I didn’t like playing STALKER too much because i picked a Makarov to start and I couldn’t kill shit. Then my knife was too weak to skin the monsters I did kill just to get blown up by an invisible cloud in the middle of the road. All of that while not knowing where to go and who to fight or befriend. A bit of a help at the beginning wouldn’t hurt. At least to learn the mechanics and what I should be doing to progress. Doesn’t even have to be heavily scripted, just a small stepping stone to the game’s base mechanics and objectives like in Mario or Don’t Starve.
Chernobylite is an actual material. It's sort of like a radioactive lava that can be found in tunnels below the Chernobyl area. Just wanted to let you know! :)
@@kungfuskull I’ve dug a little deeper and I believe chernobylite is a compound that’s found in the corium. It can also be used to refer to the specific lava underneath the Chernobyl zone, however you’re correct, it’s a form of corium. Sorry about that!
Also Corium technically isnt an element, but would more acurately be called an Alloy, as its just the remains of reactor fuel, control rods, reactor machinery, and reactor housing all melted together to form a radioactive 1000+°C sludge that flowed through the lower maintenance hallways. Its the stuff the elephants foot consists of for example
"We shouldn't use the (x is the y of this genre) method or focus on judging a work by looking at other works to say what it is or what isn't because the entirety of the game might just go over our heads." *_So anyways Chernobylite is like fallout 4-_*
comparing games to each other is different than saying "x is the y of this genre" i can for example say that darkest dungeon is like FTL in regards to how hard the game is. i can also say they are unlike each other because of the differences in atmosphere and immersion, regardless of the setting.

9:07 Actually Chernobylite is a real thing. It was discovered in the corium produced in the Chernobyl disaster, a lava-like glassy material formed in the nuclear meltdown of reactor core 4. Here`s an wikipedia article about this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobylite

I would recommend it especially because they actually pressed it out of early access yesterday, while also putting in more weapons, choices, and characters.

