You know what would have made this video at least 20% funnier? A BetterHelp sponsorship.
I nearly spat out my coffee reading this. Well done.
I used BetterHelp and am convinced the devs modeled a bunch of the characters off of me
BetterHelp ... you'll need it after you've played this game.
Hahahahhahhahhaha
"on the surface this is a game about fighting hentai protagonist"
That should be the one of those reviews that are strapped to the game box
🤣
Bounty hunter summarized:
Upercut
Enemy dies
Loud snort
Prepare to break another one's spine
I like the tax evasion guy.
Life goals.
A video on Factorio could be cool, if that happens to be your jam. This "Worst Guide" format is very fun.
I'm currently learning Factorio 😉
@@connorconquers I like that you used the verb "learning", and not "playing"
...heh
"Have you ever been in the shower-" no
*Closes video*
Love the ending speech and the ending. Good stuff. Redemption and Legacy was already a huge part of DD1 so i am glad the second continues in this vein. It also looks better than the online negativity had me led to believe.
It's really good but not as fun as DD1 imo. There's enough new and interesting stuff that it's worth it though. And thanks, I'm really proud of that little ending lol
I like the way you edit. I also respect the Odd clip where he got wrecked. You had my follow ever since ONI but I guess I'll be sticking around for longer.
Thank you! I hope to keep making videos that people enjoy. Also, it was very kind of Odd to let me use his clip. He's always great.
The 5'11 joke was absolutely hilarious.
Nice video man, I "binge" watched all of your videos😢 after seeing the ONI video. You actually make good videos and now I wanna play DD2 too
Thanks! I've got 4 scripts in progress but I've been dragging my feet the last while due to work and the new season of Path of Exile being good 👀
I liked it when you made it weirdly personal.
Low key, I'm kinda proud of that little speech lol. Thanks for saying that.
The way you feel about the Jester is how I feel about the Flagellant. He's just way too tough to kill. If you find a Thrilling Tablet and he's in Maniac, you don't need your party. More! MORE! is clutch, plays great as the off-tank support.
Flagellant is one of my favorites in both DD 1&2. I'm still getting to know him better since he came out so late.
"you may have noticed the funny little icons below our characters here"
**shows 15 icons**
would rather not have, actually.
these vids are great
dude, your videos are amazing.
cant even imagine how much work goes into each one of them.
thanks for the awesome work
Hey glad you enjoy it! They take a while but I make 'em in my free time and I'm just happy to see people enjoying me trying to scam them into playing my obsessions lol
Many fall in the face of chaos, but not this one... not today
Dude, your Uncle Darkest voice is, in my humble opinion, opulent and imperial
I had way too much fun doing my Wayne impression.
You are amazing, you're editing is on point, and you have excellent comedic sense.
Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you! The next one is already in the works!
Love this. Looking forward to what you go on to do.
Thank you! I've got more in the works but it takes me a while.
Very well made, funny as always. Keep going, you’re good at this:)
Thanks so much! I plan to 🙂
Damn these are fun. Great scripts and editing.
I mean it was enough to get me interested in trying darkest dungeon 2, even though I kinda bounced off the first one; so that's gotta be worth something
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I was worried my editing was too fast this time around so that's nice to hear. I love both DD1 and 2 in very different ways. It's really weird that DD2 is way less grindy than DD1 but also way more grindy in other ways. If you like games like this I'd suggest checking out Irratus: Lord of the Dead. It strikes a great balance between these 2 games and has a ton of charm.
@@connorconquers Honestly never heard of it before, but it looks cool, so thanks for the recommendation!
The Barton street metaphor couldn’t be more apt
I like this style of gameplay review, in depth enough to give people a decent idea of gameplay mechanics and tips with quick cut jokes and asides. Bible black? A man of culture I see 😂.
I RUINED my Google history coming up with jokes for the Vestle segment lol. I knew some people would appreciate the cultured Bible joke.
@@connorconquers lol. I saw the notification that you were putting up this video and wanted to comment a head of time of the eldritch horror permeating my thoughts in anticipation. Glad you did that too. Nice Wayne impression!
