![A BRUTALLY HONEST REVIEW of MAKKARI [Marvel Snap First Impressions]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/A0qam3Rmhnk/mqdefault.jpg)
Alex, no joke, this is the most GANGSTA opening I've ever heard. You are the MAN. S/O from NYC!
I said the same thing 😂
The Tracksuits make more sense now. Uncle Alex is the type of guy you wanna stay on his good side.
thats why this man is my go to for guides since Dota Underlords
@@soulance8342 mob boss alex
Alex is just a damn solid human, nothing but respect and hats off to this absolute GOAT
What a speech at the beginning! That is the experience of someone who has lived longer, help those younger streamers with your advice, too many fall for contracts like this.
Someone make a gigachad edit of the intro pls. HOOLY HE IS HIM
This is why Alex is a W CONTENT CREATOR 👑
The developers have said "no pay-to-win", so it sounds like all heroes will be available for free and all monetization will be for cosmetics. I've really enjoyed my time in the alpha and I hope they're able to clean up some of the small issues and address some of the balance concerns. If they do, we'll have a really fun, really solid team-based hero game on our hands.
And it seems like some of the cosmetics will be free through the battle passes
woke cosmetics are worth less than spit.
@@dreyga2 Its woke because they're free, and that's based gigachad bodacious style.
@@dreyga2 grow up already
There's an unowned box toggle on the character select screen. Most likely you unlock characters or can buy them to get them faster.
Looking for Marvel Snap content and hit this: never change brother. Hopefully developers take your feedback seriously.
Based Alex. You earned our trust with Ur honest thoughts on snap and I'll continue to trust Ur rivals takes too
Alex. You grow more and more impressive the more I follow your content. You know exactly what you are doing my man. Keep up the great work.
Was very surprised by a quality of a “talk” video. Great as always!
Waiting for Master Blaster team comp in Marvel rivals!
I didn’t know this was made by netease, and when I did man did my heart drop. I play Identity V which is made by them, and they really push skins and cosmetics for high prices. Hoping it won’t be the same here
😮💨
We all know better (from their reputation and past games) 😢
Cosmetic monetization is fine as long as it isn’t pay to win.
@@tiimhotep cosmetics that crash games and drop frames are pretty stupid ngl
It absolutely will be. 20, $30 dollar skins guaranteed and I bet they'll have pay to win custom effects :)
Hey, IDV enjoyer here too and as much as I love Bane. I will never pay that much just for a skin that doesn't really do much and goodluck if they would have the same love for Asia to NA/EU.
Alex honoring all subs i bought for myself and the chat with this intro. Keep it up, man!!
Amazing review! I'm keen to play this eventually and I appreciate learning about it from creators like you.
This opening speech is why we are all here and why you deserve all the success in the world, Alex! ❤
I don't even play snap but still watch all your vids. One of my favorites content creators for sure!
Never doubted Alex since the day I subscribed and I will continue the support from Snap to Rivals or to any game you will play in the future.
I feel like the climbability on maps is purposefully done with coverings in some areas, same as with Overwatch, you don't want your DPS wall climbers just climbing every and any wall, there needs to be limitations on a movement ability like that.
It's a great time to be an honest content creator
Solid review, yeah my biggest gripe about the game is the map layouts and some of the hero balancing. Odin's Archive needs a rework and chars like Starlord are busted.
However, the game is very polished for an alpha, and hopefully they act on this feedback.
hero balancing isnt a issue it s a alpha characters will be a lot different when game comes out
Great review, I couldn’t agree more, as I have also been enjoying this alpha a lot as well. I think you landed all the issues, all the amazing qualities and all the OKs. And like yourself I will not touch that CC contract without that clause being removed. The saddest part honestly is they really don’t need it. This is one of if not the best alpha release game I have ever played
Maximum respect to you Alex, I am glad you have integrity and am proud to be with you as a subscriber. You deserve more.
More like Alex Goatcia. Appreciate your honesty and the way you approach those things.
Alex when I start making content and have to sign anything I will show all of them this opening you da man.
I have to comment too: thanks for that intro Alex.
I’ve been enjoying playing as Black Panther he’s my highest playtime hero. You gotta stay back, snipe, stay near healers, and use vibranium mark carefully. It’s really fun once you get the hang of it.
