Vail VR: we will give you money if you advertise our game Habie: No Vail VR: So you will not advertise it? Habie: No, I will advertise it for free. Smooth brained, as things should be.
@@RidgeVR It seems like a good game that’s pretty high quality. So it seems like Habie could have just been paid to say the good things he said already.
We have completely diffirent opinions. Vail feels too basic for me. The spray pattern is cod like. Too easy to control. It's like playing laser tag. The skill cap is too low.

NFT’s we’re a fad, and no one who actually plays esports/ video games cares/ will want to buy one. If anything people will be less likely to play the game knowing that NFT’s are going to be a part of it.
@@mr.crowley64 They Made the NFT's to finance the beginning of development. Also, compared to other NFT's these aren't just pictures. No one is forcing you to buy it nor does it give you any advantage in game.

Hey on into the radius in the school entrance hallway, there is instakill lightning anomalies and a super important artifact is stuck in the hallway, whenever I go in or too close to it I die instantly, do you know how to get my stuff back
@@Gizmos_and_stuff there was an update recently patching anomaly zones that has too big area, you may try to update and see if this help (didn't played yet myself btw)
Yeah the small player base was great, being able to recognize like 90% of the ppl in the video is awsome. Sadly now that vail is in open beta the player-base has like quadrupled.
You know Habie, there is almost no chance you see this, but I just want to say that your videos consistently make me smile like a dumbass every time I watch one of your videos! I hope *you* have a good day and keep having fun with this channel.
tip for you guys: strafing perfectly works in this game. so just strafe left and right while in combat and your enemy will have a hard time hitting you
I consider strafing in VR to generally be a bad thing. It is disproportionately difficult when aiming with your actual hands by waving them in front of your face to hit strafing targets, who can jink back and forth with the flick of a thumb FAR faster and jerkier than is remotely possible if you actually had to do it with your legs. Obviously some side-to-side motion with stick input is necessary because playspaces are limited, but it needs to be very limited in speed and have "inertia" to prevent instant direction change IMO.
@@sultanofsick You can get around that with separate head and chest tracking, you can pretty much set up anything that uses a gyro (I use joycons, but I know people that use old phones) in tandem with an xbox connect. You need up to 3 gyro devices (1 for each leg + chest), it works surprisingly well and total cost was sub 120$.
This actually insane I remember you hitting 50k subs and freaking out talking how much you couldn’t believe it and now you’re almost at 500k. So proud of you, no one deserves it more, so much love put into every video it’s impressive
I think that's why the channel keeps growing. I was an early subscriber to him, I'm not a fan of VR games but I really enjoy his videos. He seems like a very genuine and chill guy which comes across well on his videos. Glad to see him succeeding.
I can't fully wrap my head around what makes these videos so addicting! It's a beautiful combination of your comedy style, comedic timing, and mad editing skills that just leaves a goofy grin on my face and gets me excited when you upload!
you are already becoming one of the most populair VR content creators on this platform it's insane that i found this channel at like 80k subs I hope you are able to turn this channel into your lifelyhood tbh i think you already did :3
I have so much respect for you for not taking sponsorships. Of all the youtubers ive watched and followed over the well over 10 years ive been on here, you are by far the most "real"
I don't know how I feel about a game that is trying to have an e-sports league when it doesn't even have a fan base.. E-sports doesn't work when the game doesn't have fans. CS:GO works for an E-sports game because it has a dedicated fanbase. You make enjoyable videos, so thanks for uploading. :D
@@GrandmasterUV In my experience(1k hrs in Pavlov), vail’s Artifact mode is far more fun than Pavlov’s SnD. Pavlov does take the cake when it comes to everything else except gun physics.
Entirely inconsistent reminder to habie that you are an s-tier youtuber and every video you make is quality content no matter how smooth your brain is. Also not skipping past the shaming just to enjoy the gradual descent into madness and also slightly out of spite.
The NFTs were used to support the initial funding for AEXLAB. They have long stopped advertising vailien NFTs, and they were never in game except for an Easter-egg reference in the armory.
Its so amazing your growth, I remember I must've joined around like 20-30K when I first got my VR and wanted to see some cool games to get. Now you're more than 10x that and for good reason, probably the best VR content creator there is in terms of showing how the game would play in a natural sense while still being interesting and a personality.
The genuineness of your videos and the fact that you do things like say no to sponsorships like that are why I subbed this channel! I started watching long before I had a headset, and your videos ultimately convinced me it’d be worthwhile to pick one up - plus you’re hilarious.