@@Schneeregen_ yeah that's pretty much it. There's some humor in the awkward translation of Cobbler, a word that doesn't exist in the German language. It's substituted with Auflauf, a casserole.
I’ve been following Chernobylite for years- they went from an Instagram account posting photos of Chernobyl to making an entire game from it is super interesting
I find it boring and pretentious. The AI is brainless and bland. The gameplay loop is really repetitive. It fails both as a shooter and a resource-management/ base-builder. Just my two cents.@@idktbh6841
I really wish Ubisoft would get their act together though, because they have some really fun franchises that have a shit load of potential in the modern fleshed out narrative driven environment of modern gaming
The "you don't die, you just get captured" thing reminds me of Outward. You might like that one. It's a fantasy game where you start off as an absolute nobody and have to scrape and claw your way to success. I heard the magic system is very customizable, but I haven't even got to the point where I unlocked it yet.
Nuclear Horror, to me, is watching states invest in inefficient "green energy" rather than incredibly efficient nuclear power. California has already *banned gaming PCs* because they can't produce enough electricity to keep up with demand.
It depends on what you mean by "efficent". Nuclear Power reqires large upfront investments and it takes a median of 84-117 months to bring online, during which investors in the project get nothing. In terms of raw power generation, sure, nuclear is unmatched. But the market doesn't support their construction because it requires investors to make high risk low return decisions.
@@inurokuwarz Well, that's why governments should be filled with people who know what they're doing and are able to see the bigger picture and long term benefits. ...which is almost sci-fi, I know (see: school reforms in pretty much any country)
Only partially true, the only thing which got banned is pre built gaming pcs which are too power hungry. You can still buy all the pieces to build your own custom pc. And idk, but trying to make products more energy efficient instead of just exclusively throwing more and more powerplants at the problem seems like a sensible thing to do.
While I agree Nuclear is a good substitute for green energy, green energy is still preferable if possible as it doesn’t create waste and is far less risky if it is mismanaged. They’re both miles ahead of coal though.
@J F Luckily mods and in game difficulty adjusters can quell some of that. Personally having my character's insisting on eating after feeding them is insulting. That mechanic is genuine ass.
See, there's a lot of things I like that made me think that Darkest Dungeon would be right up my alley, but I just don't want to play a turn-based RPG to feel underpowered.
I love darkest dungeon but it's so hard to recommend, the game is solid as long as you can dissociate and play it like a CEO, brutal calculated and completely detached from the stakes at hand. Otherwise you get annoyed, take stupid risks, and then get more annoyed until you rage quit
@@DeltaFidelias I think contrary to what you might believe it can be really rewarding and make you feel powerful. It’s tough, but If you make the right decisions, you will succeed and sometimes you'll absolutely wreck those enemies. And all of those harsh mechanics make you feel really attached to the characters you control. When one of them dies it’s not just minor setback, it hits you on an emotional level: they feel like actual people you have grown attached to
I want a full series of Dimitri and Dale. I want to see their struggles, their triumphs, and their tribulations. I want to see Dale struggle with Dimitri's lack of effort in the relationship, and I want to see Dimitri find a new, healthier identity for himself than that of a simple generic thug.
Honestly, one of Chernobylite's greatest appeals is its Mystery, intrigue, characters and branching choices. Where you think there's a bit of an illusion, but in actuality, the smallest detail can come back to bite you. Its one of the few games that makes me feel genuinely bad about killing someone. One of my favorite moments came from when one of the soldiers saw his buddy lying dead on the ground, he said "Hey, Alexsi, why are you sleeping?" before realizing that he was dead. The game does a great job of humanizing the NAR as more then just NPC's that arbitrarily accost you. Chernoblite be like: Hey, remember that guy you shot a few hours back you forgot about? Well here's his wife. Me: SHIIET! It really makes you regret some of your bad choices and that only sometimes you can go back and fix them, or start over and try again.
So I just binge watched all of your stuff over the past couple of days while on night shift. And while I don’t always 100% agree on everything you say I do love your content man, I hope you never stop making videos. You seem to be the only person making content about hard hitting shit in the video game industry right now and I along with many others I’m sure really appreciate it.
I just recently bought this game and beat it, so as a 15 year old who's attention span isn't great I like the fact that the game was able to hold my attention for the 22ish hours I put into the game
DJPC: "Ubisoft, are you going to go back to the 'Gaze not into the abyss', Apocalypse Now, Heart of Darkness thing with Far Cry?" Ubisoft: "What are you talking about? I never did that." Every FC2 fan: "YOU TITLED THE LAST MISSION *HEART OF DARKNESS*! YOU FUCK!"
What I like about this game is that this game is the perfect blend between Stalker, Metro and Fallout 4. The setting of Stalker, the deep, dragging and gritty story telling of Metro and the functionality of Fallout, all franchieses that I love and adore since they came out.
So good to have you back man. Something about the way you lay out videos and the passion incorporated into every video makes it incredibly refreshing to watch. Hope your doing well man.
This game is like a rolling snowball. The more you play it the more it consumes you and the deeper you want to delve. I loved playing through it and I'm excited to play through again soon now that they've had a large content update
So hey I just saw this game the other day, and well your review randomly popped up and I am still curious about the game. NICE job on the presentation. Good video. 5/5 Subd
It would be interesting to know if the Dev's intended to make a STALKER clone with some added mechanics, or were simply inspired by the themes and had their own idea for the core of the game.
Chernobylite isn't a bad name for a mineral found only in chernobyl. Andesine is a mineral named for being found in the Andes. Ilmenite is from Ilmen Mountains. Tokyoite should be obvious. Baghdadite. Bytownite from bytown. Hell theres Fordite/Detroit Agate which is just the layers upon layers of automotive paint from old factories being used as a gemstone. For a whiny pedant that was a bad line. Which I only commented about because your stuff is so high quality that such a small thing stood out, very nice videos. Edit: Oh wait chernobylite itself is actually a real thing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobylite
The way you bagged on fallout 4 made me laugh. I played that game when I was a lot younger and got bored of it so I never finished it, but you hit the nail on the head as to why I lost my engagement with it.
@1:25 Your writing has such a pinpoint precision to it. You find ways to word so many feelings I have, just effortlessly. You say shit and I always have a "duh" moment, like that's exactly the way I feel but couldn't express it. Great video, great writing, not enough doom eternal, I hate it.
Nice review. I'm slowly getting less confident that you being manic and slightly insane is an act and more the feeling that just you normally act like this.
The pandemic took its toll on us all! I've had a lot of close friends confess awful anxiety and depression in these trying times, but my issues have been different. The fact is, my neighbor has been watching me and putting voices in my food. It ends tonight.
@@DJPeachCobbler That is not kind of him. I hope you, your close friends and your neighbor get things sorted out and get better. I genuinely enjoy your content and wish you the best.
The russians know how to write some really compelling dystopian fiction. Personally, Metro has the kind of odd appear as something like Dune has. Its some kind of primordial enviroment that speaks to us on a level that actually transcends the content of the work. 'The Underground'. 'The Desert'. These are places which remain totally exotic to us, I think because they are so inhospitable
@@CunkGungler its because humans have a fascination with suffering, and since most men who sit on a computer all day don't see much of that actual survival suffering they're drawn to it. Comfort breeds weakness.
Great review, loved the "ok let's get this comparison with stalker out of the way... now here's how the game actually plays. Only critique to offer, and I really do hate to nitpick, but Chernobylite is a real material. Found after the melt down of the Chernobyl reactors.
You deserve every bit of growth you've experienced, and then some. Thank you for giving genuine critique, instead of focusing on what a game is "supposed" to be.
My man i recently discovered your channel and now im addicted to watching your videos like if I were binging a series on netflix, keep doing what youre doing brother.
I love your videos because of the extensive vocabulary you use. I have a lot of trouble putting my thoughts to words and making my point know in conversations and watching your videos helps me formulate my thoughts into coherent sentences instead of the ramblings of some foul tarnished. thank you and keep up the wonderful work. P.s. my favorite cobbler is my granny's homemade peach cobbler. lovely channel name
I disagree, I would say the first 5-8 hours is the good part of the game as you first discover all the gameplay and the maps, after that, it is doing the same mission on the same maps over and over again for the next 20 hours just to progress the story that they may as well have put into cutscenes.
The Ferrari = Kia thing happened to me once. A TH-camr said that The Owl House was like Gravity Falls, so I went in with impossible expectations. The Owl House is a superficially similar show to Gravity Falls, but it lacks the fantastic writing and clever comedy that made that show great.
One thing I've noticed is that from the looks of it this game is the developers love project even though the game is already complete yet they have a whole roadmap set and even went back to Chernobyl so they can graph out a new map they wish to add.
@@obitosenju3768 The first few hours are boring and repetitive. The whole story isn't that great either, the side stuff that happens to move the story along is pretty nice, but the I NEED TO FIND MY WIFE Plot is just borderline....boring.
I enjoyed this game quite a bit myself. Honestly just thought it was too short. I wouldn't mind if I made a better updated version with AAA standards. Games like this have a great replayability. I would just like to see a decently bigger version with the same detail density that's already there. The world's look great and leveling up is fun, but building the base is one of the coolest features. Just with every item having significant importance to your survival.
Late to the party but I don't care. I loved the atmosphere of this game, the way they took real scans of buildings so you feel like you're there. Seriously, there are areas in this game that are near photoreal to their URL counterparts and it was a genuine pleasure to experience that. This game is definitely worth your time. Soak it all in, you just might enjoy it. I know I did.
DISCORD: discord.gg/Ecr95p726w Special thanks to Thigikna for drawing the beautiful Zack Inferno! th-cam.com/channels/FDeP0t1UaVu238w5qGNnAQ.html It turns out that "Chernobylite" is a real substance. I still stand by it being a dumb name, although I now no longer blame the developers...but instead dumb science bitches
SPOILERS: The game feels like it lost its direction halfway through development and you can REALLY tell they rewrote the story to accommodate removing the 30 day limit of the reactor blowing. At the start some choices have actual visible consequences, (Tarakan and Sashko's mission) but this is very short lived and by then end devolves into which part of the slideshow will change (the new vegas comparison is strong here) not to mention the ending was just terrible I thought the in mission choices would be important but they only seem to change whether you walk or shoot down a corridor and it all culminates with a slightly more annoying black stalker fight than what you've been so ng for your whole playthrough? Gameplay wise the ending was just bummy, despite getting right to the heart of the reactor with both my choices they were both killed by the game freezing me in place and scolding me as they died (to an npc i didnt kill 20 missions prior) after 2 months of waiting for it to drop I can safely say the end of the game is the most underutilized potential it had and I haven't even mentioned the M Night quality twist I will say this though future devs if you suddenly reveal I am what I've been killing all along you remove any investment in the story immediately it is a terrible trope and it weakened the shit out of this game, don't let it hamper yours.
So, basically:-
*STALKER:* You don't matter to ANYONE.
*Chernobylite:* Your choices may f*ck up EVERYONE.
that's one way to put it... imma gonna check this game for sure
I didn’t like playing STALKER too much because i picked a Makarov to start and I couldn’t kill shit. Then my knife was too weak to skin the monsters I did kill just to get blown up by an invisible cloud in the middle of the road.

