lmao people are RIPPING this game up
Doctors HATE HIM!!! Click here to discover WHY!

Fucking what lmao
He’s right behind you. Shia lebouf. He’s gaining on you. Shia lebouf.
Lmaooo once i read this i cannot un hear it +2
This is YIIK levels writing, sheesh
"You get out of your car and see someone doing something not socially acceptable."
damn that's crazy
Socially acceptable is based on your personal view of the situation, the game is geared towards events that are divisive on the individual level
@StagDad_ wow its crazy how smart you are
@@StagDad_ Yeah, so your choices are to actively participate as an angsty, jobless, leftist anarchist - or do nothing. Really makes you think.
I wish bro could make fun of the game as it deserves
He will in a year or so when a chatter brings it up again
I gotta say, this really seems like one of the games of all time
edit: also I think Interstate Jackalope is a really bad name
Interstate Jackalope is a good band name, at least
This game could be pretty cool but this edgy writing is hard to digest.
It also seems to be badly advertised. It presents itself as a "roguelite inspired": driving game but it plays more like a visual novel with the occasional driving mini-game
Seems like a hate letter to the devs' collective dads.
@@XxZeldaxXXxLinkxX Yeah, it seems like it has the same problem that games like Hand of Fate have, forgetting that roguelites need items/buffs that actually change and affect the gameplay.
at least the visuals/music are pretty nice, shame the other stuff kinda ruins it
@@XxZeldaxXXxLinkxX yeah it kinda reminds me of that monster prom/roadtrip game that i forgot the name of. that game was pretty popular and it's a whole series now on multiple platforms, and it feels pretty similar to this, so i think you're right that if they had marketed it differently it wouldn't feel like such a disappointment
Driving too simple for racing fans. Resource management too simple for resource management fans. CYOA elements too simple for CYOA fans. Who is this for?
Well, Persona games are basically "we stitched a mediocre rpg to a mediocre visual novel" so sometimes the whole is greater than the sum
You're kinda cooking with the logic here @@ThulerPedro15
@@ThulerPedro15 Wow bro, this is coming from someone who has clearly never played a persona game ever or has basically zero taste in video games.
@@ThulerPedro15 >guy who's never played persona and gets all their opinions from social media
Ya know, casuals do exist, and this game largely screams "telltale games but with driving."
Imagining the alternate universe where NL was a Minecraft Andy. He'd probably have recently started hosting his own server again...
the IP reveal threw him off 😂
lmao at writing "nazi" in marker on a dude's forehead who has a giant iron cross tattoo
Holy shit does that happen? I got to the "radio host is Alex Jones but the writers haven't talked to anyone outside their downtown apartment complex in their lives" and stopped.
Living for Nl refusing to weave between traffic or slow down and rather run off road to instantly crash into the car in front of him, pogged content
He just accepts his fate as he approaches a patch of traffic, going "guys guys guys" as he smashes into the back of a car going 70mph over the speed limit.
The Interstate Jello-Shot
"interstate jackelope" has gotta be one of the worst names they've ever given a video game protag. the writing in this game is also just... not great
Wake up honey the vancouver canucks actually good this year
the writing hurts
"hoOldAWn holdAWN, this is Iyit foLkS, Dis is tha hero we alwayz wanted but nevur deservered"
its soooooo corny. also, i'm trying to escape politics and the current state of the world, not get brownnosed in it through my favourite form of entertainment
@@mesut3284 fym politics, do you see activities associated with government rule in game? Did it ask you to vote on legislation? Stop using that word in this ridicolous manner.
Also, no one is forcing you to play this war of mine, you can stick to fortnite and fall guys but "social issues and philosophical discourse dont belong in MY favourite pasttime" is not a point, you are not tied to a chair and you are not forced to play every game that comes out if its not for you
Thankfully, because this game sucks balls
@@mesut3284too bad, thats what its there for
@@mesut3284 -2 sorry that art deals with the real world ya big baby
Honestly seems fun and has a cool style but this writing is so self serious its crazy
That would be so cool if there was secret Left-Right Game quest or ending.
Nope, it's be an angsty leftist or do nothing.
It just gets worse and worse and I'm only 30 minutes in
I couldnt even make it that far
I’m speeding the video at 22min… the voice acting and the dialogue are so bad…
20 mins in and I wanna switch to balatro vids (I hate balatro)
@@xiricada7121 The voice actor is good, but the writing is weak sauce.
@@anond2015 the Darkest Dungeon narrator couldn't save this crap
A lot of ads recently, a little worried that he's got some sort of disease and is doing all of this to leave his family millions of daughters but at the cost of his own soul. Call it Breaking Ad.
breaking dad
NL is not going Bruce Willis on us.
@@DietArdee"I see dead people"
Something something insert topical relevant joke relating to Bruce Willis and that Kendrick Lamar diss thing and the sixth sense bar in that one track 👍
I wanna leave my family millions of daughters too.
