@@curliboi Yeah the games do exist in same universe. In between we see how eric lost his leg. Rachel and eric were outside a diner (the same diner shown in little hope) Rachel was driving and another car hit them.

He may have been talking about the accident in which Eric lost his leg.
"She looks like a wax figure of Ashley Tisdale." _Everyone_ looks like wax figures in these games. It's weird. Graphics are improving, but still deep in uncanny territory.
I don't think it will get to a point where it's not uncanny to be honest. For me the model of Ashley tisdale looked a bit off although I haven't seen her in anything for a while
yeah the animations look super robotic and fake, and her character is the worst in that regard. I think once they fix that issue it'll look much better.
My big issue is expressions only happen when characters are still. For example, when the two ancient guys were pushing open the door, their expressions were static and lifeless. If they fix them (somehow), the uncanny valley might go away
"Is this actually like what it's like to be in the military?" asked Jack. As a US veteran, active in this time frame, in this war, I can say no. It would be nice if the entertainment industry could consult veterans on more than once every five years or so on a project. It ruins any immersion for veterans when they get it so wrong.
Thank you for your service. Both my dad and his twin served, long before I came along. Dad was highest level clearance cryptographer in Alaska, not too sure about my uncle. We're not super close. Not wartime service, thankfully. In fact we have a long line of military ancestry. I'm trying to get him to write down stories about his experience in the service, both for my own enlightenment and for posterity. I doubt I'm the only one who'd appreciate them.
Seeing as you have first hand experience, I'd appreciate an elaboration on what they got wrong. (And, if applicable, what they got right.) As a writer, I know fiction can have this way of reducing human beings to stereotypes or sets of character traits, so I'm always interested in accounts from real people for reference.
"he took it hard but not as hard as your wife took him" i looked at jack's cam when he said that to see him staring straight at the lense with the most shit eating grin. funny as fuck 😭
I remember early in the war they made a playing deck of terrorist targets and they were relatively popular. I think the goal was to make it easier to identify targets b/c If you're out in the desert and all you can do when waiting around is play cards, you might as well be memorizing faces at the same time.
came in the comments to say this. The deck was literally THE top list of "America's Most Wanted". Saddam Hussein was the Ace of Spades (literally enemy #1) until his capture in 2003, after which Osama Bin Laden took the Ace of Spades spot in newer decks. According to Wikipedia: "As of 2021, all but 4 of the 52 most wanted have been either killed or captured, eleven of whom have been released."

Just to let you know, that statue ("the devil himself") when they go deeper in the tomb is Pazuzu from The Exorcist. This is mesopotamia and women of Greece would pray to him to protect their children from Lamia. they considered him the lesser of two evils. Sorry for the history nerd rant, I just find it facinating they have him in here.
Lesser from two evils? Then why pray to him and not to "normal" gods, or even pharaon, since they treat him like a god? Also, thanks for a fact, I love reading about that stuff, it's always nice to learn something
Fun fact: Akkad was one of the first civilizations that arose in the Middle East along the Tigris and Euphrates. The writing you see on the steles are a system of sumerian writing called cuneiform. Otherwise known as *this is not Egypt.* however, the swords they were using are Egyptian.It's called a " *Khopesh.* "
One of the first civilisations. And also the first empire in history. I love history. And the Gutian invasion of Sumer was real too. Glad they had history in game.
It ticks me off seeing a Khopesh being used by the Assyrian. They do have a similar looking sword called the Sickle Sword but that's entirely in a different century than mentioned. GET UR HISTORY RIGHT DEVS!

