@Winston Smith Yep, that’s what most people don’t realize. DLCs were always a part of video gaming. Back in the day, they were called Expansion Packs. I hope that we go back to those days when expansion packs are released with new ships, maps and storyline.
Hell yeah this game is really shaping out really well! Can only hope for more solo and offline content now. Like a survial mode etc... A campaign extension like they did with Battlefront 2 would be great for this game tho!
They only added 2 ships so there 5 for 5v5.. Theyve already announced theyre not releasing anymore content for squadrons. Even less likely now since lucasgames and massive are working on a open world starwars game. Edit: also ea lost its exclusivity license so unless they wanna be sued they legally cant add to it. And no more starwars games untill 2023 when the contract expires also to avoid lawsuit
Respect to joe, he knows this video will likely get claimed and he won’t make revenue on it(from TH-cam, I know he has a sponsor) yet he still wants to provide content to his viewers.
@Wizadd Fish it’s 100% free content and you could completely skip those ads if they don’t apply to you. Zero reason to complain. Joe puts a ton of work into these
@@JeannieLove well when you do this for a living as your job and it costs people like me and you zero dollars to watch and enjoy the work he puts into it, I think every video he does does kinda need to be monetized. Keep in mind also that before he did patreon he did this sometimes too if he couldn’t monetize his videos he would still put them up
No he means Star Wars. Try to use John Williams music in your video and it will be striked. Its not because of Disney its because of copyright laws you dumb f.
I can imagine the developers' hearts beating out of their chests and dropping to the floor after Joe gave the face as if they done fucked it up but then smiled and said they did a great job with the game. That was great lol
Just because the game looks pretty and has no Microtransactions\Loot Boxes doesnt mean its good. It a joke compared to Tie Fighter (1994) lol EA is just incompetent. First that shitty Dark Souls wannabe game Order something and now this trash. EA is a joke. Wanna play a GOOD modern Space Shooter, play Rebel Galaxy Outlaw!
"Where are the instructions?" (Looking around the cockpit). I feel like this is actually what would happen to a rookie pilot while their ship is heading to a debris field.
And then you consider that debris fields aren't actually a threat to even modern spacecraft and by the time we have full scale dogfights in space they'll be even less of a threat I'll go to the dickhead corner

A friend and I were all excited and bought starter ships in middle school. We're in our 3rd year of college now lol. All of the development videos and blog posts have been interesting and I've learned quite a bit about how games are developed so I wouldn't say it was a complete waste. I haven't played the alpha in a while though. Just check back on progress every few months until there's more things to do.
Between this and Jedi: Fallen Order, EA Star Wars might actually be on the right path now. Even with Battlefront II they started showing promise. Sure the loot boxes and progression were bullshit, but the developers stated committed to that game for years, adding tons of new content for free. There is hope at last
Problem is they cut support for Battlefront 2 and instead are making Battlefield 6. And there's been no reports of them making Battlefront 3 even though there gonna make a Jedi fallen order sequel
It takes hours for no good reason, at least in ED and SC all those buttons have a reason to exist. In SW Squadrons the game is dumb and all those options are pointless making the configuration tedious and complex for no reason. Also, the hotas support is ridiculous.
Dont forget hes playing in vr and with very pricey hotas. Something alot of people don't have access to, and something that is perfect for flight sims.

I cannot believe how realistic and immersive it's getting. I hope I Live to see the day where we can upload ourselves into the Star Wars matrix and just live in that universe.
I was let down by the PSVR graphics. Like a LOT. I was confused cause the SW battlefront one VR mission looked SO GOOD. But then I realized it was two different studios. But I bet squadrons looks amazing PC VR though.
Except this engine can't get over 60 fps in 2020. Everybody is locked at 60 fps which leads to a horrible VR experience. You can tell Joe hasn't played many VR games because VR runs like absolute poop for Squadrons.
@@richard2616 Elite Dangerous was going for more realism. You travel through vast emptiness to explore planets with nothing but rocks. Just like in real life.
