00:00:00.000hey everyone welcome back uh today we're
00:00:02.080getting a special early look at the
00:00:03.760upcoming game
00:00:04.640vampire the masquerade blood hunt this
00:00:07.279is a brand new free-to-play
00:00:08.800battle royale game set in the vampire
00:00:11.280masquerade universe
00:00:12.639but it's more than just vampires with
00:00:14.480guns although it is that
00:00:16.320there's also plenty of vampire theming
00:00:18.480in the game's various mechanics
00:00:20.480for starters there are six classes each
00:00:22.480from different vampire clans with their
00:00:24.640own unique passive and active abilities
00:00:27.039for example i played as the prowler who
00:00:29.519could go invisible
00:00:30.800send out a cloud of bats to spot enemies
00:00:33.520and track down wounded players you can
00:00:35.600also feed on npcs to heal yourself or
00:00:37.920grow in power as certain ones grant you
00:00:40.399buffs that last the entire match
00:00:42.160there's a big emphasis on verticality as
00:00:44.640you're able to climb the walls of every
00:00:46.480building which makes getting around
00:00:48.239super easy
00:00:49.039and finally they play into the
00:00:50.399masquerade fantasy of trying to keep
00:00:52.480knowledge of vampires secret by putting
00:00:54.640you in a pretty severe disadvantage if
00:00:56.800you're ever spotted doing something
00:00:58.559suspicious by the npcs like for example
00:01:01.440murdering people uh so today i'll be
00:01:03.120showing you a bit of blood hunt gameplay
00:01:05.840this video is being sponsored by shark
00:01:08.240mob they let me and a bunch of other
00:01:10.159youtube and twitch people get
00:01:11.840an early hands-on look at the game if
00:01:14.240you guys enjoy what you see here of
00:01:15.680course be sure to check out the link in
00:01:17.439the description below to learn more and
00:01:19.439register for the upcoming limited closed
00:01:21.600alpha that helps me out too
00:01:23.280alright so we played for a bunch of
00:01:25.439hours trying both the
00:01:27.040solo and group modes and i'm just gonna
00:01:29.360show you a couple of full matches to
00:01:31.360hopefully give you guys a good idea
00:01:33.600of what it's like to play blood hunt
00:01:36.880okay so the very first match that we're
00:01:38.720gonna take a look at is
00:01:40.400the team game and this was actually our
00:01:43.040first
00:01:43.439match ever as well so there's a bit of
00:01:46.560stumbling and kind of learning going
00:01:48.720through the process here
00:01:50.720in fact the very first thing that i do
00:01:52.720is go up and feed on this human
00:01:55.280which there's actually no reason to do
00:01:57.439uh basically
00:01:58.640the normal the humans without this
00:02:00.719colored glow to them like you'll see on
00:02:02.479a couple others here right in front of
00:02:04.399all they do is give you back health but
00:02:07.200you know
00:02:07.520so that's good if you get in a fight and
00:02:08.879you get around the corner and you want a
00:02:10.080quick heal you can just feed on a human
00:02:11.680but these ones
00:02:12.959that will have a color glow to them
00:02:14.800actually give you benefits so you can
00:02:16.080see this particular one gives me 10
00:02:18.000cool down reduction into my vanish skill
00:02:20.720so basically there's the four colors you
00:02:22.480see on the bottom left
00:02:24.000one of them two of them will be one for
00:02:26.319each of your skills giving them a
00:02:27.840cooldown reduction because every class
00:02:29.520has the two skills that are active and
00:02:31.360then a passive
00:02:32.640and then the other two colors will give
00:02:34.560you healing over time
00:02:36.319and melee damage so it's actually kind
00:02:38.239of an interesting system you basically
00:02:40.560can pick um what types of buffs that you
00:02:43.760want to get you start off being able to
00:02:45.440get three buffs in total so you could
00:02:47.200spread those out or put all three into
00:02:49.280one of the uh four different uh buff
00:02:52.160slots
00:02:52.879and then over time throughout the match
00:02:54.720as you do this thing called diablo rise
00:02:56.879which is like an execute
00:02:58.480um you can unlock more of them so that's
00:03:00.800like that's kind of like the
00:03:02.480meta layer of the game underneath just
00:03:04.879the actual battle royale there's also
00:03:07.040that whole buff system
00:03:08.560um so you'll have noticed i've just
00:03:10.159basically been walking around i do the
00:03:11.920scan vision it's like
00:03:13.120i don't know what it's called it's some
00:03:14.239vampire vision and it actually shows
00:03:16.400quite a significant radius it's like
00:03:18.560it's at least 100 meters it's it's very
00:03:20.480very far but what it'll highlight for
00:03:22.239you
00:03:22.879is any npcs the normal ones and the ones
00:03:25.840that give buffs
00:03:27.440as well as any loot areas that are are
00:03:30.159nearby but look look at how far that
00:03:31.840extends
00:03:32.720when i hit that pole that's like several
00:03:34.319hundred meters that's actually very very
00:03:35.840far it shows you a very very
00:03:37.599large radius to give you an idea of okay
