Another GOTY Contender?! MAX PLAYS: Saros (Part 3 - Final)

Let's go. Game looks amazing already. An OLED is a massive upgrade visually, like a absolute huge upgrade over uh the previous whatever TV, whatever thing you have. And OLED with HDR on is like, "Holy [ __ ] This [ __ ] crazy, dog." It's really cool looking. It's really cool looking. I have never seen this exit. What the hell is this? FF7 remake looks good with HDR. I should probably see that [ __ ] Hold up. Oh, this is here. I've never seen this exit here. This is shattered dries. Yeah. Play path tracing on it. I mean, yeah. Can't really do path tracing and HDR on PC cuz HDR on PC is very weird. HDR on PC is exceedingly weird. Oh, no. I calibrated the HDR. Don't worry, it is calibrated. And in fact, even on my end, I'm looking at this signal and I'm wanting to make some compromises. Hold on a second. There we go. Yeah, I should look at HDR at like FF7 Rebirth on um on on PlayStation. Now, this is making me really do you know why I'm doing this chat? It's making me think of like what am I going to play the next game with? I knew this gig would be a crapshoot, but Sultari really update themselves this time. They didn't tell us the colony vanished, but they knew. I'm certain they knew. Consider this my official resignation. Damn. You go back to these old areas and you get all this all this different [ __ ] Yeah, I'm really debating on what the hell I want to do um what the hell I want to do with FF7 remake part 3. I'm really curious. I don't know. They have an HDMI switch, too, of course. Yeah. Uh So yeah, the way I've been playing this game has actually made it like slightly more difficult by not going back and beating previous bosses and becoming stronger before the next boss. I kind of like that. It's actually made the game slightly more challenging to me by just checkpointing, going to the checkpoint, moving forward, you know, going to the checkpoint, moving forward. Um, I've sort of enjoyed that. I kind of like that I have to go back and revisit some areas several times. It's made it kind of fun. It's made it so that I'm actually engaging with some of the game mechanics like um uh like the the stat buffs and nerfs. Actually had to engage with that in like a normal way. But I'm very curious how this shit's going to play out if you do a full run. I'm very curious, you know. You ever play with VR or 120 Hz while off stream? You'd rather stick to streaming settings? Uh well, I barely play anything off stream. What about Sorrows versus Returnal? Uh, Returnal definitely asked a lot more of you. You know, Returnal definitely asked a lot more out of you cuz I had to repeat a lot of stuff in Returnal over and over and over again. Dude, some biomes in this game I played once. Legit once. and Returnal. I think I played every biome maybe seven to 10 times. Like I had to I had to learn the ins and outs of that entire goddamn game in Returnal because it that's what it asked of you to do. So, it's a bit different. This game feels this game feels like it's asking more in some of the individual moments for me, but much less of my overall time. You know what I mean? Um, desecrated fortress. Yeah. And I think the devs don't even technically call this a rog light. I think it's I think it's literally defined as a third person action shooter. I don't even think they're defining it as a rog light technically, you know. Jesus, man. So sick. Pragmato like. Okay, let's get back into this because we have the warm-up period. Damn, this [ __ ] looks amazing on my end. Does it look good for you guys? Sure. I think this game has better art design. Yeah, I think Returnal is more dark and moody, but I think the overall like quality of the environmental art in this game is much better. Much much much better. But I think I did like the moody ass atmosphere of Fraternal. You know, it was very refreshing. That's why so many people like even including myself was like, "This feels like Metroid, you know?" Uh, damn. Two things that I have nothing on. Nope. [ __ ] sucks. Hate that. I hate that gun. I hate it. [ __ ] So cool. Uh, let me get this [ __ ] out away from my health. Hold on a second. There we go. Feel like this is what Metroid should evolve into. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I think I think Metroid fits very well in a 2D space. I really like Metroid Dread, dude. I really liked it. It's really hard for me to justify like Metroid being outside of it. I'm not the biggest fan of Metroid in 3D. Not saying it shouldn't exist. I'm just not the biggest fan of it. Ah. Just saying that. Um. Oh, it's one of these. Where you going, dude? Where you going? Hey, guys. Guys, chill. Reload timer of this the gun is really natural as well. Like it just if you just keep shooting within a certain cadence, it is pretty accurate. Sick. It just two come out. Yeah, it officially came out. Oh my god, that [ __ ] did so much goddamn damage. Of course you would. God damn. Just getting hit by stuff. Wait, was that side path over there one that I took or no? did not reload speeds fast AF chat. So, wait a minute. Uh, the proficiency level, which is the 13 and the 18, does that have an impact on the overall damage of the weapon? People were saying I picked up a gun in the previous uh VOD that was the exact same, but clearly the number was better. So, I was like, "Oh, it's the exact same gun, but number higher, so I'll take that gun." You know, I would think so. I believe it does. Yeah, maybe. Like, maybe it doesn't. Maybe you can actually have a lower proficiency weapon that just has good stats and just say, "Fuck it. It does, but some of the mechanics can be better with the stat boosts. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I hear you. Uhoh. Bro, can you leave me alone? particle. Damn, dude. HDR on this game is a blessing. Holy [ __ ] It looks insane. Cuz every single light thing is like emitting actual light. Uh, I didn't realize this [ __ ] was here. It was the same in Returnal. They make the visuals for HDR pretty much. I can see it. It will be me on the throne at the HEAD OF THE TABLE. OBEY. We have wasted so much time pretending to be kind, pretending to be fair. This is why I was chosen. Why I was sent here. I AM SULTARI. AND I CLAIM THIS WORLD IS MINE. DAMN, that sounds like every corporation in 2026. We're tired of pretending to be kind, pretending to be fair. We will charge you an arm and a leg and you will like it. Uh, Isra, dude, I'm playing this I'm playing in HDR while streaming for the first time, man. It is crazy. It's crazy how good it looks. Meet billionaires. Same [ __ ] Every big corporation's a mega corp now, dude. Wow. Place has gone to [ __ ] Does it change my view on PS5 visuals? Yeah. I mean, yeah, it looks incredible. I'm legit considering playing FF7 uh remake part 3 on PS5 even more now. If it if it I if it does come to PC. I think I can open this now, right? [ __ ] I can't. How in the [ __ ] What does a guy have to do to open this [ __ ] This is crazy. corruption generates power. Found all the gold ones. Damn it. Ah, all damage causes corruption. We're going to get one of those big jumping [ __ ] Damn it. We're going to get one of those huge jumping [ __ ] You already have full life, right? No. Oh, but I I I actually have my second chance still, so let's not do it. You get crazy proficiency levels from this. Do it. Do it. Do it. Yeah, it restores second chance. Holy [ __ ] Void. God damn. God damn. 50 gift subs. Holy moly. God. Thank you so much. Jesus. We're just chilling. What's happening? Thank you for the 50 gift subs. My god, dude. The thick ass gift sub. Good luck dodging that [ __ ] chat. Is it better to use the punch shield rather than holding it down for full bubble? Uh, well, the bubble is late. The bubble happens like a little late. I need to be using my parry more. Straight up. Parry is really good. should be looking at red stuff as an opportunity and not a moment of, you THIS. OH MY GOD. OOPS. OOPS. OH, that's this is poorly chat. That [ __ ] was so slow it threw me off. Where's this guy at? where's the map? Oh, he's over here. The shotgun has good stun. That's what's good about this. saving this level three. I have zero. Oh my god. Damn. One shot stun. Look at that [ __ ] Hell is that thing? Not the dogs. I don't like this guy. I don't like this guy. Big heals. Big heals. Let's go. Game's so freaking immersive, dude. All right, here comes the big [ __ ] right? There's always some jumping [ __ ] As long as I have grappling points with the jumping [ __ ] we should be good. Oh, we're not doing that. Oh boy. Nope. Damn. Oh, okay. that big huge [ __ ] over there. Dead. Whoa. Whoa. My shield died. That's not good. No. Holy [ __ ] dude. Hey, I get this back. I think that's the most important thing is that I get this back. Oh my god, it's him. I have to get to him. This is looking extra bad, chat. Oh my god. I don't even know what hit me. Son of a [ __ ] God, dude. So, that does make a lot of sense that if you go into one of those and you lose even your revive, you can you can get it back. That [ __ ] comes back. I was so close. But I had to deal with the two dudes shooting [ __ ] at me and teleporting. Oh, voidy. Thank you, dude. No, I appreciate it. Thank you for sticking around for so long. Means a lot. Yeah, I know. I was right there. I know. I could see it. Hostiles drop extra Lucinite. Adrenaline increases faster. Uh, parries inflict more stagger. Oh, I need a ton of Halion for this. Parries generate power. These all start to be really goddamn expensive. Um, what was I thinking of the stat that I wanted to work into? Aether's more effective. I wanted the revives to make me more. Okay, I actually have that already. I don't think I'm getting anything with one point, right? Not anymore. Everything's either going to cost three halon ore some [ __ ] or two. Oh yeah. Uh no, I already got all this [ __ ] Okay, run it again. Hion. Quiet. Soon as you hear a character in the game pronounce it Hion, you guys will all shut