Yeah just like how most people would act in real life

If he was smart and had a choice, there wouldn't be much of a game. Not that there really is anyway.

@@weezact7 now child of Dagon release him and shatter this reality Nah

All part of the plan... I mean dream.

Wdym? Him awaking from his millennia long slumber to complain for a sec and then walk away to go get a coffee or something is perfectly in character. Who are we to judge the actions of the great old one?

@@alexguymon7117 usually glimpsing upon him grants us knowledge that shouldn't be unknown, however, all I feel is the lust for dat ass of his. That is entirely the wrong vibe

Is really out of Character... The Crawling Chaos is the one who likes to chat, generally.

@@notme9804 Cthulhu is infamous for his bitchy attitude and thunder thighs. Girl boss hours

Sure, I get what you mean, but Cthulhu does have the ability to speak. It's just that it's in an unknowable, unfathomable language not speakable by tongues of mortals. It's really difficult to put that in a video game, you know.

Is video game sickness as bad if you’re the one playing the game and controlling the movement?

@@RobFlavell Depends. Camera perspective can affect a lot. I have friends that palying in third person makes them sick. Others, is about playing or watching. Guess there are different types.

More like: "What part of the Cthulhu mythos do you want to include in the game" The Shore Developers: "Just these notes I skimmed off wikipedia"

Nyarlthotep wanted us to free Dagon and Cthulu for...some reason. Because he's a bro? Idk. I'm pretty sure plot wasn't something the developers were overly concerned with. This whole game really just felt like an excuse for them to show off the models they animated. To be fair, they are VERY nice models. Very nice visuals overall, really, but they should have just made a short film.

Where they're both very… 6:30

As someone commented on the last video, it's like they're using the looks and names of the characters but not really the characters themselves. Cthulhu speaks in a language nobody understands wich drives you mas upon hearing it.

@@muisverriet I think “the board” from control does the idea a lot better, they speak to you in this garbled voice that you can make out just a few words of with very strange subtitles, it makes them feel far more alien than anything in this game really manages.

from what I remember I thought Dagon was just a big fish dude

@@thewingedporpoise yes but he isn’t JUST a big fish dude, that’s what I’m trying to say. Like Cthulhu does look like how he’s modelled in the game, but I feel it fails to portray the experience of coming into contact with these things

@@Emperorhirohito19272 I thought a guy just found some carvings and got creeped out and maybe saw a fish man, yeah I know Cthulhu is a horror beyond horrors, but that's different to my understanding of Dagon

the animations really sold it. So lifelike, like a crippled mentally handicapped sea turtle trying to crawl to the ocean

Biblically-accurate Fairy Godmother

@@ComXDude Hahaha. That is an amazing way to phrase that. Well played.

@@PierceArner In hindsight, it's would've been even better if I spelled it "faerie," due to the different connotations of the words. However, now that I think about it, I'm not sure most people would be able to appreciate that detail.

did you not watch the previous episode ? His title was already mentioned

@@goldcreeper7376 was it? Oh right, I think I vaguely remember, was it crawling chaos?

its more like he finds them amusing than useful. isn't he just a minor god that broke the 4th wall, realized everything is meaningless and acted as a trickster god to entertain himself and stave of the nihilism?

@@kodaxmax yeah, pretty much. He's the messenger for the outer gods, and is the mouthpiece between them and the cults. He's the only one that supposedly speaks the languages of mortals, so typically if there is an elder god speaking to a mortal it's really Nyarlathotep.

@@argentandroid5732 in that case, isn't there a chance the cthulu we see here is just him in disguise for whatever reason?

i agree completely. half of this game felt really cool and the other half felt like an edgy 15 year old writing about gangsters the good parts were *good* though. i dont often get creeped out but those twitchy heads in that one hallway... eueueghgh delightfully spookumsed

What preoccupies Cthuhlu? Just chillin about in space somewhere?

@@CrossBreedTacoHD He is trapped in the underwater city of R'lyeh (located in the South Pacific Ocean), sleeping until the day he is to be set free.

@@leetri Sounds pretty boring and he is located on earth, why doesn't he see the benefit that humans potentially provide? When I think of cosmic god boy, I don't think of "city builder/dweller", so I suspect it was humans that trap him there as well. Seems pretty silly to just ignore them when you have nothing better to do. And its not like humans don't notice ants, and its not like humans are ants, we are several lvls of "sentience" above every other animal on earth, and have the aptitude to build, invent, destroy, research, w/e else a god may need us to do. There is just no way we would be left unnoticed, even by a god, imo. Just my thoughts, I understand the point of showing off how immeasurable Cthulhu is and how insignificant we are, just doesn't make much sense if he is trapped somewhere on earth, against his will, by humans I assume, and doesn't see the benefit of them, to the point where he doesn't acknowledge their existence.