interesting story about those playing cards: they were given to soldiers so that not only could they play cards, but familiarize themselves with key targets if any soldiers encountered them.
Sounds more like something that would be said if the game took place in Afghanistan where the tribals will legitimately just shoot at you because they can or for street cred
Let's be honest do you really expect proper or politically correct speech from soldiers hell no they're paid to do one thing kill whatever threat stand in front of them are there bad people in the military yes but a lot more good people who love there country and believe they are protecting it
keep in mind the time in-game is 2003 and this is how some platoons and soldiers joked and conversed. Dont think about it with 2021 brain where everything is offensive. The writing and story direction is great and fits the time period.
Ok but props to the game for portraying a guard with at least SOME level of skill in hand to hand instead of just dropping dead cause it’s easier (around 8:00 )
I saw someone else upload it as a movie, and it took me until I actually saw a human to go, "wait, this isn't a movie... this reminds me of Until Dawn, is this a new game I didn't hear anything about?" And I was right. Also, I like your videos!
Phosphorus grenades aren't used to kill things though, like they said its a type of smoke grenade. It was famously misused (in this very war iirc) but that was an odd reaction to them
@@direkitsune It's illegal to use a WP grenade against people indoors, or target a person directly with it. Using it to scatter enemy combatants is a legal use, which is why there's no repercussions for Merwin using a WP grenade on the Republican Guard. If they'd been indoors, unable to get away from the heat and smoke, it would be a different story.
23:37 I love the little details that I haven't noticed before in this game. The icons on the books are a boat (Man of Medan), and a kind of stick figure? (Little Hope), a Crescent shape (meaning the Eclipse) the Curator is holding, and the next one on 23:41 is a V shape which is in the title card of The Devil in Me.
"Seems like we might actually have monsters" In before it's Manchurian Gold Hallucinations mixed with PTSD with a smidge of plague messing with the mind. I legit hope we are getting actual supernatural this time.
Rachel getting all offended and passive aggressive over Eric's assistant as if she isn't having an actual full on affair with someone is funny to me. "Are you cheating? Are you going to cheat on me? How dare you, only I can do that."
"I've given her full clearance." "I bet you have" What kind of person talks like that when she was just making out with another dude like 5 minutes ago?
Executioner - "You have to die now, post-haste!" Soldier A - "The king is calling!" Executioner - "I could stab you, but there's no rush. See ya tomorrow!"
The neck issues always disturb me in these games, everyone is constantly hunched over or looking like they have some kind of neck injury keeping them from turning their heads properly. Other than that I am excited!
For those who don't play this game multiple times or with 2 players, usually when another character seems to space out for a second is usually for the other character's decision. Rachel's moments in the beginning too with Eric that Sean was laughing at were those type of moments where Rachel was "making a decision"
am i the only one who wishes they would use the original version of the “Oh Death” intro song, the one in Until Dawn? it’s sung by a mournful female voice with a more folksy, country-esqe backing and arrangement. the harmonies, instrumental twangs, and the way she holds the notes give it the eeriness that i think feels so similar to the base feeling of uneasiness that you get with these more historically-based (or myth-based) supernatural tales. it invokes the truth and power of a spoken word tradition, passed down through generations in song and myth, both a story and a warning. like, as a character in the game and therefore a person experiencing a piece of that tradition, the haunting folk ballad sends a shiver that reminds you of the deep truth: that this tale or curse or sequence of events will exist not just in the present, but before and after you, outside of any amount of will or grit or intelligence you may muster. you can influence your personal survival, and may do so for some of your companions, but not much else. because these things were set in motion long before your consciousness was even thought to be formed. TLDR; the male rock version from the rest of the games does feel badass and totally rips, but it doesn’t give me the same vibe as the original, which seemed like it had a depth of history to it and created an authentic atmospheric tension.
Was about to say the original song is in Supernatural I believe 😂 but I love all the versions. I like the instrumentals of this one more than the Until Dawn one, but I like the woman’s voice in the Until Dawn one more
@@richardpaulson6002 yeah but the last two games in the series have had the EXACT same story. No to mention little hope makes any and all replay completely mute because all the attachment to the characters becomes completely pointless after a single playthrough. People played until dawn, came back because they thought we were finally getting cool scary monsters only to be slapped with piss poor writing, same story and no monsters at all.
Interesting thing I picked up right away: Jack put the affair between "Queen Bitch" and "Nicky" on ice, so now Nicky isn't really focused on the mission. His head's in the clouds. That means, by all intent, he could be the first death.
I'm a Texan (but not with an accent) and it honestly makes my day that Jack can do a good southern accent. It's also interesting to like....watch hints of the early Iraq war because I was just like 6-7ish when it began. You don't understand the war as a kid, but as an adult it makes me sad and cringe. I like the change of area and culture diversity so far!
Jack said he doesnt know many people that has survived a decapitation before, which indicates he does know at least 1 person that has survived being decapitated before
I couldn’t stop laughing at this. Jack’s reaction to Ashley Tisdale being in this, his southern accent, how he imitated Ashley Tisdale opening the notice, how he keeps just calling her Ashley Tisdale, mimicking her expressions, etc. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tbh, I thought it was hieroglyphs too. I legit completely forgot about cuneiform scriptures, we studied Mesopotamia in elementary school and never touched the argument again after that

