I love this game. Reminds me of old school games where it's just wacky fun gameplay instead of movie-esque or competitive or ubisoft-like games that are so frequent nowadays
Ubisoft also HAD those kind of gameplay.
@@morkgin2459 yeah, that's in the past now
Reminds me of rachet and clank lol
It reminds me of Duke nukem and rachet and clank but a lot better and fun doesn't take itself seriously and the fact that it's open world is even better makes the game feel alive and immersive
Dead space better.
They describe it as “blade runner meets muppets” and that’s something I can really get behind.
and a little bit of Team America meets Garbage Pail Kids
You can't be serious
@@lespicymaltod537 Lol of course not...THIS GAME IS NOT SERIOUS
As someone who hasn’t watched a single moment of Rick and Morty, I’m thoroughly enjoying this game. I’m glad it’s so whacky because so many major releases are generic cookie cutter shooters. At least this, and Pentiment is another example, are trying whackadoodle ideas to expand the medium. A few performance issues on my XSX but other than that it’s… oddly engaging.
Same boat here 👍🏼
As someone who has watched a bit of R&M, i can't stand Morty's voice anymore
patch is out
Same
@@kubeanie18 oh yea? Im on east coast, been waiting. Thnx for heads up
This game feels like it came out too late in the overall popularity sphere of Rick and Morty. It would have killed if it came out during Rick and Morty seasons 1-3.
Absolutely
Development takes time dude, you can't just make a good game in short few years
Plus it's highly rated anyway
Rick and morty is still good
@@MohsenTheKnight21 not really, after season 3 it went down hill bad, season 5 is meh
@@InternalxHD yeah but you should watch season 6 it's pretty good they brought alot of good ideas on the table for the show
This game is fucking awesome haha. Loving it so far.
Ikr
Downloaded it but busy playing BF2024 but just before I went to bed I gave it a go.
Being drunk and stoned this game was amazing. It’s like the perfect game to unwind after playing so many hours on BF.
The Microsoft game pass has literally given me two of the best games I have played back to back
@@sko1beer considering 2042 has completely broken controller input and forced crossplay theyll never fix I've been forced to game elsewhere and im glad i heard about this game
Mike Stoklasa and Rich Evans are in this game 10/10
A character acually asks you "what is wrong with your face" in the first 10 minutes of the game lol.
I'm really enjoying it so far.
Btw, I'm pretty sure Rich does the voice for your suit's AI.
@@matics898 * while you're staring into a compact mirror with cocaine on it. Don't under sell this moment.
@@EdindroWhitehall Yup, I was caught off guard by that. Underage cocaine use and RLM references in the first 10 minutes of the game? Sold!
It's so weird in such a good way. Not the most amazing game ever, but I had fun with it. I would recommend it for gamepass owners cause it's actually a pretty good time.
I cant believe when i was playing this game it got me watching Tammy and the Trex unironically for 20 mins, this game is so awesome and dont let the reviewers tell you otherwise.
Seriously thought about calling it a night and watching the rest of that movie 😂😂
I was gutted when it wouldn’t go past the credits have to give the game a 3/10 for not letting me watch the whole thing
Same
All the weird random tv shows grabbed my attention for a good full 30 minutes. That's another thing i like about it. It sucks you into these weird conversations you would have otherwise passed by.
Reviewers don’t know shit, this game is easily a 85/100
Can we just appreciate this man’s shirt? Fosters home for imaginary friends is amazing
I was going to comment that lol you beat me to it
No
This was probably the perfect approach to reviewing this game as opposed to people either declaring that it is or isn’t funny when the style of humour is so subjective
Was one of my most anticipated games of the year and played 4 hours so far. Luckily I dig it and I’m having a blast.
You can adjust the chatter frequency. Default is high, can be reduced to occasional or turned off entirely.
If you reduce it will be boring as hell, the chatter is half the game 😁
@@GenikaXVI I also left it at the default. The chatter is kind of what makes this game unique imo!
