"If you use up all your ammo at this point, you're softlocked." Well... if you lag out the game hard enough you can get over the counter and hit it with a wrench, but, I take your point regardless.
To be fair, the game hints that he's a veteran of a 20 year long World War, and that this world is in a moral dumpster fire (shows like Friendly Neighborhood, which is basically a Sesame Street/Muppets mashup, were deemed to be harming kids by teaching them to help others. That is the literal reason given in-universe).
@@omegaprime223 well not exaaactly by teaching to help others, but by saying things like 'put others before yourself' which, while noble, isnt a healthy mindset to have, specially not to a kid that might not understand how much one should put value in itself vs others that being said the world there is very bad indeed, specially cause its obvious by gordon's casualness to it (and the sesame/kermit references) that living puppets are simply normal, and that didnt stop them from being left all alone
Between John Szymanski making this amazing game and his brother David making Iron Lung and Dusk, it makes you wonder what's in the water where they live that turned them all into super game devs?
David honed his skills on walking simulators beforehand, and I'm sure he would share expertise with his brother. This also isn't John's debut endeavor, he's made Kyle is Famous previously
That cardboard crayon locale has to be a reference to the Elmo’s World portions of Sesame Street, very similar aesthetic, and fitting since the game is essentially Resident Evil Sesame Street.
This game was a pleasant surprise. I expected a one-time gimmick that would quickly wear out its welcome, not a game where the message of the ending was enough to leave me tearing up slightly because I could relate to
Okay… that ending credits hits good. Nice job on this one, this game is definitely going to be a big hitter in the indie game horror community. It’s not souls. It’s not unalive kids. It’s just puppets. Puppets wanting to be back on TV. This is definitely a great game and thanks for this!
im so glad the mgs3 ladder music was put over the ladder section. a few streamers chats i watched would spam sing the song everytime a speedrunner got to that part. good fun. xD
I absolutely love that the bad ending procs the S required ending XD I'm now imagining someone grinding days in Unfirendly, trying to get to the end with an S, and then someone later breaking it to them that it was possible to do it from the first section.
If you use the free-cam mode cheat, you can essentially skip the entire game. You will still get an S+ rank as well as the achievement. I got it by accident and I wish I could get rid of it as I do not deserve it. As for the normal unfriendly achievement, you probably need to meet certain criteria like beating the final boss or something.
I was really hoping the combat would develop more throughout the game, as the idea and aesthetic was absolutely spot on. It's a little too reliant on the Resident Evil formula without evolving it in any way. Its pretty much the exact same throughout the entire experience.
I like how the best ending is gained by helping the puppets, it’s a really nice change of pace to the usual horror game where you just kill all of them
9:48 Oh shit that legitimately jump scared me because the statue definitely didn't come alive for me when playing on normal difficulty. I can only assume it must be a nice surprise that only happens on harder difficulties.
I really wish there was more of the Unfriendly Neighborhood. It really put the horror into this being survival horror but its gone just as quick as it came right at the very end. Would have loved for an entire segment dedicated after Gordon falls to a nightmare, mixing Gordon's fear of the puppets from his childhood and present with his trauma of the war and what happened. Going through twisting nightmarish recreations of the Studio as well as trenches and villages such before facing off against an amalgamation of all the nightmares. Dying in this segment gives a bad ending while surviving sees Gordon wake up in a bed in the Studio with Ricky and all the various puppets hes encountered and helped around him trying to help and care for him in return to show they really do want to be his friendly neighbors.
That's the greatest achievement ever. So many games I'm like, I could just turn around and leave now and not deal with this shit irl (Re4/7 looking at you).
I don't see anyone else mentioning it. Anyone noticed that in the achievement showcasing with Commando and Simply Stupendous, Commando has a 3.6%, while Simply Stupendous has a 7.1%... do you not get Commando if you get an S rank?
Because seemenly If you use the free-cam mode cheat, you can essentially skip the entire game. You will still get an S+ rank as well as the achievement. As for the normal unfriendly achievement, you seem to need to meet certain criteria like beating the final boss.
Apparently, getting the "leave early" ending will unlock "Simply Stupendous!" But oddly, the "Commando" achievement requires you to play the whole game.
I really hope they make a second game where they actually deal with the unfriendly neighborhood, like Gordon needs to go down and fix their unfriendliness or smth idk
I didn't mean too but i got this achievement in 5 min. How you may ask... well hopefully they patched it but when you beat the game you unlock spectator mode and while using it I interacted with the elevator like you do at the start of the game. Issue was that instead of the normal cutscene with the elevator not being able to open. I got in the elevator and went up to the ceo office. I then left talked with sock puppet like you do after the elevator then went outside. Only to be at the ending. I got S rank and this achievement. All by complete accident.

