FIRED UP FOR WORK.
BUT PLAY WITH FIRE AND YOU'LL GET BURNED.
I know we did this in the original 2008 version, but with brand new graphics, sidequests, and weapon mechanics, I think it's a question worth asking. The remake is not a remaster, after all, and everything is wildly different.
Can you beat Dead Space 2023 (the Dead Space Remake) with only a flamethrower?

A flamethrower is essentially a firebomb that you squeeze the contents out of
I deal in firebombs and firebomb accessories, I tell ya hwat.
@@TheBacklogs That boy ain't right...
@@giftedfox4748 but he's not wrong though
Like a toothpaste tube of victory and flame.
@@TheBacklogs It's a good clean burning bomb.
Considering that the contact beam looks like a plasma thrower, I think we can technically calm it a flamethrower since plasma is a superheated gas that has the appearance of burning. It’s a futuristic flamethrower.
reminds me of a fan-story where someone from a different continuity wound up in Dead Space... she used the "pulse cannon" exclusively (i think that's what it's called) while Isaac used the Beam Cutter exclusively.
@@ericb3157link?
@@ericb3157and this just reminded me of a fic where the same thing happened, except it was a boy and he used the flamethrower.
So a flame thrower rnd made on every crack imaginable
@@archrp7868 , future crack is a hell of a drug.
The one enemy didn't crash the game, he just wanted to praise the flamethrower forever. He loved it so much needed to stand in the fire like a hug.
So fun fact, that first infector room gets easier if you stomp on that body pile you made, both in the remake and original. They can only transform full corpses, and its funny when it whips a u-turn and walks right back in the room when the AI realizes it cant do its job.
Isn't it only if they have a head? I think if they're headless then an infector can't change them
@@jacthing1 So interesting news. I had a friend test for me. For the remake, and at least for the morgue attack, the infector won't change any corpses that have ANY missing limbs. Arms, legs, head, apparently if any part is missing it'll ignore it.
That’s an old tactic I completely forgot about. I used to stomp every single body I came across just in case lol
If you're after more challenge run ideas, here's one I'd love to see: can you beat Dark Souls 2 left handed? Rules: you can only use weapons designed to be used in the left hand, including parrying daggers, the special sword with the improved left hand moveset, the torch, and shields. You can only use weapons in the left hand, with the exception of shields, which must be used in the right hand. Aside from that, the usual rules of "no exploits or cheats," "beat all bosses possible," etc.
that's the best idea I've ever heard
If I am not mistaken it's almost the same as "Can you beat Dark Souls 2 with a slight dmg nerf?" Correct me if I am wrong, but this doesn't make for a run challenging or unique enough imo.
but that's just playing the game, but you press a different button to attack.
can I suggest a DS shield-only run?
@@enot2140It has to be weapons with unique attacks in the left hand, such as the Artorias greatsword (I forgot the name).
Dang it sucks you have to blur out large portions of the amazing work they did in the gore in this game.
Doesn't have to; chose to do so. Still sucks either way.
@@KainYusanagi Probably related to youtube's reaction to the Calisto Protocol video. And until he gets any sort of answer as to why he has to make some guesswork.
@@fredclasson7865 multiple youtubers have talked about how they have to cencor gore now cause its not 'advertiser friendly'
@@KainYusanagi I mean, technically he doesn't "have to", but if he wants to make any money off all the effort he put into the video he does. KZhead's demonetization rulings get stricter and stricter every day.
He does if he wants to make money
technically, this run can have the Flamethrower accessed from the very first Store if you play on New Game+, and if you can make it to the beginning of NG+ without upgrading to a new suit or using any power nodes, you could actually have a significantly harder version of this Challenge thanks to the Phantom Necromorphs!
Also the special edition came with a bunch of weapons that act as NG+ accessibility to the other weapon types, effectively.
For the first regenerator, CarcinogenSDA did a run of this and just ran in a circle around the room not bothering to waste ammo. Apparently, the whole thing is time-based.
Which is good because my first playthrough, he immediately despawned when he broke out of the glass. I wasn't facing him when he broke out and honestly thought it was the developers mixing things up. Nope, it was just an odd bug lol
I don't comment much but I want to say, I absolutely LOVE your content, not only because of the skill and time you put into the challenges but also your humor. You make not only myself laugh but my kids as well. Keep up the amazing work!
So far, my favourite flamethrower was in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, mainly because scoring sneak criticals with a flamethrower and oneshoting a deathclaw like that is very funny
The one two punch at 8:55 of 'Lights? Life Support? You know, this should be an easy choice." to 'I should've chosen Life Support!" just hit in a way I didn't expect.
Your challenge runs actually inspired me to get the "One Gun" achievement when this came out, and it was pretty fun doing it too. great vid man.
good work
Thanks
The contact beam looks like it's just a flamethrower if the flamethrower was a hose and you just put your thumb over the nozzle. I'd say you're in the clear
I mean I for one would be interested in watching a ng+ contact beam only run lol, seems like it'd be a fun one
Great quality as always, fingers crossed that Papa youtube won't demonetize this video too with the censorship you've done. Keep it up!
