I had no idea he did Brothers too...that just makes me wish that John Bain was alive to see this triumph, godspeed TB
TB would have loved it takes two. I bet he would have played it either with his wife or with Jesse. Either way, it would have been amazing. RIP you beautiful cynic
the Gaming community still struggles with the loss of TB, his handle was TotalBiscuit but he was a total joy to watch and a voice of reason that had a strong head on his shoulders. alas he was taken from us too soon...
My boyfriend and I were going through a rough patch last summer. My bf suggested we play this game as it heavily relies on communication and teamwork.
In the end, we took some of the lessons, learned to communicate with each other better, and experienced a deeper empathy for each other. It Takes Two really solidified my relationship, never had a game experience like that. ❤️
This is a perfect game for those that are completely new to gaming. It's easy, has always something fun to do and time spent together is great!
The sheer number of tributes involved almost guarantees a moment of nostalgic familiarity regardless of your actual background with gaming as well. Just, overall, a really great example of something done well.
Do you want to play on ps5?
This is a phenomenal game, I'll never play a game quite like this one ever in my entire life.
NOT EASY hahaha, it requires good skill in many plataform sections
@@l30S3UX it's definitely much easier than other 3d platformers I have played. If you're having a difficulty then take a breath and work on your timing. You can do it 👍
It’s almost like Jirard knew this game would win game of the year.
Who knows maybe he voted for it an knew it was gonna win
This was an easy read
Split screen multiplayer would win game of the year. For the same reason an old school movie would win an Oscar
I'm shocked because it's by one of the most evil companies in gaming.
@@MrIcenice44 is this written out of spite?
*spoiler warning (kinda)*
The scene where you kill the elephant will stick with me forever. A classic ‘what feels illegal but isn’t’ thing. I was mortified.
Umm spoiler alert
@@shotoutgames8823 I agree that's a spoiler but that whole.section that's their plan from the start that's how the area is introduced you're told to do that BUT yes saying it makes people expect a scene like that instead of being super surprised like we were lol spoiling it Rob's them of that surprise.
This is a rare moment where I agree that, though mentioned in the video and featuring as a thing you know you have to do before you get to the place where it happens, a little more discretion would be good.
While I've seen the scene, through watching someone else play, I think that going in blind definitely increases the eventual impact and horror of the scenario. And perhaps self moderating this comment through an edit-maybe just a *spoilers below*-would help to not rob others of that impact.
On the actual subject of the scene in question, tho: yes, hard agree. It's possibly the grimmest moment in the entire game and something that is impossible for me to forget in the unique context of it's execution (pun definitely intended).
I mean it’s up there in the video and explained far before the fact in the game, but I’m a people pleaser at heart - enjoy the warning!
@@lorianorsi9170 I appreciate your willingness to take things on board and make adjustments for others. Thank you for your kindness!
"Chess. You know - from the "Queens Gambit""
That line got me.
Some people might say that’s a nice coincidence that Jirard completed this game since it just one GOTY. But others like myself know that Jirard knew all along that it would win and was just getting ready for the content to roll in
Or they just had videos pre-recorded for all the game nominees so that no matter which one won, they'd be able to upload a video.
@@Just_Shaun But he already posted Metroid Dread weeks ago.
I think that, what we're seeing here in the intro and the vo throughout the video, wasn't a cynical product of multiple takes and faux reactions to possible outcomes. It seems more likely that the most or all of the recorded narration happened after TGA, and was very competently edited and shipped. The game that was on the schedule for today was probably selected with the event in mind, and script ideas may have been considered before the event, but I don't think there exists an entire other version on the cutting room floor bemoaning that it didn't win things.
2:30
honest answer? when the industry acknowledged that gaming is for so many people a shelter from loneliness, and that a HUGE share of the market is... people who simply can't play in local co-op with other people, either due to time constraints or the lack of friends and family to play with in the first place.
i still appreciate the care and love and boldness it takes two showed, it was something that the industry needed, but lets not forget why we are where we are now.
Josef and his team creates such amazing stories, that honestly I don't think most mainstream movies can simply capture.
