@marsjune6716 5 лет назад

Sorry if it came across as harsh. The PC community's defaulting to mentioning steam just really irks me. They complain about the epic game story (partially rightly so) and then defend a quasi monopoly that every gamer needs to subject themselves to since HL2 started forcing it upon PC players.

Hey GmanLives, I'm the guy who mistakenly sent you a comment on 'business email'. I tried to use discord but I am a fish out of water. I tried to send you a message and friend you. Seems vaguely familiar to FB but I couldn't or didn't know how to send you a message. So I just sent a message to General Reuben (?), I guess, to anybody out there to help me. Hope all is well good video's again..lets get you 500K...I do have a lot of gamer friends in their late 30's and 40's like me (80 and 90's kids). Look forward to chatting soon. Good day.

@Duterasemis 5 лет назад

Some things about the weapons: 1) Using the axe in Soul Mode underwater pulls you forward like a propeller. Seriously. 2) Staff of the Azure Orb homing is pretty damn good. Soul mode version does not home and is much shorter range, but has one of the highest DPS in the game. 3) Whisper's Edge can already pass through enemies in normal mode if you only hit them with the edge. This does less damage but it can pass through an entire group of enemies this way. Soul version bounces too. Turns hallways into blenders. 4) Voltride's chain lightning does flat damage which is usually enough to overkill smaller enemies in one hit to keep it going, but might kill bigger ones without popping them. Soul mode just turns it into a coherent beam with higher DPS. Overkill stays the same. 5) One of the planets the Celestial Claw can summon is Earth. 6) Star of Torment's soul mode spike balls do splash damage as they explode on impact and send shards everywhere. 7) You can kill yourself with the Aeternum's black hole.

@KaiserAfini 5 лет назад

3:10 If you are genuinely curious, I believe the weapon itself resembles a scimitar. Mechanically speaking, it looks like a faster version of the warrior's Quietus from Hexen, which was a ton of fun.

@AintImpressed 3 года назад

Scimitar is just a European non-scientific name for Eastern sabers like a shamshir. Just in case - it is definitely not a falchion since it is not broadening towards the tip and the blade is in significantly slimmer. It is definitely on the very short end of the spectrum, bringing it closer to fascine knives in length. So it's a short sabre or a curved single-edge fascine knife.

@zZapStrapZz 3 года назад

I feel like the celestial claw was inspired by that moment in the Infinity Gauntlet comics when the celestials start throwing planets at Thanos, especially considering the fact that its called the CELESTIAL claw. It's so epic, and I've always wanted to see something like this in either a game or the MCU so this is pretty awesome to see

Man. That first Forge level...the one with rain in fog was absolutely amazing to me. I loved the vibe and the look-everything about it. I’m shocked to hear someone complain about it. And almost every instance where you come across enemies on a narrow walkway...you can just back up to a wider are and snipe the enemies off the platforms. I had no issue. What a sick ass game. So good!

I came back to this video just to see if he mentioned that level. I’m finally playing this and I could’ve wandered around that level for days.

@APEXGuerilla 10 месяцев назад

Love this game. Probably one of my favorite games ever. Taking my sweet time with it. A few points: - Wish there more complex environmental puzzles - Wish we could push objects - Wish they focused on the alchemy more e.g. the star of torment could put out fire torches/fire barricades or freeze water into traversable paths. There could have been portals which need activating by the celestial claw too. They could have played with that more as the weapon variety feels largely pointless - You can't see your own shadow
