Hence why Celeste has such a popular speedrunning community. Props to them for going out of there way to create paths for more difficult dashes in exchange for faster times.
I kinda agree, but at the same time I think the games wouldn’t be as much fun if the community wasn’t forced to come together to find new cool stuff whenever things get patched. (Yeh I get that you can just normally go and find stuff without a patch, but the extra kick in the rear to rush and find cool skips before everyone else is pretty fun)
If you mean fixing a bug that speedrunners exploit that basically allow a few hours game finish in a few second that is good. Leave some bugs for to exploit while fix some bug to prevent making speedrun of the game meaningless or too short and skip everything. I just watch a speedrun for supraland end in like 7 min or something just because of a bug skip everything. Not fun to watch.
@@EnderElohimMusic you don't HAVE to do those exploits or play the game that way if you don't want to. "Fixing" speedrunner tricks doesn't have any effect on the way normal players play, it's just spendi g time and resources to give certain players the middle finger.
@@Tailstraw_xD You are wrong. You are sooo wrong i can't explain how much wrong you are enough. But i'm not gonna spend a bunch of time to explain this shit so summary is not every speedrunner trick good for the speedrun community for the said game. If there is a "trick" prevent meaningful expression of actual skill and basically turn that game into just another few minues speedrun it sux to participate and it sux to watch. Literally bad for every fucking body.
Lot of devs love seeing players speedrun their games. It's a great way to learn how mechanics are bypassed. Plus, they realize speedrunners are the most dedicated players of a game, so it's cool to see little easter eggs like this.
Some speedrunners play the same game (at intervals of course) for like 20 years. It would be nice to recognize them somehow for their dedication. Maybe not all of them, but you know, something.
It's nice to know that the Dev team supports speedrunning. It's just really sweet to see this since most developers patch the game to make it harder. Now that's the kind of positivity you need between game makers and players, where you both can have fun with it
this is what happens when people who love and appreciate video games make a game, they put little details in that make it feel so much more personal. it’s so cool to see something like this
hence why Call of Duty, is the worst franchise of all time, they put no heart into their games anymore. All they want is money and their brand has already prospered exponentially
I was 100% expecting to hear the game giving the player absolute shit for trying to speedrun, instead I got the exact opposite which was the game actually being entirely wholesome and supportive and I absolutely love it
A game developing a speed run community only helps to grow the game and keep it around longer, feel like devs would be a little dumb to shame it, even if it’s not in the devs vision of how the game should be played
I was honestly 100% expecting for someone to not post/copy the same comment because they're sooooooo desperate for likes that they look for whatever got the most likes then they copy the comment. Bro.... I swear to God, even if you average 1.5 trillion likes per comments, it won't make your life good
Yeah, I figured the title was weird cuz I thought that audio would trigger at some point in the game anyway only to realize I was fucking around with the jetpack outside that building when I got that audio, too.🤣
While playing I felt like the best way to describe the feel of the game is something you played as a kid and no matter what age you are, you love it. And when you play years later you remember all the amazing little details. Like I’m 23 and played for the first time. I hope when I’m 40+ I get my hands on this game again because it’ll be so fun to replay
I really wanted to like it but it was too buggy. Like there was on part where you cross these moving things by slowing it down( it has been a while so dont really remember) the important part is that i kept glitching through the part you're supposed to stand on.
I have always wanted to make a game, one that has good mechanics and a great story, but also one that would be a total treat to out of bounds explorers and speedrunners. It's those very communities that keep a game alive and also find bugs that hinder casual players!
I don’t see the problem lol. I’m pretty sure the game was just programmed to notice when stuff was done out of sequence rather than scripting the bit to play in that specific area. Game devs leaning into speedrunning through the design of their games is also when speedrunning begins to get more artificial and less spontaneous, so if anything remaining rigid is the better path to take.
Those are two distinct things, though. Thinking about someone speed running doesn’t mean they have to keep the game without any storyline/mechanics barriers.
