I'd say Battlefront is the worst game of the year. Not because of it being worse than the other shits this year, but because it shit all over Star Wars Fucking Battlefront. Think about that. Battlefront. I've waited ten years for Star Wars Battlefront 3. Ten. Fucking. Years. This game shit all over my goddamn childhood. And you know what the worst part is? It sold like fucking hotcakes.
Biggest disappointment for me. The game I was most looking forward to tbh. After Mack and TB's reviews I knew I would hate it! I won't even pick it up on sale in the future
I kinda feel bad for those "NFS" actors; they were probably thinking to themselves "Alright! I can finally advance my career beyond porn shoots and get into real acting!"
+Worth A Buy Mack, I think you should just go out there and make your own game. Show them how it's done. (It's just a suggestion. I know you're pretty busy as it is but a boy can dream. Thanks for bringing a bit more class to the gaming world with every video. Never stop!)
Mack you are the definition of a true youtube personality, someone who makes these videos for the viewers and not just for the money and like many others I'd like to thank you for it and hope you have a happy new year!
+necropig Each time they release a game they release it under a different "subsidiary" of Digital Homicide as well. One of them being ECC games which published "Devils Share" and "Galactic Hitman", and DH also released games under the name "Micro Strategic Games Design"...among others. Jimquisition has done a lot of research into DH and the garbage they create. What a mess. :/
necropig Its a guy and his brother, but they are one company...and the whole situation between them and Jim is hilarious. Definitely worth looking in to if anyone hasnt. :)
+necropig Jim Sterling said it was over 20 in 2 years, many of them under different names to hide their identity. You have to dig all over the place to form up a list. Most will not come up from similar searches on the "developer" or "publisher"(which are actually the same few pricks). They know the games they produce are complete shit, so their solution is to just keep changing names. Rather than actually learn how to make a video game worth something or invest any amount of time into doing so, they instead just mass produce garbage and use whatever dirty scamming tricks they can to get it sold. They are basically con artists in the game industry, and are what happens when you easily allow anyone to slap together shit and publicly distribute it for them without any kind of quality control or regulation. Valve doesn't give the slightest shit about any of this, nor that their store is filling up with this kind of garbage.
Glad to see Battlefront here, such a huge disappointment for me personally and an absolute rip off if ever there was one... I must be getting old and grumpy though as there are plenty of people defending it because hey... It's Star Wars! Ergh...
+bowser515 I bought it on release. Played through the tutorial and a bit of multiplayer and nothing changed since the beta. I haven't played it since day 1. So very disappointed.
***** I agree, the fact it looks so good makes it all the more annoying as it could have been something very special. Designing it for kids was also a huge mistake. They aren't as stupid as EA seem to think. If they had given this more substance, the kids would soon have learned it and the adults could have enjoyed it also...
+Kristiantio905 Not sure where you get that from but I personally know loads of developers, loads of publishers, I speak to quite a few on a weekly basis, I have also been invited to some of the largest publishers such as 2k and see the goings on in these places, how they are designed more importantly who calls the shots. The actual design of the games is with the devs NOT the publishers, the pubs say what must stay and what must go in order to make deadlines and stay on budget. This frustrates the devs and I know two personally that quit their jobs over it. My point in the video is that games are just copies of eachother, no new design concepts, the maps especially are badly designed which has a huge knock on effect on how the game plays out, this is NOT a publishers decision, it's 100% design which falls to the developers.A great example is Medal of Honor Allied Assault, it was made in 2002 and I recently bought a server and introduced about 20 of my subscribers to the game, they bloody love it, we play for hours and they are always asking me to organise more games. The map design is superb which makes for brilliant strategic games where skill and cunning are massive factors. This was made back when people gave a shit about their products, you can see the love that went into the game, every inch of the map is worked out and put in with meaning....look at COD, the maps are the exact opposite, they are just thrown together without a care in the world which is why they play so horribly.SWBF was not made to be a deliberate POS, it was done to the best of their ability, just a shame they have not ability.
Nasmr Let it be 70% trash, I mean 60%+ of amazon is trash. As long as steam doesn't promote these trash games by pushing it into our faces with popups and promotions, I can care less that it on there.
