Im seeing a bunch of UA-camrs upload this game now and I completely forgot this was suppose to be a new release. Probably should of released a new area with 1.0
To anyone confused by the narrator given events of the first game: No, that isn’t the Ancestor. That is the Academic, an entirely new character who narrates DD2. But they’re both voiced by the same guy, Wayne June.
I remember watching baer when darkest dungeon first came out in 2016, I haven't watched bear playing other games, but when i heard DD2 released, baer was the first person I remembered.
Although he cannot fully disguise his familiarity with the game, it’s nice that Baer can still act a bit like a beginner, for the benefit of new players. And I like that he’s looking at the tutorials carefully, as if he had anything left to learn after hundreds of hours of experience. He’s being quite dutiful, in his role as sponsored streamer.
I hate it. Same for shufflefm The over explaining and playing dumb ruined a bunch of their content for me And ironically made me lose a lot of interest in the game when it came out.
So far I'm really liking it, I'm not against it branching out from the first one and becoming a more "Classic" rogue like experience. The thing is that the DD universe is so interesting that i think they should be able to dare and experiment even more with different genres. Imagine a tactical rpg like xcom, or a dungeon crawler or maybe a pure co-op experience like left for dead or vermintide. I wish Redhook the best because they are truly talented devs and their world can be so much more!
It might seem weird, since there has been so much DD2 on the channel, but I’ve been eagerly awaiting this. There is something special about Baer doing a fresh start in a Darkest Dungeon game. I also tend to learn the game this way. I have a hard time retaining glossary text as it’s presented in the game, but Baer’s excellent narration helps me pick up the information instantly.
I absolutely adore the art in DD1 but my god this game is beautiful. Those scenes of the heroes standing outside an inn staring out at the next horrible place they have to drive through is high art. The combat animations are so weighty and fluid.
@@LChaos2 Yup; seems like only the multi-slot corpses are truly 'unique'; the rest mostly stay generic for that region/enemy type. Dunno about 'named' 1-slot enemies yet tho..
@@metalmonster9536 It'd be a nice idea if 'named' corpses had some little quirk such as (eg) animated vermin added; that shouldn't be too difficult to add to the existing commissioned artwork
I think one way to do the "selling" of items from the inventory would be to have a greedy trader that will trade you 1 rare item in exchange for all of a stack in a randomized number of item slots. I can see a fat greedy man covered in finery preying on the downtrodden in this world.
I'd love to see an animated series with similar artwork. Not sure if or how it could be done, but I'd watch it. Love the lore and setting of the DD universe.
Finds a trinket with a bonus to the crit chance, immediately gives it to the only character capable of generating crit token for himself. Don't ever change Baer.
My 2nd space after the tutorial run ended, started up a new run, was an Academic's Study In it was the Shambler staff. And thats how I speedran dying to a shambler (He got buffed)
2:07:27 I do believe that is the case for the Vestal's Secret inn, but more worryingly, if you take that as the heroes witnessing or reading some sketch books or acts, really makes the quirks you get, positive or negative, all the more concerning.
Baer has given me so much joy with the DD playthroughs. Every so often I go back and watch that one hilariously terrible run he had in the first game (weald?) where reinforcements kept coming. Love what you do, Baer!
Spoiler for this video: Dont put yourself down there bear, with untrained character, a new account and no bonus whatsoever is not bad at all, It dos say more about youre leadership if any to get this far!
Be ready to die. A lot. That's part of the fun. If you like Dark Souls or similar challenging games, you'll like this. There's too many options to say much beyond that other than offense usually beats out defense in this game. Not entirely, but it's very hard to sit back and take damage so try to kill your opponents sooner rather than later.
24:19 I love both versions of the game, and Wayne June is the best narrator, I love when he reads the rats in the walls and mountains of madness, both stories by H.P. Love craft without whom there would be no darkest dungeon games.
28:55 I'm pretty sure the skill you mean is actually on the Highwayman, or the Highwayman at least has one that straight up ignores Death Blow Resistance
I always enjoy your DD2 runs, and this was no exception. Great introduction for new/interested players. Congratulations on being recognized by Red Hook as an ambassador of the game!
50:20 I'm real disappointed that Redhook never took the chance to add quotation marks to Slime Mold as *"Food"* Also, the Bishop enemy now starts with one of their special tokens, that's an interesting change to make them less of a push over. The second Man At Arms hero shrine memory still bothers me, I can't see how it's his fault if the men he was assigned to command don't follow his orders.
the only thing i hate about this game is the death door for enemies, I got defeated once because a boss was at the death door and he wouldn't die and wiped my team instead.
I'm honestly very happy that red hook sponsored Baer to play DD2. This way i can enjoy this marvelous campaign without the usual twitch callouts 😂 Left myself starving for DD2 waiting until it's actually released. It looks amazing so far ❤
I was 100% hoping you'd start fresh once the release came out. I haven't seen anything and wanted to start fresh myself with the full release. Buuuuuuut.. I know I'mma need some help from the DD master Baer. I already lost my first run 🙃 Everyone got full stress and died, full stress max hp too... But oh well, now I know how a run goes kinda. DD2's pretty different from DD so far
Hey, I played some of the pre release, and i especially remember that at some point you had to have the "Boss Trophy" to reach The Mountain, and now i see Baer reach it without the trophy. So you don't have to slay the bosses in the main course to reach the mountain?? Did i just spent past 3 days dying over and over to the bosses for nothing??? :d