Man, I tried to watch this last year when it came out and couldn't get into it 'cause I was confused and it looked weird, but now I've seen Man of Medan, Little Hope, and The Devil in Me, and I *need* to watch all of the Dark Pictures Anthology.
It feels so weird hearing someone in a game that jack's playing speaks in my native "Egyptian Arabic " language... Translation isn't 100% correct tho but it's still so cool
The Curator : "Understand that I am not here to help you, although I have been known to bend the rules from time to time" [23:44] Jack : "... Have you ???"

"Is this how it's actually like to be in the military?" Yes. Yes it is. That's one of the reasons I left. I was AF though, not Marines. Air Force isn't as bad - more nerds, but still negative reinforcement and yo mama jokes. Marines? They're pretty much exactly like this.

@@alinaion3297 that happened with my sister My entire family is active or veterans, and for the 4th of July she was bringing home a guy for us to meet that she been seeing for a while who she described as a vet. Q half of my family getting really angry after about 20 minutes for thinking that he was lying to her and pretending to be a veteran when in fact he was a veterinarian.
I think the problems with the previous 2 games come down to the fact that the developers REALLY want to try and place a horror game in a world that is more bound by the laws of reality, and thus the "dangers" and monsters have been lack luster because they are grounded in real situations. I really hope they throw that almost... obsession with reality out the window, and go back to the fringe supernatural fantasy that made until dawn so freaking good. It would go a long way toward redeeming the series and making it worth playing. Edit: that being said, this is really cool so far and I am cautiously excited 😊
Man, I'm super afraid to get into this one. I hate-hate-hate how the last two games did the "It's all in your head!" twist, and I'm genuinely afraid this one's going to do it too.
I didn't actually mind Little Hope's twists, but the "twist" and entire plot for Man of Medan could be figured out in the first 20 minutes. That one was disappointing.
Man of Medan did it well! And for Little Hope I always "cut away" final minutes of the game because the plottwist was game ruining. When ignoring the ending, Little hope is amazing.
"See the last two games they kinda pulled back on the whole supernatural thing" 12:31 I TOTALLY agree!! They had the opportunity to make some amazing games but especially in the last game it felt very scooby doo. They had to come up with a reasonable explanation at the end... in a video game 🤦♀️🤷♀️

