posion
Kk shiv lol _archermaster_8790
@@Vizkla I was calling you out on the misspelled title lol ("posion" instead of "poison")
Getting boss relic at the start is very good, depending on the character. Most of the boss relics are good in some way. I would think about upgrading card on watcher to get early eruption though.
Thanks rregid! I've been trying to upgrade unless I'm really low heath at campfires.
@@Vizkla yea, that's always good but the initial value of an upgrade over boss relic or rare relic is dependent on the character (basically if there are cards that are massively better when upgraded early)
Not the whitewashed male gaze Silent 😭😭
the *AI whitewashed male gaze silent. its even grosser.
Easy answer shiv envenom best of both worlds
Thanks for the pro tip nananakeson!
You forgot sadistic nature
What does that mean?@@enormousiserratic8276
It's a power card
Ah thanks I'll look into it!
I still go back to play SWG sometimes, also have PT on my PS4 still, just wish they hadn't of scrapped the game.
Nice commentary, good editing
Thanks Slipawy, appreciated the feedback!
Oh, so they're all just shitty MMOs? I can still play P.T. btw.
For fans of Star Wars Galaxies, you can play it for free with other players by googling 'SWG EMU'.
I'm still salty about galaxies, I remember playing it briefly at a friend's house but by the time I could afford to play it was axed
Most of of the online games I wanted to play as a kid got axed once I got older😭
You can play Star wars galaxies with other players for free. You just need to download the SWG client (its abandonware), then download SWG EMU client. All info on their websites. You can play either the old style (Pre-CU), or the ''modern'' 2004 version that is more like WoW.
I'm still bitter about City of Heroes Fen02879, I had just started getting into it when they shut it down.
I feel you DynamiteNunchucks, it's like they just vanished into thin air.
@ Club Penguin & Toon Town were the two I wanted to play. We didn’t have a lot of money when I was a kid and by the time I could afford it on my own. They were gone. lol Wish they’d bring some of these games back. Great video!
City of heros is basically DC online
Exactly RedSOLO, I've always thought that too!
the only things they have in common is that theyre mmos and both are focused on superheroes. city of heroes is VASTLY superior to DC universe online as far as mmorpgs go
Thank you Private Servers.
You can still play city of heroes. But i always check these lists because it hit me thr hardest and i gotta spread the good word...
yeah jacobplatania3715 i can imagine, it's always tough when something you love gets shut down.
did you use ai to make a script lol?
I got 3 minutes in and I’m tired of the pirate analogy’s
I'll add more in my next video just to spite people like you
great video, your channel has great potential
Thanks for the kind words! mustarduser91
Temple of Xian is a chill vacation. For Lara. Who is just ultimate escapism in her careless waste of her peak years to have some fun
The Wii-U was the only primary nintendo console I've never owned. They've always gone and done whatever they wanted. Sometimes it sticks, sometimes it flops. That's the risk you take being different. They've managed to pull off more hits than misses, but this was like getting 1 guy with 9 strikes, bad enough to become a hilarious meme.
Yeah accountfor1reason the Wii-U was a misstep, but it's not like they've never recovered from a flop before. I mean, the DS was a huge gamble, but it ended up being a massive hit.
@@Vizkla hi there... DS was a success to the point of 3DS and the New 3DS but why the Wii U? I mean nobody shouting for Wonder Red to in Smash Bros from the Wonderful 101 game exclusive to the Wii U... Wii U was a dangerous move it nearly sent Nintendo to do games for mobile phones only and this is coz of how things was for example Angry Birds on the Wii U was 50 bucks to download from Wii U eshop and Nintendolife reviewer gave the game 8/10 and Bayonetta was 25 bucks to download from Wii U eshop and still 8/10 makes me think why developers even care oh wait they didn't
@@accountfor1reason I brought every game released for the Wii U and it really wasn't hard to do coz I swapped a PS3 and Xbox360 with loads of good games for a Wii U console... I went out all out knowingly Nintendo going to need my help. Nintendo released 3,2,1 or 0 Nes games one day a week, a maximum of 3 cheap indie eshop fillers released once a week and a full priced game released once a month = 12 retail games released on game store shelves for my Wii U per year but the 3DS got better treatment since the Wii U was launched til the end of Wii U's life... I brought every game and I gave my honest review of every game I played on Miiverse and trust me I was not liked but I knew Nintendo needed to shape themselves... I gave Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U 5/10 srating the game is lacking in content and is overpriced compared yo the other exclusive racing games on the other consoles and I said I would like to see Nintendo All Stars All Stars Racing, what's wrong with racing as Link against Mario, Kirby, Chibi Robo and the rest of the crew and have every character to have their own unique stages for example Hyrule Track where there a wall to hit with a object to open a shortcut and Kirby rainbow road etc abd a Track Maker Mode where gamers play on other created stages and people say it won't work coz of AI bots but can't Nintendo think it would be a cool idea for online play... Smash Bros for the Wii U I gave 6/10 mainly coz the game is lacking in game modes compared to the two that came before... This is how Nintendo released the Nes games for the Wii U eshop to try and surprise me: world cup soccer started so Nintendo released Nes Soccer the same week... Wimbledon Tennis started so Nintendo released Nes Tennis the same week... Zen studios released a pack of pinball tables and Nintendo released Nes Pinball the same week... They released Snes Mario Kart the same week Mario Kart 8 was released and I think they still doing it to this very day with the retro games releases instead of just releasing em and getting on with it they drip feeding em
@@accountfor1reason 3DS HD will be compatible with DS, 3DS, New 3DS and Switch cartridges and the 3DS HD will have exclusive retail and 3DS HD eshop games and check this out, the 3DS HD will be able to connect to TV's and you going to absolutely love this announcement Miiverse and StreetPass/Spotpass is making a return
you use way too many "its like (insert example" terms like i cant go 1 minute without hearing it
No you’re wrong. It’s what makes this video great. Subbed
Hahaha thank you!
