Відео

I guess since this is the closest I've made a video to being scripted, it probably seems a bit more fake. I wrote a script to get my thoughts out, but I hate scripts so much I ended up just free balling most of the video anyways haha. Either way, I appreciate the input on Asmon!

Hate? What about complimenting a person honestly has anything to do with hate? Did you stop watching after 5 seconds?

I think his honesty is definitely one of his best traits.

i came across his video 3-4 months ago. and been watching since then. and if i could id just make a compilation of videos where he was philosophical. if you collect all the data. you may even an entire book on philosophy of Asmongold.

Agreed and his voice is good too.

I had to look up Diogenes, but after reading briefly about him, I think you have an interesting point. His "say it like it is" attitude can be pretty refreshing.

Luckily I haven't had to deal with that and hopefully I never will. That is absolutely horrendous.

I think as long as gearbox actually fixes up the bugs rn, then I'm definitely glad they bought the IP. If they don't then I'm not too sure, because beforehand not having nearly any bugs in the game was pretty nice, but at the same time, the new content is great. I'm also not sure how long Gearbox will really make use of the IP. I hope they'll make good use of it and am pretty sure they'll keep making content for a while (if they recover from this DLC). Also, the game has nearly 200,000 reviews on steam, I definitely think its large enough to condone long term usage of the IP. Hopefully these answers can help with your curiosity haha :)

For the buggy mess it is, 15 is a bit much. If it wasn't buggy, I think 15 would be fair.

@@lynxishd9587 I started playing I believe a month or so after that dlc came out so I didn't know it came out buggy but either way it shouldn't of happened in either case. Especially to this extent but I hope it all gets fixed up soon as you said.

@@TheStratRat I see, but yea thats true, it’s super frustrating for a community so deprived of content. I can’t wait to play the ps5 version when the update is free as promised, cause rn it’s still $25.

It wasn't fundamentally broken like this one was though, it goes beyond just bugs

I don't think the consumers are to blame to want something to come out sooner. It comes down to the company in the end. But you're right about the code for sure. It is very difficult to work on code that you weren't a part of from the beginning. Another example of this would be Helldivers 2. They're update fiascos tend to come down to the fact the guy who did a lot of the core systems isn't there anymore.

@@TheStratRat there is a lot of cases where the fact that the consumers wanted an earlier release caused the higher ups to want to fasten the dev proses causing crunch, this is the same case and this wont stop happening for a long time, maybe is not 100% blame to the consumers but it is a big part of the problem to say the least

​@@johancito16345 Can you point to any cases where something was reasonably delayed (lets say not more than a year) where the negative effect of the delay verifiably outweighed the added time working on it. It feels like people may say they are impatient, but time and time again they will eagerly wait for game drops (see elden and its DLC), and respond well to a good product, where if something does come out sooner but worse, there are more complaints. As a layman, it seems that studios should know that a better product trumps a quicker release 9/10 (10/10?) times.

Blaming the consumer is a crazy take ngl

@@XXETU972 nah you tweaking, leave my multi-milion company alone

Let's hope they can fix up some of the major bugs soon so we can go back to enjoying the game we love to the fullest

I rather just play SOTV as a functional game.

A while back a youtuber broke down that more items and interactable isn't what Risk of Rain needed. This is why the void items are so popular because they don't bloat the item pool by introducing corruption mechanics. This DLC should have focused on doing the same thing, because we already have a strong item pool but all the additions they made just fall flat. They all come off as half baked and only really meet mod item standards.

Yeah, right now most of the bugs don't completely break the game other than Mithrix and the underground one. So it is mostly playable and I'll definitely continue playing it. It just takes me out of it a bit when I see at least one strange bug per world I teleport too. Either way though I definitely feel for the console players as well. While our boat is taking in a bit of water, theirs' has pretty much sunk at the moment.

