I feel too many people miss the point that this is about two people getting caught up in the isolation and condemn the mystery for not being an actual huge conspiracy. It's two people who're lost in the moment, in their own heads, caught up in the IDEA of a huge conspiracy. But then it's just a grieving man who can't let go of his son, and some people researching bears. People were PISSED there wasn't a government conspiracy.
Honestly, it's a breath of fresh air seeing that the government had nothing to do with what happens (aside from abandoning a whole lot of equipment...which is accurate). Coincidences and happenstance, happens. It's almost like conspiracy theorists in real life who blame everything on the government or aliens (easy targets, sometimes they're actually right. Sometimes, it's nonsense)
I understand why they feel upset that the story wasn't what they wanted, but sometimes you find a game and you realize it's actually not the type of genre you like. I've seen people complain Night In The Woods is a cosmic horror, without realizing that they actually just want to play a different game.
In a way, it also explains the whole "romance" route with Delilah. If the player chooses to lean in on Delilah's flirting, at the end of the game, she still tells Henry that he needs to go back to his wife and forget about the summer. This adds to the idea that most of this game was about them living in their own fantasy and trying to forget about their real problems at home. I remember so many people were upset over the game about how Henry had to let go of Delilah and never got to meet her. Ben was one of the first players I've seen actually bring up how wrong it was for Delilah to flirt with Henry.
In my playthrough, I roleplayed as Henry trying to start a fling with Delilah to escape his problems. The end is heartbreaking, as Delilah tells you your summer meant nothing and you need to go back to your wife. The whole mystery is two people trying to live an exciting fantasy but eventually... they have to go back to reality.
i honestly had the same "i remember this being big but don't remember anything about it" feeling before watching a streamer replay it a few months ago. i have no idea how i could ever forget any of that again. i lost my grandmother to alzheimer's when she was in her early 50s, i was 8. this story hit harder the second time through
I remember liking this game for the visuals, the interractive "make your own story experience" elememts, as well as how not only your character being unreliable but also the person who you would expect to be the knowledgeable mentor is revealed to not really know what they are doing either. This combined with the somber story and plot reveals and isolation made for a very introspective game. I didnt really understand why so many people didnt like the game (except perhaps those who didnt like the simplistic gameplay experience, which fair enough i guess), until i watched some modern streamers recently and realized that you can just, miss certain parts that I consider "essential" to the story, if you just refuse to explore or talk to Deliah and rush to the end of the game. I was suddenly like "oh, if this is the experience many people get no wonder they dont like this game."
I find it fascinating how consistent Delilah is as a character for the throughline of the story, despite being kinda terrible. She clearly has a very huge problem with confrontation. Her partner leaves her? She doesn't want negative attention so she lies that it's his fault. Two girls go missing? She doesn't want the cops on her so she lies again. And her need to figure out why she's being tracked and her panic shows clearly that she cannot handle facing the music. But irs interesting because shes fhe one who tells Henry to do so, in the end, despite not being an to do it herself. I think its masterful writing even if i wanted to throw a shoe at her sometimes
The fact that you cover a lot of nostalgic games in the 2010s makes me miss that era of short but sweet indie classics that have a really heartfelt story to tell. I recently stumbled upon "Until Then" and it really scratched that itch for me and I hope you'd play it someday because more people really need to know about it
I had always heard about this game a whole lot but was like "what even is going on??" because I never watched any sort of gameplay of it. This honestly cleared up a lot and all I had to say was like "Damn. That was actually pretty wild." Goodluck on your final semester btw man
The final goodbye at the end really tugs at my heartstrings. Poor people just needed a break and someone to talk to. Also good luck with school, hope everything goes smoothly!
30:13 if you’re be doing anything dangerous, you have absolute responsibility of making sure they do things correctly and properly especially when it’s something that you will not live to make that same mistake again
Yeah I don't think Ned is a murderer but he had legal responsibility to keep Brian safe and didn't do enough. And failed him again after for abandoning the body. And he stalked two people and committed actual crimes later (at least I imagine tapping the radios is a crime), so I don't blame Delilah for being angry at him and blaming him. He's not a good person at the end of the day
It's been 8 years since this game came out. I'm thinking it was 2015 but it was 2016, when my life went down the drain. Honestly I still have a lot of nostalgia for this game
I both love and hate that the protagonist never figures out what sort of person Delilah really is. Or perhaps, he does realize it, but never lets it slip. That's what stuck with me the most.
Yeah, their publisher was a tiny little Portland software company with a venerable history of doing elaborate one-off "merch" runs like that. (I have a couple of their shirts!)
Gonna say at the start, you're not the main character in this. You can make choices, but they make sense to that character. Henry has issues, so of couse he makes bad choices. also "get it on sale, its 20 dollars for only 4 hours" like bruh, that's a damn good price for a good story imo
the way he says "Me, personally, i'd wait for it to be on sale" and then goes onto praise the game to hell and back for pretty much all its aspects was obviously so weird to me. like i dunno, you barely noticed any flaws, the only one you mentioned was some glitches. how is that game not deserving of at least more than the "get it on sale" price?
You got these finals man, don't overhype them! Teachers and Professors nowadays usually hate stuff like that so it shouldn't be too rough, sending you brain power o7
Rip discord. I didnt write anything since i joined, except when i got the news it ends, but the few moments were a delight. It closed right as i was about to send "Goodbye ya'll". Ok now i should actually watch the video.
man. i haven't watched a proper full playthrough of this game nor have i played it myself, but i know it's a beautiful game. this video's the first i've seen of certain points and angles of the game, both narratively in perspectives and specific parts of the gameplay (somehow this is the first time i've seen henry tossing the backpack into the pickup truck at the start, which is something that seems so simple), and i think i'd like to add my own thoughts and ideas based off of the things i do know. this game has grief and escapism written all over it. ned grieving brian, yes, but also henry grieving over his wife due to her crumbling condition and delilah grieving her relationship after she didn't come home and left. and then you have all of them escaping their realities (burying his son, seeing his wife forget more and more, going back to a home filled only with her own mistakes) by staying in shoshone national forest. and while they're there, they have a great time! delilah and henry have a person they can open up to, there's a beautiful forest awaiting them all, and there's no time to think about the life they've left behind because there's a mystery afoot! except... at the end of the day, there isn't truly escaping their reality they came here to hide from. the forest burns. the summer ends. they have to go home. ...i dunno, i think i've run out of words now. thank you for making this video, and good luck with finals!
