Dune Awakening. Now, I don't know how good this is going to be. I haven't played a new MMO in a very long time.
Let's take a look at the Steam charts. So Dune Awakening right now has, it's got 77,000 people playing it.
I'd say that's pretty fucking good for an MMO. It's certainly not New World or Lost Ark levels of success, but it's decent.
So we'll try it out.
I dream of it amongst the wild threads of history and the myriad of paths.
Saw the Imperium rise from the ashes left in the wake of the Great Revolt.
Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of the human mind.
With that commandment, new avenues of human potential were explored.
Mentats, Sukdoctors, and the mystical Benegeserite sisterhood.
But it was the navigators and their monopoly on space travel that set the conditions for the Imperium.
Oh.
But I am telling you of the universe you already know.
Let me describe the one you do not.
In this other universe, my mother, Lady Jessica,
consort to Duke Lido Atreides,
gave birth to a daughter, a girl they named...
Wait, what?
Is that alter in a universe?
Because of her obedience to the Benad Jesuit,
Lady Jessica is trained as a truth-saier.
Because of that training, Lady Jessica was able to detect Dr. Ua's deception.
Oh.
Because of the forewarning of his betrayal,
House Atreides survived the Battle of Erakine.
Damn.
Because of their survival, the emperor declared a full-scale war of assassins.
Because of the war,
the Sardicar will deploy to ensure spice shipments continued without interruption.
Oh.
Because of the Sardicar, the fremen were eradicated.
There was no Muadip, no Liza al-Gahib, no Cuisatadrach.
Oh.
I see a universe where I, Paul Atreides, was never born.
It's confusing.
Okay.
This one leads to you.
That's interesting.
Okay, there we go.
All right, play now.
All right.
And I'm going to click on Play Now.
and North America's server obviously recommended server
Let me look at all the servers
Okay, so what's the highest population server
Okay, we're going to go to
Let's see, what's the best one to go with?
Because some of these are locked that there's so many people on them
And I think we're going to go, what's the one that sounds cool
Acheron sounds pretty cool, go lowest to ping
That's actually a good idea too
We could do Rift Run.
Let's do Rift Run server.
This is a 22 ping server, medium population.
Let's go with this.
Okay.
And then, uh, let's go with Hi.
We'll join Siac Konutana, I guess.
Approach prisoner.
Oh shit.
Show yourself, child.
That's me.
Right?
Is that me?
I think that's me, right?
Yeah, this is where I customize my character.
Okay.
So voice, okay, let me just test this out.
Pre-set, okay.
I'm just going to go with one height.
We're going to make him eight out of height, eight feet tall, arm thickness.
We're going to go minimum.
Leg thickness.
We're also going to go minimum as well.
Neck length.
We're going to give them, like, we're going to give them like maybe a kind of long neck,
maybe a six.
Chest size, we're going to make this also minimum as well.
So this is going to go down to zero.
Skin tone is going to be pale as well.
All right, that's perfect.
And then Vidaligo.
What that was Vidaligo?
Okay, it doesn't do anything.
So I'm just not going to worry about that.
Vidaligo's strength, freckles decency.
Okay.
All right, and face type.
Let's look at this.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
That's it?
Fuck.
Okay.
We're just going to go with...
I don't know, guys.
Maybe four?
Like, how do you guys
swap four?
Yeah, I mean, none of these are really that good.
So,
I'm going to go with, like, maybe I hear four.
So, like, I'm in between three and four.
Yeah, let's go with three as well.
And,
uh,
I feel like none of these really look that good, honestly.
Like, uh,
I,
I think we're just going to go with four and just stick with that, right?
There's not really a whole lot of other good options.
Three years old.
Yeah, I'm three years old.
Head details.
Okay, draw width.
Okay, we're just going to go ahead and go make that smaller.
And then this right there.
Okay, here, draw depth.
Just put that right in the middle.
Chin width.
Put that right there.
Chin length.
I think probably about like right here for me.
Cheekfulness.
Okay, I'm definitely very skinny.
So I'm probably going to go to right there.
Cheekbone height.
Okay.
Probably about like right there, I'd say.
depth um i'd say probably about like right there okay good and let's go back and let's see here
eye color uh brown eyes obviously all right and scare a tent oh damn bro what the fuck no i don't want
that eye details okay uh let's not fuck around too much with this uh i think the eyes are pretty
much fine. Yeah, I don't want to
fuck, yeah, this is like, I feel like I'm
gonna do this and it's gonna turn me into like a
hammerhead shark or some shit.
Okay, so we're not gonna fuck with that. Nose
details, okay, I'll make it the
nose size. I have a pretty small nose.
Tip size as well, also pretty
small. And
protrusion,
let me see,
it should be about right, nose angle.
Okay, probably about like right there.
Actually, no, probably about like right.
Or about there. Nose height.
It's probably right there.
Bridge height.
Okay, that's good.
Bridge width.
Okay, who gives a shit about that?
It's going to take a while?
No, it's fine.
It's already almost done.
Let's see.
What are the rest of these?
Nostral height.
Okay, that should be fine.
Width as well.
Make my nose even smaller.
Okay, eye details, mouth details.
Okay, mouth size.
Pretty small mouth.
And the angle.
Okay, probably right there.
And width.
Maybe right there.
And depth, I'm not really sure about.
And blemishes.
Oh, shit.
I don't know if I want to go with that at all.
Skin dark circles.
Oh, shit.
Okay, so that's like a fucking emo or some shit.
All right, hairstyle.
Okay, so yeah, bald, obviously.
Wow.
Why is the first one a Karen haircut?
Okay, let's see if we can find any good ones here.
No?
I'm not a fan of any of these.
I guess this one's okay.
Yeah, I might go with this.
What about besides this?
Maybe this?
Uh, not anymore.
Ah, fuck.
Yeah, guys, I don't think we really have a good one here at all.
Um...
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
I think we go with, uh...
I think we go with that one.
Yeah, I feel like this is the, uh, this is the, uh,
is the closest that we can go with.
Receeding back.
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
All right, good.
All right, hair color, brown hair.
I think actually that's totally fine.
Eyebrow style.
Let me go ahead and change this.
I have very straight eyebrows.
They're all pokey and pointy.
