Can You Beat DEAD SPACE 2023 With Only a Flamethrower?

[@PressContinue]

A flamethrower is essentially a firebomb that you squeeze the contents out of

[@StrangerForever85]

Considering that the contact beam looks like a plasma thrower, I think we can technically calm it a flamethrower since plasma is a superheated gas that has the appearance of burning. It’s a futuristic flamethrower.

[@ericb3157]

reminds me of a fan-story where someone from a different continuity wound up in Dead Space... she used the "pulse cannon" exclusively (i think that's what it's called) while Isaac used the Beam Cutter exclusively.

If you're after more challenge run ideas, here's one I'd love to see: can you beat Dark Souls 2 left handed? Rules: you can only use weapons designed to be used in the left hand, including parrying daggers, the special sword with the improved left hand moveset, the torch, and shields. You can only use weapons in the left hand, with the exception of shields, which must be used in the right hand. Aside from that, the usual rules of "no exploits or cheats," "beat all bosses possible," etc.

[@caiosantoscavalcante6928]

that's the best idea I've ever heard

[@enot2140]

If I am not mistaken it's almost the same as "Can you beat Dark Souls 2 with a slight dmg nerf?" Correct me if I am wrong, but this doesn't make for a run challenging or unique enough imo.

[@no1normal750]

but that's just playing the game, but you press a different button to attack.

[@serPomiz]

can I suggest a DS shield-only run?

[@carllomas4899]

​@@enot2140It has to be weapons with unique attacks in the left hand, such as the Artorias greatsword (I forgot the name).

[@ironwolf5802]

The one enemy didn't crash the game, he just wanted to praise the flamethrower forever. He loved it so much needed to stand in the fire like a hug.

[@citavsoa]

So fun fact, that first infector room gets easier if you stomp on that body pile you made, both in the remake and original. They can only transform full corpses, and its funny when it whips a u-turn and walks right back in the room when the AI realizes it cant do its job.

[@jacthing1]

Isn't it only if they have a head? I think if they're headless then an infector can't change them

[@citavsoa]

@@jacthing1 So interesting news. I had a friend test for me. For the remake, and at least for the morgue attack, the infector won't change any corpses that have ANY missing limbs. Arms, legs, head, apparently if any part is missing it'll ignore it.

[@duplicarus]

That’s an old tactic I completely forgot about. I used to stomp every single body I came across just in case lol

[@skintt1627]

Is it just that first room? I have been stomping every innocent body I've seen😅😅

[@ThePixelPear]

Dang it sucks you have to blur out large portions of the amazing work they did in the gore in this game.

[@KainYusanagi]

Doesn't have to; chose to do so. Still sucks either way.

[@goreobsessed2308]

He does if he wants to make money

[@darrengaroutte7744]

For the first regenerator, CarcinogenSDA did a run of this and just ran in a circle around the room not bothering to waste ammo. Apparently, the whole thing is time-based.

[@DavidKent94]

Which is good because my first playthrough, he immediately despawned when he broke out of the glass. I wasn't facing him when he broke out and honestly thought it was the developers mixing things up. Nope, it was just an odd bug lol

[@caphryne]

technically, this run can have the Flamethrower accessed from the very first Store if you play on New Game+, and if you can make it to the beginning of NG+ without upgrading to a new suit or using any power nodes, you could actually have a significantly harder version of this Challenge thanks to the Phantom Necromorphs!

[@KainYusanagi]

Also the special edition came with a bunch of weapons that act as NG+ accessibility to the other weapon types, effectively.

[@AnimeUmbreon]

The one two punch at 8:55 of 'Lights? Life Support? You know, this should be an easy choice." to 'I should've chosen Life Support!" just hit in a way I didn't expect.

[@ABadassDragon]

So far, my favourite flamethrower was in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, mainly because scoring sneak criticals with a flamethrower and oneshoting a deathclaw like that is very funny

[@Zeion97]

I don't comment much but I want to say, I absolutely LOVE your content, not only because of the skill and time you put into the challenges but also your humor. You make not only myself laugh but my kids as well. Keep up the amazing work!

[@uncle_zambie295]

[@Sbart117]

The contact beam looks like it's just a flamethrower if the flamethrower was a hose and you just put your thumb over the nozzle. I'd say you're in the clear

[@kuboskube]

I love your presentation in all of your videos. Hilarious dialog with expert timing and phenomenal editing. Keep being awesome.

[@Green_Axolotl]

Thanks so much for your videos! Your content is amazing, and no matter what anyone else says, you at least have one fan that laughs at (most) of your jokes!