@@Runakan I hope so as well. I haven’t played since November last year. No drive to play it. In VR it started to just feel like a job. I’ve got an awesome group of guys I play with, but I just have no reason to pick it up again.
This game in VR with a Hotas literally puts you in the Star Wars piloting experience. It's truly amazing! I experienced it with my Index and cheap Hotas.
I played it on psvr. I totally agree. Anyone knocking this game as not good or bad because EA has not played it in vr. The visual of being in the cockpit of an x wing in space flying around in a fleet battle is so epic and so amazing.
@@ItzMeWill Mmm...if you like air combat games and like star wars then yes. But without the vr the experience and the limited modes of the game will likely get old fairly quick. Again. If you like these kind if games you'll have fun. And its only $40 or less on a sale of if you have ea access. I feel vr ir not its worth the money. But with VR its worth $60. It feels like some vr experience you would have at a theme park that you pay $20-40 for a one time pass. But its at home and you can play as much as you want.
"Setting buttons for your HOTAS is gonna take you HOURS" Me, an Elite Dangerous player: First time ? honestly though, setting up buttons on HOTAS compatible games has always been a chore... it comes with the territory it seems
Man, I really went in fucking folks up from the get go. Many years of Battlefield flight controls mixed with my ELITE DANGEROUS rank really wasn't fair to all the Noobs trying to figure just WHY they have to adjust subsystems.......meanwhile I'm trying to hack this bitch into Frameshift Drive somehow and make record time to Hutton Orbital in an Awing.......there HAS to be a way.
ELITE PLATYERS: I was born into immersive spatial flight controls, molded by it. I didn't play similarly difficult space combat sims until I was already a Man.
I dunno, even as someone who's played ED for years, setting up my X-52 for that was a cakewalk compared to this. Can't unbind the menu button, can only reassign it. Defaults to the toggle I'd want to use for shield facing, game forgets your hat is switched to 8-way instead of 4-way sometimes, etc.
"I want this game to do well to show EA this is how it's done, no micro transactions, no loot boxes.." There's people in Apex paying 3 1/2 times the price of a full AAA game just so they can unlock a weapon placeholder melee item a.k.a. heirloom No matter how many records this game breaks, it will never overcome the stupidity of gamers to make microtransactions a gold mine.
@@quabeckjr3 I mean, the difference is only that they are spending the same money that they would on multiple games, but on only one game that they thoroughly enjoy. There is nothing wrong with that so long as the game isn't bad. Apex is by no means a bad game. Maybe it's not one you enjoy, but many others do. You don't get to ban players for spending money on a game that is made well and they enjoy. It would be a different story if the game just sucked.
@@quabeckjr3 I mean that’s kinda how you support BR games is through buying cosmetics but yeah no body should be spending thousands just to get an heirloom. A lot of the popular BRs have been out for 2 or 3 years so dropping 200$ into them isn’t bad if that’s your main game and wanna support
@@anotherhappylanding4746 FIFA is hardly even a videogame imagine spending money on that. Hmmm should I buy dlc with tons of new stuff or gamble for Ronaldo I just don’t get it
Joe probably did some drugs that scrambled his memory. It is EA we are talking about. We need another 3 months to check if they will not activate microtransactions and ads in this game before it is safe to say that it is ok to boy.
Is it only classic Trilogy battles? No fighting Trade Federation droids or battling over the Starkiller base? No dealing with World Devastators or the Sun Crusher from the Extended Universe? Genwunners get what they want, I guess...
Joe, you forgot to mention and praise the fact that the multiplayer is CROSSPLAYYYY!! Such a great feature for friends to play together without the restriction of platforms!!
Joe, you literally got me to buy VR and a HOTAS with this review.... and damn was it worth every penny. This game is awesome, I really would like a couple more maps though.
