Been following Brad for years, and he’s the kindest and most enjoyable Let’s Player to watch. Never ever heard him say something overtly negative about a game.
It is unforgivably bad, but your comment kind of makes it sound like Brad doesn't has no idea what makes a game good or bad or how to distinguish a good game from a bad game which is completely not true
I've been watching Brad for over ten years now and I didn't think it was possible 😂💀 this is literally the worst review a game can get. It must be HOT GARBAGE!
First missions of the game. - talk to leopold - talk to chris - talk to abby - talk to james - talk to bob - talk to leopold again - go back to talk to chris again - talk to abby - talk - talk MyTona: Thanks for playing!
I met someone in Guild Wars back in the day. We chatted for a while and at the end, he gave me all his stuff. Too bad I myself quit the game a week later. 😂
42 minutes in, the absolute first thing he looted was a wrench which said it was for "tight situations" implying it was a melee weapon. As we know there was no melee in this game, so his very first looted item was quite literally a picture of a wrench.
I don't think people these days understand how big of a deal Brad refunding a game actually is. This guy is one of the triple OGs of gaming on youtube. Y'all don't understand HOW MANY GAMES this man has played and reviewed
@@chickensandwich3575 no they didnt? The game has overwhelmingly negative on steam with not even 20% positive. Even the so called positive reviews are mostly either paid shills or just people making jokes
@@chickensandwich3575 You don't understand. Brad is a(self proclaimed) bad critic because he just likes games. if he has fun then the game is a candidate for GOAT. even if it reviews poorly.
Because Brad tries his best to like any game he plays giving it a fair shot by actually playing it. So if he says it's bad, then it must pretty horrible. You're just an idiot 😂
It's because every YT these days uses bots to push his content, no human being actually says things like that, negative frustration is usually genuine, not one liner that mentions the creators name. Haven't played the game myself, but the starting area looks better than many 3A games, around, it will probably be bad, but it's also possible that people are just trolling, either way it's a game if people don't like it, don't play it simple as that, no need to spread hatred around.
@@justanaveragebalkan when a game is falsely advertised as something else, copies actual scenes from other games, and is used to make an unplayable and unenjoyable game, then yes, it's justified to hate a game, and people share it so others don't fall into that same trap of regret, it's not spreading hate, it's helping warn people to not waste their time and/or money

@@American_Kazuma i understand you but it also doesn't make sense to me bro. How would they get money if they release a bad product which would obviously be refunded

I didn't know it was even possible for someone to make something worse than a Game Mills game & I am sure they had more time because this game kept getting delayed by 6 months every time it was about to come out & it happened 3 - 4 times.
@@jmoriarty8000 probably? But I saw Brad replied to a comment here that he had to TH-cam how to get steam refunds. It's either he never really refund a game or he's never refunded a game through steam, lmao.
I like how Brad has went from looking at every game with a positive to now playing these terrible games and talking about how bad they are and it is extremely funny. Brad has finally reached his villain arc.
The last part is my favorite part what he just said you know what this game has broken my mind already So fellow player just have all my stuff I'm dropping it now, imagine this game on the PS4 PS5 Xbox series X/S Xbox One or even the Nintendo switch.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Yeah I agree.There are average games that he said good because he didn't want to disappoint the game developers.If he said the game is bad,that game will be worst game ever
All servers full. No zombies. No melee. Can't rebind controls. Broken glitches. Bugged audio. Deafening car/store alarms. Zombies need 4-5 headshots to kill. Can only enter select few buildings. Can't vault over walls/obstacles. Empty, dull, lifeless streets. Even the open streets feel linear. And that's just to name a few... 10/10 must buy.

These NPCs HAVE TO have been written and voiced by an AI. They are very unnaturally nice it was almost uncanny. And the voice acting seemed kinda soulless too. Good thing I've never heard about this game before it came out and only saw bad things about it afterwards, so I wanted to check it out 😂

Haven't been one to keep up with Brad's vids in a good few years, but this really was something I needed to see for myself. The fact this OG finally had to refund a game instead of just dropping it really speaks volumes especially when he clearly is giving it an honest effort to power through the jank shenanigans.
