@user-xb2jx9zx1k Ja total. Ich liebe die Deutsche Sprache und Kultur und würde sie niemals zensieren wollen. Your English is pretty good, my friend! Hello from the USA :)
I love how the courthouse, easily the most stress-inducing fight of the game, is also the only fight that's quite literally not actually happening and thus should not be able to kill you. The game really doubled down on the FU energy there.
The Nightmare! level in the Freedom Chronicles DLC is worse, I'd say. Zero cover, a literal wall of fire surrounding you and enemies start shooting at you before you can even properly see them. The only upside is the related achievement is tied to challenge mode and not the main story so you can keep hammering away at it. Makes the Courthouse look like a breeze.
@@Spiderblokenever played freedom chronicles, but the courtroom scene problem for me was nearly no ammo and health, meaning I effectively could do nothing except camp and hope to survive, do you start the Nightmare level the same way?
@@hanneswiggenhorn2023 In Challenge mode you start with the full 100 for health/armour, but there's no pickups, only what enemies drop. Survival on that level is... optional in the main story, but you have to finish it in Challenge mode; it's short but painful. I should say I'm on PC (Steam), but afaik the achievements are the same across platforms, it's the developer that creates them.
the choice to have the cut scenes be unskippable is the closest a game can make you feel to death. devs did a good job at making the stakes as high as they could, makes the mein leben run legendary
The only game that had a worse cutscene situation IMO was Max Payne 3. You're right about it making you feel DAMN good when you never have to watch it again lol
@@MacCarell I will never say long unskippable cutscenes are good LOL. I was just making a joke about the best part being you never have to watch them again. I'm definitely on your team for this one
@@patriot17764th I'm definitely going back for the waw 100%. I remember the grenades like it was yesterday, and I'll pray for your mental now that you've gone through it 😂
Mein Leben is also a reference to a death quote shouted by guards you kill in Wolfenstein 3D Also, I don't know which is more epic, getting this achievement or doing it with only dying 4 times.
I've never played Wolfenstien 3D, that's a really cool callback that I wasn't aware of Imagine if I hadn't botted out at the beginning. Could've been a clean 2 deaths. But I'm still riding the achievement high, so I'll take it in 4 lol
Also amusingly, in the in-game arcade Wolfstone 3D which is Wolfenstein 3D but reskinned the enemies to the Allies, the guards shout “My Life” instead of Mein Leben. (EDIT: It’s the Russian guards to be exact.)
Accidentally stumbled on this video since I'm attempting to get this achievement right now. Honestly thought you were a huge channel cause of how entertaining this was. You earned a subscriber, bro. Looking forward to more from you.
@@squinqz8bp230 Nope, I took a bit of a break, but as of typing this comment, I just died during the return to Manhattan level. That's the farthest I've made it.
The mvp was the practice 😂 I did most of the scary encounters 5 times, and the final encounter like 10. If you're going in blind it's probably a nightmare
I'm not going to disagree with you on that 😂. If I didn't plan on making this into content, I probably wouldn't have practiced. I would have just ripped a few attempts per week and hoped for the best
@morgansbasement I was watching some other guy play mein leben and his aiming was complete dogsh!t. I was like Bro with aim like that you deserve to die lol
@@BigPapaSam96 I know what you mean 😂 some people are just more casual, and when the pressure gets high they can't convert. But lucky for us it keeps the achievement/trophy rare lmao
This achievement is difficult not even because of the enemies, but because of the large randomness. For example, the Ausmerzer on the balcony, instead of stealth, I generally preferred to take heavy weapons and shoot enemies at the entrance to the location. Because either the enemy notices you behind your back, or the hatchet crashes into the wall, or the Ubersoldier notices when you sneak from the side. Therefore, it is necessary not only shoot accurately, it is good to use shelters, to know the places where enemies appear. The most important thing is to use your intuition and navigate the situation as quickly as possible. Because if something goes wrong and you hesitate for a second or two, you're fucked.
I completely agree. This achievement is at the intersection of skill and variance navigation. Like you said, you have to shoot straight and improvise well. Practice definitely makes the difference for something like this
Considering the age of the game too, this is clearly a ridiculously hard achievement. Much respect to you for even trying. Even more for making it happen.
