Oh
Yo yo
Yo, how are we doing everybody good to see you welcome to the afternoon stream
Hope you guys are doing well
What the hell is this golden beer and why do I have it?
Um
I also got a chair
Uh, let's see. Oh my inventory looks different
Oh
Oh, look at this dude.
They did it.
Interesting.
Okay, cool.
So do I like it?
I don't know yet.
I need to use it a little bit more,
but I can tell you it's a,
it looks better than it was.
So that's awesome.
Okay, who is blackster? Oh blackster is my target, isn't it? Okay. Cool. So, oh. What's
that in the bottom left there? Why does my food have a button next to it? Is that this?
Oh, no. Whoa. What is this function thing in the bottom right? Um, I think my key I think
my key binds changed again. Hold on.
Hmm.
Whoa.
What?
Classic or default?
Um.
Um, where, where do I go?
Where do I go do my keys?
Um, there used to be a thing in here.
Get F.
Oh, oh, that's what that's there for.
Oh, that's okay.
Okay
Hmm
Hmm
Okay, oh did they split more of the commands I
Think they split more of the commands
Sub-avade whoa
Oh, okay, so we're going to do aim guard, right click, you have to change all this now.
attack is control. I'm going to kick F. Okay. Okay. Where is, where is take out and put away
weapon? Draw still weapon is here. Food quicksaw does. Yeah. Oh wait, food quicksaw does this
but food is this. Okay. Um,
but I can't I can't tap that button for food.
Is it? Is that somewhere else? Tilda is the food.
Oh, so I need to reverse those. I need to reverse those.
Okay. So tilde.
Lock on. Let's make you middle mouse button.
Oh Lord. No. Yeah, I guess I guess lock on is fine for that, but that's not what it should be.
Okay. So food quick slot. Food we want this. That's what we want food.
And then food quick slot we want to be
That okay, so now
Oh man, okay I
Feel like it worked better before I'm not I'm not quite sure why they changed that
That's weird. Okay. Interesting. But we're good. We're good.
Okay, I see that's okay, Zazz.
Alright, let's go back to our base real quick.
Because I want to see the new...
The new stuff.
How far am I in the main story?
Uh, not that, well, Chapter 12.
I guess not that far from the end.
Yeah, I think. I don't know. Whoa.
You can place a sot day and fill the bird feeder to bond with nearby birds.
Their trust increases each time they visit and eat their favorite feed.
What I thought there was a chair. It's a bird feeder
What's going on with the hat? Oh, I just went outside and it's really hot out and my hair was I have beanie hair
So I put on a hat
That's all
Geary
Hey Ko, just wrapped up D4, vessel of hatred, getting ready for the current
campaign and the campaign is honestly pretty rough. The writing is abysmal,
even though everything else is top-tier. Mephisto is a genuinely interesting
villain, but the story and dialogue sink to rock bottom. Got me thinking, who are
your top-free video game protagonists and villains when it comes to character
depth, personality, dialogue, I have no idea, and so on. Jesus, I have. I'd have to sit down
and like you gotta remember, I'm a guy that's played thousands of games. That that's like
a 30 minute conversation. I'm sorry. I got to focus on this right now. But I appreciate
you, Gary. But yeah, I'd have to really sit down and think about that. And I have no
idea off him. No idea off him. I'm sorry. Okay, so they added a whole bunch of like crafting
boxes? Like I don't know how this works. Is it just available in the stuff now? Like if
I go here is my stuff available? You've found the finest blacksmith in IWELL. No. Okay,
So it's not, it's not just a deal.
You can't just witness the iron up.
If you need anything, just drop by.
So does like each area have a custom crafting thing?
Do you have a box here somewhere?
It's in my house.
Oh, there's quests for those boxes.
Oh, really?
Oh.
Um, okay. So I want to do those like, yeah, yeah, I want to arm us some tips.
Okay.
Because I really want to, I want to see how those work and everything.
The furniture guy saw some.
Here is my furniture room.
I think he's like back here, right?
Hey buddy, are we a hundred with you?
We are.
Fine furniture is the key to a better cause of life.
Haha!
What's just thinking there?
Dirty gatherables chest.
Supply contract.
Lots of stuff, man.
Weird though, so he only has one box though, okay.
That's a shame, I love his VA, that's amazing.
What are these?
Are these full?
Are these done?
Oh!
Wait, what?
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh
Hey what oh
Wow, they were a bunch of I didn't realize that was what it looks like full-grown. Hey, Dutchie, what's up, bud?
Any win-rows today?
Um, I was going to try to do some tonight, but I don't think I'm going to be here tonight,
unfortunately.
So I don't know if we'll get to win-rows today, but probably some tomorrow, I think.
Okay.
So these boxes are all over the world?
Is that what's going on?
So we've got to get some more silver, and I'm going to put down one of these gathers
in those chests since they're out of work.
They also have to go in our house, apparently.
hmm my cat is trying to eat my food sirs okay so we will not start going to house
hmm I just love organizing it's what they're
Cauldron for the house. It's the furniture guy near her now
Need something packed you've come to the right place
Do they put a witch in the camp or do we still have to lug around all that stuff?
Come back when you've more stuff to lead with me
There's three boxes to get there all short quests the gatherables is the most useful
I don't want to talk to you anymore.
I don't remember if we have anything to sell. I don't think we really do.
Man, this is real. I like, I love these categories.
The categories are awesome.
Okay, you can't eat my burr.
Okay, one little bit. Hold on, Cat, hold on.
Okay, I think we're good.
Done.
done
all right
uh... we are out of money
we do have a lot of guys bringing us money though
what's the big idea
let's double check they're all doing their thing
put them to the test
they came for work
they are very much still doing their thing
shunger single on
We're gonna talk to you.
How do I bring... Can I bring money out?
Can I take money?
Hmm...
I wanna take some of my money.
Is it desert time? It is desert time.
