    Awesome watch. :)
    I've actually wanted for a while now to make it so that when you repel the dancer into the performer they will be dealt damage. May drop it on top of the upcoming DLC to make such runs and the boss fight in general a bit more engaging. We've already expanded on some existing boss fights so may as well!

    Technically you can claim complete innocence, as every enemy you encountered with more than 1 hp literally had to make the conscious decision to get half sucked into a black hole after striking you and keep attacking instead of just giving up. Neat.

    I really appreciate that you take your time to explain parts of the games super well to where they make sense to people who have never touched them, even though you yourself have likely beaten them already. It makes the videos a lot easier to watch and the challenges easier to follow. Also, it makes the games seem really interesting, like this one for example! Grime looks very cool for what it is.

  • @K1llerKreal
    @K1llerKreal 2 роки тому +176

    Grime is a gem and just an amazing game. I had a lot of fun while playing through it and might consider doing the same challenge because of you now : D
    On a side note: Whenever enemies are flashing yellow actually indicates that you could pull on them like the interactives in the world. With a perk, this would even damage them. So more times to deal damage without a weapon.
    I understand that this can't help you now anymore Lemon, since you finished already but for anyone out there who like me feels tested to try this now, I am sure it will come in handy.

      Sadly the cracked pot system makes a pure fire bomb run nigh impossible because you can't stock enough fire bombs to finish fights and you can't craft new ones *during* fights. Might be find for open world stuff, just run away until they de-aggro and then craft new pots and go back and bonk them with them, but actual fog wall bosses are going to be prrooooblematic.

Some bosses might still be pretty impossible, like I don't think you could juice hard enough to kill Rykard with your 20 pots, and even Rennala's mechanics might stonewall progress, but if enough damage can be pulled together for Radahn it might be possible. Still seems pretty ouch, though.

    You know, mandatory actions shouldn't count against your challenges. If the game *forces* you to use something, then it isn't your choice. So anything that outright bars progression, like requiring you to hit an enemy during a run like this, wouldn't end the run.
    That's just my two cents, though.

At that time, photorealistic humans were impossible, so the only way to avoid uncanny valley was to go completely nuts.
