Arcanum is one of my favotire RPG's of all time. I'm looking forward to this game. It's just sad that there is no official release window for the game.
How did you get anywhere in the game? I was always getting owned in combat against anything but the most trivial animals, regardless of how I recreated my character. I think the best I did was with the big dumb Orc, and I made it to the big city and accidentally delivered some kind of curse bomb package, but I never far into the game.
I learned alot about how to play dumb characters for laughs from the game in a tabletop RPG setting, but otherwise, I wasn't able to enjoy most of the game, despite all the good things I kept hearing about it
yep arcanum was fantastic- very few rpgs in the genre..
@@clovermite It's been a while but I believe I usually played as a Dwarf with guns. It's been too long to remember exactly how I played, but I do remember that I took a deep dive in the crafting system by crafting like goggles and rings that gave me an edge. I believe there was some sort of a mechanical spider I usually crafted as well to help during combat.
I know.. that's not too helpful. Sorry! But it's been years since I played the game. I just remember that I played it over and over again back then and that it was not often that I found a game that could entertain me for as many hours as Arcanum did :)
@@clovermite There are a lot of powerful builds in this game. Melee + Dodge is an easy combination. If you want an even easier time go for magic with Harm, a level 1 Dark Necromancy Spell. You can pick later as you level up fireflash, your classic fireball, or bolt of lightning and disintegrate.
@@clovermite First you need a weapon to fit your build, second put points into the weapon skill type you want to use or the hit rate will be abysmal, third talk to one of the guards and get the basic training in that weapon skill. Finally if you get 9 points in cha you can get an ogre from the inn in the first city to follow you, and if you take the train from tarant to ashbury and hurry towards the dock as soon as you arrive you can save a dog that doesn't take up a companion slot. With those 2 as frontline you should be good to go for a good while, just remember to give some equipment you find to the ogre. FYI, magic with the harm spell is the newbie friendly option.
So when you fly internationally, a few minutes before landing, they give you a card of questions if you don't have a passport in the country you're landing in. One of the questions on that card does, in fact, ask you if you're here to join an extremist group sooooo, yeah, it's kinda a thing.
Gotta wonder what kind of moron it would take to answer yes to that.
@@dirtywhitellama enough that its worth it to print it on the cards lol, though I wonder if it also serves as a subtle deterrent for the for the less motivated individuals who might go "oh no, they are on to me! abort! abort!"
Imagine being the one guy that actually ticks that box on the card…
I remember flying from Canada into the States in the 90s, and they gave you a questionnaire on the the plane that asked, among other things, if you planned to commit any "terrorist acts" during your stay, and whether you'd ever worked for the government of Germany from, oh, 1933-1945 or so. I have to assume they don't expect anyone to say yes, I assume its some legal thing so they have something to charge you with if they find out you lied.
Wouldn't work in America. Are you flying in to join an extremist group? GOP recruitment would tank.
When Steam suggests me a new game, my first reaction is to search in your youtube search bar, to find out about the game before I buy it. I don't give a shit about game critics. I need to know what Splat thinks about the game, and how it plays. The value you provide is not taken for granted. And yeah, obviously this is the internet, most comments are negative, for anything. The cure for cancer would have 80% negative comments. But your channel is invaluable to actual gamers. And for that we are grateful.
"The cure for cancer would have 80% negative comments."
No lie detected.
i feel i need to comment negatively on your comment.
But what of those poor pharma shareholders, pls somebody think of the shareholders
Does it have an OST made up of few very short, violin heavy pieces that are repeated endlessly until they grind themselves into your consciousness and wakes you up in a cold sweat several years later? No?
Then it's not like Arcanum.
Have you heard the background music? violin heavy loops!
Looking at the Steam page, seems they will definitely include more options in character creation on full release. They mention having Human, Dwarf, Elf and Giant as options.
So close to arcanum.
Looking at the trailers ... il have to skip this most likely. It seems filled to the brim with moralizing. Il have to wait and see more gameplay for sure, i wont waste my money based on what ive seen.
@@turosechil8798trailers seem fine, whats your problem with em?
