How Every Fear and Hunger Playthrough is Different

[@acewing3889]

no one tell garnt this game basically makes you the main character of a regression genre manhwa

he's gonna be gone for like 6 months and drop a video of Fear and Hunger on his main channel somehow tie it back to his regression manhwa addiction in the end with something clever like "it's essentially a made your own adventure but for regression"

[@LazyVoxel]

I love that even Conner was even impressed about the skin suit.

[@parfaitcell3067]

Aren't books on the bookshelf also randomized? It's crazy that Garnt pulled it at the right moment when he has a scalpel

[@ElJags]

Killing rewards you, but only if you kill everything in the floor. You get free saves in the floor if theres beds in it

[@justbacon9567]

also, some enemies have food, weapons and armor when you loot them

[@overcookedbacon5999]

Not to forget about their souls, whether it's for the immediate benefit or ability to improve yourself.

[@Snirby1629]

you also get rewards from killing certain things later in the game

[@SayuHatto]

That highlight gave me the same feeling and vibes of when internet wasn't that much of a thing and you start talking about this new game that all of you started playing at the same time and discussed about where everyone is in the game, how to beat certain things and listening to everyone's experience during school break or something.

[@XenoKira69]

ikrr That's so much fun

[@Lickicker]

Thats how i felt about playing shadow of the colossus when it came out. All the bosses are basically platforming puzzles, but child me didnt have internet access so i had to figure that shit out through trial and error.

[@devildante9]

Literally the demons's souls and dark souls experience. Then everything fell apart when datamining came out, I remember people hitting every wall in the game with the talisman that does nothing equipped to see if it did something. Now elden ring is all about "hardcore" gaming, with bosses that do 80% of your health with every hit, and spend half the fight in the air doing triple backflips that you can't interrupt or attack them during it. I remember when people did entire guides in how to skip Flamelurker, those were the days.

[@sleepyproduction7166]

I really think it’s funny Connor got so damn far, beat the game without doing souls or most of the mechanics to the point frapollo was like ‘your better than me’ because he was using abilities and every mechanic to beat the game and Connor stumbled his way there. I wish I could play it again my laptop is broken

[@darkerdaemon7794]

I legit did the same thing my first couple of tries. Had no idea about hexen and so on, I don't think I got any endings but I made it super far. Got down into the gauntlet once as Cahara and died to the two headed mauler. First run I did where I found the hexen and realized what it was I beat it in 6 hours getting Caraha A ending.

[@Zen-zt4uk]

Garnt explaining his Fear and Hunger experience and then comparing it to Jump King is such a Garnt thing to do

[@colorfulmoth]

I'd love a Connor + Super Eyepatch Wolf Fear and Hunger race with Frapollo as the judge.

[@kitetm7596]

Frapollo is proud 😁

[@svolozhanin7627]

Black Souls community is spitting at the direction of the Funger community with how mainstream it’s getting. The gatekeeping is strong in that one.

[@Ace-ob9yk]

With how much marketing Frapollo made to this game I am surprised he is not the dev. Dude even patch the game…

[@notreallydavek7237]

Gatekeeping is so pointless and harmful to whatever piece of media people are gatekeeping.

[@johncedricksantos2401]

Bro is the "Fear" in Fear and Hunger

[@MrAnimu]

It's so cool to see Garnt enjoy Fear and Hunger. When Connor first talked about it, Garnt showed some hesitation on trying it out

[@MaZe_LaZeRGD]

I can't believe I sat through 40 minutes of fear and hunger talk without knowing anything or caring about the game and now I am suddenly sold on it

[@FrancisYorkMorganFBI]

it's great. personally i prefer the second game. a lot more story and characters in that one.

[@41tinman41]

you can always watch Connor's playthroughs

[@Tsorer]

that Demon clip at 19:04 genuinely gives me goosebumps, that thing is terrifying.

[@PedroHenrique-fi7zz]

First time i played the game i refunded that shit, because of that part. The game just made me feel physically sick, seeing all the gore, dicks and macabre atmosphere. But then picked it back up after hearing about the second game coming out and i love it. XD

[@jetstream6396]

16:21 The defense stat isn't broken, it's just that it's a number that gives you a general idea of how powerful the armor should be because the true defense percentages are hidden, probably due to the developer struggling with the spaghetti code. The defense stat actually does a decent job at that most of the time. Like, try starting the game with the knight using the Long sword so you'll get the shield and see how fast the enemies will take you down with and without the armor to see how huge the difference is.

[@kennethchambers594]

They aren't talking of the defense stat itself, but buffs towards it, like the defense stance, which decreases PHYSICAL damage and increases evasion, however RPGMaker has 3 types of attacks, "Certain Hits", Physical and Magic. Of the 300+ attacks in the game, less than 50 are actually classified as physical attacks in the code and the remaining 260 attacks are "Certain Hits" which aren't affected by evasion.

[@artan_kaare3504]

pathologic and rain world are games that are conceptually similar to Fear and Hunger. both are wary punishing in a way that fits with thier storys themes. rain world is a beautiful commentary on the unfairness of nature and pathologic straight up just mocks you.

[@Dracobyte]

Would you also include Disco Elysium in that category?

