It's funny to think there was discourse about how the devs wanted to downplay the gunfights in the game, because in the movies even though he carries a gun regularly, he uses it very little throughout the series, because ultimately he's not a gunslinger or a marksman, it's just another tool of his
He supposedly have done WWI (youg indiana jone chronicles), most of the time in the movies he just lack of ammo, then he uses his whip to disarm oponent. Everybody kind of forget in the Himalaya tavern there's a big gunfight. In raiders Marion just explode a full truck of nazi with plane machine gun. I personally think a little bit more of gunfights could have add little bit of roughness. In Temple of doom there's also bloody death even in fist fights. Defeat a full army of nazis with your fist and your reporter friend looks a little bit off but whatever that seem to be a decent game fore sure but probably could have been far more fun.
@@thomaslacornette1282 I think they got it right to be honest. The gun is a last resort, and there’s far too many FPS games nowadays. Plus it’s realistic, enemies will gun you down in seconds if the situation escalates, and your revolver pretty much 1-shots enemies. I’ve been taking the game slowly, and I’m halfway through the pyramids section, and only used my gun once.
@fxg4merr for sure, Indiana Jones magdumping every enemy instead of using his whip or fighting would just be out of character too 😂 I can't really say I remember him using too many in the movies
Remember, those comparing this game to Uncharted or Tomb Raider, or criticizing the gameplay, likely haven't seen the original movies. Indiana Jones never had the extreme movements of Drake or Lara, and the action sequences in the films aren't as over-the-top as those games. MachineGames and Bethesda are staying true to the character and world.
First off being able to play as Indiana jones picking up random things and beating people with them is great. And also knocking people out like you're holding dumbells feels amazing. AND the game actually capturing the charm of the movies is so refreshing. it's rare for a movie-game adaptation to stay faithful to the source material and keep the esthetic and key beats of the story. Also Troy Baker nails the voice and inflections of the character. Seems the developers actually cared about their game and have love and respect for indiana jones. And it shows, I hope they also get the props and respect they deserve for making a game that isn't just an obvious cashgrab
Troy Baker did a really great job. I remember being surprised by him in the trailer with how close he got to the original. I thought they got an AI voice to do it at first 😂

I see the comment above about AI but honestly it's not like it's broken, I've seen a lot of dodges from AI that are accurate, he died quite a few times which makes me feel like it's a pretty fair fight, only gripe is the vision of the enemies which I imagine can be fixed through patches shortly. I bet by the time it drops on PS5 and they work out minor issues, it hits either an 89 or 90 Metacritic. Such a shame it can't be considered Game of the Year contender, especially for Troy Baker's performance.

I'm 6 hours in already and I've got to say this is easily one of the best games of the year in a year FULL of banger good games. It is NOT Uncharted or Tomb Raider, and it was never meant to be, but playing it feels like you are 100% in a classic Indiana Jones movie that, so far in regards to narrative and performance, is on par with the original films, which is really saying something. I was highly sceptical of Troy Baker as Indy when it was first announced, nothing against the guy, he's actually one of my favorite actors, but he's cast so often and his voice is so recognisable I usually find it hard for my brain to separate Troy out from whatever character he's performing, but boy howdy that is NOT the case here. Troy KILLS it as Indy, he sounds 1-for-1 with Harrison Ford a vast majority of the time, he's got everything from the voice to the cadence of Harrison's speech down perfectly, and that in combination with the STUNNING character model in the cutscenes, you really lose track of the fact you're actually playing a video game and not watching a movie, which is incredible. The gameplay is also a fresh change of pace from the usual action/adventure tone and it also completely fits the character. The story, ambience, music, and setting is what really shines in an Indiana Jones movie, and the gameplay does a perfect job of complimenting that without distracting from the overall tone of the experience or the abilities of the original character. Indiana is a force to be reckoned with, but he's no one man army. He doesn't get into massive gunfights with small armies on a constant basis and he doesn't perform impossible acrobatics up crumbling cliff sides with cat-like reflexes. He's Indy. He feels weighty, strong but not always the most agile or the quickest, he can climb but only so long without getting tired, and he can easily get overwhelmed if he puts himself in a situation where he's surrounded. He almost feels like a REAL guy as opposed to an invulnerable video game character, which Indy felt like in the movies. That might sound disappointing to some, and if a fast paced shoot 'em up with explosive and elaborate set pieces is what you're looking for then The Great Circle is NOT for you... but if you're looking for a slower paced, methodical puzzle/stealth/beat 'em up with a Film Noir flair that pays passionate homage to its source material, this is perfect for you. That said, I realise this game is probably mostly for Gen X and millennials, and if you're not I can totally understand why this wouldn't be your cup of tea. If you use to play a lot of FPS shooters back in the day and you're a REAL fan of the original Indy trilogy, this was basically made for you, but I can totally see how it may feel a bit too slow paced for the younger gamers.
