For added context on the Horse Armour, it was an even _bigger_ deal back in the day. Just a few years earlier the previous game in the series, Morrowind, had featured a collection of what at the time were called official mods. These eight "official mods" ranged from a simple interaction at one of the game's taverns, to new items, an improved soundscape for one of the regions, and even entire quests. All eight of the "official mods", many larger in scope than Oblivion's Horse Armour DLC, had been offered for download completely free of charge from Bethesda. So it wasn't _just_ that they were charging a ridiculous amount for something so minor, it was that they were charging a ridiculous amount for something that they previously would have given away for free.
The game that made you buy save slots was Metal Gear Survive, Konami's first Metal Gear game without Kojima. It was probably one of the worst games to come out that year.
RIGHT! That's what it was...I guess being Kojima-adjacent rather than by him made me think it was Death Stranding. Whoops.
At this point every Hanes going to become a survival crafter
And every series eventually ads zombies
They just decided to skip the foreplay
I not sure what’s worse MGS or Mag plachinko machines
Fun fact the cane is the Wabbajack from Skyrim yes I definitely spelled that wrong but I don’t care it’s Sheogorath’s daedric artifact and he’s the daedric prince of madness
Since nobody corrected you, I guess you already know you spelled it right, but I just wanted to confirm for everybody else :)
I think an RPG without levels, with weapon degradation could still work. Not in Bethesda's hands, certainly, more of an indie game that would've been on Kongregate 8 years ago, easy, two mediums and a hard badge kinda game, but I'm thinking things like an achievement-based feat system, kill 10 goblins to unlock a little tick box to choose to do 5% more damage to goblins, five tiers of that, destroy your first weapon to unlock 10% more durability for weapons, speak with The Duck Prince to unlock the All Bullets Are Ducks option-that kind of stuff, very genre-typical you understand- or find every Blue Elephant to unlock the Blue Elephant skin, throw in a nice Achievement Unlocked reference, forgot what the guy behind those is called.
Rpg without levels and weapon degradation? You mean monster hunter? Yeah it works.
Breath of the Wild?
In what bethesda rpg does it apply ? Bcs i like system in fallout 4 and love in skyrim you are leveling skills that you are using is sweet
Breath of the wild:
It look likes the cane is the wabbajack. The weapon of sheogorath, the deadra prince of madness in the elder scrolls lore.
The cane is indeed the Wabbajack!
I have watched the video so many times, how did I never notice this??
No worries -- and this actually does match last time; when they'd had the full version of the Doom Crossing song, you'd also just acknowledged that you might listen to the full version offstream. :)
I did? Ha! I must've done that, forgot I did and thought I did it in the reaction itself! Whoops!
After 116(!) of these, it's easy to forget. Thanks!
Honestly you should gage reacted to the full song
The animated one cuts out before the doom slayer starts singing
Great reaction, I don't know if we should put it to your knowledge of the franchise and songwriting instincts or bethesda having so obvious targets to aim for but it was hillarious to see everytime you lifted another of their failures just for them to reach it in the next few bars.
I admire Chalkeaters ability to get people involved with the franchises they mock to participate though. They must have some really good sales pitches to get crush 40 in this case, but even more so Gabe himself and Ellen McLain for the "Count to three" song. Had this been today when they have more clout I wouldn't have been that suprised if they could have gotten a few words from Todd as well.
The difference is, I think, that here they openly roast Bethesda for only caring about money, and in Count to three they didn’t really roast Valve, it was more of a goofy comedic song about a still beloved game studio - that’s why they got Gaben and Ellen McLain to join in :)))
I like that even tho " IT JUST WORKS a" is full of memes and roasts its also full of callbacks and small lore details, not only that, you wouldn't know about some of these things unless you were somehow deep into the fandom wich just shows how great these games. When half of these things are just devs being greedy so a usual thing.
You should check out the full version of the sonic song, it's more optimistic! A bit. (And they do have lyrics on screen)
Also, a lot of it is playing off the song names and level names. "live and learn" = "No time to live, no time to learn", "seven rings in hand" = "A hero with no rings in his hand". Green Hills, Scrap Brain. "Gotta go fast" turns into "Gotta take it slow".
I mentioned that last one, heh
man, i love how you actually pause the video and comment on what's going on and your thoughts so many of these "reaction channels" just watch the video and chuckle every now and then and it's over. u earned a sub.
to bad you missed a nice visual easter egg in the it just works song at 3:49(14:05 your video) when the line was on screen with:
full of rusty swords and used pregnancy tests
I laughed at the visual tho I didn't point it out.
@@Insaneian I think there is also a used dwemer condom.
That Crush 30s song was SO well made, absolutely *loved* hearing the singer from Crush 40 back in action...but man does it make me feel old.
