Did Pat seriously choose to give Leviathan the information and then wonder "oh, why did Sarah Hawkins do it?" You realize were asked her location. Damn it boys.
@@TheRealSplitterguy Fuck that, glass him made no sense. I thought it meant give him a drink too. I've heard of bottling someone but what kind of an animal- oh
I'm fairly certain that they do not know that, considering how they are treating it. Also, AFAIK, there are similarities to bullseye, which is partially covered with mirrors to focus the light in a particular direction / arc (kind of like a flashlight / "torch"). But a bullseye isn't necessarily protected from the high winds and driving rains like a Tempest/Hurricane Lamp is. It can be, but it doesn't have to be.
you mean the corner they stared at and talked about for 5 minutes earlier on about how COOL that skull was because they knew the exact location and avoided it for content
I will just attribute Pat's recent crazy cube shenanigans to this LP. Clearly we see that the Old Gods love to influence the ones who are on the verge of crazy.
I really hate that trope. The villain/boss leaves henchmen behind to die. Come on Cat, your surviving henchman was only 3 steps behind you,; you could've just let him lock the door after you or you had plenty of time to let him through before the Shambler appeared. And why was Algernon just standing there during that scene?
@@ChuckPalomo I dunno, man. My reaction to them was literally "Oh, subterranean penguins. Neat." It's also possible that I've just consumed so much horror media at this point that if my cosmic horror isn't at least turned up to a solid Hastur level, it doesn't get me going anymore. What also didn't help was my imagination taking the route of "Penguins of unusual size? I don't think they exist". And so the Princess Bride ruined the whole scene for me out of hand.
The Shambler is her son from another dimention and she called it here because she hated her original son and got him killed in the fire. Now shes here to feed Agernon to her son.
@@ceast5273 It's the incarnation of all the sick and twisted desires and lust of every single sapient and non-sapient being to ever exist in all of history.
Having played a ton of Call of Cthulhu (the tabletop), I can confirm that enough bullets can kill just about any non-Elder God entity. I jump-kicked a mudman to death with a fighting dude I made once, and they're, by the tabletop canon anyway, stronger than shamblers
This game clearly should've been a beat em up, with Pierce going around punching shoggoths and flying polyps in the face... or whichever part of them resembles face the most
Some Lovecraft creatures are remarkably incompetent. Like in the Dunwhich Horror when the end of the world is averted because the main bad guy gets mauled to death by a dog when he tries to break into the university. It wasn't even a particularly big dog.
I really have no issue with them bumbling around and searching for something, but it is baffling and hilarious how they retrace their steps, but only skipping the right location!
I guess this explains why Pat was self-defeatingly pointing the camera downwards during The Search- they somehow convinced themselves that the bust would be on the floor.
"Remember that scene of Kylo Ren at the start of Force Unleashed?" No. No. I don't, actually. No one does, in fact. Do you remember Starkiller's big cameo in Return of the Jedi?
Best bet would literally have been to slash or stab the painting with a blade painted with the banishing spell. But no, that's to sensible for this party.
That's totally too hard for the PS4... nevermind that Yakuza's crazy-ass devs lipsync even non-cutscene voiced text boxes when they don't really have to.
Isnt The Shambler non existant to those who do not veiw the painting in person? Also the painting is in a gross old cultist cave turned bootlegger cavern and i doubt any of the other bootleggers are going to go down there and get it due to the smell of about 10 rotting corpses. We did watch it kill sanders and it was "not there" and seemed to ignore the player. Im not sure why im trying to find reason in a first person point and click game.
People getting frustrated? Yeah, I'm pretty sure a good number found the medallion much faster than you guys did. Seriously, what does it need, a flashing neon arrow that say "I'm here!"
So I was hearing voices in my head and I was like "man they put alot of detail into making you feel crazy." Then I paused the voice and the voices continued and I was like "am I crazy?" Then i realized that I'm using my wireless headphones and I live like 1 mile away from a radio tower and the voices I was hearing are infact the nighttime country radio station that turns into a rock station in the daytime (without the rap of course). And was super disappointed in the game and my own sanity...
Man, yeah, the gameplay here is not great. I was surprised this wasn't more of an open ended detective exploration game as advertised. Did they run out of time/money and have to cut what they actually wanted to do?
You guys do know that people especially kids have been knocked unconscious and have even died from being pushed to the ground, right? You're aware of the existence of head injuries right?!
Call me crazy, but I can't help but question why this game's subtitles and voice acting don't match up so often or why there's really basic spelling and grammar mistakes (i.e., using "to" instead of "too", using a lower cased i when saying "you bet i will"). I don't know why, but I can't help but feel like this is the sort of game where normally there would have been more care put into it.
Yeah it makes me wonder if the tactic they discovered in the Shambler's introduction of 'don't look at him and he doesn't see you' was an actual thing or just coincidence making them think it was a thing, because there's no mention of it in that sequence at all.
No dont do that. We need to release leviathan and not cthulu. We are releasing Leviathan because in one dream sequence Leviathan told us to free him because they ate his flesh. We did free Leviathan so his plan is fulfilled. That fucking prick of a whale squid.
That first glyph in the cave, though. Full display of the uncanny ability of LPers to look everywhere but the right direction and then blame it on the game. I mean, the necklace was that too but still.
I problaby sayd this before in another episode, but ill say it again: The only way were getting a GOOD Call of Cthullu game, is if its similar to the Divinity: Original Sin games (its literally a DnD computer game)... we need something like that for CoC, singleplayer games can be good, even great, but Call of Cthullu is alot better when ya have a group of friends/Allies helping you solve the investigation and delaying the eldritch horrors from taking over.
