Valor Mortis Part 3 — Full Transcript & Summary

[00:05] you. Welcome back to another day. We are back with more Valor Mortise today. game. Had a great time with this up until we embargoed recently. So, we're

[00:17] noticed that it says Enshrouded soon in the title. >> You know what I realized and and kind of I I was funny enough talking to some folks last night about it. And here's here's here's what I'm thinking here.

[00:30] Here's what I'm thinking. We have no reason to rush Enshrouded. There is nothing new in Enshrouded. Like, knows it's there. Um, I mean, hell, apparently you've been able to kill the

[00:43] end boss for a while now. So, like, there's not really a lot of spoilers. That being said, tomorrow we're playing, we can't play until 11:00. I actually checked with them. They said we can't get it earlier

[00:57] and we've got Castlevania at 12:00. So, I'd only be able to play an hour tomorrow and I and to put it bluntly, I don't want to do that. Um I don't want to just jam an hour in there. So, what I

[01:13] think we're going to do is I'm really liking this game. I want to see how I like Castlevania. I think we're going to finish one of those before we do Enshrouded. I want to give Enshrouded like a nice

[01:26] big cogent block. Basically what I don't want to Valheim it. I don't want to like try to jam Enshrouded in weird places and then feel like I'm kind of like finish this game. Maybe even finish Castlevania

[01:40] Castlevania and just do our full playthrough then. I don't think there's going to be anything that we want to do as a main game after this and Castlevania. Nothing is coming out next week. I'm not planning on

[01:52] starting Anamouch or anything before Enshrouded. So, I think it's just this sponsored streams of it and we'll see if we want to finish it. I don't even know the Dead Cells, guys, but I'm not entirely sure. So, we'll have to see.

[02:06] going to do. I think that's what we're going to do and and go from there. So, guys know instead of trying to juggle three playthroughs, let's just kind of slow it down and do them in a row. Yeah. Also, uh, shout out to the community

[02:22] member Dirty Donut, who also had the really good point last night. As Razer just made in chat, if I wait a little bit after my Unshrouded playthrough, then there won't be any spoilers when I start mine

[02:36] me and we're waiting for 1.0. So, even though there's no like major spoilers, I haven't seen that you'd love to experience the first time. So, now you can do that. I'll pop in a few days later and we'll start there. So yeah, I

[02:49] do. Plans may change, but I think that's where we are right now. Yep. So, just Enshrouded is definitely happening. It's just soon instead of jamming it in tomorrow at weird times over the weekend.

[03:15] Wait, what did we do at the end of the stream yesterday? [laughter] stream yesterday? [laughter] Um,

[03:31] why are we in here? We just beat the big guy, I thought. Right. Uh, there was an intestine on the ground. There was. Yes. Oh god, it's ground. There was. Yes. Oh god, it's these things.

[03:52] with a bang. That's what we're doing today. Starting with

[04:29] Woo. Jeez. won't it? Okay. [laughter] Jeez. My lord. All right.

[04:46] bad. Okay, so that explains why we're here. his stamina bar would refresh really slow and he'd have to restart his game.

[05:04] keep an eye on that. Thank you. There was already a train this morning. Jeez, was already a train this morning. Jeez, guys. Appreciate it, dudes. guys. Appreciate it, dudes. Oh, hi cat.

[05:20] Little bit little bit of side stuff, man. First of all, well, we're going to Memories this afternoon, so we'll talk then. There was a massive patch in Eminem that changed amazing things. And also, I think I'm changing my main

[05:33] again, but we're going to talk about that later. [laughter] Okay, I only need a little bit more. I think I'm going to go to I Dude. Oh, now. So, last night I was having a great time on my Rogue. I was loving it. I was

[05:49] playing with Dub Live and Selt and like a lot of members from the guild. I was in this place called Fallen Pass. I was having a great time. But the thing, man, that was bugging me is I wanted to do more

[06:01] for like one of the first times in a game like EverQuest, which is Monsters Memories now. I wanted to do more than my class was able. So like I wanted to help me. I wanted to help slow. I wanted to do pulling. I wanted to like I wanted

[06:15] to do more. And unfortunately, I picked the absolute worst class for more. The only thing my class does is stab. And granted, stabbing is very good, and it granted, stabbing is very good, and it does stabith fourth width very well, but

[06:30] I think I'm going to go back to my bard. I think I'm going to go back to my bard. class where when I'm in a group, I feel like I have lots of options. And I think that I think that I'm going to try bard. I dude, the first time I

[06:43] ever tried bard in any serious capacity was in Balders's Gate 3, and it ended up So, I'm going to bite the bullet and I think I'm going to level my bard and see rogue. I love the rogue. It's fun, especially in a group.

