Honestly the way it decided to approach the thing it tried to parody was... pretty respectful. It didn't use the setting of Sesame Street and turn it into a gore, scarefest crap. In the end the puppets were abandoned and just wanted to do what they were supposed to do.
Yeah, the only reason the (normal) puppets are hurting Gordon is because they're just...REALLY dumb, they want to do what they think they're the best at, but they just haven't done it for so long that they accidentaly hurt Gordon without knowing it Of course the larger puppets have different reasons Pearl is just blind and has no idea what she's doing, Ray thinks hitting you will "fix" things, Goblette is just scared and panicked, eating because of it. And the dogs are just hungy
yes, and no... they are, in a modern light but also the childhood mind is different. Our minds then filled in a lot of different details than they do now that we've acquired a different lens
Sesame Street was unsettling by having Oscar The Grouch. Tellie Tubbies...couldn't understand for the life of me! And finally...Peewee's Playhouse (at times).
I totally agree I mean looking back on some of the shows that I watched as a little little kid I can't help but think seriously I actually liked watching this what the hell was I psychotic back than? Seriously looking at it now from the perspective of a grown adult I can't help but notice just how weird those shows were how the hell was I not freaked out by those shows as a kid?
I just love how when you “defeat” the bosses you’re actually helping them in the end. They weren’t really trying to kill your character in cold blood. It was just an problem they needed help solving, but couldn’t necessarily communicate it properly . Like the bird with the glasses. or the green thing with the big mouth?? Edit: after hearing the creator is the brother of the person that made iron lung, the well done gameplay really shows that in a way. This person probably got some good tips and inspiration from their sibling. And both games are hella good.
@@parthernnixxart4623he's got a point though. İ mean, compared to this game, iron lung is pretty dull, but that doesn't make it bad. Especially considering that this game was worked on way longer and was meant to deliver an entirely different theme. Both games are great nonetheless.
@@BoBo-pl3ww still I love iron lung even if it’s not the best game to others. I’m not too picky when it comes to games. It’s just my personal preference. I personally think it’s also not really fair to compare the two when both of them have completely different stories, and a completely different gameplay. There’s a lot of people that like games that don’t have a lot of action.
Hell yeah i totally agree with you. I love IJP's videos so much, and this one comes in handy since idk what else to watch. Great work IGP, like always total banger
I read the 'Shoot puppet and he multiplies' moment with Norman was an ascended glitch. The dev had that happen in early tests and decided it was a cool horror moment to add on purpose.
If i recall, it was a fan-favorite glitch that they liked rather than disliked, so instead of remove it the dev implemented it as part of a setpiece. And i can see why, since it's the perfect mix of an "OH CRAP!" scare while also being hilarious.
As IGP kept saying Resident Evil over and over in the beginning, it made me realize that "My Friendly Neighborhood" is the opposite of "Resident Evil", title-wise.. Even the word order is opposite.
Watching this made me long for my childhood. You're right on about a lot of your thoughs Indie. As a Gen Xer, many of the early programs tried to teach us about being a neighbor, a friend, a member of the community; but by the time we reached the end of the 80s the shows we watched taught us to be combative, to question everything and to be guarded. As someone in my early 50s, it makes me realize how much we've lost as a society. Thanks to the developers, the programmers and to you. Hopefully, all of us can get a glimpse of a better tomorrow and help us strive to reach the same.
Yeah, my stepdad made a similar comment about the problems we face and the need for collective action instead of tearing each other down. Then I said, "that why youre always complaining about students being in a scratch less debt but haven't complained about the PPP loans once?" I notice a lotta talk, but not a lot of walk, in your guys' generation. No offense.
@@cctomcat321From what I read, PPP loans forgiveness was to help during covid 19 lockdowns when businesses couldn't afford to payback said loans due to closures. Not sure how that equates to student loans needing to be forgiven...
That is right, although both of them is justifiable, and understandable, it's like this saying: to have trust is to be willing to be betrayed, The implication of both is that one gives us a more hospitable a friendlier environment although with a risk of being manipulated, but the other option cause us to be more distant, and wary of each other, sure it'll probably keep you safe, but you'll never feel such healthy communities, no warmth in friendship, and no security in other people. But still, we can do both, to have trust in others in a realistic way, and also being ok with some level of betrayal, just that people has different methods on differing what is realistic and what is not... so meh hehehee Hmm, although some communities like some countries do have different levels, america has a feel of ambition and efficiency, countries in europe has a feel of fulfillment and enjoyment of life, and some in between, and also some countries like the above, In America such ambitions can be prone to rivalry so idk, The causes of the coop up citizens may be; Other than the american noosphere, it may be the infrastructure of the city, urbanist channels may explain better than me; not just bikes, city beautiful, etc, but still, this is a chicken or the egg problem, but the timing suggest the vietnam war happened first, so maybe the infrastructure's animosity feel like nature came from that, idk
@MrJaces because the student loan debt forgiveness would actually help relieve the pressure of debt and be an action of class solidarity where most of the PPP loans went to businesses who didn' really need it, and the ones who did couldn't get it. Millions of dollars of *debt* was *forgiven.* Not hard to draw the parallels. Difference is, people in congress and senate weren't getting student loans forgiven, and it was far more than 10-20k. MTG had $183.5k forgiven, alone. The point being student loan forgiveness is a _good_ thing. Or if you're going to complain, be consistent.
@@MrJaces You're being a little naive. You can look up who near you had PPP loans forgiven, a guy near me makes people counters and had over 100k forgiven. He has no employees and no physical storefront, covid did not hurt him at all -- in fact he sold MORE because businesses wanted to keep track of how many folks were in their stores in order to regulate social distancing. He had no reason to have 3 fully forgiven PPP loans -- and he suddenly has a boat and pool, how ODD. Student loan forgiveness would stimulate the economy, PPP loans did the same but it was fraud at a very high level and a great amount of that is likely hoarded.
