i came here to see what the deal with balatro was, because i've been hearing about it, and that's also the moment i realized that i'm going to dump hundreds of hours on that game
When I found slay the spire I sunk 70 hours in a week and only stopped because I caught the flu. I am entering my credit card info for balatra as I type this comment
I can't BELIEVE how the natural consequence of "your kicker isn't counted towards your hand's score" immediately injects such cool complexity into the game. A tactical discard opportunity embedded within the part of the game where "number go up" is just a recipe for fun.
Balatro is just an incredible example of the power of aesthetics in game design. Everything about it just feels right. The art style, the audio, the UI, the mechanics. It all just flows together so cleanly and is just so damn satisfying.
Now I want to play a zombie capitalism game where I work in a coffee shop and must serve customers while fending off zombies. Prioritize upgrading your barista equipment to increase economy or upgrade your weapons and defenses to continue operating the store. More customers draws more zombies. Some customers are zombies infiltrating the defenses but don't accidentally kill a customer because that's bad for your online reviews. This could be FPS or tower defense.
First time seeing this game. It's kinda staggering how many little things they managed to put into a game with regular playing card. Every new mechanic revealed just makes it better and better.
I had a run where I powered up pairs CRAZY high, like level 12 or something. Plus the joker that wants you to have 3 or fewer card hands. I was popping off every turn with basic pairs. Sick combo.
What I like about this game is that I can pick it back up easily after a 6 months hiatus without forgeting much skill and such just read through it. Very universal, just like why games like poker or chess are still played today.
Okay I watched Vinesauce play this and I bought it the day after. I have been addicted. Easily play an hour and not even know what happened 😂 This game is alarmingly fun
Irks me to no end that four of a kind doesn't count as two pair. Color me salty. Love to see day9 falling in love with this game. I'm obsessed with hunting all the cheevos
This is something what I have been waiting for. I insta buyed Balatro when it came out and I was just impatiently waiting for Day9 to play it. Basically in first 40 minutes you can find every possible emote from his reactions 😂
I mean, running a coffee shop in a zombie apocalypse could be an interesting game. You just have to take care of the needs of the people going outside the colony and if you take good care, they maybe bring extra nice ressoureces for you or they survive for longer and then you have a lot of storytelling by talking to people, getting to know them, how they feel, how they keep going, learn secrets, maybe even take part in a conspiracy to take over leadership of the whole colony
best of luck to day9, as we learned in this stream, this game has a LOT of fans who care and want everyone to do [the cool thing], so backseating might be off the charts on this one
Sean really need to do something with his stream set up to discourage people from chatting. Watching the energy just get swept out of the stream because someone can't realize that he thinks questions out loud as his thinking process.
Day9's video titles are getting incredibly over the top, but having watched him for a decade I know he's being super tongue in cheek. It's cracking me up to see each title get more and more intense. Edit: I've been watching for 14 minutes and I'm already headed to get the game. It does fun numbery things, there are booster packs, cards of PLANETS? and general weird deck building chicanery. I'm in. Also the title is no longer over the top. It's accurate.
Does anyone else find themselves naturally trying to build toward having 1 suit and going for Flushes? It has worked for me so far...but struggling on winning with the black deck.
I was good until the series of misplays in the last shop and then I was screaming at the screen lol Overall he did a good job considering how new he was to the game; there were a lot of little ways he could have optimized his build.
It's so funny to me how different people's tastes are. I was bored of the game after watching for only 10 minutes yet Sean absolutely loves it (and so do many other people i hear). Human preference is a funny thing. Will probably still watch the vids for Sean content though.
1:17:40 I made a third-phase play in the first overtime period of the second inning of the third frame on my turn during the round during the match in the game in my session before the competitive season after the winter interval of the championship series of the global event.
Speaking of bizarre poker hands, i played in a 7 card stud game way back, and we had one eyed jacks and deuces wild. I won a hand with a five of a kind flush.
LoL, sooo many people in Live chat on Twitch or whatever should just stop watching on Twitch. Every stream, tons of time spent saying... "Don't talk to me about the game!" lol. Could really just watch on UA-cam later because the interactions aren't needed or wanted. I get vibes that Twitch chat is mostly just enabled for people to praise him or ask his opinion on game theory. Outside of that, don't comment on the game he's currently playing.
He had been playing the game for under 20 minutes and people were already backseating. Let the streamer figure some shit out for themselves. Is that too much to ask? People are more focused on being ESPORTS good at any game immediately and can't realize they're missing out on the fun of watching someone else have the same "Aha!" moments they had themselves. How is that such a difficult, or even offensive thing to ask? He literally didn't even have enough time with the game to understand what they were telling him, so it's not just backseating it's pointless backseating.
Literally every comment online in relation to Balatro is the comment that the game kills your life because it's so good. Every review online is the same thing. No actual review of the fucking game. Sometimes content of the game is recorded but the only thought anyone has to add to the gameplay is that it contributes to a lack of free time, same as the reviews and comments. It's very consistent across the board, no one has anything to say about it. I played it. It's alright. Indeed I played all night when I bought it and by the time I was about to go to sleep I accidentally clicked "unlock everything" and suddenly lost interest in playing and didn't want to start a new save file. Fuck me, I guess. It's alright, basically as good as a phone game about laying down poker hands for points. They give a lot of decent options for powering yourself to reach the end goal. For 7 bucks on sale its worth. How the fuck the company that made it went from this to Katana-man, I dunno.
@@Cleverconveyence Yeah it does, I went back to listen again on another day and I think maybe it was just one of those days were some sound just hurt! :')
This game is the modern Solitaire. It should come pre-installed on all computers.
13:17 there it is. this is the moment.
Also, 18:03
I was about to comment the exact same thing.

