"SUFFERING: the ties that bind" is one of the best horror franchises with a silent protagonist. This is before "dead space," so yeah, it was gnarly and was creepy AF. This games moral system was one of the best as well. And the 3 endings was a nice touch. Made for great replay value and even dialogue choices. It's crazy to think a game like this was pre next-gen console.
If I remember correctly, if you play both the first and second game with good karma Blackmore says that when he sent the order to attack Torque's family it was to scare them to stay away from him but his goons misunderstood the order. it even has a flashback where Blackmore talks to the Head goon and scolds him for killing them. if nothing else it is a neat touch that there's some variation if you decide to stick with good, neutral, bad karma or mix them up.
I was brought to this video after looking at the Wikipedia page for games that take place in Maryland. Fallout 3 and Blair Witch weren't good enough answers after so many years for me I guess lmao.
Me too! I remember you could play the demo if you owned a copy of Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks. It was added as unlockable content after beating the game. Great memories!
If you had the same memory card for both games, the 2nd game picks up right after your choices in the first game. Example, if youre evil the game starts off with Jordans foot soldiers finding you passed out on the island still
Remakes would be awesome as a combo for sure but I would honestly just take a straight remaster of the pair together! Would snap that up instantly on my PS5 👍🏻 third person action/survival horror is my absolute favourite genre 😁
it would be great to decide on the plot and ending, I think it’s a good idea to move the plot to the late 1970s or early 80s, since the whole game is in such an environment
They could easily revive this series with the premise they have. With the monsters being tied to specific locations where certain evil things happened. They could make games based on places all over the world. I don’t know if the games would be the same without torque though
@@JohnYourubethis game vibe and the whole aspect of it is great , the only bad thing is the gameplay , if the game had more survival horror type structure it will by far superior
For the last 2 weeks, I’ve been getting home from work around 11 and binging all your videos. I’m firmly convinced you’re a comedic genius. Please don’t stop making these. Please.
The gameplay took some getting used to but tonally this is an absolute masterpiece, it is genuinely unnerving and disturbing almost the entire way through.
These two games got me back into gaming as an adult. Just picked them up for a £1 each based off their covers. Loved them. After that it was max Payne and halo. That was me fully into gaming from that point on
just found your channel, I remember playing these 2 games as a kid and loving them both for different reasons, I liked The Suffering because it made me second guess everything while going through the spooky-ass prison and when I played Ties That Bind I was getting more into action games so it bridged that gap between Action and Horror for me that was new after just playing Resident Evil 4, and your humor is right up my alley, subbed :D
Thanks dude, yeah that pretty much sums them up - two totally different feelings but refreshing to play back to back. I’ve never played a Resident Evil game but I need to for this Halloween
Dude, I just found you outta nowhere. The Timesplitters memes and sounds you use are just top tier. Literally, you are like the only person to use such blissful sound waves that penetrate my inner canals. And so many of these games I also share a fond memory of, and joy from being literally stuck with a PS2 for the majority of my life gaming. The editing is top notch, and it's just what i'm trying to achieve with my own style, you sir have gained a sub, and you need some more traction as well lol.
Thankyou dude, i’m glad my sound fx are working as i’d always hoped haha. That’s pretty much the main reason I made this channel, to remember all the great times we might’ve forgotten growin up! I appreciate it man, good luck on your journey 🫡
Fun fact: Dr. Killjoy's appearance and personality are modeled primarily on legendary horror actor Vincent Price, who played both monsters and mad scientists throughout his career and was easily recognized by his mellifluous Mid-Atlantic accent and a pencil mustache. Dr. Killjoy was voiced by John Armstrong. Cheers 🍻😂
always thought the suffering games were terribly underrated. great horror games. have you ever played the punisher game ? the atmosphere and gameplay of this kinda reminded me of it.
Found your channel a couple days ago via your video on the first Suffering which was a favourite of mine as a kid! Easiest sub in ages dude! Love your content! Binged almost all your videos as I haven’t been able to sleep lately due to severe illness 😞 now this pops up as I’m literally laying in a hospital bed! Thanks for covering this too! 👍🏻 and for cheering me up a bit 😊
Thankyou so much dude! I’m happy I made a vid on that 😄 Wishin you the best man, just gotta keep hopes high and laugh as much as possible. And I’m glad I can make it a lil easier for ya 🤘❤️
This was in my recommended and I gotta say I'm pretty impressed. You have a unique but relatable(lol gross I hate that word these days) style to your videos in the presentation and humor. You're doing something that TONS of people do on here, i.e., "yooo check out this old obscure game", but doing it in a way I haven't seen before. I'll definitely be following along to see what else ya got! 👍 Edit: I wanted to add that one thing I really appreciated was your sound mixing/ vocal register ... You were very easy to hear and understand without shouting like a lot of tubers, and you found a good happy medium instead of speaking a mile a minute or painfully slow
I appreciate you for pointing that out man thankyou! It took me a little bit to find the right speed and vocal mix but i’m glad it’s goin in the right direction :)
@@EvanHelblingYT the effort definitely shows, I actually just reopened TH-cam to watch a couple more vids I added to my playlist during halftime of the Mizzou game so great timing to find out you saw and liked my comment 😂 diving into Red Dead Revolver right now (played it and loved it back when it was new but forgot alot about it)
Hey man, just wanted to say that I love your content, your jokes are pretty funny as well and you're very underrated. You're kinda like NakeyJakey except more consistent. Love your stuff man! Keep it up!
I watched my brother play the original suffering on xbox when I was 8 years old and it scared me shitless. I was always too scared to play it myself and would only watch him play. With that being said that all changed now 20 years later and I just beat the suffering with good karma ending. I couldn’t get enough so I just ordered the ties that bind and can’t wait to play it. This game needs a reboot of some kind. I need more! The suffering is a masterpiece. True hidden gem
I have AMAZING ideas for more Suffering games, I would definitely purchase the rights to this game if I could. I grew up playing these games and watched horror movies even before I was in Kindergarten. I'm looking forward to continue to make my presence known on this platform and possible if God allows it I can make this dream come true.
So youtube blessed me with your videos and they're fantastic. 2 things, 1. would love a couple longer videos and 2. Ive binged your entire channel so gonna need you to get some more out. Thanks!
Damn i miss The Suffering, & Ties that bind. I just want these games to make a comeback so very bad, Warner bro entertainment owns the rights after Midway tanked, (folks behind Shadow of Mordor, Mortal Kombat etc) these games on current hardware with a competent team behind it could realize this twisted world established years ago even better. Lol ps i suggest Psi Ops the mindgate conspiracy if you like Midway games 👉 i love the channel btw man i subbed the other day ❤ you bring these old ps2 gems & more back into the light in a wholly entertaining way & I'm here for it.
You hit it right on the head man. I only ever knew Midway for Mortal Kombat, but now i’ve learned they had some amazing concepts we’ll probly never see again. I’ll have to look into that one, I appreciate that a lot man thankyou!!
