#TheQuietMan #BestGameEver - Hry
Just a heads up, I’d recommend watching this one with headphones, sounds best that way 👍
Could be said for all my videos, actually.
I balance all the commentary/background sound/background music with headphones, and then do a quick extra pass w/o headphones to make sure it’s at least serviceable coming from speakers as well
@@PurposelessRabbitholes thank you for that, it annoys the hell out of me the audio goes from normal to what to MY EARDRUMS ARE BLEEDING in a video 👍
Ever noticed the main character looks almost exactly like the guy from BRAND Sins? Take a look!
The only way to watch a review of Quiet Man is obviously one time on mute with no subtitles, then again with the sound turned on.
The quiet man vs BYE BYE man vs DARKMAN !
Imagine paying real life actors to do an expensive and complicated scene only to not use their audio. This game was burning money.
Actually if you beat the game once you gain the ability to play it again but with the sound on, it doesn’t make the story better or anything, actually it might even be worse, but it is an option.
@@keeganhooker8448 it's a weird design choice though
In theory, I think it’s a neat concept. Like, how do you perceive certain situations just from lip-reading, body movement, and preconceived notions? Then, how is that turned on its head whenever you hear the real thing?
It’s too bad the game attached to that concept was so bad :(
@@keeganhooker8448 the option to play through again with audio upon completion wasn't even in the base release of the game. It was patched in! Weeks after release if I remember correctly
@@YON_RO oh so they kept it safe somewhere... how fortunate. imagine if they erase it
The real quiet man was the friends we made along the way.
Or lack thereof...
@@Ki_Adi_Mundi What are you doing here master Adi-Mundi?
Or the ones i lost reccomending this game
Ps: just joking... I dont have friends to lose '-'
I don't know why this lines in the comments
the real friends are the quiet men we made along the way.
The game was originally released only without the audio only on November 1st 2018, then updated on November 9th 2018 to include the audio, however in order to get the audio you have to beat the game first without the audio and then replay it.
The people who replayed it with audio said it still doesn't makes sense.
That's a cool concept. At first experience the world as the character would then get to understand what actually was going on. Obliviously people who know he's deaf should be using ASL but random gangsters wouldn't know
@@thatthinginunitb3622 It was cool honestly, the problem is that like the person mentioned, the story is sadly...still shit even with context of the audio.
@@ubermaster1 it’s not great, but not that bad either. In the context of having no auditory clues and then getting the reveals, it was quite amusing. The bad gameplay made it too stretched out, I guess. I wouldn’t know, got the quiet story from this vid and the audio story from a playthrough, where I skipped the fighting. If they’d condense both versions into a feature length film and made the reveal shorter, I think the film would honestly be very entertaining.
Yeah the concept is good but for that they need a playable game
I read the plot synopsis and it's insane. People just do stuff, and then come up with a reason for it, and the mask is supernatural with no explanation
Everyone else: Cyberpunk, End Of Year Lists
Purposeless Rabbitholes: The Quiet Man
It's called purposeless for a reason
Yeah the problem with this is that he ends up barely gaining any attention to his videos, so the only people that watch it are the ones that already know his channel. I like this random videos but his views can only decrease when the topics are as random as the fecking Quiet Man
@@boldone66 go look at his about section
@@SweatedPear Yeah I get it and do like it, I just want him to be more successful and get the attention he deserves you know? Something that's kinda tough happening when the Quiet Man is his first topic of 21 lmao
@@boldone66 His problem isn't his lack of viral content, it's his lack of upload consistency.
15:27 Why...for the love of all things sacred on this rotten rock, is there a scene that has no audio, despite the fact that THE FUCKING DEAF MAN ISN'T EVEN THERE!?
It feels like the removal of the audio was a last minute decision, maybe I’m wrong, but that might be what happened, even then, since the protagonist can read lips really well, there should’ve at least been subtitles
99% sure "gangster #1" is holding his cigarette backwards... that's how you know he's street as hell
You ain't hood af unless you smoke your menthols filter-first.
@@DanCrippsey ah, I thought it was too good to be true... this game is indeed, NOT street.
@@nottoday9182 do you really like bloodborne, or are you an actual doctor who infects patients with blood-born diseases?
@@conaldeugenepeterson2147 I just really like Bloodborne. I assume you love Ace Ventura? Or.... tuna?

@@PurposelessRabbitholes hey bro, remember that Flash vid you made, and that Sonic joke you made? That's right, now you have to make an Sonic Mania and Mania plus video you coward. I mean, you asked for momentum
@@PurposelessRabbitholes I'm only here for the shitposts tbh
My friend was just getting used to cracking games. He was looking for games that would "entertain him".
I told him. Dude quiet man is good.
"Really"
He downloaded it, immediately streamed it to me on discord.
