#Fanfin #ep2 #EndlessOceanLuminous - Игры
Hearing them talk so nostalgically about their time on Nine Ball Island just makes me wish they’d go back there. Grumps, nothing is stopping you from going back to it! Please consider picking that series back up. I think we’d all have a way better time!
Yes! I agree, you should totally come back to endless ocean 2
Nothing stopping them but the algorithm
I guess it’s because it’s multiplayer focussed, but this “sequel” is weirdly built like a mobile spinoff. 500 Fish is so insane that I actually expected to see a cash shop in the memoirs near the end.
@@GooTheMighty You think 500 is insane? You eventually have to scan a total of 10,000 and complete the mystery board to unlock the last chapter. It is ridiculous.
I'm begging for the Grumps to go back and finish the main story of Endless Ocean 2.
18:00 Dan enthusiastically spouting facts about how Coelecanths are still alive today (they are) and then immediately resigned and disappointedly, “this is a dinosaur…” when the Nothosaurus shows up. XD
He was trying so hard to keep this game feeling realistic and possible and then....
Remember when these games made the super-secret maybe-extinct animals.. special? mysterious? Requiring special tips and accomplishments to find?
naw let's just throw them into randomly generated ocean chunks.
It still takes effort (and luck) to find the UML and rarer UML fish. They just made the legendary fish from the first two rare category instead because of the nature of the setting.
Nothosaurus isn't even a dinosaur
@@bobsmith8405 look can we all just agree that the point of the word "dinosaur" was to categorize "all these big weird reptiles we keep a-diggin' up"
and whoever decided it means a SPECIFIC SUBSET of archosaurs was a big jerk and ruined everything
Daniel has one ball. Daniel is The Cyclops of Nine Ball Island. It's all coming full circle.
THE LOOOOOORE
It took 8 years… but we’ve finally figured it out
...thanks for bringing that up 😂
"there's four dudes here and one dude who had a MAJOR accident"
Daniel - I used to have two , Miss it .Why do you think I'm so shy around coelacanths .
@@iwannahavearockstar2994 thanks for bringing it up
You know what else is different? My life after my son Matthais died. THANKS FOR BRINGING IT UP!
I killed him, you're welcome. He wasn't yours to begin with.
Don't worry Grandpa, you still got me, and the pendent dad gave me that I dropped in deep hole again... oh wait, whoops
Thanks for the reminder!!!
@@jbmp1390
About my dead son-
DAMMIT!
I'll give you a pass this one time me
obviously it’s up to them but i think they should finish endless ocean 2, it just has so much more character and charm and was just so funny to watch them play through
im sure the save file is long gone by now
@@Jawf94 Even if it is, they genuinely didn't get that far into it. They could easily get back to where they were off camera or even during a livestream or something.
Right?? There's so much more content too, and so many more things they could have fun with and joke around about. Luminous was a disappointment :(
The fact that the grumps can take a game so beige and dull and make it so much more with a few childish jokes astounds me every time.
Imagine playing this game alone
@@Tizzer169the horror
color blinded spotted
@@Tizzer169I couldn't I wouldn't last a single minute
@@Tizzer169I really like it actually. But I really love the ocean, so I treat it as Pokémon snap but with fish, basically. I can see why people don’t like it though
The devs clearly didnt watch game grumps play endless ocean 2, because they would have brought back jean eric louvie and peewee deedee for another batch of hilarious. I give this a 7 episode season and they move on
Edit: the reason i say 7 is because normally when they do recording sessions, its a 7 episode stretch of videos unless the game is shorter than 7 episodes. i understand like Endless ocean 2 came out in.... 2009!? geez.... but they still could have watched their videos or their kids brought it to the games devs and said "make jean eric come back!" regardless the entire thing behind 7 episodes is because thats their normal recording session numbers.
I think another crabs treasure would be way better
Idek about 7 episodes. Not like there’s much to do. Super disappointing since I loved the originals as a kid.