The game definitely needs a remake with real locations around the actual Baltimore City area just as similar to Sony's Spider-Man games of actual New York City. I totally understand that video game companies have a hard time getting the rights to replicate people, and places but would be cool to play this classic game with the remake hd version and having the actual Baltimore MD with such locations like downtown, inner harbor, North Ave, and still on...just wishful thinking!
I remember in middle school when I played them both and my little brother watched me play. He did that a lot because he was usually too scared to play them himself (never admitted it though, but he’d say he had more fun watching me play lol). But I’d try to ham it up for him and make it ridiculous kinda like Pewdiepie playing things like Amnesia, but this was before youtube was a thing. It was like I was a let’s player just for my little bro lol. He loved it. He also watched me play Doom 3, The Silent Hill games, and Dino Crisis. Anyways I loved these games. I bought them from a locally owned game shop in the town I grew up in and the guy there knew I was a horror fan, and he told me about them and told me I should give it a try and mentioned it wasn’t as popular as other horror games but it’s still great. He even gave me a deal to buy the 1st game and get the second one half off because I was a regular customer lol. I’ve probably played them both like 3 more more times, but it’s been years since so I might buy them again. It’s crazy to think I have a lot of good/fun memories with my little brother from a fucked up/ gory game like this lol. It’s definitely a bit corny now looking at it as an adult but that was the charm of those games at that time period. I still love them.
Fab video as always, Evan! And wow your subscriber count is finally taking off! About time!! (ps if you say that my cat is cute in the next video It'll make my year
Torque has a rage but that’s not the only reason he blacks out. He got like a split personality disorder. He’s mentally Ill, it’s not his fault entirely for being a bad person. Especially if you make all the good decisions in the games.
I can agree to that. Just from an outside view, he as a whole would be considered evil by many even though he’s the hero of the game. Makes it a much sadder story
I absolutely loved these games. The suffering is the first survival horror game i ever played. I wish they would remake these games....heard the rights were tied up or sumn...idk
@EvanHelblingYT what's the sound effect at 1:12 when Blackmore hits Torque? And the sound effect at 4:43-4:44 ? Please tell me, I gotta know! Also this game from my childhood was one of the scariest, and I loved playing it. Man I miss the 2000s
Torque isn't a "monster magnet" he's mentally unstable (and unwittingly) an extremely powerful psychic, that's how he unknowingly brings these monsters into reality. They're manifestations of negative emotions, fears and dark memories from the past. One of the new monsters is even an urban legend that you summoned from the sunconscious minds of the cities citizens. You only learn that about his back story by reading notes you find in the second game and it's only hinted at, Torque is basically an insane psychic who creates physical manifestations of the negativity coming from people in the environments around him and from his own damaged psyche itself. It's a great concept actually. I have absolutely no idea where they would have gone with a third game but this series is definitely one that deserves a revival.
Absolutely loving your content. Watching you play through some of these older 'darker' games makes me want to suggest you do a playthrough of Darkwatch in a future video lol.
Oh for sure. Considering you just did The Suffering Sequel, and Red Dead Revolver most recently it's almost a little TOO fitting, it's got zombies, cowboys and Good/Bad guy powers depending on your choices. Definitely a wild ride@@EvanHelblingYT
So. There were 3 endings if I remember from the video I watched half awake this morning... a good, bad, and middle. The good ending being that you were framed for killing your family and the bad one where you get caught escaping and sent back to jail. The bad one was the cannon ending??? That's wild. O.o
A year late but as a fellow manic Timesplitters fan, I looooooove hearing all the old sounds as bits. I thought I should add that the reason the game feels so off was that it was rushed along with lots of cut stuff. Sounds like normal issues.......except the fact that Midway got the insane idea to try and make the series an annual release, Ties That Bind the first and last game due to that misguided step. The main devs actually wanted to wait for the then next gen systems of PS3 and 360 to make this game on to really push it to it's visual limits and give it proper love.
"SUFFERING: the ties that bind" is one of the best horror franchises with a silent protagonist. This is before "dead space," so yeah, it was gnarly and was creepy AF. This games moral system was one of the best as well. And the 3 endings was a nice touch. Made for great replay value and even dialogue choices. It's crazy to think a game like this was pre next-gen console.
The monster design and lore were some of the best I've seen in video game history. They give Hellraiser vibes.
Torque wasn't silent though, he spoke in the beginning and in flashbacks lol
@@corvidconfidential8826 not the first game
Definitely not the best. The story was flimsy and it definitely didnt need a sequel
@schibleh531 are you brainless? The lore was very non consistent. Thats why the game failed. Brainlets
If I remember correctly, if you play both the first and second game with good karma Blackmore says that when he sent the order to attack Torque's family it was to scare them to stay away from him but his goons misunderstood the order. it even has a flashback where Blackmore talks to the Head goon and scolds him for killing them. if nothing else it is a neat touch that there's some variation if you decide to stick with good, neutral, bad karma or mix them up.
Yeah I learned later since I started the game neutral, my good ending wasn’t the “full” good ending. Really cool concept
That doesnt make sense if blackmore is torque so its like torque set torque up like what lmao yea this game defint spchf
@@spikytoasterI guess they didn’t make multiple endings unless you went dark dark, neutral neutral, good good.
My only complaint about the good path is how the hell did Baltimore PD not realize the Torque-Blckmore connection yet the Foundation knew
@@HrvojeGrahovac I assume because Jordan knows ? Blackmore hooks up with her in the full evil ending
Being a Baltimore native, I loved having an apocalyptic horror setting like this brought to life for my home town.
Wasnt the wire also the same?
I was brought to this video after looking at the Wikipedia page for games that take place in Maryland. Fallout 3 and Blair Witch weren't good enough answers after so many years for me I guess lmao.
Please dont leave us again
Not now not ever!!
I remember having the demo for this on the OG Xbox, it was the theater level and I couldn't tell you how many times I replayed that demo as a kid.
They made a good choice with that level. Also can’t believe I never had these demo disks, I gotta look for some now haha
Me too! I remember you could play the demo if you owned a copy of Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks. It was added as unlockable content after beating the game. Great memories!
Same here!@@juancamilolargogonzalez7488
Hell yeah, finally got my hands on a copy last year and beat the game
Same
If you had the same memory card for both games, the 2nd game picks up right after your choices in the first game.
Example, if youre evil the game starts off with Jordans foot soldiers finding you passed out on the island still
Yep so I played the first one on my PS2, then on my PC for the second so I just had to imagine
2:08 "We return to the present, like Santa if he made an incorrect delivery."
You never disappoint Evan
I’m relieved it landed haha. I appreciate u as always man thankyou🤘
Bars
It would be nice if both of the suffering games gets a remake one day.
It would be so cool to have both of them games merged into one cohesive horror/action experience, like having the whole story all in one go
Remakes would be awesome as a combo for sure but I would honestly just take a straight remaster of the pair together! Would snap that up instantly on my PS5 👍🏻 third person action/survival horror is my absolute favourite genre 😁
it would be great to decide on the plot and ending, I think it’s a good idea to move the plot to the late 1970s or early 80s, since the whole game is in such an environment
They would be the BETTER THEN RE REMAKE SERIES(most of em)
nice joke @@hassangames9134
This game def needs a revival!