Good luck with school! And I loved your video covering Firewatch. I agree with what was said, your version of Henry and D was much more enjoyable than even my own playthrough.
amazing video! i love this game a lot becaue of its aesthetics and like, very real character writing so I screamed when I saw you covered it. you always have a unique take on games and i hope your finals go over well so you can keep creating without worry!
There is definitely a difference in feeling between watching someone play a game and playing it yourself. The act of involving yourself directly already creates this sense of investment that you cant really get away from, and what you experience becomes wholly your own. It would be *you* hiding from the killer, *you* saving the world, *you* making all of those close friends, and so on. It is one of those human things that helps make each experience fresh, and why people who come into a fandom tangentially can still get a "true experience" even after knowing roughly what goes down.
I vibe with the ability to just wander. I think more games should let us wander. And I love the mystery too. Sometimes things just happen and that's all there is to it.
I didnt get to spend much time in the bentobox but it was nice while it lasted, been a big fan since your first video and cant wait to see more :) good luck with everything you do Ben >:)
hey ben! i found ur ytb acc via this video and ive been binge watching ALL of ur videos for the past 3 days now and i rlly love how u do storytelling! idunno if u know the game another code but if u could make a video about it, it would be amazing! the game is not THAT popular which is rlly sad, its an incredible game that i spent wayyyy too much time playing when i was younger. cant wait for the next video!!
I don't think I'll ever forget about Firewatch. Even many years after finishing it, I still think about it from time to time. It still has my 2 favourite characters out of any game I've played, the only thing that comes close is the main cast of Kentucky Route Zero. Henry and Delilah just feel so real as characters, plus the chemistry between them just makes it so fucking endearing, all the while always having a lingering feeling of melancholy in the air. I know there's many people who have a lot of issues with the game, mainly with the ending and the mystery aspect, but I personally think both were executed perfectly, in general I think Firewatch is the closest thing to a "perfect" game, that I personally have experienced.
lol we're both graduating at the same time. also what I could remember from this game when it was popular, there was a theory video about how Delilah never existed or something cause you dont see other people other than their silhouettes, which is an interesting artistic choice. Other that that, this is a really bittersweet game ^^
I remember that this game made me cry rather hard upon finding the kids body. It's the bigest thing about this game that I remember. That dead kid hidden in the caves. I always forget about the fake out goverment conspiracy, but the tragedy of that kids demise always stays in my mind. Also, think of me as a bad person, but I always wanted Henry and Delilah to get together in the end xD They both lived low key misserable lives, full of comited mistakes and fates crule tricks. I felt they deserve a new start. Delilah alredy lost her boyfriend completely. And Henry is actively loosing his wive, watching her dimentia chip away at her day by day... I find it to crule to let them seperate at the end. I want them to be happy, even if that means "running away" one last time.
I remember watching Markiplier play this back in the day. At the time, I was upset Henry never got with Delilah. But now I'm glad he didn't. I was young and stupid and didn't think about the consequences and what it would have meant for Henry to effectively abandon his sick wife to get together with this other woman. I still wish they met at least once, but Henry needed to go back to his wife. He needed to confront his feelings and his memories. Who knows, that's what headcanons are for. Maybe he did get in touch with Delilah later and they started a (healthy) friendship.
But why does he need to do that? The black-and-white moral expectations around this cause so, so much completely unnecessary misery for surviving partners. It's impossible for me to look at the end of my uncle's life and not think that he could have lived at least another ten years if he wasn't so deeply lonely and unhappy for the previous two decades. You can, in fact, form healthy new romantic connections without leaving your spouse completely isolated, but only if people around you aren't completely hung up on the theoretical virtue of monogamy over the practical realities of early-onset dementia.
until she leaves him due of dementia taking its hand over her, of course she won't even remember his name, won't tell him i love you the moral in this game is so grey, nobody is a saint, everyone has problems on their back and in the end: they should look into face of reality and just move on@@genericname2747
i dont know if i can watch this video after hearing you say "sigma rizz" i think im just gonna have to explode myself up all i remembered was the crazy guy in the woods that followed you around
There's actually a TH-camr named Captainsauce who basically did a theroy video on this game. If you like Fire Watch, i would highly recommend checking it out
I really love this game, but those glitches... Those never happened to me, not even when I was playing on XBOX Gamepass, on cloud, on a pirated app(on an Android TV) with the game constantly stopping between scenes due to my poor internet. What a weird glitch
There was always one thing that bothered me about the ending. Why was all the equipment still there? It was just left out in the woods, unattended? I know it needed to be there to keep the narrative the way they wanted it, but what was the in-universe reason for the government just abandoning hundreds, maybe even thousands, of dollars in equipment in a park? Still attached to power, at that. And it can't be a case of "they still used it" because then Ned's notes wouldn't have been left there. If they only used it seasonally, some of the larger equipment might have been left. However, there was plenty of portable equipment left too. For me, that's why the "It was just one guy!" ending felt so bad. I get wanting to have a twist in your story, and I don't even think the "It's a conspiracy!" ending would have been good, but ffs don't leave open a massive plot hole. (Henry's comments about notes related to Julia also fit into this category. We as the player see no notes about Julia that weren't already discussed, but somehow Henry does? And how would Ned even have found that information out? It doesn't make sense unless Henry was, quite literally, experiencing delusions.)

