The Haunting Allure of Luigi's Mansion
Happy Halloween! Luigi's Mansion is a game that I always had a weird fascination with for nearly two decades, despite only finishing it for the first time just a few years ago. There's always been something mysterious and "off" about it, ranging from its strange premise and presentation to its status as a rarely discussed cult classic... well, rarely discussed for a Mario game, anyway.
In this video, I take a deep dive into Luigi's Mansion to see what makes it so strangely alluring, and how it keeps me coming back to it year after year!

How Hollow Knight Masters Mystery
Переглядів 31 тис.3 місяці тому
Hollow Knight is one of the most popular and beloved indie games ever made, and for good reason! Even as someone with little patience for trying and learning new games, this one managed to hook me and became one of my all-time favorites back when I first played it 7 years ago. It's commonly believed that Hollow Knight has a massive, cryptic, and unforgiving world to explore, so how did I manage...

Another AM2R Retrospective

I'm back, and with a video too! The early 2010s were pretty dire for Metroid fans, with the previous game in the series being seen as a major letdown by the most diehard among them. With no indication if Nintendo had any interest in taking the series back to its roots in the next installment (let alone if there would even BE a next installment), the fans took it upon themselves to create the ne...

A seemingly never-ending treasure trove of content not designed around microtransactions just sounds too good to be true, but Ghost Ship Games manages to pull it off with style. Let's take a look at just about everything De...