@@xerobeat9142 Good point. Another aspect of speedrunning seems to be finding ways to break intended mechanics. The harder the game makes it to do, the more satisfying it is when it succeeds.
Honestly, the game isnt for me, but even if it isnt the type of game for me, I can absoloutly appreciate how much love the devs put into this game and how they clearly appreciate their community Edit: I have actually tried the game, its free on game pass and I gave it a shot before coming to my decision. Single player Rpg has never been a big genre for me in the first place but I still gave it the old college try. Got about as far as beating 9-torg and 5-torg, getting back, and then setting off for my second bounty before deciding there were other game si would rather be playing XD.

It's pretty easy to set something like that up. just create some invisible trigger field and attach something that plays dialogue. The thing is most developers don't have the time to set that up

@@batsardcat3285 it's fine i guess, this generation loves boring and repetitive jokes and useless conversations and quotes from random NPCs instead of better gameplay and quality content, and speedrunning is ironically the opposite, it's beating the game fast with the most exploits as possible, ignoring most encounters. Both terrible ideas that will kill your game quickly
@@LegendKingY2j "quotes from random NPCs" "quality content" "boring jokes" "useless conversations" seems that you're just spouting a bunch of meaningless buzzwords. typical "new generation bad" commenter.
I just played through the game the first time and got this same dialogue doing a different maneuver or skip. Nice to know they took into account those of us with a short attention span.
Sonic Colors Ultimate did something sorta similar in concept. The devs actually preserved the old skips, and added a thing where (if you have the "Navigator" feature turned on so that you can hear the Tails voice clips) Tails will express confusion if the game winds up loading a segment that isn't connected to the one you were just in, and also get a little concerned if you straight-up go out-of-bounds (such as using a trick to keep 3D controls active in a 2D section).
This is one of my favourite games of all time. A game doesn't have to be doing something new to be awesome. Just be interesting. And this game is really interesting to me. Constantly rewarding. I love it.
I once opened a chest that by very skillful jumping and shooting, and the game said “you weren’t supposed to be here yet, but that’s okay” I love that detail
The amount of small details in this game are incredible, whether its you the player doing something you shouldn't or finding something or just a completely hidden little item/npc. Makes me wanna go back and replay it.
My biggest fear starting the game was that it would end up just being Rick Sanchez like cynicism all the way but it’s actually way more positive and supportive (low key closer to a smiling friends vibe) which is a really pleasant surprise.
@@tigertamer8256 thanks, that comment is a perfect exemple of what I meant by the « Rick Sanchez like cynicism » I’m so glad we don’t find in the game.
@@_j_t_p_ yes kind of. You get bounties but in those bounties you get guns and certain areas in previous areas can be unlocked with the new gun mechanics. And actual story missions rely on things like jetpack and the grapple and magnetic boots etc.
developers could intentionally design some levels in a way to bait speed runners and if say the player clears an area that obscure but optimized way at least 3 times they're clearly trying to Speedrun and the game can register that and prompt the dialogue accordingly they could even design a narrative around speed running
The shortcut was probably caught while beta testing but instead of patching it, they decided to leave it in and leave a little message of encouragement.
Btw, it is possible to escape from "High On Life" without grabbing the mag boots. However, it does cause some issues with the game as the text "escape from High on Life" will not go away until you do grab the boots and leave the intended way. Also, if you do escape without grabbing the boots, it will make leaving the base after killing Mr. Giblets much more difficult as the intended route requires the mag boots.
I love how supportive the game is about you speed running. It shows how much love and compassion the devs put into this game and that they would love to see the amount of time that they can beat this game. This game may not be for me, but hell, I do enjoy the content people make about this game!
