I cant belive I watched a 2 hour video about such a game and was entertained the whole time. Its also funny that the Big Illvar rap video gave you more lore about Illver than the entire rest of the game because you just disregarded his questline but at the end just descided for his ending.
The dynamic duo of Vaati being the bored, easily annoyed guy who just wants to get through this as quick as possible and Pine being an optimistic guy who sees the best in the game and assumes everything is working as it should be is what made this video for me. Honestly it's like watching Squidward and Spongebob interact with each other.
Honestly I love that Ilvar and the broken are completely missed and the only explanation we got in this video is cause they somehow avoided that entire faction. So the Rap is our only lore source here. That he was the one creating monsters to overthrow things to try and get the ship back together so he can leave. Also he's an alien who isn't human or anything and has lived here for the entirety of the fucking history of this planet? I like how there was another human character who was never encountered and somehow "GOK" disappeared from the plot but the post credits scene says he killed the queen, which must have been done quickly considering the ship just nuked the planet. Honestly, if it could have been kinda alright but I'm kinda glad it's janky. this was fucking amazing to watch.
And it's effectively the same, as you are betraying everyone through the game at the first opportunity. Except bro Ilvar. He took you out of the jail, you let him go twice and went out of the planet together.
they trusted literally everyone they talked to, which resulted in the same thing anyway since they tend to meet people with conflicting goals sequentially. everyone gets a free betrayal
Genuinely cracked me up. Like the production value is irrationally high *and yet* Like the modelling, mocap, everything? Its amazing And the netcode and animations are... shite
Vaati's pause after IronPineapple starts talking about the post cred scene, followed by, "What are you even talking about," has got to be my favorite moment out of all of these videos.
this is truly the dividing wall. i love people like pine who jump into things headfirst with that sort of optimism and desperately believe the world needs more people like that but i am absolutely on the vaati side of "just because you're having a good time doesn't mean this is worthy of praise."
My favorite media will always be the stuff I can enjoy as much as I can critique. The worse a thing is, while still managing to entertain, the closer to praise it gets.
17:28 I actually think that's a hilarious concept. It's like Two-Face from Batman where he leaves everything up to the toss of a coin, but he leaves his decision up to the zingers. If he can think of a fun one-liner, he'll do it. If he can't think of one, he doesn't do it.
Maybe the idea was,that he isn't one to fight from the shadows and defeat his enemies through trickery,but one to face his foes head on and that's exactly what he is going to do, I think that was the intent, although that isn't the title of a valiant night or a payed assasin ,then how did he earn that moniker,is he the local butcher or what?
Going from hearing Vaati's sophisticated and soothing voice on his channel to now hearing him sound so apathetic and fed-up over this video game, is such a funny turn around. Props to him for being so patient for IP.
The cut scene at 1:28:50 is so hilarious with Vati just silently hopping back and forth in the background. Genuinely one of the funniest things I have seen on your channel Pine and I've seen a lot of funny moments.
I CANNOT believe that someone wrote into the story "and then the hero stops a war by arguing for his enlightened worldview and concludes that he should marry the queen" which then everyone immediately agrees to, then the hero gets to jump into bed with the queen, being told he is the ruler now, and *immediately* signs Feminism into law, earning the claps of every enlightened being in the universe. That is the MOST REDDITOR WRITING I HAVE EVER SEEN I LOVE IT
My buddy’s dad once convinced me to suffer through his self-insert trash fire of a science fiction “novel”, which he published through Amazon. It reads _just like that._ I haven’t spoken to that man in more than seven years, _specifically_ because I *do not want to talk about that goddamn book.*
This has honestly been one of the most entertaining videos ive ever seen on youtube. Vaati and you are such a perfect pair for coop content and this game just encapsulates that perfectly. I loved every second of your downwards spiral of going from " what the f is that" to "Hay this is very good in a B Movie kinda way" While Vaati was constantly just "Are you high bro?"
01:52:00 has to be the most unexpected cutscene I saw in a game ever. If you didn't record it, I wouldn't have believed you if you told me that there's Ilvar rapping and the broken dancing
you two zeroed in on "ratity" (which, others have pointed out is humanity) but I was still dying over "brathers" that flew entirely under the radar immediately beforehand. Friends, brathers, countryrats, lend me your big round ears!
As a train guy those locomotives in the mine section are based on real “smokeless” or pneumatic mining trains. It’s a weird detail to be so accurate, and the first time I have seen a mines section have you drive a locomotive instead of riding a car.
Just finished the video... What a wild, wild ride. I'm so glad you included all this footage. If nothing else, it was a comical pleasure watching you and Vaati make this journey together. Makes me miss the days of playing game with my brother back in the day. Thanks for the great stuff, as always. God bless you both.
this was the most fun i've ever had watching a youtube video. The whole thing felt like when you were a kid at a sleep over, you stayed up too late, and everything anyone says becomes absolutely hilarious. Thanks for this acid trip of a story.
@@gabbonoo Yeah, like, it was probably meant to be more expansive, with the houses of particularly wealthy or influential families in there but the Cloud District still very much exists and is referenced by multiple sources in game, including a book titled "A Gentleman's Guide to Whiterun", written by the resident bard.
@@Pnic1193 true. i got the idea from somewhere that there was supposed to be more. maybe comparing it to oblivion's capital. The Plains district is temporary market stalls, cheap shops, and lower class housing. Wind District probably might have had the tomb, competitive families, inns, and smithing. The cloud District (which is just the palace) probably would have also had the guild, temple, and maybe a very high tier trade group like an auction and/or skyforge trade. Whiterun is the trading capital of skyrim and the palace isnt what i would call a district... it is clearly not amongst other facilities but it has enough that you could call it a district in a town instead of a major city since it has cells, studies, guest rooms, and a grand hall.
