Well, don't forget that the technomancers aren't really all that powerful. I mean, you can easily beat them down with nothing more than a pipe in Mars: War Logs. It's a lot of smoke and mirrors, designed to make themselves seem more powerful than they really are.
I don't know what it is with the mars series you did. There are perfect to fall asleep to. most of your video are. Not because they're boring, but they are rather calm and have a ..calm melody. You don't know how thankful I am for your videos. I've sleep issues and this helps me so much Thank you, keep what you're doing :)

So Zach tells the Aurora doofs he needs their uniforms to convince Dandalo he did the job and that they're dead... then tells Dandalo he couldn't kill them but here's their uniforms. What...? That's the kind of derp logic I'd expect from a botched translation.
I really, REALLY like these Spyder Mars RPGs. Despite being very high-concept - full-on sci-fi fantasy wars on Mars - they still somehow manage to be very down-to-Earth. They're more like personal journeys as opposed to, say, Mass Effect and their 'do this or the Universe is destroyed' arcs. Heck, even the plentiful rough edges feel right with the setting. I really hope there's more.
@@PenguinDTI’d you didn’t do it already, play Bound By Flame. Just the weapon customization option alone (allows you to customize the damn hilt pommel and guard of every sword!) deserves praise… oh and then of course there’s Greedfall, which is like the apex of everything Spiders, and is just amazing.

shame you didn't like this game as much as I did, but you're very fair on it. I absolutely loved this game. I really like the setting and how you get more of a chance to explore it than in Mars War logs (I also love that game). And I really enjoyed how the ending walks through all the decisions you made and how they affected the post game world.
@@Tehsnakerer I know I'm in the minority for loving it, if I argued with everyone who disagreed with me, I'd be arguing all the bloody time, being understanding is practical :P
@@KrazyKainstill, sometimes people just cannot see beauty and effort even in front of their eyes. Like you, I really love The Technomancer, and personally I believe it’s extremely underrated (like the whole game studio itself) and gets a ton of undeserved bad rep. Saying that’s “bigger for the sake of being bigger” becomes very disingenuous as soon as one sees how Spiders improved on literally everything! For the combat is way better, with actual variety, tactics, entertaining combinations and very different styles of fighting; the item customization is really good and deep, the environments are way more varied and have unique, believable identities, and the ending is actually satisfactory as it ties together your decisions, showing the long term consequences of your actions without even sequel baiting (an exception in the shit ending modern gaming environment). And Greedfall, although different, is even better under basically every aspect.

God fucking dammit Snake I love your reviews, you are genuinely one of the more entertaining game reviewers on youtube and you deserved 100x more subs and views than you get.
19:20 This was funny, and I had to stop to comment here. My eye Dr.'s last name was SARGANT, but was pronounced like Sargent. I always wondered how his name would have played for him in the army, navy, or any other other service lol.
I know youre busy and these reviews take time, but i would love for you to atleast consider the Riddick games. Really seems like perfect games for your reviews. anyway, Great work, keep it up!
Karma in this game is mostly about how your companions see you. It has more or less been pushed to the side. There _are_ choices in this game that make an impact, but I think it is less visible without multiple playthroughs than they were for Mars: War Logs.
I do wonder if you still read comments on older videos. If so, then I just wanna say these videos are great relaxing night content. They're informative, tranquil and well put, keep up the good work!
I know it's been a long time, but I have to point out: in the Spiders's games the orbit of the planets in the solar system has been altered and Mars has moved closer to the Sun, it's part of the lore
Great video man you got my sub. Just finished this game, and the constant traveling back and forth from Ophir to Noctis is one of the worst gaming experiences I've ever had Holy shit it was such a chore to get anywhere in this game!
Happy to see that one cut-off joke. Good job. You have been doing those in every other review except the War Logs one. I do enjoy your honest reviews and the length of this video is really, really nice. Keep up the good work! :)
Cheers, I do plan on doing shorter (20-30 minute) reviews for a little bit as this one took a really long time in editing, but I will do longer reviews where a game needs it
I bet it was a joy to edit all this! :D Oh, sure, mate. I enjoy videos longer than 15 minutes as I tend to work while listening to them. But, yes, keep it at the length needed. I also tend to dislike intros and outros. Well, mostly because of the music the majority of the people I am subscribed to seem to use. And yeah, I like the kind of music you probably don't, hahaha! But really, I enjoy your videos. The more cynical you are, the more it cheers me up. I am normal. Right?
