Well everyone knew that jesse is the new director after her portraits magically replaced those of trench

"Where is my brother Dylan?" "First, you need to complete these physical tasks and come back for a keycard to-" "I ORDER YOU TO TELL ME WHERE MY BROTHER IS." "Oh, the prisoner? He's in the prison, boss." "Thank you."

Design sin wise for me would be the blotchy red that took over your screen when low on health, I know it's meant to be thematic, but it was rather hard to see the red enemies throwing red projectiles in areas with red lighting to denote enemies were near, combined with largely black areas combined with red, it was even harder most of the time.

Was i the only one who looked at the timer and realized:”Holy shit is this first Sin still going?”

When I saw the trailers and the cover for Control, I thought that Jesse looked like the most Laura Bailey looking character ever, but shockingly, Laura Bailey isn't Jesse actress.

Game is called "control" MC becomes head of the company and still has no semblance of control over her life.

I feel like a kid on Christmas whenever dartigan uploads

I really liked Control. It was creative and had a very cinematic feel. I don't disagree with any of your points, but for me the good outweighed the bad.

there's a handful of in-universe for some of the oddities in the game but I guess you could consider it a weak point of you don't read any of the memos. basically the bureau has a perceptive field that causes normal people to ignore the building. you can only see it if you are "selected" to join the bureau. basically, you have to be crazy. take control was by old gods of asgard, not lords of the fallen. there's a secret room that has a song by them playing. I thoroughly enjoyed this game but it's easy to see why you wouldn't enjoy it. despite my enjoyment of the game, I don't typically recommend it to anyone. and yeah Jesse is a very dry character, it felt like she was just a vessel for you to talk to the more interesting supporting cast characters. it's a shame though, the actress did a studio tour of remedy as a promotion for the game and was full of more life and energy in that 10 minute video than the whole game.

How did you not sin Dylan having the next keycard that Jesse needs and her magically getting it even though they don't show him passing it to her. And how would he even be able to do so through the glass of his cell?

So many of these sins were simply explained in the story. "It doesn't serve the narrative" How does it not? The light cord is used because very few people would ever pull the string 3 times in a row. This is why that item went unnoticed for so long. Eventually, they found it and now the feds use it to hide doorways, kinda like a vault. Should it really get a sin just because you put minimal effort into understanding the lore? Why would she demand all answers upfront when this shadow-fed organization kidnapped her brother in the first place? "WOW THE PEOPLE WHO KIDNAPPED MY BROTHER JUST SUDDENLY MADE ME CEO, NOTHING FISHY HERE, BETTER JUST GO DUMB AND TELL THEM EVERYTHING! COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE A TRAP!" Like, why would you NOT question loyalty after all that? "That's not how you talk to your boss." Pretty sure that's the head of security, so in this case, she can talk like that to her boss since it's in regards to everyone's safety. It's literally her only job there. It's sorta the same reason why a CEO can't tell an OSHA guy to just fuck off. It's your channel, your opinion, and I normally agree with you; But SOME of these points just feel weak...

The main character's brother kind of looks and acts like how I would imagine a combination of Jesse Eisenberg and James McAvoy for some reason.

Yeah, I felt like control is the sequel to a Life is Strange-like game that doesn’t exist. (Unless it really was typed by Alan Wake)

I enjoy this channel a shitload and I hope one day you can do every damn game out there because it’s just fun to watch this at work lol. Great to kill time and be entertained simultaneously.

Thank you for bringing some levity to these crazy times, Dartigan. Do Watch Dogs: Legion, please.

A couple of nitpicks/corrections: The Oldest House updates all the portraits of Director Trench to portraits of Director Faden sometime between Jesse picking up Excalibur/The Service Weapon, and you next seeing those portraits (again). Why shouldn't the same update also update all bureau personnel on their new Director? With scale models, while you might stick to a table-top version if you're limited to a single conference room, if you have the space to set up a bigger model with more details, why not? The limiting factors on the value of increasing the scale are how able you are to take in the entire model (or any significant wide features of it) at once, and how fine a detail you're able to replicate from the original (no point making the model bigger if you're not getting any additional details as a result). The, what, 1/10? 1/20? scale model in the game can still be appreciated from overhead, and has a reasonable detail level.