Yes.
It's peanut butter desert time, actually.
Oh, you know what we can do? We can go to the, uh...
And go to the bank.
Well, what are you doing over there?
The map looks.
Different.
This looks.
At the same demos.
We're.
OK.
It's different icons.
Morning.
Fine.
What's up?
Hey, Puppers.
Puppers is looking great.
Hi.
Trust me, as the most.
Does it not?
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
No silver available for withdrawal.
Can I withdraw a gold bar and cash it?
Great.
Money is it?
Alright let's go buy this thing.
I want to see how this works.
Noble thing.
Okay.
Well, we also got a can you just play it while Jin's singing?
Do we need to...
Let's see.
Probably have to turn into seeds, I'm guessing.
Teen seed.
I
Oh dude, what?
Hold on, first of all, I just bugged my game.
No, okay, we're good.
Hold on, hold on.
I just saw this in chat and I need to, oh god, I'm gone.
Where'd I go?
Yeah, where'd I go?
Oh, hi.
Let me see this real quick.
I don't want to see this because I just saw this in chat and I haven't heard about
this.
I don't want to see where it came from.
It's loading.
Make your house for this.
It's trying to load.
Something went wrong.
Here we go.
A couple weeks ago, an error made Wasteland remastered free on the Xbox Store,
but what people snagged before we fixed the glitch can't actually be played,
so we're giving them one that can.
If you were lucky enough to redeem it, you'll soon see the non-working game
removed from your library and you have a new copy to claim waiting for you in your offers
and credits. Hope you enjoy and see you in the wasteland. That's awesome. Good guy, Debs.
That's great. That's super cool. Good for them, man. That's a lot of fun. Uh, where are
Mercedes, my scissors.
Oh, Sadesers.
There's Mercedes.
We still have to use every single one independently.
We do, we do.
OK, cool, cool, cool.
And I don't care to do this.
All right, let's go.
All right, we're going to go to the main quest.
Here a shadow in the void twisted verdict. Oh that sounds it looks badass are you gonna
get a bird pet now that you can maybe that sounds kind of fun. Where over here a
A shadow in the void.
What do the bird pets do? Are they like normal bird pets?
Or excuse me, are they like normal pets? Do they like loot and stuff?
Can you give them armor and everything?
They do loot? Oh, that's kind of cool. I wonder if they're not as buggy as normal pets.
So wait, if we're looking here, here's the fields.
This is the mill and we're right after the second river.
Okay.
How am I getting further?
Oh wait.
Is he in the sky?
No, no, no, I'm getting closer.
Okay, that's weird.
Oh, maybe we have to go through the abyss at the top.
Yeah, he is in the abyss. Okay. Okay.
Weird.
Go to the abyss and go up for caliber. He must be destroyed. Okay, so we don't have
anything close to this guy. But I think we progressed.
Where did we progress to and stop?
Was it here there's this here
Maybe that's it go forgot the story. No, no, I remember generally the story. Yeah, mostly
Remember that?
There we go.
Great.
So you're right next to geese, please get one, you can get geese?
Alright, so let's go over to this way.
Oh wait, can we grab onto these if they spin around?
I remember it can go up and over, but...
You can double-click the gate.
These?
Oh!
Well Dan, I had no idea.
We did it chat we did it.
The baseball cap makes extra dad like.
That's what I'm going for.
Go for that super dad motif, you know
Yeah, see that's not where it's supposed to be at all, um, that was not right.
Maybe we're supposed to go up here and like fly over to there.
Let's try the other gate.
Where do the other gate takes us there?
I was gonna order that hat. Oh, I hear you Elmin. I hear you, but I appreciate it dude
Nice you didn't even consider it. Oh, yeah. Okay. This is new. Cool. This is definitely new
Oh, we're doing this live, this is happening.
This is happening! Nice hat, thanks!
It's my dad hat. It's like, on the store, this is literally called Coalition Dad Hat,
I think. At least it used to be.
Abyss nexus are spread over across Pywell, user lantern, or Blending Clash Reveal locations
stand on Abyss nexus to activate it. Oh, is that how these work? Okay.
So did you have a spass travel in this game?
Oh yeah, look at this. Okay, this is looking pretty good
Where are you?
Really? Okay.
Or these all different areas of the abyss we could have come from. Oh, yeah, look at that.
So this one would have come this this way this guy would have come here. Oh
Oh, how cool. Nice.
Connecting them all together.
How's that sound?
What the shhhh...
You know, like, is this?
Restore the pulse of soaring.
Good job, Ko!
Okay.
That it?
What is that?
Oh.
Weird.
How do they have ever seen shineberries before?
Great.
Where'd this go?
Hmm.
Okay.
Okay, stay in the cell for me.
Hmm.
They know power.
Hmm.
Hmm.
They know power.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
This may just be another entrance from another side.
I saw him free.
And then he's a coward either.
Hmm.
You are you powered you weren't powered are you
I don't even know if this is what I'm supposed to be doing.
all these power things are going into just a lot of things you can't do anything with.
Oh, you're trying hard not yet, no.
Oh, you missed the front gate when you teleported?
Oh.
Oh.
Okay.
Well, let's go back and take a look.
Yeah, I have no clue what I'm supposed to be doing here.
I think we're supposed to open these doors, and that each door is connected to an island,
so maybe we can, like, kick which one we do.
But the doors don't have power, so, excuse me, the lines to the doors don't have power.
There's no dotted lines, so it's not like we have to go over there and power stuff.
Is that a thing?
So I don't know.
Just go in.
Don't say that.
Don't say that.
Don't say that.
Just walk into the door and hit me, please.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Okay.
Just check your surroundings.
What the shit is this?
Oh my gourd.
Okay.
Oh, hi.
Ahhhh...
At last you've come.
Another stone that stands in my path, like the countless others I've crushed underfoot.
You are but one more obstacle to obliterate.
