@@mst4705 the choice that popped near the end says you can slaughter the remaining seals to get a huge boost in food, or sacrifice the elders to reduce food requirements. I chose neither because we had food under control.
It is definitely a good day. Been a horrible year for me so far and this really made my day. I ended up forgetting Frostpunk 2 was coming, so this was a welcome surprise. Thank you for the start of what seems to be another Oddsome playthrough 👍🏽
Answering your question. When I was younger, every game was set to max difficulty immediately, and I'd just accept punishment as I Got Gud. I'm Fitty now, and nowadays, I choose what I feel may be most enjoyable. The more action oriented the game is, the more likely I am to choose normal or even story if it's supposed to be really difficult. For turn based tactics, prolly veteran. I don't play RTS games anymore...got Starcraft nightmares, but if I were to play an RTS, normal would be my choice at first. I find that I tend to enjoy games the most that have no difficulty settings. They seem to be balanced around all people having fun and being challenging to win/clear for everyone without being unfair. Best example I can think of is Monster Hunter.
I like these first few minutes already. Frostpunk 2 does the best thing a sequel can do: Expand on the original in new, interesting and meaningful ways. We have survived the initial frost, now we must advance into thriving.
Hello, Mister Odd! I’m a new fan coming with much love! Throwback time. I just finished watching your first Play through of the Witcher 2. And I’m glad to see your channel still going strong over a decade later! I’m about to start watching your second one, soon to start the Witcher 3 myself, so I can enjoy your let’s play, of that game. Probably my favorite part of your videos is how you try to read every note and character entry in the game! I’m a big fan of Podcasts and audiobooks, so being able to get Witcher lore through my ears, instead of reading it myself, does so much for me. I also adore how logical your thought process is, also your “Canadianess” is super charming, and hilarious at times lol. For you, I have one question that you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. What's something that you would tell yourself back in those days if you had the chance? Or any time in the past, for that matter? You know, something you wish you had known back then. Much respect, and admiration coming outa Kentucky.
I found Odd back in the day when he did Witcher 1 playthrough (I'm scared to check how long ago that was, but probably close to a decade now!) and I had the same thoughts. Odd is an intelligent player, who loves immersion and is thorough in his gaming. This also results in him amassing a fairly intelligent audience who in turn create a great community. Some of Odd's other LPs I'd recommend would be Xcom (season 9 is currently running) and Darkest Dungeon. At least these are my personal favourites.
Depends on the type of game I'm playing, something like this I would go with normal as I want to know what I have to do first, sequel or not... but for RPGs with third or first person, I would start of with hard as I want to have a challange or I'm used to that type of game. Otherwise, if it is too hard, I would go to normal.
I like to go 2nd hardest difficulty. If you start too easily you can pick up bad habits. Plus it usually makes the game last longer if it's more challenging.
I think Elsa is my favorite cold mascot. If I forget about songs being overplayed, I really loved it, her experience resonated with me to a degree, and it was my sister's favorite. Lol, looking forward to seeing this series! I don't like how difficult the choices are in these games, so I don't want to play, but I'm going to love watching you do so! Good luck, Steward Odd.
I'm quite happy that you choose the options you choose (no sacrifice of elders, no seal slaughter, victory). It was fun watching you achieve success here. Honestly victory is more fun for me then added difficulty so on new games I start at either the level they suggest or the easier level if it makes more sense.
I really love watching your videos there so entertaining. First time I discovered you in the darkest dungeon 2 then frostpunk then rest. I watch your videos in ever night shift because of you. You made my night shift less stressful. Thanks for everything and keep up good work. Looking forward to you next videos and now frostpunk 2 😁
broo... I was literally thinking about this game yesterday thinking I wanted to watch a frostpunk 2 playthrough. Not knowing it wasn't even released yet, I saw some gameplay a while back so I thought it was out already. So happy to see my favorite youtuber kick of a playthrough today, going to watch in bed and probably fall asleep in 5 minutes buttttt I'll watch it tomorrow when I come home haha. Anyway, glad to see you're doing well after surgery aswell
