Jesse plays: DAVE THE DIVER | Part 2

[@terakahn]

Jesse rocking that stormtrooper aim. It is so funny that he's struggling so much. I kinda feel bad for him and hope he gets better at it, but its still funny. He needs staff for his restaurant. I sometimes forget how famous Jesse is. Going to the Game Awards and meeting Goggins is a wild story for any normal person.

[@acecommanderjoker3926]

In all honesty, I missed Jesse playing games like this! I been excited for this game to come to consoles and am happy hes also playing it!

[@KnightofBretonnia]

Do you reckon the Coast Guard ever gets tired of having to come save Dave twice a day? Poor Jesse...

[@Eventide215]

"Poor Jesse"?? Most of his deaths were due to him just being completely impatient and complaining that pressing 2 buttons is too much for him mentally..

[@MetalmcBiff]

Jesse repeatedly missing a fish that’s entirely still and stuck in a wall is the most on-brand thing I’ve seen in a long time.

[@SilverionX]

Remember your ABEs. Always Be Enhancing. Every time you can enhance a dish, you should do so, except the dishes with ingredients because they are a pain to get. But all the raw fish ones, absolutely.

[@Eventide215]

Always enhance dishes and only put like 2 on the menu and set it to auto supply. Any extra on the menu is wasted.. So if you put like 20 up and only sell 5, 15 fish are wasted for no reason.

[@AgaricRook]

Also Jesse constantly forgetting he has a melee attack (unless he has a katana).

[@avidwriter2882]

*sigh* Sometimes it's not entertainment.

[@VPRZR0]

i'm like that irl

[@Tplwtch]

also that he can upgrade his equipment

[@kaleiohulee6693]

Don't worry Jesse, your frustration is our content. We eagerly await the multiple "A-ha" moments to come.

[@SenpaiSAINTFLEUR]

1:31:22 you’ve passed by 2 air canisters 🥹🥹🥹,

[@rayw7136]

Here's some helpful hints for Jesse everyone else new to dave the diver: Every time ur in the ocean, try to get as many supplies as possible. Copper, wood, ropes, so you can build better guns. Weapons that cause sleep are actually extremely helpful. The toy hammer is great for collecting jellyfish. Your best option is to collect a lot of the same fish so you have enough to sell. And remember: UPGRADE YOU OXYGEN! Your oxygen is basically your HP. Hope this helps 😁

[@peculiar]

Wouldn't it be better, when collecting a lot of the same fish, to use them to enhance your sushi?

[@nintonic]

The first song you played when you were high of content creators was perfect and sounded great

[@djcochrane]

Bravo for sticking it out.

[@38lizzieb]

1:19:45 Mass Effect the Musical was hilarious and very accurate lol.

[@thetau123]

I want to hear the full songs. I want a video series of high Jesse makes ai video game songs

[@YaoiMaven]

I literally just finished watching ep 1 and ep 2 is already posted? Looking forward to more chill DtD with Big JC! (tho hopefully Jesse will familiarize himself more with how the fishing/diving part works so he doesn't die every time 😅)

[@Eventide215]

What's so frustrating is the diving and fishing are very easy.. the game is literally designed to be very calm and relaxing but he somehow turns it into the most frustrating thing ever cause he refuses to read ANYTHING or take just a few seconds to learn..

[@kathrynbythelake9638]

I hope you keep up with this because I am loving this playthrough. Once you get a few employees, the game is much more manageable. You are making me want to play it again.

[@saratheairhead]

It’s so nice knowing I’m not the only one that struggled with the learning curve in this game! I felt the exact same. I struggled through and after a few upgrades and staff it was so much better!

[@trise2033]

52:39 there are lots of games like that. In fact, I'd love to watch Jesse and Co play Plate Up

[@Eventide215]

Just Jesse and Dodger playing Plate Up together would be a blast. They could add others but it definitely has to be at least those 2 together.

[@SenpaiSAINTFLEUR]

1:21:17 lmbooo 😂😂😂 this sent me over the MOON!!! Not having money is the many problems in this game. But you got this JESSE! 😂😂😂🙏🏾💪🏾 GAME GETS HARDER THO LOL. Hope you’re ready.

[@ReclusiveCaribou]

That’s for the video. Making me want to boot this game up again!

