I'd like to think that the excessive movement tutorial is a kind of flipping the bird to all the crybabies from the first game 😂

Amazing video and analysis. Never heard of this title before but it reminded me a lot of "Lunacid", with the gameplay, themes and visuals

I will say in the remakes of resident evil its nice to hear jill and claire shout fuck a lot when they see a zombie Edit: also i am listening to this with headphones in the dark so the stomping sound scared the crap out of me!

Thank you so much

Really wish you would've touched on how problematic the first stalker's caricature is: the big, dumb, horny inbred brute akin to Lenny from Of Mice and Men is just so unbelievably ableist. Like the dick scratching/fondling animation? His arms raising before he charges you for the first time? It's like every negative stereotype of what 2000s people would refer to as a r*t*rd. This is just such a slap in the face to neurodivergence and people with mental disabilities. And his name is...Debilitus? Like debilitate? God....

"i am ashley graham's strongest soldier" *are you challenging me?*

Well, if you’re a big fan of the Japanese folklore feel of video games, then I imagine you’ve given Fatal Frame a go? You should if not! The English voice acting in it is something special though. It’s kind of hilarious.

European blames Americans for not liking a game that's reliant on talking to others about said game when gaming was super niche in the early 2000s and most households didn't have internet, thus making the game nigh unplayable. But sure, blame Americans (and not your snobby European ass despite Europe being the west just as much as the States are) for the game getting westernized despite countless other J horror games doing just fine. Crazy how it might just be that the first game wasn't set up well for the average American gamer at the time and not about culture or themes.

I never played this game (I don't do too well playing horrors) but I love watching videos about it anyway. I always liked Daniella the most and I always found it funny when sometimes she'll hunt you down, but you can also find her doing chores and she won't attack you, instead simply letting Fiona know that it's "Cleaning time".

Main character looks like she belongs in one of those fake mobile game ads haha

One detail I just recently remembered that I really like about Siren blood curse is just like in Siren where a Shibito-fied Reiko gives up her life to save Harumi, a shibito-fied Melissa gives up her life to save Bella

HELL YEAH THESE GHOSTS ARE HUNGRY FOR TRANS RIGHTS

I’ve been really enjoying your videos! I voiced Jennifer/Celeste in Remothered: Broken Porcelain, and as a MASSIVE fan of all things Clock Tower (Haunting Ground is my fave game of all time) I was super sad to see the reception to BP upon release, as we’d all worked super hard on it and it was my first video game protagonist voice role 😂 but I’ve really enjoyed seeing your perspective on it, binging your vids rn 🤣 keep up the great content!

40:01 its interesting you say that. as a teenager those themes flew over my head too. I just recently played SH3 again, and as a man in my mid 30s the sexual undertones are way more impactful , disturbing or even present where they are not?...There is this monster called The Slurper, he is prone to tackle Heather and make her fall...and well, the face of this monster is elongated, like a trunk with a mouth and teeth at the end. when Heather is on the floor, the monster still approach you an attacks you..and of course Heather wears a skirt...i think you know what I mean. That mosnter was not only the most annoying one but also the most salacious

I love the Shibito movie projectionist during the movie review section

Fatal Frame 2 review when

I think what drives me wild about this game is that, like you point out, even though it's obscured and abstracted by the metaphor, the _correct_ thing for you to do, the thing you _must_ do in order to avoid an automatic game over, fight the boss and finish the game...is give yourself an abortion. It's not like in SH1, where you _can_ go out of your way to save Kaufman, (who has aglaophotis and uses it against the final boss) but it's not required to finish the game. In 3, you don't need to do anything extra to access aglaophotis; Heather had some the whole time, and you cannot progress to the end until she uses it.

The article is so weird like it was written by someone who sees the psychosexual everywhere, even where it isn't. that sounds like a weird obsession, and a them problem.

Split personalities as villain archetypes is so annoying. I have DID and I promise it's not a serial killer disorder. It's childhood trauma manifesting in trying to protect yourself.

