Miles11we it's both. It's basically just "how can we cram as many references as possible into the game without actively breaking the 4th wall". It's just not good...
This is an amazing meta-commentary on ye olde pop-culture-spewing protagonists of yore. Everyone knows that Duke Nukem, Gex, and Bubsy were unfunny to outright annoying. But now, with Styx 2, you have an in-your-face, fresh, visceral reminder of just how trite that can get. By bringing back an outmoded form of humor and placing it in a modern context, the developers of Styx: Shards of Darkness have done the impossible; they have bridged the gap between old and new, allowing today's generation a glimpse at what once was. This empathy can only strengthen the bond felt between the fellow gamer, opening up a path to a brighter, more unified future. Thank you, Cyanide devs. You are all truly visionaries.
don't listen to this nerd, it's just another game in a short line of games with styx that caters mostly to a niche of people who liked Of Orcs and Men and the original game, except with more references this time
Wow you completely miss my point and call me dumb? Seriously did you actually try and miss my point there because it seems pretty clear to me, also don't assume that one person is representative of a group of people, it's just fucking dumb. Also not that it's actually in any way important I have probably been watching ster for longer than you have lol.
This made me want to go back and watch you play dishonered and this game from stream. Wait I can't. CUS TWITCH DOES NOT SAVE THAT FAR. So I will cry a little instead.
I like the gameplay, and I liked the first game. i like the improvements the second game made. But jesus fuck do I hate the direction the writing style has gone.
This game is actually genius. Better punishment for dying than Dark Souls.
I MAKE REFERENCE TO POPULAR THING
haHAA HAhaa HaHaa
It's a bold strategy to constantly remind people of better things while they play your thing.
styx is a good game, it's just sad that he cant SHUT UP sometimes x')
seriously... DOOM did the terminator homage in an okay way, this is all just cringy AF.
that's a gross over exaggeration
I've never seen a game try so hard to be funny and fail so hard
Trust me there are sadly worse.
i wanted to buy this game on sale but thought my computer wont handle it, boy am i glad
styx one looked good but the trailer edgy, and this one looks silly, they cant fucking make up their minds
The only way I can understand why someone would play this is because its a cry for help.
Hang in there bud.
John Todd actually a decent stealth game.
We have seen how well Ster does at stealth games with Dishonored 2
He's God himself.
I like Bubsy 3D's newest update.
fucking accurate
Why the fuck does he just reference everything? Is this Dougal?
both ster 2 and 2ndJerma upload at the same time
what is all this alt channel magic?
Insert coin calculated
Insert coin they're card counting
You'd be counting cards!
we said "presto magesto" enough times and this magic happened
they're no longer alt channels
did he just dishonored me
"You just embarasseed me on stream."
Knightworm yis
So... Did that guy who made the titanic reference got banned?
IT MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE!
I forgot the name of the guy who said it unfortunately. :(
i watched ster play through the entire first game in one sitting
by the end i didnt know whether i was still in this reality or the next
Loved all 9 hours of the last one and I love this one. for some reason your pain with this game brings me enjoyment
I love how this character was like literally made to be a foil to ster.
was this a reference to the spy in tf2?
anyone else feel like jerma could've voiced styx?
Sex with horses? Not unless it's JRHNBR
N O B U C K E T R E Q U I R E D
Styx is a talented sneak man
Wrong channel.
I mean, Ster was in that video too, so...
The writing in this game is so ass what the hell
Robosaurus its the acting not the writing
pretty sure its both
Miles11we it's both.
It's basically just "how can we cram as many references as possible into the game without actively breaking the 4th wall".
It's just not good...
Miles11we ...
please be b8
for your own sake
Tina Sprout its a joke... because how often "the writing makes the acting look bad" is said
So this is just medieval Gex?
Styx and stones may break my will to live but a lack of titanic references will not hurt me
Wow! Last time I heard comedy this good, I was playing... Duke Nukem Forever.
This is an amazing meta-commentary on ye olde pop-culture-spewing protagonists of yore.

Thank you, Cyanide devs. You are all truly visionaries.
The first game had solid mechanics but it drove me to the brink of insanity. If I have to repeat more underground dungeon levels I am gonna snap.
People are gonna make fun of this game because Star doesn't like it but I actually think it looks pretty good.
watch criken2's vid on it
Well at least this is not fifty hours long like last Styx video.
I already love it.
This game insults player and disses a lot of stuff. I'm starting to love this game. Keep on playing Ster, waiting for Styx2 2: Electric Bogaloo.
i remember watching 10 h version straight and now it's 10 min...
Like every game story this days.
What's more annoying than Styx's writing?
Not much. Except ster parodying it.
Easily worse
Gex?
good god they laid the pop culture references on thick this time around.
Note to self, don't drink tap water at Jerry Garcia's house.
did I really miss this glorious stream? D:
Watched both vods, for a total of about 15 hours of pure ster suffering.