That last line is interesting. It honestly feels like it's meant for players who played a long time ago and remember where they're supposed to go, but not how to get there. Just from the clips I've seen, this game seems really interesting
I'll be the first to say the humour doesn't always stick with me but I won't deny the effort, creativity and entertainment this game offers. Not the deepest game considering gameplay mechanics but it still offers a lot. I don't wanna end up like that one vtuber I saw where they went like "HaHa You GuYs GeT iT?!?! ThEy SaId StUpId ThInG WhIlE oThEr ThInG hApPeNeD!!" as if that is worthwhile critique or adds value to the comedy
@@fantasprite612 I Don't remember. I was just skimming through videos RUclips recommended me and just found one that also played this game. I think even the title was something obnoxious in the nature. I think it was like a quote that basically mocked the game for making a neon genesis reference.
Sounds like they did the exact same jokes this game pulls. It's like with the kid you kill, or with the boss who kills himself, they just can't not make a comment about the situation that adds nothing to it.
I haven't played most of the game yet, so what I'm about to say could be completely inaccurate, in which case I apologize, but it does not seem like the game will change "they said stupid thing while other thing happened" is a worthwhile critique... when that's the only joke formula in the game I can't think of a single "joke" that isn't either being crude where other games wouldn't be, such as the tutorial guy swearing and talking about his divorce or being able to shoot the child OR pointing out how something that's normal in other game, is actually kinda weird, like going up to random people and asking about the bounty hunter Neither of which I'd really count as jokes, but I digress those joke formats can be really funny if pulled off well, AND IN MODERATION the moderation is what High on Life forgets if they sat stupid thing while other thing happens once, some people may find it funny, some may not, that's how jokes work if they say stupid thing while other thing happens 10 times in a row, the jokes long past its expiration date One cake is good, but you'd throw up if you ate 99 more TL;DR: the game makes the same jokes so many times they stop being funny
@@IHateCopperGolems Almost like how Rick and Morty is just like the same 10 jokes told slightly differently for ... what is it up to, seven seasons now?
Majority of this games time was definitely spent on the voice acting and scripts and what not, but even with the games choppy movements and animations the pure love and effort put into everything else just makes me forget about it. This game is great, we need more games that can just have a laugh and not be so serious
I loved the later boss fights they got extremely hard when play on the hardest mode. Love finding all the boxes everywhere and having to go back. Knifey funny af
the bad guys getting skipped sounds hilarious. the level of work with voice acting put into anticipating what speedrunners will need to do to skip portions is next level. honestly it would make watching a speedrun of this game worthwhile. its literally the memes of speedrunning in an actual game.
If I had to guess, there's event trigger bounds with IDs to go in order, but if you skip a few you get a chance to hear special voice lines. Super charming!
Whether you like the game or not, it is creative. It may not be for everyone but I have yet to see a game that made me feel so immersed due to how the world around you reacts to every decision you make. Made me feel like I was the main character. 75% of AAA games released today have mixed reviews and are broken beyond repair. I gotta say it was refreshing to play something that you could tell the dev's actually gave a shit about. People get upset that this game is $60(free on gamepass & an indie dev team) but fail to realize that COD(AAA game, $70-$100) has banned over 150,000 accounts permanently for no reason. I was one of them and will never purchase a cod again in my life. I spent over $140 on a game where I got perma banned with no reason or explanation and an email saying they won't change their mind. My point is shit on the game and price all you want but at the end of the day I know 99% of those people are coming from AAA $70+ games like COD where the devs quite literally scam/steal from their supporters.
Best part of this game was the warped in island/road where those two aliens are just roasting and cursing each other out. Literally put my controller down and just listened and laughed 😅🤣
This game is incredibly easy to break the boundaries for in some areas. They give you a high jump, some object physics and then later; a jetpack?! And they don't expect us to go where they might not want us? Haha To their credit, they usually have collectables there, though not typically meant to be reached by complex means.