Your story is very inspiring Mack. I'm happy you're still doing what you've always wanted to do and finally making money at it, all because you kept at it and never gave up. Keep up the good videos! Thanks.
Been here since the channel started, and followed your Mackscorner too. Your honesty and "not giving a shit about others opinions and influence" attitude is appreciated. Your channel could grow much faster if you decided to take the easy road and lick everybody's ass and do paid reviews. The best thing about your reviews - no mercy :D. And after hearing your story I have even more respect for you. I am currently in a stage of life where you really start asking yourself "What the f*ck do I do now?". Finishing my masters degree in Mechanical engineering in a year, and will need to take the first real step towards real employment and work. It's a good lesson - get up and do whatever it takes to succede. Good luck, and btw we need more videos with your co-host, Mr. Rabbit!
I F**ing love you Mack... I haven't laughed this hard in months literally. I just upgraded my PC to a SLI 980Ti rig, and all I've done is watch your videos. Mack, you are the most entertaining chap on TH-cam! You always make my day :) Developers, please release more of this crap!! We want more!! It's a whole new kind of entertainment watching these videos... Especially with two 980Tis lol. Keep up the entrtaining work Mack :):)
you forgot about that game where the game becomes unplayable after a certain number of global deaths occur, or something along those lines. forget the name of the game.
+NowItsInTheTrashCan TBH I could have made a 24hour long video and included a shit load more but I did not have time, I was meant to be taking the whole of Christmas and new Year off but first chance I had when the missus went out I recorded a three part review of the year video haha :)
+jebril Thanks, I have had quite a lot of people saying that my little story gave them hope and that was one of the reasons I mentioned it, no matter what the situation, go for your dreams but then hope the bankers don't mess it up ;)
I bought dinosaur hunt Africa contract twice, (gifted it to a friend as a joke) and played it coop with him for 4 hours straight one time. Considering how much fun and laughs I got from it, it was the best 2 dollars I've ever spend.
I nominate Slaughtering Grounds for the title of Worst game! I'm surprised Dead linger is not on the list. On a lighter/positive note. That was an inspiring story. I'm glad your life has worked out for you. I recently went back to school, hoping to acquire a new skillset to improve myself because I got layoff a long while back, became unemployed for years and was surviving on NEETbux.
dead linger at least deserves the respect of knowing when to quit, and being honest about it. not defending the game, just that the honesty of the devs, specifically zag/Geoff Keene, is almost unheard of in the industry. they were over ambitious, and took on more than they could chew, but at least admitted their mistake, and in stead of just slapping 1.0 on it and calling it done like most would, they announced its being delayed indefinitely/cancelled with possible plans to open source it if anyone wants to try. despite the shitty product, that deserves a little respect I think.
I strongly disagree with batman being on the list. I played it on ps4 and it was great, probably my favorite in the series. When it comes to the combat you can't just button mash through the game, you encounter enemies eventually who that just won't work on. Despite me disagreeing with you sometimes I still really enjoy your content, your stuff can be funny as hell and I love it. Keep up the good work Mack.
People shouldnt have a go at you as much as they do. When you review a game you talk about all the little things that would bug me if i payed £50. But after your videos i can decide weather to buy that game at that price or not without being disappointed (weather i can cope with the bad things in the game over the good)...if that makes sense. So thanks Mack have a great new year and heres to the next review
I was watching this in video in Kroger's while the wife was shopping. I was laughing so hard I was crying. I kept looking around thinking someone is going to think I am having a nervous break down because I cant afford to buy a Starbucks coffee. Thanks for making my day with this video.
F*ck sake Mac, could you make me any more of a fan? Well at the start of the video! Went through the exact same thing while building a theatre company! Look forward to your vids in 2016.
I really wish the Yakuza games come to PC. It has some amazing combat. People were blasting Yakuza 5 for not being as "sophisticated" as the Arkham games. Yakuza doesn't tell you when the enemy is attacking, when to counter, and it doesn't move the character for you.
When you played the song from 1970 I was lucky my cup was big enough to spit my drink right back into it or I would have destroyed my keyboard.. had a good laugh there, thanks Mack..
LOL. Ah, Mack...you make me almost thankful that there are so many shit games out there.......almost. If they're going to be there anyway, we might as well make the best of it. Better to laugh than to cry.