My problem is the payoff since we don’t confront him or have this encounter wanting to make Henry meet his wife.

The end is heartbreaking, as Delilah tells you your summer meant nothing and you need to go back to your wife.

I absolutely love the cardboard cutout in the background of the thumbnail making people think this may be a horror game
With Forrest Burns, it might as well be.

It's impossible for me to look at the end of my uncle's life and not think that he could have lived at least another ten years if he wasn't so deeply lonely and unhappy for the previous two decades.

until she leaves him due of dementia taking its hand over her, of course
she won't even remember his name, won't tell him i love you
the moral in this game is so grey, nobody is a saint, everyone has problems on their back
and in the end: they should look into face of reality and just move on@@genericname2747
i dont know if i can watch this video after hearing you say "sigma rizz" i think im just gonna have to explode myself up
all i remembered was the crazy guy in the woods that followed you around
me when I look at fire for an extended period
There's actually a TH-camr named Captainsauce who basically did a theroy video on this game. If you like Fire Watch, i would highly recommend checking it out
The only fire I'm watching is hit youtuber Ben Again
I really love this game, but those glitches...
Those never happened to me, not even when I was playing on XBOX Gamepass, on cloud, on a pirated app(on an Android TV) with the game constantly stopping between scenes due to my poor internet.
What a weird glitch
35:29 "Lone abandoned shoe" was the name of my Weezer coverband in college
finally i can breathe again
This game is somehow a game I never seen the ending even though I know it from release
Baller game so I know this video is gonna be good
:O a firewatch video
My goat
Yay first upload
In a bit
Only thing I remember about firewatch is the alt ending where the helicopter leaves you if you take too long to get on.
There was always one thing that bothered me about the ending.
Why was all the equipment still there? It was just left out in the woods, unattended? I know it needed to be there to keep the narrative the way they wanted it, but what was the in-universe reason for the government just abandoning hundreds, maybe even thousands, of dollars in equipment in a park? Still attached to power, at that.
And it can't be a case of "they still used it" because then Ned's notes wouldn't have been left there.
If they only used it seasonally, some of the larger equipment might have been left. However, there was plenty of portable equipment left too.
For me, that's why the "It was just one guy!" ending felt so bad. I get wanting to have a twist in your story, and I don't even think the "It's a conspiracy!" ending would have been good, but ffs don't leave open a massive plot hole. (Henry's comments about notes related to Julia also fit into this category. We as the player see no notes about Julia that weren't already discussed, but somehow Henry does? And how would Ned even have found that information out? It doesn't make sense unless Henry was, quite literally, experiencing delusions.)
Bro really dropped a whole face reveal for an AD of all things 😭😭
i love your vidos keep it up buckaroo.
The two problems were, everyone hated the ending, and Campo Santo basically got destroyed right after the game. But this game is amazing.
waiting on wadanohara
29:23 that is the first refrence i have ever seen to the andy grithith show.
Brain Rot Ben is my reason I have nightmares now
You should review the Trilogy of sleep games made by the same person who made the don't escape Trilogy