@@gabbonoo can't remember the NPC exactly but, as I said, the book insinuate the existence of three districts - the lower Plains District, the middle Wind District and the upper Cloud District. Quote: "At last we come to the Cloud District, exclusive domain of the Jarl's castle." There are no signs of official written references to the names of each or any district so they're all likely just folk names to distinguish between the classes in the city. I see no reason to take it in that weird "it's not real" direction because it goes into this weird intentional ignorance of intent vs execution and how Bethesda insinuates the existence of these larger things because, well, that's how these things are supposed to be and just because we may not have it 1to1 in game doesn't mean it's not so in the lore or the expected suspension of the player's disbelief.
Ex-member of the production team here: I can confirm the writing of the main character was intentional, because when you think about it, it is not possible to allow players to make such profound decisions, so many times, with the main character not being mentally unstable / ironic about everything / fully existentially absurd. Mentioning of the Gok in the epilogues is a bug caused by you completely skipping the optional negotiations with the Ratkins where the Queen would be assassinated by Gok and his raticals. The game is intended to be replayed multiple times, in order to try different decisions and slowly put together all the pieces of the puzzle, but I understand, that it is not as pleasurable an experience as the devs wanted it to be, due to all those bugs. But, if it ended up good and relatively bug-free and you would be willing to play it more times, the whole story would start making more sense. It is intentionally written from a limited perspective of the main hero, though I admit that some characters and their reasoning could be explained way better. As for the bugs, this game is much too ambitious for such a small team (apart from the art team there literally just a handful of programmers and a single scripter), there is just too many paths the game can take and the game focused primarily on the melee combat with quite a variety of melee weapons with special abilities (whereas you killed everything with magic ) + you can unlock some weapons only when you choose a specific path etc. and in the end the bugs were just pushed in front of us, nobody having enough time to fix them because there was always something new that had to be added or fix something even more game-breaking. Alas we tried to make something monumental and worked really hard, so I am so grateful that at least you guys had such a good time.
>Raticals Bro, stop. You're killing me. I was laughing my ass off the entire video and now I want to play this with my coop buddy, you guys made an *experience*. Maybe not the one you intended but so very, very memorable.
Always nice to hear from a developer! I did think it was weird that i saw no programmers in the credits when i feel like programmers are usually what game studios have the most of. Which also felt like it explained a lot, at first it made me assume most of the game was made in UE blueprints by the level designers or something. Were there any animators on the team or was it kinda just artists doing whatever they can? I'm also curious what you worked on during your time there and what your experience was like?
@@MrHeadshotableWILDEST shit I’ve seen a dev use to explain away shit writing. Like bro just discounted every single other great video game protagonist of any game or franchise where you make decisions
I love their decision to have the MC just agree to do whoever the last person they talked to asked them to do. They basically just became "Yes-man" from New Vegas lol
I watched the full thing and I gotta say you definitely don't have to apologize at the end there. This was a great watch from start to finish. You and Vati make a great duo and compliment each other in discussion, humor, and playstyle. I would love to see more longer playthroughs of games from ya'll. This game was hilarious especially with ya'll breaking all the bosses and glitching out or dying over and over for dumb reasons lol. Definitely wouldn't have been as funny solo. Thanks for the great content!
That "big ilvar" music video alone was worth the 2-hour lead-up to it tbh Also, i'm actually super curious now about what the other outcomes would've been because it does SEEM like the game has a lot of story variation. (again, SEEMS that way, it could be an "all roads lead to rome" situation).
The "being thow into fire and reborn from ashes' from the rat prophecy probably has something to do with the planet destroying weapon. Maybe he DID stop the ship once, but lost his memories, while the rat's ancestors saw what happened...
Not only did your honest review likely steer me towards V Raising, which I appreciate, but you also recommended a game that may not be my usual choice, yet you did not lie about it. After watching a two-hour video on The Last Oricru, I am now convinced that it is a must-buy for me. It could easily pass as a B-List movie, and some B-List games are actually quite enjoyable. I may not play it in co-op mode, but I am intrigued to experience it in single player. Your content, along with Vaati's, has truly influenced my interest in this game. I suggest creating more longer videos like this one as they provide me with longer entertainment while I work.
That final "cutscene" (no spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet) was the greatest thing I've ever seen, and I only experienced it at the end of this video - I can only imagine what it was like seeing that at the end of an entire playthrough. Holy shit.
Could you imagine playing through that entire game, being absolutely exhausted, only to be blasted with the single best piece of media in the 21st century
Vaati's "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" when IP explained the rap/dance cutscene made me wake my children up with laughter. Nothing funnier than an irritated and confused Australian.
The whole last 10 minutes were unbelievable. Vaati's story of stumbling into a boss fight during the credits was just one absurd development after another, and I cannot imagine anything weirder to punctuate the end of the game...until the rap.
I want to give mad respect to your honesty in the sponsored segment. You didn't claim to be a massive fan of the game, or claim to have played it *constantly*. You're honest and say you've read reviews, and recommend others to do the same. It's nice to see something like this.
@@Arexion5293 They released a free demo (YIIK Nameless Psychosis) that is basically the first chapter or so of the new update for the original game that plans to overhaul it. It's apparently not just competent, but very good, we're talking 90% positive reviews out of 600 reviews. The devs are gonna pull a No Man's Sky with this update, I swear.
Bought this game this afternoon despite your recommendation, played through it all single player, story difficulty. The gameplay left a lot to be desired, but wasn't annoying at any point. I love branching story narratives and open-world adventures. And despite taking a pretty different route, I got the same big ilvar cutscene post credits. Great video, thank you for giving this game the long-form review it deserves.
So for that ghost boss, the gates were meant to prevent it from fleeing to the opposite side of the arena. You trap it between two gates so you can reach it (granted it stays still randomly anyways but)
The fun fact: If you resist annihilating the planet, Naborou people would kill the queen and try to attack rats to get rich life back, but fail and Ratkins would ENSLAVE small amount of Naborou people that left alive
Thats wild i really was kinda curious on what some of the other choices might have been or what consequences their were because this was so crazy it doesnt entirely seem like it would just end all sunshine and rainbows if you picked some of the other endings.
This protagonist is the new Detective Halligan from Mystery of the Druids. Always mildly perturbed his insane actions aren't immediately forgiven, and always ready to non-chalantly do things only a horrible person would do while acting like he's just gone to grab the meal deal at Tesco.