Honestly every weapon in any game should be able to be used through the entire game (Final bosses included)
Yeah, being softlocked out of the ending because you brought the "wrong" weapon to the boss sucks, like, come on, it's a flamethrower, how can you NOT use it?
I remember saying almost the exact same thing on his demon souls firebomb run I genuinely do not understand why games will have weapons that just arbitrarily do not work That being said I do actually really appreciate that lemon uploads challenges that are impossible keeps the ultimate destination a surprise
@@zombieslayer2016 Yeah, immunities and straight breaking weapons is just bad design choice IMO. I can 100% agree with resistances, even really heavy resistances, but pure immunities to a damage or weapon type, that's just telling the player they aren't allowed to use the tools you gave them, and that's not kosher.
@@nssheepster That's nothing to do with the bosses or what the game intends, in this instance it's to do with how the flamethrower is coded. The flamethrower itself is not considered a weapon, but rather an output that just spawns fire in certain directions. The secondary attack was originally coded as a projectile, making the flamethrower a weapon and thus being able to trigger the hit registry, but in this game it's just another spawn point for fire. It's an oversight moreso, not so much a design choice, as this was able to be used through the entire game (from getting it at least) before the remake to my knowledge.
I can't agree with that, it limits desighn, imagine if in metal gear solid 5 when you are in a sniper battle with quite instead of using a sniper rifle, it was just as viable to take an LMG and spray at her, parts of a game being incomparable with part of your toolkit is necessary for those parts to stay interesting and not just be auto completes, having said that arbitrary immunities are also not fun, in most cases, the fire boss in mg5 is another good example, because he was outright immune to bullets, he basically was just a waiting puzzle with a ranged attack and you have to look for the spots to wait for him to get to, however if he just took damage he'd be a bullet sponge
I love your presentation in all of your videos. Hilarious dialog with expert timing and phenomenal editing. Keep being awesome.
I rewatch your stuff so often that I never really notice you gone 😅
LOVED hearing geoff plays guitar at the end, the hades melody is my fav cover and its such a good boss fight music choice!
Thanks so much for your videos! Your content is amazing, and no matter what anyone else says, you at least have one fan that laughs at (most) of your jokes!
The color seems off.
on a side note, I love how chen demise is both different and the same it was in the original they really managed to get the feeling of YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHRGHHHHHHH intact, while adding on top of it!
Great video! I am amazed at how much your content has improved! Thank you for your hard work!
Fighting demons with hellish weapon is a brilliant idea🤔
Been waiting for a new Dead Space vid from you! Love it!!!
Your humor on this one was delightful. :3 Dead Space is one of my favorite games, and I was delighted by this remake with the sheer amount of lore and details crammed in. The run was also fun as hell, I didn't realize it was even doable- I've seen folks do it with the plasma cutter, but flamethrower is a fun challenge, even the game being uncooperative at the very end. I feel like Isaac would get along with Doom Guy.
If you're looking for more runs to do, I've been having a lot of fun playing Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous-- on my third run now and playing around in this game is really fun but also addicting and punishingly difficult. Though you it doesn't look like you've done any CRPG content on the channel yet (I could be wrong), I've been having a blast and the strategic elements have been scratching the itch for another XCOM game-- something you have sunk some time into. Regardless, thanks for the great content! Been around since the Pokemon vid you did way back
What an excellent run!! I love watching you bend and break games that I couldn't beat normally in a thousand years!
Thanks for your dedication, your uploads always brighten my day
Thanks! Always glad to hear people enjoy my antics haha
@@TheBacklogs which of the three is your favorite dead space game
I love this man's videos so easy to enjoy
Hopefully KZhead doesn’t restrict the video again.
Oh no! You got so far with the flame thrower! I solute though for trying bud. I love you channel, and props for using the Argent metal :)
Backlogs upload, Dead Space 2023, saturday is now blessed. Thank you, Lemon!
love the video can't wait for the next challenge
So wait... was it THIS video that got demonitized? SERIOUSLY?! DEAD SPACE IS ALL OVER OTHER GAMERS' CHANNELS AND LEMON GETS HIT BY IT?!
Love this channel makes my day worth while
If you throw the flamethrower hard enough, something will turn into a fire bomb! Love the videos Lemon!
Thanks for the content!
Love the music dude, keep it up
Off to a great start for ur Channel
Man I can’t wait to get home and finish this game. Played the original, but this first run is Pulse Rifle and Plasma cutter. NG+ is Pulse Rifle only, then Plasma Cutter, then on to the other weapons. Like I’m so excited man.
I’m glad you got to use your other favourite gun at least. Your videos are always such a good pick me up. Thanks for everything you do ❤
Never been this early for a vid but i'm sure its great, keep it up Lemon!
Same here!
