Jon: "put the pitchfork down, it gives a bad first impression" Jon a couple minutes earlier: *points a gun at the first person because his vehicle is green*
The car was green, Jon had just cause to point a gun. If the driver didn't want a gun pointed at them, they shouldn't have driven that car. It's all fine.
That tiny red car is quite well made model of actual, real life Fiat 126. Those made in People's Republic of Poland were called Fiat 126p. And quite a few of them were exported to UK
I hope this make it to a live stream - lots of fun watching Jon missing big things: like the tower on top of the main building with his new sniper. Nice one ;)
I've played it quite a bit, and I really enjoyed it. Those with extensive knowledge of the Cold War and the fairly ridiculous nature of the Eastern Bloc states will get some extra enjoyment out of the easter eggs (with a fair amount of "ooh, it really was like that though"). You might want to go ahead and play it yourself.
6:00 Jon that is a real Polish Fiat126p, comonnly called "Little One" :) And it has engine in te back,and the cargo space under the hood (or bonnet). So he could have been smuggling something!
Jon, when you were searching for the guy you hired, did you check the tower on top of your office/jail? Also please do some more of this, I think it could make for a fun livestream.
I assume the people you only got partial points for turning away may have had something squirreled away that you missed because you didn't do a full sweep with the blacklight...
The three things that I spotted in the video that Jon missed: 13:17 - Wrong name on the cargo shipping list compared with the passport and ID. 17:30 - Expired date on passport. 34:31 - Contraband - for the briefest of seconds, you can see the prompt come up as he's searching in the boot at this timecode. I actually think Jon did pretty well, he didn't miss anything massive and obvious.
Jon… I think the pitchfork is for stabbing piles of stuff, like that gravel you were suspicious of but couldn’t unpack. Also the way those people take their passports out of their pockets makes me nervous. Every time they do it it looks like they’re pulling out a weapon.

I've played this game a good bit, and dropping prisoners off at the labor camp hits different for someone who actually knows the history behind communist labor camps.
Heh, that cure small car you liked, that looks like Fiat 126. We used to have a lot of them in Poland (126p variant)! Their nickname was "the toddler". They also have their cargo in the front!
John: "how dare you try to smuggle in 10 cartons of cigarettes! To the Gulag!" Also John: "oh, you're a trader? Would you like to buy things from the evidence locker?"
When I notice Jon missing something (Kumar/Kudar Imanaliev at 17:30) that he doesn't pick up on later I am reminded how glad we should all be that Jon is not in charge of anything remotely important in the real world. At least this time around Jon got partial credit for not letting him in.
If you were to continue this I'd suggest trying splitting what you find 50/50 between what you keep to sell and turn in. See if the turn in gets you promoted faster.
I'm perplexed... Why are you opening their door immediately? Their rolling down the window and giving the papers through it. And I'm sure you're not allowed as a border check officer
06:02 when were you born, 2017? That's their version of the Yugo, and they were quite popular in the UK among poor people, who would then do things like fit aftermarket spoilers on them too. The vehicles are really well done in this one for East European models with different names. 13:44 different name on the cargo list.
When you transport a load of gravel, you really should use the biggest vehicle possible to move the most gravel possible. The difference between a small load and an exorbitantly massive load is a very small price, only a small percentage of the initial cost of getting a vehicle to transport gravel in the first place. It's basically like this; You are already paying for a drivers wages - you are also already burning a lot of fuel to move the vehicle along with the gravel. The gravel itself is only one of many up front costs, but it is the only cost to significantly go up when you decide to deliver more. Better value for your dollar, essentially.
I mean those were some fine quality toilets neatly packed in the trunk of the car, I'd let him in regardless. How do you turn down a man with a mohawk, wearing a fashionable tracksuit I might add, and driving a kickass red car!?
My main takeaway from the game: why does everyone's passports expire in the same year? From a HR perspective, surely it would make more sense for the Acaristan Passport Office to spread out passport renewals over a decade, instead of overworking passport agents one year followed by no work the subsequent years. And bear in mind, this is pre-internet, pre-PC days. Aren't passport records still paper based?

