Spoilers . . . . Fuck off Bricky! Last warning . . . You mean the one where he has no shirt? Yeah, the real plot twist was how absolutely jacked Darling was, god damn
Ahti always makes me giddy. His sincere Finglish and other Finnishese habits just warm my heart, especially since they make no sense for the English-speaking, so it feels like his parts are secret communication for us Finns. We don't get noticed a lot, okay? Kinda starved for abroad acknowledgement.
I was an exchange student on Finland for 8 months, so I get most of his quirks. It's amazing. Almost as great as playing Kingdom Come Delivernace as a hungarian.
I prefer to think of the Service Weapon as Man's Revolver: it's simultaneously every single magical weapon in all of human myths and legends, it's humanity's ultimate weapon, an extension and coalescence of the collective human will.
I am so glad you mentioned that ahti casually responded to her inner monologue cuz no one else has before that i know of and i felt like i was going crazy lmao
I'll say, American Nightmare seems like Remedy's experiments in enemy variety hastily turned into a game, and I kind of vibe with that, especially having the premise also looking into "hey, what if I tried *this*" and ultimately failing. It actually sort of points out that the team is aware of its weakpoints and at least tries to do something.
@@lop90ful1 You know what, I agree, and that's exactly because I believe that's what they had to do. I'm saying this as someone who works in game dev. Varied enemies are something that takes a lot of time, work and budget. *Budget* being the operative word here since it governs the other two points. Sometimes, things have to be sacrificed in order to make other stuff shine.
*"Object of Power"* SCP foundation: "OI!" *"Parautilitarian"* Worm: "HEY!" *"Polaris"* Raava from Korra Season 2: "THIEF!" *"The Service Weapon"* Percy from Vox Machina: "Absolutely disgusting!" Also, Jesse plays like a Tenno from Warframe.
5:30 I think this type of architecture is often called "modernist" as well. I'm not very sure what the difference between brutalism and simply modernism is, but I actually like it in real life too. Old buildings with that style have an oddly "livable" feeling to them, with plants and benches and bridges and parks and little conveniences. It's also a very cyberpunk/90s anime aesthetic.
brutalism is marked by heavy use of naked concrete. In french this style is called Béton Brut or naked concrete.Which is where brut-alism gets its name.
It became a meme to hate on brutalist architecture, but honestly I love it. I spent a ton of my childhood in and out of old government buildings featuring this style. Typically when I ask those who dislike it to articulate why they can’t put it into words or just claim it’s ugly, which is subjective.
@@RecliningWhale Idk if anyone was like "brutalism is objectively bad" but it certainly can be extremely ugly. The Oldest House uses the style very well, there are many places that do not.
This game made me really appreciate Brutalist architecture. It can really be so beautiful when done well. The geometric shapes and symmetry, the clean look and feel to it. A Brutalist building done with care and love can look amazing. It's the Brutalist buildings that were just done cheap that feel like they have no soul and are just ugly and eyesores.
37:05 It's because you see her as a Sister Of Battle, Bricky. She's *almost* wearing armor, and her last name is Pope. The fact that your brain went there is not surprising in the least.
Looking back on this game (been a few years since I played it), I think the style is going to hold up for a very long time. Ten years from now, I think it'll still be very satisfying to play and not just for the nostalgia.
Watching this episode made me realize that this game has a lot of inspiration in the book Otherside Picnic, both because of Janitor but also because of the fact that he is going through something that cannot be described
This is one of my favorite games. FYI : the dev that worked on this game released RTX mod that makes visuals even better and fixes some issues and HDR.
Bricky can finally relish the power of being the one to throw things at enemies rather than it being the other way around. And god damn does it feel good throwing shit around in the game, you really feel the weight in it.
It might be too strong (or rather the guns a bit too weak), but the Telekinesis feels so good to use and made the combat for me. One of the highlights of the game for sure.
If this is really your first time in this game, I'm very jealous. Wish I have that feelings again. A goosebumps when you explore this huge and exciting world. I played this game in 2019, and it had no difficulty-level setting at all. It was a very smart decision by the developers. Now you can tune anything even “one shot enemy kill”.
At 8:11 I would like to congratulate you on realizing that the Janitor was reading your thoughts. Not everyone picks up on that. ALSO, I hope you make this into a full let's play, the game's amaxing. ❤ Thirdly, I would tell you that the channel "Gaming Academy" has done full deep dive videos on virtually every aspecy and character of this game. So after beating it, feel free to look them up if you have any lingering questions. FINALLY, I HAVE A CHALLENGE FOR YOU. "Discover the fate of Zachariah Trench." Whilw thw game DOES NOT TELL YOU, they give enough hints to discover this. His fate CAN BE FOUND ON GAME ! But again, not everyone discovers it. No SPOILERS. Just a interesting challenge I'm throwing your way if you care to. Good luck & enjoy the ride !!!!😊
I really want Bricky to see Stupendiums song about Control either at a later date or knowing it potentially spoils some things. Its such a good song about this game and feels really so on point
this was the first game I've ever played with ray tracing and even beside this, the game is so damn good. it looks awesome, the ideas are great and it all feels very connected and just plain good.
We don't know every single detail of Jese Fadens life But we know that she ran away from home, was locked into a mental hospital for at least a few years, stopped listening to Polaris, and then start listening again and fled, and got her way to the Oldest House. Did she flee and get locked into what is essentially a mental asylum because she experienced the paranormal, ever since then the "real world" bullied her and it was not until she entered the world of the paranormal that she felt home, because her and everything else was just accepted?
I love this game and the aesthetic and style to it. I only found out about it a year or 2 ago. Missed when it first came out, know I remember seeing trailer/ads for it on youtube at some point when it came out but never looked more into it. Watched a play-through and had to get it for myself after.
I really love jacob geller's video about haunted houses and why control's the old house is basically a haunted house makes everything happening make sense
That would be dead space (visceral games) and uncharted 2 (naughty dog) that made a really hard push for u.i. context being *on* or near the object in question.
I have played it, enjoyed it, but i see that i have not put enough though into it, as ai should. This is going to be a good refreshment for me. Probably The game you can describe as SCP. One boss, i fucking hated it. The plant?
Not even 10 minutes into the video and I've already made space to download and finally give this game a go Edit: there's a lot of things about this game that just remind of Bethesda's Wolfenstein
I did like control except for one gripe. It , at times seems like it plays like a souls game in that if you die you start from the 'bonfire' but it plays like a typical 3rd person action game....so why make you back track over and over again especially on the more difficult bosses? Why not JUST have a auto save system? IDK the only other complaint is I felt the ending was a bit anti climatic
Emily Pope looks like her ears should be pointier. Honestly, with the subject matter of this game, I wouldn't be surprised if she's a cross with something from another plane, elf maybe.
I found it so funny how Bricky mispronounced “Zachariah” twice, but nailed “Parautilitarian” first try
I mean one is a hard to pronounce name, the other is a pretty commonly used word just with "para" in front of it
@@Neil_Manta zachariah is not hard to pronounce. bricky's just a goober.

