When you think about the whole plot of World of Goo 2 is like an inverse of the plot of World of Goo 1 World of Goo Drive the goo balls to near extinction and fuck up the planet World of Goo 2 Drive the human population to extinction and help the goo population thrive in the end.

13:07 the funniest thing is that I actually ended up skipping the second half of The Black Stain because of how slow it was and yet this statement here is, completely by coincidence, the best way I’ve seen a game not make me feel bad for skipping content.
@@casualbird7671the drop-down tab where you can retry a level or return to the level select also has an option to skip levels entirely. And it’s allowed for any level if you find it too annoying or difficult.
hey resident world of goo fan here. this game was genuinely the best game ive ever played in a long long time. im so glad the game is getting a lot more coverage and more people are discovering it. we in the community love to see it
The black stain just feels unreal to me. If someone showed me that part of the game without me knowing what it was. Never in a million years I would have guessed World Of Goo
I still loved this game ,but I wish they would've taken more time to explain like why the goo balls returned. LIke a bit more context about all the sudden changes in the first three chapters would've helped a lot. That said I loved the new mechanics and music. The ending was also really cool!
I’m pretty sure Wogcorp brought them back with the LJR monster because the sign guy makes a comment “I wonder if the seismic activity had anything to do with the goo seeping up from below” or smth like that + that’d mean Wogcorp had a 3 chapter long master plan which fits with the theme
In the last level the signs said World of Goo Corp. was at the maximum speed of goo collection, so they wanted to speed up the passage of time itself to collect it even faster. As for why it accelerated for 200,000 years, I’d say they got carried away with the idea and thus went too far.
@@alexsiemers7898It also seems that WoG Org’s efforts were fruitless, since the passage of time getting faster is *only* relative to those on the train. To everyone else outside, time would be moving forward at a normal rate.
@@MrChair1241yes, and I think that’s cause the AE was only a prototype for the midnight steamliner, which was meant to be the true time travel train. The ending of the AE chapter, in addition to referencing LI’s scrapped time travel subway, is clearly a reference to Deliverance given they both involve wogcorp using too much of something causing WoGCorp/WogOrg’s machine to go out of control, and in that part of wog1 WoGCorp is using the ish and virtual WoGCorp as a beta testing for their completed digital 3d world plan, which we never learn the extent of, so it makes sense that the AE was a test in a similar manner. And since Blackwood is implied to be descended from WogOrg since they have similar goals and personalities + Misty blames them for the bleeding ground, it makes sense that the midnight steamliner may have originally been designed as a second WogOrg time traveler train; that’d explain why Cognac was so interested in riding it and his strange “maybe I’ve been on this train for 200000 years” remark.
The games from these devs have always felt really... off-putting. Like I get it, that's always been their thing. I have to wonder what the underlying message is at this point.
I think it's trying to build a contrast between the destructive and false "can't stop progress" ideology of the first game and the new game where there truly is a form of progress you can't stop the cycle of life and rebirth.
It does indeed sound like AI, but a part of me wants to think that it's a stylistic choice. Perhaps it's an ironic twist on what modern entertainment, through social media, is. Rather than making a Machine sound more like a Man, it's making a Man sound like a machine. With both games having semi-clear anti-capitalist undertones, showing corporate greed for what it basically is, supports this theory.
I have mixed feelings about chapter 4, while it’s very interesting and pretty fun, going back and replaying the black stain levels is a chore. Also it changes the direction of where the story was going with a pretty meh one. Overall I feel like the chapter should’ve taken a different direction.
Watching this without ever playing the games or seeing any other content from ‘world of goo’ is such a weird trip.