That was genuinely funny and informative, good job!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Between this one and ONI, great writing, would love to see more. Keep at it my dude! :)
See I was thinking of Portland actually. I guess the madness grips us all in different ways
The eldritch influence reaches far and wide. Even Portland.
great video, really fun to watch and I'm glad you're sticking with this format :3
2 things though. The intro was maybe a little on the long side, but it was still funny so that's not too important. I would have liked if you spent a bit more time on different mechanics and just talked about them a bit more, almost felt like stuff like tokens were kind of glossed over and not talked about as much they could have been. The part where you summarised the characters was great though, really enjoyed that.
A few more visual edits (like in the oxygen not included video with for example, the parrot going "hat" as you mention hats for your duplicates) is something I missed a bit, but that could also just be me and what I enjoy.
I had the same feeling about the intro. Probably could have cut a line without losing impact. While editing I realized how lucky I was to have the shorts to use for gags. I wanted to put not of the little memes in but I was really trying to get this done within a deadline. The editing felt a lot faster this time too and I didn't leave as many spaces for those little jokes. It's something I'm keeping in mind for the next one. Thanks so much for the feedback!!!
Hey man, your videos are incredible. They're well written, funny, have great pacing and editing, among a bunch of other things. Keep up the great work and thank you!
Thank you! And thanks for being an algorithm bro lol
Your videos are incredible... you must put in so much time and effort, and I, for one, appreciate every second of it :)
Thank you so much! That means a lot! I've got another in the works.
Heeeeeyyyyy man, you came back with one more video!! I was really rooting for it.
I hope this one falls on the algorithm's favor as the other one did
Doesn't look like the algo likes this one but I'm far from done! One more? Pfffft, more to come babyyyyyyyyyyy! I'm actually half-way through scripting another video but I stopped to make this one first since 1.0 came out. And since then I've got a few ideas for other vids as well.
@@connorconquers thaaaaaaat is like it, thank you!!!!!
I don't understand how you only have 11K subscribers. I found your channel yesterday and since then i couldn't stop myself from watching the entirety of Noita and Stardew Valley reviews. You're pretty damn good. Your videos are pretty polished and you know how to keep the audience entertained. You have my respect, and a subscribe.
Thanks! I mean, two weeks ago I had 5k subs so I'm pretty thrilled that its double lol. I'm just glad people are enjoying my videos.
Great content, funny and informative. Can't wait to see what you make next.
New video next week or so!
@@connorconquers Yeppiee! :D
Good staff bro, keep going. Cheers!
Thanks! Imma try to!
Love your videos! This intro reminded me of Daryl Talks Games for some reason
I'd never heard of them so I checked them out. Love their vibe. Thanks for this!
I’ve binged every one of your videos tonight. They are so good
Thank you! Appreciate it! Especially the comments on every one of 'em. That algorithm is HUNGRY. TH-cam hated this video for some reason lol.
Ngl, the hollow knight music slaps...unexpected twist at the end while i was writing this 😂
Unironically one the my favorite things I've edited together lol
Here after watching the ONI vid, love your style.
Thank you! New vid soon(ish)!
feeding the beeaast
OM NOM NOM NOM Algorithm go brrrr
ah i see you also have what i call "The Regular Shower Experience "
I only have two thoughts in the shower: "mmm warm" and "WHY?"
Lets not act like this DD2 is even a tenth as good as DD
I hate that I agree, but I'm glad they tried something different. There's a lot of good parts here but it never quite becomes the cohesive whole that DD1 was.
I actually like DD2 as much as DD1 maybe because I haven’t finished it and has yet to age as a fine wine. Even if the game is arguably flawed in some aspect, the relationship and the story of the characters is something that is darkest dungeon at it’s prime
I don’t think it’s less « good » I just think it won’t become a classic like dd1 did
I wish more people would try to change things as they did
Let’s not act like your opinion matters to everyone.
@@chainsawboy2388 you already contradicted your point by acknowledging it
Love the editing and humor!
Thanks! I'm hoping to get more than 4 vids out this year lol
The tax evasion guy is a hero we all can related to
A modern Robin Hood
I can't count how many times I screamed in pain every time one of those guys started getting crazy in the middle of a run
The time between "resolve is tested" and the result is agony too
Came here after watching the AMAZING Noita video. This guy has a bright future, I'm glad I found the channel!
Awww thanks! More to come!