Let me know when you're finished.
Tell me, Greymane.
What sort of obstacle are you?
filled with a grand sense of self-importance. Or one whose will bends whichever way the
winds blow. Or perhaps, your one simply consumed by greed.
You consider all the innocents you've slaughtered obstacles.
All that exists belongs to me.
All that exists lives to serve me.
And you too shall exist for me.
Oh please
Oh, wow.
Oh, he, he hurts.
Okay, let's do a retry.
This guy is a bit of a thing.
There's like 20% health?
Yeah, I'm all for it.
I have attained all I need.
Beep!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
How are we sliced into pieces?
I'm like doing full rolls now, instead of like my little side step.
Is that?
Did they say you had nothing extra?
Are new dodge settings
more people
I don't know when the enemy is to be minion itself.
Don't resist, and your blood shall eat my blood!
Surrender!
You may rot!
You may die!
You already belong to me!
Hey, let me just put the best parts for you to this enemy running in combat.
Oh
You came to your naïve, egoistic delusions.
And you, a paleo-monster, that exists only to be destroyed.
Did we just phase one him after like four phases?
The world will not bend to your will.
Of course, it will.
There are myriad ways to remove an obstacle.
Or was it will?
There are myriad ways to remove an obstacle.
You simply lack the imagination.
To deal with such a naive fool as you requires a different approach, a foolproof method.
And with it, I will make you mine.
Wait, what?
Oh, chase the unknown.
is it? Is that it? No, that's sort of the wolf. Where's twist? Oh, there it is. Is that
it? So wait, why isn't it in here? Oh, this is one handed weapons. Oh, you know what?
weird. So there's no two hand weapon group. I guess I could group it. Oh my God, what did
I just do? Okay, we're just, oh Jesus, ungroup all items. Oh. Okay, so it's just not a two
hand weapon group, I guess. Awkward. Okay. What do you do? You're to attack a Bissell
raise. What is a missile raise?
Oh, on a normal left click attack.
Wow, that's kind of cool.
OK.
Hmm.
That's for more.
Are you near them?
Caliban or someone else?
I exist everywhere.
I am myself.
I am everyone.
I am everything.
Enough nonsense!
I'm coming for you!
All that throws back to me, they make it every soul.
The longing for immortality, the longing for beauty, the longing for endless power, the longing for perfect freedom.
The longing for unconditional worship, I am the embodiment of every Dark Desire.
Oh, yeah.
Their hunger has awakened my being.
I am humanity's chorus.
These adds are actually great!
These are awesome!
We're gonna run out of healing items like that.
to deny me is to deny your self
rejoice in this moment
You know what?
Till you will now fulfill your purpose.
Be one with me, and you will be free to harbor every heart and every soul, treat this
Destroy them, eternally, and carry the yearning driver!
Why do you say nothing?
Are you no different?
I cannot become one with all.
You and I cannot coexist.
So all will not become one with you.
Ah
Is it about to spread its wings?
Bro, are you serious? How is he in the abyss?
I don't think that's awesome.
Oh wait, we're not in the abyss in this game.
Help me, Orton.
Dude!
Oh my god, this is happening.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
Bro, I do not want to have that.
Oh, this is bad.
Okay. Oh god, this is bad.
Oh
Okay, we're getting the stun stuff on, but we're getting the stun.
Are the fireballs doing the stun?
We're just getting to him doing the stun.
Oh yeah, the fireballs.
Oh, there it is.
Oh, God!
What?
What?
What?
I'm flying in.
Why am I flying in?
I didn't jump off.
Oh, God.
Please don't go out of it.
Oh, God.
I'm flying in.
I'm going in.
I'm going in.
I'm going in.
I'm going in.
I'm going in.
I'm going in.
I'm going in.
I'm going in.
Oh, God.
I'm flying in, I'm going in, I'm doing this.
This is happening.
Go up for the eyeball.
I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it.
I'm doing it, can I do it?
Can I stab him?
This is so awkward.
What am I supposed to do?
Wait, oh God.
Get the force, calm it.
Okay.
I thought we had to do the jump-on and stabby thing for other bosses.
There it is, okay.
I'm not a fan of stamina.
I can't stand it.
I can't stand it.
Man, this is beautiful.
Like, God.
go ahead and get him.
go ahead and chat.
See, that's what I meant to do, but let's go on right now, that's what I meant to do.
We're aging, did I just see gray hair?
Is that the end of this game?
Yeah.
Well, that's it for this video.
Thanks for watching.
I'll see you in the next one.
Bye.
I was gonna say like now what you got wings, bro
Wait, was that Unka?
Was that Unka that saved him?
Because the arm that saved him didn't have clothes on.
Was it somebody else that saved him and then Unka found him?
Yeah, it was a different arm, wasn't it?
The arm was someone else's, okay, okay, yeah.
That didn't seem like the next.
Oh, it's Ollie!
Oh, it's Ollie!
Oh, you can't, it's Ollie!
You can't, it's Ollie!
That was the end?
That was the end?
Oh!
And now for some applause, why aren't you clapping I
Love that that guy's name is ha dog look I like that his names are awesome
Dude that was
You know I'm not gonna lie I was kind of hoping that the end of crimson desert would bring the story together more
Okay, it's really interesting because at the beginning of this game, we said this game
is clearly amazing for non main story reasons.
And I'm enjoying it because I'm not focused on the main story.
That's what I said at the beginning.
And I did.
almost 100 hours in this game, right? Love it. As I played through the main story, I started
going, oh, maybe there's a main story here. This seems to be going somewhere. There's some
cool stuff. I like it. Like, okay. And now that we're at the end, I can safely say,
Nope. Nope. It's it's nope. Nope word. Nope. That's nope. Nope. I would never play this
for the main story. There are cool parts of the main story, but to put it bluntly, I don't
think there's any overall coaching themes. Like I don't, I don't, I don't, there was,
There was no progression of any kind, no characters grew, the events didn't really connect.
