I played the "Actually Good Vampire Game"

[@IronPineapple]

V Rising is now 30% off on Steam for a limited time only! wehy.pe/y/2/IronPineapple As a quick channel update, yes, I'm still playing the Elden Ring DLC and I'm finishing up a challenge run for it. I'll probably make one or two more videos on the DLC? Just depends on if I think they're entertaining enough. But yeah, super fun doing another video with the Keebler squad (Raz and yakko) for a game that's actually pretty good, hope you guys enjoy! Also I mention it briefly at 7:33, but you can easily tweak the server settings for V Rising and it's seemingly encouraged by the community. So if you're like me and wanna focus more on the combat, just increase the drops from resource nodes and reduce crafting times. We did x2 resources and x6 crafting/refining speeds. Felt like a sweet spot that didn't upset the balance/progression, highly recommend.

No, trash clickbaiter

[@loglog7]

A mechanic I think you might have missed, that makes Octavian's spin dodgeable, is that when you dodge you leave behind a clone, and that clone pulls aggro on things. Meaning when you hear him start the ability you run away as much as you can and then dash back through him. He will continue to attack the clone as long as it exists while you run back the other way. There are a bunch of abilities you can dodge by doing this. The other major one, especially in brutal difficulty, is that enemies will track you a lot more aggressively so walking and then backstepping to trick the prediction is a mandatory skill in brutal. I think you would love brutal difficulty, would be a great video if you have time some day. The final 4 bosses will kick your ass repeatedly.

Love this game. I adore how they let you change pretty much every setting, to make things as easy, hard, grindy or relaxed as you want. I jacked up all the item drops to reduce resource grind and pretty much turned off the castle heart decay to give myself a really relaxed adventure. I put about 60 hours into the game before I beat the last boss and finished with it. Highly recommended.

[@g.m.fernandes3579]

You should definetely do a playthrough on Brutal. It's not just a harder game mode, the bosses actually get new mechanics as well, and a lot of them are actually really cool. Brutal makes you feel like you're playing a souls like, you have to dodge every hit from bosses, as it takes two or three shots to die in a fight.

[@Nytraz]

I concur. Brutal Dracula is one of my favorite fights in any game ever. Took me probably 40-50 tries to get him but it’s such a fun fight once you learn it.

The shade mechanic is good because survival games always have the "good" time of day and the 'bad" time of day. AKA night. This game flips the script. Night is the best time to be out. Day is a bad time to be out but unlike other survival games, there's counter play. You're not bumbling in pitch darkness. That's why it's super satisfying as a mechanic.

[@reanamet1901]

To be fair, some games do make it so that you can opt to counter night by, for example, giving up your shield/two-handed weapon to carry a lightsource, or some other relatively passive stuff like that, but yeah, slinking from shadow to shadow seems much more active and engaging.

[@Lernos1]

@@reanamet1901 I think most games counter the night by allowing you to sleep through it and skip time. I saw the vampire coffins in the video, though I'm not sure if you could skip daytime with them. Anyway - WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE.

[@dumbsterdives]

​@@Lernos1i can confirm sleeping in the coffin doesnt pass time - because its fully designed as an online multiplayer game the time is tied to the server. it seems to be meant more as an afk idle spot from my guess. thankfully as a tradeoff if you make a private server you can change length of full days and how long daylight lasts

[@Lernos1]

@@dumbsterdives Well, in a lot of multiplayer survival games (Minecraft, The Forest etc.) you can still skip the night if every single player on the server goes to bed. I'm guessing that doesn't work in V either? A shame if that's the case, but yeah, I guess there's that server setting.

For some reason I find it mad infuriating that Pineapple doesn't rotate the camera during combat to keep the target in sight lol. It was one of the first things I started doing when I played. It certainly is a fun game. The survival/crafting mechanics are not everyones cup of tea but you can adjust them. In fact the entirely game is amazingly adjustable to be how you want it to be, eg if you're playing solo turn off the limit on teleporting with stuff in your inventory.

For those that would be irritated by the occasional sun waiting (Im in the camp of these folk that I think its just on the right side of annoying that I enjoy playing around it) you can adjust how much of the day is sun in your world/server settings. Regardless on your sun feelings, I would recommend disabling the teleport limitations on items, feels bad unlocking the buildable waygate and not really getting to use it cause of what you're carrying most of the time.

[@notednuance]

@@roddygonzalez2017 Yeah probably a mixture of pvp balancing and its just a really common mechanic in survival games with teleports, but I think their answer to pvp vs pve balancing is giving you a lot of control over your server settings. Sometimes Im down with the limit... like in valheim I think it enforces the intended gameplay of going on a long journey and getting back with your ill-gotten gains (plus they just added an improved portal without limits).

Oh this game is great!

Besides, it's the best way to experience the classic "lives in a Fancy Castle, raids villages, has a weakness to garlic" fantasy which not even Vampire the Masquerade does justice.

