  • it is kind of a guilthy plesure for me

  • I love these kind of games,and i wonder why it's not popular it seems  to be very good

  • lol

  • i just don't get why people are mad when TB criticize a game... what do you expect from series that's called WTF is...it's his honest opinion you don't have to listen...dumbarse

  • @omataqo123 An honest critique even if it is harsh is 1 million times more useful than just commenting on the good. It points out the bad points which you can compare to other games of the genre, and can help you decide if you want to buy a game or not (rather than buy it and find out about the bad things yourself, making an unsatisfied customer) and a critical eye can help save games and game companies since the developers can take the critique and use it to better their product.

  • @PsychoStreakBrony that's what i said but shorter...hahahaha

  • @omataqo123 I was clearer

  • Future TB send me here

  • @TheDavino You're the one missing out...

  • wtf is Apox and u askin it? this my friend is game an strategy game...things going on future after apocalypse

  • you seem like a sore looser RTS player. Completely lost there with the skirmish. lol

  • "Graphic settings looks pretty awful, looks like a game that came out five years ago. not a good looking game at all" Are you nuts?? its a game dude not a whore..any good RTS players plays with low graphic settings anyway...why do you glittering glimmering lights in RTS man but ofcourse most RTS games have tons of lights flashing and flags waving on top of every unit.

  • @mutantlinks "Most good RTS players play at low graphics."

    Bullshit, low graphics makes it damn near impossible to see nukes in Starcraft. Why do you think we buy $700 graphics cards? So we can just throw hundreds of bucks down the drain for something that we'd barely even need? Who or what gave you the impression most good RTS players play at low graphics, EGIdrA?

  • OMG YOU BUILD STUFF!THEREFORE ITS A RIPOFF OF SIMS CITY

  • I think I never saw TB hate a game so much :P

  • @Sagramorbald Really? Then you should watch WTF Is... Burn Zombie Burn! from season 1, I had a good laugh on that one xD

  • If you like more realistic infantry combat I'd recommend taking a look at a really old game called Sudden Strike. 2001 is when the 2nd, and best, one came out. Little known because it's by a small German company but it's amazing if you like RTS. No base building, no picking and choosing reinforcements, no resources other than your units individual ammo. Its real strategy

  • Company of Heroes and Sudden Strike 2. Yes indeed, this is awful compared to any of those.

  • my god it use to be like 1 advert every 5 videos, then 2 adverts every 5 videos, now it's fukin 5 adverts EVERY 5 VIDEOS OMFG

  • @Falador321 Actually it is more like 7 ads over 5 videos because of ending ads.

  • TB said in an audio blog that the developers of this game (an indie dev from India) emailed him genuinely thanking him for the publicity. He said it made him feel really guilty, but it made him realize that he always needs to be brutally honest.

  • @killerkerara And one of the devs (Mark) trash talked TB on the forums saying he was "victimized" and told all his fans (all 59 of them apparently) to dislike the video... 

  • @StartledSloth

    As a Trash "fan", I find this to be disappointing. Link?

  • @RukifelthCreuz The Devs name is Mark.... heres the link forums.apoxgame.com/viewtopic.­php?f=4&t=250&sid=ac31ace29962­de8ed4fe89d4b99d8732

  • @ddsupa1 They split it. (youtube decides how much)

  • this game is...meh.....nothing special... the cool ideas even out the horrible graphics and gameplay.... I'd give it 5/10

  • Well i got this game i wont say its a waste of money it got a cool idea.

  • or its utube that makes the moola

  • wait so those ads make ppl who make the vid money????

  • This is bad. dont waste ur money .

  • Vondabar!!!!

  • damn fanta adds xI!!!

  • @Qwetzgreen why are you guys talking about adds? i don't get any!

  • @ThibautVDP YOU GET NO ADS DO YOU KNOW HOW MA NY ADS I SEE EVERYTIME I SEE A YOUTUBE VID LIKE 33455

  • @ddsupa1

    1. Get Chrome

    2. Download Addblock

    3. ???

    4. PROFIT!

  • @AtillaBosma That's nice if you want to deprive the people making these videos that you watch for free of money.

  • I was ABOUT to go to bed about an hour ago...

  • Wait there are game development teams in India? Mind=Blown!

  • if craw isn't toggle-able then why call it an option?

  • holy shit... the simon of gaming! O_O 

  • i want ur voice its amazing... NO HOMO

  • This game is Trash. Get it? TRASH!!! HAHAAHAHAHAHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA.

  • @MINICLIPGAMER hilarious assass :D

  • @sbzvln Get it? 2 asses :D

  • The balance.txt was easily modified and the file checker was easily bypassed, so modded games were fairly common.