Love your content and humor
@@whinegummi6329 thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to tell me.
best point/conclusion of the video; read Berzerk, sadly the author died, but the story is set in stone thanks to the author's friends, and some of the fan continuations aren't half bad
Man i need Wayne June to narrate my life. Either very very depressing or very uplifting
Man you should really make more videos i really loved your oxygen not included and now darkest dungeon 2 too
I've got 3ish in progress :)
I'm just very slow because of work right now lol.
1:22
No... That's perfect
top quality silly content, I love your videos
Thank you! I'm just happy this one is getting views but lol
I would love to see your take on factorio or satisfactory
I'm about to buy Factorio. Once I finish my current video that'll be next!
"Have you ever been in the shower-" no
The existential dread can't get to you if you reek.
Binged your videos. More please!
Glad you like them! I'm working on 2 right now!
Must catch up on Berserk and corrupt my darkest dungeon team IE convert them to waifu so the learning phase of the game will be Madoka Magica
I dunno how my game ended up like that, I swear 😅
Classic!!!
Remind yourself. Over confidence is a slow and insidious killer.
Life reminds me of this every damn day.
..."Barton street in Hamilton." DUDE!!! MAH TOWN!!!
You are correct. *LOL*
Every day I don't have to drive down that street is a good day.
Wth why i never got notified of this videos?
Not sure?? TH-cam seems to hate this one. Better late than never though!
...I should reread Berserk, good call.
Personal, so so personal xd
Thanks, funny internet man
Most welcome
I think Slay the Spire guide would be nice
Really love your videos so far
You're not the first person to suggest that, and I really do love that game 👀
@@connorconquers Nice, I'll be waiting then 👀I've only recently got into it and I'm loving it so far
And also... Any chance you could take a look at Wuppo? It's my favorite game and perhaps there could be some potential for a video, just saying
It looks really cute but it's not quite my cup of tea. I've got quite a few others to get through right now. I'll keep it in mind though, thanks for the recommendation!
@@connorconquers Alright then! Take your time, I know how overwhelming it can be xd
More content like this my good man.
Coming soon 😁
Yea, I wish I liked the game more. But I'm not very good at it at all, and after many many failed runs, failing again and again. It's really hard to pick the game up again.
I love the combat, sometimes... and the game looks and sounds great. But when I lose a guy on the final part before the boss after like, 3 hours.... yea, I can't go on with some random character that doesn't fit in my party.
It makes me sad, because I loved DD1.
Yeah I feel the same way. The individual parts here are amazing, but something just doesn't quite add up. I still love that they took a rush and tried stunning different. If they do a 3rd I hope they take the lessons from this cuz there's so much right here.
Make more stuff, you're good at it.
Thanks! Editing a Factorio guide right now.
When I would play DD1 and get a mental break from a party member, it felt like everybody in the party internally thought "fuck this guy", glad to know the madmen at Red Hook decided to make that a feature with the relationship system.
Also I'm so glad they didn't bring Antiquarian (or however her class is spelled) back, literally what purpose did she serve in the original? Rest in piss.
There's a lot of great ideas that just don't come together in DD2s format. Also the Antiquarian allowed items to stack higher in DD1. High risk, high reward. They were great but very very circumstantial.
Antiquarian gives + dodge to everyone and can use her attack to hit most enemies from most positions in your squad. In the first game buffs stack so just keep using this and keep increasing your party's dodge. Plus she can reduce the accuracy and dodge of enemies. She's honestly not bad at all. I've heard she can also get you extra gold too?
Yeah you get more rewards from combat encounters, increased rewards from various things including a chance at gold and trinkets from the unburned torches you can find. If you loot everything you get bonuses to loot and gold. She increases the maximum gold you can hold in a stack to 2,000. There's a lot she can do that makes her surprisingly useful and good especially for early game
bruh, name drop my city, had to double take on that.
lmao, comments like this make me so happy. I'm gonna keep making very Ontario specific jokes.
Holy shit ur worst guides ROCK I wish there were more!!!!!!
Factorio should be done around late May 😉
Yo, awesome vids man. What is the name of the song at the end?
Thanks! I always link my video playlist (in order of appearance) in the description.
