"On drugs with jelly guns." Welcome back, I've checked this channel probably 10 times yesterday and around 30 times over the vacation. Thanks for doing what you do. Don't let any of the hate tear you down.
My personal thought of this channel. I like to watch your reviews because you are constantly honest about the graphics,AI,and generally the game by it self no matter who made the game. You sometimes may be rude to the programmers but it is true that the prices are ridiculous. I thought i was the only one that hates games in 3rd person. Just because there isn't that feeling of concern what is happening behind and... Well you get the point. You have sense for humor,but at the same time you got the point when criticizing the game. PS: Keep hitting dem bell !
I've learned my lesson many times over with EA titles but I still enjoy watching your reviews because 1) I know they're going to be brutally honest and 2) that brutal honesty is often hilarious! Many an EA developer must fear hearing that you're in the process of reviewing their "game" next... ;-)
Oh my god it's here, I have been waiting for you Mack to review this piece of shit ever since I tried it on the Manchester Play Expo 2014. I tried it because it was hooked up to an oculus demo and I really wanted to try the oculus, it was absolutely fucking horrible, I killed like 2 enemies and then I had nothing to do and just wandered around like an idiot in hot, sweaty Oculus Rift goggles (because they were in constant use you see, a long ass que to get to them) So yeah it was not pleasant.
Patryk Kleczkowski That game was ghostship Aftermath, a different game entirely from CDF Ghostship. CDF Ghostship is made for NoneVR and will be at the Blackpool Expo Next month :)
Shaun Williams I am sorry but if your game looks like it was done in paint and plays like it was programmed in notepad then no, you can't please ANYONE. Some of the assets that I have done in Lightwave in my school look better than some of this stuff
Well if that was the case why have you not helped out? As a time served modeller of 20 years, it has been a hard job to model just over a thousand game assets in 2 years, and thats onlya small % of development. If you dont like it, thats fine. i am a realist, but there are many who do, or i would not still be here after 2 years to finish the game. Please give me some links to the college work you speak of.
Dude.. I will tell you now.. after hearing you do reviews with the bell, every time I hear a bell I'm thinking about your bad game reviews (bad games, not bad reviews lol) I work in a cafe so a bell goes off maybe 50 times a day haha. I love it! Tell em how it is mate dunno how anyone could give something like this, or COD a good review. .. mate did you hear the new black ops is coming soon?? Another COD, already?!? Only two of the map packs is out for advance warfare.. shit I hope they get Kevin Spacey for 3hrs of cut scenes yew!
Wow, what a great game to get you back into things!!!!Good to have you back and hope you had a great holiday, you're SO right, this looks like a PS2 title at best and Doom 3 is WAY better and yet it came out in 2004!!!!
Mack could you do a Down to One review? Its playerbase is rather small, but the devs schedule days that everyone gets on to play. It seems like an interesting spin for the FPS genre, one that if done well can inject some life back into it and hopefully make the COD franchise rethink putting out yet another remake of the same game as last year.
I guess you don't like my game, some do and some don't. The difference with my game is that its made by one person on almost zero budget. As a single dev Indie game it is on a different level for graphics and sound etc, But its great that you compare my game to that of AAA games like Doom, Dead space etc. The game is still in early access and more polish is being added all the time.
Shaun Williams How about you don't charge $15 for this. How about that? Release a demo or just make it less than $5. But for $15? Your just taking money from people...
There will be a demo on full release when its more polished and finished. Its about value for money with a min of 30 hours gameplay to almost limitless so the 15 dollar price tag will be the launch price. This game has been made by one man on almost zero budget. My next game should be much better with the funds that this game makes. if i can make a game of this scale by myself on almost zero budget, Imagine what i could do with some funds and a small team. The demo is the most crucial aspect as some people will love it and some will not, all depends what you are expecting. If you are expecting a AAA polished game with bells and whistles and a few nights gameplay then go for something else. If you want a game that is packed full gameplay and various game modes where you can spend 100s of hours on the Ghostship like some people have, then be sure to check out the demo and make your own mind up :)
Great vid. I try to exercise caution when buying stuff, but I'm a sucker for anything derelict ship and had Ghostship Aftermath on my wishlist so it's likely I would have bought these at some point. Bonus points for youtube jumping straight from this to the move Ghost Ship which I will always insist on liking because, again, sucker for anything derelict ship. Thanks worthabuy guy.
Thanks for the review, mack. Another game on the shit list. Can you do a WaB on killing floor 2 (available late april or so)? I thoroughly enjoyed both the original mod and the steam release of killing floor, but 2 is coming out on early access (woo, this bodes well...). I'm highly interested, but I'd like you to test the water before I (and many others) take the plunge. By the way, what's your opinion on these WaB requests/suggestions? If it bothers you I'll keep that in mind and wait for the next "suggest a game" vid.