    There were 8 maps, but each one was a template for a seed that generated new pathways and expansions each game.

    The community had its own little "Legends" personas of highly skilled players, which others aspired to beat.

    All in all, the original game had a quaint, retro and deeply immersive atmosphere despite the old graphics, and perhaps BECAUSE of the lack of music.

  • The game wasn't always like this. Apox had a predecessor called Trash, In Trash, online play was free, and you could play any map if at least one person in the room had full. there were two races, humans and mutants.

    The combat was largely vehicular raiding and mutant psychic upgrades, with 24 player games every weekend, and each person could field over a hundred fast moving units with stackable upgrades. The game was a little unbalanced, but fuck was it fun.

    Mark ffs. what have you done???

  • India ? God dammit. Why do my fellow countrymen insist on producing more comedy material for others? As if our posers, poverty and caste system weren't earning us enough scorn.

  • lol i just looked at the forum for this game XD everyone there calls this video a review and says he's destroying the games possible purchases. God you gotta love it when stupid people try to talk about things they think they know about

  • i had no idea about this game intill now and oh god you saved me $15 THAX! game looks like a turd

  • OMFG, FUCK YOUTUBE WITH THEIR FUCKING ADS!!!

  • @LFtruthUFO you'd rather pay for Youtube?? damn ok well suite yourself...

    imo the add that takes like 10 secs is not unbearable at all

  • Oh and also APOX forum fanboy's one of the things that i read was "oh well it dosent have my video view's" my answer to that is, the game is appalling and noone realy wants to actuly watch the gameplay of a shitty game.

  • The 56 Thumbs down are from the fan boys from APOX Forums lol ohhh was reading the reaction to this vid and all i have to say is /facepalm.

  • You seriously have to BUY the maps? That's really sad, actually.

  • I think its a good game.^^ I'm going to buy it soon.

  • I don't think the games that bad, I like the whole feel to it and the concepts it uses (lim. ammo, taking buildings), just needs refining.

  • hes like the avgn of pc games

  • 8:51 Could you please stop setting my stuff on fire!? That would be very much appreciated!

  • Im so tired of the Denim commercial :x

  • @meistermoxx What commercial, where?

  • The worst game ever made....

  • Does this have FPS features?

  • thank you for stopping me paying £5 on steam lol

  • HA HE SAID REVEIW

  • COH cme out 5 years ago and looks  better then pretty much any other RTS,so yeah

  • i get this game and it sucks big balls should have been a free game do not buy this game

  • shit

  • @Milasterz When did he say it was a review? This is a first impressions video.

  • i agree it has good ideas but bad execution its worse by the looks of it than soldiers of anarcy 2002 which is a prety good game

  • i was extremely sad about this game...

    it looked awesome as an idea.

    it had some cool initial stuff.

    the execution was just really really bad

  • game idea is cool

  • why are people saying this is ripoff of company of heroes? its nothing like it in any way! WTF PEOPLE just because its an rts doesnt mean its a ripoff of company of heroes

  • @cdguy47 lol if its a rip off of company of heroes then it may as well be a rip off of command and conquer and any rts with soldiers...

  • @cdguy47 people think THIS rips off COH? sometimes im just amazed of the stupidity of ppl these days its practicaly the same thing as with terraria and minecraft

  • @cdguy47 OMG "insert random name here" USES GUNS! THEREFORE IT'S A CALL OF DUTY RIPOFF!!

  • Alright.. after watching for awhile this just a god damn rip off of Company of Heroes, big time. fuck this game. its shit. no authenticity. pure BS. (not bothered people hating me, its the reality of this ripped off game.)

  • @bambinorobino its obvious that you havnt played any other rts game other than company of heroes, ALL rts games are similar to each other. I watched this and it really isnt a ripoff. for one thing company of heroes your main unit is infantry, since in this game you can select individual units, i assume that the battle style is closer to that of command and conquer,which by the way is a game series that has been out for MANY years before company of heroes.

  • @cdguy47 I agree, I played CaC from the beginning, I guess I over reacted about this game; just because it was too crap in every important way for an rts, thanks for speakin up.

  • Shitty rip off of Company of Heroes, thats wtf... No offense.

    Good job on making a new game somehow.

  • this is NOT a review

  • @Flaphink Where does it say this is a review?

  • @ultimatedude 12:20 - "I feel bad to buy this game just to review it" Just stating a point, not trying to judge anyone.