I've been trying to figure out why/ how Pope knew Jesse was the new Director. And then it dawned on me. There is a recording of Pope interviewing Jesse. My guess is Trench made a decision that she would be the new Director after his passing, and telling the bureau about it. And Jesse has memory suppressions of ever talking to her. It's kind of astounding how coy that was because Pope is keeping stuff from Jesse... Her boss

Never heard of control but I feel like the 1st sin will fill me in

I honestly liked this game, i havent played the DLC's yet either and look forward to playing them.

'My name is Legion, for we are many'

I really shouldn't watch EEW for games I've actually played, because it exposes how many things Dartigan apparently just didn't catch. And granted - if you're doing this for a one-off sins video you might not bother tracking down every collectable. However, a lot of the questions he brings up as sins are answered. For instance, the comment about the building not being secured if anyone can walk in. Jesse was able to walk in because Ahti manifested an elevator which doesn't exist. Go back after getting the Service Weapon and you'll find it gone. What was Jesse's plan? Nothing, but Polaris did have one. She stayed with Dylan most of the time, then left him to reconnect with Jesse. There's an audio log of a psych session with her, where Jesse explains that Polaris wants her at the Bureau "at a very specific time." It's also made pretty clear that Polaris does talk, just not in any way that's exposed to the player. Jesse doesn't just assume what Polaris wants, but seems to know, and even gets information from Polaris that she otherwise couldn't have had. Remember - you can't find The Oldest House if you're not looking for it, and the only reason Jesse is looking for it is Polaris. And that's just a few of them. Not to say the video sucks because of it - certainly not. However, it does detract from the experience when questions are presented as "gotchas" when answers to them are often plainly told to the player in no uncertain terms. We're not talking about whether Jesse created the Slide Projector as a few clues allude to, whether Dylan was real or was created, whether Alan Wake came up with the words that the Hiss chant, etc. That's up for debate because the game's coy with the narrative. But other answers are literally told to the player in plain text.

This is one of my favorite games ever. I've been waiting *forever* for you to sin this game.

Whenever Dartigan uploads, it feels like getting your big paycheck after some very long days at work. Whenever GCN uploads, it feels like having your favorite uncle/aunt/grandma/grandpa visiting you once in a while.

14:17 2020 in the biggest nutshell of all time.

In response to a couple of these sins. Sin #4: Jesse only came to The Oldest House in response to Polaris basically telling her that she should. She knew a bit about the Bureau beforehand, but I don't think she fully expected what she found. You could still sin this as "protagonist arrives precisely when they're needed due to plot" though. Sin #9: The noncombatants that the Hiss take over can be seen floating in the air repeating the Mantra. They don't know how to fight, so the Hiss uses them mostly as support. The Hiss likewise knew that the Bureau wouldn't go down without a fight, so it needed soldiers. As for why the Bureau needs that many security guards and field teams... well, they do deal with supernatural monsters, and The Oldest House is both extremely big, can reach other dimensions, and their HQ. Sin #15: While it's never explained properly (and therefore still a sin), it's heavily implied that Polaris somehow got Jesse into The Oldest House. Note how you can't actually return to the opening area of the game. Polaris could get her in, but she can't (or won't) get Jesse out. Sin #25: The Bureau didn't know what it was dealing with. The typical thing to do would be to try to lock down each sector and isolate the threat. However, the lockdown only had the effect of splitting up the remaining Bureau staff, as the Hiss either struck the entire Bureau near-simultaneously, or was simply able to bypass the lockdown. If the latter, it's still possibly a sin; the Bureau should realistically be able to manage most supernatural nonsense, even if this was an Out of Context Problem for them. Sin #29: At first, Jesse didn't trust the Bureau staff... and frankly, she probably realized that the Hiss was some kind of existential threat the first time it tried to take over her mind. It's only after she starts to bond a bit with Pope that she opens up to her about Dylan, and learns that only a couple people would have access to that information. Sin #32: There's two possible explanations: One is that the HRAs have a finite lifespan and need to be replaced. The other is that some people were in safe rooms when the Hiss washed through The Oldest House (either they had a few seconds/minutes to run, or they were just in the right place at the right time). The latter is much more likely, as Dylan later mentions that there would be some human resistance if the Hiss escape to Earth. Sin #36: It's possible that the Hiss have the ability to move through the Oldest House using means that bypass the Firebreaks and the lockdown. Additionally, Dylan is an extremely powerful psychic in his own right. Granted, Remedy never actually shows this, but there's several in-game reports about it. Sin #50: The HRA cell wouldn't stop Dylan from breaking out under his own power (terrifyingly powerful psychic). I assume he wouldn't kill them because he'd either use some weird Hiss power to simply teleport away (Jesse can do something similar), or he'd simply walk out and ignore all the humans. As for why he'd do that... Once he fully unleashed the Hiss and got control of the Board, the Hiss would win. He wouldn't want to kill them since he'd soon be able to possess them after getting out of the Oldest House.