Yeah and when he does fight it’s usually sloppy. He’s got no real defined fighting style, he’s just a scrappy brawler. Another thing I like about Indy is he’ll do anything to win. He’s not above cheap shotting his opponent if it means he’ll get out alive. If I recall he’s thrown dirt in people’s eyes before and kicked them in the nuts when he was outmatched.
@@docproc144 yup, in the first movie there's an enemy swordsman that comes out to fight him and it's apparent he's really skilled with it while twirling it around etc. And Indy just says fuk this, pulls out his gun and shoots him. Also a little bit later they r fighting around an airplane to escape. There's a huge muscular brute enemy. Indy's punches have little to almost no effect so he essentially just gets the guy into position to get hit by the propeller blades cuz otherwise he wouldnt win
@@NaruBrilu fuck this and pulling gun indy, was only done because ford had the flu and was sick as but they still needed to shot the scene so him saying fuk this was how he felt being sick and just shot him instead of the big fight they where meant to have. peak cinema as an outcome though
This might be one of the first movie-themed games where I actually felt like the protagonist. Similar to Chronicles of Riddick (I heard some of the people on that team worked on this). Those punch sounds are crazy, the graphics are absolutely nuts, I played it on the Series X and it’s shocking how it maintains 60fps throughout, no stutters at all. Did experience stuttering audio at one point, and a game breaking bug during one of the “trials” that forced me to reload my save.
I got it playing great on my laptop at low to med settings for graphics and it still looks good. Plays perfectly with no stutters etc. Got a RTX 4050, 8gb VRam build on to it. It said I7 processor but I got an I5 and it seems good.
For anyone who hasn’t seen the Indiana Jones films, I highly recommend watching them to anyone who’s even remotely interested. The first three are some of the greatest adventure films of all time. Raiders is an absolute classic, Temple of Doom is a little different thematically but it was always my Dad’s favorite, and Last Crusade is my personal favorite because of the dynamic between Indy and his dad. They’re just fun movies. Great action, great music, great stunts and set pieces, great humor, great characters, romance, everything you could want in an adventure movie.
This Game stays true to what made the original movies great. Bethesda actually gave us a good game this year. Elder scrolls 6 better have this level of detail.
Unfortunately I wouldn't set your expectations that high. I love Skyrim to bits, no other game scratches that same itch in terms of exploration storytelling, moddability, etc. for me except BGS games but they certainly pay for it in so many other categories. They'll probably never make a perfect or even fully polished game; just have to know what to expect.
As a lover of Indiana jones since I was a little kid I am unbelievably happy that this turned out good, now I’m playing it on game pass and even just that beginning playing through the first movie’s first scene is a childhood dream come true, it feels like an old Indiana jones film, I liked the modern movies but this has so much nostalgia and excitement brought right back, I used to love the older games but now after so long getting to really feel like you’re IN another movie is so so fun, I was going to buy it anyways, but the fact it’s good against all odds is exactly what I hoped it’d be, the soundtrack, the voice, the way it plays, it’s exactly what I needed rn, because my childhood memories are coming true for the first time
6:03 this is why most people in movies or games tend to pull the unconscious person to the ground instead of just letting them fall. kind of makes a sneak attack pointless if the body creates the human equivalent of the metal pipe SFX.
