Deathloop - Splinter Loop 

That was the most Jon thing I've seen in a while! Classic.

Just Jon things.

Same reaction here. When he got the Shift Slab, I went "Please don't tell me you die later Jon." Not only did he die, he killed himself! xD

I perfer it when everyone is in on the meta and your left feeling like just a npc doin npc stiff

It does interestingly provide an answer to that long-running video game issue - why do random nobodies attack you when you're clearly much stronger than them? In this case, they know death doesn't matter, so they may as well.

Ok so this might technically be spoilers though not really since I learned this within the tutorial chunk, but nobody actually knows the loop is going on. To them it’s the day the loop starts. They know that the goal of this project is a time loop, and they know that there is a time loop that will happen after first day, but they don’t know that the loop has started since for pretty much everyone it’s still that first day to them. They don’t remember things between loops. That is something only the two main characters have the ability to do.

@@metronicmagician1816 some of them straight up yell "see you tomorrow" to their friends when they die. The thing they don't have is memory of previous loops. They know they are occuring though.

@@nicholaswmitchell that’s kind of what I was getting at. The whole point is they know they’re starting/in a loop, but they don’t remember it. They either come to that conclusion every day, or don’t ever come to that conclusion at all. For most this is just the first day of the loop. Only Colt and Julianna remember things from previous days, and the visionaries usually have some way around it (I believe the most common one is just deduction).

Which naturally begs the question: What's Updog?

@@osmium6832 Not much, what's up with you?

Where’s updog

@@alpha1beta1gamma Opposite of downdog

I was thinking that looked more like a shot shell than a rifle-y bullet. Thanks for clarifying that! :3

@@madmorgo6233 It could be. I don't have the inclination to pause every frame to find the exact cartridge details in a spent video game casing.

@@caseymorris4299 well, I'm sure I know what I saw, but I jumped back 8min in to be doubly sure. My knowledge of munitions is pretty minor and mostly second hand, but I think it's a single-loading shotgun (with that badass break action reload) "Rapier" is a funny name for a shotgun, you would think it to be a precision weapon... Idk, I'll have to play it for myself and find out XD

@@madmorgo6233 I checked and it's definitely a rifle cartridge being loaded in

@@annad5967 ah cheers! I've seen a couple single shot shotguns in games before (and I'm watching in terrible mobile quality 😅), so I couldn't be sure. Hope you have a good one!

And the Outer Wilds too. Granted when Deathloop was announced, it was just Outer Wilds (and it's original version came out like in 2013).

There really is not a lot shown in this video...i played 15 hours of this game and just now starting to see how I can maybe get all visionaries in one day :) not really spoilers here

It kind of does. Basically once you’ve killed Charlie once it will not allow you to use it again. I’m guessing there’s a way around that, but I haven’t done enough to answer that question.

haven't had a chance to play myself, but from what I've seen, only Julianna and Colt seem to actually remember prior loops. Everyone else thinks it's still the 'first day'. I'm guessing it has something to do with the residuum infusion.

@@jemal999 2-Bit specifically mentions that it remembers when Jon talks to it, says Charlie gave it a special memory thing (which it turns out is a piece of Charlie's own brain)

Jon has said and shown many times he knows next to nothing about guns and I doubt he'll ever learn just cause he doesn't care to, which is fine cause its not exactly necessary knowledge for a youtuber. Honestly it would be weird at this point if he did start identifying them correctly. If there's one thing you learn from watching MATN its that Jon.... Jon never changes. If you really want to see his incompetence with guns you should check out his Hotdog, Horseshoes, & Hand Grenades video he did a while back for American Independence Day.

He's in the UK. They don't have that gun loving attitude the good ol' US of A has. But you'd think he would learn a lot from all the games he's played. That's how I learned a lot about guns before I started owning real ones

@@Hoppelite if you've seen Jon try to build a bridge, car, rocket, city or anything else in that vain is it really *that* surprising that a lot of life's engineering is a mystery to him. In games all you need to know about guns is point, shoot, and reload everything else about the gun is just flavoring, flavoring that Jon has no interest in other than does it kill things faster. The dude just isn't built like that, he's into history and stories, not science and engineering. You've picked up a collection of guns showing an interest in them even if you didn't before so yeah you would have learned while playing the games. I can't even imagine Jon holding a gun comfortably in real life so no way would he retain the knowledge on if a gun is bolt action or break just because he plays some games with guns in them.