I love the tone it takes, that playful "I see what you're doing there 😉" kind of tone. "You trying to speedrun? Hell yeah, my guy. Go set some records!😁"
This reminds me of Super paper mario when mario asks ''what does this A button do?'' and the npc you talk to says: The Player on thr other side knows what it is
Loved the game. I honestly think other games can take simple ideas from this game just to make theirs more enjoyable. Being able to talk to your weapon in POV was a great move and has been something I always wanted. Same with the humor
@@Sailflish he's actually saying he enjoyed jit having all that extra shit, as did i lol, a good game especially for someone who doesn't have all day to play like these young fortnite mfs,
This game was awesome. Really creative, intense combat sequences akin to the newer Doom, where you’re able to create fun combos from different weapon effects on the fly. Great world exploration, genuinely deep characters with a lot of heart, and no time wasting “collect 100 golden egg” nonsense quests. After beating the game I came online to see if I missed any cool stuff - turns out everyone hates this game? And _then_ it turns out all the people who hate it haven’t even played it? Where is the hate coming from?
This game is not for everyone, but even if you dont like it you gotta admit - it has so much heart and character. Good to see these kind of games still exist.
one moment you're shooting aliens with a talking gun, the next you're in an office building, and another you're talking to a sentient visual novel character oh, and after that you're fighting a skeleton
I remember replaying an old Sierra point and click. I remembered the answer to a puzzle and just typed in the solution with out gathering the clues spread out over that part of the map. The in-game companion acts shocked that I figured out a relatively hard puzzle so fast/with no clues. Then he says... 'Wait?! Are you using a walkthrough?'
I still don’t get why so much people hate this game. It has so much personality in it, and the guns don’t just say one thing all the time to the point it’s annoying. Even my dad played the whole game and he LOVED it. Edit: I know some people don’t like the game, and it’s ok as long as they are not harassing people who do. And please don’t argue in the replies because everyone has their own opinions, and you gotta respect that.
It's the speech patterns and tone that make it annoying for me at least, but I get how people might enjoy it, the jokes seem to be funny and in clips like this one you get to see the care the devs poured into it.
The gameplay is a riot. Really blocky controls and its a chunk. Then its buggy as hell I'm surprised at the amount of bugs things thing has and was released. It should have stayed in the oven for longer. That said I've still enjoyed it but the gameplay gets tiresome and the bugs can go from a little funny to sheer annoyance to game breaking. And are bountyfull.
@@user-ic3kt1eq1p Ive seen two bugs so far and thats it, The guy in the mansion who was supposed to be spazzing on the floor stands up if you get to far away from and I fell into the river of acid weirdly and clipped through a rock, thats not that buggy.
@@samquinn4095 Either you have seen more or have been very lucky. I've floated off to space. I've respawned on the upside down of maps. I've taken damage for no reason. I have entire chunks of the game just skip. enemies phasing through the ground. Enemies dying for no reason in hordes. Thats jsut a small handful of what I've witnessed. The game has a ton of bugs.
@@user-ic3kt1eq1p Oh and an enemy got clipped into a wall on got stuck, I'm playing on xbox series s what are you playing on, maybe it's a version thing
Ah yes the usual “we pointed it out so the fact that we did makes it funny and hip” I’ve come to expect from every joke people show off proudly from this game. Good job this is going right up on the fridge!

My biggest fear starting the game was that it would end up just being Rick Sanchez like cynicism all the way but it’s actually way more positive and supportive (low key closer to a smiling friends vibe) which is a really pleasant surprise.
I was honestly expecting it to be way darker like Trover but they actually took the story seriously
well, there may not be Rick but at least we have Morty
Funny you mentioned since Zach voices a handful of characters in the game
Yeah wow it’s crazy it’s almost like it’s a totally different completely unrelated product in a completely different medium.
@@tigertamer8256 thanks, that comment is a perfect exemple of what I meant by the « Rick Sanchez like cynicism » I’m so glad we don’t find in the game.
It seems like the line get triggered when someone break sequence or something. This is interesting
maybe hitting a loading zone/checkmark without hitting a previous one. is the game linear?
@@_j_t_p_ yes kind of. You get bounties but in those bounties you get guns and certain areas in previous areas can be unlocked with the new gun mechanics. And actual story missions rely on things like jetpack and the grapple and magnetic boots etc.