Mr. Krabs becomes a Bastion Main (Beep Boop Bop Overwatch Parody)
As someone who is barely even past Fog Canyon and Crystal Peaks. If there were a set of a few videos I need to watch but also accidentally spoiled the story for myself just for the extra insight, it'd be this and a few Charm Guides and Iceberg lore videos. But thank you for your insights on Deepnest. Ill take as much info I need to prepare for that abyss
A supremely based retrospective by BasedSam!
Egg 6:51
I've beaten Zero Mission 4 or 5 times all times in less than 3 hours each.
That fall into deepnest from the fungal wastes, yeah I feel that. Yeah I lived that. It took me hours to get out of that terrifying place.
Ridley doesn't need to grab you I've beat him without him grabbing me almost every time.
The quality of this video is ABSURD. Subscribing so everyone knows I was here when you eventually blow up. Absolutely loved this, keep cooking
In my opinion you should only need one rocket to shoot down a red door. Why the hell does it take five?
This game and the Resident Evil remakes* are prime examples of remakes done right. *not including Resident Evil 3 Remake even though I still enjoy it personally.
Those omega Metroids were so much harder in version 1.0 Milton had to nerf them as a last minute patch before Nintendo hit the cease and desist order
Hi, question, are you a geek critique fan, cause on many points in this video you seem to agree with him, almost to the word
yep! he was absolutely a big inspiration for me making these metroid videos. my thoughts are my own, but i definitely leaned on his style of presentation and humor in these older videos. i like to think i've found my own unique voice in the meantime :)
Metroid II: The Return of Samus was my first game. It confused me a lot, and I didn’t really enjoy it as a child. Zero Mission was my second game, and that’s when I really started enjoying Metroid as a franchise. Then, the original Metroid game mode inside Zero Mission made me realize that I enjoyed the sense of direction and purpose in the newer games, so when my big brother finally allowed me to get my hands on his precious “Metroid Fusion”, I not only was ready; but I fell in love with the story. Replayed it twice with absolutely no complaints. Zero Mission was good, up until the Chozodia “zero suit” plot twist. I know it adds to the story, but I never found much value in that section. So at least for me, Fusion is where it’s at.
I'm just beating Metroid Zero Mission now... One of my top 5 experiences in terms of gaming I've ever had. Amazing.
diagonal shinespark is easy, just aim diagonaly with the shoulder buttons and then press jump
Not seeing anyone mention this, so I wanted to say the Long Beam is easily skippable!
Theres hollow knight and super metroid, then everything else.
18:30 Damn. Dude just shamelessly ripped off a Dunkey bit. UA-cam and plagiarism go together like PB&J lmao.
AAM2RR
Wtf are u using an Xbox controller for x.x
if it's any consolation, i have an SN30 pro now :p
With her metroid dna, does Samus gey hurt if she would eat icecream?
I somehow got to the dreamers before I even got Mantis Claw or desolate dive
WTF do "fans" buy nintendo products regardless?
I remember when this game came out. And I really liked this game because of the story, atmosphere and bosses. and being chased by "yourself" was scary af.
The Metroid dying was kinda sad. But I could see it becoming a problem if it would have turned into a queen also xD
Absolute radiance was a joke from team chery aperently. It was meant to be almost unbeateble or smt.
98900X3D! 1 PLine
The levels of genius in this game are amazing. Still being played 30 years later, because of all the forethought and great design. Sequence breaks, the story, music, sound effects, all combine to create a game that is as good the 100time you play it as well as the first.
Ive played all the 2d metroids and i think super and dread are the best.
11:00 right, Its just a coincidence that a third game took place in a hotel and the fact that Luigi has a ghost helping him. Also Bogmire's my favorite boss in the game just due to how he's a literal manifestation of the Mansion's fear and despair and how his fight can be difficult to get gold on if with all the shadows coming after you.
i do think bogmire's lore is interesting, i just wish they could have somehow incorporated it into the game itself instead of just being supplemental backstory. no idea how they could do that, but without that knowledge he just comes off as kind of a "generic shadow monster" that appears out of nowhere
Loved the video and your delivery/sense of humor
The map and mansion design is really iconic, although the mansion has windows on the exterior but can’t find any of them in the inside of the mansion
Dude trust me, 26 IS young 😂
I didn't find Chauncey to be scary or creepy
Moss Prophet Dung Defender Hive Knight Are my top 3 characters. But I mean I dont dislike a single character. I honestly wish I had known about this game and supported it on kickstarter before it was already out and fully dlcd. I'd love to have a character ghost in it
Hollow Knight is my favorite metroidvania and it's also the only one I ever fully finished. Its top 10 indie games I've ever played and it took over my creative brain for over 3 years. Writing and drawing stories in the world of Hollownest
Personally for me. The more elemental and special effect stuff in games the better. Borderlands having Radiation, Acid, Fire, Ice, and even Electricity is awesome. Fallout has lots too but my favorite is poison, radiation, and plasma. :)
Luigis Mansion was and is in my top 20 gamecube games and Luigis Mansion 3 is in my top favorite Switch games
Ahem ahem I CAN'T SEE MY BOO-TIFUL WIFE!!
I sub just to be safe from king boo horror
Are you by chance a Jimothy cool fan?
every muk has its monday
I will not stand for Bogmire slander in this house 😤
My head canon for why king boo always looks different is because there are actually multiple different king boos and each one presides over their own portion of Mario hell. Like they’re supposed to be the Mario variant of hell’s demon princes.. but I’m pretty sure that only translated to my brain
i hella relate to your first impression of the game. as a kid the mystery of it made me too scared to explore it (I was already scared to play 64 by myself due to bowser's laugh and the emptiness of it, so LM was like that turned to 100) . its hilarious how short of a game it is but it took me years to finish as a kid. but even as a like a 5 year old who couldnt graps, it still left a deep impression to where i love the game dearly. i can watch speedruns an lets play back to back to back
How many boos did you say you sucked?
i'm sucking every last boo in that house and nobody is going to stop me
@basedsamtv hahaha you'll make a great addition to the mansion
Watching this video is like watching someone reading my thoughts about luigis mansion literally my first score was 97,000,000 and your high score is mine. Also i hate 3ds ver. For same reasons, i play for same reasons, and i like the original for simmilar reasons. I guess everybody likes it for very simmilar reasons.
I played 2 before 1 (recently finished) on 3DS. I prefer the controls on 2. 1:45 Yes! 3:10 Forever 35! 4:55 😆. 6:15 🤣. 6:45 Still don't understand the use of calling Mario. 9:25 I like that. 11:35 Yes! 11:55 💝. 12:45 😭. The fitness guy puzzle is the most difficult. 13:55 Yes. 15:10 Short, yes. Content, not really. 24:25 Yes😭. 24:45 It's hard to catch it in real life. 26:20 Yes, same as Disney Theme Park. 27:45 Hardest one ever, I didn't know that we can use the vacuum to hit him. 30:30 Mine's D. 33:45 No. 36:20 Yes. 36:35 The mouse is hard.
I love the first Luigi's Mansion. The newer ones never quite had the same atmosphere as the original, and the portrait ghosts remain unmatched for me
The note about capturing ghosts; Every standard ghost type has a sort of "pull strength" value. Additionally, the Portrait Ghosts, including to some degree the Boss Ghosts each have an individual value. For instance, the Gold Ghost and Speedy Spirit have a "low" pull strength. The Purple Puncher has a "med-low" strength. The Blue Twirler has a "strong" pull strength. Most Portrait ghosts have pull strengths that range from "Medium" to "Strong", with one notable exception being Madame Clairvoya, who, uniquely, has the lowest pull strength of all the ghosts in the game. The pull strength value determines how fast the ghost moves, how hard it pulls against Luigi and in most cases, how violently the ghost changes direction. Stronger ghosts tend to require more use from the C-Stick. I learned from the 3DS version that the C-Stick can influence Luigi's pulling ability by yanking it. It's not necessary, I got all gold frames as a kid without even knowing about it, but it _can_ help. I still don't fully understand its mechanisms though, so perhaps it's placebo. The ghosts will break free if they're allowed to build up enough strength to do so. Their strength builds as long as they aren't being pulled, and drains when being pulled. Though they will also break free if they manage to catch an object between Luigi and themselves, or if Luigi has simply held onto them for too long, regardless of how much strength they've built up. Hope this helps anyone reading it <3
Also just want to add on that you are the first person I've ever seen dunk on Bogmire. Most people seem unanimous in that he's one of the more unnerving parts of the game.
Bring back Luigi’s insightful commentary on the objects in the mansion next game, that was peak
"I'm quite taken with this" "Ick it's full of moth holes" "Weird"
@@Jigen0 My favorite is "It's a picture, but I wouldn't call it art." A close second is "This would never pass the white-glove test..."
If you haven't already, try to play the PAL version, it has some changes which are for the better IMO
yeah I wanted to bring it up at some point, but I don't think I would've gotten the video out in time if I did. it's a cool version of the game but not super relevant to my personal experience playing it, so it wasn't a top priority.
@@basedsamtvI can agree with that, plus I have the 3ds version which adds the unused pal features, well most of them