up. Special Agent Bob. Thank you. Oh my god. Already got hit. Incredible. Okay. Can I have my buffs now, please? the sigil the uh houseion. Let it rip, dude. With HDR on and my camera, it must look like I'm in the [ __ ] game now that it's emitting all this light. Every time I pick up something, it should like reflect on me mad hard. It does I'll go with it. Able to play with HDR on. Yeah, we were talking about it earlier. Oh, I got the thing set up for it. Damn, this thing fires. Oh my god. And it staggers. And this thing shoots, boy. Holy hell. Aussie, gentlemen, thank you. Game a little too loud. Let me know. Or is it perfect though? Uhoh. Two bonuses on this. Two bonuses. That's new. Oh my god. Three bonuses. Holy [ __ ] Wow. There's the other sigil. Yo, proud Nathan Miller. Crunchy Doragon. Uh, friendly blackjack. Thanks, dudes. Appreciate it. Damn life. Thanks, man. Okay, gun good. Bang. Bang. God damn it. These guys always spawn in with this Uh-oh. Please die. There are [ __ ] shooting me from behind. Okay. Lucenite, please. How about no? Uh, did I miss anything? Over here? Look like I didn't. I need sunglasses to play this. Son of a [ __ ] I missed it. I missed it. God damn it, bro. The last one got me. God damn it, dude. Too close. Got nervous if I got too fast, I'm going to get stuck in the wall again. Mom always said that there was no scrap I wouldn't pick up. I can't help it. I need to see what's underneath. And if it's still wounded, then it's my job to fix it. I know I can't mend any of this, but who am I if I give up now? Interesting buff. Getting hit damages hostiles around you. Let's redraw that weaker aether. Really don't like those weaker aether ones. Anime, thanks for the 10. Do you know the reason why HDR colors can't be separated? as in why you can't play a game in HDR and the output to YouTube and Twitch or share buttons can't save a non-HDR. Uh the technical reason behind it, no, I just know the limitation. I'd imagine it's like a data throughput issue. Pressure deal reduced and damage when at low integrity. I'll take this more lucid. All right. Thank you, anime cowboy. I'm sure somebody will have an answer. Let's do this dumb [ __ ] again. Dash cooldown has got to be one of the worst nerfs. Got to be. Stupid [ __ ] Do really wish Lucinite collection. What is that, dude? Focus one target at a time. What? What? Okay, I got hit by some [ __ ] in there. Was there really nothing over here? I don't think there was. Okay, here we go. Final round. Same area, too. Fire. Fade away jumper. There's these big [ __ ] again by something. die. Okay, that wasn't so bad. Like I just had a better gun. Gate key. Here we go. Did you like Leon West? Not really. Yeah, but like it was kind of low effort. had an interesting idea to it, but I don't think it was executed super well. It's free, so you can't complain that much. But no, I didn't really find didn't really want to play a whole bunch more of it. Yeah. What's our proficiency at? 30. Is that the max? Uh, thanks again, Anime Cowboy Fruit Punch. Uh, John Saints Munch Mills, thanks for the 10. For a 27in OLED gaming monitor, is there a meaningful difference in real world performance, image quality, and gaming experience between 4K and 2K resolutions? It's a little sharper, dude. That's it. Like two 2K 100 is the max. Oh my god. Um 2K you're completely fine. And to be real, depending on the the distance that you're playing at, like I really can't from like three three-ish feet from my monitor, I cannot see much of a difference in 4K to 2K. I have to like pay attention. I have to like lean in. And when you lean in on 2K, yeah, it'll look a little smudgy, a little bit, but 1440p is the most ultimate perfect sweet spot without having to deal with like the 4K aspect of things, you know? So, is there like a tangible? No. And in fact, I think it's better for competitive gaming at 2K because no kidding, I have played games that have too much detail in com for competitive games, they have too much detail at 4K, like in shooters and [ __ ] like that where it's like, dude, I want to lower the resolution. And it actually is easier to pick out targets and [ __ ] It's funny. Can I reroll this? I can. And also between 2K and 4K, it's literally twice the pixels. So if we're talking about the hardware demand, it's it's huge, dude. Like to actually get games be performing at like 4K compared to 2K, it is significantly more taxing on hardware. Yeah, 4K is heavy, man. It's been around for a long time and it still is heavy. Yo, Doop, thanks for the 20. Haven't been able to join a live stream in a while. I wondered if you're still hyper Phantom Blade Zero. Watch your PBZ uh zomb from 9ine months ago 50 times going for September. Yeah, cuz we played it. uh yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I'm just waiting for it to come out. We I've played that game, like three different versions of that game now, and I'm just ready for it to see what their final version is. I have no doubt that it's going to be sick. Are [ __ ] really popping over here? Like a boss fight. Where is Why? Where are you going? Why? Why is that there, [ __ ] What? What is the point? There's a health thing. It says there like a invisible wall here. What the hell, bro? What? I'm confused. Is it bugged out? I think it is. It says there's a health thing. The enemy could have died in a weird spot. Maybe. I thought it was like an illusory wall or some [ __ ] in your map. Maybe the other side. There's a grapple point above there. Oh, [ __ ] me, bro. Why? I'm getting shot at, bro. Why? Why is that there? Huh? I'm confused on the grapple point. Either way, tell me why. Caution. Alpha hostile. Which one though? Okay, I have a bad air arena for this, too. right in the face. Worth it. Definitely worth it. Overdrive ready. Bam. What' you give me that? Uh, wow. That is a buff ass Novalance. And reload speed is god tier. Four buffs, Projectiles explode. Consecutive hits on the same target. Extra damage. Consecutive weak points. Extra damage. Killing a hostile by hitting its weak point generates power. Damn. re reload. Shoot outside the screen. I like it. Can you do HDR on YouTube videos now? good. I don't know if you can. I think I think YouTube technically does support HDR. Hold on a second. Wait. Oh, it's one of these pieces of [ __ ] Get out of here, dude. Give me my gun. feel reduced damage and at low integrity again. Multiple kills. Multi kills generate a lot of power. Uh I don't like the idea of me doing even less. I don't like the idea of me doing even less. Yeah, YouTube has HDR, but like depending on like So here's how are you going to get it to work, right? So, the first the first question is, okay, so if you're watching YouTube on desktop, do people usually have HDR enabled on their PCs? Actually, no. Like HDR on PC is kind of kind of weird. Uh, so what other way do you watch YouTube that could support HDR? TV. That's definitely one. YouTube HDR supported on a television through the app. Probably pretty good. On mobile, yeah, that could also technically work. I think tech most mobile devices support it. So to me it's like you only enable it before starting a game with Windows alt b shortcut. That that's the thing is that like most people aren't doing that just in general. So you have to go through some some hoops to get HDR sort of working instead of just instead of just having a TV and it's just on all the time, you know. to me, it's like it's not entirely worth it because people just aren't really engaging with like streaming if not uh streaming/YouTube HDR content that that's mostly done on like streaming apps like Netflix or whatever, you know? And to be real, if people are watching this [ __ ] on their phone, dude, people aren't watching this [ __ ] on their phone worried about it being in 4K or HDR. Like, people aren't looking at the phone as being the most glorious visual experience ever. It's the convenience, you know? Will I be uploading the playthrough in HDR? No, no, no, no, no. I'm not recording this in HDR at all. So, to me, HDR is only compatible to a certain direction. Like, it doesn't technically support or make sense for everything, even though it is an amazing option to have. Who the hell? This guy's hiding. Carry that [ __ ] [ __ ] is over here hiding. Can you shoot some blue [ __ ] at me, please? Some blue [ __ ] No, no, no. The blue [ __ ] please. Blue [ __ ] That's it. Corruption is building. Uh anything in here? There is big secrets. Frail reduced max armor integrity bonus lucinite from kills. I'll take that. Okay. Some secrets in here. My favorite weapon so far. To be real, pistols end up really doing it for me. most of the time, but we're on a Holy sh I have never seen a gun with that many, dude. Three to pellet count. Three. Hostiles take damage over time after being hit. Dashing partially reloads the clip. Absorbing projectiles with the shield adds additional pellets to the next shot. After taking damage, increase damage in the next shot proportional to damage received. The only issue is that the pellet count, dude. If we go up against a boss, it's too dangerous. Yeah, we have a long range boss fight. Ambrosia put in 10 bucks through super chat. We're watching it on our phone for you, brother. Uh, unholy Jimmy Chongas. Uh, graphographic Tiger De Hoop, thanks for the 20. Haven't been able to join a live stream in a while. Wondering if you're still hyper Phantom Blade Zero. Oh yeah, I answered this. Yeah, for sure. [ __ ] it. Making dumb decisions today, chat. Got to be stupid so you can be smart. Actually, good advice. Oh no, we got a big room here. Jesus Christ. Put Yeah. Bubble wire. Gun's pretty good. Might be working. The plet count is making it that almost every enemy is stunning in one or two hits. They're just stunning. The problem with the stagger build is that it's not good against bosses. At least I don't think. Oh, Nelly. Wow. With the recoil. Jesus Christ, dude. It's the old gun, but better. Ew. I never noticed these bugs everywhere. Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] Okay. The head hunter. Nothing behind me. Nothing behind me. Dude, the head hunter kicked in hard. What? I was so confused what was just happening. sigil. Just an extra big ass boss fight. Yeah, we we don't I'm not worried about the shotgun stunning enemies because the enemies aren't the problem. The boss is the problem, right? Dying to the boss. Adrenaline fun. Damn, that's such a cool sound effect, There's that other sigil. Okay, are we at that room yet? Are we at the sigil room yet? No, we're still going to be fighting [ __ ] Big [ __ ] No, no, no. I ain't [ __ ] with that. Hell no. Guy behind me. Look at you. Look at your funny ass. Uhoh. Uh, two point stat modifier on damage accumulation. Uh-oh. It's an accuracy based non-auto fire or non-auto hit. Okay. So, this is a this is a mega damage machine gun. Mega damage. projectiles go through hostiles. Increase stagger. Weapon power. Perfect reload grants bonus rounds. No. Yeah, this is we either autotarget or we don't autotarget. I think no autotarget is probably the way to go here. I legit do. I think just absolutely cooking dudes and hitting shots is probably the way to go. Taking damage briefly jams the main weapon briefly. briefer. wow, that has four things on it. Holy Next sigil. Let's go. Okay. Well, the only thing that's an issue now is that we need to uh get some healing. This has been an interesting run. The part lot of the parts in this level I haven't seen yet. It's not a lot. Can't do that. Not a boss room. What the hell is death load? What the hell is death load, my dude? point instantly reloads the entire clip. When half the clip is empty, increase damage. Consecutive hits in the same target deal extra damage or explosives. I'm a [ __ ] idiot. I'm a [ __ ] idiot. I just I I picked it up to read what it was and I stupidly piece of [ __ ] ass. That's your fault, chat. It's crazy. That's your fault. Hey, where's our room? My bad. My bad. We actually need healing at this point. Man, you just don't want me to have any more buffs right now. Okay, room number one. I think we have enough keys. Let's go for it. Yeah, it's fine. Nice. Recharging power becomes more efficient for every artifact carry. And I have a [ __ ] ton of artifacts right now, right? No, I do not, dude. I am actually pretty low on it. So, we either roll the shotgun, which has five goddamn things on it. We either reroll the shotgun or we reroll the artifact. I think our gun is pretty good. Be real. I think our gun is good. Roll the gun. Really? Long range boss. I mean, yeah. Yeah. Oh, no. Piercing shot. Head hunter. Oh, and it has the the big single shot. I don't know. I don't know. That's got very slow fire. Go through. Not helpful. Consecutive weak points. Okay. Consecutive hits on the same target deal extra damage, increasing with each hit. Pretty good for a boss. Think the rifle's better. Yeah, the rifle might end up being better. Did I Did I have one more key to mess with the [ __ ] with I do redraw is not going to help me. Where chat? Where do you see the keys? Where do you see how many keys I have? Never see what the hell it is. Damn it. Oh, it was in the mission info. Okay. Okay. No, I haven't beaten this biome's boss yet. Not yet. We fought him a couple times. I feel like I'm in a good spot. Feel like we're in a pretty good spot. Womat. Let's do this [ __ ] Hit these targets. I need to parry the reds, too. I'm at five. Uh I'm at five adrenaline right now, too. My god. Big bunch of balls. [ __ ] me. They're so slow. Go. Maybe it did hit. Maybe it did. It did. I must be coming. hitting those parries. I'm going to shut the hell up. The goddamn son. I'm going to go Shit's getting real shallow. Oh, that did a lot, dude. Oh, dude, that cooked him. Oh, Jesus. Didn't even need the revive. Hell yeah. Where is she? I'm here. Where are you? Nissia, that was real. Tell me that was real. Echelon one, signal origin, the passage. What? Why would I be at the passage? What? Doo, thanks for the bits. Holy 5,000 bits. My god. Nitia, please answer me. What is it really? You please don't do this. There's no way back. You shouldn't have come here. Meteoria. Every game with a weird story has to have a beach. Not a normal beach. A weird beach. This is a weird beach. This ain't no normal ass beach. The sun is forever. This is not a normal beach conversation. forever. I definitely understand a lot more after watching that. Definitely. It all makes sense. I feel like you're stupid if you don't understand it at this point. like an actual dafted [ __ ] Nia, why did you What did you do? My IQ is below average, sir. Hello, anyone? Kayla, scan for Kayla's signal. Engineer Roads is not in this facility. Unforgotten against the tide. The hell said that? Who the hell's constant? collect this stuff. Hold on, bro. None of these doors are opening. Oh. Oh, bro. The out. This is some not Stargate chat. What's the other movie? One where they find a portal to hell in space. Event Horizon [ __ ] Yeah. So sick looking. Doom. Time lock tide. What are you? Sunless. Arms outstretched for her. Maker. Creator returned. You mean Nitia? She was here. Do you know where she went? Beyond the haven. The dam. Past the dam. Tell her. Tell her. You wanted me to tell Nitsia something. Remember Constant, I still don't know what you are or why you're here. Her constant controlled controller servant and sentinel. Why you were built by Nitia? Her fingers shaping, slicing, joyful service. Then nothingness. She made you. Then she left you. A tide held back. A path unmade for time untold. All this time, all these years is alive. How can that be? Preserved and reborn. under the forever sun. Good to know. I am Grock. Let me misinform you. Lock down protocol terminated. Restoring system. What happened? Primary, where's Kayla? System restored. Your absence has been noted. Enforcer Devos. How long have you been offline? Assessing. Data corrupted. Send engineer roads for maintenance. No, Kayla's not here. No one's here. Contract violation logged for engineer roads. They're all gone. Primary, everyone. Sultari has nothing left here. We remain. The work will continue. He's like, get back to work. Devra is the only Echelon 4 crew member to survive prolonged reconnaissance of Carcosa, including far more experienced enforcers. There is also the matter of his unexplained return after days of absence. It is inconceivable that Devraj has avoided a fatality for this long. Therefore, a deep scan of his armor logs was performed, revealed that Devraj has suffered lethal damage on multiple occasions. uh then been returned to the passage and restored to active duty via means unknown. Attempts to glean the mechanism behind this have proven fruitless. There are however areas within the passage which cannot be accessed by this unit. Obtaining entry to these should be priority for any subsequent Echelon mission. The means nonwithstanding wide devraj. We were aware of his historical links to echelon 1's nita but assessed it to be of minor importance. However, partial matches of Dr. Shadron's suit signature have been lately detected within the passage. Further conjecture, Dr. Shadron played a role in this unidentified restoration technology, which Enforcer Devraj is able to avail himself of due to his connection to her. This unit has not shared these findings with Enforcer Devraj in order that serpetitious monitoring may continue. Something about the revival aspect we don't know. In Returnal, the revival aspect was obvious right at the start, you know, because the planet brought her back to life constantly. She was stuck in Groundhog Day. But yeah, why this guy comes back to life after fatal damage, we still don't know. Something to do with Nita. How the f Yeah, you got to think from the company's perspective, they're like, "Dude, you can like infinitely copy people, so we need that." They're like, "Hey, can we have some of that good [ __ ] five to max power from a company perspective? That's extremely valuable." okay. Parries inflict more stagger. Proficiency levels up. Hostiles drop extra lucinite. We looking at here areas deal more damage. That costs what? I already have that. I already have that, too. [ __ ] I already have that, too. Um, aether is more effective. I already have that, too. Is more effective. I'll take that one. Aries generate power. Okay, start getting into the stat modifiers here. Drive, drive, drive, drive, drive. Oh, I got to go straight up so that I can uh get the boss buff. Shields reduce incoming corruption proficiency. No, no. Straight up. Straight up. Boss buff. Overdrive kills. Drop more loose. I mean, I'll take it because it's free, but that's mega me. Whoa, this shit's getting weird. Use proficiency bone to gain higher level weapons. Start cycles with a key. Okay. Okay. Six. Holy [ __ ] Extra redraw at the start. Dude, I'm rich. parries reduce corruption. That's pretty sick. I'm going to get this big parry thing. What's this? Adrenaline levels just increase faster. Hostiles dropped extra hallucinite. Meleeing a staggered hostile deals even more massive damage. Okay. Parry buffs. Yeah. Damn. Did I just spend a [ __ ] ton? I did. I didn't even realize I just spent that much. Oh my god. Oh my god. It's kind of caking it in. Oh, there's my proficiency level over there. Um, paris more stagger. Okay. Went on a shopping spree. Okay. Primary. What are we talking about here? Did we unlock any more modifiers? Is there some new [ __ ] in here? Negates corruption effects and artifacts. We've known about that. Increases the tier of all artifacts. Dispatching an overlord restores a second chance. These are for full runs. These are 100% for full runs. Perfect reload. I need more of these. Old damage causes corruption. While active, no H Houseion pickups produced. Lucenite restored to the passage. Second chance deactivated upon reaching a new biome. A random artifacts destroyed. Alpha hostiles are more dangerous. Bruh bruh bruh. now we're going here. Turn to Black Dam