    23:05 Thank you, for knowing at all. Robert Chambers was the name of the writer (its close enough to Browning). Technically it didn't get looped into the Cthulhu Mythos so much as... Robert Chambers predated H.P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft borrowed/took inspiration from Chambers, which is why some of Chambers' work ends up in the Mythos. And then Chambers borrowed/took inspiration from Ambrose Bierce, who predated him. Bierce was the pioneer of weird/cosmic horror in the west. So some of Bierce's stuff ends up in the Mythos as well, like the city of Carcosa (which both Chambers and Lovecraft later lifted, name and all).

    So, the names for the types of REPLIKA are german names of birds. At time of writing this, I don't know if there's any special significance to these, but I'll update this list when I see new ones in the video.
    Elster = Magpie
    Eule = Owl
    Star = Starling
    Storch = Stork
    Falke = Falcon
    Adler = Eagle
    Kolibri = Hummingbird

    Viewers checking the comments, this is for future reference: Franz Schubert's composition "Ständchen" (Serenade) can be heard playing ever so quietly in the background around 1:32:20 when they first enter the radio station (getting noticeably louder by 1:33:30 ) and continues until the squad leaves that room.

    Alex was referring specifically to Fire Emblem Awakening, where the characters don't have feet. It was not a stylistic choices, the devs weren't sure how detailed the character models could get on the 3DS hardware so they played it safe by just not giving any of the models feet. But, it turns out the 3DS could handle the models fine so starting with the next Fire Emblem game (Fates), they started giving all the models feet as well.

    • @EvilDrCatfish
      @EvilDrCatfish 3 місяці тому

      Actually, they did have feet! In both Awakenings and Fates for some reason the character models were too low so the feet were submerged into the ground in most scenes, but during attacks they were visible.

    • @thegreatbeardicus5072
      @thegreatbeardicus5072 3 місяці тому +2

      ​@@EvilDrCatfish They don't really clip through the ground, they do a little but nothing noteworthy is hidden from view. After you beat Awakenings you unlock a model viewer and can see for yourself that most of the models' legs are visible when they're standing still.
      The character models do have feet in the sense that the bottom of their legs flare out a bit and have the texture of a shoe, so technically yes, they have feet. I was talking more about why the feet are so small and silly looking and why they don't have any joints separating the feet and legs.

    Just so you know - the entire game is 3D. You just see it from a top down angle that fools people into thinking that it’s 2D pixel art. That’s how the lighting and everything looks so awesome. There also are first and third person mods that work incredibly well since all it needs to do is change the camera view

  • @Gorpinster
    @Gorpinster 2 місяці тому +1

    How I described this game was a bit of Silent Hill, Dead Space, Resident Evil, Prey, and System Shock all in wonderful harmony. I love it so much. I didn't even know it was a survival horror when I booted it up (not much of a horror gamer to begin with), so I was horrifyingly surprised.

  • @GendoRokabundi
    @GendoRokabundi 3 місяці тому +2

    Really like the puzzles in this. They do have a retro vibe, but also seem to leave clear hints nearby to make it less confusing than those older games. The only puzzle they didn’t solve in this play through I think they’ll get eventually. The gas, oxygen, carbon dioxide puzzle has ‘high/low’ lights on the left, which I’m guessing are a bit like the lock pick puzzle, helping you fine tune it like a price is right game.

      It wasn't just the camera, the flashlight and basically any 'attachment' to the body now doesn't use up inventory space. It makes sense to have it that way as well. I always hate when you have like a chest flashlight attachment on games and it uses up inventory.. it's attached to my chest.. why is it in my backpack/pockets?? As for using a phone, what's hilarious is how the guys keep taking pictures of notes even though the game gives you access to every single note you've ever seen right from the menu..
