Kinda mad they baited us with that Kratos... SECRET LEVEL Ep. 1 -8 Ending Explained: ruclips.net/video/Y5yIBCxX9qc/видео.html Check out my other Sci-Fi & Fantasy videos here: ruclips.net/p/PLY9KJ1cFVs7iajBX4Ibg6jaCAH1eIuSgd
Just fyi at 5:09 that is a picture of mega man's dog Rush. You misspoke and said Treble which is actual a purple dog companion of another character named Bass.
I do like that LDAR plays around with differing animation styles. These seem a bit more uniform, but i like that they both don't shy away from non-hollywood endings.
i know PlayStation got a episode about good ole times and having fun in games . meanwhile in real life sony is suing and banning everyone who doesnt fall in line
@@Atemnûra_KrünZorûk4.5 yeah dude they fkin lied to us ! I wanted to see Nathan , Aloy , spidey ! In a 20 mins episode , cuz its SUPPOSED TO BE A FKIN SERIES ! NOT A SERIE OF SHORTS !!
episode 15 : Not only did we not get a full God of War episode, which I was looking forward to the most, we didn't even get an APPEARANCE of Ghost of Tsushima like the trailer showed, making the trailer a straight up lie. I expected more, not a fanservice mash up of games that deserved an episode far more than most that actually GOT an episode.
Agree with Ghost of Tsushima (could be cut content) but they also never said there would be a god of war episode, so that's on you in a way. But even as a fan service episode it was pretty bad. There are barely any Sony IPs, just like 4 or something and way to much focus on a character nobody cares aboit
@@Romapolitan I wasn't expecting one but its a complete sham they relegated kratos to a single scene when they could have done a god of war episode instead of a concord one
If you watch closely, the statute of Yi was there in the beginning when he enters the palace court yard, just not fully shown in focus, in the Honor of Kings episode.
The AI in Honor of Kings can see the future but what you must understand is that he is also bound by the rules he states. Remember he tells the kid that no matter the choice he makes in the the mirror shows the inevitable conclusion. You the viewer see the story through the lens that the AI can't be beaten that it is outside of the rules. Outside of the order of cause and effect but it is not. It is bound by the same laws, rules, physics which is why it can be beaten.
There are some games that would be cool for Secret Level season 2 like Genshin Impact, Call of Duty, Team Fortress, Overwatch, Left 4 Dead, GTA, Death Stranding, Diablo, Doom, Valorant and Halo
@theangxldxvil-eq6jpAs someone who actually does like Genshin Impact, I think that's a bad idea for the format and unlikely since an anime is already in the works. I think something like Metroid would work better and fit the style.
Chang An is the name of the actual capital of China in the Tang dynasty. Chang (長) means "long", and An (安) means "safe", meaning forever security. The Tang dynasty is one of the most prosperous times in China's history, so Chang An is a pretty common setting in fictional stories.
Really? They tease a God of War episode with Kratos in the trailer, only to be basicly a fake out? I bet alot of people where angry for that. For me, the GOW episode would be the most hyped one.
In the honor of Kings episode. The tien gon would accept his fate as he would be pretty hypocritical to change the future. He knows the outcome but he would also have to accept the outcome as he explains.
I liked the Outer Worlds episode. Didn’t even really need the Felicity character. The blind faith people in that universe have regarding the corporations has always been fascinating and fun to explore.
Hilarious how the Concord episode was one of the better ones 😂 the Second part of season one was definitely not as strong as the first, but I really hope they continue this show. This show has insane potential, hopefully many developers and franchises see that
tbh my fav is ep14 from honor of kings. this is because I try not to get on nostalgia or having played the game. ep 14 feels more complete and has a message in it. the rest is either too short or felt nonsensical
Just to let people know, the people who made Fallout new vegas and kotor are not the same people that are making Avowed and The outer worlds 2. so the saying " the studio that brought to you......." doesn't really mean anything.
That's pretty much the same with all studios lately....Bioware, Arkane(formerly), Obsidian, etc are all "new" in terms of employees. All the quality people who made the great games are gone unfortunately and it seems the new teams are talentless woke hacks
For honor of Kings, the ending could actually be the very beginning where he saw his own demise and it was inevitable that he was going to concede. But he still had to play it as if he could win to offer that sense of cause and effect from “free will”.
True, I feel like it’s a time loop or he became a reflection of himself. The only way he knows the future is by becoming the very same thing, the tien gong he chose to beat.
Don’t forget things like fallout and maybe an actual ghost of Tsushima episode a standalone GOW episode and a standalone helldivers 2 episode because they kind of screwed up on episode 15