I’m so excited I’ve been playing it non stop on Xbox , it’s a series that I have loved since I was a kid when I saw it for the first time and this is what made me choose the career path I’m on now with my history degree and simply being able to play and explore is pure entertainment and joy
I was actually impressed how well they were able to emulate the feeling and aesthetic of the original films within the game. Everything from the music down to the sound effects sounds like it could be from one of the movies. To me if you’re gonna try and make a game based around an already established film property, especially a beloved one like Indiana Jones, then this is how it should be done. You can tell a lot of time and dedication went into getting it right.
I never have had somebody with such a similar “Indiana jones history” as Charlie I also used to watch it with my family a lot when I was younger and was also terrified of the rapidly aging guy.
Same. Always shut my eyes on that part! The hair growing fast on the back of his head and then the face shot with the bugged out eyes.. But its my fave movie of all time! 😅
RIP Tony Todd. A horror legend. The fact he began lending his face and voice for gaming in his last couple years is awesome. Forever immortalized as Venom in PS Spiderman 2 and now this Indiana Jones character. Shame we lost him a little literally early.
This is such a video game-ass video game and I love it. It’s campy, it’s goofy while still taking itself seriously, it’s fun, it knows when to slow down and when to speed up, it’s just so good.
playing this was the first time ive played a game for 5 hour straight in 10 years. It's right up my alley and I absolutely love it. Good graphics (have spent half my time in the Vatican just looking at the paintings, marble sculptures), exploration-focused, lots of puzzle-solving, and i grew up with the movies so it also has a nostalgia factor going for it. hope anyone reading this has a merry Christmas and happy new year, also I love you
@@kiloimurged3966it’s been a lot of fun so far! Not some ADHD clusterfuck, button mashing game but a faithful imagining of an iconic IP with engaging gameplay.
Honestly the way the skill books are collected and unlocked are genuinely genius. To get skill books, you have to explore, to get skill points you have to explore, to get bonus you listen to dialogue of NPCs and you can find items for them and they will reward you! It’s genuinely one of the best ways to do this. Side quests are also fully animated and tie into the story. Everything in this game is so well crafted that I forgot this was a Bethesda game.
Honestly in any other game the "How could you not see me? How did you not hear that?" moments would annoy me but it's so fitting for Indy that I just chuckle.
I love the fighting in this game. I love how messy and chaotic it is. It’s exactly how Indy fights. With a lot of action heroes and in games like this, the main character usually has some technique or fighting style they depend on to take down their opponents, but not Indiana Jones. Usually when Indy fights there’s no rhythm to it, he’s just a scrappy brawler. He’ll use his environment and whatever’s around him to gain the upper hand in a fight. He’s not worried about honor, he’s simply worried about walking away alive. He’s not above cheap shotting someone to gain the advantage. He’s thrown dirt in people’s eyes before and kicked them in the nuts. That’s why I’ve always liked Indiana Jones and found him to be a relatable hero. Cause at the end of the day, he’s a professor and an archaeologist. His brains have always been his strongest attribute, not his brawn. More often than not he’s outnumbered and outmatched and has to rely on his wits to get him out of most situations. For example, in Temple of Doom on the bridge he was surrounded on both sides. So what does Indy do? He waits for them to come closer and then cuts the rope holding the bridge together.
Remember, do NOT credit Bethesda for this. MachineGames, the masterminds behind the Wolfenstein reboot series, collaboration with Doom 2016 alongside ID Software, Deathloop collaboration and Skyrim collaboration, are who made this game. Theyve been around the bend for some great games and people tend to forget about them over ID Software and Bethesdas Studio. Theyve had a hand in some of Bethesdas most iconic and successful titles in their catalogue.