I believe he was a film director at some point. I might be mismremebering but he didn't like filming so he moved to gaming which lead to the "fuck the Oscar's moment"
Update lol. I wrote the comment before pressing play on the video so my confusion was answered
I was so excited to see that It Takes Two won GOTY this year
Whats crazy is me and my fiancé just completed this game a few days ago and we had a BLAST. The references were awesome and hilarious, plus the constant change of gameplay was refreshing! Definitely how co-op games should be made
finished it a few days ago with my wife. We had such a blast I hope this will spur more games in the genre.
Wow, I have completely forgotten about I Spy. I need to check my toy chest for 3 books, 5 jacks, and a yellow brick.
A deserved winner of Game Of The Year!!
Hubby and I played It Takes Two together and had such a great time. We laughed together, cried together, shouted at each other (in fun), and at the end gave each other a great big hug. I may never forgive May and Cody for the Elephant scene, but I'm glad the game won! Great review, Jirard!
This game was truly a master class in both story and game design: a love letter to video games.
I think my best multiplayer moment lately, was playing untitled goose game with my sister in the 2 player mode. We were acting like an old married couple on a trip. Great memory!
As a Lebanese, I feel proud of both of you!
Although I’m a little sad Metroid Dread didn’t take GotY, I’m not complaining It Takes Two took it. It’s a legitimately original game, and by the looks of it, a fun game. It deserves it.
I was hoping for either this game or Psychonauts 2. Honestly, both deserved it and I'm glad one of them got to take that trophy home
"You know Chess? From the Queen's Gambit?"
This one shot me dead out of nowhere 🤣🤣🤣
Dude your feelings about Josef's success with this game is perfectly understandable. It's always nice to see your race represented so I get you man. I feel that way anytime I meet a black person in IT where I work at. It makes me feel less alone.
Hey you'd be friends with my sister then. She's been in IT for about 5 years now. But dealing with it in different professions for about 15 lol. Ya know... when ya work and you're the one even the supervisors come to when... shits broken LOL.
This game winning GOTY was surprising
(Before watching) My guess is Jirard had this video planned for a while, but he decided to release it now after finding out It Takes Two won GOTY.
It's my game of the year, honestly. Fantastic, beautiful and constantly reinventing its gameplay to stay fresh all the way through.
I'm planning on asking my spouse to start playing it with me today. I saw someone else play up to, what I think, is the midway point. And it was fantastic enough for me to stop watching and commit to buying the game in anticipation for what I'm going to ask for today.
@@gogauze It's a fun time, though the game focuses so much on divorce that I would be too cowardly to ask my gf to play it. ^^;
The Elephant part was my favorite I couldn't stop panicking and laughing at the same time.
man the opening is so good
As a kid that had divorced parents, honestly they were happier and so was I when they separated. Not that some people can’t work it out but my folks couldn’t. I didn’t like this game at first because I thought it was advocating “couples can always resolve their differences because love!” But as I played on it drew me in more. I’m still kinda biased with my feelings on this but I can acknowledge that it was a fun and heartfelt experience that I will never forget
Honestly, the soundtrack is phenomenal in this game with "Hopscotch" being my favorite.
This genuinely looks like this game deserves to be the game of the year
It's clear that Josef Fares made this game with love and passion. Despite not playing it myself, I did watch the cutscenes and
from what I saw it's was very well done. Here's to a bright career for many years to come!
So happy to see this game win game of the year!
Better watch out or TakeTwo will file a lawsuit against you
Is "Filled with me pride" intentional?
To bad I’ve no friends that’s willing to play this game with me if it was a single player I would definitely play this game.
Pirate.
If you have two controllers, you could try beating it while playing as both of them.
I played this with my best friend, and it was one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had in a game. We won’t forget this game, ever.
i love that a co-op game that really understands and takes advantage of the unique aspects of co-op gaming is getting so much praise. like for example as much as i love Halo and playing Halo co-op, the co-op in Halo is really just adding in a second guy. it doesn't increase mechanics. really the warthog is about the only thing that is designed around multiple people. games like this, and Portal 2, or Overcooked are just excellent examples of games where you really need to communicate and work together to succeed. Portal 2 and Overcooked only did that mechanically, It Takes Two does it narratively as well. i admire games that gives co-op the respect it deserves and try to make an experience that only works with other people. i personally really value games that do that, and i am glad It Takes Two has done that and is getting widespread acclaim for it as well.
Yes 100 percent agree
My wife and I have wanted to play this so badly, but we'd have to get another controller. Lol
Do it! You guys need to play games together
See, I want to play this with the hubs... but he's a fps guy....he's not interested.
