The fact that he still uploads these kinds of videos makes me indescribably happy

[@epikpanstan69]

me to ive watched this guy since the start pretty much

[@ruinfox4108]

im really glad he hasnt quit youtube to go twitch full time, i actually dont watch any of his stream i wait for them to be uploaded to youtube and i watch these videos too, so im very glad. even though his views went from like the millions to only a couple thousand

[@ۥٴٴٴٴۥۥٴٴٴٴۥ]

@@epikpanstan69 Yeah same, I watched this guy ever since he made those GTA V videos in 2013-2014. Good old youtube times I wish I can get back. :(

[@ShEsHy]

​@@ruinfox4108 Streaming has gone to shit, really. It used to be just people talking while doing stuff, but now it's nothing but constant interruptions, either due to donation alerts, or the streamer thanking for donations. To me, it feels like it's gotten to where it's literally worse than ads, and is why I stopped watching all streamers years ago.

[@metadata4255]

Eh it feels like he got the bag and gave up tbh

[@plebastian2300]

Dan's 'Poultry in Motion' joke at 15:45 just reminds me why I've never missed a video for a decade now.

[@SentinalSlice]

That’s better than me. I’m on and off for several years now.

[@kieranwalsh2058]

@@SentinalSlice Likewise. No idea why I stop watching his videos but I always love coming back

[@connorproudfoot8746]

It's one of the best jokes he has ever made, and it was completely on the spot. Dan is too good.

[@PPGIRL420]

Keep in mind Dan probably has a killer rig

[@seantaggart7382]

@@Axius27 yep

[@TexasKP]

@@PPGIRL420 He has a killer rig, but how would that not destroy an i15 20th gen, an RTX 9000, and 300gb of RAM? Developers are getting INSANE

[@TheMentalgen]

This game calculates a majority of things on the GPU. Even things like AI. GPUs are really fast at simple calculations. And since the AI are pretty simple you can get really high numbers. It also makes eeextensive use of instanced rendering. Where many of the same models are rendered as one to save performance. It's all stuff that's been possible for years but not done by anyone.

MacArthur Moment

[@Umbrellie_]

I just wanna take a moment to appreciate how you don't hear the sound of the nukes til the shockwave actually reaches the camera. So many games and movies and stuff nowadays seem to forget that sound is slower than light, so it's always a good detail to see

[@PelleKuipers]

Dude pools of blood when many men die. Blast waves with explosions. Water colour purple when mixed with blood. So many cool details.

[@TheNexan_]

As soon as he said "1 million" I added it to my wishlist. Will I ever have a rig powerful enough? Unlikely. Do I care? Only a little

[@mannmctrash]

Honestly this game seems remarkably well optomised, you might not need a rig as powerful as you think.

[@hotinplaya]

@@mannmctrash yup. runs pretty decent on my 1050ti

[@smokinwoodz]

this shit's like black friday, theres people waiting in the premiere 15 hours before it actually starts, like 30 souls just chillin.. waiting 15 hours for this thing to start.. wild.

[@Amy-hz4df]

gonna need a part 2 to this, maybe even a part 3

[@Mystical_Ace]

When I saw the bodies flying through the air via a nuke in slow motion, that is the key moment when I knew that I had to buy this game

[@loganfisher3138]

Imagine if this dev team and the Teardown dev team worked together and made UEBS3 with destructable terrain.

[@midnight40007]

that wouldnt work, teardown is a game surrounded about voxels, but uebs have realistically modeled characters you cant put voxel destruction in a game without voxels lmao

[@JhenMaster]

This game's optimization hack is only applicable to millions of entities with a makeup that is similar and simple with a generally united function.

[@loganfisher3138]

To those replying: Obviously this would then necessitate UEBS3 to be voxel based. Duh.

[@paulaccuardi9071]

God would never allow anything that good to exist while I’m in the world.

[@destinpryor623]

so I haven't watched dan in about 4 years. So coming back and hearing the old intro from years before has made me unbelievably happy.

[@avocatos6421]

Whaaa? You're still around? Dude, I watched you almost religiously when I was 14-15.. I'm 23 now.. and I still love your content! How nostalgic it is to hear your voice. Daniel, please continue making these sort of videos! You were how I found new video games to play!

[@nagol8003]

He streams on twitch as well:)

[@mannmctrash]

He's written books! The domain of the Nerdcubed is going worldwide!

[@nagol8003]

@@mannmctrash also true

[@Nesetroll]

I've heard that all the units are actually calculated properly. Normally, these kinds of games will approximate what would happen whenever the camera is turned away to keep going, but the mad tech wizards behind this game are using the GPU to do a lot of the heavy lifting. It's madness, I tells you!