First off, I really wish the MegaMan episode was longer. By far, it was my favorite of all the episodes with Dungeons & Dragons and Warhammer 40 K coming in second. Also, I thought Spelunky was made by Fortiche Studios after watching it. The art style was very similar to Arcane and those purple lizards looked almost exactly like Rio from Arcane. I was surprised to see that it wasn’t made by them though.
Actually, that is a great idea. Rain World is rich with many mystical places, alien creatures and creepy vibes, that it would be perfect for this short films format.
What's hilarious about Amos in Outer Wilds is you can make a character with stats that make you roleplay like him. An idiot. I could literally imagine what his stat sheet would look like.
I thought Secret Level was good, not great, it was definitely watchable, a couple of the shorts got my pulse up, most didn't. It was good but it was no LD/R season 1.
I’ll give you a different take on the Outerworlds episode. I say she was Auntie Cleo the entire time and in disguise in which he was always her test subject along with the world. When complete, she packed up and moved on to another world.
Yeah, it's insane that they went with a hero shooter and not something like an RPG or typical adventure story game, it seemed way more interesting than the standard hero shooter on relatively bland maps the game actually released as
Last episode was (i think) more about playing for achievements vs playing for fun. Let me explain - those buddy robot were giving these rewards for doing daily tasks, and for example she received new "skin" for her bike. Notice how games she was chased by were remembered for gameplay and/or story. And yes, it was glorified PS ad, and I'd love to see more characters from different games, but what do you think?
i thought it was an okay episode, getting undeserved hate for teasing kratos i guess. i agree, i think the point of the episode was remembering was gaming used to be for us, before it got tainted by daily quests, microtransactions, BPs and seasonal events. story driven games that inspired the imagination of an entire generation are what we remember
I don't get exodus. it takes nick 1y to get there but 8y passed for his daughter. but how long did it take for her to get there in the first place? how is she already over there without lightspeed? if she used it too, when nick catches up, the year difference should be the same for both of them. I don't get how she's traveling all that distance with normal travel.
The only thing I could think so was there are different levels of faster the light travel or the father was forced to take a much less direct route spending more time traveling at FTL
Both are travelling at lightspeed but her father is flying different routes. When he starts of the first planet, he doesn't get in a ship and fly directly to the planet his daughter went. He got a job on a big ship that had the planet his daughter went, being one of its destinations (I think in the episode they said it's the third stop or so). So she went to a planet in a couple of weeks or months while her father spent a year flying to different planets until he ended up to the same one she went. After that he probably did the same thing, get a job on a ship that will end up on the next planet she went. On the second planet he got his own ship but surrendered to the celestials and went on patrol with them until they found his daughter. So the time difference makes sense, since he travelled to more planets and spent more time at lightspeed than her. The episode is very interesting but it's weird that the game got an episode, when the whole premise of the series was that each episode is based on a beloved games and Exodus isn't even out yet.
So disappointed we only got 3 SECONDS! of Kratos smh and what that last episode was basically paywall vs mod support lol at least that’s what I got from it
my top episodes would be 1. warhammer 2. unreal tournament 3. sifu 4. d&d 5. mega man bonus: armored core and honor of kings as for the rest its either meh or i think its bad lol✌😆
I saw ep14 ending as a reflection of the past. He is basically the tien gong trapped in a time loop being the only way he knows the future and how it’ll end
Would love to see Secret Level do a Space Invaders/R-Type, Metal Gear Solid, Oddworld, GoldenEye, Pong, Max Payne and maybe even an interesting take on Sid Meiers Civilization series...
Honor of Kings was best episode of the second half of the first season. Funny how the best episode was derived from a mobile game lol... First half of the season was much much much better.
I watched this for the asian go episode, i thought the ending was it showing that he contained the boy in an illusion but your interpretation makes more sense.
Honor of Kings episode was really good, a nice time loop is always great to see. That being said, feel like the first half of this season was better. The last episode was especially awfully mid just because we should've had stories regarding all those characters instead of short cameos
My top 3 episodes would be: 1) Pac-Man - its a really dark and unique take of such a really simple game premise and I wish the same treatment would've been given to Megaman. 2) Warhammer 40K - effectively told its story with amazing visual storytelling with almost no dialogue and minimum exposition. 3) The Outer Worlds - it's a really great tragedy that surprisingly made me feel sorry for a protagonist with a trope that I normally dislike (I guy who can't tell a lie to a ridiculous fault).