Tbh... With Jedi: Fallen Order and now Squadrons, I feel like EA finally has found its own footing of what to do with Star Wars games. Make a compelling and great single player, mixed with some balanced out multiplayer, and free from micro-transactions and loot boxes and free post launch content... I think EA finally has found out what to do. Also guys, even tho this game is $40, GO PICK IT UP I've been playing since launch and my god I'm having so much fun!
@@GigglingStoners Don't even try n sound mature or less naive... you go by Giggling stoner for christ sake lol. Making stoners sound like assholes is very un-stony of you... light up n give me 20!!
As someone who has played the entire x-wing series, I can say that this game is amazing! Many of the mechanics from the 90's games, such as the power management, repair, and targeting systems, are here and work very well. I'm also really glad that Tie Fighters don't get trashed if only 2 laser beams hit you like in the original x-wing series (not an exaggeration), and actually have a little bit of durability now.
Yes, I played Xwing vs TIEfighter when it was first released in the late 90s. The management systems are as i remember them, and voice of your pilot while in the cockpit is a nice touch, a throwback to the orginal. But in VR it is just ....... kicks it into another league. Learning to pilot your ship in in and out of the space junk at high speeds is as much fun as blasting an foe into a ball of flame.
I actually loved that the Tie Fighters were disposable and you would have to work yourself up to slightly better craft. In the movies all fighters on both sides get wrecked by just one hit more or less (unless you are the hero) so it's not that X-Wings were accurately depicted.... I don't know, I get why they did this. I won't knock it until I try it.
When I got the game, I was literally on the lowest hype I could be, because of all the shit that happened before with the Star Wars License. BUT DAMN!!! This game is worth every single penny!!
They had to rip the lootbox system from the previous SW game, so i dont really suspect them coming. I mean if they did, no surprise, but just my hunch If anything Disney may be the buffer there, the incident of swbf2 was a literal international law changing event. Disney has enough bad PR for this brand.
It's a shame that Joe uses X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter as his base comparison when, naratively speaking and mission-design wise, both the original X-Wing and Tie Fighter games were vastly superior.
@@jayhan5185 The pain is still fresh... stopped about a year ago, came back recently to find all my bindings reset. I have no idea what I had as my config, can't fly the camera to take my fancy pics, and I'm confused as hell looking at all the options I need to redo!
You should do what Jim Sterling does. Put in a lot of copyrighted materials so that they fight each other and nobody can fully claim it. You won't get money out of it but hey, neither will they.
@@razorback9999able The point of doing it isn't to keep it from getting claimed (which it is) but to force a bunch of different companies to fight over who gets the ad revenue so Disney doesn't get to keep ALL of it for nothing.
Laughed at the part when Angry Joe poked his head into other Joe's cockpit, lol. I bought this for my brother for Christmas & he's a bigger freak'n fan of Star Wars than I am.
I remember waking up at like 6am to play this as a kid, I would go down to my PC and plug in my old Top Gun Thrustmaster and would play X-Wing and Tie Fighter most of the morning. My Mom would come down at like 7:30 in the morning and wonder what I was doing awake so early. Amazing nostalgia trip playing this game. It's too bad people are having issues with HOTAS. that is so strange my Thurstmaster T.Flight Hotas X worked perfectly I didn't have to map any controls just had to figure out what button was what.
I feel like this is going to be something I’ll really enjoy 20 years from now. By then VR will probably be much more ironed out and mainstream and I won’t have to drop $600 for all the equipment needed to play it with that fully immersive experience.
