Beware, while the game IS fun, great crafting, fun gameplay but causes many freezes and crashes on many PCs. It’s a gamble to purchase it. Game beeds to be optimized.
I am going to create a character called Benny Bezos and form a brigade called the “Bezos Brigade” TOO be part of this brigade you have to let money corrupt your soul and view the rest of humanity as mere ants!!!
@@LuisSoto-fw3if Eh, the game itself kinda endorses being edgy. There are some gray factions but the big ones are pretty white and black, be a white knight who protects all or be a Dark Souls invader and toy with everyone you see. But yeah, edgy man is edgy regardless.
You nailed this before you buy to a T. I've been playing on and off since launch and your impressions are spot on. Even to the point where I think the World itself is what keeps me playing, atm. It certainly isn't the questing, but pvp is pretty fun to break it all up.
Being an old-school runescape player, this game really brings back a nostalgic feeling of it. It's not quite the same but definitely a breath of fresh air for MMO's. I didn't expect yo like it until I played it. Doing anything and everything in the game itself feels immersive. I already have 50+ hours into it and so far loving it. Playing solo and with friends are a blast. Having an open world pvp option is also so much fun.. I can't put my finger on it, but the game for me has a different feel that no other MMO's have done before. It does have some bugs that need fixing but I have hopes for this games growth, it has so much potential to be great. All I have to say in my opinion its worth the $40 I spent on it. Give it a try!!
What’s fresh about it? The lack of a central story? The copy/paste cities? The generic gameplay? There’s no soul to this game. And owning territory doesn’t really matter aside from a few perks. Just colors on a map.
@@happyaccident8001 Absolutely nothing fresh about the game. Nothing remotely special. And yet it doesnt feel generic. For most of the time i feel like im playing a premium game. I tried Final Fantasy but the way the game looks makes me feel like im playing a $20 game made by a new game studio. WOW and all these other games feel cheap. The really good UI, awesome crafting, visuals, and combat is what i feel it does really well. The perks of the territory stuff become very apparent as you play the game more. The player economy is very entertaining to play around with. Also I am the central story, thats enough for me.
I see the Runescape resemblance, and I like it. I never got too deep into Runescape, but the levelling system that game has is basically New World, and no other game has done it quite like Runescape.
I tryed to log in on runescape while reading this 🥲 It has been more then 7 years ago I was a level 67 with 1 million on the bank. The accaunt is gone 😪
I’ve put about 20 hours in so far and I’m not overly impressed. The one thing I will say though is that New World has the potential to be great, if it takes the right direction going forth
@@nichenetwork9817 I’ve always found that MMO’s are subscription based for a reason. Until it turns out the fan base isn’t there and it goes free to play. But if you have no previous MMO’s to compare to, you might find it a blast! For me at least, World of Warcraft is the absolute pinnacle of what an MMO is and should be. Therefore every MMO I play immediately gets compared to it. And none do compare to it; bar that odd exception that comes close (also subscription based). But I hope you have a good time playing it, it’s good for what it is and will only get better!
my Fav thing about this game so far has to be the teritory control. The fact that I am apart of a group of people who own the town and have to protect it through war and open world pvp just seems very interesting to me
@@massimo4282 Also Foxhole is the first and only Early Access game i ever got and i must say it was worth it. The game is in all reality done, it has everything (and the devs will add more). As i gather the devs are waiting for a right time to get the game to version 1.0. Which should be by the end of the year. If you got any questions, ask, and i'll try and answer.
agree with everything you said the respec option is great for trying out different abilities and moving stats around to better benefit a different fighting style and its really affordable to respec with no cooldown times, you can respec as much as you want for a small fee of ingame gold. the world is a bit empty atm and soloing can get boring but with all the different skills to level up you can get easily distracted going from one point to another on the map and sink hours into it. they do need more quests choices and customization it can get pretty monotonous especially when i revisit the same area for the 5th time doing a reskin of the same quest for different items. id give it a few months to ripen before you buy the game
One good thing about the game is that you're really WORKING for your levels. It's not something to where you're power-leveling 2-4x every hour. The traveling sucks ass but so far I'm only 8 hours deep and level 16 but I'm enjoying it. Another annoying thing are trolls. You can't server swap your character to avoid people in areas so you have to literally deal with someone who's fucking up your quest by killing the mobs/boss/looting or skinning what you need. Edit: I'm lvl 32 and it's getting a bit repetitive, but once you have the items for expeditions and the Azoth staff, you can do corrupted portals and finally move up to Brightwood and see other areas of the map than just ever fall and what's below. Edit again: level 41 and another nuisance is having certain storyline quests requore partying to complete them. Other than that, still good.
119 hours in and I definitely enjoy the game. But i agree with what you said about the quests needing more lol they definitely get more tough around level 25 but the quests in general are very repetitive. Beautiful mmo though, interesting enemies and definitely a blast to play in a group.
Warning: If your buying this for the PVP, don't bother because it's super broken. They just fixed an invincibility exploit....one of many used to win war and take territories from other factions. There's also a lag bug the attacking party regularly uses....Exploits are so openly used in taking hard earned territories that it's not uncommon to see one color controlling an entire map by simply using hacks/exploits to rob you of a fair fight for your territory... If you care about PVP at all don't buy this game because it has serious game breaking exploits that are regularly used in pvp and will be seen all over streams.
you are talking about war.. and yeah a little broken with a exploit they should fix. I have not seen this exploit yet but im sure people are using it.. this is your opinion so weird to say if you care about pvp don't buy this game LOL
@@bobbythorton7693 I have personally seen it, and not just one or two guys...no...if it were just that then I wouldn't be complaining. This isn't an opinion, this is a fact and all you have to do is go watch streamed wars too see it for yourself. Not every company in a faction is doing it. In fact it's normally just one were they deliberately tell their players to do these things. The fact is that the Developers have openly admitted to people using invincibility to win wars, while at the same time not offering any plans on doing anything about the territories they won by using these exploits.