I didn't see any hexagons

I love Jon games that rely heavily on perception. He usually makes it through, but damn if it isn't funny watching him miss the most obvious stuff (that guy he jumped down on who was clearly having a conversation, talking about not know where the fireworks were when he was looking directly at them etc.)

bolt-less bolt action! Truly groundbreaking!

Lol I've got 40 hours in it and I'm not even half done. I'm one of those annoying people who likes to discover all the secrets in my first run, so I've spent way too much time poking around alleyways and trying to interact with random objects, only to discover that there's actually nothing there. For instance, I put about 35 hours into "Death of the Outsider." I tend to only do one complete playthrough per game, though, so I figure, my playstyle is still marginally more efficient than playing multiple times...maybe?

Made me laugh so hard

Sounds like you’re really missing the concept though. You don’t get to instantly retry like you would a quick save, and the whole point is you figure things out to take to the next loop. It’s more puzzle solving than it is about execution with the puzzle being unsolvable unless you go at from multiple loops.

I thought the same thing you did about the marketing but given it was getting good reviews from reviewers I like and my friend persuaded me to buy it I did and I'm having a great time with it.

Might want to play it on console though. Performance on PC seems to be a bit bad, and the system requirements are relatively high as well. (the minimum for this is the usually recommended setup for a lot of other games)

Someone could have told me that this game released in 2017 and i would’ve believed them. Reviewers should criticize the false claims that this game is “next-gen” yet runs like crap on current gen PC’s. The reviewers aren’t doing their job if they disregard performance and design

It was more that I recorded a video for about 3.5 hours... And then realised I was only just out of the tutorial. So I started over with this video, as it's the actual proper game.

@@ManyATrueNerd Makes sense, it is a weird concept for a game (even though the mechanics are familiar) and the game does have a rather lenghthy tutorial. I'm glad you've decided to do that, it is the better decision to show the game with all its mechanics in play, rather than the tutorialized stuff in the beginning.

His livestreams are the least of the problem with Oxhorn. The years of neoconservative "Christian" homophobic stuff, the manlyfesto, the creep shots of 15 year old girls, cyber bullying of said girls, dmca takedowns of channels that criticize him, and the fact that his entire video style is walking around just playing the game while staring at everything like "What could this piece of paper on the ground mean? Is it some deeper message about the fragility of the human experience? Could this piece of paper hold the secrets to the entire game? Oh, look. A soda can. But what does it MEAN? Is soda a metaphor for the sweetness of victory? Oh! A matchbook. What clues could this hold?" He doesn't research the lore, he just plays the game lazily reading stuff and acting like an expert. He even mistook one of his billion mods as canon, because can't do a lore video without tiddy mods and running a heavily modded game while doing lore makes ALL the sense. Jon did one live stream with him and I almost unsubbed. That's how strong my feelings are about that asshole, I've been here since New Vegas No Kill and one video with that guy seriously almost made me dip. I'm LGBT, his ass needed to be canceled years ago.

@@IAmAnEvilTaco marvelous reply, I seen that live stream, one of the fallout 76 raids right? The Brits seemed to be mocking him the whole time, like really, you're going to plug your videos on someone else's? I quite enjoyed all the humor that went over oxhorns head. Though your paragraph was quite big, I was very happy to see someone else shared my opinion of him. I was standing next to him once having a Convo, waiting on a bus or something. All he did was talk about food, like this guy epitomizes the deadly sin of gluttony. I am not LGBT but I am an A, I want you to feel as free as any other human being with out fear of persecution or anything like that. Large, small, silly, cute or flamboyant, just be yourself and be proud! Anytime you see someone like him, you(we) should call them out. For its the silent ascent that gives him the "right", so we can not remain silent

for what i've seen in reviews there's another NPC that hunts you down during the loops that also remembers and that another person playing could control Dark souls invade style

@@SirRoderickThunderbottom Yeah but apparently their AI is just awful so they end up being really easy to kill unless controlled by another player, hopefully that's something they can kind of patch up since the whole idea was hyped for so long.