The game wouldn't exist if not for Bethesda, or it would be another soulless EA cashgrab. Let's not forget the fact that Machine games Chief devs have consistently praised the support from Bethesda, and Todd Howard's direct involvement in this game. I personally despise a lot of the greedy and dissapointing actions the company has taken over recent years, but this mindless brigading at any opportunity isn't helpful, smart or even meritous. It's just as unhealthy and gross as the constant brigading from the mentally unwell "culture war" obsessives. Wanting better from the industry is all well and good, but it shines hollow and petty when you make a statement like this out of spite, especially when you seem to have a history of blindly supporting Bungie and Destiny, despite their blatant anti-consumer practices in recent years.
Man I'm having such a good time exploring and solving the mysteries. The different areas of the game are all gorgeous and fun to walk around and collect stuff
@ a fully edited video of the gameplay he had just streamed, not even a full hour after hitting end stream was able to post that yeah that’s pretty wild
the games looks great visually & has some good fun mechanics so im not surprised. sometimes you move slower than expected but I think thats so Harrison Ford can play too & not get motion sickness but fr looks fun
I was always hyped for this game. Indiana Jones is one of my favorite movie series. Part mystery, part action, part historical fiction. Glad this studio hit the nail on the head
Indiana Jones is not just suprisingly fun, but suprisingly true to the legacy of the original movies. I didn't realize how much I missed the old Indy until I've seen the gameplay...
2:53 lmao I love that even here they use the audio of Harrison Ford saying the wrong name and the subtitles saying the right one. “Adios sapito “ vs “Adios Satipo”
Saw this on steam just 2 days ago, my first thought since I wasn’t planning on buying it just yet was “I hope Moist is gonna do a play through.” Thank you for answering my prayers wet man.
Finally, a regular ol' good game. I appreciate these kinda games. It's not a GOTY but it's also not Star Wars Outlaws. It's just.. a good ol' fun game.
@@reaIixx Star Wars Outlaws is a regular 7/10. It's not bad, it's not as polished as it could be, but it's not great like an 8 or above either. It's in the same league as Tom Clancy's The Division. They're both generic Ubisoft games. It gets a lot of criticism (it deserves a lot of it too) but it's definitely not below a 5/10.
Played this game with no expectations for the first time earlier. Didn’t stop for 5 hours, was sucked in and felt like I was watching the movies again for the first time. The level of detail is astounding and it’s the PERFECT amount of camp
God I hope more and more banger movies such as The Godfather, Scarface, Reservoir Dogs, The Warriors, Terminator get recreated in videogames with this level of graphics and dedication! This Indiana Jones game is super amazing and fun!!!
They really did nail what Indiana Jones is in this game. It really takes its cues from the movies and I love it so much I've been having a blast The comedic timing is always perfect as well
It feels like an OG game, like how i remember games feeling like years ago, they could have just done a crappy first person shooter, linear story game, based on indiana jones, but its so much more, its got mystery and that excitement of the unknown, around every corner And its got the most realistic fighting ive ever seen in a game, giving a Nazi a couple punches and watching him slowly drift into unconsciousness as he throws his last punch, then falls over Its a bit clunky in parts, but it doesnt ruin it at all, really didnt expect it to be as good as it is
This game has blasted me straight back to my childhood. I haven’t been this invested in a singleplayer game since maybe Red Dead2, and even in that game I wasn’t picking up every single thing, reading it, doing every side quest I possibly can. The Great Circle is fantastic. I even found a mushroom soup recipe in the Vatican mission that my grandma wants to make 😂
Don’t know if you’re still playing this game but you for combat you can charge your left hand for an uppercut and right hand for a jab. You also need to use your other hand to hand a free punch if you parry. Like if you parry a with your right you can hit with your left. I noticed you favored spamming the right hand so you kept pushing them away. You also can grab using r1 after you counter to land a few free hits. Last tip is the whip can pull them in for a grab if you aim for the body, the legs trips them, and hitting them disarms them. You have to hold the whip button to do the trip and the grab.
0:59 fun fact, Indiana Jones is not the reason why PG-13 exist at all. It’s actually gremlins see the movie was too hard-core to be PG but it wasn’t hard-core enough to be rated R so they made PG-13 and it’s been used ever since
People were saying the game looks stupid after the reveal of that scene on the mountain base but I just looked at it and went "Holy fucking shit this exactly what an Indiana Jones fight scene looked like" and I had my hopes up that the rest of the game would just be a "play through an Indy movie" adventure and I'm so glad that's exactly what it is.