Bricky, every two seconds in any Remedy game-
She really gave it her best shot at the interview, went there for a janitor position and is now the new director
Given who Ahti is, everybody in the FBC is the janitors assistant
They say to dress for the job you want, not the job you have.
Dr. Darling is unironically my fav character in this game
Especially his scene near the end of the game (I won't spoil it)
Spoilers

Fuck off Bricky! Last warning

You mean the one where he has no shirt? Yeah, the real plot twist was how absolutely jacked Darling was, god damn
He was also in MEN IN TIGHTS
I mean, Dr. Darling is the best character in Control, full stop. No argument allowed.
He is also FREAKING RIPPED

Almost as great as playing Kingdom Come Delivernace as a hungarian.
The gun given to Alan by Tom Zane might not be “God’s Revolver”
*But the Service Weapon might be as close as you can get to that exact description*

44:23 the exact moment endorphin overload made Bricky return to monke and relive a feeling he hadn't in years: pure joy.
Bricky was overwhelmed with a feeling of pure, utter enjoyment and spite against Alan Wake 1.
Bricky's unhinged laughter at the end is amazing. He's going to love this game.
I am patiently waiting for him to acquire a certain...um Pierce...
By far my favorite obsessive detail remedy threw in was how the streaks of Ahti's mop on the floor have their own reflections
I am so glad you mentioned that ahti casually responded to her inner monologue cuz no one else has before that i know of and i felt like i was going crazy lmao