00:03:39.840the glowing spots are where there's loot
00:03:41.760and then there's the npcs so
00:03:43.440it's a really nice way to navigate
00:03:44.879around the environment uh and it looks
00:03:46.879like we
00:03:47.360actually get in our first fight here my
00:03:48.959two teammates i've got one of the
00:03:50.319developers
00:03:51.200and then also shaco taco he's like some
00:03:54.000fps twitch streamer
00:03:55.519maybe many of you have heard of him i
00:03:57.360felt in good hands though i was like you
00:03:58.879you play pub g a lot
00:04:00.000right so we we should be good here to be
00:04:02.480fair i don't think i played that badly
00:04:04.239in the matches that we're saying to
00:04:05.599seeing today but i am by no means a like
00:04:08.080pro fps player
00:04:09.680so anywho here is our first team fight
00:04:12.000um it's all gonna be a little bit messy
00:04:14.480you're not gonna see like the best
00:04:16.000coordination between our team and the
00:04:17.840enemy teams because like i said this was
00:04:19.840our first match for everybody but you
00:04:22.079know
00:04:23.040it's a bad royale it's a team fight and
00:04:25.040you got all this verticality as you've
00:04:26.560been able to see we've been running up
00:04:27.840walls you've seen my skills there's my
00:04:30.000vanish skill which is really really nice
00:04:32.479it actually
00:04:33.199increases my movement speed pretty
00:04:34.639significantly and then that little trail
00:04:36.800that you see
00:04:37.680okay well it's one thing at a time so
00:04:39.360here are the bats so i've got
00:04:40.800i've got three skills i've got my bats
00:04:42.639which is basically like sonar and
00:04:44.479they'll reveal enemies in their radius
00:04:46.880i've got the blood trail which will show
00:04:48.560damaged enemies you can see that kind of
00:04:50.400leaking off of this guy right here that
00:04:52.080is my passive
00:04:53.440that big red icon in the middle which i
00:04:55.759think that's just a bat's head
00:04:57.360when that glows it's because there's a
00:04:59.520injured enemy nearby and i'm tracking
00:05:01.759their trail with that red blood trail so
00:05:03.680that's not something that's
00:05:04.880always available no matter what
00:05:06.320character you play that's specific to
00:05:07.840the class that i'm playing
00:05:09.199there were six of them to choose from
00:05:11.199each of them from one of three like
00:05:12.720vampire clans
00:05:14.160so there's like a clan ability and then
00:05:16.160there's also your class abilities plus
00:05:18.400the passive it's pretty neat it's a
00:05:20.000it's a kind of a neat system to feed
00:05:21.360into that vampire framework
00:05:23.280uh you know because it's such a there's
00:05:25.360a it's it's a battle royale
00:05:26.720i've got vampires with guns but there's
00:05:28.639all the vampire stuff there's the
00:05:30.000feeding on enemies there's the fact that
00:05:31.520i can climb up walls because i'm a
00:05:33.120vampire i guess they can climb walls
00:05:36.080here's our second team fight here
00:05:38.720uh and then there's also there's also
00:05:40.720the mechanic of trying not to be spotted
00:05:42.560which you're gonna actually see in play
00:05:44.320here
00:05:45.120um you know all of these fights on the
00:05:46.639rooftops the humans don't they're none
00:05:48.240of the wiser sure they hear gunshots
00:05:49.840everywhere but they're not seeing it
00:05:51.440but if any npcs see you doing something
00:05:54.000wrong
00:05:54.639it actually reveals you it puts you in
00:05:56.800this blood hunt state
00:05:58.240um which you'll get to see i'm pretty
00:06:00.080sure that happens to me like one or two
00:06:02.160times in this match
00:06:03.840uh in terms of like the battle royale
00:06:05.919gunplay stuff i mean i don't know i
00:06:07.360don't
00:06:07.680really know what to say too much about
00:06:09.280that it's pretty standard it's a third
00:06:11.280person shooter we got all sorts of
00:06:12.639different weapons you'll have noticed
00:06:13.759there was weapon rarities as well
00:06:15.840so i've got like these uh dual pistols
00:06:17.840which are blue rarity i've got an lmg
00:06:20.000and a spiked bat um so there are the
00:06:22.080three slots it's basically you get two
00:06:24.160range weapons
00:06:25.039and a melee weapon slot and uh melee
00:06:28.080seems like it can be decent in this game
00:06:29.840as i mentioned before
00:06:31.280those four buffs that you can pick from
00:06:33.199those colored buffs
00:06:34.479it is health regeneration cooldowns for
00:06:37.120your two active skills and the final one
00:06:39.280is melee damage so presumably you can do
00:06:42.560a melee build if that's something that
00:06:44.319you're
00:06:44.720interested in if you want to be focused
00:06:46.319on melee you can totally do it
00:06:48.000uh here's some armor there we got some
00:06:49.759armor available and i'm going to put on
00:06:51.039my armor here
00:06:52.000so the besides those buffs at the bottom
00:06:54.240the four pips are your four like
00:06:56.240health slots and then there's a fifth
00:06:58.639slot for the armor you can pick up i
00:07:00.479think it was like three of them
