Remnant 2 Is FUN Again After The Dark Horizon DLC (Full Review)

[@Vidaxer]

I do think you're underselling Dark Horizons overall narrative. Alepsis Taura is literally the manifested consciousness of a black hole so the overall narrative is about the meaning and value of life. Dark Horizon is a continuation of the overall Dryzyr storyline and a microcosm of the games plot in general.

[@darkspiro6467]

I agree

[@RealBunnyWalker]

Well said

[@gengarisnotinsmash...]

It's especially funny since he praised the One True King for being a continuation of the plot of the base game... Yet completely missed this. Heck, he even briefly mentioned having to wait a full day to get void heart. Do you know why? It's because the Custodian is using that time to steer Nerud into Alepsis Taura. You get the void heart from inside Alepsis Taura. Heck, you could argue that the Night weaver plot for Lomsom doesn't involve the One True King whatsoever, while both base game narratives for Nerud center around Alepsis Taura. While I mostly agree with the rest of the video, this is one point he just absolutely missed in the worst way possible.

[@serve_xt4298]

Well, you completely missed his point. The story can be as interesting as you want but is not reflected on the story progression, you just see a black thing shit talking you, making everything malfunction and then gets it's ass whooped. That's basically his point, even on the base stories of n'erud you could see through progression how they were so obsesed with the black hole, what they were planning and how it ended. You could argue "Ah, you just didn't understand", well yeah but being able to transmit a good argument is a storytelling skill.

[@Vidaxer]

I do understand his point, I simply disagree. Our fight with Alepsis Taura is a clash of ideology. In both of our conversations with Alepsis Taura it attempts to convince us that our transient nature is nothing compared to its all consuming existence. Us defeating it is in a way proving that life has inherent value.

[@saintariser8507]

I really couldn't disagree more with the final boss take. I feel like your criticism of "Why am I here doing what I'm doing" is almost made null by the self report that you don't listen to the lore. If you do, or even paid attention during the none DLC areas, then the fight is the most hyped fight in the entire game without question. It's THE black hole, THE black hole that the entire area non DLC and DLC revolves around. You not understanding that is not a negative against the DLC at all

[@seandearinger3901]

​@@ZeroRulz0 this is a lie comment. Go troll somewhere else. Bro has never made a video on getting that. 0 basis for your statement here. Get off KZbin honestly.

[@rt10hammer63]

He probably didn't even know what N'Erud is and why it is near a black hole

[@daveuerk4030]

Hehe he sounds like me.

[@SplarcieRS]

lore =/= joy | as a melee build with a fire rate build saved. the bosses are not as much fun. simple as that. Was alepsis taura difficult? sure, it took like 3 tries from 0 info to beat her. So, no not really actually. Lydusa isn't "difficult" either, in comparison to the One True King they are though. And they force you to fight ranged. The DLC's are still fun but they could've been more fun. They could've made it more approachable with more builds. Even understanding the lore and the DLC, I'd rather just roll through boss rush and hope that I don't get the latest two DLC bosses in it. OTK is much easier in regards of a world boss + you can have real build variety. Even the non dlc world bosses allow variety for close or far range builds. Lydusa and Alepsis Taura do not. Also yeah lore is cool but reading lore for "joy" is essentially saying you watch movies just so you can be happy reading the subtitles

[@saintariser8507]

​@@SplarcieRS I never said that reading the lore brought me Joy lmao, what are you even on. I said that you don't get to criticize the lore if you yourself say you don't care about it and didn't pay any attention to it. Simple as.

[@noodlethenerdle]

"The combat drone is bad" Me who uses the melee speed buff and life steal build swinging so fast my characters arm flies off like a pinwheel: DIGGY HOLE!

[@Krems_]

My favorite item interaction right now (hopefully it doesn’t get patched if it’s a glitch) is with DMG and the ring. I call it DMG storage. that lets you cancel charge melees with a dodge. It lets you store your charge. You can do it sometimes in coop if the connection isn’t that great if you dodge right after doing the first charge.

[@tracemartin369]

The issue with the prism system is you spend so much time grinding to get your prism perfect, but once it’s good then you’ve exhausted the rest of the games content. There’s nothing to use your perfect prism on. And even if there is more you can do, you’ll want to switch prisms so you don’t waste xp on a finished prism

[@rocketjar6091]

I think your perspective is very fair. I just know that when I tend to play this game, I typically make a new character using a different starting class to replay the game and see what I get by the end. It may not be the same way that everyone plays the game, but it is the way I have fun with the new content.