Thank you SO MUCH for actually going through the game actually reading and chatting about the lore as you find it!! It feels like most let’s-players these days just skip the story or make you pause the video to learn the lore alone, then complain how they don’t understand what’s going on! It’s so frustrating! But thanks again for spend a little more time and energy going through the story with us. 💜
I agree with this so much!!! Other players just run through and skip notes/the story, and they complain and say, "I don't get it, I don't understand what's going on!". And then they say the game sucks, when in reality, the creators took their time and effort making a story for a reason and the game ends up being amazing. (Not always but most of the time). This game deserved the exploring, reading, acknowledging every puppet and backstory. This was worth the 2 hrs. ♡
@@kimberlynaa. It's so fucking infuriating. I work in games journalism and am working on switching over to writing for games. I just *know* that if/when that happens, some dipshit will make a YT video about how the story makes no sense after refusing to read the carefully crafted two-paragraph codex entries and collectible items I painstakingly wrote to leave narrative breadcrumbs for the player to follow. That, or I'll write some voicelogs for them to find and they'll yell over them for the entire game, not listening to a single word, and then come to the same conclusion: ending makes no sense/game sucks. MatPat's Game Theory on Subnautica is a perfect example. He glossed over the lore, barely glanced at any of it, and came to the conclusion that the player's actions will ultimately irradiate the planet and destroy it, which makes no sense lore-wise, no sense science-wise, and is openly proven to be untrue in the sequel, set 10 years after the original game (it's also proven to be untrue in the original game). You're literally saving the fucking ecosystem in that game, not destroying it. It has a lot of codex entries to read which can get overwhelming, but it's easy to figure out which ones are just flavor text and which ones very much need to be read. So annoying. Like if you hate lore, that's fine. Play the game and ignore the lore. Just don't act like your opinion on the game matters/is worth sharing when you openly refused to interact with or pay attention to literally half of the game. It's one thing if they've played it before and don't wanna reread everything, but for the most part, the "I ain't reading all that, pause this video if you wanna read it" YT crowd is just...ugh. Even Markiplier does it sometimes and then gets confused, but he's not nearly as bad about it as some others are.
Yeah, that's true. That's why I watch only IGP's let's plays. He's literally only TH-camr that's not only actually reads notes (adding to it pretty cool editing), but most importantly thinking about the lore, making theories in real-time.
@@nikolaiwarynski Yes, such a good point about theorizing in real-time. It's crazy to me that so many people can, like IGP, play very similar games in the same genre (survival horror/thriller/sci-fi, in this case) for YEARS. Like, hundreds of these games. Yet unlike IGP, after YEARS of playing the same types of games over and over, so many of them still haven't figured out that unless you're doing a speedrun, the lore is fucking important. ESPECIALLY in games where atmosphere is everything. Again, using Subnautica as an example, the first time you see a Reaper Leviathan and hear its roar, you're like oh god oh fuck oh no oh shi--. You'll often hear that roar in the distance, in murky water where you may only see a short flash of a fin, or nothing at all. But if you manage to scan a Reaper, the codex entry explains that they're blind, and use echolocation to see prey. The codex entry explains that if you can hear the Reaper, it can see you. That shit made my blood run cold, gave me valuable gameplay info (ie: I no longer assumed I was safe if I just heard a distant roar but saw nothing), and also just gave me an immense sense of dread, really upping the tense atmosphere. Sorry for the rant, people just don't know what they're missing. As a games journalist, I get all kinds of shit ("[game company] paid you for that review!!!!11 How dare u give good score to confusing badgame!?!!1") and it's just like, nah man, it's just my opinion... but also I can tell you didn't read a damn word of the lore so kindly go cyberbully someone else and try to use actual facts lmao. IGP > the rest.
This entire game is a metaphore for depression, cynicism, empathy and personal purpose. Despite all the travesties, lies, and manipulation shoved in our faces, there is still "good" out there. In fact, it's these "good" choices that Gordon makes, that create moments that actual mean something, like helping certain puppets with their specific problems. Not only does helping the puppets remove obsticles from Gordon's perspective of the world, but it also benefits more than just Gordon, making the world a slightly better place than if he just treated them all as monsters. It's easy to convince ourselves, in our own minds, that people acting in ways that inconvenience or harm us in certain ways, are monsters that need to be avoided or stopped at all costs. What's difficult, is ignoring such thoughts. Understanding that these people, like ourselves, have problems of their own that cause them to act out in ways that aren't necessarily charicteristic of who they are, or even who they dream to be. *_*Spoiler*_* Notice how doing something selfless is the good ending of the game, despite it costing Gordon his job? The _real_ bad ending, is Gordon getting promoted. Despite doing what is expected of him, getting promoted and earning more money, Gordon's depression remains, and festers. Slowly eating away at him, as there is no "light" left in his life. This is a translation to real life expectation for what "success" is. Many might say "Well, wealth and fame are obvious forms of success!", yet media constantly reminds us of how unhappy celebreties often are, with alcoholism, drug addiction, and a variety of psychological disorders. Ask yourself; "If wealth and fame are successful, then why are so many celebreties miserable?". The answer is; 1. Wealth and fame do not = happyness 2. it's not just celebreties. We only see it happen to celebreties more, because paparazzi make celebrety personal lives public. True success/purpose differs from person to person, and can be one of the most difficult things to identify for ones self. Maybe it's authoring a book, creating a game, saving people as a doctor, discovering cures to an illness as a chemist/microbiologist, understanding how the world works as a physicist, or so many other possibilities. It doesn't have to be something grandiose. It just needs to have personal value to you, as long as it doesn't inhibit other people's right to exist.
this is beautiful, and makes so much sense. The game is just such a masterpiece honestly, not like the typical game with puppets and mascots (something like Garten of Banban, Poppy's playtime, which are pretty good still, and knockoff fnaf games). It has deep messages that you have to actually look into, it gives so many raw and mixed feelings. There's the depressing parts, and then there's the parts that make your heart feel warm and fuzzy, but then parts that make you scared (since it's still a horror game). Probably one of the best games recently
Mainly because most indie games are made with passion and love. Unlike most AAA studios that only aim for the big bucks. Respect for everyone of those indie devs and studios who's ever reading this, keep up all your great works:)
@appalachiabrauchfrau funny enough, some of that said underbelly lives above it rather than in it those kinds of people hide in light rather than darkness but the minute that light is removed and is no longer blinding people to the truth those cowards using that light have their darkness revealed the suits running the network are one of this games examples of such people like that
Having mental health issues which prohibits me enjoying playing games these days this is a great option for me. It’s like watching and or playing a game with a friend. Whilst this might not work for everyone it works for me so thank you for your non-offensive, inclusive, charming (in your own way 😅), video content, it gives me the chance to ‘play’ the games I wouldn’t usually be able to. Again, thank you so much and keep up the awesome work.
