He made 2 pretty good unintentional puns in the first four mins and he didn't even realize! (At the beginning with the Russian Title "I'm Stallin'" also when he's talking about the focusing on the "meatier" aspects of the game it sounds like "Meteor") idk y'all can kill me now
No Ads, new Videos every single day, longer then 10 Mins, but as soon as this man tries to play a game he enjoys and gets payed for, everybody loses their shit. This community.
I don't get the hate on this. I like sponsored content as much as regular content; so what if he makes more money on it? Good for him. Plus, the game isn't bad. Clicker games aren't my favorite, but this is jazzy. But when you guys see [Sponsored], y'all immediately call "sellout"
I think people are more mad at the game than NL given it seems like a pretty basic clicker but this one costs like 10quid, not a great value proposition tbh
So it's basically an idle game that asks you to actively waste your time. Defeating the purpose of an idle game, at least as I see it: Getting passive progress, only sometimes peeking in to make quick adjustments so you gain more progress, while enjoying the results of what happened while you were away.
I love these types of games, I have like 90 hours in Realm Grinder, and got up to 10^110 amount of coins. I highly recommend Realm Grinder to the people who like these incremental games because there are many paths and factions in the game and there is never really a stale path you go in Realm Grinder. Its also free so why not
no but i played adventure capitalist for like 16 months and enjoyed it because I love these kinds of games. So yeah, i wouldn't say it's a great game but its far better than that and cookie clicker.
I guess the shoot em up combat is easy because it's essentially a clicker game so they want it easy and very casual rather than a challenging shoot em up, but as clicker games go the novelty of being a shooter seems better.
I haven't played any "clicker" games but i have to say this looks kinda fun for short bursts and if this ever find it's way on the Nintendo Switch i will give it a try. ps: Actually i don't mind sponsored content. If he is allowed to be honest about the games then it's fine for me.
Also, the emphasis is on the second syllable, not the first as NL kindly demonstrated for us in two different ways within the first 5 seconds of the video
Everyone's concerned with NL selling out or not selling out and with the quality of the game. I'm just here to inform y'all that 'Vostok' is pronounced [vas,tok] and simply means "east" in Russian. You are welcome.
Why do y'all care so much about his sponsored content? He puts sponsored in the title. Watch it or don't. However, why are you busting the Egg's eggs over something that is allowing him to actually keep making videos? You are telling me you would never take a sponsorship to promote something? I feel like he gives his honest opinion here too. Don't hate. Enjoy his overall Eggy nature and either watch or fuck off.
Hey man, im glad you're making money with this sponsors, despite not being my type of game because it looks like shit and i can't afford bad games, i still watched to the end, and by watch i mean that i left playing and went to do the the dishes, so cheers for helping me out doing the things i need to get done at my house.
Somewhere in these comments, someone unironically said "Too much sponsored content". Egg, you're doing great, don't listen to these entitled morons. If any channel gets too popular their audience eventually turns into dimwits.
I don't blame him for taking sponsors, but this is the commenting credentials .. you can't praise a egg for being an egg, but you can comment on all it flaws :) It's just a thing we do in his comment sections, I think you better get used to it
I can't believe you compared Hand of Fate with this game, they are miles apart. It's one thing to have a great game with a mediocre combat system and another thing to have a mediocre game with a sub-par combat system.
So, you make money, spend it, instantly start making more money per second, which increases the more you spend. And there is no gameplay involved. You just afk until you have enough money to buy the next upgrade to generate more money. Sounds fun.
Egg....daddy I'm fine with sponsored content but holy shit really with this one? Hot garbage lol hope it let's you do more of what you really love and we all enjoy
This looks like and should have been a mobile game, not a $15 PC game. I get it though, sponsored video. Make your money NL don't listen to the whiners. I was literally waiting for the point where microtransactions come in though lmao
I like clicker games, but I played this for 10 minutes and had to get a refund. The controls make no sense, the mouse is almost unresponsive sometimes, and the fucking chattery dialogue sound effects will make you want to pull your hair out, and the fucking guy never stops talking
Dear BrandonTheFish - Why should he heed your words of warning? Shall great misfortune come from his words of wise, or is thou triggered from the truth? Such strong words come from such a small stance, from what ground do you base your beliefs? I shall sit, peering at the rage of others wondering what could have conjured such emotions, such hatred from such simple words, why? Why must you vilify such a man for stating his opinion? WHY? Please, BrandonTheFish EXPLAIN!
Adk9p Nah, I know Brandon. If he thinks someone's being a douche, they probably are. For instance, I believe he'd think you're a douche as well, looking to pick a fight because you don't have any control in your own life. Have a nice day, but please have it doing something that doesn't make you an oxygen thief.