@@mistsprenExactly, I was thinking they'll prob stop after 2 or 3.
Would be super awesome if they just go back to Endless Ocean 2 for a spell to finish the recording session, though!
@@mistspren it's not giving them much to work with, which is odd considering how bananas the other games were at times. 😂
Peewee Deedee 🤣
Fun fact: zebra shark babies have stripes! They fade and spot over time in adults, which is why scientists originally thought they were two different species!
I learned this from the description in the game after I made fun of a spotted shark being called a zebra shark 😅
Neat!
It's sad this game doesn't hold the same magic as the others did but the grumps make it enjoyable all the same!
Yeah they removed every little bit that made the other one funny
Luminous definitely has its own charms and does some neat stuff. It's a great game to just play with something on in the background. But yeah, it just lacks so much of what made the earlier games great and definitely doesn't lend itself as well to a Game Grumps style Let's Play
3:49 That is the most "we wanted to have an in-universe explanation for a game mechanic that most people would easily have assumed was something only visible to the player if none of the characters had brought it up" explanation I think I've ever heard.
Unreal Tournament 3 attempted to provide an in-universe explanation for why our teams of re-spawning super soldiers were playing capture the flag. In my experience that was the first... but damn if this isn't really close
reminds me of Body Harvest, which gave scifi explanations for your infinite handgun ammo (your backpack collects dust from the air and compresses it into bullets for you) or even pausing while you receive messages from HQ (your suit injects you with a drug that speeds up reaction time)
Daniel: check out that large sunfish specimen
Arin: that one over there?
Daniel: (loads spear gun) yeah that one just keep looking at it
Of Mice and Grumps
@@mega_bird700 funniest image holy fuck
"oh remember that cute game with the strange old man, his quirky granddaughter going on an adventure, researching a castle underwater? FUCK ALL THAT AND LET'S MAKE IT BORING AF!"
Actually, it was scary too. My heart dropped 3-4 times. I can't believe Dan never felt uncomfortable. Swimming in the dark cave or when it was nothing but the Endless Ocean™ and a fish slowly appeared.
Best part about this game is that it makes Endless Ocean 2 look better. This series needs more soda and OJ.
5:30
Dan: The coelaecanth has returned from coachella!
Me, out loud: Coachellacanth? Coachaelacanth?
(6 seconds of silence pass, where I wonder if either of them is going to make the joke)
Arin: I would be excited, but i'm a robot. i don't have feelings.
Dan: it's back from Coachaelacanth!
Me: there we go.
3:50(ish) - they tried to game-explain the "indication light" that unscanned fish have ('luminous bacteria that are repelled by the electromagnetic scanners')...
all they had to say was "if a fish is Shiny, that means you havent Scanned it yet!"
...but then again, all they had to do was make an Endless Ocean game that was like the OTHER Endless Ocean games, yet apparently THAT was too hard, as well...no wonder Matthias is never coming back-- he's dead, just like this series of games, thanks for reminding me...
why must everything we love be destroyed
do they not care that a good game would have made more money than a bad one? they're supposed to care about money.
and then casually place a Nothoaurus swimming in the ocean for you to just scan, and there is no special attention paid to this extinct fucking species of DINOSAUR
@@KairuHakubi sometimes, Demand outweighs Supply when it comes to quality, and Deadlines only push subpar products out faster...the same thing happens everywhere-- TV shows stop being funny, music loses that impact, movies get bland and repetitive...
...but too many people want the Source (show/band/etc) to catch that 'lightning in a bottle' that a First Entry captured, that no source can resist trying to...and sometimes, youll have a band that merely 'refines' their sound with each album, or a tv show will hire a new writer after a 7th-season slump, and some New Life will catch the breeze for its fleeting moment...but eventually, the well of ideas runs dry, and in the end, the Expectation weve collectively set for ourselves is just too high to ever be met...