Weird, cause I love Halligan. Maybe it's the fact everyone in Mystery of the Druids actively hates Halligan and shits on him every chance they get outside of the main girl.
_"Insufferable Twat: The Co-op Video Game"_ The unintentional humour is stellar.... seeing Vaati's hologram running around in the background of cut scenes, getting into fights & falling off ledges while Pine's character changes sides for the umpteenth time is too funny 🤣👍
The parallels between this game and Two Worlds is insane - except in two worlds every other npc but the one you're stuck talking to continues to do whatever they're doing which most of the time is shooting you with fireballs
1:09 Trust me, I’ve read more than enough LitRPG books to be VERY familiar with protagonists like that. Either the author has a plan for them, or it’s best to abandon ship and get a refund while you still have time
With a character like that, you've either decided to create a story around an intentionally unlikable lead learning humility and going through a journey of self-reflection and maturity (that's good ^_^ ). Or you created an OC who you think is the coolest guy ever (maybe not so good :/ )
@@leithaziz2716 Exactly! On the flip side, they make for PERFECT villains to hate early on, before you get to the BBEG - no complex machinations, no deeper meaning, just a one note bad guy to get the hero started on their journey to face the ACTUAL threat to the kingdom, or universe, or whatever
Fellow LitRPG nerd here, I think it's insanely unfortunate that one of the first in the genre to really blow up was the Chaos Seeds books. I honestly liked the series (until book 8 obviously), but not every litRPG protagonist needs to be a sarcastic gamer. It has gotten old, and I'm fairly certain a lot of that has come from that series. Or maybe it's because sarcastic gamers are the people writing the stories. It could be either, really.
1:45:14 isnt that the summary of this game? You saved the ratkin warrior, united him with the fire clan and the undid everything at the end, then you helped Regulus with his quests when finaly you decided to undo everything for the Queen, of wich you helped to making peace and end slavery to just, yet again, undo EVERYTHING because some told you so. Two words for Silver/Jason: Congrat Ulations.
Him not doing the side quest to go get the fire guy (and possibly killing the other ratkin) also put that ratkin regulus planned to have assassinate the queen in power. Which seems like would have killed her anyway if he didnt blow up the entire planet at the end. So i guess there is an actual chance to have a decent ending, but it doesnt fix the main character in any shape or form lol.
@@7Ryong7You know, on one hand, I have to begrudgingly give the game credits for it allowing you to just constantly flip-flop on *everything*. It completely destroys any semblance of logical story progression, but it's kinda cool the Devs decided to let the player do it anyways.
Those cutscenes were so well animated at some situations! Which really leads me to think that is the main part of the game where the most time has been spent. And so many little mechanics! I think that they considered players to choose one side and stick to it. As we can see, everything is mixed and weird if you do not do that.
the contrast between the evidently high production value (even if that value was put to... questionable use) and the godawful audio quality on all the dialogue takes me out every single time
Ive said it many times before, but again wanted to show my support for just playing whatever you want to play besides souls likes. The format you made for these kind of videos is just so great and your personality and writing is super enthertaining. Do what you want to do, i think i talk for a lot of people that we'll genuinely support you whatever you do.
Long time ago, Peeve and Oroboro made a run on DS1 together and was the most hilarious thing I can remember. Today, seeing you and Vaati play together, took me way back and made me giggle and happy beyond all reason. I really hope to see you two play stuff like this more and more as a dinamic duo! Thanks for this fantastic video ❤
You have no idea how much I respect the sponsor angle of admitting when you haven't played the game but voicing a genuine interest in it. A lot of UA-camrs get sponsorships from games they never played and don't disclaim that so that transparency is honestly really cool of you.
@@civilizedmonkey1795 if you’re up front about it it shouldn’t really matter, because people already know to take it with a grain of salt. Even if the game doesn’t end up being good there’s no harm in him taking their money.
@@civilizedmonkey1795 the thing is, the game itself has good ratings already, and what it needs is just an advertisement to the right audience. And im sure IP's subscribers are somewhat correct audience judging by the gameplay shown.
this was genuinely the most funny serious-not serious game I've ever seen. There are some actually some really interesting faction and choice-making decisions, but then it all goes down the drain when the main character speaks or does anything. 600/3 masterpiece.
This is definitely a tribute to games like Limbo of the Lost and The Mystery of The Druids. Bizarre ass gameplay and nonsensical stories woven together with amazingly stilted voice acting. I'm hooked, ngl
Willing to be incinerated for your belief and then immediately just losing all resolve and kowtowing to a queen is legitimately the funniest thing i've ever seen a character do, this game is a masterpiece
I was already laughing pretty hard through that ending sequence and Vaati just discovering a completely different boss mid-credits, but yeah, the credits actually killed me.
@@cranapple3367 I feel like he probably had to mute his mic because he was laughing so hard. I had to pause the video yet again to catch my breath. The mine cart smashing into the door and yeeting Vaati off the map absolutely killed me. Part of that is hearing Pine also not being able to breathe from laughing so hard.
So, let me get this straight, I'm somewhere that's not what I would call earth. I'm seeing FREAKING rat people. And, oh yeah, I'm talking to a hologram!
"ratinity" is probably the rat-variant of humanity. Like "we fight for humanity"... but it's rats so "ratinity"- anyway, it doesn't matter. This game is wild for its dialogue alone.
It is very awkward, though. Also, I don't know why Ratfolk would want to be exclusively associated with their lesser intelligent branch species. Like if we referred to ourselves as monkeys. EDIT: Seems like this is even referenced in the game with "the R word" though they already said it themselves like 500 times by this point, so it makes no sense.
That was incredibly entertaining, the absurdity of the writing, the absolute jankyness of the combat, the bizzarre directions the story takes, was all amazing and I really enjoyed the dynamic and commentary you two had. I laughed so much and I was never once bored in the whole 2 hours.
