Beating tutorial bosses:
Devil May Cry 5: "Good, you won. The End"
Demon's Souls: "You think you're slick, don't you?" (kills you anyway in different way)
Sekiro: (alternate cutscene)
Returnal: "OK, you beat it. Now keep going"
ghost of Tsushima: "i am unkillable"
@@sakissemer4366 Are you talking about when he is fighting on the bridge and only does the jump attack because of "invincibility frames"?
I loved DMC5 for that.
Ghost of Tsushima: "No you won't, he's immortal!!"
To be honest, I wouldn't even know about it if I didn't watch it on UA-cam. I got my ass handed to me, just like the game wanted.
Imagine if u actually can kill khotun Khan and the credits just role in ghost of tsushima...
Should've been like that...
Yeah but nope. He literally just wont die
Or Jedi Order where the first boss just leaves and your newly found friends "save you" 😤
You can shoot evil general in Modern warfare during tutorial and the game ends with your victory :)
Lol dude I literally just had the same thought watching this video. I was going to comment but you beat me to it.
When you keep playing a game in your head, you know it's good. SUPER ADDICTIVE!
It is magnificent indeed:)). Edge of tomorrow plus alien plus predator
This is tru cuz of this game I got a huge PS5 backlog now cuz I just couldn't put the damn game down
facts
This game is designed to demonstrate the PS5 sleep mode feature.
@FRUYAKI he means more faster and smooth , ps4 sometimes crashes😔
@FRUYAKI Its sarcasm... The only way to keep playing this game without losing your progress is to put the console in sleep mode and use it for nothing other than Returnal.
@FRUYAKI /woooosh
@@curtydc in one particular run* and every boss killed unlocks a shortcut past that boss for future runs**
@FRUYAKI It must suck having no humor in that tiny brain
Took me so damn long to get a ps5 that I only just started playing this masterpiece. My first run was insane. I beat the miniboss, went on to kill the first ACTUAL boss then upon reaching the desert the first thing I did was scan a dead scout, which turned out to be my very first instance of an infected scout, which killed me instantly, and then I finally got the FUCKING TITLE CARD for the game, what a first experience
I finally got to play it on ps extra, and although I died to the first miniboss, I proceeded to play through the entire game without dying, managed to complete the first and second acts without dying once, I can't even brag about it because no one believes in me. I even have the screenshots of both the trophy and my stat screen minutes apart from each other that show only one death(the one from the start)
@@Condorian_ finally got my ps5, and got the game on psplus, on my very first playthrough, beat act 1.. then got the title card. As a souls expert this game is fun, but not that difficult... not sure what ever one is whining about... ( im totally lying.. ive died 2000 times on the first biome, 10 hours in finally beat phrike, took 7 hours just to find the damn sword. Post like these.. god like player posts.. really annoy me.)
@@GeerHedVR don't worry, I got my ass handed to me after finishing the game while trying to get the true ending lol
I beat the whole game on my first run, never got the title card :( and then I turned on sekiro, beat genichiro first encounter and his shitty little side hoe, but alas, that win was a loss, because now I can't use prosthetic tools :'(
Anyway, then I made 3000 babies with supermodels. All boys, of course. I never miss.
Yeah, I nearly died from avenging a dead scout. Never again.
Iv always had this question thanks for answering it
The game literally just came out how long have you always had this question 24 hours Jesus how old are you?? 😂
@@lastchance2849 Hahaha, my thoughts exactly. Yet he/she may be ironic too. Funny either way.
Always as in since 2015?? Exactly right after you were born?
@@lastchance2849 you do realize review copies existed.
@@acesamm um you do realize sarcasm exists too right???
A matter of time when someone beats the whole game in one sitting without receiving any damage. Wondering if devs has any script for this situation...
Saw someone do it already and somehow got through the game in 8 hours besides the secret boss level after
I don’t know about no damage, but I just got to the credits without dying (beat this enemy and rolled through the rest of the game without much issue) so it’s certainly possible
*spoiler*
You die of old age in a cut scene after the third boss so technically it’s not possible story-wise
@@reviewforthetube6485 secret boss? There isn't one.