I bought this game after watching a friend play it for a couple hours and heard him tell me how much he loves it. I can honestly say that I do not regret buying it one bit. I have only put in about 8 hours but I have loved every moment that I have spent in the world. I love that your not forced to focus on one thing. I agree that the story and questing is a bit boring. The beauty and the amount of other things you can do is what keeps me coming back. I am not a pvp person so I doubt I will be participating in any of that stuff. Still worth the money!!
Grinded 140 hours already in this game and all I can say is it rekindled my love for MMORPG again. A few bugs here and there but that can be fixed. Hope they would add dedicated servers to certain regions though as the ping is crucial in PVPs and Wars.
@@pizzakungen92 dedicated pvp servers. Right now it's a mix of pvp and pve players. PvP servers would generally run lower latency, or be dedicated. But I'm pretty sure he's just talking about dedicated pvp servers. New world does not run on p2p lol, that would mean extreme lag 100x worse than what we've got now, don't worry haha.
while you do get used to enemy types as you level up enemies start using different scarier attacks to throw you off a bit but ye deffo more fun with friends especially the expeditions aka dungeons.
I have 72 hours in the game so far. It's a fun experience. I love leveling. But pvp really don't come until you are higher level. Like in the 40s. Which will take time. You get clapped otherwise. It does need some kind of mount system. But it's a fun game. I am part of a company and it's great to be part of tbis community.
Unfortunately I don’t think they will ever add mounts at least not for a long time. If they just threw mounts into the game as it is then it would totally break the fast travel/gathering/leveling economy of the game. World traversal is a huge part of that and all the time u take to travel around is factored into the overall game balancing. Not saying they can’t add mounts or they shouldn’t (personally I wish we had em) but I’m not holding my breath.
Can't have mounts yet because it will cut the game time to completion by a good 50% maybe more. The game is empty and boring. It needed open world PvP to carry it, without it, its a walking simulator. I honestly understand them stripping out the full loot aspects but allowing PvP to be toggled off without having more fleshed out PvE content and interesting quests was a big mistake.
@@Alias_Reign it’s fine honestly this game has honestly amazing crafting and gathering so I still have a lot of fun, their also planning a massive expansion to the map and quests based on a data mine.
@Hill the mmos I've played are guild wars, guild wars 2, ESO, BDO, runescape, and star wars old republic. Eso gets boring after a little bit and BDO is just fucking bad ngl
@Hill Yeah new world is either a hit or miss with some people, I agree that the other games are better. I'll see how long new world will be fun for me haha! Currently I am playing with my uncle so maybe that's why I enjoy it so much. Anyways good luck in your future mmoing!
I am going to create a character called Benny Bezos and form a brigade called the “Bezos Brigade” TOO be part of this brigade you have to let money corrupt your soul and view the rest of humanity as mere ants!!!
Dude I see a plant or a tree or a rock and I'm off and then a wolf and then etc etc it's really nice seeing the levels go up too, yay dopamine. But yah my add brain is having a blast too!
240 hours into this game, when it first realse, I grind so hard to get to lv60, how im in constant war/invasion and its sooo much fun. Just spend the entire evening planing strats with companies in the same faction or sometimes with other factions as well.
60 hours - just under lvl 30 - focused on gathering and crafting - almost all of those just hitting 100 - i love the feel of the game - bunch of bugs - but i’m sure they’ll fix them they’re probably simple to fix - like selling on MB - an item i sell to a buy order still shows it can be sold - until you close window and open again. i love the old feel of the gathering - and like you said the crafting can seem immense - but yeah you work it out as you level. it has a way to go - but i like the slow burn.
I really want to pick this up when I can. I've been craving a new MMO for years but with how busy adult life is, can't justify spending $15 a month for the subscription most MMOs have. Seeing a good one without a subscription is really exciting.
@Hill I get it, you're not happy with modern MMOs, i don't like most of them either. Doesn't mean you should go ranting at everyone who's trying to enjoy the game about how bad you think it is. Stop trying to put people off, let them enjoy it, even if only temporarily
But you didn’t even touch upon or show the weapon skills pages. That’s the most important part of character building/identity. As you said you don’t pick a class, your weapons are your class basically… imo it’s important to highlight that in a review.
My twin sister and I grew up playing games together. After years of growing up, and growing apart she eventually lost her love of games - even though she has a gaming PC it mostly sits unused. Last week we spent over 2 hours together with her showing me her character, how to play the game, and teaching me how to play. I could tell she was so enthusiastic about this game and so happy to have someone to talk with about it. This game is great 👍.
I have really enjoyed this game, a few friends and some grinding and it is hours upon hours of fun. get into the faction stuff and it adds a lot of life, crafting is good, and there is always something to do.
Yeah they definitely need to get a better trading system, I’m a big OSRS player and before as well, it’s pulled me away from OSRS for a little bit but they definitely need to update certain things a lot more to make people quit the games they’ve been currently playing for years and join new world as consistent long term players.
@@nashsingh9177 IMO this trading system is Better. Each settlement having its own separate economy is great and makes it so all items hold their value more consistently. I can go to 1 place buy stuff for real cheap in bulk, move to an area where those things are less common and sell for a flip
@@followthewhiterabbit1089 never heard of it. Looks just like a mix of ark and new world if you ask me (based on 5min of watching some footage) would rather play ark 2 when that releases lmao
@@morlaf9152 Dude! You never heard of it ? =( Use a little longer on it, i think u might get my intreekt, Its the game everyone is waiting for. Hardcore / Casuals / Streamers! In the belives it will be good ofc.
The game is fun. the 2nd time i logged into the game, a high level player randomly requested a trade, gave me 100 health potions, said he crafted too many and its too heavy.