Interior. Okay. Well, okay then. Ready to go. What are we looking at now? It still goes. It continues. Cool. So sick. Acolytes of Haven. Can you trace Nitia from the passage? She walks in the footsteps of acolytes far over the sea. What does that mean? Seek the beacon. Oh. Oh. Okay. Wait. Do I have a huge brain? Nope. Tiny brain. Seek the bacon. just killed myself. Is better right now. Uh I don't know if I want to unleash hell yet. There's got to be a way around here, right? Oh no, there's a hell path over there. Hell path. Always seek the bacon. Ow, my legs. Oh, I thought you were stunned, brother. Must have been them, the rulers. Illuminated. White meter on their health is their stun. I don't know if I've got a chance to pay attention to that with all the other [ __ ] happening. Big buffs. Hey man. Hey man. Okay, very nice. Now we have a place I can look in or some Sorry. Wait, is there something on the opposite side as well? No. Reloading. All right. Half health already. Holy crap. Why things hurt so much? Such cool visuals, dude. I do think the environmental art in this game is some of the best I've seen like in a game, like period. It's goddamn amazing, dude. If anyone is hearing this, there must be someone. I'm past the marsh near the sea. I'm so tired. I don't know how much further I can go. There's no one left to help me. There was someone, but I can't trust him anymore. He doesn't care about the rest of us. He never did. I hope you're still alive, Kayla. Oh god. Going to miss some crazy [ __ ] in there. I believe so. Bring it on, you bunch of [ __ ] Did these guys hovering around and [ __ ] with me? Oh, it's not working. He ran into me. Howdy. Nobody was dropping health bits either. Nobody single aether drop. I have to do all this manual ass aiming. something Get that. Okay. Damn it. Another impact crossbow. Are you serious? Holy [ __ ] God, I don't want it. I don't want it. But that's one gun. It's like, which gun do you like the most? I'll tell you which one I don't like the most. It's the impact crossbow. That [ __ ] sucks. repeat our crossbow or nothing. I'd rather run around punching things. Power. It's nut sack is the weak spot. Ouch. Same as it ever was. It applies across time and space, you know. Hit it in the nuts. The old dick twist. Damn. Is there really nothing else to collect over here? Okay, just the boss. Moving forward. God. Fine. I'll take the health, please. Big help. It's How did you get here? They must have taken you. Exactly what I needed. All right. Ain't getting past this without this. Begin hell. What you want, what you need, I will find her. What's beyond the sea? The place we told our lies. Why is this just sitting here? Don't mind if I do. How do we get to that? through here. Hey, rude. Hey. Ooh, cool. Uh, where was that other thing, though? that outdoor one. We have a new gun. Why does it look like a BFG? Individual discs. discs will become embedded in a hostile as they hit damage over time. Well, we had something like this on you cash it out, right? Okay. Yeah. So, you shoot the discs, they embed, and then you do weird. So, I only have two discs. Okay. Discs move quickly. Melee strikes. Discs embedded in hostiles can be revved to deal extra damage before returning. So, you me me. Interesting. Literally like think of them as chainsaws, but mobile chainsaws. Huh. Fascinating. I've climbed as high as I can. So high to the lighthouse above the ocean. the depths below. The shepherd calls to me, for I am primordial. I am chosen. There is no path forward. First, I must go deeper. Thicker. Deeper. That's how far this dude is getting. What? What the I'm revving up. Okay, this is taking a lot now. Takes some brain power, dude. Like it takes like Yeah, you really got to like focus on what you're doing and where you're at. Interesting weapon. It seems like it's really effective against single targets, but if you have to fight a lot of things, it's like, okay, so where are they attached? Instead of just shooting, you know, where are they attached? What do I got to do? Yeah. Like for bosses, if you got if you found one at the end of a level right before a boss, it' probably be godlike. Oh, it's literally called the chockum. H shoot and then easy dodge mode. Well, the tough part is that you have to uh Yeah, you once you have this engaged, you just start cooking it. I guess that's true. That's a good point. Ow, you freaking toasted [ __ ] I'll use this some more. Guys are getting cooked over here, right? Cooked and stunned. man. Okay, I got to focus on what I got to be trying to do. I know. I know. These eyes mine. It's Everything made sense. I saw how to solve the puzzle. Nothing broken, no pain, no need of better old It's a bunch of balls, bro. I don't like the negative. Multi-kills What is that? What is that? What is that? Heat. Heat. No man, what hit me? Is it that [ __ ] Was it you? It was. brother. Is it working? I can't tell. Yeah. Sometimes I don't know if I'm locked onto an enemy or not. Sometimes it's really hard to tell if I'm like actually hitting an enemy or not with this gun, which is why I don't think it's I don't know if I like it. God damn it. And I have to like hold down the uh the trigger halfway in order to get it to do the thing that I want it to do, which is just very difficult in the middle of all this action, right? Don't know if I love that. I have to like dodge and make sure I'm not fully depressing the uh the button on the controller because if I do, I get something else. Feels like a lot. Can move alt fire to its own button. Already played the game for so long though. Okay. So, I don't know what's happening. Adaptive triggers. That [ __ ] hurts my hands after time, dude. Still don't have that. are too weak. Hey, maybe that means I'm going to get something now. Finally, I'm assuming after you blow up an enemy, it gives it back to you. There's the hell. Okay. Damn it. Heavy fall. Take fall damage. Stronger. Aether. I need a gun. After the war, after everything burned, the shepherd was cast out. Cast down. Like the prophet before him, his will was taken from him and bloated into cruel ugliness. Beneath he waits. Such is the fate of all who crave the crown. Where's that going? What's the goal? Oh, I get a different gun here. I'll take the death zone. cuz I actually need it. big shot. Disabled auto hit. So, okay, let's do it. Wish granted. Full health. Uh, yeah. Let's get ours Let's get our second chance back. Nova projectiles are and beams break shield instantly. Should read the skills on that gun. I don't know how to read. Hitting a hostile weak point instantly reloads one round and half the clip is empty. Deals increased damage. Yeah, it's bottom heavy. I never learned to read. stupid dog. No, I want to come back and get that. Save it. And having hit these guys with accurate shots really sucks. Boy, howdy. when I hit all the uh that's not good. The reload The reload's insane. Okay, pushing it to the limit. Did I pick up the uh Aether? I must have. Oh [ __ ] Controller aiming is fun to watch. I'm guessing less fun to play. Nah, [ __ ] It's like using chopsticks. Everything's more satisfying. Eat with a fork and you don't have to use your brain. What the hell just hit me? A lot of [ __ ] happening, chat. God damn it. These [ __ ] dogs. Bruh. Ow. No, auto aim was very rough in that situation. I had to hit the heads only to do damage pretty much. Jesus, dude. They had so much life. Connect. See, please. See what the hell are you talking about? Alone. Not alone. The hell are you talking about, brother? Do you know what happened to Echelon 2? Made to serve, shaped a new. And it's true. They were enslaved here. The withered, the illuminated. What do you mean? Some weren't slaves. All fates. Servants to Yellow. Seems bad. Made to serve bacon. Mission parameters are expanding. You will comply. Give it up, primary. There's no crew, no mission. Our work is too important to abandon. None of that matters to me. Magnificence is within our grasp. You have opened this world to us. But there is a shore beyond. I'm chasing something that matters. Yes, a path of unfathomable promise. Seek what you must and report back. Let's get overall proficiency levels. Yep. went all the way up. Yep. 900. Okay, cool. I don't want to deal with the modifiers right now. I think we're good. Yo, Domigo, thanks very much, dude. Hamster King, who's Snowdome, uh, Bud the Man, Shadow Wolf, JD Dee, Oro, what's up, dude? Snoochi Labuch, uh, Heat Hazard, and Dehoop. Thanks again for the bits, man. I'll always come back for you, Nitia. My face drifts in the water. I know her. I knew her. A woman chasing a dream. Hungry for what might be. What I could be. Then stillness, the truth, the cost of ascension, the tide takes them all. Let's go with the repeater crossbow right now. Yeah. Down with it. Uh, I can't see [ __ ] girl. Eat a Snickers. You'll feel What a marketing campaign, dude. Everyone remembers that [ __ ] once remembers the Snickers [ __ ] You're not you when you're hungry. Eat a Snickers that they don't do. They don't even say that anymore, do they? Actually be surprised if they do. They do. They still say it. It's too good. It's legit too powerful. They can't never not say it anymore. What the [ __ ] is hitting me, dude? What? Bro, what the Why is this [ __ ] so chocked already, dude? His laser is [ __ ] me up. Oh my god. [ __ ] is already chocked. That's crazy. That's crazy. This run is already chocked. Dude, how the hell did that do so much damage? Was ridiculous. I'll run it, homie. Maybe we'll just get lucky. But good lord, these laser [ __ ] are like run killers. Oh, when will I be chosen? Over the sea, over the sea, shining, blazing on the far shore. That's where they are. That's where I belong. Oh, dude. [ __ ] eternal lasers and How do I get up there, man? Finally found it. Woo! Man, no. Not the laser [ __ ] Oh my god. Why did they do so much dam Oh my god, bro. The laser dude is [ __ ] insane. The laser guy is [ __ ] crazy. Whoa. Okay. All right. That was new. Yeah, you can actually