The Depressing Downfall of Beholder

[@oppenz3723]

What a waste of potential Beholder was. Also can't believe I forgot to actually post my comments until now.

3 in 1 review is crazy... guess your training for the infinite wealth: mahjong, infinite wealth: shogi and infinite wealth: darts 3 in 1 review

Don't forget infinite wealth: animal crossing

Death And Taxes is a super good game in my opinion. Good voice acting, every choice feels like it has impact, lots of character customisation, great music, and it has a good sense of humour

[@magicschoolbass]

Idk, felt like a super weak copy of Papers, Please. Choices never feel impactful enough, I never had any investment in any of the characters and there were just too little to do.

I personally am still a big fan of all the Beholder games and excited for the Spin off Game Beholder conductor, I even personally had more fun playing Beholder 3 than Beholder 1, even though Beholder 1 was excellent. But I understand that the initial state of the game and some of the still present bugs may be off putting for some people and the style of 2 and 3 with the story and style may not be everyone's cup of tea.

[@Random-gamer_526]

When’s the spinoff coming out?

@@Random-gamer_526 I don't know, its not been announced yet

I just dealt into a chuuren poutou in MJS... Anyway, thank you for a new video to cope with my massive elo loss and mental destruction.

[@magicschoolbass]

I've never even seen that one, holy. Still, double riichi always hurts more for me

[@zennr_]

@@magicschoolbass atleast double riichi isnt a yakuman and wont put you 32k points at minimum in the hole. I play mahjong pretty much daily now myself lol, its not healthy for my mental.

[@ThomasThomas-jg6ww]

am gonna watch it right after getting good ending in beholder for the 10th time.

[@prestongarvey6231]

I know, i know, haven't watched the video yet since it just released but, i really do think that while 1 and 2 were great (especially 1's dlc) i have zero clue how they flopped on 3 so badly. For shame.

[@magicschoolbass]

It's different devs from Germany. Didn't know what to do with the game I guess

[@sethgaston8347]

You’re great MBS!! I recently got through all your vids. I came for the RGG content and stayed for the great and honest opinions.

[@magicschoolbass]

Appreciate that my guy

[@ihavenoson3384]

I don't know much about these games. I'm getting This War of Mine flashbacks especially from the B3 footage. In that game, everything is a clickable icon action and that icon only appears when the game feels like it. That makes the game tedious and fall apart when it comes to fighting. You gotta love how the developers at one point in (2023?) patched the game just to add advertisements for their newer games. Some people had their executables deleted by that patch. The mobile game style click controls are not the best to say the least.

[@ADTFreak]

Never heard of these games but the papers please title track was a throw back for sure. Sad that 3 just was a mess because if it’s not the original studio why even bother at that point if you’re not going to keep the core of what makes it fun. Based on what I saw in the video. Great video as always though, bass. Hope you get your 3DS back soon 😢

[@bogdanalacek6791]

there's a fourth game being made beholder conductor

[@magicschoolbass]

Really eager to see it

[@bogdanalacek6791]

me too, i've followed this fandom for years or maybe even months idk

[@Alsnafe749]

I had a lot of fun experince playing 2 and 1 , I tried every ending possible (I think) I Loved the writing the characters the environment What I have issue with 2 is The gameplay , it’s great story with choice But THE GODDAMN WORK itself is repetitive and boring That’s the worst part about the game , everything else is great But 3 on the other hand Missed the charm by a Lot , I bought it Thinking I’m gonna have the same experience but , it doesn’t feel right , I immediately stopped playing because it doesn’t tell you what to do exactly or how to progress Kinda throws you Into the game Lost , and the decesions aren’t fun or interesting just furstrating and you never have enough Time , I have Hope For Beholder conductor Though

[@MorifinweCarnistir]

I like 2 more than 1 I am still playing the sequel but I like how I am now able to mingle with the ministry workers and watch tv shows just to backstab others and become a God of the soulless. It's still a bit cheesy because Caleb was a liberal and I am, well, not one so I kinda feel the obligation to fulfill his vision, but I like Isaac and the prospect of becoming the new Wise Leader if possible

My real man when’s the next stream gonna happen

Infinite wealth mahjong very soon

[@doodlethenoodle382]

I've only ever played Beholder 2 but I can say it was probably the worst game I have played yet it looked so promising - whoever did the design of the characters and environments did a great job. The same music repeating over and over certainly did not help though.

[@Random-gamer_526]

Is beholder 3 closely tied with the first/second like beholder 2 was or is it just completely different?

[@magicschoolbass]

Completely different universe even

[@Random-gamer_526]

@@magicschoolbass oh ok thanks I have the first one and I’m going to get the dlc and then the second one and just forget the one

[@Random-gamer_526]

Third one

[@DeadIslandHelpCenter]

@@Random-gamer_526 the third game does take place in the same universe but it's set in a completely different country than the original two (this was recently confirmed by what has been shown for the Conductor spinoff)

[@angryrinokripperino7621]

Hey wait a second this is not Infinite Wealth... Guess I'll watch anyway

[@grandinquisitor8335]

Beholder 2 is a weird game, I think it has a great start, okay middle, with a lackluster finale, you can clearly see that most of it's budget went into the 1st floor, as it's the most fleshed out floor. Another thing I disagree with it being grindy, the game outright tells you to beat the game is by not doing your job, and the tutorial calls you insane for wanting to try and rise up legitimately. If you play it smart and save as much money as possible and just use authority you can just skip the 3rd mini game all together and just do all the quests and finish up. But yeah a lot of your complaints are valid, but I still like it and give it a 7.5/10 even if it didn't go all the way.

[@colinvoorneveld]

3 is good i think