I think this game cannot be judged from a logical perspective. It is like a dream, where you can fly, throw objects, get lost in the corridors of the building, where the janitor is god and no one is surprised at anything and anything can happen somehow. (I really enjoyed this game XD)

Yeah, just got around to playing this one and, wow, that really was a letdown. Especially the ending. How could they spend the entire game teasing a magic slide projector that lets you go into slides, and never use it?? I honestly thought the real ending was another fakeout at first, because I couldn't believe they'd actually go with such an anticlimax for the finale.

The only sin that really connects with me was the ending. I agree with what was said. Nevertheless, I fully enjoyed myself playing this game. So if you haven't played this game, don't just take this as 100% this game sucks. Remember cinema sins and all subgenere channels are satire and the sins are for fun You might like the game

When Ahti spoke at 15:00 I immediately Googled who played him in this game. His accent is the typical Finnish "rally English" accent so that's funny. And the guy who played him, Martti Suosalo, is as a matter of fact, a Finn I would like to know what all you guys who speak English, think about his accent. What does it sound like to you?

Honestly, the Alan Wake expansion explains away a lot of the continuity errors, like how people who haven't met Jesse suddenly know that the Hiss are called the Hiss before meeting her. It's suggested that Alan actually wrote everything that happened in Control into existence. That, coupled with the fact that Alan is kindof a hack ripoff of Stephen King, explains a lot of the plot contrivances. The reason they say Polaris is very powerful is that the Oldest House is literally not able to be perceived by people who don't already know its there. Jesse managed to find it despite this.

"awkward friend with self esteem issues" lol basically me

Matthew Porretta (Dr. Darling) is only voiced Alan Wake. The physical model is Ilkka Villi.

Control has enjoyable gameplay, especially as you unlock more skills and upgrades for the guns...this surrounds a potentially interesting story executed in the dullest manner possible. Kinda like a package of socks wrapped up in the most colorful Christmas paper ever conceived.

I like how I can enjoy dart ripping into a game whilst simultaneously loving said game

The thing about the Bureau is that if you don't know about it you won't be able to find it so... why sins for doors being just opened ?

I fall asleep to these. So when he uploads i know its time to watch some dart and ko

15:07 That song is AWESOME.. but after I died a million times and had to listen to it over and over again, it got old FAST!!

Never even heard of this game until someone said it was amazing in a group I’m in....anytime someone hyped a game up I always see if Dartigan made a video because they’re so honest lol

You know what. I gotta defend this game a little. I agree that it's a little complex and boring at times, but PLEASE give it a shot. The actual gameplay and combat is very unique and addictive. In my opinion, sometimes having fun playing the game is more important than the game's story. I also think the world and enemies are pretty interesting and diverse.

Just doesn't sound like his type of game. I thought it was great

Ok look, that fan fiction about jarjar being a sith lord? Come on!!! Either way I laughed so hard at that because of how meta it is

Correction to sin 5: all the tech inside the Bureau is several decades behind current technology due to how working for the government works.

Still one of my favorite games this gen and of my favorite games of all time now, even though the story makes no sense to me lol.

Love this game. Well written and full of mysteries.

With all the debacle about Control's Ultimate Edition for the PS5, the publisher might be suffering from a case of SCP-4560.