Yeah, I guess we're just going to go with that.
Like, I feel like there's not really an eyebrow details.
Okay, there we go.
Angle.
Yeah, there's definitely that.
height. Okay, probably there. Depth. I'm not even going to fuck with that. Okay, beard style. Here we go.
Next. I think that looks pretty good. Uh, that one looks like shit. Uh, these kind of all look like
shit as well. This looks like shit. That looks like Orlando Bloom. We're not going to go with that.
Okay, let's see what else we've got here. Uh, yeah, I feel like a lot of these beard styles
kind of suck. So, uh, we're pretty much between these two different options. And I think that
I think this one's kind of cleaner, honestly.
But this one's more accurate.
What do you guys think?
This one's five.
This one's 10.
Five or ten.
Or top or bottom.
Second for sure.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, let's go with that then.
Like, the weird thing in the middle is like, I don't really have that.
But like, that's okay.
It's close enough.
And beard color, we're just going to keep it there.
That's totally fine.
Okay.
Face tattoo style.
We're not doing that.
No tattoos.
Head scars.
We're not doing any of this shit.
Okay.
Eye makeup style, absolutely not.
Lipstick color.
Absolutely fucking not.
This is all girl shit.
We're not doing any of that.
Okay.
Gentlemen, I think that we have our character.
How do you guys feel about this one?
Looking good.
Feeling cute.
Let's get it done.
All right.
Finish character.
Enter character name.
As Mon Gold.
All right.
Name is invalid.
The fuck does that mean?
Asmon? Okay, unlock research menu.
Okay.
Uh, I don't know what that means, but I just, I clicked on it.
Have they told you what I am?
Uh, yeah.
Then I will sift your words for lies.
Okay.
Let's begin.
Where were you born?
Uh, okay, so I have different traits here.
And, well, I don't even know what these things do.
It doesn't even tell me what they do.
Like, if I go and I mouse over this, it's just annoying, I'm just going to go.
Look, I, it, so, uh, dialogue trade is deception.
Okay, I want to be honorable.
Actually, let's go with deception.
Okay, uh, yeah, that should be fine.
A toxic place.
And the Harkinans prefer it that way.
Ghalidi Prime
The order of the Imperium is rooted in the far for Lucius
Okay
A place for every man and every man in his place
Uh huh
Where is your place
Okay bondsmen
Ny Familia or Pylon
Um
The peasant labor force
That sounds, it just looked like losers
Why would I want that?
Okay, bondsmen are known casually as citizen class
essential members of noble households
Nah, fuck that
Let's just go with Bondsman
Let's go with your average Joe
Your average guy
There has always work to be done
And millions like you to do it
Damn
You had a mentor in your youth
trained by one of the schools
Who was your mentor
Okay so I have sword master
a Benny Jesuit Acolyte
A menat I don't know what the fuck that is
And a trooper
Well I mean guys let's obviously just go with fucking
Let's just go a sword master right
I mean like
I feel like that's the best option
Yeah let's go sword master fuck
From the failed house of Ginnars
I assume
What a waste that whole affair was
The test is almost complete
Have you spoken truth?
Yes, I have spoken truth
Neil
Put your hand in the box
Oh, it's from the movie
I hold at your neck the Gomja bar
The high-handed enemy
Don't pull away or you will die
Great plots are afoot in the
Imperium and the currents of intrigue run
deeply
Iraqis is the key
and the fremen
the fremen are missing
where'd they go
you will go to Iraqis as our agent prisoner
you have one task
wake
everything depends on this
do you understand
so you have to like find Paul Atreides
or some shit? Yes
I understand
good you speak truth
but here is the rest of it
There is only one rule.
Keep your hand in the box and live.
Withdraw it and die.
An animal would gnaw off its own hand to escape the pain.
And we can only be served by humans.
Find the friend.
Wake the story.
You will know when it will do.
Okay.
Let's see.
This is the game?
You got to put your hand in the box.
That's right.
Chad is the game good?
We'll know soon.
So far a lot of the visuals in the story is like kind of like pretty much like okay.
Not like super impressed or anything. It seems all right.
Okay.
So we're going to Aracas.
That's the sand place.
And that's me.
Wait, aren't you supposed to like walk in a certain way so the sandworms don't get you?
Wait, shouldn't you know that?
I thought you had to walk a certain way.
They got it.
I mean, you tell me.
don't have like any anti-air mission or anything like that but i mean you don't have a single
well they never seen an RPG before yeah what about them shields the blue things
oh oh i agree but she is your most sciatina yeah i totally know what that means that's me
look how many teeth i have wow let me guess i wake up on a beach and i only have a rock
Oh shit. I've done this before.
Looks kinda nice. Dog is that?
Alright.
So, let's move around.
So this is like the Unreal 5 announcement, basically.
I'm playing through the announcement trailer.
Okay, I can run.
I can walk, and then if I hold down shift, I run.
Alright, let's loot this.
Wait, I not loot it.
E. Okay, there we go.
I don't have to hold that, I just press it.
All right.
Crafting menu allows you to craft useful items.
Okay, B, crafting menu.
Okay, makeshift knife.
All right, let's craft this.
So, I have a knife.
So I put the knife on and then I cut through it.
Wow!
I'm dehydration.
Oh, oh, I see.
I have to, so there's like, I have to, like, manage my water.
Okay.
I can't drink anymore.
Okay.
All right.
Let's go down this.
way. So, wait, did I just take damage? Oh, wow, I did. Um, okay, so plant fiber. Okay, so I could just
easily eat those. Okay, then heal kit. Okay, so let me make this. Okay, craft. All right,
let's make a bunch of heel kits. I feel like we need those a lot. Okay, and we're gonna use one of
those. Oh, damn, bro, they barely heal for shit. Jesus. Okay. Um, um,
Um, so I have to go and...
Oh, I see. I climb up that way.
I didn't notice that.
And I can press space to charge and do even more.
Okay.
Make sure I loot those two so I can get even more heels.
All right.
Let's move.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
I'm about to make it out the cave.
There it is.
Oh, shit.
Things are fucked up, huh?
More sand?
Yeah.
So, that.
You're not quite dead
Why did this guy not kill me?