[@BiQNiQ]

this game is surprisingly much fun

[@matty8639]

You made me wanna play this game

[@unitjax9507]

That a rough start, but I have been following you for a while and when I see you struggle I know to expect that you are about to go maximum effort!

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

The diving continues

[@joesamper-v3z]

"if only Dave could date a fish"Ramo enters the chat

[@LaughingGenius]

So, my husband and I played this together. He managed the diving and I managed the restaurant. It worked well!

[@vendrexlorddragon]

Ayyyyyy yoooo, that's some of the funniest shit I've heard. Best April 20th idea to get laughs. 🎉

[@erikaspausen]

You should use more net and tranc guns it will increase the value of the captured fishes.

[@AgaricRook]

Has Jesse gotten over his fear of sharks and the ocean a bit? A game where you actively are diving into the ocean and encountering (and being killed by) sharks and such and he seems much more focused on and ired by just the game mechanics of it all. If anything he seems wholly unperturbed by that part, last video even fighting the game to go further and deeper then the game wanted him to go.

[@ormoffat]

I think it could be first person and detailed graphics vs pixel side scroller? Real sea beasts coming straight for your face like Subnautica or Far Cry might more easily trigger that fear response than pixel diver getting eaten. But yeah I do think I remember Jesse saying something about it not being as bad.

[@Eventide215]

@@ormoffat He's done a bit of exposure therapy over the years basically with things like Farcry and Subnautica. His phobia has gotten better but it's still there. As you said, this isn't first person though so it's much easier to be more removed from the situation. Especially with all the comedy that the game has and all of it being like right on his level. It's well designed for him to laugh and get some exposure.

[@Vyrtigo56]

Content Creators are here!

I’m ok with watching you be bad… as long as you know you’re bad lol

This feels like one of those app advertisements where the person playing is so frustratingly bad that you feel you have to play the game and do better

[@In-Midnight-Clad]

Jesus christ the content creator song is fucking gold lmao

[@In-Midnight-Clad]

Oh god and the mass effect song hahah

[@MetalmcBiff]

Wonder what AI he used to make it

[@WrathWolf]

At what point will he realize he can save waste by assigning one item and then making it autofill.

[@Eventide215]

I assign 2 and have it resupply. It told you about doing resupply but didn't bother to explain why you'd want to. It also doesn't really show you that everything not used on the menu gets thrown away.. He also didn't realize for the longest time that enhancing something uses ingredients.. so he'd use like 3 fish to enhance and have 0 left..

[@Invalidationcoded]

he used autofill last video, but then apparently forgot about it?

[@Sith9890]

Jesse just seems infinitely pissy with this one

[@Evadooker]

love you jesse

[@Lucky7th7450]

Havent watched yet , but cant wait for the shark bits. Love your videos Jesse

[@Eventide215]

I love that he saw a shark on the first episode and didn't realize. When told by chat later he was like "Trust me I'd know if I saw a shark!" It was in the bottom right of the screen swimming around for like 30 seconds and he just never realized.

[@alagon2047]

I feel Jesse would do grand in diner dash ahah just not fishing sim.

[@Invalidationcoded]

Jesse you should prioritize getting that shark because Yoshie makes it so that you can hire employees - you can get other people to help serve food or drink or even a second chef later, it will make the dining gameplay smoother. You should be prioritizing the special dish request quests as well as catching a decent amount of fish overall - preferably not the tiny fish as they usually aren't as good. Also yeah I will have to admit - I've seen other people play this game and die maybe ONCE. This might not be a Jesse game. edit: he got the shark. it was actually a good haul. Good job Jesse.

[@Eventide215]

It's not even really that it's "not a Jesse game" it's just for some reason in the past few like months it seems he's *extremely* impatient with everything he plays. Like you can see it with the first shark fight in this video then the next shark fight.. Time slows to nearly a standstill when you're aiming and he for some reason just rushes to take the shot and misses. Then misses again and again.. then when he runs out of bullets he just tries to like knife the shark down instead of simply going to get bullets or a different weapon.. Even he has said in videos/streams recently that he doesn't have the patience for different things.. then TRY to have patience.. it's no fun for him or the viewers if all he does is rush around 24/7 and fail because of it.