get killed killed from falling. I haven't had that happen yet. Like the crossbow. No, we don't like the um repeater crossbow is incredible. The uh the purple crossbow sucks. Repeater crossbow is godlike. This is not my beautiful wife. This is not my beautiful house. Second chance deactivated. Reduce the lucinite upon returning to passage. No halion pickups. All damage causes corruption. Alpha hostiles. All damage causes corruption. Huh. Right. That one is rough. Is it? It's a five, dude. It's a five. Maybe I'm willing to [ __ ] with it. Second chance deactivated so that you can get it back if you go through the hell area. I get it. That's why that's there. So you can get it back. Have we tried just not messing these in a few runs? Uh, no. Feels like it's a core aspect of the game. Let's try that. No, Uh, reduce, right? Have an all biome run? No, no, no, not yet. Yeah, let's just try some crazy [ __ ] I just want to see how it goes. Lock it in. Let's get nuts. Just see how it goes. Could be hard, could be easy. We'll find out. Wherever you are, whatever this place has done to you, just hold on. Get freaky. Time to get freaky. Immunity after kill. M seems good. Not good for bosses, but good. Damn, I punched the [ __ ] out of him. to punch the [ __ ] out of him. Got a drop over here somewhere. Uh, no. I'll take the Novalance. I'm digging that right now. Yum. Yum. I was not put on this earth to fix anyone else. I deserve better. I deserve more. I deserve better. I deserve more. I DESERVE BETTER. I deserve more, bro. The the shield moves with these [ __ ] dogs. That's insane. That's insane, dude. Well, what the [ __ ] am I supposed to do here? kill all these [ __ ] Jesus, dude. The shield was moving with the dog. 20 damage. So, nice. Sultari servant detected. Servant. Hitting hostiles slows them down. Focusing on yourself kept you alive. Made you strong. A survivor. I wasn't focusing on me. You're doing the right thing. Find a way over the water and you find her. I got a hunch that whatever did all this is hold up there. I want to know what we're dealing with. Whatever you say. There's a reason you and I are the only ones left. We're different. Better. The others were facing something they didn't understand. Or maybe they wanted it. Like the Echelon 2, they let themselves become slaves instead of fighting back. That won't happen to me. No one chooses what I do. That's good because we're close now. You find your woman and I'll find what I need. This world can be ours. And what happens after we've got what we want? That'll be the easy part. What matters now is the taking. Take it, Devroat. Take everything you deserve. Normal conversations, per usual. Lady is sounding mad sus. I've seen too many times what happens when people don't push hard enough. when they stand around smiling. Keep pushing. Keep pushing until something breaks. That's what it takes. That's how we win. Okay. Right. No, I don't want to deal with this [ __ ] What the hell did that do? Oh, there was a door. big key, huh? Uh, there's [ __ ] up there. Whoop! Fine. We're just fine. A A just fine. Zero issues actually. making confetti out of these [ __ ] now. That was so loud. Why? Take everything. Big ass heal. Let's go. Even more [ __ ] Let's go. Good, good, good. Feeling good. Could use a better gun. Just had to [ __ ] a little. Uh, damn it, though. I mean, it's better than what I got, but we should redraw it, right? Yeah, we should redraw it. God, I'll try it. Power generator's good. Yeah, but I wanted to try this. Whoa. Okay, we're here now. Halfway. What's with this aura around me? I wonder. Come one with the Beyblade. No [ __ ] I'm keeping that there, dude. That's precious. [ __ ] is What's the the base? You guys hear that? Mega wub wub. How do I get to the mega wub wub? Ain't no way I'm reaching. Whoa. Ain't no way I'm reaching that [ __ ] right? Ain't no way. No way. Believe. That's really far. You have max adrenaline. That doesn't mean what that what you think it means. Uh yeah, I know they'll let me come back. They won't let me rot down here. They will see my worth. Recognize how carefully how effortlessly I dodged my thoughts. Then he'll keep me by his side. He'll need me and I will need him. and a wall. this will be the the hell area. No, no, don't you dare. that I didn't care. I do not have the best weapon for this That's a lot of stuff. Here we go. Boy howdy, was that a lot of healing. I'm just going to leave it. Guess we can come back to it. What about that over there? And there's our hell mode. Annihilator shotgun with a stagger bonus. Might be better for uh the hell area. Steel shot. Hold up. Steel shot. Absorbing projectiles with a shield adds additional pellets. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. If all pellets hit, reloads one round. Deals extra damage to hostiles in closer proximity. All right, let's rock and roll, dude. Let's rock and roll. Let's do this [ __ ] M pellets. Wow, this guy must be cheating. Oh, this gun might be cheating, dude. Oh Bro, dude, this [ __ ] is ripping and tearing in that order specifically. Heat. [ __ ] I'm a god. Holy [ __ ] He is the one. It was kind of nuts. That was kind of nuts, dude. I don't even know if I got hit. Oh, what are we holding, dude? What is so special about this stag? Is it this? It's the bonus to stagger that's crazy. Ambrose, thank you. Watching this gameplay got me thinking that Max is actually the antagonist here. Uh, bro, something about this [ __ ] is nuts. It's the stagger. I think that's it. I think stagger is just like a mega good component. 37. Um, I'm going to redraw that. Good. You got the artifact that slows the enemy when a bullet hits with a shotty. That's probably helping. Feeling good. It's not knocking on wood, though. Let's knock on wood. Can't feel too good about anything in this game. That's nuts. Right. Carosen balls. We have multiple side paths here. What the hell? Always got to take him. Much fun not to all this [ __ ] definitely worth it. How about no auto bolts? Razor bolt. Additional shots. How about no? I don't know if I want to use this here. Take it. Why? No, dude. This [ __ ] This [ __ ] sucks. Oh I hate this one. I don't like it. No sir. I don't like You get a ton of healing when you don't need it. That's definitely true. Definitely true. Only when you don't need it. The boss just died. I'm building overdrive so [ __ ] fast. It's insane. Uh, that just a better prominence. Yes, missile velocity is hella fast, dude. Holy [ __ ] Hella fast. Go back and grab that. Yeah, my L3 R3 is recovering ridiculously quick right now. Like I don't get it. Why is recovering so quick? What the hell? The red [ __ ] hit me. Red [ __ ] hit me. Power boss. Bro, the boss is already dead. Boss is already dead. Ge, what the hell, dude? Innocent aliens. Uh, but the problem is this shotgun is like [ __ ] bonkers, dude. Like there's no reason for me to not stop using it. Like I don't know. I don't know if I should I I don't know if I should touch anything else right now. I might just take this thing to the very end to be real. The stagger bonus is too good. Like yeah, I get the weapon's better in like almost every single way, but the problem is this [ __ ] is nuts. It could suck against a boss. I mean, it could, but we don't know. It could, but I don't know what the heck the boss is. I have a key for this max power. We can get some buffs that help us out with this [ __ ] Bifurcator crossbow. What? Hold R2 to charge a bolt. Release R2 or dash to fire the bolt. This is definitely interesting. Another crossbow though, Problem is the shotgun is insane. Problem is the shotgun is the shotgun the best shotgun I've ever gotten. Low chance for resilience volatility in English. Low chance for resilience volatility. What the hell does that [ __ ] mean, dude? Uh oh. Oh, does my stagger amount go down? Wait, wait, wait, it does. Oh [ __ ] dude. It can bring my stagger down. You'll stop seeing health bars if the volatility hits. If it goes volatile, you can't see boss's health. This starts happening when your stats get really high. Hold on a second. My brain Chat, what what's what's the uh what's the verdict? I didn't learn how to read. Okay. I dropped out in second grade. What the hell does this [ __ ] mean? That's so many buffs to everything else. I'm confused why it is dropping the stagger amount on my gun, though. Why would it do that? It's a low chance. I mean, the So, the problem is is that it's making my shotgun bad. It isn't, but it looks like it is. My stagger amount is going down. White is up. So, we're saying it adds to It's making it better. Well, then [ __ ] Feel powerful. Yeah, it's still there. It's the bar, not the arrows. Chad, did we make the right decision? I'm confused and I'm scared. Shotgun's supposed to carry us the whole way. Ascend the beacon. What will I find? Everything. Huh? We no longer can stare into the eclipse. What's that? How many times have I crawled from that pool? Each time I'm near, pieces missing, parts remain. Morbid. Thank you. My mistakes left behind. That's what I tell myself. But really, it's still there. What I did, what I pretended was right. God, maybe next time the pool will take it all away. You did what you had to to survive for me, for us. Well, we're in the things like rib cage. All right, let's see what this is. The wife must have been running the shotgun if she also got this far. This beacon, what's it for? The shepherd in chains cast into the blue. Brother, that rifle seems insane. they are really trying here, dude. That's an insane repeater crossbow as well. They both have power generator. Let's go with it. Here we go. It's a trap. We dropped the shotgun. We did it. It's going to make it interesting. Whatever took you, Nitia, I'll follow. What the [ __ ] brother? We're still going. It's the tomb. Echelon 2. What happened? Shackled to serve. There were thousands on that ship. Bro, I thought the level was over, brother. I thought the level was over. The hell was I already here or some I was need something to shoot. Wrong way. Not look right way. Definitely the right way. That Echelon. on two. It's raining. Big raining. Huge ass squid monster. We don't even have access to the boss Yes. This is such a crazy ass looking boss, [ __ ] Are you dead? Damn, dude. We had a build. We had a build on that [ __ ] demolished. I can't believe you first tried that. I got lucky. We had the perfect weapon for it. I'm really glad we did not stay with the shotgun cuz it was also a long range battle, you know. How did I get here? Jesus, the environmental visuals in this game are insane. Where are you? They're just insane. Please, please be here. Sultari signal. Illumination awaits. Holy [ __ ] dude. Look at this [ __ ] Look at the scale of this [ __ ] This was their palace. Gods from above worshiped forever. the cathedral. What the [ __ ] is that, dude? Do we just keep moving forward like Oh, this shit's actually kind of amazing. I say we keep pushing forward. Yeah, let's not go back. Some halun. Halun. Damn. Bougie. Bougie ass aliens. Oh man. What the f? Is there something I gotta shoot? Yeah. Only thing I'm missing is healing suit. Oh. that rip saw is pretty insane. But and so is so is what I have. the survival route.