  • @ultimatedude in the tags LOL-TB you say this isnt a review but you put it in your tags

  • @ultimatedude in the tags

  • @MrVerysadpanda it also says preview...so which is it? o wait its a first impression video

  • @ultimatedude in the tags. trolololol

  • i got a shamwow commercial thumbs up if you did to

  • "Grinds my gears?" Nice.

  • Im sorry but tb is 100% right about this game I mean the mechanics seem rough. the game has a tough learning curve You have to buy maps, you have to stay online constantly. The texture is crap, the fact that units weapons can be broken is horrid. good in a fps or but rts no. Good idead But horrible excution of them, I mean but seriously the models are great but the textures suck!? Wtf?! I mean just add more detail to the ground I MEAN CMON!

  • hell, i can think of some 10 year rts's that have better sound quality.... starcraft :D

  • @MrMaxPwnage If you go down through the comments of this video it's the same thing but from the other point of view. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, when they start forming opinions about people they have never met over the internet it becomes kinda ridiculous...

  • Im talking about true match roler because it fits in EVERY crease.

  • Would you say that this game is A Pox upon games? Hehe...that was horrible.

  • APOX is actually a dubstep producer in Las Vegas who has been around for years. so you are FUCKIN WRONG BITCH

  • The talk on the APOX Forums is not only hilarious, it's downright disrespectful. I swear that half of those posters are around 3 years old.....

    If you want to see it, go

    forums [dot] apoxgame [dot] com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=250&si­d=f70b2f993c8359cef971b5163bde­b418

  • @Mimwing You're telling me that they are the ones being disrespectful? I like TotalHalibut but he is the one who is being disrespectful to the developers... You have no idea how much time they put into making that game...

  • @FadeTM he's allowed to voice his opinion.. the "wtf is" movies are first impression reviews and reviewing a game is about giving your honest opinion.. it doesn't matter if the developers put a year into making it or five years, if TB thinks it's a bad game it isn't 'disrespectful' for him to call it a bad game

  • @secularwin He calls the developers stupid. I really don't see what's disrespectful about them returning the favor. I have no dumb that they did indeed spend almost 5 years working on it probably around 10 hours a day. I doubt TB has that much dedication to anything. Most or all of his videos probably take no longer than 10 hours to record and edit. TB has no skills and his voice is the only reason he is at all popular. The developers of APOX are in fact smarter than he is.

  • @FadeTM dude the games shit, get over it and stop flaming someone who voices there opinion

  • @soarer205 I agree the game is shit but so are most indie games. I'm not saying TotalHalibut should not have given his opinion about the game but insulting the intelligence of the developer is very disrespectful.

  • @FadeTM why you so mad though?

  • @FadeTM What I mean is that these forum posters - not even having anything to do with the game's development - start insulting TotalHalibut in way that make no real sense. Instead of just calling him a bad reviewer, they feel the need to throw around groundless insults. I mean SRSLY? Some of those posts are plain stupid.

  • TB, I am a huge fan, I've listened to you for years, and whilst I occasionally disagree with you I always respect your opinions, if I felt you were a poor reviewer then I just wouldn't bother. Unfortunately I felt that this video lacked any kind of the professionalism that we are used to from you. You barely touched the gameplay at all, and spent the entire video criticising the sound and other unsubstatial things. I've never played APOX, but I learned nothing about it from this video.

  • Comment removed

  • @KodKodKat This video shows a whole lot. If you took his voice out and just had the game play in, it would benough. It looks like a piece of crap and looks boring as hell. s . P.S.= TB keep kicking ass.

  • Fuckin DRM...

  • ITS BAZAH!!!

  • I don't know if it's just me, but every 'WTF is' episode makes me want to buy the game he's showing -.- Well done TB

  • Act of war is the best rts ever and people who have too much health grinds my gears to ;)

  • I got a Shamwow advert D:

  • APOX is Trash.

  • the TL;DR, good concepts, poor execution

  • looks like somebody attempted to make a fallout tatics styled rts and failed quite bleeding epicaly seriously it takes 50 bullets to kill a single soldier?! WTF!?

  • i dont think you can buy this game without the internet anyways...

  • 720p fullscreen all the way

  • Out of all the british accents i've heard in my entire life, TB has the best.

  • @roman11777

    TB's is good, but I'll go for David Attenborough any day XD

  • @roman11777

    He seams like a suiper hero its awesome the first time I herd him I thout that he was facking his acsent!!!!....

  • @roman11777 same, and I live in the UK

  • @roman11777 simon lewis?

  • @roman11777 i agree

  • @roman11777 because he express it alot, there a moment then he lose all his sinicality or what ever xd and he sounds so calm for a second.