[06:56] especially in a group. >> I kind of want more of a hooray. Um, but I kind of want more of a uh I want more tools when I'm in a group. I want more tools. Yeah. So, I'm going to do that.

[07:11] I think Mr. Shoka, they've completely changed how bards work in Eminem. So you basically have three songs that are just on all the time and then if you try to do special songs, it stops playing the

[07:24] >> it's very different. >> Perhaps I can turn this pile of rubble >> We'll talk about that more tonight or more this afternoon. I think I'm going to play my bard this afternoon. So we we'll talk more then. He's only level

[07:37] seven. So hopefully we'll be able to get a group and stuff. But yeah, um can't do anything with that yet. Anyway, that's enough talk about the game for a while, but I'm Oh, also, last thing I'll say,

[07:51] last thing I'll say, there was a giant patch and they made so many amazing changes and it's it's ridiculous. Like, oh, we'll go over the You know what? We'll go over the patch first tonight. Let's do that. Or this afternoon. We'll

[08:03] kind of go over the patch line by line. Maybe make a highlight. Maybe make a highlight. That'll be cool. Ow. That'll be cool. Ow. No. No. Hold on.

[08:26] Can I shoot your shield arm off? Uh, [screaming] [groaning]

[08:58] They also have like zero warm-up on their attack. My lord, those things are their attack. My lord, those things are brutal.

[09:17] really fun. It has been very fun. Oh lord. Um, let's see if we can lure this guy with his this barrel. this barrel. [groaning]

[09:53] freaking barrels. Okay, well that was mega unfortunate.

[10:24] enough to level now. So, we're going to want to keep that in mind, too. Oh, here we go. My dearest Angus, I pray this letter finds you with dry boots and a full belly. For no, okay, for I have neither

[10:40] less glorious than I expected. Don't get me wrong, Angus. General Loair is a fine campaign, and his devotion to the emperor has become something closer to our company muttered that Napoleon had led us into misery. Loier said uh heard

[10:54] across the leg with a shaft of the golden eagle banner. Broke the bone clean. Then he ordered the man carried to the surgeon as calm as if he'd merely comrade says the general is a mine about to explode. I pray to God he never

[11:06] bursts with us standing too near. Your faithful friend James.

[11:23] attacks. Increase melee damage dealt when your health is full. Perfectionism. I'm never going to use that one.

[11:35] different directions we can go. Let's go this way first.

[11:54] >> You know him well, the commander. Aren't we all? Yet no, Pero has um He's a man of honor. Aren't we all to shame?

[12:06] He believes in honor that can sometime leads to trouble. I heard that once he apologized to the party corporal for two hours straight. >> Uh Lassax says, "How do you keep up with all the new new games coming out

[12:19] recently?" Oh, it's a secret. I don't. Yeah. The short of it is is keeping up impossible. even for somebody that plays games for a living. So, what I have to do is pick and choose what I do. Um, I've already not been able to play some

[12:31] games that I've really wanted to, like Onam Musha and and games like that. Um, I haven't been able to, like Zecon. But the short of it is is this release

[12:43] see more and more of as the years go by, has been a big kind of learning experience for me as a streamer. Um, I tried a lot of things over the last of them didn't, and some things I'm going to do very differently. One of the

[12:55] not trying to start in Shrouded tomorrow. That's coming from what I've [laughter] So, um, it's that kind of thing. You just kind of you just kind of learn you learn

[13:10] of games like this being released differently. Everyone reacts differently to having their hobby be flooded with options and fun things to do from it. Be whatever your hobby is. Um, you know, sometimes if you love books, a whole

[13:24] to read that you can't do it. Sometimes a bunch of shows come out, you can only dealing with. So, as a streamer, I'm just trying to do I'm in the interesting position, though, where I not only have to pick what I think you want to watch,

[13:40] but I also have to make sure I'm having fun with whatever I pick. Because if I'm not having fun, the show's going to suck. Let's be real. Um, that's just how streamers do a >> whole new possibility.

[13:53] >> Do that. I can't. So yeah, just doing the best we can. The short of it. What is this area? Look at this thing. This looks amazing. Got some kind of poisony deal down here.

[14:07] Oh, that's for if we fall in. Wait, why would we fall in? Wrong car. There's would we fall in? Wrong car. There's like a part up there to jump up to.

