hello! here’s another video about a weird game you probably haven’t played! thanks for watching my stuff, and i hope you have a lovely holiday season. (also i tried holding the mic this time, not sure if i’ll stick with it but i’ve been in an experimenting mood lately)
nice video, would you consider trying to learn to play the piano
Thanks for the video, Yakko! You have been my favorite content creator for years now
@BOOMBO11 im secretly hoping this is a gentle nudge to Yakko that there isnt a proper appreciation to ProjectMoon games. It's a vague, naive but genuine hope.
i played and agree. fun game, rapidly became boring and seems useless to play (similar to those resident evil multiplayer games)
exo primal has no content only 1 game mode and fihgting bosses (the actual fun part of the game) is random and you can go hours without seeing one. and the pvp can be fun but very unbalanced as they focused balance for the pve and you also have to slog through the same repetitious pve to get to the pvp and then you might not even get the type of pvp you enjoy and most of the pvp is also pve (nothing quite as frustrating as losing a 1v1 pvp encounter cus you had 2 raptors chewing on you and they didn't)
so conclusion:
if you enjoy pvp too bad you have to do pve to get to it
if you like the pve great but you will run out of content fast
if you like to fight giant raid bosses good luck ever getting the boss fights to roll
fixes that would get me to play again:
they need to add a matchmaking selection that lets you enter queue with players of >x level
and a mode that is just boss fights like i wouldn't even complain if they made it random what boss you get but just a mode that can only roll the boss fights would be amazing
(same thing with pvp)
This game being PVP is what killed it, everyone wanted a PvE game, many big content creators say "The game is amazing until you have to fight other players and it feels forced".
I've seen a lot of people wanting a game more akin to Left 4 Dead or EDF (or just saying Capcom should've made a new Dino Crisis), but I think the PvP (while very flawed) is what makes Exoprimal stand out. I personally don't think the PvP is the sole issue as it stands, especially with how underwhelming a lot of the dinosaur combat feels. With the amount of changes they'd have to make for it to be a full-fledged dinosaur PvE that could stack up against something like Destiny or Deep Rock, though, it'd be asking for a completely different game.
This
I wanted this to be EDF but with Dinosaurs but they just had to glue the PVP onto it
Not really. What killed the game was having like 3 maps on launch and not releasing any new content
Yup, having to balance EVERYTHING in a game for pve and pvp content at the same time is just too dumb to try.
Look at something like destiny 2, how many years have the pvp and pve players bashing heads (and ignoring the pvpve players).
Just make something like EDF or Deep Rock Galactic and focus on one thing.
@@yakkocmn Making a completely different game with the same design and gameplay would be better.
The industry has a lot of PVP games already.
"I like playing as the big dinosaur"
We all do. If only more games let you play as the big dinosaur
When will developers learn that killing dinosaurs/monsters is the least interesting thing you can do with them
WHERE IS MY GOD DAMN DINOSAUR OVERWATCH AS THE DAMN DINOS???? HMMMM???
Primal rage is decades old and better than this garbo
Hello friend. Have you heard about this game called "Evolve"? Hmm actually never mind, I said nothing!
@@__-be1gk that's the reason people still like tanks the vehicles
@@__-be1gk Monster Hunter wants to know your location
Me and my friends stuck with this game and really loved the last half. I wish the presentation was better though. Anyways, the bit about Leviathan is so on point. Leviathan is one of the most memorable video game announcers I've ever heard. We still randomly quote him even when playing totally different games.
"Summoning raptors. Summoning raptors. Summoning raptors."
You preformed sub-optimally in your last match
"Summoning Carnataurus....Summoning Carnataurus."
"Summoning Neo T-Rex swarm."
Those cooler gamemodes being locked until you progress the story further sounds cool in theory but that alone turns off a lot of newer players from wanting to push on from the first few hours if they arent aware of it and eventually, its gonna be really hard finding players in the cooler gamemodes if too many people dropped the game too soon.
That and the first few hours are ass, had the whole game been fun including the beginning modes people might have actually just unknowingly played longer.
I definitely shook my head when I heard that part in the vid. How are yo going to lock that stuff behind progression without ANY hint that's what's up ahead? And worse yet, no ability to progress either by choice, not getting to progress at a slower rate if you're not doing your objective(s), or have you unlock it by doing the slow progression route then doing a solo/queued up mission for it (and filling with bots if not enough players are around).
