Crazy that it's only 2021 when it came out. Feels like ages ago I last played it. It was a really good game underneath all that boring grind and lack of stuff to do - combat was good, sound was amazing and world was great. AGS have really given a masterclass in how to destroy a product with a huge potential.
Combat was clunky, PvE was easy and 1 and done, PvP was broken and full of meta abuse. the main quest was nothing but fetch quests. This game was horrible at launch, I am so glad they have turn around and started taking feedback from players and have considered new players more. I am excited for AGS and NW's future.
Gotta look past the bugs, dupes, lack of content etc… the launch experience was a lifetime experience. Everyone leveling and learning it all together was magical.
@kyleswrath exactly. Jay has a clip where he literally covers his eyes and shoots a BB at a player that's running circles around him and he hits every shot. Same goes for melee. If it was aim assist for ranged weapons then fine, but this target lock is basically aimbot
You're right, the gameplay is aiming to casual players that use controller. I played the beta on Xbox SX, it felt natural,but in pc is a different story
@@isaidj11it feels the same as it did in 2021 and it's moronic to claim that their master plan was to flounder on PC for 3 years only for the console version to come in and save the day.

My main issue with the game is it feels very boring with no classes.. also dont like being forced to use a weapon I may not like simply because it has a skill or 2 that I do like... didnt find it enjoyable at all
props to new world to actually fix character creation and giving more hairstyles, this is something we asked for, For years. However, WE NEED NEW PVP CONTENT, NEW PVP MODES, AND BATTLE GROUNDS. ITS WHY MOST OF US LEFT LACK OF CONTENT AND REWARDS
Been a while since I seen one of your videos, Wont lie. You look well rested sir. Happy to see you are doing well. Having fun with War within Warcraft now.
I will give a try to it. Personally, I do mostly pvp and not too much pve. I have done OPR for 3 horrible years, and I hope improvements with the matchmaking and also in the rewards. I'm not a fan of the island where you can only go solo. I would have preferred open pvp events in different areas on the map. The aim assist i think is a bad thing, but we will see it in OPR and arenas in the practice, but if it kills the fun of the combat system and the personal skills then for me that would be a no go and the end for me with NW.
Not sure why they felt the need for target lock for console players. I've been playing on PC with a PS5 controller for the last 2 years without target lock and it was fine.
you're a special case because I believe you're mainly a PC player. These console players will not have your dexterity because they're so used to having target lock.
@@ryuno2097 Nah, I came over to PC about 3 years ago from PS consoles which is why I like playing on controller because my keyboard skills are garbage 😔 @Johnnyboy8089 lol these kids have no problems with the hand eye coordination.
I see this more as bringing a great game to a wider audience and a revival of the old with a bit of twist. I haven't put as many hours in as you, but I've been around off & on since launch, enjoyed every minute of it (besides progress stopping bugs; which were usually addressed expediently). Overall I like the way they've run this game and I can't wait for console to just chill and game at the end of my long days.
Target lock in PvP is a horrible thing. I've been using a steam imput controller since 2021 and I've had no issues in hitting shots or melee. Controller does need a massive sensitivity increase because at 100 is still too slow, but Target lock is literally aimbot. PvP island is going to be a nightmare now because those hardcore PvPers camping the chests just won't miss So many upgrades only to be tarnished by such a stupid choice.
True. It’s mind-blowing how they waste energy and resources on that crap. Literally no one on the planet cares at this point, it’s mind-blowing to me. Biggest fumble in modern gaming…. Besides Concord bawhahaha 😂
@@LilskeevsGaming you can cry about endgame all you want if a new player quit before 60 he don't even care a single bit about how the endgame is if he didn't had fun for the first few hours.
@@sliimcracker if you care about the leveling experience then i got bad news it does not get better then the firat 30 levels. When you get to around 40 and the slog begins you will understand.
Played the Beta over the weekend. It was fantastic and so much fun. I am happy to run through the campaign again. I am one of the few that doesn’t enjoy end game grind no matter how much content they throw at you. Cough Diablo
i don't think its a cash grab for console as much as i am upset. As a vet player with the lack of content and us waiting a year for a major announcement just for the said announcement to be that they are pretty much abandoning the PC players. I would be lying to myself and everyone else to say that the console players won't be getting a great game, they most definitely will have hundreds of hrs of content to look forward to, that being said knowing how AGS only ads content YEARLY console players will be right where we are within a few months, just miserably waiting for a "big update". So I hope the next big update brings much-needed endgame content overall.