Troy KILLS it as Indy, he sounds 1-for-1 with Harrison Ford a vast majority of the time, he's got everything from the voice to the cadence of Harrison's speech down perfectly, and that in combination with the STUNNING character model in the cutscenes, you really lose track of the fact you're actually playing a video game and not watching a movie, which is incredible.
The gameplay is also a fresh change of pace from the usual action/adventure tone and it also completely fits the character. The story, ambience, music, and setting is what really shines in an Indiana Jones movie, and the gameplay does a perfect job of complimenting that without distracting from the overall tone of the experience or the abilities of the original character.
Indiana is a force to be reckoned with, but he's no one man army. He doesn't get into massive gunfights with small armies on a constant basis and he doesn't perform impossible acrobatics up crumbling cliff sides with cat-like reflexes. He's Indy. He feels weighty, strong but not always the most agile or the quickest, he can climb but only so long without getting tired, and he can easily get overwhelmed if he puts himself in a situation where he's surrounded. He almost feels like a REAL guy as opposed to an invulnerable video game character, which Indy felt like in the movies.
That might sound disappointing to some, and if a fast paced shoot 'em up with explosive and elaborate set pieces is what you're looking for then The Great Circle is NOT for you... but if you're looking for a slower paced, methodical puzzle/stealth/beat 'em up with a Film Noir flair that pays passionate homage to its source material, this is perfect for you.
That said, I realise this game is probably mostly for Gen X and millennials, and if you're not I can totally understand why this wouldn't be your cup of tea. If you use to play a lot of FPS shooters back in the day and you're a REAL fan of the original Indy trilogy, this was basically made for you, but I can totally see how it may feel a bit too slow paced for the younger gamers.
Thanks phantom!
I'm gen z and I'd like to play the game lol
5:51 is unironically something Indy would do
Funny to think he does something similar in a cut scene with Voss and his henchmen in the desert
Running is Indiana Jones superpower. I realise in the movies he only fights if it is absolutely necessary.
Yeah and when he does fight it’s usually sloppy. He’s got no real defined fighting style, he’s just a scrappy brawler. Another thing I like about Indy is he’ll do anything to win. He’s not above cheap shotting his opponent if it means he’ll get out alive. If I recall he’s thrown dirt in people’s eyes before and kicked them in the nuts when he was outmatched.
@@docproc144 yup, in the first movie there's an enemy swordsman that comes out to fight him and it's apparent he's really skilled with it while twirling it around etc. And Indy just says fuk this, pulls out his gun and shoots him. Also a little bit later they r fighting around an airplane to escape. There's a huge muscular brute enemy. Indy's punches have little to almost no effect so he essentially just gets the guy into position to get hit by the propeller blades cuz otherwise he wouldnt win
@@NaruBrilu fuck this and pulling gun indy, was only done because ford had the flu and was sick as but they still needed to shot the scene so him saying fuk this was how he felt being sick and just shot him instead of the big fight they where meant to have. peak cinema as an outcome though
@NaruBrilu Obligatory "Harrison Ford was sick during that scene so he asked to just shoot him"
@@DylanVA oh fair enough i didn't know that. Still a cool scene where he outsmarted him rather than going toe to toe
This might be one of the first movie-themed games where I actually felt like the protagonist. Similar to Chronicles of Riddick (I heard some of the people on that team worked on this). Those punch sounds are crazy, the graphics are absolutely nuts, I played it on the Series X and it’s shocking how it maintains 60fps throughout, no stutters at all. Did experience stuttering audio at one point, and a game breaking bug during one of the “trials” that forced me to reload my save.
Starbreeze(who made Riddick:Escape From Butcher bay), basically became Machinegun Games.
Series X is SHOCKINGLY stable in its visuals. It’s so good.
The Riddick games awesome as a kid!
