    Originally there wasn't supposed to be vector 2 at all. First game was developed with social media in mind, mobile platforms were just an additional side projects just in case if everything else fails, it was during that time when Facebook games were a thing, main priority was to target that along with russian facebook clone VK, that had a strong footing with typical grindy p2w games at that time. In original game there are three levels, but they had much more ambitious plans for the future, internally in game files the level ID's are marked all the way up to level 9, where 10-1 is a tutorial version of 1-1 (yes, tutorial 1-1 and actual 1-1 are the two different levels). Also some time after technopark was released they made a poll in VK about what people want to see in next level, there were three options: high-speed subway, chemical plant and the third one that I forgot :(
    It was before they added 3-11, meaning the canonical end of a game wasn't implemented yet. They also planned to add an infinite run mode as well as pvp, but it seems like they discarded those very quickly as the in-game teasers for those were removed almost immediately after they put them. At least we got lots of bonus levels and chase mode, so it's not all that bad. As for why they decided to go for a sequel there's an interview with CEO of Nekki from when vector 2 launched explaining that they had to pull a plug on vector 1 due to how social media gaming was almost dead by that point and shadow fight 2 turned out to be a much more greater success than they thought and they actually made their choice much earlier than what you said in the video. Originally though, they wanted to make some soft of a add-on or a spinoff called Vector Labs, but after they put some work into that, they decided to rename a project and call it a sequel while it never really was supposed to be one.

      Holy heck, that explains so much. Thank you for all this info I'll be sure to credit you in my next video about Floor 35, and if possible do you happen to have links to the interview or page for the voting stuff? I checked out Nekki's VK account, but I can't go farther without signing in and I'm not Russian. I'll try some way to find them, but if you happen to have them available it'll be a huge help. Thanks again you're awesome

    I despise the gameplay loop of Vector 2 so much, grindy as hell, until you've unlocked all the pieces of equipment and upgrades to survive traps X times per run you're forced to these stupid moments of "Oh there is a mine, AND a laser combo at the same time! Gosh, should I lose one use of my boots and take on the mine, or the laser?" until you run out and when the next one of these doubles shows up you're just dead, it locks progression behind luck of not facing a double instead of you failing own your own, such a weird implementation and it feels so bad and artificial, like "Sorry mate, you're too good at this, you gotta die on this floor, comeback with better gear lmao".

      ​@@Nekkodude With the recent updates that added dungeons and seasonal bosses, Shadow Fight 2's grinding has never felt more forgiving. I actually managed to beat the whole game, though I am stuck on the last miniboss on hard mode, which is considered borderline impossible, even in the early days.
      The co-op dungeons are quite fun with each boss having unique characteristics that can either make them difficult or make them exploitable. The rewards come naturally if you perform well. The one thing I've learnt in my playthrough is to be smart with the weapons you buy(if you want to remain f2p). Know what each weapon type does and what unqiue attacks they have, so that you can comfortably fight against weapons that you understand.

    I played Vector 2 in its release and as the stages go it got harder and harder, but what bothered me is the fact it didn't have a conclusion to all the escaping parkour, we just finish a random stage and suddenly it's over. It isn't like the first Vector, where he is captured after everything, in Vector 2 there is no ending, no satisfaction or lore, it's just an infinite mazed prision full of lasers that never ends, just like a nightmare. The publishers abandoned the game and then suddenly removed of Play Store. That's when the first game got uploaded with many more content to have a new life, it's almost the same case as Minecraft 2.

If you plan ahead you can essentially keep stacking armor and keys to be unbeatable. Decided to end it by stacking the currency multiplier when taking damage and burn thru 500+ charges which gave me unlimited currency.

    @sametaor 25 днів тому +6

    I remember playing Vector 2 a lot, trying to get to the end, not realising it never had one to begin with. But I thought of returning to it back in 2022 and completed the game (with the entire series up on my yt channel, btw). Safe to say, it's far from perfect, but I absolutely love the artstyle it has, and as you mentioned the music, it's a must-have album for me, the music alone is worth it. Vector 2 is a chore, yes, but I felt that once you get the hang of it, it feels a lot like the daily levels in Vector's remastered version. Then there's the Vectorier community built around the PC version of Vector that is essentially a modloader for it. Those guys even made a Vector 2 clone that almost felt like the original game.
    Then there's a lot of fanart, including that of my friend, Kerial, who is also a fan of the Vector series just like you and me. Both of us even collabed for a while on a small comic that's set in Vector's background, and we aim to tell what happens next through the power of fiction.
    So even though Vector 2 may have gotten a lot less traction in its time, it has built such a large community around, even within the Shadow Fight community, that it's almost synonymous with Vector and Shadow Fight. And that's why I think that if they were to recreate Vector 2 properly after doing a proper remaster of the original, people would actually try playing it as well.
    The grindfest Vector 2 gave really feels like nothing as compared to what you have to do to progress in Shadow Fight 2, 3 and Arena as well. People love the grindfests as long as it's rewarding and grabs people's attention. But I definitely agree on this when comparing both Vector and its remastered version.

