tip *without* spoilers: go _everywhere_ with the bucket. like, every ending we did on the first game but with the bucket this time, trust me on this one
@@masteredk2919 probably not on dougdoug's stream sounded like it was just a random name the creator even wanted to replace it but for some reason the developers got attached to the name so it stayed
19:20 I think the reason why the game has a "Jim" button (as opposed to any other name) is because of Jim Sterling's positive review of the game (the one that said "Stanley Parable strives, and then succeeds, to be every game ever created").
Nah, Davey said he found it a good everyman name. He even considered changing it because he was afraid it sounded too much like "Gym" but by that time the people at crows crows crows were too attached to Jim.
In addition to what Hi Hey said, I don't think this is the case because when the narrator read that review earlier he referred to them as James, so if the button was in respect for them they would've used the same name.
@@DOCTOR.DEADHEADhihey was right, watch the Dougdoug stream (Davey is his brother and was on the stream, he confirmed Jim was just a random name, and even though he wanted to change it, everyone else loved the name too much)
Perspective: angle/viewpoint Perception: what it feels like/looks like Reality: what is So changing perspective only lets you see the same thing from a different angle. Changing perception changes how what you see influences you (horror music vs happy music) Reality... can be whatever I want it to be.
Fun fact: the the first one, there’s the note about Chris in the broom closet. Later in the Ultra Deluxe, there’s another about Chris’s remains in the warehouse. So the real mystery of TSP is: What happened to Chris? Who did this to him and WHY?!
The rest of the note about the warehouse is talking about the rickety wood bridge you walk across to get a collectible, so I think it's implying Chris fell. But I love the continuation of Chris being as much of a madlad as Stanley, glad they remembered Chris... even if they killed him 😔
Every single time, the witty banter is just great. Especially this time, mainly because it reminded me that I have to ask my girlfriend which of her 16 allergies she remembers just because I have also forgotten.
A have a friend who has allergies. He can't eat whole wheat bread and other whole grains, red fish... Peanuts... And others that I'm probably forgetting 😜
I have a medical bracelet with my condition (epilepsy), my allergies, and an emergency number. Simple and somewhat stylish, resembling a simple chain bracelet with a section of the chain replaced by a plate with the information on it. Won't rust and designed to be worn 24/7. If she's ever out on her own and has a problem, medical professionals will know who to call and what to avoid using to medicate her. Some people are allergic to tylenol, for example. Would definitely recommend you acquire one. It would double has having a list of allergies you can check anytime if either or both of you forget.
29:26 There* is actually an achievement for that. What you need to do is set all of the sliders in the settings to every possible position. Then, there you go! You have the achievement, and you can now go through the settings world champion door!
Nope, you just have to mess with every slider and put it to "every possible position." As long as you click on it and put it on the same setting, it will work. They do not have to be different or changed at all. You just have to click on all of them once.
@@missingknight7955 You do, I checked the achievements at the start which is how I found it, and I got it before even seeing any of the new content! You have to set every toggle at least once, the language setting to every language, and every slider (including sliders hidden behind other options) to every number on the scale.
Interestingly, the settings world champion room is identical to a room you can see in the 2018 trailer for the ultra deluxe edition. Or, at least I think it is, from the part before stanley falls into his office and it begins to fill with money.
Jim and Mirror Jim, just two dudes hanging out in Jim’s basement. Jim’s wife Harley works as an accountant while Jim does dad stuff and takes care of their son Chuck
Without spoiling anything, I can tell you with certainty that there are, indeed, six Stanlurines in the game. Yep, absolutely, definitely six Stanlurines. If you counted them from 1 to 6, each number you count would have a Stanlurine correlated to it. If your Reassurance Bucket could fit exactly six Stanlurines, you could fill it up completely.