Ooooh that's what they meant
Fish Midichlorians was not something I was expecting from a new Endless Ocean game.
"That's a whole clip of bullet tuna" is the 10/10 fish joke content I came here for
crazy how they completely sucked the joy of exploring the ocean out of this game compared to the previous ones
This isnt endless ocean anymore, its endless scanning simulator
I love how Dan's desperately like "Wait, don't waste any time on what you're doing, make sure it counts"
That's a sign of a super satisfying game, right?
God, it's FISH PETTING SIMULATOR. how can you remove the fish petting? why is there even a diver if you're just gonna scan everything.
I would adore if they went back to endless ocean 2
At first I thought “maybe they’re freaking out over scanning 500 things, confusing a side goal/achievement with the main game” then I saw THE NEXT CHAPTER IS LOCKED UNTIL YOU SCAN 500 THINGS.
Wow, what garbage. How did they decide to bring a decade-old series back from the dead, only to make it the most aggressively cheap and padded thing possible?
Edit: okay…so free dive counts toward the goal, and schools of the same fish count individual fish…that’s not as bad? Still pretty bad…
Nope, each fish counts individually. And it doesn't matter if it's a species that you've scanned previously.
@@LeonReal77 yeah I edited my comment when I saw that. It’s better than 500 individual scans, but it’s still pretty tedious. Also really strange to block story progression behind this kind of busywork.
To quote Mr. Krabs "Money"
@@Koyol Specifically, "I like money!"
It's so weird to me that it doesn't scale at all. Like a different game would have you start by scanning five, then ten, then twenty, then fifty and so on the further you get into the game so you're introduced to the mechanics and get invested in the plot simultaneously (or, y'know just have the story unlock when you're done with the previous part). But for some reason the devs go all in on 500, which as the episode demonstrates is like an hour plus level of effort for a 5 minutes of cutscene.
Sunfish are surprisingly massive.
Photos don't do them justice (and early Animal Crossing games made them look smaller than some actual small fish).
They might mean freshwater sunfish, which are small
They're the heaviest bony fish for a reason
ALRIGHT HERE GOES IT! Ive played through most of the game so far and here's my review and tips. I feel like I'm extra qualified since I've played both previous endless ocean games which literally inspired me to become a marine biologist which I am in my last year of schooling for. If I'm being honest, this game is not great...its boring without much plot. I feel like I'm one of the very few people who find it fun but thats purely because I enjoy seeing how they render the fish, and because I try to identify the fish myself. This game is all over the place but not in the fun goofy way of they other 2. They have freshwater fish in the ocean? Extinct fish and literal dinosaurs just roaming around, I've found coelacanth just chilling in shallow reefs. This game tries to be educational often presents weird plot as fact. They try to make it "realistic" by coming up with b.s scientific SOUNDING explanations. I could go on and on. This game is great to just chill out to, I like playing it at night while watching other stuff or listening to music. Its definitely not worth $50. Also story mode is not fun...
Actual tips and tricks!
If you need to scan more fish to unlock chapters, go on a solo dive and try to find a reef, go to the corals because they will have a bunch of little schools. Also finding large schools which tend to hang out closer to the surface is good too. Ignore the weird sidequests like the anomalies or disk puzzles, they're annoying and half the time don't work. Also when scanning, hold down the button and look all around, that scans more. You can also hit the b button before the meter fills up so you dont have to go into the individual fish camera. You also don't have to go down the list of each individual fish to make it count towards the fish goal. Hopefully this is helpful? Overall, if you are really wanting a chill somewhat educational experience you may enjoy the game, specifically the solo dives. Take all the educational content with a grain of salt tho because they do not make it clear if the fish is actually freshwater, extinct, or straight up a mythical creature. I will say the designers and artists outdid themselves the game is absolutely beautiful! Its very clearly a Japanese developed game as a lot of the fish are found there along with the salvage. I enjoyed that part since I’m Japanese and grew up seeing a lot of these fish.