Oh man. OH MAN. You're finally playing this one. Was hoping you'd do a video for it. I've played through it twice, shortly after release. It was absolutely some of the most fun I had with a game that year. Not because it was a great game. It was rough, to put it mildly. But the sheer weird insanity of the whole wild ride made it strangely compelling. Watching this kinda makes me wanna do another playthrough and see whatever strange outcomes I can stumble into... Great video!
Honestly I would watch every full playthrough of every game you play if you uploaded them, even unedited. I love listening to you talk/react to gameplay, and watching how you play game is always a blast
what a trip. please don't apologize for longer vids! i really enjoyed this, it was fun watch and i would love to see more like this one - longer coop plays or whatever else. very entertaining
Pineapple, I believe there is no other person on earth that knows the souls-like market like you do. Could you do a video where you list your absolute favorites?
Having watched a ton of Vaati content on his channel (and loving how good he is at making sense of the lore), I gotta say him so obviously resenting this game and the snide remarks is absolutely hilarious. Great bonus content!
@@Ciffer-1998 You mean casual racism? There's a lot of that in Skyrim. In the Witcher series humans are pretty much openly hostile towards everyone, especially Elves. Allthough Elves are also racists against Human, so both parties tend to step on themselves often.
I would hate to see this series die out just because the souls-like tag is limited. I wouldn't mind you try out other games on steam like "I played 10 games with less then 10 reviews" etc. Your commentary and pace of video makes it very relaxing and enjoyable to watch!
Oh, totally seconded! Part of what I love about this channel is the tiny games that almost no one sees, like the GameJam games and the Itchio titles. The variety to be found out there in the indie-game scene is astounding!
Kinda out of topic, but I love seeing content creators that usually make their videos with a serious tone and an eloquent voice with impeccable narrative casually play videogames because it let's you see a very interesting side of em
I loved how you and vaati really doubled down on the character having no idea what they were doing to then just take the side of anyone that talked to him.
this was a really funny watch!!! i think my favorite part is vaati being so done with this and whenever pineapple tries to start reaching about how the game is actually kinda good Vaati is like “yeah whatever you say man” LOL my favorite line was right after pineapple talked about the difficulty settings being a dark souls reference and they see the volcano level and talk about how it’s like bowsers castle, vaati says “oh i think this is a mario reference” LOL. vaati had me laughing so hard the whole time
i actually love that the game included that ending and actually gave it some legitimacy. in a lot of other games the protagonist would back out at the last minute and make you take the other option, or the ending cutscene would be minimal and basically just a fancy "game over" screen. but this game treated it as a legit choice (even if it really tries to talk you out of it), it gave each of the characters and factions epilogues and everything.
For the past year I thought this game was a bizarre fever dream, now I find out it was actually real?
Lore video on this game when?
We need the perplexing narratives of the Ratkin under oppressors.
Ratinity is the rat version of Humanity.
God i love both of you 😂😂😂. It was such a trip
It was so random at times.
*LORE TIME*
I love IP’s contented “I actually kind of like this,”
followed immediately by Vaati’s genuine discomfort
Vaati's little, "I'm having a time" at the start killed me.
The idea of a character who's just afraid to say no to someone and just does whatever the last person asked him to is hilarious

Honestly I love that Ilvar and the broken are completely missed and the only explanation we got in this video is cause they somehow avoided that entire faction. So the Rap is our only lore source here. That he was the one creating monsters to overthrow things to try and get the ship back together so he can leave.

Vaati's pause after IronPineapple starts talking about the post cred scene, followed by, "What are you even talking about," has got to be my favorite moment out of all of these videos.
The best parts are Pine desperately trying to get excited for the game and Vatti just being like "no" lol
Pine 🥴
Vaati: "It's becoming somewhat apparent to me that this game is bad..."
Pineapple: "I _KNOW,_ right? It's great how bad it is! =D"

this is truly the dividing wall. i love people like pine who jump into things headfirst with that sort of optimism and desperately believe the world needs more people like that but i am absolutely on the vaati side of "just because you're having a good time doesn't mean this is worthy of praise."

I actually think that's a hilarious concept. It's like Two-Face from Batman where he leaves everything up to the toss of a coin, but he leaves his decision up to the zingers. If he can think of a fun one-liner, he'll do it. If he can't think of one, he doesn't do it.
I appreciate the amount of "I just made a positive connection with this character, let's ruin it" options, very bold writing decision!
"I'm no assassin....They don't call me the Exterminator for nothing!"
Peak writing.
Right? 😂 I was thinking “when tf did anyone ever refer to him as the Exterminator??”
To be fair extermination doesn't require stealth or high class. Which I would expect from an assassin
Maybe the idea was,that he isn't one to fight from the shadows and defeat his enemies through trickery,but one to face his foes head on and that's exactly what he is going to do,
I think that was the intent, although that isn't the title of a valiant night or a payed assasin ,then how did he earn that moniker,is he the local butcher or what?
Ironically he ended up exterminating an entire planet, so they really don't call him the Exterminator for nothing 🤣
He may as well have said "Oh boy, here I go killing again!"
Going from hearing Vaati's sophisticated and soothing voice on his channel to now hearing him sound so apathetic and fed-up over this video game, is such a funny turn around. Props to him for being so patient for IP.
Pineapple talking to the boss at 43:13 and vaati just going “check this out” and leaping into action in the background genuinely made my side hurt.
The cut scene at 1:28:50 is so hilarious with Vati just silently hopping back and forth in the background. Genuinely one of the funniest things I have seen on your channel Pine and I've seen a lot of funny moments.
“I'm having a time.”

He's definitely one of the youtubers of all time

I CANNOT believe that someone wrote into the story "and then the hero stops a war by arguing for his enlightened worldview and concludes that he should marry the queen" which then everyone immediately agrees to, then the hero gets to jump into bed with the queen, being told he is the ruler now, and *immediately* signs Feminism into law, earning the claps of every enlightened being in the universe.
That is the MOST REDDITOR WRITING I HAVE EVER SEEN I LOVE IT
My buddy’s dad once convinced me to suffer through his self-insert trash fire of a science fiction “novel”, which he published through Amazon. It reads _just like that._ I haven’t spoken to that man in more than seven years, _specifically_ because I *do not want to talk about that goddamn book.*

It's just so high on cringe that I can't even take it seriously anymore and just laugh.
