Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet | Forgotten Gems 

Jesus christ, it is as bad as Evangelion "Congratulation Shinji".

Eva's ending is a fuck you to the viewer for being an otaku asshole, total opposite of this game's.

which evangelion ending are you talking about? the "the end of evangelion"-movie-ending was okay, imho.

other than you saying "despite that not being the actual ending" i don´t know what you mean by "context". or who says "congratulation shinji" in what part of the franchise? there are more than two narratives of evangelion by now.

i know the backstory of episodes 25 and 26. it ended up being not satisfying at all.

Yup, exactly that. It starts so promising and then it basically becomes Duke Nukem: Cthulhu edition. Very sad.

I suspect that it was a Corp-meddling from Bethesda!

Still a very potent game on the harder difficulties with scarcer supplies 😉

I agree that after getting the gun the game loses quality, but the second half of the game is just so amazing that it doesn't matter how bad the combat gets. The adventure really goes to the dark corneres of the earth, far and deep, giving you a sense of powerlessness all the way. This game is 10/10 even considering the bad combat, lack of running in the game, and the impassable game-breaking bugs!

Magixxar I cant tell if youre trolling or not

TheBloodswordsman can you remind me who helped to kill curwen in dexter ward

NicolasCageCultist If I remember correctly, said eldritch abomination was never named in the story. Protag accidentally summons it, faints and wakes up with the entity having left latin instructions for him to follow.

ooh you mean that.. i thought it was just one of the wizards who curwen resurrected from salts and tortured for knowledge

"In Call of Cthulhu, R'lyeh has risen, Cthulhu is awake - 3000 years of madness and destruction is upon humanity and a dude in a ship says "HELL NO", rams Cthulhu in the face and Cthulhu promptly decides to chill his ass back to sleep." According to the sailor who returned, Cthulhu's form was already reconstituting before he leaves the area - attempts to verify his story went unfounded as they never found either Cthulhu nor the city of R'lyeh. The narrator (a guy combing through his uncle's collection of documents) speculates that Cthulhu still slumbers after that, but that's only a guess that he ventured: for all we know Cthulhu is wandering the earth - the fact that the sailor that returned died under mysterious circumstances suggests that Cthulhu's cult (or perhaps even Cthulhu himself) saw to his demise to shut him up so they can continue operating in secret. In short, he did *not* successfully challenge Cthulhu - he simply escaped to be destroyed at a later date. "In the Strange Case of Charles Dexter Ward, a cosmic entity straight up helps the protagonist stop the antagonist." And without that rival cosmic entity the protagonist would be completely f-cked - if anything, that tale suggests that challenging an eldritch horror without the help of another eldritch horror is suicide.

UUh what about Dunwich horror ? Three elderly human professors banish bastard hybrid son of Yog Sothoth. Sure they studied and read necronomicon but it still counts. Humans can fight eldritch beings when armed with knowledge and equipment, also most of mythos monsters are destrucible...barring outer gods

Greatest Adventurer and Parker kinda looks like Sam Neil. I guess this videogame has the most impressive and famous 'cast' of actors xD

I noticed the Vincent Price and Jack Nicholson ones.

I was about to comment this!

Lol yes...thanks for taking notes...

7:20 Jack Nicholson is basically a copy from this shot: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JRnvalwBhy8.html

Can't see the reply to this comment but I'm sure knowing RU-vid that it was a very well written and nuanced take ;)

Have to disagree. The antagonistic in MSG2 still took the time to explain what it was doing, which contradicts the entire point of The Old Ones. They are unknowable, an Old God explaining its intentions to a human would be like the antagonistic in MGS2 explaining its plans to a mosquito.

But it happened to be pretty bad, not even finished, they released and unfinished game and didn't even finish it after release or whatever.

Garrus Vakarian damn right!

3dh he already did a vid about this one ♡

Croz Raven I'm glad you noticed it too, I was just about to put it myself

+Croz Raven In early 90s you could get away with some very liberal 'sampling' from any entertainment medium

Based author. 😎😎😎

happy birthday! 🎉

Rodolfo Rodrigues can't wait for the remake, because the original was never translated in my native language

I'd love to watch him do this one, got it on steam for a discount, though it's confusing at first I love every bit of it.

CONGRATULATIONS

Spuzzwick YES PLEASE!

Haha! I love this comment

Holy shit, it does sound like him.

That was as bad as Mass Effect 3 in only possible endings . It is a huge middle finger to the player as the contast between the endings and the rest of the game is too stark for my tastes.

Ask him about the ending.

OMEDETOU!