Now you will know a thing that few with the fremen have seen
For many the last thing they saw
Before they were slotted
Oh fuck
That's a guy
Let us speak of our escape
They got a nuke
Tune comets in the sky
A rebirth from fire and death
And a Sadaq
net closing around us.
Your survival herald's
interesting times off-wolder.
You mentioned escape.
There's a way through the barricade
if you do as I say.
Tell me what to do.
We're going to need one of their ornithopters.
Okay, we gotta get a bird.
The protocol is to remain aloft and kill anything
that moves from above.
Got it.
How do we get it?
That's where you come in.
If you can slip back onto the proteus
and locate the command module,
you can activate the captain's personal emergency
Okay.
He's a noble.
They're not allowed to let him die.
Damn.
Leave the rest to me.
Okay.
Uh, let's activate the transmitter.
Yeah.
Take this communionette transceiver.
It's essential for planetary communication.
Okay.
Now go and be quick.
The mother storm is upon us.
Let's go.
Goodbye.
Can I attack him?
No.
Okay.
And can I go through this?
I cannot.
Okay.
Um, what happens if I go back over here?
Is this where I came from?
Yeah, it is. Okay. All right.
Let's go.
How's Dune? Is it good?
Um...
Stick to the shadows off-wilder.
The heat of the sun is deadly to the unprepared.
I don't know yet.
Oh, I see.
So you have to be in the sun.
And then it goes down.
What's this noise?
Okay, let's go down this way.
What's the ear?
Yeah.
The guards have sealed themselves inside.
Search the prisoners for a cuteray and off-wolder.
Be careful.
Take all.
Okay, got it.
And how do I do this?
The cut array and the power pack?
Oh, oh.
The cut array is primarily a mining tool, off-wielder.
You'll need it for harvesting resources.
It's not working.
Using it to cut open ships is an added benefit.
Oh, now it's working.
Okay, give me a minute.
I gotta wait for it to recharge.
I'm actually heal myself.
Okay, I can't draw a dick with it.
Um, oh, oh, I didn't read the other side of my screen.
Yeah, I, yeah, okay, I didn't, yeah, I was only reading it.
I thought I just use it on there, it'd be fine.
Okay, I got it now.
I usually don't read instructions.
Uh, they're wasted time.
The captain's room is blocked by a penta shield.
Uh-huh.
You'll need a pentashield key to pass through.
Well, how do I get it?
See if there's another way forward.
Okay.
Um, let's see.
Okay, maybe I go, oh, I go through here, maybe?
No.
Oh, I wonder if I can do this.
Oh, can I?
Oh, I just cut it off.
Ready your weapon, off world.
The guards won't hesitate.
Neither should you.
Okay, got it.
Continue.
What?
Wait, I can cut through a rock, but I can't cut through a person?
Why not?
Okay.
Take all.
Got it.
Harry.
Barry.
Your opponents just as their strikes will hit you.
This should stagger them, giving you a window of opportunity.
Okay.
Do it.
Do it.
All right, good.
Got it.
Pretty simple.
I don't know where I'm supposed to go here.
The fuck?
Maybe I go up there.
Oh, I go through this.
I see, I see.
Because it's green.
Okay.
Break out of staggered state.
Okay.
Got it.
Water discipline two hydration level above one-third okay
Or maximum maximum standard's degrees, okay that's fine
Let's go here so I can't loot these people for some reason
Oh I see so I'm not actually locking on. I just put like a little targeting thing on
Drink. Okay, well let's go down and fight this guy
The swift attack can force your enemy or balance
but only a slow blade penetrates a shield I'm holding
holding it. I don't even understand. It's one button. I just press and hold. What the fuck?
Oh, you have to stagger them first. Okay. Got it.
That's the Pentashield key.
Alright, let's get that.
Easy enough.
Get to the captain and activate that transmitter.
Okay, and how do I get through here? Activate the transmitter? Got it.
We did it.
This is harder to nail the ring.
Yeah.
It's about the same type of game.
If you can attack stuff and loot things, you know.
Pretty much all in the ring.
Okay, so now what?
We only need the leader.
Uh-oh.
I'm a wanted man.
Boy,
bootland scum.
He vizio man took the last
of breath of the hum-un-vallo arso.
So I have to fight.
This is like that tutorial boss?
I know that's why I brought you here.
Uh-oh.
We're gonna fight him?
Oh shit, he is.
Oh!
Uh-oh, uh-oh.
Oh shit.
Got him.
Damn.
The thupter will have the codes to get us through the barrier.
Have you fly in on a thopter?
It's simple enough.
Shouldn't we loot him?
But my leg is bad and I won't be able to work the pedals.
Okay, so now I get to fly the bird.
Oh shit.
They got the wasps.
Wait, what?
Am I loading?
Okay, is this a loading screen?
Yeah, it is.
All right.
Get up.
But now you need to run.
What?
Run.
No.
Okay, let me go to this light.
Sandworm.
Is that...
Oh, that's a big boy.
Wait, what the hell?
What the fuck?
Okay.
And I guess I have to go this way.
There's like a little thing that tells me to go here, but let me go to this.
Oh.
Catch your breath.
Pick up all the metal.
When the thopter went down, the storm took us far off course.
My leg is bad.
I need to lay low and treat it before it gets worse.
But fear not.
Off Wilder.
Knock to her can cover the ground between us with little effort.
She will be my eye in the sky so I can continue to offer my sage advice.
Alright.
And keep you on this side of the grave.
Figure out how to craft yourself some clothing.
That Maula Alfred won't cut it out here.
Okay.
Can I open this door?
Uh, looks like I can't.
Maybe I go in through here.
I can go in through the bottom?
No.
Um.
Okay, well, I can't go in that guy's house.
Let me kill this guy.
Oh, oh.
The fuck?
So I can't use this to mine?
Okay. I mean, I would assume you could mine those, but I guess not.
All right, let's go through here.
Harvest plant fiber. I don't even see any plant fiber.
What the fuck?
Okay, now I can do it.
Oh, I can't have to go up there, right?
Um, all right.
What's this thing over here?
Sandworm threat.
Okay, let's turn around.
All right.
So there's a sun mechanic for this.
Let me go to this area first.
It's a scavenger camp.
What?