This has honestly been one of the most entertaining videos ive ever seen on youtube. Vaati and you are such a perfect pair for coop content and this game just encapsulates that perfectly. I loved every second of your downwards spiral of going from " what the f is that" to "Hay this is very good in a B Movie kinda way" While Vaati was constantly just "Are you high bro?"
01:52:00 has to be the most unexpected cutscene I saw in a game ever. If you didn't record it, I wouldn't have believed you if you told me that there's Ilvar rapping and the broken dancing
It was breakdancing too (definitely pun intended)
That came up literally out of NOWHERE lmaooo
its like lepurchaun in the hood when the lepurchaun raps at the end
you two zeroed in on "ratity" (which, others have pointed out is humanity) but I was still dying over "brathers" that flew entirely under the radar immediately beforehand. Friends, brathers, countryrats, lend me your big round ears!
*Frats, Brathers, Countryrats
Don't you mean "flew entirely under the ratdar"?
@@tomatooverlord2764doesn't even sound like the word
@@AC-hj9tvand Frats does?
Brathers is extra funny because the ratkin literally say "brothers" many times
As a train guy those locomotives in the mine section are based on real “smokeless” or pneumatic mining trains. It’s a weird detail to be so accurate, and the first time I have seen a mines section have you drive a locomotive instead of riding a car.
“as a train guy” just say you’re autistic
It's not surprising to me that the autistic redditor who designed this game also likes trains.
Fuck yeah, train lore.
Fuck yeah, train
I’m not train educated but I noticed the cart was actually powered and gravity/friction wasn’t magically ignored.
Just finished the video... What a wild, wild ride. I'm so glad you included all this footage. If nothing else, it was a comical pleasure watching you and Vaati make this journey together. Makes me miss the days of playing game with my brother back in the day. Thanks for the great stuff, as always. God bless you both.

this was the most fun i've ever had watching a youtube video. The whole thing felt like when you were a kid at a sleep over, you stayed up too late, and everything anyone says becomes absolutely hilarious. Thanks for this acid trip of a story.
JUst wait until you hear about Let's plays
Holy shit, the Big Ilvar rap song was the single funniest thing I’ve seen in years. I was actually crying laughing and had to catch my breath.
It was actually the best fucking conclusion lmao
that scene cemented this in my brain as amazing parody of itself
I think it's narrowly beaten out by the ragtime song at the end of Limbo of the Lost, but it's close.
Haven't cry laughed like that in ages
50:28 "I don't mind being subjectified" > Iron breaking into laugher into Vaati's "this guy is ALL OVER THE PLACE!...." was class.

Oh my God they made nazeem from Skyrim the protagonist. I can just hear him saying "You must not get to the cloud district very often"
in skyrim there was supposed to be a cloud district in whiterun.
keeping it is technically a bug that optimistic players see it as a feature.
@@gabbonoo I think the Cloud District refers to the district that contains the jarls palace actually
@@gabbonoo Yeah, like, it was probably meant to be more expansive, with the houses of particularly wealthy or influential families in there but the Cloud District still very much exists and is referenced by multiple sources in game, including a book titled "A Gentleman's Guide to Whiterun", written by the resident bard.
@@Pnic1193 true. i got the idea from somewhere that there was supposed to be more. maybe comparing it to oblivion's capital.
The Plains district is temporary market stalls, cheap shops, and lower class housing.
Wind District probably might have had the tomb, competitive families, inns, and smithing.
The cloud District (which is just the palace) probably would have also had the guild, temple, and maybe a very high tier trade group like an auction and/or skyforge trade.
Whiterun is the trading capital of skyrim and the palace isnt what i would call a district... it is clearly not amongst other facilities but it has enough that you could call it a district in a town instead of a major city since it has cells, studies, guest rooms, and a grand hall.
@@gabbonoo can't remember the NPC exactly but, as I said, the book insinuate the existence of three districts - the lower Plains District, the middle Wind District and the upper Cloud District.
Quote:
"At last we come to the Cloud District, exclusive domain of the Jarl's castle."
There are no signs of official written references to the names of each or any district so they're all likely just folk names to distinguish between the classes in the city.
I see no reason to take it in that weird "it's not real" direction because it goes into this weird intentional ignorance of intent vs execution and how Bethesda insinuates the existence of these larger things because, well, that's how these things are supposed to be and just because we may not have it 1to1 in game doesn't mean it's not so in the lore or the expected suspension of the player's disbelief.
Ex-member of the production team here:
I can confirm the writing of the main character was intentional, because when you think about it, it is not possible to allow players to make such profound decisions, so many times, with the main character not being mentally unstable / ironic about everything / fully existentially absurd.
Mentioning of the Gok in the epilogues is a bug caused by you completely skipping the optional negotiations with the Ratkins where the Queen would be assassinated by Gok and his raticals.
The game is intended to be replayed multiple times, in order to try different decisions and slowly put together all the pieces of the puzzle, but I understand, that it is not as pleasurable an experience as the devs wanted it to be, due to all those bugs. But, if it ended up good and relatively bug-free and you would be willing to play it more times, the whole story would start making more sense. It is intentionally written from a limited perspective of the main hero, though I admit that some characters and their reasoning could be explained way better.
As for the bugs, this game is much too ambitious for such a small team (apart from the art team there literally just a handful of programmers and a single scripter), there is just too many paths the game can take and the game focused primarily on the melee combat with quite a variety of melee weapons with special abilities (whereas you killed everything with magic ) + you can unlock some weapons only when you choose a specific path etc. and in the end the bugs were just pushed in front of us, nobody having enough time to fix them because there was always something new that had to be added or fix something even more game-breaking.
Alas we tried to make something monumental and worked really hard, so I am so grateful that at least you guys had such a good time.
>Raticals
Bro, stop. You're killing me.
I was laughing my ass off the entire video and now I want to play this with my coop buddy, you guys made an *experience*. Maybe not the one you intended but so very, very memorable.