[14:21] Um, I feel like there's a jump here. Oh, we got to clear this. Is it those boxes? I think it's those boxes. Wait, here we go. Ready? Okay. Here. Here's here we go. So, if you look behind that,

[14:36] there's a thing to shoot. But we have to clear that. So, to clear that, we're clear that. So, to clear that, we're going to do this. We're going to do this. Yeah. And that is how you do it. Lovely.

[14:56] Okay, that's a Oh god, that was a cool little area. Let's get one of these out of the equation.

[15:23] that's okay. Uh, let's go poke around down here a little bit before we go up. Yo, what is this? Secrets. All right. Where does this go?

[15:44] Are you alive? You're alive, you bastard. day, chat. I think that man's might have wanted to kill me.

[16:01] wanted to kill me. That's a little odd.

[16:13] superior firearm part. Well, that sounds hot. hot. This is secret.

[16:25] H interesting. Okay, that's a kind of that anywhere? Okay.

[16:38] minor torch. Uh, that's a dead end. game. We're working on this one now. Valor Mortise. This has been definitely

[16:50] fun enough for me to want to finish. Uh, we're going to be trying out a game. a game called Castlevania, which is not only an IP I love, but it's by some developers that I really like. Uh, it's by the developers that made Dead Cells,

[17:03] if you're familiar with that game. Um, and it is looking pretty slick. So, tomorrow. And I depending on how much I like that, we may we may do that one as after that, I'm just going to say Enshrouded is after that. I don't I

[17:18] want to start more than Enshrouded right now. So, we'll probably do do Enshrouded now. So, we'll probably do do Enshrouded after one of those wraps up. Be it Valor Mortise or uh Castlevania. Can I do this? Oh my god.

[17:34] this? Oh my god. Oh my god. That happened. Okay, so we can do that. [laughter] Cool.

[17:47] Silver Pines. Overall, I super super enjoyed it do wish there was a little bit more concretness at the end. Um, but it's

[18:02] and honestly once we kind of saw everything at the end, I I was kind of on board with everything. But it's it's a it was a really really fun like one of the better journeys I've taken in a game in a while. Like it was dude, look at

[18:16] this guy. It was really good. Mhm. Game Mr. Choka says the ending was e Yeah. I mean, it was it was uh yeah, it's interesting because looking back, I

[18:31] spoil the ending, so I'm going to stop talking about it. And there are multiple endings to be clear, but I think the thing that I realized is my biggest issue with the ending was because I'd seen that ending

[18:45] type so many times and I feel like looking back that Silver Pines is meant those games before. And I think if I'd never played those games before, I would have felt a lot different about the ending, to be honest. I think that's

[19:00] ending, to be honest. I think that's what it is. Yeah. So, it I mean, it's I think it was just a lot what a lot of us were kind of hoping it wouldn't be cuz we're, you know, so [laughter] it was still good. It was still fine.

[19:13] And thankfully the voice acting and uh the kind of the presentation and delivery in that game is so top-notch that it even takes uh what it had what was beautiful to see and everything and listen to. So yeah, man. Silver Pines

[19:30] very good. Strong recommend. And that's all I'm going to talk about. I have a thoughts video up actually yet. Go watch that. [laughter] door we blew up, right? Oh lord. Dude, these guys are a thing. I'm going to do

[19:45] these guys are a thing. I'm going to do this. Oh, okay.

[20:08] this is Is this the cannon door we opened? I think it is, right? No, it's not. Okay, cool. So, the cannon door we open is probably back up there. So, left? We don't have a heal left. But what's over here? Is this where we came

[20:23] what's over here? Is this where we came in?

[20:43] Okay. Oh, it is where we came in. Yeah. Yeah, we jumped right in there. All Yeah, we jumped right in there. All right, cool. Did we come from this way right, cool. Did we come from this way when we came in?

[20:59] at a place that I wasn't I didn't think we ended at Oh, here it was. Yes. Yes. shortcoming we unlocked. Then we can Yeah, perfect. We're good. We're good. Okay, we're great. We good.

[22:11] let's do more endurance. [music] Yeah, let's do more endurance. Unlocks the ability to slow time when aiming with firearms in the air. Oh, and melee weapons do more damage. Hell yeah. Okay,

[22:24] weapons do more damage. Hell yeah. Okay, there we go. wait until you're done? No, we we're going to do everything in Shrouded when even we're not even going to I'm not even going to play into the hype until

[22:39] we're there. Yep. [clears throat] Going to focus on other stuff. Mhm. Uh-oh.