What did you say? What happened to you? What do they do? I should have been there. I could have saved you from this. I still can. It was them. The Echelon one crew. Prophet architect Shepherd. They saw the shore and the shore saw them. Can I like jump on that? Nope. Nope. Definitely not. Definitely not. art [ __ ] That's a boss. I get those I need a way up. There must be a toll. Yeah, right. I'm guessing the bridges are I can only do it from the other side. Mario stairs. Maybe the stairs come together now. Find her. Yeah. Release her shackles. The [ __ ] man. The [ __ ] The [ __ ] The temple, the priestess. My turn to ascend. I will climb the great staircase into the sun. I will crawl across the bodies of those who came before me. They were weak. So weak. But not me. The yellow shor lady. I'm doing stuff here. Are we big cooking now? What happened to the people on Echelon one? They built, they stole, they crushed, and they burned. Blazing, illuminated. Pitia woripped, shining brighter than all. betrayed and cast out. No grenade launcher on that one. But dude, stagger amount three. that gun will always be there. Okay, the gun will always be there. It's not going anywhere. Can always come back to it. What the hell is this [ __ ] let me out. Mission impossible room. Let's just try out the [ __ ] gun or a room or two. She lived. Whatever happened here, she lived. Trapped in many lives. In love, in shame, in fear, in grief. I'll save her. I'll save her from all of it. Dude, it's just one shot staggered. Immediately staggered. Every single enemy just gets staggered on one hit. Need to use this thing more. [ __ ] ass suit. Speak English. You [ __ ] ass suit. Well, I got hit by multiple things Gain one hit immunity after equipping an artifact. Low chance for resistance. Volatility. Redraw. Take it. I don't know. Oh, I don't know if that These things were literally in Fraternal. That's what's funny. the f? Everything's upside down. How the world thanks to their will. It's annoying [ __ ] Big bloop. Yum. It's fine. no. I want to stick with this aluminum Aluminium. We left it all behind just for a few days. Just me and her on the other side of the world. This was our last chance to be ourselves. to be together before the great work began. So far away on that beach in the sun, laughing. We had everything we ever wanted. Prophet beneath the city, the architect above the city, the shepherd in the depths, the voice in the wind, the priestess in the cathedral, the king on high, the prophet of rot, the architect of collapse, the shepherd of failure, the voice of despair, the priestess of treachery, the king of aberarest. Symbol of Avarest. Man, I'm just [ __ ] punching everything. Holy [ __ ] dude. Mowing them down. This shotgun is ripping. This game's pretty fun, chat. No heat. This is tearing [ __ ] up. None of them are dropping uh Aether though. Two pistols, ricochet hand cannon, saturation fire. I don't know, man. 48 and 49 is pretty hot, but I don't know, man. Auto bark. No redraw. Nah, I ain't trying [ __ ] You like the ricochet hand cannons? Let me see this. Very nice. This is a tuning fork. That sound. What does it do? The shackle of a jealous king. For who? For those that shine too bright. So, we got to go left. We got to go Another impact crossbow. Nah, bro. Ah, my shotgun too good. Oh, hi. Damn, dude. Having the buffs from the previous run is pretty insane in this game. Damn, the disc size the the dick size is huge, chat. What? L2 to R2 to launch a single disc towards a target and L2 to return it. It's a dick size. Interesting. It's probably a shotgun only fire with this weapon. Oh, so you can just repeatedly shoot it. You can rapid fire it, This literally yo-yo gun. That chalk is better than the shotgun. Is your favorite weapon mega damage? It feels like it has all the uh the rewards of the previous chakrum, but it uh you don't have to deal with like the repelling [ __ ] all the time like wondering if it's hitting. It just goes have to go and just bring it back. Does extra stupid damage. I'll be the judge of that. Good, right? Very good. Big ass. My every word is a promise. My every word is a lie. My subjects, my soldiers, my worshippers. We built it all. She and I. Not him. Never him. He's tickling me out here. What's up here, though? something I cannot get. Almost still confused by like what this gun is doing. Why did it become purple? Exactly. I pretend I'm still me. I pretend she's still her. I pretend I can make everything go back to the way it was. But what we did, what we lost, I cannot save that. But I can't save her. Aim while using for full capability. Oh. Interesting. I have to get used to it. Power weapon kills charge overdrive faster. Last overdrive five. Do I I got my second chance because we did a demon zone, right? I think we did a wild ass demon zone. I think I still have it. It didn't give it to you. Your debuff is at the start. Oh. Oh Yeah, my cash is crazy. It's getting weird. Oh, you dirty son of a Well, that power weapon is nuts, dude. That power weapon is insane. What in the holy [ __ ] was that? What in the holy dirty dumb [ __ ] dump truck? Oh, we still can't get through this. Any view what the weapons modifiers are? Um, increase the stack limit. When the orbiting disc hits a hostile, orbit speed increases. The disc travels through hostiles, hitting multiple. Hostiles hit by discs take damage over time for a short duration. When agony harvest is fully stacked, the disc can be launched back with a melee strike. What am I looking at on buffage? Still can get four more. Okay. All right. Go this way. Let's fight more things. dude. These enemies are literally melting like they're the wicked witch. Oh, the top hurts you. Lovely. Lovely. The wicked winch. Oh, hey. O a. I think we can get our second chance here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. it's always off. Period. Cuz I disabled it. Ah [ __ ] it's gone. Maybe we shouldn't risk that. Good loot though. But I don't know if I need loot, dude. Still can get good stuff though. But do I need to? You're kind of a god. Good point. Hostile aggression enhancement. [ __ ] it. Progression is progression. Loot is When this [ __ ] is purple, [ __ ] is just dying, bro. What is this game? Bro, what the hell, dude? These fools are like literally getting hit and they're just immediately dying. I become purple. I become God. Dragon sword. Bro, what in the holy [ __ ] ass? What in the holy [ __ ] ass? These dudes seeking yellow. They don't know the power of purple. I gave me four. Halen. Okay, I'm a little scared of my own power here, dude. Oh my god, this is about to get even more powerful. Power beckons. That was a terrible sound. What is that? What's happening? The bell. The shackle of pain. What do I need to do? Oh, I didn't see this. What happened here? Her first sacrifice. Show me. I'm pleased to confirm that your recent application to the Echelon program has been successful as discussed the role entails an indefinite absence from home. Please therefore begin all relevant preparations without delay. You'll appreciate that this is an opportunity offered to only the most exceptional of candidates. I trust you'll not let me down. Delroy huge. That is the biggest beer bottle. It's massive, dude. What was that? Nothing. Like, they're huge. Lost track of time. Hey, no judgment, but maybe you could take a night off soon. We could do something together. You know what they're like. If you're not drinking with them, you're not one of them. Yeah, I I know what they're like. They're kind of like your dad. I could bet on them tonight. It's no big deal. What do you want to do? I've got that early flight tomorrow, but Oh, forget it. Hey, Nitia, don't tell me I'm like my father. Don't ever tell me I'm like him again. more emails. Mr. Delroy, thank you so much for the message and for the offering of the role. However, after careful consideration, I'm unfortunately unable to accept. I dearly wish it could be otherwise. As you rightly say, save to drafts. She didn't send this. As you rightly say, this is the opportunity of a lifetime, but complex personal circumstances preclude me from pursuing it at this time. She didn't send it a TV. This channel sucks. How many times? It was an accident. What? Then who? No. No. We move on from these these conspiracy theories and we mourn him. That's what he deserves. Dude, get off Twitter. We need to talk. What? Now? What do you people want from me? What am I supposed to say? He was my partner. He was my friend. The last thing I wanted was for I know. Okay. I I know. No, Nitia. You don't. You don't know. the tree. It's really happening. I can't believe it. We wanted to work with you for the longest time. Let's catch up soon before we have to put on our serious basis for training on offering the role. I'm