartless 90% of the time.
I played the beta too I just don't get that awesome racing feeling from this game I do from forza horizon
Zualtea Slade did you seriously just compare fc4 to fc4? Which one was worse? 4 or four or IV? I'm guessing you meant primal.
Hmmm I kinda disagree with a lot of this review. I think for people who simply like to cruise and drive around in a massive map the game is really fun. There's a lot to see actually. I've had the game since the 25th and it's all I've been doing really. Also I haven't really seen a problem with microtransactions at all, though I'm only 14 hours in so maybe I'm uninformed with the late game content - to me the microtransaction currency seems rather tame and never in your face.
well then we agree actually cause thats what I said about the SP and if your in some games of coop
That's what I loved doing in The Crew 1 actually, but the handling in The Crew 2 is a bit underwhelming for me that I can't enjoy driving in it properly...
In The Crew 1 (updated) while the handling feels very floaty, I have a choice between all driving help, sport, and hardcore. All 3 feels very different to each other and I love driving around in hardcore a lot where there's more skill factor.
While The Crew 2 feels more 'weighty', to me it feels like driving on constant 'all driving help' from The Crew 1 and when I tweaked the handling from the "pro settings" it either only changes slightly that the results isn't satisfying or drastically changed where it's undriveable. The slides are too artificial and just isn't my cup of tea...
Andrew M played the beta, the openworld is overrated it's mostly just empty
Is it still good a year later?
Been a gamer over 30 years and this is the first one where I needed to Google how to exit the GD game.
lol
After playing Racing Transformed, I can't wait to try this! The cars, electronic music and enormous environment are all I need to unwind for hours!
I don’t understand why there is so much hate? The driving isn’t really that bad, it’s fun driving around and doing some of the missions??? There’s a range of different vechiles and now boats and planes. It really ain’t that bad
haven't seen any hate. Just folks not thinking its great
ACG people are saying the handling is crap? Aswell as the cars sounding crap, it’s good and fair for a arcade which people seem to forget
pi**ing off the internet i think a lot of people (myself included) are comparing it to Forza Horizon 3. Horizon only lacks in the size of the map, but looks better (I appreciate the lack of pop in) and feels better to drive (for some as the cars don't slam into the ground like a sumo wrestler every time you get air). I just could't get used to the handling of the cars to an extent where I just got frustrated.
Well here's the thing, having played both betas extensively pretty much 16 hours per day they were out, I had maybe 3 hours of fun in roughly 100 hours of playing and that's not a whole lot :) I didn't enjoy the game because the world is beautiful but empty, the driving (in my opinion) is just terrible compared to Forza and piloting boats and planes must be the most boring thing I've done in a long while. I have no problems with games handling differently from Forza, it's just that I played that a lot and like the driving there a lot and I really couldn't get into the Crew 2's. The only thing TC2 does better than any racing game I've seen is the photo mode but that's not a good reason to buy the game.
This is however my opinion so no hard facts or anything.
Both reply’s are saying the handling is shit? But it isn’t, their is a good sense of speed and each car imo has a different handling. I’ve spent both betas literally driving around because it feels great and is enjoyable. Stop comparing it to forza, the handling is basically the same. Ive played both games and Both games handling is playable? Stop hating it’s a good game
The person l go too for my honest reviews, gone are my day one, buy it dame the cost purchases, wait for a Amazon sale on disc 30ish pounds price! Another Epic Review Sir!
Thanks, Karak! I will wait to see how it fills out. Maybe in 6 months - year.
What you think about it now , cant find much about it now jut shit from release
I've had a blast in both the Betas just with a few friends racing and exploring. Will be picking it up on Friday.
And you will be playing it for a week at max.
Kai Elde I’d rather play this for a week than the last of us for a day
Planet RXR Yeah, but the Last of Us is a game people will actually remember.
same here, i played the first Last of Us for about 20 mins and never went back to it
TheJrockfreak well that’s your loss
I'm honestly so into this game right now ive got about 32 hours in it
This has nothing to do with the review but just wanted to let you know that I've been with your channel since before 100k subs. Back when you when you used to (and were allowed) to say " angry centaur gaming" during your opening sequences. Damn that had such a good sound to it! Noticed you're about to hit 500k. Congratulations. I love seeing your channel and quality grow. Your content is awesome. You're viewers have mad love for you, your beanies, and that alpha male beard!
my thanks
Personally, this is one of the best games I have played in a while. Its RPG elements are extremely fun. Exploring this huge world is amazing. I hope there’s a review of this game that’s positive because if you give this game a try you can have a lot of fun. Playing it is surprisingly better than watching it. You are free to have your own fun.