This game is literally a copy of the old “x wing” series. And that’s why it’s fantastic and you gotta play it. I just wish they added more of the ship specific weapon systems instead of giving all ships the same secondaries added all the other starfighters from the series and added some of the ways you can mess up your reactor
Is it very short version of X-Wing but if you search on the net you can see that there's a group of people that have taken X-Wing and they're modernizing it with better graphics and it looks amazing this is like a hit-and-run
Robert yeah that’s good too. But XWA upgrade fails to fix the whole. Controls problem I enjoyed playing it. But squadrons is just a multiplayer focused version that has been better balanced for it. XWA UPGRADE will not be for most people unless they give it modern joystick settings
Mr. Al yeah that’s good too. But XWA upgrade fails to fix the whole. Controls problem I enjoyed playing it. But squadrons is just a multiplayer focused version that has been better balanced for it. XWA UPGRADE will not be for most people unless they give it modern joystick settings. And I mean. You insult it but on what flaw? For 40 bucks it’s a very entertaining game
Tip: the Logitech extreme 3D pro goes for around 30 bucks and is more that sufficient for this game (Add a tiny amount of z axis deadzone) You will need to use your jeyboard and mouse to switch power balance. Give callouts and move shields (shields are on your mousewheel. Remap the look controls to the hat so you don’t have to use free look to look around But it’s a wonderful joystick.
This is the joystick I'm using at the moment, and after about an hour of trial-and-error I managed to map almost everything to the stick. Some are combos and a little hard to get used to at first (one button will change my shield focus depending on tap, double tap, or hold) but it works well enough. I kept my power balance on the hat stick and decided to mostly ignore freelooking, but that's really only an issue in Republic ships anyway. You can't really see anything but forward in any TIE except the Reaper. That being said, I used to own HOTAS set (Saitek X45) like 10+ years ago that eventually broke on me, and I must admit it would be a superior setup. I'm hoping to purchase an X52 soon.
I have too say after expecting a shallow, loot box filled, bare minimum mess. I had a lot of fun with this game, even if you don't have the gear Joe has , it's just a much fun so I agree this is definitely worth a play
@@CarurossTheSecond218 So you can Google the Aurebesh alphabet, which will give you those characters. If you have the original Star Wars Monopoly, the game booklet has the alphabet on the back, so that's another very esoteric reference to it.
Yeah my and my friends played it over the weekend after release. It was fun but yeah we are definitely done with it. It’s a shame really. Not a bad game by any means but definitely a game that deserves more attention.

Compared to Elite Dangerous this one was easy to jump into. ED equally as mesmerizing in VR but the action in Squadrons is simply incredible.
@@richard2616 Elite Dangerous was going for more realism. You travel through vast emptiness to explore planets with nothing but rocks. Just like in real life.
Imagine ED had just a hint of content like this one... or making pve worth something... xD
@@Cianfry89 i hope ED Odyssey make a big change for the game not just add boots on the ground
@@Runakan I hope so as well. I haven’t played since November last year. No drive to play it. In VR it started to just feel like a job. I’ve got an awesome group of guys I play with, but I just have no reason to pick it up again.
Honestly it’s heart warming to see how much love and care Joe puts into these videos and how much he cares about his fans.
And it gets claimed anyways 🙁
Now all we need Is a Podracing VR game on this level, and life will be complete.
Yes please, and a battle royal genosis arena fight please
Man, talk about things you didn’t know you needed until someone else brought it up
Ahem, Wipeout VR, ahem.
@@JonnyHyperbole2090 Not even the same
But we are human we can't handle pod racing anakin is the only human who can do it.
Drinking game: Take a shot every time joe says "HotAzz"
Lol I know! Also every time Henry Cavill is mentioned on this channel its pronounced "Henry CA-VAAAALE"
6:17 finally I have acquired the knowledge that Joe records these without pants on
@@IGRETRO you never know who could be completely naked while recording
This game in VR with a Hotas literally puts you in the Star Wars piloting experience. It's truly amazing! I experienced it with my Index and cheap Hotas.
I played it on psvr. I totally agree. Anyone knocking this game as not good or bad because EA has not played it in vr. The visual of being in the cockpit of an x wing in space flying around in a fleet battle is so epic and so amazing.
@@FNG_Star do you think its worth getting if I don't have the VR set? Because I know that they are 2 completely different experiences
@@ItzMeWill
Mmm...if you like air combat games and like star wars then yes. But without the vr the experience and the limited modes of the game will likely get old fairly quick. Again. If you like these kind if games you'll have fun. And its only $40 or less on a sale of if you have ea access. I feel vr ir not its worth the money. But with VR its worth $60. It feels like some vr experience you would have at a theme park that you pay $20-40 for a one time pass. But its at home and you can play as much as you want.