00:07:02.400that you can stack at any given time and
00:07:05.280then you just have to actually it's kind
00:07:07.039of weird
00:07:07.919you have to open up your inventory and
00:07:10.080then click on things to use them
00:07:12.319so besides the armor there's also
00:07:15.360health containers which you'll see me
00:07:17.599loot in this game and i use a few times
00:07:19.520as well
00:07:20.240there's basically two health variants
00:07:22.400there is the
00:07:23.599fast to activate but slow to return
00:07:26.479health version
00:07:27.680and then there is the um slow and larger
00:07:31.039amount of health it's the
00:07:32.080it's like the blood syringe and the
00:07:33.520blood bag the blood syringe will slowly
00:07:35.440regenerate health over time the blood
00:07:36.800bag will give you a huge chunk of health
00:07:38.720but it's got a much longer cast time
00:07:41.599okay
00:07:42.000so next big team fight here is coming up
00:07:44.720and this is actually really funny
00:07:46.400we're basically just in an all-out brawl
00:07:48.879through the remainder of
00:07:50.720the game here it's like we're in this
00:07:52.639town square uh you haven't actually
00:07:54.639gotten to see
00:07:55.360it very closely you're gonna get a
00:07:57.680better look at it in the second match
00:07:59.280that we
00:07:59.759showcase here but there is the also the
00:08:02.879zone
00:08:03.520restriction mechanic in this game where
00:08:05.360basically this like
00:08:06.639red mist uh will take on parts of the
00:08:10.080city and you have to move out of the way
00:08:11.840so it's not just some big circle
00:08:14.000that shrinks over time it actually kind
00:08:16.960of works in like
00:08:17.919clusters or in zones you know different
00:08:20.080battle royales have tried different
00:08:21.520things
00:08:22.240they're going with the sort of clustered
00:08:24.319approach where different
00:08:26.080parts of the city will like become
00:08:28.240unavailable basically as the red haze
00:08:30.319moves in but it's not just like a
00:08:31.840straight
00:08:32.719uh circle that shrinks so here's an
00:08:35.200example i said
00:08:36.000melee can be viable this guy's trying
00:08:37.680the melee maybe viable's not the word it
00:08:39.839didn't work out too well for him
00:08:42.399he had some sort of a reflection uh
00:08:44.800ability i'm actually not sure
00:08:46.640if that's one of the class abilities or
00:08:48.720if that's just innate to melee weapons
00:08:50.480that i'm
00:08:51.120unaware of i think in total we played
00:08:53.519for
00:08:54.480it was two hours of gameplay um
00:08:57.760total and we played again back and forth
00:08:59.920between
00:09:00.880solo and uh team games i don't know
00:09:03.839which one i always like solo i do but
00:09:05.839the team games are kind of fun they were
00:09:07.200a little hectic a little crazy
00:09:09.040i should also mention you're definitely
00:09:10.560gonna notice in this match
00:09:12.320uh in some of these fights there's quite
00:09:14.480a bit of
00:09:15.600like characters zipping around
00:09:18.800a little like you'll see a character
00:09:20.320report here and there like all of a
00:09:22.160sudden they'll just move like 10 meters
00:09:23.760in one direction kind of randomly
00:09:25.760this is an early build of the game you
00:09:27.360know that's all the all the uh
00:09:29.360like alpha versions of games uh
00:09:32.839clarifications if you will it's you know
00:09:35.120so there's a little bit of that that
00:09:36.640they're definitely i definitely feel
00:09:38.399that the performances
00:09:39.839uh as with any game going to be super
00:09:41.839super important so hopefully they can
00:09:43.360iron out any of this like network
00:09:45.040to like teleportation it's also weird
00:09:47.200though because there are like
00:09:48.399blink skills in the game so especially
00:09:50.640for the first few matches i was like
00:09:52.560maybe everyone just has the ability to
00:09:54.640blank
00:09:55.920no it's because there were some some
00:09:57.519network problems here's the diablo rise
00:09:59.519thing that i mentioned so this is
00:10:01.200this is the the execute that you can do
00:10:03.519on players and it's got
00:10:05.600two a few big benefits for one it
00:10:07.839completely takes them out
00:10:09.200actually if you don't finish a down
00:10:10.640player they can slowly regenerate over
00:10:12.640time
00:10:13.360and come back themselves so that's an
00:10:15.200interesting thing that they're doing in
00:10:16.480this game
00:10:17.200you if you get down you don't have to be
00:10:19.600revived
00:10:20.720by a teammate you can actually
00:10:22.640self-revive it's like a fairly lengthy
00:10:24.560duration it's like 30 or 40 seconds or
00:10:26.560something but it can happen you can
00:10:28.480get back up if you're not finished so
00:10:30.399the execute
00:10:31.600obviously will finish somebody off you
00:10:33.279could also just shoot them but it'll
00:10:34.480finish somebody off
00:10:35.680it'll return you to full health just
00:10:37.440like when you feed on npcs
00:10:39.600but the last big thing it does is it
00:10:41.680actually gives you an