All the servers say full because they want you to think that an insane amount of players are overwhelming the servers instead of telling you it doesn’t work.
7 years of watching Brad never have I seen him refund a game that has to be the lowest form of rating a game can receive when Brad says it ain’t worth to even play it there isn’t a game I haven’t seen Brad play lmao love you Brad
Been following Brad for years now, probably in the range of 2016 when he first started the division, and I have never seen this guy truly dislike a game. Kind of a shock really. Thanks for being honest as always man! :)
@@tryagainnoob101same here! I was probably 10 when I first seen it but man time flies. Haven’t really seen many of his videos since but I definitely do pop back in here every few months for the past years.
The game has a really weak opening. Straight to character design menu instead of a cinematic story cutscene. It's the moment when I know it's just a badly made PUBG inspired game.
As a backend developer and a game developer here are my thoughts on it: Players connect to the server. They discover how horrible it is. They leave the server. But the server code, written by volunteers who never wrote server code, don't have logic to handle the broken connection and the servers slowly fill up. The two Chinese guys probably restart the servers every night to free up the connections. That is what you get when you have a game developed by volunteers.
I'm a Cybersecurity student and I haven't learned about any special logic needed to handle broken connection, such that not doing it would lead to servers filling up -- unless you mean the simple "connection close" code that's literally just one line? Or is it different in game servers versus regular C and Java?
Impressive they managed to hire so many voice actors so highly skilled in talking with a wooden monotone voice. Quite the hiring feat. The ones that didn't must have been a failure by someone in HR.
Brad is pretty terrible but that’s why it’s entertaining he didn’t notice the number on the screen of the keypad stayed showing for a few seconds if he pressed it in the correct sequence 😂
@@themechanicredthe ammo calamity was great. The effort of finding it in the menu and then the decision to buy 50 rounds. And then he SEES there’s armor and he’s like “idk why I died so fast” and then leaves without armor. I fkn love brads videos and I think those moments are really good 😂
You gotta see Beautiful Light. It's like this but fps and actually functional game. It's still in pre-alpha tho. Come out for PC first and then consoles in 2025-2026.
Grundel Pflug was working on one that was similar that was supposed to be released in 2023/2024. I think it got absorbed by another game/developer though. Grun Pflug posted on the gram about the direction the project was going but the stream got jacked by some of his opps.
Gollum has a special place in my heart, lol. Some streamers made their pain utterly hilarious, someone made a memey compilation, and the streamers reviewed the compilation. It was an EVENT that kept giving. Unfortunately, other bad games haven't been as funny.
It's like it's the bare bones of what it is trying to be n that's it, also love how every player is from the same place that is like all about helping people yet players kill each other
Even cyberpunk had majority negative reviews on time of release, no man's sky had same, if they stick to the game and improve it it can come back stronger then ever because on paper it has huge potential
@@krusselscout2997 This is Indie studio, if we want to stop them we should boycott AAA studios but we don't, boycotting this small studio will not do anything
@@krusselscout2997 lmfao dude the fact that this game was in development for 5 years and released in this state is sad. They deserve to have their studio shut down for putting a price tag on this game in the first place, its almost like none of their developers sat down and played the game.
The devs have banned anyone who says anything negative about the game on both Discord and Steam Page, they locked their Discord now and the bug reporting section on the Steam page. Also, those gunshots you hear are fake, someone pulled their LAN cord and the gunshots are still going off so its tricking you into thinking other players are nearby but they arent.