Speaking of Sonic songs, it'd be really cool to see a react to Video Game Rap Battles: Mario VS Sonic. It's basically ERB but for video games. Very well written with some surprisingly good CG.
the game that sold save slots, Metal Gear survive. So you werent too far away from death stranding, but series were created by Kojima.
i never said this before but i really appreciate the commentary you put in your videos, its always entertaining and educational. keep up the good work
Thank you!
this guy is fucking underrated. Much love.
How's technoblade doing in your chaos plain
This is an amazing reaction! Love the knowledge about all the scandals plus the genuine laughter
if Todd comes out and sings it just works on ES6 gameplay reveal, ill buy another copy of skyrim
Horse armour was oblivion to me knowledge
You watching a song called "Crushing Thirties" when my thirtieth was yesterday feels *weird.*
The Chalkeaters just relased a whole new Skyrim song! Please check it out!
Thanks!
I wasn't expecting you to cover Crushing Thirties, interesting to see how much Sonic you know. I'm not familiar with Bethesda The Musical, I haven't looked into Chalkeaters much, I'm not sure if it predates or is more recent than Crushing, I'll give the original a watch after.
It Just Works was the Chalkeater's 2nd song and their first big song if memory serves, it's at least how I found the band, before It Just Works, as far as I know, there's only the Bowsette song before it
it was for Oblivion, not for Skyrim, the horse armor DLC, for 2.50$, for a SINGLE horse, if you wanted to equip more horses, you had to pay ingame currency, purely visual, added no stat, for a game purely single player
ridiculous
tho, today, in multiplayer games, this might come to be more accepted, cause you can swag in front of others, but in singleplayer? there are modders out there that will change skins of anything ingame for free!
It just works has been a back pocket fav for a while, glad to see you enjoying it too.
Love your videos Ian! You're commentary is very interesting as a fan of comedy music! Have you ever listened to Danny Gonzalez's songs? I think you'd enjoy them, he's very funny! I recommend "My dad is rich", "bad boy", and "I'm gonna kill Santa clause". He's really good and balancing random humor with clever lyrics and the songs sound really good on their own too!
Thanks! I've had a few folks suggest his stuff but I haven't had a chance to check any out yet. I'll look into it!
Wow for some reason I thought you already did a reaction on It Just Works, idk why.
I forgot the official upload wasn't the full version, and that someone else uploaded the full version, that's the only one I listen to, someone uploaded it. The other bits are honestly the far better bits of it.
The full version was also by the official channel, but they didn't have 5 minutes of animation, so the full song's video is more like bloopers and "how it was made" documentary.
Darn it! I saw this come out but I didn’t have signal and now I’m late! I hoped you enjoyed it, Chalkeaters go for quality over quantity. Still amazing how Stupes does both somehow.
i think that a battle spaceship with dragon animations can be a referance to zelda ocarina of time and secret dev enemy. star fox spaceship with working laser that had movement of volvagia (dragon boss)
I haven't searched it, since I don't want the ISP thinking I'm sneaky, and also mostly because I'm not interested in doing it and I have terrible fine motor skills, but there's gotta be real lockpick sets at about $10, I'd imagine. Not particularly great ones, I reckon, though. Serviceable ones should be $20-30.
Great reaction as always also the game you where thinking about was Metal Gear Survive Konami Charging Real Money for save slots.
Weapon Degradation I feel was great in New Vegas but you could pretty much always find what you needed to repair what you had... and it even made looting more fun because while a damaged weapon was not worth much, you find a bunch of them and repair them with each other it's a good profit, made me feel rewarded even if I was finding weapons beneath my character
huzza! iv been waiting for it just works.
*YES!!!! I KNEW THIS WOULD BE A THING SOMEDAY!!!*
Hope it was worth it!
@@Insaneian absolutely worth it! Keep up the good work man. 😁
Did you know the owl is from sonic ova or sonic the hedgehog the movie and the chao near the rank f is when you make a chao say bye bye in sa1 and sa2?
5:28 the fact that after he said that the next line was “oh and boy stop shitting on our swag” and the video was pointing at him
10:15 and this is also a similar situation
Is that cane the waberjack?
don't know how I missed this the first time around. Very happy to see someone reacting to It Just Works who's at least vaguely familiar with all the scandals and scumminess referenced.
In case anyone's curious about 76, no they did not "fix it". There is just... more of it now.
If you didn't like it before you probably wont like it now... and if your still a fan of 76... I am so sorry for your wrenched soul.
That's a Wabbajack not a cane
I miss Sonic underground I wish there was some way I could see how the story would have ended
You should check out Da Vinci's Notebook and Alan Sherman. As for specific songs, Another Irish Drinking Song from Da Vinci's Notebook and Good Advice from Alan Sherman are my recommendations, but all of them are good.
I'm very familiar with both Alan Sherman and Da Vinci's Notebook from hearing both on the Dr Demento show, including the songs you mentioned (tho I'm not as familiar with DVN, I do know the group that spun off from them, Paul and Storm, VERY well, having not only performed with them a few times, but also had them in a skit on one of my albums).
The horse armor was for oblivion, and it did add a bit of defence but not much.
