V Rising is now 30% off on Steam for a limited time only! wehy.pe/y/2/IronPineapple As a quick channel update, yes, I'm still playing the Elden Ring DLC and I'm finishing up a challenge run for it. I'll probably make one or two more videos on the DLC? Just depends on if I think they're entertaining enough. But yeah, super fun doing another video with the Keebler squad (Raz and yakko) for a game that's actually pretty good, hope you guys enjoy! Also I mention it briefly at 7:33, but you can easily tweak the server settings for V Rising and it's seemingly encouraged by the community. So if you're like me and wanna focus more on the combat, just increase the drops from resource nodes and reduce crafting times. We did x2 resources and x6 crafting/refining speeds. Felt like a sweet spot that didn't upset the balance/progression, highly recommend.

it's a shame pine cut out every clip of me and raz carrying... it's elden ring raid mode all over again...

Pine cut the part where I soloed Simon Belmont. Kinda cringe…

"Fuck it, Rat Mode" followed by the explanation "it means when you eat something you probably shouldn't and then don't shower for an extra day" is one of the funniest and most relatable things I've ever heard.

I really love how some of the bosses are basically just regular jobs, but super powered. Like, we have the fisherman who can fish up sea monsters to attack you, and the glassblower who shoots molten glass that can cool into shrapnel bombs. Makes me wonder what they could do with weirder stuff like a cobbler(shoemaker).

Haunted house? No, this is a haunted home

Funny, i played vrising on brutal with one friend of mine, the grandama that keeps running from you actually turns into a demon when reachs 50% health, kinda sad that this doesnt happen on normal mode, the brutal add alot of mechanics to bosses

12:23 Pine: "I've never been good at this part of games" (decorating) 51:00 (and onward) Pictured: Pine being good at this part of games

You should definetely do a playthrough on Brutal. It's not just a harder game mode, the bosses actually get new mechanics as well, and a lot of them are actually really cool. Brutal makes you feel like you're playing a souls like, you have to dodge every hit from bosses, as it takes two or three shots to die in a fight.

Please, please do a part 2. I need more of you guys in V rising.

Love this game. I adore how they let you change pretty much every setting, to make things as easy, hard, grindy or relaxed as you want. I jacked up all the item drops to reduce resource grind and pretty much turned off the castle heart decay to give myself a really relaxed adventure. I put about 60 hours into the game before I beat the last boss and finished with it. Highly recommended.

Your vampire looks like it Lives In A Society

16:03 Oh wow even the sitting pose is a reference. It's just Alucard in helsing when that dude came into his basement looking for a fight

The shade mechanic is good because survival games always have the "good" time of day and the 'bad" time of day. AKA night. This game flips the script. Night is the best time to be out. Day is a bad time to be out but unlike other survival games, there's counter play. You're not bumbling in pitch darkness. That's why it's super satisfying as a mechanic.

I absolutely love that mobs actually have basic factions and would fight each other, bosses included.

For some reason I find it mad infuriating that Pineapple doesn't rotate the camera during combat to keep the target in sight lol. It was one of the first things I started doing when I played. It certainly is a fun game. The survival/crafting mechanics are not everyones cup of tea but you can adjust them. In fact the entirely game is amazingly adjustable to be how you want it to be, eg if you're playing solo turn off the limit on teleporting with stuff in your inventory.

As someone who GREATLY enjoyed your Remnant 2 video I’m glad we get another one of you, Yakko, and Raz playing together. Y’all are very entertaining.

>"Actually Good Vampire Game" >checks the video >it's not Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines

"If you wanna see more you can play the game yourself with the link in the description" (everyone laughing) (fades away) "...ummm, do you guys believe in god?"

Awesome video Pineapple! V Rising is so good

Fun times Mr. Iron P. Apple. For those that would be irritated by the occasional sun waiting (Im in the camp of these folk that I think its just on the right side of annoying that I enjoy playing around it) you can adjust how much of the day is sun in your world/server settings. Regardless on your sun feelings, I would recommend disabling the teleport limitations on items, feels bad unlocking the buildable waygate and not really getting to use it cause of what you're carrying most of the time.

dont we all have a 'misery score' and our own version of fish to fufill it :,)

12:26 i like the fact that the see-trough follows your friends, it's such a simple but great feature

More like P rising lmao gottem

I love how they're wondering what kind of vampires they are WHILE they chase and terrorize what is clearly a somewhat elderly woman around watching her cower in fear

Best part of sponsored Iron Pineapple content is extra Iron Pineapple content - thank you sponsor for this treat

Oh this game is great! I don't usually like survival games at all, but the perspective makes building good looking bases relatively easily, and it's so customizable you can get rid of some survival game elements you might not like that much. Besides, it's the best way to experience the classic "lives in a Fancy Castle, raids villages, has a weakness to garlic" fantasy which not even Vampire the Masquerade does justice.