Amen to that. I love this game...it's a lot of fun both solo and more so with others. It's a great place to drive / pilot beautiful machines. Hell...I've driven coast to coast in a friggin Grand Cherokee...just because I could. Although the classic Porsche 911 is a must for sure (bad boys bad boys...watcha gonna doooo). A couple of us bought Ducatis for a road trip from Florida to the Golden Gate bridge. We then hooned around there in both planes and boats - because we could...and with pals, you make your own fun.
I enjoy the random encounters with strangers too...people you meet on the road and then cat n mouse it across states...then part ways later on but you've had fun racing someone else on the way.
Personally...I will find a lot of fun with this game. People can have their different opinions, of course...but mine in this instance is that Crew 2 is hella fun.
Ive tried it for a couple of hours. That was enough. I didnt like it at all. I came second in a race and the game out me third. The car felt like i was driving a boat. And the car mid air acted unnatural and when i jumped a big ramp, the car flew maybe 3 meters in the air and landed 0.3 second after it launched. I was looking fotward to it
Do you know what the data usage for the Crew 2 is like, how many Mb/sec does it take
ACG Reviews are the best out there
i played the beta and it was fun but got a little bored...racing was already but i wanted more from it.. Does the full game act better? or is it just like beta? Can i get more then 3 slots for fast switch? Does the cut scenes look better with better voice acting? can you custom your driver more? there was not much at all to pick from and i didnt see any way to change them.. Can you look up in a car? I could never look up or have a over the top view to see anythings.. its the little things i need fixed before i spend $60
if you dont like the beta then the full game is not going to satisfy you, thats my experience.
The story from the Crew 1 was way better then in 2. It's no Shakespeare of course which shouldn't be expected from a race game anyways but the story kept me playing through the end. It's not there in the Crew 2 sadly it's more of a powerpoint presentation if you ask me, which would have been fine like explaining the different gangs from the crew 1 but is way out of place in 2.
Thanks for another excellent review.
As a fan of singleplayer titles, this review made me rather interested in the game but only after seeing how Ubisoft patches and updates the prices and loot systems.
As I expected . Cheers for saving me some cash money.
you bet
i got the game from buying a new gpu but im one of those single player people and one of the people that enyoy grinding out the same events over and over for better parts.i had no problem in terms of money to buy cars as it doesnt take that long to get the money for them if you do quick events or just events that you enyoy (i enyoy the drift events cause they can vary even though its the same track.) and the point of this message is basically. if you enyoy grinding and if you enyoy the singleplayer experience its actually quite fun and enyoyable but i do agree on waiting for a sale to get it.
Never Touch
You're a good reviewer...you're becoming my go to for reviews bc you don't seem as corporate driven (biased). I would like if you would kinda score them...even if it was just A...B...C....F. other than that you're usually very thorough thanks buddy!
who releases a title called " the crew " but does not have multiplayer in it from day 1.
Ubisoft
there is multiplayer?
Edit: you mean with no PvP - I agree it sucks.
I had a lot of fun in the beta just flying around in the planes and cruising around at night. If you want pvp this won't offer much until later. But as a single player arcade sandbox racer it is far more interesting just because of the seamless transition between street, air and water. One impressive thing to mention is also the photo and replay feature that lets you rewind the last 10min at any point. Funnily enough there are many people out there that were surprised at how inexpensive the cars are. I guess it really depends on whether you want a MMO experience or quick casual fun.
I didn’t expect anything different from Ubisoft
I will have to give it an 8/10.
Cons: Cheesy story and and follower concept is a bit far-fetched
Pros: Awesome vehicles and Swap is very fun and brings a whole new concept to racing games. Also, HUGE map and houses
Great. Another open world game that’s big just for the sake of being big and having nothing worthwhile to do. We really need less open world games and more games that have more focus and don’t take 80 hours to beat doing the same shit over and over.
PizzaGamecube That's Ubisoft for you.
No, that’s almost every open world game these days.
Hey ACG great review but I noticed you didn't mention the specific tuning for each car at 11:17 If you press back(on the controller) when you are picking parts there is a whole tuning menu for your car.
I did mention the adjustements yes
My prediction was correct... deep deep sale.. yahoo! The beta was fun for a few hours.. but would never buy it...
Please tell me you tried switching to a boat right over the pool on that cruise ship?
indeed
too late already bought the gold edition . if you like arcade racers this game is for you
apparently not
ACG I feel like you sorta bashed it a bit harder than it really deserved
rudedawg 420 100% agree. An amazing game :D
+Mr. Bean Incredible actually. Especially the multiplayer. GOTY without a doubt.