Only problem I’ve run into is one invisible nun
I got it playing great on my laptop at low to med settings for graphics and it still looks good. Plays perfectly with no stutters etc. Got a RTX 4050, 8gb VRam build on to it. It said I7 processor but I got an I5 and it seems good.
I’m a huge Indiana jones fan and I am so happy to see how good it’s doing!! Can’t wait to play it!!

Same!!
@@prexzahsame as well my favourite was the last crusade
Game is great but nothing beats the OG Lego Indiana jones
For anyone who hasn’t seen the Indiana Jones films, I highly recommend watching them to anyone who’s even remotely interested. The first three are some of the greatest adventure films of all time. Raiders is an absolute classic, Temple of Doom is a little different thematically but it was always my Dad’s favorite, and Last Crusade is my personal favorite because of the dynamic between Indy and his dad. They’re just fun movies. Great action, great music, great stunts and set pieces, great humor, great characters, romance, everything you could want in an adventure movie.
I love how each punch sounds like a thunder clap
It’s freaking great. That’s exactly how they sounded in the movies if you go back and watch.

This Game stays true to what made the original movies great. Bethesda actually gave us a good game this year. Elder scrolls 6 better have this level of detail.
It wasn't the Bethesda team that made this. It was another studios work.
Bethesda didn't make the game. Machine Games and Todd Howard did
Only one from Bethesda who worked on it was Todd Howard
Unfortunately I wouldn't set your expectations that high. I love Skyrim to bits, no other game scratches that same itch in terms of exploration storytelling, moddability, etc. for me except BGS games but they certainly pay for it in so many other categories. They'll probably never make a perfect or even fully polished game; just have to know what to expect.
How would elder scrolls 6 be worse than this?
@@applejones5576if it wasn't for bethesda, this would have been a lazy EA cashgrab.
As a lover of Indiana jones since I was a little kid I am unbelievably happy that this turned out good, now I’m playing it on game pass and even just that beginning playing through the first movie’s first scene is a childhood dream come true, it feels like an old Indiana jones film, I liked the modern movies but this has so much nostalgia and excitement brought right back, I used to love the older games but now after so long getting to really feel like you’re IN another movie is so so fun, I was going to buy it anyways, but the fact it’s good against all odds is exactly what I hoped it’d be, the soundtrack, the voice, the way it plays, it’s exactly what I needed rn, because my childhood memories are coming true for the first time
6:03 this is why most people in movies or games tend to pull the unconscious person to the ground instead of just letting them fall. kind of makes a sneak attack pointless if the body creates the human equivalent of the metal pipe SFX.
The gameplay is just how Charlie acts in real life

I was actually impressed how well they were able to emulate the feeling and aesthetic of the original films within the game. Everything from the music down to the sound effects sounds like it could be from one of the movies. To me if you’re gonna try and make a game based around an already established film property, especially a beloved one like Indiana Jones, then this is how it should be done. You can tell a lot of time and dedication went into getting it right.
I never have had somebody with such a similar “Indiana jones history” as Charlie I also used to watch it with my family a lot when I was younger and was also terrified of the rapidly aging guy.
Same. Always shut my eyes on that part!

This is such a video game-ass video game and I love it. It’s campy, it’s goofy while still taking itself seriously, it’s fun, it knows when to slow down and when to speed up, it’s just so good.
playing this was the first time ive played a game for 5 hour straight in 10 years. It's right up my alley and I absolutely love it. Good graphics (have spent half my time in the Vatican just looking at the paintings, marble sculptures), exploration-focused, lots of puzzle-solving, and i grew up with the movies so it also has a nostalgia factor going for it. hope anyone reading this has a merry Christmas and happy new year, also I love you
Dammmnnnn the graphics are slick

Honestly the way the skill books are collected and unlocked are genuinely genius. To get skill books, you have to explore, to get skill points you have to explore, to get bonus you listen to dialogue of NPCs and you can find items for them and they will reward you! It’s genuinely one of the best ways to do this. Side quests are also fully animated and tie into the story. Everything in this game is so well crafted that I forgot this was a Bethesda game.
Honestly in any other game the "How could you not see me? How did you not hear that?" moments would annoy me but it's so fitting for Indy that I just chuckle.

