The night is long and full of terrors.
But when Lemon has access to molotovs, well, that's a different story.
Can you beat Vigil : The Longest Night with only molotov consumables? I guess we'll find out.
Don't forget! If you want a "God****it, Tony!" shirt, the campaign only runs until August 24th!
All shirts will be made and shipped after the campaign ends, so you'll get your shirt sometime between September 1st-14th! And yes, the campaign is global :)

I feel it’s now Lemon’s mission to throw firebombs (or a suitable flammable explosive substitute such as molotovs) at anything in every game. Can’t wait to see him do so in a game like Battlefield or CoD, where you’re *very* limited on the throwable explosives, but the objectives can mostly be rushed w/o killing.

You mean to say you are adding firebomb DLC? Or just bake them in? I'd argue that if baked in some bosses immune to the DOT but vulnerable to the base damage, and others who do the reverse can add challenge, without making the fire bombs utterly useless. Heck make one boss take base damage and heal from the fire effects, forcing cluster attack strategies needed.

Fists can be very powerful since you can enchant gear with buffs that boost your unarmed damage. They're generally not as good as the other options but if you really want to do fists only you can definitely do it and it's not as much of a challenge run as it would be in most other games.

Ey Lemon nice video like always. Seeing you speeding through another game with firetovs is exciting. I see where you are going with the balancing issues. Even the last boss takes a lot of damage from a simple consumable. Why are firetovs actually that good in sooo much games? Is that kind of an inside joke a lot of people missed for years, made by the Devs?

@TheBacklogs Жыл бұрын

Either its an inside joke, or devs have stopped testing consumables altogether due to every gamer having the "i might need it later" mentality. All i know is things burn real good and i wont stop/cant stop.

Like that one transformation fetishist game that -(is completely devoid of sexual content and thus an utterly pointless and incredibly rare exception)- had drams of lava as currency.

(depending on how much internal damage you did)

Fun fact: Molotovs are named after the Soviet foreign minister during WW2. This is because during the Winter War Molotov made promises that the Soviet bombers would only be dropping food baskets (take a guess how wrong that was) so the Finns starting calling Soviet bombs Molotov’s food baskets. When the Finns found out that burning alcohol makes a great anti-tank weapon they ended up calling it Molotov’s cocktail because the Finns have great humor