I have never laughed so hard in my goddamn life
discord is gay
@@whiteydiamond ikr? Is soo gay! It's the best!

@@PsychoRavager It is confirmed discord is gay
Being subscribed to Purposeless Rabbitholes is a constant experience of forgetting his existence and then being reminded of it once every 3 months. I love the content!
100%, this concept wasn't what they had envisioned when they started. They must have had a falling out with their sound engineer and decided to change the concept instead of finding a new one..
You should read the "open letters" written by the producer of the game, Kensei Fujinaga. It's some of the most hilariously pretentious shit I've ever seen, and really puts the game in perspective. This really was the game he wanted to make, he never even wanted to release the "Answered" version with the dialog originally.
Here's a sample:
_"Words shape consciousness; indeed, some even say that "words are life". But what if we were to cast aside such a life? What if somehow, we were able to understand one another through connections formed heart to heart, soul to soul, and could once again look into one another's eyes and form a bond so pure? This concept lies at the core of THE QUIET MAN. "_
Who the fuck has ever said "words are life?" I guarantee Fujinaga-san microdoses MDMA and psilocybin daily.
@@TheDrewker "Indeed some even say that words are life." I'm sure he's quoting something, but from his tone it just seems like if someone actually asked him he'd be like, "well, I say that!"
@@TheDrewker that reminds me of that art of noodles video,where a chinese guy from hong kong says that it takes practice, and that he loves what he does, while the japanese dude just goes I CAN SEE IN 10 DIMENSIONS (not even joking)
@@jeangreffsbp Please share this masterpiece you speak of
@@VictoryOfThePeople11 czcams.com/video/f2kesmAO8VU/video.html
Here ya go.
I legitimately thought that the coors light sign said “Club Mayonaise” for a good 2 seconds and absolutely lost it.
okay tho the fact that charlie gets more and more excited with each shitty parkour moment gives me so much life
He made this video purely so he could tell us that he does have in fact a girlfriend, and she is in fact also very funny.
Im onto you mate.
It sounded so much like Cartman I was laughing my ass off.
I suspect the same
plot twist, you are the girlfriend XD
I mean that in and of itself is far more interesting than whatever this game has going on so I’m all for it
She goes to a different school though
I feel like the whole "Mom dying over shoes" thing is made less stupid due to Uncle Ben dying over chocolate milk and pocket change in TASM
I mean (not to defend this game) people are killed over small things like that all the time, maybe not shoes and chocolate milk, but small things in general.
Tbf in the Raimi trilogy it was because Sandman, who didn't even intend to use it, didn't have the safety on and his knee jerk reaction to being tapped on the shoulder is to start blasting.
@@tjknight revolvers don't have safeties
@@tjknight to be fair, the ending where Peter forgives him is pretty good
That film did not have to retell the origin.
And they still did.
>make the character deaf as a major part of the game
>do absolutely nothing with it
brillant
the game will literally forgot the volume up on the keyboard
So does this guy have super powers just because he's deaf?
Is that how it works? Being deaf makes you have Albert Wesker-like reflexes?
When you lose one sense your other senses become _enhanced_
@@PurposelessRabbitholes that’s what she said.
Sorry, I lost my sense of humour. But my sense of urgency was enhanced!
THIS ISN'T QUANTUM BREAK...
They should've went into a superhero route with this one.
Something like inFamous.
Honestly making this video for that joke was worth it
I will pay good money for this man to cover AI: The Somnium Files. It’s criminally underrated.
(Fun fact, deafness is a spectrum, you can be deaf and only hear loud noises or muffled noises)
Absolutely. Although I don’t know if the final fantasy menu sounds and dramatic stingers are exactly accurate haha.
I didn’t go further into the deafness element and discuss finer details like this because I’m certainly no expert, felt it wasn’t my place to extensively speak about it (other than cracking some jokes at the expense of the game’s general terribleness)
@@PurposelessRabbitholes don't worry, neither was anyone who worked on this game.
@@PurposelessRabbitholes Oh don't worry I just meant to teach some facts, I know people aren't really taught about theses things so here I am ^^
I just really hope a team of people do their own version of this game’s dialogue where they just make up their own lines. Can’t be too hard
Holy shit this game would be 1000% perfect for a live fan dub lol
The man with the mysterious rabbitholes returns...
While a mystery, his rabbit holes serve no purpose
Idk if you got the audio version, The Quiet Man Answered, but here's some context(I've never played the game, I just got my knowledge from other videos)
1. The protagonist's name is Dane, and Taye(the black guy) is his best friend. They both run a gang and Taye owns Club Moonrise
2. The old detective guy and the policeman in the flashback are the same person. In the "comforting" flashback, he was blaming the young Dane for getting his mom killed, and was abusing him throughout his childhood
3. "Mom Girlfriend" is named Lala. Even though she looks and sounds EXACTLY like Dane's dead mom, she's not related to her in any way, shape, or form. She's also Taye's girlfriend and her kidnapping was fake.