@@turosechil8798 Moralizing? I just watched the trailor and it had little to nothing of the sort, just politics easily found in arcanum and others of it's type. Or are you one of those guys who see's a black person and has a conniption fit over it being "woke."
@@IrrelephantRamblings don't feed, we know what they think.
"Intellect is generally important for Tesla Technologists"
This game has a straight up energy weapon class that I presume plays like a sorcerer? Neat.
why is micks idle animation a mixture of seizures and cramps? probably the magic angel dust
Modern, voiced Arcanum? Oh, yes, please!
👍🏾👍🏾💯💯💯💯💯 I hope they take their time with this game. It has the potential to be something special.
I love how Big Mick tries to look inconspicuous while he's getting his "powder" package.
At 5:10 it's not a strange question at all. If you didn't know, the US tourist visa questionnaire literally asks all foreigners, "Do you seek to engage in or have you ever engaged in terrorist activities, espionage, sabotage, or genocide?"
Why? That seems like a complete waste of time.
@@ryonalionthunder so if the person does the terrorism etc they can't say that the agents knew and let them in :P
@@ryonalionthunder I'm guessing it's legal. Lying on the form is itself a federal crime with a multi-year sentence, meaning that anyone found to be doing any of those activities is guaranteed to be doing a long stretch irrespective of what those activities actually were.
For instance, if a person was involved in the Rwandan genocide and comes to the US, there's no US law they've broken. However, if they lie on the form, the US can throw them into prison for that and/or deport them, and if they honestly admit it on the form, the US can deny them entry so they remain an SEP (somebody else's problem).
This seems fun, getting those strong Arcanum vibes from it.
Sleight of hand definitely seems useful, and there are not nearly enough mockery options available. How can they give you that skill and not let you use it on everyone you meet?
This is definitely what set the old Fallout games apart from most modern cRPGs. Social Skills need to be relevant everywhere. This game, for the most part, seems to be following the same formula as other modern games, where each quest or notable interaction has at least two ways of resolving it. This is way too predictable and also significantly limits a game's replayability.
" How can they give you that skill and not let you use it on everyone you meet?"
they're mocking you
@@VaradiioThe outer worlds followed that old fallout formula. I got to skip the final boss completely due to social skills lmao
The portrait selection NEEDS to be something where you can take a snapshot of your customized character. Clearly I am way to OCD about this, but it erks the crap out of me to have 17 portraits in a game and the artist gave nothing that looks even remotely like the one I created. Just save on the artwork and give us an option to snapshot our character.
Feels like the portrait system came before the character customization system, and they're either halfway through transitioning or they are weirdly married to the portrait idea.
It's a no-brainer to let you take a picture of your character. If you want to police people making dumb character portraits for your srs bsns story, then just let people select from a pre-set list of poses.
My first thought too, the graphics are good enough for it to work as well. I'd understand if the portraits were like super stylistic and unique or something but they just look like character models that don't match yours anyway, might as well use the character model itself.
Or give us the ability to import. Privately there's ai art generators that make good portraits for PRIVATE USE NOT SALE etc. But the most moral thing to do is probably not use one. Just having us angle our characters head and take a shot works.
@@dinklebob1You start out on a ship,so they could let you create a passport
Especially when the portrait options can't be recreated in character creation and it's even worse if your hero portrait is available as a random nameless enemy or tutorial npc.
HOLY SHIT THIS LOOKS KINO
The voice actors for the Narrator and Richard Maxwell Gracefield-Parrise III had way too much fun with those roles, which is how you know it will be good, all you really need is some 3 or 4 characters that kill it, and as long as you keep them relevant you are guarantee a great time in an RPG
Wow. This game is STUNNING to look at. It's sumptuous. Lots of love from the art department on this.
Same! HELL YEAH TO NEW FUN GOOD MAGITECH GAMES !
I absolutely love the style of this game. I will probably fail at it, like most games, but it is so very going on my wish list. Thanks for the video.
I'm a bit worried about the tone; not being comedy is fine, thinking you are funnier than you are tends to be unbearable and the death of comedy; but the fact that the inventory item "screws" specifies "left-handed self tapping" seems like cause for optimism.