I actually enjoy every moment of this game and the graphics are insane
Lezdoit lezdoit lezdoit!!! 🤣
Lol
honestly the opening was awesome. i loved the call back to the last game and then pulling out to the real game is great
I caught myself continuously exclaiming "knifey!" while performing melee attacks in this game lol
@James Alexander lets hope he didnt lol
Autism
nobody cares
Cmon guys its not that big of a deal
cringe
Only killed the first boss, but so far I love it. Definitely my kind of humor that is nicely paired with some fun gameplay. Give it a shot if you can!
The thing is with Rolland’s dialogue, is that every line of dialogue is a family cut away gag, and it loses its novelty quickly when he uses the same structure for every joke. There is a line between useful dialogue between characters, even joking banter between characters, and just in ending babble
Haven't played the game yet, but Roiland's style of dialogue is just too breathless. You barely have time to laugh at one joke before they've made two more. He's got a ton of ideas, but I think the show would benefit greatly by slowing its pace, even slightly. Same flaw with basically all new blockbuster action movies (replace the jokes for huge CGI sequences). It's a cemented trend and it fuckin sucks
The thing is though that is the very reason people who enjoy his dialogue enjoy it. It is just not for you and that's fine. No need to try and break it down and fix it. There is nothing wrong with it. It clearly works, its just not for everyone.
Yep. I enjoyed Rick and Morty S1-3 but now its just same old same old. Gave the game a shot but again, it's just more of the same.
Wacky humour works when it's...wacky. Do it enough times to the point it's predictable and it dies.
Dude i fxxking sat and watched through all of tammy and the t rex at the house.
The gameplay and style of the game reminds me a lot of Journey to the Savage Planet.
I don't have a problem with the game, but this is the type of humour where all your friends will tell you how gut-busting laugh out loud funny every moment is, then you play and four hours later you haven't even cracked a smile and you're wondering if this is even the right game they mentioned.
"Oh there's a box, why, why don't you open the box, open the box, don't you want to open the box? Come on open the box"
Opens Box
"There's nothing in the box, it's empty, y-you've wasted our time, we're all older and closer to death because you opened this box"
You'll either laugh at the funny random unexpected dialogue
or
You'll feel the game is treating you like an idiot, "Yes, I opened the box because you told me to, rambling like a drunk and stating the obvious isn't funny"
And that's just one example.
The whole game is like that
Good thing you can just get sweezy and use her for the rest of the game. She doesn't talk too much, but it's always on point.
This game is so good. Not just the humor either. The gameplay is phenomenal, and when you get kitted out and are able to smoothly switch between wepons in combat move around the battlefield really fluidly
Some aspects like the enemy behaviour, subtitles trampling over each other, and the underpowered-ness of all the guns but Kenny are definitely up there in experience issue.
But maybe we could just bully Justin into fixing these bugs, like what you guys did with Cyberpunk
Oh shoot forgot to mention the lack of polish in some of the animation transitions
There was a time I never would've looked at a game like this but I downloaded it on to XB yesterday. I just looks like a lot of fun without taking itself too seriously.
This Game is actually really cool. Love it so much. its a bit addictive.
but overall its soooo good. If xbox game pass didn't have this available I would of probably never tried it out.
Lots of games have talking guns nowadays (e.g. Skippy in Cyberpunk 2077 and a few guns in Borderlands 3), but not all do it well and none base the game around those interactions. This looks like a unique experience.
What makes me super happy, is that this game is an example of growth within the games industry! While playing through God Of War I realized how detailed the dialogue was. And now seeing this game, it’s another great example of that! And it’s just different… which is something we really need after a stale several years of blandness.
Agree. The immersion from the audio is on point nowadays
@@slaktaren4849 Same with movies. Things like Hereditary and NOPE wouldn't be as good without the incredible sound design modern movies are creating.
Ironic that they both focus a lot on dialogue but go for two completely different styles writing wise
_High on Life_ somehow reminds me of _Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath_ with the "organic guns".
Tried the game for 2 hours, I loved every minute of it. Most definitely the game I’ll play this week after work.
It’s a pretty short game unfortunately lol took me 7hrs to beat
@@georgie9303 I don’t know how long it took me, but I finished it Friday evening. Yeah, pretty short, but very entertaining.
@@georgie9303 damn it took my a solid 20. But I did do alot of exploring and side stuff.