    • @Nekkodude
      @Nekkodude  24 дні тому +2

      Well said, I'm glad to see the Vector community is still thriving, and I think that's pretty cool that you and a friend collabed on a comic. Vector deserve more media stuff, like a movie/animation about Vector would've been awesome.
      It's also the first time I've heard of Vectorier, but it goes to show how much Vector still means to players even after Nekki shutdown 2 and remastered 1. Who knows maybe Nekki will take notice and create an amazing Vector 2 Remaster. (And I also agree, the Shadow Fight series was a pain in the butt to play without premium)

I vaguely remember having to plan ahead for obstacles that I could not avoid and it just killed it for me. Trial and error is one thing. Another is being punished for something unavoidable.

  • @EliteFreeman
    @EliteFreeman 19 днів тому +2

    i remember going to level 50 and above. i loved the premise of the game (im a big sci fi kinda guy), but what killed the experience was it just became a roguelite runner with less of the skill checks and more of 'do you have this specific upgrade with you/ do you have enough armor?' checks. At times in vector 2 you can choose alternate routes, where you either use a keycard to go using a safer area (safe IF your armor is good enough cuz on higher levels both are a trap) or a more trap filled area. It also becomes a game of which armor do i wanna sacrifice. The armor gimmick works sometimes but in later levels its just near impossible sometimes. I only reached level 50 and above because i had this one upgrade which let you teleport from one location to another. Sometimes teleporting you to the end. The layout of the maps was also very predictable until the 2nd chapter. by the time you reach that chapter you are so used to memorizing the old ones that the new ones hit like a truck. also each run starts with some predefined gear, so starting with level 1 gear to level 25 or above seems ludicrous to me (still reached like level 27 but thanks to teleport).
    The lore of the game is something which was very cool to me at the time and still would be if they revisit it someday. Overall as a child i would rate it an 8/10 but now imma put it down to 6/10.
    ALSO MICROTRANSACTIONS AND ENERGY SYSTEM on a running game goddamn
    since i did boast about level 50+ i might as well say i got all the collectibles and lore.

      I agree that without actual skills from regular rogulikes it feels lacking, especially since Vector 2 is cool as a concept. Also nice on getting all the collectables that's literally what I do for a lot of games. If there's something missing it always bugs me and end up replaying stages to find it.

  • @frostsoul4199
    @frostsoul4199 6 днів тому +1

    since i played Vector 2 i can provide some insights to the game. for a start you're no longer being chased so there's much less tension with fewer penalties for messing up, especially if you make it to the late game stages. the only threats throughout the levels are the traps such as bombs, lasers, flamethrowers and drones. each of these has an armor type that counters the damage. once that armor piece runs out of health that trap will kill you. this can be especially frustrating since the levels and traps are randomly generated. so you'll more often than not, run across a crossroad that'll guarantee you'll run into a trap. there are even some split paths but the safer route can only be opened if you found a key for it, or you have the armor piece that allows you to bypass these blocked paths with a limited amount of uses. and since all of your armors can be upgraded the game becomes a tedious grind. speaking as someone who made it to the last stage, these levels become in exercise in frustration and patience since you need to be lucky enough to get a stage where you can avoid the most amount of obstacles. and the story doesn't even get a conclusion here either.