Okay.
Well, let's see.
I guess I'll go down and loot this one too.
Can I loot her?
I guess not.
All right.
And now I can use this and try to unlock this.
That's good.
Try this one too.
There we go.
That's good.
And did they have it?
any, any loot here? Yeah, they do. Okay, so I, we still don't have any plant fiber. I don't know where
the fuck the plant fibers are. Okay, let's go cut through this. Cave of ghosts. That's decent.
Small buddies, so I'm not really sure how this works. Like, I, I never played the beta for this
game or anything at all, so like, this is my first time really experiencing it. I still don't know
where any of the plant fiber is. Contract menu, your journey menu, okay? It's just like a battle pass?
Um, oh, there's some right there. I see him. Yeah, there's three. Okay, that was like a tutorial. A true first experience? Yep, this is my first. Yep, never played it before.
Okay, so craft makeshift clothing. All right. Well, let's go ahead and do that. Uh, where wait, B, right? There's B for crafting.
Okay, and power packs, schematics, research. Okay, so makeshift clothing. All right, let's go ahead and do that.
You'll gain all this knowledge.
Okay, got it.
So it's like, I remember Powell World had the same type of crafting, too.
Okay, so we have to craft all this year.
Okay, well, then we go.
Seems pretty simple.
Looks like they borrowed a lot of game mechanics from a Conan game.
Well, didn't those, uh, didn't this?
Weather Alert.
Alar Sandstorm is approaching.
What?
Uh, is that bad?
Are Sandstorms bad guys?
Okay, and, all right, so this is my inventory.
So I'm going to equip this.
Alright, and then have the boots.
Yes, okay, we have everything equipped now.
Salvage metal from the wreckage with your cuteray and use it to make a mowl of pistol and darts.
Okay.
Don't let the imperial disdain for ranged weapons lead you astray.
All right.
Very few people are foolhardy enough to use shields this deep in the sands and that is to your advantage.
Probably should use a lot. I should make a lot of darts, right?
Okay, well, I've got plenty of darts now.
Okay, so that's done.
Oh, I need to make 90.
Oh, shit, I ain't to make even more than that.
Okay, uh, let's see.
Sector weather alert.
Oh, I made, I made them off.
Okay.
Who's this guy?
I, I hit him?
Oh, wow.
Wow, bro, I died fast.
Holy shit.
Okay, uh, retrieve your backpack.
I got you.
Go back to here.
Your BB gun's,
Yeah, bro. Like, that was bad.
Okay.
Let's run back with this one.
Um, I'm gonna die again.
Because, uh, I don't know where to go.
Bro, you're dying? Yeah, I know.
There's nothing I can do.
Like, I, I, I didn't know if I respawned. I'd spawn inside of here.
Oh, I made it. I made it.
Okay.
All right, I'm back.
That was rough.
Okay, it's waiting inside here.
Crap bandages?
Well, I can't because didn't I lose all my inventory?
I guess maybe I didn't.
A heel kit, maybe?
I can only craft one.
Yeah, I only have one heel kit that I can make.
I'm still half health.
That's really not that good.
Let's go here.
Okay.
We'll go through this area and then hopefully this should get me back to my body.
I'm assuming that it will, but I don't really know.
I don't know how much of this metal I'm supposed to get.
This game's like Mettin?
I never played that. That's like a fucking, like a Turkish game or something, right?
It doesn't let me. All right. So now I should be able to get to my body.
Yeah. I feel like fall damage in this game is like really punishing. So, oh, maybe it was just that one part.
Okay. Go down this one. And now I should be able to get my body and get my stuff back.
Okay. I'm gonna see if I can heal up and kill those guys this time. Okay. Let's do it. Is this a full release? Uh, it's
the early access.
Wait, they're all dead.
Where'd they go?
Okay, well, whatever.
It's fine with me.
Okay.
Oh, I have to research this thing.
Let me go do that.
I forgot about that.
Got it.
Craft one.
Okay, and research beacon.
Let's go ahead and craft that now.
Debuffs, okay, got that.
Pick up a fuel cell.
Okay, craft it.
And now I have to place the respawn beacon,
and we're going to put it right,
we'll put it right here.
This used to be Frament.
Okay, good.
But the war of assassins and the Sardakar pogrom put an end to that.
Now the sector is crawling with scavengers.
Fighting over the scraps of Imperium technology left in the wake of this so-called noble war.
But that's the...
...inoculars as well.
All right.
Allow them to do the hard work of gathering the salvage...
Um...
And then take it from them.
Don't hesitate to kill them all.
They would do the same to you.
to you.
Okay, so I can look around.
And go to the scavenger camp and then kill the scavengers.
All right, where's the scavenger camp?
It's right there.
Okay, I made it.
But they're dead, so I can't kill them.
Well, that's not looking too good, is it?
Am I soft-locked?
I don't know.
Do I have to wait for them to respawn?
I think I have to, right?
That's the only thing that makes sense.
Go to different camps.
Okay, sure.
Yeah, let me go try that.
Might as well.
Okay.
Oh, over there.
Gotcha, bitch.
Let's go through this one.
Maybe there's give me another scavenger camp over here,
and I can just kill them instead.
All right, let's do it.
No, there's nobody here either.
That's a random guy.
I can tell that's a guy just the way, by the way, he's looking.
Who the...
All right, let's get away from him.
Okay.
Let's go around.
and I've got to find one more camp
I don't know where these camps are
so we're just going to look around the edge here
and probably find one right
if I can climb
I don't really see anybody around here
I guess I just have to go to another rock
I'm not really sure but
oh no that guy that guy is another player
use binoculars
yeah but like I can't see anything over there
and I don't know if I can go through the sand
because then won't I get attacked
let's go to that
sandworm sound
No, it's okay. I won't get hit by a sandworm.
I'll be fine. Right? That must be fine.
Surely I'll be fine. Okay, Stems jackpot.
Damn! Okay, let me heal.
Okay. All righty. Well, they're dead.
Use your ability, cue?
Oh, right. Okay. Yeah, let me go do that.
It's obvious you've had some training off-wielder.