Never said it was old, just that a game around 5 years old would have many more people having accomplished the achievement already. Especially with streamers being under lockdown during 2020 you would figure at least a few would have given it a shot for the views. And for the record, I played the original Wolfenstein on the PC and that is absolutely old.
@@impofstpete727 I think I get what the other guy meant. My mind didn't go to "it's been out for a while and only 0.02% have the achievement", but I instead thought you're one of the guys who say "games these days aren't shit, games back then were hard". I assume the other guy thought something similar (maybe I'm totally wrong though). But now that it's clear you meant the first thing, yeah, I agree. Such a low completion rate for a game that's been out for quite a while now definitely means something.
@@normalguycap I completely agree. A recent game that came out and solved this problem was Persona 3 Reloaded. They built in a fast forward button for all the convos in the game. This should become a game law lmao
@@normalguycapanything inconvenient can kill a game. Theres so many small things that can ruin how u play a game. Time wasting mechanics show be shunned but ppl keep buyin it

They must not play their own game and I've heard that QA has been the most deleted department of the industry for a decade now.
To this day one of the hardest achievements I have done. Congratulations to all who have done this one. The final fight on the boat is an absolute nail-biter!
I won it in January. It's so hard, but so sweet when it's done. Congratulations to you and everyone who made it. I needed so many tries, maybe more than one-hundred. To get the achievement with only four attempts is supernatural.
I did individual segment practice before I attempted, which absolutely made a difference in the number. If I went in raw it would've taken a long ass time lol
So glad this game is getting more recognition, when it came out all everyone talked about was how there was a lot of cutscenes, but no mention of the gameplay. Super satisfying gunplay and stealth, really interesting setting, GREAT GAME
Damn man I thought I was watching a video from a well established youtuber. The quality of this video and your personality made watching this video a great experience. I hope you continue to grow, you've earned a subscriber!
@morgansbasement lmaoooo timeout. I remember beating it on death incarnate back in the day. I would consider myself an elite gamer and I must have died in that courtroom like 10 times. I've noticed that under the desk strat is prevalent, I usually just ran to that little area to the left just as you disarm those two nazi goons
@@stormblahblah5589 I definitely know that pain lmao, I practiced quite a bit before doing the Mein Leben runs, and I died so many times until I used the desk strat. It's definitely the best option
Man this gave me second hand anxiety like a mfer. Great job dude. I wonder if the devs will end up watching this, This is the first time I’ve seen somebody do it, I always thought it was put there as a joke because of how exhausting the cut scenes are, and how ridiculous the hardest difficulties are. This is a game where you die often on normal, let alone becoming a real life terror Billy. 10/10, subbed.
I stumbled upon this video randomly and I wasn't really in the mood to watch a video this long. Clicked anyway and 38 minutes later I'm at the end of the video. Amazing job, congrats on your achievement and I hope to see more from you!
So glad your video popped up randomly having never been into Wolfenstein games. Your quality editing and energy are top notch my guy and I loved watching every minute. Your style is reminiscent of the old school youtube days with a fresh new energy. Love from Australia
Dude, that was entertaining as hell to watch. I can't believe you pulled that off in only 4 deaths, but mad props to you. I remember my first playthrough of this game took me a couple weeks to finish (just playing at night after work). I can't even imagine trying to sit down and run the game start to finish in a single session haha.
it's pronounced "Mine Lay-ben". It's a reference to the original 1992 Wolfenstein game. The soldiers yelled that when they got shot by the player. But hell yeah, New Blood & New Colossus (and Old Blood too) were such fun games!
I was reminiscing of this game because I haven't played this or the other ones since they came out. This was super fun to watch. It's crazy to think this game is nearly a decade old. Hell, TNO is already a decade old. Fun times. Glad this was recommended to me on YT.
I gotchu! The next video isn't a permadeath run, but there should be another permadeath achievement after that. Stay tuned, and thanks for the support!
@@TehAwesomer No it's not That would be "Meine Lieben" "Mein Lieben" would be somewhat "My Loving" where loving is the noun. Could be a book title or something but makes no real sense.