I want a full series of Dimitri and Dale. I want to see their struggles, their triumphs, and their tribulations. I want to see Dale struggle with Dimitri's lack of effort in the relationship, and I want to see Dimitri find a new, healthier identity for himself than that of a simple generic thug.
The music at the end is"he was a good stalker" from the stalker soundtrack if you were wandering
I recognized that shit immediately lol
arent we all wandering?
just walking aimlessly towards the end?
Honestly, one of Chernobylite's greatest appeals is its Mystery, intrigue, characters and branching choices. Where you think there's a bit of an illusion, but in actuality, the smallest detail can come back to bite you. Its one of the few games that makes me feel genuinely bad about killing someone.
One of my favorite moments came from when one of the soldiers saw his buddy lying dead on the ground, he said "Hey, Alexsi, why are you sleeping?" before realizing that he was dead. The game does a great job of humanizing the NAR as more then just NPC's that arbitrarily accost you.
Chernoblite be like: Hey, remember that guy you shot a few hours back you forgot about? Well here's his wife.
Me: SHIIET!
It really makes you regret some of your bad choices and that only sometimes you can go back and fix them, or start over and try again.

So I just binge watched all of your stuff over the past couple of days while on night shift. And while I don’t always 100% agree on everything you say I do love your content man, I hope you never stop making videos. You seem to be the only person making content about hard hitting shit in the video game industry right now and I along with many others I’m sure really appreciate it.
playing "He was a Good Stalker" at the end was a nice touch. Love hearing that song when sitting at a campfire in the zone
I just recently bought this game and beat it, so as a 15 year old who's attention span isn't great I like the fact that the game was able to hold my attention for the 22ish hours I put into the game
DJPC: "Ubisoft, are you going to go back to the 'Gaze not into the abyss', Apocalypse Now, Heart of Darkness thing with Far Cry?"
Ubisoft: "What are you talking about? I never did that."
Every FC2 fan: "YOU TITLED THE LAST MISSION *HEART OF DARKNESS*! YOU FUCK!"
The amount of dumbing down from fc2 thru 3,4 and 5 is just depressing. Imagine far cry 5 with the brutality of 2, would have been amazing

What I like about this game is that this game is the perfect blend between Stalker, Metro and Fallout 4. The setting of Stalker, the deep, dragging and gritty story telling of Metro and the functionality of Fallout, all franchieses that I love and adore since they came out.
Wow, the Ferrari analogy was incredibly good. You go in basically expecting a sequel to one of your favorite games
I love it

What version of doom eternal is this?
The pirated version
@@kevin-tx3ds pirated Walmart version. 😀
Slav version. Bring your own vodka
It's the dark version
Love how you put TLOU background music in there when you explained the main character’s actions and characteristic part!
So good to have you back man. Something about the way you lay out videos and the passion incorporated into every video makes it incredibly refreshing to watch. Hope your doing well man.
This game is like a rolling snowball. The more you play it the more it consumes you and the deeper you want to delve. I loved playing through it and I'm excited to play through again soon now that they've had a large content update
Cobbler's slowly becoming a Stalker TH-camr, and I love it 😅.

