The Long Dark - HARDCORE DEADMAN: Ep 1 - Survival of the Elite

[@theanthem0ftheangels]

Crazy how everyone who plays TLD and posts has the most relaxing voices and calm commentary lol new viewer here! Interested to check out this challenge!

[@SurvivorMike]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching! :)

[@adubseven]

That's what I was thinking as well, I only watch one other channel for TLD and he's got a calm voice as well.

[@thatguy2535]

I replay episode I've seen before as white noise to fall asleep lol

[@moctarjohnson8887]

I think it's because the kind of people that like the long dark are very chilled out and relaxed. It's a slow paced game and is almost asmr in a way, just a very relaxing vibe in general.

[@ScottyDoesntKnow69]

So maybe we need a TLD play through with someone who has the voice of Macho-man Randy savage.

[@brandynstahler5266]

"i'll take all the clothing, even driving gloves." that about sums up the run

[@jpwhataboutit]

Mike - "Let's keep it at midnight. That's going to be a really fun challenge." Meanwhile, I still end up dying having spawned at noon on a bright sunny day!!!

[@SurvivorMike]

An endless night challenge could be pretty cool! I like having that day cycle for the interest of keeping things interesting. If it's always night, it won't be great for video quality. Cool idea tho!

[@jpwhataboutit]

@@SurvivorMike Loving the series. Watching no. 3 tonight!

[@ВладиславБарков-у1в]

Was usually watching Zaknafein channel, but his viesos are not frequent enough. So much glad to have your channel as a recomendation, loved the video. Keep surviving, gl, I am oficially your new fan now ))

[@wiplash123987]

I just found you today and must say that if there is one thing that attracts me to lets players is hardest difficulties. It compells us to watch people match their skill with games on hard difficulties cause it gets us invested. Most lets players play on normal or easy cause its easier to churn out content. I appreciate you playing a skill based game and I imagine a game that you really enjoy. Cheers and look forward to the playthroughs.

[@unorthifox]

I couldn't resist being your thousandth subscriber :) This is my first video I've seen of yours but I loved watching it! You have a very calming voice

[@SurvivorMike]

Thanks so much! Thank you for watching!

[@Jefitus]

Nice. Hope you get lots of viewers... looking forward to this series. Thank you, and nice commentary. :)

[@ArchimedesLP]

Nice! Always good to see some new perspectives on loper+ Great loot to start things off. I was pretty amused when you didn't even react to the second tin of coffee though :)

[@SurvivorMike]

Ha ik I was editing and noticed that lol. As we keep playing tho I'm sure I'll develop much more of an appreciation for certain items than I otherwise wouldn't. Thanks for watching! :)

[@carpenterxl5999]

Let the carnage begin. Rooting for ya man.

[@saturn7_dev]

Super keen to watch this one - hope you can survive as its very tough...

[@likainensami]

started out nicely, cool video!

[@josiahhockenberry9846]

Geez, this is insane. Why do this to yourself? Who hurt you? 😂 Seriously though, great run!

[@theisekaiman789]

Awesome video man.. on to the next one!!

[@trevorlauck8558]

Oh boy here we go hardcore deadman.

[@mrwalter7205]

I do enjoy the optimistic attitude while searching. 😂 Also, "weather variability works both ways. Short calms and short blizzards potentially

[@hellasketch6523]

I subbed bro, keep up the content!

[@mkv2718]

37:50 you were sooooo close to an indoor fireplace and 6 slot stove at gray mother’s house on the hill 😖

[@DavidWBIII]

Got me interested in this game and I love The Long Dark. I watch Accurize2 and he plays this game too. You have me interested in your gameplay for sure. 👍👊

[@justicebinder6544]

Seeing the settings and I don’t know how it’s possible to survive this at all

[@zioming]

Can wolves approach a burning campfire on this difficulty? I know you were trying to be cautions, but it was a great opportunity to scare the wolf away and bag a free rabbit.

[@ssaarrdd]

Had a quick test with wolf fear set to "none". Wolf was afraid of fires and torches. Drop torch and aim trick also worked. Walking at a wolf with torch scared them. So this setting does not seem to change wolf interactions with fire at all, may be it's a chance to scare wolf with stones alone. As I understand from discussions a lot of custom settings dont work as you want them to, or does not work at all. So Mike was unnecessary cautions this playthrough, I will consider this as additional self imposed Deadman challenge.

[@Conradical316]

Oh boy. This gonna be good 0:01

[@FoxLightstep]

Actual gameplay start time: 11:15 Sorry, Survivor Mike. But 10 minutes to go over just the settings is way too much.

[@SurvivorMike]

It has to happen unfortunately! I prefer to be completely open to each setting as opposed to jumping right in and keeping things a mystery, plus it's only for 1 episode! Thanks for watching! :)

[@MrMali22]

@@SurvivorMike Yeah and I love it. I hate when I have no idea what the settings are. It helps to appreciate the game more.

[@-WolfMan-]

This challenge should be called "WISHING FOR DEATH" ... because that's pretty much what this is all about, especially with These settings.

[@fernandoullaguari9073]

Mmm crazy hard challenge for sure and Milton town could be the best spawn for this challenge

[@lukasvasiliauskas6873]

Tbh i played this game for 200 hours But this guy played TLD since 2014 thats facts.