[@Hazlius]

I fuckin miss these videos so fuckin much, love that Dan still makes them every once in a while

[@dueinuremom5082]

Please make more videos like this. The gaming videos were a solid part of my childhood.

[@Linosek279]

9:20 “When I said our men shall blot out the sun, this isn’t what I had in mind”

[@nahco3994]

Every time I see footage of this game I get more convinced that the whole thing was made as an offering in honour of the Chaos God Khorne.

[@drskelebone]

I love these kinds of videos, the "Dan shows off an amazingly cool game, and does it the best possible way" kind. I wish I had a computer that could render that.

[@sebbes333]

11:30 "Sir! We are surrounded! What shall we do?" "Excellent! Then we may attack in ANY direction!" ;D

[@Reijack]

"I'm digging through chicken guts to find Tesla!" is not a sentence I thought I would hear today

[@scaryjello1212]

the Cleopatra POV from the pyramid looking down at giant chickens for as far as the eye can see gives off major Attack on Titan vibes.

[@Stramantha]

This is like all the deceptive footage from those mobile RTS games, but actually as advertised. Someone definitely sold their soul to make this work.

[@VinylSnapz]

This is how I imagined the stickmen wars I would draw in my textbooks at school

[@phenomanII]

Before I clicked on the video I was thinking: "What could a sequel possibly add or improve to be worth it?" *wow* Respect to everyone that worked on this thing. The scale is absolutely insane, especially considering the amount of time before the original and between it and this.

[@robwright1286]

It's so mad to think I'm 19 and I literally grew up w this legend, ik that's not old but damn this guy was my childhood aha the nostalgia

[@AllEliteSports2]

Cant wait Dan cant wait been watching All your old video’s lately!

[@davwalsr]

KZbin compression makes this video just *that* much more special

[@DodgeJohnson1]

So what you're telling me is that the person who wins in a fight between 2 sides is 'whoever the guy with the nuke decides is the winner' And you know what that makes sense

[@jennietsai1260]

Man, I just wish Dan did one battle where he didn't interfere with it all. Especially one like the tanks v orcs. The thing about having ranged units fight melee units is that the ranged units are going to have an advantage in the beginning, when they're able to combine all their firepower, but as soon as they start taking losses, their ability to output damage is gonna start to go down, and go down quickly. The kills the melee units are gonna get is gonna increase exponentially. It's actually pretty interesting from a game theory aspect

[@atlantian1242]

That's something I was thinking, especially when it turned into, who will win: these guys, or these others where I delete half their troops with Nukes or force them to abandon their strategies?

[@spartan117zm]

Was wishing for that as well honestly.

[@wumbosaurus9121]

Pfff hahaha, I learned long ago that Dan is not the man to watch if you want that sort of thing, he gets frustratingly bored if things go on for too long.

[@blackoutlol2857]

I love that you’re still making these same videos no matter what year or what game they’re always great I know you probably won’t see this but thanks having started making stuff myself I now understand just how hard it really is to upload this much 👍

[@DuckOnASkateboard]

This showed up on my home page, I haven't seen a video from NerdCubed in ages. I couldn't be happier that I have rediscovered you

Wait, I haven't watched dan in forever.. "Hello Procrastinators" is back? Neat.

[@nothing6036]

My favourite thing about Dan is that he can showcase literally any game bad or good, and always make it interesting. It’s a talent to make any game seem interesting enough to make me want to see a never-ending series on it. Thank you over a decade of entertainment.

[@Sir_Uncle_Ned]

This is what happens when you use the power of the modern GPU properly. Turns out it's good for more than just rendering pretty graphics

[@rocket4320]

Who completely forgot that this was your youtube channel way back then 6+ years ago and got this on your recommended and now you wanna live back memories and want to watch him again.

Everyone please, open a second KZbin tab in your browser and find Beethoven's "Ode an die Freude." Now synch up the 8:45 nuke explosion with the climax of the song and enjoy.

They released a 2nd one? Awesome.

[@ShadowWolfe]

The only thing I wish Matt did was mention a timestamp, tone, or time to skip ahead to, for avoidance of the flash things, but since it's relatively inconsistent, it kinda makes sense. Hopefully flash avoidences can be a feature for Sponsorblock for those that use it.

A part of me really wants to know whether the Tesla&Cleopatra vs. 40000 Chicken fight was winnable if you take control of the AI and choose to hold the choke points at the pyramids. Maybe split it so there's 50 of each at each entrance, Tesla in the front line and Cleo at range, or put each group at a different gate and see if one line breaks before the other.