@@SahilP2648 ahh gotcha thx

I like how some Speedrunnig techniques are somewhat intentional cause if the voice lines, another reason why this game is just amazing
It could just be if the playtime is unusually fast
developers could intentionally design some levels in a way to bait speed runners and if say the player clears an area that obscure but optimized way at least 3 times they're clearly trying to Speedrun and the game can register that and prompt the dialogue accordingly
they could even design a narrative around speed running
The shortcut was probably caught while beta testing but instead of patching it, they decided to leave it in and leave a little message of encouragement.
Btw, it is possible to escape from "High On Life" without grabbing the mag boots. However, it does cause some issues with the game as the text "escape from High on Life" will not go away until you do grab the boots and leave the intended way. Also, if you do escape without grabbing the boots, it will make leaving the base after killing Mr. Giblets much more difficult as the intended route requires the mag boots.
This needs a sequel
"I hope you get a world record!" that melted my heart 🤣
You can tell the devs are gamers at heart and love what they do will all the quips and dialogs in this game.
I love how they don’t get upset, and actually cheer you on !!
The fact that they even cheer you on is amazing
I absolutely had one heck of a ride in this game, loved it!
I love how supportive the game is about you speed running. It shows how much love and compassion the devs put into this game and that they would love to see the amount of time that they can beat this game. This game may not be for me, but hell, I do enjoy the content people make about this game!

I love how much detail they put into this game. they pretty much covered almost everything
That first bit of dialogue was really wholesome.
Justin Roiland speedrunning the end of his career
That last line is interesting. It honestly feels like it's meant for players who played a long time ago and remember where they're supposed to go, but not how to get there. Just from the clips I've seen, this game seems really interesting
Suit-O in context of the game knows exactly where Dr. Giblets is and did the whole time, he just wants to play detective that much.
@@boopsnoot3142 Oh, that makes more sense. Yeah, I haven't played the game at all, just seen these shorts
I'll be the first to say the humour doesn't always stick with me but I won't deny the effort, creativity and entertainment this game offers. Not the deepest game considering gameplay mechanics but it still offers a lot. I don't wanna end up like that one vtuber I saw where they went like "HaHa You GuYs GeT iT?!?! ThEy SaId StUpId ThInG WhIlE oThEr ThInG hApPeNeD!!" as if that is worthwhile critique or adds value to the comedy
u literally watch v tubers
@@fantasprite612 I Don't remember. I was just skimming through videos RUclips recommended me and just found one that also played this game. I think even the title was something obnoxious in the nature. I think it was like a quote that basically mocked the game for making a neon genesis reference.
Sounds like they did the exact same jokes this game pulls. It's like with the kid you kill, or with the boss who kills himself, they just can't not make a comment about the situation that adds nothing to it.
I haven't played most of the game yet, so what I'm about to say could be completely inaccurate, in which case I apologize, but it does not seem like the game will change
"they said stupid thing while other thing happened" is a worthwhile critique...
when that's the only joke formula in the game
I can't think of a single "joke" that isn't either being crude where other games wouldn't be, such as the tutorial guy swearing and talking about his divorce or being able to shoot the child
OR pointing out how something that's normal in other game, is actually kinda weird, like going up to random people and asking about the bounty hunter
Neither of which I'd really count as jokes, but I digress
those joke formats can be really funny if pulled off well, AND IN MODERATION
the moderation is what High on Life forgets
if they sat stupid thing while other thing happens once, some people may find it funny, some may not, that's how jokes work
if they say stupid thing while other thing happens 10 times in a row, the jokes long past its expiration date
One cake is good, but you'd throw up if you ate 99 more
TL;DR: the game makes the same jokes so many times they stop being funny
@@IHateCopperGolems Almost like how Rick and Morty is just like the same 10 jokes told slightly differently for ... what is it up to, seven seasons now?