@@kikiohearts he cant play a single videogame for you? Thats super weird to me. Its such a little sacrifice for the sake of your well being
@@kikiohearts I usually play FPS games and I am LOVING the platforming and challenges in it
"Time Bandits" omg. Just when I thought I had forgotten that movie for good, you had to remind me. I've never been the same since watching that movie, it changed me.
completed this game together with my best friend and i loved every single second of it!
Goosebumps EVERYTIME I watch the opening. I just love it that much
*watches intro*
And now the "Fuck the Oscars" line makes a lot more sense.
1:18: I don't know if I'd call, "three wins, two of them format wins" (and relatively minor format wins at that, especially Family Game), "cleaning house." The Last of Us Part II's SEVEN wins last year? THAT was cleaning house. This year was definitely more what I'd call a "wealth spread year".
I could say so much about this game. But I wanna focus on the fact that even if there are new mechanics every chapter, it doesn’t feel like it’s too much. It’s not messy, it’s not unnecessary, it’s not rushed. It fits and is amazing. This is one of few games that manages to put in so much, but still feel amazing.
This qas unironixally my favorite game of this year so I'm happy that it won GOTY.
I've been putting this game off for a long time mostly because I haven't had any friends who wanted to play it with me. A couple of weeks ago though I played it with my girlfriend of 6 months and it has been one of the best bonding experiences we've had! She absolutely loved it and now she wants to play even more co-op games with me! Tack så hemskt mycket, Josef!
Jirard: Stopped playing with their partner
Frosk: Stopped playing with their partner
TBH: I didn't really care about that part.
Is the game itself a bit of a meta-narrative that it's okay that your partner isn't a gamer?
And I don't mean anything about the story, just the game itself.
As soon as I watched others play this, I was immediately convinced this was not the game for us to play together, even though that's kind of the idea of it. I know my partner isn't going to magically understand 3D platforming skills, that's insane.
10:30 "Hazelight said that they wanted to make a game that they had never seeeeeeeeeeen before."
good to see joseph and his team to get all the accolades they deserve especially since they have been at it for years and every game they have made including this one you can see the passion they have poured into them
It filled me with such joy, pride and hope to see two Lebanese talking about the game, and achieving so much. Our country is one of much sadness, so any glimmer of hope heals the soul greatly.
This game was such a blast the puzzles were a blast the constant change up of gameplay. I played with my wife and we had a blast. It made me laugh it made me tear up and it made me feel like I was a total a-hole
But was it a blast?
@@robbybevard8034 yeah I literally ruined a pair of pants via a blast. Don’t know how the definition could get much clearer.
I've seen several playthroughs of this game, and I found them delightful. I'm proud of both of you! Over the last few years my eyes have really been opened to the fact that representation really does matter!
Another phenomenal story driven game that's easy to complete is Spiritfarer. Great characters, simple gameplay, a moving soundtrack. It's easily one of my favorite games ever. P.S there will be tears
Plus they've continued to add characters/content on a regular basis with free updates.
I'm doubtful that you will see this Jirard. But as a Japanese/Mexican person of mixed-heritage. The desire to connect with people who look, sound or think like you is something I've longed for as well.
Glad to see you've found a diasporadic connection with your culture ~
Ska is life btw
You spent a hot minute talking about the ending, so I just want to remind everyone in this jaded cynical era that, yeah, sometimes things do turn out okay. I think people have forgotten that.
I really appreciate how you address your biases early on but you go on to do a very honest review of the game. Being objective like that is not always easy to do. Good work
It's not weird to feel proud to see someone like you succeed Jirard. It good to see people you relate to in the same medium.
Beautiful stuff man, I'm happy to see you so proud/excited about this all
Dude I understand !! Seeing someone that looks like you succeeding in a field that’s they barely even recognized
It makes you feel so seen
4:48 totally in sync… especially WiFi…
Really happy to see the ripple effect that “A Way Out” has spread to other games, hope that story based split screen games become their own genre
I miss some of his older intros but I have to admit his intros do get better and better this is my favorite so far
A friend and I completed It Takes Two together and it was a really good experience. Knowing it was made by Josef Fares and his team just made it feel extra special.