World of Goo
Drive the goo balls to near extinction and fuck up the planet
World of Goo 2
Drive the human population to extinction and help the goo population thrive in the end.
Human's go extinct in the original World of Goo as well.
@@thewolfgabe3656 it was a very nice "happy" ending compared to the last one

How did you skip it? I had done the other levels first and found I wasn't allowed to get to the finale until I beat the rest of black stain
@@casualbird7671the drop-down tab where you can retry a level or return to the level select also has an option to skip levels entirely. And it’s allowed for any level if you find it too annoying or difficult.
Theres a skip option on the dropdown menu
I personally didn't mind it (I kinda like long dialogue parts in games if they're interesting), but I can see why some people didn't like it as much.
@@SilverMSMit was mainly annoying to me because it was a total drag in terms of pacing compared to the rest of the game.

Agreed
There's also one cutscene with a squirrel getting an acorn from a world of goo organization sign
@@idk-zt8rx forgot that one. Might add it in soon
5:18 DEAR GOD *in a bloody demon voice*
2:13 nice throwback to the ending of 1st game
It’s more than a throwback, I think it’s the same telescope

Personally chapter 4 was the best part it was just so random and hilarious
4:17 is this Little Inferno world? Cause it's snow and the melody from Little Inferno.
Pretty sure it was supposed to be yeah. I guess the idea is that the kid eventually left like Miss Nancy does.
The melody is actually from world of goo since its the telescope operator theme
@@TheKanakoKetsukanetelescope operator…
Formerly, the sign painter…
Wait a DANG SECOND.
That world is earth
@@HumanOnEarth128I think it’ll be covered more in WTTISH, and I also think the kid is the wog1 player that traveled there
5:30
MADE IN HEAVEN
thought the same thing, minus the people dying part lol
Atomic Train's cutscene is just disturbing.
MÆDO IN HEAVEN!
Absolutely agreed. It terrifies me on like an existential level. It doesn’t feel like humans were designed to think about that long a timespan.
That’s EXACTLY how I feel when trying to get 999,999 tags in StreetPass…
Could be the whole reason why the game was rated T instead of E
While it's a scary concept it's not actually how relativity works and kinda loses the punch for me because of it
The Atomic Express was so damn cool. I couldn't understand its purpose, but maybe I didn't need to

The Game does my childhood.
But the difference theory:
Beauty School, and now, Jelly School has switched.
Atomic train made in heaven
1:43 The Black Sea monster sounds like Rudy the Baryonyx from Ice Age 3
I remember Rudy, not sure about this sound.
As someone who hasn’t played World of Goo, what the fuck happens in World of Goo
Go play it and find out!
Tbh the plot isn’t as cohesive in the 2nd game as it is in the first
if you where paying attention it should have been obvious: the Goo balls go in the the pipes
@@alexsiemers7898it is
0:12 wait, isn’t the Goo processed into energy drinks?
*did they just give an infant an energy drink?*
Maybe different types of goo become different drinks
Brawndo?
Far from the worst thing that happens in the franchise
the only thing I'm wondering is how the kid lived for 100,000 years
They were traveling at near the speed of light just like the train.
@@alexsiemers7898 makes sense
I think one of the signs in the final world said that they had some sort of stasis thing, like cryogenically freezing themselves or something
@@GooBomber1 Yeah it did
Yeah cryosleep

@@Deadsphere I think chapter 4’s theme is making fun of overdone franchises
It’s metaphor for developing games
@@HumanOnEarth128yes true, but that ideology in the first game was also making fun of publishing corporations
its so goo-d!
JAMAKO! 🗣🗣🗣🔊🔊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
soooo... Little inferno and world of goo are conected?
Yes, I think they always were since the GooBall pack is in LI + HRM and World of Goo both have a character named Alice
Nice
all this game's voice acting sounds like ai
It's all credited to real people
But yeah it really does sound like AI

Perhaps that was part of the voice direction??
@@TubbyFatfrickit’s not anti-capitalist in either game, it’s metaphor for game development. Kyle actually said he likes capitalism iirc
So?
you guys think the chapter 4 voices are ai?
It's not!
It might be what it was going for, but it's def. not
I hate chapter 4
Who the hell is we
I unironically loved going through The Black Stain
