Hey guys! We wanted to apologize for the mispronunciation joke we made about Dinga Bakaba. We purposely mispronounce all kinds of stuff on this channel as a running gag, usually to poke fun at my own ignorance about the gaming industry and it’s many many words to remember. Thanks for helping us understand why it didn’t work this time because the last thing we’d ever want to do is make anyone feel unwelcome here. Love you bye!

The “ can I kick it” trailer is really cool, thank you

I love this game because the NPCs make me feel like Einstein

"Hol' up a minute" is back!

Matt's been seating on that Malcolm in the middle clip for awhile lol

Seeing Arkane get perfect 10s for Deathloop is like seeing DiCaprio get an Oscar for the Revenant. They deserved it for their previous, better works, but I'll take this.

god I love the Austin Powers edits, the nostalgia is real

I was hopeful you’d talk about how **GREAT** the voice acting is in this. I absolutely love Colt and Julianna’s banter and how much they get under each other’s skin, and the delivery of Colt’s lines especially. I sat there for 2 minutes listening to him guess a password at a door while he just said words like “galvanize” and “spittoon” (he really likes that word). They’re probably my favorite part of the whole game. I agree that I wish they gave us a little bit more freedom in discovering the perfect loop ourselves but I think they also realized that 90% of us are idiots that would never figure it out, go right to KZfaq instead, and then just do the perfect loop and not experience any of the game. Maybe they could have randomized it to each copy like they did with the codes so you can’t just copy a code from the internet for a safe in your game. I also think it would be smart if they allowed Julianna to invade at any point in time in any Colt player’s game, instead of only the first part of the day. That would make for a much more exciting and nerve-wracking experience knowing she could show up at any point and blow that perfect loop. At least, make it a setting. That way they wouldn’t have to search for a player about to start the morning segment and can just plug you into the next available player that’s beginning any section at any time of the day, and would dramatically increase the speed of getting into a game. But I’m a big fan of her as a player mechanic and have had some good players really wreck my shit, haha.

Aw man! That "there won't be any fireworks" after that set up with Mabel was funny! Hahahahahaha! XD

"You're not even the best drummer in the Beatles." It's true. I've sunk 13 hours into Deathloop, and while it's good... I reinstalled Prey a week ago, and that's where I've been spending most of my gaming hours. Deathloop is a solid 7 out of 10.

I appreciate the "Ringo's not even the best drummer in The Beatles" reference. Beautiful. For those unaware: it was allegedly John Lennon's response when asked if Ringo Starr was the best drummer in the world.

i absolutely LOVED the environment of this game and the way the characters talked to each other. Aleksis’s “congratulations on getting invited, guys” and Frank’s “ive been punching clocks at eight. Fuckers.” are the two that come to mind immediately

I've seen the "Can i kick it?" meme a thousand times already between the deathloop discord and subreddit but it's still just as funny

You know a game is good when Dunkey makes a 6 minute video just about the kicking aspect.

my fiancé and i were just thinking “what do we do today”. thanks for the answer, shelby and matt

the kicking montage had me in stitches. the editing continues to be so nerdy and excellent

Death loop sounds like a name for when you get really sick and have turn around on the toilet to switch from puking and crapping and back

Oh yeah, when I saw that the game was full of story-driven collectables I thought to myself "Oh yeah, the couple from girlfriend reviews will hate that" I mean, they didn't even read the ones in Control haha

Y'all still haven't played the best Groundhog Day game before you kill the trope. Check out Outer Wilds, it's a true 10!

I really enjoyed this game. Kind of like Prey: Mooncrash for dummies. EDIT OK, maybe "for dummies" was a bit harsh... maybe describing it as being "streamlined" is more diplomatic.

You guys are fantastic. I showed my girlfriend one of your videos and she tells me "this is way I don't play video games because you enjoy playing them and I get to be the peanut gallery and the audience." You are the first channel I've ever hit the bell for, and you guys deserve every subscribers you have, content is always witty and hilarious, jokes and meme cut aways are masterpieces, and new vocabulary I've add to my life. Great work 👏

The old and good Girfriend Reviews' style, amazing writing, editing, interpretation, critical and funny, I dig it.

I subbed after two minutes. Your writing and production quality is absolutely incredible. I can't believe you only have 1m subs... Keep up the great work!

My goodness, this channel's comedic timing, meme game, and editing game are only getting better! AMAZING!

“Bioshock in the 60s” is pretty accurate lol

I appreciate the A Tribe Called Quest reference, that was well played lol

The moment when youtube plays a "deathloop" ad, after watching a video about a game about deathloops: "shit's getting real meta, now! 😵🙀

Damn, Matt's pretty good at this. I haven't seen anyone make the gameplay look this cool yet

I highly recommend turning off the objective markers. Makes you feel super big brain once you figure stuff out yourself. Personally, it's my second favorite game of the year.