Agreeed! I loved both games as a kid. Still one of my favorite shooters.
@@edybocman76nah action horror works perfectly for this
Lol ask komani
I never knew they made a sequel, thanks to you I now need to find it and re-live one of the most traumatic games of my childhood
Hahaha perfect, I wish you the best of luck on your journey
i was like awsome they did a fight club reveal near the end of the game
It was a demo game in mortal Kombat shaolin monks that’s how I knew
Wish you luck , wasnt that good
Neither did I. lol
The whole story and twist near the end reminded me of Manhunt 2. Also, the atmosphere and world of the suffering gives off a manhunt vibe
I’ve been hearin a lot about Manhunt, gotta check it out
@TitusPrime1995 I totally that when playing this franchise. It’s like a tame or lighter version of manhunt.
Rest In peace Michael Clarke Duncan and Kevin Conroy! I literally forgot Batman was in this game.
One of the best horror game I played when I was a teen. I finished it several times. I love this game. Wishing for a remake. 🎉
I played both the suffering & the suffering ties that bind as a child 14/15 great games I’m 28 now and i have not forgotten this amazing game ❤️
I am hoping for a remaster of this masterpiece.
I friggin’ loved The Ties That Bind when it came out. It had some great replay value.

always nice to see more and more people talk about the series. Loved the first one as a kid
Trying them out was one of my best decisions of late
Damn, this video was entertaining as hell. Good stuff
Thanks man! I love your channel btw, binged the Fallout series a few months ago. Awesome work 🤘
@@EvanHelblingYT Appreciate that my man!

