You know the balance is off when the ancient parasites are weaker are the tiers under them 😂

Love how the Preeminents can CASUALLY KILL THE WITHER Even the Warden sometimes loses to the Wither

its nutty this giant web of interconnected things that parasites can do. it's like an actual disease in some horror game like dead-space. 1 grub could turn an entire world into a hellish land full of colonies, parasites, herds, structures, nexus's, hosts, and sludge.

Man ,looks like the mod keeps getting unplayable by Time. I was expecting to have some debuffs to some of the parasites....... Still hoping to get some good changes in the part 2 of the video

How to make this mod fun (with configs): Add the techguns and crafttweaker mods Remove adaptations Make them 10-20x weak to fire Remove all armor points Put global health amount to 50-70% of the base stats Use craftweaker to make recipes for the new gear (just for the option if you don't fancy guns) Turn off assimilated endermen

I know that this will be a really unpopular opinion, but I think that this mod went from a super cool concept with SOME balance to a unbalanced mod which is on the line of being a mess... There are too little gear added to help you with the OP parasites and I get that they are supposed to be these super strong foes but literally when its just 6 random parasites rushing to you all together you just know that its certain death. I hope they focus on adding more gear to help balancing cause I still think that the concept is AMAZING.

Good mod, mad respect to the devs for putting so much effort into it, I still won't even consider playing the mod myself, unbalanced AF and it would just ruin my mood and my world in the process

What worries me about this mod it might fall prey to a similar incident like the orespawn mod where Devs added too many mobs that weren't patch early after it's release which brought too many bug's into the mod and mobs were practically too OP too beat

So basically the only way to survive this mod in hardcore is to just speedrun mining truckloads of obsidian, getting farming supplies, and building a multiple layered thick base at bedrock level withg every precaution taken to prevent anything getting out, or getting inside.

This mods really become raw since its conception, such a great promise and premise that they just can't seem to refine before they add more to it.

Might have to do another playthrough. Last time I used Techguns and several turret and base defense mods and we built a huge fortress. It was so cool when a wave of enemies approaches and you heard like 50 turrets start firing at once. The playthrough ended with us unlocking ICBM nukes and wiping the infected area off the map.

No music was added to this video in post, do you guys like it this way? Or do you want background music? Also, make sure to delete your old config files before playing the new updates!

Escape and Run is now just RUN, and not even running will be enough to survive... Now the motto for this mod should be "Every second you are not running, we're onoy getting closer"

I always though that techguns wepons where too op and made every playthrough boring but now with this parasites mod it's finally ballanced and makes it feel like you are really in an apocalypse world with nothing but your trusty weapons to survive

It makes me happy knowing this update makes the mod significantly fairer. There's still some uh.. questionable, design decisions, but for the most part S&R is no longer a mod made by sadists for masochists.

So, I looked on the wiki, and in the Upcoming Content section, it mentions something called "The Source". It doesn't say much, but from what info I can gather it seems to be very similar to the Gravemind from Halo, in that it's a massive boss entity that's the source of the infection, and the one responsible for the spread of Beckons.

The mod is heading towards a bad path due to how OP the parasites are, they are litterally undefeatable by vanilla means and you need specific mods to actually stand a slight chance, atleast in RL craft you could somehow manage.

The problem is there is no proper way to reset the counter . There are no strong items to help the player. There are no ways to completely stop the progress unless you keep grinding (mob killing)every second in this world.

This is giving me the same vibes as some games like Project Zomboid - the goal isn't to 'win' but just see how long you can survive for. It's so damn crazy now.

I feel like someone should make an extension mod that adds a double-barrel shotgun and a chainsaw, as well as a much better armour for use when fighting the parasites. You know, kinda like Doom.

