I really love this game, one of my favorites, despite its many issues. Great video too!
I need more tenchu content man
I wish they hadn't cut the content that would have explained Ethan's blackouts and psychic connection to the killer. It would have made the whole thing make sense rather than a pointless dropped plotline
Thank you for the video.
Thank you for the video
Not bad but I feel like you’re just reading towards the end there. Your delivery is a little monotone there. Your has so much detail and covers all the topics I am interested in. I learned a lot. Thank you for covering this game.
Noted! Thanks for the tip 💯
stumbled across yo channel like a week ago with that heavy rain video and man the effort that goes into these videos is insane. u prlly get positive feedback all the time but plz keep up what ur doing this is sum grade A work man
Thank you, this quote means a lot to me and yes I have a much content coming soon 💯
No one can make me like David Cage!!
No one is trying to? They're sharing their love and passion for games, David Cage just happens to be the one of the driving forces behind this one. If you're getting too many videos which you think are trying to make you "like" him, perhaps stop clicking on videos that has stuff related to him?
@DarkestKNIGHTCJH David cage is a horrible man! He publicly has made homophobic and sexist comments like " quantic dream doesn’t make games for f*gs” and “all women in my games are wh**es,” exactly why he puts all the women characters in overly sexual scenarios where they are being sexually assaulted! That's not even discussing the bogus plot of Heavy rain where even the killers thoughts are about him wondering who the killer is 🤣💀💀💀 I'm just saying just because there's the illusion of a good game doesn't make it or the developer good!
I might get the game still on sale on steam
You will not be disappointed, worth it.
Well if anything just take it for free on a torrent website that game is literally way too old to spend money on
I would love to see you do a retrospective on the Prototype Duology. I love your objective view and how knowledgeable you are on games. 😊
Thank you for tuning in much appreciated. I have my retrospectives lined up, but I can definitely add this to the list for a future Retrospective. 💯
@@retrophantom227 Oh that's awesome! I can't wait for more from you!
It’s amazing seeing how far we’ve gotten in facial animation since this game
I agree at one point in time, this was the best looking game until we got Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human.
@@retrophantom227 exactly
ETHAN!!!!
This was an easy sub! Really dig the cadence you use with your narration, you really sound fluid, not at all tensed up and it just flows super naturally with your editing style. And thank you for the subtitles, I have garbage hearing and it's such an awesome help so it's SO appreciated. Can't wait to see what you put out next!
Thank you for subbing, and thank you for your support. I'm looking to have more content similar to this and they will have subtitles as well, so you can read along.
dude this video is actually amazing i love your work! keep it up this is some of the best retrospective work i've seen on yt in a while!!
Thank you for your support, I have more coming in store.
Fam I love this, amazing work, you are doing fantastic, but I will need you to turn the music down so I can hear you better
Sorry about that, I added subtitles to the videos so if you hit closed captions, my accurate transcript comes up. I hope it helps and will make sure it doesn't happen again
Good content! It sounds to me like you are slurring some of your words (maybe just a dialect thing?) but to me it makes some words you say a bit hard to hear properly. Especially when pronouncing certain "N" sounds. I like your content, just wanted to let you know, in case you are not aware - meant as constructive criticism :)
Thank you for the constructive criticism, I'm always open to it. I'll work on my dialect and recently I've found a software that let's me add subtitles. So if it's a hard word for you, there are closed captions available now. I hope that helps while I work on that. Thank you for your critique.
Yeah I don't hear a slurring. Like, AT ALL Why did this feel like a micro aggression? ("I don't like how much melanin I can hear in your voice." Typeshit) 😂😂😂 bro I'm cackling like a cartoon witch over here
@@KRisziFicaTion which words sound slurred? Timestamp?
@@DarlingMissDarling Im not gonna engage with someone coming onto me like that and labeling me with any preconcieved notions regarding melanin or otherwise. You obviously just come to be toxic. Go get help
I do apologize (1:43 - 2:45) had to be muted due to copyright. I'll make sure this does not happen again. I hope you still enjoy the video.