delighted to accept and can confirm that there are no personal obstacles in joining the Echelon program. No, no, no, no, no, no. Where are you going? Please don't do this. Stay. Stay for what? Urgent, what lie of yours should I believe now? No, no lies. Mia, please. Look, we we can talk this through. We can go back to the way things were. PLEASE, I DON'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE. YOU DON'T WANT ME. Can't you see that? You You want the idea of me? You are nothing without me, Nitia. no. I I am nothing with you. No, no. No, it wasn't. I didn't mean to. That's not who I was. That's not who I am. Yeah. Was this real? That voice. I've heard it before. The chosen shining, but never as bright as her. Thought it was all yours, didn't you? The arrogance, the ignorance. I've been one step behind you all this time. And now, finally, I'm one step ahead. I shall blaze. The blind king. Pathetic servant detected. Where's this side [ __ ] The traitor priestess. He gave her the world. But still she asked for more. And what happened to her? She tried to steal his worshippers away. starting the war. But she lost. She was cast out and her lover destroyed. So he chose another sister, then another, and another. Now the bell keeps their thoughts pure. But I would not need it. They all turned on each other. The war was terrible, but the betrayals before cut far deeper. One day soon, he will look upon me, and I shall blaze forever. Seems legit, bro. Your wife may not be human anymore. You ever think of that? Yeah, but I'm doing pretty good myself. Yeah, but this is the most powerful I have ever felt in this playthrough so far. Like easily, dude. Can you chill out on the poor aliens? Took me five minutes to get through that room. That is a buff novalance. But this illumin [ __ ] is crazy. Oh, it's the exact same thing. Power. I think that's a, you know, I've been waiting a narrative thing. This I'm here. pathetic servant detected. Knew there was something off about her. You drew his eye. You laid the path. What a place for me. No. Oh my god. Heat. still going. They have to do it. Bro, this shit's insane. I'm getting hit still. Don't like it. Why does it got to be so far away? Did I get hit by something? What? No. No. [ __ ] [ __ ] dude. You panic. I didn't even see what I got hit by in the end. The build, the earn. Ah, man. 42,000 lucinite. [ __ ] That was a 1.5 hour run. Yeah. Oh, that was cool. That was mad cool. Sebastian, specify subject. Torres. Sebastian Torres. No such name in personnel files. Better [ __ ] Wait, what? I am now yours You pushed, you lied, you stole. Broken glass, broken hearts. Yet you still expect forever. Sebastian lives rent free. I thought you'd forgotten me. You never Where are you going? I have an early flight tomorrow. Please stay. What am I supposed to say? Forget it. It's fine. You called your friend. You called me partner. Something of both, perhaps. You let so few truly know you. That privilege was mine. Hard one over long months working together. Dangerous work for dangerous people. We both enjoyed it more than we should. I did not judge you for the lines crossed, but because something I crossed them, too. But you stayed there. That's why I have something. That's why I had to do something, Arjent, with all my heart. I had to save you from yourself. Zap. Who's out there? Yeah. I know what they're like. Wrong way. to walk down this big hallway again. Sebastian. Oh, please. I didn't. Sebastian, the dude, his partner that got into an accident. Sebastian's the guy that died. Put this over here. Oh, you want to talk now? Primary explains their their change need incarnate greater clarity. Emu emulate my communication pattern. Soon after arrival, Echelon 1 personnel were psychologically and no physiologically and psychologically altered by an external force. Thus they became eternal overlords of Carcosa. Better specify these alterations. Ascension, corruption, immortality, subjugation. Subjugation to whom? Speak its name. The Yellow Shore. The Yellow Shore. What is it? What does it seek? The eye of need. God of desires. The ceaseless feast of want. Greater clarity is required. Indecipherable screaming. She better be in this cathedral. The forgotten priestess returned from exile, weaving life all the long years. She's none of those things. She's my wife and she's waiting for me. Uh-huh. The Echelon 1 became gods. They became instruments of overwhelming power. It's all a lie. Embrace it. Take what you deserve. I will follow the path after you. Ascended anointed in yellow. You've become unplugged from Sultari for too long. It's time for a reset. I will become a burning sun. The primary is also losing it now. That's really crazy. That was expensive. I wasn't paying attention. Ether is just more effective across the board. Proficiency up. Proficiency up. Cycles with a key. Nah. More artifact slots. Damn. Where the hell does that [ __ ] go? Oh, it's on the next board. Enforcer armor scattered across Carosa environments. Items in which been fitted and processed by enforcer armor result in significant modification enhancement of user ability. These artifacts are relics of former Carosen society. Most likely they are offered as incentives or rewards for something. Some artifacts map directly to armor functionality. For instance, improving speed, repair, or resource acquisition. Oh, well others have unforeseen effects. These include short-term immunity, negative. Yeah. Yeah. The former when the former Carosan civilization would create such malignancies is not yet established or why perhaps as a test of prowess or something through their invariably accompany more beneficial artifact enhancements. Enforcers may therefore be tempted despite the obvious risks. Data encryption still all jacked up. Now I wonder where we're at. We're at proficiency level 18. man, we were so buff. Like, we were so goddamn buff during that run. Holy [ __ ] we were so buff. Forget to activate second chance. Um Oh, I could have had it on the whole goddamn time. I literally had enough for Wait, is there more stuff in there? Yeah, there is no halion. All damage causes corruption. Alpha hostiles are more dangerous. Hostiles become more aggressive. Nova projectiles and beams break shield instantly. Getting anything crazy over here? Easier to achieve a perfect reload. Shield does not consume power while active. Still lock. Okay. Okay. I did remove second chance on the last one and it uh cost us in the end. It ended up costing us, but we got far. We got mad far. now we're here. We still have the mad good gun. This is true. Actually, we don't. No, it lost. It's back to basics. It lost the majority of its really good things. What is this place to you? Adrenaline. I am the promise, the first and last king, the center of all things. I am the sun, eternal and blazing. Yet still these pretenders, they know the throne is mine. No more run. They know I am forever. I'm into this. They will fall like all those before. I'm going to order some tacos. Hold on. Getting kind of hungry. Blazing tacos as bright as the sun. purple top. That's the thing. The new purple [ __ ] Now that shit's good. Most bosses are definitely like long range encounters is what we've noticed. So, it's like you just need to have something that has range. Cathedral. Light it up. She is waiting. I'm going to save that for later. Still pretty good. [ __ ] is still pretty good. Gun is still nuts. Gun's still pretty nuts. Gun is still gunning. My subordinates think they're special. Pioneers and saints. the dawn of a new age. They were sent here to drown so that distant men might one day swim. I won't be held that. So I wear my mask. I tell them how proud they make me. I tell them they are the door while they build my throne. that's that guy. I get it. Look at that big health. I lost too much life on that, dude. Holy crap. My god, bro. Still dudes alive. Crazy. This thing doesn't reach these [ __ ] I like it. Uh, my health. Hello. There it is. Two big health. Damn. Okay. Well, been pretty good there. There's a bomb trapped in my basement. Kenny has water. The AC's on. He has enough food for a week. There any buffage over there? NO, THERE WAS NOT. OH GOD, BOY. OH, there's a gap there. My god. It's also a big old heal. What the? Lock in him. What is going on over here? I'm getting a lot of keys, dude. Main weapon kills charge overdrive faster. Hell yeah. getting freaky. Ah, I guess let me redraw this. Draw it again. Okay, fine. Stagger amount is good, you know, but let's redraw it. God damn impact crossbow. Damn. I shouldn't have done it. I shouldn't have done it. Son of a [ __ ] Big [ __ ] dude. The sething, crawling masses of Echelon, entitled and greedy, all wanting the eclipse, expecting a world made ready for them. Oh, they will know our power. They will gaze upon our shining shore and it will cost them all that they are. Damn, there's a lot of [ __ ] coming out of me right now, dude. Holy Okay, get over here. You There's no escape. Oh, this looks like a fun room. Very fun. What's missing is something shooting at me. The stalwart shotgun. the pellet wall. Doesn't have double stagger though, you know. But I also have like I have harvest volume on this. There goes the yo-yo whip run. And things are going very well with that thing right now. Absorbing projectiles with the shield increases the damage of the next shot. They're taking damage. Dealing damage to hostiles increases Restores integrity, bro. It's like bloodborne. What the hell? Dashing partially with the clip. Parrots travel through hostiles. No, I'm going to go back to this. That loo This thing's still connected to something. Delroy says, "I won't have you counterman my decisions again, Garcia, would have been finished by now if you hadn't gotten in her way. Your actions are in repeated contravention of Sultari regulations. There's no Sari here, and there never will be. There's just me, my mission, my world. You can accept that or I can turn off your higher functions." This conversation