i feel the same way mac, that's why i follow you. hell, i might as well get into the video game industry too. pump these out every couple months. but that is the problem, steam has made it so anyone can.
I've been a fan of WAB since the X-Rebirth review (best review ever). I have been waiting for Ghostship to turn up in the reviews but also knew Mack would berate it as many do. I think most of the things he said were fair but without consideration for the fact a single person made this game. I say single person, there has been some help in certain areas, but all assets have been modelled by one person. That is over 1000 models. Ever made a single model? It can take days/weeks/months. The game is in early access so it is not finished (the menu options are being worked on currently for example) but every other early access game is unfinished too. There is no bleeding of cash from the consumer. They want to play it or they dont. They pay or they dont. It's not a AAA fee because it is an indie developer. Im not criticising the scope of Mack's review because I KNEW he was gonna trash it. I was just hoping he would realise it is a single person making this and give it some slack. As Shaun said, he did this with ZERO budget. The average games development cost is 15million. Imagine what he could do with that kind of funding.
tehf00n Sadly sentiment counts for nothing, it's all about the end product, is it worth the money and in this case I have to say no. I will again mention my own learning curve in video production. I worked 12 hours a day unpaid for 3 years, I was supported by my wife, I was not even allowed to claim welfare as I was technically not available for work due to me learning video production from a seasoned professional, working for free. My first few videos were all done for free, I never charged for them as imo they were not good enough. After years of practice I was eventually doing videos for between 4 - 9k until the bankers crashed the economy and left us all out of work. In the gaming industry people charge money for what I call practice games, these are nothing more than projects, they are not professional products. Slaughtering Grounds is a great example, it's not a product, it's a project, it's too easy to get shite on steam, write up a bullshit description and watch the money pour in, this must stop and I fully intend to warn people about such games.
Worth A Buy I would say the difference here is that when applied with an awareness of how much work is involved and disregarding if it's your kind of game or not, it's only fair to give credit to the creator for the amount of work put in. Personally it's not my type of game. I think I have put about 80 minutes into it total. I agree with most of what you said in your review and can understand the displeasure at it not cutting the grade of a budgeted game. I simply have to give credit to anyone who makes a game with this amount of scope (the random elements, the size of the ship, etc) mostly by themselves and with no budget. I have seen the code of this game and I can tell you it's a crazy amount of work. Not to mention the thousands of assets. Worth a buy? I would say maybe. Some people enjoy it. What it is worth is debateable.
tehf00n so, basically, what you're saying is we should not criticize a shitty game if it was made by one person. Shit is shit, it doesn't matter if was made by a huge "AAA" team with a million dollar budget or by a single person with pocket change. There are a lot of good indie games out there. This is not one of them.
Pablo Moysés that isnt what I am saying. I respect people's opinion on games as long as they play them for a good few hours. Something Mack didn't do for a start. I get he can decide if he likes a game within 10 minutes. Im fine with that as most people are the same. What I was saying is that the acheivement of a person in regards to development scale and scope is worth giving credit to. If you can make a game this size and make all the assets yourself then it doesn't matter if the game is Diakatana... you would deserve credit. I am familiar with all areas of games development so I know just what amount of work has gone into this. 2 years, 100 hour weeks, miss friends, family and essentially become a loner to follow a dream. If the game is not to everyone's taste that is fine. You can't please everyone but at least give the guy credit for his hard work that continues even now.
After 25 mins people were begging me to turn it off. (Haha)........... I still want it though, even if it's just to get it off my wishlist. (Lack of changeable options though is enough to make me think twice. Plus I hate it when games don't give the feeling of doing damage.)
I honestly think many of the reviews for these games are either from family/friends and/or people bribed by the devs in some way (a free copy, actual money to review, sexual favours, etc...).
*WASH CARS? CLEAN WINDOWS?* Come on Mack - that was unnecessarily harsh. If someone knows programming and they make a game - and you think that the game is not good enough, then you could at least say to program something else - besides a game - not to go and wash cars. Just a software designer's point of view.
Vallen Davis When one person makes an entire game with skills across every aspect of its development, I am sure I could get get a better job at washing windows but it wont be as self rewarding as saying I did that :) I take words like those with a pinch of salt or I would have quit 2 years ago LOL
Welcome back Mack. Not the best coming home present this was it? My advice...Hook up your Occulus and log back in to Elite: Dangerous to get the bad taste of this out of your system.
2 x shit = shit...........mathematics with mack hahaha