Fair play! Not an easy achievement to get even after the patches. For anybody that may have gave up on this in the first few months after launch and may still want to 100% the game, definitely go back! They released a number of patches that made death incarnate/mein leben much less punishing than what it was at release.
Popped in my recs. Legit impressed by your dedication and commitment. Your skill. But most of all you remind me of like, earlier achievement TH-cam and like even my own friends back in the day. You remind me an old friend of mine in the best way. I remember when I beat Gears 1 in insane. It was such an incredible feeling. Can’t even imagine how this felt like. Keep this good hearted and intense energy. It’s extremely genuine. Have a great day and congrats.
Saying I gave you some nostalgia to OG achievement hunting is the highest praise, so I appreciate that! I'm still figuring out my style, but I'm gunning for exactly what you described! And if you liked this video, then the all Hollow Knight achievements video that's coming up next is gunna get you hyped!
Amazing video, you are literally the main character lmao. The way you explained everything made this video incredibly easy to follow along with and it felt like a movie when I watched it all. Great fucking work dude!
You just became my spirit animal with: "Kill the guy in the middle, then the guy on the right... and then the guy... in the other middle!"... Nice one, and somehow I understood, general! Great video, btw.
@@morgansbasement Well I return 11 days and 32 attempts later having finally got Mein Leben. Man some of the tips in this video really did help me. Although I did end up fighting and killing everything in the final boss fight, just to make sure I had the greatest chance of a heart attack. So glad it's done though.
@@morgansbasement Thanks man. Considering for every million people who've played it on Xbox, only 200 have Mein Leben'd I'm pretty chuffed to be in the club
A few tips that people should know for Mein Leben: -Fergus Timeline is recommended, The LKW is really good -A well placed LKW Charged shot can instantly destroy a Zitadelle and Zerstorer -The Courthouse is easy if you keep moving, despite what people would say -Choose the Constrictor Harness, Stealth will save your life -Dont underestimate the power of the Ubergewehr
I disagree with the harness pick after the courthouse, but that's because the health overcharge was way more helpful when things went sideways, but if you can avoid getting scene at all it wouldn't be needed. That's a tall ask though 😂 It all comes down to executing a strategy though, so anything can work if you're prepared for that case
@@coltforceplayer It's definitely useful! I just kept getting detected LOL, so the extra health was super helpful as a first choice after The Courthouse. Ideally having them all would be the move lool
I prefer the new order and old blood to this one but the mein leben challenge is really cool to do and this difficulty doesn’t exist in the previous game, great video
Thanks for checking the video out! I haven't played the new order, so I definitely need to do that on the channel. I was a big fan of old blood though, so I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it was great!
The way this was narrated, the live commentary all of it and I thought you were a larger TH-camr I can’t wait till you take off and you definitely gained a sub for me
As someone who has 100% the game and it's dlc mein leben runs, LEAN IS SO IMPORTANT, also at the first ausmerzer section, take your time and use the lasergewehr heavy weapon throughout the entire first mission after killing the super soldat and getting it
That was awesome! Well done. I am in the process of training for this run. I am about to start my second bootcamp (2nd half of the game). Watching people achieve this, motivates me.
Thanks, I appreciate you checking it out! I saw the video where you said you'd be platinuming Wolf 2, and I know you can do it. 2 days of good practice, and you'll definitely be able to clean it up!
Dang, you also did this crazy achievement congrats. I also beat this on Mein Leben. I somehow managed to hurt myself with tomahawk. No joking. When I wanted to throw it, it touched the wall and it came back to me and I almost died. Congrats man
The tomahawk physics are completely random, so Im not surprised 😂 I'll also have the Max Payne 3 permadeath up at the end of this week, so if you like this kind of stuff I have an injection coming your way
I really appreciate that! I genuinely really enjoy your content, and I felt inspired to do something tough after watching you put up with *the species that shall not be named* runs. Thanks again for checking out the video!
Deserved achievement. Now unlock the Google Translate achievement and press the sound icon to hear how you should pronounce MEIN LEBEN. Thanks for uploading. GG.