If you’re wondering why Remedy isn’t financially collapsing, let me remind you of a little nugget of trivia you may have forgotten: ...Sonic the Hedgehog is still alive. It clearly doesn’t matter whether you make good games, bad games, or even smash hits.

I actually never heard of SCP Foundation until I saw this video. Played Control a while ago and beat it. I love that game though.

"music is sparse in control, but whenever combat begins you get to listen to what sounds like the opening drum solo of a disturbed song" This should definitely be a sin off I love Disturbed

Playing this game on a steam deck now that it's discounted and my god, it has the most insufferable autosave system ever created If you fall off a ledge, it restarts you across the entire map and spawns enemies behind you Who designed this

6:56 if you saw this as a sin then you didn't understand the story and the nature of the oldest house, or just didn't read all the papers in the game, hell even if you didn't there is a video by Dr Kasper that reveals the nature of the oldest house that it is not visible by the physical eye and the lock down is in effect long before Jessie came she could enter this place because of Polaris and atti

6:52 I feel like this sin can be easily explained by the janitor who as you stated in the beginning is basically god of tge oldest house. He simply let jessie in at the start with some room manipulating so we never Actual got to see what a real lock down looks like from a non main character point of view. Plus the oldest house kinda has a aura surrounding it to keep people from entering so the actual front doors being locked or not dont matter.

Oh, I thought you would sin Amnesia: Rebirth, Dartigan.

One of my favorite things to do for this channel is to guess how long it takes to read the first sin. I guessed 1:07. I was way off. It was 1:26, possibly a new record.

Physically speaking Pope kind of reminds me of Fragile.

I wish the sins were actually, ya know, issues. It seems like a lot of the takes on this channel are actually explained in game but he ignores this for more (for lack of a better term) clickbait sins. I mean, even sinning the title? What else could Control really be called? Polaris? Oldest house? Nah. Every level of the game is fundamentally about control. Control points aren't called that because lends to the title, the title lends to the game. Jesse has to learn control over herself, her feelings, ambitions, the hiss, polaris, the staff, and the oldest house itself. It's just sad to see someone who didn't pay enough attention pretend like the game is majorly flawed. It isn't. It's one of the better games I've ever played.

I can’t be the only one who finds it hard to take any cutscenes seriously while looking at Jesses’ over-protruding chin.

Lol. I haven't played any Remedy game before this, but I bloody love Control!

Wait, i thought Control is more like just a "Playable Benchmark"

even if the story wasn't that amazing, the atmosphere was great and i mainly loved the gameplay for the gameplay, jessie's super power were super fun to use all around

I get personal preference in games arent the same but if a game is of great quality, even if its not of a genre of game you enjoy; it takes a really deluded person to consider it shitty. I knew this segment was gonna be full of BS. However I expected the reasons to be that theres too much knickpicking happening to justify this segment's length. Goin in, I didnt expect that a good portion of the sins would be based on the fact that the critic didnt understand the game. Especially details from said game that are spelt out. Ie: In the very beginning, its established that Jesse has been looking for the Bureau for a long time but its only because of Polaris that she found it because the building is hidden from those who arent purposefully looking for it & as Jesse is an outsider, she wouldnt know where to look on her own. That said, Jesse and Pope (who btws, you got confused with Marshall); both realized that to get into the lobby, Polaris helped get past the lockdown. However, the elevator you go in to get leave the lobby sector, that only opened up after talking with Ahti which means, he also helped get you past the lockdown too. Something he does again when you first head to Maintenance Sector. Yet in spite of this bein spelt out, the critic questions why the Hiss didnt escape the Bureau when it was a walk in the park for Jesse to get in. And that is just one example. I could list others like how the Ordinary AWE had multiple dimensional trips involved before the projector was turned off & afterwards; that the entire dump landfill from the town (which the model was of the majority of and made in such a way to see the different sections effected by the AWE and what would be effected by what degree & thus is of a good size); had their own wings in Containment Sector; and Pope's boss bein on later expeditions would also give plenty of reason why she'd know of that AWE. Her knowledge of which, you questioned in spite of it too bein spelt out ect. Point is, dont review & sin something without having a good nough understanding of it. All in all, this segment is full of shoddy reviewing work & knickpickery to justify a longer length than it actually needed for an excellent game which you cant seem to get that in spite of different taste, doesnt mean its bad. And thus , your credibility as a reviewer plummeted. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