8:30 and now becuase so many gamers bought it we got garbadge like 10 $ for the color blue... to many gamers dont have standards.
13:00 judging by the map this part was about TES 2 Daggerfall (or how it was called by the community BUGerfall, since it had tons of bugs) and yeah its map was giant but most of it was kinda empty with a lot of space between locations. They solved that in Morrowind though where i liked to walk from city to city, finding some small dungeons (because there was something useful even in them) and small farms/houses here and there.
Also you should watch the recording session crushing in the thirties. The singer clearly enjoying singing the song
Funny that in Fallout Frontier moders were able to create working transport. Yes, Frontier still came out a terrible mod (unlike Entropy Zero 2), but that's an indicator.
Todd Howard used to be my hero, but then i took an arrow to the wallet.
geez dude, this video is a year old! Go to bed!
Speaking to the UberEats/Doordash quest BS - it's worse that you have to make 5 deliveries in an hour just to get an extra $5...
And it's always from 5 to 6, rush hour, and half the city does delivery...
And reminder to customers - TIP IN CASH. Every driver would rather you tip them $3 in cash than round up to the nearest fifth dollar on your card. That gets counted into our wages and we get taxed for it, cash doesn't.
Actually, I prefer tips on the card, because most times when I get a $7 order that takes me 40 minutes and 20 miles of travel, I get NOTHING from the customer.
Having a tip on there already let's me know I'm at least getting SOMETHING.
@@InsaneianYeah, that's fair...
But real talk, ever get those phantom orders that'd be like $10~$20 but were for restaurants or stores that were closed or the delivery address was nonexistent?
@@shelbyherring92 not usually. I *do* get random $36 dollar orders that when I go to pick them up the restaurant tells me they were picked up hours ago but the system keeps putting them back as if they haven't, and that's why the delivery payout is so high. 😅 had that happen at least twice.
I remember seeing that first song not knowing what it was.
this song is so great that even they do a song named《Upgrade ur PC》it's not going to surpass this
He did it it's been years since the request but it's finally arrived!
Hope it was worth the wait!
want to feel old? the horse armour was released in 2006, 16 years ago which means here in the uk you could get married if you were born when the horse armour dlc released although you'd have to do it quickly seems they are raising the minimum age to 18
Has anybody asked you to react to connor price?
He's a canadian rapper and while his songs aren't comedy music per se they do contain some puns,jokes and wordplay.
(If you want recommendations i suggest trendsetter,violet or million cash)
Kind regards, the scrongler.
Ian your a legend
They also got a new song coming out later this month
As a suffering passive Sonic fan, I'm at least glad I'm not a Bethesda fan.
Now star field Is out they can finally work on elder scrolls 6
17:51 you think they'll accept (gotta go fast) as a medical condition??
Huh. Neat. A classic.
take my word it just works 🤣
I don’t know if you’ve ever considered, but how about some of MC Lars? Hey there, Ophelia is a masterpiece.
Thanks for the suggestion but...I've seen everything by Lars, opened for him, as well as performed with him as his hype man several times, and was even a guest on his podcast. 😅 I know Lars, he's a friend.
@@Insaneian ah. Say no more. I was just listening to him the other day and thought his music doesn’t get the reacts it deserves. A very overlooked artist in the nerd circles of music.
@@michaellindenmuth9446 maybe nowadays, but Lars, Frontalot, Mega Ran, and Schaffer the Darklord are the Mt Rushmore of Nerdcore imo...I mean, they even had a tour together of that, lol.
Lars did release an album lately. Maybe if we get a video for Bigfoot Left the Bay I'll do that one 😁
You should also check out "Lock Me Up" by The Chalkeaters.
Good Show
Could you react to I am the very modal of a CZcams individual by let me explain studio
I've not heard of it until now, but I'll look into it!
@Insane Ian Thanks I hope you like it
I’m personally offended he called the wabbajack a cane
The what now?
Can't wait for you to react to the Among us song they just dropped
have you heard of what more or less bethesta but japan are planning for the first pokemon game set in generation 10 (gen X) that's right they think that there's no reason for you to lvl. up your pokemon becouse it becomes to grindy and you (hopefully) know the saying, cheating in rare candies is based and grinding is cringe, and if there is somthing (redacted) don't like it is people ''copying'' them but if there is somthing else they hate it is using mods.
Bethesda has nothing to do with Pokemon.
Can you please react to Dan Bull's Sacrifices Must be Made? It's not that comedy but it's really good and it's about one of my favorite games Inscryption. I recommend you play the demo.
If it's not comedy, I'm not likely to react to it, sorry.
@@Insaneian ok I understand. But I still recommend you watch the vid.
5 minute video bro made it 5x longer
Admittedly, it's not just one song I'm reacting to here. But honestly? Yeah, this is par for the course with me. 😅
По моему мнению ты слишком много останавливаешься видео😅
Starfield will probably be an absolute shit show.
Who care if something barely works if it work it works no need to waste time improve it.