The quests aren't too bad, because you can explore and gather resources whist travelling to your destination, getting a lot of new quests and altering your path slightly. If you just went from A to B and back to A obviously it would be boring. But A to C then D then E and then B is much better
I don't mind the grind, but the lack of enemy variety is mind numbing. There's also some design decisions that are really questionable. The fast travel limitations sucks, it's crazy expensive to jump anywhere. Much less moving any gear from town to town. You want to buy something on market in another town? Just forget about it. You have to pay the excessive fast travel cost, back and forth. Then there's buying a house, the taxes you have to continually pay are absolutely insane. Basically it forces you into yet another grind, you can't pay your weekly taxes, you loose access to your house. Also, the instances require you to craft super expensive keys to get into. Keys that are consumed on use. Since it's only one player in a group that needs to use theirs, every time you want to run an instance means negotiating with some random group which player is going to use their key. It's just awful. If they just fixed those things I could grind away at the rest of it, but those things a major problems imho.
I like the fact that travel is restricted. It restricts ability to quickly gather forces for pvp. It also enforces local economy. Buying things cheap in a region where they are plentiful and selling them in a region that they are not is only viable because of the restriction on fast travel.
I havent picked this up yet, I play a lot of WoW/FF14/ESO etc and I don't know, theres still something off about this from all the videos I've seen and streams I've watched that still put me off getting it just yet. I can't quite put my finger on it. I want to like it, because I have that constant MMO players itch of wanting to play something new, but this just isn't scratching that for me. You're welcome to encourage me to give it a go!
I've not had any problems aside from server issues. However, I'm running a rx 6800 which could be why. Be wary as I've heard that it chugs some hectic resources from others (probably entry-level specs). They have sorted out most if not all server issues that were present at launch time. I've been playing Elder Scrolls Online for years and New World is a breath of fresh air. It may not be as fleshed out skill-wise, but time will tell. I'd say definitely worth it if you have some open time on your hands.
i do not have any friend whos gonna buy this at least for now and i still gonna play because i never played similar MMOs...i think its pretty fun and the only thing that makes me worry a little bit is the appearence of the character :D im gonna have the same char for ever so i kinda need something to make it special :P
the game is really awesome and has a lot of potential something Id like to see is mounts in the game and bigger world expansion, with more storyline. Another cool idea for a game like this would be to put more npc that kind of replicate real people to make it more lively. But the NPCs should be distinguishable too. Also I love your take on the whole game. Ive got 30 hrs in the game right now and I love it. If anyone players I'm in celadon-west coast server names Greg Rexes in game lol
I'm a HUGE fan of ESO and this game just keeps drawing me back to it over ESO. I can't quite put my finger on what exactly keeps me coming back, but I can't go more than a couple days without playing or I start to get withdrawals lol
This has been the one MMO to get me hooked like this. GW2 and WoW pulled me in but never had me spending all day every second I can trying to play the game. Fucking wonderful job Amazon honestly
@@xxeroxxasxx_653 Not just EVGA cards are affected by this. My Gigabyte 3080 also got fried. My old Asus 1070ti runs perfectly find though lol JayzTwoCents made a video on Oct 5 showing what the problem was
Okay, okay, you've convinced me. I love MMORPGs, but was put off this one after hearing about so many crashes on PC. Reading the comments here is reassuring though :)
I’ve forever sworn off MMO’s because of the life sinking time commitment, but I still can’t help the morbid curiosity around watching this game evolve from an outsider’s perspective.
Maybe give it a while because the time/life sink you mention is a really big thing in this game not just leveling but pretty much everything. I have gotten quest to walk 1.8Km walk back to town and then go back a whole 1.8Km to do the exact same thing, then return to town again. I'm lvl 53 and I have given up for the time being.
Now the game is the best mmo ever made. Had a fantastic foundation and the developers have genuinely built upon that. By summer next year, this will be the game to play. Never seen a game with such great updates. Marketing for the expansion is flying under the radar, but I personally feel that AGS is gearing up for even bigger updates next year.
I’m only about 14 hours in. Only played RuneScape when i was younger. I like the game. People are very cool. Someone gave me free items in the town and i asked them to leash me for XP with their fights. Fighting enemies way out of your lvl range does not bless your xp, but your weapon xp yes. Maybe other games were like it where if you just want a bunch of XP you cut trees for 3 hours and do a main quest. Wars are awesome looking. I can’t participate yet, but i watched a stream and it’s very organized. A company leader and squad leaders were all in a discord chat with grunts listening. If you have been interested in an mmo then play it. I have no complaints besides being a miner/lumberjack simulator secondarily.
FF14 already did the legwork to show just how well an MMO could work on a console. I hope at least the new gen systems get this sometime to really expand the playerbase.
*Final Fantasy XIV --- #1 WORLD's MOST POPULAR MMORPG.* *Play the entire A Realm Reborn and Heavensward Expansions.* *FREE with NO Restrictions on playtime.*
I'm an Idle RPG player, and I spent my entire time (maybe 200h) in Runescape chopping down trees and making campfires. I think this game will be great for chill gamers like me, and I do love some good PvP and character progression elements as well.
I’m someone who has never really gone near or got into MMO’s and was wondering if this would be a good place to start. Games I tend to play are open world adventures and Soulsborne games but I’m really on edge with buying this
This one’s a tough call for me. I honestly think it looks really cool but I do worry about what the future of the game will be like which I think is a big factor in whether or not I get it. Edit: Also I really appreciate the review Jake! There’s so many half decent reviews right now so it’s nice to have a source I trust.
I have been playing since the first weekend and im at lvl 37 atm, my advice for whatever its worth to you lol is to buy the game now. Its just 40 dollars and in my opinion in the state the game is in, its worth the 40 dollars, and the more people that play now the more chances the game will be better in the future and live longer!
@@marcms25 Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it. I think I’ll end up getting it seeing as overall I’ve seen a lot of good things and people are having fun.
