 Okay, well I got to the first save point yesterday and then I died like an hour after that, so I was pretty, and I died in a really demoralizing way, so I didn't feel like playing. I'd already been playing for four hours, so I was pretty tired anyways, but uh, you cannot get the finger unless you beat the entire game in one segment, so that is what I'm setting out to do today. So even though I got to the last checkpoint yesterday, I need to start over. Hopefully I would prefer to have a deathless run, but I don't believe that I am capable of doing such a thing, but here we are on the grind again. I think the final time for this run will be five or so hours, which makes it slightly longer than a DOOM 2016 Ultra Nightmare 100%. So it's not prohibitively long, it will definitely be the longest thing I've done, but it's not like so long that it'll take me over like eight or ten hours, because there's a line that hasn't been crossed with five hours, I would say. Six hours is sort of like the upper limit, if I have to play something from six hours or more, then I don't really want to, that's way too much. I will probably die if I play continuously for that long, so hopefully this isn't going to take that long. What was cheap as my death was yesterday, I don't think it was unavoidable. You have to have prior knowledge of the game to avoid it. So, I mean, we had reached the point where I was just kind of playing off the instinct, or I didn't know where everything was anymore. I mean, I don't really know this game that well either, for the most part, but I played through this first part enough times to have a good handle on it. I didn't know that the Exploder spawned there, and maybe if I had the Force Gun, I would have been able to repel the attack, and then I just totally beefed the thing that killed it. I survived that, but I had no health left, and then when the final Charger attacked me, I just didn't. There was a little physics obstacle in front of me or something, and it ate the stasis, so I just died. Maybe if I had been using the Force Gun, I would have been able to repel the attack, but overall I'm pretty sure that that was complete bullshit, and I blame the game for that. Today will be different. One thing I really don't like about this game is the way that dead bodies will despawn so quickly. Like, they're your main source of resources. It's just one aspect of the game where the limitations of the technology is the limitation on the gameplay itself. Policy I'm enacting for this run is don't stomp enemies and when you've cleared the encounter, just try your best not to get greedy. I was saying yesterday, greed is the number one killer for these runs for me. I always die because I'm trying to save resources for later. It's more important to survive now. One thing you need to think about is surviving the encounter you're in hard for, but you don't get to checkpoint. You can't, like, reduce that for me. I have more resources for later. Oh, med. Media med. Pounce first then get around the stasis. I don't think you can break through this. It's too many physics objects in the way I don't want to stasis. This one was it. That one. Oh god. Yeah, I sure hope all this is still here when I come back. Oh, far so good. That's, like, getting proper shot at. I mean, on the one hand, it's cool that they have physics objects around, but on the other hand, it's really detrimental to gameplay. Like, it constantly is eating stasis. I guess that's part of the gameplay. Again, it's slightly more realistic, but I'm not sure if I'm a big fan of it. Isn't there a body in here? Again, they just disappear way too fast. And maybe it had to be that way back in the day, but definitely not in 2021. I guess I can't fault them for that, but it's really unfortunate. Like, whenever they get around to the Dead Space 2 port, it really, it should be, like, a top priority. Let me have opportunities to get hit, though. Pressing the next button. Oh, just go ahead and do this. Oh, is that a medium med kit? I would love to pick that. Okay, med tech base, though. Damn, I'm doing really good this one. Hits priorities. And I need a power node for after this. But I have one more power node than I usually do at this point, somehow. I think it's because I was selling those small med kits to afford a new one. Although I ran out of health at last. Maybe I should be saving up those health kits for when the game gets a little harder. Oh, there he is. I was thinking, like, is there something supposed to jump out of here? Yeah, I'm starting to learn. Suddenly things aren't looking too good for me. Well, I was doing pretty good up until that. Pick that ammo. Rescue! Impress and eat! Definitely want some extra health. I'm off for now. You know what? No, that's a bad idea. Let me know. Don't be greedy. If you, like, lose health, then it'll automatically heal you when you upgrade. Like that. Node, but you have to lose health. And you know what? I think that's not worth it. I'm just gonna go ahead and increase my max health now. Just avoid getting cheesed by some of the one-shots. Take your time, guys. Just take your time. I ain't got anything else to do. Any day now. Oh, nice! Blue sign! Fucking asshole. Bullshit sometimes. What the fuck was that? I walked up on these, hit me. I