I've got like 50 hours in. Haven't read many notes and have actively not even tried to solve the loop. I just like jumping in the game and killing everybody. It's the simple pleasures in life... Seriously though, it's a great game. The multiplayer is really a fun cat and mouse affair. The world is detailed and immersive. There are plenty of minor puzzles you can solve for big brain moments. It's also fun just figuring out what exactly is going on there. The main quest is a little too hand holdy but that's OK. Maybe it's not a masterpiece like a Zelda game or Red Dead Redemption but it is a masterful representation of what it is.

Exceptional editing! I don't comment much but I'm just so impressed. In my opinion, the best editing of any gaming channel on KZfaq, period. Extremely impressive (plus the commentary is hilarious).

a masterpiece? maybe not. but it was such a good time to play through and as a big dishonoured fan it was great to be able to play a similar game without those pesky mana restrictions, that really frees up the gameplay for me. biggest negative for me would be the lack of interactions with your targets. we really should have had dialogue with them so we care a bit more because at some point they felt more like lootboxes than actual interesting characters. so for me in terms of numbers out of ten it would probably be a 8,7 really good but with some flaws.

Disappointed that there's one mandatory solution to the game. I was hoping it would be a world-sized, dishonored-style puzzle box

I swear, your choice in clips from movies or tv shows to go with your reviews have become so good. They’ve always been a great part of your videos, to be honest.

I'm still giggling at your "can I kick it" trailer 10 min later. Hilarious!

Love it!!!! Excited for the behind the scenes video too

editing only improves, congratulations narration and script too

From everything I've seen, this looks like the perfect game to get on a discount. Like the type of discount where I could say "Batman: Arkham City for $5? What a bargain!" but applied to Deathloop.

These videos are so well edited; keep up the good work

Welcome back!!! (crowd cheers) look forward to seeing your content.

I really enjoyed the game more once I removed all the markers from the hud. Made the experience much better

Please review - Kena: Bridge of Spirits I'm playing it now and loving it, would like to see how you guys like it?!

I honestly love y'alls videos. They make 10 minutes of my day very happy. Thanks for that😁

Lmao the “can I kick it” launch trailer

Random but kind of suprised mass effect LE hasn't been covered yet. I mean that is the most story based game out there and there are an insane amount memes about it given its history.

"Shut up, baby! I know it!" - thats my text message alert tone lol bender is the shit. Only narrowly losing out to prof farnsworth for the best

Oh man the ‘there won’t be any fireworks’ killed me

I love this and I love you guys. Please do a review of the PlayStation showcase like you did last year. There was so much cool stuff

Lmfao, Matt’s editing is the best. 1:35 - *Cutscenes and graphics not included. What a savage.

Play outer wilds! It has a similar idea of a loop that you have to solve a specific puzzle to beat, but it makes you feel like you actually have to figure it out and piece the puzzle together rather than giving you the solutions. Amazing game

Fantastic video. "Bill Murray Fart Car" totally got me. Half way through Deathloop I started to feel burnt out. So I decided to play through each area at each time of day to just explore. That was honestly when the game really clicked for me. Reminds me of Metroid Fusion in that way since they tell you where to go for much of the game only to give you a further expanded space to play. At some point you just want to play the game by your own rules and that totally works here.

The reading rainbow part made me die laughing 😂

The Austin powers really took me back. Absolutely fantastic.

“From the developers who brought you Bioshock in London and Bioshock in space” No wonder I love Arkane.

luv the Aki&Popo cameo that one came outta nowhere i see Matt is a man of real deeeeeeep culture

The episode of stargate SG1 "window of opportunity" could be a great source of new groundhog day memes for future videos

Arkane deserves the success with Deathloop, they already created underappreciated cult-classics.

Deathloops gameplay is almost perfect. Almost

“World changing decisions in dishonored” was the most comedic part of the video😂

This is a hilarious and informative review. My first comment on your stuff... but I was awaiting a realistic review after the hype and lack of quality games this year. I mean girlfriend review!

Awesome review! Thank you so much to the both of you who are honest reviewers and not bias. And thank you as well for the skillshare free 1 month trial! More power to you guys!

You two should absolutely cover kena bridge of the spirits. It's not getting a lot of traction & seams to be right up your alley

Your editing is just out of this world!!