For me my Episodes would be ranked 1. Warhammer 🔨 2. Sifu 🥋 3. New World 👑 4. Unreal Tournament 🏟️ 5. Armoured Core 🤖 6. Honor Of Kings ♟️ 7. Pac-man 👻 8. Dungeons & Dragons 🐉 9. Concord 🚀 10. Spelunky 🪦 11. The Outer Worlds 🧪 12. Mega Man 👦 13. Exodus 🧑🚀 14. Crossfire 🧳 15. GayStation 🏳️🌈 Definitely gonna change some after a rewatch but this is so far what I got
Gotta admit, the Concord one was pretty good. Now if they would receive the franchise, they should make it a Heist, or Horde-tide game like a mix of Payday and WH Vermintide. That would actually distance themselves from the hero shooter market.
Oh, ep. 11 enjoyer. PLZ explaine to me how in the world Mari instantly travels between planets ? Nick using speed of light travel and spend 8 years in normal time and she spend 8 years on the planet... Just how did she get there so fast?
Ep. 14. You missed the entire point of the episode. Tiangong said himself that his end is also in the stream of causality, so he literally can't prevent his future. That's what causal determinism is. What this episode tells is that free will is indeed an illusion. Which it is. If you believe that actions cause things to happen you can't believe in acausal things like free will.
Personally, I didn't like the second half as much as the first, clearly this batch was meant more as commercials promoting the incoming games, not so much to show what make said games special. Specially considering both, Concord inclusion and the last episode, which is JUST a damn add. But hey, I understand, the money had to come for somewhere.
At first I didnt understood the take on the pacman episode, but after the games award revealing the new pacman game, no everything makes sense, also secret level will have a season 2! Lets hope they make episodes of more memorable playstation games, I would like if it includes nintendo and xbox games, but iirc these show is just to show games that are exclusive or third party games that are available on playstation
Mega man should have been longer!!! Also, with the Concord episode, its very ironic how the game was sold for $40 while its competitors are free to play while in the episode the captain gives the trade routes out for free when they could have sold them for a ton of money. The developers of the game made the opposite choice that the characters in the episode made.
“None of the concord characters even appear in the episode” Actually two characters from the game did at the end but they’re so forgettable it doesnt even matter 😂
TRON! Missile Command! Sinistar! Defender! Spy Hunter! Battle Zone! Red Baron (not snoopy)! Robotron! Joust! GORF! There you go, ten titles to make episodes.
Its surprising in playtime in ep 15 as kevin hart was in it .. and he also was in borderlands live action movie all happened in 2024 as well .. this wasn't the best for me it felt strange like no meaning to this it felt like an episode of your favorite game and not even related to there own story.
Exodus is an extremely promising game, I suggest you read up on it. Made by former bioware legends that left to gain creative freedom. Time dilation is crucial to the story, and they've said we'll see the consequences of our choices centuries in the future.
Oh, ep. 11 enjoyer. PLZ explaine to me how in the world Mari instantly travels between planets ? Nick using speed of light travel and spend 8 years in normal time and she spend 8 years on the planet... Just how did she get there so fast?
@Fafarjo If I understand correctly, it's all about how far behind her he was. He probably made more jumps than her to find her. Timing probably plays a huge factor as well. I'd have to review it bit by bit to see if their math adds up, or maybe someone has done a breakdown already.
@@ruthlessrubberducky5729 Timing ? Quantity of jumps ? According to the story Nick spend 8 years at the speed of light. If this 8 years he has been traveling to random places while the direct route would take less than a year(plus doing this every time without singe time mentioned it)... How would this make any sense ?
@Fafarjo How well do you understand relativistic speeds and their effects on time? Essentially, the faster you go, the slower time appears to go for you. That said, the universe around you will be experiencing time much faster than you are. You can't actually go the speed of light, but you can get 99.999999etc% of the way there, and the time slowing effect gets more extreme the closer you get. You could travel 8 lightyears in 8.1 years or so (don't have the actual equation) while only experiencing 3 years of aging. The longer you are at relativistic speeds, the more the universe ages without you. The plot of this game will revolve on this fact, and the world building already does. When humanity got the hundreds of lightyears distant messages from colonists giving the all clear, they set out to follow them. With the time of the signal delay and the relativistic travel compounding, those colonists had founded empires and genetically modified themselves to be something other than human in those extreme lengths of time before the rest of humanity finally arrived.
My favorites episode are Warhammer 40k, DnD and the mmo with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Megaman would have been a favorite too if it wasn't 5 freaking min long