I can agree that Arkham knight was a bad game, but I personally like the combat, I don't know if it's just me but in the later fights in the game you can't just spam the attack button; The enemies have shields, shock batons, swords and there are brutes who are not damaged by a normal attack. And when your facing a large group of enemies you can't spam attack because they will all swarm you. The early combat is really easy and you can clear a room in a few seconds at the start but I just try and go for really high combos.
Our most popular gaming show on ABC in Australia is called 'Good Game'. The male host was dribbling every time he talked about that batman game and gave it game of the year..LOL . The female host (Hex..not a bad sort) Did the same only her fanboy GOTY was Witcher 3. They lost all credibility in two simple statements.
Welp, to see these guys charge those prices when i got my Undertale for 7,99 seems just criminal. THANK FUCK for small / indipendant reviewers like you mack. The big review sites and magazines have completely given up actually critiquing things that are bad because they're afraid of losing their premium access if they don't fall into line with publishers. If it wasn't for credible indipendant sources like you, i would probably have stopped buying games alltogether and just focused on the ones i already had. Btw, i'd LOVE to see you take a shot at Undertale. I won't be able to give you continued support as a patreon, but i'd buy a key for Undertale for ya, as a late Christmas Gift, if you'd consider taking a look at it. It's literally taken a place among only two other games on a special olymp of mine, as one of the best gaming experiences i've ever had. Just contact me on twitter or steam and i'll gladly provide you a copy :)
What's sad is, there are games that are old and need remakes HD and well a full remake. But there never noticed at all there old and crap but have really good concepts. There are games i like from 2001 - 2011 but they need a remake. Pacific storm: allies, The i of the dragon, Legendary and battle stations. They need a remake but no there just forgotten and abandoned with modders trying to revive the game alittle. (I would really like to see a HD remake of medal of honor) I was quite sad that the game where you get to play as a griffin is bad. but I've seen worse trying to let you play as a mythical creature.
+THE_JEDI_GUY 7 days to dine but it's more for small player groups, the servers don't cater for huge player counts. Hurtworld is very similar to Rust and has plenty people playing but nothing is really awesome atm.
THE_JEDI_GUY You will eventually find people to play with in DayZ Mod(most likely if you join TS3 servers). There's not too much in the crafting department, but it's amazing when the servers are good(I play on insurrection servers btw). You will get in firefights that you can't anticipate, will need to be tactical in order to win the 'battles'. It's quite realistic. The current price (1/5 of the old price) for ArmA 2 Combine Ops is a no brainer if you like tactical shooters and DayZ Mod adds the survival element which makes ArmA even better. It has it's flaws, a load of them, but I can get over them and love this game. No game has ever given me an adrenaline rush as this one. Source: Playing DayZ Mod/ArmA for a very long time.
+THE_JEDI_GUY 7 days to die is a good one so is Don't Starve or Don't Starve Together depending on what you want there's also ARK but you need a really beast PC. It depends on what you want from the game 7 days is an intense survival crafting game where zombies are the top problem and players are the least of your worries. Don't Starve is a game with a unique art style where your main thing to deal with is hunger and sanity it also features certain monsters during day time and night time and DST is just that with multiplayer (Not sure about PVP never played it). ARK is a beautiful survival game where you have to survive in a world with dinosaurs and 10fps. Rust is a primarily PVP and base building survival game with not much to loot but a lot to craft. DayZ (Don't recommend standalone get Arma3 Dayz or arma 2) is basically Arma with looting and a couple zombies thrown in lots of PVP can be intense at times shitty controls.
+THE_JEDI_GUY I've put 100's of hours into 7 days to die and Empyrion, both very different, and still Alphas, but good fun. I am also starting the long dark, very different, but enjoying that too. Subnautica is also good.
The black guy with the weird ass hair at 16:06 was in some other TV shows, and was a decent actor. So to give such a cringey act must have been the director forcing them all to act like fools.
i do have to argue that some arent even doing this for practice like digital homicide just shitting out a bunch of unity assets onto steam to make a quick buck at least with learning its not completely greed filled
I see your complaint with Arkham Knight, Mack, but I'm fine with it. However, in the combat of the Arkham Series, I usually handicap myself, to make it a lot more fun. I understand that you shouldn't need to do that, though.
