[@blakethesnake6686]

The game being harder is probably because Alex uses a fake martial art, Velvet Fu which he only saw 1 tape of it on repeat. Brad has been training and teaching Armstrong Style for most of his entire life.

[@zergscaper4714]

@Bradley Harrison i like to think that as the chapters go on, Alex's style becomes a lot more pragmatic and reserved - that can already be seen with the shift from an advancing stance in his twentys to his receding stance of middle age. maybe something like sweeping the feet of enemies with a kick instead of the goat hoove maneuver. call it "burlap fu," or something

[@alperenakdas3479]

idk man the enemies they fought are legit dangerous ones like joy mutant chaz a warlord that can walk into the walls Silvester de Maistre and ofc cola can with hitler moustache

[@blakethesnake6686]

@@alperenakdas3479 Chaz was immobile, Silvester was a minor warlord who only knows basic fighting moves and relies on magic (which is defeated by a bottle) and the only reason Arnold is relatively hard is because he's armed and knows an actual martial art instead of making stuff up

[@Cosplaybuddygiraffes]

Way too late for this party but now that I’m completely invested in this series and fangame, I found a really neat detail regarding the flashback sequence! So in the present day, Alex is exactly like Brad, right? Martial artist, uses WASD combos, and uses the SP system for special moves. But during the flashback, Alex is using TP for his moves. It could be a subtle detail in that Alex’ moves aren’t connecting because he’s a novice using a very complex fighting style, (his aunt gave him the Grandmaster tape), so he’s not following the style correctly. Only once he’s old and forced to fight does he actually connect his moves and re-hone his skills. Again that’s a detail that seems like something straight out of LISA, using the gameplay itself to intricately tell a story. Absolutely love it!

[@richardgibson8403]

Cosplaybuddygiraffes HOLY SHIT

[@pedroaugustoqueirozlopesde3052]

Nice, but it's universally agreed (IIRC even by the developer in the Discord channel) that Alex's moves couldn't connect due to the other guy actually being a competent martial artist, while Alex is cocky and uses a bullshit style. This game contrasts to the original LISA in that it's about lame people fighting lame people, not strong competent survivors fighting actual treats. Even the joy mutants are softballs compared to the Painful.

[@bowsmed]

I think the main reason Alex was missing in the flashback like that is also mostly because of the opponent's fighting style. He uses an Aikido stance, Aikido being a martial art focused around counters, joint locks, and essentially using your opponents weaknesses against themselves to throw them around. It's a great defence around Alex's striking focused moves, redirecting his attacks and using them to throw him to the ground, ending the match. It's not established what kind of tournament it is, I assume MMA, I'm not familiar with rules of things like this, but I imagine using something that isn't Kung Fu in a Kung Fu match is probably a no no and such. I don't think it's considered an illegal move here or else he would have been disqualified or something, so Alex really did lose for simply not being good enough, or cheating if you choose the groin kick.

[@elnegromatapacos162]

If we're doing comment necro, I'll just point out as a member of the Pointless community that Alex's switch to an SP-based combo style has more to do with the fact that SP is more defensive while TP incentivizes dealing and taking damage and is thus more aggressive. Either due to being old, or due to being humbled by his big fight against Stan Curien, Alex switched his entire approach to his fighting style.

[@celltrark7161]

Poop

[@Firguy]

Kudos on pronouncing Olathe correctly. EDIT: The flags of the German Democratic Republic and Soviet Union can be seen in the background of the martial arts tournament which sets this flashback anywhere from 197X to 1990. Also, I don't think Alex really has what you'd call "regular eyes," he's got a thousand-yard Stanley Kubrick stare (while Joel has a Jim Croce moustache).

[@robinmattheussen2395]

The DDR was created in 1949 I think so more like 195X to 1990.

[@Firguy]

@@robinmattheussen2395 Martial Arts really came into the popular consciousness in the 70's with the release of Enter the Dragon in theaters and I would take it that Alex became enamored with them by watching Kung Fu movies so it's most likely that the flashback sequence where he gets DQ'd at the tournament takes place during the late 80's.