I know the feeling Not being able to play games because your Brian's doing a 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤯 These vids are great background noise to keep up with the stuff though 😊
Sorry for any ingnorance, but what mental health issues keeps one from playing games? Don't have to explain if you're not comfortable. Just a name would suffice. Thanks
The Mystic Maze? The Shadow Sapphire? Cute little homages to The Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal. You wouldn’t think a puppet could be horrifying but the Skeksis gave me nightmares lol.
Also the TV Shows Ricky with friends is Sam and Friends, Wubmump Caverns is Fraggel Rock, The Scribe is the Storyteller, and other movies are Puppet Pirate cove is Muppet Treasure Island, The Puppets Storm Chicago is Muppets Take Manhattan, The Puppets Big Heist is the Great Muppet Caper and Puppet Winter song is Muppet Chistmas Carol.
*SPOILERS:* So glad you got the best ending because you helped out the main puppets. I got worried you'd miss the scene with Gobblette. But thankfully you didn't. This game is such a gem and definitely will be remembered for a while. The message of the game is beautiful and feels so real.
I can't begin to express my relief hearing Indie pronounce "duct tape" correctly. Also, it's so good seeing someone *actually* being thorough in this game! So many others have been blasting through it and then complaining they don't have any tokens. Fucking infuriating. Thank you, IGP.😅
In defense of people who say duck tape, duct tape was ORIGINALLY called duck tape, named for the duck cloth on the adhesive backing. These days Duck Tape primarily refers to the name brand, but pretty much all duct tape is duck tape.
Yea, I'm aware of the brand's name. But also, a lot of people my age - who should know it's duct tape - are mostly the same people who call it "expresso" and say "supposively."
As a writer I hope I can achieve making people feel as many distinct and opposing emotions as this game, My friendly neighborhood is an absolute masterpiece.
I recommend The Little Red Writing Book, Eats, Shoots & Leaves, Prose Poetry in Theory and Practice, Writer's Guide to Character Traits and Working with Words. Those are pretty solid foundational intro to creative writing course books that (iirc) you can find for free if you poke around libgen. Good luck in your writing career, hobby or otherwise!
Bro this game. The good ending is just so beautiful. “You turn around and see the raising sun, maybe it hurts a little to look at. But you dont care, because it’s leading you home.” FUCKING BEAUTIFUL
I always love to see games being played twice or thrice by the indie gamers I watch on yt. One from demo, another with early access, and the full release. You can see the progress in each major updates and get to watch their reactions on them, I love it.
Kind felt like each time Gordan got to calm one of the puppets, he in turn worked through something of his own. Im pretty sure Gordan was a soldier in the war; lord know the trauma and trials he went though.
delivering some solid gameplay and commentary as ever IGP. probably one of the few super lengthy videos i actually watched all the way through to the end in one sitting. you simply cannot go wrong with the horror genre whenever it comes to what kind of content you upload.
Is he though? He becomes a good hearted person in the end, but before that he seems resentful and on the edge to bitterness. (Some of his remarks are rather spitful. Not completely mean, but also not good or pure hearted) Rather seems like he is a struggling person, and in the end you can decide on which side of life he'll end up.
IGP you're so fucking great. Dropping the whole game in one video AND you made me laugh out loud twice in the first 4 minutes. Making me laugh out loud at all is a tough challenge. That's why you're one of, like, 5 youtubers I have notifications on for out of 250+. Keep on keeping on
I know you get this a lot but I’ve been watching for 5 years and I appreciate your videos and the amount of effort you and your friends put in for us, thanks for the 2 hour video I will make sure to enjoy it!
What an awesome game! I love the little sections of surprisingly deep emotion, and the overall moral of the story. Really makes it stand out in the saturated mascot horror scene and reach a cut above the others
Such a great game. Love the voice actors, the story plot and writing. The dimensions of this game is incredible. Hopefully there another one or something like a prequel. The voice actor that plays Gordon legit sounds like Liam Neeson. Truly enjoyed the game!
This was...genuinely good. I didn't think I'd watch the entire thing through but I did and wow. I'm surprised at both myself and at how well put together the story of this game was. It kept you going, the comic relief felt properly timed, and even being a viewer made me feel like the message was properly given.
I took my time to enjoy every minute of this video and in typical IGP fashion, it did not disappoint! This game was fun and got me all in my feelings. Reminded me of why I fell in love with gaming in the first place. Thanks for being our guide, IGP! ♥️
Watched this over the course of three days of so, what a ride... not going to lie, the dialogue almost had me in tears a few times. It was beautiful and sad, and i love how they didn't force any fluff or feel good moments, up until the very end where they let you choose. And while i also would have chosen the ''light'' I think choosing the ''dark'' was a perfectly sad ending to a perfectly sad story. 10/10 play-though, loved every moment of it.
It definitely was referencing Vietnam. My great grandfather, though he didn't serve in the Vietnam War (he served in the Korean War), kept tabs in regards to the war in Vietnam. What he witnessed after the veterans returned greatly saddened him and is the reason why he talked me out of enlisting when I turned 18. That and he preferred seeing his grandson in one piece rather than in multiple pieces or missing a piece
You know you've been playing horror games for too long when your first thought to the word chest is someone rooting around in their own internal organs 😆
I just realized something about the health halfway through watching the video, its not the puppets that actually hurt him, well they do but the health only goes down once he falls on the floor, so the puppets probably can't do much blunt attacks towards the player, just throwing them into a hard surface
This is definitely up there with one of my favourite videos of yours. Probably my favorite video of yours honestly. Both your commentary and the game were absolutely fantastic to experience. I really hope to see you play all those new modes sometime!
I'm about an hour in and I've seen puppets suffering but knowing the dogs haven't been fed in a long time filled me with sadness. Idgf about the puppets unless they are dogs apparently
A horrible experience for everyone involved especially on the battlefield and it wasn't any better for soldiers who came home as instead of being welcomed as heroes like what would have happened before they were instead labeled as martyrs and pariahs although I'd like to see someone keep singing that same tune after they would have experienced the same thing as the soldiers best not to judge someone like that until you've walked a mile in their shoes
I loved this game so much, and to be honest I think the best way to describe it is “I’d never imagine that a puppet game would make me fell so many different emotions at the same time”
It's been quite a while since I came across your channel. And the first video is just awesome how much I liked it. I've been watching you for about two years, IGP, and your charisma is just fucking awesome. Greetings from Russia to you and all your subscribers ! Keep up the good work, man. I'll start watching the video right now
I initially put this on as some background noise while I worked on finishing some drawings, but I ended up paying attention after like 45 minutes. Now I'm super emotional. Good game, I remember when the demo came out and I remember thinking "eh. Looks alright, probably gonna forget about it." and I did. I'm glad you played this game.