I've been known to play a clicker from time to time and this one looks great but $15 seems a bit steep. I know they have to eat but clickers and bullet hells are probably the 2 easiest games to program. They are the sort of thing programmers cut their teeth on so you are basically playing for the artwork. Lets face it, there are better games for cheaper and if I wanted to blow that amount on a clicker I would want one with replayability or some kind of rogue lite element.
I agree with NL's observation of this game being an attempt to mask a skinner box about watching a number rise higher. I'd prefer video games to about empowering a human being, rather than distracting or even enslaving them through psychological manipulation as this game (and many others) do.
More games don't do this because it looks super boring. You have money so you click a button which gives you slightly more money to click more buttons, so on and so forth. That is barely enough for a mechanic of a game let alone the main concept.
MicoDossun Sure, in the same way that it is a simplified version of every video game. Click a button; something happens. But generally a game will have a more engaging aspect along with it. This game had the space combat, which looked fine to me, but NL seemed to imply that it was the weakest element.
Most RPGs are actually boring as all hell, specially JRPGs because they don't even bother going beyond the initial premise i think it was PiGPEN or Totalbiscuit the one who compared them to a game of Snakes and Ladders, in which you just roll a dice and everything else is up to chance, with little to no agency or input from the player, which is why modern western RPGs try to mix things up, so RPG becomes just a side element that allows you to custom a character or setting, but is not the main factor of the game.
What problem do people see with sponsored content. I just.. cant understand. The only affect such content has is that the creator gets some extra money out of it. So literally only one positive consequence that's not affecting the viewer in any way.
The possible problem: choosing to make a video about the game that gives the most money instead of the game you like most or is the most fun, pretty similar to how normal advertisement works: We all know that generic Hollywood star X doesnt really like the brand of pizza he is advertising, he just gets money to do so, no matter if it actually tastes horrible. Apparently people fear the same happening here. And since there is a limit on how many videos get uploaded daily, each "bad" game would deprive the audiance of a video about a "good" game. In the end it pretty much comes down to how deep your trust in the UA-camrs is and a big part of the audience doesnt seem to be very trusting...
Leaving a game open and running to boost your in game economy is not "playing the game" and should be considered cheating. Happens in too many games. The game should pause when it detects no input from the player for an extended time.
Everyone in the comments acting like this game is supposed to be a standalone experience, these types of games are best enjoyed while listening to a podcast or a song!
Idle games are bad incremental games ones that most of the game is waiting, for example, F2P games and stuff like that incremental games are ones where you need to do more active management and balance math but the terms are mostly interchangeable.
"I'm Stalin" ~Northernlion 2017
Is this replacing Northernlion and Friends Play - Gigantic [Sponsored]?
Cosmic Titan hilarious
Cosmic Titan I hope not!
"They get increasingly angry with you the longer you play" - Must have been watching your KSP vids.
NL, he didn't say cow milk mate, he said prepare _human_ milk. = D
Went just past him... and unfortunately there are far too many complainers up for him to see it and if he did he probably would not remember. :D
He made 2 pretty good unintentional puns in the first four mins and he didn't even realize! (At the beginning with the Russian Title "I'm Stallin'" also when he's talking about the focusing on the "meatier" aspects of the game it sounds like "Meteor") idk y'all can kill me now
No Ads, new Videos every single day, longer then 10 Mins, but as soon as this man tries to play a game he enjoys and gets payed for, everybody loses their shit. This community.
Let's see NL torture another videogame in his reckless ambition to become an astronaut.
6:35 "you're making a thousand moolah per second! ...that might be a little bit of an exaggeration"
>literally making a thousand per second
Vostok in russian means "east". It's also maybe a reference to spaceship Vostok with which first manned flight to space was done.
You know what I respect your internet hustle, no complaints here
I 100% thought he said "I'm Stalin" after talking about the Russian name.
I don't get the hate on this. I like sponsored content as much as regular content; so what if he makes more money on it? Good for him. Plus, the game isn't bad. Clicker games aren't my favorite, but this is jazzy. But when you guys see [Sponsored], y'all immediately call "sellout"
I think people are more mad at the game than NL given it seems like a pretty basic clicker but this one costs like 10quid, not a great value proposition tbh
I don´t actually notice a difference between sponsered and not sponsered tbh.
Matthew Little it sounds bad but generally I prefer sponsored content if it means that nl does more let's look ats.
Matthew Little Because "Muh artistic integrity!" God forbid an artist make a buck at their job, right?
"My opinion differs so i can't understand"
The game looks like shit to me, and many others. Do you understand the hate now?
So it's basically an idle game that asks you to actively waste your time.
Defeating the purpose of an idle game, at least as I see it: Getting passive progress, only sometimes peeking in to make quick adjustments so you gain more progress, while enjoying the results of what happened while you were away.