Making things far worse is needing that 3rd party account at all. Unless that was a growing pain deal and they've since patched that out.
This, i played during a free weekend and there was nothing to even say that there was more content to unlock, i wouldn't mind having some things locked to begin with if you at the very least knew there were things to be unlocked new players shouldn't have to look to google to find out if there is more than 1 map and 1 game mode
Fun fact: the pure pve is basically gambit from destiny. It suffers from a lot of the same issues.
I am glad to see a game try what gambit did all those years ago but it seems like the idea is a lot touchier than anybody thought and is incredibly difficult to execute. I have hope for these ideas in the future though.
Ah yes a game bassed on the worst game mode in destiny that's how to sell something
@@The_Genigambit is at least somewhat interesting and it felt like your or your teams actions matter
You have to go all in, thats the biggest issue imo. The entire game has to revolve around that really tight balancing where you can't have things too efficient but you're also just like ... incentived to one shot everything lol
@@The_Geni i liked gambit...
More like EDF
I remember pretty much the consensus with this one was "oh; that's cool, but where's the PvE only mode?" and then the devs said it was on the way, and put out beta tests with the forced PvP that made a lot of people upset lol
I think the devs had an interesting vision for this game; but I also feel like they needed someone to tell them to just focus on ONE aspect of the game, and tune it to perfection. If this was a solely PvE or PvP game, I imagine it would've been a lot better received.
I just left a comment saying the same thing lol. They needed to go all in.
Back when gambit came out (yes I'm that old) I thought it was gonna be basically Destiny's focus from there on. A lot of the lore revolves around it anyway lmao. But then they didn't, and so much so they didn't even bother developing it further. It still feels the exact same just shy of a decade later lol
The raids and bosses are one really damn good to play.
But what it ruins playing this game or saturated is bc dino survival is PvEvP and having """"forced pvp"""" ruins it which it really doesn't pvp in this game can be fun.
What it really mess up is the matchmaking putting you in the same mission path and maps too many times in a row, that's why some called Saturated or shallow, bc the matchmaking isn't allowing you to play other parts of the content that you should be playing, a quiet lot of mission paths sets that are fun and could be experiencing more often, but rather that, the matchmaking decides to always prioritize the low level and you can't do much, not even a 50/50 for get a different map or mission paths, a big error was to make the story attached to the multiplayer.
Hope in season 4 they separate this and make this matchmaking more free to select better the content, besides the crossparty that already should be since day one.
With matchmaking getting good changes, then we will see more people playing it.
I'm still amused the PVP element that scared people off was more often than not the occasional Dominator, for some it was the timer against the enemy team even if you don't interact with them, but for many people it really was that sometimes a smarter dino came onto your team.
@@danxol9588
Well, if I don't want PvP, I don't want any player controlled dino attacking me. It's that simple.
i do not understand people crying about the pvp on the game because it only comes from people that havent played game. if you did you would know that the pvp is trivial and can be avoided by simply choosing to play pve
Yeah, the problem I had with Exo was that there was genuinely a funny and campy story going on, but all that Live Service PvP stuff was getting in the way. I would've liked a PvE hero shooter.
Preach. PvE is best and isn't pay to win.
Why do one thing well when you can do 7 things subpar. I wonder if devs are trying to get their games on as many for you pages as possible, so the more tags they can put the more people they can reach 😑
Prepare for managed democracy
All I wanted is a Dino Crisis remake. That is all.
Savage Gauntlet's weekend exclusivity is almost certainly to centralize players towards the main queue during weekdays, which is especially important considering the lower player counts.
Even though is quiet problematic, the mode itself is fun.
But is really like, get top 20%, then leave, there isn't much to keep you playing the mode more, specially in solo which is terrible.
As a Warframe player, I was put off from trying by the PvP. And I bet the people who like PvP were put off by almost all of it being PvE.
im a slightly old warframe vet and generally I hate competitive pvp, but this game is absolutely amazing and did both pve and pvp very well and they blend awesomely and I have tips to give players that only want pve or only want pvp
At least if you have game pass I say give it a try..... and keep playing until you finish the story lol
Yeah in Warframe, PvP, like the minigame collection, feels like an afterthought that's just collecting dust at this point. I'm expecting these modes to just get axed from the game to save on server cost or storage space, or something.