Just lock your frames and you will never have to worry about the game destroying your gpu. Not a perfect fix but it works. I haven't had any problems playing for over 60 hours. Had to relog a few times to fix ui bugs but other than that its ran smooth and haven't had any quest glitches or anything game breaking.
People keep focusing on what the quests make you do, but never on the stories of the quests themselves. I took the time to read why the characters were asking me to do that stuff, the reason. I liked how they were written and realised what the NPC's concerns are. I understood how much corruption is fought against and how people struggle to maintain their settlements! Why nobody is talking about that?! I do not mind doing these "repetitive tasks" if the reason behind them is a sensible one!
I'm level 23 at the moment and I believe I've only fought five or six different monsters. This name really needs a lot more variety in the enemy department.
ℹ her Disclaimer: I'm not super high level and will re‑review when I am. I'm a very casual gamer (about level 26 right now.) I've had a lot of friends jump in when the game released, except those stuck on FF XIV who will never leave, and have already left New World. That said... ...
I'm going to give this game a go. I just now started playing MMO's and really getting into that style of game, and I think it would be fun to jump in with it being fairly new, so I can experience it as well as expansions firsthand with everyone else. From videos, it looks beautiful for an MMO style game.
So no monetization then? You didn't mention anything about it but I find that hard to believe (and a selling point, if true). That's super important to know for this genre. Also, I heard this was no subscription? Is that true? That would also be a huge selling point. If it doesn't then it would be hard to compare it with MMO's that are 60 bucks up front, $10-$15 per month and still real money stores.
the thing I like the most about new world is it has a ton of potential, the only issue I had was the que time. that's pretty good if the biggest issue is that they have too few servers. I like the combat, the dungeons are unique in that they are not just run from one end to other, one dung you have to clear an area, climb some stuff then come back to an earlier part. the mobs get pretty repetitive but I like the crafting so I spend most my time farming. I've played most mmos other than runescape, the big ones from day 1 release. This game feels like i can just change what I want to do at anytime. the crafting is amazing. once you understand how different mats make better versions of the lower gear, you can score some serious gold in lower zones as long as new players are coming in.
You'll be fine as long as you don't have a 3000 series. Even if you do, I've got a 3080 and I just turned my power limit down to 80% to avoid any power over draw.
@@natek987 It was ONLY EVGA RTX 3090 and cause there was no frame limiter, which there is now. Manufacturers even owned up to their product being faulty.
I heard about this game from a friend who loves Runescape, and it's a little similar. Problem being... I'm not much of a multiplayer kinda guy. I like to chill and do my own thing, fishing or chopping trees in Runescape. So that comment about "It's not the funnest to solo" has me very unsure about buying it
I'm 50 hours in. Love the game. Someone had said that it's friendly to new MMO players and as one, it is. Join group and it's hella fun. It needs more content and fixes. But hey, I'm happy with spending $40.
in 2023 this game is amazing. im 80+ hours in and im loving it. One of my fav MMOs The only thing i wished was there was more race options, Theres only human. Would love to see Elves, Dwarves Ect..
I had assumed that enough time had passed that you all weren't gonna do a Before You Buy on this one so I got it, You all are pretty on point on releasing these. The game is pretty meh. I hope it gets better.
To all the people that say the game need mounts, i think you are mistaken. It would take away from the little pvp random encounters we already have atm. I really think the game needs instead more fast travel shrines, like a lot more and also the ability to hold more azoth
I picked it up after watching the first hour or so of gameplay, and I'm enjoying it. Biggest draw for me is the lack of a subscription fee. I'm playing super casually, so I wouldn't be able to justify an ongoing charge for this. Been spending a lot of time out in the world collecting materials and crafting things, which does a decent job of leveling me up, but it's a bit limiting playing this way because I need more materials and have to roam into territory that's more challenging combat wise than I'm prepared for. Community so far has been pretty good, generally helpful. Did run across one girl offering...services...for gold. Just ran up to me and asked me on proximity voice chat, which was a little weird, then ran around the rest of town and kept asking when I declined. XD
I asked one of my friends about this game after seeing MULTIPLE ads for it, he sent me the link to this video. It definitely told me what I need to know to consider buying the game, as long as it's Available on Xbox one. That's my only concern at this point
I am always very weary when people say "this needs some work but..." It mostly ends up with : updates ruin the game but the work that it needed never happens.....
I've put about 100 hours into it so far (without counting queue time, which is mostly gone), and I've really enjoyed it for the most part. As mentioned in the video, the quest design and variety is awful but it hasn't really bothered me much as I really just enjoy the grind. Watching that exp bar increase slowly and steadily as well as my gathering/crafting and weapon skills just does something for me. It's still satisfying after 100 hours. I should mention that I'm at level 52 out of 60. I haven't been rushing or leveling optimally, but even if you do it takes quite a while to level.
Just about 100 hours in and at level 44, the grind is REAL, as you said it needs more variety in quests and gameplay, but the PVP is great! I do wish there was some type of mount or glider that we could us. walking back and forth to the same area to do a different fetch quest gets old (This doesn't really change in the higher level zones). But I have the benefit of playing with my pocket healer GF :D
This game has great potential, I will admit. But it's current state seems like a copy and paste of a generic mmo. I hope their identity flourishes a bit more and not end up like anthem
Beware, while the game IS fun, great crafting, fun gameplay but causes many freezes and crashes on many PCs. It’s a gamble to purchase it. Game beeds to be optimized.

I’ve put about 20 hours in so far and I’m not overly impressed. The one thing I will say though is that New World has the potential to be great, if it takes the right direction going forth
This is gonna be the first proper MMO I pick up, no subscription!
@@nichenetwork9817 I’ve always found that MMO’s are subscription based for a reason. Until it turns out the fan base isn’t there and it goes free to play. But if you have no previous MMO’s to compare to, you might find it a blast! For me at least, World of Warcraft is the absolute pinnacle of what an MMO is and should be. Therefore every MMO I play immediately gets compared to it. And none do compare to it; bar that odd exception that comes close (also subscription based). But I hope you have a good time playing it, it’s good for what it is and will only get better!