[@thorveim1174]

just the name of the final boss tells me a lok: the people of N'erud went to Alepsis Taura in their quest for sentient life in a barren universe, as the black hole seemes like it was designed instead of being fully natural... and with Alepsis itself bieng now revealed to be an entity of its own, guess they found what they were looking for... but now HOW they were looking for it. And may also be an extra reason why Tal Ratha wanted to nope out of here

[@alexandrunechifor1878]

Nice video. To be fair, I really liked the second DLC. The build diversity may have suffered, sure, but I enjoyed seeing Gunfire Games have a more interesting lore. The boss fights seemed ok to me and overall, I think it deserves a bit more justice. But overall, still one of the best games I played

[@adamarmstrong5780]

Totally agree with everything you said.

[@battlecarrier]

36:56 gotta love the drone catching your arrows for you.

[@samaron8970]

The one thing I especually disagree with is the idea that Alepsis-Taura is lacking buildup. You do realise the boss IS the black hole that N-erud went into, you see it perpetually in the skybox of the other two versions of N'erud and it's kind of the point of the other two storylines. We see more of Alepsis-Taura before it shows up than we ever did of The One True King, and we don't actually kill it at the end, just break its hold on N'erud. I agree that we should have learned more about it and some of its dialogue isn't especually effective, but buildup is not something it lacks. Also I think the boss fight is amazing until the final phase where for some reason Gunfire decides to callback to Nightmare (Aka the final, and worst boss of Remnant 1)

[@SheenShots]

Yes I agree with what you are saying. The cool part is you are fighting a blackhole. But everything else around that is lacking. We learn nothing about it, we aren't given any good reason for killing it or not killing it. We don't even know what happens to nerud after this at least not truly. And yes the final boss fight as awesome until that part where oh hey nothing reaches the boss now. Very silly idea there.

[@samaron8970]

@SheenShots We can learn a little about it, like how it gained sentience by absorbing the Drazyr and is stuck without purpose in an empty universe. As for the story, I think N'erud's story has a very strong theme, the first two are all about helping the Custodian return N'erud to Alepsis Taura in a desperate gambit to save the Drazyr, then after that fails, he asks you to defeat Alepsis-Taura hoping it'll save the Drazyr even though there's nothing to suggest it would, and after you do... there's only silence. And the Custodian finally realises that all its been doing is struggling in vein to save something that's already lost, and he finally gives up and leaved N'erud to its silence. The whole theme is just about desperation and denial, and the story finally ends with the acceptance that what was lost can never be regained. It was desperation and obession that led the Drazyr into Alepsis Taura, and it was desperation and obession that drove the Custodian even into destroying the only hopes N'erud may have had in Tal Ratha and Alepsis Taura. It ends on a really sombre note that's quite powerful and thematic, however it does leave the player feeling empty and like we got the bad ending. Honestly I think it'd be an appropriate way to end the DLC, it just isn't a satisfying way to end Remnant 2 as a whole, being the final DLC really hurt it in that reguard.

[@Kmonroe3]

Do you have plans to revisit the tier lists with the changes and additions? I know more changes are on the horizon

[@kranolive]

the developers im pretty sure said that the solution to the genesis bow has not been figured out and what people currently are doing is just a work around.

[@meathir4921]

We figured it out now, it involved overflow integers hinted by a couple of the new items.

[@RaphaelDeppe-ey5fr]

Now that you fought every boss can you rank the bosses in a video ?

[@XmrcaptainbobX]

I completly agree. As someone with over 1k hours that has several fully slotted builds with max prism that all are capable of soloing apoc and bursting bosses with ease...build diversity is annoying especiallly with dmg/tank rings over utility. The bosses void alot of mods one i hate being the shockwave as its a good low dmg mod made useless in most fights. The story was bad. The quest are awful overall and i say this as someone with all in game tings almost where the dlc items i specifically tried to get i failed and despite many boss rush ive yet to unlock them because of the chore of repitition. Specifically the custodian ring and the other ring behind stealth door (awful quest designs for god awful rng systems). It all is a big time waste especially prisms and i will state, ive played both remnnat 1 and 2 faithfully with complaints but this dlc under prisms made me say fck it and use cheat engine. It is a pure waste of time and as always half of the stuff doesnt work or is outright useless. All that said this game is one of the best in its genre and the dlc aesthethic is great where even seeing it makes me want to play it again. Although the focus is too far on discord people which frankly dont even know wth they are talking about when ut comes to mechanics so its even more annoying the game is geared to nonsense.debates or balance like nefing the vravity gun while every discord build abuses big bang and enc. None of that is even as strong as other options.