I love the fighting in this game. I love how messy and chaotic it is. It’s exactly how Indy fights. With a lot of action heroes and in games like this, the main character usually has some technique or fighting style they depend on to take down their opponents, but not Indiana Jones. Usually when Indy fights there’s no rhythm to it, he’s just a scrappy brawler. He’ll use his environment and whatever’s around him to gain the upper hand in a fight. He’s not worried about honor, he’s simply worried about walking away alive. He’s not above cheap shotting someone to gain the advantage. He’s thrown dirt in people’s eyes before and kicked them in the nuts. That’s why I’ve always liked Indiana Jones and found him to be a relatable hero. Cause at the end of the day, he’s a professor and an archaeologist. His brains have always been his strongest attribute, not his brawn. More often than not he’s outnumbered and outmatched and has to rely on his wits to get him out of most situations. For example, in Temple of Doom on the bridge he was surrounded on both sides. So what does Indy do? He waits for them to come closer and then cuts the rope holding the bridge together.
Still playing it right now. I love hitting bad guys 😂😂😂 and those damn puzzles!
I should be sleep but playing Indiana
Remember, do NOT credit Bethesda for this. MachineGames, the masterminds behind the Wolfenstein reboot series, collaboration with Doom 2016 alongside ID Software, Deathloop collaboration and Skyrim collaboration, are who made this game. Theyve been around the bend for some great games and people tend to forget about them over ID Software and Bethesdas Studio. Theyve had a hand in some of Bethesdas most iconic and successful titles in their catalogue.
The game wouldn't exist if not for Bethesda, or it would be another soulless EA cashgrab.
Let's not forget the fact that Machine games Chief devs have consistently praised the support from Bethesda, and Todd Howard's direct involvement in this game.
I personally despise a lot of the greedy and dissapointing actions the company has taken over recent years, but this mindless brigading at any opportunity isn't helpful, smart or even meritous.
It's just as unhealthy and gross as the constant brigading from the mentally unwell "culture war" obsessives.
Wanting better from the industry is all well and good, but it shines hollow and petty when you make a statement like this out of spite, especially when you seem to have a history of blindly supporting Bungie and Destiny, despite their blatant anti-consumer practices in recent years.

Todd was executive producer though
Eh, Todd Howard pitched the story and concept of this game to LucasFilm and got the greenlight to do so. He wanted MachineGames to develop the title.

It feels like an OG game, like how i remember games feeling like years ago, they could have just done a crappy first person shooter, linear story game, based on indiana jones, but its so much more, its got mystery and that excitement of the unknown, around every corner
And its got the most realistic fighting ive ever seen in a game, giving a Nazi a couple punches and watching him slowly drift into unconsciousness as he throws his last punch, then falls over
Its a bit clunky in parts, but it doesnt ruin it at all, really didnt expect it to be as good as it is

This game has blasted me straight back to my childhood. I haven’t been this invested in a singleplayer game since maybe Red Dead2, and even in that game I wasn’t picking up every single thing, reading it, doing every side quest I possibly can. The Great Circle is fantastic. I even found a mushroom soup recipe in the Vatican mission that my grandma wants to make 😂
ID and machine games carrying all of Bethesda on their back
Don’t know if you’re still playing this game but you for combat you can charge your left hand for an uppercut and right hand for a jab. You also need to use your other hand to hand a free punch if you parry. Like if you parry a with your right you can hit with your left. I noticed you favored spamming the right hand so you kept pushing them away. You also can grab using r1 after you counter to land a few free hits. Last tip is the whip can pull them in for a grab if you aim for the body, the legs trips them, and hitting them disarms them. You have to hold the whip button to do the trip and the grab.
0:59 fun fact, Indiana Jones is not the reason why PG-13 exist at all. It’s actually gremlins see the movie was too hard-core to be PG but it wasn’t hard-core enough to be rated R so they made PG-13 and it’s been used ever since
Weren’t they both the reason for PG-13?
These ratings didn't stop any kid to watch em in the end.
