It may be a little janky but to be honest, I'm just about ready to support any single player game without microtransactions nowadays.
How sad and true
Kinda reminds me of vamypr.. clunky and yet kinda unique and brilliant
Vampyr was like a shitty vampire masquerade bloodlines
Vampyr was much better with mechanics and atmosphere for my taste. This one is more like Murdered Soul Suspect with slightly better graphics and open world. Underwhelming.
Yes when I started vampyr I was so disappointed buut I have played it 3 times as already
Way better than masquerade bloodlines.@@G3RM3X617
I feel like the investigative portion is enough to hook me. (Pffffhaha hook nice me, thanks me *high five*). I hate the “hand holding” that newer games has started doing.
The game kinda looks like a silent hill lovecraft game.
Is this available for PS4?
Yes
She reminds me of Nadine from The Stand
Sell my sideways bowls or sell my greek coins[thinks to self] i dont have any dude
Great episode! Well done.
Combat and weapons are limited.
were you legally restricted in how much gameplay you were allowed to show? Coz other reviews show a lot more gameplay as opposed to you guys just mainly talking about it with small clips of gameplay.
And that's a buy!
Amnesia vibes anyone?
Who thinks Ash & Jules should do a playthrough video?
u mean a porrrnthrough ?
man, im so excited about this game.
There should be a remaster or remake of dark corners of the earth that would be amazing that had an atmosphere that I've never really found in a game since.
Do not judge “lovecraft” based on your modern sensibilities. Back in the 1920’s segregation and the separation of races was a normal everyday event: the average person in the USA would not have viewed segregation as “evil” it was a part of normal society. I am frankly tired of hearing people talk
About racism and lovecraft: he was a product of his time and the game is about that era, stop bringing up racism as a factor to be considered. Games are not your social causes platform.
Sorry, but this game fell off my "must buy" list the moment they said they were going Epic Game Store exclusive. I might check it out next June, assuming you can drag me away from CP2077 & Bloodlines 2 😉.
?? PlayStation the 27 how do you mean
@@tommieveazey7224 on PC it is Epic Store exclusive until this time next year.
@@TheMarcHicks damn sorry bro.
I wasted all of my tummy gun ammo on a huge enemy at the medicine place.(I reanimated) it made it much harder.
Ash is basically Mozilla Firefox in woman shape
I've been hoping there would start to be a little more representation in more mainstream media for eldritch horror. It's been a few years, but its getting there in some games and movies. Hopefully a series can be developed for Sinking City.
Vampyr is way less clunky actually.. love this game .. but my main gripe is the massive screen tear when u turn left or right.. drives me nuts.. and that’s on a PS4 pro.. BUT.. I can live with it due to the other stuff that out weighs the graphics .. still fun.. just go into it knowing it’s not even on par with VAMPYR, Plague Tale.. etc “Plague Tale is a beautiful looking game by the way “🏆 so... quirky with a major splash of screen tear I hope they patch
Jump scares are the equivalent of a comedian running into the audience and tickling people.
Does anyone else really want to see a whatculture dnd style series?
Cant lie, that shirt is AWESOME Ash! Took a sec for me to realize what it was but then, bam, epiphany and I like it. As for the game, got jilted when it shifted to Epic store exclusive after being number 2 on my steam wishlist for so long. Looks interesting but I'll have to wait and see whenever it comes round if I remember it. It's one I wouldnt wanna roll on console so eh, we shall see. Great review though so I know what to look for when it comes round
Thank you!!! For pointing out not-so-nice thing about H. P. himself but you can still love it and that it’s a good game.
He’s absolute pish by the way, “not-so-nice” lmao what a dick
I will play any cthulu game
Oakmont is the name of a high school near my home town in Massachusetts 👍🏼
Is the main antagonist Tom Cruise?
SELL YOUR OBOL
Its inspired by hp lovecraft.
That is an amazing shirt ash! 👍
The reviews all say that the load times make it a miserable experience, but hopefully the gameplay makes up for it. I enjoyed LA Noire and Murdered Soul Suspect, the latter of which was also badly reviewed.
Whats this? slapping and punching a dead chicken? hold on, ill be right with ya...
*Dials number* hello, is this PeTA?
Are????? They???? Fuckin???
Lol
What's better this or Call of Cthulhu?
Both are good.
So is “The Sinking City” the same game as “Call Of Cthulhu” (that was released in Australia a few months ago)?
Not the same games. Based on the same idea though.
Am I the only one to hear Navi at 0:11?
His shirt says "SELL YOUR OBOL"
Jules is hot 🥵
Ash. Shirt. Love.
This game looks good but I don't think I'd buy it at launch
Nope
Bought this game and then got scared I spent too much money whilst it was downloading. It's clear now that the only thing to fear is fear itself
Ash is a cutieeeee :D
Ash, are you a Brummy by any chance? I’m one and sure I heard a faint twang....lol....
That's definitely a Brum accent.
I know a lass named Prudence that would feel at home in this game...
John Lennon sang of a girl named Prudence
They're talking about doing bloodline Mondays I would like them to play this game though
I'm LAST. NO ONE POST ANYMORE COMMENTS AFTER THIS. I'M THE OMEGA.😁👍
Screw you I'm posting
1st
FIRST!!!!! FINALLY!!!!
Bit gay how people are still commenting first on videos😂
@@vuoitttt Well, maybe because since I am still up at 1:15 am, I would like my late nights to have purpose? It's a psychological thing.
@@hezakiahmecham1449 if your late night "purpose" is commenting first on a video get yourself checked mate
@TheInternetBoss I live in the state of Oregon in the U.S.A......
@@vuoitttt Yeah I'm mentally unstable lol 😆