I just finished this game and it's dlc and I had a good time, now while I'm not the biggest reader I really enjoyed going through all the files you can pick up. I looked it up and I unlocked about 98% of them they each told some good stories. Now I can't just wipe out all your sins and it's clear you didn't have a good time but I just want to clarify these 2: 6:49 and 10:55 Normal people can't even see the building, just finding the entrance was because of Polaris. I suppose most people missed this but you're actually walking in a circle untill you meet up with Athi the supernatural janitor and he actually lets Jesse in and leads her right to the Service Weapon.

I feel like no one played this game

How is sin 3 even a thing? Everybody reacts differently to the same thing. There are tons of studies that prove it.

I absolutely love CONTROL. It definitely has its faults don't get me wrong but it's a darn good game though I do think control has way too many obvious likeness to quantum break. I think remedy should make a new Alan wake next, then could do a cross over game that has Jesse and Alan wake. As for some of the sins, for example the sin for how Jesse becomes the director is technically incorrect. The gun chooses the director. Tons of people have attempted to become the director and the gun basically kills who it thinks isn't worthy. Jesse of course doesn't know this, she is just a pawn of the gun (all of this is in several different records) also your comment about how it's pointless to get more HRA since people who weren't wearing them during the attack are already turned is not correct, the safe rooms protected people from the hiss apparently so they could give people who have either outrun the hiss or hidden in safe rooms hra but it isn't necessarily black and white if the safe rooms truly can protect people from the hiss. I do fully agree though with some of the sins though like how does everyone know she's the knew director already when no type of announcement is made, or how Jesse's character is a bit bland which is true in my opinion. I like her character but she is definitely bland. The whole motel situation is a missed opportunity for the writers for control, its a neat situation and fits with the whole weirdness and randomness for the game but ya, having to ring a bell couple times and just move a chair and photo is lazy. They could have done a lot more, made it a harder puzzle or something. I agree that Jesse's back story with her town "ordinary" would make a good game, though I don't think it would have been better than control but would make a great prequel or massive dlc/expansion. Still, your video has good points, I enjoyed it.

Actors from Quantum Break feeling left out? Except Courtney Hope of course.

Oh happy day! Love this game can't wait to finish this video

Sir, being gifted with that ``moderator dude voice´´ means that such games are fuel for your channel! 😉

Last time I was this early, the Oldest House was new

I get the feeling you don't like Remedy. Also don't see why POTF got a sin.

You should definitely do Little Hope! That twist ending was....ugh and the characters were all so flat

Just some constructive criticism. I notice most of your sins about inconsistencies can be explained if you read the files that are laying around and are sometimes so easy to grab as you pass by. It seems you only use the information that's handed to you on a silver platter. Of coarse you're going to be confused about the story if you don't pay any attention. I know sins videos are just nitpicking but if you simply pick up a file that are sometimes shoved down your throat and read it itll tell you exactly how these things work. Its to give a little mystery to it that you the player are discovering the game worlds secrets. I also noticed this about your Evil Within videos.

Was waiting for this.

A couple of kids in the dreary town of Ordinary find an old projector and awaken horrors from another dimension only they can stop. This sounds like a FAR more awesome game premise than exploring a building and shooting radio zombies while talking to yourself.

Alan Wake's voice actor is the same as Dr Darling's actor. But Wake's physical model is an entirely different person who probably doesn't speak English that well.

There is nothing wrong with Control. According to Kotaku and IGNorance...

A lot of these things are just obviously part of the mysterious nature of the building. Expecting things to work normally or however you expect them to when they're based on SCP of all things is pretty stupid.

Dont let this weird depiction of this game sway you, Control is absolutely incredible.

This game was so.....weird.

4:24 They don't need to, seeing as how until someone told me they were played by the same actor I didn't actually realise they were

7:50 does Dartigans play sesions always look so laggy when he plays this game ?