The "click click click" when you ran out of ammo told me everything I needed to know about this game. It was made by people who are great at making the map and graphics but they didn't have the money or experience to hire anybody to program the NPC or advise them on technical aspects like firearms or melee. It looks amazing but the physical elements of it are at least 1 to 2 years out.
i always watched theradbrad when i was 11 years old watching him play games i knew i couldn’t afford, you know its bad when this is the first game he ever refunded
Wow even Brad refunded this game lol. Glad you did and hope everything is well and I always enjoy your videos even if you play bad games like this and walking dead one lol. Love your content
Seeing you do honest reviews of games really is interesting especially as I have watched your stuff for awhile and seen you play alot of cool games I never would have even thought of buying
@@ninjutsuable Probably! But the red flags were there with the marketing and everything from day one 😂, even the studios dodgy track record to begin with. It's the one game I think people universally called out for basically two years whether it was journos or content creators and general gamers etc bare people warned about them and yet still 200k people dipped their toes in it at launch! This goes beyond lies and hype lol they just straight up tried to pawn off an asset flip as a fully developed game lmao, sh*ts is wild!
@@nanashi5139 Unfortunately. Coz the one good thing this time is people saw the red flags for two years and so media (mainstream coverage that is not content creators coz some creators still released some paid reviews but then backtracked them swiftly after everything blew up) had the appropriate coverage of it. But yeah somehow they still got 200k sales at launch for what was essentially an asset flip.
I bet Brad wishes he could go back to The Day Before he played this game I’m trying to do my usual workout routine but I can’t stop breaking out in laughter
Brad sounds like such a classic friendly white guy. Meanwhile, devs at the meeting: Smart guy: "Hey boss, isn't making a zombie game without melee like making a basketball game without dunks?" Dumb boss: "Yeah, it's gonna be so badass when they figure out their characters are war heroes who are so tough they skipped close-quarters class.."
It should’ve been released for early access for free so that the community could review it and send their feedback to the developers. That way we could gripe about the game without having lost anything but time and patience.
@@xaviermaster1if it’s super early access why even bring it out … you just ruining the reputation of the game .. bring it out when it’s like mid early access so like within next year April may it’s full developed or summer time uno?
@Naner10 exactly, and people wanted gta 6 to be released early just so they can complain about it being ass I am glad they are waiting until 2025 to release it.
I have been watching since highschool and Brad is always so positive and optimistic, really gives his all and tries his best to grasp the storyline of the games he plays, he makes games I would ordanilary not be interested in; fun. This game even had Brad stumped LOL there were points where I was like... why would you even do this to yourself as a game studio to release this LOL
lmao i love how the whole beginning story is all about like humanity and showing kindness and help, but then as soon as you go into town you just gotta kill everyone you see 😂 and your all coming out of the same town of love and happiness, the dialogue made it sound like it was gonna have like some co-op pve content 🤷♂️🤷♂️
I find it hard to believe that a game based on a zombie apocalypse is so empty! There is nobody for him to encounter, other player or zombie. No wonder why this didn't make it and why this developer shut down. Such a shame
Im glad you're doing goofy games, man. Commenting before watching, but it looks like you've been having fun. I've been hanging around since dead space 2, and it's been fun checking in and seeing what you've been up to

The fact this OG finally had to refund a game instead of just dropping it really speaks volumes especially when he clearly is giving it an honest effort to power through the jank shenanigans.
This game is a SCAM. The Studio just shut down.
Ya same haven’t watched since March, this video really caught my eye
I haven’t watched RadBrad since around Saints Row 3 I think? It’s been a very, very long time.
im happy that he got a refund when he has a chance
All the servers say full because they want you to think that an insane amount of players are overwhelming the servers instead of telling you it doesn’t work.
I’ve been watching Brad since 2013 and I have never heard him give a bad review… one for the history books!
It's so funny when Brad is critical
because it's rare and unexpected
"A sign telling me silent hill is this way, Yeah like I'm going to forget"
This man going from the walking dead to the day before, what a trooper.
That’s more suffering than any person deserves to go through.
7 years of watching Brad never have I seen him refund a game that has to be the lowest form of rating a game can receive when Brad says it ain’t worth to even play it there isn’t a game I haven’t seen Brad play lmao love you Brad
Been following Brad for years now, probably in the range of 2016 when he first started the division, and I have never seen this guy truly dislike a game. Kind of a shock really. Thanks for being honest as always man! :)
Your comment made me feel old lol. Been watching him since 2012 lmaoo
Just shows how bad this game was (past tense because the studio shut down and you can't buy it anymore).
