Some games are just too perfectly balanced even for the spiff man himself... *That statement will remain the truth until Spiff himself proves me wrong.*
Game: Has recruiting system. Spiff: I will take your entire stock of 999 soldiers. Game: But we only have 20. How are we... Spiff: Did you check now ? Game: What ? How did you?! Stop, STOP !!!
Game company hires Spiff to make video -> Spiff breaks the game -> Spiff’s viewers rush out to buy the game and play the exploits before they are patched -> Game company profits…
Pretty sure they actually implemented the exploit on purpose to get more traction from him playing the game... How else do you overlook a game breaking exploit you only have to press the right mouse button for?
They actually do that for a reason, technically he's doing the job of a bata tester and finding bugs that need to be fixed. Sometimes developers leave some of them in intentionally but almost all the time they fix them if possible. Or at least make it harder to pull off. It's actually quite a common thing for game makers to do, doing it this way saves them having to hire a beta tester and provides advertising in one fell swoop, saving money overall. Plus it entertains us so our Fair Lord Sir.Spiffing Brit can keep making awesome videos for us all to enjoy. Kinda like killing a whole flock of birds with one stone instead of just a few.
Anarchy units: follow some guy, who calls himself their leader and take orders from him for no reason at all Order units: don't use mind reading on you every morning and don't shackle you to your workplace I have a feeling that we made a few wrong turns somewhere along the way;)
If you are actually more familiar with anarchism then you would not say this... Not saying that the game developers' interpretation of anarchy is not dumb tho
“Or we can work for the Ministry of Intelligence for Anarchy!” Hmm, I suspect the people who made this have some fundamental misunderstandings about what anarchy means…
I'd say you're right but then again the CIA has a long history of destabilizing foreign governments to sell mass amounts of cocaine in order to 'Raise funds'
@@Fancysaurus yes, in the support of the interests of the hierarchy they exist in. Anarchy isn’t just “oh, we do crime” or something, it is actions against the existence of hierarchy, and that’s not even counting the actual political ideologies of being an anarchist…just the straight basic meaning of the word.
I really enjoyed the game! Played a bunch of the preview build they sent me when I was hunting for exploits. I know its not going to be everyone's cup of tea and with all new releases these days it needs polish but it is a game that is right up my street!
Gotta love how when a company sponsors Spiff to play a brand new game you gotta think they know what they're getting into and so Spiff is basically a freelance combination QA tester and hype man at that point.
Being a fan of this series. I'm really impressed with how a final "sequel" looks and plays, very nice. (disregarding all of the other KB 1 games) Also, KB 1 lost and corrupted my games so many times I just gave up after a while, 😅

50 minutes after liking and I'm still not being set on fire by a dragon that I'm supposed to be forced to fight against. I call false advertising and will discuss further lawsuits with my local dubious intelligence minister.
They just gave an exploiter this game to find exploits for them so they can patch them 1. Spiff gets free game and content 2. The devs get to patch sum exploits 3. And the viewers get some more content to enjoy watching In conclusion everybody wins
To be honest, Spiff, with how smoothly you lay things out... I wouldn't be surprised if you could convince people to actually like the video AND get conscripted to fight dragons because you delivered that advertisement super well.
Spiff with the Zapp Brannigan strategy... I'm pretty sure most of the time his inspiration is this quote "When I'm in command, every mission is a suicide mission."
Whenever I wonder if I should buy a game or a dlc, I wait for spiff to break it so that I can see if I like the interface/mechanics of the game. He breaks games, not wallets

spiffing brit finds out how to make free money by creating an army for a whopping zero gold while making money in real life by getting paid to break the game *M E T A*
Unimportant fact: I was preparing dinner while watching this and at the exact moment Spiff said "Easy peasy lemon squeezey" I was actually squeezing a lemon.
I had to stop midway through this video because I had a CD copy of Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 and the Wacky Worlds expansion disk to test. But as soon as I finished having fun I immediately came back to here to finish the video. No video will stop me from testing a game I just got
Well this inspired me! To play the previous games. Where you can actually see the creatures in combat and the art style is bright and fun and not brown-all-around, and the writing is mostly funny and interesting (and can be scanned through and easily ignored in 2 seconds - so you don't have to slog through minutes of bland cutscenes).
Developers: Play our game, make video, we pay you. Spiff: ...You know what I do to games, right? Developers: ... Honestly though, I have bought 2 games because Spiff has played them, and both games he showed us how to break them.
Well, this is a bit more complicated than what I used to have to do when playing the original King's Bounty back in the 80's. Admittedly the game mechanics were a bit easier back then, and all you had to do to give yourself an unseemly amount of money was know how to access and change a bit of code (UGE rules) , but it worked.
I only watched 20% of this video, not because I didn't like it, but because it helped me get an idea for an exploit in another game, and so couldn't wait to try it out.
Only Spiff can ask his viewers to subscribe so that they can get a chance to be killed by dragons in compulsory military service without any compensation and they would still subscribe
I loved cheesing the original dos game as a kid, I'd find all the maps to go to the last area, buy two dragons, and then wipe most of the rest of the game. Good times.
Please break Plutocracy! As soon as I saw that game I thought, this is a game for Spiff. It's about becoming the richest man in the US in the 1800's by using the stock market and loan sharking! Do it Spiff, and I promise to vote for Yorkshire Gold for President in the next election.
Casually found a place here in Spain that sells Yorkshire Tea. Obviously i had to get my hands on it, a box of 210 tea bags, that probably will last me a few months, or a few days for Spiff, depending on how you want to calculate it.
I feel like when game developers make games they focus on the good characters and attributes and forget about the evil and most people don't pay too much attention to the evil stuff even though it is way OP almost all the time.
To me the funniest thing about this video was watching Spiff play anarchists. Because politically speaking, anarchists are diametrically opposed to capitalists. From the wiki article on anarchism “it is usually described alongside libertarian Marxism as the libertarian wing (libertarian socialism) of the socialist movement, and has a strong historical association with anti-capitalism and socialism.”

That's just a different type of infinite money exploit.
I can honestly see this happening. in fact they fixed greedfall when I was about to use Spiff's exploit for myself :(

12:50 - Spiff: "Look at these lovely Deserters, ohh how I'd love to have some Deserters in my army!"

Oh when will you realise? You don't want a balanced game. If a game is not broken then where is the reward for experimentation?

3. And the viewers get some more content to enjoy watching

And the game gets a fair bit of publicity too.

Sending your new game to Spiff for QA, what a concept.