[@specialshera]

Your humor on this one was delightful. :3 Dead Space is one of my favorite games, and I was delighted by this remake with the sheer amount of lore and details crammed in. The run was also fun as hell, I didn't realize it was even doable- I've seen folks do it with the plasma cutter, but flamethrower is a fun challenge, even the game being uncooperative at the very end. I feel like Isaac would get along with Doom Guy.

[@lewandowski1313]

Been waiting for a new Dead Space vid from you! Love it!!!

[@taltos2467]

I mean I for one would be interested in watching a ng+ contact beam only run lol, seems like it'd be a fun one

[@serPomiz]

on a side note, I love how chen demise is both different and the same it was in the original they really managed to get the feeling of YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHRGHHHHHHH intact, while adding on top of it!

[@schnoz8203]

If you're looking for more runs to do, I've been having a lot of fun playing Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous-- on my third run now and playing around in this game is really fun but also addicting and punishingly difficult. Though you it doesn't look like you've done any CRPG content on the channel yet (I could be wrong), I've been having a blast and the strategic elements have been scratching the itch for another XCOM game-- something you have sunk some time into. Regardless, thanks for the great content! Been around since the Pokemon vid you did way back

[@TheCode-X]

Honestly every weapon in any game should be able to be used through the entire game (Final bosses included)

[@BoldTint]

Yeah, being softlocked out of the ending because you brought the "wrong" weapon to the boss sucks, like, come on, it's a flamethrower, how can you NOT use it?

[@zombieslayer2016]

I remember saying almost the exact same thing on his demon souls firebomb run I genuinely do not understand why games will have weapons that just arbitrarily do not work That being said I do actually really appreciate that lemon uploads challenges that are impossible keeps the ultimate destination a surprise

[@nssheepster]

@@zombieslayer2016 Yeah, immunities and straight breaking weapons is just bad design choice IMO. I can 100% agree with resistances, even really heavy resistances, but pure immunities to a damage or weapon type, that's just telling the player they aren't allowed to use the tools you gave them, and that's not kosher.

[@LilyMaeBlossom]

@@nssheepster That's nothing to do with the bosses or what the game intends, in this instance it's to do with how the flamethrower is coded. The flamethrower itself is not considered a weapon, but rather an output that just spawns fire in certain directions. The secondary attack was originally coded as a projectile, making the flamethrower a weapon and thus being able to trigger the hit registry, but in this game it's just another spawn point for fire. It's an oversight moreso, not so much a design choice, as this was able to be used through the entire game (from getting it at least) before the remake to my knowledge.

[@calebbarnhouse496]

I can't agree with that, it limits desighn, imagine if in metal gear solid 5 when you are in a sniper battle with quite instead of using a sniper rifle, it was just as viable to take an LMG and spray at her, parts of a game being incomparable with part of your toolkit is necessary for those parts to stay interesting and not just be auto completes, having said that arbitrary immunities are also not fun, in most cases, the fire boss in mg5 is another good example, because he was outright immune to bullets, he basically was just a waiting puzzle with a ranged attack and you have to look for the spots to wait for him to get to, however if he just took damage he'd be a bullet sponge

[@duplicarus]

Man I can’t wait to get home and finish this game. Played the original, but this first run is Pulse Rifle and Plasma cutter. NG+ is Pulse Rifle only, then Plasma Cutter, then on to the other weapons. Like I’m so excited man.

[@daltonbecker4494]

How about "Can you beat Dark Souls using only Randomized equipment?" Basically, you have to have your loadout completely randomized. Your armor might be The Brass Helm, Armor of the Glorious, Golem Gauntlets, and Waistcloth of the Channelers. Your Weapon might be a Rapier. Your shield is The Crystal Shield. Your rings are the Ring of the Evil Eye and the Hawk Ring. You must obtain these naturally and until you get them; you can't use anything in that slot.

[@JeepusChrystler]

Is it just me or do the colors seem...off? Are you playing with colorblind accessibility? Or is this some way to get around KZbin censorship to make the blood and gore a different color? Not that I have a _problem_ with either of those points, I just want to make sure I'm not crazy.

[@ericsaffell9007]

Oh no! You got so far with the flame thrower! I solute though for trying bud. I love you channel, and props for using the Argent metal :)

The joke was told too much not for me to comment this. Commerce is not capitalism. Commerce is the exchange of goods and services with currency. This exists in other Modes of Production. Capitalism is a "mode of production" (who owns the production) which includes socialism and communism. Commerce exists in all 3 of those as well. Deadspace is likely a capitalist society, but buy stuff is just commerce.

In the big book of burning before it was lost to the flames it taught, it made note of a mythical form of fire known only to a few as calidior ignis or solidum ignis. while many may call it plasma we few know its true name no matter how stupid it may sound.