It came out 7 seconds ago, but the entire video is pretty good

I would love to see you guys play this all the way to the end! This was so fun to watch!

That goreswine + chaos archer moment is peak V rising. I love that the world feels dynamic and the bosses would have actually fought each other because they're different factions so you can actually manipulate bosses into killing each other

"I kind of forgot I could turn the camera. I didn't even know we had this stuff." Literally me in every game.

This was such a fun watch, much like your Remnant 2 video. You guys have such great chemistry and it helps that you genuinely appreciate the game design. Thanks so much for all the work, it was a wild ride!

Thank you Pine and Friends. I've been thinking about getting this game and then you posted this and I fell in love with what I saw. I just bought it!! So hyped!

Another awesome Pine video. Love these long playthroughs

39:05 Average Fromsoft fan has never seen books anywhere else.

" Do you guys believe in god?" BROKE ME.

I am really happy you guys went for this, this is my so favorite game, extra long, PvP, PvE good boss fights and fully customizable and can play just with friends, just love this, first playthrought took me 70 hours, so definitely worth it

I'm so glad you bring that game, i loved so much and really liked the video, you guys showed a lot of the mechanics in the game and believe it or not there is even more cool things, algo if you are wandering, there is a harder difficulty and it change bosses moves and add a lot

The legendary trio returns

Super fun to watch you guys play! If you make a vid where you do the rest of the game I would def watch it!

I played this from day 1 of the 1.0 release up until Shadow of the Erdtree release, and is exactly what I'm going back to once I'm done with Elden Ring. Well... that and Darkest Dungeon 2. I'm in heaven this year

“Pine throwing strays out here!” “No, these are directed. They’re not strays.” - that was said so deadpan and cold 😂

I think we need more of this, it's so fun to watch

Brutal mode adds a ton of fun mechanics to the bosses. Beatrice in particular is a nice change. Highly recommended. It really makes you learn the mechanics. There's no face tanking. You just die if you screw up. Also makes you learn how to use counters and blocks. I solo'd the entire game. Some bosses like Octavian, you equip two shield or counter spells. Helps with his 4 charges too. You can do like dodge counter counter dodge. Also you guys definitely should've learned alchemy...you can make healing potions.

easily one of my favourite games and this was pretty fun to watch. wish i could see the rest of the of the play through tho.

I've been obsessed with this game for weeks now, even erdtree hasn't been able to steal my attention away.

I would love to see another video on this with the rest of the game!

That was super enjoyable and the game looks really cool !

Please part 2, this was so fun to watch :D

Solaire: "Praise the sun" . Vampire: "Mmm no thanks"

Our friend set up a server and it was a ton of fun to play. Finally ended up beating the last boss with like 6 people, it was a hard fuckin fight but I really like the game overall. (we also turned up resource drops by a bit, just to spend less time farming and more time killing bosses)

It makes me so happy seeing folks enjoying V Rising! I played it back in early access before it was officially released and it's come so far with all of the content they've added for it. Definitely one of my favorite isometric survival/crafting games :3.

idk why but this has become my favorite video. I have currently watched this 5 times,

7:35 Same dawg, I've been playing the game in early access for a long time, and I've almost always had resources and refinement max boosted. On the other hand, I also have my own HP turned down a lot, and Boss HP + Damage turned up to make it more spicy and terrifying. Weapon damage down and spell damage up, cause I felt like there's no real point to juggling my spells into my combos when weapons out-damage in the long run. I also made the nights longer than the days so that I can walk to and from areas without too much trouble, enabled use of portals whilst carrying all items, and turned the effects of silver and garlic way down. That's really something I adore about V Rising. My experience is probably way different from most, because you can just edit so many settings about your little world. 59:32 Here's a few tricks for avoiding damage, if you don't mind spoiling yourself a little. It's fun to find these things out for yourself, but I just wanna point out that, even in 1v1, he's not an unfair fight. I've only played the game solo, so I had more of a defensive playstyle. When you go to Feed on a low enemy, you become invulnerable whilst traveling towards the enemy. You can then attack to execute the enemy and end the Feeding immediately on arrival. This essentially allows for situational dodging. Keeping enemy minions alive at low HP is a good trick to keep in mind. Like you noticed with your sword, your actual dodge ability is not your only dodge. Having a dodge or a shield ability is very handy, but even outside of that, make sure to hold your dash, and hold your weapon abilities that allow dodging. Abilities like that spin are usually balanced by making turning around difficult for the boss. You are often dashing away from him, but that won't really help you. Instead, you should be dodging through him. I recommend keeping one of the dash abilities that allow you dodge twice in quick succession, such as the Chaos Dash. That way, you can dash through him, and then when he turns around, dash through him a second time. This buys you a lot of time to outlast him. If you then also have a shielding ability, such as the frost or unholy one, you can buy more time, then weapon dodge, and then your dash should be up again, if he isn't yet done spinning. The Slashers are pretty objectively the best weapons for defense, is what I've found. When you go invisible, instead of benefitting from the damage, just stay invisible. The boss will lose track of you, and just kinda stand there looking stupid. This buys you a few seconds of cooldown on your other abilities. This is especially useful with stuff like that spinning attack, as he just spins in place when he has no target to follow. This allows you to focus solely on dodging the projectiles that come outta him.

