Mr. President, a 53 min Somalian missle has hit the building. I didn't want to ruin the sappy ending by shilling my stuff, but be sure to join the discord and check out the perks of becoming a channel member. Thanks for watching, everyone.
@behind_you780 Hard to say. It takes a very specific type of person to enjoy it. The writing is top notch, but you gotta be down for 100 hours of trial and error.
hey, soma. you should play the sequal "library of ruina" its a lot better in a lot of ways, both in terms of pace, and how bulshit dificulty is removed. it also heavily expands on the world of Lobcorp.
@isaack5338 its mostly cause its pretty impossible to contain in single explanation, why is pmoon so beloved. Its akin to walking up to some guy painting funny figurine and being like "yo what's warhammer 40k" (save for hate on pricing). If i were to be asked, it boils down to two things. 1. The studio being genuine project of passion rather than money chasers, as based and up with community as one can be. And 2. Themes in their games. Sure, the universe and worldbuilding is complex and creative, sure, the love for classical literature and smart weave of plot with it is worth acknowledging, but the games also present topics that are either missing (or purposely avouded) in modern games, or represented through sappy, pretentious way. Deep, psychological burdens of characters are presented via slow burn, subtly seeping into seemingly normal conversations. And they're not overblown, thus they feel relatable, actually. They're not the focus of the character's story: they're burdens of the road of character growth. These games look at player and encourage to the opposite thing that modern games do: escapism. Without obnoxious "look we're up with modern audiences!!", but rather by talking about timeless, everpresent problems that people struggle with. And acknowledging there isnt magical cure to it.
@@JannetFenix i tried to read all of that but i couldn't really, i only play robotomy corporation which is the roblox counterpart of lobotomy corporation because im focusing on other steam games at the moment so, idk much about the game, i only watch youtube videos on it
@@isaack5338 I just wanted to explain it a little ^^ Take your time. These games aren't going anywhere, so if you want to pick them up ANYTIME in future, sure, go ahead.
Lcorp's difficulty ranges from "holy shit please kill me all my agents are dying even though im on day 19" to "only difficult on the last 4 days" depending on how much you can focus on micro-managing everything in the game And how many times you have used the games wiki to see each abnos gimmick, prefered work types etc etc to pick the likely easiest abno to deal with for you
Soma, this is insane. Monumental achievement. I can't believe how densely packed the video was with story, jokes, and an honest assessment of the demands of the game without reducing it into complaining or venting. I don't think a short review could ever help me understand what playing this game would really entail, and you pulled it off cleanly. Excellent work.
More Project Moon content is always good, cool video. As always, time to make a few corrections to get 300 Lunacy. 12:10 - L. Corp didn't exist when Elijah was alive. It was just a laboratory in the Outskirts 23:20 - Well, I mean, not always. Yang and Train are Tools and beings, while Red Shoes and 1.76 MhZ are non-tool and yet not actually "living". 31:14 - Again, it wasn't a Corporation at the time 31:23 - It's implied that he left A for some time before coming back to stop the Seed of Light plan, so his death happened much later in relation to Angela's creation 41:00 - The order of things is a bit different, creation of Sephira and activation of TT2 protocol came first, and then Benjamin got trapped in the cycle, unable to escape the time loop and getting killed and made into a Sephira again and again 50:15 - That's Light, not energy, as far as we know, all collected energy was used to extract EGOs, Abnormalities and for TT2 and TT3 protocols, as well as occasional payment for Rabbits. Good job, that's surprisingly accurate retelling of the story (and I mean that as a compliment, Lobotomy Corporations narrative is VERY convoluted compared to other PM games). Thanks for the video
@@duyanhbui5386 I wouldn't be so harsh, almost everyone gets something wrong in the lore of this game. Just as I said, convoluted narrative doesn't help as well as not the best translation (infinitely better than the first team, but still nothing like Limbus translation team). Some parts of the story are ambiguous or outright unexplainable. We still don't know who different A's are. ID's? Well, word "reflections" does suggest that, on the other hand I'm fairly certain Yi Sang wasn't even an adult at the time, as L corp creation happened 20 years before start of Limbus Company and the only "Mirror" was Mirror of Adjustment. Then what, were they extracted from A's mind? Why? How? Are they abnormalities by definition, then? It's hard, especially if you also need to review gameplay, music, artstyle, etc. Any promotion for PM is good, I'm excited to see what they are going to do with Limbililon dollars, considering the fact they were short on budget when finishing Library of Ruina
23:30 is wrong for a slightly different reason, every single Abnormality is a 'living' being, even the outwardly inanimate objects. Tool Abnormalities are just used as tools.
