After waiting months for this game Iron Pineapple almost made me cancel my pre-order

[mephisto925]

I pre-ordered the game a while ago and have been watching almost every new video I find of absolver. So the game releases in 4 more days. I am very excited for the launch and really looking forward to playing the game.

I got on youtube today and saw a video that was posted up yesterday. It's called "The Absolver Experience" I clicked on it and heard some annoying person laughing as he play the game. He makes the game look bad and very glitchy. The way he is playing it makes the game look like a joke.

Between his annoying voice and the way that he is making the game look I seriously concidered canceling my pre-order.

I turned off the video and got on steam to post this thread on the forum. I'm not going to cancel my pre-order but I just wanted to share this in hopes that the developer's might be looking at the steam forums and read this. So that they know that the Iron Pinapple, someone who I assume they gave early access to, to promote their game. Almost made me cancel my pre-order and if I had not pre-ordered the game and only had ever seen his video of it I would have definitly not bought the game.

Youtubers did the same thing for me when it came to Slice, Dice and Rice. I was super hyped after the trailer, but the youtubers they gave it early to were so ♥♥♥♥ at the game and kept playing the same beginning of the story over and over that it really killed my interest. In that case, it DID cost them the sale.

those are not game-breaking bugs, and it's ok, he said he had a good time with the game and that he wants to keep playing it.
I had the same exact thoughts you have but he's just messing around, and I still have high hopes for the game, those bugs are just minor and probably rare, the video had also some "funny glitches montage" in it I guess.
Don't worry about it <:

Iron Pineapple left this comment on the video

"I've seen a few comments claiming I "made this game look like ♥♥♥♥", notably because I highlighted a few glitches. This is honestly baffling. It's almost like I've highlighted funny glitches in literally every game I've ever covered on this channel. I've really enjoyed this game, and I am continuing to enjoy it. That being said, even if I didn't like the game, it's not my responsibility to make this game look a certain way. This is a video for entertainment, it's not a review. It was simply my experience with the game, and I thought the video showcased me having fun."

I found that video to be hilarious and didnt make me think twice about pre ordering. I played in beta and know that this game has a great potential. For the rest it s all up to the devs to make it relevant

seeing him playing it made me confirm to preorder it, considering i follow all the big comedic dark soul youtubers seeing that kind of content is entertaining for me as every game has its funny little glitches. different strokes for different folks. The game has a certain element that reminded me of dark souls and watching him play it had me like...yea i gotta get this

I've watched the first 2 mins of that video and seen nothing surprising.

The opening showed 2 players getting caught by an unexpected friendly use of shockwave near a ledge and getting pushed off as a joke. This is friendly trolling of the kind you can avoid by not partying up with (or not trusting) random strangers. Given that you have both friends-only filter and offline modes available, this is fine. Also, that shockwave ability can be blocked if you expect it, which massively reduces the knockback.

Then his "first PvP experience" was 3 players teaming up against a miniboss, with no PvP at all. The maximum is 3 players in a zone, so 2v1 is your worst-case scenario in live gameplay.

From there it's just a ledging montage against NPCs. You can do plenty of things to avoid the same thing happening to you as a player.

I had the opposite effect, I want the game more because of this youtuber, It made me laugh, which means I can have a good time with the glitches and quarks in the game.

[mephisto925]

yeah I have no Idea who Iron Pinapple is. I don't usually watch his videos but the 3 or 4 minutes I did watch of his video made me never want to watch another.

[Poffle]

Iron pineapple has that sort of style for all of his videos, he will highlight funny and stupid ♥♥♥♥ that happens be it the games fault or not, don't take it to heart.

Well, I can understand what you're saying. Some particular persons on YouTube are cringeworthy to me and unpleasant to watch, that's understandable. However, I wouldn't go as far as evaluating a game by watching only one person which gaming and talking styles I dislike. I've enjoyed watching my favorite YouTube'er playing Absolver for 30 minutes or so.

That video was hilarious, but what got me scared was the fact he was able to spam attack many people successfully

He only managed to 3v1 because it was 3 players vs an AI miniboss. There's only 3 players to a zone, so 2v1 is the worst outnumbering you'll set up in the open world.

Pineapple is love, Pineapple is life