Not even just this route, I was running through the story and it said the same thing lol
i actually got this quote when I was just jumping around tryna find cool shortcuts, and places to fight lol, just the first one tho
Majority of this games time was definitely spent on the voice acting and scripts and what not, but even with the games choppy movements and animations the pure love and effort put into everything else just makes me forget about it. This game is great, we need more games that can just have a laugh and not be so serious
well to be fasir it was made by the creator or rick and morty so its going to be much more dialog and joke heavy than good gamplay
I loved the later boss fights they got extremely hard when play on the hardest mode. Love finding all the boxes everywhere and having to go back. Knifey funny af
the bad guys getting skipped sounds hilarious. the level of work with voice acting put into anticipating what speedrunners will need to do to skip portions is next level.
honestly it would make watching a speedrun of this game worthwhile. its literally the memes of speedrunning in an actual game.
If I had to guess, there's event trigger bounds with IDs to go in order, but if you skip a few you get a chance to hear special voice lines. Super charming!
“I hope you get a world record” is the sentence that lead high on life to be the only game to not roast you for speedrunning the game
Devs put so much love into this game!! Really appreciate it!!!!
cool how they like that people speedrun instead of being anger
0:50 Morty??? Is that you? Goddamnit Morty!
This game has been in my feed and I love it! The devs definitely put a lot of work into it and I love the humor :)
What game is it
Whether you like the game or not, it is creative. It may not be for everyone but I have yet to see a game that made me feel so immersed due to how the world around you reacts to every decision you make. Made me feel like I was the main character. 75% of AAA games released today have mixed reviews and are broken beyond repair. I gotta say it was refreshing to play something that you could tell the dev's actually gave a shit about.
People get upset that this game is $60(free on gamepass & an indie dev team) but fail to realize that COD(AAA game, $70-$100) has banned over 150,000 accounts permanently for no reason. I was one of them and will never purchase a cod again in my life. I spent over $140 on a game where I got perma banned with no reason or explanation and an email saying they won't change their mind.
My point is shit on the game and price all you want but at the end of the day I know 99% of those people are coming from AAA $70+ games like COD where the devs quite literally scam/steal from their supporters.
Genius marketing if you think about it
"Just lettin' ya know" Damn I am sold on this game from this interaction. Well done game devs
Best part of this game was the warped in island/road where those two aliens are just roasting and cursing each other out. Literally put my controller down and just listened and laughed 😅🤣
Alright RUclips i watched the video. now stop putting it in my face
Did you use some sort of colour mod on your gatlians or is it like dlc or something or just the lighting?
This game is incredibly easy to break the boundaries for in some areas. They give you a high jump, some object physics and then later; a jetpack?! And they don't expect us to go where they might not want us? Haha
To their credit, they usually have collectables there, though not typically meant to be reached by complex means.
Had so much fun playing this game
I love the tone it takes, that playful "I see what you're doing there 😉" kind of tone. "You trying to speedrun? Hell yeah, my guy. Go set some records!😁"
Yep?
"You're not gonna fight us?!"
😂😂😂😂
This reminds me of Super paper mario when mario asks ''what does this A button do?'' and the npc you talk to says: The Player on thr other side knows what it is
Loved the game. I honestly think other games can take simple ideas from this game just to make theirs more enjoyable. Being able to talk to your weapon in POV was a great move and has been something I always wanted. Same with the humor
The lack of collectibles, a level system, crafting, and unneeded side missions was really nice, as well.
@@CaliMeatWagon you realize not every game has to be exactly the same ???
@@Sailflish I have a feeling you didn't understand my comment. What do you think I was said?
@@Sailflish he's actually saying he enjoyed jit having all that extra shit, as did i lol, a good game especially for someone who doesn't have all day to play like these young fortnite mfs,
@@CaliMeatWagon collectibles would have been nice
This game was awesome. Really creative, intense combat sequences akin to the newer Doom, where you’re able to create fun combos from different weapon effects on the fly.