Haven’t played this game in a while but after seeing the fun gunplay again I‘ll try and see if I can get this achievement aswell also first time seeing a vid of yours and I’m staying to see more
@@morgansbasement thanks but I already finished the game maybe 2 years back but seeing your vid reminded me of all the fun I had with it and while I’m at it might as well try to 100% it. Downloading rn
that was fun to watch it, thank you for sharing. but "mein leben" is from the first Wolfenstein, if you killed a blue soldier they yelled "mein leben" back in the days you heard this only if you had a soundcard in your system. pc speaker sound forever....
Never heard of you before, but you suddenly popped up in my recommended. I loved this vid. Your story telling by combining both post commentary and live gameplay was amazingly done
I was struggling really hard playing on do or die on my first playthrough, even then it was a frustrating loading screen simulator so I can't even imagine how brutal this is even if there was no permadeath
The fact that people are actually beating this on console with controller is insane. This game made me sell my Xbox and switch back to a PC again because to me shooters like these seemed close to impossible with the limited possibilities of analog stick movement. The speed and precision you can get from a mouse just cannot be matched and that's why doing stuff like this on controller takes so much more skill. I'd argue that the skill ceiling with mouse/keyboard is slightly higher but the fact that you've reached this level already is fantastic. Congrats and thanks for proving that input device choice indeed is a choice and that it should require skill instead of an overpowered aim assist.
I'm SIGNIFICANTLY better with mouse and keyboard, so this was definitely eye opening for me as well. Especially when duel wielding and not having aim assist. It really makes you wish you could whip around and 1 tap the enemies with a mouse lol
I did not know who you were, I have never played any game in the Wolfenstein series, nor watched any let's plays but I DID watch through the entirity of this video on the edge of my seat and mentally cheering you on during every fight. The algorithm brought me here and I just unlocked the subscribed achievement ;)
Those unskippable cutscenes are unskippable for a reason: They're loading screens. Instead of a loading screen with a progress bar, you're presented with plot exposition. Also, I vaguely remember that you can find a path to the bottom of the elevator in roswell, avoiding combat the whole way up. I might be misremembering though, because that was 7 years ago.
Cutscenes that last minutes don't count as loading screens haha, but I know what you mean. And to your point about Roswell, I'm not sure, but that sounds useful haha
Absolutely great stuff! After watching this and the dlc video I was inspired to do a mein leben run as well. Finally got it done after a lot of tries. Hats off to anyone who's done it! Keep making great videos.
Woooooooow what a fuckin achievement!!! You're a damn legend, in the truest sense of the word. This shit was the atuff of legends. Your story will be told for eons, your legacy solidified in time immemorial. That was so fucking cool dude! Congratulations on a truly monumental achievement!
Its called mein leben because the enemies in the old wolfenstein had that as their (only) death quote so every enemy you killed would say it and it was so funny
I beat the Wolfenstein 2 DLC's on Mein Leben, watch it here: th-cam.com/video/AqRaHvPsdgY/w-d-xo.html
Meiin Leben means my life. Mein Lieben means my love.

I remember my first playthrough of this game took me a couple weeks to finish (just playing at night after work). I can't even imagine trying to sit down and run the game start to finish in a single session haha.
I was also doing it after/before work, so I completely get what you mean!
it's pronounced "Mine Lay-ben". It's a reference to the original 1992 Wolfenstein game. The soldiers yelled that when they got shot by the player.
But hell yeah, New Blood & New Colossus (and Old Blood too) were such fun games!
Cool reference and I like the meaning being My Life, it being a permadeath difficulty
More like canadians say Eh?
So my Lehben
Yeah he's saying it like "lieben," which means "love." Could still work I guess but definitely not the same.
It's not pronounced Layben wtf
@@GigiBranconiOf course it is, wtf. Sprechen sie Deutsch?
18:22 you can actually kill him before he shoots pretty consistently
that even gives you the rocket pistol slightly early
On mien leben that's a risky maneuver 😂
Damn that had me on the edge of my seat. Can't imagine the anxiety of actually playing through those later levels, congratulations man, you earned it
Thank you, buddy!