"If you are looking for Stalker, look elsewhere.
I personally recomend S.T.A.L.K.E.R."
I know in your first Stalker video you mentioned the Metro games, but will you ever make a full on review for Metro?
This game gave me a "This war of mine" vibe
It's very rare I enjoy commentary game review channels, but this guy is actually genuinely funny and insightful! Keep it up
Are you ok? Almost no Doom Eternal references, I am worried... We are worried Cobbler...
So hey I just saw this game the other day, and well your review randomly popped up and I am still curious about the game. NICE job on the presentation. Good video. 5/5 Subd
If I hear another Chernobylite is like stalker I shall brave into a orphanage and plant a Pitbull there,it's totally different of stalker
Chernobylite is fallout 4 of stalker far cry
@@goldenwolfe5085 yooooo so trueeee it's like when the thing to thing did thing
It would be interesting to know if the Dev's intended to make a STALKER clone with some added mechanics, or were simply inspired by the themes and had their own idea for the core of the game.
Why would you put Mr. Worldwide in an orphanage
“I know you want me
You know I want cha”
Chernobylite isn't a bad name for a mineral found only in chernobyl. Andesine is a mineral named for being found in the Andes. Ilmenite is from Ilmen Mountains. Tokyoite should be obvious. Baghdadite. Bytownite from bytown. Hell theres Fordite/Detroit Agate which is just the layers upon layers of automotive paint from old factories being used as a gemstone.
For a whiny pedant that was a bad line.
Which I only commented about because your stuff is so high quality that such a small thing stood out, very nice videos.
Edit: Oh wait chernobylite itself is actually a real thing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobylite
The way you bagged on fallout 4 made me laugh. I played that game when I was a lot younger and got bored of it so I never finished it, but you hit the nail on the head as to why I lost my engagement with it.
You had me at "uncircumcised"
@1:25 Your writing has such a pinpoint precision to it. You find ways to word so many feelings I have, just effortlessly.
You say shit and I always have a "duh" moment, like that's exactly the way I feel but couldn't express it.
Great video, great writing, not enough doom eternal, I hate it.
This was actually a very nice video. I like how DJ conducted his transitions between his arguments.
This just made my day
And I really think you should play metro
First video I have watched from you and your cold delivery really sets in stone your psychotic nature. SUBBED
Nice review.
I'm slowly getting less confident that you being manic and slightly insane is an act and more the feeling that just you normally act like this.
The pandemic took its toll on us all! I've had a lot of close friends confess awful anxiety and depression in these trying times, but my issues have been different. The fact is, my neighbor has been watching me and putting voices in my food.
It ends tonight.
@@DJPeachCobbler That is not kind of him. I hope you, your close friends and your neighbor get things sorted out and get better. I genuinely enjoy your content and wish you the best.
I just wanna let you know. When I see a new video from you I get real happy that I get to watch sarcastic pie man.
Hey, have you played the Metro series?
I can imagine you'd like it.
The russians know how to write some really compelling dystopian fiction. Personally, Metro has the kind of odd appear as something like Dune has. Its some kind of primordial enviroment that speaks to us on a level that actually transcends the content of the work. 'The Underground'. 'The Desert'. These are places which remain totally exotic to us, I think because they are so inhospitable

@@CunkGungler ukrainian actually, tho the metro books are russian
@@CunkGungler its because humans have a fascination with suffering, and since most men who sit on a computer all day don't see much of that actual survival suffering they're drawn to it. Comfort breeds weakness.
Eastern european in general make some of the best ambience in games, Pathologic, Metro, Stalker you name it
You didn't say "Do not steal". I'm stealing your sonic original character.
I just love that your videos are hilarious and somehow adds “Cobbler Lore” that just make me go “Wait, what the heck?” 😂
Great review, loved the "ok let's get this comparison with stalker out of the way... now here's how the game actually plays. Only critique to offer, and I really do hate to nitpick, but Chernobylite is a real material. Found after the melt down of the Chernobyl reactors.
You deserve every bit of growth you've experienced, and then some. Thank you for giving genuine critique, instead of focusing on what a game is "supposed" to be.
My man i recently discovered your channel and now im addicted to watching your videos like if I were binging a series on netflix, keep doing what youre doing brother.
I haven't played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. yet, but I have read Roadside Picnic and the artifact hunting in the Zone sounds really interesting.
I do not know how i got this recommended, but i have binged alot of your videos now and god do i love it. Keep it up man!
Love the analysis, it has a lot of thought put into it, this is why I subbed.
how does your narration get me to care about video games i've never even played or heard of? pls never change

I love your videos because of the extensive vocabulary you use.