00:10:42.640extra pip of available buffs so as i
00:10:46.079mentioned when you start you can only
00:10:47.920choose three buffs whether you spread
00:10:49.760those three out between the different
00:10:51.519options or put all three
00:10:53.040into one color like say you want all
00:10:55.440three into the health regeneration you
00:10:57.200could do that
00:10:58.160but then every time you do the diablo
00:11:00.000rise or execute a enemy player
00:11:02.720you you unlock another slot so you fill
00:11:05.760you get those first three and then now
00:11:07.279you could get a fourth so maybe you do
00:11:09.040all three into hp regen
00:11:10.959and on your fourth one like this guy i
00:11:12.959get 10 melee damage
00:11:14.959and the more you deablize the more slots
00:11:17.760you unlock and i'm not sure what the max
00:11:19.440is i don't know if you can diabetize
00:11:21.120enough
00:11:21.920so that you could get all three in all
00:11:24.160of them
00:11:25.279i'm not entirely sure how they handle
00:11:26.800the max but that's essentially how it
00:11:28.480works
00:11:29.120um and in the games you're gonna see
00:11:31.519today i don't make the best use of the
00:11:34.240buff mechanic uh unfortunately just
00:11:37.200simply because um i'm
00:11:38.640you know again learning the game just
00:11:40.079starting only a few hours in ideally i
00:11:41.920think what would make the most sense is
00:11:43.440that third tier buff is usually pretty
00:11:45.519significantly stronger than those first
00:11:47.120two tiers so you
00:11:48.640it seems like it makes sense to pick
00:11:50.160something and just go from there
00:11:52.639okay so here we are we're getting into
00:11:54.399the last few minutes of this
00:11:56.320first match here in the upper right hand
00:11:58.160corner you can see the stats of the
00:11:59.920remaining players as well as my
00:12:01.600takedowns so i have seven
00:12:03.600uh seven kills and there are 14 players
00:12:07.120left in the lobby and uh i think the
00:12:09.920match
00:12:10.639maximum on the games that we played was
00:12:13.279something like
00:12:14.16040 players total uh somewhere around
00:12:17.440there
00:12:18.000and and i don't know if that's gonna be
00:12:20.399the cap that they have when the game
00:12:21.839fully launches
00:12:22.880i would like it to be you know if we
00:12:24.240could get somewhere like 60 at least
00:12:26.240that would be kind of cool
00:12:27.200it wasn't bad though as you've seen it's
00:12:28.560been fairly beyond the first like
00:12:31.040two or three minutes it's been pretty
00:12:33.279non-stop action going on
00:12:35.360um and you'll again there's a bunch of
00:12:37.200other classes and they do different
00:12:38.880things
00:12:39.600um one of the characters on our team has
00:12:42.320the ability to do an aoe heel which is
00:12:44.639really nice
00:12:45.519she also has a blank that she can do
00:12:47.360which is cool and my i just loved
00:12:50.160i loved my three my three skills i
00:12:52.160absolutely adore i can go invisible and
00:12:54.160then i get like a super fast
00:12:56.160movement speed buff for the duration
00:12:58.000it's a pretty short duration you're only
00:12:59.360invisible for like
00:13:00.560two or three seconds or something but
00:13:02.160you get really zippy during that process
00:13:04.000in fact i think yeah right here you see
00:13:06.240so i turn into this like translucent
00:13:08.560cloud and i get really really fast and
00:13:10.720i think i figured that you can also
00:13:12.639actually use that to quickly climb up
00:13:14.399walls if you activate that and then
00:13:16.160start scaling a wall
00:13:17.680uh you could just kind of zip up it
00:13:19.440which is really nice zip up it and
00:13:20.800invisible
00:13:21.519and then i've got my sonar bats which i
00:13:23.440just shoot out and it's a pretty wide
00:13:25.120radius that'll spot enemies so you can
00:13:26.880spot enemies on roofs you can spot
00:13:28.399enemies around corners with that
00:13:30.160that's all really cool and then my
00:13:31.760passive like i mentioned before
00:13:33.600it's just that red trail that you see
00:13:36.240when enemy whenever an enemy gets
00:13:37.920relatively low
00:13:39.199it'll activate it automatically and
00:13:41.120there'll be a red trail around them so
00:13:42.800that
00:13:43.199lets me find them it like shows a few
00:13:45.279meters of their last known location um
00:13:48.000but that was it
00:13:48.880that was the final team and that was a
00:13:50.959victory so there you go
00:13:52.480so that was our very very first match i
00:13:54.880wasn't as familiar this particular game
00:13:57.199we're about an hour in and i'm much more
00:13:59.120aware of what's going on so you'll
00:14:00.399notice i scan right away first thing i
00:14:02.399do is find
00:14:03.279a buff that i want that was a 10 cool
00:14:05.920down reduction
00:14:07.279on my vanish skill and i ideally i just
00:14:10.320try to focus on things i'm going to use
00:14:13.120uh and again like i mentioned i think
00:14:15.120the best thing ultimately would be to
00:14:16.639just pick
00:14:17.120one skill and focus on that and only get
00:14:19.279those buffs
00:14:20.240and then you'll also notice for the