It had cool story beats, but there was a non-existent main arc.
Chad is saying you're not done with the main story, keep going.
Oh, okay, okay, so there is a little more?
Because if that was all I'm getting, then that's just like, I have no idea what to
even get with.
Let's let's see what else is here then first. Let's see what else is here because yeah, that was that was
That was something
We definitely look a lot older
Cliff
Today's the day decided them
No need to rush it.
Well, I'm ready. How are the others? They'll be fine.
Let's go.
Hmm. Paints is what day is it? I don't think we know.
This way.
Tell me, how are you holding up?
A little tired, that's all.
You look weathered.
I've weathered the Lord.
The band is new.
We haven't had a moment's pull since that night.
Peace and calm were strangers to us.
We all carry that night with us every step of the way
But now the gray mains can lay that button down
Thanks to you cliff it's time to lay down the birding you carry be free
Wonka
You've always stood by me. Thank you
Is he disbanding the gray mains?
I'm so confused right now.
Complete all main quests!
Oh, so that's it!
So we're like retired?
Is that how it ended?
I am so confused.
So now I need to go to-
It's amazing.
Oh.
Witness the return of peace to her nan now that the war has ended.
Where are the castle grounds?
Oh, look at all this.
So we can like run around and actually like revisit all these.
Interesting.
So I still gotta say though, like this is,
I'm not weird.
This is, hmm.
do we just go and I'm just gonna go down the list I guess whoa wait what
you also need to complete the 40 of this puzzle then go read books that the
game don't tell you about I can link a reddit thread that explain it yeah go
ahead now we're at the end of the game absolutely yeah go ahead and link the
of thread. Let's take a look. I would love to understand what's going on. I would love
to. I feel like there's a lot going on, but I just don't know how well it's being conveyed
to us properly. Let's see. The Aksyan Archive book explains everything about Crimson Desert
story and almost nobody will ever find them.
So after about 220 hours I finally finished my main quest along with every abyss puzzle
and realized I can climb all the way up to the third floor of the Axian Archive.
The books you find in the Archive reveal all the insane twists and explanations about
the game's story and writing that the game will never really explain during the campaign.
In these books you get the necessary explanation why Cliff is doing seemingly random tasks,
why he is a soulless mute, why he doesn't question his death, why do Alastin, White
pro-master to engoy an altach like they've known him and all the crypts- WHAT?!
The books basically describe the Guardians of the Abyss have been manipulating time in
an attempt to defeat Umbra.
The Guardians cannot directly interfere with such powerful beings to require an avatar to
kill them on his, on their behalf, which he's been shaped over several cycles.
Each time Cliff has failed to defeat Umbra in the past, cause the Guardians to effectively
rewind this sounds awesome why are we why is this not the main story cliff has
failed a hundred and seven previous timelines and the hundred and eight we
play has a direct reference to the Buddhist 108 defilements you complete
the main quest on the abyss plus the guardians appear and selling for a
story or older cliff back to his younger self.
Maybe that's the burden he's talking about at the end.
Are they alluding to the burden being done?
My interpretation is now that this task is finally complete.
They're releasing him from everything they put him through.
Oh, well, that would happen after everything.
So that's a that's a different.
Okay.
The archives explain where the main narrative often feels disjointed.
The 108th loop is the answer sheet constructed from the failures.
Each record notes a specific reason for failure, ranging from Cliff's death to his moral corruption.
Dude, how amazing would it have been if we had been able to play through some of
the failed timelines?
if we had gotten to a boss and Cliff like started having memory issues because timelines
have been so long and like you do the fight and lose and then you do the fight and lose
a different way and every time at the end it like you're confused like why is this happening
how did I why did I lose to a cutscene and then you fight him and win and the game keeps
going as normal and then at the end of the game they're like oh you were having memory
issues because you've done that a hundred times before like there's so many cool
things they could have done with this. This is angering me how bullshit they were with the main
story when they had all this to work with. Bro! This sucks. This game needed more time.
This game needed more time, dude. They just threw that main story. They had so much
Interesting shit to work with and they just and they give us that
Is it good or bad what's your point my point is that it's very disheartening to see that they had some awesome
Ideas that they could have worked with but instead we got this disjointed weird
uninspired basically
Not good at all main storyline
Like like they had this could have been so cool
cool. And it would have also explained so many things that made no sense. Like, which
made the main story feel like even dumber.
Oh my lord it even like goes over different cycles
They wrote so much for this that we never even
This is one of the biggest travesties I think I've seen in gaming.
I can't believe this.
They had this incredibly cool concept.
And the implementation was just garbage, was garbage.
That is, that is, that is, that is insane.
I would have, I would have left this game not even realizing that it had an actual
cool foundation. If I had not been linked to this website, I would have I would have left that game and
been like that game was a mess. I have no idea what was going on. I don't think the devs knew what
was going on. That game was a mess. That's why I would have left this game if I had not seen this.
Like the fact that this isn't part of the main story, the fact that this isn't like have a spotlight
shown on it and referenced multiple times in the main story. This is the main story and it's not in the game.
Did I just call the game garbage? No, I didn't. Are you listening to me at all? No, I didn't
didn't say the game's garbage. I said this, the fact that this isn't in the game is garbage.
