- Wanted to try something new-or rather, old, since this is what I've wanted to make from the beginning, but I didn't have any editing skills back then. Let me know what you guys think.

At last i will be able to see the full story of this game, unhindered by my utter and complete lack of skill with the game
this. it's pretty fascinating how they recreated an RA2 plot on steroids, but every time i try to get into MO i get overwhelmed by all the shit going on as well as tons of units and end up not continuing after a few missions in. i always wanted to get to know the full story as well and am really thankful somebody puts in the effort to retell it in this video format
A few missions in is still further than I get. I keep dying to the first enemy group in the first Epsilon mission XD@@sulik6228
Tbh it's not your fault their level design and approach to difficulty is just not good.
@@EugenijusKrenis MO missions are very hard, but if you have hard (saying this as pvp player) time with the very basics, then maybe MO is not for you.
@@АгентКГБ-м2я it's rote spamming and breaking trough lasagna layers of enemies turning this into an endurance test of constantly clicking down the correct build orders while aware of upcoming threats after a replay, I just refuse to partake in this repetitive nonsense. It's absolutely a design approach not skill issue.
just for extra context, the war in mental omega starts in 1982 a full decade later than in the original red alert 2 (1972).
Sure is brilliant, the fact that the Soviets and Yuri's Epsilons had to delay for another year so prevent the debacles in Red Alert 2's Allied campaign and also in Yuri's Revenge.
@@michaelandreipalon359 . those years of difference changed a lot. china and latin confederation, the US relations with other allied nations souring, the launch of a tv satellite the soviets later used to guide their launch of MIDAS and even the cyborg technology being reclaimed by them.
but most importantly, einstein is nowhere around.
Wait, it can't be a sequel, can it? That'd make no sense
@@Arthas972 You'll see later in the mod that there's an old Chronosphere on Antarctica, and adding that with Yuri's supposed foresight when it comes to talking with the Epsilon player character, the Proselyte...
Oh, and it's also a sequel/spin-off of the Tiberian Sun mod Twisted Insurrection. Suffice to say, it involves a break-in to a Chronosphere on storage.
@@Arthas972the 2.0 mod is a sequel and the Time Machine implies that someone tried to change this history, possibly Yuri
Jose Arcadio Morales 😆 when i heard it, i knew it can't be a coincidence. Cool reference by the mod devs 👍
I had no idea this was a thing, and I've been singing the praises of RA2+YR ever since '04. Thank you for this!
It's worth a try, because this is not mere expansion, rather prequel, sequel and retelling of original RA2/YR. It has so many new units, game modes, and MP features. Personally it's one of my top three mods of all time.
I love Mental Omega, the storyline especially. I'm happy that someone is making a video series on it. Also great storytelling and editing skills keep it up!
The A.I. Voice of Yuri sounded so good. I would certainly like it if you would use it more.
I haven't heard from Udo Kier in years, he'd probably voice some clips for a moderate amount as well 😆
@@esprit101 He probably could not because he is not the owner of the character Yuri, EA is.
For example, there is a Reddit post of Kane actor answering fans questions and explaining how is his life after CnC, and one of the questions was if he ever considered being in fans animations as Kane as a voice actor or even in short movies.
The response he gave is that he would have loved to join them, but couldn't, because his character played by him is owned by EA, and EA doesn't allow this.
Your storytelling skills and video editing abilities are undoubtedly impressive.
Hoping to see the upcoming chapter soon!
Did you know that Yuri, is (or was, idk) actually an acolyte of Kane and a very prominent member of Nod? Turns out, his mind control "tricks" were never developed by the Soviet Union, but rather the Brotherhood of Nod.
considering how kane himself was stalin's advisor during the first red alert.
My personal headcanon for Mental Omega is that the Proselyte is actually Kane.
This idea is based off of No Strings Prd's "Chronology of Red Alert" video that theorizes that the Tiberium timeline is a result of a Soviet victory in RA1. Since Yuri and Kane both knew and worked for Stalin directly, and given their similar ambitions, it's possible that Kane was forced to disband the Brotherhood of Nod following the Allied victory, and due to his ties with Yuri, would end up becoming his closet ally. Perhaps we could take it a step further. Who's to say that a good portion of the Epsilon soldiers are actually remnants of the Brotherhood?
That was part of WW's wanted to tie Red alert and Tiberium saga. As far as I know, it was abandoned and considered non Canon due to many inconsistencies
WW's plan*
@@АгентКГБ-м2я I know, but I still like the idea of it being canon in the MO timeline and as such, Kane was made the proselyte.
This is cool of you to make a lore video for Mental Omega. Looking forward to seeing your next videos on this topic.
@Psyminette If you want to do an Allied lore video for Mental Omega, I'd feel honored if you used my videos for footage.
I agree with what you said.❤
I been waiting for someone to tackle Mental Omega's narrative. Its just so great. Subscribed I look forward to this.
I've been waiting for someone to make a lore video about Mental Omega and watching this, I was not disappointed, especially with the AI voiced Yuri. I hope to see more parts of this in the future.
Well, let’s see how anime this plot really is, eh?