00:14:21.440first time an orange piece of gear
00:14:23.760so this is another system in the game
00:14:25.680that's kind of in its early stages
00:14:28.399it's a system called artifacts at the
00:14:30.480moment of the play test session that we
00:14:32.480did here
00:14:33.519those boots are actually the only
00:14:34.959artifact in the game so there will be
00:14:36.720more in the future but what they do
00:14:38.959is it gives you a double jump so now
00:14:41.920instead of i can you know you can still
00:14:43.680do the sliding i can climb up walls but
00:14:46.000now i can also double jump
00:14:48.160as you imagine that's pretty damn big so
00:14:51.440what they
00:14:52.480told us basically was that down the road
00:14:54.880they will have different artifacts that
00:14:56.399have different
00:14:57.120significant i mean that's pretty
00:14:58.800significant having the ability to double
00:15:00.320jump
00:15:01.040really really increases your movement
00:15:03.040capabilities especially jumping from
00:15:04.639like
00:15:05.600so much of this game uh was like rooftop
00:15:08.880uh that seemed to be like a pretty
00:15:10.800common thing so being able to double
00:15:12.240jump
00:15:13.120moving from rooftop to rooftop is a
00:15:15.120pretty big advantage i mean even just
00:15:16.880being in a normal gunfight
00:15:18.560um being able to double jump over
00:15:20.399somebody try to disorient them
00:15:22.880that would be a pretty significant thing
00:15:24.320so at the moment it looks like
00:15:26.000it just is those boots but later down
00:15:28.320the roads
00:15:29.120road there will be more we'll have to
00:15:30.720see what that means for like power
00:15:32.000balance between players and stuff i'm
00:15:33.440just curious to see what else they come
00:15:34.720up with
00:15:35.279the fact that the first artifact they do
00:15:36.800has double jump was pretty good
00:15:38.720um so here's a fight i i started
00:15:40.720engaging and then i noticed
00:15:42.000briefly in the background there i swear
00:15:43.600that i saw another player
00:15:45.040i don't think they actually ever ended
00:15:46.639up engaging with us i thought we were
00:15:48.560about to get third parties so that's why
00:15:49.920i kind of vanished and ran away
00:15:52.079and then basically just a horrible
00:15:54.160engagement like i don't know why
00:15:56.160this fight took so long uh there's my
00:15:58.800there's my ability activating you notice
00:16:00.320that passive now it's glowing so now i
00:16:02.000can trace them which
00:16:02.959which it's actually also really really
00:16:04.720nice because it tells me
00:16:06.399they're at low health now like it's such
00:16:08.800just such a nice indicator
00:16:10.480if i'm in a firefight like this at a
00:16:12.480medium distance
00:16:13.759knowing that they're a low health um i
00:16:15.680don't remember i think this is the
00:16:16.800healing class
00:16:17.519she has the ability to blink while she's
00:16:18.959down which is what she just did there
00:16:20.480but
00:16:21.120as you saw i finished her off got the
00:16:23.120nice execute and so now like i mentioned
00:16:25.360now i have access to
00:16:26.639four total buffs that i can get so we're
00:16:28.480going to try to find some more npcs do
00:16:29.920some more buffs
00:16:30.880and also in this game because this was
00:16:32.880uh about an hour or so later
00:16:34.800and i i just i'm constantly basically
00:16:37.440using that vampire vision
00:16:39.120i'm pulsing it out almost whenever it's
00:16:40.959available because like i mentioned
00:16:42.399and as you can see it shows you so damn
00:16:45.360far
00:16:45.920so it gives you so much insight as to
00:16:47.680where's the loot where the npcs for the
00:16:49.600buffs
00:16:50.240i don't know why i get this i never use
00:16:51.759melee this was just i don't
00:16:53.360it doesn't make sense i wasn't thinking
00:16:54.959basically i fed on that npc and i wasn't
00:16:57.759thinking because i never ever use my
00:16:59.360melee i should
00:17:00.240i do want to try though once this game
00:17:02.320like becomes actually uh available for
00:17:04.799regular play
00:17:05.760and you know i'm spending some time with
00:17:07.919it i'll probably give
00:17:09.199melee a shot it just i always feel weird
00:17:11.360about melee in these
00:17:12.480games especially third person games like
00:17:14.640this where people can peek corners like
00:17:16.640how free like what am i doing what the
00:17:18.319hell am i doing picking
00:17:19.679ballet again i i don't use it i just
00:17:21.839wasn't thinking plain and simple
00:17:24.319yeah oh and also i didn't mention it
00:17:26.079before if you're curious about
00:17:27.679like how does the wall climb mechanic
00:17:29.360work you just run up to the wall
00:17:31.440and you hold forward basically i think
00:17:33.280you might also have to hold shift or
00:17:34.720space or something while it's happening
00:17:37.840as of me doing this commentary it's been
00:17:40.080like a week since we actually played so
00:17:41.520i don't
00:17:42.080but you basically just hold forward and
00:17:43.679maybe a modifier as well but pretty
00:17:46.080straightforward