@@nichenetwork9817 lost ark is free and is better
@@kieranbritten2522 WOW is probably the worst MMO ever at this point the only good thing about it is lore and transmogs. Lost Ark is way better
@Rita 25 y.o - check my vidéó you have not played many MMOS or good games have you?
Ah yes, the Jeff Bezos MMO
Lol
C'mon Jeff... get 'em!
Yeah. Whats funny about that?
He did say there are no merchants, just public market 🙃😒😉
Daddy Bezos needs to get his game under control.
my Fav thing about this game so far has to be the teritory control. The fact that I am apart of a group of people who own the town and have to protect it through war and open world pvp just seems very interesting to me
Sounds exactly like lineage 2. Now that was the best mmo pvp out there.
You should really try Foxhole if you like territory control and sieges.
@@Omidion I’ll give it a look
@@massimo4282 Also Foxhole is the first and only Early Access game i ever got and i must say it was worth it. The game is in all reality done, it has everything (and the devs will add more). As i gather the devs are waiting for a right time to get the game to version 1.0. Which should be by the end of the year.
If you got any questions, ask, and i'll try and answer.
It’s the pvp for me, especially the rapier, it feels like I’m a ninja fr 💀 also fighting other rapier players makes for some good cinematics.
agree with everything you said
the respec option is great for trying out different abilities and moving stats around to better benefit a different fighting style and its really affordable to respec with no cooldown times, you can respec as much as you want for a small fee of ingame gold.
the world is a bit empty atm and soloing can get boring but with all the different skills to level up you can get easily distracted going from one point to another on the map and sink hours into it.
they do need more quests choices and customization it can get pretty monotonous especially when i revisit the same area for the 5th time doing a reskin of the same quest for different items.
id give it a few months to ripen before you buy the game
P a r a g r a p h s
One good thing about the game is that you're really WORKING for your levels. It's not something to where you're power-leveling 2-4x every hour. The traveling sucks ass but so far I'm only 8 hours deep and level 16 but I'm enjoying it.
Another annoying thing are trolls. You can't server swap your character to avoid people in areas so you have to literally deal with someone who's fucking up your quest by killing the mobs/boss/looting or skinning what you need.
Edit: I'm lvl 32 and it's getting a bit repetitive, but once you have the items for expeditions and the Azoth staff, you can do corrupted portals and finally move up to Brightwood and see other areas of the map than just ever fall and what's below.
Edit again: level 41 and another nuisance is having certain storyline quests requore partying to complete them. Other than that, still good.
"Sneaky-Creepy Guys?" Excuse me, we, The Syndicate, are People of Science... LOL! Kidding aside, excellent video as always

119 hours in and I definitely enjoy the game. But i agree with what you said about the quests needing more lol they definitely get more tough around level 25 but the quests in general are very repetitive. Beautiful mmo though, interesting enemies and definitely a blast to play in a group.
“New World” is how I feel when I see a brand new gameranx video and an opportunity to hear the sweet coo of Jake’s voice
thanks lol
@@gameranxTV Ohmygod you replied year has been made
Warning: If your buying this for the PVP, don't bother because it's super broken. They just fixed an invincibility exploit....one of many used to win war and take territories from other factions.
There's also a lag bug the attacking party regularly uses....Exploits are so openly used in taking hard earned territories that it's not uncommon to see one color controlling an entire map by simply using hacks/exploits to rob you of a fair fight for your territory...
If you care about PVP at all don't buy this game because it has serious game breaking exploits that are regularly used in pvp and will be seen all over streams.
you are talking about war.. and yeah a little broken with a exploit they should fix. I have not seen this exploit yet but im sure people are using it.. this is your opinion
so weird to say if you care about pvp don't buy this game LOL
@@bobbythorton7693 I have personally seen it, and not just one or two guys...no...if it were just that then I wouldn't be complaining. This isn't an opinion, this is a fact and all you have to do is go watch streamed wars too see it for yourself. Not every company in a faction is doing it. In fact it's normally just one were they deliberately tell their players to do these things. The fact is that the Developers have openly admitted to people using invincibility to win wars, while at the same time not offering any plans on doing anything about the territories they won by using these exploits.
S p a c e o u t y o u r p a r a g r a p h s.
Also, thanks for the heads up man
Didn’t expect y’all to cover this for some reason. Glad you did!
me too
I bought this game after watching a friend play it for a couple hours and heard him tell me how much he loves it. I can honestly say that I do not regret buying it one bit. I have only put in about 8 hours but I have loved every moment that I have spent in the world. I love that your not forced to focus on one thing. I agree that the story and questing is a bit boring. The beauty and the amount of other things you can do is what keeps me coming back. I am not a pvp person so I doubt I will be participating in any of that stuff. Still worth the money!!
I hope it comes to PS4 or PS5
Grinded 140 hours already in this game and all I can say is it rekindled my love for MMORPG again. A few bugs here and there but that can be fixed. Hope they would add dedicated servers to certain regions though as the ping is crucial in PVPs and Wars.
Hol' up. They arent using dedicated servers? Are they using P2P?
@@pizzakungen92 dedicated pvp servers. Right now it's a mix of pvp and pve players. PvP servers would generally run lower latency, or be dedicated. But I'm pretty sure he's just talking about dedicated pvp servers.
New world does not run on p2p lol, that would mean extreme lag 100x worse than what we've got now, don't worry haha.
“Slashing wildly is a bad habit you’ll need to break once you hit the mid/late game”
Says the guy who hasn’t reached level 20 hachet.
while you do get used to enemy types as you level up enemies start using different scarier attacks to throw you off a bit but ye deffo more fun with friends especially the expeditions aka dungeons.

