Thanks for watching the video! I hope it meant something to you!
CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED
Its soo weird that the most powerful experiences in games are the ones that take control away from you and get you to actually feel how a character is feeling. This video just made me hella excited for your eventual TLOU video to come out.
It depends what you mean by powerful. Joel's death in Tlou2 was very emotional and powerful for example however doom eternals most powerful moments are when you are in full control slaughtering demons. both are just as powerful one is just sad the other is exciting.
You never fail to bring me to tears, constantly giving me hope and inspiration with these beautiful videos, always leaving me with a new appreciation for something new. Thank you so much
Me too! I find his vids so heartwarmibg, insightful and inspirational
Hellblade Senua’s sacrifice is truly a bizarre adventure. The game is really good, but I wished the combat gameplay were better. The game is truly a masterpiece. A experience I could turn back so I can experience it again. It’s truly worth it to play!
Your channel is immaculate. This makes me if I want more movie analysis or video game analysis from you. Absolutely love Matt Reeves just like you and your Planet of the Apes videos are iconic.
Metal Gear Solid video would be top tier but would have to be several hours long. This is a challenge btw. Let’s see how ya do.
This channel is criminally underrated. These video essays are amongst the best ive seen
This is like the third video you’ve made that has made me cry!
I’m so glad that I have the time and ability to witness your talent and your STORY.
You are vastly underrated and deserve hundreds of millions of subscribers!!!
At the part where you talk about little nightmares, I remembered a game called "Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons". You play 2 brothers that want to find a cure for their father that is really sick. They always rely on each other to go any further. The youngest brother can't and he needs his older brother's help to cross some rivers. But in the end the young brother is left alone and has to rely on himself in order to cross the rivers. It's a great indie game with a very touching story and no dialog at all
It is actually a crime that such a high quality video has only 17 thousands views😢
I didn't grow up with video games. I'm 25. I can count on one had how many video game campaigns I've finished. I'm blown away by the stories some video games have told
what Dylan said in the end made me cry damn I love this video it really expresses more why we need to accept reality. No matter how cruel it is it's because we are human.
I am a 32 year old man holding back tears at my desk in the middle of room full of other adults right now. Beautiful.
This video deserves more views! 🌟 So much meaning & beautifully delivered 💗
Fantastic work! Your manner of writing and storytelling in all of your videos is incredibly well done. Been looking forward to your uploads since you started Planet of The Apes as your perspective often recontextualizes the media you discuss and helps me further appreciate it as well. Keep it up! You killed it with this video!
surprisingly made me kinda teary, good job.
what many games forget in my opinion is game play that fits the story.
Your channel has been one of my favorites for awhile now and all these games are among my favorites so this was a perfect combination! So well done, as always.
At last a new story street video
An amazing appetizer for what's to come
Really well done! I haven't played many of the great story focused games, but love just hearing about them. I love that interactive narratives like this exist and appreciate you opening the door to them. 👍
Your channel will blow up sometime soon my man and I'll be here to celebrate you on it. keep it up.
Your videos always hit in a way nothing else. The way you word it all, the emotion i can feel from it and the genuine feelings of inspiration i get from them. Genuinely one of the best out there. Also im so happy to see more appreciation for What Remains of Edith Finch, absolutely my favorite game of all time and its always so wonderful to see others enjoy it too.
bawling like a baby. thank-you for this video.
This was utterly gorgeous.
And now I have a whole list of games to play and experience myself. 🧡
Ive been having a really hard time these last few weeks. Most videos I watch feel like trying to distract myself, music reminds me of things im trying to forget and move on from. But your videos make me feel like... Like its gunna be ok. They arent these glaringly hopeful lessons and tales, but they ARE hopeful none the same. Your voice sits with me where I am and gently offers a hand for whenever im ready to take it. And thats all i need right now.
I love your videos so much. I can’t wait for more, the way you convey the emotion you feel is perfect 💞
This video in particular makes me really hope that one day you play Spirit Farer on Nintendo, if you haven’t already. The story is beautiful and I cried my eyes out hahaha ❤️
Damm, great video, congrats man :)
How did I ended up in this masterpiece of a video? Absolutely beautiful. Thank you!
Let me just say this is by far my favorite video you’ve done for this channel so far (aside from avatar). I love the appreciation for how much goes into interactive narrative storytelling. The beauty of it and how different it is compared to other forms of storytelling.
This is why I found you, why I’m subscribed, and why I keep coming back to your videos. The stories are what mean the most. Games always had me more intrigued by the world and the narrative than the mechanics. Like reading all the books in Morrowind so I can understand why my character is doing this quest. To understand the heroes journey. No quest markers, no railroading. Free open world.
Often, I watch a video of yours for a movie I haven’t seen because I value the perspective you bring. You provide that insight on games and movies alike. On what motivates characters, on what they have to learn from their tests. You are the interactive narrative. You show the journeys and perspectives overlooked or unheard.