If you are a Japanese marine biologist who just wants to chill, you'll probably enjoy the game? But I wouldn't really recommend it. Just replay the originals. Its sucks its so bland. I was literally counting down the days until its release and it is a definite disappointment. Thanks to anyone who made it to the end through all my yapping! Love you
Bad news about ignoring anomalies and disk puzzles: You need to do every single one of those to unlock the final chapter.
@@bognosticator they just said the story mode is boring 🤔
@@1WEareBUFO1 I'd have to agree. But also I doubt they'd even see my comment. It's mostly info for other people playing the game.
I had a feeling that it was going to be this way when I saw the trailer for the game. I was reserved about the whole thing and yet I'm still disappointed.
My dead son Matthias was a huge fun of the Hartford Whalers...THANKS FOR BRINGING IT UP
500 SCANS JUST TO UNLOCK CHAPTER 2?! WERE THE DEVELOPERS OF THIS GAME HIGH?!
No they were Deep.
You have to do that after every chapter after that too. With bigger numbers. And to unlock the last chapter, you need to scan a total of 10,000 fish AND complete the mystery board. It's ridiculous.
The AI saying 'Daniel must be feeling competitive' gave me a horrible flash forward to a dystopian future where you'll have an AI assistant that reads other peoples' facial expressions and body language to tell you how they feel.
Sunfish: Okay, here's my plan for evolution. I'm going to take the entire half of my body that controls propulsion in this three-dimensional environment, and I'm going to cut it off as if I've barely survived an industrial workplace accident.
I really hope they finish Endless Ocean 2 instead of playing this. I miss it.
THEY LOCK THE GAME BEHIND 500 SCANS, AFTER HALF AN HOUR?! this game is Matthias to me...
And all the chapters do that with bigger numbers too. To unlock the last chapter, you'll have to scan a total of 10,000 fish AND complete the mystery board.
To complete the story you have to scan 10,000 fish and complete all 99 mysteries on the board
"Isn't this giant prehistoric fish cool? Go scan 500 regular fish 😐"
me, a shark enthusiast, screaming "BLACK TIP REEF SHARK!!! BLACK TIP REEF SHAAAARK!!!!!"
Seeing that ghostshark was nice. A pretty new fish discovery, I think, and it was cool to see. I know this game is... rather empty, compared to the others, but at least the sealife is pretty great.
me, also a shark enthusiast: THRESHER SHARK THRESHER SHARK THRESHER SHARK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
@@Levyathyn I looked it up and according to wikipedia, they're listed as LC (Least Concern) so not rare by any means, they're farmed commercially, and were discovered in 2018. This is wild to me.
This game: "Here's an ocean full of fish!"
Also this game: "DINOSAURS!!"
8:14 So, Daniel was the odd man out on 9-Ball Island?
💧Hush, lay down your troubled mind 💧
🌅The day has vanished and left us behind🌅
🌬And the wind, whispering soft lullabies 🌬
🌊Will soothe, so close your weary eyes🌊
Keeping my fingers crossed that they decide to revisit Endless Ocean 2 after this cause it’s a much superior game and they have yet to see the crazy stuff that happens there
I want to know the dev experience on this game, cause it feels like a lot of compromises were made or none of the original team worked on this new one. That said, very pretty fish models 🐟
But you can't even pet them!!!
@@1WEareBUFO1 *pets the dogfish anyway because I will not let something so silly as "gameplay limitations" get in the way of my goals*
NGL now that they're just scanning fish, I'm more into it. I'd love to watch y'all scan more fish to get to the next story!
In order to get to the last chapter of the game, you'll have to scan a total of 10,000 fish, and unlock every mystery on the mystery board. It may be fun to watch them joke about the game, but it's not worth it to put that much effort in.
@@shwahgamerholy shit dude....
