Main channel: / justaspect Blade of Justice was an experience and a half. And now there is a remake of it, that is meant to be much harder, but also much better.
yoyoyo! First of all I believe there has been a misconspetion created, this is not a remake of blade of justice, this is a remake of *unnerfed* blade of justice, the gameplay is different than the current rated version in many places. Imma talk about some of the thought processes behind this level's balancing for a bit. Realvet's wave at 1:21 is almost directly just taken from the original unnerfed BoJ, Now I'm not sure what was going through the heads of the creators at the time but the wave is pretty much built in a way where reading it is as difficult as it can be (best shown at 1:11 with the two sawblades at the top of the 2 slopes, going anywhere but preciesly next to the slopes will cause you to hit the sawblade before dropping down) We honestly tried our best with this part and by this point it isn't too annoying and does get consistent after a *l*o*t* of practice, this has always been personally my least favourite part of the level in terms of GP but we got it into a lot more bearable of a state than it was when we got it. the portal at 80% ( 4:28 ) Is there in unnerfed blade of justice, it is definitively the easiest gap in that wave, as the timing is quite wide. not nearly as annoying as it looks and it's gonna stay there due to it's iconic nature and the fact it just feels... fun and satisfying as hell while not really being difficult at all. As for the gap at 53% ( 2:52 ) This is just a simple hold, no timing is required. As for the following wave, for a top 10 those are actually very simple patterns and the hitboxes on the saws are actually very forgiving. The part is actually fixed from what it was in unnerfed BoJ where the saws presisted throughout the whole part (even the last 3 clicks) which was just unreadable hell, which me and the hosts, along with thunderBT, decided to remove. This is one of the few parts which we actually didn't need to touch while balancing the fully finished version (at least up to this point) As for the last part apple ( 5:09 ) the part is mostly carried by the wave while the rest of the part falls off in difficulty the further it goes pretty much, it is mostly intended to be this way (though in the version where it was showcased it went into this direction too much, as of writing this comment the ship has had it's timings adjusted and buffs applied) The part on it's own is probably the easiest past 60% and one of the easiest in the level. I still enjoyed the video pleanty though, some things I do agree with is the glow effect in the first ship being annoying in gameplay (though the places where it occurs aren't the hardest timings in the ship) and the comment on CuLuC's UFO about the part's difficulty being misleading hit the nail on the head. For frame of reference I think currently as of time of writing it's the hardest part in the second half, while at the time of showcase it was practically auto. the point about spikes on walls inside of waves is perfectly valid, though I've always personally prefered waves that way. thanks for taking the time to read, balancing this level has been a headache for pretty much everyone involved, from creators changing gameplay to fit structuring, to differences in balancing opinion, to the disbalance between the first 20% being impossible and the last 60% being free for 90% of the level's lifespan, I think we've finally hit a point where it is actually playable and fun to play aswell. I really hope it will live up to expectations at the end of the day.
Good luck on verifying edge of destiny because edge of destiny is my favorite geometry dash level and my prediction is that is think edge on destiny will be harder than Tartarus when it gets placed on the demons list when it gets verified and rated my prediction
a lot of the weird things about this level were from the UNNERFED version of BoJ, hence why some stuff looks so jank to play and weirdly balanced, i can assure you though that we're working to make sure we make this as fun as we can make it for its difficulty. glad you liked it!
YOOOOO CD :O Yeah, the level has already turned out awesome. If the gameplay thingies get fixed, this could easily become one of the best list levels. Good luck with this!
one of the rare cases in the community where the opinion is actually respectable and valid, instead of just being "oh i hate it or i love it" this guy should do more reviews holy shit
Im really happy that someone atleast tries to judge the gp at a glance and make guesses of how it will play instead of just focusing on deco. Good vid!
this is the first time ive seen someone actually review the level without just calling it perfect, trash or just saying "deco good, deco bad" instead giving pretty valid criticism and pointing out alot of good and bad things about the decoration AND gameplay overall giving some respectable and necessary criticism to a potentially god like top 10 to help it turn out better.
we need this guy to rate more upcoming levels, i like his opinions and he criticizes this level weaknesses but gives compliment to the good parts, great job rating man keep up the amazing work ❤️
This might be the first time I've seen genuine, non assholery criticism, your points were entirely valid and I honestly agree with just about everything you've said, you're respectable
My guy went Gordon Ramsey mode on this level. We need people like him to tell us level creators what to do and what not to do. Otherwise, we end up with levels like aod.
@@JustAnotherAspect I have an opinion from the EoD 86% part, and I think that part should've stayed the same (which it did) because the song has a fast pace, which also matches the wave part. Yes, they could've nerfed it, but song hits hard. Also, yes the yellow portal on 80% really has to go. Overall, great level.
Dude, you gotta be the most underrated RU-vidr I’ve ever seen, you haven’t asked to subscribe once, you got to the point, it’s entertaining, not clickbait, and you gave a valid opinion. Respect. I subscribed with notifications, keep growing king.