If you ever feel that you are being too generous with your money, remember that red hook once paid Baertaffy money to make a darkest dungeon video.

could not believe this shit when i saw that tag. its like if my buddy greg got sponsored to play fortnite.
the thing is, this is the second time it happened too lol
I love that Red Hook and Baer work so well together. I’ve been loving following the early access journey so I’m excited for the full release journey
Is a good thing they sponsored baertaffy, or he probably wouldn't have played this game. Doesn't look his style
I hear ya, I'm concerned he won't do more than a couple of episodes.
Yeah him and rougelikes don't mix
@@KhrysusMKII i think he's just being polite and plays a random game he got sponsored
Right that's why he played darkest dungeon one and two for years even without sponsoring because he only plays it because it's sponsored.

THANK YOU. I was beginning to think the Ancestor had gone to university before retiring to his estate to ruin the world.
There's two characters though. One is the academic the other is the student. I think the student was meant to be the ancestor though I am not sure.

Starting a brand new Darkest Dungeon series with a boss team wipe is the most on brand thing ever
Hardly unexpected in the first embark tho..
My first embark ended with a sole survivor Dismas taking out the denial boss.
Thanks for starting with fresh players in mind - I've waited for the 1.0 release to jump in to DD2. Looking forward to the blessed content!

I love these sponsor streams because you always get to see a new game.
Jokes aside, congrats on getting sponsored!
He deserves it. Others are playing now because the game is out, bear has been there from day 1.

Good to see some well-deserved praise for this neat little gem.
The only negative thing I can say is that it lacks cloud saves on day one which is kinda jarring and i actually need it bad 😔
JRPG Darkest Dungeon?
@@MrByakkoneko ah, Shin Megami Tensei?

And thus. We start anew
Unique corpses? The hype is finally real
Not every enemy I think
@@LChaos2 Yup; seems like only the multi-slot corpses are truly 'unique'; the rest mostly stay generic for that region/enemy type. Dunno about 'named' 1-slot enemies yet tho..
Yeah I saw that too, but still it is way better than using the same gravestone for every region. I am satisfied
@@metalmonster9536 It'd be a nice idea if 'named' corpses had some little quirk such as (eg) animated vermin added; that shouldn't be too difficult to add to the existing commissioned artwork
@@snafu2350 That probably just means the small corpses aren’t totally done yet.

It’s pips in my heart
Wayne June is amazing
The giddy glee and tone of voice for the "Oooo, leeches." only in darkest dungeon.
So excited Baer!
You did a great job explaining too!
Loved being part of this journey and cant wait to see the last chapters!
A-a-a-and here it is!
46:42 the tangle is great especially the. If knights overgrown with tree roots and the antlers are always a great touch ❤
As far as I'm concerned you are that "Darkest Dungeon guy". Great to see you and Red Hook working together to bring this content to us.