@@ChaosStep you will find it the game isnf over at this point search around there is another boss level you will unlock it
Ppl: this game too hard
Someone: I beat it with one life YOLO!!
It really isn't that hard. You become really powerful the more you play
@@karlwest437 it only takes less then 30 min to get to the mini boss lol so idk what you are talking about than yoy said after you played for another hour but I'm like yeah doesn't take 2 to 3 hours to get to that point
@@karlwest437 yeah you kind of have to take your time bevause if you miss things you may have to go all the way back need to pick up everything you can some make the mistake of not doing that and just going straight and then realize shit I need this or that to unlock something
I was curious too, thank you for giving us the answer :)
This game is Fan Fucking Tastic
The upgrades and the gun aren't really much of a bonus. You get those on your first 'proper' run anyway.
You can easily do it, it has two attacks:
-When it jumps at you
-When it inflates and becomes red from behind, meaning it'll rush at you
Just gotta get the timing right. After awhile, there's a delay in the melee attacks
can't wait for the deathless speedruns
Ive been wondering if it was even possible to beat this enemy, I thought I just sucked at it. never occurred to me that you are supposed to die here.
I got it down to like 10% health, but kept failing the move where it delays its attack a little bit. Cool to see what happens!
I never saw that delay move until my second play through of the game, and it killed me in 3 hits with it…I was trying to figure out what was different because I dodged everything so easily the first time.
Right... that's the one that almost got me. Especially when he covers the entire arena
LOL I made it to the final boss of the second biome on my first run. I got mad lucky rolls and managed to get in that certain "zone." Followed all blue paths, too, as I was definitely not trying to miss anything cool. My session was over 2 hours long and when I finally died, I got the Returnal splash screen along with the cut scene and realized that I was probably not expected to make it that far on my first run.
Anyway, this game is fracking awesome. Subsequent runs have not been as successful because that first one made me COCKY and reckless LOL. I played until like 3AM and here is is not even 8AM and I am laying here in bed trying to figure out how to get up and play more immediately without my wife waking up and then reminding me of all the crap I need to do around the house... What I NEED to do is try another Returnal run. Right?
lol. Just remember we have our own cycles too. The game will still be there later. If you rush it that just means it’ll be over sooner
@@ChronoMune Yeah, that is is true...But I do see myself playing this a game lot after I finish the story. In Rogue-like (or Lite) games, the journey is as good or better than the destination, and this game just nails it.
Love how you cruise the 1st min and then this dude shows up even with me being 3 bosses this dude still is a pain if you stay stationary. You gotta move especially when he glows light red
Can't wait to see someone do this game with even dieng once ever seeing the title screen I wonder if it's possible
can't wait for the deathless speedruns
The game forces a reset after biome 3, so it's probably not possible to run from start to end in a oner.
I know you won’t believe me, but that’s exactly what I did. I don’t have enough video proof, I only recorded my boss fights. 😕
After Selene died of old age I was brought back to the beginning, then I started to drop like flies.
Definitely possible. After beating the game, I deleted my save to play through from the beginning and ended up going through the whole game without a single death.
There are scripted deaths . Like the first time you reach the tower at the top. It will make you return at least once . Even if the run is perfect
I thought this was impossible to survive, I was so close on my first run and then it just goes hyper aggressive.
I had a feeling this miniboss could get killed here in the first encounter but now I'm wondering how the story plays out if the player manages to beat this Miniboss and make it all the way to Nemesis and the beginning of Act 2 without dying
So, I literally just did that, first time playing lol. Ran all the way through without dying once, beat nemesis and "escaped". As far as I can tell not much is different at all
@@Scleggg don't forget to mention that you did it while blindfolded too
This is not a boss, but a regular enemy.
Yes but he’s beefed up at the beginning. He’s a lot easier later.
