I do think it's a little unfair that a lot of the bugs in his copy are fixed by the time his review came out, but it's not really a big deal. Dude doesn't like the game, that's cool. Actually now that I think about it, I have no idea how often the non-PC versions of the game are being patched, they might still be buggy as heck.

My current Jacket cosplay uses a game accurate white and yellow, but the letter is the wrong shape. :smith:

EDIT: Then again, my main reason for purchasing this is to do specifically Payday 2's version of Jacket.

But the official jacket doesn't look like that either. The colors are wrong. The official jacket is loving garbage.

He has a consistent list of likes and dislikes which means his reviews are at least somewhat consistent rather than just being gibberish, which puts him pretty much at the top of the games journalism shitpile.


He's not the best, but if you know what he likes and dislikes, it's pretty easy to get the gist of how good a game actually is.

Anyway, I'm kinda disappointed with how the level design of Wrong Number went. More enemies? Fine. Bigger emphasis on guns in some levels? Alright. Getting shot by enemies across half the loving map that I can't see even when I'm stretching the camera? Come on guys, you're better than this. The levels in the first game were tight, well designed, and a good example of how you can make a relatively simple idea turn into a challenge. Here, it's like they took every small issue I had with the first title and exaggerated the hell out of them.

I played the PC version just the other week and had dudes getting stuck in doors a whole lot. :shrug:

His complaints are mostly well founded. In general I don't really understand people who seriously complain about the game's difficulty. Yeah, it's unfair sometimes, but it doesn't loving jerk itself off when you lose and make you wait through loadscreens and replay decent segments like a certain game that seems to get endless praise.

The basis of the complaint is that the game's difficulty prevents progress in a frustrating way. It's really not that hard to understand.

There's really not much more to it than that. His first video was about how The Darkness was a bad game because he couldn't figure out how to complete the tutorial.

For comparison, my little brother was 10 years old at the time and he managed to beat the entire game unassisted.

True story, I once lived in an apartment that didn't have a toilet.

We had to get a key to another apartment to poop and pee.

The apartment was across the parking lot.

This was during winter.

Nope, lovely apartment complex in Knoxville, TN. They had to remove our toilet to dig up burst piping, didn't fix it for a month.

I still live here by the way, we have a toilet now though, so it's all good.

Jesus H Christ on Crutches this game is basically bipolar.

The death wish level where you play as all The Fans was legitimately fantastic - tough as nails but slowly beatable as I began to figure out the tricks behind each ability (mainly, the importance of baiting gun enemies into side rooms).

And then there's another fun journalist level that I romp on through within ten minutes. I'm smiling, feeling good.

And then another soldier level. Its like someone took all of my problems with the game's shittiest design choices and put them into one section.