Surprised H1Z1 isn't there; if only for the blatant bullshitting the devs engaged in prior to launch and then promptly contradicted all they'd said by adding blatant money grubbing pay to win in the form of air drops.
Why do others think Battlefront is bad? I think the reason why I enjoy it is that i try and do the hard achievements or get the collectibles as they are quite hard to get. I guess if I was to not that then it would be a lot duller, as it stands I don't do Blast or any of the modes that are just ppl vs ppl (no vehicles or heroes). But the with heroes and vehicles in are a lot of fun as are the variety of missions which make up small campaigns. Also I know this game isn't like the originals in terms of "Galactic Conquest", yet they are the sand in that you pew-pew your way through. By the logic shown here every shooter is a pew-pew game, but that doesn't make all shooters bad.
I preordered Evovle the first day it was possible and never regretted the choice. To this day I don't see what the fuck are people are on about with the DLC psychosis...
+ArmorDonio But Batman is a game. The whole point of Batman combat is it looking flashy and getting the biggest combo possible. That's what makes it such a good system. It has room for creativity and does a good job making you immersed. Too bad Mack is too old to realize gameplay can do more than just be challenging.
I would have loved the terribly acted FMVs in Need for Speed if they were attached to ANYTHING other than Need for Speed and this shit street racing story, literally ANYTHING ELSE. I'm not going to play a garbage racing game with a garbage street racing story to get FMVs. I couldn't even stomach playing through CnC 4. I love FMVs, but when you attach them to a totally shit game, they're just wasted. Tex Murphy Tesla Effect was good... we need more games like that with our FMVs... I'm glad Battlefront got a listing as well, another CoD MOBA cash shop, just digging up and raping this license because of the new movie. In a year or two the game will be deserted after everyone moves on to the next shiny toy. You're paying over 100$ for a copy and paste MP only game you probably bought already off CoD which will be dead in 1-2 years.
I'd say Battlefront is the worst game of the year. Not because of it being worse than the other shits this year, but because it shit all over Star Wars Fucking Battlefront. Think about that. Battlefront. I've waited ten years for Star Wars Battlefront 3. Ten. Fucking. Years. This game shit all over my goddamn childhood. And you know what the worst part is? It sold like fucking hotcakes.
+nordic fatcheese Yeah I got it for free and I played it for an hour, then sent a ticket to EA demanding my 60 minutes back.
Sogeking309 I must have had at least two years of time logged on my PS2 with Battlefront 2.
Yea its a really really really good game
one of few games..i always come back to
shame they only care about fuckin money
I like it.
Biggest disappointment for me. The game I was most looking forward to tbh. After Mack and TB's reviews I knew I would hate it! I won't even pick it up on sale in the future
I kinda feel bad for those "NFS" actors; they were probably thinking to themselves "Alright! I can finally advance my career beyond porn shoots and get into real acting!"
this has nothing to do with games
You are hands down the most honest, unbiased and accurate reviewer on YT. Furthermore, you are down to earth and humble as a man :)
I may need to go into hiding when I announce my worst game of the year award :o
+Worth A Buy witch err award would that be?
Oooooh LOL Freedom POOPIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
+Worth A Buy The Witcher 3?
+Worth A Buy Mack, I think you should just go out there and make your own game. Show them how it's done. (It's just a suggestion. I know you're pretty busy as it is but a boy can dream. Thanks for bringing a bit more class to the gaming world with every video. Never stop!)
YeshuaReigns Well without him, gaming would be a little less entertaining. Whatever he has, we love him for it.
Mack you are the definition of a true youtube personality, someone who makes these videos for the viewers and not just for the money and like many others I'd like to thank you for it and hope you have a happy new year!
You'll be happy to know the slaughtering grounds developer has released something like 13 games within 2 years ....
+necropig Each time they release a game they release it under a different "subsidiary" of Digital Homicide as well. One of them being ECC games which published "Devils Share" and "Galactic Hitman", and DH also released games under the name "Micro Strategic Games Design"...among others. Jimquisition has done a lot of research into DH and the garbage they create. What a mess. :/
+necropig are they a company or a single developer?
eric 2222 You have issues :3
necropig Its a guy and his brother, but they are one company...and the whole situation between them and Jim is hilarious. Definitely worth looking in to if anyone hasnt. :)
+necropig Jim Sterling said it was over 20 in 2 years, many of them under different names to hide their identity. You have to dig all over the place to form up a list.