For Me It's What Happened To The Sega Genesis Mini used to have one a decade ago but It's gone also the games were hard but they were old anyways I liked PS3 better In my opinion but that's just me though
3,2,1 or 0 VC games released one day a week and a maximin of 3 edhop fillers released one day a week and a maximum of 12 retail games released once a year and ig went on til the end of Wii U's life... Sony scrapped the PSVITA to move on but Ninttndo did the opposite they supported the old n tired 3DS over the Wii U and every game on Wii U could of been on the 3DS... Nintendo as released games for the 3DS on the Wii U and the Nintendo Switch
Oh and you have to listen for players you can hear the footsteps. When youre fighting mobs they can hear that. As pyrobyoy ideally start fight with charged Q then use E to knocback when they get close to you. Invest in thunderclaps to slow them after knockback
Oh nice didn't think to use a thunder Clap like that I'll give it a try. I've been trying to run away when I get jumped and throw a stone wall and hasn't worked yet lol.
You gotta use your E to knock back other players. I would also really recommend statting with another class a beginner, pyro is high siill class. Fighter is good to start with but really any class that can use a shield will give you a lot better surviability until you get nore experience
Thanks yeah I'm pretty hell bent on making Pyro work lol gonna stick with it till I'm at my wits end... might be soon at the rate but I have tried the fighter and rouge in Mithril Order they are much easier 😅
Bro is joke a cokehead, plain and simple..
Bro is this a fuckin ai voice?
Hunker down ends burning
Omg thank you I keep forgetting that !
5:15 Damn bro my hair stood up when this song came on. I'm glad you're out here doing God's work talking about SSX.
Glad someone shares my passion for SSX!
@@Vizkla I was right there with you dude! When you were waxing poetic about SSX It was like you stole diary and read it out loud. Cheers!
SSX nostalgia is the best
I remember playing SSX Tricky for the first time on a PlayStation Underground demo disc. Good times, good times...
SSX Tricky was definitely one of the more unique games back then.
I loved SSX Tricky so much when I was a kid, that we got 2 cats and I got to name them both, I decided on Mac and Moby. Great video!
That's awesome, I had a friend who named their dog after a favorite video game character too
SSX3 introduced me to so many music artists I still listen to all these years later
You're not alone in that. I think these games and the tony Hawk games formed a whole generations music tastes.
Damn corpo scum. So. Sure, nostalgia plays a part. Could be anywhere from half a letter grade to being the majority of a person's consideration. (For me it's 10-25%) Can't really be helped. It's the same as every generation believing that music peaked for themselves and gone stagnant or downhill since then. However, I would suggest that in THIS PARTICULAR case, the early 2000s, technology is a major factor. Specifically, a leap in technology that expanded everything: the CD. The SNES was running on a cartridge storage capacity of about 16 megabytes. Of course, 1 meg was system files. I remember an article in which Nobuo Uematsu said he was composing early Final Fantasy music with a limit of just a few kilobytes on the NES. He had MAYBE 1 MB on the SNES? This is said to be part of the reason Squenix left for the Playstation, the CD form factor had a storage capacity of, what, 500 MB? And FF in particular was a multi-disk product, expanding his allowance. So instead of using synthesizers he could record from an actual studio. This is just one sample of how the CD ROM allowed gaming to grow not incrementally, but in great strides, all at once. The N64 did well for itself and proved more than capable of great gaming straight out of launch, but the Playstation was technologically capable of feats that it could not match at the time. I just do not think the N64 could've pulled off Resident Evil 1-3, Metal Gear Solid, Tekken 1-3 etc. That is my opinion on why turn of the century gaming is looked upon with more fondness than other generations. The gap was greater, magnifying the resulting afterimage. But also, screw EA and Ubisoft and Blizzard.