[@xYorYx]

@@Eventide215 I have noticed it too, especially when hes reading because he reads a sentence or two and then just goes Yeah Yeah and skips the rest for no reason :(

[@jackflynn1360]

Jolly good show

[@mojogaming1546]

Why do i want the full version of content creators 😂

[@jacksteaks4943]

OMG the AI music is tooo good!🤣🤣

[@happyhatebot]

I feel you, Jesse. I have a love-hate relationship with some games, and the husband often wonders why I even PLAY some games if they just make me mad. It's just the little things that *do* make me happy are often just worth it, and there's eventually that feeling of finally *getting* it to work past it all. I think Stardew is my worst one - I hate time pressures. I especially hate them when there's multiple things going on (limited time per month, limited time per day, request timers, growing cycles, relationship decay, etc.). But I actually do love the boring little micro parts and running around, and those big payday swings or 'Relationship Up!' cutscenes (even if I've seen them a dozen times already) make me happy. I kind of knew this one would be frustrating for you a bit, though, and I want to say... Whether you keep playing or not, I'm beyond happy you gave it a shot anyway, and if you DO keep playing, I look forward to you having those wins later. Every game is fraught with difficulty as you pick it up, and some stuff just ain't your jam even if it's your vibe. Yanno?

[@Shh_Crafts]

I bought this game in spite cause jesse was frustrating me to much.

[@ckn3481]

15 min in and Jesse is raging :(

[@PolyMorphVZX]

Im only half way in, does he ever read the actual wording of the automate description?

[@cory6266]

Content Creators should be your new channel outro.

[@theseesh9163]

God i hope Jesse doesnt give up on KZbin cause of the algo and shit pay

[@davidbodor1762]

Honestly I don't blame Jesse for the combat failures, I blame him using a controller. Why would anyone ever want to aim with a controller instead of a mouse, I'll never understand.

[@Eventide215]

Well aiming is very limited and it slows down time to a near standstill while aiming.. so you have plenty of time to aim. It's just for some reason he rushes and tries to instantly shoot and misses most of his shots. If this was like an FPS game I'd agree with you that aiming with a controller is something I'll never understand.

[@davidbodor1762]

@@Eventide215 The problem is, with a controlleir, the aim assist can lock onto other targets that you don't want to shoot, so it's not ideal.

[@Eventide215]

@@davidbodor1762 There is no aim assist and it doesn't lock on to anything.. in other games, sure but not this one.

[@davidbodor1762]

@@Eventide215 Then I dunno why he keeps moving it in such a weird way. It looked like he was targeting different fish or something

[@Eventide215]

@@davidbodor1762 It's because he, for whatever reason, panics when aiming. Instead of taking even a second to aim properly he tries to instantly shoot at something as if it's going to run away in slow motion. I've played the game, there's absolutely no aim assist feature. The only "accessibility" option is to automate button pressing (he turns it on eventually but doesn't realize that just means you have to hold the button rather than rapidly press it).

[@Barbabonbon]

game: pls Jesse press x Jesse : WHAT IS THIS QTE THING I HATE IT me : i love you Jesse you don't have to play it

[@trise2033]

Maybe Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms is more Jesse's speed? You don't even have to run the game to play that.

[@Foxboy5692]

how long until jessie realizes he can SELL ingredients

[@SilverionX]

There's no reason to sell ingredients. In fact, most of them are a pain in the ass to get so I had a whole team of staff looking for them when I was in the end game.

[@nicholasg.5441]

I cant help but wonder what could possibly have possessed Jesse, rationally irrational hater of all things oceanic, to play this of all games. Did some character development happen when i wasnt looking?

[@Orochimaul]

Dave works way too hard

[@erikaspausen]

This is basically the "Old white American man raging at clouds simulator"

[@pedrostormrage]

1:18:46 Okay, you gotta make shorts/clips out of those AI songs 😂 I appreciate (the AI's/your) honesty, but the lyrics are not completely accurate (we're not "youth", you've already said we're "old as poop" 👴💩)

[@advkow]

I sadly don't think Boncho is the problem. I think Jesse is just giving the orders to the farthest customer he can, but that the ones closer to the kitchen are getting frustrated at wait times and leaving.

[@TucansamMUSTDie]

Nah, he needs more employees that can cook. Bonch isn't fast enough to fill all the orders

[@Eventide215]

Most of the problem is Jesse falling behind the game from repeated deaths. The restaurant is getting more popular but he's not keeping up with catching and such. Also, employees are desperately needed from like the day after that woman shows up asking for shark.

