Best Friends Play Pyre (Part 1/2)

What's this? A video published on the same day of the release date of the presented game? HOW??

[@razrPAIN]

I cannot articulate how much I love Jodariel's design and character.

[@theessenceofawesome1]

"Unfortunate that sitting and reading is not super good LP" raise your hands if you're happy to listen to pat and woolie read through about 20 hours of Pyre

[@DragonfameDracas]

Pat: I got super kicked out of society. I thought you left society by choice? HAVE YOU BEEN LYING TO US PAT!?

[@SuperZergMan]

Pat: "Shut up! It was mutual!"

[@paizotic]

Pat: "I let myself out, but they held the door open for me on the way."

[@WattieWasTaken]

No way, Pat would never lie.

[@Richardlikespies]

You forget about his stand [ C R A Z Y T A L K] so technically it was by choice

[@Vashu627]

Society told him he was fired, but then he was all like; "You can't fire me, I quit!" and then silently whispered "...you didn't win... you didn't win..."

[@MantraMan2077]

You know how I know it's a great super power? My first thought after learning about it is "This would make an amazing stand." Making yourself the only literate person is a good one.

[@klinitclarify]

holy shit

[@ObsidianKnight90]

Cool, but imagine the Stand's power was instead making all text seem like confusing or contradictory information, you know... [Crazy Talk].

[@elgordito4566]

Adrian The Vulture But what good with this power be in a world created by people who are illiterate?

[@Fjarhultian]

But then Bruce Wayne fights you on the Millennium Tower when he notices that the newspaper is garbled.

[@GuyUWishUWere]

"she's got those red eyes. I don't know if we can trust her" Careful Woolie. This game already revolves around a weird Biltzball-esque sport. Are you sure you want to start judging people by their stupid anime eyes?

[@TAMAMO-VIRUS]

I bet she is from a race of Al-Bhed like people.

[@WakkaMadeInYevon]

Better not be

[@MantraMan2077]

Woolie: "Reading is hard sometimes." HE ADMITTED IT! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN HE ADMITTED IT! HE *_IS_* ILLITERATE!

[@TheFuryHasCome]

Adrian The Vulture Considering he learned his lefts and rights at a late age, I wouldn't put it past him.

[@TheVolginator]

spencerj5870 but his 20/20 vision

[@CyricZ]

God, remember that Pyre match where Woolie killed that guy?

[@DragonfameDracas]

It was his own fault. He wouldn't give him the orb.

[@oivi3iv635]

Hypno-Thorax wouldn't give him that Pie*

[@cease25]

CyricZ the guy had it coming.

[@romankushniriuk1504]

CyricZ That Pie-er match?

[@jerrymcghoulberry355]

In official best friends more how many people has Woolie killed?

[@Caidezes]

This game is so good. Not a fan of sports games, but this is unique enough to work.

[@louiesalmon3932]

Aeiou Mnjwpykt I think the key is that only one character moves at a time, which emphasizes your skill at controlling the character more than anything. Also that there are a LOT of little moves and tricks your character can do that aren't immediately clear.

[@GanguroKonata]

Oh, Pat doesn't like Transistor? And somehow he wants us to believe he has good taste

[@joekewl7539]

We now return to Pat: Lord of Cinder.

[@tiptaphooves]

I can't fucking believe this sports ball game has social links

[@magicrectangleEnt]

this is hardly a sportsball game. it's more like a visual novel with intermittent gameplay that resembles a sport.

[@Fjarhultian]

Big sportsballgames. Eat a big hamburger for the courage to hang out with the minstrel in the corner.

[@goodvillain1015]

Alright, back to 2 uploads a day. Glad to know Pat is alive.

[@lilpotayto]

He had to go to hospital where the doctor told him he was full of shit. ...No, really.

[@ryukenxx2]

Goodvillain 101 Only Pat would get scurvy in this day and age.

[@Grabehn42]

Well this is not at all what I expected, think I'm gonna buy the shit out of it. Also, it's kinda funny that for the one game where "reading" is important, Pat and Woolie get to play it.

[@SoaringLettuce]

Jodariel is making me learn some things about myself...

[@jojonoa3590]

I like how you can highlight keywords to get more info on the world! Guilty Gear Xrd's story mode did something like that and it was really helpful. Also HOLY SHIT this game is gorgeous! Remind me to finally get around to playing Bastion and Transistor! XD

[@BaronVonWolfe19]

Hey, Plague! Creepy drawrings of Jodariel when?