54:55 There is a custom like that in México! On november 2nd Its called "day of the dead" (día de los muertos) its when people remember usually family members or friends who have passed and celebrate their life by making them an altar with offerings of their favorite food and stuff so for that day, they can come back and enjoy what they cant in the underworld (the afterlife or whatever u wanna call it) its also when people dress up and paint their faces as skulls to blend in with the dead. Its my favorite tradition and in my opinion one of the most beautiful, it makes me so proud to be mexican 🇲🇽🎉🇲🇽🎉🇲🇽
We have a day where we honour the dead too in Italy. Children receive gifts "from" the people who have passed away, like an aunt, or a great grandparent or sth. It's a good way to make sure people aren't forgotten and who doesn't love gifts. Also the gifts are usually something "small" like chocolate. When my mom was a child it was figurines/dolls made of sugar!
Pretty much equivalent to a later episode’s: “Don’t worry Salim, they’re not going to hurt you” *the marines proceed to surround Salim with machine guns and Nick makes no attempt at all to explain that Salim isn’t hostile*
Jack *in reference to a BA in mythology*: is that a thing you can actually go study? Yes, I’m going into archaeology with a focus on world mythologies.
So cool! Not sure if it's a silly question but what kind of skills would you say you need to get into archaelogy? Is it like a soft science? Or is there a side to it that's heavily science/evidence based too? Or maybe similar to learning history?
44:21 btw if anyone didn’t know this, the reason he has saddam on his playing cards is because soldiers are given playing cards known as “vehicle recognition cards” or “aircraft recognition cards” that were made with friendly and unfriendly vehicles on them, so when soldiers were playing cards in bunkers or trenches or wherever else, they would be subconsciously ingrained with what vehicles/aircraft to shoot at, and which ones were friendly. The ones he specifically had are Iraqi “most wanted” playing cards, that way when you play, you see their faces all the time, and would be more likely to spot them out in public or spot them among a group of people.

Not wartime service, thankfully. In fact we have a long line of military ancestry. I'm trying to get him to write down stories about his experience in the service, both for my own enlightenment and for posterity. I doubt I'm the only one who'd appreciate them.
THANK YOU lol you actually get it
Seeing as you have first hand experience, I'd appreciate an elaboration on what they got wrong. (And, if applicable, what they got right.)
As a writer, I know fiction can have this way of reducing human beings to stereotypes or sets of character traits, so I'm always interested in accounts from real people for reference.

I remember early in the war they made a playing deck of terrorist targets and they were relatively popular. I think the goal was to make it easier to identify targets b/c If you're out in the desert and all you can do when waiting around is play cards, you might as well be memorizing faces at the same time.
All when it was the the UN that endorsed the terrorism, history is truly written by the victors
@@ibrahimsalman5504 The UN operate quite literally on their own terms. but then again they're never the victors, only the mediators.
Those cards are worth a fortune if you own a deck irl.
came in the comments to say this. The deck was literally THE top list of "America's Most Wanted". Saddam Hussein was the Ace of Spades (literally enemy #1) until his capture in 2003, after which Osama Bin Laden took the Ace of Spades spot in newer decks.
According to Wikipedia: "As of 2021, all but 4 of the 52 most wanted have been either killed or captured, eleven of whom have been released."

Hello HOH Community
hoh and also English learners! I know I really appreciated them (and still do) for that.
the map had mythological creatures & structures on it:
- Loch Ness Monster (Scotland)
- Beast of Bodmin (Devon & Cornwall)
- Stonehenge (Wiltshire)
- Lambton Worm (Sunderland)
- Afanc (Wales)
- Clíodhna (Ireland)
Just a few that I could see.
stonehenge is a creature?
@@yeen.7209it could be really cool if Stonehenge was an ancient slumbering deity viewed as a landmark- but when unlucky tourists are there when it awakens, shenanigans happen and they’re stuck there in a perpetual dawn-dusk subuniverse where the god controls everything
Not related to the gameplay but mad respect to the team for hiering actual arabs to do the arabic voicelines instead of foreigners who would otherwise butcher it, depite the dialect being out of place considering they're speaking egyptian and they're in Iraq but it's a step forward nontheless xD
Cool story bro
@Copycat I want to say approximately the ottoman empire.
Wasn’t it Mesopotamian ?
Yeah it would have made more sense if they spoke Mesopotamian Arabic if anything.
@@BigDSizl20 It was not a story, it was a statement.
Just to let you know, that statue ("the devil himself") when they go deeper in the tomb is Pazuzu from The Exorcist. This is mesopotamia and women of Greece would pray to him to protect their children from Lamia. they considered him the lesser of two evils. Sorry for the history nerd rant, I just find it facinating they have him in here.
Wow thank you. Just learned something new today.
Thanks for the cool, fact
Didn't Pazuzu protect children from Lamashtu? Then again I could be wrong, I'm not a history nerd but im a demonology nerd.
Edit: Grammar.
Lesser from two evils? Then why pray to him and not to "normal" gods, or even pharaon, since they treat him like a god?
Also, thanks for a fact, I love reading about that stuff, it's always nice to learn something
@@UrPPhard Because Pazuzu and Lamashtu hate eachother for some reason I forgot.
Fun fact: Akkad was one of the first civilizations that arose in the Middle East along the Tigris and Euphrates. The writing you see on the steles are a system of sumerian writing called cuneiform.
Otherwise known as *this is not Egypt.* however, the swords they were using are Egyptian.It's called a " *Khopesh.* "
Can you tell me what that guys beard is? Is it meant to be braided? Or got clay in it? Or is he wearing something that looks like a beard?
One of the first civilisations. And also the first empire in history. I love history. And the Gutian invasion of Sumer was real too. Glad they had history in game.
@@powerbelly211 That is just his beard.
It ticks me off seeing a Khopesh being used by the Assyrian. They do have a similar looking sword called the Sickle Sword but that's entirely in a different century than mentioned. GET UR HISTORY RIGHT DEVS!

