    5:52 Agreed. So many bland games from AAA...
    COD is the exact same game every year, Battlefield is COD but slightly different, Assassin's Shmeed became a grind-a-thon, open world games with generic questing and base raids are all the exact same game but with different models, it's so dull. Indie games though? Now that's where experimentation and ideas can flourish.
    24:30 And with no dislike button, now it's harder to see who the fools are. I mean, unless you get the extension that puts dislikes back. So, that's pog.

    Oh here me out. Have a chest on the ground ready, but don't open it. Have a level 8 pentagram thing. At 30 minutes JUST as dracula spawns in, walk into the chest and get the pentagram upgrade. This will activate the ability, possibly killing dracula?
    Fully upgraded, pentagrams cool down is one minute. NL had his trigger at :22 every minute so he would just need to last 20 more seconds with dracula

    • @melvin5096
      @melvin5096 2 года назад +78

      It's not Dracula, it's Death. And Death has no hp. And IIRC every 30 secs~1minute past 30mins spawns 1 more Death so even if the pentagram deleted him more would spawn. I've seen many people stall till like 32 minutes by using the Freezing Lancelet but you can't beat him since the Dev hasn't added anything more past 30 mins.
      Also Pentagram has no evolution, so if he got it to Level 8 It would never appear as a selection, it'd need to be 7 for the plan to work, since once you max items they never appear unless they have evolution available if you have the needed passive item. Else you only get the option to choose 25 gold or a chicken for 30 hp every level up once you're maxed.

    Yea DMC 2 was really bad but from DMC 3 onwards the series got their full charm going instead of kinda being a resident evil bootleg. DmC reboot is a bit weird in comparison to the main series though. Would be pretty cool if you did a playthrough of 3 and beyond, DMC 2 story isn't really important but DMC 3 explains why Dante recognizes Vergil in DMC 1 since it's a prequel.

    I love the roast of crappy content on youtube during the mid part. It's so sad but true. And worst of all? RUclips removing the dang dislike counter so people watching that type of horrible content that gives bad advice can't be immediately flagged that it's straight up bad advice by looking at the number. It used to be an immediate cue in that something was fishy if a video has more dislikes than likes. Not anymore. It heckin blows. It wastes so much of my time now watching crap content that fries my brain instead of being able to zip through videos skipping all the sketchy disliked ones until I found something worthwhile. Still salty about the change if you can't tell.
