I loving love that line from harry in the last shattered memories video

"I'm not even a ghost."

Just that mix of sadness and realization.

e: further extrapolation on the ending Liam got it's the ending the game gives you if it registers you don't actually give a poo poo about any of Kaufman's therapy sequences. In other words his speedrunning actually changed the plot.

There's nothing special about me.
Man, that is a game I almost don't want to play now because if I almost cried at someone else's let's play of it while they were talking over it, then that'll probably gently caress me right up if I'm experiencing it firsthand.

Also just noticed this episode that the 'flashlight' Liam is holding in that intro is ACTUALLY A VITA. Man, that was an amazing LP. Gonna have to agree with DumbparameciuM, that one's going on the rewatch pile.

Pat: "Man, you've gotten real good at the shooting in this game."

Matt: "I guess." :smith:

I kinda wish they'd buy the RPG, because giving you explosives is about the stupidest thing the game lets you do.

I love how this game is basically the negaverse version of deadly premonition. It's hosed up and broken but has a lot of heart. The difference being that DP is actually interesting and this game is like a shifty black label society music video.

Deadly Premonition also has more emotive voice actors and better music.

Ride to Hell is just like DP, except it's worse, has no charm, and they ways it is bad are much less interesting. Seriously, I don't see how this game has 'heart', all these characters are flat and the everything is so bare bones and nonsensical, I don't get the feeling anyone gave a poo poo when this was being made.

I love the idea presented in the previous episode that the devs thought they were making the most :sicknasty::woop::c00lbutt: game imaginable.

I disagree, I think this game is pretty charming in an innocently juvenile kinda way. I can't listen to this song without the opening riffs putting a smile on my face.

I will actually go out on a limb and say the soundtrack for this game actually isn't half bad at all.

Other bad games shouldn't be on the "best game ever" pedestal, like Deadly Premonition is. Deadly Premonition is not a bad game no matter how you slice it.

I agree, that doesn't make it good. There are a million other games with more fun combat and goofy weapons that does DPs gameplay better, you may know it as the MGS series.

Now see I feel like this is being disingenuous to DP because all of DPs characters are fun and loveable and maybe it's just because of more recent Telltale games, but the more I play them the more I see the same lovely characters.

I agree, but DP would've been unarguably great if it was an adventure game, even if an on-rails one like a Telltale game . Let me rephrase, DP should've been D4 when it came out.

I mean both have heart. It's just that Ride to Hell has heart in the wrong place and isn't a huge ripoff if twin peaks. Which means it is the worser game.

Yo so Lab 0 is making a metroidvania. Here's the announcement trailer.

The composer for Secret of Mana is doing the music for it and the story is based on Southeast Asian mythology. They're comparing it to Valkyrie Profile and Super Metroid.
