Let's Look At: Teleglitch: Die More Edition! [PC]

[@xucthclu]

Knifing, when mastered, can actually save up tons of ammo (but should usually be confined when one is faced by up to 3 opponents at a time), and, combined with a trick where you blast a small hole in a secret wall (small enough for you to get in but not the monsters), you can essentially knife down hordes that way. That said, in TG health usually is more important than ammo.

[@TobeasJ]

The ad said "Don't click me away" but guess what? *Puts on sunglasses* I did anyway.

[@theillmeister]

Game is fucking fantastic. So much fun and way more intense than I imagined it to be.

[@Takkon16]

I don't know why people are complaining about the graphics of the game. They really do match with the atmosphere.

[@l3702]

Tips in telegltch. Do not worry about ammo cus they are found everywhere but if you're a crap player then master the knife. To see secret rooms you just have to look for holes in the walls. It should be a secret room. If you only heal yourself with canned meat you can raise your healf up to 150.

[@internisus]

Am I the only one who not only thinks that Teleglitch is radically different from The Binding of Isaac and wishes that NL would find some other gaming touchstones to compare things to but also greatly prefers Teleglitch?

[@xucthclu]

The game is coming out in 2 days, you can already pre-order it to also get bonus features, if you feel like it. Afaik, it will be available on steam.

[@WuTheBat]

It's not a review though. It's an impression, a personal opinion video, that still showcases and gets the word out that the game is even there. He even said it's a game people would love if they knew about it, and that is accomplished with this video.

[@shadowen1942]

Agreed, it gives you an additional weapon and something to do with all those nailboxes that you will find so you have more ammo. The nailgun is good for smaller enemies and works well on groups of them too. I believe you just need to find the 'hardware' and 'tube' items to turn the pistol into a nailgun. You should also be able to find a 2nd pistol soon as well so you can have both weapons and use those 9mm rounds.

[@xucthclu]

Sometimes enemies do drop canned meat, but you're right, one is better off avoiding having to kill them (or leading them into the anomaly, which insta-kills them). Also, autopistol becomes more useful as one progresses and starts using other weapons as well, which makes the ammo more abundant; as for the explosives, I can also disagree dree on the fact that, if you gather a particularly large mob on your tail (more than, say, 20 monsters) an RDX500 will be more effective.

[@fimbulvntr]

Northernlion, if you ever decide to do a let's play of teleglitch, keep in mind you can use conventional weapons or agl-1 sticky bombs to blow crates/walls that are blocking secret areas. You do not need to use RDX explosives. Upvote this so he can see!

[@yoga4dogs]

ACtually, if you read on the publisher's website (Paradox) you can see that "Those who already own Teleglitch from its previous launch will be upgraded to Die More Edition at no charge, and will also receive the pre-order bonuses."

[@CabbageFoot16]

They share the fact that they are a dungeon crawler top-down real time game that utilizes the mouse and keyboard. Binding of Isaac has no crafting, no melee, no continuous level design (rather zelda style rooms), it is considerably slower paced, it has an arcady/silly theme to it (while tele-glitch is frantic survival horror). Other then that, you're right they are totally similar ;b

[@xucthclu]

The levels are not procedurally generated in the way most roguelikes handle that. There are premade locations/rooms that get put together when you start a level, a certain room can only be paired with certain other rooms, but the order in which they may be paired up or which rooms it will be paired together with is randomised. Consider it, as someone mentioned pseudo-generated. I think it's nice in that it has the random element, but foregoes the blandness that PG levels usually have.

[@xucthclu]

The game has: *permadeath *randomised levels *a crafting system It does not, however, feature turn-based playstyle or leveling, so whether the lack of those elements deem it not roguelike is your call. Personally, I'd say it's primarily a top-down survival shooter with roguelike elements, if I want to be as precise as I can possibly be.

[@tf2maniac123]

Challenge run: Amnesia Lore: Luca was swirling around your feet and you fell down a flight of stairs, you bump your head badly and get a slight case of amnesia, and you've forgotten about all the game you've ever played Rules: During a Let's Look at, don't mention any game other than the one you are currently playing. Goal: Regain your lost memory by reviewing a game

[@multieyedmyr]

There is more to games then looks. He is mostly referring too the fact it is a rogue-like but you don't gain levels you instead rely on random item finding to advance. I do agree that the similarities are tentative.