@@georgie9303 it took me 15 hours to beat on hard mode
@@georgie9303 i did side quests tho
You can also turn down the amount of "Banter" that your guns/weapons do if it bothers you! Just go into the settings & you'll see the options.
And fall asleep then 😂
Yeah but even the required banter is annoying and unfunny
I just started the game and my favorite part so far is when you shoot the kid you get the achievement Fall Out Does not let you do this that was hilarious.
i think there is a setting where you can change how much the guns interact with you, fun chill game
Yup, there’s a dialogue scale.
You should also realize that GP will lead to games devalution if there is no return.. the games will get cheaper to buy (free) and will be cheaply made
I need reviewers to start looking at ALL SETTINGS so repeating things like "dialouge" won't be an issue because there's a setting to LOWER THE DIALOUGE OR TURN IT OFF.
Kinda reminds me of one of my favorite games, rogue trooper. The guns talk to you too. Your squad dies and you put their chip on your gun and you can use them along your travels. One was a medic, one a gunner... I forgot the other. But you get them over time, not all at once. It was a great underground game, back on ps2. I have it on my Xbox series s. Not remastered or anything but not every old game needs one.
Can't wait to play this. Only a couple hours left. I also gotta watch Rick n Morty.
Tobacco made the music. Iv been a fan of his for over 15 years and saw him play in someones back yard. Now hes on a big ass game. His music is great and hes a really nice guy to hang with.
It's like a first person wacky colorful fever dream
Yeah the dialogue is going to drive me mad. Might be a pass 🤣
You can adjust it from very frequent to “off”
It makes me laugh lol
That's like saying I gotta job so you don't got too or I watched a movie so you don't have too lmao 🤣 😂
I've never read a title to a video and went "oh thank god" before
Due to the fact the game relies heavily on humour and the fact humour is subjective also means you're view of the game varies depending on who u are. Case closed
man this looks so fun!
Lpove the Morty voice
the complaint about the dialogue is not fair because there is literally a setting for gun and enemy in-play dialogue so you can turn it up or down
That just influences the battle chatter.
They still talk a lot for story reasons.
It's pretty freaking easy if you like Rick and Morty you're going to like this game we all know Justin roiland's humor if you like it you're going to like this game this game is pretty freaking fun I love it and I stick around for the random dialogue that continues there's so much of it
Trover Saves the universe was fun for a while for me, but the dialogue does get old after so many hours. Can't just sit down and play these sorts of game in a long session, at least for me. I need to play in bursts, have a laugh and then come back to it another day.
I get a feeling imma have some fun with this. So far this year I’ve beaten god of war Ragnarok, Elden Ring 3 times, Cyberpunk 2077 twice, Forbidden west, Halo infinite campaign, Resident evil 2, 3 and 8, the last of us part 1 remake and just finished that cheap dead space game forgot the name already but it’s all been serious and heartbreaking shit I will Defo enjoy some Rick and morty humor
2:33 no sir, he smoked him 🤣 infinitely more funny than eating him. Smoking on that human zaza pack 😂🤣
I don’t think it’s the review scale, just the reviewers. They can tell us there personal issues with the game itself, but the review has to be non bias. Like Gameranx, aka jake who always makes it clear about subjective parts of a game and at the end of the review he doesn’t hold what will be subjective like humor effect the overall worth of a game
The problem isn’t that these negative reviews simply “don’t find it funny”, it’s that it offends them. These people made up their minds the second they saw the game was being made by Justin roiland because they hate his humor. In one of the low reviews I read, the typical games journalist was crying about a suicide joke and how the jokes in general were “too taboo”
I’m sure some of the jokes just simply aren’t that funny, but any other normal human being who isn’t miserable and looking for reasons to be negative is gonna enjoy the majority of it.
Reviewers who give a game a 1/10 based on only one aspect of the game deserve to be fired and their review not be counted
It's a game where every character is as abrasive and obnoxious as Tiny Tina. Greaaaaaaaatttttt.
Oh look, another lukewarm vat of casserole Uncle Phil tossed out on the buffet. Chow down kids...