[@AtomisateurCosmic]

I just started m'y first game in nightmare difficulty for soulslike difficulty vibe as handler, it's really good, i really need to learn boss patern and manage to kill main boss After 5/10 try it's exactly the good difficulty i needed. I remember playing the first one like that and love it too, but also in survivor, game was so Bad like that...

It’s just a matter of replacing one file in the save folder. I know there are updated ones for the DLC’s also.

[@ahairylobster8524]

I agree with most things but I liked the second dlc overall, some bosses design being the worst offender but if you asked me the design of the third boss is awful PRISM, I get thematically but just looking at it it kills my hype for the fight. and then boss rush to survival, in my honest opinion boss rush is so tacked on and an after thought there barely any real thought into what you go for in your upgrades where survival you had to make do with quite a few different choices idunno survival just felt so much more fleshed out, although I get why you wouldn't like the timer that is fair but the mode itself how enemies spawn the exp gain everything would have had to change and I quite enjoyed it comparatively to how same-y boss rush feels

[@blazing_pyro67]

If anyone has the prime time legendary bonus please do yourself a favor and try out Medic/Warden with a misty step build and Arcon/warden with a mod spam build you won't regret it I promise! 🔥 I can't wait to get done with the last 4 god rolls on my prisms so I can play around with the legendary bonuses more! I am just finishing the leveling on my 3rd Godroll prism with 4 fusions then I am going to start working on my 4th prism. Can't wait till they make the prism grind much quicker because it's such a drag right now. I have gotten very lucky with my prisms and have yet to work on a prism and not get 4 fusions, a few days ago I really thought this was going to be the prism I didn't get a Godroll on but it turned out I got the final 2 fragments needed to get the God roll. For anyone curious the 1st prism I got exactly what I wanted 1st which was Dark Omen aka misty step allowing me to use all 4 ring slots and any amulet and still have a misty step dodge. My 2nd one I got another one I was really wanting to play with which is prime time aka both archetypes prime perk being active which has so many new builds that are now possible! For this prism it's all built around mods and skills so I am really hoping for 50% skill cooldown but if 50% mod cooldown comes up I will happily take that instead.

[@clevergoblin1714]

"Remnant 2 is fun again" and 12 days later they fucked that.

[@SheenShots]

Nerf enough stuff and leave enough bugs in the game and it literally takes one change to screw everything up. Love this game but what the literally heck is happening rn.

[@clevergoblin1714]

@SheenShots Maybe they're doing what Space Marine 2 did recently. Make the game not functional and nerf things for no reason, then give proper buffs and fixes after enough time passes so they can get some more good publicity. That's the only thing that remotely makes sense why they'd nerf the game at this point when there's not going to be more content releasing..

[@Collin93387]

I honestly thought the new area was god awful lmfao. But that's my only complaint. Items and weapons are pretty cool, especially the repair tool. Since this is supposedly the last dlc, would've been nice if they made the location the final location from the campaign, just in a different spot within it. Fight more corrupt type enemies, have unique "darker" armor and weapons. Maybe even a goofy boss fight where you fight two venoms at once. Would've been way better than more fart gas land lmfao.

[@adamarmstrong5780]

Same. Hated the wind columns and hang glider

[@Ccubed92]

Same this was the worst dlc they made in my opinion. Everything looked the same and repetitive flying

[@Ccubed92]

For me the new dlc was the worse one design wise and way more filler and boring compared to the last dlcs by far. The prism systems also came way to late in the games life cycle. Should have been in at the beginning. But this is definitely one of my favorite games i ever played.

[@IlVostroNarratore]

It's kinda stupid to say you didnt like the final boss story when you admit you skip through the lore. It's fine to like the build crafting and ignore the story in a game, but when you make that choice, it should be obvious any take you have on things like bosses stories is pretty much null

[@SheenShots]

Why do you think I brought it up? Its not stupid, it honesty. Now you know the main reason for me not taking a liking to that aspect and can just move on. I don't have to pay attention to every single lore detail if I don't want to as a player. But if I don't I need to tell the viewer so they know where I am coming from. By your mindset I should have just lied and not mentioned I didn't pay attention "MUCH" to lore. Or left if out of the video. Which are both bad ideas and impossible to do in a review. Also I clearly explained that I didn't pay much attention to lore through the other parts of the game either and still knew every part of the 1st DLCs. Everyone seems to leave that part out intentionally. Good story telling doesn't require a players full focus. Good storytelling is derived from the environment, boss design, dungeons, and puzzles. Which the 3rd DLC does none of. Nothing in that part of the game reveal's any information about the blackhole at all.
