Silok being caught up with his Jackbox reviews feels surreal.

i think Weapons Draw could really do with a sequel, because a lot of things could easily be tweaked and fixed to make an overall great experience.

@quarentman5100 11 ай бұрын

I completely agree, specifically with the whole prompt thing not needing to be that, I feel like that straight up breaks the game.

@@quarentman5100 i think it'd be cool if instead of just being given a prompt at random, everyone is told to answer a question and the answer they give will turn out to be someones weapon

Good review! I pretty much agree with anything said here! Only thing I'd say is that I feel like the absurd Poll Mine questions are apart of the charm. It'd be way easier to guess your friends choices if the questions were *too* sensible imo, so making them absurd or weird is to force you to really think what people mightve chosen. This is especially noticeable with the zombie apocalypse one, if "Target" or "Home Depot" were options, then it'd be obvious what the clear answer would be. However, making the answers weird and hard to justify like "Bed Bath & Beyond" and "Hot Topic" forces you to really think why someone would justify one location over another

@silokhawk 11 ай бұрын

Thanks! Regarding Poll Mine: You'd be surprised how much opinions differ when playing the game _(at least for games in online groups)._ For the question shown at 13:55 the #1 answer ended up being _"pretty cringe"_ which I didn't vote for at all; I can't even count how many final rounds I've done where the opposite team keeps choosing the same option over and over unaware that nearly everyone on the opposing team voted for it. If you play with a group of people that all share the same set of opinions, I can see how someone would want more obscure answers; But from my own past experiences, it just creates situations where everyone is in the dark continually guessing wrong doors.

@mariosin3256 11 ай бұрын

I extremely agree. I think Poll Mine might be my favorite in the series

@pizus4823 11 ай бұрын

@@silokhawk Yea that's fair! I guess it just really depends on how well you know your groups opinions. I didn't really consider that having more standardized and logical questions helps a lot more in online settings, that makes a lot of sense

Quick Note - I'm pretty sure that in Weapons Drawn, the chief investigator is the person that brought the victim of the murder you are investigating.

@silokhawk 11 ай бұрын

That's likely correct. Add it to the list of things the game doesn't tell you lol

just watched some people play, game does tell you (tippet says something about how they brought the guest) but the mechanic is mostly useless anyway

@@stickoutragesomeone else in the comments is claiming that the investigator CAN be killer which would make the investigator random. I don't know what to believe anymore.

@stickoutrage 11 ай бұрын

@@silokhawk I have the answer. During a murder, you physically CANNOT kill your own guest, therefore you cant be chief and the culprit.

@RussGussDoodles 2 ай бұрын

@@silokhawkIn a 4 player game the chief investigator is chosen at random since there are less murders. In a 5+ player game the chief investigator is whoever invited the murdered guest, this helps narrow down the options. Also, Lord Tippet explains how the chief investigator was chosen during the first investigation ever game.

I feel like all the critiques from weapons drawn dissipate if you aren’t playing with people who bend the rules OR who don’t know the rules. For my friend group, we LOVE this game. we set boundaries and know all the little rules. Also since none of us are good at drawing, styles are not something that comes into play.

@Markm8 11 ай бұрын

Wheel could be sick if it had normal points then the wheel gave bouns points from the wheel and doing better increases the chances that you get points and just have like 3 rounds also keep the tokens so at the end like the whole bord is filled and you can put all you tokens on one slice or spread out though out the game

17:18 I got that question. Totally ruined the game in the eyes of friends, but I still want to play again because I know it’s good. All I can think is you try to stereotype people from that place? Arrogant vs. humble? Rude vs. polite? Still a dumb question that really soured my friends towards Poll Mine.

Just To Call The Mistake Out, In Weapons Drawn Whoever’s Acomplice Dies Is Who Has The Magnifing Glass, Not A Random Player.

@QuantumCharger 11 ай бұрын

Here is a thought for weapons drawn. What if they had you write 3 weapons instead of two and your second weapon is made with a letter you share with another player. Then you switch weapons and have to choose the weapon you will use, or something where someone else draws your weapon for you. I actually really like Weapons Drawn, but looking at it again I see the flaws you mentioned. Good Video!

@Last_Person 11 ай бұрын

Job job and weapons drawn are both my favorites from this pack, I’m not a big PTB fan and weapons scratches the social deduction for me in that spot. While I definitely see every flaw you mentioned, I still find the game loads of fun with my friend group. Especially with the mindset for accomplices being framing someone else for the accomplice (or just cracking a joke if I’m too tired to frame someone). Everything you said about job job I agree with, I love the broken English jokes you can make and oftentimes it’s easy to slide an inside joke in and it still be funny due to people remixing it. Loved the video, cant wait to see your review on 10 when it releases.

22:54 uh...it literally does? The beginning instructions say "As a murderer, you also have a 'calling card', *a letter from your own name*, that you must include in your drawings." also I'd like to point out that you didn't mention the "accomplice" mechanic (maybe you were ignorant to that) but it's whatever I enjoy Weapons Drawn. It's actually one of my all-time favorites.

Wow, this video was really well put together and really made me appreciate games like Drawful Animate and Poll Mine a ton more than I did before! Edit: Also Weapons Drawn is even more broken and flawed than I thought it was. I already thought the game was unfair for certain players over others but I never even really thought about things such as naming your character a string of random letters or making annoying drawings that ruin the enjoyment you can get out of the game. It also makes me wonder if jackbox were aware of these issues during development and if they made efforts to help these issues.
