@THE VOID 2 weeks late but they radically changed their vision for how it runs as a MOBA multiple times. The game used to be a lot slower and had long play times due to the large map, so they re-designed the entire map to speed up gameplay. This rapidly shifted Jungling which they seemed to both like and dislike early on. They changed the way items worked multiple times. They continually shifted general stats and the way timers for things like Jungle mobs. The developers never really settled on their design. Maybe that changed towards the end but I can easily imagine them changing it massively again in another year.

Can confirm: - Bought Overwatch - Bought Battleborn - Played Paragon, Smite and LoL - Never heard anything about this from anyone or any of my usual sources and haunts This comes out of nowhere for me.

Otherwise you can have a pretty rich hack&slash online experience with friends in a PvE environment like Dragon's Dogma Online, PSO2, and similar Dungeon/Instance-based Online RPGs- and those are old examples. Regardless, these feel good because of the amount of hit flash, stun/shake, haptic and similar time-dilation focused feedback elements when slicing up multiple Mobs at once. Against another Player, being constantly juggled or stunned isn't fun so the real-time combat balance ends up becoming difficult. A lot of these titles seem unsure of what they want to be at a core and where the key polish lies (Moba Composition / Brawler / TPS) which leads to confusion with genre naming what target audiences expects.

It really sucks the dev team pushed to have this game "release" when it did, there's a few things this game does so well, (characterization/backstory, world detail, gameplay loop, lore and design) and it deserves to try, but they shot themselves in the foot with this "launch." This should have been early access at the least, if not a closed alpha/beta test. The sheer amount of server fixes within the first day should be indicative how well the team is able to fix problems, but first impressions are everything for multiplayer-only games, and Crucible is dropping the ball.

The voice of Bugg is actually a text-to-speach program, no joke. If I'm not mistaken it uses Amazon's own Polly system.

7:36 So it's a hero shooter where you pick your hero and then the server randomly assigns you to a team. That right there is a Cursed Problem and the game is doomed unless they step back and completely change everything. Most everything else can be tweaked, but this is something they likely don't even realize is a game-ruiner. What a waste.

I didn't realize it was a pun, I thought she was like a pyromaniac character that wanted to solve everything with chemical weapons.

The pun is actually great. What's bad is the delivery. Which is basically the entire game in a nutshell.

​@@the_mad_fool What? The pun was corny as hell, and the delivery was perfect for what makes corny puns so great. Unless you mean that it could have been worded more interestingly, but then it wouldn't be so deliciously bad.

my first thoughts after playing my first game of this was that this needed much, much, much more QA time. you know, like anthem

Aw man, you mentioning Gigantic at the start makes me sad. I played that game a few times and loved it, but my absolute potato of a laptop could barely run it so I stopped. Years later, when I got my desktop PC, Gigantic was one of the first games I looked up, only to discover it had died long ago. Rest in peace to that game.

Waiting for a sale on that one, i've heard very good things about it, and from what I've seen it looks like a fun procedurally generated exploration shooter with some actual co-op mechanics. Any idea of how well it runs on Xbox One?

Holy shit, Ralph's description of recently released LoL champions were so on point.

This game has a lot of potential, sad to see how it's not doing very good.

"Potential" is all it has. It is not a good game in its current form and it's doing about as well as it deserves to.

2:37 While i agree with many of the points in this video, this part likely has to do with you being in Australia. And you really should think about that when it comes to matchmaking in games. Ive been playing and enjoying Crucible, despite it's issues, and it takes me less than 30 seconds to find a match here in the US.

PvP games could act weird , a friend in Canada claimed it took him and his buddy 45 minutes to find a match for Apex. I haven't played Apex in months but don't even know how that could be possible.

Yeah but we have other games here that aren't like that, meaning that if other games can have decent international servers or net code, it is a valid point

A lot of Arenanet devs left Guild Wars 2 to go work for Amazon on this game, and just like previous project they had poor project management and a lack of singular, solid vision.

I've heard of this and I didn't know it even realesed

Never heard of crucible, but it looks like a trashy version of Gigantic with a graphics update. Battle born was a fun game and got overshadowed by Overwatch. Gigantic died because it lacked a player base. It’s just sad,

@@807D14M0ND5 The fact they did zero research about the fact that Crucible is associated with Destiny and maybe they shouldn't use that name.

A month later and the game recedes back into alpha, like you suggested. Nice.

Lol I died when that character was like “but that’s nothing a little acid can’t solve” 😂😂 that’s my new catchphrase

The fact that you mentioned how Riot Games fucks up champion balance every time says a lot of things of the current state of that game. I assume you don't play the game much but you hit the nail in the head perfectly! Love the review

That Earl voiceline about dad jokes caused me actual physical pain.

If like to inform you that one of the ads on this video were for crucible. Using the words ‘Best shooter of 2020’ were the central words of the ad. I know you can’t control that, I just found the ad placement amusing

Nice video Skill up, i was actually trying out the diffrent hero in Crucible when u released this video.. the melee thing is so spot on. the heroes need personality. I always enjoy your reviews, cuz u really dive deep into the "game" and u have an understanding of it, anyways i have a hard time explaining what i think, just wanted to say you make really nice reviews :-)

(*reads part of the title,*) oh sweet New World Footage! wait... crucible? amazon's making another game? what? it released 2 weeks ago? What!?

The first game mode sounds like the Jungle style role in particular of a moba tbh. But as a full game mode.

Now i know how to save my dada. I only have to find out what dada is.

"Anthem but with PVP" is honestly one of the harshest things I've ever heard Also comparing anything to Gambit is a bad start, most of the community hates Gambit

Ive heard that some people are trying to revive Paragon and Gigantic under the name Fault/Overprime(Paragons sukcesor) and project Stamina(Gigantic sukcesor). Pardon my english.

"Alexa, how do we make a video game?" - Brainstorming process of Crucible

This actually made me want to see a video of yours revisiting Gambit in 2020 and how it could be improved cause I love the concept of that game mode but there are just so many problems. You're basically stuck at sub 20 fps on like all but 1 map on ps4 and it's ridiculous how the balance for that game mode has gotten.