@@kingwatinga3371 Hmmm, I didn't know this particular bit of lore. Now that I'm thinking about it, in Ruina Heart of Aspiration does indeed demonstrate ability to change its environment to preffered one, as well as ability to create actual moving bodies to conduct its will. Thanks for helping to connect the dots
Almost an hour, dayum, this is a whole ass movie, thanks mr kojima! (orgulloso de estar presente en todo el proceso ves que si se pudo, y vamos a ver mas en el futuro B)
This game was an unforgettable experience for me. Unfortunately I became very fond of my nuggets and wouldn't allow any deaths until day 47/49. Favorite abno is Big Bird followed by White Knight. The story is phenomenal and hooked me into PM's amazing universe. To think I bought this game because I thought it was a visual novel lmao... Also I must say you have good music taste, I recognized a lot of the osts used here.
Tips for choosing abno’s one the first or second run, choose the most difficult brain-numbing ones possible so you get good gears for the next runs. Since you’re better equipped due to difficult abnormalities, you can progress more in your first run leading to faster progression overall, especially when you complete core suppressions for the qlipoth immunity, so you can just grind in later runs for agent stats.
Watched the whole thing. I was hooked about the lore that project moon has, it just resonates with me, makes me realized it's okay to feel despair, grief and guilt throughout our lives as living beings, even if our goals were bright as the seed of light, we also get to actknowledge that achieving goals is not as easy as it seems, we were forced to fight for everything that'll cost either our loved ones, ourselves or the entire human race itself. Having to make us choose wether our actions is for the well being of life or it'll be crumbled down for us to endure the blood on our own hands. I love the story, god damn-
Pretty good video and I will say that Angela is more like an estranged child than a lover which will make a lot more sense if you play Library of Ruina. I won’t say more due to spoilers, but have a good day
I'll always be down to listen to another person's agonizing playthrough of Lobotomy Corporation. Your choice of BGMs is on point, loving the very fitting SMT tracks for sure.
Truly an impressive video I wont watch it entirely since I havent finished Lobotomy corporation myself Im at the 13:45 mark..... anyways I am impressed by the words you said, thats the only way i can describe it they felt very coherent and detailed and also I can tell it is filled with effort and passion
tbh i got to day 40-something on run 1 without beating malk's dusk mission, i dont blame you man oh yeah and i also just used a notepad on malk's supression lmao] for hokmer though... i just paused to use send everyone to work. i made sure not to pause once until then, so one random mf i didnt care about died, and i managed to skip the midnight
I haven't played ruina yet. "Lover" is what I interpreted, based on the fact Ayin built her in the image of Carmen, who I assume he loved. I had a feeling he might've programmed her to love him.
@@SomaSpice I will be only using things that happen in Lobotomy Corp, so no need to worry about spoilers for Library of Ruina . I think the biggest problem with saying they were lovers, is that implies Ayin at some point wanted to have some type of relationship with Angela. That never happened , he hated her the moment he saw her alive, he saw her as a distortion of the Carmen and felt repugnant by it. After that, he only saw Angela as a tool. That is why he didn't care if the 1000x slower perception would literally condemned her to MILIONS of years in the cycles, that is why he didn't care if giving her emotions would make her suffer during all of that and that is why he forgot about her. I think one of the closest compressions you can make about their relationship, is that of Dr Frankenstein and the Frankenstein monster. Both create a life, both despised that life after creating them due to sheer disgust, both creations are left to fend for themselves in a world without any guidance from their creators and both of their creations cannot connect with the world around them due to choices from their creators.
I mean.....atlast some scp can "permanent" remove or kill.......but for "abnormality" in project moon game? "Nah" they do not die permanent they will turn into egg and come back alive later(for now tho dont know that story in future will involve around way to kill abnormality permanent or not) that why this is not just some kind of scp rip-off game but just take some inspiration from scp foundation
Please do some research before you accuse something of being a ripoff. The only similarity it has with scp foundation is the abnormalities and most of them are original. The story, setting, characters and etc… are all created by PM
@@WomanSlayer69420 plot reason.......i mean by sacrifice of Alot of nuggets that try to containment it and......is just to "bring it into company" dont even know how much sacrifice we need to made when still stuck in "loop of 50 day for like 5-10 year"