The early build looked amazing. I wonder why they got rid of the motion blur option???
It was causing instability.
I did the first cycle entirely without a death and genuinely thought I beat the game, so glad it went on further honestly can’t stop playing atm
Sure. We all believe you 🙄
Same, I feel like the enemies don't scale well if you manage to get through this miniboss on the first try. It's also a shame that the game gets a bit weird since Selene is like, both used to and horrified at the notion of being stuck in a time loop if you beat it first try.
Could you make the text bigger please, I had trouble reading it throughout the video
Thx so much for the video. I just came played Returnal a week ago, and damn, I so pissed with this first mini boss, I looking back for payback after resurrect but not found it, this Returnal game is so awesome👍
I was dissapointed that this Boss was too easy after everyone was rantig about the Game being to hard... Now im in those Ruins in the Desert and holy Shit this is what they where talking about
I gotpast this and I think almost out exactly to the boss the first time through and paused it to take a break and when I came back it closed it in rest mode for an update lmao.
I didn't know you were supposed to die here, my first death in the game was at the fight against phryke.
Somehow beat him on my first try and went all the way to the second boss.
Didint know I was meant to die there
Fun fact , this enemy is named Goliath in evolve , a previous game made by turtle rock
damn I never knew you could Killed this Boss in the beginning. the dev already expected this outcomes didn't they?
Yep
They just copied what every souls game does in the beginning, which is killing noobs.
So I actually beat it my first time, buuuuuuut I only had like 1 health left. Not too bad...except I also had a malfunction where I would take damage if I picked up an item. And the only way out was to pick up the item to upgrade the weapon to get through the door. Selene dies whilst standing.
I love this game but jesus it’s difficult.
I know, it's insane
This game is dope I died 7 times before I figured some stuff out I got to the first boss beat him my first go and now I’m in the 2nd biome praying I unlock something permanent before I die again lol
And what makes it great! I love my gaming skills being challenged
I just beat the second boss, what a tough bastard! Lol he had me on the edge of my seat dodging all his attacks. Awesome game.
@@jonathanpretty5031 just wait for the third biome, just forget about the third boss it's unbelievably hard, like almost giving up
I got ridiculously close to killing it. It had a tiny sliver of health but it got me
in my first cycle i almost made it to the big boss in the third biome, but died in the stairs going up to it
I killed him with 1 hit left lol, I didn’t see the title screen until 2 hours in lol
Same happened here, only 3.5 hours in
@@seanc5820 m’y vidéo when I kill him ua-cam.com/video/LcjZiOtZXbs/v-deo.html
Wait, where's the ninja? I thought a cut scene was supposed to activate and toss a throwing star at her face? Idk, I think maybe your game must be glitched.
I was so close to beating him on my first try, I went on another profile just to beat him. Unfortunately it doesn’t grant anything like dmc, which took me 4 tries
Starts at 1:22
I actually beat this thing first time, but I don’t think that makes me good cause I still can’t make it out the. First biome
It’s funny because I actually killed the first mini boss, and the game kept on going😂 I’m actually proud of my self, I beat the first big boss as well and made it to the desert before I’ve died for the first time
Same. This guy was supposed to kill you? I guess i've played too many Souls games. xD
I nearly beat it on my first try but I got too cocky at the last 1/4 of its health!
What if you don't die the whole entire journey?
She would still die of old age and be back in the ship.
I recently tried this on a mates psn account and went on to complete Act 1 with no death. Was pretty well kitted out by the end of the run. Fully cleared every biome.
You’re saying you fully beat the game first try?
@@blasphemicwhale no I’d already finished it on my own account. Maybe got the platinum.
@@blasphemicwhale and it was only Act 1 on my mates account. Not the full game.
I’m lucky that I had a lot of practice playing Control before this
I wonder if you can no-hit the game
Speedrunners will 100% do it, just a matter of when.
I remember not dying until i got to phirke in my first life so when i saw "first time mini boss" i was confused i had 0 trouble with this guy probably becuase hes more like dark souls dodging melee.
i also got to Phrike in my very first run and defeated him. I now wonder how i did that...