Oh so that's what they were talking about; well no wonder the JJabrams got fired if he was replacing good scenes with bad ones. I would like to know what scene got swapped out though, since not too many scenes in Last Jedi were as bad as the casino. Do you know what replaced that scene? If not what is your opinion on the Last Jedi? I personally liked it since it tried to be less derivate than The Force Awakens. I also especially liked how they developed Luke into a sassy hermit and allowed Mark Hamill to put a ton of character into the role before giving him a big send off scene.
Oh my god I will never not be sick of people bitching about The Last Jedi. I'm sure you'll see the Knights of Ren in some other fucking comic or book or side movie or direct sequel, just fucking stop. "A travesty of unmet expectations" fucking waahhh. Star Wars fans are worse than head lice.
@@Wolf_ManJack Jesus Christ get over yourself. It has been almost a year and people like you are still writing uninformed essays on how shitty TLJ was. Get over it. I've had films shit all over characters I like but I don't continue to bitch about it months and years after the fact.
I can't help but laugh at Leviathan's NPC arm acting protocols. "I'm a leviathan font of knowledge, a veritable library of truth and lore...and even I don't know what the fuck to do with my arms when conversing with people."
skip to 3:45 to see the bumble kings find the hay in the haystack Also later Pat: "Heres my problem, It was on an alter in an obvious place in the house!" Some say that the most obvious of places will prevent bumble detectives from actually finding it for days!
I really like when an entire Part of an LP can be basically condensed into two fucking minutes of progress and twenty eight minutes of pure fucking stupidity
Does Pat know about the Resident Evil Remake randomizer? I was skipping through a video of it last night and saw Barry's model swapped with a Chimera and a shark and a door went from the 'first zombie' hall to the mines and it was very silly. I think he'd like it.
Oh man, you reminded me of the Persona 4 randomizers that end up with character models sometimes replacing your character's weapons, so you might just spawn swinging Chie 's legs.
"That wasn't hidden! You FUCKING IDIOT" - Matt, after spending about 10+ minutes searching with a literal picture of the hiding spot all around the house like he's got 0/10000 Sanity.
Algernon: "I'll create the protective barrier... Get back inside it as soon as you sense the slightest danger." Sarah: "Are you crazy!? A dirt circle won't stop that monster! I'M RUNNING FOR MY LIFE!" Algernon: "NOOOOOO!!!"
The thing I hate about the glyph hunting is, that the game does not show you how they look at first. If you would know they are a glowing circle on the floor, it would be easier to know what you're looking for.
Yeah, like a dating simulator where Cthulhu is trying to romance humans but doesn't understand why all of them are screaming. I feel like Japan has already done this.
This game should be subtitled "women get things done and get murdered or snatched for their efforts whilst the men of the story inexplicably come back to life and survive everything no matter how much they stumble" looooool
I love how Matt and Pat are acting like this game was created by a AAA developer with millions of dollars at their back and not a small dev team. This game is by no means perfect, but it is in a much better state then most AAA games that came out in recent memory. Also, Matt, are you sure you have read Lovecraft? Because if you have, then most of this should be pretty obvious.
So close to the end! I had to go through this game a good couple of times for the damn platinum trophy. So watching Best Friends bumble through this is entertaining.
This entire goddamn game feels like a Call of Cthulhu tabletop campaign, but the GM forgot his script at home so he keeps having to do the whole thing from memory. As a result we end up watching a plot where only the most key points and various action sequences are strung together with only the barest implications of connecting storyline. Entire narrative sections and transitions are glossed over and barely implied, seemingly as an afterthought, and the farther we get the more disjointed everything becomes as plot devices and character arcs or even *introductions* are forgotten and hand-waved with as little reference as possible. But hey at least they're promising us a big squid boy at the end, right?
14:47 Algernon what you said there out of worry for her safety I'm sure is mute to her by now. She lost her husband and her son, and knows she can't escape hearing voices in her head and/or painting the culty things she had. So I think if she HAD her family survive, then she'd be more cautious about herself and doing all of that. But since she lost so much, she probably doesn't care if anything goes wrong because if it goes wrong in the final, she'll finally get some peace from the voices and visions. But I guess it's nice that Algernon trying to be worried maybe to keep Sarah grounded in the truth by it. But come on, she lost a lot cause of Cthulhu, I don't think she has anything else to be cautious about.
After filming this video Pat's mind finally broke and he succumbed to the madness by talking hella shit about Smash Bros, Bees, and turning into a cube and preaching the word of the Cube on twitter.
Hm, Cat called that guy "old friend" before the shambler iced his ass, and Sarah called Algernon "old friend" before the troubles. I wonder if that's part of the calling.
Am I allowed to not be impressed by the Leviathan's appearance or lack there of? Cause it's basically the unknown humanoid figure reused I'm pretty sure. But the voice I find impressive, but the creature itself wasn't matching the voice it has. Plus Edward did nothing when he saw the water flooding in XD So I can only think that meant that part and meeting the Leviathan was in his head and that he's nutty from all the crazy speech options XD
You really don't need any godly acursed calamari to drive these guys to insanity, huh? Tbh all you'd need to do is take them to one of those locked room puzzle houses and they'd be 100% instantly FUCKED.
So, all up between this video and the last one, it took them about 6 minutes to find the fucking statue. For comparison, Paige took 8 minutes to solve the infamous shadow puzzle. The lupus is clearly infecting Pat's brain.