tbh you becoming so popular is a blessing and a curse, the blessing is that you get what you deserve bc you easily deserve a million subscribers. maybe even 10 million, but i feel like the more you become popular the more the interaction with the viewers is lost. which is totally not ur fault ofcourse, but the interaction on stream and the community in videos was the number 1 reason why i still think ur the best youtuber in my opinion. plus we already talked about this on stream and what also happened to for example william osman and shit. but im happy for you and i still hope we hit 1 million some day, bc you really deserve it.

NFTs are not "intrinsically bad", its just that terrible people used them to screw over stupid people.

Yo habie, I've watched you from before your hundreds of thousands of viewers and you do something special, I watch your every upload and you are an entertainer and just keep doing what you're doing, I state this before I watch this video and I hope you see this but that's unlikely. Your edits and commentary are like no one else and I hope you keep going for a long time yet. P.s I'm bevved but you're a legend
I appreciate that you refused the sponsorship, I've been looking for an unbiased take on this game, and I couldn't get it because aexlab had sponsored all the other VR channels I watch, so thanks. I hadn't heard about the nft thing, I'd rather they weren't in it, it kinda makes me think that they are going to make cosmetic nft items, that will end up taking priority over the development of the game in the years to come, I hope I'm wrong.
Yeah, this is the thing I'm not liking about Vail the most. It's not that fun to me, it feels really bare bones and uninteresting, the novelty of the whole thing wore off after not long playing, but all the people they're paying to hype it up as the best VR shooter, when it's really feels like something pretty niche. It's really odd.
4:36 bro That's me I swear I did not know it was you that was watching us play chess. I was surprised to see that I got into the video by playing chess with someone
Very cool to put those people that recognized you in the video, but not talk in game to preserve the mystic for a bit, only so they can have a holy shit moment later! Thanks for the great weekly uploads man~
This has nothing to do with the majority of the video but genuinely I enjoy the smooth brain sections because they still make me laugh. Specifically the "they're communicating" and " " bits. Keep up the good work and your videos will never not be entertaining
"NFTs aren't intrinsically bad" Citation Needed Edit: The game does look interesting, and VR eSports could lead to further VR saturation, which would be nice.
I needed to hear something Positive right now, and hearing you talk about how good something is with the enthusiasm you have in your voice really helped. Thank you.
CS:GO graphics are quite nice in my opinion. Everything is visible and clear and you can tell what everything is because of it. Other than that I loved the video Habie, I’m going to have to check this out.
Game looks great honestly, but the NFT thing is a deal breaker for me. Sick of out of touch corporate video game companies and pretty much companies in general pushing the NFT garbage that nobody asked for and nobody wants, and I had hoped this NFT stuff had died by now. Most likely not going to be getting this, at least not unless it picks up some serious steam and people start talking very highly of it.
Yea I feel the same way. It's unfortunate. It's not the future, it's just pointless. Why would you even need an NFT in a video game? Ownership is already strictly enforced by the laws in game. It's just adding extra bullshit to appeal to techbros.
My guy, the NFTs stopped being made a loooong time ago. That was used to fund the initial development so AEXLAB could stay independent from large corporations. I don’t understand why people are still talking about this 💀 The NFTs are not advertised and there is like 1 reference to them in the armory that you would only understand if you knew what it was. It was just another way for people to invest for a period of time. The clarify, there are no NFTs in-game. They were used for funding. Nothing more.
@@Tooterbooter Just because they're trying to bury what they did doesn't undo it lmao. You can't un-fuck the thanksgiving turkey just by pretending you never touched it.
I subscribed just because you are a dream to listen to. You have a relaxing voice and a lovely, positive personality! Sometimes I watch the video, and sometimes I replay the video and simply listen to you enjoying the games!
Glad you made this video, I haven't heard anyone else talk about AEX Lab's NFT program. Really sad to see but at least I know who to not give money to.
Habie, i think why i like you so much and maybe why so many others do is because when you talk it feels like my friend that I’ve known for years is just telling me about a time when they had fun, not doing what’s popular, or what makes money but your just general fun, and as a fan it bring me joy to hear you having fun its why i wanna watch. Anyways keep up the amazing videos hope to play with you soon
Hey Habie, I’m a vr game dev and I’ve been working on a game for the past two years I think you’ll like. It’s called Oust and should be available on the oculus store in a few months. I would love to see you play it, and if you’re interested I would be happy to give you a free key for the game.