@@tyates147 I think I still beat you eheh... Cant even remember if 2012 or 2011, but it was the Dead Space 2 walkthrough. Damn...
@@tryagainnoob101same here! I was probably 10 when I first seen it but man time flies. Haven’t really seen many of his videos since but I definitely do pop back in here every few months for the past years.
There is nothing I love more than the first 6 minutes of gameplay footage being the settings menu. Nothing gets me going like a good settings menu
You should stop playing games if that’s the case
The game has a really weak opening. Straight to character design menu instead of a cinematic story cutscene. It's the moment when I know it's just a badly made PUBG inspired game.
As a backend developer and a game developer here are my thoughts on it: Players connect to the server. They discover how horrible it is. They leave the server. But the server code, written by volunteers who never wrote server code, don't have logic to handle the broken connection and the servers slowly fill up. The two Chinese guys probably restart the servers every night to free up the connections. That is what you get when you have a game developed by volunteers.
I'm a Cybersecurity student and I haven't learned about any special logic needed to handle broken connection, such that not doing it would lead to servers filling up -- unless you mean the simple "connection close" code that's literally just one line? Or is it different in game servers versus regular C and Java?
Haha gotem @@wingy6060
Impressive they managed to hire so many voice actors so highly skilled in talking with a wooden monotone voice. Quite the hiring feat. The ones that didn't must have been a failure by someone in HR.
i have a feeling most, if not all of it, is ai generated
@@jigglypit really sounds like it
I'm pretty sure that's AI generated.
Its painful to watch Brad play this game, but thanks to him i get to see the gameplay and the issues that surround the game :)
Brad is pretty terrible but that’s why it’s entertaining he didn’t notice the number on the screen of the keypad stayed showing for a few seconds if he pressed it in the correct sequence 😂
@@themechanicredthe ammo calamity was great. The effort of finding it in the menu and then the decision to buy 50 rounds. And then he SEES there’s armor and he’s like “idk why I died so fast” and then leaves without armor. I fkn love brads videos and I think those moments are really good 😂
That running animation is too intense for such a slow speed. It's like he's miming sprinting but really is only jogging.
I love this new side of Brad. Seeing him do terrible game playthroughs is hilarious. I'm going to have to start doing this when I stream.
The exchange at the end was funny as hell. poor brad, i have never seen him not enjoy a game to this extents.
It's been years that i have been watching Brad! You are always in my heart big respect to you!!
Never thought I'd see the day were Brad would refund a game. We truly are in the end times
I hope someone makes a game like this soon. This had potential
I was hoping the division was like this. A zombies type game
You gotta see Beautiful Light. It's like this but fps and actually functional game. It's still in pre-alpha tho. Come out for PC first and then consoles in 2025-2026.
Just play last of us bro
Grundel Pflug was working on one that was similar that was supposed to be released in 2023/2024. I think it got absorbed by another game/developer though. Grun Pflug posted on the gram about the direction the project was going but the stream got jacked by some of his opps.
can be RockStar maybe? 🤔
“It’s can’t be that bad”
Famous last words 😂 lol
Bro had me cracking up lol, "shouldn't it be called the day after?" 😂😂😂
I love this new bread honest and clear with his opinions on terrible games
🍞
🥖
🥪
theRadBread
@@theRadBrad😂
I'm liking the video not because the game is good but because I'm glad Brad suffered through this on our behalf.
I've been watching you for years and I can't believe we've finally found "the" game. What a day. What a year! What with games like Gollum and Kong.
Gollum has a special place in my heart, lol. Some streamers made their pain utterly hilarious, someone made a memey compilation, and the streamers reviewed the compilation. It was an EVENT that kept giving. Unfortunately, other bad games haven't been as funny.