[@xucthclu]

Correction, I just checked, the camera rotation can also be turned off in the currently available version of the game, I assume devs have not removed this option.

[@werotus]

There's a split opinion about the visuals here. I personally really like the look. It has a great ambient feeling and the way the vision system works is just really nice to look at.

[@LaithKhalil]

Yes it does change. You go to a lab, then an industrial area in the first version of this game.

[@perfectsuperchaos7]

A nice thing about games with "simplistic design" is the fact that anybody can Imagine what the monsters/protagonists look like, and are open to interpretation. most fanart of today's AAA games is similar. the creatures, if any are all defined, and fully explained, not that that's terrible either.

[@werotus]

You can't attack enemies from behind since they attack as you get a certain distance from them. You can't sneak up on them.

[@l3702]

I recommended you do a sieries of teleglitch because we can give you some tips every episode and you might attract more subs. Stay awesome!

[@zachkogames]

I had my headphones up and your voice scared me. You have frightened me sir. Prepare to duel!

[@TheMr1Boy]

Humble Bundle FTW!

[@solenum1]

Somewhat, its more diabolic like if I remember, it not fully random, but layouts and items/enemies/drops etc are random.

[@xucthclu]

The camera zoom can be turned on or off in the games options menu, I highly doubt the devs have removed this feature from the Die More edition.

[@shadowen1942]

Some points: - I believe anyone who got this on Desura is automatically upgraded to the Die More Edition. - Yes, the graphics are ugly and I think it would be nice if they were redone and also supported some higher resolutions in the process, but the game is still a lot of fun and challenging - If you are one who is susceptible to motion sickness, there should be options to turn off both the camera rotation and zooming in/zooming out when moving between rooms

[@Str8Faced]

I'm glad you took the time to agree with me.

[@Chromodar]

I guess the particular line you quoted makes most sense when taken in the context of Ryan's love for TBoI, context people unfamiliar with the channel will not have. I still maintain that this kind of phrasing is the exception rather than the rule though. But I'll keep an eye out for it in future videos.

[@xucthclu]

I mention to you, as I did to others, that the zoom and rotation can be turned off via the games option menu.

[@JOJOFACE]

Those that already own the game will be upgraded to the Die More Edition for free! Also, a mini LP would be lovely!

[@xucthclu]

Although not sneak up per se, I've had occassions in the game where I got pretty close to a monster before it became aware of my presence.

[@xucthclu]

I second you on that; although I can understand the many peoples desire for more fidelity graphics-wise, it is nice to have a game that you can play on a rather crappy laptop, such as mine.

[@yurisorcerer]

It's the only Roguelike/Topdown Shooter he (and most people, really) are familiar with. Heck, I can only name a single other example besides this myself (that being Shoot First). And honestly you're going to get more people knowing what BOI is than if he'd said "Berzerk crossed with NetHack" or something.

[@xucthclu]

I wouldn't consider the game horror, but it does surely have a survival element to it, as you have to manage your health, ammo and items rather carefully, as well as be cautious with your progression through rooms. Think of it as non-horror-survival-shooter type of thing.

[@Str8Faced]

They're both top down action rogue-likes. Pretty sure that makes them quite a bit alike.

[@GetaBock]

The graphic style reminds me of older PS1 games, like Vagrant Story for some reason. I think it's the "blocky-pixely"-thing Teleglitch has going on. Oh, and definitely let's play of this Northernlion!

[@gamesforjake1]

NL you have the life playing video games and making a living it must be great

[@Bleenderhead]

you walked right past the actual secret room. You could see the opposing wall in your map.

[@nickyjules10]

Yes, I am kinda sorry myself for debating in a KZbin comments section. I just don't appreciate how NL can sometimes inaccurately describe the games he's showing to "simplify" consumption for a wider audience...

