    The reviewers who hated it for the jokes were right, and the reviewers who loved it for the jokes were also correct. Looking at it through streams, the style of comedy on display here is imo borderline torture to listen to lol, but for people who are into that sort of comedy, the game is probably pretty awesome. Thanks to Gamepass, it's at least cheap and easy to check out

      I feel like it's very hard to give this game a non-biased review since all the fun kinda revolves around the comedy. I personally love the game for it's comedy yet if you don't it's totally fine and can understand how hard it can be to play it through.

    I was surprisingly really invested in the story of this game by the end. It has a lot more depth than I thought it would and there were plenty of moments that had me laughing so hard. The worlds are also beautiful and my favorite part was exploring these worlds to find hidden areas and chests. You even need to come back to older levels after you unlock new abilities to get everything. I think this game has a ton of charm and was a blast to play and that's coming from someone who never would've purchased this game if it wasn't on gamepass. I'm excited for a sequel!

    I really liked playing through this game, but my biggest complaint is there isn’t a lot of incentives for playing with different guns. They have cool different abilities, but I found myself mostly sticking to Kenny or Creature, aside from environmental puzzles that required different guns. Made it feel like Gus and Sweezy were barely part of the game. I would’ve liked to hear the other guns talk more even if I’m not using them, especially in dialogue scenarios.

    • @SamuelCatsy
      @SamuelCatsy ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Gus' disc is great early on but his shotgun blast is doodoo. The problem is using the disc bounceback mechanic makes you stand still too much so you get lit up later in the game when there's dozens of enemies at once. You're better off blind firing a bunch of creature babies, using a sweezy timebubble to slow down the melee guys trying to crawl up your butt, then using Kenny.

      Actually this isn't true at least on the highest difficulty. Try comboing trick shots using the timestop it just melts through groups of enemies.

    Honestly what hooked me was your sister's opening dialogue in the intro. She decends into typical teenage girl talk madness, continuing to drone on and on for what felt like 4 hours without actually saying anything. I honestly went crosseyed then started to daydream while pretending to half-ass pay attention while she kept babbling on. She was definitely grating as you said, but it was in a weirdly good way. I actually felt like I time traveled about 20 years and was back in high school pretending to listen to your girlfriend. Some writer(s) actually wrote teen dialogue and it sounded real, and not like some moronic clueless Hollywood writer in his 50s wrote it. So after listening to her and feeling like searching for the nearest window to jump out of instead just so you don't have to listen to one more second of your sister talk, I was hooked. I thought if they can nail this that well, let's see where else this goes. That and getting a full-length commentary track of RedLetterMedia doing a MST3K homage in a theatre was well worth admission price, even if admission price was Gamepass subscription.

Pretty impressive first step into this genre and I cant wait to see what they have next

    had a blast, great progression, felt rewarded after every boss battle with the new guns and equipment. humor was hilarious. felt ad-libed and authentic. gunplay felt good the movement system is awesome especially when you get the slide and jetpack. story was really engaging. characters had depth. and the guns were so cool. Easter eggs and side missions are really cool there's a lot of hidden things all throughout the game that also keep you wanting to play more. only gripe I had was that it would get boring fighting the same enemies at times. like most of the people you kill are just the yellow bums its almost too easy. overall id rate it a 8.3/10 super fun game lost points for the repetitive combat just killing the same enemies over and over until you reach the boss. id definitely check it out if you have game pass. tbh the game is kinda short and for that reason alone I don't believe it should be 60 bucks. 30 would be a fair price point cuz the main quest is only like 10 hours long.

    All the over the top Rock and Morty worshipers vs regular people. That's what's so polarizing. The fan base has more loyalty than the Mason girls did for Charley. They could take a crap, sign it, and SOMEONE of these troglodytes would buy it for a few grand. It's zealotry. I like Rick and Morty as well but damn.

    I feel like this game is almost a modern Boogerman. The crudeness and even grotesque nature. This was much more defined and I would love to see a sequel.

    This is the problem with game reviewers and game journalists these days, when an amazing Triple A game comes out and does something good, the bar for game design gets pushes higher and higher so when those reviewers play a lesser game that does the same thing it comes across as "lackluster" or "repetitive", like any game that has grappling hooks now cus of doom eternal is just an "imitation" to them not an innovation.

    I have no evidence of this, but I truly believe deep down, that reviewers said they didn’t like the humor because most reviewers didn’t want people to think they could be entertained by toilet humor.
    Especially after they all gushed about the emotional writing and acting in God of War Ragnarok.
    Again, I have no evidence of this. It just ‘feels’ like they didn’t want readers to believe they could like deep emotional content in one game and a poop joke in another.

    I loved the game. Great addition to gamepass. My suggestions for the sequel:
    1. A save feature rather than relying on auto save. Since it would be useful to save at some key moments and load the game back up again (if needed). When I was in the saloon for the duel, I lost but then all the characters inside the saloon ended up randomly dying?
    2. A map design similar to jedi fallen order. So it doesn’t impact on the HUD and even the guns could joke about how often you keep stopping or spending looking at the map.
    3. A feature like Arkham city which highlights where a chest is so you can return to it later. Since you can find a lot while exploring but they are not accessible since you haven’t unlocked the relevant gun. And then trying to recreate your steps can be difficult.
    4. The soundtrack- keep that team. The soundtrack when exploring is so so good.

    The guy that made the video said to comment for the devs, so that's what I'm doing.
    You don't have to make a good game, but if you're going to try, then you could definitely try harder. Personally, I think the only reason the game is polarizing is because you already have an audience that likes your show and your humor. If you didn't have that, then this game would probably just be bad or ok instead of polarizing.
    For me, I had a hard time connecting with the characters and the game itself because I'm not a kid, and I need more than just mad jokes every couple minutes. The combat could use a lot of work, and the game play itself could use some more work.
    Personally, I will not be there for the sequel. I didn't hate the game but it was extremely lackluster for something that I really wanted to be good and had hope for.
    If you decide to make a more serious game that maybe requires some strategy and keep your humor, then I will be there for that. You didn't make a bad game here, but you didn't make a good game either.
    (Bonus) I really did like the knife. Something about a sadistic weapon made to stab people just hits right with me and I liked the accent as well. That knife is what held it together for me.

    the humor is so repetitive and it doesn't even have a good gameplay loop to justify it. i can appreciate what they were trying to do, but i didn't realize how annoying the rick and morty humor could get when it wasn't in 15 min episodes that i had a break in between for. like they genuinely made you sit through playable cut scenes before you could get to the next area because they were that confident that they were being funny but really you're just sitting there with no skip button, being forced to sit in the main house while 2 characters have whole ass conversations. it was definitely new and different, but in my opinion, not in a way that worked. happy for anyone who enjoyed it though, as im kinda jealous and really wanted to cause i love rick and morty and loved the idea of a game with the same feel to it.

    Never have I recommend a game enough based purely on it's comedy. I love this style of comedy because it's not depressing. Though I didn't laugh much during my playthrough. Because the type of humor is how me and my friends talk normally to eachother on the daily. But it was still a fun playthrough. For me it's a one and done. Maybe I'll come back in 10 years and do it again. If you're that type of gamer then give it a chance. You'll know within the first hour or even half hour if you'll enjoy it.