Ah, I don't know about that.
it has in store hone your skills yes so I do you feel safe for here but
now I don't know that would happen remember I didn't run away from the
nods just to get older than knowledge uh research all right skills menu the blade
the will and the way okay so these are different classes in the game I guess
let's see I guess we're gonna go with this
And then do I have to do this one too? I guess maybe I do
Without a still tent okay. I get it
You're easy prey to the sandstorms that sweep across the desert
Those storms tear flesh from bone and shred metal like paper
Unless you'd like to share a cave with some scavengers
Your best bet is to build your own shelter
Uh-huh build a construction tool and place out a subfief console
You'll be claiming a portion of the planet's
surface for your very own or rather borrowing it from the emperor i'm a little hazy on the specifics
all right um so i've got to go and build a house and so i need to get granite where the fuck is granite
it's probably on a on a rock right there's got to be near a rock i wonder if this is granite uh
nope that's copper i thought copper was green why is it
blue in the granite the department okay let me go over there i'm doing my best oh we got more people
over here we're gonna kill them let's go after this what okay that was pretty easy so i just killed two guys
that was it and i didn't even loot anything off of them either what about this my backpack is full
Ooh.
I'm not really sure how this works, man.
Brilliant MMO.
It's a survival game?
I don't know yet.
Where's my real?
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
I got to kill him.
Jesus Christ.
Okay.
And let's see, what do I have to do here?
Crafting and a basic construction kit, and I can't do that.
Journey, J for Journey.
Okay, talk to Zantara.
escape. Okay, I have to mine stone. Okay, well, where the fuck is stone? And also my inventory is full.
So what the hell do I do with my inventory? Do I just get rid of stuff? Like, I don't know. Uh,
I guess I can just get rid of these, right? Because I'm not really using these. And then maybe I could
get rid of some of my scrap metal too. Actually, let me get rid of maybe some of my white darts.
Okay. Um, make a base. I can't because I don't have a construction set.
You need a construction set in order to build a base.
And I don't know where...
Where the granite is.
Maybe these are granite?
This doesn't look like granite.
It's just like a random asset.
Okay, I already did that before, too.
That's a thumper, is it?
And I think this is another...
Like, that's not granite, right?
I mean, like...
It doesn't tell me what it is.
It says it's copper ore.
Oh, fuck, I think this is actually granite.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, this is granite.
All right, good.
I think that guy helped me, maybe?
Thank you, man. Thank you.
Okay.
We'll look around and see if we can find another rock.
Where's the rocks?
Is this a rock shortage?
Okay, there's a rock right there.
I think we can use that one.
Okay, bonus rock.
Got it.
Okay, backpack is full again.
Fuck!
Okay.
Let me go ahead.
I'm going to split my copper ore in half,
and I'm going to throw half of it away.
Because I just don't have the space.
Okay, let's go over here.
Bigger pack, upgraded.
I don't know how to do that.
It hasn't told me how to do that yet.
Um, where's the granite?
I'm parched.
Okay, I found one.
Okay, easy.
Too easy.
All right, good.
So, now what?
Apply for construction.
Okay, let's go ahead in construction.
And craft a construction tool.
Crafing that.
Equipping it.
Oh, okay, I see.
Well, let me build my base right about...
Should I build it like right here?
I feel like if I...
I feel like there's a reason why these bases are built next to...
Yeah, because it's like there's like sandbirds or something like that, right?
Yeah, it gets eat by a worm, exactly.
Like, yeah, let's not do that.
We're going to go to the other side.
And let's go and put our base right about...
Yeah, yeah, it's gonna go right here.
Yep, putting a base right here.
This is gonna be perfect.
This is the best base of my life.
Got it.
Congratulations, you're now the proud owner of an imperial subfeefeef.
Okay.
More of a sub sub-sub-feefef, but it's enough for now.
Get your construction tool out and get cracking.
It's not a shelter without walls and a roof.
Okay, so I've got to go and I've got to make
How's this work?
Okay, foundation.
Do it.
Do the thing.
Change set.
Okay, uh...
All right, we're doing it.
Okay.
And now we need to do a wall.
Inner face.
Okay.
I have to build a wall.
I am...
Who's paying for it?
Uh...
Apparently not the fucking Iraqis isn't.
I've got to go find more fucking granite.
Shit!
Okay, I've got to...
construct a door.
Okay, let's do, uh, let's get more granite.
Okay.
And we'll look around, see if there's anything else to, to destroy.
It looks like, no, not really.
All right, let's go over this way.
We need subsidies, yeah.
Hello.
Hello.
Let me make a door.
And what does a door do?
Okay.
All right, we got it.
And now what?
construct a roof
Okay
I can do that
What's a roof called?
Floor?
Uh
It says wall
Oh rooftop
Okay got it
It's weird how you have to click it twice
Move your subfeeve console to a shelter location
In the construction tab
Okay
Let me see
Structural
Uh
Change set
Special
Um
Water
Yeah I
I don't know where the water is.
Is this water? Can I drink this?
Yeah, I can.
No, we're good, guys. Everything's fine.
Okay, so how do I move this thing?
Okay, manage, maybe F?
Enable, associate,
storage, subfief console.
Okay, it doesn't even let me F.
Is it just, like, move?
Use, no power?
I don't get it.
I mean, like, if I click on this,
I click on it with a tool.
Change set, maybe?
No?
Move.
So if I'm...
Now I can't put it anywhere.
But...
No, boss.
Okay.
So...
Okay, it says move.
Pick up buildable.
Got it.
Okay.
Construct to interact with a small storage container.
Okay.
All right.
Let's see.
How do I do that?
The fuck is it?
20 minutes for that?
I'm not a fast learner.
Okay, so we're gonna go ahead and make this here.
And what's this?
A fuel-powered generator.
Okay, let's loot this too.
There we go.
All right, deposit fuel cells and the generator power to the shield.
Okay, quick deposit.
Nice.
Nice.
Nice.
Keep your base safe from the sandstorms.
Well, that's good.
Just keep the generator fueled or the storms or tear at your walls.
And it goes without saying, don't build on open sand.
Uh-huh.
Seal your base, off-worlder.
Maintain good water discipline, and it will keep you alive.
You've done well licking flowers and sucking sap,
but you need a consistent source of water.
And the best source out here is blood.
Extract it, store it, refine it and drink it.