Jack: does not bring air support and the phosphorus grenades to help kill those things.
Spoiler
The other gameplay I watched, the WP were only used twice, and the air support didn't help much.
Yep i wanna see what happens if he brings the big guns.
the air support fucks everything
Phosphorus grenades aren't used to kill things though, like they said its a type of smoke grenade. It was famously misused (in this very war iirc) but that was an odd reaction to them
@@direkitsune It's illegal to use a WP grenade against people indoors, or target a person directly with it. Using it to scatter enemy combatants is a legal use, which is why there's no repercussions for Merwin using a WP grenade on the Republican Guard. If they'd been indoors, unable to get away from the heat and smoke, it would be a different story.
23:37 I love the little details that I haven't noticed before in this game. The icons on the books are a boat (Man of Medan), and a kind of stick figure? (Little Hope), a Crescent shape (meaning the Eclipse) the Curator is holding, and the next one on 23:41 is a V shape which is in the title card of The Devil in Me.

The neck issues always disturb me in these games, everyone is constantly hunched over or looking like they have some kind of neck injury keeping them from turning their heads properly.
Other than that I am excited!
I think that might be because of the headgear the actors have to wear for them to capture their movements
Right. It's odd
Same with their eyes being dead all the time. Like they rarely match their expression to the tone of their voice.
For those who don't play this game multiple times or with 2 players, usually when another character seems to space out for a second is usually for the other character's decision. Rachel's moments in the beginning too with Eric that Sean was laughing at were those type of moments where Rachel was "making a decision"
Ah, gotcha! Thanks for clarifying xD I was really confused ny the odd pauses
am i the only one who wishes they would use the original version of the “Oh Death” intro song, the one in Until Dawn? it’s sung by a mournful female voice with a more folksy, country-esqe backing and arrangement. the harmonies, instrumental twangs, and the way she holds the notes give it the eeriness that i think feels so similar to the base feeling of uneasiness that you get with these more historically-based (or myth-based) supernatural tales.
it invokes the truth and power of a spoken word tradition, passed down through generations in song and myth, both a story and a warning. like, as a character in the game and therefore a person experiencing a piece of that tradition, the haunting folk ballad sends a shiver that reminds you of the deep truth: that this tale or curse or sequence of events will exist not just in the present, but before and after you, outside of any amount of will or grit or intelligence you may muster. you can influence your personal survival, and may do so for some of your companions, but not much else. because these things were set in motion long before your consciousness was even thought to be formed.
TLDR; the male rock version from the rest of the games does feel badass and totally rips, but it doesn’t give me the same vibe as the original, which seemed like it had a depth of history to it and created an authentic atmospheric tension.
I wish they'd use the actual original, Lloyd Chandler's Dialogue with Death
now why the hell did you go all out for this comment LMAOO.
Even spookier is when the song is sung by an old blind lady in a rocking chair
Not really I prefer the metal version for this. Makes the intro cinematic way cooler
Was about to say the original song is in Supernatural I believe 😂 but I love all the versions. I like the instrumentals of this one more than the Until Dawn one, but I like the woman’s voice in the Until Dawn one more
I just hope this one doesn't pull the "it's a hallucination" twist again.
There’s only a slight aspect of that, relating to the entities’ venom.
@@richardpaulson6002 yeah but the last two games in the series have had the EXACT same story.