1:03 "Grab your snacks folks because this review is longer than my wait time" LMFAO
Damn for a game to be refunded by Brad it must be something crazy
For an unfinished game? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like how everyone’s bestfriends with the player, straight out the gate 😂
Right 😂 they all have Todo levels of friendship with the mc off the rip
You know it's a bad game when Brad, the eternal optimist, can't stomach it.
"The day before you got scammed" had me howling
It's like it's the bare bones of what it is trying to be n that's it, also love how every player is from the same place that is like all about helping people yet players kill each other
"It can't be that bad"
*He later found out it was in fact, THAT bad*
it was even worse lol
It’s safe to safe that theradbrad has finally reached a new villain arc of playing terrible games! I’m absolutely here for this! 🙌🏻
Even cyberpunk had majority negative reviews on time of release, no man's sky had same, if they stick to the game and improve it it can come back stronger then ever because on paper it has huge potential
@@krusselscout2997 This is Indie studio, if we want to stop them we should boycott AAA studios but we don't, boycotting this small studio will not do anything
@@krusselscout2997 then don’t buy it now and wait to see if it is actually worth buying in 2 years?
@@arcanewondersfann1567cyberpunk still isn't even actually good. It's not unplayable due to bugs anymore, but it's still incredibly shallow.
@@krusselscout2997 lmfao dude the fact that this game was in development for 5 years and released in this state is sad. They deserve to have their studio shut down for putting a price tag on this game in the first place, its almost like none of their developers sat down and played the game.
“This is a little rough around the edges.”
Brad is the master of the understatement 😂😂😂
loading screen left corner :''Scam is inevitable.Refund is optional'' 🤣🤣
The devs have banned anyone who says anything negative about the game on both Discord and Steam Page, they locked their Discord now and the bug reporting section on the Steam page. Also, those gunshots you hear are fake, someone pulled their LAN cord and the gunshots are still going off so its tricking you into thinking other players are nearby but they arent.
moistcritical found 2 players in the game😭😭😭
They did? How did you know?
@@chady51Holy shit, yeah you cant watch someone livestream them pulling their lancord
The "click click click" when you ran out of ammo told me everything I needed to know about this game. It was made by people who are great at making the map and graphics but they didn't have the money or experience to hire anybody to program the NPC or advise them on technical aspects like firearms or melee.
It looks amazing but the physical elements of it are at least 1 to 2 years out.
From other videos that I have watched even the entire map is an asset flip.
@@Taicligh yeah this was some kind of elaborate money laundering scheme
"no ammo and need to refund" will always be funny to me LMAO
I thought this was clickbait, but then again Brad ain't the type to need to do so, been following for years, this is actually news worthy for me
i always watched theradbrad when i was 11 years old watching him play games i knew i couldn’t afford, you know its bad when this is the first game he ever refunded
The zombies in this game felt like an after thought alongside character development.
Everything is an afterthought in this game. The main priority is getting money 😂
Wow even Brad refunded this game lol. Glad you did and hope everything is well and I always enjoy your videos even if you play bad games like this and walking dead one lol. Love your content
Almost 50 minutes in and this man has looted one wrench, a rag, and an empty can of soda…
i saw your tweet the other day about this game and genuinely couldn’t wait to see you play it 😂
Its really fun seeing Brad play bad games recently. I think he's been enjoying himself, and Im enjoying it
“It can’t be that bad”😂
To me…*bad* than I anticipated 💀
no, its worse lol
theradbrad really pulled a teacher's "In all my years of teaching..."
Imagine how bad a game gotta be for TheRadBrad to refund it 😭😭
Seeing you do honest reviews of games really is interesting especially as I have watched your stuff for awhile and seen you play alot of cool games I never would have even thought of buying
Thank you for experiencing this game so the rest of us don't have to. You're doing the lords work 😆
Hopefully gamers will learn not to hype things based on just trailers.
Great coverage as always Brad 👊🏿
Nah I’m sure if they didn’t lie everything would’ve been fine.