This is a fun game! Hahaha! I enjoyed playing with a friend. A good game to bond and chill
It's definitely a game of bonding it was awesome
i tweeted this would be goty back in like march. i am so glad this game is getting the recognition it deserves, including a completionist episode.
I still love the new intro.
I'd like a link to the remix please.
Wow. Happy 10th year anniversary. You accomplished so much in so little time, Jirard. Keep it up, & remember that we love your content
Jirard: It is hardly a kids game
Me: So how did it win Familu game of the year than ?
I guess it takes two's greatest strength is also its greatest weakness
Seems like an amazing gamr though I've never heard much discussion about it before this.
Great work as always with this one, Jirard. Me and my wife have actually been watching a Lets Play of this game, and I admit, it has tempted me to pick it up down the line, once I've got the spare cash, so we can have some relaxed fun together.
Played this with my wife and we were both floored by it. The praise it gets is well deserved.
I have to agree, if you ask anyone who played it takes two they have 0 complaints about this game. Everything was perfect about this game and Joseph deserves the praise for this game. Cannot wait to see what him and his team have in stored for us next
I just finished this game with my girlfriend and we both had the best gaming experiences of our lives, we loved how everything looked, we loved the story, we loved the characters. This was a fantastic game, As much as I want I don’t know how they would do a sequel, maybe a different couple who knows but I loved this game and I didn’t want it to end
Did any one else notice that the voice actor for Cody also voiced the book of love? Just more incredible talent from this game.
Logic reads: It takes putting money where your mouth is
My brain: It takes money your putting where mouth is
The story is really sweet. They learn to appreciate each other again, as people, rather than loving each other as an obligation to be parents.
Love the video! Thanks Jirard
The art direction of this game was so cute and whimsical.
My kids and I love this game. We played Brothers about a year ago and it was all good until the ending, which made them cry their eyes out.
I've said it before, I'll say it until I die. That's a hype intro. Excellent work.
What a coincidence, I just bought this game yesterday!
So glad to see a video on this, I'm not surprised Jirard had a blast with this game.
Man Jirard is such a cool guy, we love you buddy!
I played this with my kids.. despite knowing that there might be inappropriate adult themes in it. But yeah, i think jirard nailed that maybe they were never meant to get it or be bothered by it, just as "family" films also had dark undertones.
We had a blast though, and they did also playing with each other. I think it takes two feels like an ode to classic games and is perfect for the millenial generation that grew up with it.
To think one get to hear that a home county game would be that influencal. Josef Fares will certainly influence further.
His game brothers remind me of an Astrid Lindgreen story
"It Takes Two" a game I will never play because it requires another person lol
My favourite parts are probably the life music and the cuckoo clock but this game is full of really memorable mometns and just sheer fun. My mom is planning on trying games when she retires. Maybe I´ll play this with her.
I haven't played it takes two yet, but this helped convince me I should. Love your content! I'd like to see you do a review for death stranding!
Wait wait wait wait.... The couple's names are Cody and Mae?
....That's my parents' names.
I would have loved the game ending a bit like A way out with a duel between the couple resulting in the winner getting custody of the kid. xD
Honestly one of the best games I think I'll ever play. Everything is so memorable. What an experience!
This game deserves every award it gets. It's truly a masterpiece.
I am dying for more split screen games... I hope it takes two will have enough impact to bring us more !!
Gorgeous game, you know what's gorgeous, too? *Terranigma* for the SNES! Complete it!
This is a game I will never play. I have no one who would consider playing it with me. It could be the greatest piece of art ever created, and I will never know.
Pride. I'm glad to see it :)
you definitely deserve a treat, Jirard. there's no arguing that, i mean you completed Fallout 3 among a bunch of other games, that's a lot in of itself. in fact i'm sure that completing
Fallout: New Vegas will also be an undertaking, but one that can at least be made more fun with mods.
You definitely did this game justice Jirard! Josef Fares is a very inspiring and amazing person! He created one of my favourite games! Merry Christmas to you Jirard and Josef!!!😃👍☮️❤️
If I remember correctly, I discovered Cody's star launch completely by accident trying to figure things out. I broke.🤣🤣🤣
Such a great game me and my wife had a good time playing it actually made us closer
I think you meant to say "Filled me with pride" rather than "Filled with me pride".
Typo in the title. "Filled With Me Pride"