The lack of polishing in this game is just whopping
This actually looks really good. I’m 100% going to check it out now
For anyone that this will help, you can choose the frequency of the random dialogue coming from your gun. It’s helpful if you like the dialogue but find it to be occasionally overwhelming
It’s been a good game so far I’ve had a couple weird enemy glitches where I’ve had to reload because the enemies disappear and can still shoot but it’s a change of pace and reminds you how to just laugh while you play a game!
I've been waiting for this game since it was announced a while back. It was very quiet, but running in the Rick and Morty circles you were bound to hear about it very early on in its development.
With myself it has always been about the gameplay, I can ignore everything else if the gameplay is up to snuff....few reviews I have seen have barely touched on that part lol
I’m 4 hours in so far, gameplay wise it’s got a good loop and feels different to anything out there atm. Definitely worth at least trying. I’d give it at least 2 hours and complete the first bounty mission before you either quit or play on. Start to get more and more equipment and gameplay features the longer you play. Comedy at least for myself is the main draw though.
Man the music is something else lol it sets the vibw
The game rocks, the Easter eggs are incredible as I sit in the games theater writing this, the humor is subjective but most of these bad reviews are written by unhappy people unable to unwind and just chill
Its an ok game if you get it free on Gamepass but definitely not worth the $60 price tag. Its fun but very short.
This game looks amazing, i can't wait to play it!
It’s really engaging and fun… there are a few minor performance issues (on my Series X) but other than that (which should be patched soon) it’s weirdly gripping. Try it out :)
It's so goofy but that's why I've loved it so far
I love it. People want something different or new. Well this is it and its structure pays respect to metrovanias. Great game despite its humor. And the humor isnt bad its just nonstop but you reduce how much weapons talk.
Your analysis is pretty spot on. Been playing it over the weekend and pretty much thought the same thing. I am seeing reviews being a bit harsher than I expected considering how surprisingly varied and fun the actual gameplay is, but then again, I should have seen that coming considering the Roiland backlash we've seen in recent years.
The game could certainly use a performance patch on consoles...
I’m so confused though because I’m playing on Series S and it’s running excellently 🤔. 60fps or so I’d say. What problems are you having
Performance issues. I played uptil krubis just an hour ago on my xss and I really haven't seen any thing that is an issue. Game plays very smooth.
@@simchaschneider6600 i'm playing on a series S and the framerate are all over the place, almost never hitting 60fps, i'd say it runs between 40 and 55 fps so it's not that bad but it drops from highs to lows too quick
For people who don't like the constant banter, can change it in the options so its only at the important parts instead of all the time.
The great part about this game is if the talking is too much they gave you an option to tone it down or turn it off completely
I know the gun is called Kenny...but come on
It's totally the mortygun
The thing is, with a random game like this, it's wrong to say it's a bad game because the game isn't for you and it isn't what you wanted to be, because it's not a sequel or part of a series, it's the first game, so you can't really have expectations, and what expectations you did have from the trailer and what this guys creations are like, it's probably exactly what you expected. But with a game like TLOU 2 that was SO highly anticipated and impossible not to have expectations and theories, hopes and desires from what the game would be like based on the first game, I think you can say whether that game is good or bad based on your preferences because it was so popular and story focused, it isn't a case of the game wasn't meant for you because it was meant for everyone that was a fan of the first game and wanted to see the continuation of that story and those characters, only to have expectations subverted and hopes and desires crushed. It's not the game people wanted or expected it to be, and for some that's a good thing, but for others it was disastrous garbage
Pentiment is similar in the respect that it's polarizing. I probably wouldn't have purchased Pentiment but played through it on GamePass and loved it. I'll be giving High on Life a try as well.
thank God for honest, not obviously-paid reviews for games
This is one of the first games I'm kind of sad I don't have an Xbox to play. Wish I could check it out.
Its on pc with gamepass
I downloaded on gamepass just to give it a try and im hooked now. Its fun as hell, genuinely makes me laugh every so often as well. If u have gamepass i recommend a download
I was really interested in this game until I found out that the movement keys on PC are hard bound to WSAD, you just cannot rebind them, until they fix this I'm not buying. What is it with devs these days not bothering to do the most basic of things that have been done on PC since the 90's. On top of that there is no FOV slider so if you suffer from motion sickness of just don't like a zoomed in view your stuffed and apparently you cannot turn off motion blur as well, just sheer laziness.