I do very much disagree but to each their own. The only thing the Crew 2 has over Forza is how advanced the photo mode is but even that has its issues
I played the beta and I liked the unique concept of switching between car, boat and plane at anytime. But I wouldn't budge to buy it mainly because it felt very empty in the huge beautiful map of the condensed USA which they should've forego a 64 player server or just focus on a state and they didn't went crazy enough with the events which drains my excitement juice after 5 events, along with the shallow roster of cars, boats and planes. (Long, expanded comments ahead)
They missed some of the popular car manufacturers such as Mitsubishi, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen but also some classic cars such as the Datsun 510 or BMW 3 Series. Boats...... I don't have a lot of interest in it but I can say maybe more air boats or jet ski could spice it up a bit and they should allow boats to just slide down on solid surfaces. And the planes, I would like to see them go crazy like adding jet planes instead or historic planes such as the Mustang or F-4E Phantom along with adding obstacles in air races instead of just flying straight or plain freestyle aerobatic events.
Absolutely loving the game.
Fast upload! Thanks for being so hard working!!
I find it interesting that it was mentioned this might be a "middle ground" between arcade and sim... I feel no sim in this at all. The handling model is abysmal for a current-gen game. Feels like Crazy Taxi.
Maybe I just misunderstood which aspect is "sim" about it...
DisfigureProstitutes no I think it's worse than that. It's a middle ground between arcade and sim-cade (Forza, Driveclub, Dirt 4, Grid Autosport, PGR, etc), but even that's false imo... this is underwhelming.
I have an unpopular opinion that even the updated The Crew 1 is better than this (although it's very floaty)
DisfigureProstitutes who said it’s middle ground? It’s pure arcade, if it was a mix between arcade and sim, would you be able to ramp a keonigsegg off of a building? O. Sim/Cade implies they have at least tried to put some realism in there, but they haven’t. No that’s fine, makes it far more fun.
DisfigureProstitutes I liked Crazy Taxi, so I'll probably like this 😂
Did they change the handling ? Because I didn't like the previous one ...
Well...forza 4 there I go
Alan Payne yea
Alan Payne it’s gon be lit I got both
Alan Payne enjoy a game that won’t even last you a week! Like all the previous horizons...too much focus on graphics, not enough on the actual content.
Mr. Bean the first one last me plus 200 hours so nope jaja
Cody Pettigrew you get the idea xd
I see what you mean about the vehicle damage, when you drove over a van with the monster-car thing the van that got driven over still looked brand new lol
ya its odd
Personally I love this game single playing or with my friends racing cruising just messing around what ever absolutely love this game. That said they have a very good reason for pvp not being in yet and it is coming, shame it ain't in at launch but come one everyone would have been upset if they would have delayed it 6 months just to fix the coding with the pvp lobbies
Edit: oh and the hyper car class Jaguar concept is amazing sexy looking best sounding car in the game amazing yall check it out
I have to agree with most of what you are saying here. During the beta things seemed "ok" but nothing ever just felt like it all came together well enough to keep me interested beyond a few days of playing. I was really looking forward to this but I feel like there is just a whole lot of "little things" combining to make it overall not that good. Going to wait until september when the big patch comes out and revisit the idea of buying it.
The world at night time looks like Need for Speed from around 2006
and need for speed games from around 2006 were fucking great.
nomercy8989 that's a blessing actually. Compare this to the really good looking night time in NFS 2015 and Driveclub (especially in a stormy weather), sure it's _nice_ to look at but when you're driving at +200 km/h it's total nightmare where you can't see a single thing
Your reviews are the best. Period.
These hate comments are music for my ears
I went from The Crew to 2 ( with some Spintires Mudeunner while awaiting the release ) and was a little miffed that the map was not discoverable , the skills are all but gone and places like the air base have disappeared along with the game point challenges . And don't get me started on street races that funnel you into an alley only to stop you dead with a step in front of a doorway . Or having a vehicle that is not upgraded enough to compete . I had to drive all over the country in a Drag vehicle jumping and speeding just to get parts .
Can't play in offline pass
This game needs some kind of nobel peace prize for actually having supercharger sounds.
Yes been waiting for this review as the open beta left me feeling mixed
Yeah I’m gonna pass on this one
I might get it an a sale down the road (pun intended) but it's not worth full price. As a free roam explorer I was very disappointed that the map was almost exactly the same. They have so much empty space tey could have easily added in more sightseeing locations. Also, the rubberbanding is a huge turn off. It's a cheat, pure and simple.
