Just a heads up, I’d recommend watching this one with headphones, sounds best that way 👍

Imagine paying real life actors to do an expensive and complicated scene only to not use their audio. This game was burning money.

The real quiet man was the friends we made along the way.

The game was originally released only without the audio only on November 1st 2018, then updated on November 9th 2018 to include the audio, however in order to get the audio you have to beat the game first without the audio and then replay it. The people who replayed it with audio said it still doesn't makes sense.

Everyone else: Cyberpunk, End Of Year Lists Purposeless Rabbitholes: The Quiet Man

15:27 Why...for the love of all things sacred on this rotten rock, is there a scene that has no audio, despite the fact that THE FUCKING DEAF MAN ISN'T EVEN THERE!?

The main the villain made a life size gold statue of himself. Holy shit, this is Yakuza.

My friend was just getting used to cracking games. He was looking for games that would "entertain him". I told him. Dude quiet man is good. "Really" He downloaded it, immediately streamed it to me on discord. I have never laughed so hard in my goddamn life

This shit is exactly why I’m still subscribed.

99% sure "gangster #1" is holding his cigarette backwards... that's how you know he's street as hell

Being subscribed to Purposeless Rabbitholes is a constant experience of forgetting his existence and then being reminded of it once every 3 months. I love the content!

I legitimately thought that the coors light sign said “Club Mayonaise” for a good 2 seconds and absolutely lost it.

100%, this concept wasn't what they had envisioned when they started. They must have had a falling out with their sound engineer and decided to change the concept instead of finding a new one..

I feel like the whole "Mom dying over shoes" thing is made less stupid due to Uncle Ben dying over chocolate milk and pocket change in TASM

okay tho the fact that charlie gets more and more excited with each shitty parkour moment gives me so much life

He made this video purely so he could tell us that he does have in fact a girlfriend, and she is in fact also very funny. Im onto you mate.

So does this guy have super powers just because he's deaf? Is that how it works? Being deaf makes you have Albert Wesker-like reflexes?

>make the character deaf as a major part of the game >do absolutely nothing with it brillant

Honestly making this video for that joke was worth it

(Fun fact, deafness is a spectrum, you can be deaf and only hear loud noises or muffled noises)

I just really hope a team of people do their own version of this game’s dialogue where they just make up their own lines. Can’t be too hard

Idk if you got the audio version, The Quiet Man Answered, but here's some context(I've never played the game, I just got my knowledge from other videos) 1. The protagonist's name is Dane, and Taye(the black guy) is his best friend. They both run a gang and Taye owns Club Moonrise 2. The old detective guy and the policeman in the flashback are the same person. In the "comforting" flashback, he was blaming the young Dane for getting his mom killed, and was abusing him throughout his childhood 3. "Mom Girlfriend" is named Lala. Even though she looks and sounds EXACTLY like Dane's dead mom, she's not related to her in any way, shape, or form. She's also Taye's girlfriend and her kidnapping was fake. 4. You were right about the guy in the graffiti painting being the same guy in the flashback. He's the leader of the gang Sol 33 5. The whole thing in the game was set up by Dane's dad. 6. If you play the Quiet Man Answered, there's an extra ending where they try to show Dane and his dad making up. 7. Fun fact:the game takes place in New York, but the scenes were filmed in Bulgaria

I will pay good money for this man to cover AI: The Somnium Files. It’s criminally underrated.

The man with the mysterious rabbitholes returns...

Really hope you stream yourself playing the "answered" version

The real question is where do the rabbitholes go? I mean, yeah they’re purposeless. But cmon, they can’t just be a dead end. My theory is that they lead to the underworld. And that’s how you get to hell in doom. So the real origin of doom is that doom guy fell down a purposeless rabbithole, which dropped him in hell. STORY SOLVED BOYS I’m onto you, Charles

The reason you can't hear anything was because the original soundtrack was "Sweet Home Alabama", but they couldn't get the rights to it, so they just destroyed all the audio.