Thanks so much, I always wanted lore vids for MO. And this is a great format, both silly with memes, and serious, treating the story with due diligence.
One thing I can say, is that the Epsilon Army's young female psychic trump card will beat down the heck out of some Allied "Homura Akemi" Legionnaires.
This is a really well made video
now i want to go through the entire story of MO
I finished this mod's campaign twice now but I want to someone narrate it. There are times that the algorithm will give me good recommendations and I thank it for finding this video!
Oh gods, yes!!! This is quality work, subscribed and liked. Looking forward to the next part. Mental Omega, lets goooo!
POV: Your commentary is so good enough that you had to put disclaimer that isn't real life event commentary.
By the way, does that mean you gonna make Can you beat MOAPYR without losing unit video right...? *Righhhht??????!*
I don't know why this didn't get recommended to me but this is a great idea and thank you for this lmao
The other reason for the USA to build only a nuclear base is because they lack funding.
After the founding of the Latin Confederation, the US military budget has grown tight every day.
The US influence across the globe declined and was forced to invent new tech to replace the using of Nuclear weapons. (Political of the Allied greatly forbid Nukes)
US military invented many high-tech and the most prominence is the Mercury sat with is literally, the GDI Ion cannon term for destrustion power. (But it's not completed yet and never be)
Also remember that in this timeline, the Soviets invented the nuclear weapons, not the United States. These weapons where looted from the soviets and then used as a deterrent, but the idea of mutually assumed destruction is on nobody's mind in this entire setting. A single launch site makes sense when your goal is to stop soviet invasions, while meanwhile you're developing a space laser network that can do the same task and much more due to the precision. Nukes in this timeline are likely seen by the US millitary command as "crude soviet weapons."
The more truely unrealistic thing in this timeline is how the Russians gain so much progress just because they didn't have the setback of the real life world war II, but that's more a complaint of red alert 1. That and the psionics and the time travel and the Iron Curtains and all that other stuff but you know, semantics.
@@majormissile5596
The Allied focus on the power to control time and space, AKA Chronosphere.
They saw war and nuke obsolete.
Soviet tech isn't complicated. Its focus is on basic doctrine...high firepower and heavy armor.
Except for the Nuke and Tesla tech, the Soviets literally had nothing from the start and stole the Allied tech for their own good.
Please nextttttttt continued you The story about all the mental Omega and video game moves is really beautiful
the way things are in order and described is really good i need moarrr
10K already! Keep on going strong! Loving every vid!
you better make all the way to Hamartia, babel, and Remnant chapter
That's the plan!
Argh, motherkarking Hamartia!
THIS IS SO GOOOOD!! THANK FOR MAKING THIS! looking forward to part 2 for sure. i didnt realize it was just uploaded couple of weeks ago
Great video & funny editing sprinkled throughout! I still remember finishing Mental Omega earlier this year & I had to go back to the wiki each time a mission ended in how it ties up to the overall story. I even created an addon which reorders all the campaign missions chronologically so I can follow through the story XD. Great stuff! Hope you get to finish the entire campaign storyline!
In what order should they be passed, does it have any significance (selecting acts, and maybe special)?
@@Igor-ug1op It doesn't have any significance, it just makes understanding the Lore easier. For the order, you can search "Moddb Mental Omega 3.3.6 Missions in Chronological Order" in google & it should be the first one to pop up
Would be awesome to see a whole mental omega yuri pov lorethrough.
Oh yes! I welcome this. Please make more.
Damn you UA-cam, why didn’t I receive a notification about this video, thank you for at least letting me know about the video about Tempest Rising, I almost lost such a pearl, Libra sees that there aren’t enough such videos about MO
Although in truth there is not enough more video about the development of MO, I personally found only interesting echoes, such as the fact that MO and Twisted Insurection were previously planned to be united, or the fact that the developers had some kind of conflict with the chinese
Please go on.
At around 11:00 The Psi agents patched a bit of mind control tech into the communication lines, allowing the sabotage of all silos across the country, not just at that base.
I need this, I barely know about MO story.
Very cool. :D
The only minor critic I have is that the explosions of the nuke silos took a bit too long.
In his defense, it's also that in the game proper.
The speeder send us here
Much appreciation to him for this! Do stay along for the entire ride!
Finally, my request. thank you
Please continue with this series! I never was able to bring myself to play the MO campaigns because I didn't feel like reading a bunch of tiny texts on the top left of the screen while a million things are happening at the same time. Your videos would be a great way to understand what happened.
oh hell yeah. i'm HYPED for this. especially since i don't think theirs a lot of videos talking about the lore and story of mental omega even though it's probably the best of the red alert universe.
When part 2 happaning cause i love this
11:39 Of course, let's introduce chaos into a state of eternity
Hail yuri... Yuri is master
Coolest comeback!
Great work on the video, mate.
As cool as it is, I secretly hope that you might some day dig your claws into another Westwood classic, Emperor: Battle for Dune.
Another psyminbanger!
this is really well done superb video
Its a missed opportunity that Mental Omega didnt include Iraq and Libya. Imagine a Middle Eastern faction allied with the Soviets
Well, there's the Scorpion Cell, loosely based on Generals' Global Liberation Army.