I actually really like it, I'm mostly pve but love a touch of pvp and this works for me
I think that one of the problems was that when the game was showed and the people saw: CAPCOM, red hair lady and dinosaurs you automatically think Dino Crisis and Capcom knows how much we want a remake or another game...it felt like a bad joke. Great video!
Literally felt like they dangled the carrot in front of us, just to shout SIKE and pull it away from us😔
@@coreycarnegie5990make it with the resident evil 2 remake engine
It would likely be on the REX Engine since that is what they are moving forward with. Which would be fitting honestly given the namesake. @@johnlawful2272
Main reason why I refused to play this game
I played this game for a good while man like probably 20 plus hours and it still has some of the highest highs I have experienced in recent multiplayer. Running over to the enemy teams payload to blindside them with deadeye's ultimate was incredible. When every piece of exoprimal clicks its phenomenal, it just sucks that it hits that sweet spot like 15% of the time.
This game feel like it might be a prime suspect for a 2.0 F2P update in like a year.
I hope so cuz your 100% right, when exoprimal hits, it HITS. But it only hits 15% of the time.
Yeah it had really good potential for pop-off moments, and the pure PvE modes just could never deliver that, but as you can see in this thread, generally that's what people who tried the beta wanted. Because they wanted a different game than what this game was basically. Like, I have complex thoughts on the dominator other than I think controlling a dino is pretty cool, but the fact that you'd interact with the other team, deliberately try to sabotage them while balancing defending your own thing was what made the game even remotely interesting. There was no challenge to actually clearing the dinos if it's your team's only focus, the challenge was when your team was spread thin because they were fighting other players.
absolutely hilarious that the devs decided to hide the majority of their game and as a result most people never even heard about it. This is the first time across multiple reviews that I've heard anyone mention more gamemodes etc. unlocking as you progress the story, presumably because reviewers aren't going to waste over five hours or more on repetitive gameplay that has no hint of change.
As far as most of the world is concerned, Exoprimal has only one game mode and it's not an especially engaging one.
I bought and refunded the game twice, and this is the first time i heard about new game modes to unlock
Most refundable multiplayer game
that is my ONLY criticism for the game. There should be a very clear message in the menu And in the loading screen tips that the game unlocks more stuff if you keep playing..... which now that I say that out loud, when you think about singleplayer games with stories..... that's how it works and it's a given, so no wonder they dont say anything. It's like they expected people would want to keep playing to see more of the story, but honestly I too missed that there was a counter for the next cutscene (which also unlocks more maps and modes) until about 75% through the story
I noticed there wasn't much content at first, but I was also interested in the campaign and liked how the campaign was tied to multiplayer. Then, before I knew it, there were more game modes showing up.
Although I got it free on game pass so I wasn't all salty about the price. I'm sure that helped me stay optimistic.
@@MainGoldDragon What makes me laugh a lot with the people who complain that they didn't know they had to keep playing is in the introductory cut scenes they straight up tell you to keep running the missions and do what Leviathan says for now until we find something new. That's also when the bar to the next cut scene happens. During the story they even make jokes and talk about running the missions over and over for Leviathan being annoying/insane.
14:54 i guess we can now safely say that this issue has been alleviated as of the recent Season 3, where you can now see the exosuit's abilities from the hanger menu
Not a lot of people mention it, but I was coasting along watching the hype train as I waited for this to come out. I knew what it was, and I was genuinely excited for what it was. And Capcom did an absolutely horrid job of explaining what it was. So many people didn't know, there were questions everywhere, and the general state was confusion and a total apathy to do one's own research. And for goodness sake, with this hamstring already nipping the game...they came to a preview event with a "battlepass trailer." Instead of, you know, "Hey this is overwatch but with dinosaur killing before the player killing." As excited as I was for the game, I instantly saw that battlepass trailer and went "oh no this is going to be dead fast...am I going to waste $60 on it anyway..?" And I did and it was a ton of fun...but yeah. They messed this up real, real bad. Which is truly a shame because it's such a fun and good game. It just buries itself under it's problems and the absolutely concern-inducing furious drive of the devs/publisher to make this live service.