I know people who use the Steam Input with controller and they make 8 kills witout lock,because if you're good you are good lock will make people rely more on lock than skills and thats not acceptable.
Wow, so glad I waited for this incredible console release! Same game, same issues, but now I get to experience the disappointment on a different platform. Truly groundbreaking!
Hey Jay great video. Today I spoke to several console players and they agreed that the aimlock is too much. One even said he would want them to completely remove aimlock or even aim assist. I think aim assist will be a lot better for the game. Just to help console players get closer to an enemy, and then they need to micro adjust with their joystick to actually aim, so skill will still be required. The fact some console players agreed with me, gives me some hope.
Well for a console player like myself that just needs a game to break away to when I get bored with COD and NBA2K..I’m very excited for this, I liked it for PC but really enjoy for console 💯
I just am hoping that they've done some big work on the endgame. I've never had an issue with the 1 to 60 experience, even if it was kind of slow on launch. It's an MMO you know people who love MMOs come into them expecting to have to grind. That was never a problem. I do very much like how they've changed it though and I think it's great. Sure, it's after you get to level 60, will they have changed enough to make it a fun game to continue playing in the long run? That's what I'm hoping to see
when i first heard about this and the changes i though ok lets give it a second try, then i knew about the aimbot..... if they dont take it back i dont want to be executed by musketers platon ^^ not second try!!!
Only thing we have on console is basically ESO with its glitchy clunky combat system and the combat here is soo much better. I played the beta and as an xbox player im happy its coming.
man this a blast from the past. I stopped playing new world about a year after it came out as the grind was way too much and it was populated by sweats.
725 Gear, New Raid, New PvP Zone... its not nothing but its less than it needed to be for veterans personaly i will do freshstart because i loved the beta once again and im pretty sure when i hit the endgame wall they will NOW come truly with new stuff maybe the best way would have been to release it now as a 1.0 say sorry to the players and whipe it all but thats just me :D

@ethanholt2455 im buying the game. i know you're interested or you wouldn't be in these comments.. most games have issues these days just got to find the issues you can tolerate, it's not 2014 any more unfortunately and we just got to deal
@@BulletProofCat it was a negative comment for sure. But genuinely can't put any good faith for the game to others. I just don't want to see console players get treated the way pc did. The game itself will always have a soft spot in my heart. The dev team? Despise
@@MrProbstandrew yea but they dont know the opr glitches or have the experience in openworld to figure out what happening before they are dead in most cases
I hope they add a setting in the Game Play section that is "Cut Scenes Disabled" (On / Off). They need to ditch the built in Aim Bot as well as new Stamina system.
Third rework of leveling stage but seems like they don't understand that what is keeping people in the game is the endgame which in this game is close to non
They're going to have PC only servers for this reason I think. I don't mind the locking especially since the game already has an aim botting problem they don't seem to know how to fix.
@drakescakes5629 I also play ESO but the combat won this for me with how smooth it runs vs ESO having their clunky combat system they never try to fix especially with duel wield.
I feel like they know the lock on is dumb but they do not have a better option that will not make the game unplayable for console users at this time. My hope is by the time we start hitting endgame (on fresh) they will have come up with a better solution.
As a pc player that uses m&k as well as controller im not sure why people are mad at the lock mechanic for controller. I’ve played many combat games with that feature and honestly it’s made the playing field pretty even just gotta get your dodge timing down
Well said, I have over 2000 hours on PC (M&K)..and while playing PS5 I had several melee attacks that went right through enemies that looked dead on target. The lock on fixed the issue. This will make PC and Console very competitive in PVP
while the leveling might be improved, thats a small portion of time spent in game. Once everyone is capped, they will at realize there still is nothing to do. I loved this game at launch but its just so sad.
im quite excited about the release but i will not Start fresh again , getting my trade skills to 200+ is a monumental task im not inclined to do again :) But For players that never reached that level with their toons , its gonna be hella fun.