That pac-man episode definitely gave me love, death, and robots vibes
There were a couple that really gave me love death vibes
Totally
I do like that LDAR plays around with differing animation styles. These seem a bit more uniform, but i like that they both don't shy away from non-hollywood endings.
The playsation ad at the end was a real punch in the face for the final episode lmfao
the whole ep. felt like one of those PS ads when they show ps characters IRL.
i know PlayStation got a episode about good ole times and having fun in games . meanwhile in real life sony is suing and banning everyone who doesnt fall in line
@@darringonzalez6247 imagine if they tried to use a single Nintendo character
I don’t know why they just didn’t end with like crash bandicoot or tomb, raider or something
Personally I don't mind I actually liked the episode!
I screamed when the Mega-Man credits started rolling
The episode without credits was just 5 minutes
Megaman one was trash. I had such high hopes for it
I wish the Megaman episode was longer.
Same
same. I was really disappointed to find out it was barely even 10 minutes. Like what even was the point?
yeh felt lazy
you and everyone else! it's like an opening cutscene!
9-15 definitely weaker than 1-8
Still as a whole this series is 🔥
season 2 could just be 8 episodes of 40k
There where so many episodes I wanted to see be full on shows
It was pretty mid compared to some episode
@@evelynfarfellwooosh1219 l loved the episode but to be honest I loved most of the episodes
40k was one of the best ones
No talking, only killing. Such a good masculine episode.