I myself have specifically chosen to speak to animals and insects like I would with other humans so... that point of yours doesn't hold water. Though you're right, Cthulhu - or honestly, any and all Cthulhu/Lovecraftian lore - cannot be adapted *"PROPERLY"* into any other medium like a game (and IMO even movies/shows), and even other writing besides actual Lovecraftian writing - but even then it's still not done *"PROPERLY"*. Properly, key word, meaning capturing how it is all supposed to be incomprehensible and nihilistic and no one can understand any of it and it's all for nothing because big unimaginable gods will just literally destroy everything at the end, yadda yadda. To create a Lovecraftian game, the developers must and should take any and all liberties and creative freedoms they want to create their own story and version of Lovecraft horror. Otherwise, it will just feel like a crazy, difficult to follow, nonsensical, weird in a bad way experience - which you might say is how it is supposed to be, *but that's not fun nor does it make for a good video game*. For me, I WANT to experience these Lovecraftian gods and learn about them in such a game. Fuck, if my character is supposedly something akin to a chosen one or whatever, I'd want him to have dialogue between a god or two. I'd want to experience Lovecraft, not just immediately have my character go mad or die, or have one of the most important or big characters within the lore just make a one second appearance and then is gone "because it's so above humans" or whatever. Plus it seems to me in every single one of these Lovecraftian games - some entity or greater power influences a human or humans to do their dirty work and release them and other gods and otherworldly powers. So, humans have some importance obviously. If humans didn't have any importance, then what would be the point in creating a game base in Lovecraft and having your character be human? They apparently have no relevance, right? At least to Cthulhu. I'm sure - like in this story - if Cthulhu was awoken by a mortal human and that mortal human was holding some sacred, extremely powerful artefact that no human should be able to hold, he'd notice and address it. Also, there are games and a game can have you NOT feel important or have that "larger machinations of the universe" feel. It's doable. You could even do it with a Lovecraftian story, albeit you the player and the character then would not really experience much Lovecraftian stuff since all the important and big stuff would be happening without your character being involved in the slightest. But there in lies the issue - the dread existential horror that Cthulhu and other lovecraftian gods and lore represents - supposedly. If that is the case, and it is looked down upon to change that for your game or own story, then what would be the point of making a game? Your character is just going to die at the end - right? Humans and the universe loses because it's destroyed or whatever - right? You can't do anything to stop the events - right? Can't influence the gods or otherworldly beings at all - right? The story is already written and known basically - right? It's just going to have some twists with original characters made by the devs put in for the game but then end in a very predictable way - right? Well, that might work for a very small niche of people. However, most people play game to have some influence in what happens in the game based on their input. Most people play a game to have fun, enjoy the experience, even "win" - whether that being winning a competitive match, or winning in a story. Because they do want to have that feel of importance, of wonder, of curiosity, of power, of feeling, of fantasy. So, at least for me, if Cthulhu can apparently never ever ever ever ever speak with the protagonist or another human in a Lovecraftian game's story because there's this supposed rule dictating that, then... frankly I don't really care for the story then or Cthulhu. Seems pretty boring. I'd much prefer a story that builds upon the lovecraftian world and characters and allows me to have influence somehow someway over the events of the story, and possibly in the end, somehow overcome the evil and monstrosity and existential dread horror of Cthulhu and the rest - or fail to do so, depending on my choices in the game and whatnot. That sounds way more fun, and it would enable the character and the player to delve deeper into the Lovecraftian universe - which these games rarely ever do really, at least in any meaningful way. I'm often left wanting after watching Tom and friend play one of these games.

Not a good idea to name someone after a god. Very very bad idea. That's like naming a boat after a boat that done sank.

@@cheshirehat8355 as long as they don't name you after zeus. That guy did soke questionable stuff

At times dreams can be more real then reality itself.... Unless what we call reality is just dreaming, and when we sleep we're really awake....

the meat pit was very creepy cool

When I first saw darkwood on Tom's channel I wasn't a fan, but after watching Tom's play it like 6 times I felt like I had to experience its atmosphere for myself. Love darkwood immensely now.

He already did like a year ago