What kills me too is in many places I've looked (especially the hellhole that is Twitter), I just see either complete praise for the game or utter apathy for it and its devs. I also bought the game when it came out as the premise of A) fighting dinosaurs as well as massive hoards, & B) cool robots (w/ pilots inside) completely sold me, and then proceeded to pump a good 90-100ish hours into it on steam. While I'm taking a break from it right now with the intention to go back in once the MH collab drops, it's just a bit disheartening to me personally that people are in all kinds of camps about it. But I know what I bought into and what kind of place the game was going to end up in based on all the feedback people have been giving since the start.
@@Waffersforever I still hope they can turn it around but I doubt it.
I don't think they are putting in enough content to make this game worth playing for an entire 3 month season. They should make the seasons really short like Overwatch does or just give us way more content each season.
you absolutely nailed it. it's the same reason no mans sky suffered on release too
In the first trailer we've got time travel, dinosaurs and a redhead protagonist. A lot of us assumed that maybe a Dino Crisis reboot is in the works. A lot of us old fans were upset when it turned out to be an another online shooter
I came searching for this comment. Weird he didn't mention how they basically trolled an entire loyal fandom of one of their games for a campy multiplayer shooter.
Not even when he listed Capcom franchises and dodged Dino Crisis...
This! This!
I personally swore I'd never touch this game because of it. There is a very real demand for Dino Crisis to return, and as a result this felt like a slap in the face. Especially when it was confirmed a new Dino Crisis game was canceled pretty recently. I really feel like they took the remnants from that project and remolded assets they had to fit one of the newest trends.
@@ScanovatheCarnotaurus would you rather all that time and effort just *poof* gone with the wind?
@@marxxplaysgames This game feels like an insult so maybe
Had a grand time with the game, just felt like after I finished the story there wasn't enough to keep me interested, and the alpha variants (which were post launch content) just weren't enough
This, really enjoyed playing through and beating the story but after that it was straight crickets.
Heard you there man, but I loved the story and I was constantly surprised, when you first encounter 1000 of raptors thinking, well that was a surprise and then next time its thousands of flying ones and then thousands of ones falling from the sky, then there a giant mutant t-rex, giant evil exo dude and then giant robot mech its just, holy shit after holy shit, don't have that anymore now, still is fun tho.
In my opinion Exoprimals greatest issue was the replayability. I thought the rush to complete the pve sections to get a head start in the pvp section was really fun, and choosing the best exosuits to play based on my teams composition and the types of Dino’s that would be present (for example, Barrage is excellent for tanky dinos like ankylosaurus, meanwhile Kreiger is great for hordes of smaller dinos.). However once I completed the story (which I thought was great) and maxed out my favorite exosuits there wasn’t any reason to play the game. Sure there was the savage gauntlets which I think are really fun, but those are only for two days in a week, and when they’re the only postgame content it can get boring fast. I’ll definitely see if it’s worth it when the title updates are done, but until then there’s other games I’d rather be playing.
Thank You! This is exactly it!
I have hit max level and max suit level for this game. And I can safely say this has been the best multiplayer game I’ve played in so so long. It’s a shame the inevitable end it will receive but I am glad to have experienced it and I hope there will be more of it whether be a sequel or a new strategy to get more players. I’ll be there playing regardless until the future hits
It definitely sucks when you click with a game big time and don't mind the flaws that everyone else hates. At least when it's a multiplayer game.
People are just too obsessed with being good at a game and tie it to their enjoyment so when a game comes out that doesnt handhold them they get upset
I agree, Its actually been so much fun to play. Haven't revisited it in a couple months but I'm hoping the game sticks around and improves. It genuinely has so much potential and room for further improvements
My favorite game of 2023 and so far 2024! I love it !
I actually played a couple matches of exoprimal but only as Roadblock, I had a couple moments i thought was cool (and i liked the voice, it sounded like he was struggling a bit when the shield was about to go down)
but i was really in it for the PvE, and if exoprimal wasnt on gamepass, it would've been even more of a flop
edit: I did remember as roadblock actually tanking a dinosaur charging at me with my shield up as it pushes me back, and that. was. epic. I love that so much.
also a full price game with battle passes and microtransactions, I definitely would not have experienced without game pass, even now I wouldn't buy it myself though
ah I see you stopped a triceratops' charge! it's an awesome feeling. You should have tried more classes too though.