I was reminiscing of this game because I haven't played this or the other ones since they came out. This was super fun to watch. It's crazy to think this game is nearly a decade old. Hell, TNO is already a decade old. Fun times. Glad this was recommended to me on YT.
I appreciate that you checked it out! It's crazy that time has passed so quickly, but thankfully the gameplay holds up
Dawg I seriously enjoyed the whole video and would love to see more stuff like this. Thank you 🙏
I gotchu! The next video isn't a permadeath run, but there should be another permadeath achievement after that. Stay tuned, and thanks for the support!
"Mein Leben" = "Mine Lay-ben" = "My Life"
"Mein Lieben" = "Mine Lee-ben" = "My Dear" (edit : approximately, it's mostly mangled German, read the replies for details.)
Meine Liebe*
@@bastel19951 You are correct, "Mein Lieben" is plural = "My Dears."
@@TehAwesomer No it's not
That would be "Meine Lieben"
"Mein Lieben" would be somewhat "My Loving" where loving is the noun.
Could be a book title or something but makes no real sense.
@@RainerLP Thanks for the corrections. Primary point was that he was pronouncing the word wrong. :)
Looking through these comments, I'm starting to wonder if anyone actually knows how to speak German.
Fair play! Not an easy achievement to get even after the patches.
For anybody that may have gave up on this in the first few months after launch and may still want to 100% the game, definitely go back! They released a number of patches that made death incarnate/mein leben much less punishing than what it was at release.
I hadn't played the game prior to this, so I wasn't aware it was tougher before. That sounds like a nightmare 😂
Popped in my recs. Legit impressed by your dedication and commitment. Your skill. But most of all you remind me of like, earlier achievement TH-cam and like even my own friends back in the day.
You remind me an old friend of mine in the best way. I remember when I beat Gears 1 in insane. It was such an incredible feeling. Can’t even imagine how this felt like.
Keep this good hearted and intense energy. It’s extremely genuine. Have a great day and congrats.
Saying I gave you some nostalgia to OG achievement hunting is the highest praise, so I appreciate that!
I'm still figuring out my style, but I'm gunning for exactly what you described! And if you liked this video, then the all Hollow Knight achievements video that's coming up next is gunna get you hyped!
"Why do you hunt Achievements?"
This video. Literally this.
Amazing video, you are literally the main character lmao. The way you explained everything made this video incredibly easy to follow along with and it felt like a movie when I watched it all. Great fucking work dude!
Thank you very much! I have another one of these coming out this week, so stay tuned, my friend!
My god, how do you have only 900 subs ? The editing, humour and gameplay, ITS PERFECT. This man deserves 1 mil !
Ahaha that's the energy I like to see! We'll build it up brick by brick!
Even if sadly he doesn't have 1M sub, he does have 1M view and well deserved !! That video was awesome ! =)
Well 28K now hahaha
You just became my spirit animal with: "Kill the guy in the middle, then the guy on the right... and then the guy... in the other middle!"... Nice one, and somehow I understood, general! Great video, btw.
LMFAO these are the thoughts we have when things are about to get hairy
The fact 2 of your 4 deaths were in the first couple mins of the game is mind blowing.
That wheel chair section is kinda hard lol, I should've practiced it like I practiced the second half. I might've knocked those deaths off the tally
@@morgansbasement Well I return 11 days and 32 attempts later having finally got Mein Leben. Man some of the tips in this video really did help me. Although I did end up fighting and killing everything in the final boss fight, just to make sure I had the greatest chance of a heart attack. So glad it's done though.
@@steerj07 Lets go dude! It comes down to planning and perseverance, which sounds like what you focused on. I'll celly on your behalf, congrats!
@@morgansbasement Thanks man. Considering for every million people who've played it on Xbox, only 200 have Mein Leben'd I'm pretty chuffed to be in the club
We're strolling into the club together here!