@@JustAnotherAspect yeah i was watching a showcase and I realized it seems near impossible if not impossible then I realized you can see the mini ship moving down and fading
most of his problems boil down to super tight parts that you can get stuck on and that it could get annoying but likes the deco i like his honest rating 10/10
If your wondering this level is a remake of unnerfed BOJ, BOJ originally went through like 11 verifiers before it was nerfed to its current state. This is supposed to be the unnerfed original version, hence some stuff like yellow portal in wavr
@@JustAnotherAspect got to disagree with you then, when the point is to be the og unnerfed version, changes like that would ruin the point of the level imo
@@futureddude4250 so you would rather have a level playing which makes you want to stab someone BUT have it be exactly what it was supposed to be, than have the level be slightly altered and way more enjoyable?
@@JustAnotherAspect It's a top extreme demon for a reason buddy you are literally advocating comfort instead of discomfort and not take in the time to beat something that will make you scream your lungs out when you finally beat it hence why most verifiers do it when it comes to something legacy restoring like this.. The way you stated "i dont like this please remove it,i dont like that dont do that" implies that you are against the purpose of this unnerfed Blade of Justice remake which is to be as hard and annoying as the original version...
This looks so much harder than blade of justice. I’m pretty sure this is just blade of justice unnerfed but redecorated. That level was so ahead of its time.
awesome opinions with this. though saying some of the pure gaps that arent misleading are a little wack saying this is top 10 to standards nowaday (which i think are just annoying now and just wish could be reverted to like 2019 standards) i think what you said was pretty nice. and as a creator myself i will try my best to keep these in mind making a level with this caliber of difficulty (if i even bother to)
just a quick note, the spike with the mini ship that you commented on at the end of the dual doesnt actually matter and you dont have to drop down, you get put out of dual before that and it looks like that would be physically impossible anyway
CD Mucic and the other people who did this didn't make the gameplay, the creator of blade of justice did. this is unnerfed BoJ, the one that's rated and you beat was nerfed in the making, this is just a redeco of unnerfed BoJ.
@@JustAnotherAspect unnerfed not old, old BOJ is VERY different, the deco is way worse and the first ship is a straight-fly challenge. I think Manix and Lazerblitz changed the gameplay and the deco, but it mightve been someone else
Onpopular opinion: The yellow portal at 4:20 is the single worst gameplay mechanic in the game and i hated stuff like that since people started doing them
@@JustAnotherAspect sorry wrote the comment halfway through the video. Respect the dedication and critiques though 👍 Edit: I've been awake for 37 hours so yeah sorry if that sounded half assed
I hate how people judge top 10s about the tightness , ( not talking about you ) , a top 10 is literally the golden , I hate how people don't think about it
@@JustAnotherAspect yes thats right i am not talking about upcoming tops , neither about your video or eod , i just saw some stupid comments so i wanted to say that
2:53 not to be THAT guy but the gap on the ship is really tight becuase the dual ends there, you never pass the spikes anyway. Other than that great review!
Imo after rewatching this vid and seeing the comments.. Am just going to say that if the original levels is absolutely shit its not compulsory to make the remake shit aswell they could have changed a bit of gameplay cause that wouldn't have caused much trouble
Just to clarify one thing. This is not a remake of BOJ, this is the unnerfed version of BOJ called Edge of Destiny. (The level was too hard back then so they needed to nerf it)
fair enough, but that being said, the original version of this was made in 2.0, dont you think it should be changed at least a little to make it more enjoyable?
@@JustAnotherAspect if a verifier doesnt balance a level thats top 1 its just gonna solidify that its a top 1 from the general difficulty being spiked from chokepoints lmao
when you say too tight, or cheap, you have to remember that it's top ten and it's basically unfair to everyone who plays because it's so damn hard. otherwise, nice vid keep it up
I understand that, but I feel like some of the difficult timings/jumpps could have been done differently. Like nerf that thing, and then buff something else. Might just be me though
It would have bin better if it remade the old version of blade of justes because that would have bin cooler dont get me wrong this is realy cool but it would have bin cooler with old blade of justes
@@JustAnotherAspect bruh no that’s how the game works. This is call deceptive spikes. Maneuvering over a tight cordor isn’t the hardest but sometimes the deceptive spikes makes the level seems easy. Which it’s actually hard.
@@sonicbluster3360 my point still stands, why couldnt they have made something else harder in a different way? why did it have to be this? "thats how the game works" isnt exactly the answer im looking for here
@@JustAnotherAspect not every week! I think it's just some trend... I think after like 5 months the trend is over and no one cares about extreme demons anymore...
@@JustAnotherAspect yes I like hard demons because they often have the highest quality. Also I don't think like hard gameplay = bad gameplay. The extreme demon gameplay is just another liga yk...
Fnm04 is a stupid genius WHY did he saturated the level showcase? For example, watch the Neiro's showcase, there's a normal lvl, but fnm saturated the showcase.
@@JustAnotherAspect But when you are playing the level you of course see a very different thing, that means that fnm showcases an almost different lvl that has the same deco but it has more "saturated" colors
I started doing it to encourage people to come back to the channel (because they would be guaranteed to get a reply to their comments and any questions they might have, like yours) and then I started doing it automatically
You talked about gameplay the whole video but EoD is not a level respected with gp, this level is respected with it's deco. If you like talking about gp you can watch unnerfed BoJ video
