Perfect Analysis

I dont know why the algorithm decided to show me this now but im so thankful for it

We dont even get into Jake? The human boy from the same societal class as Spike, but who Specter is able to reach with his powerful rhetoric (Peak Point) and sway to his side, who uses his societal power to aid the apes in their quest for social self actualization? Who then you, the alledged best friend of Jake, upon seeing the way he has defied the social restrictions and regulations applied to their class, immediately decry as evil and beat (in races) to submission and realignment with their social caste, a tragic tale of peer pressure and caste violence perpetuated to keep EVERYONE down?

Holy shit, that’s bleak

monkey is it, not they

wow

Finally, a good video essay

HOLLT SHIT, i spend two years trying to find this video again praise be

Funny monkey

Still among the best video game documentaries ever. Absolutely brilliant.

absolutely lost it when the gy!be track came on. phenomenal video

Have u seen the new 3D Platformer Bolt Bot Screwy Viruses?

On the few times I've played this game I've loved it. It legitimately feels like if spacehulk from 40K was a first-person horror game

i first saw this video a few years ago, before i started playing fighting games, and while i didn't quite know how, i could tell that it was staring directly into the souls of those who did play them. now, a month after picking up strive, ive come back. in this short month i feel like ive lived a lifetime, like ive grown a whole new soul for this video to stare into. i look forward to feeling more and more called out by these 7 minutes and 45 seconds of perfection. thank you

I just wanted to know if I could use motion controls with wiimote on duckstation, instead I got primate pilled

Someone needs to make a sequel of this game Where you play as the monkeys and recapture the land.

Wish I saw this 6 years ago. This is incredible. Now I'm wondering why there hasn't been an indie spiritual sequel with this kind of tongue-in-cheek philosophy and humour.

the nod to Nuclear Throne was heartwarming

Brilliant video, never looked at the story with this much scrutiny, but it totally adds up! Poor monkeys.

I come back to this masterpiece often.. Its hard to find youtube videos this good man.

why

At the beginning of the video, why did you show a picture of a Dreamcast when you were talking about PlayStation?

This video is less than eight minutes, but watching if feels like a lifetime. Thank you for a lifetime.

The writing for this video is gorgeous.

Awesome Video!

Just making my early visit to your channel, hoping that you'll have uploaded something new. Someday I'll be the one trying to explain why the day you stopped uploading was the saddest day on the internet, even if I didn't know why at the time. Hope you're doing well, whatever you're doing, wherever you are.

I always come back to this but for real this is a masterpiece and so perfectly describes why I play fighting games

Late to the party, but this was phenomenally good. An excellent breakdown and analysis of two of my favourite pieces of media.

Anyone remember the MGS3/Ape Escape crossover?

Can’t tell the ratio in this of shitpost to earnest analysis which makes this even better.

Well here I am, it's 2023 and I didn't think I would be so invested in this kind of take on Ape Escape. But I was! I don't think I'll be able to look at Ape Escape the same way again haha

This game seems incredibly fucked up. Jfc..

11:36 this edit is so good lol

"Your technology made for war destroys theirs made for liberation" christ, gave me goosebumps. Gg man, I always thought this game had something deeper to it and I'm glad to not be the only one who thought so

Nice usage of the DmC OST

masterpiece video. thank you for mentioning monkey football/monkey soccer at the end, it deserves the recognition.

What game is on first minutes of the video ?

Great job on the review! I believe I did originally see this recommended in relation to Space Hulk - Deathwing, which is similar in a number of ways.

Despite the video being a little older I still watched it a few times because they're just as valid with very much less explored concept of horror rather than depriving you of information instead throwing so much at you you simply can't process it all. At first isn't really too much of a problem when things are calm but I guess when you have 30 or more alien monsters running down the hallway at you and your helmets bombardement of information basically causes every alarm in your head to start screaming at you and cohesive thought and reason tends to get thrown out the window and replaced with a lot of screaming, panicking and gunfire sometimes in that order sometimes not but always in very large amounts. Just squeeze the trigger as hard as you can walk backwards and hope to God you don't run out of bullets before the aliens run out of bodies or that your back hits a wall Definitely getting this game with friends at some point, probably look back at it as a fun experience once the adrenaline and pure fear wears off XD P.s. loved this video and the monkey escape one you did definitely going to be watching more, you're definitely up there in terms of quality with Jacob Geller

jacob geller mentioned this on his swordstream the other day and it is wonderful. thank you for reframing a beloved piece of my childhood into a brutalist, yet befitting viewpoint that absolutely COULD NOT be have been an accident. beautiful stuff

Masterpiece

Watch because of thumbnail No regret

I laughed, I cried. Sometimes both at the same time. Very well done video. I've been reliving my childhood by replaying this game in my off time, and now I'll never unsee that I'm actually the true villain of the game.

i thought this was mostly a joke at first until i realized it's totally accurate

Glad to see people finally analyzing the rich lore of the Ape Escape series. While I don't think the other games ever did a take on class consciousness again, some of the spinoffs have some darker lore dealing with poaching, including tragic backstories and character death. The Professor remains a kind of closet villain throughout the entire series, and Katie/Natalie works behind the scenes to correct a lot of his mistakes resulting from his negligent genius, including ruining the lives of his coworkers and providing backdoor access to hackers allowing them to disrupt global infrastructure. The anime also retcons Specter's origin slightly to give him a friendship with Katie/Natalie. Also the fact that The Professor modeled his personal robot servant after a teenage girl is kind of sus.