A few tips that people should know for Mein Leben:
-Fergus Timeline is recommended, The LKW is really good
-A well placed LKW Charged shot can instantly destroy a Zitadelle and Zerstorer
-The Courthouse is easy if you keep moving, despite what people would say
-Choose the Constrictor Harness, Stealth will save your life
-Dont underestimate the power of the Ubergewehr
I disagree with the harness pick after the courthouse, but that's because the health overcharge was way more helpful when things went sideways, but if you can avoid getting scene at all it wouldn't be needed. That's a tall ask though 😂 It all comes down to executing a strategy though, so anything can work if you're prepared for that case
@@morgansbasement The Terror Billy thing for the Harness allows you to silently kill Supersoldaten if u have the Magnum upgrade, it's really useful
@@coltforceplayer It's definitely useful! I just kept getting detected LOL, so the extra health was super helpful as a first choice after The Courthouse. Ideally having them all would be the move lool
@@morgansbasement yeah everything goes back to The Courthouse, definitely the most memorable part of the game
if you keep moving in the courthouse you still get hit. enemies dont miss.
"Am I wired or am I tired? It's 2:30 on a Monday morning and I'm balls deep into a Mein Leben run" That shit broke me😂😭🤣
I prefer the new order and old blood to this one but the mein leben challenge is really cool to do and this difficulty doesn’t exist in the previous game, great video
Thanks for checking the video out! I haven't played the new order, so I definitely need to do that on the channel. I was a big fan of old blood though, so I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it was great!
The funny thing is people were trying to get achievement changed. But there were people who already did it and were told no
@@Judgementxxx Achievement redaction/changes have happened sub 10 times, so I'm not surprised it wasn't changed
The way this was narrated, the live commentary all of it and I thought you were a larger TH-camr I can’t wait till you take off and you definitely gained a sub for me
I really appreciate the kind words! If you like this video then the next one coming out will blow your socks off!
for the conveyor belt section on Venus you can use suppressed weapons and they wont spot you! hot tip for anyone who is attempting this too
As someone who has 100% the game and it's dlc mein leben runs, LEAN IS SO IMPORTANT, also at the first ausmerzer section, take your time and use the lasergewehr heavy weapon throughout the entire first mission after killing the super soldat and getting it
I learned early how important the lean is 😂. This is some solid advice 👌
The video was so well done and engaging, thank you for the amazing content, sub
I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
That was awesome! Well done. I am in the process of training for this run. I am about to start my second bootcamp (2nd half of the game). Watching people achieve this, motivates me.
Thanks, I appreciate you checking it out! I saw the video where you said you'd be platinuming Wolf 2, and I know you can do it. 2 days of good practice, and you'll definitely be able to clean it up!
@@morgansbasement That’s so cool of you to say, thank you. Next week I am off work and have plenty of time to practice.
@@platinum_vault Let's go, buddy! I have faith you'll get it sooner than you think
@@morgansbasement You were right, Morgan! I got it! Omg, I can’t believe it.
@@platinum_vault I told you bro! Lets go! Congrats on the completion
Dang, you also did this crazy achievement congrats. I also beat this on Mein Leben. I somehow managed to hurt myself with tomahawk. No joking. When I wanted to throw it, it touched the wall and it came back to me and I almost died. Congrats man
The tomahawk physics are completely random, so Im not surprised 😂
I'll also have the Max Payne 3 permadeath up at the end of this week, so if you like this kind of stuff I have an injection coming your way
This just got recommended to me, and I wish it had sooner especially when I was playing Mein Leben! Lmao good stuff!
I'm a big fan of your content and your discord sever, so I'm glad this got sent to you by the algo gods!
Dude this video was awesome! Always good to see another achievement hunter on here with no respect for their mental well-being haha
I really appreciate that! I genuinely really enjoy your content, and I felt inspired to do something tough after watching you put up with *the species that shall not be named* runs. Thanks again for checking out the video!
Didn't play the game and never heard of this channel before but after that vid I just had to sub 😂 well done man
Thank you my friend!
0:05 I can't wait for the face again 3:29 😮 wow that was fast but 3:35 😮 4:24 😮 5:05 😮 6:23 😮 7:06
Bro no way LOL
@@morgansbasement I'm not done yet
What a coincidence, I'm currently suffering through this exact trophy 😂
Great video hey, very relatable and entertaining 🖤🤘
Subbed
I'm glad you stopped by and enjoyed it! Good luck on the trophy hunt! Let me know when you get the bastard 😂
Wow. This is so impressive! I would not have the patience or skill to do the same lol.
