When I got to the elephant part, I straight up told my partner that a happy ending wouldn't be them getting back together. It would be them going to jail.
The gameplay had done nothing but annoy us until that point and when we saw that scene me and my wife both became visibly upset at the story as well. The fact there wasn't at least a divorce by the end really soured the game for us
Same - the moment they were like "We need to make her cry!" my spouse and I went "Wtf is wrong with these idiots" The part with the elephant had us fully against them getting back together. The game lost us at that point and, honestly, it should've been about the parents still getting a divorce, but still being friends. It would've been much more interesting and would've done a better job showing that a day of activities and trauma bonding can't fix a fundamentally broken marriage

Love that the game is meant to be about Cody and May getting back together and reigniting the spark in their marriage but Jacob and Jaiden are just constantly going nah you actually really need to get divorced
@@suicune1324 literally lmao I think they went too hard on showing why they shouldn’t be together and how much they want to get divorced that I think they’re gonna try to divorce again in a year
@@tyler-df3wy i thought the same thing. Maybe this time they'll make it clear to their daughter that it's not her fault so she doesn't try to run away again
@@suicune1324 I've seen a few cc couples play this and it was a wonderful experience to them This is the first I've heard this game destroy couples. Really?! Damn
"We are not your therapists, you just tried to kill us." Lmao, my spouse and I had the same reaction. We just went "Why are you being nice to her??? She just tired to *kill* you two!"
I'm sorry but when me and my friend saw that, we laughed our asses off and then after that we were like:"hm, this is kinda sad I guess"(we did not take this game seriously at all, still had a lot of fun), but I do get why you would cry at this scene
the pain of killing the elephant is so real me and mom my play this together and the whole time past the elephant part we were just wincing and shouting no and why
So glad we got to see y'alls reaction to the elephant part cause its fucking morbid and bat shit insane that you just kinda continue on after that lmao
If I could ever ask the writers anything, it'd be: "why?" Like, seriously, why make the parents so awful? It's not even comically evil, they're just awful people, and show no regret for anything they're doing, or the lies they're telling. It's not even a case of "bad" or "lazy" writing, it's clearly all intentionally, methodically written to be terrible. And I just don't understand why? Is it some cheap jab at 80s B-rated movies? P.S: Notice how at 3:00:00, they do not even feel any form of remorse for literally basking in the tears of their daughter, they just feel sorry for themselves. I literally cannot comprehend how I did not find a single interview with the lead writer, who asked him: "Yeah, uhm, what the fuck?"
Honestly this game is one where it was a ton of fun but I hated the characters and the plot. They were awful people to each other and to their daughter, I was 1000% rooting for them to stay divorced by the end of the game.
@Almaster_00927 Cody and may, after a few years of being back as humans and reflecting on their adventure. They feel immense guilt every time they walk into rose's room and see cutie or moon baboon. Whenever they go into the garden and see a bee, wasp, squirrel or beetle, they remember "oh yeah. These things are basically people." They both desperately need therapy to cope with all the screwed up things they did on their journey, but refuse to get it because of wanting to appear strong for Rose and each other. One day, one of them, could be Cody or May, is cleaning rose's room, when they stumble upon those wooden and clay dolls. They begin to cry, tears falling on to the dolls. They wake up, back in their old doll bodies, met by Dr Hakim and possibly a new self-help book character. They must then embark on a new journey of making up for their past mistakes by helping people they've wronged in the past, and whatever else the two books tell them to do. Don't know how good this as a Concept is, just thought of it and figured I should write it. Hope you liked it!
You guys had the same reaction to killing the elephant like me and my friend when playing this. That moment was an aweful thing, but... see it from the bright side. it can only get better from here on out xD
I like how may, a regular person who randomly turned into a doll, could casually do 40 consecutive backflips while avoiding dozens of lasers and a ufo trying to ground pound her. This game continues to confuse and impress me.
You guys should totally play No Straight Roads. The bosses are incredibly unique, the story is actually really good, and also you over throw an entire musical company. Honestly, I think it’s a perfect game for you two and it’d be fun to see you guys play it. Fun stream as always!
As someone who’s knowledge of the game is solely from the first half of Jaiden and Jacob’s playthrough, my reaction to this comment was “Space Levels?”
AHHHH Im happy to finally see more. I wasn't sure this wasn't episode 1 again. The full VODs and cut down ones keep confusing my tiny monkey brain and I have to double take to make sure I didnt already watch. This part of the game is fun and I cant wait to see yall get through it. A lot of people hate the Elephant part, but it's so good, perfectly messed up. These parents got a waysssss to go.
Oh, how I wish to watch this right now. I was really excited for the divorce arc to continue but I couldn't watch live, and here cometh the vod and I can't watch it now either. I can't wait for when I can!!
I had this on in the background while at work and I had to switch off of it because of how much I was laughing at jadien jumping over the lazers Jesus chrIST
If this game ends with the two characters getting back together, the writers are seriously screwed up. These are not two people who should be allowed to speak to each other, much less be married and raise a kid.
YESSS ive been waiting for you guys to continue this finally. This game gets memed on a lot, but i love it a lot. When i saw your community post about the stream i was *immediately* eyeing the replays channel.
I remember doing the moon baboon fight with my brother, me as May, and it ended up getting around 7 and a half times harder than it did here. I swear i was dodging pixel perfectly every jump
1:13:53 lol my cousin and I did that! (I was Cody she was may) funny enough we did it right the first time, but I did something (can’t remember) that made me fall back down. And since we knew I could go smaller we were like “will it just send you higher if you shrink completely?” Uhhh yep! But it was sure a lot more than we anticipated!😂
2:05:18 You see, that's the thing about some parents who want to divorce. They always take needless hits at the other person when given the opportunity. It's always so uncalled for, but they do it anyways because of the bitter/negative feelings that have built up for the other person. They don't want to think about their own problems in the relationship, and use the other person's to justify them always doing this. It's annoying tbh how these couples that aren't really couples act. (For context: this is also how my parents are, so that's how I know about this) Off that topic, for the line "take a chill pill" the line in istelf isn't great, but the way he says it is good. Might've been funnier if they made his line something like "I'll freeze your asses!" (calling the enemy an ass)
The boat section really doesn't control like you'd expect, you can just pretend you are playing solo and go left right forward backwards and it'll put acceleration in that direction