[@xucthclu]

You haven't played through the whole game, the color themes do change as you progress through levels. The color theme has a lot to do with the locations where player finds himself in. The zooming could be turned off, as far as I remember, the rotating couldn't, which may be inconveniencing during combat, but otherwise, you get used to it. However, I have to completely disagree on the LoS shadowing, as I absolutely love that feature!

[@Bananadine]

surprised he never mentioned the several obvious connections with Doom: the premise, the weapons, the automap, the monsters, even the sight range maybe he's too young for that though but the developers sure didn't seem to be

[@junkmail2223]

He's referring to them both being rogue-like (or rogue-like-like if you're a purist) top down shooters.

[@Jukantos]

That Curse Room side-punch, pah. I have a great time with Curse Rooms and i enjoy hunting down guppy state.

[@stormfox81]

it's free in the gog store now!

[@squeek-]

It looks more like Realm of the Mad God with an oldschool Quake-style FPS blend.

[@mortelkill]

if you look carefully it as some interesting idea on the graphical style, there some kind of 3d effect with the shadow of the wall

[@xucthclu]

I have to agree on the aspect that teleglitch longplays usually bore and frustrate me more than other longplays I've watched.

[@JoComeau696]

On sale on Steam!

[@klusignolo54]

i don't get the complaints about graphics i played the game fine myself and the aesthetics fit the game perfectly.

[@tf2maniac123]

Ah Ryuka* Sorry for the annoyance, thanks for clearing it up like a gentleman! ^^

[@nickyjules10]

Yes, you are definitely correct; it just seems that from the tone of this video (as well as others) he's trying to tell us "This is a pretty neat game, and if you are itching for a alternative to TBoI (that is not quite as good), you might like Teleglitch" Though this may be his true opinion, there is really no need to suggest another title so heavily in a display video like this. That's all I was trying to say...

[@gamesforjake1]

this was in my top ten games of 2012 i would really suggest this game.

[@xucthclu]

The camera zoom and rotation can be individually turned off.

[@xucthclu]

The way it looks and the way it plays is not the same.

[@TheStann]

This game looks sweet. I'm gonna get it now.

[@InfinityToilet]

Northern lion you should make a lets play of this! So you can have multiple games to post on youtube!

[@MisterIkeJones]

I like how you shout when you begin a sentence and slowly get quieter.

[@nickyjules10]

I get that drawing parallels to other, arguably similar, forms of media helps to easily become more accustomed to new media. When you are, however, in NL's position, you should really try to make no comparisons to other specific titles because that is simply not fair to developers who are trying to put out new games. Hell, many modern gamers aren't familiar with the game "Rogue" but use the term "Rouge-like" without really knowing what they are saying.

[@GamezMaestro]

PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO A LETS PLAY OF THIS GAME NL, THIS WOULD BE SOOOOOO GOOOD!!! :D

[@rynjp]

An LP would be amazing

[@makemyday3495]

love the art of the game

[@LoverOfToast43]

Didn't you know? All games that have at least one rouge-like element are similar to BoI at least according to NL.

[@Bellolsom]

"A Focus More Towards Length" The Northernlion Story

[@GameplayForYou12]

Northernlion. Did you get a review copy of this? If not, how did you get it?

[@momyrandersson]

Congratulations :D

[@ScoutXdude]

Yeah! One of the first hundred!

[@ericosv12]

"Yeah i didn't mean it looks like Isaacs BUT YEAH YOU SEE ALOT OF PEOPLE WERE UNDER THE argument of i don't like the visuals, i think it adds to the... SO YOU MAKE MORE THAN AUTO PISTOLS!." Goes from talking to shouting in a milisecond and vice versa

[@skrublawd4879]

Erico Silva you try commentating over a game like this. the game is hard enough as it is.

[@Liindir]

Indeed!

[@l3702]

In the teliglitch demo I found a secret area In level 3 that is a big arena where you fight 3 big gunny mechanical and if you defeat them you will automatically be rewarded and sent to level 5. Has anyone seen it?