@MainGoldDragon it's a triceratops 😭
@@peterhiser7883 bruh aint no way I actually said rhinoceros 💀
fixed it
Someone in the Capcom office after Exo-pPrimal flops: Told you we should've gone with making Dino Crisis but, no, we need to make our own Overwatch.
Its not trying to be overwatch, so I don't get the comparison.
Something about the payload race mode is that, it used to be like what you wanted. The city payload mission had both teams start at the coastline and push up to the museum, resulting in a lot of Vigilant and Nimbus harrassing over the coast from atop their payloads, with stuff like Murasama and Zephyr rushing down to push them out from behind tank shields, and then more closer ranged skirmishes as they pass by the openings between the buildings. It was a lot more directly engaging, but then they just outright removed that varient? And then to add insult to injury, made it so that whatever team arrives second on it is forced to be on the coastline giving super easy access for the team ALREADY IN THE LEAD to rush over to their payload and do a cheese teamwipe with Roadblock or Nimbus ults.
The way you describe getting thrown into low level missions reminds me of how picking roulettes in XIV can have similar results, like you'd end up having to play through Sastasha or the Crystal Tower raids for the millionth time... except if roulettes were also the only way to access dungeons you just got, which sounds like a maaaaajor pain in the ass.
So it's a game for people who really, *REALLY* hate dinosaurs.
thanks for the Christmas present - this game seems really cool and refreshing, would be awesome to see another game like this just more fleshed out- though it is mostly unlikely:(
The "Live Service" thing feels kind of an afterthought, almost. Like this was designed to be a unique PvEvP-type game, with a cohesive story happening in the background, but Capcom got their executive grubby hands on it and added enough microtransactions and bonuses to muddle the meaning of the game.
In other news, remember what happened to Battleborn?
This was fantastic. This kind of video is why I subscribed. Even the overall references to Sonic Unleashed, likely because its another weird game with two very different modes smashed together and you don't actually understand how cool it is until you just play the game for a few dozen hours. Even the dinosaur joke you made at the end and the outro, man. Keep doing what you do man. Fan who used to live in Indiana
when you said dinosaur overwatch I was hoping you played as the dinosaurs in pvp,,, now im sad
well technically ONE person gets to play as the dinosaur
There is a game like that actually

but then i found out it doesn't have singleplayer/offline and it's a full price game with a battle pass and tons of things it begs you to buy. i feel like if this game succeeded, it would've been bad for future monster hunter games specifically
It's because we've got the hype af dinosaur souls-like coming -soon- at some point hopefully (It's DinoBlade) (Jean Nguyen on youtube has posted some updates)

Ex-fucking-splain
I appreciate and commend them for trying something new bc that's how new genres are born, the reality is not everything sticks but maybe now other developers will take elements from this game to create something in their game that will stick. Great video sir.
Yoo i just noticed the Thank You Scientist Vinyl, nice. Love your videos, well done as always
Da king is back baby he neva miss
Is that a Thank You Scientist album art i see behind you? What a chad
I was so unbelievably excited for this game until I saw it was online multiplayer only.
I started playing this game 3 days ago from Yakko's recommendation and i'm thoroughly enjoying it. I really hope more people get into this game cause it deserves a bigger player base. As mentioned its also free on xbox games pass and it is really surpising me at how much i enjoy the story and actually care about the characters a little bit. In reality i know no one is gonna read my message. But if you do, thank you. I hope you give the game a shot.
I played the game for over 130 hours and i still love it. Monster hunter Update is great!
I read it (:
Cheers to our extended bonus existence
I played for about 90hrs from release until late august (after the 2nd savage gauntlet event) in which I dropped the game due to not releasing any new gear/updates, then I recently got back to the game a few days ago and now its at season 3 and it feels kind of the same. I really enjoyed the game but grinding the game and having all upgrades and cosmetics before any updates to the game were going to drop kind of leaves you with nothing else to do.
That Vocal theme from Casey Edwards single handedly made this game memorable. God it’s a banger.
I played this on launch while i was recovering from a broken arm and I absolutely loved it. It was a blast to play.
I played it religiously and streamed it for about 2-3 weeks.
I would tell Capcom to keep the assets and maybe build something even cooler
Sometimes I wonder with these games how "easy" it would be to turn them into a decent singleplayer/co-op game.
Like a Dino Crisis lmao
Yakko video on Christmas Eve? Lets goooo!