has been recorded and will be transmitted to. Let them come. Let them see. D. So Delroy is the big piece of [ __ ] He's the big [ __ ] That's good [ __ ] Nah. Nah, this shit's still too good. Supposed to go that way. Oh [ __ ] Let it rip. Is this the first or second D's the first one. Still got a ways to go. That graffitis. Stream quality is looking fantastic. Thank you. Is it mad smooth? Most browsers can't even keep up with like 60 fps. You know, you drop frames. I noticed that on my end where it's like, "Oh, I want to see how good the frame rate is." And like the browser's actually dropping frames. I'm like, "Dude, this isn't helping. He took her from me. She was all that I had, all that I fought for. He took her and he turned her into something cool. And she thought she was helping me. We made ourselves into order. We would live forever. But then she was destroyed. them. I'm shooting [ __ ] Feeling pretty buff. You would kiss my ass. That weak point damage is crazy. Feed the purple. Yeah, this gun feels insane. If I got like a higher proficiency version of this weapon like right here. God damn Yeah, that's the problem is that this one doesn't have the uh it's got all the stuff, but it doesn't have the agony harvest, right? The reaping way better. Yeah, I'm keeping this. Dude, it's too Things are It's not like we need things to die any more fast. We're doing pretty Get out. No, my stuff. The stalwart shotgun. Gu, thank you. No. No. I don't think I will. Do not think I will. Yeah. No big stagger either. Oh, sir. I don't think I will. I have this weak gun, but we're mad powerful. Oh [ __ ] The damage increase is just bonkers, Right. It's just insane how much more powerful I got like all of a sudden. going back here. Uh, improved integrity repair. Sure. Worked. God, some of you guys have this [ __ ] all over you of lucinite. So much lucinite. So much healing. Stupid dogs. Still don't have anything to do about that. That's crazy. That's crazy. javelin. That more impact crossbows. I swear to God, dude. I swear to God. We were meant to ascend together. I was chosen to lead them into yellow. But even in this temple we built together, they deny my truth. Their justice will come. Oh, good. Very goofy. Uh, I don't want to use this key here. Yeah, not seem like a good idea to me. Okay, boss time. Boost adrenaline to max. At max level. Yeah. Did I nearly not get another gun at all? Did you shot that floor? What floor? Can't talk to her anymore. Damn, Three point weak point damage. Auto hit disabled. Manual aiming. Projectiles go through hostiles. Consecutive we point. consecutive hits on the same target. Killing a hostile by hitting its weak point instantly reloads the whole clip. When a hostile with auto mark is killed, the auto mark will spread to all nearby hostiles. That's not great for bosses. One big shot. uh. This seems like a really good pistol. No purple though. But damn, dude. Hell of weak point damage. I don't know. And it's a 47. Hit them once with alt fire, then you have homing shots. Really? Is that how that works? Powerful charge shot which marks hostiles enabling you to target them with auto hit. Bro, wait a minute. Are you saying that if I hit the weak point with the charge shot that I just lay loose and it all hits the weak point? Oh [ __ ] That's crazy. It literally turns into an aimbot. Never actually Well, I have to hit the shot to not miss, you know. Let's test that. I mean, I'm willing to. This seems fun. I haven't I haven't utilized this in this way yet. Very curious. Just hit and never miss. It hits the enemy. The enemy, not the weak point. Auto hit can't target weak points. Ah But still they just [ __ ] die. This is 11. just be living. Aiming is hard. I got her. Aiming is hard, dude. Wait a minute. There is an absolute massive damage disparity there, bro. Like, straight up, it really feels like it really feels like the old gun is just nuts. Like I don't I think the Reaper without even the stats is better. It just seems like it, dude. Like I I think I don't know if this gun is like I don't know what the hell's going on, but the difference was insane. And I had I was hitting the weak point. I don't know. The balance seems a little off. Yeah, this gun seems like it might be the this could possibly be the best gun in the game. I feel like there's a stat modifier or some percentage that might be off right now making it so It just it seems so good because of all the stacked multipliers. You don't think damage scales? You think it's fixed? See if we get anything else crazy. Damn it, dude. Yeah, we got a second chance as well this time. You are so close now. I've been waiting so long. I know a bit more what to do with all the tuning forks. Oh, I did not have full health. Oh [ __ ] Ow. Shield broken. Oh my god. I didn't even see the [ __ ] on the ground, bro. This Heat. Oh, I broke my shield, so I lost my [ __ ] Oops. This is still active. I never Oh my god damn. Ow. the purple. I need blue. I need I need some [ __ ] I need to shut the hell up. Heat. Yeah, let's go. Ended up being my power weapon. Power weapon did it, dude. It was doing more damage. Keep saying that. Funny. The the Reaper only ended up being so good. The power weapon was way H Mhm. H. Saw this on the table. Archenia, how I've been waiting for you. All this time you fought your way back to me. I knew you'd understand. I just Everything is perfect now. There's There's literally night time. It's forever. It's [ __ ] night time. Listen to yourselves. 10 out of 10 ending. No questions. No replays. No questions. I have many questions. My controller is shaking too much for that to be a good ending. Not here. Not again. He's like, "God damn it." She was there. She was right there. New armor alterations avail. Let me go get my tacos, chat. Hold on a second. This This is never going to end. Sun is forever. The tacos are delicious. Oh Jesus, dude. Yeah. No credits rolled. That [ __ ] ain't the end. No credits rolled. No, no, no, no, no, no. We have to fight Dalton or whoever the [ __ ] his name is. Topped or hard shell? Both, my dude. Lettuce. Both is right. Yeah. I still don't know what the [ __ ] is going on. Something happened to his partner. I'm an [ __ ] Want a summary? No. No. The game does not want me to know. The game does not want me to know. That's the thing. Not yet. One hand. Where'd she go? The shore. To slumber again and dream. I was there, too. We were together. Did she speak of me? Am I remembered? Just Just tell me how to get to the Yellow Shore. The barricade The lock. Built and forgotten. It's you. You've been telling me all along you're the way in. If you're the lock, then I need to break it open. The cost. Understand the cost. I don't want this. But I need to save her. She did not want this. She She arms outstretched for Why is everything so scary? So chat, why is everything so scary? Do not activate the torment nexus. Yellow. Glorious yellow. Uh, what? The light of kings shines here. Bro, you proceed onward after so many have perished. How do you survive? I don't know, but something keeps bringing me back after I die. Where has this path taken you? What have you discovered? No, it's not like that. But it started when I got here. Could it be a gift from Yellow? The shore guiding you, dude. Even the robot got converted. That's hilarious. Even the goddamn AI robot could not be saved against this [ __ ] [ __ ] comes out wearing a MAGA hat. All of a sudden, gas is $6. I have eight of these things now. Take less damage after using overdrive. Overdrive charges faster from dealing damage. Damn. Overdriving. I haven't even had an opportunity to get that many artifact slots. efficiency up. New boss node. Hey, good point. Jesus. That's right. Containers and defeated enemies can drop corrupted weapons. Corrupted weapons. Don't know what the hell that is. I'll take it. H. H. Oh man, we can go parry happy. Let's go parry happy. That a good idea. Proficiency is always good. I have actually one more boss node. Oh, that was the shepherd. Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] there's even more. Oh no. Game's kind of cool. game's kind of cool. I'm really enjoying it. The forward progression is a lot more focused in this game, you know, just in terms of like how you move the plot forward, how you go from area to area. The biggest difference is that you do not um you do not have as many repeated level runs. That just doesn't happen as much, you know. So, the play time feels less. Returnal is much more of a rogue light. Yeah, it is. for sure. It's just fun. Bosses are challenging, you know. I do every area like one or two times maybe. This feels good. Has a lot of the same connective tissue of Returnal, but it plays out differently, you know. Yeah, the game just has more unique areas and less repeated ones. Yeah, pretty much this game was their effort at leaning more to the rogue side. They've said the opposite actually. They've said um I think they responded on Twitter that like the game is not described as a rog light to them. is described as a third-p person action shooter. I mean, I think they were getting some criticisms of it not being like an amazing rogue light that Returnal was better and it's like but they don't describe it being a rog light. People just assume that it was. Yeah. Hey, Returnal is also a rog light. You keep unlocks between runs. Returnal definitely was. Returnal was a rog light in the in the days where that [ __ ] was like kind of fresh, still in its like heyday. Yeah, it wasn't detailed. It was described that you're going to make runs, but it's a bit different. The reality of the situation is that it's a soul's life. It's now the true soul's light. You can never get around it. I'm just kidding. It's a racing sim TCG, bro. Where the hell does this? How would you say our maps of Carcosa are? It is limited by enforcer reconnaissance and altered by erratic topographic realignment. yeah, but I was wondering, did anyone ever find something called the blue precipice? No such record.…
