Why Subnautica Is The Best Lovecraftian Horror Game Ever Made.
The very first time I played Subnautica, I did not beat the game.
But the reason I did not beat the game isn’t because I did not enjoy Subnautica - on the contrary, I love Subnauticas gameplay loop.
The reason I stopped my first playthrough is something completely different.
Something unusual.
Subnautica was so scary to play for me, that I just wasn’t able to continue playing.
Subnautica was just so tense and playing it so taxing that I couldn’t take it anymore.
Even stranger - the section that absolutely broke me wasn’t about facing a terrible enemy nor was it an escape sequence or a psychedelic horror bit.
It was something much more trivial.
It was simply exploring past a dark cliff.
I just wasn...

A Thorough Deconstruction Of Elden Ring’s Lore And Themes.
Просмотров 67 тыс.2 месяца назад
Elden Ring has been out for over two years, yet there are still countless Elden Ring retrospectives debating the meaning of Elden Ring’s lore and trying to figure out Elden Ring’s story and Elden Ring’s ending. As I see it Elden Ring is a huge metaphor, using taoist symbolism to ask whether we as society want to return to a god-driven dogmatic essentialist world or want to live with the existen...
How Nintendo Screwed Themselves By Releasing One Of The Greatest Games Ever Made.
Просмотров 155 тыс.4 месяца назад
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker is not only a colorful adventure that deals with surprisingly mature themes - it is also one of Nintendo’s biggest failures. Wind Waker is a game that was quite ahead of its time when it released. As a matter of fact I’d argue that The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker was so far ahead of its time that it ended up being a catastrophe for Nintendo. The game not only end...
After 9 Years Bloodborne’s Community Is Still Not Sure What Bloodborne Is Even About.
Просмотров 88 тыс.5 месяцев назад
At the very beginning of Bloodborne we find a note right next to us. “Seek paleblood to transcend the hunt.” This note here, is basically the only objective we are given throughout the game. Finding pale blood and transcending the hunt is pretty much Bloodborne's winning state. The only problem - I’ve beaten the game half a dozen times at this point, yet I still have absolutely no idea what see...
Super Mario Wonder, The Mario Movie and Why One Is Worse Because Of The Other.

Super Mario Wonder launched in a really interesting context. On the one hand 2D Super Mario has gotten stale. Yet while 2D Mario has fallen from grace over the past couple of years, the Super Mario franchise itself certainly has not. On the contrary.

After 5 Years Outer Wild’s Community Is Still Debating What The Game Is Even About.

Outer Wilds ending is a bit weird. The ending of Outer Wilds is a long sequence of surprising and on the surface random events strung together. There is obviously a lot going on during Outer Wilds ending, but it is difficult to put the finger onto the subtext. So when I sat down and started to write this Outer Wids retrospective I set myself a simple goal. I wanted to figure out an interpretati...

    I dont think the blood has anything to do with Christianity or the church. It’s far too myopic for souls games. It’s like saying saving private Ryan was about capitalism or something. Blood is the symbol of life’s spirit. And beasts have the key. The side of ourselves we’ve blocked off, and put underground. We thought we were evolving by locking it away when in actuality we need it to be a part of us. Hunters aren’t allowed not because it’s inherently bad…it’s because they couldn’t handle it. We’re hunting for the lost treasure to save us. The external thing to solve our problems. But really it’s not been about the hunt. It’s about the 3rd answer, the solution coming from ourselves when we tame old blood which is its own primordial spirit wanting to take over whatever it resides in (hence beasts). But naw man…it doesn’t have anything to do with faith. Bloodborne is the internal world and we’re defeating our OWN old god that we need to integrate into ourselves to rebirth something new. I still don’t understand why it’s called ‘pale’ blood but only thing I can think of is alchemy and red, black & white transformation

    Why are you so afraid to call this game bad? It's bad. It's not 10/10. The reviews are lying, very obviously paid reviews. The public was wrong for once. It's generic, it's a copy-pasted experience. It's BoTW remix. The story is the weakest part. It's not impressive. The Master sword and the beginning + end cutscenes are the best parts. Every other story sequence is a repeat or doesnt square up.

    You're wrong. Hollow Knight is a deeply flawed game that could easily be much more fun. It's tedious, boring, frustrating, and senseless. IDK who designed this game, but they made a really shitty one. It could've been so good. It's got so much potential. It really feels like a game that hates the player and enjoys trolling you as much as possible. Fuck that. Who could ever even call that a game? Cup Head is 1000x better than Hollow Knight. So disappointed. I understand why it's less than $10.

    I don't think we should interpret the events and meanings of Majora's Mask based on stories made for the IP after its release by different writers. It doesn't matter what Skyward Sword said, it didn't exist when Majora's Mask was being written. Same thing with the comics that were written after Majora's Mask came out. It doesn't matter if it's official, or canon, all that matters is what Yoshiaki Koizumi intended at the time while creating the game itself.

    I think the game also poses a really cool exploration of existencialism. we enter this world and we have to make some sense of it, by interacting with its story and people, and in the end we reach our own answer and personal porpuse to live. man, what a great game.

    Great video! For me, in my life and the game, Ranni ending all the way! With that said, i don't know if the part that remains of marika is the order one. We killed Radagon and the Elden Beast, that for me represents the order part, as marika represents the chaos one. So in the vanilla ending and its variation, i think the tarnished represents the concept of order and stability. anyway, love the content!