He didn't eat the old guy he inhaled him like a joint hahaha get it high on life lol
I found the game to be much better with the dialogue turned to the lowest setting.
Its not the scale thats the problem. People feel the need to rate high or low you never really see an average of 5-6/10 anywhere
No Gamepass, but this serms like a game I'll just enjoy playing enough to justify buying. I like absurdist meme humor.
The humor is juvenile, but that’s what most people enjoy
Humour by it's definition is juvenile. There is no "adult" humour.
Imagine this talking gun gimmick in the annual call of duty title it would drive you nuts.
" Oh gees oh my the bad guy has a nuclear device I sure do hope breaching this door doesn't fade to black and show a cutscene of the enemy using it against us"
*Breach*
" Oh my would you look at that the screen went black. Probably so they can you know outsource this cutscene to a Korean studio or whatever it's like a miracle or something"
Honestly he’s right, if you like rick and Marty humor and have game pass, just play it. If not, wait for a sale or something. It’s a fun one time play through type of thing
It's awesome and refreshing a game that has tried something new.
you can turn the enemy and gun chatter down/off in the settings if you’re enjoying the game but don’t like the commentary.
Never have I ever had a game made me pause the game from laughing, easily 9/10 so far
That fosters home for imaginary friends shirt…brings back memories
I already beat it yesterday when it came out at 6:00pm on story mode and it was an amazing experience a weak 8 but a strong 7
Glad I can't run it cause voice actors in Rick and Morty annoy me to no end.
Looooolll is that Morty in a gun?! That's hilarious
I been waiting for this game to come out, can't wait to play it
Do the 2nd bounty option first after beating 9T. You’ll get your 2nd weapon sooner and there’s a hidden achievement that you miss if you do the other way.
I can’t think of the names but the bounty on the right with the dome helmet is the one I’m talking about
There are 7 missable achievements. this one “…gunning for your job”
I wouldn't say it got no hype, no media or press. IT's pbeen pretty well talked about and of course have Justin Roiland attached is still super hot right now.
I like Roilands humor and not enough games really lean into being just funny and irreverent, so I'll be checking it out.
Best part of this video is the Foster's Home T-shirt.
Its wacky fun. I love it. The opening brought back doom flashbacks.
I hated last night and a big problem I noticed was the camera shaking like crazy during animations or cutscenes, but otherwise awesome game.
I finished the first big level and man I love this game and boy the Easter eggs! I won't say what but it literally took me out of the game and I forgot I was playing a game and it was perfection 😂
On this one you have to. It's so good
I’m only an hour in and personally I do enjoy it, it’s not crazy good or the funniest it’s just mindless shooter fun for me and the goofiness adds onto it
It’s the best of 2022 for me
I am really enjoying the game tbh. I’ve found myself laughing out loud multiple times. This is the type of title that makes me feel so good about having game pass. Popped into the app, saw it there, downloaded it out of curiosity, and I am loving it. Scratches the Blockbuster itch.
Loving it, by the time I got the jet pack I was having a blast playing it and listening to it.
This game is good you can also watch the tv it’s got shit loads of content. I watched an entire real film called Tammy and the T-Rex and it’s super bad but fits the whole funny narrative.
Game sunk its hooks in me right after I asked the alien why he was fishing in a lake with no fish in it
I love the excuse of "sure it's a bad game but it's on gamepass", people seem to use that a lot lol. But ngl i kind of love this game just for it's humor, kind of sucks it's doing so bad review wise at least they got cash from M$.
Delaying review codes til the last minute is pure strategy. They know this game won't vibe with everyone and couldn't afford a bad launch
I just beat it yesterday and i had a good time and also if you don't like the random humor from the guns Kenny the pistol will actually tell you can can turn off their random quips and only talk for the story I haven't used it but it's there if you want it
I love this game! I’m playing it on Game pass right now, I’m considering on purchasing it, love the writing and, dialogue!