Odd: sacrifice old people??? We don't do that here..... we only sacrifice children to the mines!!!!! (frostpunk 1) lmaoooo excited for this series!!!!!
Personally if I'm playing a new game I start off on easy until I learn the controls and mechanics then I will switch to normal difficulty and play the game all the way through
The difficulty choice question: I usually go with the hardest option that I think I will handle, but just barely so. In Frostpunk 2, I went with Steward (3/4) and I'm enjoying it so far. In games like this, if I'm not constantly in a crisis management mode I feel like I'm missing something.
2:52 Eh… I usually just play on normal difficulty when getting into sequels of games i already played for the very first time, as I kinda want to vibe to the setting and story as intended by the devs, ya know?
i'm liking the move to days and weeks, the kids are actually going to grow up and be more then a number on a sheet that does nothing (if you're playing a morally good person)
I really like when youtubers know how to play the game, instead of waisting time in the vid trying to figure it out. Xcom is diferent due to having to figure the best outcome based on the random.
I always go easy on the difficulty first time playing any kind of strategy game. I want to be able to learn the mechanics and make some mistakes without being punished too hard. Then I crank it up with each playthrough until I tap out. Never could beat L/I XCOM, did a C/I run though. Beat an easy campaign and I'm strolling through an officer one now on FP2. Loving it.
Also, for every new game I always choose the difficulty above "normal". If the devs put a bunch of work into games mechanics, then I want to play on a difficulty that fully utilizes them. Usually that isn't the case for lower difficulties.
I tend to play games on higher difficulties because it's more engaging. That said I found 2 had too much micro but wasn't super challenging to complete the story.
I'm sorry, someone killed the captain? The dude who made all those grueling decisions to make sure that we survived the great storm?? THEY JUST KILLED HIM?? That man was (subjectively) a HERO! THE INJUSTICE!
I usually play either on an easy or normal difficulty. I'm in for fun and plot, not combat and challenges. The easier, the better, because sometimes the easiest mode is also too difficult for me.. When I have enough experience in the game or if it feels too easy, I can dive into a higher difficulty, but I am never, ever into a challenge. Leave that to those who like to suffer. I'm not one of those people when it comes to one of my favourite activity ever, which is video games. UPD: Unless! There's an achievement I want to go for that requires a certain difficulty. Which is rare, I usually get to know the game first and then try earning the achievements/perfect the game.
In a Sequel. I go up a difficulty if the mechanics are the same but just a couple new bells and whistles. I do normal difficulty if they change the main mechanics.
I love your videos, I love Frostpunk 2 and I want to see more. Let me backseat for a second. Technically, you are doing the district neighbour bonus wrong. 13:00 With the housing district for instance, the entire district gets the generator bonus, if only 3 tiles of the housing district touch the generator... Meaning, you should not just look at having the districs adjacent, you should also focus on having them EXACTLY 3 tiles adjacent, so more districs can get the bonus by touching more districs. I hope I explained it in an understandable way, english is not my first language xD okay bye :D
Intrigued by this game, always thought the 1st game looked good but never dove in, xcom2 being my fav game and Odd being my fav creator for that means i now have a solid springboard into this game. Lets see if after a couple of vids i get the itch to play myself like i did with xcom2…
When it comes to playing a sequel for a game, I'll play on the highest difficulty I managed to complete the previous one on....not always with success lol.
I think you misunderstood how the heat adjacency works. If you fill the 3 bars of adjacency bonus, the bonus applies then to the entire district. So it's not required to have all 6 housing tiles adjacent to heat bonus tiles. At least that's how I understood it while playing the game.
Every game i play if it has difficulty levels i always start one harder than normal. Usually i do 2 playthroughs the 1st one for the story and the 2nd for achievements or things i forgot to do in the 1st playthrough. Ever since god of war 3 came out it was always how i did things.
The difficulty level for me really depends on the game. If the game is in any way supposed to be hard - it's "easy" all the way! I'm pretty stressed IRL now, so I really don't need the extra stress 😂