I think I saw Jin towards the end of the episode with some Helldivers in the background, I'm not 100% sure. Don't wanna rewatch this stupid ad lmao
@ exactly you “think” that’s because you did but just for 1 second if that smh that’s all it was 1 big ad. They baited us in with Kratos & Jin
It's kinda funny how the Concord episode was more interesting than the game itself
I disliked that episode
It's surprisingly decent conflict and exposition.......
And the episode was still shit.
@@gerihuginn2143 it wasn’t though lol
Why concord sales are shit? - "some things are worth too much to sell"
If you watch closely, the statute of Yi was there in the beginning when he enters the palace court yard, just not fully shown in focus, in the Honor of Kings episode.
for a mobile game, the Honor of Kings has one of the best animation in this series
Maybe Tencent provide the animation budget to there episode.
Tencent is a Blur Studio special customer, they already made many honor of kings animation in the past. Just search Honor of Kings CG
Yeah I could notice it
@@ravensayana2870 CHYNA

We need a dark souls and blood borne episode

Secret level has been renewed for season 2.
There are some games that would be cool for Secret Level season 2 like Genshin Impact, Call of Duty, Team Fortress, Overwatch, Left 4 Dead, GTA, Death Stranding, Diablo, Doom, Valorant and Halo
@theangxldxvil-eq6jp I was hoping for a actual helldivers story not a simulation.
Same the whole helldiver episode would just be pure comedy gold and chaos

@theangxldxvil-eq6jpAs someone who actually does like Genshin Impact, I think that's a bad idea for the format and unlikely since an anime is already in the works. I think something like Metroid would work better and fit the style.
it needed more Mega Man, i hope it returns to that story at some point.
Far too short.
It kind of sad how Megaman become underrated video game. Even it anime and cartoon feel like it got forgoten....
They could do a lot better, even an entire episode, but it was lame what they did
@@c-130turbo3 don’t us mega man fans deserve a live action? Capcom needs to give us one, why can’t they stop hiding him