[22:57] So, it looks like Yeah, we could we No. Oh god, this hurts. >> I swear to God, life is so funny sometimes, right? Because I'm literally I'm literally going, I don't want to start tomorrow. I only have an hour. I

[23:13] be fine, but I only have an hour. And then I just find out now, like I just glance up and the universe is like, oh, by the way, you could actually start an extra hour earlier. It's like, "No, God, I just made the dec.

[23:32] No, no, no. You could. They're They're tempting me. It's forbidden fruit." No, no, no. I'm going to finish. At least I'm going to finish Valor Mortise. Okay, foot down. Putting my foot down. [laughter]

[23:46] the crowd, I'm just going to disappear into that game. So, I know what happened with Valheim for the first like four days. I just got lost. lost in it. And I know that's going to happen. So, oh god.

[24:00] happen. So, oh god. Jeez, man. Oh, we can shoot his grenades, bro. That is awesome.

[24:15] [groaning] Damn, look at that. Okay, that was awesome.

[25:32] delayed. Like he holds his sword back to swing and then takes the swing kind of swing and then takes the swing kind of thing.

[26:02] grenades. I'm going to start using these a lot more. a game for you to play. Is it Dress Maker? I bet it's Dress Maker.

[26:15] Maker? I bet it's Dress Maker. Ariel really wants me to play dress me. Trust me. My stylist [snorts] who haven't guard My stylist [snorts] who haven't guard for your plebeian eyes.

[26:33] Oh, I'm going to shoot that thing. Nope. No, I'm not apparently. Okay.

[26:45] are you going to follow my head? No. What are you? Is that a person? Is that a thing? I don't think it is. Let's use this first.

[27:13] the top of this area. Let's look around first and loot everything we can before we go up. Oh, we should go through our uh clots and see how much of this stuff we actually have. Maybe we can get another level.

[27:34] All right, let's take a look here. Um, probably not. Our number grows yellow if we can. Yeah, we can't yet. That's fine.

[27:53] Want to go start this game? We played it for a little bit yesterday. Nice try. [laughter] That guy was definitely going to do that

[28:05] exact thing to me. And this guy's going to jump me later. I see you. I see you hide. I see you hiding there. Look at you dicks. Oh my god. This is the these devs, dude. Look at these guys. Just hiding all

[28:20] these mobs like it's an okay thing to do. Jeez. do. Jeez. Oh my Jesus. Oh my Jesus. [groaning]

[28:39] Nope. No sir. Okay. were out of bullets. Oh Jesus.

[29:37] Oh, hell yeah. Okay. Got to use that more, man.

[30:05] Oh, what you going to do? You just got to stand up there and look look sexy. Okay, that's where he's going to get shot. Going to stand up there and look good. Oh, look at all these guys

[30:19] look good. Oh, look at all these guys already dead. Oh yes. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Who's shooting at me? You.

[30:34] There's probably another one. Is there another one? We now know that these devs these devs are total jerks. So, we have to expect total jerkitude at every turn. As long as we understand that, just like the Bloodborne devs for the record,

[30:49] just just like the Bloodborne devs, we just have to keep that in mind. These just have to keep that in mind. These devs are jerks that want us dead.

[31:12] that's unblockable. Whoops. >> [groaning] >> Man, our sword does like nothing against these guys.

[31:28] Bam. All right,

[31:40] we've cleared a lot of these enemies and I don't want to deal with them shooting I don't want to deal with them shooting at us while we're up here getting

[31:54] we're going. Not waiting. Just going to play that might change, but no plans right now. Yeah, too many too many other games. Whoa, this looks interesting. Can we

[32:08] Whoa, this looks interesting. Can we maybe turn this? Um,

[32:20] arc light. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, not at all. think they got a whole thing going on. So, I you know, I don't I don't I'm not worried about them getting eyes on on Enshrouded. It's one of the reasons I'm

[32:33] be great, dude. That game is fantastic. They got a lot of people lined up. It's going to be real good.

[32:45] later, I'm guessing. Depends on on how long we play in this game. long we play in this game. Guys, this game's been awesome.

[33:01] Oh, it didn't kill him with the second shot. Only it does. Whoa.

[33:27] Next time, chat. Next time. I'm going down. no. I'm not I am not going down apparently. Okay,

[33:41] apparently. Okay, that that works too.

[34:13] Interesting. Okay. Even when that silk is soaked in the crimson of the fallen, you shall never lose faith in the true colors beneath the stain.

[34:28] the stain. You always follow the fly.

[34:57] Co is not going to continue this game. I am sure the game feels empty. you guys what I'm thinking sometimes. Y'all know me so well. Yeah, you you Y'all know me so well. Yeah, you you just you just know me so well.