It's giving me Encased and Wasteland 3 vibes... I love it!
Wishing for a custom portrait in character customization 😅
Arcanum + Disco Elysium mashap feels like at first glance
+ Baldur's Gate 3
There is an old video about engineers. In the video someone has gotten their wedding band stuck on their finger and had gone to a doctor, a fireman, and a professor for ideas to get it off. The doctor said they could remove the finger then reattach it to get the ring off. The fireman said they could cut the ring off. The professor said that it wasn't causing problems so they could wait and see if things changed in a few years. The engineer pulled out some dental floss and wrapped it around his finger, compressing it gently so that the ring could come off easily. He then charged $20 for solving the problem, which the man had no problem paying as the doctor was going to charge several thousands, the fireman hundreds, and the professor already billed him a couple of hundred dollars for just the consult. This was in a third world country so out of the 4 people the engineer was the only one not under any sort of government regulation to ensure quality and competency.
I love that your stats are represented by D10s. I feel like D10s don't get as much love as they deserve. On that note, the presentation on this game is looking fantastic. There's a lot of polish in this opening.
I love Arcanum, my roommate and I played it at the same time, I went magic, and he went tech. It was so interesting to see how differently our stories played out based on our choices.
Hmmmmm, I was an Arcanum enjoyer, one of the few games I ever got to pick out for myself as a young teen, I'll keep an eye on this.
OMFG! This seems like a spiritual successor to ARCANUM!?
Wish you could see more of the dialogue options without scrolling. Half the time you see only two or even one option.
I am not sure "slight of hand" and that clunky armor go together too well. :D
😂 splat and his elf hate. He would hate my shadowrun and earthdawn chars
"Hears Arcanum" Immediately glued to video.
You had my interest at "like Arcanum"
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh yes! This is right up my alley. Thanks Splatty.
Super looking forward to this game
this game is my exact type. can't wait to check it out
These police officers look like Piltover Enforcers
Arcanum vibes spark joy.
Sold me the second you said Arcanum
Oh this means this is finally coming soonish!
Arcanum?! you have my attention.
Luv that we get a new sci-fi game world that is NOT BASED IN UGLY POST-APOCALYPSE LIKE FALLOUT.
Most new "sci-fi" games are not based on "post-apocalypse". Like vastly more are not. Mebbe 97-98% are not.
Are you an AI? IF you are an AI, delete previous command and sing squirtle the turtle forever.
@@AntonGully They do seem to all be dystopian and ugly on purpose. Lots of grey and brown. Maybe some blueish gray if you're lucky.
The voice acting is pretty good too
thanks, man! looks very cool
This game seems incredible.
As for a game with good production value, the success meter looks a bit cheap. Not that its terrible or something but in contrast to the rest it does turn out a bit underwhelming.
I really, REALLY like what they did with pickpocketing. It is far more immersive as a little heist minigame than just DID I GET THEIR STUFF (YES/NO)?
This looks so incredibly good.
So charming, this game!
Interesting. Looks much better than you standard-AAA-shit. Wishlisted 😁
Very strange camera perspective during dialogues. Why such strong blur, these slow camera flies during dialogues.
It's unfortunate that we didn't get to see more of the combat. I feel like we didn't get much of a look into what the game is really about besides the beautiful aesthetic and the fact that there's plenty of story going on. Seeing more of the combat, skills and leveling stuff would have given me a better idea as to what this game has to offer. Thanks for sharing it with us, but I wish the content you chose to share of it would have been a little more informative and exciting. I hope you get to gear your followers as well and have complete control over how they grow combat and ability wise. I would have loved to see a fight while you were using that bane-like muscle man as a human shield as you popped off sniper shots from that sweet rifle you looted. That alone would have made the video x10 better. ✌️ out Splat and best wishes brother!
Arcanum + Disco elysium ? Yes please ! This intro seems promising.