[@FuriousGorge]

Bad Day Jay Not furry enough.

[@thistoxicguy7219]

FuriousGorge She pretty swolle tho, uncle Plague loves dem swolle gurls.

[@jerrymcghoulberry355]

Not enough orfaces.

[@DarkZholt]

Does Plague know about Jodariel?

[@lucasmartinez5703]

"I'm a fan of double dashing." Nice Woolie. That's my favorite Mario Kart too.

[@Samm815]

As a future librarian, these book burnings hurt me...

[@Samm815]

By the way Pat, a right side up pentagram is actually a good thing. It represents magic and nature not demons or Satan.

[@vdate]

The sheer enthusiasm and joy displayed here makes me sad you didn't play through the entirety of the game rather than just two episodes.

[@F_lippy]

I forget sometimes that Pat and Woolie are super into speed reading from time to time. I'm loving this vid, but Jesus, I could barely keep up without stopping to catch all of the text.

[@FuriousGorge]

Pip IV No they're just impatient troglodytes. An important part of real speedreading is actually retaining information from what you read.

[@blorgy7713]

Troglodyte's a little strong.

[@HNGamingOfficial]

FuriousGorge no, it's a let's play. They want to get through it without taking too much time. The thing is, you'll never make everyone happy. Some want you to skip as fast as possible, some want you to take a long time so they can read the text. The common thing for let's play text is to just let the people pause it and read it themselves. Or you know, buy the fucking game because this is just for entertainment not a direct one to one experience tailored to one person's specific needs.

[@theULTIMATETetris]

I never fully understood what this game was, but now that I know it's made by the people who made Transistor and Bastion I'm all in.

[@amurter19]

lots of talk about filler and garb-age and whatnot, but these are the videos I sometimes look forward to most. also, don't get how someone could write this this game off as simply a sports game, as if it's just your typical fifa update.

[@ValusHermit]

Oh my, I was originally wary of this new game from Supergiant, but after just watching 20 minutes of you guys playing through it I admit I am now heavily interested in seeing more. So I'll gladly be picking up a copy of this to play. It's always these kinds of videos I really have a deep appreciation for from you guys.

[@xAxLxExCx]

Pat selecting Bae as the girl's name gets an approving nod

[@AldousShitbird]

But reader... In order to get out of this you must perform sick dunks

[@TheFuryHasCome]

Yes! 2 uploads a day. Thank you Billy, hope you enjoyed your family. And thanks for getting better Pat, let's hope you're not so full of shit this time.

[@Dedlok]

"Hope you enjoyed your family! FAMILY! Family! family!"

[@ethans7588]

Another hype soundtrack by Darren Korb

[@sokumotanaka9271]

Her name is *bae* goddamnit you two XD

[@kerred]

sokumo tanaka I named her Fae. I regret it now.

[@GingaWolf]

Question, did naming her Fae change the follow up line? Like how she was Bea the Bloodless?

[@treedude4246]

GingaWolf she was called fae the fair for me

[@Fjarhultian]

"Scorpion crushed by bowlingball" is a strong constellation.

[@joinsideke]

Is the Downside just Australia?

[@nickcoyne3343]

Yes. I can't wait for them to open a Downside Steakhouse. Oh, wait...

[@admiralpepper6933]

I don't see no BDSM clothed aussie raiders giving chase while being accompanied by one blind freak doin' sick riffs on a guitar _that spews friggin' fire!_

[@RuthenTheDarkMagus]

Lady Pepper just wait until the next video comes out, you'll see

[@mightquinnable]

Wizard basketball this shit looks sick!!! How much does it cost and why is demon girl jodariel such a good design😳

[@theessenceofawesome1]

:( no full play through? Would have been amazing seeing them struggle on who to save

[@bloodyangel1]

Xenosaga Episode 3 had that huge wiki thing in game, where certain words were highlighted, and if selected, would take you to that word for an explanation. It was actually really useful for how convoluted the story was.

[@Alexhistorybuff]

This game looks super awesome!

[@TheGlamourNazi]

Imagine how great it would be if THEY WOULD READ THE LORE THINGS

[@richardhawk7758]

Pat's the first person I've seen to get scored on this early in the game.