[@bucketts6148]

Oh so it’s pronounced “Olayth-a”

[@BEANSBEANSBEANS404]

I'm not really sure about the thousand-yard stare with Alex Whenever you face forward, he's not looking directly at the camera, and it comes off as awkward rather than per say Brad's sprite, which never even shows his eyes It's just my two cents: Alex has been through some shit, goes through some shit, but in the end, he can redeem himself.

[@WorthlessWinner]

starting out as trash and discovering hope is a much more traditional story

[@nathanielhanlon1083]

Here's whats up in the bullets, I know you corected yourself in a later video, but here: Joel has the most powerful kind of gun in Olathe, and the bullets are VERY rare. with it, It's like a one-shot wonder, which is his class. He is almost garanteed a kill. Bullets for the gun are rare possibly due to the bullets being used excessively in the beginning, only to run out in a month or so and making the bullets EXTREMELY. RARE. This is why he only tried to use the gun once in the whole of chapter one.

[@UncleGoober]

lisa the pointless is incredible. the amount of work that was put into this fangame is unreal. the atmosphere in this game is like no other. the horror elements, the disturbing character designs, the blood and grime everywhere you look and the mystery of the infinity franchise. its all just so great. for those that think the game has been abandoned, from what it looks like ed is still working on it but chapter 2 has been delayed bc he's working on a huge remake of chapter 1 with a new intro sequence, mechanics and updated spritework. it looks incredible and i cant wait to play it

[@kultiplexify]

The game is very well made and gives back the feeling of LISA games perfectly. The fact that you have to choose your battles carefully also makes sense, neither Alex nor Joel are joy addicts (?) so it would make sense that they are not killing machines like Brad or Buddy. Story and gameplay integration was one of the best things LISA had to offer and this fangame follows that very well. The music also fits extremely well. I also really liked Joel's combat mechanics: original and related to the character which is also very LISA like. Obviously it requires some bug fixes and the difficulty should be tweaked so that players can explore all the content. There's a LOT of work put into this and it shows, so it would make sense to let people explore everything. I honestly think this could be made official since it doesn't interfere with the original canon (as far as I know). Great stuff I really hope this get developed further, if this was just a demo imagine what a full game would look like.

[@j4mbsy]

Alex and joel arent joy addicts but georgy is after getting to the desert he gets a joy withdrawl also he leaves the hotel room with the guy that gives you joy so that may sugest that he bought joy from him

IMO the gameplay would benefit greatly if Alex didnt have such high SP cost to his techniques, you waste too many turns recovering your SP which feels really unfair when your enemies rarely ever have to waste turns in such way and to add insult to injury the recovery stances have negative side effects so you are not just wasting your turn to make yourself useful again you are also effectively drawing yourself closer to defeat, its just too much

[@j4mbsy]

But you can decrease SP cost by equping chamions belt which is found in mud village and by using twisted stance it also recovers almost all SP for 150 hp and 50 if alex is already twisted thats a lot

I finally finished Lisa the Pointless after 5 years of being put off by the absurd difficulty. Accidentally fell off a plateau? Well I hope you enjoy doing the last five ball-busting fights all over again. Gameplay aside, I felt like Pointless is a very different piece stylistically when compared to Painful. The spritework is far more detailed, and that detail is used to make everything grimy as all hell. It honestly feels much more dismal and hopeless compared to Painful's frequent gags and whimsical moments. And that's another part of what makes it hard to get through, there's no break from the misery. Even the "funny" parts come across as despressing. In the end though, I'm glad to have finally finished the game. Although I nearly had a stroke from that one mutant who killed me with only 10 HP left.

It's too late to tell you, but i'm leaving this there for anyone else who stops by. It tries for emotion, but so far feels a lot less meaningful then painful or joyful.

[@thegreengribbler]

i know i'm three years too late but it's definitely less emotionally investing and the stakes are considerably lower. in painful you're trying to protect the last chance humanity has, sacrificing everything you have just to do that for example, but in pointless you're just some guy trying to find somewhere that's not as terrible as everywhere else and sometimes you risk your life. the only really tragic thing that happens to alex is the martial arts tourney. while definitely relatable, it's not as crushing to the player as say brad's death in painful or the fight with brad in joyful, and i feel this is a very good example as to how emotional pointless's story so far is

Hey nitro, a bit of fun fact, but I have the full ost of Lisa, and the song at 7:25 was actually composed by austin, before being scrapped in the final product. If you want specifics on the song, it's: Hernandez Ocean

[@greasemonkey6359]

There was this abominably powerful combo that made the game super easy for me. Anaconda Virtue was a pushover in my experience, and if I remember correctly, it's Goat Kick + Hoof.