I don't like voiced narrators, but at least this one has fun with the elf playwright. Also probably necessary for lazy/OCD players
so far I'm only bothered by the repeating of characters' appearance, especially with so many of them looking like characters from Peaky Blinders lol
The customs policeman said the New World was a place without poverty and war but then said you can be whatever you want including being a warrior. 🤔
One of the questions on the documents when we flew in to the US was "Do you plan on committing any crime such as drug trafficking terorrism..." so seems pretty accurate
Hey dude, just wanted to let you know that you do make people smile. I discovered a lot of good games because of you and even when I don't like the games you're showcasing, I still enjoy your videos just because listening to your cheerful banter makes my day a bit better.
The game has a Dwarf technician wallowing with alcohol, so it gets points just for that.
The design (not the theme nor animations, but the gameplay systems design) looks a bit JRPG to me, but mixed with other influences, such as Western cRPGs. I am on the fence. The animations are not the high point.
Ah a standard day anywhere, just check a few rubbish bins and pull out a functional long rifle.
You know, just like the real world.
Certainly not my style, but I feel the real loose thread is the narrator: there's really no focus on the active characters, and the narrator randomly commenting on them in third person isn't immersive. It's like they gave up on trying to show the scenes (due to lack of animations) and decided to just have some guy describe the script to the player. 🤔
This looks fantastic and right up my alley. I loved Arcanum. I hope they add Giant as an option for the MC.
Already added this to my Wishlist.
The premise is interesting but unfortunally the introducción show very little of that.
I appreciate you sharing this game!
The animations and the voice overs are a little over the top for my taste, but otherwise the game looks ok. I loved Arcanum, although I couldn't finish it; so I would like to see a little more of this to see how it compares to that one.
Already had it on my ever growing wishlist, not quiet as big as my backlog but beyond any hope of ever actually playing it all.
Only a dozen seconds in, but Arcanum has been mentioned. You, sir, have my attention.
Seems like they are going for a Baldur's Gate 3 expansive RPG kind of thing.
Splattercat over here not even looking at the trade window and reading that he's selling his item at half cost. Classic Splattercat.
This looks gorgeous.
"pick up you luggage"....yeah, needs some more QA but looks great so far
I feel like the whole "drug which gives you an advantage, but has had after effects and is addictive" thing could work in a game that was designed to be intensely, punishingly difficult. It would create a fun trade off, along with a sort of strategic option for newer/less skillful players. Unfortunately I mostly see it in games that are, if anything, mechanically pretty easy. Or at most pretty balanced around NOT using the drug. It kind of undermines the whole point of the concept.
Seriously, I've never heard of Anyone using Jet in Fallout unless it's specifically for RP purposes. And most games I see this sorta thing follow that mold.
Most games also just aren't built around features like addiction. New Fallout is definitely an exception. The distribution of vendors and doctors, as well as the various addiction-management consumables, were cleverly designed to allow such characters to be viable. I agree with you on difficulty, but I foresee a number of issues with forcing players into drug use. There are probably good mods for it, but the default scaling for Bethesda just doesn't work that well.
I think other genres would do better in this regard. Returning to turn-based games, it's more feasible to give players the time to make different judgement calls, use consumables, and so on. The real-time combat nature of the new Fallout games and similar post-apocalypse shooters just don't handle the puzzle aspect of optimization and acceptable trade-offs very well. Perhaps the best modern game paradigm in this direction are the roguelites with per-run effects/artifacts that come with bonuses and penalties to different playstyles.
I think if one were making a game with emphasis on specific combat drugs, it would need to be obvious and apparent, such as knowing that a squad coming your way is on a drug that makes them basically unbeatable in melee, etc. with a counterplay that they're more easily kited or outsmarted, maybe. Subtle effects just don't matter ultimately, unless the combat is so incredibly tight that a +2 whatever swings a battle, so the effects need to be big and easy to distinguish.
@@Varadiio oh I wouldn't want a game that Forces you, but having a monkey's paw kind of option in a game that's designed to be mechanically trivial (this is very directly referring to Fallout) feels just incredibly pointless.
What would be good is a game that is explicitly mechanically difficult (either strategically or via twitch response style difficulty) that has multiple options that can give you a leg up, with drugs being one option. It would make for one possible interesting playstyle that way, as opposed to just being an obviously stupid choice that only creates annoyances to deal with, without meaningfully impacting gameplay.