Same, his video derailed my comic update. The story was too poignant and the voice acting was too good to shunt the let's play into a collapsed window.
The emotion after watching the video is insane. The thing I hate the worst is the feeling of existential crisis. Really good game, the writing especially.
24:28 Puppet: I wonder what happens when I scream? IGP: I wonder what happens when I kick your ass! 3 seconds later: IGP gets his ass kicked by a puppet.
I've been going through some shit, and distractions are all nice and good but this game made me face some of it, it made me really think about some things that while I already had thoughts and opinions on I had no way to voice them myself, and I can already tell this game is going to reach a lot of people, thank you whoever made this game, you've done and said what I never could, or at least did so in a way that could actually reach people, unlike my powerless self. thank you.
I really love the scary ambience that was added in by whomever edited this video. It fits perfectly and I wish it was in the actual game. I figured that they wanted you to hear the babble of the NPCs but, there's not always characters around, so some areas are dead silent. I think some ominous sounds would have been perfect at certain points of the game.
Awesome. Can’t wait to watch! Been going through all your original stuff lately! Like 7-10 years ago. Crazy how far you’ve come with editing and all! Oh and if you remember cause I just watched it “I don’t wanna go to the short room”
I thought it was really touching that Gordon’s Yes ending his moment to be his movie theater dialogue with Gobblette. 1:25:42 “There was this scene of a man riding into this big, blazing sunset, and I remember when it came up it just caught me. I dunno if it was the plot or the music or what, but my heart just suddenly leapt, like… Like I had just heard an old friend calling my name.” 2:06:21 “It’s hard to describe… It’s like your lost in a tunnel, until suddenly a voice calls your name. And you turn around and you see the rising sun. And it’s so bright, maybe it hurts a little to look at. But you don’t care, because it’s leading you home.”
this popped up in my recommended before i actually saw it on my subscription page and the excitement i felt was immeasurable. i was super hoping you'd play this so i'm so happy you did!
LOL "that isn't how you close a door FRIEND" so many emotions, agreed. This was well done! Edits were great and the game itself was definitely an experience. :)
I really like how the puppets are treated as pretty normal in the game’s world, similar to the Muppets no one is confused or questions their existence.
I understand tall guy problems. I once saw a guy at the grocery store that had to be close to 8 feet tall trying to push a shopping cart around. He had to basically bend over to reach the handle.
Oh my god dude. This game, Is actually insane. Igp your mazeworking and puzzle solving was insane, yeah the picture puzzle that required the first five or 6 of the pages in order, you had that part perfect, good job. But again AAA game dude, felt everything, yet still numb the pain. Good day. .
i sat through the while video/movie without getting up once, and like always, i didnt regret it. i love your content so much, keep up the great work man.
I think this game is something worth playing...and is extremely deep, when you put it in the historical context of American society in the period from the 1960's-today. It's effectively a collective psychoanalysis. What Ricky said while Gordon was on the Tower, the final address from the show's creator, the little bits of reading on the so-called "Northern War" (just substitute Vietnam War), the dark turn storytelling (for both children and adults) took during the 80's and 90's...we embraced it because we thought it was more "real" than the kinder alternatives. I did the same thing, in my youth. But...I can't argue with Ricky. The rich were awful eager for us to embrace this dark turn, at least after a fashion. Nobody tries to fix anything if they're convinced there's no point in doing so. It's true the rich pushed mindless optimism, and still does. But it pushes mindless pessmism just as hard. Reflect on your own life; how many of us have been Gordon's pushing away the Ricky's of the world? I certainly am guilty of it. And...it fills me with great shame.
The fact that the gun loads 26 "rounds" at a time, one for every letter of the alphabet, is a nice detail. And it fires them in order. If it didn't, it would be unplayable. 😂
Holy shit, the contrast between those endings. Some of the writing in this (and the voice acting) was just beautiful. The music, too! I had seen the demo but didn't know the story was gonna be like this. They nailed everything about this.
Honestly the way it decided to approach the thing it tried to parody was... pretty respectful. It didn't use the setting of Sesame Street and turn it into a gore, scarefest crap. In the end the puppets were abandoned and just wanted to do what they were supposed to do.
What about da part where he shoots da thingy with the thing 👹14:52
Yeah, the only reason the (normal) puppets are hurting Gordon is because they're just...REALLY dumb, they want to do what they think they're the best at, but they just haven't done it for so long that they accidentaly hurt Gordon without knowing it
Of course the larger puppets have different reasons
Pearl is just blind and has no idea what she's doing, Ray thinks hitting you will "fix" things, Goblette is just scared and panicked, eating because of it. And the dogs are just hungy
@@Xmarkthings❤
ppl❤ppp
don't forget the fact that most of them went completely insane due to being abandoned in the process.
When you go back to seeing some of your childhood favorite shows, you realize at how disturbing the characters are now
Yes, but watch the video until the end… the intent of these shows is the pure opposite of disturbing.
yes, and no... they are, in a modern light but also the childhood mind is different. Our minds then filled in a lot of different details than they do now that we've acquired a different lens
to be honest If i went back and saw the original bionicles standing right there, i dont know if id bring myself to attack...
Sesame Street was unsettling by having Oscar The Grouch. Tellie Tubbies...couldn't understand for the life of me! And finally...Peewee's Playhouse (at times).

bro read my mind
thats what im saying
Perfect to start my night.

Yeah, my stepdad made a similar comment about the problems we face and the need for collective action instead of tearing each other down.
Then I said, "that why youre always complaining about students being in a scratch less debt but haven't complained about the PPP loans once?"
I notice a lotta talk, but not a lot of walk, in your guys' generation. No offense.
@@cctomcat321From what I read, PPP loans forgiveness was to help during covid 19 lockdowns when businesses couldn't afford to payback said loans due to closures. Not sure how that equates to student loans needing to be forgiven...