Will you be uploading regular gameplay videos as well? I know you look for making videos with a clear purpose that're usually informative like for snap. But I'd find it really cool if we could also just get regular gameplay. Just for fun yk...
I really like you said around 8:20. One thing I think Overwatch did exceptionally well is to create maps that clearly accommodate hero's abilities.
They make it very clear to characters who can climb/fly where they can access, as well as ensuring many of the "warzone path" such as the gap everyone must pass through is almost exactly the same size of a reinhardt's shield. It communicates very clearly and intuitively to players that you need a shield wielding tank to walk through this part of the map safely, or you can climb over this particular ledge to go around it. If you pick rocket racoon hoping to gain high ground but the map cock blocks you from gaining that advantage, that's poor map design.
My overall impression of rivals from watching it is that it can be the next big game like Overwatch, but it's got a lot of polishing work to be done.
While absolutely not a game I'd be remotely interested in, I gotta respect your honesty in having an open review of this. This is the kind of gaming commentary we need more of.
I am 100% onboard with you're review. Also love that you are playing a lot of Mantis. I think she is great and they need to give more credit to those who are in the healing role.
100% co-sign from Boston. You’ve gained a subscriber
Alex, respect to you for being one of the most honest, open content creators (not just for Marvel, overall!).
Question: have you considered going after an interview with SD similarly to what Dera and Cozy did? I think that you grilling Ben or Glenn on some of Snap's most pressing issues would be amazing!
This intro is why i have watched your videos for ages now. :)
Some cosmetics are pay 2 win in terms of blending in. Like Fortnite the dance flip to lay down you can hide behind beds in houses and not be seen
"Damn, I gotta put PANTS on!" - Alex Coccia, 2024
Absolutely based opening. You're the man Alex keep doing what you do! Also got into the alpha and yeah im loving this game. Maining Namor right now and im having so much fun playing him
Alex, love that you are the adult in the room for these young buck streamers. Appreciate your hard work!
I was looking for an actual review of this that wasnt just someone completely praising the game cause of the contract they didnt read. so it was really nice and refreshing to hear a real review that praises the game for the things it does good but points out the flaws as well. great view which is why im subbed now.
Thanks for the kind words, and welcome to the channel!
first time watcher of your videos and wanted to say this is really really great review, amazing commentary on the ins-and-outs of gameplay, contractual obligations, and just straight up what players really want to know! cant wait to see more!
Much love, thank you!!
Looking slick with the new cut! 🫡👍🏻😊
I don't play Snap anymore, but you're still a G Alex. Nice review.
Appreciate people like yourself who do care about your reputation and the community more than money. One of my fav youtubers ended 2023 with a clickbait video that ended up being a 7 minutes raid shadow legends promo. Went out of their way to make it vague, and didn't even mention it in the thumbnail or title it had anything to do with the game.
Really appreciate the honesty! Super excited for when it comes to console so me and my sister can play, I honestly don’t mind if they make it so you can pay for a hero as long as you can earn them like in overwatch or get coins to get them like in apex
Subbed. Thanks for the transparency.
Got my sub just from the intro! Respect
Marvel rivals on steam said the release date was to be announced. what should i do? i wanna play really bad
I heard somewhere that this game is also supposed to come out on MAC. Does anybody know anything about it since Steam only listed it for windows only.
I think the team bonuses are cool and when lots of characters get in the game and they have lets say 12 bonuses at a time that still provides them and changes the meta for that season but gives lots of choice
Much love, Mr. Coccia. You have my utmost respect for always being honest.
Thanks Alex, great honest vid! Game still looks fun, excited to try.
I think we need to give the maps some time because the destructible maps provide a lot of alternate routes to avoid choke points and players are not using it to its full potential because the game is so new
I think having team synergy that’s boosts characters stats is amazing. Making it seasonal could be an issue but it would be easy to figure out. FF should get buffs together
Alex, I hope this game sticks the landing. It'll be fun and awesome to add another great game for you, Cozy, Drew, Bynx, and the other creators to cover and diversify content with.