00:17:46.960uh is basically what you expect and
00:17:49.440didn't
00:17:50.000have a lot of issues could basically
00:17:51.760almost always climb
00:17:53.760any wall that i thought i could the
00:17:55.679biggest issues that i noticed were
00:17:57.600sometimes on some of the slanted
00:17:59.360rooftops i would be trying to climb it
00:18:01.679and i'd just be sliding down
00:18:03.120all over the place so that was a little
00:18:05.039weird uh
00:18:06.240i don't know if that's intended but it
00:18:08.720was it made awkward situations where i'd
00:18:10.559be in fights and i'd try to
00:18:11.919be climbing over something and i would
00:18:13.919just start sliding down and down and
00:18:15.440down
00:18:15.919there's the red wall by the way that
00:18:17.200you're seeing slowly moving in but as
00:18:18.720you can see on the minimap in the upper
00:18:20.320left it's moving into like this quadrant
00:18:22.320it's
00:18:22.720just not moving into a circular area as
00:18:25.840i talked about earlier
00:18:27.120so this will be uh my second little
00:18:29.120engagement not much happens here
00:18:31.840i got in kind of a tough spot one of the
00:18:34.160other characters has this like poison
00:18:36.320smoke cloud that they throw out and like
00:18:38.559you see here i'm really low so
00:18:40.640i just kind of vanished i just loved the
00:18:42.320vanish skill i thought it was so nice i
00:18:44.320vanished out of there do the blood
00:18:45.440syringe so you can see
00:18:46.720i've got health ticking over time and
00:18:48.640now i'm going to chug down this
00:18:50.160blood bag which will give me a nice big
00:18:52.000boost and it kind of it gives you the
00:18:53.679boost but then they kind of fill up in
00:18:55.440these
00:18:56.400these chunks you'll notice my health bar
00:18:57.919is yellow and then once it's all the way
00:18:59.760it fills up
00:19:00.960that's actually i don't really know what
00:19:02.400that i don't know what that means i
00:19:03.679don't know if that means i have the
00:19:04.960health when it's in the yellow
00:19:06.559or if i don't have the health until it
00:19:08.400fully fills up to the white
00:19:10.320that i'm actually uncertain i don't
00:19:12.960quite recall
00:19:14.000uh so we've had a couple of engagements
00:19:15.919um it's gonna be a little slow
00:19:18.160here for about a minute or so but then
00:19:20.400it picks up this was actually really
00:19:21.840good game
00:19:22.840um it was it was a good game for me
00:19:25.840you know you'll see what happens at the
00:19:27.360end but i was pretty proud of this game
00:19:28.720overall especially since
00:19:30.000we're playing against some pretty damn
00:19:31.440good people like we had shaco taco in
00:19:33.760our lobby
00:19:34.799uh i think uh tsm's myth was
00:19:38.000there and he's like a [ __ ] pro
00:19:39.679fortnite player or something like
00:19:41.200i don't know what i'm i don't know what
00:19:42.400they were thinking having me play these
00:19:43.919people but
00:19:45.280fortunately there were also a bunch of
00:19:46.559devs in the lobby so
00:19:48.960so i was able to actually get some kills
00:19:51.039i just i can't play against pro
00:19:52.799like mlg players i'm not that good you
00:19:55.760know what i'm saying
00:19:57.280it's not i don't know what they're they
00:19:59.360needed to put me in there with just a
00:20:00.880bunch of noob tubers or something you
00:20:02.640know what i mean
00:20:03.440anyways i'm not complaining it was good
00:20:06.000this was a decent game and i i had a i
00:20:08.480had a good time
00:20:09.280it's actually i'm always happy to check
00:20:10.720out new battle royales you know what i
00:20:12.159mean
00:20:12.559so and it's always nice i think that the
00:20:14.799probably the most interesting thing with
00:20:16.159all these battle royales is seeing like
00:20:17.760what are these
00:20:18.720different games and these different
00:20:20.400companies doing to like distinguish
00:20:22.720themselves beyond the
00:20:24.240x number of players last person or last
00:20:27.360team standing
00:20:28.480what are the differentiations so
00:20:30.799obviously with this game we got the
00:20:32.080vampire theme
00:20:33.200i think that's cool we've got the wall
00:20:35.200climbing and we've got the vampire
00:20:36.799abilities so that's kind of their own
00:20:38.400little twist here
00:20:39.679um i just like this guy up i can't
00:20:41.679believe i'm like how was that not enough
00:20:44.159damn how much damage was that total
00:20:46.159that was god i swear that was at least
00:20:48.000250 i'm pretty sure 250 is the max
00:20:49.760there's a 200 base health and then
00:20:51.039there's armor of 50. but it doesn't
00:20:52.159matter he's low you can see the blood
00:20:53.520trail
00:20:54.159i spot him easily boom done so
00:20:57.520uh there was two so as i mentioned six
00:20:59.679classes in the game with their different
00:21:01.120abilities
00:21:02.000and they're they're broken up into um
00:21:05.039three different clans so there's a clan
00:21:08.080ability that will be shared
00:21:09.679and then a unique ability for the
00:21:11.440specific class that you have as well as