That is right, although both of them is justifiable, and understandable, it's like this saying: to have trust is to be willing to be betrayed,
The implication of both is that one gives us a more hospitable a friendlier environment although with a risk of being manipulated, but the other option cause us to be more distant, and wary of each other, sure it'll probably keep you safe, but you'll never feel such healthy communities, no warmth in friendship, and no security in other people.
But still, we can do both, to have trust in others in a realistic way, and also being ok with some level of betrayal, just that people has different methods on differing what is realistic and what is not... so meh hehehee
Hmm, although some communities like some countries do have different levels, america has a feel of ambition and efficiency, countries in europe has a feel of fulfillment and enjoyment of life, and some in between, and also some countries like the above,
In America such ambitions can be prone to rivalry so idk,
The causes of the coop up citizens may be;
Other than the american noosphere, it may be the infrastructure of the city, urbanist channels may explain better than me; not just bikes, city beautiful, etc, but still, this is a chicken or the egg problem, but the timing suggest the vietnam war happened first, so maybe the infrastructure's animosity feel like nature came from that, idk
@MrJaces because the student loan debt forgiveness would actually help relieve the pressure of debt and be an action of class solidarity where most of the PPP loans went to businesses who didn' really need it, and the ones who did couldn't get it.
Millions of dollars of *debt* was *forgiven.*
Not hard to draw the parallels. Difference is, people in congress and senate weren't getting student loans forgiven, and it was far more than 10-20k.
MTG had $183.5k forgiven, alone.
The point being student loan forgiveness is a _good_ thing. Or if you're going to complain, be consistent.
@@MrJaces You're being a little naive. You can look up who near you had PPP loans forgiven, a guy near me makes people counters and had over 100k forgiven. He has no employees and no physical storefront, covid did not hurt him at all -- in fact he sold MORE because businesses wanted to keep track of how many folks were in their stores in order to regulate social distancing. He had no reason to have 3 fully forgiven PPP loans -- and he suddenly has a boat and pool, how ODD.
Student loan forgiveness would stimulate the economy, PPP loans did the same but it was fraud at a very high level and a great amount of that is likely hoarded.
Thank you SO MUCH for actually going through the game actually reading and chatting about the lore as you find it!! It feels like most let’s-players these days just skip the story or make you pause the video to learn the lore alone, then complain how they don’t understand what’s going on! It’s so frustrating! But thanks again for spend a little more time and energy going through the story with us. 💜
"Cool game, story made no sense tho." Meanwhile they refused to read a single word of it.
I agree with this so much!!! Other players just run through and skip notes/the story, and they complain and say, "I don't get it, I don't understand what's going on!". And then they say the game sucks, when in reality, the creators took their time and effort making a story for a reason and the game ends up being amazing. (Not always but most of the time). This game deserved the exploring, reading, acknowledging every puppet and backstory. This was worth the 2 hrs. ♡
@@kimberlynaa. It's so fucking infuriating. I work in games journalism and am working on switching over to writing for games. I just *know* that if/when that happens, some dipshit will make a YT video about how the story makes no sense after refusing to read the carefully crafted two-paragraph codex entries and collectible items I painstakingly wrote to leave narrative breadcrumbs for the player to follow. That, or I'll write some voicelogs for them to find and they'll yell over them for the entire game, not listening to a single word, and then come to the same conclusion: ending makes no sense/game sucks.
MatPat's Game Theory on Subnautica is a perfect example. He glossed over the lore, barely glanced at any of it, and came to the conclusion that the player's actions will ultimately irradiate the planet and destroy it, which makes no sense lore-wise, no sense science-wise, and is openly proven to be untrue in the sequel, set 10 years after the original game (it's also proven to be untrue in the original game). You're literally saving the fucking ecosystem in that game, not destroying it. It has a lot of codex entries to read which can get overwhelming, but it's easy to figure out which ones are just flavor text and which ones very much need to be read. So annoying. Like if you hate lore, that's fine. Play the game and ignore the lore. Just don't act like your opinion on the game matters/is worth sharing when you openly refused to interact with or pay attention to literally half of the game.
It's one thing if they've played it before and don't wanna reread everything, but for the most part, the "I ain't reading all that, pause this video if you wanna read it" YT crowd is just...ugh. Even Markiplier does it sometimes and then gets confused, but he's not nearly as bad about it as some others are.
Yeah, that's true. That's why I watch only IGP's let's plays. He's literally only TH-camr that's not only actually reads notes (adding to it pretty cool editing), but most importantly thinking about the lore, making theories in real-time.
@@nikolaiwarynski Yes, such a good point about theorizing in real-time. It's crazy to me that so many people can, like IGP, play very similar games in the same genre (survival horror/thriller/sci-fi, in this case) for YEARS. Like, hundreds of these games. Yet unlike IGP, after YEARS of playing the same types of games over and over, so many of them still haven't figured out that unless you're doing a speedrun, the lore is fucking important. ESPECIALLY in games where atmosphere is everything.
Again, using Subnautica as an example, the first time you see a Reaper Leviathan and hear its roar, you're like oh god oh fuck oh no oh shi--. You'll often hear that roar in the distance, in murky water where you may only see a short flash of a fin, or nothing at all. But if you manage to scan a Reaper, the codex entry explains that they're blind, and use echolocation to see prey. The codex entry explains that if you can hear the Reaper, it can see you. That shit made my blood run cold, gave me valuable gameplay info (ie: I no longer assumed I was safe if I just heard a distant roar but saw nothing), and also just gave me an immense sense of dread, really upping the tense atmosphere.
Sorry for the rant, people just don't know what they're missing. As a games journalist, I get all kinds of shit ("[game company] paid you for that review!!!!11 How dare u give good score to confusing badgame!?!!1") and it's just like, nah man, it's just my opinion... but also I can tell you didn't read a damn word of the lore so kindly go cyberbully someone else and try to use actual facts lmao.
IGP > the rest.
This entire game is a metaphore for depression, cynicism, empathy and personal purpose.
Despite all the travesties, lies, and manipulation shoved in our faces, there is still "good" out there. In fact, it's these "good" choices that Gordon makes, that create moments that actual mean something, like helping certain puppets with their specific problems. Not only does helping the puppets remove obsticles from Gordon's perspective of the world, but it also benefits more than just Gordon, making the world a slightly better place than if he just treated them all as monsters.