I would honestly watch them do solo dive mode and just swim around the ocean, scanning fish and talking about god knows what. Very "powerwash simulator" level of relaxing
I thought the pixelation was done by the editors, since it happened immediately after Dan asked if they could show that fish on RUclips.
Endless Ocean Luminous is the best commercial for highlighting how awesome Blue World is
Incredible work from the devs to take such a rich source material and make a game that is a completely horrible soulless grind. It's borderline impressive how bad they've made this.
"I'll send those to the editor. We can put those up on the screen." And then the editor never did. Ok, whatever, I guess. There's nothing inherently wrong with just straight edits with no extra bits, but I kind of miss the fun, old edits that early GG had. Just once in a while would be fun. "Barry! Put a picture of Burgie sliding slowly across the screen!"
barry! put the entire history of the war of 1812!
@@mirziyob and then they continue to add things to the request lol
supermega's amazing at this
@@bingonight1504 agreed!
Pull up wolf job
Episode isn’t loading but I swear if Arin starts with “LETS GOOOOO” and Dan starts talking about the Hartford Whalers I’m gonna lose it😤😤😤😤
I got sour news for ya, pal…. 🫤
Dont be shocked with what I'm about to tell you... 😂
Wow, I love magic. Predict the end, too!
Ooooh, you might want to skip this one then
I have some bad news for ya....

I love how there’s no voice acting besides that TikTok ai voice. I’m sure that won’t get annoying.

15:44 Endless Ocean: Plop Me Back in Middle of the Ocean, Motherfuckers!
Endless Ocean battle-royale?? I'd buy that game.
_"Where we ploppin', Daniel??"_
Don't worry, Dan. I laughed at the Lawnmower Fish! I got your back
So Daniel is the “dude who had a MAJOR incident” on Nineball Island! It all makes sense now!
CASE CLOSED!
Despite it not living up to the previous game, there will always be something special sbout game grumps in the endless oceans
8:04 Seems we finally learned the lore on who the 5th guy in Nine Ball Island was!
Love it when they say "We'll send ____ to the editor, they can put it up on the screen." and nothing appears on the screen.
One of the logos was put up on screen though 🤔
They'll wait until the accolades trailer, and nintendo will put all the Dan's comments on their screen.
The logos were put up tho
They do a good job injecting any amount of personality into these only 2 characters lmao
I feel like the solution is to just go back and finish Endless Ocean 2
With how underwhelmed the guys were by the game, I hope they go back and finish Endless Ocean 2 after this, that'd be so fun!
I hope that because this new one is so much less plot-heavy than the old game that this will push them to finish playing through Blue World. It was one of my favorite childhood games and I want to see their reactions to the end!
DANIEL IS THE CYCLOPS
8:15 really come full circle with the missing testicle jokes since 9-ball island guys 😂
They really dropped oil into the endless ocean with some of those game design choices
Man i cant describe the feelings i felt when i saw the grumps were going to be doing a new endless ocean series after all this time.
And now after watching the first to episodes... well i dont think i can describe these feelings either...
This endless ocean would benefit from having more soda and OJ in it.
When they looked at the whale tail in the beginning and talked about what they saw in it, I also see the helmet of Griffith 😂
Arin- What the heck?! I scanned like 50 fish that last time.
Gimli- That still only counts as 1.
Dan mentioning the Hartford Whales took me back to the mario maker episode where Arin said he'd let carvel bukkake him.
25:08 what in the subnautica
Also every time they're scanning something that isn't a fish, all I can hear is "THIS NO FISH"
CODEX PLZ
It may not be the most entertaining game to work with, compared to the previous Endless Ocean, but it's kinda great that the NPC companion is named friggin DANIEL
This game feels like an AI looked at the other games in the series and spat this out.
Also,one review says "...instead of feeling like a big ecosystem, it feels like a big underwater bus stop." Nothing to do with it being AI but it made me laugh.
