Oh man, this is gonna be great.
Thanks for another extremely entertaining series! I've been watching the whole time and every new update was a treat. I still remember how hard I laughed at seeing the Coleman brand camping gear at the beginning, so it's satisfying to see the gag come full-circle with you guys. Also, as always, Kuvo's dedication to the show is out of this world. I just hope that if you decide to do another LP it will be with a game you might actually enjoy!

So when the Shenmue 2 LP was going on a couple years ago, I thought that someone said that the T40s footage was lost. Then I got up off my rear end (well, shifted my eyes to the right on youtube, lets not be too hasty) and saw that the channel was still up and that the first shenmue and other stuff was up. So RIP me I guess as I correct this mistake.

Yeah, they've got to commit to one or the other. Either Final Fantasy is somehow less equipped to deal with injuries than Resident Evil and gouging someone's eyes out is a real big deal or that's just an issue till they can get them to a doctor but in the meantime soak a cloth with some Elixir so he stops thrashing around.

Injuries that don't matter anyway since we cared nothing about the characters

I seriously don't remember collecting any of the weapons besides the first one, and the one where Noctis was sad and Gladiolus was angry about it

Who the gently caress OKed an FF story where both the leads are dead at the end. Like you can't even say the story is about growing up and accepting responsibilities because it skips over adulthood and goes right to death. If anything it's implicitly saying that accepting responsibility will literally kill you so it's better to just avoid it and gently caress around with your bros forever.

What a god-drat stupid game.

Thanks much for showing it off. Had lots of laughs.

Imagine if instead of all the time wasted on poo poo they would make a full experience. Instead of a timeskip slowly have Nocht grow more ragged and aged looking. Also actual personality in the characters beyond face value.

I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?
This LP doesn't feel over to me, because I'm left with no sense of closure.

Thank you for your services to the noble task of playing stupid video games. I eagerly anticipate your future work.

Marks your pre-final boss save as cleared,unlocking a few sidequests. The canon of dog taking you back in time is strange. Your party members don't react to it even though they retain outfits and skills gained in the second half of the game. So you'd think its meant to just be taken as a game mechanic, but with Talcott's cactuar figurines there's one you can get for him in not-be nice and the only way you can get it back to him is with timedog. His reaction to turning it in is "how did you get this when you haven't gone on the boat yet!?"

It was Luna, King Regis, Emperor Ledolas, and Nyx Ulric (the main character of Kingsglaive).

Yes, I had to look it up. They didn't exactly get a good look at them, and there's no way I'd remember Ledolas or Nyx's names.

No, you murdered Legolas back in chapter 13. Ardyn lynched a mock-up of Legolas because he felt it really tied the room together.

There's just so much stuff here that's clearly meant to be all deep and symbolic, but the game never bothers to justify why any of this poo poo should matter to the player. Maybe it would have worked better if most of the plot wasn't in the supplementary material.

The game might as well have all particle effects and explosion be crossshaped like NGE, like the game sveral episodes ago start using the term king of kings to refer to Notc.

Why yes, a manchild that takes off the tomato and lettuce off burgers because he doesn't like vegetables is a king of kings.

This would have been way better if it was just X-2 but with a boy band and a car in not-Arizona. Thats it. It really is that simple. That's all they needed to do.

Everyone keeps making Christian allusions and I keep wondering what specific relevance a particular Persian title has for Noctis. The hazards of studying ancient history.

Aside from being used in Christian tradition, they very well couldn't call Noctis the King of the Jews.

Notc would only eat try fish in the form of fish sticks.

Also he's never used a microwave so good luck trying to cook those at a campfire.

fake edit: I dunno given his manchildness I kinda doubt he would know how to prep fish he catches, but maybe he does? Like the only time he's shown enthusiasm is for fishing and AssCreed. gently caress I he probably doesn't know how to boil water for cupnoodleTM

TBH I was mainly "watching" the LP in the background listening to the funny commentary while playing mobile games and freecell. Most of the game is just painful to watch because of gently caress-all nothing happening.

Thanks for watching, love yall. Can't believe this took almost a year and a half.

There will be a few more eps at least. As promised we are going to play through the currently available DLC. Once we finish that we're probably done, I can't see myself coming back to this turd every time a DLC releases.

Anyway, we'll try to get another recording session in soonish.

so something i've been wondering. when they start talking about how nights are lasting longer and has been for some time, is that in anyway reflected by the actual day/night cycle? cause it would be kind of neat if they had slowly had the length of the night cycle increase as you hit story checkpoints before the reveal of what was going on