[@jean-francoissoucy8340]

I can’t watch this serie anymore. all I can think of is the Cuphead review where the guy couldn’t finish the tutorial and this as the same vibe to that.

[@Eventide215]

Yeah it started out great and now it's just Jesse raging at the game cause he can't be bothered to give it more than like 1% of his brain power.. I don't know what is going on with him (and gamers in general lately) but why is this such a trend? Just screaming and ranting about how you don't want to have to *do* anything in the game.. Jesse used to be so entertaining and actually decently good at games while being great at piecing together lore.. that's what we all watched for.. now it's just "old man screams at screen".. every single pop up trying to teach him something he just skips through then complains he doesn't "have the patience".. what "patience"? This is like the most chilled and relaxed game you can get without it being an AFK game..

[@dragossk]

I love this game, but this being a chill game is such a lie. The QTE prompts were the most annoying part of it. There's an option to make them easier but it doesn't make them that easier at all since it's only for 1 button mashing. It gets way easier but much later just by using the upgraded catch net and guns to put big fish to sleep, no QTEs there.

[@zombie0ate0my0brains]

Where is Skyrim?

[@avidwriter2882]

I wish the game had more diving and less running and serving food.

[@MaisieSqueak]

Generally one doesnt go hand to hand (fin) with fucking shark. Zero justification for vitriol. As is the general trend in KZbinrs and streamers ~ if you cant play/fight how you want the game is at fault 😒 By that logic FFXVI is at fault for not having turn based gameplay

[@Eventide215]

Yeah exactly.. it's like I was watching him and Dodger play Ravenswatch and Jesse complains during the boss (with the most simple mechanics) that it's "too much to keep track of".. you play FFXIV all the time and have completed it.. there are bosses with A LOT more going on.. This game is ridiculously chill and relaxed and he still is screaming and ranting about it being too hard.. because he has to press buttons? The QTEs aren't even hard.. it's just for some reason he isn't understanding each QTE is based on the weapon.

[@tackjens]

Jesse why you do this

[@TomasCyr]

Jesse half way through sounds like me. I loved this games vibe but the QTE's just took it out of me. Got further along than he is, but it never grew on me. The combat that is. Managing the restaurant managing the fish farm, night dives, teeth gambling and what have you down below and just vibing on a dive. But boy do I HATE QTE's 1 hundo. It's probably why I haven't touched it in months. Shame too cause this IS a fun game I think

[@Invalidationcoded]

isn't it dependent on the weapon you use? I don't know, I saw other people tend to stick to a specific few weapons and not have to deal with that many different ones

[@Kikkatar.]

If you ever want to try the game again there is an option to make the qte's a bit easier.

[@TomasCyr]

@@Kikkatar. Yeah I know but it just really sucked if you got a QTE you couldn't do and lost 40 minutes of dive stuff, for me anyway. I prefer the Large net gun personally, can't get 3* on the fish without the net gun.

[@TomasCyr]

@@Invalidationcoded Sure, but regardless I just don't like them. I find them to be horribly annoying. I tend to take a nice edible when I play and that can slow down my reaction time, which makes QTEs the worst.

[@Eventide215]

painful to watch... petulant child cant play the most chill game around

[@miwright21]

Yep. What's funny is I USED to think that he's just gotten less chill over the years. Then I went back and re-watched his Skyrim and Dead Space playthroughs and...nah. He's always been a manchild raging over what are ultimately his own screwups, turns out. On the plus side, he calls NPCs "bitch" and "whore" a lot less often now, so that's nice.

[@In-Midnight-Clad]

So don't watch.

[@Invalidationcoded]

to be quite fair, this game has a lot of change-ups in mechanics which is not everyone's cup of tea. also the insults are unnecessary. ALSO also people acting like he was raging when this was the most mild frustration at best. I've seen much worse.

[@Eventide215]

@@Invalidationcoded There is no "change up in mechanics" each weapon has a different QTE. That's all there is to it. It's not like it's a random QTE every time you catch a fish. The dodges are the only thing that will have you randomly press X or Y.. but you have so much time to execute it that if you fail it's your own fault. So your white knight defense here doesn't actually work.

[@Eventide215]

@@miwright21 I know he's always been that way, but he used to at least *try* to play games. Nowadays it's like if he can't pick up on how to do it within 5 seconds he just full on rages and basically "quits" but keeps playing "for the views" and continues raging at the dumbest things.
