Apparently this is Joe's first time playing CoH2, so as you can imagine, he is utterly dreadful at every aspect of the game. Regardless he seems to really enjoy himself for what little he plays

WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK...

Something else to note: He talks about the in-game store and the microtransactions within the game at the end of his video, and he criticizes Relic/Sega for including such a model.

IMO Angry Joe is an outstanding reviewer, but if you don't know AJ in advance, this particular show isn't going to convince you.

I didn't watch him play, but I *did* watch the ending with them ranting on the micro-transaction. I don't think it's going to have all that big of an impact on numbers of players honestly, the ending was a fizzle. As it should be.

Imagine if he'd known CoH2, waiting for the hotfix and experiencing the bugs and how long they are allowed to stick around. I don't think that would be pretty.

Ballsy of Relic and SEGA to ask AJ to mini-review. Could have been a lot worse.

None of this will be important when relic finally makes COH 2 into the f2p title they want it to be.

There's a reason microtransactions are in their current state and have not changed despite multiple petitions requesting them to do so. And honestly, if they are struggling for money as I think they are, it's the right move to do despite what I think will happen when they do it.

They aren't struggling for money. They have decent sales and with all the DLC stuff on top of that they probably aren't struggling.

They were struggling when they made it though an THQ was going under so that's probably a big reason why they did it in the first place though.

I really like Joe Vargas and appreciate the honest reviews he does,
Even if i don't agree with it sometimes he seems sincere.

However if Joe knew half of the BS that relic/sega has pulled the last
two years, I feel like it would incite a angry rant.

As a fan relic really let me down with coh2 as a whole.

Relic makes it very easy for people to criticize this game. It would also have been interesting to watch Angry Joe play against players with DLC commanders that have the Tiger Ace or the Crocodile.

Same stuff with all SEGA titles. DLC commanders are utter shit. Multiplayer content which affects your strategic possibilities should not be put behind a paywall.

Anyway, good to see the game getting some publicity where it matters.

Nothing wrong with skins as DLC.

Joe knows all about what Sega can do to games; you have only to watch his Rome 2 review to know that.

Watching him bumbling around was painful though.

SEGA, EA, Ubisoft, even Square Enix.

All of the "big players" go for what can leech most money and because it works and because players buy everything contrary to what 1% on forum screams it will only further go in that direction.

Why do you think all AAA games are littered with DLCs and micropays?
Why there is an avalanche of bad F2P games recently?
Why literally ALL of indie games are success?

People are willing to throw away money, players are lowering their standards and will buy anything and everything, when they have a feeling that extra money will help them win, they will go for it.

CoH2 isn't an exception here, we can either take what content they give us or quit gaming at all, because we won't change masses literally throwing money at shitty games and supporting shitty monetization decisions with their own wallets.

Guys you make it sound like you can`t get the items unless you buy them. At least they added warspoils that have a chance to drop the commanders so I don`t see a reason for all your hate about paid DLC.
Play some games and you might get a chance to get a commander....
You do realize they have to get money from somwhere to pay for the server hosting and people salaries. Money don`t just magically appear

That's not a bad thing though, skins are cosmetic and don't effect anything. For the most extreme example, the value of some knives in CS:GO is higher than $400 Steam market cap. It's the Commanders that people don't like being for sale.

27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.

adamírcz: So, I just got a leaver penalty without even getting onto the loading screen because of the game disconnecting, bravo Relic
14 Mar 2025, 10:45 AM
Rosbone: It is an indicator of the very short sighted capitalist view that plagues any company where leadership does not understand the product.
13 Mar 2025, 20:00 PM
Rosbone: They dont care about Coh3 or Coh in general. They are just trying to grab cash by ripping off the small user base they have.
13 Mar 2025, 19:58 PM
Rosbone: Just making mistake after mistake after mistake.
13 Mar 2025, 19:57 PM
Rosbone: It is clear they crapped out an unfinished game. And are now barely supporting it as they make new smaller games. Coh3 is stillborn. It will be meh for at least another 2-4 years. Meaning they killed the whole franchise instead of growing it.
13 Mar 2025, 19:56 PM
Rosbone: For a thing they could fix in minutes. Literally minutes.
13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM
Rosbone: If I did play coh3 and was mainly a skirmish player, I would be pissed and probably stop playing. And it has been like this since release. Why? I would not tell my friends to buy a game I am not even playing. Lost sales and angered users.
13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM
Rosbone: I am just saddened how Relic keeps hurting themselves by not fixing 5 minute things like menus. Why anger users with stuff that could be fixed in minutes???
13 Mar 2025, 19:50 PM
Rosbone: I was wondering why people think I was raging. I think it was when I said "because coh3 sucks so bad". That was not my opinion. Just a general feel from top players/streamers. I dont play Coh3 and have NO opinion of it.
13 Mar 2025, 19:48 PM
OKSpitfire: You can rage as often as you like btw, you usually manage to make it pretty funny.
12 Mar 2025, 11:18 AM
Rosbone: So it was a systemic failure across multiple disciplines and check points.
12 Mar 2025, 04:30 AM
Rosbone: Knowing how companies work, I imagine a new hire making the menus. The API they are using is complicated and things were hard to figure out. But at some point QA or management should have addressed these things. Usually within 6 months of starting.
12 Mar 2025, 04:29 AM
Rosbone: @theekvn I dont hate Coh3 or Relic. I just dont understand how you work on Coh3 for like 7 years and the menu system is worse than if a Programming 101 student made it. Feel free to explain it to me.
12 Mar 2025, 04:07 AM
theekvn: + 33% dmg rear hit was best deal ever.
12 Mar 2025, 04:00 AM

12 Mar 2025, 03:59 AM
theekvn: and please Rosbone,I know you hate Coh3 to the bone due to your drama with relic, Still, Can you give a proper point of view instead of raging ?.
12 Mar 2025, 03:54 AM
theekvn: you rather go 76 to unity Whizbang 2.0 or go home.
12 Mar 2025, 03:52 AM
theekvn: also US tier 4 is 145f and Sherman pen 140 nerf is too much.
12 Mar 2025, 03:52 AM
theekvn: Whizbang lock behind CP, meanwhile stuka is techtree progress
12 Mar 2025, 03:51 AM
KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.
07 Mar 2025, 19:14 PM
OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....
06 Mar 2025, 16:35 PM
aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?
06 Mar 2025, 13:33 PM
Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?
06 Mar 2025, 12:13 PM
OKSpitfire: A powerful, doctrinal unit that outperforms stock stuff? Colour me shocked! :P
06 Mar 2025, 10:49 AM
Willy Pete: Cool you wanna lose your stock lategame arty too then?
06 Mar 2025, 03:20 AM
Lady Xenarra: WTB Whizzbang for DAK instead of Stuka, 5 fuel cheape, 60MP more expensive and next to impossible to dive. :rofl:
05 Mar 2025, 20:27 PM
Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.
04 Mar 2025, 02:58 AM
Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.
04 Mar 2025, 02:55 AM
Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.
04 Mar 2025, 02:53 AM