Do you guys think there is a patch coming up making the game somewhat "easier"?
Nope
Anyone who thinks this is hard never played their previous game. Nex Machina is so unforgiving even on lower difficulties.
Here we believe suffering the best way to progress.
@@captainjazzman Good to know.. was somewhat worried they'll push out a nerf on difficulty, before I manage to finish the game..
Doubt it but maybe they will include a save feature.
I can never avoid that dash attack (unless i get lucky).
My brother avoided death from that thing and had an 8 hour run on his first game.
I was down in 30-35 minutes, that thing killed me. The difference is that I'm still playing.
That enemy is the most difficult in the game in my opinion. Basically unless I mess up, nothing else has killed me besides something called a Severed and the third boss. I'm not counting the second death because the boss bugged out on me (didn't occur to me to just restart the cycle 😒).
Vid starts at 0:44
Started this game today and i was wondering if it’s possible to beat him and what happens next. Do you get to see the title screen even if you die after?
He’s considerably easier as u play more of the game. In the beginning I was scared of him but now he’s a piece of cake
My brother beat it, what happened to him is the game crashed on him
i beat this boss on my first play through last night. There's an instant death boss maybe 5 minutes later
I got to the third biome on my first attempt. Nothing special happens up to that point.
I beat this enemy when i played the game. I had no idea you were supposed to die!
I killed him first try by just holding down R2 every time i aimed at him
Im not sure why the audio visual generator from older computers is now considered next gen gameplay. Lol I don’t understand the masses
I wanna see this game get beat without dying
Me on my first try: *can't beat the miniboss*
Me as of now: *Can beat the first boss with a pistol, and no upgrades*
Message of the day: *practice makes perfect*
I killed him and Ithought,this is easy....
But now,10 hours in ,I still haven’t beaten the first Boss. I always enter the boss arena with low health...
I’m getting verry frustrated now...🤬
You can fully heal yourself if you sleep in the bed in your ship. Do that before the boss fight. It heals half life (50%), so just exit the ship after you slept and enter again to sleep once more. This way it's a 100% heal! Hope I was some help! :)
@@fesustamas7556 thanks didn’t know that.👍🏼
You need to prep. Spend your cash on astronaut and health vial, maximize integrity, increase weapon damage with a good artifact and some good parasites.
I killed this mini boss in my very first time playing...than i got lost.
When i search for a walkthough on youtube then i realize what's the game is all about hahahah
Midway through the 3rd biome and haven't died yet. Starting to get nervous.. 😬
There's red flying enemies that shoot rockets. The worst enemy to encounter in my opinion. Even if you dodge the rockets, you can get hit by splash damage. Doing longer dashes seem to help a bit.
Wow died 3 times in first stage ....
Oh I didnt die, didnt know we were suppose to. Has about 2 moves, really basic when you compare to a End game Monster Hunter Elder Dragon.
Good job 👍
If you go blackout of game you will see your percentage of the game and start from there
Did somebody actually loose to the first boss? Managed to get to the snow before dying once (you can't skip death after Act 1). Also, it's funny how people think that game without save is innovation :) All games in 90s were like this - yout die you start from beginning
Well I lost to him, which is justifiable since this is the first time I ever played a rogue like game. I have however improved a lot, and tested my skills by beating the 1st boss with a pistol, and no upgrades.
@@infinitedeath1384 cool :)
SPOILER
I died here and everywhere else many times, but went on to first try the Main boss in this area, second boss, third, and managed to get the first/mini/some what an ending to the game. I felt stupid and accomplished at the same. Also, I noticed the difficulty varies as the room and monsters shuffle around. (Set ur character to always run and ur dodge to square botton helps)
Is this game hard ? Because i don't like hard games also the platnuim is it easy ?
The game is no walk in the park but you get better at it. Platinum is currently at 0.2% but it just got released it's bound to go up. I'm at 33 hrs and beat the fourth boss, one more to go.