@@wiedzmin8204 prolly not if he keeps putting 9k hours into games
@@jwalkrr especially on the worse DLC from that game.
I have 72 hours in the game so far. It's a fun experience. I love leveling. But pvp really don't come until you are higher level. Like in the 40s. Which will take time. You get clapped otherwise. It does need some kind of mount system. But it's a fun game. I am part of a company and it's great to be part of tbis community.
What’s tbis
Unfortunately I don’t think they will ever add mounts at least not for a long time. If they just threw mounts into the game as it is then it would totally break the fast travel/gathering/leveling economy of the game. World traversal is a huge part of that and all the time u take to travel around is factored into the overall game balancing. Not saying they can’t add mounts or they shouldn’t (personally I wish we had em) but I’m not holding my breath.
Can't have mounts yet because it will cut the game time to completion by a good 50% maybe more. The game is empty and boring. It needed open world PvP to carry it, without it, its a walking simulator. I honestly understand them stripping out the full loot aspects but allowing PvP to be toggled off without having more fleshed out PvE content and interesting quests was a big mistake.
Dammn my bro grinding hard
@@Alias_Reign it’s fine honestly this game has honestly amazing crafting and gathering so I still have a lot of fun, their also planning a massive expansion to the map and quests based on a data mine.
Glad to see a small resurgence in MMOs. I felt like the trend died out years ago, so this is refreshing.
@Hill it's actually better than I thought it would be. I've played a lot of mmos and new world is probably in my top 5
@Hill the mmos I've played are guild wars, guild wars 2, ESO, BDO, runescape, and star wars old republic. Eso gets boring after a little bit and BDO is just fucking bad ngl
@Hill Yeah new world is either a hit or miss with some people, I agree that the other games are better. I'll see how long new world will be fun for me haha! Currently I am playing with my uncle so maybe that's why I enjoy it so much. Anyways good luck in your future mmoing!
Yeah I was hoping it would die
*Ignore this "Hill" guy, His account is literally a couple days old only made to troll and sh/t on New World.*
I only have about 50 hours into it, but I really enjoy it. There’s so much to do crafting wise, that my ADD mind never gets bored.
I am going to create a character called Benny Bezos and form a brigade called the “Bezos Brigade”
TOO be part of this brigade you have to let money corrupt your soul and view the rest of humanity as mere ants!!!
Ikr? Half the time I’ve spent in this game is finding random things to collect, harvesting is def the ADD profession of choice IMO lol
Dude I see a plant or a tree or a rock and I'm off and then a wolf and then etc etc it's really nice seeing the levels go up too, yay dopamine. But yah my add brain is having a blast too!
240 hours into this game, when it first realse, I grind so hard to get to lv60, how im in constant war/invasion and its sooo much fun. Just spend the entire evening planing strats with companies in the same faction or sometimes with other factions as well.
60 hours - just under lvl 30 - focused on gathering and crafting - almost all of those just hitting 100 - i love the feel of the game - bunch of bugs - but i’m sure they’ll fix them they’re probably simple to fix - like selling on MB - an item i sell to a buy order still shows it can be sold - until you close window and open again. i love the old feel of the gathering - and like you said the crafting can seem immense - but yeah you work it out as you level. it has a way to go - but i like the slow burn.
I really want to pick this up when I can. I've been craving a new MMO for years but with how busy adult life is, can't justify spending $15 a month for the subscription most MMOs have. Seeing a good one without a subscription is really exciting.
Busy adult life goes pretty well with New world! Fast leveling.. I get around 1-2 hours of playtime during the afternoon and im having a blast
Its not a good mmo in my opinion... dont waste your time.
It is a good mmo in my opinion, you should give it a try i have enjoyed a lot, and im with the video, is not perfect but the foundation is nice
@Hill You seem awfully rude mate. I get that you don't like it but let other people have their opinions
@Hill I get it, you're not happy with modern MMOs, i don't like most of them either. Doesn't mean you should go ranting at everyone who's trying to enjoy the game about how bad you think it is. Stop trying to put people off, let them enjoy it, even if only temporarily
Funny how the character looks like he's sprinting but you only move like at like a brisk walk speed.
But you didn’t even touch upon or show the weapon skills pages. That’s the most important part of character building/identity. As you said you don’t pick a class, your weapons are your class basically… imo it’s important to highlight that in a review.
Yup. The combat can get pretty deep because of this and I see potential for much much more
My twin sister and I grew up playing games together. After years of growing up, and growing apart she eventually lost her love of games - even though she has a gaming PC it mostly sits unused.
Last week we spent over 2 hours together with her showing me her character, how to play the game, and teaching me how to play. I could tell she was so enthusiastic about this game and so happy to have someone to talk with about it. This game is great 👍.
congrats bro, i hope you guys get plenty more hours in together. much love
I have really enjoyed this game, a few friends and some grinding and it is hours upon hours of fun. get into the faction stuff and it adds a lot of life, crafting is good, and there is always something to do.
Has so much of a runescape feeling
I couldn't disagree more. Besides mining and chopping trees, this game has nothing in common with Runescape.
If it was more like RuneScape it would be better the grand exchange is much better then trading post
@@SirDiamondNips one interpretation
Yeah they definitely need to get a better trading system, I’m a big OSRS player and before as well, it’s pulled me away from OSRS for a little bit but they definitely need to update certain things a lot more to make people quit the games they’ve been currently playing for years and join new world as consistent long term players.
@@nashsingh9177 IMO this trading system is Better. Each settlement having its own separate economy is great and makes it so all items hold their value more consistently. I can go to 1 place buy stuff for real cheap in bulk, move to an area where those things are less common and sell for a flip
With all its flaws im still addicted to this since it came out
This is exactly what I've been waiting for!
Me too
Same, but a bit to late (bought the game last week) however, personally loving it so whatever 🤷♂️
U got pretty low expectations for a game. If Ashes of Creations turns out, just semi good, its gonna rock ur world.