[@Fjarhultian]

"Celery" seems to be that sort of word that can't be traced to anything other than the vegetable. A bunch of plants are like that.

[@andrewdaly2063]

I love how you are playing hype games for quick looks and not full LP's

[@Songi26]

Wait, this isn't about that guy that Venom was trying to save that the Punisher killed?

[@TheShuffleAlliance]

That poutine joke hits too close to home

[@Chagogo]

Pat's right about how the number of people able to read will drop like a rock the further back you go, but it still wields me out that so few people can read in any game that involves quite a bit of reading. It's like if in Phoenix Wright it, for some reason, was astonishing that Phoenix is a defense lawyer. Wait a second... *Flashes back to Spirit of Justice.* Riiiiiight.

[@benlunaris]

I like how the loading screen in the second area seems like a giant eye closing...The Universe blinks

[@Yal_Rathol]

i have a question. how does jodariel's mask cover her horns, when her horns are a different shape and at a different angle?

[@4Wilko]

*Hedwyn removes mask ROY!?

[@doufancyapickle]

4Wilko Josh?

[@Ubersupersloth]

He’s our boy, after all.

[@ShiningDarknes]

Pat doesn't realize the strat of pick up orb and toss it to opponent is to instant kill them is OP

[@AussieManny]

Welp, time to buy another Supergiant Games game!

[@BlackSpine90]

Grimoire weiss? Is that you? What are you doing here?! That's some nice plot dump you did there.

[@shanemarsh5]

they NEEDED to make this two parts. its clearly too exciting. they're thinking of our health, it has nothing to do with these guys becoming hopeless slackassess

[@Cobraxx23]

BRB commissioning art of horn lady

[@timothy1247]

Can we just, appreciate that music for a moment?

[@Znijik]

Before the first minute is done, Pat admits to making fun of girls with handicaps even if they're the coolest. ... Let's go.

[@Jonadiah13]

I don't know what I THOUGHT this game was, but it looks pretty dope!

[@rhyzvanic3660]

I just beat the first run through of the game. (I think) I've never fell in love with an exploding imp bat so quickly. For a full playthrough, there are *many* hours of gameplay.

[@The-Fable-Fox]

Vlad1m4ra YES! Ti'zo best character! And extremely OP

[@furyberserk]

Pat: Well I like small global bonuses personally. You mean temporary buffs?

[@admiralpepper6933]

As you near the true ending of your final journey, the final and true boss has emerged from his cavernous dank hole to fight the Nightwings. Behold! Feast your eyes upon the REAL master of the game and tremble upon his imposing presence! *_IT'S MOTHAFUCKIN' VIC VANDERLEER!_*

[@Trapperx89]

C'mon and Slam and welcome to the jam. FEEBLE CURSED ONE!

[@awsomeDualshock]

I went from not really interested to completely 100% balls-deep.

[@iamnuff1992]

I totally agree with Pat about literacy in fiction.

[@alexanderjamesaustin]

Pat is super wrong, transistor is amazing

[@AfroMetalMizu]

.... X-Men Origins Wolverine full LP...?

[@ghostfear2011]

AfroMetalMizu We Bleetzbol now.

[@0rriAndroid]

That would drag on way too long. I'd be down for a co op lp of x-men legends, though

[@godwavenexus]

Only if all three of them do it.

[@JSAVACADO]

Bastion + Fire Emblem + Hand of Fate + Basketball = Pyre

[@EkkieEkk]

I am so goddamn into this.

[@XavierGrim]

Fuck there's so much I love about this game. Just wish it wasn't a sportsball game. Still, fucking beautiful and I'd love to keep supporting the developers.

[@TheShazamProductions]

So when will this game be getting an animated series? Could do with another addition to "Top 10 anime battles"

[@mrman6035]

Finally Pat and Woolie on pt 99 of Darkbourne

[@goodvillain1015]

4:25 Holy shit, it Wakka. Speaking of which, when's that FFX-2 LP? I want to see my Lulu.

[@MogofWin]

This game looks great! I'll probably pick it up after I get tired of dead cells

[@J7outlaw]

this looks like a AWESOME game, I should buy it

[@coryandrews9235]

So, the fact that you can pass to enemies, combined with the aura system makes it seem like you could make a legitimate strategy out of passing to an enemy so that you can snuff them out and keep your players active.

[@The-Fable-Fox]

Cory Andrews Yup. AI gets cheap as shit later with that strat.