Great to see you post this. I have recently found your videos and have been watching them all. You should have more subscribers than you do. I have enjoyed this one and all the others massively and I appreciate all the hard work you put into them.
I'm impressed; usually the older stuff is marginally worse than the current content on YT channels, but while I do see little refinements, these videos are consistently good across the board.
16:53 LMAO that electro-slap I think you're on to something regarding that name and profession correlation for, say, my surname could be roughly translated as Baker and I'm on welfare, which makes me a loafer, lol. Regarding the game: they could've easily fixed that jogging problem by giving you some speed boosting power like in Kotor. Didn't even have to shrink these maps. So, them devs are either clueless or scummy. But what can you do, these rough around the edges games are made by rough around the edges people.
Historically those names actually come from the jobs that families traditionally had since children tended to apprentice and learn the job of their parents. At one point last names were rarely needed except for high class people because people didn't travel far enough for names to heavily overlap enough to need the differentiation. So Tom the Baker became Tom Baker as populations got harder and last names became needed.
i think it's better to just have the maps be smaller, i'll generally buy into boosting my speed and agility if i can but i don't wanna have to do that just to get to a shop and isn't fair for people who wanna spend points or money on stuff like attack power or health upgrades
Ah yes, Alan is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal it sounds like. the voice of angsty and/or rival characters everywhere. Channeling his performance as Luke Fon Fabre/ Asch the Bloody from Tales of the Abyss.
I definitely enjoyed this game a lot more than you did, but your critiques are very fair and well-reasoned. I respect that a lot more than reviewers like IGN, who simply had no idea what they were talking about. I really hope Spiders keeps making games in this setting. They scratch an itch I didn't know I had.
Good video although the only problem I had was the captions you add disappear to fast to read without pausing the video. But other than that great video keep up the good work!
Personally I like this game to no end. Literally everything is massively improved from M:WL, from the skills, to the weapons, the combat system (way less janky), the setting, story, lore, and even the satisfying non-sequelbaity game ending. I really wish that there were more companies like Spiders and more titles like The Technomancer, Bound By Flame and Greedfall, because the industry is STARVING for these kind of ideas.
Why is the guy at 27:06 using a sci-fi box fan for a shield? I get that it looks like it's heavy-duty and it maybe came off of a mech or a tank or something, but that fan is still a glaring structural weakness if the whole point of using it as a shield is to block fast and/or heavy things. I dunno, maybe it confers Sun Immunity. Also holy shit, this video's been out for six years; I'm fairly confident it's one of the very first tehsnakerer videos I've seen.
I enjoyed both -- the world building is great -- but Mars War Logs is slightly better due to story focus. But, I'll definitely play through Technomancer again one day... even with the backtracking and knowing the ending.
There's a goddamn glitch in this game to do with the health injections. Sometimes, seemingly with no regularity, you will use more than one health injection. And by more than one, I mean every one you own. I have had 30 health injections stacked up before, used one, then gone down immediately to 0
God i love watching these reviews, your content is so high level! Also your jokes are non-cringy and legit funny. Like the one about names, jobs and disappointing your parents. Please keep making reviews! I will watch through a hundred adds to watch your stuff :')
thing i hated most is towards the end of the game when your still doing quests but you have to go through multiple areas and the enemies just keep spawning when im pretty sure i was max level and had nothing to gain by fighting extra enemies. just really highlighted how little foresight they had when creating areas and traversal... idk, lots of thing in this games execution were off, however i liked the games world and really thought it was intriguing and i plan on playing through it again sometime soon.
hunter is a not-uncommon first name in the USA right now and i alternate between feeling bad for ppl named hunter and feeling annoyed by them bc of being as annoying as portrayed here
Excellent video as per. I'm wondering if the character Captain Eliza Major is a reference to the book Catch-22 and the character Major Major (full name, Major Major Major Major) who was named as such by his father as a joke and then gets promoted basically because of this. Either way, worth a read but I wonder if I'm giving the writers of Technomancer too much credit for this? Also I'm not sure if other commenters have mentioned but Captain is usually the rank below Major not above it.
Tehsnakerer, I love when somebody gives Spiders' games a decent review and it's great stuff. But I do have one question - why do you hate contrast so much ?
Have you appeared on Off The Shelf reviews? You sound like Jess. Nice video, this is a bizarre game but I like it, it's more nonsensical than most. So many missed opportunities in terms of plot and mechanics, the smallest specks if something meaningful and for it's unique identity alone, it's more memorable than some AAA games IMO. Due hamfisted execution, I took all of the evil options 🤣 That doctor/Scientist guy is just odd but I like him for that.