    4:01 S… Sensei..? Is that you?
    It's always nice to watch a video about a (somewhat) obscure game people don't seem to talk about anymore, and I'd like to offer my own experiences as someone who did play Vector 2.
    I actually like Vector 2. I remembered playing the original game and thinking it was cool, but ironically I thought that game was grindy so I gave up on it pretty early. When I saw Vector 2 released, I decided to try it out. To be honest, I think I remember when I was playing the free version of the game, I was a little frustrated by the grind, which reminded me of the first game and never having enough coins to buy tricks. But I needed offline games to play since I was travelling a lot, so I caved in and ended up paying for the premium version. I ended up buying it pretty early on, so my experience is different than someone who didn't pay.
    Allow me to blow your mind, and offer you a different perspective. While the original Vector is a pretty linear experience, Vector 2 is actually a roguelite. Maybe this is why some people were turned off by the game and think it's grindy, but the roguelite elements are why I like the game. But I can understand why people did not like it, since it's basically a different genre of game.
    If you think about it: The items and upgrades you receive after beating each level are random. The traps are random as well. And to progress in Vector 2, you eventually unlock different gear/items, and additional upgrades for those items as well - A sort of meta-progression that many rougelites have nowadays.
    Like any good roguelike should, the game rewards the player for being knowledgeable about it. A lot of the traps later on will force you to take damage and force you to make a choice. The more you know about general layouts you will be better able to mitigate/spread the damage between your different equipment, as different traps do different damage to different parts. For example, lasers are commonly involved in "make your choice" type layouts. They deal damage to chest equipment, and your chest armor will always start with the most HP. Additionally, lasers are pretty easy to avoid outside these traps. And so, a player who knows this stuff will 9 times out of 10 choose to tank the laser damage. There's also stuff like purposely not taking the smoothest animation all the time, such a laser at the end of table. If you vault over the table smoothly, you will take damage from the laser. But if you choose to jump on top of the table manually, you can then jump off the table and over the laser. With the addition of challenges, you might also want to approach obstacles in different ways, since the challenge you complete could give you the extra points you need to unlock the next gear resupply.
    The game also has some nice progression, such as with the red ultimate upgrades you unlock. Of course, the experience is probably different in the F2P version of the game, I don't know if these upgrades are unlocked as easily... But of course! Every roguelite has its awesome OP items/upgrades that change how you play the game, and in Vector 2 they are the quantum dash (teleport) and EMP. This loops back to the knowledge part, as these items run on a cooldown timer. So it might be more beneficial for the player to purposely slow down, and get just a few more seconds to recharge these and dodge the next "make your choice" layout.
    However, the game will eventually counter this with the swarm, which will damage you if you're too slow. That's just one example of it, but this gives the game a sort of constant arms race feel, where the game keeps introducing new traps and layouts over time, while the player too will unlock new gear and upgrades to counter it - along with the knowledge to work around the traps too.
    Okay. That's that. I've watched your Sumotori dreams video before, and now this video seems cool too, so I've decided to share my thoughts. To be honest, I haven't actually gone to floor 35, so I didn't know the game was unfinished. But it makes me a little sad now that I know about that. I don't know if I did a good enough job summing up how I feel about this game. Maybe I could've made it more concise or maybe I've forgotten something else I wanted to mention, but I've spent too long on this comment to scrap it. I hope you don't mind essays in your comments section, and please keep up the cool videos.

      Vector 2 being a roguelike makes so much sense now, dang. I also really like how you explained your experience with the game both good and bad. I guess Nekki were trying to experiment with the sequel since one flaw Vector 1 had that I didn't mention in both videos is that there was little replayability. At first the story and mystery was good, but after you finish it, there's literally nothing else to do other than maybe 3 star all the levels or try out the Hunter Mode.
      I also glad that you liked my Sumotori Video despite it being the one that had a few errors since I didn't research fully. As for Floor 35, you're in luck because the next video will be about just that since there's a whole rabbit hole surrounding it. Thanks again for watching my videos!

    I played the heck outta Vector 2. It actually WAS good, but punishing at times, because for not having blue keycards/hack modification you were meant to take the damage on any of your guard pieces you get by playing well. And those traps correspond to the stuff you wear, i.e. the boots have damage absorption for the mines, armguards for the electricity fields, breastplate for the lasers etc. So you had a choice to either take off a chatge from the armor or end the run prematurely. And if your run was hella succesful, you get better armor, charges for them, credits, and the new addition, "better modifiers", which basically give credits and points for doing some specific actions, like spending a key or taking a damage, etc. It would take out the grind, as because i still vividly remember how i accidentally broke the game by breaking the highscore.
    The game WAS good, but could've been better if it wasn't so punishing.

      @Nekkodude we all wanted vector 2, just not THIS vector 2

    Nah man screw the Vector remaster. They monetized the hell out of it and turned it into a grind because they knew they weren’t gonna be able to do that with Vector 2. Only saving Grace is that you can buy the original game for like a dollar or something.

      Did they really make it that bad? I'm kinda sad to hear that, because it sounds like they were basically milking the Vector 1 nostalgia to make a quick buck, I haven't tried it yet but I hope it's not that bad.

      That's Yakuza Like a Dragon, the 7th in the series, I never got into the series since I don't have a console apart from a Switch, but it's a really good game.

    I got stuck at the beginning of the game. I can't pass the Advanced protocol since you have to survive a lot of levels and I don't have enough armour to get there, since a lot of obstacles are forced on you and you lose armour, which completely made me rage quick at some point and made me always restart ar floor 8.
    Either ways, agree that the soundtrack is really good and your video overall. Nice one

      They really should've made it so that the difficulty gradually increases and put all the unavoidable obstacles later so that way at least you'll have enough armor for it. Also thanks I'm glad you enjoyed my video!

    Your channel should have at least 40,000 followers.

      Man that would be nice, but I'm still grateful for all the subscribers I have now just like you, you guys are what motivate me to keep making these videos and hopefully one day it'll be my full time job.
