Okay, so the tally so far goes like this: Jelly: 1 sacrifice Ben: 1 sacrifice Both live: 1... If you don't count the fact that Ben's character goes back to the castle for whatever reason.
14:25 an interesting way to tweak this would be for the differences to be traps in one room, and collectables in another. You'd have to figure out which one is the "real" version of the room via context clues (for example, looking out a window to see which clock is displaying the correct time, or figuring out a pattern of books on a shelf and not touching the ones that don't belong)
Two things I kinda liked about this: The fact that Ben was the only one with any say in the sacrifice, and how the game threw a precision reading puzzle at the duo with a dyslexic man.
In the knight puzzle, the button player can actually shine a light on some of the banners for the lever player (I believe by opening curtains but I don’t recall fully). It’s just so irrelevant that when I only discovered it on a second playthrough with swapped riles.
It's gonna be so crazy to see you cover We Were Here Forever. My sister and I got stuck on a puzzle in that game and haven't been able to finish it. So I'm excited to see how you guys do and what your opinions are lol.
oh man, just wait until you get to we were here forever. as soon as i saw your video on the first one, my friend and i delved into all four (five including friendship) games. four was by far our favorites, but DOUBLES the time of this game. hopefully you'll love it too, even if its so much more story based.
Oh man I've thoroughly enjoyed this series! You guys always get me laughing and it's a fun way to play along vicariously since I don't have friends that'll play puzzle games with me haha. Awesome video and, again, great commentary.
nonono, wait. lemme cook up the lore for you. from what i heard in the video, the king of that castle did an oopsie and doomed his country. i assume that the oopsy was related to seeking power and included the soul stone and the dagger. he probably made a deal with the jester character. he seems to be some evil being. so the king crafted the soul stone for the jester to complete the deal, bet the jester tricked him and became powerful like in the ending. the queen(ghost woman) was probably killed in that incident and tied to the castle. the king used the soul dagger to sacrifice himself and shatter the stone into pieces, and since the jester couldnt interact with it and because one of the pieces was lost during the shatter, he needed someone else to fix the stone. thats where we come in, being the fools who restore the stone with the jesters help and the dagger with the queens help. the jester becomes strong again and wreaks havoc, but the queen repaired the knife, so one of you dies to break the soul stone again and the other one walks out, sends a SOS signal and probably also dies. and thats when the next pair of ice climbers come in to continue the cycle. yeah, the game appears to be a loop as well. you would think that the queen and the joker would get tired of never ending repetitions of the samepuzzles, but the occasional speedrunner phasing through walls and breaking dorrs is enough to keep them from losing their minds. yeah, thats that. i have no idea if thats the actual lore, i just made it up after watching this video. no, i wont go see the actual lore, this is my canon now.
“To most people, seeing this book would be a little worrisome. Those are very long and complex words. But for Jell, this is bad. Because he’s dyslexic!” I feel bad that I laughed at this part because of how much it was emphasized. I feel bad for Jell in that moment.
I was so excited when I heard my track in the closing thoughts! I am really happy with how it turned out. Thanks Ben and as always, that was an amazing video! I will need to check out the We Were Here series.
Yo this game has Valves and Chimeras. Half-Life and Resistance reviews confirmed 👌 Jokes aside, great video Ben! Your reviews of coop games are always a treat. I've been marathoning a lot of your videos recently and your comedic timing has been really great. Keep up the good work lad ✌
Great video! I played this with a friend a bit ago (haven’t gone back to play the other role yet). The story was underwhelming for me too, though my partner didn’t tell me any of their cutscenes- so when the ghost suddenly appeared, it felt like I was just slapped with story. Quick note: you completed the maze at the start in 10 MINUTES?! It took me THREE HOURS, HUH?!?
I've only played forever with my friend and seeing these kind of puzzles makes me really appreciate how much simpler and fun the puzzles were in that game. Except the puppet and music puzzles
2:08 something about Ben talking, then screaming, then talking again like nothing happened is so funny. Ben just has such a calm voice, then the scream happens. also 8:00
YES I was actually really hoping you’d cover the third game! a friend and I tried out the first two after watching your play through, and now we can see the third!!!
Its nice being able to see another part of we were here and I hope the next video about it won't take a year its fun being able to hear other people opinions and reactions to this series, I'm slightly sad that there was nothing about the soundtrack of it or at least the main theme as this is my favorite from all the games. Regarding some stuff 19:16 Jell was able to move blinds behind armour stands that would shine light for the other person showing what colors there were, 22:24 the "fourth" game the friendship came after forever so forever is fourth and friendship is fifth. forever is story heavy and the friendship to not spoil anything is like a tech demo for future games. At the end my small advice when you play forever make sure to to really check how the characters looks and how the walkie talkie looks as they tell a little story that only people who played previous games might realise and remember how the other games ended. I would like to ask did you manage to do a secret puzzle in together that was at the start of the game as I did not saw anything regarding it in the video
The story of the series is confusing, primarily since it doesn't tell you outright. It starts in We Were Here Too, but it's told in hidden books in the poor lighting, so even if you find them, it can be hard to read and understand
I've been a huge fan of the We Were Here games since i found out about them a few years ago, so seeing you go through the entire series is amazing, i hope you and jellratt do the newest game 'We Were Here Expedition Friendship' i wanted to play it with my at the time partner but we never got to it. It's a fun game to watch though.
And, as is customary for this series of games, the two players disagree on who must die, both wanting it to be themselves. Unlike the other two, the players don't have to agree on it and one person makes the choice, so it's obvious who's going to die. This series, 3 for 3, has proven very depressing because of this.
22:24 Wait did these get switched (Ben says 4th being 12 and 5th being 3) From personal experience I'd say the 5th is longer but that's cause my friend and I took lots of breaks
YAY! I’m so glad you guys are playing the third game! I’ve been waiting FOREVER! Watching Grizzy and Pezzy play was funny, so I am glad to see y’all have fun too! …4th time: May you please consider playing Purple by Scopiophobia Studios…? If not, can you at least just confirm maybe a reason why or just tell me you cannot play it…?
I recently played this game with a friend, and the fuse puzzle was ABSOLUTELY the worst. I agree that it was poorly communicated! Took us forever too, and both of us love puzzle games! (We also accidentally solved the final puzzle the same way.)
The smug expression as Jell wails in despair was fabulous. "Yeah, I'm the one sacrificing myself. What you gonna do about it, bitch?" The banter between the two of you and the editing is perfect. I'd love to watch a separate video of these recordings in full. Does Jell have a vods channel/ will you upload it to the second channel?
Heyya! so sadly no especially for games like this we enjoy having a private session specifically for these sorts of games just because of the pressure, BUT! Once a blue moon ben and i will be live on my Twitch! Have a lovely day!
beeeeennnn please play siren!! it’s made by the creator of the first silent hill, it’s uncanny and spooky, and it has vague puzzles that has clues in the manual!!!