I can't believe I'm seven days late to this video. That aside, there's some pretty cool stuff here, but as I said on your last SRP update video there are glaring issues when it comes to balancing. Personally, the main offenders for me are the enderman, succors, the Bogle, and the Haunter. Ever since 1.9.6 (and even in later versions), the enderman seems to be EVEN more aggressive than what it once was, as no matter where I went in my survival world I'd always be attacked by hoards of endermen and the mobs they teleported with them (as they can see through walls and teleport each other; I believe their detection radius may have been increased by a lot). Succors bother me because of the frequency in which they're employed by preeminent parasites, and their ability to teleport their summoner to them (something that can essentially one shot you since they have melee attack rate similar to a charging reeker) is ridiculous. As for the Bogle and Haunter, you pretty much got that covered in this video. I really do like this new adaption logic though, as having them become adapted to entire damage types was extremely annoying. Beyond that however, we still do not have a way to brew and make use of immaleable potions, nor were any new weapons introduced to balance out the introduction of these new and extremely powerful parasites. And I wasn't even aware of how punishing the entity orbs or dreadnaught pods from dispatchers were, but seeing them now has only strengthened the way I feel about this mod. It has amazing concepts behind it and great mob design, but extremely poor balancing. Here's to hoping things will eventually change.

The devs need to really work on balancing the player v parasite combat and interactions before adding more mobs, its sort of creating this snowballing issue thats been going on for a while now

i like how you actually know what your doing and you put so much work into your videos, thank you

Someone should make a resident evil-like map/game based off scape and run parasites. With a gun mod obviously. Swords won't be enough.

This Mod needs a balancing update, it gets more impossibly hard with nearly every update they do.

Nice and comprehensive video of all the parasites. I tried playing this mod recently but I never managed to see most of the new parasites. I got stuck on phase 3 because a bunch of incomplete forms filled up a cave and capped the mob count.

With how powerful the parasites are I wouldn't be surprised if you are suppose to use it with other mods that give you op gear.

Remember kids, if you are having trouble with actually playing this mod, play it with the mcdungeons and inventorypets mod Makes this mod ALOT more tolerable (at phase 1-6 at least as that’s as far as I go usually)

They should add some new armor and weapons because the new parasites are way too strong.😮

Woah, love that this mod is getting much appreciated updates, I hope it keeps going in a darker direction, there's always something ominous about seeing the parasites get more and more of a hold on your world by the day, like some cancer that spreads without end.

I just think a genuine challenge is one of the appeals of this mod and while yeah, it does remove the more casual crowd i just enjoy that there is finally an apocalypse mod and that feels like a apocalypse. Where you have to think tactfully about your actions to stay alive and change your behaviour when its installed.

These videos are getting better and better. Keep up the good work :)

this mod is legitimately one of the best looking mods i have ever seen. the work put into this mod and its animations is crazy

No matter how much work is put into a mod, the mod will fail if it reaches the point of being unplayable. Until players have gain an actual chance to survive against the parasites, there is next to no chance the mod will be popular despite its well implemented design.

Would love to see someone make modpack similar to Blightfall based on this mod and maybe techguns and some serious balancing.

If Minecraft had the world evils of Terraria, and said world evils were buffed to hell and back.

To make this mod balanced and fun you seriously need to spent an hour in the config files looking for every option needing balancing. Before any changes they literally survive multiple antimatter rockets, its OP as fuck

Letts gooo, i was specifically waiting for you to review the updates

It seems that the mod isn't one that you should defeat just because you progressing, it seems that you have to SURVIVE while progressing endlessly through parasitic hellscape that consume your Planet in hyperspeed infection. I kinda like the concept that the mod subtly tell you to never engage at any danger and should always run, hide and defend yourself rather than trying to be a Hero.

13:32 i like how they kick the players like the footballs as every parasites supposed to but even better lol

Oh boi I love your cinematic intro's keep creating good content man!

I love watching this mod when eating my breakfast

Yeah once this mod is complete it’s defo only going to be fair if there’s like a million other mods your running to make yourself op

Those mob are amazing and insanely Absurdly Powerful, i hope we will get some armor and weapon to deal or just resist against them

I think there should be stiff like pesticide (and different types for different parasites) that you can spray on surfaces to deter the parasites and add to arrows and other weapons to do more damage, but you would have to keep reapplying it often. there should be a way to carry the meat stuff away somewhere else so it doesn't keep respawning right where you killed it. There should also be some kind of really strong glass that the flying ones can't break.

This made my day, I'm happy to see you made theese reviews! My only problem so far with the new updates is that I detected a heavy drop in spawnrates. I have Zombie awareness mod installed too, and previously the Parasites swarmed me allways, now only normal mobs tends to spawn. Any help with this?

I'm waiting for some big turrets or something to be added to this mod cause these guys give me big zerg and halo flood vibes with the infecting and adapting stuff.

Scape and Run Parasites: Because you need something worth using HBM's top tier nukes on.

