Endless Space 2 Abridged Part 6 (Final) - Refusing To Win In An Efficent Manner

[@povilzem]

As a fellow member of the bourgeoisie, I fondly remember the This Is Content series... I suppose it's a bit similar to the abridged commentaries, but there is something particularly endearing in random spur-of-the-moment bullshit.

Can't go wrong with some mangy bread.

It is happening, have about 2 hours of fresh CONTENT produced, going to start a new channel when I have time to sort it out

Considered doing one of the alt history mods with HoI4? Can recommend Kaisereich

Yeah lots of people have recommended that one, gonna look through mods next time I get the hearts of iron urge

@@OfficiallyDevin isn't that the one where Germany somehow eventually wins WW1, without invading the UK, and then magically doesn't become a barely functioning heavily in-dept country like it happened historically to the UK and France but in fact becomes a Super Power that can compete with the US economy through the power of fanboyism and "the colonies of the UK and France" (Because you know those country didn't have those colony irl)

@@Palora01 Pre-WW1 Prussia was great industrial powerhouse in Europe second only to UK, while pre ww1 US was just big cotton field with few oil deposits.

[@Palora01]

@@mikeangelo2886 yeah no, pre-ww1 US was well on it's way to becoming the biggest economy in the world and during WW1 it did become so. Meanwhile during WW1 Germany pretty much ran it self into the ground and had it won the war it would have been in a worst state than France was historically not better. If anything losing the war kinda made things easier on it since the US was willing to offer it loans.

[@ProjectEkerTest33]

@@Palora01 So Germany wins the war without invading UK cause once France falls Britain just signs a peace treaty having been defeated in France and (somehow) in the middle-east by the Ottomans. They do this because the British public are incresingly fed up of the war especially as they're losing though it still doesn't stop the revolution. Germany is still in a fairly rough state and are in a similar position to IRL Britain and France. While they are the dominant force in Europe their economy stangnates and then crashes leaving them vulnerable to Britsh, French and Russian revanchism. As for the US I'm not totally clear but I think cause France and Britain collapse and the new Syndicalist goverments ain't interested in paying debts owed to the US that makes the great depression even worse and political extremism on both sides of the spectrum eventually leads to a massive civil war. Does it make total sense? Probably not but it's a fun mod.

There's this small charming indie game about becoming the world's best fighter called punch club. Inexpensive and not overly long, filled with references to older movies and games. I think you might enjoy that.

[@rossjames8839]

The first half of that game is great. The second half is worse than this one's.

[@nobubblegums-1899]

Hope the algorithm treats the new channel well, IIRC your more in-depth videos attracted more viewers anyway. I'm relatively new to the channel, so I actually go through your old videos almost daily, I had a pretty shitty year (more than everyone, sadly) and they really help me wind down enough to sleep. Not that they're boring of course, sometimes I actually get up and watch them properly, anyhooo just wanted to say thanks. For WW2 I always heard good stuff about Unity of Command series, I guess they focus more on warring and less on governing in comparison to sth like HoI4.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Thanks! Don't really know what I'm doing, but hoping that experimenting with things in 2022 will make something promising happen. Plenty more content on the way!

[@OfficiallyDevin]

And keep it up out there!

[@Initiate88]

Fully support some of the old series getting comp'd up and reuploaded. Show the algorithm who is the real sneaki breeki

[@R3GARnator]

Cid Miers Alpha Centauri would be perfect for your style, it basically roleplays itself.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Agreed, played the demo when I was a kid. Bet some cool writing could come of it.

[@Kalalification]

How about Jagged Alliance 2? I enjoyed your XCOM/Xenonauts series, and it's a similar-to-but-different-enough-from game to those that I think it'd be worth you checking out. I also think The Guild II with its expansions could be a fun series to do, it's an amusing economic/political management game with RPG elements.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Havent heard of it, but yeah i wanted some xcom-like action soon. Looked for xenonauts 2 but its unfinished. Great genre to edit down I think!

[@alcoolamus4208]

Omg I forgot about this in ES2, that's so annoying when alliances sign peace on your behalf and you can't do shit about it That's so stupid, idk what the devs thought here

[@theLetterDoubleYou]

I miss OffyD. No one makes existential crisis sound more lighthearted. Plus I know what he is feeling when he records a mobile game endorsement so it's even better.

[@muratemkuzhev1958]

so how about another stab at Victoria? I loved the tutorial reaction

[@guildmasterwigglytuff235]

If you're in the mood for more 4x style games, there's always endless legend, a more fantasy-oriented one that is set on auriga

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Planning on trying it, had it since it came out and still havent played it!

[@DragonSageSequi]

I would like to see you do an abridged version of one of the age of wonders games. My favorite was age of wonders 3, but the entirety of the series was honestly really fun. I think I'd really enjoy it from your channel with the abridged commentary.

[@Apt00]

If you're feeling up to a turn-based RPG with a time mechanic, Helen's Mysterious Castle is pretty neat. First time I've ever encountered something like it. Very cheap too.

[@danilshcherbakov2126]

Classic diplomacy, analogous to the AI signing a lease contract because they wanted a 20 dollar signing bonus

[@Inceyb]

I can highly recommend Starsector it's a top-down 2D open world sci-fi rpg. It's also not very well known, I think it would be up your alley.

[@SalmonCaramel]

Thanks for the upload!

hi devin, is this your real voice lol. i love it

I literally cannot wait for the announcement of the 3rd Devin channel.

[@prestongarvey7745]

It’s too late now but it’s a bit of a shame this was the first game you played out of the series, I’ve heard Endless Legend is really quite good and fairly unique. But anyway congratulations on finally impressing giga chad and fish mommy with your large amount digitized ghost souls(or whatever tf this game is about).

[@danielkjm]

*I would love to see you playing Galactic Civilization 2*

[@TheAleatoriorandom]

Pity the narrative aspect isn´t as deep or influential as it could be, but still super solid game in other aspects. Nice series!

[@kamepoina]

i saw this video on my main youtube page, yes this exact video, but i did not watched it, then the next day i watch some kings and generals video and i wonder who is the person who narrate the video, then i found your channel and see this video, lol

[@dragonforks93]

Been a while since you did a Total War campaign, how about a challenge run of some kind? Totally understand if you feel burnt out on TW. Love the videos as always, I always hold out hope for the return of TIC.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

A challenge or mod is what I'm thinking, haven't given it much thought yet but there could be something. More tic is in production, going to make a channel for it!

Super Random but for Shogun 2... How did you get the "archers sounding like cannons or rifle fire" glitch to stop happening? It's so annoying and I've tried Sinfonia... doesn't work.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Sometimes it just doesn't work, I had that issue too. I did eventually fix it, but it was years ago now, can't remember much. I think I played with the load order of mods and ran sinfonia semplice loads of times with different setups. The plague continues even until this day it seems!

3 weeks without content.!? I need my fixed !

Slowly making new content, trying to edit old compilations though so it's slow. Will be back... 2022?!

[@missingmochigumanofficial]

Just a suggestion, but rather than a compilation of scenes from old TIC, how about considering uploading seconds-long clips from them? Maybe just as promo material. Bite-sized and quotable clips are what catch the algorithm after all.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Yeah could make them into shorts, I would like to try this, will see if any moments stand out in particular
