This ranking went so hard. When rykard (probably my favourite boss (idk it changes so often)) got knocked out because of a coin toss my heart sank I was so sad. Great video 🗣️👍

How did lady butterfly and gyobu make the list over Isshin Ashina and the monk? Also seems weird that handler Walter and Ayer didn’t make it. My top 5 would probably be Sowrd Saint Isshin, Mohg, Gael, Demon Princes, and Genichiro

Damn, this video is gonna be great for dinner.

Well, a lot of games were axed because of marketing. And it's normal, if you don't have market you might as well throw your product away. If Windblown performs well they will try to supersede Dead Cells completely. But it probably won't, at least not as big, because you usually can't catch a lightning twice. In that case I can easily see more updates to Dead Cells in the future by... someone.

clearly the best souls fight is patches

I didnt even know there was Dead Cells drama. but this just sounds like a company that started out with passionate people getting corrupted and replaced with greedy money people. maybe that element isnt in full swing yet, but it's a classic story told by almost every company you can think of. the largest company I can think of that isnt fully corrupted by greed is Capcom... and they've been falling recently too, if also very slowly

1:39 ??????????????????????????? LOL

I don't know for sure what drama is going on with all that but i know that they shouldn't have finished dead cells hastily like that just let the evil empire do its thing gain your money and use that money for windblown you still have the rights for the game nobody is stealing it from you. I am completely with people who are boycotting against windblown and motion twin that was just wrong to stop dead cells like that we love dead cells we want more updates and the game's continuation. Nothing about the game was completed there were many legendaries which didn't have special affixes story and lore wasn't completed at all and many many more things. Game did have lots of room for new updates and it could have even been the best indie game ever. We want evil empire to work on dead cells once more again.

As someone who played EA release day one back in may 2016, Dead Cells failed long before all of this, tons of shitty update and balancing decisions

The Ship of Theseus problem in organizations is an interesting one. On the one hand, many large studios fire the entire production team after every game and only hire them back when they're ready to begin production of the next, with only small post-release debug-and-polish teams and pre-production teams staying on. But for really large corporations like that, culture is also often dictated by the management and senior leadership positions that are staying between titles. On the other hand, a very small group can easily have its culture changed by swapping out a single person, although if they do a good job of vetting potential new hires and only introducing one new person at a time and giving them time to absorb the company culture, they can perpetuate the company culture to a large degree. None of this works indefinitely, of course, but I'd say that from a company culture point of view, the company hasn't _necessarily_ changed. However, I would say there is a difference between saying "From the studio that brought you . . ." and saying "From the creators that brought you . . .", because while the company may not have changed, the people certainly have. Also, certain game leads can definitely claim a degree of credit on their own, although again, wording matters. This is particularly true for people highly associated with a particular title who have hand-picked an indie crew to make a spiritual (or even direct!) sequel, which is something we saw with everyone from Brian Fargo producing Wasteland 2 & 3 to all of the Japanese creators who have gone indie and made (or are making) spiritual sequels, from Mighty No. 9 to Bloodstained to Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes to the Double Kickstarter games.

I have 340 hours on dead cells, I have been playing it on and off since the early access days - to say the game was cut short is nothing short of obscene. I haven't even bought the DLC (I want to 100% the base game... i missed a lot of the newer updates), and still a new player would have well over a 100 hours of gameplay getting to 5 BC alone... I have been shouting from the rooftops that Dead Cells is the best supported game I have ever played, maybe only second to something like the binding of Isaac - the amount of love and care poured into this project is ridiculous. I think Dead Cells is more than a complete package, and while obviously having more content for dife hard fans is always a treat - I don't blame them on stopping development. In fact I was shocked development hasn't stopped earlier... If anything, I whole heartedly believe evil empire has simply run it's course and decided Dead Cells is a finished product... perhaps there were some internal disagreements about should be done next (there always are!), but if the final decision is to move on, I'll be looking forward to whatever they put out next.

Great indie drama joke 😁

Slightly misleading title but the video is very informative. I think it’s definitely odd, but also… dead cells to me does feel a bit complete. This is from the perspective of someone who just started playing the game last year, and has played it on and off since then, but it feels like the game is already so massive and like I’m never going to fully finish it all. This doesn’t mean I necessarily agree with MT or what they did (although it’s all just accusations so far), but I’m just glad this game has gotten so much content in the first place, and I look forward to both evil empire and motion twins next games

All of this being said, MAN windblown looks cool

Damn, that's sad!