The "speech" song is Dirtmouth from Hollow Knight (composed by Christopher Larkin) and the final final song is Guts Theme covered by LittleVMills 🙂
@@connorconquers Thanks
time to go watch berserk again
Never a bad time to do so
no. I'm french. I've never been in a shower.
Sorry for your affliction. I love your food and wine tho.
was that baldomort's voice in the trailer?
if the mountain won't come to Muhammad, then we must get onto the stagecoach
Hop in nerd, we're killing gods.
Big funny
Big thanks
You should do Monster Train!
Never heard of it! I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.
since you like dark games maybe try "the Last Spell"
Yooooo this looks sick!
@@connorconquers I also have a few other recommendations.
All are either Rouge likes or Rouge lites.
- Death must die (the God of Death went evil, we must stop him.)(live, sp)
- Crawl (you and your friends found treasure, you don't want to share)(live, mp)
- Alina of the Arena (you are a gladiator, survive)(turn based, sp)
-Dungreed (my Personal favourite) (A Doungeon swallowed the village, save the villagers Adventurer!)(live, sp)
-Curse of the dead gods (you found a crypt, explore it)(live, sp)
-Wizard of legend (you want to become a legendary wizard, Fight for it)(live, sp)
-loop hero (the world was deleted, remember it)(not sure what to call it, sp)
-Shotgun king (you are the Black King (CHESS!) defeat the white king with your shotgun)(turnbased, sp)
Those were all for now
*sp: Single Player
mp: Multiplayer
Dam, your vids are so darn great. Only negative is theres to few xD
Thanks! Hoping to fix that issue this year.
I LIVE CLOSE TO BARTON STREET IN HAMILTON!!
Oh man, I'm so sorry lmao. Seriously tho, hope you're in one of the good pockets. I never have a good time on that street.
I only live there. I work in Toronto. The upgraded version
a comment for the algorithm
i fully believe dd2 is a prequel to dd1, it just feels thematically correct to have it be that heroes who solved a regional threat are just one of hundreds who arrive at the hamlet to solve an outright world ending threat that was hidden beneath the earth. (although, dd2's would've become a world ending threat if left to fester for much longer) it also follows a Lovecraftian style perfectly, the horror of dd2 being solved and the respite it provides being so completely paled by the hell ahead makes me want to kiss the air in awe of how well its executed
to me this is a game about fighting depression
valid take, honesty
I love your channel. I just kinda wish you were an economically precarious student instead of a healthy adult, that way we'd get bimonthly videos instead of bi-yearly. Thanks for helping me get the gist of both Noita and Darkest Dungeon, all the while making me laugh like a sadistic 5 year old.
Hah, sometimes same. But then who would be programming GTA6? I am trying to figure out how to do more videos this year, even if they aren't all guides.
@@connorconquersOf course, don't let the format get in the way of your creativity. Do what you like, it's obvious you have the skills and creativity to make things work!
Well ... that was an awesome video
wheres crusader 😭
Wait, is that klepto really not in the game?
??
@@connorconquers sorry, I forgot his name, but seeing as crusaders aren't in the game, I guess explains his absence.
@@omegaheartless OH! Yeah he JUST got added as DLC character a little while back. When I made this he was 100% absent. And, yeah, that jerk rolled klepto in my DD1 games a lot too.
Poor Audrey lol
After I got better at DD2 I realized she's actually amazing. I did her dirty in this video because skill issue.
Canadian 🤭
Yeah, but I grew up next to Detroit so my ability to use the metric system is completely fucked.
The best guide is to play Darkest Dungeon instead.
Excellent video, terrible sequel of a game
I wouldn't call it terrible by any means. Underwhelming, maybe. They tried something different and it didn't live up to the 1st game. I think it's important that devs try to iterate and evolve their formulas but there was just something here that didn't add up to the sum of its parts.
good intro that can make people think hard about reality, but I already accepted all that as fact
Gaze into the void n' chill vibes
with the only difference being you watch during that time jojos bizarre adventure for the third time@@connorconquers
The title of this video is a blatant lie
Yeah I have a habit of this it seems 🤔
I still prefer the other darkest dungeon 2
TH-camr challange : every time you bring Lovecraft in your video dont mention that he was racist (impossible)
skill issue
Darkest dungeon is a roguelite, not a roguelike, fix it
Updated to dating sim platformer. Good catch, again.