Lockon is literal aimbot in pvp on close to mid range. The only thing I like about this game will be completly trash now. And this was the big difference in New World, too. Lock on is just tab target, there are one million tab target mmos out there... Fcking AGS, still managing to disappoint when you didn't even expect anything.
I don't wanne play a fantasy game where I'm locked in at the height and physical size of Jeff Bezos because they didn't know how to make a character creator but I wish it well.
I play on PC and do not have the expansion. I played the beta and enjoyed it, but I won't buy anything more until I get to high enough level on a new character to decide if I want to continue. I tried lock on in PvE and turned it off, as I found it annoying. I can hit stuff just fine. As others have mentioned, I'd pick the class you want based on the trade perks. The beginning gear is nice but getting a boost to mining or engineering or whatever seems more impactful to start.
i really don't think the lock on is going to be that bad of an issue. As it was showing to miss 100% of the time if the target was moving. You would have to run in a straight line which in that case you're asking to get shot. Everyone needs to chill out about it.
Conspiracy Theory: AGS turned on max auto lock aim bot feature to further entice console players into playing the game; however they were already planning on turning OFF the auto lock when they launch the game live. Typical bait and switch.
@@propersod2390PC kiddies have this weird perception of aim assist where they think new worlds auto aim is similar to what we would see in cod or halo or battlefield. When reality is it's normally super subtle.
Kind of wanted to jump in again and take a look but hearing about the lock on I'm not so sure anymore 😅 Is seems like every mele will turn this on and never turn it off ever again...
With a Re-release + fixed all those issues + complete fresh start with Jobbing (Gathering) resets each Season, so you cant lvl everything to max and be efficient. If this would happen, i would give it another try. But i dont think this would ever happen because it feels like, this Team doesnt know what rly matters.
@@everlonggaming1966lmao they haven't released a new cash shop skin in ages and they are only adding black and white dye now after multiple years of people asking for it you don't know what you're talking about
@@propersod2390 skins, i didnt say skins. They added mounts, boosts, character armor slots, not to mention the things added to the paid battle pass. Like I said they kept the cashshop stocked. So learn to read before you try to correct me son.
I haven’t seen anything about a roadmap? 10:10 Did I completely miss them confirming something? For the returning pc players that’s a start at retention at least!
Just make servers where target lock on is allowed and servers where it isnt allowed so we get to choose because theres not way im playing a server with lock on
Oh no Light Armor now feels like you´re wearing light armor and you can wiggle out of all melee attacks? Kinda sucks to suck I think :D I like the lock on for pvp because when I was playing no one was running heavy armor because you could wiggle out of every attack which really was frustrating.
I started to download the beta cause the game looks interesting I've never heard of it before and it looks similar to fable and Skyrim which an mmo is what I'm craving right now. How's the beta ?
LOL There is absolutely nothing Amazon games could do to make me want to come play again.. They blew it they have no chance at all its still a half built game.. The game was supposed to be a pvp complete game Originally. Then changed to a hybrid of pve/pvp areas.. But none of the Game systems have ever been built to work as a full fleshed out pve game.. Sorry half ass game is not worth the frustration. Good luck!
The pvp Island won't work. I went there and killed players who got angry at me, which I get. It's going to be griefing zone and it will die. PvP needs to be structured, like opr/arenas, with progression objectives. Crazy AGS don't understand player behaviour
@DblTapSlapMcGap yeah, u get one shot by npc's, but you can ride the whole map and avoid and open a few chests. It's got a lot of terrain so pretty easy to avoid fights if you want and get out. Just play a run build Iike GS/H, GA/H or musket and it'll be easy
AGS hired the devs from Blessed Online, thats why they keep re-releasing the same stuff with just a bit more or less stuff. Its a scam of a game but this time from a top tier company.
So playing like you are having a seizure jumping all around will no longer cause players to miss you...revolutionary!! I prefer target lock, and play PC with KB/M
I'm planning on keeping an eye on how it does and what's in the roadmap. The aim assist has put me of giving it a try, the combat was the best part about the game.