It's easy to convince ourselves, in our own minds, that people acting in ways that inconvenience or harm us in certain ways, are monsters that need to be avoided or stopped at all costs. What's difficult, is ignoring such thoughts. Understanding that these people, like ourselves, have problems of their own that cause them to act out in ways that aren't necessarily charicteristic of who they are, or even who they dream to be.
*_*Spoiler*_*
Notice how doing something selfless is the good ending of the game, despite it costing Gordon his job? The _real_ bad ending, is Gordon getting promoted. Despite doing what is expected of him, getting promoted and earning more money, Gordon's depression remains, and festers. Slowly eating away at him, as there is no "light" left in his life.
This is a translation to real life expectation for what "success" is. Many might say "Well, wealth and fame are obvious forms of success!", yet media constantly reminds us of how unhappy celebreties often are, with alcoholism, drug addiction, and a variety of psychological disorders. Ask yourself; "If wealth and fame are successful, then why are so many celebreties miserable?". The answer is;
1. Wealth and fame do not = happyness
2. it's not just celebreties. We only see it happen to celebreties more, because paparazzi make celebrety personal lives public.
True success/purpose differs from person to person, and can be one of the most difficult things to identify for ones self. Maybe it's authoring a book, creating a game, saving people as a doctor, discovering cures to an illness as a chemist/microbiologist, understanding how the world works as a physicist, or so many other possibilities. It doesn't have to be something grandiose. It just needs to have personal value to you, as long as it doesn't inhibit other people's right to exist.
I hope more people see this message. We all really need to hear advice like this more often nowadays.
this is beautiful, and makes so much sense. The game is just such a masterpiece honestly, not like the typical game with puppets and mascots (something like Garten of Banban, Poppy's playtime, which are pretty good still, and knockoff fnaf games). It has deep messages that you have to actually look into, it gives so many raw and mixed feelings. There's the depressing parts, and then there's the parts that make your heart feel warm and fuzzy, but then parts that make you scared (since it's still a horror game). Probably one of the best games recently
I ain't reading all that
@@randomOhioan Cool story.
@@kccreationsgaming ok
Watching Indie beat the absolute shit out of the puppet person with a wrench is top tier content
This game was better than 99% of the triple A games I've seen recently. There's no time at all I've felt that the game under performed.
Mainly because most indie games are made with passion and love. Unlike most AAA studios that only aim for the big bucks. Respect for everyone of those indie devs and studios who's ever reading this, keep up all your great works:)
The idea of an "unfriendly neighborhood beneath the studio is both awesome and horrifying.
it's also a clever play on "the underbelly of society"
@appalachiabrauchfrau funny enough, some of that said underbelly lives above it rather than in it those kinds of people hide in light rather than darkness but the minute that light is removed and is no longer blinding people to the truth those cowards using that light have their darkness revealed the suits running the network are one of this games examples of such people like that
Having mental health issues which prohibits me enjoying playing games these days this is a great option for me. It’s like watching and or playing a game with a friend. Whilst this might not work for everyone it works for me so thank you for your non-offensive, inclusive, charming (in your own way 😅), video content, it gives me the chance to ‘play’ the games I wouldn’t usually be able to. Again, thank you so much and keep up the awesome work.
Happy to help :)
You should save up for a VR headset
I know the feeling
Not being able to play games because your Brian's doing a 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤯
These vids are great background noise to keep up with the stuff though 😊
@@benneeds_a_name7398 Thanks for responding, nice to know I’m not the only one
Sorry for any ingnorance, but what mental health issues keeps one from playing games? Don't have to explain if you're not comfortable. Just a name would suffice. Thanks
It feels disrespectful to not eat something during an IGP video.
I didn't
Holy shit you too?!
I always eat something when igp uploads something..
Even if he doesn't.
I go back to some of his old videos
I start an igp video when I eat
@@joshstraub6972 helll yeahhh
Yeah I know.
Holy shit I was not expecting a 2-hour long video, looks like I'll be bringing an entire buffet instead of a light snack to eat while watching
I brought popcorn!
The Mystic Maze? The Shadow Sapphire? Cute little homages to The Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal. You wouldn’t think a puppet could be horrifying but the Skeksis gave me nightmares lol.
Also the TV Shows Ricky with friends is Sam and Friends, Wubmump Caverns is Fraggel Rock, The Scribe is the Storyteller, and other movies are Puppet Pirate cove is Muppet Treasure Island, The Puppets Storm Chicago is Muppets Take Manhattan, The Puppets Big Heist is the Great Muppet Caper and Puppet Winter song is Muppet Chistmas Carol.
@@SoopermooseGamingAh nice! I saw some of the muppet ones after commenting, but not all. I love clever nods like these posters.
The message behind this game is verg deep its good to see a game like this with characters that actually help to push the meaning
*SPOILERS:*
So glad you got the best ending because you helped out the main puppets. I got worried you'd miss the scene with Gobblette. But thankfully you didn't. This game is such a gem and definitely will be remembered for a while. The message of the game is beautiful and feels so real.
You know its gonna be a good day when igp release a 2 hour video
ngl i feel like this kind of mentality is the antithesis of the game's moral
1:38:24 his gameplay time on his save just shows how much time he’s spent on this
I can't begin to express my relief hearing Indie pronounce "duct tape" correctly.
Also, it's so good seeing someone *actually* being thorough in this game! So many others have been blasting through it and then complaining they don't have any tokens. Fucking infuriating.
Thank you, IGP.😅
In defense of people who say duck tape, duct tape was ORIGINALLY called duck tape, named for the duck cloth on the adhesive backing.
These days Duck Tape primarily refers to the name brand, but pretty much all duct tape is duck tape.
Yea, I'm aware of the brand's name. But also, a lot of people my age - who should know it's duct tape - are mostly the same people who call it "expresso" and say "supposively."
@@missdire I just think the origin of the the term and the fact that both names are accurate is interesting
As a writer I hope I can achieve making people feel as many distinct and opposing emotions as this game, My friendly neighborhood is an absolute masterpiece.
I recommend The Little Red Writing Book, Eats, Shoots & Leaves, Prose Poetry in Theory and Practice, Writer's Guide to Character Traits and Working with Words. Those are pretty solid foundational intro to creative writing course books that (iirc) you can find for free if you poke around libgen. Good luck in your writing career, hobby or otherwise!