The best part is seeing how quickly it is before they realize they are already hooked on this game.
Day9 grappling with the fun of the game and the importance of his real life tasks- lmao what a joy to watch.
I've been waiting my entire life for this iconic duo. Day9 and balatro, a match made in the discard pile
Dear diary today I met a commenter who is one month old
Same, Day9 videos taught me starcraft back in the day 😎 great to watch him play Balatro now! never lost his sence of humor 👍 😂
Using the ACE as a #1 instead #11 for a straight got me. 😂 I've left so much points on the table not using that smh 🤦♂️ 😂
Man... Now I really want a game about managing a coffee shop during the zombie apocalypse.
With elements of Papers Please. Cause if you serve a latte to someone infected it'll be a riot by the tables when they turn
His explanation about Chat trying to backseat like a dog waiting for a bone is so spot on lmao
This makes me realise that i want NL and Sean to meet. They are the first and last streamers I like. Alpha and Omega.
Definitely 2 of my Mt Rushmore of streamers! That would be an amazing deck building roguelike extravaganza filled with tangents
they are like so similar and so different at the same time. it's hard to put into words really
@@andytheaardvark1 They both have charisma and are quite whimsical

You mean, a zombie capitalism game where you run a coffee shop and poker casino, while fending off zombies. Just fixing that for you.
@@vlgi No I'm pretty sure I meant what I said lol
I was so confused by this comment until he started that tangent
This is so good idea. I hate you.
Alright time to learn this game. Both cat dad and the egg are playing this
Its so good, you don't even need to stress about learning it. Trying, failing and learning are all part of the fun.
"I have a lot I needed to do this week." The way I've felt since I first played this game.
First time seeing this game. It's kinda staggering how many little things they managed to put into a game with regular playing card. Every new mechanic revealed just makes it better and better.
I had a run where I powered up pairs CRAZY high, like level 12 or something. Plus the joker that wants you to have 3 or fewer card hands. I was popping off every turn with basic pairs. Sick combo.
Watching Sean realize that this game is going to consume his life in real time is quite interesting
He said "Watch people go ' i got 86 billion'." Wait until he sees how high his score will really go 200 hours later :)
Slay the spire meets poker and its just as addicting
Slay the spire would love to be as good as this
@user-we8lj6us9nslay the spire sucks bro.
Yes diamonds are typically blue and clubs green in 4 color decks. The orange diamonds don't provide enough contrast imo.
I think it's aiming to be high contrast for people with color blindness. Green/red is a no-go there.
The moderating of the backseaters seems like a lot of work. Appreciate the commitment.
Like what you said. I cant imagine how someone think to make this game. So clever.
"I'm more important than any music has ever been."
Seanye West.
Really glad Day9 is checking out Balatro, been waiting on this for a bit.
His realisation that he into the game is so good
What I like about this game is that I can pick it back up easily after a 6 months hiatus without forgeting much skill and such just read through it.
Very universal, just like why games like poker or chess are still played today.
Totally kept forgetting that polychrome Ace of Diamonds was wild.
Sean: "Read 'em and weep, boys! Full flush house!"
All: "Uuuungh!"
type A moment

Holy crap that was the deepest of deep cuts on the TMNT reference.
Wow he actually called it at 1:28:42
This is something what I have been waiting for. I insta buyed Balatro when it came out and I was just impatiently waiting for Day9 to play it. Basically in first 40 minutes you can find every possible emote from his reactions 😂
This guy has such a supercilious manner but I did appreciate the playthrough.
8:20 - Now I kinda want to play Zombarista!