I can't get over how uncomfortable all the clothes look in this game. Maybe I'm missing something about the skin beanie with no eyeholes but even if you *can* somehow see out of it, you can't tell me it doesn't feel like your head is being suckled by a pog. Cause that's how it looks.
If you like Spiders games try out bound by flame. It is the only spiders game I have played (as far as I am aware) and I am not hating it so far. I am pretty early in the game thought. The combat is very clunky and I suggest to play on the lowest difficulty to make the combat more bearable. And they do have the stance system again, but not as refined. The story isn't anything to write home about. But if you wanna see a schlocky version of the fight against the night king in game of thrones with demon possesion instead of dragons, this game got you covered. And I kinda like the schlock.
Game seems confused as what it wants to be. As you said about War Logs, it should have just gone full in Arkham combat with upgrade trees and story choices like Arkham.
Shaun in the first game clearly isn't the Shaun in the second. First one is younger, his head implants are different, and he's a douche. Second one is older, wiser, and he's a mentor who guides his neophyte and gives him a moral compass to follow. And... There actually is a news log about POW camp escape during the game, so Shaun wasnt running the camp this whole time. Just accept that there's two guys named Shaun.
you know, at this point, I guess The mars, xenus series and some couple others video have 50 views from me alone.. or more.. If I had money, I would give you some X_x I guess one of my first things I do when I have more income
Is is just me or did the character models and some of the visuals take a major down grade from it's predecessor? The only reason I knew "Mars" existed was a few of the cut scenes started making the rounds on youtube and they looked great...
I really hate the small window you put text on screen for. It takes forever to pause at the fraction of a second needed to see the damn things. "I should die in about one second but I won't"(sic) at 46:08 took several tries.
@@YouSoSpice If it had said something like, "This text was too fast for you", that'd be a joke, but the comment was unrelated to how horribly difficult it is to stop the video in the correct frame to see it.

Nice review you got on your channel :) Got chance Soldiers:Heroes of world war II? If you not have this game you can purchase on GOG.com or find Phsical(Boxed) version on Ebay but i recomend GOG variant becaue he is already patched maybe cheaper too. If you after this game still got not enough :D go check sequels Face of war and Men of war(With expasion packs) Soldiers:Heroes of World war II olso had Expasion packs but they are hard to get because only released on Russia.
When i played this game i went melee staff technomancer, and i always had Lucky in my party and usually phobos like you , unlike you i prefered this game over Mars war logs
Who really cares if the Technomancers are mutants, they have lightning powers. what are the regular people gonna do.
Skalty i was thinking this too!! They could just electrocute their way out of the slums lol
Skalty if you've played then you know the answer is shoot them, i constantly get bullshit killed halfway through an electric arc
People of Mars are such dimwits that MAN SHOOTING LIGHTNING FROM HIS HAND is probably a natural occurrence for them.

So I’ve never even heard of this game but it seems interesting as all get out
Playing Technomancer after War Logs is weird. It feels like a prequel soft reboot (especially with the character of Sean)
This Combat reminds me of Bloodborne (Especially Knife/Gun). Speedy Hit and Runs, use of Guns, etc.
Hehe "mealy"... I am running out of your videos though, I'm loving the content! I feel there are a few ps3 games you would "like".
THe combat animations look really satifying how you make people stumble and fall down n shit.
Have you appeared on Off The Shelf reviews? You sound like Jess. Nice video, this is a bizarre game but I like it, it's more nonsensical than most. So many missed opportunities in terms of plot and mechanics, the smallest specks if something meaningful and for it's unique identity alone, it's more memorable than some AAA games IMO. Due hamfisted execution, I took all of the evil options 🤣 That doctor/Scientist guy is just odd but I like him for that.
Is there a Mike Hunt?
I can't get over how uncomfortable all the clothes look in this game. Maybe I'm missing something about the skin beanie with no eyeholes but even if you *can* somehow see out of it, you can't tell me it doesn't feel like your head is being suckled by a pog. Cause that's how it looks.
If you like Spiders games try out bound by flame. It is the only spiders game I have played (as far as I am aware) and I am not hating it so far. I am pretty early in the game thought. The combat is very clunky and I suggest to play on the lowest difficulty to make the combat more bearable. And they do have the stance system again, but not as refined. The story isn't anything to write home about. But if you wanna see a schlocky version of the fight against the night king in game of thrones with demon possesion instead of dragons, this game got you covered. And I kinda like the schlock.