You earned a sub❤
Thank you, buddy!
Deserved achievement. Now unlock the Google Translate achievement and press the sound icon to hear how you should pronounce MEIN LEBEN. Thanks for uploading. GG.
At least 200 people have mentioned the correct pronunciation, so I can promise I've got that one logged at this point LOL
Haven’t played this game in a while but after seeing the fun gunplay again I‘ll try and see if I can get this achievement aswell also first time seeing a vid of yours and I’m staying to see more
If you have gamepass then you can choose to play on pc or console to clean things up! I'm glad you liked the video!
@@morgansbasement thanks but I already finished the game maybe 2 years back but seeing your vid reminded me of all the fun I had with it and while I’m at it might as well try to 100% it. Downloading rn
Man, I'm so proud of you, I almost do this too but I instantly die in Venus
If you made it to Venus, then you can definitely complete the game. Time to boot it back up and earn the achievement
@@morgansbasement I don't know, i spend a 4 days to earn this trophy and I mentally bronker when I die in new Orleans or Venus i so ready to quit
@@lrmonamiakovich2518 Yeah I can't imagine dying there and not being tilted. I hope you can get it soon!
@@morgansbasement I MADE IT, I FKIN MADE, I spend 6 hours to this and made it, thanks for your inspiration!
@@lrmonamiakovich2518 LETS FUCKING GOOOO! CONGRATS!
OMG I'm half way through the video and just realized hes doing this on a CONTROLLER. WOW.
Perfect opportunity to name this difficulty "Mein Kampf" why they didn't, I will never know..
To reference the old wolfenstein 3d
@@AndrewCiao, no fucking shit, but the historical reference would have been better.
This is what true men are made of
that was fun to watch it, thank you for sharing. but "mein leben" is from the first Wolfenstein, if you killed a blue soldier they yelled "mein leben" back in the days you heard this only if you had a soundcard in your system. pc speaker sound forever....
Adding the disclaimer for the sound card is actually funny, cause I imagine there are a ton of people that never even heard this haha
This was a lot of fun to watch, well done
0 saves permadeath difficulties are my favourite in any game! (Even though I'm not always capable of doing it)
I like them alot too! It gives me an equal sense of dread and excitement. Low key kinda addicting
Awesome video, my man. Great job getting this achievement, especially with only 4 deaths that's crazy.
Never heard of you before, but you suddenly popped up in my recommended. I loved this vid. Your story telling by combining both post commentary and live gameplay was amazingly done
I'm glad you popped in and enjoyed yourself!
I was struggling really hard playing on do or die on my first playthrough, even then it was a frustrating loading screen simulator so I can't even imagine how brutal this is even if there was no permadeath
Thankfully I only died 4 times, so I didn't have to reach the depths of frustration lmao
I beat the previous game on Uber, but had to switch to the second lowest difficulty as it was just ridiculous at launch
@@MrNegativecreep07 i played it at launch. i had no idea they made it easier.
Congratulations on 1 million views. Well deserved
Talk about a wild week! Happy to see you sticking around!
@@morgansbasement Always. I am happy I am along for the ride
if I tried this my controller would be non existent
If I had died at the end, then I would've had to stop at Best Buy to get a new one the next day lmao, so I feel you on that
The fact that people are actually beating this on console with controller is insane. This game made me sell my Xbox and switch back to a PC again because to me shooters like these seemed close to impossible with the limited possibilities of analog stick movement. The speed and precision you can get from a mouse just cannot be matched and that's why doing stuff like this on controller takes so much more skill. I'd argue that the skill ceiling with mouse/keyboard is slightly higher but the fact that you've reached this level already is fantastic. Congrats and thanks for proving that input device choice indeed is a choice and that it should require skill instead of an overpowered aim assist.