"vostok" as a Russian word simply means "east". Then the word itself was used as name for different things like spaceships and other stuff.
I like these sponsored videos - it's interesting to see new games! Plus Northernlion gets that eggy money. :)
14:50 Aykaruga, you know, from the makers of AyCaramba.
Vostok was a spacecraft THE spacecraft that carried the first human to space
I love these types of games, I have like 90 hours in Realm Grinder, and got up to 10^110 amount of coins. I highly recommend Realm Grinder to the people who like these incremental games because there are many paths and factions in the game and there is never really a stale path you go in Realm Grinder.

Trust egg to love a genre that is super skinnerbox-y, giving you rewards for doing basically nothing.
First time I think i've bought a game directly off the back of a sponsored video. gg egg gg
It's been 5 minutes since your comment, regretting buying it yet?
no but i played adventure capitalist for like 16 months and enjoyed it because I love these kinds of games. So yeah, i wouldn't say it's a great game but its far better than that and cookie clicker.
I actually liked this game and this video. Who cares if it is sponsored, well done egg.
It looks like a well made game in a genre that a lot of people despise.
NL, have you checked out Nongunz? It combines incremental elements with a roguelite, seems perfect for you.
This game seems like it would be exceptionally boring after the first 10 mins. Oo
Don’t underestimate the urge to make numbers go up. It’s an addicting gameplay loop.
It's a clicker with a fancy GUI, got it.
Jelle van M. You ever heard of spaceplan (if not please do its bloody cool)
Actually playing Time Clickers on my other monitor, and Egg Inc. on my phone while watching this video. Very relevant.
24:41 Excuse me he said 6 million gallons of human milk NOT cow's milk!
I guess the shoot em up combat is easy because it's essentially a clicker game so they want it easy and very casual rather than a challenging shoot em up, but as clicker games go the novelty of being a shooter seems better.
Northern is back baby
increment the amount of sponsored content
i like my eggs RICH
Motherbase? Sold Boss
I haven't played any "clicker" games but i have to say this looks kinda fun for short bursts and if this ever find it's way on the Nintendo Switch i will give it a try.
ps: Actually i don't mind sponsored content. If he is allowed to be honest about the games then it's fine for me.
Vostok isn't a Russian town, it's the first manned space flight xD
For those who wonder, Vostok means east in Russian, it reads as VAH and STORK only without the R. VAH-STOK. I'd be of such big use in geoguessr....
Also, the emphasis is on the second syllable, not the first as NL kindly demonstrated for us in two different ways within the first 5 seconds of the video
This looks dope!
Why the hate? Looks like the best clicker game ever. Maybe a bit pricey.
Game looks like it has a cool aesthetic.
Why is this game still not out for Ps Vita?
15 USD? What a ripoff.
Love your vids
Everyone's concerned with NL selling out or not selling out and with the quality of the game. I'm just here to inform y'all that 'Vostok' is pronounced [vas,tok] and simply means "east" in Russian. You are welcome.
The nemesis system was pretty cool though.
I enjoy NL. He's a good fella. He's a decent man. He's enjoyable- thus I enjoy him.
Why do y'all care so much about his sponsored content? He puts sponsored in the title. Watch it or don't. However, why are you busting the Egg's eggs over something that is allowing him to actually keep making videos? You are telling me you would never take a sponsorship to promote something? I feel like he gives his honest opinion here too. Don't hate. Enjoy his overall Eggy nature and either watch or fuck off.
24:32 Oh boi, NL they didnt mean cow milk!
Lol NL you completely missed the human milk joke.
Hey man, im glad you're making money with this sponsors, despite not being my type of game because it looks like shit and i can't afford bad games, i still watched to the end, and by watch i mean that i left playing and went to do the the dishes, so cheers for helping me out doing the things i need to get done at my house.
So... its a glorified cookie clicker
I haven't played cookie clicker but this looks cool. Wouldn't mind seeing a short series on this.
Looks like a more involved version of cookie clicker on a universal scale.
Is this KSP in 4K?
Somewhere in these comments, someone unironically said "Too much sponsored content". Egg, you're doing great, don't listen to these entitled morons. If any channel gets too popular their audience eventually turns into dimwits.
Vostok actually mean East, Russia have city named Vladivostok
15 price tag is funnier then the video maybe 2.99-4.99 :p
If this is a sponsored video why are there no edits.
This is just a clicker with more steps *insert Rick and Morty meme*
we dont do rick and morty memes here boy, only tinted rocks, let's go, and xxx mike BOY.
How does egg have so many sponsors while only having 750K subs. He literally gets more sponsors than all other UA-camrs I watch combined
it's because he's a greedy egg
This could've been a really cool No Man's sky mod. As a standalone game it seems a little weak.