I'm not saying anything the game is. I mean, the main story is, is not good. It's not good,
especially knowing that the main story was supposed to be telling this. Like, like,
like this is the book the game is based on. And how, yeah, I have that feeling right
now when it's like you like a book and then you watch the show or movie and the show or movie is garbage
That's that's how I feel about what I'm reading here as opposed to what I played in the game
Like it's it's it's
It's crazy. I don't know. I don't know that's wild. That's really wild
That's really wild to me. Honestly, they should they should redo the main story
They should like they should they should redo this they should take a do over
They should do like a whole patch that just changes the main story
Because this is a cool. This is a very cool premise
This would have been so awesome to learn about throughout the course of the game
It would have probably explained more why the end guy looked like cliff
It probably would have explained more about the guy who got corrupted
And now it just makes now it makes more sense that dude at the end has probably killed us a bunch of
times so that whole thing about like just like removing obstacles like all of
that would have made so much more sense if we had known we'd been there a bunch
of other times and we'd find him about like
ah dang
um oh no no no I'm sorry for people that are saying co is wrong saying this
stuff isn't in the game yes all of this stuff is in the game they got all this
this is not made up they got this from the books that you can get this is all
in the game the point that I was making is none of this should have been behind
hundred percent locked stuff maybe some of it should have but the majority of
what this is like the the concept of the cycles the concept of killing
umbra the concept of multiple like that should not have been hidden behind
stuff that should have been in the main story that should have been part
of the main story the intro I also want to go back and watch the intro like the
intro should have shown cliff dying a bunch of times like that would have
immediately made the player be like what what's going on why is cliff dying a
bunch of times like that that would have asked that would have asked so
many questions and I don't even think the game alluded to multiple did at
any point the game even hint that we weren't the original cliff I'm trying
to like I'm frantically going back to my memory here they're had there had to
have been hints it's almost like the game wasn't based on the lore like this
is I'm I'm like I'm I'm I'm so I'm I can't even think properly right now I
I can't even think properly right now.
Check the first comment on the subreddit.
That's why there's 107 tally marks hidden in so many places.
It's the amount of times they've reset the timeline.
Thank you for this, you're a legend. Where?
Dude.
That's that's crazy.
That's fun.
Oh, look, it's Manta floppy.
That's the guy that told us about the thread right there.
Manta floppy.
That's him in chat.
Nice.
Cool.
Man, that's dude.
I'm just I'm I'm baffled by this.
I'm baffled by this.
This, this is the found.
This is all the tools to craft an awesome like witcher three
Re-level main story like this. There's there's so many twists and turns you can put in this and some of these cycles sound like they're awesome
Oh
Yeah, that's rough. That's rough. So anyway, you know what this just shows me
I'm gonna go back to the very first thing that I played or the very first thing I said. Yeah, this game is nothing about its main story
main story
Like it's there
It's there. It may be the most their main story I've ever played in the game.
And knowing that it could have been even slightly like this, and they apparently just forgot
they wrote all this at some point, but like, I'm baffled by this, and what's even crazier
is like there's so many lines in here, there's so many things in here that if we had gotten
this information would have made the main story make more sense. It would have been more interesting.
It would have been more engaging if like a lot of this information was in the game somewhere.
And it's honestly ridiculous how this is not part of the main quest and only a very
Every small minority of players will ever find this.
Read the last cycle.
Whoever it may be, we only hope they can fulfill our wish.
The next attempt will be our final chance.
Our wish must come to pass.
The Guardians realize their time-rewinding trick is about to come to use us as Umbra
also keeps evolving from each cycle, having already absorbed Caliburn and Mere Deer.
And we'll likely overcome cliff the only thing left is to change is to add an external variable whoever it may be is
Probably breaking the fourth wall and referring to the actual player taking control of kiff
Psycho what oh my god was the arm at the end us?
Was that supposed to be the king player?
was that us and
And we were saving cliff
And nobody would have known that we wouldn't have guessed that we wouldn't even hit there's no reason
No reason we ever would have even posited that as an option if we had not read this
That's like the twist of the game!
They put a twist in that they don't even give you the tools to realize it's a twist!
What a waste!
What an absolute freaking waste!
I can't believe this!
This is narratively one of the largest crimes ever committed.
Oh my God, the only crime in a video game I can say that is narratively more egregious
than this is Outlast 2.
Stay with me.
Outlast 2 is actually connected directly to Outcast 1, but the only way you know that
is if you find like six hidden notes in the game that aren't even on the main path.
So in Outlast 2, it's actually everything about Outlast 2 is in the same world as Outlast
1.
But the main story doesn't even allude to that unless you find the optional stuff.
And what's even worse is Outlast 2 doesn't make almost any sense by itself, so if you
don't get the optional stuff and connect it, it's just a mess.
And that's why it actually wasn't highly rated, because a lot of people, I'm sorry, outcasts,
right?
Outcast, outcast, outcast, outcast.
Okay, one of those.
The scary game.
The scary game that has two of them.
But dude, like this is baffling to me.
This is baffling.
Like this is so...
Nani?
The only thing that could be cool here.
Wait, wait.
The only thing that could be cool here is what if this is all for a DLC or something?
What if this is future content?
What if playing through the cycles and stuff is going to be like a future thing?
I don't know.
That's it. I don't know seems like
Like maybe maybe I'm I'm I'm sitting here going the reason that I'm so fervent about this situation
Is because I hate seeing something interesting be wasted
So my my the reason I'm so mad about this is because this is
An actual cool story to play through and it bugs me that I feel like they wasted it with crimson desert
But maybe they didn't so maybe maybe they didn't
Maybe they're going to use this in like, maybe all this stuff is still going to be used in
future content.
Man, I hope so.
God, I hope so.
Because like, oh my God, dude, this main story could have been awesome.
Can you imagine if this game had released with all of the amazing sandbox stuff it had
and this story was in it and fleshed out well?
Like if this was in the game and properly done with good cutscenes and good reveals
and good twists, that is the blueprint of an awesome story.
That would have been...
Oh my lord.
Yeah.
There's also a lot of interesting things in this story that would lead to some very
cool gameplay things.
I love the idea that you could potentially play as different versions of Cliff for major
fights.
sorts of super interesting stuff they could have done and also I'm really surprised they didn't
like the only person in this that could have given us any real insight on what's going on are the
people involved with the cycle or cliff like I feel like I feel like if but man this brings up like
there's so many questions here so so cliff in the gray means we're cliff in the gray
remains in every cycle. Like they said, Cliff fell. Sometimes sometimes Cliff became corrupted.