I know it was deliberate, I just think making the game overly simple was a mistake, as we're clearly seeing from the negative feedback.
+Kristiantio905 Not sure where you get that from but I personally know loads of developers, loads of publishers, I speak to quite a few on a weekly basis, I have also been invited to some of the largest publishers such as 2k and see the goings on in these places, how they are designed more importantly who calls the shots.

'Gabe Newell wants a bigger house' probably explains how so much trash is allowed onto Steam.
+Jason Mitchell The 5$ he probably gets from every trash game bribing its way onto Steam is adding up, you know.
Definitely. Steam seriously needs self quality regulation
steam os a distributor, it doesnt force you to buy the game or even advertise it everywhere. Stop blaming them
That's not the fucking point. The point is quality control so 70% of the catalogue isn't trash
Nasmr Let it be 70% trash, I mean 60%+ of amazon is trash. As long as steam doesn't promote these trash games by pushing it into our faces with popups and promotions, I can care less that it on there.
Your story is very inspiring Mack. I'm happy you're still doing what you've always wanted to do and finally making money at it, all because you kept at it and never gave up. Keep up the good videos! Thanks.

Keep up the Great work Mack, Happy New Year.
It cracks me up every time you hit the bell. Great vid!
Love the background music, Mack.

i fucking love Rabbit, i want a new channel call it " Rabbit Review"
Hahaha, After you showed those clips from Need for Speed, I feel compelled to play it. Those vids are hilarious.

6:15 it's a HippoGrif ;)
Great video btw, fully enjoyed!
You are a God! Happy new year :)
Thank you Mack for saving me money from these atrocities
I love the little rabbit ^^ He's very skilled ;)
F*ck sake Mac, could you make me any more of a fan? Well at the start of the video! Went through the exact same thing while building a theatre company!
Look forward to your vids in 2016.
Also Mack. Never get excited for a modern EA game.
Your Channel is awesome!!!Keep going! Greets from Germany
There are awards coming, too?!? I can't wait!! ;-)
haha love that rabbit. the expressions are priceless
10:58 just realized that's the same giant spider model that that island game Salt uses.
Suprised you didnt mention BF Hardline.
I really wish the Yakuza games come to PC. It has some amazing combat. People were blasting Yakuza 5 for not being as "sophisticated" as the Arkham games. Yakuza doesn't tell you when the enemy is attacking, when to counter, and it doesn't move the character for you.
I agree with the start, I make "games" as well but I would never charge for them because they aren't fit to sell
Great list. Just one thing, where the hell is the Wither 3? I wasted 50 buck and 4 days of my life battling with that horrible broken mess.
I didn't see purple midgets. Gasp. Wow the list just keeps on going; the horror! Whatever that game was... Nevermind. My head hurts.
i'm pretty sure the need for speed WAB was the hardest i laughed during the whole year. i needed a nap after that.
When you played the song from 1970 I was lucky my cup was big enough to spit my drink right back into it or I would have destroyed my keyboard.. had a good laugh there, thanks Mack..
i still shake my head as soon as i see the nfs interlude scenes
wait, wasn't slaughtering grounds 2014?
+fastdak25 Yeah but I reviewed it in 2015 so it's worst games of the year that I reviewed
+Worth A Buy rule number one. Don't analyze Mack's words, just accept.
+Worth A Buy come back to ark and try it out its fantastic
Hey Mack. What are your computer specs?
"That's all you gotta do, just pew pew pew pew!" XD
I want that on a shirt.
keep it up mack.. i also felt same on mad max hated it first hour now been on it all week.. hope you triple your viewers in 2016
also more bells and swearing next year
LOL. Ah, Mack...you make me almost thankful that there are so many shit games out there.......almost. If they're going to be there anyway, we might as well make the best of it. Better to laugh than to cry.
