He's so right about what he talked about in the beginning. We are too scared to play games wrong nowadays, not getting the perfect build, not getting the right ending etc. It diminishes the experience. I just realised this recently, I need to start playing games blind again to have the best experience. I haven't done that in so long and it's sad.
This is the main reason devs have streamlined games BTW. They are super afraid people don't get to a satisfying end so they cut out every part that leads to what could be interpreted as a dissatisfying end
His point on gamers being afraid of playing wrong is SO true among those that are deep into the gaming zeitgeist. I had to force myself a few years back to change the way I looked at games and in turn learned to love them once again (I was starting to think I hated gaming because of it). Just pick up a game and go. If you don't beat it, doesn't matter. If you suck, doesn't matter. You can pick up and put down games at your whim. Play for fun and meet the game where it is. If it presents a choice, make the choice yourself based on your time with it (and yes I'm looking at you talent trees). Just enjoy.
Agreed! About 2 years ago now I finally said enough was enough and deleted reddit, deleted facebook and just played games. If I liked the game, awesome! If I didn't, oh well move on. Turns out, without social media telling me what is good and bad, I fell in love with sooo many games. Partially because I went in with only my opinion, and partially because I played them how I enjoyed them. It really hit home when I was talking to my brother in law and he said the reason he hadn't touched one of his games yet is because "No one plays it anymore" like... bro... why does it matter if people aren't playing a single player game anymore?
I love how his picture/shelf line up almost perfectly with the background in that last boss room. Fun little accidental pattern or incredible divining from the Egg Lord.
if anything is truly unhinged in all the years I've watched NL it's his food takes. He is just a real oddity. And also speaks like an authority on it. Very comedic.
This is actually an amazing idea. I hope he revisits it with actual focus when it comes out, could have potential to be a great series. I can see why he zoned out though, every turn just being "drop the claw wherever, see what happens" no matter what is going on probably makes it easy to tune out the game when bantering with chat. Just gotta lock in sliiiightly more and this could be gold.
Isnt the "puzzle of the claw machine" that they're rigged to have no grip strength until the machine has taken whatever amount of money the operator requires before a win is allowed?
Not all of them. Some the claw is just always set to be weak so you slowly maneuver the item over multiple plays. Some are odd in shape and are designed to be hard to catch the item. Others, surprisingly, aren't rigged but the prizes are subpar.
scoured comments for the bach recognition. thank you! listen to jean rondeau’s rendition at the highest quality possible to hear the floor resonate with the period cello. absolutely otherworldly playing on period instruments.
i can suspend my disbelief for a one armed anthropomorphic rabbit fighting slimes but a claw machine that actually picks up items from the claw pit? too much
I love the banter but it drives me insane when he completely stops the gameplay for no reason. My guy, you already lined up the claw machine. You can click the button while you talk
this reminds me very slightly of Luck Be A Landlord, with the gambling being what builds the deck. great potential in the game and great points in the banter.
When he completely ignores the fact he is being attacked for massive amounts of damage in order to grab the bomb it kills me inside... 44 damage and he only grabs damage items...
Ya NGL this seems like a game someone made because they saw that "StS mixed with ____" roguelikes were selling well, not because they had any real passion. It feels really uninspired.
That bit about the fear of playing games right, and back in the day not doing builds in Diablo... that hit me. That's the reason I can't stand playing online games anymore. You don't run the meta build and you get stomped. Biggest reason I've really stepped away from gaming media like reddit or guide youtube channels. I always felt like I was playing wrong.
I’m trying to kill my creeping fomo for elden ring… because I’m still working on dragons dogma… and like I just want to enjoy the games at my own pace. But I also want to play stuff when it comes out. The dichotomy of man
next hottest rogue like: Slay the Spire but a pinball machine also this game looks like an absolute snooze fest. I don't think I could have intentionally made a game more boring then this
It's everybody's favorite time of the year, the time nobody plays any of the demos then a bunch of nonsense comes out nobody but content creators play for a day
Wrong, plenty of people play them, how else do they get rated in the store, sounds like you just don't participate because you don't want to but try to make it sound true for everyone else
I understand the impulse of making a game that is like Balatro but instead of poker it's (in this case) claw machines, but even moreso than that ill conceived roulette game this very obviously has no legs on it at all.
this is such a strange mindset people were comparing every game that's X but it's a rougelike to peglin when it came out, or to any other good rougelike with that template and now balatro takes the mantle just because balatro put almost everything in its demos doesn't mean other games have to do the same shit man
You can't just start comparing every roguelike/lite that comes out to Balatro just because Balatro did something different with gameplay, suddenly games can't be different anymore because one game was different?
“I try not to give too much life advice here”
Why does he lie
He TRIES. Imagine if he didn't. Life advice up your ass
well maybe he's genuinely trying.
but you're right tho, he's not succeeding
The purpose of the streamer is what it does
He's so right about what he talked about in the beginning. We are too scared to play games wrong nowadays, not getting the perfect build, not getting the right ending etc. It diminishes the experience. I just realised this recently, I need to start playing games blind again to have the best experience. I haven't done that in so long and it's sad.
I know people who avoid even updates, social media ruins your personal play experience, IMHO.
I forgot how to have fun in Hitman, just trying to get the perfect score. It's so much more fun to just screw around first.
Just played through Insryption blind and it was a very nice playthrough.