[@OneColdRepublican]

That's a pretty god damn good demo if it already feels like a complete, or close to complete, fan game. Can't wait for the final finished product! Are you going to give that a review once it's out(after playing plentiful of hours into it of course)?

[@Ikcatcher]

How coincidental that this came out along with Videogamedunkey playing Lisa as well

[@enzo.6955]

WE BETTER GET A DIFINATIVE EDITION VIDEO

[@sergiomendoza251]

Or Lisa the fool in the future

[@DeCubei]

Nitro rad said he stopped making Lisa fangame reviews sadly so i dont know if that would ever happen

[@pundemon9659]

holy shit dude your acting during that bit about Joel's one unusable bullet is fuckin incredible. I can't stop thinking about Joel acting just like that.

[@Dekkuden]

i love this channel keep it up man :D

[@simonwoods2169]

08:32 It's kinda strange ad surreal to see a post-apocalyptic game with a deuteragonist whose name is Joel Miller way long before The Last of Us part 2. He even use a revolver as a weapon of choice.

[@Kopalex23]

I must say, the buff bluffs with the bullet are quite neat and clever.

[@JohnnyCasey]

2:29 - You'd know one's never fired any firearm when he puts his index finger to the trigger all the time.

[@deeznuts-kw6yv]

I think that the bullet that Joel wanted to find was maybe a .38 special or even 50 BMG! I dunno

[@cerebraxis607]

Man I really love the Lisa series

[@davidvelez9124]

when you thought your pain of lisa was over but you realize it has just begun

[@benzur3503]

The difficulty is incredible, not (only)because I'm a masochist. The pointless finally made me see value in damageless debuffs that HAVE to be used in order to defeat some of the unforgiving enemies. Gives a dark souls satisfaction of hard to grasp but with great fair flow once you find the method.

[@bowsmed]

On one hand, I hope that for later parts it happens that they happen to make the perfect bullets to work in Joel's gun, allowing him to do some damage outside bottles, as I imagine it'll get rather difficult as it goes on, but on the other hand, I do really like the system as it is, and I do still see a lot of potential in keeping it to one bullet, lots of possible psych-out moves that could be even better than just shooting. I imagine they'd probably go with the latter and keep one bullet, but I'm happy either way, I can't wait for the other parts to come out regardless!

[@arrowtongue]

My first playthrough I thought the game was too hard, and I used a similar strat to you, but on my second I started to LOVE the gameplay.

[@insomniacdev5916]

I was just watching your review of Lisa the Joyful when this was uploaded,haha.

[@miaoumint5288]

I don't remember being able to save everywhere in Lisa the painful. I thought that was the point. The sacrifices were far from the saves so it was a chore to reset

[@yoyhue1678]

good stuff, nitro, glad I subscribed!

[@nancyfurman7682]

hi nitrorad great video I really enjoyed it keep up the good work

[@mediawatcher9225]

I can't wait for the full release, I love Lisa and I want to see an expansion of the world, there is so much potential

[@ridleyrage5283]

Ive been saying it for years, fans should make direct sequels, especially if they care this much about em. I'm still waiting on an amazing fanmade MMX9

[@MrFlame133]

Wouldn't it be the 4th chapter because Lisa: The First, Lisa: The Painful, and Lisa the Joyful?

[@saintatticus]

I wanna see you play Vib Ribbon, whether it's in a stream or as a review. I've had strong vibes from the game for a while, plus I noticed you had been listening to one of the songs on the OST ; ]

[@notoverwatch6991]

Oh, shit, I thought this was a review describing the original game.

[@Awsomface]

LISA sign me the FUCK up

[@gnardhole3605]

I hope to god this becomes official.

[@tombaker3731]

Man, thanks for telling me about this fan game. After LISA: The Hintful fell through, I just abandoned the hope for a LISA fan game to come out, but this looks great. I just hope they're able to get a Mac version out eventually.