I love dead cells, I should play it again, been a bit! Still haven't beaten the queen or gotten return to castlevania either

go see a video with a subject that matter guy is brown-absolutely disgusted i dislike and report

I think Sebastian is right.. with how much work those lads from EE put into the game, the Ship of Theseus analogy is the right one and after being absent for so long from this game, I don't know exactly how they can bring such a revelation that will change what we know so far and it feels kinda shitty that it seems like they're being snubbed at the last stretch.. For example, even if Blizzard pulled such a move back then when they used to be beloved, they would get some harsh reactions or hate their way, I think we've seen that with Diablo 3 and how trashing the original developers of Diablo 1 and 2 from Blizzard North have brought out the ire of the Blizzard fans against the new team that was handling Diablo 3. In the end there may be some more to this and I agree with your overall sentiment at the end, that is how we should proceed about this whole thing, even though I don't see how the story could change as there doesn't seem to be that much ambiguity here, we should always stay rational, level headed, because we can always strike hard with a protest with our wallets, without attacking people with verbal offense or accusations.. That last part should always be reserved for things that are without a shadow of a doubt proven correct and the ambiguity here is mostly out of respect for how EE is taking this and have chosen to present themselves, that's at least how I see it, I wish to respect them most of all, Motion Twin could be respected for making the game initially that started it all and I'm not going to take that away from them for sure, but y'know, there's also a bit of a difference in years between then and now. Either way, I hope for the best for Evil Empire and that is a sentence that I didn't think I would be saying today.. ^^

In chinese martial art movies, you see the two fighters go back and forth, blocking and hitting, like a well choreograph dance, playing Sekiro is the closet thing you get to that.

10:57 Nooooooo That's so sad man Dead cells is one of my favorite games and yet they destroyed it's future like this Deadge

Idk I think dead cells has already gotten enough content and wind blown deserves a chance. Plus it’s their property, motion twin can do whatever they want

If back 4 blood can market itself as ‘by the creators of left 4 dead’ then motion twin can certainly market themselves as the creators of dead cells

Company names I can rely on: FromSoft End of list. But, you can't tell me with a straight face that Fromsoft has ever missed Post Demon's Souls

If you feel bad about the PC version think about the mobile version The game's last update was december last year which isnt that far away... But the mobile version is like 3 or 4 patches behind the current PC version, we don't have Head costumes, many legendaries and traits and some reworked mutations At this rate the phone version will be just an old version in a way more uncomfortable platform to play

the game is out since 2017 ?! time flies so fast

Thanks for the lowdown, whole thing has been real confusing

So this is basically the "from the creators of left for dead" nonsense we had a few years ago.

Games have been defined by confusing and unidentified authorship forever. It's one of the reasons games are such a train wreck in consistency and outcomes. I'm sure someone clever could map out the heritage of games. Actually connect the dots to see what's under the hood and what worked and why. And from who. But so many gamers just live for the highs and crashes of hype and the wild excitement of the unknown and limitless promise of the next high. And so many companies live to buy and burn down brands and their devoted fan followers for profit. I don't think either of them want gamers to know what's real.

im just waiting for the last update on deadcells mobile

I'm two years too late to the party but I want to let you know this is another great video!

If it comes to god of war ragnarök it was one of the reasons this game was just on my digital library shelf. I picked it up a few weeks back and I’m happy to report in comparison to a few reviews that pointed this out with examples they reduced it severely. I watched example with gazer puzzle and compared it to my own play through the companions just mentioned once: “maybe is has something to do with the water flow”. And were silent after that. I had also one issue when the kid was about to say “hey there is a door there” but I unlocked it in the middle of the sentence and kid entered the loop of repeating this every minute exploration, fighting did not matter. I sadly believe they have not fixed Aloy which talks too much. I tried to play forbidden west twice (ps4 and ps5) and it was too annoying. I cannot look around and gather the resources as this b!tch does not shut up. She rushes the player to the next task, she constantly is saying how to climb the next structure (which should be sort of environmental puzzle) please if you know which option to change to make her shut up if there is one let me know. On the other hand some games like Jedi the fallen order had a button which played need to press to get a hint or was left alone to figure it out. Way much batter solution.