When I roleplayed as Jim I made a whole life as Jim. I grew up in Savannah, Georgia spending my days being helpful to my single father as he tried to raise my brother Ted and I. We would do science experiments out in the yard, which motivated me to eventually get a degree in Biology. My brother Ted found someone to love, and a few years later they got married. It left me wondering what to do with my life since I was already working for a college in Florida as a professor and researcher. I decided to try to get into shape, so I got to the gym and after a few weeks I found a woman named Portica who I just went on a date with, and we have a few things in common. Needless to say, I felt so seen when I heard my name in this game I love. I almost got lost in Jim’s world altogether, and when I returned to myself, watching Matpat instead of doing something productive, I wished I was Jim.
Only MatPat would be the one person to inadvertently inform me that you can indefinitely postpone the Hole ending just by not changing the last option.
I think it's important to highlight that there are more endings without the bucket that have been added to the game, accesible even before the new content door. MatPat should revisit the games ending, go up and down the elevator behind the boss' office and try to jump out of the map in the cameras room
37:06 This is so funny! Ok let’s teleport out Did I press the wrong button? What’s happening? I can’t teleport? Oh it’s intentional The emotions Matt went though in such a short period of time
To get into the Settings World Champion Door you need the advancement. For the advancement you need to interact with every box and slider option in settings. You need EVERY tick on the slider you can't drag it back and forth because sometimes that skips ticks, you should use arrow keys.
The sign for the button changes into "Button that says Jim", the word "NAME" also changes into "JIM" and the one for the hole "(mostly) Infinite Hole - fine it ended" That's a fun detail
You CAN jump in the game. First: Go to the New Content/Stanley Parable 2 Showroom Step 2: stand in the Jump Circle (make sure you don’t use ANY jumps for best results) Step 3: reset the game through the menu like you normally would Step 4: you now have infinite jumps (until you return to the showroom or exit out of the game completely
Problem with this is that you *NEED* to have jumps and most people like Mat used up all of their jumps. You can't get anymore jumps unless you wipe your save clean.
@@somefield8091 maybe so, but it isn’t like that’d take very long. Plus you can break the game a lot (graphic bugs included) and even get a hidden easter egg by doing this
One of my favorite things about this game is actually seeing how different people play it. The differences in how people approach the game are fascinating. I was watching Secret Sleepover Society play some of the game before this, and comparing the two is both hilarious and interesting.
On my first play through the Jim part the narrator told me that “I, Jim was in a cult and ended up dying alone” so there must be different dialogue for that part.
every other youtuber who played this: oh settings world champion thats the achievement i should get it to open the door the guy who literally makes theories and finds hidden secrets in games for a living: oh its locked oh no... moving on LOL
@@hubdweller9969 Or, alternatively, his brain is just wired different from yours. I'd be genuinely impressed if you also singlehandedly solved the DLLC+ ARG in one sitting, or dedicated 3 videos to solving the Inscryption ARG that spans across games and codes and languages and even across physical locations. But sure, he must be stupid because he didn't immediately check and make sure there was an achievement called "Settings World Champion" just in case.
@@drawingdragon If you seriously just claimed that MatPat solved the DDLC+ ARG or the Inscryption ARG by himself, then please go outside and loosen your collar--clearly you aren't getting enough air. Presenting other people's information does not equate to intelligence.
@@hubdweller9969 I literally watched him solve the DLLC+ ARG in one sitting. I was there. It was a livestream. "Presenting other people's information is not intelligence." Whoops I guess all PhDs just became meaningless. Come to think of it, what even is school for, anyway?
I'll be honest, it was legitimately nerve racking waiting for Mat to hit the "Change your Reality" button because I thought that section was on a timer. I didn't realize it was based on your number of inputs
@@josephmeluso2377 The "change your self" seems to not be in a specific order like the others. Very rarely I see letsplayers get just an "ERROR" sign or a really cute cartoonish Stanley (not the Cas Van der Pol one) but most of the time it doesn't happen. I don't know if it's purely random or if it depends on what angle you're at when you change him?