Bro this game. The good ending is just so beautiful. “You turn around and see the raising sun, maybe it hurts a little to look at. But you dont care, because it’s leading you home.” FUCKING BEAUTIFUL
I always love to see games being played twice or thrice by the indie gamers I watch on yt. One from demo, another with early access, and the full release. You can see the progress in each major updates and get to watch their reactions on them, I love it.
The MC regaining what he’d lost in the war while also helping the neighbors is so wholesome.
Kind felt like each time Gordan got to calm one of the puppets, he in turn worked through something of his own. Im pretty sure Gordan was a soldier in the war; lord know the trauma and trials he went though.
you know its a good game when indie has 2 hours of recording time and plays all the endings
delivering some solid gameplay and commentary as ever IGP. probably one of the few super lengthy videos i actually watched all the way through to the end in one sitting. you simply cannot go wrong with the horror genre whenever it comes to what kind of content you upload.
What an insanely good game. And Gordon is the most pure hearted protagonist in years.
Is he though? He becomes a good hearted person in the end, but before that he seems resentful and on the edge to bitterness. (Some of his remarks are rather spitful. Not completely mean, but also not good or pure hearted) Rather seems like he is a struggling person, and in the end you can decide on which side of life he'll end up.
23:23 Surprisingly wholesome moment with the big birb
IGP you're so fucking great. Dropping the whole game in one video AND you made me laugh out loud twice in the first 4 minutes. Making me laugh out loud at all is a tough challenge. That's why you're one of, like, 5 youtubers I have notifications on for out of 250+. Keep on keeping on
I know you get this a lot but I’ve been watching for 5 years and I appreciate your videos and the amount of effort you and your friends put in for us, thanks for the 2 hour video I will make sure to enjoy it!
Awesome, I love long vids, I might just save it for tonight, I love falling asleep to this fun stuff, especially IGP's great content ❤
What an awesome game! I love the little sections of surprisingly deep emotion, and the overall moral of the story. Really makes it stand out in the saturated mascot horror scene and reach a cut above the others
Such a great game. Love the voice actors, the story plot and writing. The dimensions of this game is incredible. Hopefully there another one or something like a prequel. The voice actor that plays Gordon legit sounds like Liam Neeson. Truly enjoyed the game!
This was...genuinely good. I didn't think I'd watch the entire thing through but I did and wow. I'm surprised at both myself and at how well put together the story of this game was. It kept you going, the comic relief felt properly timed, and even being a viewer made me feel like the message was properly given.
What a damn good game. this made me feel every emotion.
2 hours, 17 bags of popcorn, and a few cold beverages...? perfect way to end the day. Love your videos igp.
Your memory on that cardboard button puzzle was absolutely insane! I was just as stunned as you when you got it 1st try 🤯
I took my time to enjoy every minute of this video and in typical IGP fashion, it did not disappoint! This game was fun and got me all in my feelings. Reminded me of why I fell in love with gaming in the first place. Thanks for being our guide, IGP! ♥️
What is it with people named Gordon just accepting their fate as heroes when some shit goes down during their work shift? 😂
Why was my first thought Gordon Ramsay?
@@ianmorse9381 "I can't cook" - Gordon Ramsay
My mind goes to Gordon from Godzilla Final Wars.
@@ZealStarMediaay someone remembers final wars Gordon
Watched this over the course of three days of so, what a ride... not going to lie, the dialogue almost had me in tears a few times. It was beautiful and sad, and i love how they didn't force any fluff or feel good moments, up until the very end where they let you choose. And while i also would have chosen the ''light'' I think choosing the ''dark'' was a perfectly sad ending to a perfectly sad story.
10/10 play-though, loved every moment of it.
It definitely was referencing Vietnam. My great grandfather, though he didn't serve in the Vietnam War (he served in the Korean War), kept tabs in regards to the war in Vietnam. What he witnessed after the veterans returned greatly saddened him and is the reason why he talked me out of enlisting when I turned 18. That and he preferred seeing his grandson in one piece rather than in multiple pieces or missing a piece
You know you've been playing horror games for too long when your first thought to the word chest is someone rooting around in their own internal organs 😆
I just realized something about the health halfway through watching the video, its not the puppets that actually hurt him, well they do but the health only goes down once he falls on the floor, so the puppets probably can't do much blunt attacks towards the player, just throwing them into a hard surface
This is definitely up there with one of my favourite videos of yours. Probably my favorite video of yours honestly. Both your commentary and the game were absolutely fantastic to experience.
I really hope to see you play all those new modes sometime!
This was such a good gameplay, feeling the feelings you had, experiencing it with you. A 2 hour gameplay from IGP to top it off. This was awesome
I'm about an hour in and I've seen puppets suffering but knowing the dogs haven't been fed in a long time filled me with sadness. Idgf about the puppets unless they are dogs apparently
It all makes sense after the interaction with Ricky in the park, and Gordon's reaction to his mentioning of the war...
Gordon's a Vietnam Vet
A horrible experience for everyone involved especially on the battlefield and it wasn't any better for soldiers who came home as instead of being welcomed as heroes like what would have happened before they were instead labeled as martyrs and pariahs although I'd like to see someone keep singing that same tune after they would have experienced the same thing as the soldiers best not to judge someone like that until you've walked a mile in their shoes
Just igp’s personality through this whole video is hilarious and crazy fun to watch. Best way to end the day
IGP: *Shoots dog* "Oh I'm so sorry!"
Dog: *Gets up*
IGP: "AAAGH!" *Shoots dog again*
That meta commentary on how society can become twisted from our entertainment was not expected. That hit hard.
I loved this game so much, and to be honest I think the best way to describe it is “I’d never imagine that a puppet game would make me fell so many different emotions at the same time”
It's been quite a while since I came across your channel. And the first video is just awesome how much I liked it. I've been watching you for about two years, IGP, and your charisma is just fucking awesome. Greetings from Russia to you and all your subscribers !
Keep up the good work, man. I'll start watching the video right now
It's wonderful that the player can take a moment to relate and sympathise with some of the more intimidating puppets. Great video. Game game.
I initially put this on as some background noise while I worked on finishing some drawings, but I ended up paying attention after like 45 minutes. Now I'm super emotional. Good game, I remember when the demo came out and I remember thinking "eh. Looks alright, probably gonna forget about it." and I did. I'm glad you played this game.