Or if you're really desperate.
Man, don't mind throwing up.
Actually, don't drink it, unless you really have to.
Okay, craft a blood extractor.
Oh shit, what's this?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Okay, let me put some of this stuff in there.
Put some of the salvage metal in there, too.
I'm not sure if this is the right decision, but I'm going to do that for now.
Yeah, thank you very much.
Okay, craft of blood extractor.
Okay, so blood extractor.
Alright
Start sucking people off for water
That's actually what I'm doing
And I do a blood sack too
Which plant power
Oh so I can't craft from inside my base
I have to actually loot the items myself
Okay
Um we do it now
Can sort blood in a bloodshaction tool okay
Craft a small blood sack
All right
So then I have to go to a scavenger camp
And kill somebody and get the stuff
Locate and kill scavengers
All right
Well let's go over there
We're gonna do that
We gotta find some people to kill them
My first impression so far with the game is that
It's really not great, honestly
I'm just gonna be on...
I'm just really that great
Like I just...
I'm gonna try and put it in a little bit more time though
Bitch, bitch
bitch that's right
Okay, so 7 is the exanguinator
Um, so I equip this item, but it doesn't do anything.
What?
Hold it?
I am.
Hold the button seven.
Right click.
Okay.
Uh, why is it that, like, let me try this one.
Bags in your inventory?
No, it's number eight on my slot.
So maybe it has to be in my inventory for me to do it?
No, that didn't work.
Oh, no, now it's...
working okay research blood purifier there you go crouch makes easier do it just I mean I don't
know like what the fuck okay so and there's no like indicator that like okay whatever it does matter
all right so research purifier okay let's try that researching purifier let's do this there we go
and interact the blood purifier in your base okay let's go back to the base let's do it there is an indicator
Oh, it wasn't clear to me.
Yeah, I mean, I'm a pretty, uh, I'm a pretty big idiot, but I still like, I, yeah, it's, this is confusing to me.
Clear is mud, yeah.
It's not clear enough.
Yeah, I mean, like, I feel like if you, if you use something, it doesn't work, this should tell you why.
But, all right, so let's see what I need to do now.
Okay, so I need a blood purifier.
So it's probably refineries, yeah.
confinering put it right there and then uh use processing capacity deposit blood
you're probably feeling it by now off world uh-huh spice it's everywhere on arachis
the air the sand the blood it prolongs life expands consciousness and triggers some very
into dreams.
Okay.
Um, oh, what's this?
You wanna respond to me?
Uh, I had a spice stream.
Is that what they call it nowadays?
Okay, what do you say?
What's he saying?
This seems like a problem.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah, true.
Yeah, real true.
Yeah, yes.
I agree, for sure.
Um, what do I do here?
here. Okay, uh, follow your inner site to the, uh, first trial. Okay. Let's go back and we'll look at,
I should probably try to build the other, uh, oh wait, no, not that. Okay, uh, D.
Just try and build another roof, right? Yeah. Turn blood in the water. I did. I thought I did,
didn't I? Okay, processing rate. Yeah, yeah, this is fine. Yeah, so, uh, if I drink, okay, I can't drink. Okay,
anymore. Quick deposit. All right. We'll put in the fuel cells as well. Follow my vision.
Okay, I've got to go over that way. Let's go over there. This is going to take a while to get over there.
So, in general, like, how do I, I'll talk a little bit about the game after, like, let me,
this is how big the map is. Pretty big world. Actually, yeah, pretty big map, pretty big world.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know how much, like, uh, difference there is, but, you know,
Yeah. So can other players loot your house if it doesn't have four walls? Probably not.
I don't know where that sound is. Probably not a big deal. Yeah, let's not worry about it.
Reminds me of it shrouded. I think that this game is kind of, um, um, it's sandy. Yeah, it's sandy.
There's a lot of sand. I mean, you've hardly played, though. I hate that. I hate that people say that.
I really do.
I think it's the worst
it's the worst way to talk about it.
I do.
I think it's so silly.
Like if you're playing a game
and it's not enjoyable,
no, I'm not going to get eaten by a worm.
Why would I keep down a worm?
Fuck no.
I'm going to die to the sun, probably.
That's what's going to happen.
Monters will sweep the sand.
I don't know.
You haven't played it for 20 hours yet.
Yeah, I mean,
I'll tell you this.
What?
That's a long boy.
Is that bad? I think it's bad, right?
Shit.
Okay, let's go over here.
Yeah, but we'll try the first trial.
We'll see how that is.
Because that's what's gonna be like a...
Is this a bad gun?
Pick up? What's that? Intel.
Oh, I see. They're like research points.
Yeah, uh, there's a lot of things.
Oh shit.
Give me a minute. I gotta stay focused.
I'm gonna try to shoot this bitch.
Jesus.
Why would anybody use that if they could just use the knife?
You?
Up there at the top.
I'm gonna go get them.
Nice, bro. You got him.
Die, God, God.
J.D. Vance, new tweet.
Let's see what happens.
So I think, like, for example, like, there's a lot of, like, weird things where it's, like,
if you have a blood sack that's in your load out, but you don't have it in your inventory,
it doesn't work.
So, I think that's, like, there's a lot of things like this that are, like, really confusing.
And I could see that confusing people because, like, the item is automatically,
equipped to your load out, but you can't use it.
Okay.
Fresh Journal?
No, I need to go in through here.
Where's this guy?
Oh, he's dead.
It's not.
It works, though?
Well, it didn't work for me.
It's really, like, it was really confusing for me.
Like, I'm the kind of person that, like, if, like, if, like, unironically, if somebody
wants to test if a game is confusing, have me play it.
Because if there's a way to be confused by something, I will find out how to do that.
Like for me, like, I misunderstand everything.
Does my understand as everyone can?
Yeah, like, I have a huge, like, I just, I don't, I don't look at the world the way other people do.
Like, and that's a big problem in my life.
Uh, let's go this one.
Like, I'm totally, like, my, my viewpoints on things are very, very different.
Wow, Brain?
Well, it's not really that.
It's like, when I see something that isn't, like, working properly, I just immediately get confused by it.
I think I have to go this way.
So I don't know what to do.
That's a good thing?
I don't know.