And I got so many questions. But yeah, I don't even I don't know if Cliff knows that's true. Like
if they made it sound like when they rewind, they reset him. So but something is not resetting
because the marks are on the walls, right? So if you wouldn't you wouldn't put a whole,
well, maybe you could you'd put a whole bunch of new marks. But I would think that for every
new one you put a new mark but maybe not maybe they just track them all the time every time but
yeah i don't know man i don't know oh that's right umbra isn't resetting and the abyss isn't resetting
so yeah that sucks man that really sucks i feel like if they would have nailed this story that
that crimson desert could be in game of the year talks especially considering what's in the game
currently. What's in the game is not good. There were good story beats, there were cool cutscenes,
there were some interesting self-contained things, but the overall story beginning to end of Crimson
Desert, I would not even rank that in my top 50. It was disjointed. It didn't make sense.
Motivations were all over the place. A lot of times, like this says, enemies would say dialogue
that don't really make sense. But now that we know this, the dialogue not only makes sense,
it's kind of awesome. Like that whole part of the end, knowing that Umbra had fought us multiple
times, knowing that he had absorbed Mjolnir, knowing that he had absorbed, like knowing
there had been this massive other story happening that we never got to know about.
like umbra was talking to us like we knew but cliff couldn't have known so
there's no way that like there's so much oh my god dude this is killing me but yeah
it was um that was a thing that was a thing I can say that it it definitely
felt like especially looking at it now like that that was a very rushed interpretation of this story
like I feel like I feel like they
yeah I feel like they had two stories for this game they had the story of cycle 107
and they had the story of the world and everything
and I think they erroneously thought that that second part was world lore
like Elden Ring style stuff. Like we don't need to tell the player this. They only need to see
the stuff in 107. And I think that was a huge mistake. I think that's, I think that's what it
comes down to. Like they thought this was ancillary stuff that was cool to know. But no, you actually
kind of need to know this stuff. Like this is need to know to enjoy the main story and
understand what's going on in Crimson Desert. You need to know this stuff. And that means
it should have been part of the main story. So, Revan Badass says, maybe your reaction
is what they wanted and instead of getting sent to Reddit, you were supposed to be driven
to solve all the puzzles. That's an insane thing to say. To provide a disjointed, confusing
cacophony of events that take a long time to do and then get to the end and not
even give a hint that doing hours and hours of more work might get you some insight, that's insane.
Like, like if any story requires that, I would argue that's not a story meant for general consumption.
That's a niche different thing. So that's a you problem, Ko, pretty much, pretty much that's a me
problem. But no, man, like this is this is wild. This is wild. It makes the story seem so much
cooler. That makes the abyss make more sense. That makes the entire end sequence make more
sense. That makes some of Cliffs weird stuff make sense. If I were Pearl Abyss, I would
take a couple months and I would either add in or change the main story to more reflect
What is in here the player the player by the end of the game, especially by the epilogue
Like the player needs to know that there there's been cycles that umbra has been getting bigger that umbra
Absorbed other people like like there's just so much more information
There's so much more information player needs to know by the end of the game. That's just not here
and it'd be really cool to like if you really cool to see all
of this done
properly I
I might even play the game again if they did that
Because I like this I everything I'm seeing here like there's some there's some really cool stuff in here, man
Cycle do they didn't even pick cliff by cycle four
Geez
And this is why those little kids keep messing with us when we're wearing the bells.
I was wondering why we had an army of children trying to mess with us.
There it is!
Okay.
Again, never explain why there was just this army of magic kids giving a shit.
Never explain.
There you go.
So they were brought in to assist the whole...
so they know. They may even know the cycles are happening then. Wait a second, wait a second, wait a
second. If the Shies are magical beings that are tied, the Shies might have been there for all the
cycles too. I attempted to make Kourush his ally, however the humans locked him up in a zoo. In his
despair, he slaughtered everyone in the vicinity. We're left with deep regret and frustration.
Karush, the monkey-like monster you fight in the dining hall early in the game, was initially
set to be your ally, but things go wrong.
This is probably why he decides to run away and later helps you during the White Horn
boss fight.
So that's why he does that.
Oh, I can't, I can't read this anymore.
I can't, I can't read this anymore.
You know what?
I am done with Crimson Devil.
I'm done.
I'm finished.
I'm, I'm Benito complete.
I'm I'm done. I'm done.
That's I like, oh my God, man, I this this.
This has been one of the most interesting games
that I think I've ever seen rules, please come through.
Like just the sheer amount of.
Incredible features.
And especially when the game came out.
Some of the worst game design I've ever seen in my life,
some of the worst UI and button configuration
I've literally ever seen in any game.
Partnered with some of the best sandbox gameplay
I've ever seen, gorgeous, gorgeous game.
Tons to see and do everywhere.
Many games all over the place that were fun and enjoyable.
Possibly one of the worst stories I've played
in a game when when taken as a whole piece
that's built on some of the cooler lore I've ever seen.
It's like a pendulum, man.
I'm sitting here like a clock.
Like I don't like where do we even it just it just it just
and then it's good and then it's terrible and it's pretty good.
But now it's like, oh my God, dude, I'm baffled.
I'm baffled by this game.
It's it's.
And what's even funnier about this is this is this is exactly one of those games
where it's like, if you latch onto the things that are good, it's like game of the year.
But if you can't get into what's good, you're looking at people going, how are you even playing
this?
This is garbage.
Like, like, everyone wins.
Um, I don't, it's, you know, everyone has a foot to stand on, I guess.
I don't know.
It's, it's, it's crazy.
It's crazy.
Um, yeah.
Yeah.
