does the shotgun effect of shit content make you feel good? Its just noise without substance and contributes to more noise... something to think about while you are slightly richer than before and yet vastly more depressed...
Hey Matteo, we're glad that you liked the game regardless the mentioned issues. Our devs prepared 25+ improvements for launch compared to the content creator build. And we pushed the first patch with more fixes this morning. Some voice acting lines will be re-done as it seems to be a common concern. And we will not only continue to polish the game and add QOL features, but will release 2 content updates until the end of the year. Thus said, I wanted to address that last part of the video, to add some facts and context. For instance, Outlier was closed because it had some core design flaws evident after launch. All players have been offered a full refund with no time limit. Player feedback was carefully studied and all the good that was in that game was remade into Dead Hook, which is now a success, and people love it. Against, in its turn, features a fully finished and functional campaign with different difficulty levels and a level editor. It's still marked as a EA title only because transitioning into full release on Steam gives a game another traffic push. And we have been holding it back, as we still have plans to bring the game to more platforms eventually with extra content. But regardless of when that happens, players can fully enjoy the game despite the EA tag. Dead Hook and Stack, our latest games, received their latest updates on Tuesday. I'm not saying that Joy Way has never made any mistakes. In fact we did, and our communications honestly were bad at times. The strategy for the future is simple - we will continue improving and making bigger and better VR games. - Arthur
@NPCMii you know what you just said is a lie and if you only had a clue how many promotions I turn down because I don't like the game. I hardly showered this game with praise. I ripped everslaught invasion a new one and you honestly have 0 clue how things actually work
You are easily my favourite VR tuber now. Especially after seeing how others handled sponsored content. You refuse to compromise on your integrity. Keep doing that, as any missed sponsorships will be overcame by the long term success of your channel, due to a fan base who trust you. The tubers selling out for short term gains are idiots, and they won't win back my respect
There is an issue with Early Access that isn't often considered. You may, with all the best will in the world, aim for a particular end during the early stages of development and yet as work progresses that end becomes unrealistic or just undesirable. Early Access exposes the work to consumer judgment sometimes *too* early in my opinion, I'm seeing the changing roster of titles by Joyway as perhaps evidence of that. I could be mistaken of course.
The fact that this video is sponsored and you are still honest and give your honest opinion which is different from many other CZcamsrs. Please continue like this! I bought Strade back then because of the announced story mode and it was never released. I will definitely buy Fates, but if Joy Way continues like this it will be the last game I buy from them.
I have the exact same criticisms as you after playing the game for 2 hours. It's so close to being great. But every time I try to grab ammo but instead get stuck to the environment it makes me want to throw my headset against the wall. Grabbing the weapons off of your person is almost impossible. I still often grab my cell phone instead of my pistol and can grab my SMG or shotgun maybe one out of five times. That being said the game is extremely fun. Parkouring around really fast and then hitting slo-mo in mid-air to nail some headshots is truly satisfying.
Gosh the voice acting and that weird deadeye stare look horrendous, but at the same time, I understand that there will be these types of issue on standalone VR (for now). I am considering it, but the main hangup I have is that it's Joyway and I don't trust them after I bought the OG Stride purely for the story that never came. (Although if they focus on the games they made, they can repair that bridge) But that aside, I am always pleasantly surprised of how Critical you can be, and how honest you were about the issues with Joyway, and honestly, everything you said was true, so it wasn't like you were needlessly sleighting them. It's a good review you made here and I think everything you said in this review was perfectly fair, and, if I'm totally honest, the criticisms you made, are invaluable to Developers who are looking to work on their reputation or to address feedback, so if I were Joyway, I'd accept the criticism and work towards a new future with the company.
They’ve done a bunch of updates this morning I guess which is supposed to fix a lot of their issues including gun aiming. They’re also supposed to be eventually allowing you to self adjust your aiming angle. I’m hoping they keep at this game because it could be really great.
I have played the original stride for hundreds of hours and I was so hyped for stride fates that I pre ordered it and when I played it and it was good but I had many problems at launch and that had ruin experience and when I returned to the game my save was wiped and I already put in 4 hours to the game and it was gone to say I was mad was an understatement. As for joy way I genuinely hate how they put out a game I enjoy and then never finish it or for stride multiplayer barely adding any content besides some viral changes and when they do add new content it’s something new but they have never went back and add to the older game modes or fix some of the issues with the maps after a year since multiplayer was first added. Finally as I really hope Joy Way really steps it up
Luckily, it's Joy Way, who are well known for finishing and polishing games after release. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh well, I bought it and will probably play it in a couple of months, hoping that it is a bit better by then. If not, I'll still have fun.
My issues so far I don’t like the weapons feel lack of haptic feedback and can’t hold weapons with two hands or reload them realistically. That’s personal but the reload feels inconsistent with how low you need to put the guns down to load em. The hand to hand combat is pretty fun but is not bone labs or blade and sorcery, I don’t know if it’s just me but does anyone feel slower trying to run I played the first game on ps4 vr and I don’t it felt faster and smoother. I still like the game and find it fun but I don’t it feels a little slow.
I actually sought out some reviews to see if they matched my first impressions, since I was surprisingly disappointed. I was seduced by the trailer and my love of stride which I go back to a lot for a mild workout with wrist weights. The voice acting in fates was something that really grated with me, delivered in a manner that was like they didn’t really comprehend the dialogue and couldn’t offer any relevant emotion. Not all of the voice issues relate to the voice talent though, the script is often forced and delivered at inappropriate times. I will confess, I don’t like having my hand held by a game, I don’t want constant instructions and chat in my ears like an endless tutorial, I want freedom. The weapon/object storage system is odd too, forcing you to hold items rather than holster anything other than a weapon you start with it seems. The game has potential, the hard work has been done, just need honest play testing and refinement I think.
Baulders gate 3 voice acting is literally the apex of voice acting with hundreds of thousands of hours of dialoge so its def not a fair comparision but i def get ur point.
I really hate it when vr games make it too picky about grabbing your gun and other objects. The best vr games typically have a snapping feature where when you get close to a certain object, your hand snaps to it and it just feels better. Vr controllers just aren't ready for ultra realistic grabbing and precise finger positioning. Ghost of tabor is the worst when it comes to this, it tries to be so realistic and just becomes infuriating, it doesn't feel realistic, just janky
Im kind of glad you gave Joyway a bit of a slagging. You did mention they gave a free copy to steam users but you didn't mention it failed to do so for oculus users who bought it at the same time. But great vid, Stride fates looks a lot more shitty than I thought it would. Im kind of glad about that too. Thought I was missing out not getting a free copy because I was an easy adopter back in 2021 on oculus, but now I don't feel like i'm missing anything. Just another half baked Joyway title. I was thinking if I have to buy it again I would get it on PSVR2, but I don't think Sony would allow this half baked experience on their store.
I just refunded it, it is so ugly and so full of bugs and glitches. Dumb AI, combat not fun at all. Maybe in 6 month after some really heavy patches. Gamebraking was, that it did not save at all….