Same, his video derailed my comic update. The story was too poignant and the voice acting was too good to shunt the let's play into a collapsed window.
2hrs of IGP my day is getting better and better
35:27 I have watched both Gabs and Jack’s play through and this is the first time I’ve seen THAT happen in the game!
You are the best IGP!
The emotion after watching the video is insane. The thing I hate the worst is the feeling of existential crisis. Really good game, the writing especially.
WE GOT A LONG JOURNEY TODAY BOYS! STRAP IN, GET SOME POPCORN CUS THIS SHIT IS BOUT TO BE GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
24:28
Puppet: I wonder what happens when I scream?
IGP: I wonder what happens when I kick your ass!
3 seconds later: IGP gets his ass kicked by a puppet.
igp bringing a 2 hour video?? igp is such a good youtuber i love your content.
I've been going through some shit, and distractions are all nice and good but this game made me face some of it, it made me really think about some things that while I already had thoughts and opinions on I had no way to voice them myself, and I can already tell this game is going to reach a lot of people, thank you whoever made this game, you've done and said what I never could, or at least did so in a way that could actually reach people, unlike my powerless self. thank you.
So glad this game has come out of demo!
I really love the scary ambience that was added in by whomever edited this video. It fits perfectly and I wish it was in the actual game. I figured that they wanted you to hear the babble of the NPCs but, there's not always characters around, so some areas are dead silent. I think some ominous sounds would have been perfect at certain points of the game.
Loved the demo and actually rewatched it the other day. Really excited for this. Also I think it was a year ago 😂
Dude I love this a 2 hour video let’s go dude your the only TH-camr I’m dedicated to watch all the time
Damn! 2 hours! I know this is gonna be good 😈
Awesome. Can’t wait to watch! Been going through all your original stuff lately! Like 7-10 years ago. Crazy how far you’ve come with editing and all! Oh and if you remember cause I just watched it “I don’t wanna go to the short room”
How tf did I get to the video in 36 seconds-
my grandfather fought in that war he passed away when i was younger but now i thank every veteran i see
I thought it was really touching that Gordon’s Yes ending his moment to be his movie theater dialogue with Gobblette.
1:25:42
“There was this scene of a man riding into this big, blazing sunset, and I remember when it came up it just caught me. I dunno if it was the plot or the music or what, but my heart just suddenly leapt, like… Like I had just heard an old friend calling my name.”
2:06:21
“It’s hard to describe… It’s like your lost in a tunnel, until suddenly a voice calls your name. And you turn around and you see the rising sun. And it’s so bright, maybe it hurts a little to look at. But you don’t care, because it’s leading you home.”
this popped up in my recommended before i actually saw it on my subscription page and the excitement i felt was immeasurable. i was super hoping you'd play this so i'm so happy you did!
I love the dark lore reflected in the fabric and cardboard microcosm of the neighborhood and what it shows about our character!
That high pitched scream always kills me
Who would have thought a Resident Evil clone about living muppets would make you catch the feels.
Proud of you Son, you used some awesome memory skills back there - sincerely your (fake, not actual) Dad
Thank you so much IGP. This was amazing. Honestly became such a deep story that I connected with.
next game theory: how many trash bags does it take to survive a fall from a broadcasting tower
Absolutely loved it!!!, Thanks IGP for this awesome play through. I could literally watch you for hours n enjoy the longer vids.. cheers mate
This is marvellous I'm soo excited when I got the notification like a new video hell yah let me grab my drinks and enjoy
Shoots dog with shotgun… “I’m so sorry” *dog gets right back up. Immediately shoots it again* 😂😂😂😂
LOL "that isn't how you close a door FRIEND" so many emotions, agreed. This was well done! Edits were great and the game itself was definitely an experience. :)
This is what we needed! @IGP
I really like how the puppets are treated as pretty normal in the game’s world, similar to the Muppets no one is confused or questions their existence.
I understand tall guy problems. I once saw a guy at the grocery store that had to be close to 8 feet tall trying to push a shopping cart around. He had to basically bend over to reach the handle.
Holly sh*t I didn’t recognize it at first but it’s this game!! And 2 hours of it f*ck yeah IGP coming in clutch!
Oh my god dude. This game, Is actually insane. Igp your mazeworking and puzzle solving was insane, yeah the picture puzzle that required the first five or 6 of the pages in order, you had that part perfect, good job. But again AAA game dude, felt everything, yet still numb the pain. Good day. .
love watching you IGP!! keep it up! you help me through hard times! thank you for everything!! another good video!
i sat through the while video/movie without getting up once, and like always, i didnt regret it. i love your content so much, keep up the great work man.
I think this game is something worth playing...and is extremely deep, when you put it in the historical context of American society in the period from the 1960's-today. It's effectively a collective psychoanalysis. What Ricky said while Gordon was on the Tower, the final address from the show's creator, the little bits of reading on the so-called "Northern War" (just substitute Vietnam War), the dark turn storytelling (for both children and adults) took during the 80's and 90's...we embraced it because we thought it was more "real" than the kinder alternatives. I did the same thing, in my youth. But...I can't argue with Ricky. The rich were awful eager for us to embrace this dark turn, at least after a fashion. Nobody tries to fix anything if they're convinced there's no point in doing so.
It's true the rich pushed mindless optimism, and still does. But it pushes mindless pessmism just as hard.
Reflect on your own life; how many of us have been Gordon's pushing away the Ricky's of the world? I certainly am guilty of it. And...it fills me with great shame.
It's crazy how they just let you leave. Common sense is not all too common in games.
Bert: Hey Ernie..do you like ice cream?
Ernie: Sure Bert.
Bert: What's your favorite?
Ernie: Sherbet.
I thought it was creepy but it also sad that the puppets were just abandoned but I love it man.
the fact you need to wait for them to flail back up to head shot them again is an under rated mechanic tbh.
The fact that the gun loads 26 "rounds" at a time, one for every letter of the alphabet, is a nice detail. And it fires them in order. If it didn't, it would be unplayable. 😂
Holy shit, the contrast between those endings. Some of the writing in this (and the voice acting) was just beautiful. The music, too! I had seen the demo but didn't know the story was gonna be like this. They nailed everything about this.
Dunno why but IGP trying to make the bird feel better is so wholesome. 23:12
When I feel rubbish, I can always depend on your long form videos to distract me from my thoughts dude