I had the pleasure of also playing this on outdated hardware, and was the game that made me finally sort out my GPU situation, my old Reliable 1060 6gb was finally retired, tho now the DS Remake is now also in my own backlog...
there's always the option of combing two easy challenge ideas into a big one. a Dead Space no stasis on enemies and no upgrades. Love the challenge runs Lemon, keep up the awesome work.
It's been awhile since I opened KZhead and forgot why I subscribed to you. I remember it now by watching this video, Lemon is so entertaining!
just wanna say u r awsome man keep it going
Isaac must have some reinforced bones for all the times he's flung around, great video!
So many censers
Would love to see a challenge run with the gun you are excited about. Looks interesting
Is it just me or is the coloring weird?
I was looking for a comment like this, it's coppery as hell for some reason
yup the sepia filter is annoying for sure
Looks annoying af
Thank you alot Lemon to bring a Flame into my life. Your COntent is always very entertaining joyfull and fun at the same time. Perfect if you need to forget how bad things somtimes are and just want have fun for 30 min and enjoy things. So really thank you alot. The work you doe means more to alot ppl then you think. I wish you and Miss Lemon the best and have a wonderful day.
Missed a great a la carte opportunity there 😂 kinesis only run? New to channel and running through the backlog (see what I did there) of videos now. Not sure if it's been done but that sounds cool.
Great video! Love that @GeoffPlaysGuitar is getting his music out into videos. He deserves it.
I've been waiting for this
Another Incredible Video!!!
Commenting for the algorithm. Keep up the great work!
Hey lemon just wanted to say youve quickly become my favorite youtuber! Keep it up brother.
Damn the first 25 seconds hit so close to heart. I mean my PC is even worse but I definitely know what low FPS gaming looks like and that's about as close as it gets
Corporate: "Employee 0285:The Backlogs, is a good employee and will not be subject to termination. A welcoming party will be initiated when he returns from content drought"
thank you this is my happy time so thank you backlog for every thing you do
Excellent!
You traded the gas flamethrower for an electric one. Runs still valid.
I loved the Geoffplaysguitar cameo
That second hand joke… was not ready for that 😂😂
This is the kind of gaming content I've been missing for years.
The time of waiting is over! It has arrived!
Lemon for your Firebomb run in Elden Ring there is a summon called the jarwight puppet you can use also love the channel been here since Dark souls fist only
I love your firebomb and fire only challenges
"We're gonna be rescued by Keith David!" Now there is a callback that I don't know how many people will get
Good afternoon Lemon, yeah we missed you. Fire, whoo!
Lemon, thankyou for having sonic 3 music subtly in the background
This made me want to get this game and finally beat it.
Was having a bad afternoon, it seems that fate has decided my afternoon will now flip to being fun! WOOO!!
hope you are better now 🙂
I love how the vent fans are basically sawblades when thrown
I really wanted to do a NG+ run with only the upgraded Stasis but they take the upgrade away from you sadly. Would have been fun to just load my inventory up with stasis packs and freeze everything.
0:20 I missed you lemon. God's bless Videos.
Your text is gold man.
This couldnt have been released at a better time for me i just 100 percent completed it
Damn, wasn't expecting to hear a Geoffrey Day cover in a backlogs video! That's a fun crossover
Archer reference in the 1st 2 minutes. Now I know this is gonna be a good video
I love how Lemon talks in the first person. It’s so much fun to imagine a clueless engineer making jokes as he murders an alien race with a lighter and aerosol can.
I really enjoy the style of voice over in your videos, however I’d like some other either ambient sound or sound from in game, especially in moments where you’re responding to what is happening on screen directly.
I didn't realize the entire game had a gross yellow-green filter on it the entire time?
Why does the new Isaac look like Mark Strong and Adam Sandler had a baby? Haha Game looks amazing though! I haven’t played DS in ages, I’m definitely going to check out the remake.
"Well, I'm all out of good ideas, so guess what's left!" Oh, that is a comeback.
Is it just me or is it in "Dog Colorbllindness" mode?
The Contact beam shots Plasma so ist technicaly is a flamethrower Just a really really hot one 😂
28:22 when you really think about it lasers are just really *really* hot directional flamethrowers.
Not even five minutes in and already Mark has been a pain three times! You really need to get a restraining order on this guy!
I like that you're branching out and doing new games! On the contrary, why haven't you done much Elden Ring challenge videos at all? I assume it's because of a lack of time, which is totally understandable, just curious.
I don't like ER, so I don't do challenge runs for it. Cool game, just not what I'm looking for.
@@TheBacklogs Sweet. Thanks for letting me know :)
finishing the grave mind off with the contact beam was very satisfying
Should’ve called this video “Dead Space 2023, Pyromancies Only”
Its difficult to watch this with the censoring.
Love the continuity of the missing spleen.
Always love video game osts, Lake theme from gen 4 is a win
I love how you almost constantly had to blur out the floor to stay monetized
What a beautiful Saturday it’s turned out to be
14:08 OH GOD IT'S THE FLOOD
Would love some The Surge content.
