Dead Cells: The Roguelike Bloodborne -- CLS Let's Play

Motion Twins' all-new game Dead Cells borrows from a ton of different genres -- Metroidvania, roguelike, action, RPG, and more -- to create a challenging and addictive side-scrolling romp that beats you into oblivion, and then beckons you back for more. This Let's Play shows you the initial portion of the game, up to the first boss.

Really enjoyed it

Brett Medlock

Cool. Looking forward to watching this later.

Addiholic

I actually didn't know you did let plays,really excited to see this especially since I'm beyond stoked for this game. I'd say mix in more for sure.

Jonah Gespacho

Colin, I can’t remember you giving your input on Souls like series games, other than the movement being slow. Thoughts on this style of gameplay and if Dead Cells spurred trying out similar games? <3

IMHO -- I think you would get much more traffic doing long-form let's play streams via Twitch, and you'd also get an upload. I know that's a lot of work and maybe not possible, but just a thought! Love this one by the way, and YES to let's plays.

Will Caldwell

Pleasant surprise to wake up to a let's play. Great video Colin and looks like a fun game.

Ethan Wolfe

I think this is perfectly solid supplementary Side Quest content. The occasional let’s play I think could be a fun part of each gaming show if you ever you wanted to do that. A hypothetical Sacred Symbols let’s play feature at the release of SpiderMan with Chris or the occasional knockback let’s play with Dagan would be fun content I think.

Chris Garcia

This is a tough one. I want to watch Colin game but also want to hear the views. One recommendation is to twitch stream whenever these instances come up and upload the stream without all the added production. Or maybe doing a poll of which game should you do a let's play of and do a let's play once a month? Either way I look forward to watching this dead cells ones

I really liked the video and you put me on to an interesting game I didn't know about. I hope to see these more often. I would really like to see you play through the Mega Man X games. You did a full play of the games on the Mega Man Collection while at kinda fuuny and I want to see more of you playing those games.

Drew Marshall

I've actually been watching more Let's Plays lately and help me decide on a game i'm on the fence about or haven't heard of before. I am looking forward to watching this later!

Tyler

I like this, I wouldn't mind seeing these as long as the game is one I liked. Obviously it's all opinionated but yours is an opinion I like to hear. So keep doing you Col!

tannerlikesstuff

This is a really cool watch, thoroughly enjoyed the video!

bk200jj

Dead Cells is so good!

Matt Matlock

Love the let’s play. Don’t mind these occasionally instead of a proper side quest.

MeatSpin11

I really like the Let’s Play idea. The only thing I would say is that it’s a bit more convenient when you upload videos on a service like YouTube or Twitch for video. Only reason for me really is because there isn’t a Patreon app for watching this on a TV via SmartTV/console/streaming usb. I know I could watch from my phone too from a web browser but the Patreon app isn’t letting me go full screen for video. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the video and don’t mind the occasional Let’s Play instead of traditional Side Quest. Keep up the great work.

PanzerG2

Great Let's Play. I wouldn't agree with the red only upgrade strategy. A lot of the later levels require more of the traps/Grenades/etc and later boss fights lean heavily into skills. The biggest reason to increase uniformly so you get more health.

Craig Carter

I’ve missed you posting Let’s Plays, I don’t mind one of these being in the place of a Sidequest every now and then. Also this game looks awesome

Russell Garrett

I’m totally aware that I’m maybe 100% in the minority here, but I’m really not a fan of Let’s Plays. That sentiment actually extends to Twitch/Mixer as well, though I’m aware that’s not the focus here. Excluding the fact that watching someone else play a game completely negates the primary draw of the medium; I just don’t derive value from experiencing small slices of a game. It sort of feels like trying to form thoughts on a book after the first chapter, y’know? Frankly, I would way rather a writer of your calibre presented a video (as long or short as you feel it needs to be) with your concise thoughts on a game, topic or whatever you want to talk about. That said, who am I to argue with the market? If your audience wants this sort of content from you, that’s fine. My pledge and I will still be here for Fireside Chats, Knockback and Sacred Symbols. As always, big love.

Jorge Aponte

Should you sprinkle in Let's Play content in place of some Side Quest content? If that's the question then my answer is no. lol. No offense but I usually don't watch people play games.

Joe Bellotta

Such a fantastic game. On another note I can't believe you haven't went headlong into Octopath since like myself you're a huge JRPG fan! Get on that shit dude and keep up the great content.

Marius Skarsem Pedersen

Nice! The game looks awesome. I would love to see more let’s play videos. Especially if it’s a game you know a lot about, so you can talk about some cool info about the game while you play.

Steve Medina

Occasional let's plays are absolutely welcome. I see them as a fun mix up that keeps things interesting. If you feel the same then I vote you keep these sprinkled in whenever it makes sense. Hope you're feeling better man!! Cheers!

Lucas Gremista

This is great Colin! I usually dont watch let's plays, but for a "let's play / review" I really enjoyed since im interested in picking this game up. Tbh, the fact that the VO was lost and you had to comment later over the video only makes it better. Usually lets plays lack in substantial comment due to the player's extra attention on gameplay, or vice-versa.

Josh in Tampa

I like the idea of having occasional let’s plays rather than the standard videos in weeks like this with interesting game releases. Hope you’re back to 100%. Take care

Jason Bolla

I'm absolutely down with this, especially if it helps give you a break, rerecording VO or not. Always love seeing your take on a game.

Anonymous

I would be up for this! Loved watching the Let’s Play videos you did at KF, Mega Man one was one of my favourites.

There’s No I in LLC

Maybe you should run a twitch stream every once in a while for games you enjoy!

