@@chillatrix They literally put out these compilations all of the time. You also have no respect for their work by doing this.

Sad the finale was officially canceled but not surprised. The YIIK series has a special place in my heart and its my favorite oneyplays series with DD & J ever. I still use it as sleep aid semi often. 💕
It’s a shame the finale got canceled. Hopefully one day Chris releases the rough draft of what he wanted to do, or even just the footage/audio of the boys reaction to the ending. But if he doesn’t want to due to Dingdong and Julian distancing themselves from OneyPlays, that’s understandable as well.
They're not distancing themselves from Chris. If they were, they wouldn't have done LPs when he last visited, and Dingdong wouldn't have joined in LPs when he last visited Chris.
@@MoonspiderHugs Chris mentioned that he talks to DD&J often in the same post that the final cancelation was made public. DD&J seem to be just done with the whole LP thing and want to focus on their game projects from now on. They do occasionally stream though.
@@Heavysweating Considering that they seem to run into controversy quite a bit through LPs for whatever reason (rarely their fault as well), I can't blame them for their decision.
Genuinely so sad this game wasnt good. The idea of Michael being a SUPER boring and basic best friend character making you generally dislike him only for him to get fucked up near the end of the game would have been such an amazing idea. Having a character be PURPOSELY vanilla and boring to make the player feel terrible for basically fucking up this poor guys life would have hit so hard emotionally.
2:26:00 No matter how many times I watch best of compilations of YIIK, That knock is so realistic that it gets me to take off my headphones and check every time.
It's still really infuriating that Michael, a character the game forgets about for 90% of the story ends up being the one that makes the most sense in the endgame. He is the only one calls the Essentia out on her BS and understands they should NOT be trusting her. Speaking about Essentia she is literally the worst character to be added to the party, not necessarily from a battle system point of view but the moment she is introduced as Chris points out the cast lose all their character progression (as little as it may have been) and become complete morons
She also doesn’t really add much as a character to the rest of the cast. Doesn’t play off them or have any sort of interesting dynamic aside from being Alex’s toy Vella, as creepy as that sounds. Like while the cast and their dynamics are rough and could be better, they still have stuff that could be interesting. Essentia has nothing
There are solid lore reasons for why all this is. Doesn’t mean you have to like it, but it’s all planned out in a way that makes sense, while also not being satisfying in a traditional narrative sense. Of course, if you were expecting anything resembling a traditional narrative in a game with this title, I’ve got several bridges to sell you.
The payoff of the intro bit and the legendary Rory kiss are two of my favorite all time oneyplays moments. Also the turn around of absolutely hating Rory to him being the least hatable cast member, that was like the most satisfying character development. Not for Rory of course, for the oneyplays crew 😊
Its sad that after persevering through so much bad game design and soft locks they ended up ditching the finale. Hopefully they surprise us with it one day, but somehow I doubt it
i just really want them to release the last few minutes of footage as a substitute for the animation we were gonna get, maybe even see the voice lines they recorded with kirbopher. anything to fix my broken hoert... 💔
I just want to see the rest of the shit they recorded of the game itself! I watched this entire series the entire time, I suffered through YIIK at the same pace they did, why do I have to go find someone else's playthrough to see the literal final cutscene of the game or play it myself
I think it would have been funny if they left it open for long enough that the Yiik remake comes out so you could say "in the time it took Oneyplays to beat Yiik a new one got made"
I agree it’s a 5/10, but I do enjoy the satire of the end being like “this could have been the rpg you were playing” with cool outfits and weapons. I can somewhat appreciate it
That’s an interesting take! Since that was part of the hasty edit to make the game not end in Alex’s suicide, I don’t know if that interpretation was intended, but I enjoy that view. Since that classic RPG get-up crew is supposed to literally be you and your actual friends, just presented in warped Alex-o-vision like the rest of the game, the main thrust of that scene is bigging you up and making you and your friends look cool and thus admirable enough to Alex to inspire him to change from within and not follow the Essentia into death. But I do enjoy the idea of your interpretation - love to see a game execute that with more build-up.
Anyone kind of excited for the upcoming YiiK stuff? There's a weird standalone/prequel thing and apparently a total overhaul to the base game. If its half good that would actually be the best timeline, but you know we're watching with vested interest for more yiiking out.
@@BaddabyThe thing is, they are keeping most of the stuff people enjoyed riffing on like the vast majority of Alex’s dialogue, the awkward character relationships, and the weird visuals, while fixing the bad stuff that people genuinely hated suffering through, like load times, crashes, and the battle system, as well as making the monologues more visually interesting. It’s still gonna be real interesting to watch people react to it, especially the people expecting “vibrating with motion” and the like to be edited out, when all that goodness is firmly staying in.
Goddamn I took an inset break for months ended up watching Smosh of all things. It's ok but god damn is oneyplays just the best. Miss Dingdong and Julian tho
What’s up, fellow Yiikheads? Watching this to ready myself for the H Y P E sequel! I’m joking, but I have heard that the sequel actually tries to be better?
It’s less a sequel and more just an update/overhaul that keeps the core premise and most of the script while adding a bunch of new stuff and polish, a la No Man’s Sky. Whether it will be as successful as that redemption story is still heavily in question.