[35:25] today and I just pledged that I'm going to finish it before I start one of the biggest games I'm anticipating this year. So, you can you can sus out from that. I'm I'm having an okay time. Yep.

[35:40] I'm having an okay time. Yep. I'm having an okay time.

[35:55] Screw you in particular. I'm not even going that way. Whoa. Oh, fast travel. Cool. We're going to a whole new area. Nice.

[36:14] later on in the game, says Razer. No, I mean that the reason I'll stop a game is if I'm not having fun. If for some reason I become disattached and I realize that I'm not enjoying the time in [music] the game, which happens and

[36:29] sometimes I just have to tell myself like I got to move on. Yep. Got to move like I got to move on. Yep. Got to move on. Is this a boss?

[37:30] Can I do like a fatality on him or something? Oh, here. Yeah.

[37:46] Can't touch this, bro. What are you doing?

[38:36] We're supposed to do that. Hey, weren't supposed to do that.

[38:54] >> Dude, I love the multi-stage boss fight, though. doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? Oh, was I I was supposed to jump that, wasn't I?

[39:06] wasn't I? [groaning] Oh my god, I'm getting shredded. That was the combat. [groaning and screaming]

[39:45] God damn, those fights feel good. They feel good. Awesome. Awesome. They just feel awesome.

[40:00] >> I wouldn't have taken command from you. >> Everything feels like slow and chunky, but it all feels like it connects perfectly. It has that feeling of like a puzzle where all the pieces just perfectly fit together.

[40:14] >> All the hit boxes seem very generous. >> The dodging seems pretty generous. So, to be like, I want to do this and then you just do it. I want to There's like no there's there's no disconnect, you know? It's nice. Feels good.

[40:32] >> the darkest night >> months pass too fast with 107 months of support. Thank you, bud. Thank you. game good morning. >> Just as the tightest spawns can indeed be sundered.

[40:46] >> It feels kind of like a super melee oriented Bioshock. an hour and multiple deaths. Well, I mean,

[40:59] mean, yeah. Okay. I I Oh, you? >> One sec. We'll talk about that in a >> I thought we'd lost you for good out there. Look at you, man. A bit rough

[41:15] around the edges, but still standing. Thank goodness you're standing. We all feared the worst after that last skirmish. skirmish. Let's just say morale dropped severely.

[41:31] pains in trying to make the characters look real. looks a little animated, but I like the way that they're moving is super way that they're moving is super organic, which is really cool.

[41:52] >> Oh, this is our upgrade guy. >> All right, miracle it is. >> Be honest. Ah, I'm glad to see your friendly face, but I'm afraid I don't friendly face, but I'm afraid I don't quite remember things clearly. My head,

[42:07] it's not right. >> Also, I don't know who voices William, dude's voice. This guy should do audiobooks if he's not already. >> Who are you? >> Don't remember. William, it's me, James.

[42:23] great. Stewart, we've been through mud and blood together since, well, for a long time. That blast must have rattled your skull worse than we thought. But no matter, you're here now. That's what counts. We can fill in the blanks later.

[42:37] Though I must admit, your timing is well, you're needed, William. Sorely needed. Things have been tense, especially now with Louie. >> Louie? >> You know, Louie, our medic and well, our

[42:49] scholar of sorts. Always poking his nose where it doesn't belong, if you ask me. went off to check something in a nearby village a couple of days ago. >> I'm sure he's fine. >> Sometimes I think anything could qualify

[43:02] as part of his research. He hasn't come back. I think he's stuck somewhere on the way. I'm worried, William. Properly worried. That village, it's not a good place. Locals whisper all sorts of nonsense

[43:16] superstitions, it's treacherous. And with those things roaming things, >> right, you are. By now, we could have figured out a better name. Deadeyed. At least the disease has a good name. The crimson plague. That's a

[43:32] nice ring to it, if you ask me. Still, we don't know what they are. But they're not human. Not anymore. [music] The camp we're supposed to reinforce. Overrun. That's why we're hidden in this damp hole. Look, William, you always had a

[43:48] knack for getting into and out of tight spots. And Louie, for all his scholarly ability, can be a bit naive. Someone needs to go out there, find him, or at least find out what happened. With your return, maybe you could. You're the best

[44:04] we've got, especially now. >> This place? How did you end up here? >> As for this place, it's not much. We've got a small stash of provisions here, a

[44:16] makeshift infirmary over there if you ever need patching up. Louie usually handles that. And this central area is where we plan, rest, and try to forget the hell outside. For now, though, the priority is Louis.

[44:28] >> All right, James. I'll go find him. Tell me what you know about this village. count on you. The village isn't too far from here,