@@followthewhiterabbit1089 never heard of it. Looks just like a mix of ark and new world if you ask me (based on 5min of watching some footage) would rather play ark 2 when that releases lmao
@@morlaf9152 Dude! You never heard of it ? =( Use a little longer on it, i think u might get my intreekt, Its the game everyone is waiting for. Hardcore / Casuals / Streamers! In the belives it will be good ofc.
The game is fun. the 2nd time i logged into the game, a high level player randomly requested a trade, gave me 100 health potions, said he crafted too many and its too heavy.
That sounds fun! Is this on console?
Pc only.
Once you get really good with the musket, you can unlock the ar15
And can add a bumpstock
The quests aren't too bad, because you can explore and gather resources whist travelling to your destination, getting a lot of new quests and altering your path slightly. If you just went from A to B and back to A obviously it would be boring. But A to C then D then E and then B is much better
I don't mind the grind, but the lack of enemy variety is mind numbing. There's also some design decisions that are really questionable. The fast travel limitations sucks, it's crazy expensive to jump anywhere. Much less moving any gear from town to town. You want to buy something on market in another town? Just forget about it. You have to pay the excessive fast travel cost, back and forth.
Then there's buying a house, the taxes you have to continually pay are absolutely insane. Basically it forces you into yet another grind, you can't pay your weekly taxes, you loose access to your house.
Also, the instances require you to craft super expensive keys to get into. Keys that are consumed on use. Since it's only one player in a group that needs to use theirs, every time you want to run an instance means negotiating with some random group which player is going to use their key. It's just awful.
If they just fixed those things I could grind away at the rest of it, but those things a major problems imho.
I like the fact that travel is restricted. It restricts ability to quickly gather forces for pvp. It also enforces local economy. Buying things cheap in a region where they are plentiful and selling them in a region that they are not is only viable because of the restriction on fast travel.
I havent picked this up yet, I play a lot of WoW/FF14/ESO etc and I don't know, theres still something off about this from all the videos I've seen and streams I've watched that still put me off getting it just yet. I can't quite put my finger on it. I want to like it, because I have that constant MMO players itch of wanting to play something new, but this just isn't scratching that for me. You're welcome to encourage me to give it a go!
Another great episode Jake!!
thanks!
@Dedue Do bruh that happen 3 yrs ago lmao. Who cares now. Has anything like that happen recently?
I've not had any problems aside from server issues. However, I'm running a rx 6800 which could be why. Be wary as I've heard that it chugs some hectic resources from others (probably entry-level specs).
They have sorted out most if not all server issues that were present at launch time.
I've been playing Elder Scrolls Online for years and New World is a breath of fresh air. It may not be as fleshed out skill-wise, but time will tell.
I'd say definitely worth it if you have some open time on your hands.
i do not have any friend whos gonna buy this at least for now and i still gonna play because i never played similar MMOs...i think its pretty fun and the only thing that makes me worry a little bit is the appearence of the character :D im gonna have the same char for ever so i kinda need something to make it special :P
“Jeffrey Bezos MMO” would’ve been a much better name
the game is really awesome and has a lot of potential something Id like to see is mounts in the game and bigger world expansion, with more storyline. Another cool idea for a game like this would be to put more npc that kind of replicate real people to make it more lively. But the NPCs should be distinguishable too. Also I love your take on the whole game. Ive got 30 hrs in the game right now and I love it. If anyone players I'm in celadon-west coast server names Greg Rexes in game lol
I'm a HUGE fan of ESO and this game just keeps drawing me back to it over ESO. I can't quite put my finger on what exactly keeps me coming back, but I can't go more than a couple days without playing or I start to get withdrawals lol

Okay, okay, you've convinced me. I love MMORPGs, but was put off this one after hearing about so many crashes on PC. Reading the comments here is reassuring though :)
I’ve forever sworn off MMO’s because of the life sinking time commitment, but I still can’t help the morbid curiosity around watching this game evolve from an outsider’s perspective.
Maybe give it a while because the time/life sink you mention is a really big thing in this game not just leveling but pretty much everything. I have gotten quest to walk 1.8Km walk back to town and then go back a whole 1.8Km to do the exact same thing, then return to town again. I'm lvl 53 and I have given up for the time being.
Basically why would you want to play a job like game when you already have a job irl???
Now the game is the best mmo ever made. Had a fantastic foundation and the developers have genuinely built upon that. By summer next year, this will be the game to play. Never seen a game with such great updates. Marketing for the expansion is flying under the radar, but I personally feel that AGS is gearing up for even bigger updates next year.
Why you created Freddie Mercury and called him a idiot...what a savage this dude
I’m only about 14 hours in. Only played RuneScape when i was younger. I like the game. People are very cool. Someone gave me free items in the town and i asked them to leash me for XP with their fights. Fighting enemies way out of your lvl range does not bless your xp, but your weapon xp yes. Maybe other games were like it where if you just want a bunch of XP you cut trees for 3 hours and do a main quest. Wars are awesome looking. I can’t participate yet, but i watched a stream and it’s very organized. A company leader and squad leaders were all in a discord chat with grunts listening. If you have been interested in an mmo then play it. I have no complaints besides being a miner/lumberjack simulator secondarily.
FF14 already did the legwork to show just how well an MMO could work on a console. I hope at least the new gen systems get this sometime to really expand the playerbase.

This one’s a tough call for me. I honestly think it looks really cool but I do worry about what the future of the game will be like which I think is a big factor in whether or not I get it.
Edit: Also I really appreciate the review Jake! There’s so many half decent reviews right now so it’s nice to have a source I trust.
I have been playing since the first weekend and im at lvl 37 atm, my advice for whatever its worth to you lol is to buy the game now. Its just 40 dollars and in my opinion in the state the game is in, its worth the 40 dollars, and the more people that play now the more chances the game will be better in the future and live longer!