I mean, like, I feel like there's a lot of games that aren't confusing.
And, like, usually video games that are good aren't confusing.
Like, Expedition 33 wasn't confusing.
And, you know, like, Taney Grail fall of Avalon wasn't confusing.
I don't agree with that.
I think that if a game's confusing, it's probably the...
It's probably the game's fault and not the player.
Like, there's tons of games that aren't confusing.
Yo?
Okay.
Hey.
Hey.
Yo.
Okay.
Walk mode on.
Interact with the altar and complete the trial.
Inhale to spice.
What's this?
Okay.
Like, for example, like Neo 3 yesterday wasn't confusing at all.
The weight of a kindly god is a fearful thing.
Oh.
Do you understand why?
Wall.
Wall.
God gave us the burning eyes of Al-Lathe of the Kitab Al-Ibar.
Rest be like...
Do you fair, you're frank, confused by Taney Grail until you played off-stream?
Um, no, no...
Oh, let me guess, I have to...
Pretty simple.
Um, okay.
No, I don't think I was confused that much by Taney Grail.
Like, I just didn't know what to do.
And after I leveled up a little bit more on stream, I was okay.
Offstream, I...
Offstream, I...
Suffering was a thing we came to know what in our so.
Rakis, we found it, we will...
Um...
Oh, it's right there.
I have to watch out for Saramon's eye.
One ten, we were made to...
They denied us the harsh.
Never.
Oh!
Uh, I think I can't go this way.
Uh-huh.
Okay, so it does work that way.
All right, I was kind of curious what would happen if I actually just like didn't pay attention,
But now I know.
I just have to wait for it to close the eye.
Me.
Wait, never mind.
Is New World better than this?
Let me finish this first.
I think this should be end of it.
Yeah.
Ibn Kaltaiba defiance leads to thought.
Okay.
Those who suffer.
Remember Harmonetep, be la kaifa.
True, awaken.
Oh shit.
Connecting to Riflin? Okay.
Wait, did I...
...any time there's this, a button in the middle, I...
I just click it at a... I just do that, right?
That's the first thing I do, I just...
It put this shit on my screen.
I say, get it off the screen.
I didn't even read that shit, bro.
Okay.
Would that be an option?
I don't know.
Mm-hmm.
Still there, off-worlder.
Okay.
Your signal drifted for a moment.
No matter.
All right.
The thought occurs.
When the Sartikar began their purge,
Mithriman was slaughtered.
The ones that were not abandoned their caves,
leaving valuable resources behind.
valuable resources that just might contain the makings of a steel suit take what you
need their ghosts will not object okay what you think so far I'll talk about when I
get back I'll get my my first do a universe in a down like that much cool um what
jerky I did dunes for super nerds and super nerds alone I don't really think so
Yeah, I don't know about that.
Maybe I'm a super nerd, but I always liked Dune.
I thought Dune was really cool.
So, what do I think about this game?
How honest do you guys want me to be on a scale of one to Tim?
The Chim?
I think the combat sucks.
I compare my experience playing this the first time,
but my experience playing New World,
there's not even in the same universe.
I mean, like, I just, like, I compare this game,
so what games are,
similar to this game.
Probably once human is
a close comparison to this game.
I think the movement
is
this a bad guy? That's a good guy.
The movement is okay.
Once human ain't bad.
I know, but it's like a close
comparison. Like I just, whenever I'm playing this game,
it reminds me that I should
be playing another game.
Like, that's kind of the way that I feel about it.
Like the graphics for the game are, like again, like New World has better graphics.
I think New World looks a lot better than this game.
I think Once Human looks also a lot better than this game.
And would you say combat in Once Human is better?
I like it more.
I mean, I don't know if it's better.
I feel like combat in both games is kind of mediocre, but at least the gunplay is more focused.
Um, like, like the combat, I mean, you haven't even left the beginner area?
No, no, I will not tolerate any excuses.
I will not hear any reasons for why it's okay for it to be mediocre.
I don't want to hear it.
I played once human, it's fun immediately.
I play New World, it's fun immediately.
I play Lost Dark, it's fun immediately.
I play this, it's not.
Sure seems like it's not the game, sure seems like it's not my fault.
You just suck?
Okay.
I guess I suck.
It's not gonna make me like the game.
Come, I don't give a shit.
Yeah, that's just really what I feel about.
I mean, no, I'm not gonna like...
Someone wants to say it's my fault.
Where's my base?
It's over there.
It's a survival game?
Well, I wanna die then.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm gonna ask you something.
Why is it a survival game?
Why? Why? Why does it have these mechanics in?
And so, like this sun thing.
It was like V rising for immersion.
Mmm.
Mm.
Can I get in this?
No.
I think I can get back to base.
Isn't the whole point of, uh, isn't it's rival the whole point of Dune?
I mean, honestly, that's not even really like, I don't care about the water and shit like
that.
Like, I don't care about that.
Uh, like the sun meter and the water meter.
Okay, right.
I mean, like, I, I don't think they really improve the game.
I want to see if the, if the sandworm's gonna eat me.
I don't really see them like making the game better
it's just like kind of there
oh no I'm getting burned alive
uh oh oh there's water over there
if I just click on this thing I get the water
the least interesting thing about the Dune universe is the weather
yeah I mean like I just uh
dehydration
that's bad that's really bad
maybe I can
and also like that's not really
I don't know like I just
just see like this game's like just another one of the same like survival type games that I've played a
bunch and I don't really see it being like super exciting or interesting at all like the combat
just like kind of shitty and so it's like generic yeah it's just like super generic and like the story
the way they tell the story I think it's like kind of stupid and like I don't have like a lot of I mean I
this is just like my first impressions of the game so like I don't have this like this isn't really
manicured I haven't really thought about this at all it you're just literally like asking me like what do I think about the game like as I've been playing it for like the past like hour
if I wasn't on stream I would have already quit as soon as like I couldn't figure out like how to move that thing around
I'm just like okay this is stupid like the UI I think sucks
stupid is that bad?
Yeah, I mean, I just, it's not really for me.
It's hella boring.
Yeah, and I don't know.
I mean, like, maybe I'm being an asshole a bit,
and that's probably true,
but I also could be right
and also being an asshole at the same time,
which is possible.