Q half of my family getting really angry after about 20 minutes for thinking that he was lying to her and pretending to be a veteran when in fact he was a veterinarian.
I think the problems with the previous 2 games come down to the fact that the developers REALLY want to try and place a horror game in a world that is more bound by the laws of reality, and thus the "dangers" and monsters have been lack luster because they are grounded in real situations. I really hope they throw that almost... obsession with reality out the window, and go back to the fringe supernatural fantasy that made until dawn so freaking good. It would go a long way toward redeeming the series and making it worth playing.

"See the last two games they kinda pulled back on the whole supernatural thing" 12:31 I TOTALLY agree!! They had the opportunity to make some amazing games but especially in the last game it felt very scooby doo. They had to come up with a reasonable explanation at the end... in a video game 🤦♀️🤷♀️

@@treasurecollins759 I mean it seemed like sean didnt know🤔 its okay!
We have a day where we honour the dead too in Italy.
Children receive gifts "from" the people who have passed away, like an aunt, or a great grandparent or sth.
It's a good way to make sure people aren't forgotten and who doesn't love gifts.
Also the gifts are usually something "small" like chocolate.
When my mom was a child it was figurines/dolls made of sugar!
I swear to fucking god if this one also ends with all just being in their heads…
I was literally thinking how are they going to screw the ending up this time? It was all a dream?
Man of Medans made sense, Little Hope was...what? The main character trying to redeem his dead families souls?
@@ironikz4006 I think he was trying to deal with the grief and trauma of his family’s deaths.

I pray that they took the Until Dawn route and make it completely real beings that stem from with actual demons.
20:45 THE WAY ME AND JACK HAD THE SAME REACTION LMAO 'Ashley Tisdale??"
Balathu: "We help each other"
**sheaths weapon then extends arm to Kurum with weapon still in hand**
Pretty much equivalent to a later episode’s:
“Don’t worry Salim, they’re not going to hurt you”
*the marines proceed to surround Salim with machine guns and Nick makes no attempt at all to explain that Salim isn’t hostile*
Jack *in reference to a BA in mythology*: is that a thing you can actually go study?
Yes, I’m going into archaeology with a focus on world mythologies.
Nice, I always mythology interesting, hope ur studies go well
So cool! Not sure if it's a silly question but what kind of skills would you say you need to get into archaelogy? Is it like a soft science? Or is there a side to it that's heavily science/evidence based too? Or maybe similar to learning history?
Ayy, I'm doing Classical Studies in uni next year. Good luck in your studies!!!
Jack: doesn’t want air support and doesn’t take white phosphorus
Me: jack will regret that later
One would think he wants that stuff knowing he is going to fight monsters but mayby im just not as big brain as Jack.... :D
I appreciate he’s still willing to try this one even if he didn’t enjoy the others
44:21 btw if anyone didn’t know this, the reason he has saddam on his playing cards is because soldiers are given playing cards known as “vehicle recognition cards” or “aircraft recognition cards” that were made with friendly and unfriendly vehicles on them, so when soldiers were playing cards in bunkers or trenches or wherever else, they would be subconsciously ingrained with what vehicles/aircraft to shoot at, and which ones were friendly. The ones he specifically had are Iraqi “most wanted” playing cards, that way when you play, you see their faces all the time, and would be more likely to spot them out in public or spot them among a group of people.
