About topoda. most of his normal attacks can be easily parried. do NOT, however, do NOT riposte. he punishes riposte VERY harshly

I don’t see the plot holes or mischaracterization you complain about in the video I feel like you’re trying to seek out a happy ending where there is none and everything you criticize is just the reality of the situation when it comes to pollution and climate change since they have some intersection in the theming of the story. You critique Kril’s characterization when it’s spelled out right in the beginning There are predators, scavengers and those who just want to be left alone. People like Krill exist. Even knowing the gravity of the situation, it doesn’t take priority over their comfortability or desire to “keep things the same” Firth’s plan with the shell makes sense because it amplifies his motivation which is still greed. It just takes it to its forgone conclusion that his fiscal ambition combined with that level of power would spell disaster in the name of profit basically evolving his greed from entrepreneur to that of like a CEO the ending is frustrating because it’s the same as real life. Even with all of the knowledge of our harm to the environment. Most of us will just carry on as normal because there’s only so much that we can do as individuals. Most people are not the heroes nor the villains of their stories. They’re just the protagonist of their own individual tales TL:DR Kril just wants to grill Capitalism bad We’re all fucked unless we can start to see further than our own eyes Realistic ending feels bad in crab souls game

We see Chitan in the game's ending cutscenes. I believe Kril did go back to help get them healed back up and they help fight polluted crabs with him in the sands between. I feel like that should at least lighten things up a little bit even after all the other wasted opportunities. In this I see more a message about sometimes we just have to roll with what life throws at us and what consequences we have to learn from after we make mistakes.

Carcino comes from the greek world karkinos that means both crab and cancer, because in the old days people tought that cancer was caused by crab-like parasites

consider this, him trying to finally stop it all leads to disaster that destroys everything. Think how you need to do it before you do, or you break everything and won't have tools to rebuild it.

Hey Dan maybe you should try 100% Celeste I think you’d REALLY like the game plus I would love to see you 100% Celeste

Cause this game doesn't have a proper coherent story at all it's oh my home was taken when you literally see things that can be a home it makes no sense

Did anyone kill Pagurus after going into Flotsam Vale?

I know I'm late to comment this And someone else probably already told you But the ''humour'' of the second game is that It's horrible that they exploit them like that (Because capitalism = funny because yes)

I finished hollow knight but couldnt even beat the first boss here, then i got a gun and destroyed everyone

Give a spoiler warning 🚫 Immediately present spoiler✅

44:46 he low-key sounds like gumball

Wow lol😂

Farloom Azula

This is this, and that is that.

my name is roland😢

Yea, apparently a lot of people really wanted Anorlando so the devs added it in

was that the altos odyssey music in the BG of this vid??

I honestly like the ending we got, and I think it makes the commentary on pollution more effective. There is no perfect solution to save the world, fixing oceanic pollution would require a collective effort from everyone. It also points out how righteous anger can blind people, and how selfish individuals manage to make the world worse. I think the current ending works thematically, and it not being a happy one feels almost like a call to action to me.

Im so glad i wasnt the only one who got stuck in that little lower area for a bit

roland? you mean John Allusions 🧤

Hate to be that guy but it’s a satirical game

I hope we get a sequel about how Krill's actions impacted the world, like it's a post apocalypse where almost everyone in the city has lost their sense of being and became mindless monsters.

Heeeeeeeeello Dan:)

Most of us can't even do anything against corruption since it's corruption it's higher Powers abusing their power you can't stop someone from abusing their power unless everyone stops them

I feel like firth's monologue at the end is a satire of what current real world governments are doing with setting climate change goals, like "by 2028 we'll cut emissions by 40%" or china's goal of "peak emissions by 2030 and reduce emissions after"

*FARTS HARD*

Got here cuz Crab game, stayed here cuz Chilean Flag

His plane supposed to not make any sense.

I'm.sorry but I've never heard someone say anorlondo so messed up you mess up Slough and orienstien to😅

I think it cause he mostly greedy and just thinks the harm of it isn’t that bad and it Michael Reeves, he probably doesn’t care and just an omega taser to tase the ocean

He. Is. Conflicted. A. 2nt. Game?

It took me too long to realize inkerton was a Pinkerton pun.

I'm not the writers at Aggro Crab but I'm pretty sure that hypocrisy is the point. Just like the snail that attacks you at the start of the game. Firth is discontent with the system and sees no way to change it beyond fueling it even more, while Krill and us with the outsiders view think the system should be abolished entirely. At least that's how I viewed it.

I mean. Dude. Do you get that this is a massive critique of the current economic system and its extremely flawed approach to dealing with environmental issues? The dominant view that the best thing we can do to fix the environment is to continue ramping up the economic systems which will give us the wealth to fix the environment. This is massively misguided, it’s dreamed up by people obsessed with our economic systems and little understanding of the environment, they don’t realize the destruction of the environment is not something that can be fixed by throwing money at it after the fact. This is why Firth is not a mustache twirling villain. He is a pretty perfect vehicle through the whole game as a stand in for this kind of viewpoint where it’s believed “business as usual” is the best outcome for the world, when those who study the environment label the worst scenario as “business as usual”. Lowkey dude, it seems like the themes of the game massively flew over your head.

I am pretty sure Carcinia is a play on the root of the same name that means crab, for example in Carcinisation which refers to the convergent evolution of crabs.

Fair - Um

Whats the game?

eh close enough. Welcome back cursed greatwood 😂

Heello Dan!:)

Oh my god lichenthrope is so good

The geek inside me is going insane after you called Praya dubia a jellyfish

31:42 "but not that kind of gun-" "holy f-"

i think you kind of get it with how you think behind the character writing with him not really caring i always interpreted as there is nothing that can be done about it no matter how much someone fights and even if they think they have won that fight new corruption and pollution will always follow and you need to do your best just to make even one life better because the bigger issues no matter how much you ever fight can never be fixed and people only ever look out for themselves in the end

for those who want to know the game's name, its another crab's treasure

Pretty sure the lazer shooting crabs in the abyss are a reference to the silence brand meme

what game?

12:12 The moment I heard that I literally said “welp guess I gotta buy this game now”

25:12 that “oh” of realizations is funny

I fr thought your pfp was that one image where the black cat has his face covered in milk besides that great video subscribed