I'm SIGNIFICANTLY better with mouse and keyboard, so this was definitely eye opening for me as well. Especially when duel wielding and not having aim assist. It really makes you wish you could whip around and 1 tap the enemies with a mouse lol
What a legend....!!! Must be one of the best videos I've seen in ages.
Thank you, Eddie!
0:15 it’s point zero two of gamers have not zero point two
Hearing him mispronounce leben every 30 seconds is giving me an aneurysm
Fair response lmao
Lay-ben
Lieben is love, awwww.
@@grant4735 Exactly! Gotta get into character so I can join the hippie resistance in the game
I did not know who you were, I have never played any game in the Wolfenstein series, nor watched any let's plays but I DID watch through the entirity of this video on the edge of my seat and mentally cheering you on during every fight. The algorithm brought me here and I just unlocked the subscribed achievement ;)
LETS GOOOO!
00:14 you said 'zero point two', it's actually 'point zero two'.. 0.2 ≠ .02
mispronounced the number at 0:14. not watching this garbage.
Yeah you got me lmao
Didn't know this game existed, honestly looks really fun.
Congrats on the victory
I really enjoyed the game tbh, and if you have gamepass then you can play it for free
This achievement is insane as is. But wow doing it on a controller is some next level cock and ball torture.
It's a tough job out there, but someone has to do it on the sticks!
Those unskippable cutscenes are unskippable for a reason: They're loading screens. Instead of a loading screen with a progress bar, you're presented with plot exposition.
Also, I vaguely remember that you can find a path to the bottom of the elevator in roswell, avoiding combat the whole way up. I might be misremembering though, because that was 7 years ago.
Cutscenes that last minutes don't count as loading screens haha, but I know what you mean. And to your point about Roswell, I'm not sure, but that sounds useful haha
Absolutely great stuff! After watching this and the dlc video I was inspired to do a mein leben run as well. Finally got it done after a lot of tries. Hats off to anyone who's done it! Keep making great videos.
Love to hear it dude!
Sheesh. I wanted to watch a minute or two for kicks, and stayed the whole journey. You entertained pal.
Absolute art, as a souls Bourne try hard this is just beautiful
Woooooooow what a fuckin achievement!!! You're a damn legend, in the truest sense of the word. This shit was the atuff of legends. Your story will be told for eons, your legacy solidified in time immemorial. That was so fucking cool dude! Congratulations on a truly monumental achievement!
I struggled with this game on "bring 'em on" difficulty! Holy hell this is impressive!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
That was amazing man! Your commentary was fantastic too. Fkn awesome!
I appreciate the kind words!
gratulations men. Well done!
Its called mein leben because the enemies in the old wolfenstein had that as their (only) death quote so every enemy you killed would say it and it was so funny
Loved seeing how locked in you were at 4:00-4:25. It's always nice to see someone so focused doing something they enjoy.
My whole body was on a swivel for that one lmao
There are about as many things I like about this game as I dislike about it, but you have my respect for pulling this off. Well done dude
Thank you dude! I appreciate the kind words
And all of that on a controller, too! Congrats, wish you the best of luck growing the channel!
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video
Well played bro ! First of your vidéo but great one !
Thank you, buddy!
Thanks for reminding me how awesome this game is
Happy to help 😂
Just discovered your channel and it’s incredible! Thanks man for the video. Already subscribed.
Welcome to the basement!
Dude, the way your aim improved during the gameplay, as the sweat, was awesome and hilarious!
Thank you for this video.
Thanks for watching, John!
That 3 HP escape bro, I was SCREAMING in my living room! Congrats dude!!
I could feel a heartbeat in my head when that happened. IT WAS NUTS!
This video was funny as hell and motivating too since im going for mein leben and have 2 fails at venus so far. You’re a funny dude definetly subbing.
Yo good luck on the runs homie! It's gunna be such a relief when you get it done
@@morgansbasementlets fucking GO man i just did it after 2 fails on venus and 5 past courthouse it feels so good to never have to play this again
Nuts you pulled an all nighter and then went to work for this lmao
Thank god for caffeine lmao
Marvellous work. You've more than earned it. Kudos!
Hail to the King baby!! GG !! Subbed for that one.
This game is tough.