I Platinumed this slog and loved every second

Sin 1: I think the foundation is just as interesting as the SCPs themselves, but more importantly, you're giving the game a sin for not being subtle when taking inspiration from something, that alone would be fine, but then you go on a long can't about how they make it obvious that people should be going to the source of their inspiration instead, as to imply that this game is not a worthwhile experience, and considering how many people like this game, I'm guessing you're wrong. Sin 2: there is absolutely nothing wrong with calling this game "control" because it ties into the plot of the game, you are criticizing a game for doing something that makes sense. Sin 3: so is the problem that the magical ghost friend is not funny or entertaining? I thought this game had a serious tone, the ghost doesn't need to be funny, it just needs to contribute to the plot in a meaningful way, and you aren't criticizing it for not doing it. Sin 4: the game can do both, narration isn't a bad thing, in fact if we went with the show don't tell logic, we have to consider how this is a game, which has another aspect that show don't tell doesn't account for, and it's story telling through gameplay, if we said that telling in movies was objectively bad, then having non interactive moments like cutscenes could also be considered bad in games because they should tell the story in an interactive way, and don't go telling me that's impossible when half life exists. Point is, showing and telling can be combined without making the story worse. Sin 7: multiple characters in a game being voiced by the same actor does not need to be explained, at all. Maybe this was supposed to be a joke, and if so, it sucks. Sin 13: they didn't wait, what happened was a method in story telling where time is stopped while you listen to the characters thoughts. Sin 14: so she has a ghost in her head, and she has established character motivation that you mentioned at the start of this video, but somehow she's indistinguishable from a silent protagonist. Sin 19: since disturbed songs are awesome, this is not a bad thing. Sin 25: maybe Jessie deduced that already and didn't feel like it needed to be brought up, since the guy was helping her. Sin 38: the hiss probably adopted the name for themselves.

This game was awesome. Period. You will know how good this game is just by firing the first bullet! Its so satisfying trust me! Who doesn't like a gun which has 6 different modes. This game was like the movie Matrix but even better. This guy just had to make a video so he did. Loved every thing about. 1. Levitating so pleasing 2. Service gun is so satisfying with all the 6 modes including the base one. 3.Controlling enemies as your allies is so good. 4. And boss fights are so good it actually scares you. 5. And you can distroy pretty much everything. 6 The world is big and monochromatic. Loved this and still have it on my pc with other game like - Dmc5, FFXV, MHW, MGS5. And soon God of Was 2018 is gonna be there too.

Jus give me Alan wake already, that really is 1 of the best story driven game I've ever played. I couldn't put it down. It draws you in to play more. That's the sign of a great game

To each their own. It was my GOTY last year. And that was a year that had Sekiro in it.

Dartigan, my bro; you have my respect. And that is something even PewDiePie doesn't have

5:40 - well, Jessie Feyden was already groomed as a potential next director, so higher ups may at least know of her, plus all active director images "updated" throughout the Oldest House. 8:00 Motel was amusing to me, since it was a kind of omage to a number multi-dimensional hubs like in The Lost Room, Rough Draft (by Sergei Lukyanenko), etc.

That first sin was 1/8 of the video😭

"Lewis guns were either mounted to a vehicle or fixed on the ground and fired from a prone position" Battlefield 1 (and V) support players: singing a seven nation army couldn't hold me back while firing with lewis gun while moving like a boss...

longest first sin in the history of dartigan sins

After a minute and half of inane babbling to reach the first sin. This video is a strong argument for brevity is the soul of wit. Also I imagine Remedy stays afloat because of subsidies from the Finnish government.

Being more demanding than Cyberpunk 2077 and looking like that.

Watch Dogs Legion for next Sin Video. Little Hope will be dessert.

Old Gods of Asgard actually made the theme song for this game, not Poets of the Fall

14:17 sums up my opinion of Control.

Dartigan...it's "tongue-in-cheek" not "tongue and cheek" come on man!

That JarJar sith lord reference had me crying

If you didn't take a sin off for Fear of a Blank Planet in the credits I'm gonna be disappointed

The closest developers Microsoft have to make single-player narrative games

SCP THE GAME