[@Y0G0FU]

i demand another Posion Mushroom season and a Teleglitch Lets Play :P

[@nickyjules10]

7:20 "I should point out that Teleglitch is not a game for everybody; As Isaac-y as it is, y'know, it lacks a certain part of Isaac's charm on a graphical level. And, y'know, I don't mean that in a 100% negative way..." I don't know about you, but from a completely unbiased perspective, that makes me want to go play TBoI: A similar game with "more charm" than this one. The way he words this is subliminally saying that there is a greater chance you will enjoy Isaac than you will Teleglitch.

[@FrogiMen13]

Say that there are secrets , Dont se it on first floor , The Northernlion story.

[@Chromodar]

I said "usually", not "always". You can't just look at a single game in a vacuum, especially if you're trying to determine if said game is worth buying, because a big part of determining that is comparing to what else you could get for the same cash. For example, if I completely ignored the existence of other MMS, Black Ops 2 would look like an innovative experience that should knock my socks off, not a seen-it-all-before snoozefest. You cannot produce this kind of content without comparisons.

[@SgtRalpha007]

Dude you should totally di a playtrough if this game!

[@ponyPharmacist]

It'd be painfull to watch how NL misses tens of secrets in every episode. Like walking past that one one the left like 20 times.

[@igorzasepsky9008]

It reminds me of an Atari game, it's wonderful. A type of game where you have to use your imagination a little bit. As long as the game-play is awesome the graphics shouldn't even be a big deal.

[@Laytonlink]

Huh,I always liked teleglitches art style,its basic but get its job done,much like the gameplay and world.

[@ken1334]

Out of This World!

[@moppytop99]

I would love to see a mini lp

[@aaronb8787]

Is it possible to knife without taking damage? It looks annoying that they force you to knife sometimes by limiting your ammo, but that you're not able to accomplish it without getting hit. I'm not saying the knife should be overpowered and just kill everything -I'd say a good balance would be if it doesn't do much damage, but I'd rather have to poke something 10 times and not get hit, then poke something once and take 2 or more damage.

[@ernestosastre7555]

Looks interesting to some extent!

[@LarssonTheBear]

Let's Play!

[@diablodevil2]

A Horror Isaac? But, eyeless babies, murderous mothers, etc. It was scary at first, anyway.

[@momyrandersson]

If being first makes him happy, then let him have that happiness ^.^

[@FoifurYT]

Paradox has actually said "Those who already own the original version of the game will receive the new version and pre-order bonuses for free"

[@TheRandomFish1122]

It's because of how the game gives you vision. I hate it. A lot of games are doing this where it blackens out areas not in your field of view.

[@NaturiaFreak1]

There are curse rooms ? - GO INTO THEM!!! :D

[@TheJeako]

would be amazing if you did a lets play of this game! :D

[@Wixxxus]

I demand a Let's Play of this. :I

[@kpjlflsknflksnflknsa]

So combat is continuously backing away whilst running in circles? Hardly seems riveting.

[@Colasubra]

Just started watching some of your videos after hearing about you time after time. One of the things I've realized in a lot of the games you play is that the game volume is way to low and you are very loud. One of my favorite things about Teleglitch is how nice the guns sound when fired, but with your audio so low you can barely hear them.

[@yurisorcerer]

that's why for awhile he wasn't calling them that (the whole "roguelike-like" thing, silly to say to be sure, but accurate), but people complained about that too. These kinds of semantic debates are unwinnable, because no one is ever satisfied. And honestly I sort of doubt NL himself is familiar with Rogue, not the most accessible game in the world. Mostly, I'm just sick of people bitching about stupid shit in the comments to NL's videos. I actually prefer the overused injokes.

[@Insanitydevil]

I wouldn't like to be red green colourblind playing this game, all the colours the game has would smush together into oblivion =P

[@LaithKhalil]

But the levels aren't even randomized. There has to be a limit somewhere. Think of the children!

[@MrNotsobadass]

His cat's name is "Ryuka", not "Luca". Interesting idea, but that mistake was annoying me.

[@BBcokeley]

was given this for free from the producers because i supported them during the green light phase

[@werotus]

Using the knife is really not as important as NL made it out to be. It's possible to do it correctly with practice. But really you're not supposed to attack large groups of enemies with a knife :P

[@soulr9729]

14:53 Okay, Dwight.