[@DubsRocks]

Was the announcer in the tutorial Kenny Hotz from Kenny Vs. Spenny?

[@wohdinhel]

is her name really *Bae*

[@amirakitty]

Saw this coming, I wonder what else I can predict!

[@LazyAssassin15]

The voice of that narrator during the rite sounds like a certain red skinned someone from The Emperor's Text-to-Speech Device.. Hmmmm, I wonder...?

[@skreeran]

LazyAssassin15 I was thinking that same thing

[@Daggorth]

That aside, does anyone know who's actually voicing the narrator for "Pyre?" If it's Logan Cunningham (the guy who narrated both "Bastion" and "Transistor") again, that man must have a much greater range than I previously thought- Just checked as I was typing this comment. Apparently it IS Logan Cunningham. Dats some talent right 'dere.

[@Samuraiedge2]

Zegram who voices Magnus the Red.

[@admiralpepper6933]

But does he have irrational hatred of *_FUCKIN' SPACE DOG FUCKERS?!_*

[@jcace13]

I was totally not expecting sports ball. Nobody expects sports ball!

[@ThOrb_God_of_Chonk]

8:48 Damn, that thing sounds like those stone faces that talked to Sir Daniel Fortesque in Medevil.

[@BrJPGameplay]

You know what? Games need more giant women with big horns

[@patriot-renegade]

8:58 I've been exiled jerkweed, might as well break the law! What're you gonna do, exile me?

[@claudialomeli4048]

6:47 Except all main characters in Game of Thrones are highborn, so it makes sense that all of them know how to read; also, it's a story about dragons, ice zombies and magical seasons, and them being literate is what you take issue with?

[@BewbsOP]

I have the weirdest issue with this game. i have a "low fps" warning that appears at random regardless of the fps. it generally runs at above 30, but even when it runs at 60 in the wagon, it'll still flash at random.

[@lemeres2478]

COME ON PAT, YOU ARE CANADIAN, YOU SHOULD KNOW HOCKEY! THE BIG ONE IS YOUR GOALIE! She is too slow to chase, so you keep her near your pyre so since she can wipe out everybody that gets near with a single step.

[@GoldenRiderAtreyu]

I shouldn't dig this dialogue heavy game type but I really dig it's aesthetic.

[@GodlessDarkness]

I'd be super down for a full playthrough just to see them lose at sportsball.

[@louiesalmon3932]

Pat. Beat Transistor. It's good and short. God damnit.

[@WorthyRiddle76]

Was literally playing this game when this notification popped up

[@thesw1tcher960]

Is this the return of Grand Wizard Wakka. Ehh Blitzball brother.

[@jayzenithrockstheworld]

Chaos Dunk? Woolie wasn't part of the Barkley Saga was he?

[@deslaya7777]

Devil-Elsa confirmed for tekken 7 dlc

[@MAGICMUSHI3335]

what was pat refrenceing at the beginning?

[@alzeheimersgaming]

Full LP tho

[@trygveplaustrum4634]

Wait, at the end though... Celerity->"Oh, yeah, Latin words, like..."->*CELERY.* Did ACCELERATION slip through the cracks, anyone?

[@SarahExpereinceRequiem]

So this is set in Australia?

[@Davies46]

So when is Darlington reopening Maddentown?

[@ultimatehamsandwich734]

I want that we never get to see the protags face except at the end and its just Wakka.

[@elijahnakumura4375]

Charles Barkley Jam Gaiden looks different from what I remember

[@ironpickle1665]

I think Game of Thrones gets reading right. Most, if not all, of the readers in GOT are from nobility meaning they were likely educated. Davos Seaworth, who was not born into nobility, was illiterate until Shireen teaches him.

[@Ohnonoki]

Liar liar, plants for hire.

[@Dakuu75]

TBF Just got me to buy this game, for real, thanks Pat'n Woolie. Wtf, I've seen this game on the front of the Steam Store for a few days now and thought "Man, it's probably another one of those, 'cool cover but lame game' kinda things that try to draw you in with radical title art." But, after seeing THIS, holy shit, it's like some weird Organ trail spiritual successor with black-jack and hookers! It's NUTZ!

[@darkenwarrior]

you say reading is not good for RP, Woolie, but if they were talking you'd just talk over them anyway so what's the difference?

[@fenrir3097]