I have never played DD1 or a game of this type, and I'm still contemplating if I should buy DD2. Any tips you guys can give me? :)
This game isn't for everyone but you should give it a try) I buyed the first one after watching "Reynauld and holy crusade" video, it was very cool
overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer
If you're overwhelmed by the numbers watching this, stay away... It only goes downhill from here.
Start with first One. Its cheaper, you Will learn how to play and there is a tona of mods to enjoy the game for years

The counter has finally been reset. Didn't think I'd see the day.
54:00 I was surprised when the antiquarian tried to kill me at one point in darkest dungeon 2
Good old Wayne, gave me chills when he said 'Darkest Dungeon'.
1:47:48 Just never take damage, why don’t you?
WAIT ITS OUT????
28:55 I'm pretty sure the skill you mean is actually on the Highwayman, or the Highwayman at least has one that straight up ignores Death Blow Resistance
31:30 thunder clap grenade reminds me of the Krak grenades from Warhammer 40k
Can't believe Bear is playing a game he never played before only because they sponsered him, SMH my head
59:30 “ Behold! my stuff!” 😂
1:03:10 “ was anyone emotionally shattered?, come on a minute ago I couldn’t shut you up details! details!” 😂
I always enjoy your DD2 runs, and this was no exception. Great introduction for new/interested players. Congratulations on being recognized by Red Hook as an ambassador of the game!

This game has a Warhammer Fantasy feel to it.
That is an AMAZING art piece of the man at arm bear. Supper Jelly.
Whoa 1.0 already? And Baer is on a fresh new profile too? Let's go
the only thing i hate about this game is the death door for enemies, I got defeated once because a boss was at the death door and he wouldn't die and wiped my team instead.
49:51 also high way man is a must have for me, I often lunge forward then fire point blank shot to retreat rinse and repeat 🎉❤
My face when Baer said the early access came out in 2021 and i realized ive been watching him play this for a year and a half: 😅
I'm honestly very happy that red hook sponsored Baer to play DD2. This way i can enjoy this marvelous campaign without the usual twitch callouts 😂
Left myself starving for DD2 waiting until it's actually released. It looks amazing so far ❤
I'm so happy this game exists
Pips affinity 39:09
Finally, we get to see Baer play DD2 for the very first time!
It is so sad, that the cannon at 1:45:47 can fire alone without an Canoneer like in DD1. I hope he will return after the frist expansion ^^
He needs his bf back :(
1:48:00
I see the game heard you and got These Hands ready for your first boss.
Yesssss I’ve been playing and streaming dd2 as well. I’m loving itttttt can’t wait to watch basically everything you post Baer
59:37
They know I’d be playing it now, but their paying me money.
Not 5 seconds later: Also look how good he looks!
Answered your own question Baer.
Happy 1.0 launch day!
A gentle reminder that overconfidence is a slow and insidious death!
Vamooooos!!!
As much as i love the game, i cant help but fear what kind of mods the community will create.
How can I reset my progress?
A fine first walkthrough of your bread and butter
1:21:44 nice upgraded tracking shot bro
the game dont start here, before the launch i was playing normally, anyone with the same problem?
That artwork was Bear-awesome
DD2, Beartaffy and 1.0. Thats a go for me, cannot wait for me :D
IT'S HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
i still remember when you voice itself broke, when you entered darkest dungeon 2nd part.
I was 100% hoping you'd start fresh once the release came out. I haven't seen anything and wanted to start fresh myself with the full release.
Buuuuuuut.. I know I'mma need some help from the DD master Baer. I already lost my first run 🙃
Everyone got full stress and died, full stress max hp too... But oh well, now I know how a run goes kinda. DD2's pretty different from DD so far
Can't wait for this game on PS5!
LET'S GOO
It feels so weird watching Baer with a face cam and no mention of Madrinas Coffee
I was really hoping for the Musketeer.
It’s here! It’s time!
I wonder what decisions where made by and done by the team to retain the style of 1 but make 2 so so so much better.
Will this game come out on pa5/console like dd1 ever?
39:19 I like pips 😂 I say we keep the pips🎉
Baer on the steam store stream???? Thats amazing dude congrats!
wayne june absolutely blasting my eardrums with love, amazing game redhook and amazing narration mr wayne june
Yes lets goooo!

I'm hyped to watch this. This game is fucking beautiful! This would make for an awesome book or a movie if done correctly.
is there any confirmation that this game will come to PS4 ? that would be amazing
really love the clean shave, you look great!
Amazing game! Thank you Baer for showcasing this!
The stream had so many issues yesterday. I'm sad I missed when it came back
I got so far behind in the previous play though, I’m so glad this is happening
I beat chapter one on my second run without anyone diying i was surprised darkest dungeon 2 feels easier than 1
I don’t think it was that smart to unlock so many heroes at ones.
Derp
Insert the obligatory quote about trinkets and baubles here
The time has come.
When other UA-camrs upload a new game you have been watching for months now 😂
As soon as they announced the beta trailer I yelled "Baer get in here". I remember Baer fouced someond in DD1 no?