The setup and payoff off that batman clip is why you guys are so great

Deathloop is amazing, I feel like this vid kinda skimmed over loads of things about the game that make it fun to play 😅

Review scores are always subjective. Also, a 10 for one title doesn’t mean it’s the same experience as another title. I love BOTW (which is a 10/10 for me) but there’s other games I enjoyed just as much that weren’t as weighty of a title (Journey and Tearaway come to mind). To me, those other titles gave me an experience I would never forget and I enjoy the experience. I like ACG’s scale because it takes out the 1-10 scale and make it more about someone’s enjoyment at the current cost of entry. Anyway, well done video but it felt too heavy handed to prove how Deathloop didn’t deserve a score someone else gave it. 🤷🏾‍♂️

"You're not even the best drummer in The Beatles" ouch! Writing and editing in Girlfriend Reviews are always top notch as usual. 10/10

always look forward to your videos. u 're so funny!!

This isnt a review of backseat gamer this is a normal review.

I truly and honestly hope this video doesn’t contribute to the death of my favorite AAA genre…

Hooray you’re back!!!!!!! Great to see u again.

The "can you kick it" trailer was hilarious 😂

I’m just happy we got girlfriends reviews 😄

Me: eagerly searching up if deathloop is on ps4 nooooooo also me: realizing it gonna be realised to xbox next year woooooo.

That Bioshock in London joke made me laugh so hard. This whole video is quality. Love you guys

I discovered you guys with the LOTR 1 video and then watched ALL of your videos from start to here. Liked and commented “GOAT” on every one. Now I’m sad cause I’m all caught up and have to wait for more. Hurry up GOAT!

This is amazing and I love it. And I even loved Deathloop. Keep up the great work!

See…this is why I come to Girlfriend Reviews. Y’all cut through the hype and really dig down into whether it’s worth playing something or not. The purported concept of Deathloop got me excited, but hearing that it works nothing like what they hyped it up to be has me not regretting I didn’t pick it up. Excited for the behind the scenes video!

You guys make my day 10 times better I just love your videos love u 💕

Your editing is causing me to binge all your reviews

I'm still sad we wont get a conclusion of LoTR series.

Oh man what perfect editing, "there will be no fireworks" had me in tears lol man those movies are good, but I just can't take Bales Batman seriously anymore haha

Another great video, a tip to next skillshare promo: film you using what you have learned in the cutting class, it would be very funny

The trailer y'all created gives a better representation of the game! Most honest trailer I've seen in a while! Wish it was the real one

As a huge Arkane fan, I'm really happy that their games are finally being recognized for the masterpieces they are, but...I agree with the video, Deathloop isn't their best game (that honor belongs to Prey and its Mooncrash expansion). There's only one way to take out all the visionaries and the game spells it out for you. I even turned off all the quest markers to increase my immersion in being able to piece it together myself but the game is still constantly handholding you through the leads. Prey: Mooncrash requires FAR more strategic planning and execution on how you're going to pull off the perfect "escape" and the game does not handhold at ALL. Deathloops' level design is also not as diverse as Dishonored. Once you play the 4 maps a handful of times, you've likely already found all the secrets. The "fun" comes in the invasion mechanic and exploiting your knowledge of the level design as Julianna to repeatedly kill Colt (which is something that they definitely nailed), but outside of that, the game's replayability abruptly hits a wall after some 20 hrs. In contrast, I played Dishonored 1/2/Death of the Outsider and Prey for 60+ hrs until I felt I had found and done everything. I really like Deathloop and its overall concept + tone, but it's definitely not 10/10. 8/10 would be my rating, maybe 8.5 if it didn't randomly crash and freeze occasionally (yes even on PS5).

I definitely have some empathy for the simplicity in the final loop and the waypoints and all that. They had endlessly open gameplay in Dishonored and Prey and people didnt buy those games.

2:37 NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! DAMNIT, that's the ONE thing I was really worried about for this game.

Thank you for another quality video! I really enjoyed watching this one

The thing I love most about Deathloop, apart from the mystery element, is its by far Arkanes most marketed game, so it will hopefully lead people to Arkanes other masterpieces such Prey and the Dishonored series, which would be amazing

Well i really did enjoy the game. Even enough to platin it on ps5. And there are many ways to kill the targets on different ways but it is true that it's kind of a bummer that there is only one way to kill them all in one loop. Still a hell of a great game imo. Not a 10/10 but maybe a 8 ir even 9/10

I missed you guys! Can't wait for LotR P2!

Y’all know all the audiologs and documents have very handy summaries right

Its not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination. But I think its a really good game. I've only been playing in single player but I've had a hell of a time wirh deathloop.

I think its funny how players will complain about a fixed narrative, and then when given the directors chair will realise they're crappy story tellers and wish for a fixed story again.

EEEEEEE!!! I LOVE THE MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE REFERENCE AT 3:30!

"Actual random frame in the title sequence"!? You rickrolled me hard on that one...

as far as I'm concerned, this video is just an endorsement for me to finally play Prey.

play outerwild, just trust me on this one

if the had put A Tribe Called Quest in thd trailer I might have actually bought this. Great video ss always!

The Tribe Called Quest reference was great!