One of the small touches that I love is that with the different ports, they change the wording a bit and instead of just saying a “re-release” they make fun a little of the port, like I have this on the switch and they make jabs at adding things “just for a Nintendo switch port” and its so fun how much effort you can see in this game and in the difference of the ports (plus they added an achievement tab in the games menu for the switch where the switch itself doesn’t have achievements built in)
34:57 Narrator: " And I've had enough of the hole for a lifetime" Matpat: "Well, another one. Here we go agaaaaiiinnn!" 36:25 Narrator had enough of 'hole' games 36:34 Matpat's curiosity is tingling
@@Sowono He’s a super LotR fan and any time someone bring it up he just HAS to tell everyone that Viggo actually broke his toe during that one scene, and that Legolas wasn’t even IN the Hobbt book and was only added to put some love drama into the Hobbit movies.
@@DragonSamurai182 Even though those are pretty well know bits of "trivia," and you've told Jim so a thousand times, he still tells _everyone_ and is insistent that they, like all of of his _LotR_ facts, are mindblowers.
@@scaper8 but he's never actually read the books, so when someone tries to talk about something that's exclusive to the books, he just talks over them, very loudly, about how many of the scenes with Gandalf and Frodo were done by playing with perspective and not any CGI lol
Heads up, the original release has 18 endings. Ultra Deluxe totals out to 42 endings I believe. You've got a lot of hunting to do, half are original endings altered by the bucket, so I think its worth going through all the first endings and then doing them but with the bucket :)
@@hubdweller9969 omg it’s hub dweller! I know you’re a long time fan of this channel! You’ve been watching about 6+ years now. Good to see you’re still here.
I know you probably will never see this, but you guys should try tunic. Lots of secrets, great gameplay, and I think an ARG all in one of the best games of the year
The bosses are really designed weird. Watched MANY people that kept complaining about their designs and the combat. The exploration was good, but the combat got on people's nerves.
Look. I thought that there would never be a new “best GT Live moment” without Steph but I’m wrong. I’m not saying Steph is replaceable but Mirror May is a perfect sidekick to MatPat! 32:15-47:33 was maybe the best 15 minutes in GT Live history! I love this game!
The “settings world champion” is an achievement that you can unlock for messing with every setting in the menu. When you do that, the door will open up
Theory: The Narrator is Stanley’s boss. think about it, he KNOWS the “Super Secret Code” to The Mind Facility. He’s constantly watching over Stanley AND he was the one who freed Stanley, made his coworkers disappear AND would know that there isn’t any way to shut down the self destruction sequence in the Countdown ending
@@AbdullahKhan-el6xw maybe so, but it’d still be fun to theorize about who exactly the narrator is. Besides, if matpat can make a fun theory about Sans being Ness, he can surely make this work too.
1:09:25 NO!!!! NO MAT!!! There isn't. How could you not remember how insane you went messing with every little button every possible way. You spent forever trying everything to no avail. Those buttons don't do anything. It's even been defitivly proven through inspection of the source code those buttons couldn't possibly do anything interesting. Stay away from those buttons please I beg you!!!!!
THIS! The moment he started talking about the buttons I was like 🤦🏼♂️ Matt… no… we’ve talked about this. You’d think he’d remember since it led to like the first swear on GTLive or something
So, will mIRROR mATT be following the traditions of the last play-through and be forced to keep the baby mini game alive, like the last tech assistance? There probably is a secret with the bucket. My deepest condolences.
@@humansoggycerealmarshmallow You play the Is This A Bucket? game. You can't play through the Zending or the game hopping one because of the sign. Whiiich means you can't play the baby game with the bucket. Unfortunately.
Not meaning to be _that guy,_ but... there's a difference between "Their," "There" and "They're." Not meaning to be offensive in any way, just making sure you know the difference between them. There's also a difference between "your" and "you're." I correct people a bit IRL, but not all the time. Also, sometimes people make some sentences that just feel wrong when they use the wrong word.
The most interesting thing about this is that the narrator doesn’t seem to realize that the stuff he’s making is going inti ultra deluxe, calling back to the narrator’s narrator in the escape ending
To get the ‘Settings World Record’ door to open, you need to drag all the sliders in settings to all the available numbers. The prize from opening the door is very much worth it… 😉😉
Hey matpat just so you know every ending (that i know of) changes when you bring the bucket with you Some are minor changes and some are major but I'd love to see your reaction to most if not all of them Edit: Also for a funny ending I recommend taking the bucket to place with the red and blue door Its one of my favorite new endings
I don’t know if you’ve seen this one, but I would also recommend in the first platform in the mind control facility climbing on the desk with the bucket and jumping off the edge!