@TheStratRat I remember the days where I would get on xbox after the moon update and my save data was gone. I did so many one runs on commando it's not even funny 💀

Ehhh, maybe. I think all the new content is cool, but if I can't play the game without running into constant bugs it does make me question if I would rather just play pre dlc.

It's not though, these bugs are included with the free update, so you can't just opt out of buying it to avoid the issues

The bar is literally at the floor then lol

I hate this argument. You can't say "better than nothing " at a free update for a game that made the game objectively buggier, let alone a paid DLC. We paid for content, we got content, content we can barely play through.

To be fair, I bought the dlc on the same day and play on switch, but I understand where you guys are coming from.

Also im not disregarding anybody who has an issue with these bugs, but don't just hate gearbox because they're here on day one

I personally have no problem with gearbox and had high hopes. My main problem is that they released the game in a state that is obviously very buggy. A bit of playtesting should've made that clear. It is 100 percent expected to have bugs on launch, but there are just so many. I think its questionable that they released it in this state. Overall though, I agree with the sentiment of not hating gearbox just because they're gearbox. I still have some hope they'll fix it up (hopefully they don't squander that haha).

@@TheStratRat that's true, there are too many bugs that they should've found during playtesting, especially the issues on console The console bugs are especially egregious

@@Mystician13 I really can't believe they sold the dlc with the console bugs rn. Those bugs are atrocious.

I mean, when you get unfinished product it is in place in my opinion to point them out and not to be fond of them. The DLC as it is is a mess, and accepting that with mindset of "oh most games have bugs when released" digs bigger hole for consumers by accepting this as a new standard. Gearbox worked for their reputation for years, so to be honest, don't expect big improvement for the dlc, or not a fast one, because this company is getting only worse and it peaked at borderlands 2.

Nice. At least someone gets a chance to play haha. On my end there are so many bugs its crazy. Still playable in most cases, but buggy nonetheless.

Then you are extremely lucky.

The only similarity between the two bosses is they both carry a blunt weapon

Every time I have fought him I've killed him too quickly to really get a good look at his phases/animations so I don't have a whole lot of input on that yet.

it is far better than voidling imo. Mithrix is still the most fun tho

This whole DLC feels like an asset flip of *Risk of Rain Hostile Worlds*

@@ralphclearwater9777 how do you figure, we had almost no idea what was in hostile worlds outside of some gacha system Not to mention a different studio was making hostile worlds

I used to play mul-t all the time and never ran into it before. Maybe I just got lucky beforehand because post dlc I ran into it every time I got frozen

But they did change pre existing stuff. Like Acrid's Utility move doesn't collide with enemies anymore. I prefer is they just added new stuff and kept the old stuff the same

@@bath4437 i mean that might just be a bug, on Console acrid's leap didnt collide unless you had enough movement speed to cause the actual collision similar to Mercenary's boop on flying enemies. So that might just be universal now

When I was playing I noticed a few things they did change from the base game, such as prayer beads being a green item now instead of a lunar item (EDIT: I mixed up items so ignore the prayer beads bit). I do agree though, that likely is part of the issue. I don't think they can really go back and change a whole lot without upsetting a portion of the player base. Another issue I bet they're having is the obvious of all of the devs being new to the game's code. Working on code made by another person can be incredibly difficult and a lack of understanding can cause issues to pop up in areas they wouldn't expect.

Except they reverted the change Hopoo made to the void cells. On release Void Cells didnt tick the time, so going there ASAP was mandatory every run because it was free power. Hopoo changed it to tick time to balance it but added chests and printers to it to make it fair. Gearbox reverted it to not ticking the time but left the chests and printers, so its stronger than ever.

@@TheStratRat Prayer Beads and Beads of Fealty are two different items that do very different things

to be fair enemy spawns having this long pauses was also in base game and last dlc, but yeah, it is a little funny how gearbox can't get things right in case of items, animations and balancing of new survivors and getting things to a playable state

After I posted this I did see more about how console is mega screwed over rn with the update. It is really sucky. Hopefully that'll get fixed soon.

PS5 is as much screwed.