@@StagDad_you’re the only person living in a reality where this comment isn’t satire brother
I like the idea and style. The choices need a lot of work. Writing is fine not the best. Im just under an hour into the video, and it seems the driving courses could use a lil more zest (maybe make detours riskier with more obstacles)
Go back to sleep honey
ok if this came out 9 years ago i would've thought this game was cool as hell
how do you have a driving game with a racing mechanic that starts near Indianapolis and not have the Indy 500
What's with the heavy handed social commentary?
Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long
the first 20 minutes and almost no driving but every event has been mundane, do X, or do Y, you get A and lose B
it's a bit uninspired
few minutes after that and the two radio stations so far have just been "stereotype............." and that's all they wrote
you sound cool
WAIT -
The opening sequence of this game is taking the I-75 from Detroit to the US-20?!
I'm feeling personally attacked by this game already. O.O
fortuitous timing
19:08 average new yorker mindset
the french class jokes got me. hooooly
4:00 Me looking at my 2% mortgage that expires in October. Shit is too real eggman.
no road that goes through connecticut? truly a drivers paradise
The voice acting and writing is really hard to tolerate. The protag seems like someone I would not want to be friends with.
I just shifted into gear baby
shift my pants
31:38 youre talking about the great race. It's a race where oldsmobile type cars try to hit an exact time while reaching specific locations.
I do it with my dad, I'm the naviGator.
Why does he slam the brakes to switch gears
New ab workout just dropped
This is actually me driving up 65 through indianapolis everyday to work. And as NL said, I am not to be passed 😂😂 luckily it's 3 lanes
Grand Rapids mentioned ‼️
Frickin’ trolls
You sound congested, and I feel ya man. Allergies this year are horrible.
One thing i hate seeing is when cops flip their lights just to drive through the red light
Should've tapped Shilah smh
Narrator sounds like the cuil theory guy
Holy shit I haven't thought about that in so long
he's up so late tonight
bbq sauce on my balls
So the dog hater is Ryan's guy, huh...
4:59 5:27
record time.
Sometimes NL riffs a little too much, too fast, and it very much resembles that one community episode where pierce hung out with Troy and abed and watched kick puncher with them.
This game is critical thinking bait for sure get that bag
truly awful writing, its so cringy, i cant watch past 10minutes
I dont understand what this game is about, no offense.
Digging it
Road trip driving game :)
Just another roguelite :(
My favorite egg has no money to improve the acoustic in his room. Tough times.
Me when I armchair critique indie games trying new things in the CZcams comments section 🤓
Wow they did it, they crafted the most boring game in history and wrote the worst dialogue for it
NL isnt allowed to say it, but we get the gist; this game sucks hot shit
Ugh, this writing...
Thank you for playing this game so I know not to.
This game is Trash. Great Stream
Wow this may be the worst game he’s been sponsored to play….
I fuck with this and would be down to watch again forsure
The studio seems like nice people and I get what going on here but this isn’t for me.
Cool game looks good
Yeah not watching all this. Sorry. Game's not good. Writing is abysmal.
Please bring SAP back!
I love this game, the banter goes crazy and the sound track and radio slaps the scenery is also beautiful too
Found the dev
Commenters when game doesn't have rainbow rocket launcher gatling gun to blow up other cars:
Hehehe Discount Logan Cunningham is discount :p
I want to tie a conservative gaming youtuber (à la Quartering or the average Kick streamer) to a chair and force them to play this game beginning to end. Is that too mean? That could be too mean.
i think they’d get more frustrated at the repetitiveness rather than the stereotyping (saying this as a non-conservative)
The options are divisive on purpose, it’s a personality-based adventure - the choices you may think are no brainers are viewed equally as obvious from the other side of the fence.
A conservative player (whose to say NL is not) would be equally as relaxed picking the opposite options to yourself because it is a _video game_
If you've watched NL for any reasonable length of time it's pretty easy to discern his politics in a general sense. Obviously no one is all one thing
still better than the balatro vids
wrong again
This game seems really horrible. Im all for those sponsor dollar my dude, but there has to be better options out there than this.
The writing is awful. 😂 Its like liberal edgelords from r/im14andthisisdeep were summoned to write this. If youre going to lampoon something make it funny. And i say this as a liberal who thought gamergate was a bunch of conservative idiots overreacting. Or better yet keep ypur politics out of your video games
If they wanted to insert controversial topics, they could have at least used a choose-your-side mechanic like Knights of the Old Republic 2.
When the guy was sold the counterfeit Bible, I expected an option to stall/entertain the criminal. Lose some money to buy him drinks until the cops arrive.
Unfortunately a terrible game

Can people stop complaining about the writing. Its literally fine. Video games just like any other art media should be able to explore politics and social commentary.
it's cringey and 2-dimensional. Metal Gear games explore politics heavily in every game, you know why nobody complains about them? Because they're actually fun and the messages are interesting. The dialogue in this game reads like a celebrity twitter feed.
This game is too political
70 challengers are so beautiful