The modders need to pump the breaks cause they’re rapidly falling into the trap of quantity over quality. There’s just too much with not enough polish or balance, and at this rate the only way to make this mod actually fun is to download more OP mods or massively alter the config stats.

"Get me this mod" "But sir it has tentacles and scary" "GET ME THIS MOD"

This mod just keeps getting better.... cant wait for part 2!

Thanks dude, I was wondering how stuff like the dispatcher works and this was helpful.

Cool update! The mod just keeps getting better (and harder). Tho i dont really like the health boost in certain parasites becouse ive barely survived the older versions..

and just when this mod couldn't get anymore terrifying, it just did

so that's why my bunker gets filled with parasites, a sneaky dispatcher tentacle bring parasites there. Thank you so much for this information!

I really hope they or another mod will add a way to permanently cleanse the dimension your in of parasites from stage 8 to -2 but only in the dimension your in. Would be nice and adds and objective

once this mod comes out to later updates lost trinkets will be a great counter to these (it can burn entities targeting you)

Boy theese guys surely love making 'The Thing' Apocalypses

I admit, I love the aesthetic of this mod. It is very cosmic horror-like and Lovecraftian, and it's clear that a lot of love has been put into it, but the main detractor here is that there is basically no progression for the player. It seems to be purely endgame gear, no mid or early game. It seems like this mod is meant to be played with other mods that allow for early to mid game gear, like RLCraft (which is a mod pack, I know) Also, there is basically no way to figure out the infection level of the world without a command. It would be nice to know what level the world is at so you can prepare. In addition, some lore behind these parasites would be nice. It seems like they just appear in your world without explanation. Maybe something like a meteor with a foreign parasite.

Nice to sse your video again man, I really like youtuber like you. You sure did a research and take your time.. keep it up^^

I'm getting some MAJOR Resident Evil vibes from this mod, guys... Wouldn't be surprised if the Nemesis showed up as a Crude tier parasite.

The zombie dragon oughta be my favorite way to show fear in multiplayer

I know you are not a guy who uploads videos in these types but if you make a video on immersive engineering it would be awesome

All of this OP new mobs but we really know that the ender man is the real G. I mean how unbalanced can you be that THEY ADD A BUTTON TO DISABLE YOU

As much as I love the idea of these new mobs being OP as shit I fear for the mods longevity. I'm someone who already tends to avoid fights in minecraft when I can, and I play with keepInventory on and mobGriefing off because goddammit it's my world and my play experience I get to the decide the rules, so I dont see myself getting particularly frustrated with the difficulty. That being said, the way I play the game is not universal, as a lot of the comments here make very clear. I do hope the devs consider adding counters to the parasites to give the player a chance. The idea of OP terrifying mobs is fun in concept, but when executed poorly it can really divide the playerbase.

Btw 20 Minecraft ticks is exactly half a second in real time now that doesn't sound bad but once you consider that nearly all of the special abilities that most of the mobs have also run on that amount of ticks and the mobs in question have fast attacks

Could be fun to add in a Halo Minecraft server. The Parasites seem like a fun alternative to the flood.

Yo Crimson you might want to check the damed change logs for this mod because a few very subtle updates have been added to this mod

It's so freaking insane. I like it

Man, scape and run, Devs really have no mercy, and I mean no mercy at all.😂

I've been waiting you for a long time to watch this video!!

The concept of the mod is very good, the designs of the creatures are magnificent, but it has exorbitant design and balance flaws that make it unplayable and not very enjoyable, my respects to those who work on the mod, it is not an easy job, but a mod It is there to enjoy it and this is unenjoyable without making a fair balance.

I did a world on parasites where there were several islands. Eventually my island was overrun (stage 6) they grew underground and I couldn't do anything about it. I wish there was a way t9 fight back against them. Maybe add a fire weapon and make them less adaptive.

Happy to see the Juggernaut from Halo 2 get some love, even if it's in a minecraft mod.

This mod is probably meant to be played with mods that give you OP gear, otherwise it's just another "die in full diamond in under 3 seconds" mod

I think this mod is officially the hardest video game the mankind can make

Can we appreciate that fact that this mod is most likely based on the FLOOD fro halo and the THING which I think is badass

The fact that some of the parasites variants attacks has no invincibility frames is just ludicrous

finally, you made a video about it

Wow this really has evolved

I'm waiting for part 2!