1. Dan has absolutely brought up the Hartford Whalers logo before, he's even worn a shirt with it on it in Power Hour 😂
2. I NEEEEEEEEEEEEED them to play Abzu in its entirety now please!!!
Dan: “Operator, operator”
DDR: “Please hook me up to my lover at the end of the line.”
i would love to see you guys play another crab's treasure!! arin would love the gameplay and dan would adore the visuals♥️♥️
Just in time for lunch
Playing a game about fish and Arin doesn't _once_ do the Hell's Kitchen "fiiiish" impression... Especially when they found John Dory.
I knew John dory was familiar for some reason!!
8:14 Daniel is the one guy who had a major accident on 9 ball island. He is the Cyclopes confirmed
I loved playing as the Hartford Whalers on the SNES NHL game (Stanley Cup I think?)!
I’d be down for them to go back to Endless Ocean: Blue World, I know there’s plenty more for them left to do there
Dan, you almost made me drop a case of liquor with the Lawnmower Man reference. It was so stupid, but for some reason I found it so funny.
Game Grumps can make anything funny
It really is so depressing that the developing company made this series so soulless with the most tone-deaf and oblivious thing they could've done: making it an AI guide with an AI generated voice. Props to Arin and Dan for being such good sports about it.
I feel like a return of Endless Ocean 2 is in order as a pallette cleanser
As a 30 year old who was there for the OG Endless Ocean series, this is just sad.
I propose we strike it from the cannon and revisit the first 2 games.
one n
I feel like kids that have the ocean/fish hyperfixation would absolutely love this game
The button mashing to skip cutscenes is very relatable
Ya'll should check out Jumpstart 5th Grade! Great voice actors, cut scenes, and mini games. Also, a skateboarding fifth grader saving the city. Cheers!
I'd definitely love to see more of this. Love the calm vibes and stuff.
"Hey, where are the white women at?"
Not Arin making a
Blazing Saddles reference😂 10:20
OMG, i thought it was cuz 488 is so very close to 1488, i was like, no duckin way he just said that
I remember playing Blue World as a kid and the shark parts always scared me but then I watched you guys play it and it was absolutely hilarious, which led to me getting over myself and finishing the game (which had an awesome ending btw)
As someone who loves humongous gentle animals, someone needs to show Dan just how big sunfish get, if that one caught him off guard. The one in the game looked half the size of the ones I've seen pictures of.
Daniel is my favorite part of this game so far I like his silly poses
I liked the one where they scanned fish for a loooong time 😂
Also 20:52 happy to say that at least I got the lawnmower man reference Dan
Just Daniel and Arin, swimming around in the ocean.
23:45 Arin immediately thinking of Skyward Sword's cubes to make new Sky Islands proves he loves that game the most!
Yes, Arin, Danny has absolutely mentioned the Hartford Whale thing before.
If you guys aren’t gonna finish the endless ocean, could u from ish endless ocean 2? It’s such a good series and it has so much fun characters, I love that game
Oh my gosh they have to do the solo dives to complete the scans. Did they figure it out?? I'm in the middle right now.
Oh thank God. I hope they keep playing, I am enjoying
Dan and I both thought up the "Coachellacanth" joke at the same time!
I love how they were so focused on scanning fish that they totally missed the alien object in the background lol
Fun Fact: Zebra sharks got their name because they have black and white stripes when they're babies. Back in the day, scientists actually thought the babies and adults were separate species.
I feel like we're not talking about the "Dive Festival" thing enough. Between that and the chopped-up chapters... what in a rejected mobile game proposal?
9:00 “that’s insane” *kickstarter ukulele music intensifies*
Danny is a real one for recognizing the Hartford Whalers. Brass Bonanza for DAYS
i’m a simple paleontology student. i see a prehistoric creature, and i am filled with whimsy beyond comprehension
8:16
We call him, The Cyclops!