I think it is actually possible to make a protagonist that makes a bunch of decisions, but isn’t annoying
Always nice to hear from a developer! I did think it was weird that i saw no programmers in the credits when i feel like programmers are usually what game studios have the most of. Which also felt like it explained a lot, at first it made me assume most of the game was made in UE blueprints by the level designers or something. Were there any animators on the team or was it kinda just artists doing whatever they can? I'm also curious what you worked on during your time there and what your experience was like?
@@MrHeadshotableWILDEST shit I’ve seen a dev use to explain away shit writing. Like bro just discounted every single other great video game protagonist of any game or franchise where you make decisions
@@SahiPieI think they mean specifically the ability to change your mind every time your (current) enemy engages in dialog with you.
The ending rap-scene that was straight out of a mid-2000's animated movie had me HOWLING
It's like the ending of Limbo of the Lost, which this game must have taken inspiration from
Sounded like a will smith song.
For a second, I thought Hotel Transylvania was mid-2000's movie. I was about to feel even older than I am.
@@LightTheMars Had the same thought, they had to have watched the Mandy review of it and wanted to do the same "third wall breaks, cast sings" bit
2000s *
You may be thinking of the apostrophe in '00s
i love the way that in every cutscene you can just see vaati fucking off and jumping around in the background
I love their decision to have the MC just agree to do whoever the last person they talked to asked them to do. They basically just became "Yes-man" from New Vegas lol
I need to try that gimmick sometime, just need the right game for it.
I watched the full thing and I gotta say you definitely don't have to apologize at the end there. This was a great watch from start to finish. You and Vati make a great duo and compliment each other in discussion, humor, and playstyle. I would love to see more longer playthroughs of games from ya'll. This game was hilarious especially with ya'll breaking all the bosses and glitching out or dying over and over for dumb reasons lol. Definitely wouldn't have been as funny solo. Thanks for the great content!
i cant believe at 1:11:47 Iron Pineapple would drop the hard R like that
Cancelled
im not really sure i can support him anymore knowing he would just do that.... might have to unsub :/
Maaan, don't say hard R, that's the actual term lol. I guess in context it's more like dropping the kin, but dropping as in leaving off?
rat！
That "big ilvar" music video alone was worth the 2-hour lead-up to it tbh
Also, i'm actually super curious now about what the other outcomes would've been because it does SEEM like the game has a lot of story variation. (again, SEEMS that way, it could be an "all roads lead to rome" situation).
The "being thow into fire and reborn from ashes' from the rat prophecy probably has something to do with the planet destroying weapon. Maybe he DID stop the ship once, but lost his memories, while the rat's ancestors saw what happened...
Usually I complain about games having no soul but this one had so much and lacked everything else.
Game was like a fever dream.
Try Indika.
Not only did your honest review likely steer me towards V Raising, which I appreciate, but you also recommended a game that may not be my usual choice, yet you did not lie about it. After watching a two-hour video on The Last Oricru, I am now convinced that it is a must-buy for me. It could easily pass as a B-List movie, and some B-List games are actually quite enjoyable. I may not play it in co-op mode, but I am intrigued to experience it in single player. Your content, along with Vaati's, has truly influenced my interest in this game. I suggest creating more longer videos like this one as they provide me with longer entertainment while I work.
I love how the cutscenes are in real time. So the co-op partner can just run into frame doing random stuff
Don't forget that Vaati just stumpled into a different ending :D
That final "cutscene" (no spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet) was the greatest thing I've ever seen, and I only experienced it at the end of this video - I can only imagine what it was like seeing that at the end of an entire playthrough. Holy shit.
Tbf why would anyone pick that ending as their first playthrough?
@@kadinallan2436 You did not watch far enough and are commenting on the wrong "cutscene" lmao
I'm getting Mystery of the Druids flashbacks.
Could you imagine playing through that entire game, being absolutely exhausted, only to be blasted with the single best piece of media in the 21st century
Reminds me of the secret D&D cut scene in Summoner
Vaati's "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" when IP explained the rap/dance cutscene made me wake my children up with laughter. Nothing funnier than an irritated and confused Australian.
"What was the context?"
"THERE WAS NO CONTEXT" had me dying hahaha
The whole last 10 minutes were unbelievable. Vaati's story of stumbling into a boss fight during the credits was just one absurd development after another, and I cannot imagine anything weirder to punctuate the end of the game...until the rap.
8:30 "Was that a weapon?!" proceeds to stretchyman float away
I want to give mad respect to your honesty in the sponsored segment. You didn't claim to be a massive fan of the game, or claim to have played it *constantly*. You're honest and say you've read reviews, and recommend others to do the same. It's nice to see something like this.
Gotta give credit to the game too, most companies when ytbers ask if they can make an honest review, refuse for obvious reasons...
@@SaymavenI’m not saying no companies do that because it for sure happens, but it is definitely not “most”

@@DanielFerreira-ez8qdhow does one even do that considering the ending of YIIK was just everyone except the protagonist dies?!
Bought this game this afternoon despite your recommendation, played through it all single player, story difficulty. The gameplay left a lot to be desired, but wasn't annoying at any point. I love branching story narratives and open-world adventures.
And despite taking a pretty different route, I got the same big ilvar cutscene post credits. Great video, thank you for giving this game the long-form review it deserves.
So for that ghost boss, the gates were meant to prevent it from fleeing to the opposite side of the arena. You trap it between two gates so you can reach it (granted it stays still randomly anyways but)
But it also just goes straight through the gates
That ending was a 12/10. Did not expect to get slammed by that absolute banger after such a bizarre two hour viewing session.
Loved it.
The fun fact: If you resist annihilating the planet, Naborou people would kill the queen and try to attack rats to get rich life back, but fail and Ratkins would ENSLAVE small amount of Naborou people that left alive
Thats wild i really was kinda curious on what some of the other choices might have been or what consequences their were because this was so crazy it doesnt entirely seem like it would just end all sunshine and rainbows if you picked some of the other endings.
I always believed in YIIKman.
No way, did they actually get the good ending wtf
Once a rat...
That's pretty nuanced given how simplistic other parts of the game are.