  • If you want a good rts, check out dawn if war: dark crusade, axis and allies, or world of nations.

  • i am the best trasher

  • you have to play to unlock cos you got killed in the first mission. 16 vs 16 you would get wiped out.

  • what kind of crappy review is this? the constant whining really bugs the hell out of me.

  • I played "Trash" the so-called alpha version of Apox even tho it was a totally different standalone game for 5 years, and now I played in Apox closed beta and open beta. The game quality is still questionable, but its an indie game, started from a garage by 2 guys basically. it has pros and cons but you should try and focus the game mechanics instead of graphics and sounds, which are easily improvable.

  • Wow, I've never seen someone so patently childish and impatient when pretending to 'review' a game. You start by mocking the tutorials for being useless then continue to play with utter lack of understanding of how anything works.

    At least pretend like you tried to play it before calling it out so obviously that you didn't.

  • @thesystemaddicts suck a dick

  • @thesystemaddicts

    he is not reviewing any games here. just a video of his FIRST playthrough combined with his thoughts about the game. so no "play it before" and no professionalism and no objectivism.

  • its like fallout tactics

  • Haha I love how defensive the game creator is! Telling people to thumb down the video ROFL NOT a good way to deal with criticism

  • I was actually hopeing for something better , but who knows after reviews or whatever they might patch it up to be better

  • one thing about this you say you cant play it without having an internet connection.. you cant buy it without an internet connection either since you buy it off Steam wich is yeah.. and online company that sells games and you download them

  • wana know a better game? Stalin vs the Martians!

  • Unfortunately I caught the plague... ugh I thought it was an FPS with an RTS commander like the mod Empires or something of that such...

    Ten bucks over STEAM, ten bucks... too many..

  • this guy is a whiny bitch.

  • The reaction to this video on the APOX forums is hilarious.

  • @atmaofstanza Truly hilarious xD

  • @atmaofstanza

    Oh man, these guys and every other fanboy cult ever!

  • @atmaofstanza link please couldn't find it in there

  • where can I download this game ?

  • @Oskar3216 From Steam,Steam is free,just google,but APOX is 15,00€ (I dont know how much it is in dollars,I live in Europe).

  • One sentence reminded me Family guy

  • BIZZAHRE

  • post apocalyptic rts..... that's like a whole new concept waow... ! -_-

  • I was acctually thinking of buying this game... but... i think i'll get some beer instead <:

  • @maniacstudio87 Good thinking

  • Now when you mention it, I have to agree. And when i finished watching the video I also have to agree that the game looks nothing but silly.

    I was about to buy it on steam but decided to watch a review first, I saw yours and guess what! You made me save 15 bucks for something better!

  • Am i the ONLY One to notice how badly this rips of "Trash" from Inhuman Games?

    Similar sound effects, damage number over enemy when taking hits, Seems like the same damn engine. and Trash was released several years ago >.>.

    Correct me if i'm wrong on any points.

  • @KainDelpher

    taken from the trash website see below that is why it's the same

    Trash is an indie RTS game with a unique design It features two races (humans and mutants). It has a 10 mission single player campaign and extensive multiplayer. Trash has an active multiplayer community. The lead designer for Trash also designed APOX, which is available on Steam.

  • @anorym

    Yes, Someone else sent me a PM about it, Thanks anyways for the response.

    And as i said to the first, I apologize for the misunderstanding.

  • BIZZAAAARRRR

  • the game is actually very good, if you give it a chance, yeah the tutorial missions suck, but the actual game is fun

  • I do not agree at all where you said that it's more realistic in CoH, because it's not and it's even worse when you compare this game to CoH. It takes YEEEEEEEEEARS to kill an infantry squad in CoH even with a fucking flame thrower CQC. lol

  • @Plankt0nify In CoH you have a squad with more than 1 person in each, you see the soldiers in your squad die off overtime while under fire. In this game instead of creating squads per production, you create 1 unit that acts like a tank, makes it look very silly.

  • Indie game from India, no way!

  • the sounds remind me of C&C Red Alert...ONE!

  • Stabby stabby! Ha ha ha.

  • Nice voice.

  • why do i see a Quebec ski place add before all your videos? lol

  • This is not the case game's.. EVER! lol

  • looks like a cheap copy of company of heroes..

  • Why do i see makeup adverts on all your vids :S

  • @willKayFX Because gamers are apparently the primarily target market for makeup products . . .

  • Hey Totalhalibut! You said you have played MoW quite a bit and I think its one of the best RTS game out there, even tho it have it flaws, and its really really underrated, maybe you should do a commentary? Would be great so it can get the attention it deserves!