Yall bitter as hell (the vets). Console players like myself have been dying for an MMO other than ESO and FF14. On that note I do think they are headed into more improvements after the console launch. It's also wild to see the PC gamers talk so much trash about the game but they have literally 1000+ hours played. Console players are going to have a blast come October and I think the devs will run with that and focus their energies towards more updates and DLC afterwards. Obviously someone on the backend knows whats up bc these are genuine quality improvements from when they originally launched. I have hope for the future of the game. Looks pretty good to me for a 4 year old MMO
Yikes. Console players opinions don’t really count. Everyone knows console gamers are an unusual bunch. How can you call yourself a gamer but play on console? There has only been one game that has come out in the past 10 years that was console only that made me get a console because I wanted to play that game so bad. that game was Destiny. And it’s truely been the only game worth it on console.
Aeternum is dead, long live Lord of the Ring! Seriously, I think mid-2025 NW is going to AGS Romania studio in maintenance mode. There gonna be bug fixes, probably some balance updates and perhaps some new cosmetics, but I'm pretty sure AGS doesn't have any intention to add new content post Aeternum update. I expect them to "sell" the seasonal events we had the past 3 years as new content for the new audience, and that's it. Also I'm thinking that LotR will be from start a solo/co-op ARPG rather than a MMORPG. Cheaper to develop and less room for failure.
As frustrating as it is to have a game of this genre play as good as it does yet lack end game depth, in terms of value I cannot whine at the amount paid vs hours spent.
In no way that makes sense... eather for PC or Console, Pve is fine but lock on for PvP is just crazy and with that crazy machanics will come the ppl will abuse... sorry but with lock on Nw is now complety dead for me....
I don't think it is a cash crab at all. Anyone who believes that is ridiculous. This game is a so good for the price. Sure endgame is lacking but for new players this game is great

@@MrProbstandrew yea but they dont know the opr glitches or have the experience in openworld to figure out what happening before they are dead in most cases
People act like lock on kills the pvp, must have not played souls like games pvp
I hope they add a setting in the Game Play section that is "Cut Scenes Disabled" (On / Off).
They need to ditch the built in Aim Bot as well as new Stamina system.
Learning I still need to buy the expansion after new world relaunches is disappointing. Not putting any more money into this game.
Third rework of leveling stage but seems like they don't understand that what is keeping people in the game is the endgame which in this game is close to non
They're going to have PC only servers for this reason I think. I don't mind the locking especially since the game already has an aim botting problem they don't seem to know how to fix.
Way better then elder scrolls in my opinion
How so? Actually curious because I like Elder Scrolls but am thinking about playing this.
@drakescakes5629 I also play ESO but the combat won this for me with how smooth it runs vs ESO having their clunky combat system they never try to fix especially with duel wield.
@@drakescakes5629 the combat is so fun
don't come back to the game man, this game is a let down from day 1, move your content to a better well maintained game, that is my opinion
I left before the inventory changes update (multiple sets etc) and battlepass. Did I miss out on anything, or is it not worth returning?
not now that there is lock on. ruined the entire game.
There is no endgame, why would anything be timegated
I feel like they know the lock on is dumb but they do not have a better option that will not make the game unplayable for console users at this time. My hope is by the time we start hitting endgame (on fresh) they will have come up with a better solution.
The one thing left this game had going for it has officially been ruined
As a pc player that uses m&k as well as controller im not sure why people are mad at the lock mechanic for controller. I’ve played many combat games with that feature and honestly it’s made the playing field pretty even just gotta get your dodge timing down
Well said, I have over 2000 hours on PC (M&K)..and while playing PS5 I had several melee attacks that went right through enemies that looked dead on target. The lock on fixed the issue. This will make PC and Console very competitive in PVP
@@theforce2511 yeah the lock on feature takes away aim advantage makes you have to outthink and out maneuver
while the leveling might be improved, thats a small portion of time spent in game. Once everyone is capped, they will at realize there still is nothing to do. I loved this game at launch but its just so sad.
What do you do in this game? Like an open world survival type deal??
im quite excited about the release but i will not Start fresh again , getting my trade skills to 200+ is a monumental task im not inclined to do again :) But For players that never reached that level with their toons , its gonna be hella fun.
