i really like the slideshow of zeke they put up there.

[@brennenhorton2493]

You could say that Zeke was dropping some frames...

[@dee6561]

I loved that talk about Fire Emblem! So strange seeing you two gush over the characters haha!

[@DJchestr]

When Zeke's camera blurs out it looks like a bad Bigfoot photo lol

[@5chr4pn3ll]

02:01:40 That discussion, without context, is like teenagers discussing how to date girls xD

[@hererww1761]

Erectus is such a hard game that my head was throbbing with the anticipation of the climax.

[@CrimRui]

48:30 Cohh finally talks about Danganronpa 2. Looking forward in seeing him play V3. :3

[@TheRetroGamerGuy]

@1:08:22 Cohh is about to murder JP over that slander.

[@esentis_x]

@56:31 FIRE EMBLEM

[@TheOtherJonB]

Thanks pal

[@tokamnich4709]

Each character has predefined "Growth Rates" for each stat to receive a boost upon leveling up. For example sylvain can become good in reason however his magic chance is 20% lower than his str chance upon leveling up. So yes he can be a good caster, however he can be a great physical attacker

[@dizzt19]

Iratus seems really cool. Not just in theme but in the throw away nature of minions :)

[@Infamosucarlos10]

JP through the Wolfenstein explanation is a mood.

[@golfer435]

Cohh is correct. Certifications give you base stat bonuses based on the class. Additionally, character's growth rates are effected by the class you assign them. In JPs example of Raphael having terrible resistance he could, if he wanted to, put a few levels into a mage class to fix that

[@DoublexCoke]

Just a heads up if you don't already know each house has a different ending, so starting a new house will give you different story beats.

[@lazyliam7402]

"I don't know anyone that has gotten hooked immediately" as Cohh is catching a fish on the VOD 1:05:05 LUL

[@ActionHank]

I feel like Cohh had a very strange experience overall with Wolfenstein, and I can tell you that my personal experience albeit 100% played with a friend, was entirely different and for the most part enjoyable. I do agree that the way the weapons work was a bit wonky, but I can tell you if you upgrade the weapons properly, you can melt just about every enemy w/o much issue with any gun. As to his ammo situation, I don't know what his problem was, but I never came across an issue with ammo being scarce. All in all, for the money, its actually a really fun title that's cheap and shouldn't be compared to $60 titles, which is the vibe I picked up from his analysis.

[@gterra37]

I woke my wife laughing of vanishing zeke.

[@golfer435]

You haven't played FE until you had to deal with Speed Screwed Micaiah on hard mode Radiant Dawn. That is a special kind of hell

[@tokamnich4709]

I thought felix was just an ass. He is so full of himself and insulted almost everyone. But the more support he gains with each unit he changes. I used to hate him but now I understand him. And he is awesome

[@blackmanwhitesuit]

T and S. It's two bad both guys were spoiled. I was spoiled too after I thought about it, but I feel there's still more to story, so I'm excited moving forward.

[@MightyWarriorReviews]

There's an apparition of Zeek this episode! 😲

[@Kumimono]

I wonder, if in Pilatus: Lord of The Dance, you can retrieve parts of your fallen monsters, if part of the team still stands. Just scoop up that level 4 brain....

[@Corusame]

Ezekiel spends the whole vid trapped between two dimensions. That's dedication for you. Wolfenstein:YB sounds like a switch of game mechanics to open it up to microtransactions. Glad I steered clear of it, shame as it'll probably kill the Wolfenstein IP After watching this I really wanna play Fire Emblem, sounds right up my turn-based alley

[@michaelhudson3737]

i so wanna play fire emblem I just have so many other 80hour RPGs on my plate already.

[@DoggyP00]

Micro mistakes and random bullshit is why I think the movement arts that beginner class masteries give are so important and fun. Say you miss that 95% that now that you missed you're going to die. Just get your falcon rider to reposition him. Oh? your falcon knight is a few spaces too far? reposition with your sword user and shove him with an axe or bow user and now she's in range!

[@RexZShadow]

I mean game literally has red lines telling you who the enemy will target. Make it so much easier than previous games in some regards. Also like ZR show full aggro range of all enemy which I have on almost all the time.

[@golfer435]

Catherine, Shamir, and the other professors are the unit archetype known as the Jagen. This ties back to a story beat in the first FE game where you had to sacrifice a unit in order to escape a map, this unit was named Jagen. Jagens are typically pre-promotes (units that are bit a base class when you get them) and have really high stats early but have very poor growths overall, making them a bit of trap for inexperienced players. Their counterparts are called Oifeys (after a uh bit from FE4). Thiugh I would likely classify Shamir as an Oifey as she has a ridiculously high speed growth

[@servebotfrank4082]

1:21:00 I have a 150 hours and I just got my first zero level up, I didn't know that was a thing.

[@optimus2200]

Add cohh in another roleplay game JP geeee :D

[@seal765]

Got a G2A ad on this video (in EU). You probably have no control over that but maybe wanna know.

[@zephron28]

Boardgames: Gloomhaven, Tiny Epic Quest, Lords of Waterdeep. You dudes are welcome to my place and we will play the shit out of them!

[@lionfan96]

if you like board games, you should check out stone age, village, and caverna. all AMAZING.

Seeing JP and Cohh discuss the Deer and Lions paths knowing he is currently playing Black Eagles is rather hilarious

[@firecrow7973]

does zeke have a giant wort next to his nose?

[@alfredwinchesterjr]

Nah that's just his face.

[@blackmanwhitesuit]

I can't watch JP's FE:3H playthrough, but I just finished Cohh's 95 hr playthrough and I'm looking for another one. Any suggestions for Deer and Eagle runs?

[@golfer435]

Mangs just hit war phase if you can handle his insanity

[@blackmanwhitesuit]

@@golfer435 Oh he's a fire emblem guy and looks like the other guy, Micah, is playing Golden Deer. I'll have to see. Thanks.

[@LooseCo]

Youngblood excells at things like Jess and Soph being amazing lovable dorks and the few story bits are quite good. But gameplay wise this just doesn't feel fun compared to the past 3 (2.5?) games. The thing that killed my playthrough was, I got to the final boss of one of the towers, in Brother 1. I then died to that boss. And instead of being sent back to what I assumed was the checkpoint, the elevator, it instead sent me to the VERY beginning of the entire area. That's at least like 40 minutes to an hour of time I spent that just basically got erased and I now would've had to start over. It made me just straight up stop playing completely and I now just plan on watching a lets play or a story recap on youtube.

[@jussiviitasaari9687]

Oh shait why i don't read comments fully ? Sorry

[@shadybrain3424]

FE more intricate than xcom? I don't agree at all.

[@johnathanera5863]

It is though lol. At least this one is

[@shadybrain3424]

It is so much more intricate, at least this one is.

Lmao Wolfenstein youngblood isn't anywhere near as bad as Fallout 76 lol. its like a 7/10 max and fallout 76 is like a 2-3/10 max

[@Patatetbk]

I wonder how much you have to pay Cohh to be on one of these video. Everyone know the man doesn't stream or do anything without having a sponsor of some sort.

[@deatheater6222]

all big streamers have sponsors

[@toshizue8627]

From what I can see, Youngblood requires you to be a bit more smart, which isn't how the previous Wolfenstein was about. I can see why Cohh would dislike because he had a set expectation and he always plays on hardest difficulty which exacerbated his negative experience.

[@Frykin]

Really didn't like this episode it just dragged and felt boring to me. Zeke just rambles on far to much and just doesn't have anything to say of import.