@@alalvarez7301 I mean that's fair. And to clarify, I'm not some avid Arin Hanson Defender or something. I just don't think we have enough information on what all went down to properly place blame to the right people. We know some of the shittiness that went down, but not *all*.
Played a bunch of the new demo that shows off the new stuff in Yiik I.V. and the load times are like 100x faster and it's too early for a final judgment, but the new battle system completely ditches the minigames in favor of a card-centric turn-based thing where the basic dungeon battles take like 30 seconds instead of 5 minutes. Also whenever Alex starts monologuing it cuts to him on a stage like he's doing a one-man show. Absolutely Yiiking out waiting for the patch to drop.
It’ll be real interesting to see what the general reaction is, because they honestly aren’t changing that much. The plot and characters look to be largely the same, with almost all of the most hated/ridiculed Alex dialogue still present, but given a new visual framing device, as you mention. Will that relatively small change be enough for audiences? The combat is absolutely better but still feels too fiddly and rough in a way that still causes the battles to distract from the puzzle narrative - but they are undeniably shorter, so will that be enough for audiences? The biggest question is how much more obvious will the puzzle narrative and its solution (baked right into the title of the game) be, and will that being more obvious allow audiences to give YiiK the benefit of the doubt while still being an RPG where you are asked to roleplay as an unlikable, insufferable character who drove away all his real friends and has to invent fake ones? And will the new characters successfully make it clear that YiiK is trying to criticize the fetishization of asian girls and not just repeat it? If the Acck team can pull it off, kudos to them, but it’s going to be fascinating to see if all that hard work to make YiiK more palatable while not losing its core identity will pay off, or if people will see that “vibrating with motion” or “ginger is OUR word, don’t use that word” or any of the others are still there and just write it off again.
It’s one of many clues as to the nature of the game’s reality. The game is hitting you over the head with evidence that Alex is an extremely unreliable narrator who is unable to look at reality head-on. This is supposed to build on from the infamous “NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR DEAD SISTER” scene, where Alex is desperately trying to not think about his OWN missing/dead sister, Allison. This is intended to culminate in the player realizing that everything we are shown in the game is Alex-o-vision, inside Alex’s head. Because the real Alex is a lonely goon in the 2010’s who drove all his friends away. The problem is that this doesn’t really click until the second playthrough at least, and for most people the third or fourth playthrough, which is a frankly ludicrous amount of playtime to ask for an already 20-30 hour slog with no mechanical New Game Plus.
this game could have so much potential as something inspired by SNES and Playstation RPGs but instead was ruined by Reddit-tier writing and the desperation to pander towards the kinds of people who played these games in their childhood.
Has Reddit just replaced 4chan and SomethingAwful for zoomers? Because those are what this game is inspired by and about. Does Reddit now have their cultural cachet?
The funniest thing is that the multiverse in Yiik doesn’t even matter. Vella comes from a world exactly like the one she’s in and doesn’t have any issue adjusting to her new reality. Our Alex is the only one that matters because he “developed” and became a better person. All this alternate dimension stuff could be cut out of the game and be replaced with spooky supernatural stuff. You could just change proto Alex to some evil deity and it wouldn’t change anything because Alex and Proto Alex are two completely separate people. And Michael’s soul space journey can very easily be reworked to his soul being temporarily severed from his body or simply cut it out the game since it doesn’t even effect the plot, it’s just meaningless conflict that ultimately goes nowhere.
@@kingcyclops4079You’re almost there. It’s not that the multiverse doesn’t matter, it doesn’t exist. It’s a bunch of bullshit a pretentious 2010’s SomethingAwful goon is telling himself to try and come to terms with being locked in his own head. The actual story of YiiK is very mundane and small.
They said it on a recent stream, I guess they all got too busy doing their own things (they're all developing their own video games) and they decided to cancel it
@@infsm27 BowlBo has been in production for longer than the YIIK finale and the last progress update they had for it was in 2021. I'd bet Chris is just getting more involved with animation again since Zach's show is actually popular on something other than just TH-cam. Apparently there's even been a couple times in some streams where he's mentioned BowlBo and people are starting to think that's gonna be cancelled too
Even disregarding that art is subjective, it’s hard for plots to be inherently good or bad, because plots are just the shape of an idea - it’s the execution that counts. The “plot”, the basic description of a hot dog sounds fucking awful, yet hot dogs are delicious. The plot of YiiK is straightforward and solid. A barely graduated pretentious 2010’s goon is unable to deal with the reality of being an adult and mentally retreats to a vidjya-flavoured nostalgic delusion where he must escape or die. There are compelling, understandable, and satisfying ways to tell that story, and there are boring, inexplicable, annoying ways to tel that story.

Chris said in an Elder Scrolls stream that it basically was too much effort, not enough interest, and schedule conflicts.
where did they post about the finale not coming out? :0 This video is how I'm finding out it's cancelled lol
You're not funny
They said it on a recent stream, I guess they all got too busy doing their own things (they're all developing their own video games) and they decided to cancel it
@@notveryniceatallyou're not very nice at all 😢
@@infsm27 BowlBo has been in production for longer than the YIIK finale and the last progress update they had for it was in 2021. I'd bet Chris is just getting more involved with animation again since Zach's show is actually popular on something other than just TH-cam. Apparently there's even been a couple times in some streams where he's mentioned BowlBo and people are starting to think that's gonna be cancelled too

Yes yes very good little girl
The dialogue is really really bad in this game
Could this possibly be the worst plot in existence?

Even disregarding that art is subjective, it’s hard for plots to be inherently good or bad, because plots are just the shape of an idea - it’s the execution that counts. The “plot”, the basic description of a hot dog sounds fucking awful, yet hot dogs are delicious.
The plot of YiiK is straightforward and solid. A barely graduated pretentious 2010’s goon is unable to deal with the reality of being an adult and mentally retreats to a vidjya-flavoured nostalgic delusion where he must escape or die. There are compelling, understandable, and satisfying ways to tell that story, and there are boring, inexplicable, annoying ways to tel that story.