[@haraberu]

VtM is set in the modern day. This game is set in the 'Golden Age' of vampirism. It's literally a plot point in the original Dracula novel that the golden age of vampirism is slowly ending because it's 1893 and you can no longer buy a fancy castle without a paper trail and some form of government ID. You can't have Fancy Castle vampirism in the modern day, and VtM knows that so it's not even trying.

Weapon damage down and spell damage up, cause I felt like there's no real point to juggling my spells into my combos when weapons out-damage in the long run. I also made the nights longer than the days so that I can walk to and from areas without too much trouble, enabled use of portals whilst carrying all items, and turned the effects of silver and garlic way down. That's really something I adore about V Rising. My experience is probably way different from most, because you can just edit so many settings about your little world. 59:32 Here's a few tricks for avoiding damage, if you don't mind spoiling yourself a little. It's fun to find these things out for yourself, but I just wanna point out that, even in 1v1, he's not an unfair fight. I've only played the game solo, so I had more of a defensive playstyle. When you go to Feed on a low enemy, you become invulnerable whilst traveling towards the enemy. You can then attack to execute the enemy and end the Feeding immediately on arrival. This essentially allows for situational dodging. Keeping enemy minions alive at low HP is a good trick to keep in mind. Like you noticed with your sword, your actual dodge ability is not your only dodge. Having a dodge or a shield ability is very handy, but even outside of that, make sure to hold your dash, and hold your weapon abilities that allow dodging. Abilities like that spin are usually balanced by making turning around difficult for the boss. You are often dashing away from him, but that won't really help you. Instead, you should be dodging through him. I recommend keeping one of the dash abilities that allow you dodge twice in quick succession, such as the Chaos Dash. That way, you can dash through him, and then when he turns around, dash through him a second time. This buys you a lot of time to outlast him. If you then also have a shielding ability, such as the frost or unholy one, you can buy more time, then weapon dodge, and then your dash should be up again, if he isn't yet done spinning. The Slashers are pretty objectively the best weapons for defense, is what I've found. When you go invisible, instead of benefitting from the damage, just stay invisible. The boss will lose track of you, and just kinda stand there looking stupid. This buys you a few seconds of cooldown on your other abilities. This is especially useful with stuff like that spinning attack, as he just spins in place when he has no target to follow. This allows you to focus solely on dodging the projectiles that come outta him.

Gotta be real, I see "pick up 10 stone" and I dip.

One of my favorite survival games. It’s hella worth.

"Good game" "Survivial game" Pick one

Kid named Fortnite save the world its the best game out there fr 1:05

[@g.m.fernandes3579]

L Take. V RIsing is much more ARPG than simply a survival crafting game. It's an ARPG where you have to craft all your gear, and to unlock better gear and spells you have to kill bosses.

@@g.m.fernandes3579 "arpg where you have to craft your gear" and like that, you've lost me

"game genre I don't like = bad genre" actual moon brain take, believe it or not the entire games industry and consumer base aren't solely concerned with what you're personally looking for

I really love this game. Took me by suprise and it's so fun. Also add a lot of Quality-of-Life features that are missing in other games

"Actually good vampire game" This isn't Vampire: The Masquerade

[@MyuNeptune]

Honestly you grabbed a great sponsorship. The game is sick and more people should try it.

[@RMX010]

Oh it's a sponsored video... good, not gonna watch but you got my like so we even i guess, good luck.

[@shanyeyeye2159]

idk why but this has become my favorite video. I have currently watched this 5 times,

[@EpicLebaneseNerd]

good lord, not V rising.....i really can't see myself enjoying it, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT IS A GREAT GAME, i just am sure i won't like this.

[@Ashurman666]

This game would be a whole lot better if it didn't have dumb crafting mechanics tacked in just to check a checkbox

[@krux02]

I think the castle building is pretty fun though. I just don't like the idea of walking items around in the castle and bringing them from chest to chests. That's what the servants should do.

[@Ashurman666]

@@krux02 I think it would have been better if you found ruins of castle naturally in the world and rebuilt them or customized them to your liking. Same goes for gear, just find it naturally in the world or even take your enemy's gear. That would leave you more free time to focus on the combat and bosses which is the highlight of the game.

[@ariannadravis3934]

​@@Ashurman666 Highlight for you. I personally, in my time playing, thought it was kinda eh. I like the base building much more. It is a survival game, you are asking for it to just..not be that. There not for everyone tastes!

This is just 3 of my favorite gaming commentary KZbinrs hanging out playing what legitimately looks like an incredibly good game.

[@FireFight.Lullabies]

more and more companies are using streamers and challenge runners as cheap advertising under the guise oh sponsorship... incase you guys ahve been wondering why suddenly all your favorite streamers and content creators are suddenly doing content that doesnt fit with their normal stuff.

[@MrBoxreviews]

Wah wah, this game is actually great l. This falls in line with his content too.

[@RMX010]

@@MrBoxreviews game is trash, but op is actually tweaking

I wouldn't say that marketing is worthless - of course good marketing helps when you have a good product. but its a big red flag when a company tries to push the former to account for a lack of the latter.