Everyone who skimmed the video: Joe gave this game a 10/10!
Me who actually watched the video: Joe gave it a 7/10 without VR and stick controls.
He actually gave it an 8
Patches will come to fix minor issues
It’s a flying game. What did you expect. Warthunders mouse controls is an exception not the rule
My hot ass needs to be replaced. But playing with my dual shock 4/psvr is still a 10/10 experience
Kombo Kong it works fine with a Logitech extreme 3D pro so
19:48 looks like joe got his wish disney just announced star wars rouge squadron coming in 2023

If it's VR compatible I'm buying the shit outta that. They have a goldmine in that if they include the trench run.
@@mikzpwnz_3199 It’s a movie.
@@de4thstroke32damn it. A VR recreation of the original game would still be the best thing they could make in ages though.
"Setting buttons for your HOTAS is gonna take you HOURS"
Me, an Elite Dangerous player: First time ?
honestly though, setting up buttons on HOTAS compatible games has always been a chore... it comes with the territory it seems
Man, I really went in fucking folks up from the get go. Many years of Battlefield flight controls mixed with my ELITE DANGEROUS rank really wasn't fair to all the Noobs trying to figure just WHY they have to adjust subsystems.......meanwhile I'm trying to hack this bitch into Frameshift Drive somehow and make record time to Hutton Orbital in an Awing.......there HAS to be a way.
EXACTLY.
ELITE PLATYERS: I was born into immersive spatial flight controls, molded by it.
I didn't play similarly difficult space combat sims until I was already a Man.
@@chrisgatton621 Subsystems and Realistic Space Combat can be POWERFUL agents against the uninitiated. But you and I are initiated arent we.
I dunno, even as someone who's played ED for years, setting up my X-52 for that was a cakewalk compared to this. Can't unbind the menu button, can only reassign it. Defaults to the toggle I'd want to use for shield facing, game forgets your hat is switched to 8-way instead of 4-way sometimes, etc.
"Turning around ona dime" totally is something Anakin did in the og Clone Wars series, which was absolutely sick.
Poe did it too. The only good scene in T.L.J
Its called spinning. Thats a good trick.
I like how Joe dies and screams, while OJ is back there playing unaffected ha
Honestly I love this video because Joe looks extremely happy playing this game
“Where’s the instructions?” 😂 right as he’s about to crash into space debris.
IKR lmao
That is whta you want your pilot to say in-flight :)
Pretty funny but I dont blame him honestly
When he said "I have you now.." before taking out his nemesis dude was absolutely perfect lol😅👍
"I want this game to do well to show EA this is how it's done, no micro transactions, no loot boxes.."
There's people in Apex paying 3 1/2 times the price of a full AAA game just so they can unlock a weapon placeholder melee item a.k.a. heirloom
No matter how many records this game breaks, it will never overcome the stupidity of gamers to make microtransactions a gold mine.
yeah...those "gamers" need to actually be banned from playing games....
@@quabeckjr3 I mean, the difference is only that they are spending the same money that they would on multiple games, but on only one game that they thoroughly enjoy. There is nothing wrong with that so long as the game isn't bad. Apex is by no means a bad game. Maybe it's not one you enjoy, but many others do. You don't get to ban players for spending money on a game that is made well and they enjoy. It would be a different story if the game just sucked.
@@quabeckjr3 I mean that’s kinda how you support BR games is through buying cosmetics but yeah no body should be spending thousands just to get an heirloom. A lot of the popular BRs have been out for 2 or 3 years so dropping 200$ into them isn’t bad if that’s your main game and wanna support
EA won't learn anything because of the billions it makes on loot boxes in FIFA and it's sports titles
@@anotherhappylanding4746 FIFA is hardly even a videogame imagine spending money on that. Hmmm should I buy dlc with tons of new stuff or gamble for Ronaldo I just don’t get it
The frown to smile at the top of the review might be one of my favorite Angry Joe moments ever
An EA game getting a 10/10? Impossible. Perhaps the archives are incomplete.