Michal Dudic

occassional let's plays would be great but I agree with some of the points above that it's better when VO is recorded after the gameplay. that way, you get the pick the most interesting sections, and the VO can be a bit more of a review format. it also makes for good B-roll to off the cuff editorial, which you are great at.

Zach Brown

If you need a break and make a Let's Play instead of a fully researched, edited video, then, by all means, do so. However, your standard Side Quest work is fantastic, so I wouldn't want to see it go away as a whole; the thoughtfulness you put into your Side Quest commentary is unmatched. Also, I hope your back & neck feels better; my wife and I both comment on how we hurt ourselves sleeping since turning 40, so it looks like you're getting a jump on things. Down with procrastination!

I just watched boom sticks video. That's crazy, nearly word for word. I second Ryan's topic.

John Lynch

Enjoyed the video Colin. I’d like to see let’s plays so long as it is the type of game we expect from you to play. I don’t want to see you playing something you don’t care about

Anonymous

I think it's a great idea. I know you and Chris usually talk about what you're playing on SS, but I'd love to see some gameplay and extended thoughts more regularly.

Hose A Contra Razz

Nice Colin, great gameplay I really enjoy it especially the end. Also will we see a CLS video on what happened with the IGN review of this game? The the review was a copy of a YouTuber video, kinda want to know your insights on this. If it’s true or not it’s an interesting topic

Sean Chandler

Everyone at work is talking about it, so I took the plunge last night before the discount went away. Took a half day at work, and been glued to it ever since I fired it up! Excellent game

Anonymous

I enjoyed this. Wouldn’t mind seeing this every third Side Quest or so?

Scott Luffy

I think it'd be cool to have a game preview video once in a while. Only when a game that you and Chris are particularly excited about comes out though.

I only played Demon's Souls for a few hours, and Dark Souls for perhaps 20, over two restarted sessions. Something like that. Bloodborne I played for fucking ever, and I learned to love it, though I didn't end up beating it. Dead Cells appeals to me as a Metroidvania-esque (but not really) game, first and foremost.

LastStandMedia
>>14458643

No time for Twitch. I already work too much. But I will certainly be putting LPs in place of SQ every few weeks, based on feedback I've been receiving.

LastStandMedia
>>14458878

No time for streaming. It's just not (at least at present) something I'm interested in pursuing. I think an LP every three, maybe four weeks in lieu of an episode of Side Quest seems appropriate for now. What do you think?

LastStandMedia
>>14459147

I honestly wanted to do something deeper than a review with Mega Man X, but I just really don't have time, unfortunately.

LastStandMedia
>>14459985

I would never pretend I could fill any of the void he left behind, but perhaps I can do something on my own that'll help supplement the gigantic hole he left behind for folks.

LastStandMedia
>>14460014

Hey Caleb! No videos are ever hosted on Patreon. Patreon doesn't have a video player or codec. That's a YouTube video, embedded. =D

LastStandMedia
>>14460836

Your feedback is totally valid, and totally welcome. But, as you said, the market must also speak as a whole, and you're the first one in this thread against it. So I have to pay attention to that, too. Doesn't mean you're wrong, of course. =)

LastStandMedia
>>14474654

Awesome. I may jump back in and redo the Mega Man ones for my own channel sometime. But I'd also love to jump into some other stuff...

LastStandMedia
>>14475795

I think that could be done in the future. Record the video first, VO second. I just like doing it in the moment, too, because I feel like it's at least more timely. But the quality is certainly hire in the second go.

LastStandMedia
>>14494267

Well, Chris doesn't do Side Quest, so it's gonna be more about my tastes. That said, Sacred Symbols could have some sort of similar component in the future, but that's not anything I have the time to worry about right now.

Marc Boggio

I’m not much of a Let’s Play watcher, but this was good - it was more like an off the cuff review of Dead Cells. The measured length helped a lot- I find a lot of Let’s Plays/Twitch streams tend to be crazy long and involve a lot of interaction with the chat, making them kind of tedious to non-live viewers. I just threw this on while I was playing Dead Cells myself and it was cool hearing your thoughts. I’d watch more of these for sure.

Zack E

Honestly, I’d personally rather see you do a Let’s Play like this for whatever game you’re playing at the moment every time in place of the traditional side quest episode. While I think they are fine pieces of content and well made, traditional Side Quest episodes are my least favorite pieces of CLS content. I think it’s simply that I believe you are best when you have a person to bounce your thoughts off of. With Side Quest, it mostly seems like you’re speaking to everybody and nobody at the same time. Though I know it scratches the itch for you to produce some carefully constructed thoughts with some research, and it’s not terrible to have a diverse portfolio of content. Obviously this is just my take. But yes I would love to see more Let’s Plays. I think you underestimate your ability to do good Let’s Plays, especially if it’s a game that you’ve spent a fair bit of time with. I still think some of the best KF videos are the Mega Man, Castlevania playthroughs you did.

Ian (616Entertainment)

This was fun, my dude. I love SQ proper, so I don't ever want it to go away, but if it would soften your workload (and obviously if this performs well) maybe doing one of these a month would be a bit easier for you? This game looks great, and I intend to play it down the line. I have to finish some videos I'm working on and get passed the 12 hour mark I've been hovering at on Octopath first, but this is definitely on the list. Very cool way to get some content out while resting, Colin. Also, dude, I have gotten severe stingers in my neck three times, so I feel your pain. Its nothing to fuck with. Rest up, hope you're back on your feet!

Tony Colton

Holy shit this video making my eyes go all crazy. Sorry Colin could only watch a few seconds 😫

No sweat... Last time I experienced the same was playing the VR worlds game Scavengers Odyssey