00:21:13.520a unique passive
00:21:14.799so the clan ability uh for my clan uh
00:21:17.840was the just the invisibility option the
00:21:20.480other like assassin type character that
00:21:22.400was in my same clan
00:21:23.840had the passive instead of that blood
00:21:25.679trail i'm pretty sure his passive was
00:21:27.280that he could
00:21:28.720crouch and go slightly invisible i just
00:21:31.679didn't really see the benefit of that
00:21:33.280because i'm like how often am i going to
00:21:34.720be crouching around here i much rather
00:21:36.559have
00:21:36.960i mean as you've seen me put to good use
00:21:39.039the the blood trail is so helpful
00:21:41.840especially with all the movement in this
00:21:43.440game and when you know if somebody has
00:21:45.200boots and they can double jump and the
00:21:46.640sliding and any of the characters that
00:21:48.240have blink
00:21:49.120or the invisibility which gives you a
00:21:50.799speed boost like with so much movement
00:21:53.200i think it can be easy to lose track of
00:21:55.520somebody
00:21:56.400when you're fighting them so to have
00:21:57.919that blood trail if you get them below a
00:21:59.760threshold
00:22:00.400i'm not sure what it is i'm going to
00:22:01.840guess like somewhere around 20 to 30
00:22:03.679percent
00:22:04.400but you get them below a threshold and
00:22:06.000then then you can just track them the
00:22:08.240rest of the way it's just so freaking
00:22:09.760nice dude
00:22:10.720i absolutely really love it uh there
00:22:12.720there have been some npcs besides the
00:22:14.559base ones so you notice that little red
00:22:16.480uh laser sight in the background it was
00:22:18.559there a second ago
00:22:19.840uh but there's basically like npc
00:22:23.280enemies there's like basic ones that
00:22:25.840just have like assault rifles
00:22:27.440and if they spot you doing something
00:22:28.799wrong they'll start shooting at you
00:22:30.960they seemed fairly inconsequential there
00:22:33.919is another layer to this though and
00:22:35.919i actually in my entire play session be
00:22:38.799it solo or when we did team games
00:22:41.280we never checked it out so i'm not sure
00:22:43.280how big of a deal it is but basically
00:22:45.520throughout spots on the map there are
00:22:47.280these little like red crosses
00:22:49.440there's actually one showing up just
00:22:50.960peeking out on my mini-map in the
00:22:52.799bottom left there it just disappeared
00:22:54.480but these little red crosses and they're
00:22:56.640like
00:22:57.120boss enemies that you can fight but we
00:22:59.760just never engaged them at no point did
00:23:01.679we ever go for it so i'm not entirely
00:23:03.760sure
00:23:04.960obviously there's some benefit maybe
00:23:06.799they drop a lot of consumables or they
00:23:08.799can give you some good weapons or
00:23:10.159possibly they drop artifacts but yeah
00:23:12.000there are npc bosses
00:23:14.159there's another one on my mini map there
00:23:16.080now in the northern part of it
00:23:18.320you can fight them and get stuff from
00:23:20.000them but i'm not entirely sure how it
00:23:21.679works uh so i can't speak onto it too
00:23:24.080much
00:23:24.559all right so now it's time for some
00:23:25.840rooftop fighting i saw some play over
00:23:27.679here engaged he was revealed
00:23:29.600i'm assuming that means because he got a
00:23:31.280blood hunt from npcs and that's just
00:23:33.120easy just go up there
00:23:34.960he like invisible towards me or
00:23:36.799something why did
00:23:38.159and now he's low so i'm just gonna pop
00:23:39.679out my double barrel shotgun boom boom
00:23:42.400see you later and the execute this was
00:23:45.279weird look at this this guy
00:23:46.880i swear i was dead here but he activated
00:23:49.120his
00:23:50.400i don't know what he was doing he walked
00:23:52.080up to me i was executing i swear he
00:23:53.919could have just went up behind me and
00:23:54.960stabbed me
00:23:56.159so i don't know if they were just
00:23:57.919weren't sure what was happening and
00:23:59.360we're trying to prevent getting shot
00:24:00.799because that little
00:24:01.679uh sword swing does uh reflecting
00:24:03.520bullets but then while at that low
00:24:05.600health they decided to walk towards me
00:24:07.360i'm just confused
00:24:09.679uh one thing i do want to mention about
00:24:11.760the diablo rise ability or the
00:24:13.360executability is
00:24:15.360it definitely seems like it's going to
00:24:16.880be one of those risk and reward things
00:24:19.840obviously the reward is you get full
00:24:21.600health regen when you finish it and you
00:24:23.520get that extra available buff slot
00:24:26.240the risk is you're completely vulnerable
00:24:28.400kind of like i was in that situation
00:24:30.320i think had that player had their gun
00:24:31.919out they could they could have just
00:24:33.039started shooting me while i was doing
00:24:34.480the diablo rise so
00:24:35.679you're very vulnerable when you do it
00:24:37.120especially if you do it out in the open
00:24:39.520um and i don't know how much like once
00:24:41.919this game comes out and people are
00:24:43.279playing
00:24:43.840and a metagame forms i don't know how