And so, tutorial must be obvious and flawless.
Well, it's also, like, I don't know, I mean, it's just,
it's boring, it's literally just running around
This is the game.
I don't know.
Like, I just, again, I compare it to, like, my first impressions,
like, my first day playing, like, New World or whatever.
And it was just, I mean, it's not even the same universe, right?
You just load out, right?
If I had just a deposit blood.
Okay, there we go.
All right, good.
This isn't the same genre either, though.
Well, I guess the genre isn't for me.
like i i mean i don't know what like why comparing it to new world though given that it's an
mmo was they called an mmo i mean i say it's similar to a new world than valhine
no i mean i remember seeing him call it an m m m m m mow they removed the m m mow tag yeah okay well
that makes sense i thought the tags were chosen by the community though
walking around desert it's so boring yeah maybe the endgame content
is what people hyped the game for.
Imagine playing for one hour a while.
Never experiencing the endgame content.
This isn't even a mo.
It's like a hundred hour game to end game.
Well, if you want me to play it more than an hour,
you should have made the first hour good.
Worship.
Why do I have to invest more than an hour
to play a game and have fun?
Who decided that?
What a ridiculous concept.
It was fun almost immediately.
Yeah, Powell World was fun almost immediately.
There's also the possibility,
and I apologize I'm eating while I'm talking.
Let me finish eating this and I'm going to talk.
So I'm just hungry.
I thought the gamers have these crazy coat comments.
Like, just wait for the 20th hour.
You'll love it.
Probably because they're having fun
and they're disappointed that I'm not having fun playing the game that they enjoy.
And I understand that.
I get it.
But I'm just giving my thoughts and my opinions on it
and how I feel about it.
Trout likes June better than Arc.
That's crazy.
Well, I'm glad he's having fun.
You know, like, great.
Good for him.
So, once humans way better, too.
Yeah.
I feel like why would I want to invest in playing this game
whenever once human came out and it's better?
And that reigns better than this?
Yeah, all games are for all people.
Because IGN said so?
Why don't know?
You like easy story mode games, like basic millennials?
If that was true, then I'd like this game.
All you do is sit in front of something and hit it until it dies.
There's been no difficulty in challenge in this game at all.
Like the hardest thing for me to do is avoid an eye and I just have to wait for the eye to close and I just walk by it
Like
If I like easy games, I'd be having a fucking blast right now
I'd be loving it
This isn't your type of game you prefer action games
I mean isn't this an action game? You have action combat
Sorry
You keep eating a lot of time
You mean witch or four will push games away ahead like which is real? I think so
I hope so
I think also like are you able to
see numbers in the game like uh because they're turned off as far as i know display i mean i don't see
a way that you can see numbers right i've never seen it yeah you like to not read swing a sword
and tank call damage without thinking that's your type of game i mean wouldn't i be happy about
this game then yeah i mean i feel like this isn't really a thinking game yeah i mean i feel like
that's a i mean this isn't really much of a of a you know like mental efficiency game
you're excited for your dying light reveal tomorrow maybe
it's a pvp focus game
yeah i have no interest in playing a pvp focus game really
yeah i just i just don't have any interest like i mean
like for example like if you just look at for example like go back and watch like me
playing like neo yesterday versus like today
and you're gonna see like a totally different human being
like that's just the truth like i was so excited i was having fun playing the game
like I was fighting bosses, I was getting killed.
Like, it's just, this just isn't, it's just, it's not, it's just not a fun game.
Like, the combat, like, it's just shit, like, the game just sucks.
I mean, the graphics suck, the story is weird, the dialogue is weak, the, uh, like the fucking,
I just, I, I don't, it's not for me, man.
Yeah.
It's just not your game.
Yeah, it's not like game.
It's not engaging.
No, it's just not engaging.
Like, sorry.
Sorry, I just...
I gotta see what I think, and that's what I think, man.
I'll just turn this off.
I don't want to even look at the game.
Like, I mean, I have, if you look at it here...
I mean, I have how many hours in Valheim?
Where is it?
I mean, I put 300 hours in Valheim, probably a bit less.
I'd probably left the game on for a bit,
but, like, there was definitely that.
And let's see, what else besides this?
I mean, I'm sure there's a handful of other games, too.
I was, like, in Shrouted, I played that.
I mean, I mean, I played Roomscape Dragon Wilds.
I loved that game.
That was super fun.
I played in Shrouted.
That was really fun.
That's also a survival game, too, and I enjoyed that a lot.
Pow World was a survival game.
I mean, it had survival elements to it.
Like, that was really fun, too.
And, you know, like, I don't know.
I put, like, 300, like, probably not that many hours into it.
I leave the game on overnight to, like, make them work overnight while I was sleeping.
But, yeah, I mean, Corekeeper, yeah, Corekeeper was another one.
Like, I played Corekeeper a lot, too.
And so it's just like, I hear this, and people are like, oh, well, you didn't play this part or, like, this isn't your game.
But, like, I feel like I've played a lot of other games that are like this, and I had a lot of fun playing the other games.
But I'm not really having fun playing this game.
And to me, I just don't really want to do it.
Yeah.
that that's really it i mean i'm sorry that's comical how bad the game is really maybe right i mean like i just
this is my this is my thinking and this is the way my brain works okay is that if the game is
if the game is bad at the beginning it's going to be bad at the end like that's really and i feel
like i've never really been wrong about that like what game is bad at the at the beginning and it's
not bad at the end. I feel like that's the case all the time. Wow. What do you mean?
Final Fantasy, like, wow was fun right at the beginning. I had so much fun playing Wow.
Final Fantasy 14. I thought it was fine at the beginning. I didn't dislike that at all.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. No, I thought the beginning of that game, like the, yeah, maybe that
game was kind of rough at the beginning. But that was like kind of just getting your bearings in it.
Yeah, sure. You can be playing mop? No, not really. But yeah, yeah, I just not seeing it. But I'm
to go and eat some food and chill out for the day and relax.
Anyway, guys, thanks a lot for watching.
I really appreciate it.
Thank you, boys.
And I'll be back on tomorrow.
Hopefully we'll have a little bit more fun then.
So until next time, boys.
Push.
Yep.
