Knocked LEGO(s) off of my shelf. 10/10 Would break them again!

I sarted playing Verdun when it first came out and people think it is unoptimized now and has a wonky hit box system, back then it was really bad. My pc could barely handle it and it was still pretty laggy so i returned it and didn't even really think about buying it again. I very much enjoyed and liked the idea behind it but it was to buggy for me to even really enjoy playing it.

Then when it came on sale i started looking into it again 7bucks instead of 25 sounded alot better to me for what i thought was a laggy buggy game. even then i was kind of ify on it, but i bought it anyways and have now enjoyed every moment of it. My potatoe of a pc runs it on low at around 100fps and it's low graphics are like arma 3 high settings!
(my specs are: win10 64bit, 5thgen i5-525OU, intel HD6000 graphics, 8gb ram) This game runs even better than the newest battlefront and titanfall on my pc.

The hit box is wonky to people because it works on where you hit the player on the body! Stomach,chest and head are insta kills while shoulders,arms and legs only deal a little dmg. The enviorments in the game are so accurate and real, the sound of the weapons and aircraft above perfection! Even the unit uniforms and facial looks are dead on for the time period. You also have ricochets you can be killed or wounded by a stray round. Everything about this game makes you feel like your right there in the heat of the battle!

Trench assault/warfare is by far the best game mode in the game. In it one team starts off by attacking an enemy trench and trying to take it if they succed the enemy gets a chance to take the trench back and this just goes on back forth untill time runs out or one team controls all of the territory.

I highly recommend this game! Way better than battlefield 1!

With the game is right now it is honestly really worth around 15bucks so 7 bucks is a steal!

This game is as it says an early accsess game. I bought the wanting to try it out didn't take me long to not like the game.

From description, videos and reviews on the game it seems more like robocraft wehre you make you vehicle and take it to battle. Which I thought would be really fun but it turns out that it is actaully more of a resource managment game. You have to get materials to build you ships and ad on to your base where your crew and ships are kept. also you have to hire crew members and manage your funds as well. The thing I would be fin with this if:

1.It cost 18 bucks

2. if it wasn't such a grind fest. (takes for ever in the tutorial to get 1000 iron.)

I see alot of potential in this game so don't give up devs! I will mostlikely buy the game again when it goes on sale or gets more content and gets worked on the resource gathering deparment so that it isn't such a grind fest.

For now it gets thumbs down from me untill it gets worked on and improved. I hope that one day it could be a thumbs up.

Update 7/4/19----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have solved this issues, don't what caused it originally I have upgraded my pc with a fresh install of New Vegas.


Updated Aug 10 2016-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So after a long time of running the game on high settings with no issues on windows 10 (with all the dlc) The game decides to start crashing. I try all the basic stuff I knew to try and fix it with no results so I contact bethseda support it takes them 5 days to get back to me and they tell me to do what I have already done. They eventually send iit higher up which I was kind of glad at first cause I thought it ment people who knew what they weir doing. They tell me to run the computer in clean boot...did that no results, Modify visual settings......did that no results, then they said to send them my DXdiag and msinfo. They send me back an email trying to blame the problem on me because my computer doesn't meet their specs. Even though I told I had and HD6000 and that the game had run fine on high graphic settings no lag, no crashing no nothing, untill now.

I am giving this game a thumbs down to windows 10 users as I have read on the steam forums of other win 10 users having the same issue. Also thumbing it down due to bethseda customer support trying to blame the problem on me instead of sticking it out and helping me find a solution.


DO NOT BUY IF ON WINDOWS 10!!!!!!!!!!!

BETHSEDA CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS JUST CRAP LIKE DELL'S!!!!!!!!!

Original Jan 6-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I had been watching some youtubers play Fall Out 4 and I became interested in it I looked into it but seeing how steep of a price it had I went against buying it. I looked at the other games but didn't know what they weir like compaired to 4 even watching gameplay of them they didn't look as fun. When the steam winter sale came along I thought I would try out Fall Out NV and boy have I not regreated it! Spent only 20 minutes at first on it and now I have spent over 2 hours on it. Also you never get bored with it. Dishonored which was also made by the same people who did NEW VEGAS isn't half as much fun. I love the free roaming do as you please kind of game play\world. And my character can shoot his way out of any situation.

Then there is a huge modding community for this game. Alot of the mods add new quests and expand the world giving you new places to explore.

Do I recommend this game well if you have been following the review then you know the answer......

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

If you can get it on sale it is a steel.

However if you are wanting all or at least most of the DLC for it go buy the ultimate edition you will save money that as I learned from my own mistake.