Respect for being able to cover this. I'm personally unable to log in again. It makes me literally shake, lol.
I hear you brother, I hear you
Skill Issue.
Lockon is literal aimbot in pvp on close to mid range. The only thing I like about this game will be completly trash now. And this was the big difference in New World, too. Lock on is just tab target, there are one million tab target mmos out there... Fcking AGS, still managing to disappoint when you didn't even expect anything.
nice to see tricktrick doesnt look like a clown anymore
You deserve more subs, fully agree with all you said. Thx
Lets go jay
Im a console ps5 player. Aim lock must go. No need for it. Aim asset on the other hand would be fine but not full on aim lock.
I don't wanne play a fantasy game where I'm locked in at the height and physical size of Jeff Bezos because they didn't know how to make a character creator but I wish it well.
I was so disappointed with the PC release, but this Xbox release might actually bring me back.
Will there be an end game now? :D
I play on PC and do not have the expansion. I played the beta and enjoyed it, but I won't buy anything more until I get to high enough level on a new character to decide if I want to continue.
I tried lock on in PvE and turned it off, as I found it annoying. I can hit stuff just fine.
As others have mentioned, I'd pick the class you want based on the trade perks. The beginning gear is nice but getting a boost to mining or engineering or whatever seems more impactful to start.
Do we keep our current progression or do we ALL start fresh ?
You keep it, but you can't transfer onto the new servers where new people will be playing
please let things turn out for the best. I wish to return to the days of non stop world pvp
i really don't think the lock on is going to be that bad of an issue. As it was showing to miss 100% of the time if the target was moving. You would have to run in a straight line which in that case you're asking to get shot. Everyone needs to chill out about it.
Conspiracy Theory: AGS turned on max auto lock aim bot feature to further entice console players into playing the game; however they were already planning on turning OFF the auto lock when they launch the game live. Typical bait and switch.
How does that entice console players lmfao you know there's millions of people playing competitive shooters on controller with no issues?
@@propersod2390PC kiddies have this weird perception of aim assist where they think new worlds auto aim is similar to what we would see in cod or halo or battlefield.
When reality is it's normally super subtle.
Kind of wanted to jump in again and take a look but hearing about the lock on I'm not so sure anymore 😅 Is seems like every mele will turn this on and never turn it off ever again...
They added the aimbot that pvpers paid a monthly fee for earlier, Source: dev QandA.
With a Re-release + fixed all those issues + complete fresh start with Jobbing (Gathering) resets each Season, so you cant lvl everything to max and be efficient. If this would happen, i would give it another try. But i dont think this would ever happen because it feels like, this Team doesnt know what rly matters.
@@Matzebase i think they have proved they dont know what matters... we cept for money cause they have kept that cash shop stocked!
@@everlonggaming1966lmao they haven't released a new cash shop skin in ages and they are only adding black and white dye now after multiple years of people asking for it you don't know what you're talking about
@@propersod2390 skins, i didnt say skins. They added mounts, boosts, character armor slots, not to mention the things added to the paid battle pass. Like I said they kept the cashshop stocked. So learn to read before you try to correct me son.
@@everlonggaming1966 LOL they haven't had a new season pass in 6 months so how is it stocked? 🤣🤣
@@propersod2390 and they have not had content in almost 12 do the math...
Same game same problems
An wait for the relaunch. Preordered on PS5
I haven’t seen anything about a roadmap? 10:10 Did I completely miss them confirming something? For the returning pc players that’s a start at retention at least!
Just make servers where target lock on is allowed and servers where it isnt allowed so we get to choose because theres not way im playing a server with lock on
Oh no Light Armor now feels like you´re wearing light armor and you can wiggle out of all melee attacks? Kinda sucks to suck I think :D
I like the lock on for pvp because when I was playing no one was running heavy armor because you could wiggle out of every attack which really was frustrating.
I'll be coming back on the 15th. Give me something to do while waiting on Ashes Of Creation alpha 2 phase 3.
I started to download the beta cause the game looks interesting I've never heard of it before and it looks similar to fable and Skyrim which an mmo is what I'm craving right now. How's the beta ?
beta is over
I'm pretty sure they said that it was a bug and it's supposed to be pve only
I think if they removed the lock on from PVP everyone would be happy with it
Do you recommend deluxe or regular version? New player here!