People are sleeping on your videos, homie. Your channel is criminally under rated. Its great to see well articulated and nuanced conversations about the things that are traditionally only referenced in a reactionary context. Thank you

Thanks for video) Great style and work! But as someone who came here for some answers or new info on theme I sadly found nothing new( I see what way you leading watcher, but I look at some other details and want to share 1) who's Sebastian? Why he's not in motion twin? What was his role that we pay so much attention to his words?(because we look what job and since when doing people that's left from original team, so why not talk more about him?) Why believe him so much? 2) how much Evil empire actually did for game? Yes, part of them is marketing team of MT, and yes, collabs whit other indie and Castlevania was a good move for sale. But what it actually good for inside of game, when big part of new enemies from Castle dlc was reskins of base game enemies, meanwhile more new weapons (mostly green=slow) were not playable on difficulty higher then 1 cell. In the same time game has bugs that is known and not patched for years( years of EE, not MT, thought it's known problem when 2 different teams work on same project). 3) it looks too strange to me that EE new game is with such big company as Ubi and so soon after "unexpected" break up with dead cells, you can already play it. Sorry to copy you, but - I not pointing or saying something certain, we can't know all truth, but isn't it strange that game devs has something with big AAA company so soon, when they have other project, which gonna last for year-two minimum? And if they need to choose, what would they do?😅 So in the end, I'm not telling that EE is wrong, I just don't think it's honest to take away personality or human side from team of 9(MT), and not do the same to team of 30?(EE)+Sebastian(why we know only his name 😂). And I think we can think who is Creators of Dead Cells after we can play both new games)

0:19 NMS : Ha only a thousand planets try a couple quadrillion

Then most likely you probably just have a horrible attention span

This is absolutely not the theseus ship paradox. The paradox requires replacing it with equivalent parts. But replacing a team with new members is not equivalent, they are not the same people in the way that two planks of the same wood are the same.

Guess i wont be seeing deadcells pirate update based on hold the last story dlc update

Dead Cells were slowly getting destroyed somewhat after update with secret boss. Especially with the "accessibility" update.

Because Halo Infinite is a mess. You have to play MCC for the true halo effect.

no offense it looks beautiful and all that but so does every game nowadays in the last 5,8 years but do these game companies know they are making a game or are they making some sort of walking simulator cum interactive movie? god i want to go back to the 2000s again where graphics and graphics engine wasnt as powerful but games had brilliant writing and story telling and world building , or they had amazingly fun and addictive gameplay, games like max payne, like diablo ii or red alert or warcraft iii or bioshock or left 4 dead even card games like magic the gathering or the original pokermon games.....or the need for speed series before carbon....underground, porsche unleashed, hot pursuit..... how do people make such incredibly fun and creative gameplay or the most amazing story writing in the past..... and everything today just looks like a clone of something that has been done to death or it looks incredibly beautiful and esoteric but incredibly pointless and boring.... god forbid, somebody make another survival crafting horror game because every game is a survival horror crafting game nowadays..... remember when gaming was actually fun? half life? unreal tournament? counter strike? twisted metal ?mechwarrior? all these games go down in history forever, while

I’m currently playing it rn I’m on chapter 13 I think the game’s perfectly laid out

why is nobody talking about 2:40

I 100%'d it I LOVE THIS GAME

its not confusing. motion twin invented/created dead cells. period, and then passed it to evil empire to augment. EE would have nothing in their hands if they werent given the intellectual property to play with like lego. they can take full credit for being responsible for what they were responsible for, which was developing great DLC's. it sounds like buddy lost touch with the original team and there were expectations and perhaps (mis)understandings, but not legal contracts involved. often we only discover our true character and our friends and family's true character, when there is life changing money on the line. i think the issue is a bit more complex here, and almost resembles parents and step parents fighting over who a child, the dead cells IP, actually belongs to. IMO, the legitimate inventors have every right to take back whats theirs, even if their 'right' is a wrong, and wrongly done, by all. dead cells should only have been ended by natural failure, disinterest, not being cut off from support. the love for it was alive and well. any step taken to eliminate perceptions of competition, if that was what happened, is foolish. the world is vast, and there is room enough for all of us to succeed.

i spend so much time waiting for games to be released... this game's wait is second only to elder scrolls 6! live is short devs!

The Ship of Theseus thought process can be applied to many studios. Bioware, for example. Only ~20% of the staff that worked on Mass Effect 3 worked on Mass Effect 1.

As someone who has played dead cells sense RotG, 100% the game and watched the community, this hurts, because dead cells isn't complete I still find a shit ton of bugs, console and mobile are a few updates behind and the public beta for "the end is near" isn't completable (a 3rd of the heads can't be gotten). Like I feel abandoned when it comes to this game Also on a side note evil empire was censored in the credits of the first episode of dead cells immortals, adding more fuel to the idea that MT and EE have bad blood

Tbf i think this kinda thing ends up being a real problem when big companies makes statements like this ending up in big franchise flops

Nice Dead By Daylight Perks in the background!

Oh shut it, you got 3 games with 2 dlc campaigns. I just want ONE GOD DAMN BULLY SEQUEL! Just ONE