I actually cleared the first biome first run and got 3 areas into the second but currently struggling with the 3rd biome
What if what if you nevr ever die in returnal ??? 🤯🤯🤯🤯
I killed it the first time, wasn’t that supposed to happen?
I did too, it only clicked in my mind that I was expected to die when I died later in the run and the title screen came up, after maybe an hour of playing lmao.
Man, I beat this game three times in a row without dying and I was hoping for an achievement.
Is this the artist formally known as Outriders🤔
But I didn't beat the boss and I ended up still getting the weapon after I respawned lol but yes if you die after getting the weapon it's gone
Didn't even know that It was supposed to kill you, just thought the game was pretty hard and kept going
You probably won't believe me but I did best this boss on my first go it took me nearly 2 hours before I died for the first time
But this mini boss did almost get me
This is a pretty easy fight , shot , dodge , repeat. The only attack that actually can hit you is the rush but it's so telegraphed that you really can't not seen it coming. Very disapointing boss overall, didn't left a good first impression there are bosses from the PSX era that have much better ai and mechanics.
Video in 1 second: Nothing.
Just being a smart ass. Was wondering what would happen - thanks.
I can barely beat that monster in my runs...
wait you were meant to die?
i killed it, it left me with like 1% hp but it didn't seem an OP monster to make u die as a storytelling device
i got to the second world first run lol
wait i killed him first try i thought you were supposed to..
What happens if you kill the first mini boss on Returnal? Nothing.
You continue through, and honestly, that’s probably better than just ending it or making it completely unkillable
I just hv one major complaint for this marvelous game... The lack of autosave when closing the game....
Man i had such an amazing run yesterday, 160% integrity, 45% increased repair, astronaut figure, 7star weapon, parasite that let's u revive and other grt artifacts n consumable... got all before second main boss..
And then light went out because of heavy rain... and woosh everything gone!!!!😭😭😭
I will destroy it and NOTHING HAPPENS!! Only a few orbolites and I continue the map and the only thing I note its that you can advance all the rest of the map unlocking the upgrades of Selene suit, no more!!
Got through him with like one hp and was like hmmm i think he was supposed to kill me😂. Beat all the bosses in one try tho on my second life currently but I'm sure I'll run out of luck
I found the mini bosses harder than the actual bosses, especially on the final biome. The real bosses are spectacular though. Great game
Interestingly i died came back restarted my jouney a d foynd same gun in same are in new start
I got to desert first try and beat first act the second time
Its like 50% skill 50% luck. I just went through the first act and it was super easy since i got alot of protection artifact/parasites. Then the next run i died in the first room......
@@gotenks157 same here
Before I watched this video I did beat it on my first try
wait people actually died from this boss my brother doesn't play any games at all and he defeated at start, all it takes is to doge when he glows that's it.
I made it to the Second boss on my first run
Did this on my first run lol but died later on
I didn't realise you were expected to die against this mini boss. I think the first time I died was when I got to Phrike. This is definitely a GOTY contender. Painfully frustrating dying over and over and having to start from scratch however I never felt like I was being cheated by the game. It's a very addictive game which has stunning visuals and sound design which makes you want to keep playing. The story is interesting but confusing. Had to watch a few breakdowns on YT to understand what was going on. I suppose much of it is left up to the players own interpretation.
I didn't find it too frustrating dying in this game after you've got so far, because by then you've got a new upgrade that allows you to explore new areas you couldn't reach before so you can then go to the next biomes even more prepared.
Lmao I didn’t die I didn’t think it was expected, I went all the way to the desert and died at the end on my first cycle
I just hope it not a trophy because I trying to platinum this gm
I'll find out when I have a ps5
what you are supposed to lose that fight? i just won and kept going lol
You weren't suppose to kill it?
You're meant to die here? I killed him first time playing the game without much issue. Just thought he was a normal enemy.
Lol i won't even try that
I was thinkin the same thing lol