Just bought Senua's sacrifice because of how well you conveyed the greatness of the story and game, honestly I've been looking for games that would give me the same feeling or satisfaction as the games You describe so I'm glad I'm able to experience one firsthand
Every single time i watch one of your videos i get philosophical on the topic and then think about other games and how it ties into a narrative. i found myself thinking this past hour about how a the lack of control makes multiplayer games feel nearly as meaningful its actual narrative side of the game.
i mean i literally started and have been writing a whole essay just about the last of us and its faction mode. and how other people with the same goals and urge to survive and win games can feel more meaningful than it is to play as Joel in the actual story. literally i love these videos and the mindset it puts me in. these videos make me genuinely think on things and brings out some creative takes on games i otherwise wouldn't think about that deeply.
seriously i want you to know and see this. your hopes are realized. these do mean something to people. and it means something to me.
A gorgeous video, well-written and passionate. Kudos
This was gorgeous.
Is this the best UA-cam video I've seen in months?!?!
Yes. Yes it is.
Amazing content, dude! Unfortunately had to pause the video at around 19 mins to avoid spoilers for Little Nightmares. Went straight onto Steam and purchased both games. Shadow of the Colossus is incredible btw. :D
Bro how do you have such varying views for ur such high quality videos??? I’m def binging this
I watched a playthrough of this in a stream and man understanding what the developers went through to make the gameplay as real as possible is amazing. The person I watched(MacdoesIt) at times will go through the history of a game either before or after even if its just on curiosity, it makes me enjoy the game even more.
Amazing video
this may be odd but my favorite part of Hellblade is the permadeath "mechanic", the entire game is based around the idea that you can't trust what you're being show, nothing is concrete and Senua's mental state means that basically everything around you has just as much a chance of being real as being entirely imagined, the premise of the game is build around the idea that it lies to you but when it tells you that if you die too many times your progress is reset you trust it but you have no reason to, just like so much other stuff in the game the danger was all imagined, you can die as many times as you want, it's entirely an imagined danger and it puts you further into the perspective of Senua because it means you can never entirely trust what the game tells you
An incredible video
The Witcher 3's true ending after playing the DLC's really made sob in total sadness.. The best sall break I've ever experienced.
I swear you deserve better than your current sub and view count
PLEASE DO AN EPISODE ON CYBERPUNK! I cannot understate how hard that game hit me
Amazing
Your amazing bro. I mean it.
Fantastic
in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice i dont even know if i shuld say thins ... u have to paly the game .... the youtuber dint devulge the Senua's secret which would be a spoiler. u have to play the game Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
please play soma, don't look anything up just play it, the best videogame story I've ever experienced
I'm a coward, how scary is it?
You ever play Among the Sleep?
It's got a great adult's message through a child's perspective. In fact, it's specifically ABOUT perspective.
I recommend a very good game called "Echo", look for it as "Echo vn", it talks a lot about what you talked about in the video. You will think that the typical visual novels but it is not like that, this "game" deserves more recognition.
Cheers
I thought Senua was phenomenal. I got to Hel with the blood pits and ran into a game breaking bug (losing all traction and sliding along invisible lines only to get stuck). Sadly I couldn't finish it but shit I'll watch your video about it
This vid just inspired me to write something so here it is.
No one starts in a place they desire. They move with motives hidden and veiled. Those thoughts, those ideas that are behind the curtain are the machinations that drive us. To death and ruin or to life and love. Love. Yes, that is what drives us! That is what is desired above all else. We do not comprehend such things when we start but comprehension be damned. The understanding of love is not what gives it its meaning. It is the feeling. The warmth. It’s like being sat beside a warm hearth knowing that your lifeblood is bound to the fate of it. Without it, you fall into the darkness and become a husk. Lifeless. Life. Yes, life. A fickle thing to those who know not the warmth of the hearth. For a life without love is not a life. No. It is an existence of detraction. Dissociation from all that is hallowed. All that is venerated to the highest degree.
Death isn't something you worry or feared it is something you have to accept.
I haven't watched it yet but I'm sure it will be great and I agree xD. Keep up the good work!!
Update I finished it and it was beautiful
It's difficult for non gamers to grasp though, but when they do.... my boss circa '99 was fascinated by OOT. Not a gamer but wanted to essentially watch it til the end. A girl I knew and TLOU, disdainful of games to the point of hate. That first level/Sarah and no soaps/TV for a week, avid gamer now.
Until I invent the holodeck this is it, I'll start next week. Gotta start Horizon....
The Last of Us 1 was the game that made me look at gaming different. It was the first story that pulled my heart strings.
It taught me that the ones around you are all you have in this world. Even though the world is scary, unfair and wanting to end you at every turn, all you have is each other. Never take that for granted.
Have you played NieR: Automata? I feel like you would love it
Is there a discord community for this channel?