Thank you for another great year of content!
13:02 Honestly Exoprimal is basically
''But instead it's just f*cking weird'' The game
I want to play now mainly because of Leviathan, he sounds amazing!
you get bored of it after earing 100 time, "summoning raptor"
I just subscribed to you purely on the fact that you have a Thank You Science vinyl hanging up and I respect it also your analysis of video games is good as well.
i like how we had the same brain wave here
"I want to love this game but i can't" like it's really cool game melee and gunplay is super smooth(it's really hard to balance the gun and melee to be this good) but damn this game is like shoot themselves in the foot huh
I played it .. was ok. Wish it was offline though, dynasty warriors but with dinosaurs...dinoysty warriors if you will.
Honestly, I love Exoprimal as a fun game I can turn my brain off for a couple of hours. I'm glad you had some fun with it too. I agree, it's not worth $60; but it's on gamepass where the majority of people play it on (which explains the terrible Stream numbers.) Even playing yesterday, matches always queued up quickly and I had very few bots (even with a Mangum mission.) Also, the bots are surprisingly competent. You bring up a lot of valid points and I can tell you really played into the game. I feel like it's just a game to have fun for a bit and then play something else and def not meant to always scratch that live service itch. I truly hope the game sticks around and I'm sure the MH collab and Neo Triceratops will breathe life back into the game. But as it is now, it's hanging in there.
Your videos are getting better :)
excellent, excellent analysis, yakko
I absolutely love this game, even the PVP side. I just feel like Capcom didn't really do a good job marketing it and it's suffering as a result.
You should try the game it's blatantly ripping off; Warframe!
They marketed it a surprising amount, they failed to tell people that the content they played the first hours was nowhere nearly the full amount of it.... and probably shortening that starting up period really.
@@danxol9588 This, they hiding the rest of the multiplayer modes behind pve progression is one of the dumbest design decisions I've seen. It's like popping a Halo game, going to the matchmaker and seeing only two gameplay modes are available only for the game to tell you that you first have to complete the campaign in order to unlock the rest. They alienated most of their playerbase because of that and they even didn't know there was more to the game because there wasn't a single prompt that stated that was the way to unlock more content.
If I were they I would have patched the game so all the pvp modes are available out of the box.
It’s not the marketing man, the game is a mess, it’s not a well made game, sure it has some fun moments and ideas but it’s not a good pvp or pve or pvevp game
I always tought the game was focused on the PVE experience, so when i tried it with few friend, and we understood the main gamemode was the PvP we just left the game.
We try the game few month ago when we learnt we could queue for the "PVE mode" only. But its was just a time trial against the enemy team we loose eevery hope we had.
But it was cool to play the big dino
It is PvE. Actually more so now.
yo the thumbnail was an instant eyecatcher, never before did a thumbnail catch my attention that fast - I laughed irl 😆 and watched the video as well lol.
This video made my Christmas even better.
I expected more PVE than PVP. It is a decent game at the core, but it has immense flaws that keeps it from succeeding.
Game looks really good though. I admit, I did play it on Gamepass, so I saved money on it. PVE raid moments really start kicking in after 10 hours or so.
Didn't have a lot of variety in game modes. It was a DPS check simulator in the end.
Did play really early. Don't know how it is now.
it is primarily pve tho...
I hadn't heard a thing about Exoprimal since it came out, and yea I would expect it to flop on reviews with how you said the game opens up with more you play since game journalist normally only play a couple of missions before giving a review and move on to the next game. All I heard was how the Dino Crisis community was in such a uproar that Capcom director Takuro Hiraoka had to state in a interview it wasn't apart of the Dino Crisis franchise and I stopped paying attention to the game when they announced that.
Don't know how I've never seen your vids before this one, excellent video 😊 you've earned my sub for sure!!
I think one of the absolute worse parts of this game is that despite making you sign in with a separate Capcom ID, It's never used for well, anything other than random matchmaking. You can't even party up cross-platform; which includes Steam and Gamepass being separate platforms.
It doesn't offer any form of cross-progression between platforms with the Capcom ID either, I had started in the very first day of the game with a friend. We played a few hours and enjoyed it. Next day they convinced someone else to try it out, but they bought it on steam, so both of us ended up having to redo that first day of progression over just to play as a small party.