Now, and I, and I go back to that, I go back to that quote from Will Powers in
the interview we did when he just looked in the camera, he's like, there's nothing
else like crimson desert. Agreed. Agreed. It's the worst best game of the year. Like I don't
I this is this has been a wild project, wild project. But you know what, I'm really glad
we played it. I will super give credit to Pearl Abyss for sticking with the game, keeping
the patches coming. That's awesome. I will say this for the last time and again, I really
hope Pearl Abyss considers redoing the main story. Maybe not redoing it, but adding in
so much of that document. They should add an entire DLC or expansion that just peppers
the main story with more cut scenes, maybe not DLC because that has to charge money,
they should not charge money for this.
But they should like, we need more information.
We need information from those books at the end of the game.
Those need to be required reading in the main story.
Those books are not optional.
I don't know who at Pearl Abyss saw that and thought, you know what, this would
be good to put behind 240 hours of content and 40 abyss puzzles. That's how we're going
to make the players get to this stuff. Nay, friend. The stuff that you said that about
me is it is literally required reading for the class that is Crimson Desert 101. Like
you you have to know that to understand the game. It is not optional. Optional stuff
is cool when it's like extra or ancillary or explain something you kind of knew but
didn't really did, but the stuff in that, you're, I mean, like, it, it's, it's, you're
trying to eat dinner without utensils with this game.
All of that information is the utensils.
You're not giving us the proper tools to enjoy your game.
I don't know what else to say whoever made that decision, that was a bad decision.
Like you are literally not giving us what we need to enjoy the very clearly awesome
well-written world that you tried to give us because, man, it's crazy.
It's crazy.
They gave us a bowl of soup and then they gave us a fork.
I don't, I don't, I'm, I'm, wow, it's, yeah, it's crazy, it's crazy.
But dude, I would love to see this game realized with that end part, end part in
play because I think it'd be awesome. I think it would explain more, it would make things
make more sense. We would be on board with Cliff having such a muted dialogue instead of
it being a massive negative. I don't know. I don't know. And what's even crazier is
I think they could properly, if they were to take the information in that book and
and split it up a few times and maybe obfuscate a little bit and make it mandatory reading
at a few parts during the main quest and then add in a couple cut scenes that better explain
the fact that the witches are doing cycles.
We don't need to know everything in the end books.
There's a lot of good info in it.
We don't need to know everything, but we need to know the framework in which to
understand the events of Crimson Desert, and we do not get that information.
Like, if I wasn't even hinted that there were psych- excuse me, I bet we were hinted many times,
but nothing was overt enough for me to understand that there were cycles.
I did not pick up at any point that we were resetting, and if I had, I probably would have
to look at a lot of things differently. I would have looked at a lot of things differently, but
yeah, like it's like I'm reading that Reddit thread, there was an entire universe in this game
that I didn't even know existed. I didn't even know existed. And what's even crazier is that
universe makes the game cool. People are saying wait, we reset in game. No, no, no. So for anyone
we're just tuning in and I'm gonna go here in this minute but I'm just so for anyone just tuning in
what we learned at the end of Crimson Desert in optional content is that the world had actually
reset a hundred and seven times and that we were the hundred and seventh iteration of Cliff
and the witches were the ones running this to try to defeat Umbra which was like apparently
the ultimate evil which we didn't even know we were chasing for most of the game we didn't
even understand our purpose for most of the game we're the 108th thank you so it's like
Like, the TLDR is, you get to the end of Crimson Desert after a very confusing, nonsensical
story and then after 40 plus more hours of playing, you get access to documents that
basically explain the world.
So yeah, that's a thing.
Anyway, that's Crimson Desert.
This has been an experience for sure.
But you know what?
I'm super.
Yeah, literally an MMO story.
You know what's even crazier?
I'm realizing, dude, the fact that they made the fourth wall jump at the end, that is
such an MMO story.
That is such an MMO story.
the player right the player is the one like like oh it is a hundred percent an MMO story
so it's like that's your that's your standard MMO main story and and it's like
and with and what's even Walter's we don't even know if that's the case
maybe maybe maybe that was supposed to be us maybe it wasn't like I don't I don't even I don't
I don't even know.
I don't even know.
Order 66.
Oh, this is interesting.
This is the first time I've read this.
What you're not understanding is that everything is explained in New Game Plus.
Nanny.
I'm going to be blunt with you.
I didn't even know this game had New Game Plus.
Is that you saying that they would expect you to play this game for 240 hours in the sandbox and then New Game Plus it?
What?
That has to be a troll.
It has to be a troll.
Okay.
Yeah.
Chats chasing.
They think that's bait.
Okay.
Okay.
I was gonna say that would have been, that would have been, that would have been too much,
dude.
That would have been too much.
It would have been hilarious.
But it would have been too much.
It would have been too much.
Um, man.
Oh yeah.
I really do.
I really feel like this game could have used another year.
Oh man.
Imagine if this game had like,
well I was gonna say an EA,
but you couldn't really do an EA with a game like this.
I would've lost a lot of its magic if you did that.
But I feel like this game came out
and nobody had played it before it came out.
I don't know how else to say it.
Like this game came out and none of the controls
made sense, there was no QOL.
Like, it was, I really feel like they made this game
and nobody played it before they released it.
And then it came out.
And all of a sudden they're scrambling like, what?
Oh, you want this?
You want these keys?
What?
Oh, you think the controls are terrible?
Okay.
We'll change them.
Um, what do you want?
Anything?
Okay.
We'll give you, here's a one big patch, two big patch, three big patch.
And it's like, where was all this during development?
Okay.
Where?
It's where did nobody mention to this during development?
Like this stuff was just bonkers bad.
Like, how did this, how did we get here?
Did no one play the game?
But it was, and now the story, now we're finishing it in the story.
It feels the same way.
the story feels the same way. Did you play through the main story? Because it doesn't really make
sense. Like, did you actually play it? Or did you just make it and put it out there?