Great world exploration, genuinely deep characters with a lot of heart, and no time wasting “collect 100 golden egg” nonsense quests.
After beating the game I came online to see if I missed any cool stuff - turns out everyone hates this game? And _then_ it turns out all the people who hate it haven’t even played it? Where is the hate coming from?
thats insane😂💯
Even gunbug gave the player a side eye after the speedrunning comment. Lol.😂
The fact that the game think it's cool to Speedrun and even hope that you get a world record is so awesome
This game breaks the fourth wall in so many ways i love it 😂😂😂😂
This game was so good that i didn't play any games for a few days just to enjoy the feeling
This game came out of nowhere and surprised me. Wasn't disappointed for a second!
I really love this game
What game is this?
@@youngggeezy676 High On Life
This game is not for everyone, but even if you dont like it you gotta admit - it has so much heart and character. Good to see these kind of games still exist.
Now to the speedrun that avoids this interjection, LOL 😂
What an awesome detail!!
The game: WHY are you running? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?
I love how they arent like "That's a bad thing" and they encourage you. Its kinda wholesome tbh
I like how the game acknowledged the things you are doing or done.
That part with the dock really reminds me of Jak 2. A wave of nostalgia.
We so definitely need more games like this. But it would be more great if they were more heartfelt, story rich, and the like.
At this point I’m convinced the game is sentient.

Thats honestly so adorable and so cool
I remember replaying an old Sierra point and click. I remembered the answer to a puzzle and just typed in the solution with out gathering the clues spread out over that part of the map. The in-game companion acts shocked that I figured out a relatively hard puzzle so fast/with no clues. Then he says... 'Wait?! Are you using a walkthrough?'
The game devs put so much love in this game-im not even into fps games but this one is an exception 👌
If you are not into FPS games then you never played the TimeSplitters trilogy

I still don’t get why so much people hate this game. It has so much personality in it, and the guns don’t just say one thing all the time to the point it’s annoying. Even my dad played the whole game and he LOVED it.
Edit: I know some people don’t like the game, and it’s ok as long as they are not harassing people who do. And please don’t argue in the replies because everyone has their own opinions, and you gotta respect that.
It's the speech patterns and tone that make it annoying for me at least, but I get how people might enjoy it, the jokes seem to be funny and in clips like this one you get to see the care the devs poured into it.
The gameplay is a riot. Really blocky controls and its a chunk. Then its buggy as hell I'm surprised at the amount of bugs things thing has and was released. It should have stayed in the oven for longer. That said I've still enjoyed it but the gameplay gets tiresome and the bugs can go from a little funny to sheer annoyance to game breaking. And are bountyfull.
@@user-ic3kt1eq1p Ive seen two bugs so far and thats it, The guy in the mansion who was supposed to be spazzing on the floor stands up if you get to far away from and I fell into the river of acid weirdly and clipped through a rock, thats not that buggy.
@@samquinn4095 Either you have seen more or have been very lucky. I've floated off to space. I've respawned on the upside down of maps. I've taken damage for no reason. I have entire chunks of the game just skip. enemies phasing through the ground. Enemies dying for no reason in hordes. Thats jsut a small handful of what I've witnessed. The game has a ton of bugs.
@@user-ic3kt1eq1p Oh and an enemy got clipped into a wall on got stuck, I'm playing on xbox series s what are you playing on, maybe it's a version thing
This game has so much detail it's insane
yet another fine addition to my "algorithm strikes again" playlist
This is such a cute little detail that I personally think all games should have.
Ah yes the usual “we pointed it out so the fact that we did makes it funny and hip” I’ve come to expect from every joke people show off proudly from this game. Good job this is going right up on the fridge!
the humor in this game is so crap if you are paying even a tiny fraction of attention to it
Ah, yes, a Family Guy reference, truly you are the arbiter of tasteful humour.
Meanwhile, Jedi Survivor: Speedrunning? We don't do that here.