Hey Egg,
You look good in that sponsor
I bet you would look even better without it
Mellow Hero you fail to realize a joke .. so sad
Oh no I got the joke. It just wasn't funny.
I don't blame him for taking sponsors, but this is the commenting credentials .. you can't praise a egg for being an egg, but you can comment on all it flaws :)
It's just a thing we do in his comment sections, I think you better get used to it
so... he praises the mixture of game play mechanics here but complains about the same integration of mechanics in fortnite?
Game looks neat, not my jam, but I can see the appeal. :)
prepare six million gallons of human milk?
I can't believe you compared Hand of Fate with this game, they are miles apart. It's one thing to have a great game with a mediocre combat system and another thing to have a mediocre game with a sub-par combat system.
Will u play more?
"We actually take sponsored stuff that we actually like."
*We* as in you and your accountant?
He has a manager that probably curates to some extent.
He does?
the royal we
Yea, it's Dan
I thought he meant the NLSS crew since he did that thing with austin the other day and then he did blade ballet with a bunch of other NLSS members.
Daddys gotta make money boys.
So, you make money, spend it, instantly start making more money per second, which increases the more you spend. And there is no gameplay involved. You just afk until you have enough money to buy the next upgrade to generate more money. Sounds fun.
EX? You been watching some Giant Bomb content lately? lol
Oh the game is 15 bucks... Dafuq
"This mechanic (cookie clicker) is really cool and im surprised developers havent used it as much"
Really, nl?
Egg....daddy I'm fine with sponsored content but holy shit really with this one? Hot garbage lol hope it let's you do more of what you really love and we all enjoy
This looks like and should have been a mobile game, not a $15 PC game. I get it though, sponsored video. Make your money NL don't listen to the whiners. I was literally waiting for the point where microtransactions come in though lmao

Wow, a ton of let's look ats lately.
Egg's need its money I guess.
$15 for a fancy clicker?
NL...did KSP hurt you or something?
Dear BrandonTheFish -
Why should he heed your words of warning? Shall great misfortune come from his words of wise, or is thou triggered from the truth? Such strong words come from such a small stance, from what ground do you base your beliefs? I shall sit, peering at the rage of others wondering what could have conjured such emotions, such hatred from such simple words, why? Why must you vilify such a man for stating his opinion? WHY? Please, BrandonTheFish EXPLAIN!
From where do you derive your facts of this man, to me, he is a stranger. For what is he to you. A peer, a mere acquaintance, or simply an old friend?
KSP didn't hurt NL; NL hurt KSP.
Adk9p Nah, I know Brandon. If he thinks someone's being a douche, they probably are. For instance, I believe he'd think you're a douche as well, looking to pick a fight because you don't have any control in your own life. Have a nice day, but please have it doing something that doesn't make you an oxygen thief.
+BrandonTheFish You shilling for the devs or something m8? What insult could you possibly have taken from this comment?
I've been known to play a clicker from time to time and this one looks great but $15 seems a bit steep.

cookie-clicker?
i already need to force myself to give it a try looking at this
lets see if it manages to surprise me
31 people who disliked the video like their eggs scrambled while NL is clearly a hard-boiled one
Uranus, once you hear it, you can not unhear it
You played spore?
!sellout
Vostok is east. So yeah...
Damn people, sorry you didn't enjoy your free content.
I agree with NL's observation of this game being an attempt to mask a skinner box about watching a number rise higher.

You have money so you click a button which gives you slightly more money to click more buttons, so on and so forth.
That is barely enough for a mechanic of a game let alone the main concept.
could easily be a side mechanic in an rpg like fable
Yuchigo3 As I said, it could work for something like that, but it isn't good for the driving mechanic of a game, in my opinion.
That's just like the defining characteristic of most RPGs though. Just simplified.
MicoDossun Sure, in the same way that it is a simplified version of every video game. Click a button; something happens.
But generally a game will have a more engaging aspect along with it. This game had the space combat, which looked fine to me, but NL seemed to imply that it was the weakest element.

Why not just play Cookie Clicker? Unless I'm missing something, this isn't worth £11.
Yes Egg everyone lives in vostok so by not saying its name right you are alienating EVERYONE

Question: Is an incremental game not just an RPG?
Everyone in the comments acting like this game is supposed to be a standalone experience, these types of games are best enjoyed while listening to a podcast or a song!
"I'm stalling..." more like you're Stalin Kappa
Idle games are bad incremental games ones that most of the game is waiting, for example, F2P games and stuff like that incremental games are ones where you need to do more active management and balance math but the terms are mostly interchangeable.
vawstawk is fun to say
Eggdaddy are you poor? I am concerned.
I hope they paid you well because this game looks like hot garbage.
If it goes on sale and the bugs get ironed out I might buy it.