Yeah God Of War & Warhammer 40k were the only episodes I was looking forward to, there was only like 3 maybe 4 good episodes smh
GoW and MegaMan were the only reasons I watched. Very disappointing
In the honor of Kings episode. The tien gon would accept his fate as he would be pretty hypocritical to change the future. He knows the outcome but he would also have to accept the outcome as he explains.
The best episode of the series has to be episode 5 Warhammer 40k.
Amos is a SIMP😭😔
Oh yea , easily the most cooked character in the series
Huge freaking 🤡
The epitome of one
Western animators love these linux tech tips looking type of loser characters
Is it lucky or unlucky to love someone that much?
The last episode is a reminder of what we lost, PS homes a hub where we talk and play together before it shutdown
I really hope Felicity will be a character in the Outer Worlds 2 because I have WORDS for her
Despicable is one.
A 9mm round is another
I liked the Outer Worlds episode. Didn’t even really need the Felicity character. The blind faith people in that universe have regarding the corporations has always been fascinating and fun to explore.
Ep 15 is just one massive Playstation Ad
Punch in my gut
Worst episode ever.
We could have got Warhammer40k sequel episode or tomb raider or Halo or Encharted but weak part 2 of secret level.
Baldur Gate 3: The episode where the team strategize an upcoming battle and the failed outcomes only for Minsc to Leeroy Jenkins it at the end.
Hilarious how the Concord episode was one of the better ones 😂 the Second part of season one was definitely not as strong as the first, but I really hope they continue this show. This show has insane potential, hopefully many developers and franchises see that
I thought the exact opposite and found it hilarious that it was shit just like the game 😂
The concord episode was painfully bland
@@dantauche7917 did you play the game

5:09 Mega Man's dog is named Rush. Treble is the name of Bass's wolf support bot.
I hate the word "bass." I never know if it's pronounced like the fish or the guitar.
@Becvar80 Bass & Treble like the music terms in this situation. I get it tho, lol

Yeah I hate when they say that because mostly all of them are missing more then half of the great devs that brought us those games we loved so much
I want a secret level episode for Monster Hunter and Resident Evil and Devil May Cry.
Man, warhammer was the best episode so far.
For honor of Kings, the ending could actually be the very beginning where he saw his own demise and it was inevitable that he was going to concede. But he still had to play it as if he could win to offer that sense of cause and effect from “free will”.
True, I feel like it’s a time loop or he became a reflection of himself. The only way he knows the future is by becoming the very same thing, the tien gong he chose to beat.
Ideas for next season:
1. Dog dug
2. Galaga
3. Vectorman
4. Uncharted
5. Comix Zone
6. Tetris
8. Any racing game
9. Any mobile game
I really hope they will make one episode about hit mobile game 'Shadow Foght'
Don’t forget things like fallout and maybe an actual ghost of Tsushima episode a standalone GOW episode and a standalone helldivers 2 episode because they kind of screwed up on episode 15
@ an assassins creed maybe a more modern setting, COD maybe that cancelled COD Roman wars game, a dark Mario episode like PacMan Tetris
Megaman and Armored Core were the ones I really wanted to watch. I was so invested in Megaman and wish we got more 😢
First off, I really wish the MegaMan episode was longer. By far, it was my favorite of all the episodes with Dungeons & Dragons and Warhammer 40 K coming in second.

Honor of Kings episode was easily the best episode in the entire show for me!!!
Love this explanation content. Thanks.
I never expected one of the 16 colossi to appear but I was pleasantly surprised by this video.
OOOhhhhhhhhhh. Thank you so much for explaining the Path of Kings Ending, that makes so much sense
Concord as a game - absolute stinky trash.
Concord as a setting - WHY ARE WE NOT FUNDING THIS?
Easily my favorite episode
Yeah, it's insane that they went with a hero shooter and not something like an RPG or typical adventure story game, it seemed way more interesting than the standard hero shooter on relatively bland maps the game actually released as
Megaman was amazing, it was joy to actually see a live action version. The worst part is that it ended.
Wasn’t live action but it was definitely beautiful
Last episode was (i think) more about playing for achievements vs playing for fun. Let me explain - those buddy robot were giving these rewards for doing daily tasks, and for example she received new "skin" for her bike.

12:21 the concord characters were in the background. Theyre the ones the narrator was speaking to
Not a gamer per se and played only Unreal Tournament out of all of these games so I love that episode the most because I recognized the references :D
I don't get exodus. it takes nick 1y to get there but 8y passed for his daughter. but how long did it take for her to get there in the first place? how is she already over there without lightspeed? if she used it too, when nick catches up, the year difference should be the same for both of them. I don't get how she's traveling all that distance with normal travel.
Same for me too, I don’t know Exodus lore since i never heard of it
Same here
The only thing I could think so was there are different levels of faster the light travel or the father was forced to take a much less direct route spending more time traveling at FTL
I was thinking the same thing while watching the episode
Both are travelling at lightspeed but her father is flying different routes. When he starts of the first planet, he doesn't get in a ship and fly directly to the planet his daughter went.