@@mrcheesemunch i don't really get it myself. When you first play The PvP interrupts the flow of trying to figure out the map and how the loop works. But playing it afterwards hunting someone who already knows where to go is equally frustrating

@@SirRoderickThunderbottom Yeeah on paper it sounds kind of cool but I can't see it being that great in practice, being an FPS game makes it much worse since what happens if you're just kind of average and the invading player is some kind of pro FPS player? You just get shot in the head right away and that'll be it I can only imagine. Whereas even in Dark Souls no matter how good another player is you have _some_ sort of a chance to not die right away. And if you do you won't lose much progress. I can't imagine how annoying it would be to have almost beaten this game only for some random player to wipe you out and all those hours you spent clearing the game were wasted. I bet a lot of people opt to play offline after a while.

Fun fact, the first time AI Julianna spawned for me, she immediately got stuck on a railing and stopped moving.

You don't have to play it as stealth as Jon does in this video :)

"Time vision" "Time shield" the powers are bullshit

It's literally the Dishonored 2 studio :) they are very good at this kind of game

Technically, it's the very essence of YOLO, just that you see all the trial runs leading up to it. Your goal is the YOLO, your goal is the perfect run.

Nah the shift power shows you where you're about to land as well as where you're about to teleport. I didnt see the one for where he was about to land and wellllll we saw what happened there

it's not really "the point", just something that happens every few levels. it's a fun change of pace when it happens - in online mode, since the AI isn't the most challenging...

Basically whenever you’re in a level with a visionary (one of your targets) another player can jump into your game and hunt you if you’re in online mode, or if you’re in offline an AI can spawn in. It doesn’t happen every time, but it’s common enough that you have to plan for it. I also believe you only get one Julianna per loop, but I haven’t done enough loops with multiple visionary kills to really confirm that. That all said it is one hell of thing when it happens, and it happens a lot. Probably one of my favorite bits to the game next tot he actual puzzle solving stuff. It can completely halt your experience though so I’m kind of glad there’s an easy mode with the AI Julianna since some players can be brutal (especially when you can insta-kill someone if you get behind them).

@@VIIIaron Well it certainly featured on the promo's heavily.

@@Cryten0 she's an important part of the story (that Jon kinda skipped in this video), but gameplay-wise it's more just an additional feature. unless you play as her, obviously.

Damn bro I've never even heard of someone disliking Dishonored let alone *hating* it. So fun

Not sure if you are already aware of it but the game Quantum League is exactly what you are talking about. I've personally never played it so I don't know if it is any good but you might want to look into it.

@@questionedsanity785 That hit my thoughts almost exactly. A real shame the dev's have pulled support for it as of July. I can't believe how hard it is to maintain a game nowadays.

@@Cycl_ps Wow. It sucks to hear that. Its not really my kind of game as I tend to prefer single player stuff but I thought the idea was pretty cool. Yeah keeping stuff with online components going is definately difficult.

did you play the game yourself?

@@Atropos148 no i watched someone else, and the tutorial is really several hours long...

A) They're in his way, and shooting at him, most immanently. Also: B) They're all some sort of psychopaths, from what the trailer showed who are; C) Abusing timeloops as a form of consequenceless immortality, which; D) The player is trying to escape by eliminating the people running whatever cases the timeloop.

@@morganrobinson8042 Thanks! I'd only ever seen the reveal trailer, which looked way different than this. I get why Jon wanted to skip over the tutorial, but it also skipped all the context of why he was doing ant of this.

I wonder why

It deliberately incorporates elements of Dishonored. And Jon mentions similarities to Dishonored.

@@Safetytrousers lol it's made by the same developers.

@@Chalkcs I know it is, but they delibarately used elements of Dishonered gameplay. That goes well beyond simply being the same developers.