At least they started with cross-platform matchmaking, otherwise that would have absolutely destroyed it out of the gate for PC, at least for Steam.
It's definitely fun, but they really messed up a number of key points like you pointed out that makes it a very weird experience. Mind you, not a bad experience, just weird.
Why'd it flop?
People wanted dino EDF, capcom gave them Overbotched.
Pure co-op and story would have been the way to go, it could have been a big deal.
Preach
"Yah know, the game has it's flaws but it sounds pretty fun if you're willing to look past it. Maybe I'll get some friends together and give it a sho-"
*$60 price tag*
No, absolutely not. This game can die.
Yeah, for a lot of folks its "You can have that F2P economy garbage, or you can charge full price, not both." and I generally agree with the sentiment.
4:20 Oh White Chocolate Charlie, how I've missed you.
If Exoprimal was a single player / offline game, I’d have been totally interested, but it being online only absolutely killed the idea for me, I’ve not even bothered giving it a proper look.
Exoprimal is good but the main issue isn't anything about the gameplay loop or pvp vs pve.
It's the lack of content. The alpha variants of suits weren't available on launch and there were like 3-4 maps.
Game have a decent amount of content which isn't well used by the game.
the real problem is the matchmaking put you almost every time in the same mission path and maps too many times in a row (take the first map and doing the exact same thing for the 5th for example) every single time a low level is in your match, and believe me, in season 1 was worse this type of saturation.
Aside of that, since launch we had 6 maps, as 1 added with season 2, but usually you just see 3 maps, especially the first 2, again, thanks to the matchmaking.
Obs: sorry for the bad text, hope it did turn out to understand better now.

@@devastatheseeker9967irony. Do you even grammar?
@@PeopleRTheProblem It's easier to understand what I wrote than what they did
@@PeopleRTheProblem Also it's Ironic to call out my grammar without capitalizing the first letter of your sentence too.
Everytime I see someone chill looking at this game, I ask them, "What do you think this could have become if it was a EDF like game?"
As a Overwatch fan, Dinosaur Nut, Singe player adventures, and coop...TAKE MY MONEY.
So listen, that ending gave me goosebumps, yeah, the guy with rose tinted sunglasses too, yakko ending this year with this video would be perfection
I actually enjoyed Exoprimal! I had 0 intention to buy but it was on gamepass. I expected 3 hours of fun before i'd delete it.
I ended up putting in a LOT more time tho. It's impressively well made. I actually loved PvP more than PvE, so i wish we had a mode just for PvP... (Even when you select PvP you always have to do PvE objectives first).
"you can see what your abilities do" ignores the training area that you can play even locked characters to get an idea for.
At the very least he's pretty much the only reviewer to actually beat the game XD
I mean hell even when you go I to the menu of one of the suits on the top right there's a clickable box
Thankfully Capcom has heard some of the issues that people have and have made some changes. Most notably in the upcoming season 4 update in mid April, you'll be able to create a lobby and play those special raid missions. You also get xp and campaign progress while doing it. Which is a big win and something they should of done a long time ago
I played this game for a few minutes to an hour but I never dedicated time to it. I got it on Game Pass so even though I was kind of excited it was just whatever to me. Your video tells me why I was interested in the first place but it also lets me know I probably don't need to go back anytime soon. I also have to thank you for pointing out that amazing theme song that I didn't hear my first time so now I get to add that to my playlist
It really sucks that nobody seems to be able to make a good dinosaur game that has staying power.
I love this game, one of the most fun and unique multyplayer games I have played. Looking forward to Season 3 and Season 4.
dinosaur tornado...a *dinado* if you will.
also you right, that track SLAPS thank you
Thank you for quality caption transcriptions, the auto generated ones leave much to be desired 💜
This game is one I found extremely fun to play but I was hoping to find the next EDF for me and my friends and the biggest issue is that I have gamepass and they don't. I played and had a good bit of fun on my own but without a consistent group, I tend to drop pvp games decently fast and even though I did play longer than I usually do, the progress to unlock new game modes is so slow that I unfortunately hardly reached most of them. Maybe I'll play again, but I just feel sad knowing that I will likely never see this game at full glory with my friends.
i played more than hundred hours in this game, loved it, loved the cheesyness, love the dynamic fights, love the exo design, shame that it did not fight theyr players
there's one thing you didn't acknowledge, during the pve sections of the game you can just go to the whole other end of the map and attack the enemy prematurely. most fun I had in this game
I love doing that with the chase missions.