I appreciate that a lot man, thankyou!
Another certified banger, can't wait for the algorithm to pick you up
I appreciate ya man, hopes are up!
This was a great series I really enjoyed playing it back in the day! This really deserves a remaster and they could fit both games in one now.
The way you put yourself into the shot is brilliant. I never knew this game existed, thanks and well done.
Glad to know I accomplished both goals here, thankyou!
Watched all your videos in a matter of 15 hours since finding your channel . This is gold mine of content.
Thankyou so much for that my man 🤘 appreciate ya
Another banger! Played these games so much growing up… which probably means my parents didn’t pay enough attention to me… thanks for the dope content!
Thankyou my dude! Haha my parents only knew of GTA being a bad game for kids, so thats how I did it
Dude, I just found you outta nowhere. The Timesplitters memes and sounds you use are just top tier. Literally, you are like the only person to use such blissful sound waves that penetrate my inner canals.
And so many of these games I also share a fond memory of, and joy from being literally stuck with a PS2 for the majority of my life gaming.
The editing is top notch, and it's just what i'm trying to achieve with my own style, you sir have gained a sub, and you need some more traction as well lol.

The suffering ties that bind was so well polished and put together a year later after the suffering just my opinion love both games❤
I watched my brother play the original suffering on xbox when I was 8 years old and it scared me shitless. I was always too scared to play it myself and would only watch him play. With that being said that all changed now 20 years later and I just beat the suffering with good karma ending. I couldn’t get enough so I just ordered the ties that bind and can’t wait to play it.

2k more subs in 2 days good job man congrats!
The weeks been good to me, thankyou man!
We need a sequel of some form. Im a phone game kind of guy nowadays but when those two games came out I played them all the time.
I'm new to your channel, but I adore it! Love the editing, the dumb jokes, and the bubbly energy you bring to the screen. ❤
Thankyou so much for that description! I’m glad to have ya ❤️
Just came across your channel and wanted to say your content is impressive! Keep putting out stuff and I could see you getting big for sure
Thankyou dude! I’m lookin forward to makin more and seeing where I go ✌🏻
Both of the suffering games are true masterpieces but they where soo ahead of thier time i wish if they can remaster them both or do a new game
New favorite OG game reviewer been looking for more game reviews of that OG games
Thankyou man, glad to have ya
I have AMAZING ideas for more Suffering games, I would definitely purchase the rights to this game if I could.