LOL There is absolutely nothing Amazon games could do to make me want to come play again.. They blew it they have no chance at all its still a half built game.. The game was supposed to be a pvp complete game Originally. Then changed to a hybrid of pve/pvp areas.. But none of the Game systems have ever been built to work as a full fleshed out pve game.. Sorry half ass game is not worth the frustration. Good luck!
The pvp Island won't work. I went there and killed players who got angry at me, which I get. It's going to be griefing zone and it will die. PvP needs to be structured, like opr/arenas, with progression objectives. Crazy AGS don't understand player behaviour
You went there at leve.30?
@DblTapSlapMcGap yeah, u get one shot by npc's, but you can ride the whole map and avoid and open a few chests. It's got a lot of terrain so pretty easy to avoid fights if you want and get out. Just play a run build Iike GS/H, GA/H or musket and it'll be easy
This comment makes zero sense, you do know that PvP island is there for certain materials for crafting and only PvP island has them?
@matthopkins1107 get your gear in 2 weeks then no reason to go back,it's going to be dead
Controller needs aim assist not aim lock, big difference. Also worst thing is its available on kbm which eliminates the whole purpose.
AGS hired the devs from Blessed Online, thats why they keep re-releasing the same stuff with just a bit more or less stuff. Its a scam of a game but this time from a top tier company.
So playing like you are having a seizure jumping all around will no longer cause players to miss you...revolutionary!!
I prefer target lock, and play PC with KB/M
I CARE about lock on in PVE, we need the aiming skill to be satisfying; just get rid of that amazon please
I have 4,200 hrs in new world. Playing since beta. This is not a new game. It’s a rework. The base game play is the same. I love the game always have.
I'm planning on keeping an eye on how it does and what's in the roadmap. The aim assist has put me of giving it a try, the combat was the best part about the game.
The fact you can lock onto another player like you got aim bot is fcking stupid.
Time gating content is okay. But if this causes people to log on only once a week to get their mats. That's a problem.
it's the same game just with controller support
Yall bitter as hell (the vets). Console players like myself have been dying for an MMO other than ESO and FF14. On that note I do think they are headed into more improvements after the console launch. It's also wild to see the PC gamers talk so much trash about the game but they have literally 1000+ hours played. Console players are going to have a blast come October and I think the devs will run with that and focus their energies towards more updates and DLC afterwards. Obviously someone on the backend knows whats up bc these are genuine quality improvements from when they originally launched. I have hope for the future of the game. Looks pretty good to me for a 4 year old MMO
Yikes. Console players opinions don’t really count. Everyone knows console gamers are an unusual bunch. How can you call yourself a gamer but play on console? There has only been one game that has come out in the past 10 years that was console only that made me get a console because I wanted to play that game so bad. that game was Destiny. And it’s truely been the only game worth it on console.
Aeternum is dead, long live Lord of the Ring! Seriously, I think mid-2025 NW is going to AGS Romania studio in maintenance mode. There gonna be bug fixes, probably some balance updates and perhaps some new cosmetics, but I'm pretty sure AGS doesn't have any intention to add new content post Aeternum update. I expect them to "sell" the seasonal events we had the past 3 years as new content for the new audience, and that's it. Also I'm thinking that LotR will be from start a solo/co-op ARPG rather than a MMORPG. Cheaper to develop and less room for failure.
As frustrating as it is to have a game of this genre play as good as it does yet lack end game depth, in terms of value I cannot whine at the amount paid vs hours spent.
This is so depressing to me. I absolutely loved this game.
Can confirm. Speed ran it in 3 hrs and 15 mins. 😅
In no way that makes sense... eather for PC or Console, Pve is fine but lock on for PvP is just crazy and with that crazy machanics will come the ppl will abuse... sorry but with lock on Nw is now complety dead for me....
Don't care how good it is, they can jam it.
valheim coming to console was definitely good for the game
I don't think it is a cash crab at all. Anyone who believes that is ridiculous. This game is a so good for the price.
Sure endgame is lacking but for new players this game is great
There was really no actual skill tree at all made the combat seem very bland