+turbofanlover Yeah there is that lol
Stop punishing us with those need for speed cutscenes man, it hurts.
worth a buy, did you do the boropat (funniest on youtube) videos a few years back? You sound the exact same lol
Mac you forget Phantom Pain......**Cough** FOB Insurance **Cough** **Cough**
I can agree that Arkham knight was a bad game, but I personally like the combat, I don't know if it's just me but in the later fights in the game you can't just spam the attack button; The enemies have shields, shock batons, swords and there are brutes who are not damaged by a normal attack. And when your facing a large group of enemies you can't spam attack because they will all swarm you. The early combat is really easy and you can clear a room in a few seconds at the start but I just try and go for really high combos.
Did you hear about what happened to Jim Sterling concerning the slaughtering grounds?
Doesn't Rabbit have a hole in his ear from when you nailed him to a wall?
What's the name of the background music at the start?
Holy shit dat rabbit! I lost it on the rabbit! lol
If a game that is not worth a buy goes on sale, does it make it into the list of games that are worth a buy for that period the said game is on sale?
Our most popular gaming show on ABC in Australia is called 'Good Game'. The male host was dribbling every time he talked about that batman game and gave it game of the year..LOL .
The female host (Hex..not a bad sort) Did the same only her fanboy GOTY was Witcher 3. They lost all credibility in two simple statements.
Welp, to see these guys charge those prices when i got my Undertale for 7,99 seems just criminal.
THANK FUCK for small / indipendant reviewers like you mack. The big review sites and magazines have completely given up actually critiquing things that are bad because they're afraid of losing their premium access if they don't fall into line with publishers. If it wasn't for credible indipendant sources like you, i would probably have stopped buying games alltogether and just focused on the ones i already had.
Btw, i'd LOVE to see you take a shot at Undertale. I won't be able to give you continued support as a patreon, but i'd buy a key for Undertale for ya, as a late Christmas Gift, if you'd consider taking a look at it. It's literally taken a place among only two other games on a special olymp of mine, as one of the best gaming experiences i've ever had. Just contact me on twitter or steam and i'll gladly provide you a copy :)
What's sad is, there are games that are old and need remakes HD and well a full remake. But there never noticed at all there old and crap but have really good concepts. There are games i like from 2001 - 2011 but they need a remake. Pacific storm: allies, The i of the dragon, Legendary and battle stations. They need a remake but no there just forgotten and abandoned with modders trying to revive the game alittle. (I would really like to see a HD remake of medal of honor)
I was quite sad that the game where you get to play as a griffin is bad. but I've seen worse trying to let you play as a mythical creature.
Will you do a most dissapointing games list ?
Evolve...this game got the ball rolling for the "less content for full price" bullshit and the kiddies love it.
The end of a year of crap games and the start of a new year of crap games.
Hey Mack, I'm looking for a cool survival game on steam, I just don't know many good ones, would u happen to know any good ones??
Don't starve
+THE_JEDI_GUY 7 days to dine but it's more for small player groups, the servers don't cater for huge player counts. Hurtworld is very similar to Rust and has plenty people playing but nothing is really awesome atm.
THE_JEDI_GUY You will eventually find people to play with in DayZ Mod(most likely if you join TS3 servers). There's not too much in the crafting department, but it's amazing when the servers are good(I play on insurrection servers btw).
You will get in firefights that you can't anticipate, will need to be tactical in order to win the 'battles'. It's quite realistic.
The current price (1/5 of the old price) for ArmA 2 Combine Ops is a no brainer if you like tactical shooters and DayZ Mod adds the survival element which makes ArmA even better.
It has it's flaws, a load of them, but I can get over them and love this game. No game has ever given me an adrenaline rush as this one.
Source: Playing DayZ Mod/ArmA for a very long time.
+THE_JEDI_GUY 7 days to die is a good one so is Don't Starve or Don't Starve Together depending on what you want there's also ARK but you need a really beast PC. It depends on what you want from the game 7 days is an intense survival crafting game where zombies are the top problem and players are the least of your worries. Don't Starve is a game with a unique art style where your main thing to deal with is hunger and sanity it also features certain monsters during day time and night time and DST is just that with multiplayer (Not sure about PVP never played it). ARK is a beautiful survival game where you have to survive in a world with dinosaurs and 10fps. Rust is a primarily PVP and base building survival game with not much to loot but a lot to craft. DayZ (Don't recommend standalone get Arma3 Dayz or arma 2) is basically Arma with looting and a couple zombies thrown in lots of PVP can be intense at times shitty controls.