Happy you stumbled by ❤️❤️

Great video and I'm excited to play this after the first game.

I appreciate that, thankyou brother 🤘🤘
Replayed both The Suffering and ties that bind last summer on original xbox & had an absolute blast!
I played this game so much i beat it about 38 times when i had it on xbox always found it fun.
I started uncontrollably laugging at 7:35 when that jaunty piano music came on. Shits hilarious. Also the smuckers factory got me.
Damn i miss The Suffering, & Ties that bind. I just want these games to make a comeback so very bad, Warner bro entertainment owns the rights after Midway tanked, (folks behind Shadow of Mordor, Mortal Kombat etc) these games on current hardware with a competent team behind it could realize this twisted world established years ago even better.

This game series should get a reboot .. the first one was actually scary/creepy and the sequel was also good with improved graphics and gameplay
Forsure. First one was very silent hill like, second had linear action shooter feel
Torque has a rage but that’s not the only reason he blacks out. He got like a split personality disorder. He’s mentally Ill, it’s not his fault entirely for being a bad person. Especially if you make all the good decisions in the games.
I can agree to that. Just from an outside view, he as a whole would be considered evil by many even though he’s the hero of the game. Makes it a much sadder story
I absolutely loved these games. The suffering is the first survival horror game i ever played. I wish they would remake these games....heard the rights were tied up or sumn...idk
Those rights are tied and binded I guess
@@EvanHelblingYT lol...true!
Just randomly thought of this game and it lead me to this video. Thank you for this video and review of it.
''Self inflicted fall damage''💀
the prisoner of azkaban music will always be W. hope it gets a video down the line cuz it was my favorite ps2 game.
Harry Potter has some the best original music I love it. I will definitely get to Azkaban at some point :)
@EvanHelblingYT what's the sound effect at 1:12 when Blackmore hits Torque? And the sound effect at 4:43-4:44 ? Please tell me, I gotta know! Also this game from my childhood was one of the scariest, and I loved playing it. Man I miss the 2000s
Ohhh that’s the Tony Hawk Special Trick sound effect haha. One of the greatest things ever
Midway is done so we can never have this game remake😢
Unless Warner Bros decide to revive the series
Man I loved playing Suffering back in the day. Might do it again this winter🤘
Loved these games back in the day
I wish they would remastered them both and release them for modern systems
These with smoother gunplay would be so good today
Torque isn't a "monster magnet" he's mentally unstable (and unwittingly) an extremely powerful psychic, that's how he unknowingly brings these monsters into reality. They're manifestations of negative emotions, fears and dark memories from the past. One of the new monsters is even an urban legend that you summoned from the sunconscious minds of the cities citizens.
You only learn that about his back story by reading notes you find in the second game and it's only hinted at, Torque is basically an insane psychic who creates physical manifestations of the negativity coming from people in the environments around him and from his own damaged psyche itself. It's a great concept actually.
I have absolutely no idea where they would have gone with a third game but this series is definitely one that deserves a revival.
You. FOR SURE. Killed that guard. RIPPO POTTOMUS
No no no stop I swear I didn’t!
Love the videos! I miss old PS2 games and Timesplitters is my Favorite game. Been bingeing your content!
Thankyou man!
This game gives a good depiction of life in modern Baltimore.
Absolutely loving your content. Watching you play through some of these older 'darker' games makes me want to suggest you do a playthrough of Darkwatch in a future video lol.
Thankyou! Darkwatch sounds like somethin I gotta look into
Oh for sure. Considering you just did The Suffering Sequel, and Red Dead Revolver most recently it's almost a little TOO fitting, it's got zombies, cowboys and Good/Bad guy powers depending on your choices. Definitely a wild ride@@EvanHelblingYT
Bro this is just one giant timesplitters level 😂
I like that 😎
U make really good video game content videos. Thank you for ur work
Thanks a lot man! You’re welcome 🤘
Great video You have so much potential
So. There were 3 endings if I remember from the video I watched half awake this morning... a good, bad, and middle. The good ending being that you were framed for killing your family and the bad one where you get caught escaping and sent back to jail. The bad one was the cannon ending??? That's wild. O.o
A year late but as a fellow manic Timesplitters fan, I looooooove hearing all the old sounds as bits. I thought I should add that the reason the game feels so off was that it was rushed along with lots of cut stuff. Sounds like normal issues.......except the fact that Midway got the insane idea to try and make the series an annual release, Ties That Bind the first and last game due to that misguided step. The main devs actually wanted to wait for the then next gen systems of PS3 and 360 to make this game on to really push it to it's visual limits and give it proper love.