Just beat this game for the first time in 10 years yesterday on my PS5. It'd be my 3rd or 4th playthrough. While the game has plenty of flaws, i enjoyed my time with it. Other than the apartment hallucination, i thought that the QTEs, while primitive, were really fun, roughly mimicking some of the on-screen action. Ive never gotten to play Omikron, but i intend to eventually do so. Would love to see you do a vid on it.
I love this game, for all its weirdness and flaws, I still love it. I love all Quantic Dream games. Love the quirkiness.❤ Oh and I can't forget...to...press X to JASONNNNN! JAAAAAASONNNN!
I enjoy the games too, I've also covered Fahrenheit where I go into thier history and inception and Beyond two souls Retrospective will be out soon
I don't like koijma
Is it because he’s lactose intolerant?
Yikes commentary style, explaining everything about to happen seconds before the clip of it happening. Just show the clip and do the commentary over the clip or after, not before. I get your spelling it out so a baby can understand but work on the structuring, you all over the place
Thank you for the feedback
Dope

34:18 your computer screen popping up here kinda made the scene just before it more creepier to me lol he mentioned if he passed out just before and it kinda makes it seem like some greater force is controlling him thru a program lol which I mean, he is being controlled by us too 😂
Sharp eye, it was an error on my part but I'm glad to know it shook things up.
I got the Leave ending just about every time I play, but I always thought the In Water ending was most likely the canon ending.
I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica...
Looking fwd to the omikron retrospective ^^
I'll try to fit it in somewhere down the line thanks for requesting it.
Wow
This is really cool
I was not expecting this, clicked as soon as I saw this. I was able to 100% this game in 1 day. The story is pretty gnarly!
Thanks for tuning in, I hope you enjoy the retrospective
@retrophantom227 I love listening to them. Although your narration is not loud enough, I just pop in my earbuds to be able to hear you and listen to your retrospectives at work.
Thanks for the feed back, I'll make sure to work on it, I've been playing with my audio over a year trying to find the right formula
Let's Go Phantom!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
SH3 is my favourite Silent Hill game and this retrospective really did it justice. I particularly liked your analysis of the characters and also found the Robbie the Rabbit analysis interesting, as I've never thought about the mascot as a significant part of the game's symbolism. It's videos like these that give me a new perspective and keep a game that I've played over 40 times interesting.
going to hop in here and say it did not fail. This game was perfect and it polished so many gameplay elements from WOH. It should of continued in this direction
In the prison scene, you'll notice that every time Maria talks as Mary, the camera becomes grainy. And that's the only time it happens in the entire game.
I say this on every single SH2 video since the announcement of the remake: If they do not NAIL Mary, the game could be perfect otherwise, and itll still suck. The letter, the prison scene as Maria, the final meeting... That's a lot of pressure to put on a VA, but if she goes in there and treats it like another day in the office, then screw her, Bloober for hiring her, and the horse they all rode in on
I go back and forth on if this is the greatest game of all time. For me, it's SH2 or MGS3, with honorable mentions for Dark Souls 1 and Donkey Kong Country 2.
Silent Hill series is legendary I used to actually be scared playing them 😮💨🔥🔥🔥
It's that fear of the unknown and when that radio starts it puts you on the defensive 🛡️🛡️🛡️
All hail the Mighty Algorithm for recommending yet another quality Silent Hill CZcamsr.
Thank you for tuning in, feel free to check out my other 3 silent hill videos 🙏🏾
@@retrophantom227 I'm gonna watch them all over the next couple of days. I'm a major Silent Hill junkie, have been since the first SH was released in 1999 when I was a senior in high school lol. PRAISE THE PLAYSTATION 🤣🤣🤣
14:42 Room 302? I wonder if that's a connection with the fact that water freezes at 32 fahrenheit. He's locked/frozen in place, like ice in a freezer.
Silent circus perfect song choice! 👌
Let's Go Phantom!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Underrated classic great job on the video
Thank you 🙏🏾
Let's Go Phantom 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