+THE_JEDI_GUY I've put 100's of hours into 7 days to die and Empyrion, both very different, and still Alphas, but good fun. I am also starting the long dark, very different, but enjoying that too. Subnautica is also good.
Huh where's the buy game links??
Laughed my ass off. Great video!
The black guy with the weird ass hair at 16:06 was in some other TV shows, and was a decent actor. So to give such a cringey act must have been the director forcing them all to act like fools.
Hey Mack do u like sports game's? I remember watching the Need4Speed review laughing my head off lol
Are you going to re review Ark when it is fully released?
In fairness the first 2 battlefronts were fairly "pew pew" but they were great
I'm surprised the flock never made the video, "12 ninety-f**king nine??" :D
i do have to argue that some arent even doing this for practice like digital homicide just shitting out a bunch of unity assets onto steam to make a quick buck at least with learning its not completely greed filled
Well done, Mack.
Hey Mack, if you ever get the chance, could you do a review of primal carnage extinction and/or Godzilla for ps4
I see your complaint with Arkham Knight, Mack, but I'm fine with it. However, in the combat of the Arkham Series, I usually handicap myself, to make it a lot more fun. I understand that you shouldn't need to do that, though.
Surprised H1Z1 isn't there; if only for the blatant bullshitting the devs engaged in prior to launch and then promptly contradicted all they'd said by adding blatant money grubbing pay to win in the form of air drops.
Why do others think Battlefront is bad?
I think the reason why I enjoy it is that i try and do the hard achievements or get the collectibles as they are quite hard to get.
I guess if I was to not that then it would be a lot duller, as it stands I don't do Blast or any of the modes that are just ppl vs ppl (no vehicles or heroes). But the with heroes and vehicles in are a lot of fun as are the variety of missions which make up small campaigns.
Also I know this game isn't like the originals in terms of "Galactic Conquest", yet they are the sand in that you pew-pew your way through.
By the logic shown here every shooter is a pew-pew game, but that doesn't make all shooters bad.
I need to get one of those bells sees like a way to relieve stress XD
That plane lmao ahahahahahahahaha
I can't believe the new Tony hawk game isn't here
Agreed, it was the biggest turd I'd ever had the misfortune to play last year
god, I laughed so hard watching this, my belly hurts.
Need for Speed for me was by far the biggest let down of a AAA game this year
I preordered Evovle the first day it was possible and never regretted the choice. To this day I don't see what the fuck are people are on about with the DLC psychosis...
Steam should screen games for quality. I mean they should have some friggen standards or something.
I am glad you dind include the witcher 3 on this list. I mean it can be bad but it is by no means not a game.
+ArmorDonio But Batman is a game. The whole point of Batman combat is it looking flashy and getting the biggest combo possible. That's what makes it such a good system. It has room for creativity and does a good job making you immersed. Too bad Mack is too old to realize gameplay can do more than just be challenging.
SetzarothTV The worst part is the self righteousness of both the fans and Mack, so cringy.
I would have loved the terribly acted FMVs in Need for Speed if they were attached to ANYTHING other than Need for Speed and this shit street racing story, literally ANYTHING ELSE. I'm not going to play a garbage racing game with a garbage street racing story to get FMVs. I couldn't even stomach playing through CnC 4. I love FMVs, but when you attach them to a totally shit game, they're just wasted. Tex Murphy Tesla Effect was good... we need more games like that with our FMVs...
I'm glad Battlefront got a listing as well, another CoD MOBA cash shop, just digging up and raping this license because of the new movie. In a year or two the game will be deserted after everyone moves on to the next shiny toy. You're paying over 100$ for a copy and paste MP only game you probably bought already off CoD which will be dead in 1-2 years.
preach it mate its shite being unemployed
keep up the good work Mack! Your wallet can be a more powerful tool than you know if you don't use it on shit cash grabs.
lol until the banking system crashed and I never got a job since ding ding ding
Timing! Just finished the best list this one just uploaded. :)
Mack you should show us you setup!