I regret every second.
Just rediscovered this channel, can't believe I wasn't subbed before.
I'm VERY disappointed this wasn't another 10 hour archive.
Did you post that? I want a percentage on your GAME SUX COMPILATION!
i dont know what fourth wall is anymore
Where's the full stream? I am sad now, I wanted to watch all of it, even the boring moments... D:
There are unofficial TH-cam channels which archive Ster's old streams. I'm sure it's around somewhere.
Yo Gex was one of the best game series ever made.
the way he says the 'stream' line is very funny to me
someone has got to make a best goblin death compilation
Did Styx ever get his percent on your BEST GOBLIN DEATH COMPILATION?
Release the BEST GOBLIN DEATH COMPILATION.
This game is absurdly meta. I couldn't stand to play it myself, even if I enjoyed this type of game.
his references are out of control
If Gex was a goblin, it would be Styx.
"Hey, guys, I'm a bit stuck on the script for our new comedic stealth game... References still count as humor, right?"
So this game is supposed to basically be a meme, right?
It's twitch/youtube-bait.
don't listen to this nerd, it's just another game in a short line of games with styx that caters mostly to a niche of people who liked Of Orcs and Men and the original game, except with more references this time
More references? This game can't go 30 seconds without referencing something barely relevant.
yeah, more references
that's kind of what i said. did you understand me? are all of ster's new fans this dumb?
Wow you completely miss my point and call me dumb? Seriously did you actually try and miss my point there because it seems pretty clear to me, also don't assume that one person is representative of a group of people, it's just fucking dumb. Also not that it's actually in any way important I have probably been watching ster for longer than you have lol.
I honestly thought after the Dishonered joke, he was opening the menu to quit the game.
that stream was better than the ones you had recently, if i am going to be honest
how do you feel about being an overwatch judge for the world cup
that gobin looks alot like Jerma
was the previous styx like this?
did it have all of these references to other stealth games?
This made me want to go back and watch you play dishonered and this game from stream. Wait I can't. CUS TWITCH DOES NOT SAVE THAT FAR. So I will cry a little instead.
I believe you can find the Dishonored 2 streams archived on unofficial (i. e. not Ster's) TH-cam channels.
no, no, no you fucked up. You get the Titanic reference on the THIIIRD boat.
Styx 2: Below Average Goblin
you're the only person I've heard that also knows "UPPY!"
Wouldn't the glowy dagger _instantly_ give off his position?
This game is like Christmas at Richard Simmons house
When I saw this video I immediately thought “oh shit! This one’s for mee!”
Styx is the Bubsy of stealth games.
The new Gex looks great
No more. Please. I have nam flashbacks every time I see the word Styx
You are popular in my heart, Ster.
I can't believe Styx is basically an edgy sequel to Gex.
what happened to the main channel?
Wow this game has memes and pop culture references so it MUST be better!
wait Ster, are you Star and lazy purple too
This game is like a luau at Chevy Chase's house.
This is like Gex 3, the even more unfunny pop culture references (Video Gamer Edition)
I like the gameplay, and I liked the first game. i like the improvements the second game made. But jesus fuck do I hate the direction the writing style has gone.
is it just me or is the mic they used to record the weird goblin mans voice low quality sounding
Gex 4 looks fantastic!
is that dobby?
You'll always be popular to me ster
That ending hahahah i didn't knew you didn't like the game, thought you did since you finished the first one
The dialog in this game is amazing haha
DID YOU STREAM THAT?
Which day was this streamed?
Why does the goblin look like jerma in the thumbnail
Wait, that isn't Jerma?
Did you stream that?
why is ster 2 is ster's main channel now?
How did this game get any budget with this writing?
Did you stream that? LUL
I wanted to ask if this game was any good but I think it was answered for me.
I don't know how many people had to sign off on "goblin makes thinly veiled and unfunny references to pop culture" but they should all be ashamed.
Are you ever gonna upload to your main channel or have you given up on it?
I quote "its a dead channel" ster some time ago... RIP star
Ster killed Star and took his place. It's quite a tragic story.
He also did the same to Jerma while he was streaming Overwatch.
Star is an idiot.
Stiff-as-a-Tree-Ster the Light-Sleeper
When does styx say bazinga
Wow...Bubsy has really changed since all those years ago
I can't believe there is a game like this
Star and jerma 2 just uploaded at exactly the same time wtf
why does the goblin look like Jerma
Wait they made enough money to make another Styx game?!
When was this stream and what's it called
Styx is pretty much the next gen version of Gex
funi joek: the gaem
is ster still alive after all that cancer?
Dane threw some shade at you man.
* ZANY POP CULTURE REFERENCE *
If I wasn't so damn broke I would probably get this just for shits and gigs.
upload a full play through please!!!
Goto the Jerma/Ster Archive Channel, it has em alll!
I guess this game really STYX to you after you play it