4. You were right about the guy in the graffiti painting being the same guy in the flashback. He's the leader of the gang Sol 33
5. The whole thing in the game was set up by Dane's dad.
6. If you play the Quiet Man Answered, there's an extra ending where they try to show Dane and his dad making up.
7. Fun fact:the game takes place in New York, but the scenes were filmed in Bulgaria
his dad is named robert too
@@mapmoop451 I forgot about that fact XD
Really hope you stream yourself playing the "answered" version
The real question is where do the rabbitholes go? I mean, yeah they’re purposeless. But cmon, they can’t just be a dead end. My theory is that they lead to the underworld. And that’s how you get to hell in doom. So the real origin of doom is that doom guy fell down a purposeless rabbithole, which dropped him in hell. STORY SOLVED BOYS
I’m onto you, Charles
I feel like a game with a deaf protagonist could absolutely work if it utilized music and percussion in its gameplay and didn’t have an absolutely nonsensical story with no dialogue or subtitles to express its story. This game is a dumpster fire that actually could have worked if it wasn’t made by idiots.
Totally.
Exactly.
The reason you can't hear anything was because the original soundtrack was "Sweet Home Alabama", but they couldn't get the rights to it, so they just destroyed all the audio.
This comment deserves an oscar
what absolutely stuns me is that for a game about deafness, it sure is fuckin not accommodating for the deaf by including *subs*, aka what is now becoming industry standard ADA accommodations in entertainment media
how can any dev fuck up THAT hard
edit: listening to PR giggle to himself while trying to record is a strange sort of wholesomeness
How the hell did mom-girlfriend and stencil survive that explosion? They were in the fire.
The Singer Lady love interest thing randomly reminded me of that one episode of Fraiser where he dates a woman who looks like is mom. Pretty good episode IMO.
Great episode. The final shot of them all watching the home movies is wonderfully underplayed
In a nutshell:
Show, don't tell.
But I don't like the show either!
This is what happens when you forget that show don't tell requires something to show first.
Much obliged, brother Charles. EDIT: I believe the gang's moniker is the "Green-Goes" - that's just stupid enough to work. I had to go watch that Mike Stoklasa mental break again, thank you for reminding me that's a thing.
At 15:00 the Quiet Man realizes he has his period and has no pads or tampons on him.
There’s a John Wayne movie also called The Quiet Man, and thinking about these two Quiet Men together is honestly so hilarious.
“babe wake up new purposeless rabbitholes”
"yes honey"
I'm half-surprised you didn't just upload a video where all your voice-overs are the charlie brown-ass noises from Quiet Man.
I'm so glad I watched this instead of buying this out of curiosity in the psn store. Definitely the best game review I've ever seen
quiet man did a 7 page muda
*best game ever*
So from what i gathered in the audio version the story is almost more nonsensical.....
Our main character’s name is Dane and he went through a large amount of trauma after his mom died and that cop that talked to him is his ACTUAL DAD. Yup his actual dad that was also abusive to him because the dad BLAMES HIM FOR GETTING HIS MOTHER KILLED. Which is crazy already but the doozy is that Dane created this alter ego of “The Quiet Man” which is the bird masked man as in the games own words “An Outlet For His Pain”. It also turned out that Dane was the the one that kidnapped singer girl, Lala, as the quiet man which in the end was his all part of his father’s master plan. To try and turn Dane into the “Quiet Man” to get revenge on the two guys that killed his wife but in the end dane saw his father as the “Quiet man” the source of all his anger and violence. And that Dane was just imagining fighting the bird mask man while he was actually doing his father’s bidding. Little side note here they Acknowledge that Lala looks like Dane’s mom and he is cool with it. Also they never explain the shadow bird mask powers. It literally is just as random as it is.
I actually laughed out loud alone in my room at the Quantum Broke joke
That mgsv joke was so underated because that sounds exactly like a kojima name
I've had a really hard few months, and 1:15 in I already feel better. Thank you, and never underestimate what you do
Before the game came out i was thinking, "what an shit idea for a game to have no sound".
Good to have you back Charlie. Hope you had a great Christmas/NYE. Great vid as always, watching your other new vid shortly. What a truly bizarre game that...i am weirdly tempted to play to actually find out how much you got right. Stay awesome.
The best part after looking up the story is that father cop and abusive dad are same person.
And the whole event of the game was part of a revenge plot by father cop.
this game reminds me of Yakuza and Judgment with some sleeping dogs in there (plot and gameplay) but shittier in every way
I think the Final Fantasy menu noises were the game letting us in on what it truly feels like to be deaf with an artistic twist. We hear what he hears though! It's a bold move to call a game The Quiet Man and place such emphasis on how the protagonist cant hear, then also give him karate magic and put him in a world where hearing isnt important .