    Disagree on Bloodborne not being cosmic horror. It has a combination of both gothic and Lovecraftian. The Nursery is where the two clash the hardest. Yes there's the werewolves desecrating the place, but just after that is a scorched corpse standing in a pose you learn is used to attempt to make contact with the great ones, which in turn shows the consequences of trying to understand when you lack the means to do so. After all, one of the main mechanics of the game is that the more insight you have to the world, the more of what was better left hidden is seen. This is shown both mechanically, in that insite inversely effects your rationality and bestial nature, and visibly, in that , as I said, the more your character understands the world, the more actually becomes visible in game. Does it do the best job of capturing the sense of insignifigance? Only if you look for it. After all, two endings are essentially just you either forgetting everything, or becoming a part of the cycle. The third ending, well, who's to say what happens when you get to the point of seeing humans as vermin.

    I enjoy following voice actors work in games. I love good voice performances more than good visual acting performances. I didn't like Ada's voice acting in this game. I thought it was flat, and not on the same level of as the other performances in the game. You know what I did about that? I formulated my opinion, and shared it with my friends. You know what I didn't do about that? Send death threats to the voice actor. Some peoples children, man

    Iv played through Subnautica first and red "The Complete Weird-Fiction Works of H.P. Lovecraft" a while later. You are just blatantly wrong. And you didn't understand Lovecraft's fiction. Pathologic is a closer. And The first Darkest Dungeon game is just as close but in a different way. Darkwood kinda counts but its a bit closer to Junji Ito then Lovecraft. Those are the closest to his works I know off the to of my head. Well. Games that are longer then 20 minuets. Something like Iron lung captures one of his story's rather well. One important thing about Lovecraft's works is that the reader almost always understands the full situation long before the characters in the story. Outside of stuff like "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath". Where you would have had to literally be Lovecraft to predict anything more the a paragraph in the future. Regardless. This means that vary Little of his work is particularly suspenseful to the reader themselves. Of course There are still storys like that in his works. But usually those are short stories. And nether of he two most well know story's fall into that category. If I remember more ill come back and add it. BTW I do actually really like Subnutica. That is one of the reasons I cant agree with your title.

    I am so glad that you made a video about Subnautica, and just as angry that the RUclips algorithm buried it, even for someone like me who watches all your videos. However I think that for the first time you have gotten this completely wrong. I think there is a very important distinction between things we don't yet understand and things we are inherently incapable of understanding. Everything in Subnautica makes perfect sense, maybe even too much sense once you have all the lore. And there are tried and tested ways of dealing with that kind of lack of understanding. It's how NASA managed to get to the moon. it involves collecting recommendations from multiple experts, having multiple fail-safes and exhaustive checklists. And it's boring as hell and not the kind of thing that makes a fun game. I think of the galacticraft mod for Minecraft. I didn't go to space for the longest time because I knew I'd forget something without a checklist and making a checklist seemed like work, not fun. In the end I looked up someone else's checklist. The real problem that causes so many people to quit Subnautica when you did is decision paralysis. There is no way to tell what is more scary. This disease which after a while seems to stop progressing and the unknown depths of the ocean. And especially when we can build bases and live on this beautiful tropical paradise of a planet, there is just nothing to light a fire under our posterior to summon the courage (and checklists) necessary to do so. If you want a real Eldritch horror game imagine this game without the scanner and with a plot designed not to make sense. Or imagine Outer Wilds without the respawn mechanic.

    the Xenoblade Chronicles games solve the open world scaling problem pretty well too. Well, it's not a true 100% open world, you unlock massive open world areas in a specific order, but still. It places a large, near the level cap enemy as an obstacle in the way of your path in the very first major area, and then populates the world accurately with various leveled enemies in every location. You might run into a group of level 50 enemies guarding a secret when your level 20, meaning you either need to come back later or treat them as an obstacle. Then, you get the wonderful satisfaction of revenge on those enemies when you are finally high leveled enough to take them out. It works really well. Plus, it's become a meme that every Xenoblade game has a level 90 monkey ready to mess you up as soon as you take your first step

    But idunno, I dont even wanna sound mean, but all the games with "deeper themes" that get covered on this channel, or atleast their interpretations, seem almost allways to devolve into "yeah like its all meaningless but I guess lets people enjoy things or some abstract freedom idk" - in the end its all old hat and one can even psychoanalys this as being a reflection of the maker being from austria - feeling guilt about nazis, so the only prescriptive thing to belief is "be doubtful of anything and just basically support the milque-toast status qou" Like I remember him one time refering to God as a "her" and even if I think thats lame, atleast I would respect if he did some video about his belief in a true feminist god and how a game extols the views of matriarchal supremacy or something - but nah, even this raini is a literal plastic figurine, just the doll for the male desires of something below nihilism, even doubting it, not as a start for something new, but just to sink deeper into platitudes of "be responsible fo your destiy!" yeah lets go vote for the eu parlament or something cause thats the highest freedom😂 But nah sorry I just sometimes get into these delusional rants lol😂

Of course the binge began. But i almost stopped after hearing the Hunter Killer radio message. Exploring is one thing. Being STALKED is another.