@@hyphen-studios Yeah a friend showed me that :) That is also a cool ending definitely I also like the one where you jump out of the window with the bucket
I just wanna say how happy matpat has made me over the years he brings me joy and when im stressed or upset theres a handful of youtuber that help and you are a big one ive been here since the hookshot video an i hope i will be here for much longer
WHAT I didn't realize that the hole ending will let you cycle through all the options if you don't hit the next new button. This might be my new favorite episode of GTLive lol
1:27 YOU KNOW WHAT?! IT JUST DAWNED ON ME!! ONLY until I had become an adult had I NEVER come around to eating a granola bar, AND IT TASTES SO GOOD!!!! How is that even a THING for me?!! What, was I too naive as child to even BOTHER considering the possibility of TRYING one before I ever BECAME an adult?!! GEEZ!!!
There will never, in any story, any game, any movie, never will there ever be a more powerful connnection, a more fully realized and fruitful relationship, a companionship built up so perfectly, as the relationship between Stanley and Bucket.
Sodapoppin is the only person who actually watched the video in its entirety through all the let's plays I've seen (ik RTGame watched it but his video had a lot of cuts)
Apparently according to the creator, "Ultra Deluxe" was literally just going to be an overhyped console port and game engine change. Then the bucket became such an inside joke, he ended up writing an extra 20+ endings for the game. So if the alternative was "here is stanley parable on switch" as opposed to "you get 40 endings, but bucket gag", I'd definitely take the bucket
More Stanley infinite Stanley, infinite hole that was amazing absolutely love this it makes my day, thank you I begged you to jump down the hole every time thank you for filling my deep dark insatiable need to find out how annoying we can be to the narrator
"We are the only people insane enough to sit through this" I literally just came here Markiplier's video. You rightly turned in to mark in In Space With Markiplier. You're both the same in this way. 🤣
Day forty four of recommending games Mat might like: - Little Nightmares DLC Secrets of the Maw - Little Nightmares 2 (Yes, I KNOW he might not play this because he was disappointed with the demo. I’m putting it anyways. Please stop telling me to not) - What Remains of Edith Finch - Visage - Both Subnauticas - Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart (I think you’d really like this one even though it’s longer) (Yes I know he might not play Subnautica. Yes, I’m putting it anyways. Can’t hurt to take my chances)
15:00 Ah, yes. 15:15 New it looked familiar. 15:25 Mat. MatPat. The last one is Resident Evil Village. 22:40 I love Jim and Mirror Jim. 26:20 I'm happy with that. Glad narrator's making the right choices. 31:41 The nugget cave. 1:13:35 I want Mirror Mat, to see the apartment ending. And the escape ending. I think he'd like both of them. Maybe take bucket along this time!
the part in the tunnel where its backwards talking i only got a little but it was saying " moments wrapped in romance that end with bitter sunrises and goodbyes, moments so fragile and rare"
It would seem that if you don't pick up the bucket the game remains the same as before, creating the perfect way to include "both" games in one without "ruining" the first.
Fun fact, the QR code for the merch leads to the website and if you are livestreaming the website will have a new section showing your livestream and your twitch handle, which is really cool! It happened to Asmongold when he played it and went to the website.
@@mvivian100 Ah, gotcha. I figured they were with the text responses they were making like when they said "Got em lol", but the stream thing i thought it might have been a coded in checker. Though I guess that would be very difficult to do since it is through a QR code reader 😅
Just watching MatPat with the hole reminds me of the time he told us about using Ollie as a measuring stick and putting him in holes in their backyard 😂
When you realize that the narrator put the Jim button away because he was still traumatized from the skip button. He already lost Stanley once, he wasn't going to risk Stanley losing who he was because of another button the narrator made.