I say we just sacrifice em all 😅
You were suppose to be the chosen one.

Chosen Warlock lmao@@Kreence
@@11bitstudios Oops, you weren't supposed to see that ;)
Finally, someone who can complete tutorial without slaughtering seals, killing old people or dying, Thanks Odd
Save em all but put the kids to work right?
I did it on officer, but you have to restart it a few times.
He built food district over seals, so I don't understand what you mean without slaughtering seals.
@@mst4705 the choice that popped near the end says you can slaughter the remaining seals to get a huge boost in food, or sacrifice the elders to reduce food requirements. I chose neither because we had food under control.
Steward Odd, we must not let the city fall!!!
Stuart!!
You're not truly Frostpunking until you are feeding the baby seals INTO the generator!
@@StrategicPlanner13 to be fair seals have quite thick fat layer so they will burn nicely
It is definitely a good day. Been a horrible year for me so far and this really made my day. I ended up forgetting Frostpunk 2 was coming, so this was a welcome surprise. Thank you for the start of what seems to be another Oddsome playthrough 👍🏽

YESSSSSSS! He's doing it, he's playing Frostpunk 2!!!!!
GOOD JOB>>>can't wait for DDR JAKE to get the children working in the mines again..:)
Can't wait for that wonderful soylent white run
Oh my goodness ! Yes ! Yes! The Benevolent ruler odd certainly wont to any work to uh under the age limit children lol !
Always start on hardest difficulty that one could possibly manage, and learn through failure and suffering. That’s how you get good in a game.
My youtube feed got flooded with frostpunk 2😂
So excited!
As a general rule for myself, I usually play on one difficulty higher than normal to start especially sequels
Finally, thank you Odd
Oh HELL yeah
I think Elsa is my favorite cold mascot. If I forget about songs being overplayed, I really loved it, her experience resonated with me to a degree, and it was my sister's favorite.
Lol, looking forward to seeing this series! I don't like how difficult the choices are in these games, so I don't want to play, but I'm going to love watching you do so! Good luck, Steward Odd.
I have been waiting for you to play this and I couldn't be more excited!!!!!!!!!! Let's GOOOOOOO Odd!!!!!
I mean, I guess you could say that ice cream is my personal favorite "cold mascot." Thanks for the video, Odd.
Cant wait to see your gameplay on this odd, good luck!
Looking forward to this playthrough! The world of Frostpunk was so innovative, can’t wait to see how it has expanded
Frostpunk is one of my favorite games, can't wait to play the new one!
I'm quite happy that you choose the options you choose (no sacrifice of elders, no seal slaughter, victory). It was fun watching you achieve success here. Honestly victory is more fun for me then added difficulty so on new games I start at either the level they suggest or the easier level if it makes more sense.
And now I'm waiting for the next video
Hell yeah a new game is for me to watch you play. Can’t wait for more.
Glad that I waited, and didn’t watch the opening scene on my phone. Definitely sets the vibe
Very excited for this series. I love the mythos for this game. Snowpiercer meets Civilization.
this was awesome looking forward to more
Cant wait to watch the rest of the series, i liked watching you play Frostpunk
I'm so glad it's finally Frostpunk time! Get those children out there breaking that ice! Stewart Odd! /s *Steward
Hi Odd! I'm really excited for this series! I hope yoi have a lot of fun playing it!
Looking forward to this. The first one was cool
I really love watching your videos there so entertaining. First time I discovered you in the darkest dungeon 2 then frostpunk then rest. I watch your videos in ever night shift because of you. You made my night shift less stressful. Thanks for everything and keep up good work. Looking forward to you next videos and now frostpunk 2 😁
Nice job! I’m sure the challenge will greatly increase after the introductory tutorial, so good luck man.
loved the first one super stoked for your playthrough on this one lets go
I played a ton of the first Frostpunk game and this looks fantastic. I'm looking forward to this play through
That was a great start to the series. Looking forward to watching the rest after work.
Best cold mascot is the penguin of course. Toodles 😉

Finally its here been waiting for an ice age for this game😂😊
Hands down one of my favourite franchises of all time. Hope FP2 lives up to the first :D
Cold mascot? Bumbles Bounce!
Really looking forward to this game. The larger scale is daunting, but the narrative elements seem to have come through from Frostpunk 1 just fine.
You’re more merciful than I am. I would have been…time for the elders to take that great frosty walk into the void. NO FREE LOADERS!
It's finally back!!
It's back!! WOOHOO!
Letting you know that the frostpunk playlist is out of order. Keep up the good (odd) work
Captain is dead, Stewart Odd, we have been waiting for you..
Steward
"Stewart" is a name, "steward" is a title
Those swirly trailing indicators are making me think of tentacled cosmic horrors!
Odd: sacrifice old people??? We don't do that here..... we only sacrifice children to the mines!!!!! (frostpunk 1) lmaoooo excited for this series!!!!!
I haft to wait until tomorrow to play it, I'm so excited.
Excited for this. I won’t get a chance to play so can do it vicariously
I'd say we dont sacrifice anything and brin me some xcomm😊
Was I waiting all day for this video to drop?
Most certainly! :D
Thank you, sir!
Personally if I'm playing a new game I start off on easy until I learn the controls and mechanics then I will switch to normal difficulty and play the game all the way through
You can’t make everyone happy. Just pick a side and try not to die !

You need a snowy time mascot? Look no further than Bonhomme Carnaval; a respected Quebec tradition!

I saw the earlier time drop of XCOM 2 and wonder if you scheduled it incorrectly but now I see why and am looking forward to it.
Civilization under the storm...
John Carpenter's "The Thing" is my cold mascot.

Hi as always love your stuff. Is it possible to zoom in when starting work on a new project? Think it would be more immersive viewing.
yesssss
finally its here
In a Sequel. I go up a difficulty if the mechanics are the same but just a couple new bells and whistles. I do normal difficulty if they change the main mechanics.
Imagine playing and open world game where you have that entire city to explore.
I almost always play my initial play-through of a game on the standard difficulty, as that is the intended experience by the designers.
Only read the title, XCOM viewer here. Sacrificing the Elders seems legit to me, they took over the world after all
Seals are cuter than old people, right? Soooo... I think you found your solution.
nice

40mins? What a tease. Minimum 2hrs for an LP opener. 😁
Here we go
Might adjust the playlist a little. It goes 4, 3, 2, 1, 5, 6.
Game: We survived the whiteout
Also Game: -290 required heat

Any game that starts out with a Marius (Diablo 2) lookalike has my vote