@@marcms25 Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it. I think I’ll end up getting it seeing as overall I’ve seen a lot of good things and people are having fun.
Just lock your frames and you will never have to worry about the game destroying your gpu. Not a perfect fix but it works. I haven't had any problems playing for over 60 hours. Had to relog a few times to fix ui bugs but other than that its ran smooth and haven't had any quest glitches or anything game breaking.
i actually like to solo in this game, especially grinding up the professions. i´m getting rich!
People keep focusing on what the quests make you do, but never on the stories of the quests themselves. I took the time to read why the characters were asking me to do that stuff, the reason. I liked how they were written and realised what the NPC's concerns are. I understood how much corruption is fought against and how people struggle to maintain their settlements! Why nobody is talking about that?!
I do not mind doing these "repetitive tasks" if the reason behind them is a sensible one!
It's not gameplay
I'm level 23 at the moment and I believe I've only fought five or six different monsters. This name really needs a lot more variety in the enemy department.
You clearly haven’t made it to the higher level areas, or corrupted zones and stuff

Me watching the before you buy after buying it not even a week ago and having almost 50 hours on it:
Interesting
Only 50 hours lol
Rookie numbers I'm 135 hours
I'm going to give this game a go. I just now started playing MMO's and really getting into that style of game, and I think it would be fun to jump in with it being fairly new, so I can experience it as well as expansions firsthand with everyone else. From videos, it looks beautiful for an MMO style game.
"New World - After You Buy" title. is. fixed.
😂 This boy not learned not to buy games day one yet
So no monetization then? You didn't mention anything about it but I find that hard to believe (and a selling point, if true). That's super important to know for this genre.
Also, I heard this was no subscription? Is that true? That would also be a huge selling point. If it doesn't then it would be hard to compare it with MMO's that are 60 bucks up front, $10-$15 per month and still real money stores.
I wouldn't play an Amazon game if it was free.
the thing I like the most about new world is it has a ton of potential, the only issue I had was the que time. that's pretty good if the biggest issue is that they have too few servers. I like the combat, the dungeons are unique in that they are not just run from one end to other, one dung you have to clear an area, climb some stuff then come back to an earlier part. the mobs get pretty repetitive but I like the crafting so I spend most my time farming.
I've played most mmos other than runescape, the big ones from day 1 release. This game feels like i can just change what I want to do at anytime.
the crafting is amazing. once you understand how different mats make better versions of the lower gear, you can score some serious gold in lower zones as long as new players are coming in.
This is the first game I've ever avoided because of all the stories about bricked GPUs.
Exactly. I have zero interest in even considering this game until that shit it fixed.
It was just because those gpus didn’t have a limiter

All the stories? You mean it happened to a handful of people then everyone started posting about it as if it's a rampant problem. It's not.
I heard about this game from a friend who loves Runescape, and it's a little similar. Problem being... I'm not much of a multiplayer kinda guy. I like to chill and do my own thing, fishing or chopping trees in Runescape. So that comment about "It's not the funnest to solo" has me very unsure about buying it
I'm 50 hours in. Love the game. Someone had said that it's friendly to new MMO players and as one, it is. Join group and it's hella fun. It needs more content and fixes. But hey, I'm happy with spending $40.

To all the people that say the game need mounts, i think you are mistaken. It would take away from the little pvp random encounters we already have atm. I really think the game needs instead more fast travel shrines, like a lot more and also the ability to hold more azoth
Me: "This game looks fun".
My 5 year old PC: 🤣🤣🤣
It will run it fine
I picked it up after watching the first hour or so of gameplay, and I'm enjoying it. Biggest draw for me is the lack of a subscription fee. I'm playing super casually, so I wouldn't be able to justify an ongoing charge for this. Been spending a lot of time out in the world collecting materials and crafting things, which does a decent job of leveling me up, but it's a bit limiting playing this way because I need more materials and have to roam into territory that's more challenging combat wise than I'm prepared for. Community so far has been pretty good, generally helpful. Did run across one girl offering...services...for gold. Just ran up to me and asked me on proximity voice chat, which was a little weird, then ran around the rest of town and kept asking when I declined. XD
Been waiting for this 🙏🏼
I asked one of my friends about this game after seeing MULTIPLE ads for it, he sent me the link to this video. It definitely told me what I need to know to consider buying the game, as long as it's Available on Xbox one. That's my only concern at this point
Don't buy this game its garbage in its current state and won't be fixed for about a year
*I'm already Level 60, i'm freaking abdicated to New World, ignore the haters, This game is AMAZING!*
ofc overall its amazing
I am always very weary when people say "this needs some work but..."
It mostly ends up with :
updates ruin the game but the work that it needed never happens.....
I want to be honest, this is one of the most rare MMO games in my life that I'm struggling to reach level 60 out of boredom! Insane Copy paste.
I've put about 100 hours into it so far (without counting queue time, which is mostly gone), and I've really enjoyed it for the most part.
As mentioned in the video, the quest design and variety is awful but it hasn't really bothered me much as I really just enjoy the grind. Watching that exp bar increase slowly and steadily as well as my gathering/crafting and weapon skills just does something for me. It's still satisfying after 100 hours.
I should mention that I'm at level 52 out of 60. I haven't been rushing or leveling optimally, but even if you do it takes quite a while to level.
I was on the edge and the video really convinced me to not buy it. Thank you!
Just about 100 hours in and at level 44, the grind is REAL, as you said it needs more variety in quests and gameplay, but the PVP is great! I do wish there was some type of mount or glider that we could us. walking back and forth to the same area to do a different fetch quest gets old (This doesn't really change in the higher level zones). But I have the benefit of playing with my pocket healer GF :D
This game has great potential, I will admit. But it's current state seems like a copy and paste of a generic mmo. I hope their identity flourishes a bit more and not end up like anthem
If this game comes on Prime Gaming in India I'd definitely try it.