00:24:46.240frequently people are actually going to
00:24:47.840do the execute animation on other
00:24:49.520players just because it would it does
00:24:51.520leave you so vulnerable
00:24:54.080it i guess it just depends it's going to
00:24:55.600be really really situational but i
00:24:57.200definitely feel like right there
00:24:58.880i could have just got blasted but i
00:25:00.799didn't so
00:25:02.799i feel like in a game against super oh
00:25:04.320here we go there's a guy he was doing a
00:25:06.080little feed i walk up to him boom pumped
00:25:07.919100 damage in just like that
00:25:10.000and then he's low health do a little bit
00:25:11.600more
00:25:13.440you know because i just did the
00:25:14.960jabberize all the time anyways i
00:25:16.480realized the potential risks but
00:25:18.480until it started backfiring i just
00:25:21.520figured you know what if it's working
00:25:23.520i'm gonna keep doing it it's it hasn't
00:25:25.440backfired yet it hasn't kicked me in the
00:25:27.200butt yet so
00:25:28.159no big deal all right so we're going to
00:25:31.919uh we're getting close here the last
00:25:33.679couple minutes of this match
00:25:35.600um i think this here's a little
00:25:36.960engagement that happens i get the
00:25:38.880third party i pump a lot of damage
00:25:42.080but then they start slamming me and i'm
00:25:44.240like there's two people here i don't
00:25:45.520want to sit in this so i just kind of
00:25:46.880blink away
00:25:47.760i'm generally speaking rather playing it
00:25:50.159safe than sorry we do we got a player
00:25:51.679sitting over here i don't even remember
00:25:53.200what happens at this point
00:25:55.039oh they're a low health okay yeah this
00:25:57.440is the player that i had dinged up top
00:25:59.600and then they dropped down so again i'm
00:26:01.760telling you dude
00:26:02.880this blood trail ability seems really
00:26:05.679freaking good
00:26:06.640i don't know uh and in case you were
00:26:09.679curious
00:26:10.240it basically seems like the three clans
00:26:12.400are like
00:26:13.440assassinate with the invisibility
00:26:16.000there's a clan that seems more brawling
00:26:17.840focus
00:26:18.480where they have like the ability to leap
00:26:20.720and then the last
00:26:22.080clan i don't remember what their shared
00:26:24.480ability is
00:26:25.520but they are like support characters
00:26:27.520like i know one of them
00:26:28.880has like an aoe uh flashbang essentially
00:26:32.080and another one of them has the uh the
00:26:34.559self and team healing
00:26:36.640so yeah just different different styles
00:26:38.559for each of the clans and i'll be
00:26:39.679curious to see if they add more
00:26:41.360over time you know more clans and more
00:26:43.919characters and all that stuff
00:26:46.880another old fight here easy peasy i
00:26:50.000think i
00:26:50.559try to do no i guess i didn't so there's
00:26:52.960a great example you see
00:26:54.080there was some crossfire going on i was
00:26:55.679getting shot from below and i'm pretty
00:26:57.200sure someone
00:26:58.480was also up here with me at least a
00:27:01.120moment ago they might have been
00:27:02.480uh but when that was happening instead
00:27:04.960of standing there and trying to do that
00:27:06.640uh dialbarize
00:27:08.000execute thing you just get a couple
00:27:10.400shots in the head and it's super quick
00:27:12.000and easy it's
00:27:12.880i presume that that it will be what most
00:27:15.120players do
00:27:17.360and here's when uh things start to get a
00:27:19.520little rough for me
00:27:21.520i had that little engagement up there we
00:27:23.200got the the zone closing in
00:27:24.960now if you're curious about the zone
00:27:26.399here's here's a look at it
00:27:28.480it goes over you do a little damage it
00:27:30.559ticks through armor first
00:27:32.840and it's actually not terribly bad i
00:27:36.080mean as you can see i'm kind of sitting
00:27:37.600here
00:27:38.240there is also an item that you can
00:27:40.480activate actually that's why it's not so
00:27:41.840bad because i just activated an item
00:27:44.799which temporarily prevents the thing
00:27:47.440from damaging you you see that little
00:27:49.120buff right above the 106
00:27:51.200that is the item it's got a short
00:27:53.039duration and while you have it on
00:27:56.080while you have it active uh you won't
00:27:58.159take any damage from the zone i know i
00:28:00.000can't believe i engaged in this fight
00:28:01.760it actually ended up working out for me
00:28:03.360but i was about half health
00:28:04.799when i decided i mean i guess i did have
00:28:06.320the jump so and it did end up
00:28:08.159working out as you can see it was
00:28:10.080actually it is actually pretty
00:28:11.360decent um amount of damage it wasn't too
00:28:14.840bad
00:28:16.480and then this happens i'm here with
00:28:19.840just about a pip and a half of health
00:28:23.279and fps pro mega gamer
00:28:28.159myth finishes me off if anyone's gonna
00:28:31.279take me out in a game if it's someone
00:28:35.360like him i'm fine with it and then uh
00:28:38.000for the rest of the match the last
00:28:39.360minute or so
00:28:40.240it will just be spectating an actual pro