have a book! Fuck this. This guy's alive. I forgot. I remember about two. I forgot the last one. This time I remember. Again, I don't have anything to do with these people. I don't know what they're getting angry at me for. This game just throws scares in just for the hell of it. It's kind of stupid. Because this is a horror game. I don't have scares. Yeah, here we are. Be careful. Things have to hit box when they die. Scoot the bleed. I'd like to check if I can just run through this next one. I'm dead. I'm just going! I'm running away! You can run through. May not have been the most optimal choice. Definitely. I'm low on health now. I was doing so good before. I like the flashing lights, guys. Why are there so many kids here? Don't shoot until you can see the little whites of their eyes. Have you got like a little thing I can grab? I think there was one more of those. Yeah, this game is a... 80% me just making my way through the game handling encounters, you know, fairly well. Then there's a 20% of times where I get absolutely destroyed by everything in the game and it costs me everything I have. It's great. I'm getting attacked in this elevator, maybe. You're almost here. I'll be waiting by the shuttle. Oh boy, look at that. Did I trust you? Well, you didn't have a choice, Isaac. I told you there was a cure and you came running. Why are you doing this? Why can't everyone just leave me alone, huh? You're a dangerous secret, Isaac. Earth God won't leave you alone because they're afraid you'll destroy their marker. You did build it. Well, that's why we brought you here. To build markers for us. To spread glorious convergence to the entire galaxy. Give me the fucking cure and let me go. No, we don't want to cure you, Isaac. We need that precious little head of yours just the way it is. Now would you escort Isaac to the shuttle and put him in stasis? The last thing we want is for him to die. Press E! Press E! Those bullets are hitting pretty close. What is this thing? That's not even the most ridiculous sequence in this game, I think. Prepare to use stasis. These fuckers... I can guarantee that's not the last of them. There's a store back there, but I'm not going to bother. I'll wait for the next store. Eh, pretty good. Here's what he's doing. I hope that nothing else is spawned in that room back there. Or if it didn't, like, wander it out. It's not waiting to ambush me. The guy is going to be in here. Hold on. Still in there? What the fuck is going on? Take this nice and slow. Come and get me, you fuckers. Come and get me. Just send slow. Those spitters now. Do it again, please. Probably just armed them with, like, an object or something. I've said that a couple of times, but... I can't seem to remember to do it. I swear to God, if I find ammo for anything in here, to be immersion-broken, who the hell keeps eye-powered ammo, and the children of daycare. Take a train. Babyhead. Yeah, pulse around in daycare. I get it. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. I hurt my hand. But it just looks like I'm going to continue hacking. It's not like, hey, you know, foreign person detected. I somehow feel like a segment where you shoot a bunch of kids from a cool platform does not go so well today. Man, I imagine. They're little boys. Demo check, not doing super well. At least with pulse rounds. Another segment where I have to use a lot of pulse rounds. I've got a lot of health and a lot of pulse rounds. He looks twitchy. I don't trust him. Move. Ellie, I need him to be not dead. I'll march into the hub. But if he does anything stupid, anything, I will shoot him. Gearing me up for the big guy is actually not that hard to beat. What famous last words? Oops. Probably could use that. They managed to escape the CEC facility this morning. Maybe equipment pilot class 4. You? I guess the calm links aren't based on electricity, I guess. Oh, see? He's still calling me. Why can't she just call me? Everything's still stasis. Oh, didn't that explode? Do it again, please. He's moving his head off. How can he still protect me? Take some extra meds just in case. This is not a fun segment. This is where the game starts to get serious. Good thing I brought all those meds, I guess. Jesus Christ. Horse gun. Alright, we made it back to the original checkpoint. Be good. A good friend, the wall hanger. What? Probably gonna lose some paint in this one, I feel. Pretty well. Might even want to go back to the store and deposit some shit. You know what? Yeah, I'm gonna go back for now. Pretty far away. Very far away. I'll also soldier on. Oh, this shit me. Oh, God, I sure hope this glitch isn't. Okay, they're all here, it looks like. Maybe the boots are only strong enough to work when you have zero gravity. That would actually be a good explanation. I accept that. But I don't get cheesed by this segment. This is instant death if you fuck this up. It's just like a video game. Oh, my God, I thought that was the end of the level. Oh, no. What have I done? I thought that was the building they used those to crash into. I was like, huh, I was getting closer. Oh, my God. That's a fucking dumb way to die right there. Oh, there goes the deathless one. I was just saying too. Instant death. I should have been paying attention. I was just going up instinct.