This protagonist is the new Detective Halligan from Mystery of the Druids. Always mildly perturbed his insane actions aren't immediately forgiven, and always ready to non-chalantly do things only a horrible person would do while acting like he's just gone to grab the meal deal at Tesco.
YES! He even sounds like him
Someone should check, if it is the same writer.
And send a copy to Mandalore😁
Oh god, you're right, that's actually who he reminded me off.
Weird, cause I love Halligan. Maybe it's the fact everyone in Mystery of the Druids actively hates Halligan and shits on him every chance they get outside of the main girl.
@@Cr3zant He's a fun character, just not one you'd ever want to meet in your life.
This was one of the most entertaining videos you've ever made, Pineapple. PLEASE more long format stuff!
_"Insufferable Twat: The Co-op Video Game"_
The unintentional humour is stellar.... seeing Vaati's hologram running around in the background of cut scenes, getting into fights & falling off ledges while Pine's character changes sides for the umpteenth time is too funny 🤣👍
The parallels between this game and Two Worlds is insane - except in two worlds every other npc but the one you're stuck talking to continues to do whatever they're doing which most of the time is shooting you with fireballs
1:09
Trust me, I’ve read more than enough LitRPG books to be VERY familiar with protagonists like that. Either the author has a plan for them, or it’s best to abandon ship and get a refund while you still have time
With a character like that, you've either decided to create a story around an intentionally unlikable lead learning humility and going through a journey of self-reflection and maturity (that's good ^_^ ).
Or you created an OC who you think is the coolest guy ever (maybe not so good :/ )
@@leithaziz2716 Exactly!
On the flip side, they make for PERFECT villains to hate early on, before you get to the BBEG - no complex machinations, no deeper meaning, just a one note bad guy to get the hero started on their journey to face the ACTUAL threat to the kingdom, or universe, or whatever
Fellow LitRPG nerd here, I think it's insanely unfortunate that one of the first in the genre to really blow up was the Chaos Seeds books. I honestly liked the series (until book 8 obviously), but not every litRPG protagonist needs to be a sarcastic gamer. It has gotten old, and I'm fairly certain a lot of that has come from that series.
Or maybe it's because sarcastic gamers are the people writing the stories. It could be either, really.
As someone who has spent far too much time on royalroad, it's almost certainly the latter.
@@Distophiceyy, glad to see a fellow enjoyer of the platform :P
1:45:14 isnt that the summary of this game? You saved the ratkin warrior, united him with the fire clan and the undid everything at the end, then you helped Regulus with his quests when finaly you decided to undo everything for the Queen, of wich you helped to making peace and end slavery to just, yet again, undo EVERYTHING because some told you so. Two words for Silver/Jason: Congrat Ulations.
I feel like the game shouldn't have allowed you to flip-flop that much, that's the thing.
Him not doing the side quest to go get the fire guy (and possibly killing the other ratkin) also put that ratkin regulus planned to have assassinate the queen in power. Which seems like would have killed her anyway if he didnt blow up the entire planet at the end. So i guess there is an actual chance to have a decent ending, but it doesnt fix the main character in any shape or form lol.
@@7Ryong7You know, on one hand, I have to begrudgingly give the game credits for it allowing you to just constantly flip-flop on *everything*. It completely destroys any semblance of logical story progression, but it's kinda cool the Devs decided to let the player do it anyways.
Those cutscenes were so well animated at some situations! Which really leads me to think that is the main part of the game where the most time has been spent. And so many little mechanics! I think that they considered players to choose one side and stick to it. As we can see, everything is mixed and weird if you do not do that.
the contrast between the evidently high production value (even if that value was put to... questionable use) and the godawful audio quality on all the dialogue takes me out every single time
I lost it at 31:35 when the mine cart just exploded when it collided
Ive said it many times before, but again wanted to show my support for just playing whatever you want to play besides souls likes. The format you made for these kind of videos is just so great and your personality and writing is super enthertaining. Do what you want to do, i think i talk for a lot of people that we'll genuinely support you whatever you do.
Long time ago, Peeve and Oroboro made a run on DS1 together and was the most hilarious thing I can remember. Today, seeing you and Vaati play together, took me way back and made me giggle and happy beyond all reason. I really hope to see you two play stuff like this more and more as a dinamic duo! Thanks for this fantastic video ❤
You have no idea how much I respect the sponsor angle of admitting when you haven't played the game but voicing a genuine interest in it. A lot of UA-camrs get sponsorships from games they never played and don't disclaim that so that transparency is honestly really cool of you.
I definitely appreciate his honesty but I don't know how I feel about advertising a game you never played, even if you're upfront about it
@@civilizedmonkey1795 if you’re up front about it it shouldn’t really matter, because people already know to take it with a grain of salt. Even if the game doesn’t end up being good there’s no harm in him taking their money.
@@civilizedmonkey1795 the thing is, the game itself has good ratings already, and what it needs is just an advertisement to the right audience. And im sure IP's subscribers are somewhat correct audience judging by the gameplay shown.
@@eldonhill4840 Supporting a game you know nothing about isn't a good thing.
Pretty sure if you are sponsored you legit legally have to disclose it
this was genuinely the most funny serious-not serious game I've ever seen. There are some actually some really interesting faction and choice-making decisions, but then it all goes down the drain when the main character speaks or does anything. 600/3 masterpiece.
Making your character just pick whatever first option he was presented with made the game much more entertaining.
This is definitely a tribute to games like Limbo of the Lost and The Mystery of The Druids. Bizarre ass gameplay and nonsensical stories woven together with amazingly stilted voice acting. I'm hooked, ngl
Willing to be incinerated for your belief and then immediately just losing all resolve and kowtowing to a queen is legitimately the funniest thing i've ever seen a character do, this game is a masterpiece
I laughed my ass off when the NPC simply stole his coop buddy's katana
and then procedes to not see that guy for the whole game.
For me it was the "I'm not racist" followed by the girl saying anyone who says that is racist
The post credit scene is some of the hardest I've ever laughed, I was genuinely in pain during that part from laughing that hard
I was already laughing pretty hard through that ending sequence and Vaati just discovering a completely different boss mid-credits, but yeah, the credits actually killed me.