You've done a great job with this so far! Excited to see more!
This mod Has an entire history of lore?!?!
11:39 Oh Baby
oooohoo amazing
Great Vid
Ooo this will be a fun bunch of videos to watch :)
I’ve only played a few levels.
you're the most creative creative creator i've seen today. you will go big! subbed
thanks for new update , being waiting for it so long
Now this is a surprise and a very welcome one.
Finally something about Mental Omega even if third act would never be released
....Þis didn't age well.
I love this video!
need paart 2
Maybe the reason for why American ICBMs were only at Vandenberg were not pride, nor overconfidence, but budget cuts. Maybe Americans thought that there was no need to invest so much money into production and upkeep of new nukes, if there was no one to challenge their nuclear monopoly.
Cool. I`d like to see more videos like that.
11:08 or maybe budget cuts. Budget cuts are the nemesis of any military effort, y'know?
117 hour of Baldurs Gate 3 showing effect
sweet
Part 2?
Epic
5:20 its cod ghost all over again
Mental Omega is ball busting hard, it's got even harder because the old control of RA 2. If the game somehow got an updated control scheme it would make the game so much more enjoyable. I finished it on hard difficulty with a good amount of try and error.
I was thinking of making a video like this a month ago lol
this video gave me nightmares, especially that alien
Planning to go by it by act for act or a couple of missions at a time?
Couple missions at a time. I'm lazy like that
"Be one with Yuri".
UOHHHH YESS
Very good video sir
A small gesture, but I really, really appreciate your content
Thank you for your kind words and support!
Wait I don't recognize a lot of these missions. Did they make an update in the last year?
Or are they co-op missions? I didn't play those
Noooo, just as I was working on a similar project...
Oh, just kidding. This is great.
I would love to see yours!
God tier memes
MO's story and your editing skills are great and engaging. Can I post this video to Bilibili with Chinese subtitles?
Sure thing, just remember to credit me in the description
@@Psyminette Sure, I'll credit your video source in the description. Thank you so much!
No problemo. lmk when it's out :p
@@Psyminette Okay :D!
Wait. How about Kane? The advisor of Stalin?
Alternate timeline, Yuri is his parallel.
Imagine if the Allies had Terror Drones and Cyborgs at the start of the Third Great War
Albert Einstein could be still alive in MO
Epsilon would have failed Peacekeeper
How do i get the game?
its a red alert 2 mod
the mod its free on the mental omega site. the game however can only be purchased on EA's store as part of an ultimate bundle
Telepathic, not kenesis. Pathic is mind and kenesis is move objects.
9:47 SUS
Perhaps I can be your assissant
11:22 By The way, Who is this Voice actor Actually ?
Ruining the magic here but it's me with a self-trained AI voice model :p
@@Psyminette oh, I though was the original actor named Udo Kier.
I wish I could get this damn mod to work but it won’t WORK 😢
The support staff in the Mental Omega discord server may be able to help you with that. Trying reaching out!
@@PsyminetteI didn’t see your comment till just now, yea I’m considering it.
I what's exo two
It's an interesting premise for a mod, but I feel like the lore just went too..."chuuni" for lack of a better term. 🤪
5:13 New powers. 🌎🌏
Also, I missed this video somehow.
I'm just glad ukraine has crimea
I really like your editing and storytelling. I'm looking forward to this series! Very much enjoyed the RA2 and CNC3 series
Thanks for telling the story of Mental Omega. Never actually managed to complete the full campaign, though. Nevertheless, great vid! ❤
Thank you for the support!
I'm so glad someone's finally covering the lore of Mental Omega, I'm hooked up for the ride :D
10:56 Whether it's true that ICBMs in Vandenberg AFB are all US had or they have more in other bases, PsiCorps agents disabled all ICBMs, opening the way for the Russia/USSR. So the third great war began...
Warfare both in the front line and the shadow is interesting! Political struggle in Kremlin, loose cooperation of the allied, and all the adversity PsiCorps had, during a total war. Act 1 is absolutely awesome.
also yuri can just phone them and disable a base in 10 seconds so that probably helped seal any leaks
Congrats on getting a shout out from the official MO UA-cam channel!
If someone could make cutscenes on mo campaign it would be sick ! And glad yuri is not an amateur that mind controls on a telephone
This game needs more attention, its too good. I am confused when playing the campaign. Your video tells the story real great, good job on summarizing it. Keep doing this, please. Without your video, I can't understand this excellent game.
Godddaaaam. Mate this is awesome. I never played mental omega or even the first CnC games (too stupid to download them, i still dont know how), so this for me is the closest thing ill get to playing.
What a great video mate! Love Lore videos and that with your style. Art!
I really hope that this will be a long series, mental omega is a very chonky mod
I APPROVE!
FUN FACT: ww2 still existed even if hitler is removed from history
Nice
you deserved more support rather than simply clickin' subscribe button& activatin' the notification bell. Hope to supp more. But, anyways.. wish ya gl for your yt career &/ successfull in ur life! Tyvm for the story you want to tell about. Much appreciated ♡
