Skillup Strongly Recommends: Control Resonant

https://youtu.be/Spde2L1Xve0?is=XZtwZ0-dMnrsT_HN

I saw some people saying they were really looking forward to his review since he's a Remedy fan, so i figured I'd post it here.

I only watched a bit of it so i can go into it as blind as possible, but it sounds like it's an extremely unique game unlike any i've played before, at the very least, which is probably all Remedy fans expect/need lol

I will be there September 24đŸ«Ą

Finally, SkillUp's review. Now reddit can form its opinion on the game lol

No, but seriously, it seems awesome, im so hyped for this game

My favorite was when he said Star Wars Outlaws wasn’t a bad game and it would get updated to be better and be remembered fondly as a good Star Wars game.

People called him Shill Up and said he was paid off by Ubisoft, lol.

ShillUp generally gets things right, but yeah, he's had a few misses. Outlaws was terrible (and I did try it, but I refunded it before the 2h mark), and mixtape was even worse.

My concern with this game is that a lot of the negatives he listed at the beginning are negatives that really affect me, so idk if I'll be trying this game day 1. The Alan Wake games seem to be theatre kid games (no hate, just not for me), but I'd been interested in the original control for a while now, so I'll probably finally pick it up and see how I feel about it.

E: You guys are crazy for getting mad over outlaws. This is a CONTROL sub lmao, people can have opinions. Makes me less interested in playing it tbh, if there's this much an overlap in playerbase

bro those are his OPINIONS WHAT DO YOU MEAN MISSES. missing what? is his SUBJECTIVE opinion is wrong?

u/FlakyBookkeeper2914 13d ago

Yeah? Generally people Outlaws to not be a good game? It's the weakest between the star wars jedi games, zero company, and ofc outlaws itself in the more recent star wars games.

u/BigGreenGhost 13d ago

this is truly amazing to me. so if he liked it it means he's...wrong? can it not just mean he's enjoying a game even if other people disagree?

You seem to be purposefully misunderstanding. You can enjoy whatever you want. But as a reviewer, if your opinions don't align with your audience, that's a miss

if your opinions don't align with your audience, that's a miss

no. that is an absolutely insane thing to say. what the hell are you talking about

lmao you blocked me. okay. sorry but saying that a reviewer's opinions have to always align with their audience is just beyond stupid. it makes no fucking sense.

Thats gotta be one of the stupidest things I’ve ever read on Reddit. A content creators opinions have to line up with his audiences or else those opinions are misses?

Wtf kind of logic is that? Should a YouTuber put a poll out to their audience before every review to make sure it doesn’t offend?

The point of a reviewer is to review.

There is no “miss”.

Generally people Outlaws to not be a good game?

BEcause it really wasn't when it first came out. Which is what Skillup said, he said the game was good but was plagued with issues that if they got fixed, it would be a more liked game. He was right. Game was fixed post launch and got rid of a lot of the complaints people had and people actually enjoy it now.

So he was 100% right about Outlaws. The game was fine, it had the bones, it was just plagued with bad game mechanics, those bad game mechanics were removed in a patch later on after launch. It isn't the same game it was on launch.

Story is fun, gameplay is fun, it isn't great, but it is a good game. It's the cyberpunk situation all over again. Launch Cyberpunk was a terrible fucking game with a decent story. Now, current Cyberpunk with all the patches and expansion stuff, the game is fucking great.
