- Thank you everyone for sticking with me throughout this series. I hoped you liked it and I hope you stay for others. Thank you for the support and words of encouragement.
- Hry
It's the end. And your words at the end were really touching. It makes me very happy that your experience and first adventure in Zenozoik was a good one, and heartening to hear that it was elevated by people regularly leaving comments. I reckon that you may look back fondly at Clash: AoC as a larger experience throughout time, and for a game as special as itself, and a studio as special as ACE Team... well, i'm glad that I have been a small part of making such good memories for someone.
I'm glad.
Here's to hoping that you may experience many more good memories with your channel and games and other things in your life that may require your attention.
No promises that i'll stick around a lot, but regardless of how that pans out, I wish you a lot of good going forward, with strength and fortune and fun where you may need, can find, make and share it.
And to make this more of a larger analysis comment like the rest of the series (sans the last two) :
I have *never* seen Pontoteraton do that before. That was some *good* laughter from that moment. In regards to the sea faring thing: There are wrecks of proper rowboats here and there and Pontoteraton even wears one as an armbrace, but real big ships aren't a thing.
Man, if you had Blahgg as a summon against Gemini... that would leave the poor guy very, very, VERY bruised and broken at the end :P
Sidenote on some of the collectables at the shore: A Picoroco is a type of claim that is exclusive to the region of... Chile! The devs' homeland!
And the Peripatetic Nautiloid made me look up what it means. Apparently, peripatetic means that something travels and stays in a place for a short time before traveling again.
I believe the Outcast is based on an ancestor of the modern elephant, but I don't know the exact name. Had tusks on the chin/jawbone as well.
Word's lore dump is quite profound, and very important to remember for when you get to Zeno Clash 2. I was captivated on my first playthrough though I didn't retain it all super well either. I relistened to it later and his observations on how the Artifacts don't actually have a physical function like a tool is fascinating. Some people and things only have as much power as we believe them to have. The customs and other people's choices of the past shape our perception of that power.
All the music surrounding the finale is beautifully awesome. Gemini's theme may be the weakest, but The Duels, To The end, Battle of Fates, Pseudo's Wrath and The End... that sticks with you.
Aside from Wrehgg, you not only defeated the bodyguards and Gemini herself, but added an extra layer of humility! Sweet job!
- Claw you punched off the edge. Could practically hear the Howie scream.
- Moon-Sun you not only bullied into the corner, but it looked like you kicked open the door with him!
- The last hit against Gemini was a foot right up her butt. Looks like Pseudo is trying to get a spot in Anger Foot as a DLC character.
The fact you wanted to see Grandpa one final time and say to promise on his grave to keep the Boy save, is testament to your love for the story.
That final chase to retrieve the Boy from Kax-Teh, up the Zonectic Mountains, seeing the ship in the sky... like the Boy having been affected by that one machine's sound, that makes one *feel* things. The music that plays there is like a celebration of sacrifice, mixed with an unrelenting, firm strictness, and angry desperation against this very celebration itself. The acting here is genuinely fantastic, from the voices and the animations alike. The end of this adventure had me crying.
Kax-Teh's logic is... undeniable. He's strict and scary, but not unreasonable or unempathetic. It's for the benefit of the greater picture that Pseudo is not a problem, but Kax-Teh appears and sounds genuinely regretful over his tool, his pupil, being in this state.
I wonder to what extent Pseudo has remained in Kax-Teh's memory throughout time.
If it's of any comfort, somewhere on the Steam forums a dev has stated that the experiments, research and procedures into the Boy's power are of a careful sort. Whatever the civilization beyond Zenozoik may be, they won't just dissect him. The Boy will be treated with care.
That's what I remember from the messages on the forum.
"While there is no justice, there will be no law". And with that action... the One Law is, indeed, gone.
I hope the best for Pseudo in the future, alongside Zenozoik, ACE Team and all its individuals. I shall keep spreading word of this awesome game and weird world to help the devs as best I can and hope that you may enjoy your ventures into Zeno Clash 1, 2 whenever you may play them, alongside many other games. Just like how I hope many others may come to be fascinated by the stories from Zenozoiok.
Wish you well and take care, Sam-Are-I. Thank you for the videos :)
'Til next time!!
9:42 This is the TRUE Crab Stance...
I'm very happy you enjoyed Clash: Artifacts of Chaos! It was a bit rough around the edges, but that jank kinda adds to Zenozoik, doesn't it?
Also, yeah, swamps suck, especially the swamp in this game. God, I got SO lost in that area, I must have spent at least 3 hours making sure I didn't miss anything! That ties into my biggest gripe with the game: the environments are so pretty, but if you're like me (a completionist), you'll miss most of it because you're too busy mashing the interact button on every surface.
I had a great time watching you, I'll be sure to check out what comes next!
Yeah I’m a completionist too but that swamp got me going in a loop for 30 min before I decided to record that final episode lol. I’m so thankful that you liked the series and choose to stay for more!
Man, it's the ending... sorry for leaving you hanging and not commenting on the last two videos. Rest assured i watched them soon after they came out. I haven't finished this one, but I am most excited to see your reaction and findings of this prequel venture through Zenozoik, years before the mainline Zeno Clash games.
It’s all good I’m glad to see you comment again. I hope to see your detailed explanations again when I do decide to jump back into zenozoik, they always made the game more interesting to me
And Clash has finally come to an end😢
I don't know if you know this, but this game is actually a prequel to Zeno Clash 1 and 2. If you're interested in the world of Zenozoik then you should really give those a go either on your own time or while recording it. The first two games play in first person similar to when Pseudo does his super-first person boxing mode. They are a bit jank at times, the first one especially, but they're still a good bit of fun. Also Zeno Clash 2 is a co-op game, but can still be played in single player.
I am interested in seeing more of this really weird and unique world. So I might just check those out