Happy Holidays yakko ❤️🎄
I have being playing since launch and never had any wait time really getting into matches, I think it was an overall good game for what it tried to do
But, are they bots? Cuz when he q'd he got bot teammates
@@nailinthefashion no bots are clearly marked, I think I have only send bots when people quit early
@@sonofthefakegod thats so interesting. Do you see the same people a lot?
Not for $70
@@nailinthefashion From my experience of playing on launch and jumping back in for the SF collab, maybe a few times i think. I personally don't pay attention to usernames but wait times are definitely slower compared to launch but there was more players than I thought there was. I was still getting into lvl 1 player lobbies.
I was super tempted to get this game a while back when I saw the raptor cascade down the tower, then I looked at the steam player numbers and decided against it. If they game had more players, I would have definitely gotten it because this is totally my thing.
that's an L decision
Yakko, everytime: So Why do I like game? well its simple, Have you heard music?
*Montage to epic game soundtrack*
I was randomly recommended this, and I guess I'm glad the algorithm believes I'll watch a Weird Al lookalike go deep into interesting but unpopular games. Because I will
damn this looks fun... if this game were pve or free i would play it in a heartbeat.
Love the video, keep up the great content!
Or rather than just pve, if the pvp was actually worth it. as it is, it looks more like gambit where they there are too many fundamental issues with the pvp that it cant be balanced out.
You can cue for it to be only pve
The game is soo interesting, I wish more people played it :)
They would if it actually were soo interesting.
I have never in my life been sold a game to on its flaws. You are a genius yak. And then passing it off to the games soundtrack. You are wild.
I just want to say for some of the pay load missions , on some of the later missions in the game,they will have both of the payloads near each other aside from the end, for example on the lava map theres a payload mission that puts both team super close to each other at the start, same goes for a late game downtown payload mission where both payload’s are place relatively close to each other around the edge of the shore area and get closer around the 50-60% and honestly these are when payload hits it peak, thought i do wish they had this in earlier missions
God i remember exoprimal, I used to love the game (and the idea was incredibly interesting to me), it sucked that it was trying to be something it shouldn't been.
I have +100 Hours in this game and I find it a damn shame that the game's doing so poorly but I absolutely get why:
PvEvP is generally a weird balance to strike and thus far the pure PvE people were hoping for doesn't exist yet and thus far all the new Mechs we got are alternative versions of the regular ones, with more to come and no new original one in sight. I hope they miraculously manage to make a comeback, They planned cross invites and custom games by the over next Season (with the coming one starting January that adds MH crossover content like a new Map and even Rathalos as a boss) but I fear it might be too late by then.
It seems like a badly mismanaged game that had weird progression but a really cool story, a massively fun base gameplay but an odd system in terms of the PvEvP.
It's great but flawed and I wish it the best because damn: capcom cooked with this but they forgot the Bread and butter.
Also yeah Leviathan is hilarious in his delivery and me and my friend quote that mad AI every now and then.
I'm so excited that they announced you will be able to pick specific miaaions soon. I'm just gonna spam raid battles.
Every time yakko talks about the music i feel like all the kids from that bart simpson meme
Wow. Never thought I'd see the day where a proper multiplayer progression system was a negative.
Proper?
This game is criminally underrated and it deserves so much more. Its such a joy to play!
Yep 100% true
True, most hate comments I see are from people who either hate it just to hate it, or from people who didn't even really give it a chance (and by that I mean like, watch some lore and fight the first boss).
good video
merry christmas :)
Yakko not talking about the game's music until the last minute of the video... Almost got scared for a moment there.
Exoprimal failed because Capcom showed us dinosaurs and a red head… but it wasn’t a Dino Crisis remake in the RE engine
Showing TOTK footage while talking about life changing experiences is one of the best jokes I've ever seen.
Some of the PvE progression style reminds me of Resistance Fall of Man 2's online PvE. There were multiple campaigns that each had 5-6 parts, but what you matched into was random and based on all players' progression in the lobby. Amazing game tho, probably the most underrated FPS ever imo
holy shit i remember that mode god i would kill for a new Resistance game or remake
crazy me and my friends put hours into this game and never got to any of the cool stuff you showed. might be time to start it up again