From my perspective, I am genuinely so grateful that this video isn’t sponsored by the game, the video is so much better for it, subjectively speaking. But I would definitely be fine with you doing non-video-related sponsorships like VPNs or website brands etc etc
The NFTs were used to support the initial funding and development so AEXLAB could stay independent from large corporations. They are not in the game and have not been advertised for a long time now.
@@TooterbooterWhy do you think "to raise money" makes it better? That's EXACTLY the problem. At BEST you are suckering someone out of their money promising some "valuable" artificial scarcity string of bits. That suck up REAL WORLD energy for no damn reason other than to prove no one else "owns" that exact same string of bits. At best they joined what they thought was a popular fad as an easy way to make money. At worst, they deliberately swindled people by encouraging the idea that they were making an "investment" into something that they can get a return on, instead of the reality of they were buying horse armor.
neah, not so great, Contractors is the best among all, Vail is mostly hype, the performance is terrible for a so-called esports title. I really wish they can make it better... will see in the final release
Vail is "competitive" until the moment the big tournament ends. People will not be playing this game in any meaningful numbers. It was supposed to release for everyone over 2 months ago, after 5 years of work. This game is borderline scam.
@@AEXLAB I've played it since i got a key a year ago. So update us all here when the game is playable for everyone cause that was supposed to happen over 2 months ago despite your hard payments to TH-camrs to promote it
@@AEXLAB it's been 4 hours. i replied to your comment under 5 minutes. sounds like YOU have a case of BORDERLINE personality, REDIRECTING ALL AND EVERY SINGLE DISCUSSION TO YOUR OWN DISCORD WHERE YOU BAN PEOPLE TO YORU OWN LIKING INSTAED OF ACTUALLY ENGAGING WITH THE PUBLIC OUTSIDE YOUR SAFE SPACE
The rabbit hole of mods in Contractors continues to expand. Yesterday I was running around Bikini Bottom with 6 grenades, a katana, 4 throwing knives and none of that was as exciting as the lightsaber I found on the floor.
Made my contribution towards that 500k. I'm hoping to try this game out soon, and this video just added to my hype a bit. I love detailed gunplay. Looking forward to this, and I hope to bump into you for some connect 4 sometime :)
6:10 a little smoothbrain advice, to knock out a mag with another mag you have to actually strike the mag release paddle, so you should aim a little higher In most VR games you can just tap the mag, but this game’s going for realism, and irl mags aren’t designed to just pop out with a random nudge. It’ll still let you do it, but it’s inconsistent for a reason

Your edits and commentary are like no one else and I hope you keep going for a long time yet.
P.s I'm bevved but you're a legend
I appreciate that you refused the sponsorship, I've been looking for an unbiased take on this game, and I couldn't get it because aexlab had sponsored all the other VR channels I watch, so thanks.
I hadn't heard about the nft thing, I'd rather they weren't in it, it kinda makes me think that they are going to make cosmetic nft items, that will end up taking priority over the development of the game in the years to come, I hope I'm wrong.
Fully agreed
Sponsorships are not bad but man can they skew perspectives
regarding nfts, don't worry, they have no plans for any more nfts. they just needed funding and found nfts as a better option then meta or bankruptcy
Yeah, this is the thing I'm not liking about Vail the most. It's not that fun to me, it feels really bare bones and uninteresting, the novelty of the whole thing wore off after not long playing, but all the people they're paying to hype it up as the best VR shooter, when it's really feels like something pretty niche. It's really odd.
welcome to the Family. Tropical, Aoud and the team are great, community is great. !
I remember seeing this game on thrill’s channel a little bit ago, cool to see it evolving more
You’ve become one of my favorite people to watch on yt tbh
Been following this game for a while. It’s just crazy
4:36 bro
That's me
I swear I did not know it was you that was watching us play chess.
I was surprised to see that I got into the video by playing chess with someone
Very cool to put those people that recognized you in the video, but not talk in game to preserve the mystic for a bit, only so they can have a holy shit moment later! Thanks for the great weekly uploads man~
Your assessment of the word "NFT" is spot on, because the second I heard it my thoughts went from "maybe" to "NOPE" and then back to "maybe"
This has nothing to do with the majority of the video but genuinely I enjoy the smooth brain sections because they still make me laugh. Specifically the "they're communicating" and " " bits. Keep up the good work and your videos will never not be entertaining
One of the only times I have directly downloaded a game because of a content creator. Your style of Content just makes me WANT TO PLAY
Habie should do a hyper smooth brain reading but with no music, no reverb, just him in silence(maybe with a fan) reading it.