Good videos, I keep coming back. Your overlaying audio with in game and your commentary can be quite confusing.
two last names, both having to do with the sea. is it .. Seaman Fisher? Alan Seaman Fisher? :o)
8:54 well now that looks interesting! Are we going to get a playing Ishin some day?
I love Dontae
I love you too lmaoooo
@@thatonedreamsomeonecrushed1912 it’s so weird getting a TH-cam notification , I feel special lol
@@doodlebobfan lol wait really, how often do you leave comments
@@thatonedreamsomeonecrushed1912 rarely lol , I usually just like the video
@@doodlebobfan i think the most amount of likes I've gotten was 3 k
Wonder they had not named the game MARS. WAR LOGS. Part II
Lmao that Ishin reference -I got good news for you buddy!
Jesus, Kip, you destroyed that poor idiot. Well done
"As for cunts, they are named Alan." Loved that.
Are you going to do a video on Greedfall
Maybe
Idk, so far this looks like the much better game.
Ah, so THIS is what happened to Cole McGrath after Infamous 2
Voice acting seems much better here than Mars
You're right. Say 'Water War with Aurora' 5 times fast.
how can people compare spider games to mass effect ? have you people ever played gothic ?
lol at 33:00 they put lights behind a fan, but dont understand why OTHER games do it, and dont bake in shadows of spinning fan blades...
Game seems confused as what it wants to be. As you said about War Logs, it should have just gone full in Arkham combat with upgrade trees and story choices like Arkham.
Shaun in the first game clearly isn't the Shaun in the second. First one is younger, his head implants are different, and he's a douche. Second one is older, wiser, and he's a mentor who guides his neophyte and gives him a moral compass to follow. And... There actually is a news log about POW camp escape during the game, so Shaun wasnt running the camp this whole time.
Just accept that there's two guys named Shaun.
it's Sean, with "ea" but w/e
I take it he never got that Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin
you know, at this point, I guess The mars, xenus series and some couple others video have 50 views from me alone.. or more..
If I had money, I would give you some X_x I guess one of my first things I do when I have more income
19:42 I’m gonna guess your last names are fisher-ocean, the only sea names I know
Nice to see a new video.
Too bad MGS 4 isnt enough of a RPG to count for that One Armed - become Cyborg Trope
Am I the only one who played Of orcs and men? Well only really a little part of it. My ps3 broke down. :(
Is is just me or did the character models and some of the visuals take a major down grade from it's predecessor?
The only reason I knew "Mars" existed was a few of the cut scenes started making the rounds on youtube and they looked great...
At 27:51 is the guy on the right missing his left arm?
nevermind he is missing his arm I missed that
I really hate the small window you put text on screen for. It takes forever to pause at the fraction of a second needed to see the damn things. "I should die in about one second but I won't"(sic) at 46:08 took several tries.
almost as if these're meant as a joke right joey
@@YouSoSpice If it had said something like, "This text was too fast for you", that'd be a joke, but the comment was unrelated to how horribly difficult it is to stop the video in the correct frame to see it.
@@348joey If you're watching the video on PC, you can advance videos frame by frame by pushing , or . to go backward 1 frame or forward 1 frame respectively.
@@HyperShadic0 You have just VASTLY improved my video-watching experience. My thanks to you!
Incredibly Small note but Captain is 1 rank lower than major
this is 4 bucks on psn and like 6 or 7 on steam rn. may be worth trying it. mars war logs is 3 dollars (steam) though...
6:30 They spelt Sisyphus wrong lmao
It's just an alternative spelling. Either is fine.
52:41 dude looks like markiplier
That was fast! o_o Yay!
I really liked Bound by Flame.. it felt like a foreign B-movie adaptation of a book nobody ever read
That’s an incredible description. Can I use that?
Nice review you got on your channel :)
Got chance Soldiers:Heroes of world war II?
If you not have this game you can purchase on GOG.com or find Phsical(Boxed) version on Ebay but i recomend GOG variant becaue he is already patched maybe cheaper too.
If you after this game still got not enough :D go check sequels Face of war and Men of war(With expasion packs)
Soldiers:Heroes of World war II olso had Expasion packs but they are hard to get because only released on Russia.
I'm a bit late but they misspelled "to" in the subtitles at 40:41
When i played this game i went melee staff technomancer, and i always had Lucky in my party and usually phobos like you , unlike you i prefered this game over Mars war logs
