Hearing them talk so nostalgically about their time on Nine Ball Island just makes me wish they’d go back there. Grumps, nothing is stopping you from going back to it! Please consider picking that series back up. I think we’d all have a way better time!

I guess it’s because it’s multiplayer focussed, but this “sequel” is weirdly built like a mobile spinoff. 500 Fish is so insane that I actually expected to see a cash shop in the memoirs near the end.

[@pokemonwiz1]

The devs clearly didnt watch game grumps play endless ocean 2, because they would have brought back jean eric louvie and peewee deedee for another batch of hilarious. I give this a 7 episode season and they move on Edit: the reason i say 7 is because normally when they do recording sessions, its a 7 episode stretch of videos unless the game is shorter than 7 episodes. i understand like Endless ocean 2 came out in.... 2009!? geez.... but they still could have watched their videos or their kids brought it to the games devs and said "make jean eric come back!" regardless the entire thing behind 7 episodes is because thats their normal recording session numbers.

Luminous definitely has its own charms and does some neat stuff. It's a great game to just play with something on in the background. But yeah, it just lacks so much of what made the earlier games great and definitely doesn't lend itself as well to a Game Grumps style Let's Play

[@rtyuik7]

3:50(ish) - they tried to game-explain the "indication light" that unscanned fish have ('luminous bacteria that are repelled by the electromagnetic scanners')... all they had to say was "if a fish is Shiny, that means you havent Scanned it yet!" ...but then again, all they had to do was make an Endless Ocean game that was like the OTHER Endless Ocean games, yet apparently THAT was too hard, as well...no wonder Matthias is never coming back-- he's dead, just like this series of games, thanks for reminding me...

[@taka-mi02z]

ALRIGHT HERE GOES IT! Ive played through most of the game so far and here's my review and tips. I feel like I'm extra qualified since I've played both previous endless ocean games which literally inspired me to become a marine biologist which I am in my last year of schooling for. If I'm being honest, this game is not great...its boring without much plot. I feel like I'm one of the very few people who find it fun but thats purely because I enjoy seeing how they render the fish, and because I try to identify the fish myself. This game is all over the place but not in the fun goofy way of they other 2. They have freshwater fish in the ocean? Extinct fish and literal dinosaurs just roaming around, I've found coelacanth just chilling in shallow reefs. This game tries to be educational often presents weird plot as fact. They try to make it "realistic" by coming up with b.s scientific SOUNDING explanations. I could go on and on. This game is great to just chill out to, I like playing it at night while watching other stuff or listening to music. Its definitely not worth $50. Also story mode is not fun... Actual tips and tricks! If you need to scan more fish to unlock chapters, go on a solo dive and try to find a reef, go to the corals because they will have a bunch of little schools. Also finding large schools which tend to hang out closer to the surface is good too. Ignore the weird sidequests like the anomalies or disk puzzles, they're annoying and half the time don't work. Also when scanning, hold down the button and look all around, that scans more. You can also hit the b button before the meter fills up so you dont have to go into the individual fish camera. You also don't have to go down the list of each individual fish to make it count towards the fish goal. Hopefully this is helpful? Overall, if you are really wanting a chill somewhat educational experience you may enjoy the game, specifically the solo dives. Take all the educational content with a grain of salt tho because they do not make it clear if the fish is actually freshwater, extinct, or straight up a mythical creature. I will say the designers and artists outdid themselves the game is absolutely beautiful! Its very clearly a Japanese developed game as a lot of the fish are found there along with the salvage. I enjoyed that part since I’m Japanese and grew up seeing a lot of these fish. If you are a Japanese marine biologist who just wants to chill, you'll probably enjoy the game? But I wouldn't really recommend it. Just replay the originals. Its sucks its so bland. I was literally counting down the days until its release and it is a definite disappointment. Thanks to anyone who made it to the end through all my yapping! Love you

At first I thought “maybe they’re freaking out over scanning 500 things, confusing a side goal/achievement with the main game” then I saw THE NEXT CHAPTER IS LOCKED UNTIL YOU SCAN 500 THINGS. Wow, what garbage. How did they decide to bring a decade-old series back from the dead, only to make it the most aggressively cheap and padded thing possible? Edit: okay…so free dive counts toward the goal, and schools of the same fish count individual fish…that’s not as bad? Still pretty bad…

[@LeonReal77]

Nope, each fish counts individually. And it doesn't matter if it's a species that you've scanned previously.

It's so weird to me that it doesn't scale at all. Like a different game would have you start by scanning five, then ten, then twenty, then fifty and so on the further you get into the game so you're introduced to the mechanics and get invested in the plot simultaneously (or, y'know just have the story unlock when you're done with the previous part). But for some reason the devs go all in on 500, which as the episode demonstrates is like an hour plus level of effort for a 5 minutes of cutscene.

Endless Ocean: The Search for Fun

[@Jake2O9]

"Hey, where are the white women at?" Not Arin making a Blazing Saddles reference😂 10:20

[@KoriNicole]

OMG, i thought it was cuz 488 is so very close to 1488, i was like, no duckin way he just said that

[@OfftheRadar9790]

We've gone from a game that's contemplative and even a bit meditative, to a game that feels autofabricated by an AI, by some guy working from an iPhone.

[@emmagray9638]

8:16 We call him, The Cyclops!

[@AnnLiesArtist]

Also 20:52 happy to say that at least I got the lawnmower man reference Dan

[@biirdtator]

i’m a simple paleontology student. i see a prehistoric creature, and i am filled with whimsy beyond comprehension

[@the_gaiaphage]

Daniel is where the name for 9 ball island came from!!!

[@TheHammer305]

It's from the story mode of endless ocean 2

[@dartharcangel1987]

I’d be down for them to go back to Endless Ocean: Blue World, I know there’s plenty more for them left to do there

[@seanbrady2232]

Danny is a real one for recognizing the Hartford Whalers. Brass Bonanza for DAYS

[@mega_bird700]

The Grumps are working overtime to make this fun for us, i respect it.

[@2devious724]

Fun Fact: Zebra sharks got their name because they have black and white stripes when they're babies. Back in the day, scientists actually thought the babies and adults were separate species.

[@sultanhamza4633]

You guys NEED NEED NEED to play Animal Well, feel like it’s the perfect game grumps game!

[@LycanLink]

Yes, Arin, Danny has absolutely mentioned the Hartford Whale thing before.

[@alysonhensley3798]

It really is so depressing that the developing company made this series so soulless with the most tone-deaf and oblivious thing they could've done: making it an AI guide with an AI generated voice. Props to Arin and Dan for being such good sports about it.

[@rasenshuriken9076]

Dan and I both thought up the "Coachellacanth" joke at the same time!

[@suchnothing]

Just Daniel and Arin, swimming around in the ocean.

[@vanilla_milkshake]

you know its a bad game when Arin has to improv a nonexistent Seinfeld episode to keep him amused