Can't believe he finally pulled off a claw deck
30:00 NL making fun of the chatter who confused Fruit roll up with Fruit by the foot, while immediately after getting the 2 confused himself.
Finally someone employing the time stamp
there is a demo of a scrabble roguelike. Chat - what are you doing not telling him about it?
Bruh, he already played half of Cryptmaster.

As someone who has never won anything from a claw machine I find this game to be a dream.
27:40 NL had to correct himself to not reveal the secret Big Mole is paying him to hide
Hey NL you’ve been a staple in my life for at least 6 years atp. I’m almost halfway thru grad school. Thanks for always being there 🥲
I started watching NL in 8th grade and I’ve stuck with it on and off since. I’m going into my senior year of uni. Life comes at you fast
if anything is truly unhinged in all the years I've watched NL it's his food takes. He is just a real oddity. And also speaks like an authority on it. Very comedic.
Variety, we are soo fucking back!
we're never getting the rest of crypmaster bruh😞😞
I think the mis-ordering of it killed the views
Too bad, he was pretty close to the end
Still waiting for the end aswell...
But hey, got those 200 episodes of poker 2 💀
@@Vario69 we're balatro guys, of course we're up to date on NL's balatro playlist
NL has been old man yelling at cloud for a long time, but this one was his piece de resistance.

I seriously want to stand and applaud that Diablo 2 rant. I miss the days when actually playing the game the was the fun part. Especially with ARPGs.
We cannot let Dan Gheesling discover this game the gamba will consume him
7:34 idk about others but for me its a thing of wasting time playing the game some way when i can just do something

Also there being no sound effects with the combat or anything makes it kind of not engaging but Id still love to play
Isnt the "puzzle of the claw machine" that they're rigged to have no grip strength until the machine has taken whatever amount of money the operator requires before a win is allowed?
yes.

Does that game have music but no sound effects? Hard to stay locked in when there's no sound effects
the "WHATTTT" triggered my fight or flight
18:29 4 hour jenny nicholson video breaking down the history of the iraq war
When NL read out the arrow to the knee joke I had to double check that wasn't actually what it said and I'm so glad it wasn't
The Bach soundtrack goes so hard

I love the banter but it drives me insane when he completely stops the gameplay for no reason. My guy, you already lined up the claw machine. You can click the button while you talk

Anybody know what picture he is talking about at 15:50?
The guy is called Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, his Wikipedia entry has the pic

great potential in the game and great points in the banter.

As a Dota 2 player I frikken love when NL spouts a random dota reference 47:33
My potato is in the shape of a klein bottle, how do i find the inside nl?

They taste good, take 2 seconds to make, and have decent protein.

Agree. Minmaxing kills the fun in games
Man I just love NL banter so must man is the wrong kinda enlightened
Anyone know if he will continue/finish cryptmaster?
Some concepts done need to get passed the drawing baord
all deck builders that punish you for taking items suck and the devs have the stats for it
sometimes you can tell a game started as a name and then worked backwards - not that that's a bad thing
So, no chicken bake?

hi tomo
Hello Tomofer
Seems like a fun game, the music makes me want to rip my ears off.
This game is so fun def a buy
not slay the spire as the listed game on RUclips 😢
next hottest rogue like: Slay the Spire but a pinball machine
also this game looks like an absolute snooze fest. I don't think I could have intentionally made a game more boring then this
GOD I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that
Game is actually quite fun even if simple
backpack battles the squeakquel
this feels like a mobile game
If you're looking for different games to try, Void Tyrant is a blackjack deckbuilder that is pretty dang addictive
His advice is all good except for what he thinks is good in slay the spire
Lip-Sync Challenge, whatever happened there 👋🏽
Has NL played pokerogue? I feel like he would love it
It's everybody's favorite time of the year, the time nobody plays any of the demos then a bunch of nonsense comes out nobody but content creators play for a day
Wrong, plenty of people play them, how else do they get rated in the store, sounds like you just don't participate because you don't want to but try to make it sound true for everyone else
First and last appearance.
This game is so freaking good; just played for like 3 hours straight. I think NL is responsible for 1/3 of my game library at this point... 😅
Yayyyy
This game is super interesting
I understand the impulse of making a game that is like Balatro but instead of poker it's (in this case) claw machines, but even moreso than that ill conceived roulette game this very obviously has no legs on it at all.
My 13 hours in the Demo of this game begs to differ. It might not go quite as hard as Balatro, but it is a top-tier game in my opinion.
this is such a strange mindset
people were comparing every game that's X but it's a rougelike to peglin when it came out, or to any other good rougelike with that template and now balatro takes the mantle
just because balatro put almost everything in its demos doesn't mean other games have to do the same shit man
@@iconica9516 The term you're looking for is roguelight, meta progression is antithetical to a roguelike.
@@iamjeramy Some people play slot machines for thousands of hours, and you are entitled to your opinion.

Play the game
This game blows
nl cant believe people actually think the sopranos sucks
All I can go on is hearsay. Haven't watched it myself, but the few to bring it to my attention say it was good.
I didn’t like it that much but I guess I couldn’t say it sucks
it insists upon itself lois
looks like a furry made the art.
true, based
The irony of NL not being anti-car, but praising a glorified iPad glued to a static bike is actually hilarious