“It didn’t work she’s dead!”
*lady actually dies
Yes, Dr. Darling is Alan Wake….and they are connected universes. Bricky….I’M SUPER glad you’re playing this
It's not a room... It's an ocean
More like "It's not a room... It's a building."
Control is unironically once of the most well designed game's i've ever played. all the abilities feel unique and equally useful
Watching this episode made me realize that this game has a lot of inspiration in the book Otherside Picnic, both because of Janitor but also because of the fact that he is going through something that cannot be described
It brings a smile on my face seeing someone else being awed by this game for the first time as mutch as I was
TAKE!
CONTROL!
This is one of my favorite games. FYI : the dev that worked on this game released RTX mod that makes visuals even better and fixes some issues and HDR.
The raw joy that Control evokes is just *chef's kiss*. I love that you are loving this
You and Jesse Cox have done a great job showing how fun and interesting Control is!
Ok the shifting bathroom is top tier comedy. I could see that be a Warhammer 40k note as well.

this was the first game I've ever played with ray tracing and even beside this, the game is so damn good. it looks awesome, the ideas are great and it all feels very connected and just plain good.
"Emily Pope is hot" must be one of Bricky's least controversial takes
The labyrinth area is to this day the best area in gaming ive seen
so cool i just wished it was longer
"It didn't work! She's dead!" Says sarcastically
*woman disappeared
"Oh no!" Becomes actually concerned
Game should have ended with the White Guards of Finland breaking through a spacial rift and TAKING CONTROL Ram Ranch style😅
Man I hope we get him to play Quantum Break since it’s universe connected

bricked up gaming
Ok, now you have to play quantum break for the ultimate AW2 experience.
9:26 Bricky Describes acting
I mean...
There are towns called Dull and Boring.
Ordinary could exist.
Shawshank Redemption is a Steven King novel
I really love jacob geller's video about haunted houses and why control's the old house is basically a haunted house makes everything happening make sense
11:37 hey alen wake moment :D
Played control or the first time last month. Can't wait to watch your playthrough and hear your thoughts
13:19 no, it's Will Scarlet O'Hara. Haven't you watched Mel Brooks movies?
Gosh I was waiting for this. CONTROL MY BELOVED
Beyond the poster you settle for, there is a miracle illuminated.
That would be dead space (visceral games) and uncharted 2 (naughty dog) that made a really hard push for u.i. context being *on* or near the object in question.
Bricky’s brick was rock solid.
Just think about how many times in school you were told to have a "No. 2" Pencil to take a test, and it'll make sense.

Cant wait to take control.... of this mining vessel ROCK AND STONE BRICK!
2:54 “dewleth”

I’ve been looking forward to this for so long
So hyped for this playthrough, I love this game sooo much !

You *summoned* that shawshank reference brickster
This was awesome, please continue
TAKE...CONTROL!!!
Damn I gotta play this game again
My BRICK i love you for doing these games that i dint have time to finish
There's a reason people have called this the "best non-Star Wars Star Wars game." The TK mechanics are so freaking good.
Man, i've gotta finish this game
Huh, i forgot what Jesse's voice actress sounds like so i was surprised when i heard her again
one of the best games that nobody talks about
this might be the most confusing game ive ever played
One of the best games I ever played!
< Well done Brick/Square-ish shaped rock. The board/pyramid/34$%69 will be watching/keeping attention with great interest/entertainment >
Try activating Ray Tracing. it isn't as demanding as people think
It runs really well, better than most games. But it has caused me crashes, must be running out of VRAM.
Sam Lake is sometimes like a white kojima
Love this game! Big SCP vibes
Thank you for the video!
Coming back to boost them numbers bby! 🎉
not yet.
I liked for the banana phone.
is anyone going to point out to bricky that the gun is excaliber?
Haha! You are a worm through time!
get it? the launch code? because it launches? hahah.
I have played it, enjoyed it, but i see that i have not put enough though into it, as ai should. This is going to be a good refreshment for me. Probably The game you can describe as SCP.