The moment you realised youre gonna play this game a lot was so funny man. Keep it up!
I was not expecting the TMNT full house reference but I'm here for it.
Im ngl im not even paying attention to the game
Im just vibing to day 9s voice and the music
best of luck to day9, as we learned in this stream, this game has a LOT of fans who care and want everyone to do [the cool thing], so backseating might be off the charts on this one
I have been anticipating this glorious encounter
"I have to use the bathroom" *Drinks more water* . Love listening to Sean enjoy a game.
Day9 "I don't know what a spectral card is"
Also Day9 earlier in the video "Oh that is what a spectral card is"
Oh no. This game looks amazing. Oh no
I've never heard of you, but boy this is a nice thing to watch
What a great soundtrack. Edit: funny that they chose the Okami speech pattern for this game.
Sean really need to do something with his stream set up to discourage people from chatting. Watching the energy just get swept out of the stream because someone can't realize that he thinks questions out loud as his thinking process.
This fills my soul with happiness
THEY PUT ALL THE COMMAND AND CONQUER GAMES ON STEAM THE PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THAT RED ALERT 2 PLAY THROUGH
Well I played this again after work and I beat a run with Pairs! 😂 it was pretty fun
I know this is too little too late, but the game has an contrast cards option for people with colour blind.
watching this while eating, can't wait to get back to my own game hahah
Oh no I wanted to see him react to endless mode being a thing
Stranded on a desert island. 2 games for me, Balatro and Tetris. Done.
GOTY 2024 is Balatro!
Day9's video titles are getting incredibly over the top, but having watched him for a decade I know he's being super tongue in cheek. It's cracking me up to see each title get more and more intense.

He gets me.
Best rogue-like of 2024 and my favourite streamer playing? Sign me in
Sean Day9 plus rogue like card game means I'm about to have an incredible evening
It's about gosh darned time
When he chose a purple seal over a negative joker
I’d play Lunch Rush Zombies…
I was good until the series of misplays in the last shop and then I was screaming at the screen lol
Overall he did a good job considering how new he was to the game; there were a lot of little ways he could have optimized his build.
Flush 5 is the best hand in the game
It's so funny to me how different people's tastes are. I was bored of the game after watching for only 10 minutes yet Sean absolutely loves it (and so do many other people i hear).
Human preference is a funny thing. Will probably still watch the vids for Sean content though.
the hidden cup day9?! in the (card) flesh?!
Well, there goes my weekend
1:17:40 I made a third-phase play in the first overtime period of the second inning of the third frame on my turn during the round during the match in the game in my session before the competitive season after the winter interval of the championship series of the global event.
Was waiting for this
1:41:42 Had to pick it for branding.
You know @day9tv played a lot of poker when he calls three of a kind “trips”
need part 2 😢
1:43:45 Flush House
Speaking of bizarre poker hands, i played in a 7 card stud game way back, and we had one eyed jacks and deuces wild.
I won a hand with a five of a kind flush.
"69x24" Nice... 49:37
I love Balatro
Can we refer to this as a Poker-Like going forward?
It’s all over, he’s found it folks…. 😂
LoL, sooo many people in Live chat on Twitch or whatever should just stop watching on Twitch. Every stream, tons of time spent saying... "Don't talk to me about the game!" lol.
Could really just watch on UA-cam later because the interactions aren't needed or wanted.
I get vibes that Twitch chat is mostly just enabled for people to praise him or ask his opinion on game theory. Outside of that, don't comment on the game he's currently playing.
@joshsimpson7226 don't flatter yourself lmao you're not a participant. you're the audience and you need to know your place.
He had been playing the game for under 20 minutes and people were already backseating. Let the streamer figure some shit out for themselves. Is that too much to ask?

Listen ragey backseaters, Sean is a fucking gamer and I am looking forward to watching him destroy this game.
PaaaahhhLeeeeeese, let me play like dog 💩 😂😂😂😂😂
Day9 be like: "I'm going to show my wife my hand size."
Sean P'lottro
been hotly anticipating this one. Can't wait to see Sean lose himself to this game.
thanks I had to buy this on my switch immediately
So this is how poker in movies work, where the weakest hands start at 3 of a kind
I went to the google play store to get the game... 10€ really? not free to play o.O?
hell yeah
This game is way too addicting. 25hrs in 4 days with a full time job
Does anyone that doesn't like power, like this?
I told day9 he had to play this on twitter hahahaha
What do people actually talk about in this chat? xD He's constantly just asking "rhetorical questions," do you just have to NOT interact with him?
animation speed is sooooo slow.
I want multiplayer
Poker addicts beware, this game appears to be designed to gamble your life away, 1 day at a time.
LETS GOOOOO
You had a straight flush and mulliganed it ...

The game looks like tons of fun but the pedal notes just hurt.
The music rules actually
@@Cleverconveyence Yeah it does, I went back to listen again on another day and I think maybe it was just one of those days were some sound just hurt! :')
This game looks so fun, but even just watching Sean play is making me motion sick :(
You can disable screenshake in option menu.
Guy plays to much magic😅
How much did the devs pay him to post a video with such a title? XD