vs moon baboon alpha is just "i did it yayy :D"

Jaiden panicking and stressing while Jacob is just taking his sweet time lol
Gotta make sure he gets it right, you know? It's a hard game. He's got to adapt.
Two besties play a game as a divorced couple and their audience is completely normal about it👍👍👍

another game added to the list of games that alpharad has softlocked in
I desperately need to see that list
If they make a sequel game they better bring back the elephant.
That elephant hurt so damn bad
@@swipeslogjack_tgaming9472 Maybe in the next game they'll have us kill an axelwotle or a baby seal next

after the elephant scene i went and hugged all my stuffed toys, that shit had me on the verge of tears
9:23 the friends pass doesn’t let you play the game on your end, it allows the ability to coop play with another that owns the full game.
The never ending story of parents trying their best to traumatise their kid.. x'D
I like how may, a regular person who randomly turned into a doll, could casually do 40 consecutive backflips while avoiding dozens of lasers and a ufo trying to ground pound her. This game continues to confuse and impress me.
Never been this early to a video, unfortunately I will not be finishing it as of this moment but I’ll be sure to return to this sacred treasure

11:55 I didn't get why we shouldn't google Jaiden so I did and now I'm scared
Oh you poor, sweet, summmer, child.
the space levels are so fun - but my husband got motion sickness from them though so I had to figure out how to do all the levels by myself. 😭
And now they’re divorced :(

9:24 game opens
A true savior ❤️
Thanks dude
Awsome
the elephant part gen made me cry... i i am very attached to stuffed animals
The funny thing about the Book and Cody arguing is I think it's the same VA if I remember correctly
“They better not be f🎉cken flowers” 😂
"The waterfall of balls is blocking out way!"
Bolas!?
I played this with my brother and the thing that really brought us together was roasting the ever loving f*ck out of the book lol
Oh, how I wish to watch this right now. I was really excited for the divorce arc to continue but I couldn't watch live, and here cometh the vod and I can't watch it now either. I can't wait for when I can!!
My cat doesn't have scheduled food but he does let me know when the big free feed bowl for all of the cats is empty.
I had this on in the background while at work and I had to switch off of it because of how much I was laughing at jadien jumping over the lazers Jesus chrIST
i almost cried when i was killing cutie (the elephant) but my dad LITERALLY said "meh"
Fun fact, the book is voiced by the same VA as Chris. So now enjoy the idea of Chris bickering with himself in a bad accent 😂
I’m glad that through this whole bonding session they learn to be worse parents
1:20 HE LOVES OMEGA STRIKERS

FINALLY MAN, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Man, I played this game 5 Times on either Switch or PC and I've never encountered a bug and you guys got it first try
2:52:00
There's a chessboard boss in Crown Trick. It's really cool and pretty hard too.
2:53:12 THE timestamp
I love how they went from "She's so cute!" to "WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE GUYS???"
I love how theyre questioning the logic in this game's universe as theyre fighting military trained squirrels
It’s like a Mario party game
16:38 literally charging chucks minigame
LMAOOO they better not be effing flowers
Please continue playing this if you can, its so such a fun game
god i love this duo, such cute friends
44:10 That backfired later in the playthrough lmao
Rose had the worse trauma
I remember doing the moon baboon fight with my brother, me as May, and it ended up getting around 7 and a half times harder than it did here. I swear i was dodging pixel perfectly every jump
1:27:37 “it’s threat alpha” is so real

would love to See you guys play some Minecraft Dungeons
That would be amazing
Watching this VOD at full volume to drown out the sounds of my parents getting divorced irl lmao
Divorce! Divorce! Divorce! Divorce gang rise up!!!
Maybe the real divorce was the friends we made along the way
I need the play aria rollercoaster to be real. I would pay good money for that

Was Rose just looking around as all her toys were slowly being destroyed by the parents as they went through the levels?