I was playing the beta and using a controller (XBOX) on PC - I was unable to get the vehicle out of first gear.. Lol it looks kinds lame at 22 MPH. Used my keyboard and got very bored after 30 mins.
sayresy Devino remap the controller dumbass
here goes Ubi pushing out another unfinished title. man the concept had potential.
was the game on sale last year on cyber monday and where was it cheaper im looking to buy it in cyber monday but i dont know where to get it so im just asking where was it on sale last year
i played and did most of the crew 2 open beta in 6 hours i actually liked the crew 2 more then the crew the first game felt boring and the story wasn’t that fun
As person that doesnt care alot about multiplayer and enjoyed crew 1...will eventually get this. Ive already pre-ordered FH4 and this will be nice to play in meanwhile. I dont expect it to amazing or even rival FH3...just better than crew 1. Upgrading system doesnt annoy me that much its improved upon from crew 1 and even in crew 1 prices were crazy with brz being 300k. Its definitely not worse than payback so mighy get it on sale
So no story, no new map, no multiplayer for 60 bucks... how on earth can Ubisoft justify such a high price for a halfass game ??? I guess it's hard to develop planes and boats and probably that's why it took Rockstar so long to make GTA 5 :)
They justify by calling it 'games as a service' which really means, here's our base product and we'll add all that other stuff later.
How cool would it be if you could import your spotify playlists into the crew
the crew is supposed to be a car racing game not frikin boats and arplanes!!! if they took all that effort and focused on the cars only, it couldve been the best open world car racing game for the next 3 yrs!
They ruined it when they introduced planes and boats.
I love me some ACG between watching world cup games. Great timing, Karak
Vehicle switching seems out of place for me. I dont like it, takes away immersion.
As always excellent review ...really feels that you give it your best for each review you do
I didn't like the beta whatsoever.
“Oh dang it I meant to click on a different video. Especially since I’m not into this genre of games at all but I guess I’ll watch a few minutes”
Aaaaaand I watched the whole review lmao. I just really want to make sure that you know you’re one of my favorite channels because I would never consider buying a game like this unless it was like $1 but you somehow made me interested enough to watch the whole thing haha.
Keep it up mayne
thanks so much man
who is here cuz it's only $24 on PS store?
I got it on Cyber Monday
Wait so do I have to be a certain level to buy a supercar or hypercar?
Ubisoft sucks, it seems like every time I see a Ubisoft game I can point out something similar that is higher quality. In this case its Forza Horizon.
New to the channel...love the in depth descriptions you make on games and happy to subscribe. Keep up the good work.
thanks scrat!
overpriced crap ...do they ever learn out of their errors?
No because tons of idiots hyped this game to the moon and back. It even beat forza horizon 4 on a "which game will be better" poll. Just lmao at these sheep.
Random User forza horizon 1 was great. Two was great. Three good.. And then it just got stale. Same old shit with different wrapping.. Guess racing games days are over. Its a shame we dont get masterpieces like most wanted(2004) and underground 2 anymore
Predator i liked nfs the run and hot pursuit (2010), there was no story in hot pursuit but dude the game is amazing, just the music playlist gives me goosebumps, and I like the handling as well!
Mimou Chiron hot pursuit was superb, esp for an nfs title. It's probably the highest rated iteration ever out of the whole franchise. You know it's quality when it was made by the devs of burnout
its fun
ACG...the only reviewers that matter
Been here since the beginning crew! Checking in!
Yep bought it the first week, and now I’ve had it 1 year- totally worth it
Who's betting the division 2 will also be empty and lacklustre?
TD sucked horse asd, and this Will too. Only decent game they have is RB6siege and AC. Not very good is it?
Didn't Sega already make this game 6 years ago with _Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed_ ?
And that game had a track based on _Samba de Amigo_ which automatically makes it better.
haha
Damn, they gave this game a sequel and they still screwed it up.
ya sort of sad
I really enjoyed The first Crew. I'm going to pick-up the deluxe edition! I love the open map and environment
it is amazing.
Where is your review of Jurassic World Evolution or are you waiting for the hard copy release?
Damn, I was actually interested in this game but Ubisoft laid out another game that needs to be updated over and over before it’s complete. Pass.
me as well
Or... wait until it is updated over and over and then buy it. Think that is what I might do. Loos like my kind of game once the bugfixes are in, though that tends to take forever with Ubisoft. I can get over cringey voice acting and stuff.
One annoying thing in this game was the random loot in the world in co-op being there for me, but not my friend. And the one time (the first time we found one) there was loot for both of us, I got a blue and my friend got a purple. That happened in the closed beta.
Please do a review to Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy PC version.
Honestly I loved the first Crew because of the slow grind. So I need to play the beta first. I also loved the empty space. Felt cool, then again there were challenges everywhere so we'll see.
Beta saved me 60 dollars. Such a boring game.
Gentle Singularity way more boring than the first one. Really glad they had the beta
I dont think the game would be boring if we all had steering wheels and if we played with friends