To make the mod even harder, they should add a mechanic that if some type of hight tier parasite is low, the call all the litle one to him and asimilate them to heal itself.

I have managed a hardcore world with only minimum damage off and needler toned down it's probably the funnest experience I have had. Sadly 1.9.8 is completely broken in difficulty so hardcore worlds are impossible to start past 1.9.7 the reason being that the rupter changes in 1.9.8 make it so you will get to high phases extremely quickly so I recommend not using that version.

Tough but fair is the best way this mod should go, but we will see, I have faith they will balance things out. It is a W.I.P mod after all, anyway has anyone heard of the infection mod? It similar to scap and run but with a big different, I haven't seen much of it and I would like an update on it.

Been waiting for this

Welp, time to bring out VMW 3.0², Spartan Weaponry and Elenai Dodge 2.

You know what's more annoying once you see an *assimilated creeper.*

The way I see this mod is that it’s probably designed to be played alongside military-themed mods, in order to allow you to get weapons and technology that gives you an edge against the parasites.

" *You HAVE to purge this sickness from our world.* "

i like how the scaperune devs are very brutal, it forces players to work together

If they gave us guns or friendly mobs that actively hunt for this corruption, this mod can be playable.

Why do they keep making this mod so high quality it’s getting amazing and scary how high quality mods can truly be

I feel like the point of this mod is to inflict hopelessness, as the creatures become stronger, you become more helpless to do anything, besides there are plenty of armor and weapon mods people can add to make it easier

I really hope at some point it becomes available for 1.18

3:40 is when my expression switched to pure terror Edit: After learning that dispatchers evolve after a countdown, I have officially fallen to despair.

It's been 3 months since Crimson uploaded a video. What happened? Either way I'm going to give a review in regards to the video. Here's my review: The first paragraph talks about how Crimson nailed it on a few aspects of the video. The second paragraph talks about how Crimson yet again nailed it on a few aspects of the video. The last paragraph discusses of few things but there were some bias however. The conclusion/what could have been improved paragraph discusses on the video overall. 10/10 Minecraft mod update review/showcase. Firstly I would like to talk about the audio, thumbnail, video title and the cinematic intro. The audio was great, no moments that were ear piercing from what I can notice, the sounds added fitted the situations shown and gave that extra immersion to the video. The thumbnail is amazing, no clickbait and has a brief showcase through one picture of everything the video has to offer. The video title is great, no clickbait and goes straight to the point. The cinematic intro was amazing, it is a nice introduction to the video as it briefs you on what you'd expect. Secondly, I would like to talk about the description, the timestamps and the editing. The description is wonderful! You gave so much information on there, I'm speechless in regards to the description, it was filled with so much useful information. The timestamps are nice, it felt a bit to many but their there for the convenience so it doesn't bother me personally. The editing was great, balanced between to much and to little. Lastly, I would like to discuss about the length of the video, the commentary and the gameplay shown. The length of the video personally for me feels good, not to long nor to short for a Minecraft mod update review/showcase. The commentary was ok, it felt odd? Perhaps it's because of my bias towards Crimson's voice. The gameplay shown was amazing, I'll extend further about the gameplay in the next paragraph which is the conclusion/what could have been improved. In conclusion, everything was well put together and the information shown wasn't to overwhelming for the average player but still had some technical things for technical players. Here are two things that could have possibly been improved, during the miscellaneous timestamp, you talked about how some parasites activating their abilities have flame particles now and showed gameplay of one of the parasites activating their abilities, instead of showing one you could have showed multiple by either making a 4 person screen or a quick speed up gameplay of them activating their abilities or added several seconds to the video to show all of the parasites that do this. However I can understand you avoiding this to not waste people's time and the headache. In the Arachnida timestamp you showed gameplay of the Arachnida, but one of the things you didn't mention was the Arachnida movement for both primitive and adapted, I'm going based off memory but I don't recall them ever doing movement like that when attacking in melee. That's all I have to say, remember to stay safe and have a good time. (:

These things really remind me of john carpenter’s the thing, and i’m all for it

Now make some Anti-Parasite Weapons and add a singular Anti-Parasite mob.

Sheesh you'll need A LOT of guns...and explosives...like SHIPPING CONTAINERS of high-grade explosives just for the bigguns
