@@vlrginizer927 it's absolutely based on Russia. Specifically, the tough border control of the communist soviet union in lieu of the aptly named "Iron Curtain." It might fit Germany, but it fits soviet Russia far better

Papers Please in Middle School: Oh my god this is literally the hardest game ever made Papers Please after having a job in Data Entry: Psssh, my boss only changed *one* arbitrary rule today? What is this, second grade?
This game reminded me how the few (similar like) data entry jobs I had were such a shit experience, through and through. How the hell do people even keep up with crap like this, and do it without feeling like blowing their brains out ? It's both depressing and maddening (game's well-made, though; nothing against it).
@@VitaEmerald324 Well, "has to be done" does me no good, considering that the data entry jobs I've been at all had this ridiculous daily quota that I could never fullfil, and thus always get me kicked out (guess I'd be dead if I was in the Papers, Please universe). Thankfully, qualification courses are a thing, and means no one should ever be stuck at a job they hate. But hey, power to you if you can put up with that. I just hope you don't get exploited/overworked to death. Kinda happens a lot in work nowadays.
@@casualenjoyer5785i find its just easy to shut your brain off. Or if you are smart with computer programming, data entry is on of the easiest job types to create software to do it for you
What makes Papers Please one of the most unique games to me is that it gives us so little, yet so much at the same time when learning about the world. It's up to the player to see the world, and gather information from the news articles, what they see when working, and the character interactions. Along with the art style, it accomplishes an immersive dystopian world without us even exploring it.
Another game that does such is Library of Ruina. You see small snippets of stories about the guests you battle, and read more backstory from the books you make from them after victory. The premise is that an AI lady wants to create a Perfect Book that’s essentially directions on how to leave the mystic titular library, and in essence you’re stuck too. You can’t go out and explore too in the sense that the only time you see something outside the Library is when you invite a storyline guest, so you just watch the movies and read the books to get a clue what’s going on. Just like Angela (the AI
This is one of the greatest games in the history of games. The premise is pretty much the last thing you'd expect a video game to be about, but Lucas Pope made it so engaging and thought-provoking that you just have to know what happens next. Pope did an amazing job.
22:30 I did a full on joker-gas laugh at that punchline. That was too perfect, the timing and surprise, it was like getting Rick Rolled for the first time all over again.
I don’t think there’s a single youtube channel out there that matches the comedy and commentary style of bumbles, he could talk about paperclips for an hour and I’d be invested the whole way through.
I can't wait to see Strong Terry give people the business in the next Bumbles McRumbles, assuming he had to leave Arstotzka, and his job, because of a contract signed with the BMR authorities and a passport to America
Funny thing is, I knew about this game for years, but didn’t try it out until this year’s spring break with the iOS version. And to see Jack discuss the game I’m close to completing is hilarious timing
Man I don't know what it is, but your videos are absolutely calming, If I put them on in the background, it increases my workplace efficiency by at least 500% percent
I feel like there needs to be a name for this genre of game where you play a mid level government (or government like) person with simultaneously a lot of power and no power at all, where you have to be both good at your job and deal with moral quandaries. Other examples would be We the Revolution, We the People, This is the Police, and Death and Taxes (to an extent).
The part with the guard’s girlfriend in this video legitimately made me cry. Not sure what it is about it the buildup of stress and uncertainty of whether you’re doing the right thing and finally getting to see a positive change in the world is what I think it is.
Honestly, after "Lawyer who solves cases" and "farmer who harvests crops" the premise of being an immigrations officer checking papers doesn't seem like such a ridiculous concept
What I love most about this game is it's constantly testing your morales meaning on a blind playthrough everyone will have make different decisions or have different rationale for those decisions.
You know what I love about videos like this, Bumbles? I love that you develop a character through the length of it and you keep it consistent while also throwing in a few twists and developments. I've seen this game played, it's not really my thing, but I think it's fascinating and watching your video really feels like I'm playing it myself; I go in with a very specific image in mind of how I'm trying to play and I stick to that while figuring out how to deal with the situations the game puts me in. It's really engaging and fun. Oh yeah, and you're funny as hell, too. That's also a big value add.
I like that you brought up the republia times, I found it really interesting when I found out about it, especially because republia shows up in papers please
So, one part of my job is to veto papers and spot discrepancies before they are processed for archiving. That job came after I started playing this game. Never thought I would thank a game for helping my future.
One of the top five TH-camrs has uploaded. I really should say something about another TH-camr uploading, but you are a contender for best creator on this platform.
I love that for some people this game is like a weird arcade simulation game seeing how fast you can spot errors and get as much money as possible, while most others are incredibly stressed if they are even using the date system correctly lmao.
24:00 Bumbles is always a blast when it comes to commentary but this moment was the most I've ever laughed at any of his videos. And the bar was already so high...
So I was watching Markiplier’s playthrough before this, and now I have the silly thought that the two playthroughs are connected and Bumbles is the inspector who filled in for Mark after he was arrested.
It's political, but it's also not an aggressive smear piece over/in favor of any one government, country, group of people, or minority. It's best described as a broad commentary on the difficulty of operating a strict border.
your channel is sooo under rated you need so many more subs your vids are great and the number of the episode on the thumbnail makes me wanna watch all of them :]
While playing this game i felt like all i done my whole live is wotking here, and at home, i just go sleep and work again, whole life, Glory to Arstotzka/10
The explosion at 12:09 scared me half to death XD, i was looking down for a moment to write something and i nearly fell out of my chair. In other words 10/10 video!
I just love the guard’s reaction to the bomb, “what is this amateur garbage? Its not even worth evacuating just open it and disarm it! I’ll try and salvage it for parts to sell, but I doubt its even worth much of anything”
I know this would be a big fucking ask, but the way you describe the story of this game playing out is so fucking good, I'd kill for a readout of some of the other story routes. : )
I got to give a ton of create to this guy being able to play "Papers, Please" without losing a single family member. I've seen several videos of people reviewing "Papers, Please" but end up getting frustrated with how difficult it is and ended up finding themselves losing one family member, or all of them.
For the first 10 years of my adult life I worked at a gas station chain. It was like a combination of this game and FnaF. No I will not accept that being a stupid way to describe a job.
It’s amazing that they made a game which based on The Berlin Wall, where you help people cross the border. Never would’ve thought they make a sad event so much fun.
Hearing you name-drop Mibibli's Quest makes me wanna see a review of it from you now Mr Mcfumbles Also learning Rocketbirds (another of my fave indies) was partially responsible for PP is something else

I like that you brought up the republia times, I found it really interesting when I found out about it, especially because republia shows up in papers please
It'd be interesting to get a sequel vid exploring the other stuff with Jorgi and his fake passport thing, and the EXIC stuff
Can’t say I saw this video coming, but it’s a hell of a welcome surprise! Thanks for another great video big guy!

I've been waiting for him to talk about this one. It's a match made in heaven.
when bumbles uploads it’s a good day
My policy for this game was simple. If your photo doesnt match while everything else is correct, you're getting arrested for using a stolen identity.
You are the reason why I'm happy to be watching vids again. "Could you stand still for a minute. Strong Terry would like a word with you!" Genius!!!

Fun fact: The Republia Times is referenced in Papers, Please. Republia is a location in the game’s world. Pretty good Easter egg.
I played this game, and I just love how nearly everyone goes for straight up nationalism the moment they start.

Kitties, am I right?
Those citations raise my blood pressure.