@@ninjutsuable Probably! But the red flags were there with the marketing and everything from day one 😂, even the studios dodgy track record to begin with. It's the one game I think people universally called out for basically two years whether it was journos or content creators and general gamers etc bare people warned about them and yet still 200k people dipped their toes in it at launch! This goes beyond lies and hype lol they just straight up tried to pawn off an asset flip as a fully developed game lmao, sh*ts is wild!
lol not happening. This has been going on for years and will never stop. Most gamers are fools
@@nanashi5139 Unfortunately. Coz the one good thing this time is people saw the red flags for two years and so media (mainstream coverage that is not content creators coz some creators still released some paid reviews but then backtracked them swiftly after everything blew up) had the appropriate coverage of it. But yeah somehow they still got 200k sales at launch for what was essentially an asset flip.
The npc dialog feels like it was written and spoken by AI
I bet Brad wishes he could go back to The Day Before he played this game
I’m trying to do my usual workout routine but I can’t stop breaking out in laughter
Shoutout to you Brad for literally taking one for the team. Sorry that you almost wasted a good amount of money on this game. You da MVP, man!
This game is such wasted pontential
Brad sounds like such a classic friendly white guy.
Meanwhile, devs at the meeting:
Smart guy: "Hey boss, isn't making a zombie game without melee like making a basketball game without dunks?"
Dumb boss: "Yeah, it's gonna be so badass when they figure out their characters are war heroes who are so tough they skipped close-quarters class.."
You know it’s bad when he didn’t even refund Gollum💀🙏
It should’ve been released for early access for free so that the community could review it and send their feedback to the developers. That way we could gripe about the game without having lost anything but time and patience.
Maybe this is super early release, over time bigger update make the game better
@@xaviermaster1I hope so....
@@xaviermaster1if it’s super early access why even bring it out … you just ruining the reputation of the game .. bring it out when it’s like mid early access so like within next year April may it’s full developed or summer time uno?
@@Dannyboyyyy24no, fully develop the game and then release it. Game companies most of the time always bring out half-assed or totally ass games
@Naner10 exactly, and people wanted gta 6 to be released early just so they can complain about it being ass I am glad they are waiting until 2025 to release it.
Soooooo I am assuming we're not getting a part 2 to this😂😂😂
I have been watching since highschool and Brad is always so positive and optimistic, really gives his all and tries his best to grasp the storyline of the games he plays, he makes games I would ordanilary not be interested in; fun. This game even had Brad stumped LOL there were points where I was like... why would you even do this to yourself as a game studio to release this LOL
Ive been watching Brad for 10 years dont think ive ever seen him refund a game.
Everybody running around going insane while Brad talking with that calm and composed voice he has is absolutely hilarious! 😂😂
Brad is finally being pragmatic with his game reviews lol
Straight up new Vegas beginning lmao
Been a fan for a few years, you're one of the best creators on TH-cam imo. Keep up the good work ❤
I’ve watched this guy on/off since like 2014 and never in my life did I expect him to refund a game
What’s insane is the part at the beginning with the doctor is literally I Am Legend
cant believe i just watched brad walk around for hour straight
lmao i love how the whole beginning story is all about like humanity and showing kindness and help, but then as soon as you go into town you just gotta kill everyone you see 😂 and your all coming out of the same town of love and happiness, the dialogue made it sound like it was gonna have like some co-op pve content 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Maybe a karma system like Tarkov would help? If you kill people, the store keeps aren’t as friendly and charge more
@@connor_hoxton_petrenko5745 yeah lol i guess looking back now they shoulda just made a better game 😂
I find it hard to believe that a game based on a zombie apocalypse is so empty! There is nobody for him to encounter, other player or zombie. No wonder why this didn't make it and why this developer shut down. Such a shame
The devs had no actual plan to make this a functioning game, it was a scam from the very beginning.
I mean the division looks like this just a bit more stuff and of course not a zombie game but would be interesting if it was
Im glad you're doing goofy games, man. Commenting before watching, but it looks like you've been having fun. I've been hanging around since dead space 2, and it's been fun checking in and seeing what you've been up to
The ending made me lol 😂 i love it
*I NEVER thought i'd here brad say he refunded a game.*