You can get back into the truck and leave after talking to Ricky the first time. This will finish the game with an S rank unlocking the S rank achievement but not the beat the game achievement.
I might be asking this pre-emptively but did anybody else notice how the S rank unfriendly achievement had a higher % of players who have unlocked it than the standard clear unfriendly achievement? EDIT: Yeah I jumped the gun
By what one person said in another comment, "If you use the free-cam mode cheat, you can essentially skip the entire game. You will still get an S+ rank as well as the achievement.

Splif would have been happy to see this before he attempted a wrench only challenge
Gonna have to watch that run later!
Another Spiff fan? Lets goo
Oh no.... yeah probably would
Ahh yes, that guy whos name is a slang for an illegal weed aswell, Astral-spLiff
Was just thinking that lol
"If you use up all your ammo at this point, you're softlocked."

Oof, i guess i should preface that with *normally*
i like how Gordon is somewhat unbothered that he's being attacked by an army of puppets
Can't beat the normal horrors of working OT

gamer parents had gamer sex and gave birth to gamer kids
I like to think that they mother play all of their games and they will be grounded if the made a bad game😅
Him and the Iron Lung developer are brothers??? Wow!
It just runs in the family
David honed his skills on walking simulators beforehand, and I'm sure he would share expertise with his brother.

I hope this game succeeds, it has heart and actually deserves love unlike most other mascot horror games

12:05 “you gotta play by the rules if you don’t wanna catch a *puppet bitch slap* “
Was happy to help to tell you about that through the wall mask grab

im so glad the mgs3 ladder music was put over the ladder section. a few streamers chats i watched would spam sing the song everytime a speedrunner got to that part. good fun. xD
For some reason, the Taxi puppet was always the easiest one to deal with. It was always the purple one that gave me trouble.
also, some DLC in the unfriendly neighborhood for actual spooks would be awwesome.
I absolutely love that the bad ending procs the S required ending XD I'm now imagining someone grinding days in Unfirendly, trying to get to the end with an S, and then someone later breaking it to them that it was possible to do it from the first section.
:53 how did more people have finishing the game on unfriendly with an S rank than finishing the game on unfriendly normally?

@@MysticMythicalFoxProductions You can easily get rid of it
This game is amazing and creepy. The story is tragic😢
It sure did “mislead” me. I thought Ricky would be a trick villain but the story was really sad to me.
….really?
Aww man it bothers me that he spoke to and befriended all the area-specific puppets EXCEPT Goblette. He just left her there depressed lol
You can talk to her. If you go down there you get honestly my favorite scene. He comforts her and gives a really nice speech
@@G_Light500 Oh I know, it is a really sweet scene. I wasn’t talking about Gordon tho, I meant the person playing the game
@@captain-insano ohhhh my bad. I didn't even think about that when I was watching the video. 💀

That Mindfreak song was a throwback I wasn’t expecting.
You can hit the target behind the counter by lagging the game intentionally and clipping through the counter
I like how the best ending is gained by helping the puppets, it’s a really nice change of pace to the usual horror game where you just kill all of them
The crayon level, Arnold's penthouse, is based on the set of Elmos World, one of the sesame street spinoff shows that would air right after
9:48 Oh shit that legitimately jump scared me because the statue definitely didn't come alive for me when playing on normal difficulty. I can only assume it must be a nice surprise that only happens on harder difficulties.
Always an exciting day when a new Tony video drops :D Looking forward to the next one!

8:58 bro just got a concussion and also that 12:07 was the most calm shout I have ever heard
Criss Angel would love that reference.
7:45 i’m American, and I completely agree😭Also top tier vid👑🗿
Another seamlessly entertaining vid, dude. I kinda wanna play this now
Thanks abyss!
Gotchu man @@anxietony
I've been waiting for a new vid thanks man. I get sadistic happiness watching you suffer 😅
Opened up an old memory with the Chris Angel reference haha
I love the video and how you edit im excited to watch more videos and see you grow on youtube!
shouldve called it "You are excellent!" wouldve been funny since some of the puppets say "Lets be excellent!"
god tier megalovania joke
im just happy someone noticed :- )
That's the greatest achievement ever. So many games I'm like, I could just turn around and leave now and not deal with this shit irl (Re4/7 looking at you).
How do more players have the Simply Stupendous achievement than Commando?
Music jokes are top tier my dude. Subscriber for life.
Can we just talk about how "Commando" is owned by less people than "Simply Stupendous" despite the second one being way harder?
I wondered why twice as many players have "finish Unfriendly with S rank" as have "finish Unfriendly", until I saw how you did it. 😂
I don't see anyone else mentioning it. Anyone noticed that in the achievement showcasing with Commando and Simply Stupendous, Commando has a 3.6%, while Simply Stupendous has a 7.1%... do you not get Commando if you get an S rank?