@@paultedtaotao4357 misspelled ATF
Holy shit this comment is glorious
I disagree, I would say the first 5-8 hours is the good part of the game as you first discover all the gameplay and the maps, after that, it is doing the same mission on the same maps over and over again for the next 20 hours just to progress the story that they may as well have put into cutscenes.
I’ve followed the development of Chernobylite for about 2 years, seems like a good game. No point of this comment
The fact that this game isn't trying to emulate S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a very big selling point for me!
Just picked this up a few days ago, it’s pretty great.
The Ferrari = Kia thing happened to me once. A TH-camr said that The Owl House was like Gravity Falls, so I went in with impossible expectations. The Owl House is a superficially similar show to Gravity Falls, but it lacks the fantastic writing and clever comedy that made that show great.
Glad to hear that the game seem to be something I enjoy, choices, bases and a group.
Will add it to my wishlist, good review!
One thing I've noticed is that from the looks of it this game is the developers love project even though the game is already complete yet they have a whole roadmap set and even went back to Chernobyl so they can graph out a new map they wish to add.
FUN FACT: CHERNOBYLITE'S REAL LIFE COUNTERPART IS CALLED CORIUM, AND ONLY EXISTS INSIDE THE BASEMENT OF THE SARCOPHAGUS IN PRIPYAT

your dialogue is witty and comical. You have gained a sub!
Farm 51 are such interesting developers. Their games seem so god damn good, but there's always a caveat.
What is the Caveat of Chernobylte? I am 10 days into it and I don't see it?( this is not me saying you are wrong but just that I am wondering)
@@obitosenju3768 The first few hours are boring and repetitive. The whole story isn't that great either, the side stuff that happens to move the story along is pretty nice, but the I NEED TO FIND MY WIFE Plot is just borderline....boring.
I enjoyed this game quite a bit myself. Honestly just thought it was too short. I wouldn't mind if I made a better updated version with AAA standards. Games like this have a great replayability. I would just like to see a decently bigger version with the same detail density that's already there. The world's look great and leveling up is fun, but building the base is one of the coolest features. Just with every item having significant importance to your survival.
Late to the party but I don't care. I loved the atmosphere of this game, the way they took real scans of buildings so you feel like you're there.
Seriously, there are areas in this game that are near photoreal to their URL counterparts and it was a genuine pleasure to experience that.
This game is definitely worth your time. Soak it all in, you just might enjoy it. I know I did.
I really hope counselling works out for Dmitry and Dale! Anything worth anything needs work put into it, and I'm sure they'll figure it out.

SPOILERS:
The game feels like it lost its direction halfway through development and you can REALLY tell they rewrote the story to accommodate removing the 30 day limit of the reactor blowing. At the start some choices have actual visible consequences, (Tarakan and Sashko's mission) but this is very short lived and by then end devolves into which part of the slideshow will change (the new vegas comparison is strong here) not to mention the ending was just terrible I thought the in mission choices would be important but they only seem to change whether you walk or shoot down a corridor and it all culminates with a slightly more annoying black stalker fight than what you've been so ng for your whole playthrough? Gameplay wise the ending was just bummy, despite getting right to the heart of the reactor with both my choices they were both killed by the game freezing me in place and scolding me as they died (to an npc i didnt kill 20 missions prior) after 2 months of waiting for it to drop I can safely say the end of the game is the most underutilized potential it had and I haven't even mentioned the M Night quality twist I will say this though future devs if you suddenly reveal I am what I've been killing all along you remove any investment in the story immediately it is a terrible trope and it weakened the shit out of this game, don't let it hamper yours.
