Controversial opinion; but I like the fact that Joe was new to this game when he streamed it. It really shows the brilliant simplicity of the game. That and Joe's personality is great for this because when he misplays, which is quite a bit, he turns it into a joke.
Late to the convo but anyway: One big thing about Joe that people forget is that he is playing "blind", it's not related to in-game hours of experience, it's just easy for others to end up looking for good strategies online (on purpose or not), busted cards, meme builds, speedruns etc. Which is something that kills a strategy game for me. Like, next time you play you will either be purposefully avoiding the busted speedrun build, or following a how-to-win. Speaking from experience with Darkest Dungeon, not the same game but still.
I'm pretty certain majority of people don't actually resort to pilfering busted strategies and ideas when it comes to this game, because it lacks absolutely any incentive to do so; like a multiplayer competitive aspect, or any depth hiding outside the player's view. Its difficulty curve is almost a flat line because of how masterfully it explains everything the player needs to know
Also chat: "Let's all vote to give him Alchemize, and then also all vote to give him Sozu to make Alchemize useless." Absolute 4head. Edit: I'm glad he played Alchemize anyway, just to grill chat for their misplay, after chat grills him so hard for his, they go and make a misplay that big.
@@fangsup726 I mean if they're always gonna pick the obvious choices, then might as well turn the twitch integration off because what's even the point?
At 3:10:45 Playing Crippling Cloud, Deadly Poison, Burst and Adrenaline - in this order - would have been really could. Joe would've drawn 4 cards, gotten 4 energy and could've bursted Catalyst afterwards.
These have been the first Slay the Spire videos I've enjoyed, even if chat makes some infuriating choices at times (RIP potions). Would really love to see him play again, perhaps with some mods since they're pretty well done. Slimebound was good, and there seems to be many other characters that also have full card sets.
Hey, since this was around half a year ago, a fairly large unlockable was recently added. I'm not sure how much you like coming back to games after they get updated, it's just a suggestion.
1:47:18 Alchemize/Sozu play

First run starts at 2:58
Thanks for posting these. Hope you return to the game someday. Very enjoyable stream.
Chat: JOE PLAYS TO SLOWLY, WAAAH, WAAAAH"
Also chat: let's make it so he keeps his entire hand to explode the amount of possible choices

Please come back to this game! They added a fourth character which I think you would really like.
Thanks for posting all of them Joe. Really enjoyed watching.
I learned from this run that Joe knows better than his Twitch viewers.
Joe trying to understand Loop physically hurts me
57:32 fan-art bit, 2:40:49 A little overkill LOL

as someone who plays this. what is this unlockable? am i dense? did i just get it and go "oh neat" and forget? what is it?
@TheBilateralGamer OH that yeah did a total "whoops there goes my brain." thanks for clarification.
@TheBilateralGamer he already knows about the new character and is waiting for it to leave beta afaik. i asked him on stream a few days ago
Watching these inspired me to play some StS again.. and I got my favorite run yet. 25 goddamn relics in one game (or more, got points for having 25+)
Your streams are like pie in spiderman. So good..
I'm sad he didn't check out the alchemize beta art, it's the best in the game.
Aroundthe 30 minute mark. Huh, didn't you already make a video on Return of the Obra Dinn?
This is from like half a year ago.
@@Dawwe9505 Oh, it says 24.09.19 for me as upload date. Didn't know it's so long ago.
@@dominokos he's uploading them now but the streams themselves took place a good few months back
@@flavouredwater1097 I understand.
@@dominokos sorry if I was just reiterating what somebody said my bad
Sozu became a very cruel meme
😎👌
What are you drinking all the time? You slurp it all the time, but it's not something hot, is it? Why do you slurp it instead of drinking?
It's tea, the meme is that he sips louder the more BS something is