I would def watch a series of you guys playing this

would love to see a part 2 of this!

When the sponsored content is actually good

@56:30 LOOOOL hahahaha Raz & Yakko are pretty hilarious

Me and my friend just dove into this game two weeks ago, it’s surprisingly a blast. I had mixed thoughts before playing but then after playing it with friends it’s amazing. Never thought this kinda game would be up my alley but I can’t stop playing it 😂

I really love this game. Took me by suprise and it's so fun. Also add a lot of Quality-of-Life features that are missing in other games

Big game. Like how you do variety videos sometimes. You're a great commentator. Good job

That video was pure joy. I know it's sponsored but, I still wanna thank you for talking about this game. The more people playing, the better. ^_^

That was the most honest sponsored intro I've ever heard from a KZfaqr

I would love more of this, if you plan on playing more, this was highly entertaining, even if it were unedited

Absolutely loved this game while completing it, glad to see you guys enjoy it. The endgame bosses are some of the more fun pve ive played in a game for a long time, enjoy!

thnx for the video it is a great game honnestly ! long time didnt had so much fun on a game !

I now want a series of this

This was a great vid, dope looking game

I would not be opposed in the slightest to see more videos on this game!

I need a part 2. all my favorite bosses are in the later acts, i GOTTA see how you guys handle it.

i usually hate survival games but vrising was pretty fun some cool building mechanics aswell

Honestly, you're pretty much the only content creator I would trust to actually be enjoying the game they got paid to make a whole video for.

This is just 3 of my favorite gaming commentary KZfaqrs hanging out playing what legitimately looks like an incredibly good game.

Lolz this was fun :D Raz and Yakko are pretty funny haha, especially making fun of your home decoration choices :P

i rarely watch all the way through ur vids (not ur fault) but I did with this one and rlly enjoyed it, thx pine

I'm surprised you managed to miss this game until now :D I really think you would enjoy a brutal playthrough. It actually also gives the bosses more mechanics, some of which are just really really cool!

V Rising is actually really REALLY good, even for someone like me who doesn’t really like survival games

Looks really fun 🤩

Oh boy... another iron pineapple co-op game video!

Yoooo this game looks dope perfect timing

“You have to feed them fish so they don’t get too sad” … ok, I’m sold.

love your video, we need more videos like this

One of my favorite survival games. It’s hella worth.

Just one more episode of pine, raz, yakko adventures and we can have a compilation of them doing funny things

"how do you deal with this in solo ?" well, there is a few ways :P - Getting your gear to the correct level - keeping your dash to get out of the spin - using a barrier to block projectiles - healing potions - a high quality blood of the right type will help tremendously too You guys are making it a challenge for yourselves though, so that's fun to watch. Hopefully you guys will eventually check out the hardcore mode when you get more experience with it, so you can truly feel the difficulty of the bossfights :P Fun video btw, can't wait to see the the part 2 (fingers crossed, at least !)

I hope you guys keep playing till you reach the last boss. Will definitely test your skills and your build.

Best fisherman line, “watch out for THIS seaman” 🤣

This game is amazing I played through all of it twice in a month and had a blast. They have come so far from when early access launched to the state the game is now. They finely tuned everything. Highly recommend trying it for yourself and coming up with new builds. I did a lot of chaos magic and Illusion magic in a sorcerer build for my first run, then an attack speed, lightening man for my second.

I will watch any video that has Pine and the boys chillin together.

Love your videos

Actually one of my favorite videos of yours. Please finish this game.

watching you play with friends makes me feel like i have cool friends, cheers

As someone who has over 200 hours in this game, has played through all of the recent major updates on release I can safely say that this game is some of the most fun I've had playing solo as well as with friends. I would highly recommend it.

I would love a part 2!

V Rising is a very well made and fun game. My better half and I love to co-op it.

We need more of the 3 of you playing this together

idk if it’s the game or the squad but I really enjoyed this like…I want multiple full series of these nerds

Honestly you grabbed a great sponsorship. The game is sick and more people should try it.

yea i have played this game, most of the time making bases solo still when i played it i saw a lot of potential for the game

I played this game when it initially started its early access, but back then stopped during act 2 because some things were really annoying / bothering. This video and lots of comments got me hyped again, gonna start a new run tomorrow