One million transitions to angry joe accounts. Later ... 10/10
It's because he is a Star wars die hard fan.
Otherwise he would keep the score as 8/10
That's not true that's impossible!!!
-luke Skywalker
Joe probably did some drugs that scrambled his memory. It is EA we are talking about. We need another 3 months to check if they will not activate microtransactions and ads in this game before it is safe to say that it is ok to boy.
I want to see a clone wars version of this seriously how cool would it be to fly a Jedi starfighter/interceptor?
yo all I want is a republic gunship or ARC
Republic commando
Is it only classic Trilogy battles? No fighting Trade Federation droids or battling over the Starkiller base? No dealing with World Devastators or the Sun Crusher from the Extended Universe? Genwunners get what they want, I guess...
@KlazeGamez yeah the clone wars had the best space battles
The ARC-170 is like my favorite fighter in the whole SW universe
Joe, you forgot to mention and praise the fact that the multiplayer is CROSSPLAYYYY!!
Such a great feature for friends to play together without the restriction of platforms!!
@lelwut lol sounds like a salty PC player getting rekt and blaming the game for his lack of skill
Joe, you literally got me to buy VR and a HOTAS with this review.... and damn was it worth every penny. This game is awesome, I really would like a couple more maps though.
Alex was having so much trouble with his flight stick while the Joes were loving it
Me: about to go to bed.
Angry joe: Star wars squadrons reveiw
Me: Hello there 😏
“You are a bold one”
General Joenobi!
Yeah tell me about it :/ 3am here
Tbh... With Jedi: Fallen Order and now Squadrons, I feel like EA finally has found its own footing of what to do with Star Wars games. Make a compelling and great single player, mixed with some balanced out multiplayer, and free from micro-transactions and loot boxes and free post launch content... I think EA finally has found out what to do.
Also guys, even tho this game is $40, GO PICK IT UP
I've been playing since launch and my god I'm having so much fun!
I can't wait for what they have in the future! It's like we blew up EA's death star and the republic is restored
EA is finally learning what people want in their games?! Hell has finally froze over 😨
My god you guys are naive
@@GigglingStoners Don't even try n sound mature or less naive... you go by Giggling stoner for christ sake lol. Making stoners sound like assholes is very un-stony of you... light up n give me 20!!
So for the first time in year is that ea made a good game. Ok some has to tell me if im drugged or not
“Right now I feel like I could take on the whole empire myself!”
"I know what you mean."
As someone who has played the entire x-wing series, I can say that this game is amazing! Many of the mechanics from the 90's games, such as the power management, repair, and targeting systems, are here and work very well. I'm also really glad that Tie Fighters don't get trashed if only 2 laser beams hit you like in the original x-wing series (not an exaggeration), and actually have a little bit of durability now.
Yes, I played Xwing vs TIEfighter when it was first released in the late 90s. The management systems are as i remember them, and voice of your pilot while in the cockpit is a nice touch, a throwback to the orginal. But in VR it is just ....... kicks it into another league. Learning to pilot your ship in in and out of the space junk at high speeds is as much fun as blasting an foe into a ball of flame.
I actually loved that the Tie Fighters were disposable and you would have to work yourself up to slightly better craft. In the movies all fighters on both sides get wrecked by just one hit more or less (unless you are the hero) so it's not that X-Wings were accurately depicted.... I don't know, I get why they did this. I won't knock it until I try it.
LMAO damn it Angry Joe! You fooled me with your facial expression in the beginning. Glad to see the game turned out well! 😁👏
Joe: "It has no lootboxes, no pay to win crap..."
EA: "Yet."
everyone, softly: "don't"
It's not coming, and niether is anything else to the game
Fallen Order hasn't been infested with them, and it's near on a year old now.