The episode is very interesting but it's weird that the game got an episode, when the whole premise of the series was that each episode is based on a beloved games and Exodus isn't even out yet.
Concord was somehow in my top 5 along with honor of Kings, 40k, AC6, and Unreal tournament

my top episodes would be

4. d&d
5. mega man
bonus: armored core and honor of kings
as for the rest its either meh or i think its bad lol✌😆
Season 2 should have a Cyberpunk episode
I saw ep14 ending as a reflection of the past. He is basically the tien gong trapped in a time loop being the only way he knows the future and how it’ll end
Would love to see Secret Level do a Space Invaders/R-Type, Metal Gear Solid, Oddworld, GoldenEye, Pong, Max Payne and maybe even an interesting take on Sid Meiers Civilization series...
I don't game so for me Secret Level flew over my head for the most part.
Honor of Kings was best episode of the second half of the first season. Funny how the best episode was derived from a mobile game lol... First half of the season was much much much better.
I watched this for the asian go episode, i thought the ending was it showing that he contained the boy in an illusion but your interpretation makes more sense.
Beautiful piece 💯
secret level scratched my love death and robots itch while anxiously waiting for season 4 to drop
Honor of Kings episode was really good, a nice time loop is always great to see. That being said, feel like the first half of this season was better. The last episode was especially awfully mid just because we should've had stories regarding all those characters instead of short cameos
I think you forgot to mention the Helldiver II cameos 15:56
Its a 8/10 for me mainly coz it has room for improvement. I do wish we got a God of war episode but they chose to cuck us
I really dislike the season finale
My top 3 episodes would be:
1) Pac-Man - its a really dark and unique take of such a really simple game premise and I wish the same treatment would've been given to Megaman.
2) Warhammer 40K - effectively told its story with amazing visual storytelling with almost no dialogue and minimum exposition.
3) The Outer Worlds - it's a really great tragedy that surprisingly made me feel sorry for a protagonist with a trope that I normally dislike (I guy who can't tell a lie to a ridiculous fault).
For me my Episodes would be ranked
1. Warhammer 🔨
2. Sifu 🥋
3. New World 👑
4. Unreal Tournament 🏟️
5. Armoured Core 🤖
6. Honor Of Kings ♟️
7. Pac-man 👻
8. Dungeons & Dragons 🐉
9. Concord 🚀
10. Spelunky 🪦
11. The Outer Worlds 🧪
12. Mega Man 👦
13. Exodus 🧑🚀
14. Crossfire 🧳
15. GayStation 🏳️🌈
Definitely gonna change some after a rewatch but this is so far what I got
Concord per mega man 😂
Gaystation lmao that's funny asf you get like my guy
Buddy nobody cares about your fav list!!! The world does not revolve around you
@@RubyAcrobat09I care. Was it the gaystation comment that triggered you
Loved it😊
Gotta admit, the Concord one was pretty good. Now if they would receive the franchise, they should make it a Heist, or Horde-tide game like a mix of Payday and WH Vermintide. That would actually distance themselves from the hero shooter market.
I hope if there is a season two they make the episodes longer at least 20 mins long so we can enjoy the characters more
sure, 40k told a complete story... but we, as a species cannot pass up a second episode of that masterpiece
Exodus: Yes, time dilation will be an important part in the game, it's a key factor of the game/setting.
Oh, ep. 11 enjoyer. PLZ explaine to me how in the world Mari instantly travels between planets ? Nick using speed of light travel and spend 8 years in normal time and she spend 8 years on the planet... Just how did she get there so fast?
@@FafarjoI was confused by that too
Ep. 14. You missed the entire point of the episode. Tiangong said himself that his end is also in the stream of causality, so he literally can't prevent his future. That's what causal determinism is. What this episode tells is that free will is indeed an illusion. Which it is. If you believe that actions cause things to happen you can't believe in acausal things like free will.
Free will also have a cause and effect in its illusion. So you’re really just making it more complex than it really is
@@NETBU Free will by definition is acausal, that is why it can't work with any world where physics is real.
Thank you very much
time dilation on rpg games sounds amazing, it'll make up for so many branching stories
Personally, I didn't like the second half as much as the first, clearly this batch was meant more as commercials promoting the incoming games, not so much to show what make said games special.
Specially considering both, Concord inclusion and the last episode, which is JUST a damn add.
But hey, I understand, the money had to come for somewhere.
Agreed, the second part of episodes were....pffft.
There was only like 2 episodes I liked out of them all.
which is?@@thejanusproject32
At first I didnt understood the take on the pacman episode, but after the games award revealing the new pacman game, no everything makes sense, also secret level will have a season 2! Lets hope they make episodes of more memorable playstation games, I would like if it includes nintendo and xbox games, but iirc these show is just to show games that are exclusive or third party games that are available on playstation
Ep 14, the Tiangong simply see the future that he can't change. IT already says you can't change it.
Mega man should have been longer!!!
Also, with the Concord episode, its very ironic how the game was sold for $40 while its competitors are free to play while in the episode the captain gives the trade routes out for free when they could have sold them for a ton of money. The developers of the game made the opposite choice that the characters in the episode made.
Bro a Half Life, Portal, Team fortress 2 or Left 4 Dead Secret Level episode would be fire
So you’re telling me that Ghost of Tsushima and God of war is just…an ad placement…
So glad I got a prime subscription for this. Yaaaay. 😐
“None of the concord characters even appear in the episode”
Actually two characters from the game did at the end but they’re so forgettable it doesnt even matter 😂
TRON! Missile Command! Sinistar! Defender! Spy Hunter! Battle Zone! Red Baron (not snoopy)! Robotron! Joust! GORF!
There you go, ten titles to make episodes.
Treble is Bass' companion. Rock's companion is Rush
Its surprising in playtime in ep 15 as kevin hart was in it .. and he also was in borderlands live action movie all happened in 2024 as well .. this wasn't the best for me it felt strange like no meaning to this it felt like an episode of your favorite game and not even related to there own story.
Ohhhhh Kevin Hart....
Megaman was FAR too short. I wanted MORE so badly. Would have been so cool to see him fight various robots and upgrade along the way.
Need Killzone that's a Playstation classic and Resident Evil,Halo, Medal of Honor ww2 would be cool throw back and Test drive 6 .
It was okay 👍
Not a good critic, but I just love what is given.
Celebration of gaming 30%
Celebartion of agendas and pandering 70%
Was waiting for you to upload 😂🙏 you're awesome dude
Everytime we felt it was going somewhere, it ends abruptly. The rest felt like ads or references.
The short Concord is probly my favorite.
Too bad the game didn't work out.
The game doesn't look much like the short so also probly for the best.
It appears the fashion sense of the universe disappeared when the crew of the implacable left.
This series was so magnificent
Exodus is an extremely promising game, I suggest you read up on it. Made by former bioware legends that left to gain creative freedom. Time dilation is crucial to the story, and they've said we'll see the consequences of our choices centuries in the future.
Oh, ep. 11 enjoyer. PLZ explaine to me how in the world Mari instantly travels between planets ? Nick using speed of light travel and spend 8 years in normal time and she spend 8 years on the planet... Just how did she get there so fast?
@Fafarjo If I understand correctly, it's all about how far behind her he was. He probably made more jumps than her to find her. Timing probably plays a huge factor as well. I'd have to review it bit by bit to see if their math adds up, or maybe someone has done a breakdown already.
@@ruthlessrubberducky5729 Timing ? Quantity of jumps ? According to the story Nick spend 8 years at the speed of light. If this 8 years he has been traveling to random places while the direct route would take less than a year(plus doing this every time without singe time mentioned it)... How would this make any sense ?
@Fafarjo How well do you understand relativistic speeds and their effects on time? Essentially, the faster you go, the slower time appears to go for you. That said, the universe around you will be experiencing time much faster than you are. You can't actually go the speed of light, but you can get 99.999999etc% of the way there, and the time slowing effect gets more extreme the closer you get. You could travel 8 lightyears in 8.1 years or so (don't have the actual equation) while only experiencing 3 years of aging. The longer you are at relativistic speeds, the more the universe ages without you.
The plot of this game will revolve on this fact, and the world building already does. When humanity got the hundreds of lightyears distant messages from colonists giving the all clear, they set out to follow them. With the time of the signal delay and the relativistic travel compounding, those colonists had founded empires and genetically modified themselves to be something other than human in those extreme lengths of time before the rest of humanity finally arrived.
I wish they would make an episode on assassin's Creed🤲🏽
i just realized i really want a cuphead episode of secret level for season 2
My favorites episode are Warhammer 40k, DnD and the mmo with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Megaman would have been a favorite too if it wasn't 5 freaking min long