What is the purpose of having those scenes done in live-action?
You have to play the dubbed mode. It's infinitely more batshit than you could possibly imagine
I just stumbled upon your content. The quality of your videos deserves more views.
Not ending this game (haven’t even played it) but it’s pretty obvious why the hot dog guy and the gang members are audible: you hear them because the story is being “narrated” through an omniscient narrator. From that point onwards there is a transition (a visual one) that clearly transports us into the main character, and the story then becomes narrated through him.
P.s. apparently later in the game we get scenes without the protagonist: that doesn’t nullify the above, it just proves the inconsistency in the design choices.
I love that this is dedicated to shitting on a game no one's heard of. Simply the best
This is the first time i hear about this game and I'm one of those guys that's always up to date with releases and news
One day into the new year and this is already the best video of the year.
damn i've missed him, i wish he could upload more often
Really had me looking to add it to my wishlist before I even watched the video. I've been played.
I totally have this game. First time. You can interact with the environment in combat. I did one move to where I was in a kitchen, and when I used the focus button I think L2, and the man was standing in front of the stove, there was a tea kettle on the stove and I ran and jumped in the air in slow motion and then it went fast and then went back to slow motion again to where I kicked like a wall kick and kicked the tea kettle straight onto his head. That was sweet ASF...idk how I did it but it's with triangle while holding the focus button which is L2. There are a lot of hidden fighting moves in the quiet man you just have to discover them yourself by playing around with with the d-pad, dash button which is R2, square, triangle, and circle button. I really liked the game it's very unique and different ☺️. But so far I found only one hidden fighting move which I explained. I still haven't complete the game just yet. But the plot of the game is about a guy who is deaf so that is why the game was made the way it was made and that is why the gameplay has no sound and dialogues and stuff because the character is deaf if anyone is going to bring down the game with hate. But I only had this game for a month now. I'm new to ps4 and I'm a ex-twitch streamer that's a new CZcams Gaming Streamer on the ps4. This is my first ps4 ever. Had it for a year. Bought it on April 1st 2021. I like it, pretty neat and pretty fun. Anyways take care.
this has to be The Room of video games, aiming for brilliance but missteps so hard it ends up as hilarious
Love how @17:16 Charlie just takes the hit staring at the gold statue for commentary.... Gold!
I'm so glad you kept that blooper real
10/10 game right here.
Great Review, it showed me the many different reasons why The Quiet Man is the greatest comedy of all time.
lost all my subs lately. couldnt quite remember your channel name, so of course i searched for expensive spiderman. very glad 2 make this channel one of the few that i have in my subscriptions. i essentially am only following the channels i couldn't forget if i tried now. thanks for this video cause my feed is very slow lately, and my recommended videos suuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Literally my favourite youtuber. No one quite makes video essays like you
Thinking about it, a survival horror as a deaf character would be interesting tho
Like a game version of the great 2016 movie Hush.
A criminally underrated channel.
Gangster #1 is the most memorable character in this game so far xD
>Cinematic Game
>Greatest Game
Me: you can't fool me, Rabbit!
I was laughing already, but absolutely lost it at Punished "Stencils" Friend Gangster lol. Keep up the content my man!
Your reward for beating the game is being able to freaking hear it!
This is the hardest I’ve laughed at a CZcams video in a good while. Thanks dawg
I'm going to call Dane Mary sue
"What is the team that the sports gangsters are a part of?"
... the Philadelphia Eagles, obviously.
Welcome back!!
hell yeah, what a great vid to watch on christmas! :D

Goddamn... that Quantum Broke joke is SO good
Another good job man! Keep it up!
videos like these are why i love this channel
Good to see you back buddy, missed you

Hello fellow underrated CZcamsr.
Love you man keep it up
Bro, you have to play the Answered mode. It's way more insane than you could possibly imagine
My boi is back with awesomeness
I'd pay good money to see you play this live and snapped like Mike did in that episode lmao
Just found your channel, love it.
watched this on rerez when they did a video on it awhile ago so i knew what i was in for and your commentary still killed me.
So I’m not the only person who remembers this train wreck
the humor was real in this video, thank you for making my day better. hilarious at 15:22 i lost it ha
I love the breakdown at the end.
I live for Purposeless Rabbitholes' reaction to the parkour scenes
This video, this piece of art
I love this
"I'm sorry, I'll quit it with the nicknames."
Mr. Rabbitholes, there is a REASON I am still watching this video.
Fvcking finally, this day keeps gettin better
Every upload is quality content, no matter the wait. Thank you brother.
So, if we're all aware that the title is a joke, does it still technically count as clickbait?
You’re reaction to each time he does parkour killed me
The studio was quiet after this one... i’ll be here for the next 24 minutes.