Pineapple going complete stunned silence really sells the...joke?
@@cranapple3367 I feel like he probably had to mute his mic because he was laughing so hard. I had to pause the video yet again to catch my breath. The mine cart smashing into the door and yeeting Vaati off the map absolutely killed me. Part of that is hearing Pine also not being able to breathe from laughing so hard.
I don’t get to game much anymore so your videos give me the fix I need and it also gives me games to look forward to, keep it going man!
So, let me get this straight, I'm somewhere that's not what I would call earth. I'm seeing FREAKING rat people. And, oh yeah, I'm talking to a hologram!
These are surely the pathways into darkness.
They fly now.

"I know this video is way too long." Brother, I'd watch the entire unedited playthrough and not get bored. You two have great chemistry
This plot is on the level of Neil Breen films. Just screams of a clueless main developer making a self-insert game.
I will give them credit, it's more entertaining than most self-inserts.
@@delrunplays2903 Sometimes you have to love the redditors lol
an absolute masterpiece of a video, i hope we get some more of you and vaati for longer stuff
I love how in almost every dialog Vaati is checking if he can jump into his death
This game getting published gives me confidence in my writing. You can't convince that any editor took this script seriously, though
"ratinity" is probably the rat-variant of humanity. Like "we fight for humanity"... but it's rats so "ratinity"- anyway, it doesn't matter. This game is wild for its dialogue alone.
Yes! Thank you! I picked up on that immediately. Was hard to watch them try to figure that out 😂
It is very awkward, though. Also, I don't know why Ratfolk would want to be exclusively associated with their lesser intelligent branch species. Like if we referred to ourselves as monkeys. EDIT: Seems like this is even referenced in the game with "the R word" though they already said it themselves like 500 times by this point, so it makes no sense.
they're called ratkin most of the game.... just say ratkind lmao!!!
"Ratkind" would've worked way better...
Hey, man. You can't just use the hard R like that.
That was incredibly entertaining, the absurdity of the writing, the absolute jankyness of the combat, the bizzarre directions the story takes, was all amazing and I really enjoyed the dynamic and commentary you two had. I laughed so much and I was never once bored in the whole 2 hours.
Oh man. OH MAN. You're finally playing this one. Was hoping you'd do a video for it. I've played through it twice, shortly after release. It was absolutely some of the most fun I had with a game that year. Not because it was a great game. It was rough, to put it mildly. But the sheer weird insanity of the whole wild ride made it strangely compelling. Watching this kinda makes me wanna do another playthrough and see whatever strange outcomes I can stumble into... Great video!
Honestly I would watch every full playthrough of every game you play if you uploaded them, even unedited. I love listening to you talk/react to gameplay, and watching how you play game is always a blast
Would especially want this for Clash: Artifacts of Chaos.
what a trip. please don't apologize for longer vids! i really enjoyed this, it was fun watch and i would love to see more like this one - longer coop plays or whatever else. very entertaining
Pineapple, I believe there is no other person on earth that knows the souls-like market like you do. Could you do a video where you list your absolute favorites?
Having watched a ton of Vaati content on his channel (and loving how good he is at making sense of the lore), I gotta say him so obviously resenting this game and the snide remarks is absolutely hilarious. Great bonus content!
01:52:00 what...........THE.............FUUUUUUUUUCK ?!?!?!? that SURE was a game, and that SURE was a way to end a game, WHAT?!?
Dude... That was a banger.
I laughed so hard I cried
BIG ILVAR 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
Kind of wild to hear the line "I'm not a racist, but..." in a fantasy sci fi rpg
Yeah that was crazy lmao
its kind of weird how its not more common in fantasy games especially a lot of them have racist characters
These kinds of things get explored quite often in east-euro RPGs
this line would fit perfectly in an elder scrolls game
@@Ciffer-1998 You mean casual racism? There's a lot of that in Skyrim. In the Witcher series humans are pretty much openly hostile towards everyone, especially Elves. Allthough Elves are also racists against Human, so both parties tend to step on themselves often.
I'm so happy you ended up uploading this footage. It was one of the most fun vids I've watched in recent memory. Keep doing what you do Pine
I would hate to see this series die out just because the souls-like tag is limited. I wouldn't mind you try out other games on steam like "I played 10 games with less then 10 reviews" etc. Your commentary and pace of video makes it very relaxing and enjoyable to watch!
Oh, totally seconded! Part of what I love about this channel is the tiny games that almost no one sees, like the GameJam games and the Itchio titles. The variety to be found out there in the indie-game scene is astounding!
Honestly the concept of putting one player in a boss fight while the other player watches the credits is hilarious
I think he was not supposed to find that boss fight 😅
Kinda out of topic, but I love seeing content creators that usually make their videos with a serious tone and an eloquent voice with impeccable narrative casually play videogames because it let's you see a very interesting side of em
LOVED this video!
Do more like this; you and vaatividya just playing for 2h, i could watch that for a whole day!
I loved how you and vaati really doubled down on the character having no idea what they were doing to then just take the side of anyone that talked to him.
this was a really funny watch!!! i think my favorite part is vaati being so done with this and whenever pineapple tries to start reaching about how the game is actually kinda good Vaati is like “yeah whatever you say man” LOL
my favorite line was right after pineapple talked about the difficulty settings being a dark souls reference and they see the volcano level and talk about how it’s like bowsers castle, vaati says “oh i think this is a mario reference” LOL.
vaati had me laughing so hard the whole time
I love that the ending to all of that was “fuck it i dunno just glass the planet and be done with it”
i actually love that the game included that ending and actually gave it some legitimacy. in a lot of other games the protagonist would back out at the last minute and make you take the other option, or the ending cutscene would be minimal and basically just a fancy "game over" screen. but this game treated it as a legit choice (even if it really tries to talk you out of it), it gave each of the characters and factions epilogues and everything.
It’s a shame this video didn’t hit the same view count as the other ones of this series because it was hilarious and one of your best vids IMO