Another great video. I would love to play this game but I only have Xbox. Oh well
Gotta love seeing more people have completed stupendos than commando
for the puppets the gravity is up to 11 and really fucking funny
MINDFREAAAAAKKKK!!!!! Great funny video as always!
Mindfreak! Loved the video!
Truly the scariest game I have ever seen. Can't believe you finished it.
All the Spiff viewers flooding in with specific ass references and in-jokes 💀
16:00 And back down we go. * ⚡️BOOM⚡️ *
I really enjoy your channel bro. Keep it up
0:53 why do MORE people have simply stupendous than unfriendly? How is that even possible!?
Apparently, getting the "leave early" ending will unlock "Simply Stupendous!" But oddly, the "Commando" achievement requires you to play the whole game.
Take a shot everytime he mentions resident evil and you'll be shit faced 3 minutes in
Just like Chris in Resident Evil 6...
all those metal gear vibes couldn't be ignored.
Now unfriendly and get p rank
But here is a tip: do not get hit by forknights
13:50 engineer: “i beg to differ”
AstralSpiff completed the game wrench only, including the final boss! 17:01
Damn, gonna have to go watch that!
what a fantastic video. This should be on the frontpage of youtube
sorry Gef, they said it'll be up there once you beat Blasphemous 2
are you aware of the secret gun that comes with loads of ammo?
I really hope they make a second game where they actually deal with the unfriendly neighborhood, like Gordon needs to go down and fix their unfriendliness or smth idk
Beatings will continue until friendliness improves
i’m pretty sure the cardboard area is called the penthouse
it takes well over 500 hits to kill the final boss you just run around with a wrench.
Ideas are popping into my head dude... MFN DLC: cleanse of the unfriendly. Would go so hard
Scariest part was that he was clothed in the bathtub
I didn't mean too but i got this achievement in 5 min. How you may ask... well hopefully they patched it but when you beat the game you unlock spectator mode and while using it I interacted with the elevator like you do at the start of the game.

13:58 not the question I expected lol
My favorite friendly streamer playing my favorite friendly Resident Evil game ❤
I'll never see Sesame Street the same way.
This is a super good video rlly funny!
Ty for the new content!! 🙇 🙇 🙇
How did 1/2 the people have Commando (Unfriendly - Any Rank) compared to Simply Stupendous (Unfriendly + S-Rank)
Apparently, getting the "leave early" ending will unlock "Simply Stupendous!" But oddly, the "Commando" achievement requires you to play the whole game.
Unfriendly mode is Just minecraft but x5 stronger mobs
i just realized... ricky's voice actor sounds like Arlo-
Is it just me or naw?
He is Arlo
4:05 MIND FREEEAAAAKKKKK
0:54 how do more people have simply stupendous than commando. Makes no sense
7:43 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
WHAT A THRILL
Spigg you mean
7:09 is pearle bad in the beginning or not?
How tf do more people have the simply stupendous achievement compared to Commando?
Because of the glitch with the van
@@hunterchichester5720 Ahhh yeah makes sense
Literally anything
I understood the criss angel reference 😂
😂
How did Gordon survive like a fifty foot drop?
built different
13:43 What happened to the engineer
Why does Beat Unfriendly have a lower completion percentage than Beat Unfriendly with an S Rank?
Don't worry, I uh, continued watching the video lol
:- )
Love the video!
I never have anything of worth to comment, but I would like to see more videos so I shall comment so the algorithm shows your video to more people.
Absolute gamer move
Please tell me we getting a 100,000 sub special we’re you give us TH-cam people a vid channel
Ill be uploading the Outlast 2 VODs starting next week! Eyes open for a community post!
0:55 how is it possible that more people beat the game on unfriendly with S rank, than just beating the game on unfriendly?👀
You can get back into the truck and leave after talking to Ricky the first time. This will finish the game with an S rank unlocking the S rank achievement but not the beat the game achievement.
*Flips Wrench*
Can u do little nightmares hard to the core?
i'll give it a look! is it a no death run?
You mention amnesia the bunker so now you have to make a video on it bro
Tempted honestly
I might be asking this pre-emptively but did anybody else notice how the S rank unfriendly achievement had a higher % of players who have unlocked it than the standard clear unfriendly achievement?
EDIT: Yeah I jumped the gun
By what one person said in another comment, "If you use the free-cam mode cheat, you can essentially skip the entire game. You will still get an S+ rank as well as the achievement.

Fun video. Thanks.
MIND FREAAAAAK
Should do wolfenstein the new order
Not scary but good story and gameplay
Considering how fast Astral Spiff beat Unfriendly AND Unfriendly with Wrench only; this wasn't much of a challenge.
Real talk more games need demos. I had zero interest in ff16 then i played the demo and i preordered
demo supremacy
15:13 i hate you😂😂😂😂😂😂
I hate you 😂 4:05
u can just like leave it’s not the hardest challenge