So I like, I don't know. I don't know. But it's, it's hopefully it'll get it's,
it'll find its legs. And, and I would love to return to this game. They do know, correct me
if I'm wrong, they've already announced expansion content, right? Like either an expansion or a
a DLC or something. Um, so the, the only, the only, have they announced that? Or am I
thinking of something else?
I'm not seeing, I'm not seeing a bunch of yeses from chat. So maybe that's not
right. Okay. So no, they haven't announced DLC or expansion yet. Okay. So I
will say this though, I will say this. If they were to make an expansion or
DLC that like really dives into this story stuff.
And better yet, did it in a way where you could do the DLC in line with the main story.
So it's like, you could either finish the game and do the DLC to get all the information.
Or if you started a new game with the DLC, you'd get all those story beats during the main story.
Like, oh, man. Yeah, I think I think that might get that might make me replay it.
maybe
maybe
maybe
I do realize that I'm leaving this game with a lot of unfinished stuff and I think I think I'm I think I want to do that on purpose
a part of me wants to go back and finish the sandbox but a part of me wants to like a part of me wants to see if they do something about this
I feel like this is too bad for them not to address
I feel like something has to be done like I don't I don't I can't imagine that the team is content with this
Especially the writers and like
Like I feel like there's gonna be more so I think I'm gonna save I think I'm gonna save Crimson desert
I think I'm gonna save the sandbox for that time. I think I may revisit it down the road and
and move on for now instead of finish the sandbox because there's a lot of special in here, man
I mean, I know I've been ranting and stuff, but
There's there's a reason that I would sit here and can and complain about the main story as much as I do and not
Just say it's not good and move on the reason I complained about this so much is because of how much I freaking love this game
I mean I was in this game for a hundred hours, dude
Like this game was awesome
Um, and and I really hope I really hope that they that they kind of realize this vision play time
152 hour play time for Kimson desert
For achievements wait what?
What are the achievements I got for in a hundred and fifty two hour run yeah, I would
Wow, I'm not even a good gamer Oh, it's mostly like it's mostly like a this Oh all the achievements
like for finishing all of the sandbox content like finishing abyss finish the oh okay wow
that's hard core dude that is hard core gun says and says i did a 250 hour run and got four achievements
Wow, wow, that's a thing.
Recusses I'm one away from the plat.
If that's true from the looks of it, you're one of very few, dude.
Um, yeah, yeah.
But what do you know?
Achievements in a game that was supposed to be an MMO involved grinding.
Who'da thought?
Who'da thought, right? Yeah, that's crazy. Anyway, guys, I am out of here. I'm gonna take
the rest of the afternoon off to recover from this. I will see all of you fine folks tomorrow
morning for Ceros. I may be back this evening, but probably not. But I should be here tomorrow
night for sure. Tomorrow's gonna be Ceros and probably Windrows. I think we might try
to finish up Windrows tomorrow, but what that does mean is that we may have a slot
opening up for a new game or actually like getting a time.
So I'm wondering like, I mean, I need to come to you guys
and see what we want to what we want to do because there we
were going to have some options.
I may even I may even put up a vote to be honest,
because there's a lot of games I would I would and want to
play, but I'm not really so married to the order on them.
We can check out the Arc Raiders map.
Industry two came out.
I kind of want to check that out.
Um, Death Stranding to mouse PI.
There's a new here's a might magic get the D4 bag.
Oh, no, I turned down the D4 sponsorship.
Yeah, I don't, I don't really want to play Diablo right now.
Um, the art content's nice.
Yeah.
Have you played it the map?
That could be cool.
Mouse could be, your mouse could be fun.
Mouse VIP or mouse PI, excuse me.
I see IP before us fishing now.
I know, I know, yeah, replaced.
I'm waiting.
I'm waiting for some patches for replaced.
I'm waiting for some patches for anyway, you know, we got options.
We got options.
So we'll figure something out.
But what I can tell you is there will be games, games, games, games here on the channel.
And I hope to see you there for them.
If you're new to the channel, we love to get that follow button.
We're happy.
Have for a special community.
We love me.
New people in the first steps in the fall button.
Thanks to all the dude.
We really appreciate it on that note.
I'm out of here for now.
I will see you tomorrow for seros in the morning or probably some
windrows in the afternoon, maybe something else.
We'll see. And on that note, thanks for hanging out with me, guys.
Thanks for putting up with my rants.
And it's always fun talking about this stuff with y'all.
Have a great one. Thanks for being here. Bye bye.
Goodbye!
You again. By order of Mordaxius, the true master of the Acolytes, your life must remain
vanquished. Don't resist. We'll be quicker that way.
All these empty houses with nothing but sorrow and shadows in them.
I see your view.
Ignore the clouds in your mind.
The villagers need your help, and the Vetrometis is no place for the Vrithians.
It will be a difficult task, but together we will be there for this time.
Find the same place, and hone your skills, prepare for the challenges ahead, and there we will be.
For the eternal prison, there's no bounds.
There's no way out of this prison wanderer.
No more from the unceasing grip of death.
3, 2, 1.
It's a boy.
It's a boy.
That's awesome.
It's a little boy?
Oh, that is awesome.
Oh, we're going to have three little boys.
Oh man, it's going to be crazy.
I knew it.
I'm going to have three boys.
With me, we can be the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
Super!
I always wanted to end the world.
Oh my god, your son is gorgeous.
Thank you.
I agree.
He's a little furrier than I was expecting, but, you know, he's pretty good.
I mean, listen to those purrs he does, you see that?
Pretty cute.
Pretty cute.
Hi.
This is Gary's second visit today.
Who's in those purrs?
Those babies, man.
Those mother-f***er babies, man.
Oh, God!
This has been a very frustrating night in the world.
This has been a very frustrating night in this game.
This is a video game.
This overlord.
Amen.
Praise accepted.
I wonder if that's what it's like up in heaven after every prayer.
Praise accepted.