As someone who knows two of the devs, Thank you, This review is amazing and I loved it.
"NFTs aren't intrinsically bad" Citation Needed
Edit: The game does look interesting, and VR eSports could lead to further VR saturation, which would be nice.
You need a citation for why a verification protocol isnt intrinsically bad?
I needed to hear something Positive right now, and hearing you talk about how good something is with the enthusiasm you have in your voice really helped. Thank you.
The integrity on this man is insane
Finally the epic Vail vr content you promised. I'm so happy
CS:GO graphics are quite nice in my opinion. Everything is visible and clear and you can tell what everything is because of it. Other than that I loved the video Habie, I’m going to have to check this out.
until they added player skins. the pro games arent bad, because they dont use them, but green on green and white on white skins/maps are kinda common.
I respect that you don't do sponsorships alot.i would still watch because your honest and seem sincere.love your videos
Game looks great honestly, but the NFT thing is a deal breaker for me. Sick of out of touch corporate video game companies and pretty much companies in general pushing the NFT garbage that nobody asked for and nobody wants, and I had hoped this NFT stuff had died by now. Most likely not going to be getting this, at least not unless it picks up some serious steam and people start talking very highly of it.
100% Don't support any games with NFTs
Yea I feel the same way. It's unfortunate. It's not the future, it's just pointless. Why would you even need an NFT in a video game? Ownership is already strictly enforced by the laws in game. It's just adding extra bullshit to appeal to techbros.
My guy, the NFTs stopped being made a loooong time ago.
That was used to fund the initial development so AEXLAB could stay independent from large corporations.
I don’t understand why people are still talking about this 💀
The NFTs are not advertised and there is like 1 reference to them in the armory that you would only understand if you knew what it was.
It was just another way for people to invest for a period of time.
The clarify, there are no NFTs in-game. They were used for funding. Nothing more.
@@Tooterbooter Just because they're trying to bury what they did doesn't undo it lmao. You can't un-fuck the thanksgiving turkey just by pretending you never touched it.
They also pitched the game to Jake Paul lmao
I subscribed just because you are a dream to listen to. You have a relaxing voice and a lovely, positive personality! Sometimes I watch the video, and sometimes I replay the video and simply listen to you enjoying the games!
Glad you made this video, I haven't heard anyone else talk about AEX Lab's NFT program. Really sad to see but at least I know who to not give money to.
Habie, i think why i like you so much and maybe why so many others do is because when you talk it feels like my friend that I’ve known for years is just telling me about a time when they had fun, not doing what’s popular, or what makes money but your just general fun, and as a fan it bring me joy to hear you having fun its why i wanna watch. Anyways keep up the amazing videos hope to play with you soon
Now way he made a k.. joke 5:52
I don’t get it
Watched your into the radius streams and now I'm officially addicted to the game. Thx for the awesome content.
Here's hoping more VR games get handling like this.
Minus the NFT part
Personally, I admire that you refused to take a sponsorship despite the fact that you were going to play it anyways, makes the review way more sincere
I was going to give it a try until I heard of the NFT thing. Fuck that shit on principle alone.
i remember the 8k days your videos have put a smile on my face and made the time fly by i hope u get way past half a million
Habie: points gun at earth
Me: SHOOT IT
Habie: shoots it
Me: AGAIN
Thanks pal
Today was a bad day for me,but you always manage to make me laugh and remind me that one day,I absolutely must grab a vr
Thank ya
Hey Habie, I’m a vr game dev and I’ve been working on a game for the past two years I think you’ll like. It’s called Oust and should be available on the oculus store in a few months. I would love to see you play it, and if you’re interested I would be happy to give you a free key for the game.
idk if replying to comments gets them more attention but I hope he sees this, dude o:
He's said before he can't record on Oculus games, only PCVR.
@densoro thanks man!
Yeah does oculus rift count as pcvr? My game should be available there too.
@@bradb5129 Never used oculus, not sure how the crossover works, but yes he _can_ at least play it. He might not be able to make a video on it though.
From my perspective, I am genuinely so grateful that this video isn’t sponsored by the game, the video is so much better for it, subjectively speaking. But I would definitely be fine with you doing non-video-related sponsorships like VPNs or website brands etc etc
If a game has NFT then it does not deserve it's popularity. Full NFT ban or boycott
appreciate all the extra effort you put into the voice over this video :)
"NFTs aren't intrinsically bad". Yes they are. I didn't know this game had anything to do with them, and that lowers my opinion of it substantially.