The Ashley section of this vid was so real, I've loved re4 since I was reallyyy young and even then when I had less patience- I've never thought Ashely annoying once, I was actually surprised the first time I looked up people's opinions on the game and finding out that 'thinking Ashley was annoying' was a common complaint! Shes always been a cute and fun companion character to me 😊

i hate that Sam sounds like sonic the hedgehog

It's the second time I watch this video, and I love watching it while I draw my horror comic

Letting Ashley die in RE4 is the biggest skill issue lol

Wasn't expecting you to start roasting her fit, she's got enough to deal with in the game 😂

16:40 me to every nier automata fan 😂😂😂

Hearing the controversy is just proving that media literacy started dying a lot sooner than the rest of us realized

Later this year we are getting Clocktower rewind by way forward that is supposed to have an original as well as enhanced mode. It might not be a new clocktower game but it is a first official release outside Japan

There’s a reason they chose Sadako instead of Samara for dead by daylight

I am very glad for videos like this one. I won't ever play this game: I can't handle it. I know I can't. I played the first Silent Hill, and I couldn't handle playing it a second time. Not even when I stuck to playing only during daylight. The horrors in THIS game are far too personal, far too real for me. But I deeply appreciate folks talking about it - about all the Silent Hill games. They're fascinating for me, but I just can't hack it to really play them. I have endured some bad, bad stuff in life, and between Silent Hill 2 and 3, all my worst memories and deepest fears are just right there on the screen. Despite having never played 2, I saw a man doing a Pyramid Head cosplay - an excellent costume, and he had got the gait JUST right, the posture, the way the head moves, all of it. (He also had a handler, disguised as a "slave girl," but I knew enough to understand she was guiding him through the convention, there was no way he could see much!) I didn't go near him. In fact I literally hid behind my brother, then made my brother stand between me and the cosplayer while I was hiding behind some display shelves. I was shaking like a leaf just seeing that much. So: thank you for making an excellent video that both digs into the reasons why the game's so damn scary, thank you for giving it this literary reading as it were. I don't have the nerves to play this, but learning about it from videos like yours, like eurothug's - makes it possible for me to still face the fear, makes it possible for me to articulate some of what I would never be able to withstand if I tried to experience the game directly.

you look like a man

My dreams are like the perspective highjack mechanic too! It`s really weird

I thought Rule of Rose was just unsuccessful in the UK, I had no idea it was banned here. That's absurd. I'm sure if the game had been a better play experience it could have overcome the chains around its neck over the last 20 years but alas, I guess this was a beautiful story doomed to be buried alive.

So in Siren 2, Kioya became Doomslayer. That's badass.

Ragnarok did a video on how rule of rose is a story of abuse on his monster of the week. Both yours and their video make a good compain pieces.

Good job

"Hughie isn't an escort" You're right, because you're the escort mission for Hughie 😅

Finally! I thought I was the only one comparing remothered to clocktower. New gens don't even know what clocktower is

Alisia also treats Heather like shit in this game. She wants Heather to be as hopeless as she is so they can just end it, she doesn't believe in Heather, and because they are the same person she happens to be the part of Heather that wants to commit suicide. even when Heather convinces Alisia they can make it out of this she still breathes Heather in that last journal entry. Also, I think at one point she rips control away from Heather to fuck with Cladiua.

this is my favorite Silent Hill game and Heather is forever my favorite video game protagonist This game is a masterpiece

How would people feel about Atlus doing a reprint? I might start a petition and see if I can get signatures.

She may not be pregnant but she still delivered in the end.

Tango, you have a voice I could legit listen to all day.

I played this game a long time ago as a kid, and always had it in my mind, but I never remembered its name!! thanks for posting this!

6:38 😭😭😭

I loved Clocktower 3 though I never got very far in it, Sledgehammer made me feel dread for the first time while playing a video game.

I think you did an awesome job and as a giant baby who hates both stealth and old school controls (lived through it once, that was enough), I don't know that I'll try to get this going. That said, I find it endlessly fascinating as material for people as smart and funny as you to go through, so thank you again!

This game,,,,was crazy, I don’t think games today would make something like this. It was beautiful horror. I would do pick a dog /cat over humans too Lmao but also for god sake it’s a good tale about abuse and trauma . It’s so good.