[@artan_kaare3504]

@@Dracobyte idk havent playd it, you can judge that beter then me.

[@starhalv2427]

If you beat a guard, he might drop a skeletal arm which the girl can use as a mace (and is stronger than a knife)

[@MapleNaros]

she cannot in fact use the skeletal arm as a weapon, not for the girl nor anyone else. Frapollo already mentioned this in a video of his.

[@starhalv2427]

[@starhalv2427]

@@Vyes You know, the most infuriating thing isn't that whenever I tell that fun fact that girl can use skeletal arm as a weapon, someone or multiple people in the comments respond telling them I'm wrong. The most infuriating part is how smug they usually are while telling me I'm wrong. Not under this comment, but under another. For context, I only told about that three times, two out of three times as part of saying what f*cked up things I did on my first run before it was ended by Crowmauler.

[@Dracobyte]

This is a wild dream, but it would be nice of you could invite Frapollo to the show.

[@Lickicker]

I mean he only coached connor through ragnevalders S ending. Im sure they could arrange that.

[@palamecianrider7385]

If Frapollo is in Japan then that's in the itinerary

[@Zen-zt4uk]

Garnt playing Fear and Hunger is so funny to me after the '75%? I don't like the sound of those odds' moment when he heard how the lucky coin mechanic works Even tho he's a gacha player, but then again one could argue its just usual png gambling compared to hours of playthrough

[@execrisiscoreonearth]

That's the thing with gacha mechanics though: it is usually only fun when you know it's going to happen, and it doesn't determine every single step of progress. When it comes down to pure luck if you are allowed to make it to the next area of the game..... It definitely loses its appeal. I think the save mechanics really saved this series, frankly; I recall many soured experiences over most of the beginning stages, back when this game wasn't fully completed. Honestly, people warm up more to the game as a whole once they encounter the save mechanic, albeit only slightly for some lol. It's also a pretty good compromise between the brutality the game is going for by keeping it limited, while giving something for the player to at least build off of.

[@aoihitori]

This is why I love games that don't had Yellow lines that would tell you what to do or will hand hold you like an infant who never played a game before. Fear & Hunger, Kenshi, Project Zomboid, and other Indie games that will let you roam around are the best kind of roleplay games. There is no need for Hollywood Cinematic Cutscenes, there is no Need for Narration, and just leave you there to learn and play the game. The same reason why these games had avid fans cuz they are good game and just pure gameplay.

[@tani7895]

My directionally challenged ass needs a map at the very least.

[@randomguy6679]

Don’t games like The Last of Us have avid fans too though?

[@shadowmeka.5205]

the boys should try fear and hunger 2 it a bit more chill and way more hard as well at times

[@maxwellbrb]

conner: “so why’d you do it?” them: “JRPG brain 😃😃”

[@Vyes]

8:22 A new player will trust a character literally named after torture and get tortured to death. A normal player will know to ambush Trortur and he’s one of the easiest fights in the game. People who have beaten the game will know you can talk to him and sell out Buckman, befriending Trortur sending you on a special quest line that will end with him gifting you a key that unlocks the strongest armor in the game. An absolute degenerate player will know you can just use Cahara’s pickpocket skill on Trortur during the fight and steal the key. Fear and Hunger is filled with these examples of the iceberg going deeper than originally anticipated.

[@redagamer8505]

[@execrisiscoreonearth]

Only type of thing that I think is worth sharing, regardless of spoiler beliefs, is that whole thing with the blank scrolls.... There's just no way you are going to know what to type into that. Things like that, definitely worth "spoiling" as it's essentially expecting you to pull from communal knowledge or waste the thing entirely.

[@waltervoidbringer4491]

There is only one instance of the game "telling" you how to use empty scrolls and it requires you to remember a seemingly meaningless flavor text you get from interacting with a miscellaneous object. Miro really did a good job of making his game as unplayable as possible while still being a game and I fucking love it! It's usually in the room where you meet Enki (the black priest playable character) if you play as other characters. But here's the kicker of this "tutorial" moment - it's literally just a bookstand that says: "O LORD" "TEACH" "HURTING" You either need a massive brain or a huge leap in logic to figure out how to use empty scrolls

[@cityblue7029]

@@waltervoidbringer4491 there is even more hidden way the game tell you, if you wear the priest robe (rng drop) and talk to other priest, they will tell you how to use the empty scroll

[@kuromoriofi]

because that the ''realism'' of the game, you enter a dungeon alone, there is no one there to tell shit, you have to learn everything, remember everything you read and learn

[@jetstream6396]

​@waltervoidbringer4491 Actually, if you wear a priest's armor, which can change your visual appearance, you can talk to the dark priests instead of fighting them, and one of them will outright explain how empty scrolls work by advising you to ask Jesus for cheese. I think there's another book stand too, but it's basically in the endgame, so eh.

Fear and hunger is alot like dark souls. You gotta explore and just throw yourself into the meat grinder to figure stuff out. Whats nice with dark souls especially is someone can tell you exactly how to defeat a boss and it doesnt really help you unless its a gimmick boss which dark souls 3 oh so loved. you just have to get good at the game to beat a boss that requires skill.