The NFTs were used to support the initial funding and development so AEXLAB could stay independent from large corporations.
They are not in the game and have not been advertised for a long time now.
@@TooterbooterWhy do you think "to raise money" makes it better? That's EXACTLY the problem. At BEST you are suckering someone out of their money promising some "valuable" artificial scarcity string of bits. That suck up REAL WORLD energy for no damn reason other than to prove no one else "owns" that exact same string of bits.
At best they joined what they thought was a popular fad as an easy way to make money. At worst, they deliberately swindled people by encouraging the idea that they were making an "investment" into something that they can get a return on, instead of the reality of they were buying horse armor.
love ya habie. Your videos always brighten my day. It's easy to tell you're a decent person. Congrats on almost half a mil you deserve it.
Maybe a sponsorship wasn't a good idea considering they're knee deep in NFT stuff, but I don't really know your views on that stuff
That was to support initial funding.
The NFTs have not been advertised in a long time and are not in-game save for a reference in the armory.
it wasn't a sponsorship, as he said multiple times in the video
I was gonna try it but instantly lost all interest as soon as NFTs were mentioned.
whatever happened to this game
uhmmmm
Bro now i can finally stop landing #1 in pavlov lobbies and do professional vrfps tournaments thank you fellow smoothbrain
neah, not so great, Contractors is the best among all, Vail is mostly hype, the performance is terrible for a so-called esports title. I really wish they can make it better... will see in the final release
Vail is "competitive" until the moment the big tournament ends. People will not be playing this game in any meaningful numbers. It was supposed to release for everyone over 2 months ago, after 5 years of work. This game is borderline scam.
@@SINfromPL Hey there, you have borderline probably not played the game.
@@AEXLAB I've played it since i got a key a year ago. So update us all here when the game is playable for everyone cause that was supposed to happen over 2 months ago despite your hard payments to TH-camrs to promote it
@@AEXLAB it's been 4 hours. i replied to your comment under 5 minutes. sounds like YOU have a case of BORDERLINE personality, REDIRECTING ALL AND EVERY SINGLE DISCUSSION TO YOUR OWN DISCORD WHERE YOU BAN PEOPLE TO YORU OWN LIKING INSTAED OF ACTUALLY ENGAGING WITH THE PUBLIC OUTSIDE YOUR SAFE SPACE
The rabbit hole of mods in Contractors continues to expand. Yesterday I was running around Bikini Bottom with 6 grenades, a katana, 4 throwing knives and none of that was as exciting as the lightsaber I found on the floor.
should be free game, dead already
it was dead a week into launch
Woke up 5min ago, saw that habie uploaded, day already better.
Your approach to not taking sponsors is impressive, but you deserve the rewards! Just don’t change your videos :)
Love watching VR shooters.
Godking Emperor Smooth finally made a video about this gem of a VR shooter. Much Pog. Hail Habie
Oh shit, is that THEE SOUL BC?!????
@@ripsactual Is that THE Rips Actual?!
@@SoulBC it might be tho
Made my contribution towards that 500k. I'm hoping to try this game out soon, and this video just added to my hype a bit. I love detailed gunplay. Looking forward to this, and I hope to bump into you for some connect 4 sometime :)
if I ever get a powerful enough pc/VR, this channel will if not already is my gateway to it. also lets get that scary number grow bigger
6:10 a little smoothbrain advice, to knock out a mag with another mag you have to actually strike the mag release paddle, so you should aim a little higher
In most VR games you can just tap the mag, but this game’s going for realism, and irl mags aren’t designed to just pop out with a random nudge. It’ll still let you do it, but it’s inconsistent for a reason
Dude Habie take that bag!! We love you and we want you to feed yourself and have nice things!!!
The vail community and I would probably want to say “❤” aight that’s it
YES my daily dose of habie. This is one of the reasons I love the weekends
been subbed since 30k, love your videos man. So happy to see you take off like this, you deserve it. Keep it up man!
The second you mentioned H3 I was on board 100%. I'm absolutely buying this game.
...once my VR setup stops being broken. FU-
Your channel makes me excited about video games again.
HABIE!!!! I got into the ivrl vail playoffs for this game! I’m so glad you did a video on this!
P.S. MajesticBandit1 was a friend of mine and teammate on this team
3:27 Thats why i freaking love VR shooters 😂 Happens so many times.
