@@callmeshaggy5166 His same video of TFS is less than 5 hours. Yeah, all Bungie campaigns, seasons or expansions, can be completed AT LEAST ONCE in less than a day lol.
@@Chablo91 yes, next episode will release all the first act story at launch of the act 1. You’ll still have to wait for Act 2 and 3 to see the end obviously.
@@Chablo91 I think the next episode will be better overall, but obviously it won’t be enough to “save” or change the game. For that we’ll have to wait the next dlc or at least the (proper) reveal for it. Not even the best season in the history of the game could do that, we need to actually see their vision for the future (and its execution) first. But a good season would help, sure.
These episodes are like reading a book while you play, it's so captiviating, I'm all for good lore when it comes to games and I found this story very dark and sad, also Failsafe's character development is so adorable 🥰
fr, the story would be 100% better if it was about her world domination not relationship advice. Pls stop putting gays and lesbians into great games, look what has become of them.

@Esoterickk, Thanks for compiling this. I wanted to keep up with the story/lore but got so bored I quit playing b4 finishing Act 1. So glad I didn't have to grind all season for this love lost story. 🤗
Eh, the story was okay. Better than a Plunder or Defiance, not as good as Witch. The ending could’ve been written way better than just the Guardian & company going “no.” Missed potential in showing the choral Vex having more individuality. But seeing Saint’s existential crisis was pretty compelling, and having Failsafe around as both comic relief and a helpful companion again was nice. I really like how Bungie portrayed her this time. The battlegrounds and loot were also pretty great, those are where this episode shined the most imo. Overall, not bad, but not great either. It is a season that exists, and will most likely be remembered by the low morale around the time.
That first battleground has one of the better openings we have seen, the way the fallen and vex use defensive lines, flanking, cover and fire tactics. Wild stuff. Hope for the future?
Is she a different actress here? The voice sounds identical to me. Which is irrelevant anyway, since Failsafe has always been an over the top “comedy” character, which works better now in the current context but was awful during Red War, especially with Cayde…
@@davida1229 they couldn't even match up her personalities to her ring colors. For some reason her happy voice is deep red & her melancholy voice is bright orange - completely opposite of what *she still is on Nessus aboard Exodus Black.* Tl;dr - it matters if you're not blindly chugging what bung puts down your throat.
@@callmeshaggy5166 I noticed to colors as well when I played. Unless it was explained in some random lore than yeah, that’s a mistake (a dumb and strange one too, since it’s always consistent as far as I noticed). But my comment was about the writing and the voice actress. The actress seems completely identical to me, and the writing is absolutely in line with Red War. The difference is the context, which resulted in a (really annoying at times) worse character in the campaign compared to the one in this episode, thanks to the overall story that surrounds her. The fact that they apparently messed up the colors doesn’t change that.
The fact this is all under 4 hours just proves one could have *_easily_* done the entire season's content in just one day.
Exactly. Can the next act be completely finished in 1 go? I think bungie said no timegating

@@davida1229 this might not move the dial nearly enough.
Only if the acts themselves are good.

Honestly failsafe carried this season hard with her beep boops
I was hoping she was getting her own body tbh, but I agree
The whole episode is gays vs lesbians

Lol that didn't cross my mind but it's so true
So tired of woke 🙄
Gay Robots in Lust! 😢

awesome to catch up on, during the play through i really didnt want to listen to dialogue

I love your content eso keep it up ❤
Rough season mainly because of the story. I hope the new dungeon will be able to carry the next episode.
Niiiiiice
I wonder what the "bismuth world" that Esi .18 decided to live on.

how the hell did you beat the end of Act 2 boss so easily when I am struggling for over an hour hiding and taking shots when I can?
a good story with terrible quest steps, and mah ending
😊
Anybody else miss the old failsafe voice? New one is about as cringe as nimbus 2000