The game is very fun but as it says it is an early access game. This game vrey much resembles stranded deep. It is pretty well rendered and optimized can play with none or little lag on low end computer. Would like to have maybe a strating cutscene in the begining of the game to explain what is going on. The need for food, water and sleep would be nice along with illnesses so medicin. Being able to cross oceans with out a raft just going for a swim above and\or underwater. enemies would be nice. this game has alot of potential.

The last update for it was july 17th so it has not been abndoned!


I recommned to get and support this game. But not for 15 bucks. I f you can get it for free or on sale then get it.

I bought this game on sale after I watched Jacksepticeye play it. It is very fun the story behind it is great, as well as the variety of powers and weapons. My favorite thing to do is take a sticky grenade (Normal grenade wrapped in barb wire) and throw it at peoples faces. However I do not like th Karma system at least how it is setup. In the game there is 3 endings wont tell you what they are but they depened on how many people you kill during the game. Kill alot of people get high chaos\karma rating, kill 26 or below people get low chaos/karma rating. Get high get bad ending, get low get good ending.

My main complaint is that there is no percenteg on the people you have killed to tell where you are on the chaos rating, just high or low no inbetween.

I also wish your character had a voice which I like abou Dishonored 2

Pros:

Greate story

Very nice graphics

Greate looking enviorments

You come to care for every single character in the game

Variety of weapons and powers

Cons

Karma system

Audio needs a bit of work

your character doesnt have a voice

As for the sequal comming out.... with the mulitple endings I don't quite know about a sequal I am afraid it will be abit watered down and not as good. I like the fact you can play as emily but this game was more of the story of Corvo (your guy). I will still give it a try though

The standards this game set i hope it can meet it as this game is well worth the 10 bucks (which by the way is very cheap for a game of it's type hint hint.)

I would definatly recommend the game!

My rating A++++++++++

Alright it had been a bit since I wrote my original review and thought that it was time to update it!
Since now I use it all the time to make videos for my youtube channel! SHRAKNEL YOUTUBE

Original Review

So D3DGear is a good recorder no lag and i have a really low end computer, good recording quality and sound quality. However the videos tend to be just black and no video when i stick them into my editing software I get sound but nothing else, other times they cant be played by WMP. And then customer support is awful I asked a question on something and I got answer that didn't solve it in the least bit.Then after every update it bugs and wont start I have to uninstall and reinstall just to get it to work.

I would recommend this for it's price if wasn't for the bugs and customer support.

Review Update

So I got my mic issue fixed, I learned that to be able to hear other peoples mics in the recording I need to not record my voice through D3DGear I used Audacity instead to do that so
I can ehar others mics in my recordings now. A new issue popped up for me I would Get Pink\Purple lines through my TF2 Recordings The solution to this turned out to be that for TF2 I had to record in Fast motion-JPEG. The next issue I had was that my video editor made the quality of recording worse than what it was originaly. The original recordings would be great and the video editor would just trash them.

However This turned out to be an issue with my video editor which is now fixed.

And all thanks to the much better customer service! Keep it up guys your recording software is totally worth it!

Do not buy this recorder this thing is a piece of crap! So I got it first looking for a cheap recorder but as they say you get what you pay for. This thing Crashes all of the time and takes with it all of my open applications, especaily the game I am trying to record with it. Is excevily buggy it will crash when I try to save a settings change. In other wards your STUPID TO BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK.

GO BUY D3DGEAR INSTEAD IT IS A 100% BETTER SCREEN RECORDER AND DOES IT'S JOB THE FIRST TIME!

This is an early version of the game WAR THUNDER by Gaijin. It wasn't bad but it isn't no diffrent than WAR THUNDER.
If you try to play it by mouse and keyboard it is impossible as the keys are every where, then if you hook up a stick you have to spend forever adjusting the senitivity to who you want it. Which is what I dodn't want to do I want to be able to launch the game and play with out having to spend forever editing controls.

Then you can't do Multiplayer any more which is miss leading as steam lists it as having multiplayer (Yucan'tPlay).

Inother words don't buy this game just go and play WAR THUNDER if you want a gaijin game.

Me and a friend are looking for a game to play together, He recommends Muder Miners ask him what it is he tells me it is like Halo and Minecraft combined but waaaaaay better than both of them. He trys to get me a free key in a give away. I just end up buying it for 99 cents and Haven't regreated it since. I even ended up buying it for my brother.

Right now waiting on a refund so I can get it for my other brother as well.

I haven't regreated getting it yet! :)

Buy it you won't regreat it ;)

I would even pay 5 bucks at max for it so $1.99 is a steal for it!