Kevin Wilson mackmatics?

MACK IS BACK!

It looks like Armorines on the N64... If I didn't know this was a worthabuy video, I'd have thought it was some kind of a throw back.
*****
Great game... 16 years ago lol.
"I think they all committed suicide because its so bad" that one got me Mack
My personal thought of this channel.
I like to watch your reviews because you are constantly honest about the graphics,AI,and generally the game by it self no matter who made the game. You sometimes may be rude to the programmers but it is true that the prices are
ridiculous. I thought i was the only one that hates games in 3rd person. Just because there isn't that feeling of concern what is happening behind and... Well you get the point. You have sense for humor,but at the same time you got the point when criticizing the game.
PS: Keep hitting dem bell !
Glad to have you back Mack
glad to have you back mack
Hurray I've missed my worth a buys. Hoping this is a rant :)
Neil Scott I felt the same way
Neil Scott Thank God hes Back!!!

xMATTSTERx :p don't drop it in the toilet !!!
Callum Milner Mad Dux just knows ;)
I've learned my lesson many times over with EA titles but I still enjoy watching your reviews because 1) I know they're going to be brutally honest and 2) that brutal honesty is often hilarious! Many an EA developer must fear hearing that you're in the process of reviewing their "game" next... ;-)
Glad to have you back Mack! :)
Wooo! Welcome back Mack! Hope you had a great holiday. Really looking forward to your GTA V review. :D
Welcome back, Mack!

"2 x shit = shit!" good to have you back mate.
Not just the triumphant return of Mack, but the return of the bell as well!
Welcome back Mack! ;D

Oh my god it's here, I have been waiting for you Mack to review this piece of shit ever since I tried it on the Manchester Play Expo 2014.

Shaun Williams It's shit anyway lol
You wll find in the games industry, you cant please them all. Be sure to avoid our CDF Starfighter Unveil at Play Expo :) Different game entirely :)
Shaun Williams I am sorry but if your game looks like it was done in paint and plays like it was programmed in notepad then no, you can't please ANYONE.
Some of the assets that I have done in Lightwave in my school look better than some of this stuff

Cheers
Welcome back, Mac. Missed you.
Out of curiosity, where are you from? Manchester?
Dude.. I will tell you now.. after hearing you do reviews with the bell, every time I hear a bell I'm thinking about your bad game reviews (bad games, not bad reviews lol) I work in a cafe so a bell goes off maybe 50 times a day haha.
I love it! Tell em how it is mate dunno how anyone could give something like this, or COD a good review. .. mate did you hear the new black ops is coming soon?? Another COD, already?!? Only two of the map packs is out for advance warfare.. shit I hope they get Kevin Spacey for 3hrs of cut scenes yew!