I love that every driver is trying to roll down the window but Jon always open the door.
Border guard power move.
22:45 Dude is just rolling down the window to speak and Jon rips the door open
Yes, please continue!
You hired a sniper Jon. Look up!
The picture is of a tower after all
Jon's perception is -1
He just dropped his Glasses of +10 Perception, he still found the doors
That tiny red car is quite well made model of actual, real life Fiat 126. Those made in People's Republic of Poland were called Fiat 126p. And quite a few of them were exported to UK
The Maluch is a fabulous example of cars rightly beloved despite terribleness. Like the great Tiny Tony Kowalski.
Tony the nugget
@@JamieBFilms ITS TONY THE NUGGET THOUGH! THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT TOO!!!
*Immune to shoe*
Yugoslav Zastava made a few too, we call them "peglica" (little iron). Adorable cars.
Tom Hanks favourite
Love the way Jon's moral compass describes a sinewave all the way through this.
Sign me up for more of this. I'm actually fairly impressed with how much they fleshed this out behind the guises of 3D Papers Please.
I love how polite Jon is despite being a police officer in an authoritarian nation. That contrast makes it even funnier
That giant, glowing, yellow, floating exclamation mark that was constantly being ignored gave me an unreasonable amount of anxiety.
I hope this make it to a live stream - lots of fun watching Jon missing big things: like the tower on top of the main building with his new sniper. Nice one ;)
That's because Jon is about as perceptive as a wombat who's got his head stuck in mud! LOL I definitely agree on the live stream of this game.
Live stream ♥️
Ah, Jon and a game about passing perception checks. A match made in heaven.
I honestly expected a lot more mistakes.
@@TheAbstruseOne He missed the driver's seat in the first yellow car with other stuff in it
@@Ethrianor There's also five frames at 34:31 which shows an additional bit of contraband he missed.
I personally would be concerned at a border checkpoint if the agent suddenly said "ohhhh, I've been promoted"
The description Jon gave for this makes me love this game already. I already know Jon is going to make this very entertaining to watch.

Guy claims to have no cargo ... sells items to Jon
It's not cargo if it's on your person
/S
Jon: Literally slashes the tyres off a car to find contraband cigarettes
Also Jon: Buys cigarettes to sell and make a profit
@@Kaarl_Mills/T?
"It's not a crime to, you know, point a gun at him just for fun." Oh, Jon... *sigh*
Not even in America.
@@gostchiken He's law enforcement, I think he could get away with it in America, too.
@@Morphologie he's a custom officer
Jon, when you were searching for the guy you hired, did you check the tower on top of your office/jail?
Also please do some more of this, I think it could make for a fun livestream.
To be fair, even to Jon's -1 Perception, the game didn't exactly make it obvious where the guy would be when hired.
@@Foxtrot369 True although I'm sure Jon made the comment about the guy being in a tower or something.
@17:46 - Cargo correct, documents fine - but the entry permit was issued to "Kudar Imanaliev" and the guys passport said "Kumar"
I assume the people you only got partial points for turning away may have had something squirreled away that you missed because you didn't do a full sweep with the blacklight...

I wonder if that’s actually a feature in the game when it could sometimes not be their passports.
@@_ItJustWorks_ I hope so. Maybe that's how we find our elusive green vehicle.
The car models are so well made, I'm actually impressed. Many familiar sights
This looks like it would be a really good VR game.
Jon is a perfect dystopian power tripper.
More please
Making this a main comment as well:

jon simply choosing not to comment on the guy who had 3 toilets in his car
Comrade, we exspect that you to make a short series out of this.
I've played this game a good bit, and dropping prisoners off at the labor camp hits different for someone who actually knows the history behind communist labor camps.
I find it weird how this game leans hard into Eastern Block vibe but also just doesn't do it everywhere. Why is currency dollars for example.
I hope Jon can find that one guy he hired if he livestreams this.
Jon won't notice unless we tell him! LOL
7:20 "No cargo"
That's a great pun
* slow clap *
Definitely need a livestream, this game is great
Looking forward to glorious people's live stream of this, Comrade Nerd.
If there’s one thing with Jon and games that involves crossing the border is that some wild shit is about to happen
Heh, that cure small car you liked, that looks like Fiat 126. We used to have a lot of them in Poland (126p variant)! Their nickname was "the toddler".
They also have their cargo in the front!
jon asking where the new guy is while looking at the tower is peak -1 perception
So Jon has enough Perception to READ BORDER PAPERS, but can't see the tower on top of the border crossing?
Jon come on this game is flipping fantastic, we've got to have more
Please do more of this!
John: "how dare you try to smuggle in 10 cartons of cigarettes! To the Gulag!"
Also John: "oh, you're a trader? Would you like to buy things from the evidence locker?"
Certainly wouldn't say no to more of this!
I knew Jon was going to be a downright terrible cop, but I didn't expect it would go wrong so very, very fast
i have small stroke reading Cyrillic used to represent latin letters
Soityaabaid!
Jon can drive it home.
With one headlight!

Can we get those cucumbers delivered to the UK? Asking for a country.....
Oh and not via Dover!
This game looks more fun and interesting than it has any right to.
If you were to continue this I'd suggest trying splitting what you find 50/50 between what you keep to sell and turn in. See if the turn in gets you promoted faster.
Lets see more of this
The TH-cam titles do not get enough credit. Also I'd love to see more of this
Oh, now I want to see more. I hope we will see more in the future.
38:20 Jon, how is he supposed to get a new ID if you don't let him enter his own country?
Talk to his embassy or consulate I guess?
A game that requires the player to remember details? Oh dear....
please do the live stream. Claire would love a good rebellion.
I hope to see more of this eventually!
I've watched several lets plays of this game and this is the first attack I've ever seen!
Subtitles on the intro said “Lace Jumping” and i cant unhear it.
I'd like to see more of this, it was so much more than I expected.
Can you take your kids to visit the labour camp? A family holiday type thing?
Would love to have this as a live stream. Want to see where the resistance plot goes
Dang, where did you find this game? This was way cooler than I expected it to be.
I love his official Police Constable voice lolol ❤
I'm perplexed... Why are you opening their door immediately? Their rolling down the window and giving the papers through it. And I'm sure you're not allowed as a border check officer
I was wondering why he immediately rips everbodys doors open lol
This game would be amazing with a "My summer car" mechanic where you gather parts and assemble a police car in your spare time. :D
This would make a fantastic livestream 😄
I would love to see more of this!
17:40 "His documents are fine"
Jon, his passport was outdated
34:30 there was contraband hidden in his right-rear tire
Definitely play more of this, please!
Definitely looking forward to the stream for this one!

13:44 different name on the cargo list.
The first guy you hired was your SNIPER, look over your office.
This was really fun, would love it to be a series

I almost started yelling at the screen when he missed the 5th misspelled name on the cargo lists
Gee, I wonder where that sniper Jon had hired is stationed... 46:32
One day before Jon becomes a corrupt border guard. smh
There must be more of this, comrade.
You had me sold at wanky physics.
Wonky physics.
Wanky physics tend to involve the need for tissue paper. 😂
I’d love for this to be made a series
I might actually buy this game based on your recommendation.
Jon please continue this series!
This game was made for a livestream
Please more of this!
I'd like to see more of this. It's interesting.
6:00 wait.. Is that a Maluch? Someone get this game to Wade and Old Mate James over at the Garbage Time channel!
I could watch this for days
Not a livestream, though :/
This game looks awesome! Freakin’ purchased right from this!
Loved the video! Please do more!
More like this is always great
Better not have umbrellas!
44:39 Oh my God, it's Navalny!
I mean those were some fine quality toilets neatly packed in the trunk of the car, I'd let him in regardless. How do you turn down a man with a mohawk, wearing a fashionable tracksuit I might add, and driving a kickass red car!?
definitely continue
this looks surprisingly good.
2:39 Jon congratulations on finally receiving your American citizenship!

And bear in mind, this is pre-internet, pre-PC days. Aren't passport records still paper based?
Jon, the game is called contraband. Why aren't you checking everyone for contraband?
"You are very under arrest"
I feel this would be amazing as a livestream? :p
I would love a livestream Jon lol.
