To be honest I never expected there would be a fanbase of this game, I hope this game reaches everywhere, the beautiful soundtracks, weird ass story plotlines we don't know where and why characters don't really have full story behind and at the same time satisfying end of the game.

@malcovich_games 9 месяцев назад

The Nintendo Direct with Octopia was where I first heard of it. It also helped that there was a Game Trials week that followed that Direct, for the base game.

That's a good attempt at trying to explain the story. I really wanted to love the game but I ended up giving up at Solomon's funeral. If only they had figured out a coherent story, it would've been an all time great. At least I know I didn't miss out on too much.

@HandsomeMain 10 месяцев назад

Yeah it got super confusing once the monkey train happened. It was really good until then. I think it wrapped up nicely and still liked it overall, but definitely hope their next game is more coherent

I was juuust about to drop the game at that point too, but turns out that last part of the game is the best, I really enjoyed it, but the first half of the game didn't caught me tbh.

I don't think it will beyond the farming sim it did, i'd honestly rather the team do another game tbh

@matthewmckiernan5953 7 месяцев назад

Always found it weird how the game just breezed past John finding Sam, and how the Mayor knew about Charon and Miasma - yet we were led to believe neither existed right after. And then… they were real? The plotline is such a headache I can’t lie

@HandsomeMain 7 месяцев назад

Yeah I think a lot of key plot moments were in the devs heads but they forgot to put it in the game. A lot to love behind a whole lot more confusion

@simonblackwell3576 Месяц назад

The pacing of this game was pretty off, I’m pretty sure we the audience knew that Charon and miasma was real pretty soon after finding out the mayor was calling a normal train Charon in order to maintain political power

@MB-qx9vn 5 месяцев назад

I really really wanted to love this game. I’m a huge fan of the Mother series. The story just fell to pieces once you hit Monkhollywood. It started so strong, though. The artwork, music, and story is all there in the first half. Enjoyed that part, but it’s hard to recommend when the ending is so jumbled. The atmosphere is just decimated at times by sudden tone shifts. It badly needs polish in that department.

@HandsomeMain 5 месяцев назад

Ya I'm sure most of my like for the game comes from the aesthetic. Still looking forward to what the team does next tho, as long as they can take longer in the plot department

@ElisaKD 11 месяцев назад

I just finised it and felt like i didn't trully understand it so came here to watch hahaha still don't understand some things, and I feel like others are not given the importance it needs in the game in order to make it make sense. also the end feels lacking :( still I really liked it, especially all the pixel art, it's amazing. thanks for the vid!

@HandsomeMain 11 месяцев назад

Ya I really liked the game but once they leave new dam city it became pretty strange. Overall premise was cool tho so I hope they make another ip in the future (also wish we could've skipped the dam cooking animation after the tenth time)

@-r-3656 Месяц назад

That was the most coherent interpretation of the ending ever.

Great video! Never really understood Sam’s origins. Makes sense now. The new DC is coming out soon and I’m super looking my forward to it! I absolutely loved this game. Thinking about playing it again.

@HandsomeMain 11 месяцев назад

One of my favorite pixel games for sure. Not really a fan of the second half but definitely going to replay the game when I check out the dlc. Still kinda wish it was it's own thing

@DTA572 4 месяца назад

I played this game on and off over a year, and didnt think the story was that bad cause id forget bits each time i took a break. Putting it all together, oof the story really does go off the rails and loses direction. I still like it though, its a beautiful game. Its the characters and environments really sell it for me. Next game they make hopefully the story is a bit more structurally sound 😅

@HandsomeMain 4 месяца назад

Ya I haven't taken the time to really look into them but I can only assume after the first half of the game they went into rush mode.

@mobgas 4 месяца назад

@malcovich_games 11 месяцев назад

If the DLC / standalone title picks up from the ending of the main quest, then they go farming. I wonder what the continuation will do for the story, it can't be just farming right, there has to be world-ending stakes again. Any loose ends the main plot hasn't tied up? It seems they're all resolved (except for the origins of the suspicious new Sam/Mother clone...)

@HandsomeMain 11 месяцев назад

I've only seen it the one time, but it looked like a farming Sim taking place before the second half, which is why I wished it was just a separate game, but maybe I'm wrong

@malcovich_games 11 месяцев назад

@@HandsomeMain despite calling it “DLC” the Direct gave me the impression it was a standalone expansion but I could be wrong. Story wise, would be disappointed if Octopia turned out to be an “interquel” (though upon rewatching the trailer, John doesn’t look like in the ending so I am set up for disappointment). I’d rather it to be after the ending and I would like to see how John and “New Sam” get to know each other and stuff…

@Emi_Alvarez 9 месяцев назад

the official website discribes it has a paralel universe, where there is no miasma so Sam and John settle and make a life.

@malcovich_games 9 месяцев назад

@@Emi_Alvarez kinda disappointed it ain't a story expansion... but it is what it is. crack theory... Writers: we need more time to cook Devs/Artists: go on vacation Wrriters: I know, let's do a barely canon filler arc while we figure this shiz out Devs/Artists: back from vacation

@JesseDylanMusic 10 месяцев назад

Thanks. I really liked the art, music, writing, story… but damn the gameplay and combat became tedious quickly. I sadquit instead of ragequit. But this video helped me to detach 😭 I think the depressing ending might have made me even sadder than sad-quitting tho

@HandsomeMain 10 месяцев назад

I really liked the art and music. The biggest turnoffs for me were when you'd have to sit through the song animation every time you cook as john, and them showing that John was actually talking and they just didn't show the dialogue. Seemed like they could've made him actually mute or had him be a bigger character. Either way, looking forward to what the team does next

@JesseDylanMusic 10 месяцев назад

@@HandsomeMain Yeah! I know they were sort of rushed with this game, and almost didn't make it at all--I bet they learned a ton. I'm definitely looking forward to their next game.