[@7passionstar]

It's a good idea to warm up completely in each house before you move on. Just take a quick nap. 😁

[@RamseyWJ]

That spawn was lucky

[@bonovoxel7527]

My first survival gameplay on this. Loved the storyline, waiting for the final chapter but c'mon I can't rewatch Wintermute for the 4th time, so here I am! :)

[@furkanarkan6213]

Hi , well played 😊

[@claysmith3141]

Crazy how you found three pots and I was doing a play through on voyager and couldn’t find one to save my life

[@WharGhoul_]

So Excite😮

[@dekipower]

seems to be the game cannot manage to set the deadman challenge from the very beginning of stick spawning low, because they was a truck full of them on the floor...

[@scottrushton6154]

I know this isn't a dead man challenge thing but I've only been able to find a pistol on the rafters of Hibernia at least challenge run wise.

[@jamesbamber86]

Wow you’re really good 👍

[@Molly_143xox]

I really like this game to play but i dont know how to melt/pick up snow😅 And i wouldt even survive a second in that game mode😭

[@muhammadkarimkulov7488]

очень повезло спавном в милтоне😊😊

[@JohnSmith-tl4dz]

AWESOME!

[@zioming]

With all my hours in this game, for whatever reason, I never thought of using a torch as a heat source...

[@samuelsmall5243]

This game is Brutal on easy settings GG mate

[@Loopcats]

Enjoying the run! I was wondering why you passed up the safe in the bank?

[@NorthernNewEnglandDashcam]

great video!

[@Tortuosit]

Really wondering why there were truckloads of sticks 😮

[@babyseal_5]

Great video!! In the Deadman challenge is it necessary to keep food bar above empty at all times because you can’t heal?

[@rolphalinerodriguez5960]

low moral means solders quit and flee the scene. high moral means they will fight until they die. unless the dev messed up on the moral setting than here's some free education for you.

[@aquamenadventures4382]

Now this is a lot better than watching glock. Tbh and imo keepsafe

[@tammykelly3843]

Glock still better imo

[@npc2794]

Glock9 is great thanks for reminding me about him

[@TocsTheWanderer]

A little dissapointed that you didn't check the safe in the bank.

[@samsinimsa5468]

Hi Mike, Archimedes talked about your chanel. And yes, i like your Chuck Norris Mode.🥶🙂

[@ralphmalph5191]

Not what I was expecting when I searched for "long dark dead man hardcore ", but a pretty enjoyable alternative to porn.

[@kraftwerkVS]

I like very much this mode. I would like though if you had recoureces higher or if you had a rifle and a pistol, with the rest of the settings to be as they are now. Great video though.

[@bonovoxel7527]

No guns uffffff :/ ok ok it's harder like this. Tho. I mean. The second godgiven amendment, dude!

[@saturn7_dev]

A new Deadman run would be cool - but don't start in either Milton or PV - only a harder level to start off with.

[@evenhand7743]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@niftyifty]

Do you not crack the safe for a particular reason?

[@VyseRogue13]

Don't you need the guts to make the hat and gloves?

[@SurvivorMike]

Yes, however it would be dangerous to carry them around. Maybe we'll harvest and keep some at Trappers, so we know where they are!

[@cyrus05w]

Joy.

[@jeffelliott7353]

You didn't open the safe?

[@SurvivorMike]

Yeah I knew the safe was there, just didn’t seem worth it since we gotta keep moving. Safes in higher difficulties tend to have a pretty high bust potential (meaning poor loot).

[@greatcorvianscynthe1231]

@@SurvivorMike You get ear wraps in the safes in interloper though. There should be at least 2 ear wraps in the entire world only in safes, can get more elsewhere too

[@patriotic1526]

Never saw this channel before. 10 min of settings and game play that cannot be seen? Beyond bored. Gl to ya

[@otter4519]

You realize you can skip ahead in KZbin videos, correct? Going over the rules, restrictions, and settings beforehand is important to challenge runs. If you're so easily bored, these slower-paced, more cautious challenges aren't for you anyway. Thanks for your comment contribution to the algorithm gods, don't let the door hit you on the way out. And for Mike-appreciate the settings overview man! It really helps in making clear just how difficult of a challenge we're in for, esp. for people who aren't as familiar with TLD. The 90% rest of the video was excellent too, who knew there could be so much interesting gameplay after the first 10 minutes? :)

[@jeffrey4547]

hardest i have seen is deadman with no looting in doors no resting indoors only can use the connecting cave but no looting them or resting in them no coal from them no birch bark tea i think there is only 3 or 4 stems u can find. one guy has over 500 days in it he proved it can be dun and he still had a lot of health left

[@jeffrey4547]

ps i did deadman for 80 days still had 84% health with 4 stems on me but did not like the game play took the fun out of it for me like not taking chances were i go out in the open and hunt bear and moose i like the risk of it of getting damage

[@mistergeez947]

I'd watch your videos more if you're curser and your videos didn't move so fast unfortunately. I am old and my eyes hurt watching your videos so no likes on this video and no subscribe. It's too bad I enjoy them

[@kaygerry]

So much intro........

[@SurvivorMike]

And soooo much gameplay!

[@viktable5955]

can you make a playlist with this, it seems stupid youtube plays them in wrong order (new to old) by default otherwise