That intro is the reason I fw Alex so hard. Always real
Some of the animations seem almost reskinned from character to character or seem weak all together. When i see people play it, i cant even tell when they use some of their abilities because its just... bleh. Id like to see them touch up the animations and make them alittle more individual or alittle more grand.
Facts I noticed a lot of cut corners myself… mainly the reused animations and the lack of weight in all the different “powers” being used… It eerily reminds me of that “Shinobi Striker” game lol… (not a good thing )
Amazing intro, just subscribed.
When does the Alex Coccia speaking tour start? You should the keynote of every Social Media MBA track everywhere!
If I didn’t read the term and signed I’d pull an iCarly in the shoe episode. “It’s totally awesome it lags when Strange portals.”
Looking forward to this one. Thanks!
Alex for President! Never thought you are going to talk about this.
The destructible environments were the biggest thing I noticed. It was so hard to know what was destructible even tho there’s a button, the respawning was super fast and annoying and it felt forced just to have something fresh
Dude. That intro was awesome
Thank you for your honesty
Alex is one of a few we can really trust. Never before he left the community down, as he realizes how hard is to build a trust and how easy it is to loose.
Really cool and a good review. Pretty sure this wasn't the decisions of the actual devs, because they probably would like the feedback
The awnings that prevent climbing might be intentional. Maybe having Rocket up in certain areas is OP. Still, seems annoying/frustrating.
Thank you Alex. This is why we champion you as the voice of the voiceless.
Thank for the video and your opinions; I appreciate the honesty.
i main mantis too and as a healer i find it very hard to heal cant LOS most of the time
GOAT shit. That’s why I’m subbed. Cause you a real one.
Commenting and liking for algorithm, what a real opening❤
I also could not do anything good as Black Panther but I saw some guys with crazy scores, like 23-4 or something, so I guess he just requires a certain playstime I am not as good at.
Nice review brother!I agree on a lot f these points
From one old video game dad to another you have my loyalty and respect keep telling them the truth about the product that is being made to us gamers your honest straight up opinion matters
Best rivals vid on yt. I'm glad you're real
Is this Game going to be for Mobile, 🖥 PC or System.
W Alex I quit snap and this dude is still entertaining lol
Been around since underlords. Good stuff. Big Ws alex
And that's the bottom line...cause Alex Coccia said so! Great opening.
I want an alpha key so badly just to try this game out. It looks fun. I don’t care if it’s a clone of other hero shooters.
Alex is just goated atp.
Your main concern is my main concern. Overwatch 2 just made its whole roster free to play this last month or so. So I'm a bit worried about this games hero acquisition knowing the publisher. Hopefully, they aren't greedy like early overwatch 2 and sell hero's.
Alex Coccia: Man of the People
Thanks for the thorough explanation
5:09 just came from a stream of someone absolutely destroying enemy teams as Black Panther. I don't think he's bad, I think like Genji, he's just very hard to play.
Also find it funny nobody seems to have anything to say about the video itself. All the comments are just 'That opening speech'.
This review was beautiful if I was a developer i would tear up and all
Alex time thanks for the vid & being honest God bless you brother and your family.
Nice intro ..got my sub!!
i don't even know how i was able to get access to the alpha. but watching it was fun
Much respect
When I grow up, I want to become Alex Coccia (I am already grown unfortunately but I still aspire to have so much chad energy as he does).
FairPlay Alex! I appreciate the honest thoughts on the game
The no negative rule is a silly idea, criticism is good, it highlights what needs to be changed in the upcoming months.
Alex is such a goat and so real for that speech about content creatoes
That’s why he calls them honest reviews cause Mr.Coccia doesn’t lie
This is why you are the best content creator out there Alex! I can’t wait for it to drop on console!
Luna Snow isn’t overtuned are you crazy?? She doesn’t even have a passive and has no mobility
Mad Respect! ❤ You are ma' gangster!
you dropped this bro 👑
I read it initially as “Metallic Chads” 😂
Wait so if you don’t sign you can’t play ?
Appreciate your integrity Alex, keep marching to that 100k. Character art does look cool but those maps look like Overwatch reskins. Not to say that's bad per say but would love if they felt more "Marvel".
Can’t wait for the open beta (I hope) 😮💨
Thanks for sharing this Alex. I was wrong about you and I'm deeply sorry for thinking otherwise