@@williamkeisler661 oh no loot boxes are coming, ask yourself why all the cosmetics have rarity ratings
Rogue Squadron needs a comeback! A show based on that would make me flip my sh*t.
Angry Joe: 10/10
Me: Impossible, perhaps the archives are incomplete.
Only if you have 1000 dollars worth of equipment :D
Soo you're telling me Angry Joe has had the same shirt and jacket for the past 10 years 😂
💀
I would if my bitch of an ex didn't just absorb my hoodies for all eternity
Ive had the same jacket for 7 years, everyone at some point finds that one iconic item of clothing the defines them.
I’d expect it’s more of a review outfit and he doesn’t wear the jacket around maybe the shirt
Good leather jackets last for life. Those kind of t-shirts, you can buy a few
AJ: " Its gonna take *HOURS* "
Me: Yeah but.. how many specifically??
FOUR HOURS
Acording to star wars explained 6 hours if you sit through all diaolouges
This comment is about it took hours to configure the button layout. It took him 10 hours to finish the game
@@johnniewaiker6203 he clearly said it took him more as he played on a harder difficulty, ergo he kept dieing..
It's 8-9 hours bro
When I got the game, I was literally on the lowest hype I could be, because of all the shit that happened before with the Star Wars License.
BUT DAMN!!!
This game is worth every single penny!!
No microtransactions, no lootboxes!!
Me: Give it a few weeks, a month tops and we'll see if it gets microtransactions.
They had to rip the lootbox system from the previous SW game, so i dont really suspect them coming.
I mean if they did, no surprise, but just my hunch
If anything Disney may be the buffer there, the incident of swbf2 was a literal international law changing event. Disney has enough bad PR for this brand.
@@tequilawhiskey They did it to Crash Bandicoot Racing. Why not Star Wars... AGAIN!?
@@white0thunderwhite0thunder71 because Disney owns the IP, and they dont want countries to change laws because of it.
@@tequilawhiskey Like I said... wait and see.

The scene with the Joe's running around the table is priceless.
Yeah the studio is worth it just for that
Yeah, I loved this scene! Simple joys :3
pew pew pew
That scene got me laughing 😂
"Hot-ass" pfft XD sorry I can't get over that call me immature.
I laughed hard at "the hot ass support is shaky"
It's a shame that Joe uses X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter as his base comparison when, naratively speaking and mission-design wise, both the original X-Wing and Tie Fighter games were vastly superior.

Beautiful
You should do what Jim Sterling does. Put in a lot of copyrighted materials so that they fight each other and nobody can fully claim it. You won't get money out of it but hey, neither will they.
It's kind of risky, but it might work in some occasions.
@@razorback9999able The point of doing it isn't to keep it from getting claimed (which it is) but to force a bunch of different companies to fight over who gets the ad revenue so Disney doesn't get to keep ALL of it for nothing.
@@businessrecreationjack8184 (angry turkish raider noises)
Laughed at the part when Angry Joe poked his head into other Joe's cockpit, lol. I bought this for my brother for Christmas & he's a bigger freak'n fan of Star Wars than I am.
COCKPIT! Jesus
@@Benjiman20 I SEE SENTENCE FRAGMENTS! You're missing a predicate to make either fragment a complete thought. Your stupidity is astounding!
I remember waking up at like 6am to play this as a kid, I would go down to my PC and plug in my old Top Gun Thrustmaster and would play X-Wing and Tie Fighter most of the morning. My Mom would come down at like 7:30 in the morning and wonder what I was doing awake so early. Amazing nostalgia trip playing this game. It's too bad people are having issues with HOTAS. that is so strange my Thurstmaster T.Flight Hotas X worked perfectly I didn't have to map any controls just had to figure out what button was what.
Maybe this was after a patch I heard they released?
Great games. I played them all but my fav was X-wing Alliance. That was something superior at that time.