Screw EA, Ubisoft, and Blizzard, indeed. The way they've milked their franchises over the years is a testament to the power of brand recognition.
The answer, nostalgia
Dude really nice video! I can tell you put a lot of work and effort into it. I totally agree with you on nearly every aspect of your video. SSX Tricky was one of those games that really set the ground work for “fun factors” for gaming going forward. Plus soundtracks for games from that era were on a whole other level.
Totally agree, the 'fun factor' was a big part of what made those games so great. It's crazy how some games can still hold up today.
liked your vid. It is funny tho its a ssx retrospective disguised as a video essay lol.
Thank you! It's a labor of love, ssx retrospective or not lol
14:46 "Best equipment per class" doesn't matter if you have enough grenades. STEALTH GRENAAAAAADE.
Unironicly yeah Seems like acid grenades are BIS. The best defense is a good offense!
lads ijust saw ep 28 came out 2 weeks ago and no new eps since should I be scared?
Nope just life getting in the way a bit
All three of Adin's nerdy privileged friends could've even beat up one person, for God sakes these kids need to get out and ride their bikes and get off their computers and phones for a few days. Stop eating so much soy like Adin and his sissy crew. I like Adin (kind of) but his leeches totally take advantage of him and now they'll always be connected to Adin. Friends and friends of millionaires don't really get along unless he turns his friends into millionaires too. That's why they all have kick deals despite being charismatic or funny at all.
What in the ai is this
A new player going straight to Legendary mode? That is respectable
It's been really fun and eye opening lol
@@Vizkla i still did not finish this video, let me guess, you got very serious problems in the terror mission?
Higher vampires can be killed by burnig to dust and melted into glass whit powerfull magic
With extra steps I see BasiliscBaz
I have question, can higher vampires breed whit humans?
I haven't come across any mention of this, so my best guess is no, they can't breed with humans.
One should update their computer, I understand that it *may* break something but updates usually happens because they will fix something and not updating can make it easier for hackers to attack your computer, an example, a guy made a video where he run Windows XP and turned on a browser with WIFI. The next day, the computer where hacked multiple times from Russia. The reason for it is because there's a security vulnerabilities that hasn't been fixed, and will most likely not be fixed, as almost no one has XP any longer. The stuff that happened with Microsoft and the company that are working with them shouldn't have let this happen, but it did, and they will most likely be more strict with stuff from now on. This is also a rare accident and shouldn't be treated for why you should not update. For people that wants to make sure that this doesn't happen to their computer can just use Linux, as you have then more control over your system.
think the theme of this episode is balls XD
And what do you mean by that lol
@@Vizkla you said it enough times LOL XD, Ugh The Spider Cave= nope, jumping on the train to nopesvill !
Happy to see new players to Xcom, legendary without tutorial at the start can be rough 😅. Here is some info: Hunker down only last 1 turn, and yes it should increase behind full cover, however, you are the losing a action where you could have shot or been in overwatch (shooting when the enemy moves). I have almost never used hunker down, except for specific senerioes, as you want to make sure you kill the enemy before they kill you, as there are more of them then you. (Then again, I haven't played on legenday, and it may have saved you for some shots). For the bombs, everyone starts off with 1 bomb (can be changed later with other stuff,) and a specific class can have more then one. I haven't watched your 2nd video yet, but I hope this info helps (I'm also not sure when this was recorded)
Couple of things. 1) You can only use sniper rifle if not moved. After moving its pistol only. 2) You can break mindcontrol with flashbang. Make sure you have some with you. 3) Grenades are good in early game when your solders have not learned how to shoot because 100% damage output. 4) Sectoids are scary but still its better to focus on trooper because those will shoot and hurt you when sectoids waste their APs on raising zombies or mind control.. Killing Sectoid will kill the zombie also and end mind control. 5) always have some medikits with you. 6) be agressive (but smart) and go in close for the kill. From far back you will only miss your shots. 7) Aid protocol is useful when you have leaved your solder in suboptimal position. Those extra defence points can make aliens to miss their shots.
I love Xcom2. After finishing the basic game, you should get the "War of the chosen" DLC. It will make already great game even better.