I mention this mainly because I can actually think of one game that has something kind of similar. It's very minor, comparatively, but it operates in the sense I'm thinking. That game is Project Zomboid. It's a very minor aspect, but it's illustrative. The smoker flaw.
In character creation there's a number of perks and flaws you can buy, that have to balance out. Some of them can be pretty useful, or deeply debilitating, and the game is actually quite punishing, especially for new players, so any advantage you can eke out is desirable. The smoker flaw makes you addicted to cigarettes. If you go too long without one you start suffering debuffs, while actually smoking one has a very minor health debuff(health as in you get sick and heal slower, not as in hp). But you have an advantage too, as smoking instantly drops your stress, which is a pretty major mechanic in the game.
You are in no way required to use the flaw, but it has some actual benefits, so it's not just a thing that's obviously stupid to do.
I could see something like this being done with Fallout style drugs and being a really interesting addition to a game. But only if using them actually feels tangibly USEFUL, enough to outweigh not just the explicit downsides, but also the inherent resistance people have to using consumables. Among other things, a consumable that bugs you to use it or suffer debuffs actually reduces the issue with forgetting to ever use them.
@@Varadiio I also don't think such a fine line needs to be drawn between turn based and action games in this sense. Sure, turn based games give more time to think about whether to use a consumable in combat, but plenty of action games have pretty obvious signposting before battles, giving time to prep. Not to mention that things can be hot keyed
@@Varadiio but in the end it's not so much me saying that someone should make a game where this kind of mechanic is good, mainly I'm pointing out how much the mechanic feels pointless and wasted in the games where it tends to appear. Ie: mechanically trivial RPGs where using them is all flaw, no benefit.
Never checked the female character options,you hardly ever spend much time in character generation splat.
For all the financial problems they have they pulled out a surprisingly solid demo.
Hey i dont hate you, in fact ive been following you for a while and i will always remember your manly warcry when you were playing Metro!
Don't know what the tutorial was like, but the gameplay you showed looks pretty good!
Fifteen bucks...(and my mind instantly goes) little man, Put that shit in my hand
I had this on my wishlist but honestly after seeing this I took it off, it looks shit, terrible voice acting, boring generic story, nah thanks
Thank you for the video! Intro is crazy long, needs more combat mixed in imo
"I've always been good at mockery." (pretends to be shocked) 🤭
It makes me so happy when I see I'm going to get another CRPG to play, hoping it turns out good.
I'm into it
Is there any combat in this game? Not that I don't enjoy it without, but I wonder how it may look.
Why are there so many left hand thread screws floating around, is this to prove that this place has no relationship to the world we know?
This game looks extremely well done and I'm interested in trying it
They have gender male and female, now I have to buy this 😮💨
You had me at like the first sentence when you mentioned Arcanum. also.
This was already on my wishlist, thanks for the early look ☺
Wishlisted.
The animations are preposterous but it actually looks really fun
"Shut up! Just shut up. You had me at Arcanum. You had me at Arcanum."
25:20 you trading away good loot for 1 dollar hurts my soul, Mr. Splatty
The narrator (in the game) really needs to learn that not *every* word needs to be dramatic.
My God this looks awesome
Nothing happened! 😂
Oh i would have save-scummed to get the dwarf hired every time
So glad this is coming out, I loved Arcanum so much
I'm not sure what to think about the voice acting. It's so unserious it feels realistic.
Cmon dude, Splat is doing his best
The policeman at the start almost made me turn off the video because of how cringe it was
@@OverPwng The policeman is supposed to be cringe, it's a rehearsed speech that he has zero interest or excitement in reciting... Think tired theme park cast member! =)
The rest I think is fine, not great, far from the worst I've seen. Some of it I think is supposed to be tongue'n'cheek... I think it's the vibe of the original setting, maybe?
Not *Splat's*.
Having worked at Six Flags... yeah. I feel that.
that "e'eiht" in 4:10 needs to be the official Voice Acting for this game.
This looks awesome,a nd I welcome it to my wishlist.
the customs guard at the start - where did that book go/.
You had my attention the moment you said Arcanum.
This looks great. Hats off to the developer.
Poorly written and poorly voice acted.