Awesome to hear
@@NPCMii there loss then
Joyway .. bunch of thieves & liars
@NPCMii I seriously wonder what your issue is. Everything I prove you wrong you just delete your messages and stop responding

I respect your honesty about the game studio
I whole heartedly agree with your review, the game is good but it needed more time in the oven to become more polished like you said.
Congrats on your nomination broski. I'm with you for the long haul.
I'm still waiting for AGAINST full release. Am I too naive? 😂
I really like the visuals of that game.
Gosh the voice acting and that weird deadeye stare look horrendous, but at the same time, I understand that there will be these types of issue on standalone VR (for now).

Good to hear but man these should have been in there already
I agree 💯

Thwy could give enemies glasses to wear, so eyes arent dead
Some actually do have glasses or helmets
I appreciate you being honest about Joy Way Mateo!
Joy Way = Stride, Stride Fates, Against, Outliers, Stack, Dead Hook, Red Flowers, prob more.
I'll wait until they fix the problems in the game first. Joy Way is not to be trusted.
Great review. Thank you. Would like to hear your opinion of:
Dark Invasion VR: Doomsday
I'd have to check it out
I agree that Joyway needs to only focus on 1 game at a time to ensure the quality of their games is where it should be upon release.
Oh, that ending is so cute (I guess I had skipped it the previous times 😅)
Sometimes I include her, not always

i felt the same but you can actually store items in your wrist just an fyi
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 ah, ok .. will give it a shot, thanks :)
Joyway is like the Pimax of the vr software world.
Ok so a lot of the mechanical issues can be fixed pretty easily which is good
Game does look fun, but maybe for 15, not 30. In some ways reminds me of To The Top, Windlands 2 and The Climb 1 and 2 from the early days.
awesome video bro .

So should I get it or get assassin’s creed nexus
Nexus
Joy Way half assing a project? Who could have thought 😂
1:40 I see what you did there

Sounds like wait for an update
The devs on this game... sigh
It’s pretty good
Made For Quest games in a nutshell lmfao.
?
Joy way is russian company, man
Bunch of liars ..wont get a penny out of me ..enjoy your cash fella
I just refunded it, it is so ugly and so full of bugs and glitches. Dumb AI, combat not fun at all. Maybe in 6 month after some really heavy patches. Gamebraking was, that it did not save at all….
if nothing else, the trailer went hard asf