The bell, oh how I missed the sound.
Mack could you do a Down to One review? Its playerbase is rather small, but the devs schedule days that everyone gets on to play. It seems like an interesting spin for the FPS genre, one that if done well can inject some life back into it and hopefully make the COD franchise rethink putting out yet another remake of the same game as last year.
Lol welcome back m8 missed your reviews

You have to make the demo good so it combines people to buy the full version :)
Welcome back. It was worth the wait.
Great vid. I try to exercise caution when buying stuff, but I'm a sucker for anything derelict ship and had Ghostship Aftermath on my wishlist so it's likely I would have bought these at some point. Bonus points for youtube jumping straight from this to the move Ghost Ship which I will always insist on liking because, again, sucker for anything derelict ship. Thanks worthabuy guy.
hey worth a buy are you going to do a 7 days to die updated review, since it moved over to unity 5 with ALOT of new features :)
Lol gotta love the bell and stream was fun :)
An instant classic review in my book.
welcome back Mack!
Thanks for the review, mack. Another game on the shit list.

So glad Mack is back to kick the shit out of all these shit games.
So Mack, was your vacation worth a buy?
He's back!
The screen on the gun says 69 at 5:40 ;)
i feel the same way mac, that's why i follow you. hell, i might as well get into the video game industry too. pump these out every couple months. but that is the problem, steam has made it so anyone can.

The bell makes me laugh all the time
Thanks for this hidden gem Mack
Missed you Mack!!!
I don't know which I prefer more, the bell, or "It's wank!" :P
I missed you mack!
Anyone know macks batlle net id?
Yes Mack your back
Mack should sing some more :D
If they release a "fix it" patch and drop it down to 5$ (Steam sale) then I will probably get it. I like FPS.
You are so wasted here. You should be in politics or law lol. Id back you and vote. Straight talking and comedy gold. Can listen all day.
My Way HAHAHAHAHAAH!
Mack You sing beautifully M8 don't listen to what your neighbors says!
You should do a video on RimWorld.
I'd watch American Idol if he sang on it that was awesome !!
Mack, try I Am Bread. You guessed it, it's a bread simulator.
finaly he is back
No sound options, Jesus
"It looks shit". Yeah, I think you made that clear enough :D
After 25 mins people were begging me to turn it off. (Haha)........... I still want it though, even if it's just to get it off my wishlist. (Lack of changeable options though is enough to make me think twice. Plus I hate it when games don't give the feeling of doing damage.)
I am sorry, Mack, for I have sinned. I pre-ordered GTA V.
Yea I did as well, until I cancelled my pre order thankfully :)
***** wat dat doesetn make senses gta 5 is out u must mean gta 911
***** wait, I did too... should I not have? D:
XXXmicSpamxxx XXX PC's
***** Don't you mean Origin?
Mac you gotta do a cover of Katy Perry's "Firework"
I honestly think many of the reviews for these games are either from family/friends and/or people bribed by the devs in some way (a free copy, actual money to review, sexual favours, etc...).
Have you ever broke the bell?
you still need to revisit a lot of games.
*WASH CARS? CLEAN WINDOWS?*
Come on Mack - that was unnecessarily harsh.
If someone knows programming and they make a game - and you think that the game is not good enough, then you could at least say to program something else - besides a game - not to go and wash cars. Just a software designer's point of view.
Vallen Davis ofc it was harsh, a bit like the price of all these early access games.
Worth A Buy WHERES THE 7 DAYS TO DIE ALPHA 11?!!?!? I NEED YOU TO DO A WORTh a buy pleazzz!! i have waited weeks!!!
Vallen Davis Don't shit on somebody's shoe for $10.99 then cry when they say they don't like it.
Vallen Davis When one person makes an entire game with skills across every aspect of its development, I am sure I could get get a better job at washing windows but it wont be as self rewarding as saying I did that :) I take words like those with a pinch of salt or I would have quit 2 years ago LOL
Worth A BuyYes, do a 7 days to die alpha 11!!!
he is back hell yeah
.... ... But I like your singing.
Welcome back Mack. Not the best coming home present this was it? My advice...Hook up your Occulus and log back in to Elite: Dangerous to get the bad taste of this out of your system.
Mack try X factor, they will let you on that!!