I feel like this is going to be something I’ll really enjoy 20 years from now. By then VR will probably be much more ironed out and mainstream and I won’t have to drop $600 for all the equipment needed to play it with that fully immersive experience.
All u need is a quest 2 (300) and a good pc
@@MrBf3epicness i'm thinking to myself... 600 is in the middle...
Someone asked me “was there a AngryJoe review on Squadrons” today and somehow it came out today.
That was a perfect Star Wars worthy death scream.
This game is literally a copy of the old “x wing” series. And that’s why it’s fantastic and you gotta play it. I just wish they added more of the ship specific weapon systems instead of giving all ships the same secondaries added all the other starfighters from the series and added some of the ways you can mess up your reactor
Is it very short version of X-Wing but if you search on the net you can see that there's a group of people that have taken X-Wing and they're modernizing it with better graphics and it looks amazing this is like a hit-and-run
yes. 1000% agree. times are good
Robert yeah that’s good too. But XWA upgrade fails to fix the whole. Controls problem I enjoyed playing it. But squadrons is just a multiplayer focused version that has been better balanced for it. XWA UPGRADE will not be for most people unless they give it modern joystick settings
Mr. Al yeah that’s good too. But XWA upgrade fails to fix the whole. Controls problem I enjoyed playing it. But squadrons is just a multiplayer focused version that has been better balanced for it. XWA UPGRADE will not be for most people unless they give it modern joystick settings. And I mean. You insult it but on what flaw? For 40 bucks it’s a very entertaining game
@@robdfar Hmm - link?
When I got fleet battles I literally said to myself "now this is the meat and potatoes" and I'm so glad you said it too
Joe : *looks angry*
Me : oh Yeah
Joe : *Becomes happy*
Me : my disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined
Your originality is none existent, and your testicles are missing
I'm glad you're in such good spirits that your work can be claimed but you're still able to to smile and be exicted about it. Stay safe Joe
Tip: the Logitech extreme 3D pro goes for around 30 bucks and is more that sufficient for this game (Add a tiny amount of z axis deadzone) You will need to use your jeyboard and mouse to switch power balance. Give callouts and move shields (shields are on your mousewheel. Remap the look controls to the hat so you don’t have to use free look to look around But it’s a wonderful joystick.
This is the joystick I'm using at the moment, and after about an hour of trial-and-error I managed to map almost everything to the stick. Some are combos and a little hard to get used to at first (one button will change my shield focus depending on tap, double tap, or hold) but it works well enough. I kept my power balance on the hat stick and decided to mostly ignore freelooking, but that's really only an issue in Republic ships anyway. You can't really see anything but forward in any TIE except the Reaper.
That being said, I used to own HOTAS set (Saitek X45) like 10+ years ago that eventually broke on me, and I must admit it would be a superior setup. I'm hoping to purchase an X52 soon.
I have too say after expecting a shallow, loot box filled, bare minimum mess. I had a lot of fun with this game, even if you don't have the gear Joe has , it's just a much fun so I agree this is definitely worth a play
And would’ve been better if they could’ve incorporated the Move Joysticks
remember lair?
no ps4 game uses those =/.
Looks like I get to be that nerd this time:
Their flight jackets say "Pull to inflate" in (upside down) Aurebesh.
I would love to get this nerdy about SW’s. Any resources you’d like to share?
@@CarurossTheSecond218 So you can Google the Aurebesh alphabet, which will give you those characters. If you have the original Star Wars Monopoly, the game booklet has the alphabet on the back, so that's another very esoteric reference to it.
This game is super fun but the lack of content will be very harmful long term really hope they add free DLC
I think they said no extra content is coming...
@@giannispsillias7964 i know but I hope that they will see the support and add some
@@Spiky2306 welp you better start doing some demon rituals
Well at least they accepted the fact that it wasn't a 60$ game and only charged 40
Yeah my and my friends played it over the weekend after release. It was fun but yeah we are definitely done with it. It’s a shame really. Not a bad game by any means but definitely a game that deserves more attention.