In a nutshell: Show, don't tell. But I don't like the show either!

what absolutely stuns me is that for a game about deafness, it sure is fuckin not accommodating for the deaf by including *subs*, aka what is now becoming industry standard ADA accommodations in entertainment media how can any dev fuck up THAT hard edit: listening to PR giggle to himself while trying to record is a strange sort of wholesomeness

The Singer Lady love interest thing randomly reminded me of that one episode of Fraiser where he dates a woman who looks like is mom. Pretty good episode IMO.

How the hell did mom-girlfriend and stencil survive that explosion? They were in the fire.

Much obliged, brother Charles. EDIT: I believe the gang's moniker is the "Green-Goes" - that's just stupid enough to work. I had to go watch that Mike Stoklasa mental break again, thank you for reminding me that's a thing.

I feel like a game with a deaf protagonist could absolutely work if it utilized music and percussion in its gameplay and didn’t have an absolutely nonsensical story with no dialogue or subtitles to express its story. This game is a dumpster fire that actually could have worked if it wasn’t made by idiots.

At 15:00 the Quiet Man realizes he has his period and has no pads or tampons on him.

“babe wake up new purposeless rabbitholes”

There’s a John Wayne movie also called The Quiet Man, and thinking about these two Quiet Men together is honestly so hilarious.

I'm half-surprised you didn't just upload a video where all your voice-overs are the charlie brown-ass noises from Quiet Man.

Good to have you back Charlie. Hope you had a great Christmas/NYE. Great vid as always, watching your other new vid shortly. What a truly bizarre game that...i am weirdly tempted to play to actually find out how much you got right. Stay awesome.

I'm so glad I watched this instead of buying this out of curiosity in the psn store. Definitely the best game review I've ever seen

So from what i gathered in the audio version the story is almost more nonsensical..... Our main character’s name is Dane and he went through a large amount of trauma after his mom died and that cop that talked to him is his ACTUAL DAD. Yup his actual dad that was also abusive to him because the dad BLAMES HIM FOR GETTING HIS MOTHER KILLED. Which is crazy already but the doozy is that Dane created this alter ego of “The Quiet Man” which is the bird masked man as in the games own words “An Outlet For His Pain”. It also turned out that Dane was the the one that kidnapped singer girl, Lala, as the quiet man which in the end was his all part of his father’s master plan. To try and turn Dane into the “Quiet Man” to get revenge on the two guys that killed his wife but in the end dane saw his father as the “Quiet man” the source of all his anger and violence. And that Dane was just imagining fighting the bird mask man while he was actually doing his father’s bidding. Little side note here they Acknowledge that Lala looks like Dane’s mom and he is cool with it. Also they never explain the shadow bird mask powers. It literally is just as random as it is.

I actually laughed out loud alone in my room at the Quantum Broke joke

I've had a really hard few months, and 1:15 in I already feel better. Thank you, and never underestimate what you do

I just stumbled upon your content. The quality of your videos deserves more views.

this game reminds me of Yakuza and Judgment with some sleeping dogs in there (plot and gameplay) but shittier in every way

That mgsv joke was so underated because that sounds exactly like a kojima name

The best part after looking up the story is that father cop and abusive dad are same person. And the whole event of the game was part of a revenge plot by father cop.

quiet man did a 7 page muda *best game ever*

lost all my subs lately. couldnt quite remember your channel name, so of course i searched for expensive spiderman. very glad 2 make this channel one of the few that i have in my subscriptions. i essentially am only following the channels i couldn't forget if i tried now. thanks for this video cause my feed is very slow lately, and my recommended videos suuuuuuuuuuuuuck

I'm so glad you kept that blooper real

What is the purpose of having those scenes done in live-action?

I think the Final Fantasy menu noises were the game letting us in on what it truly feels like to be deaf with an artistic twist. We hear what he hears though! It's a bold move to call a game The Quiet Man and place such emphasis on how the protagonist cant hear, then also give him karate magic and put him in a world where hearing isnt important .

One day into the new year and this is already the best video of the year.

Literally my favourite youtuber. No one quite makes video essays like you

Before the game came out i was thinking, "what an shit idea for a game to have no sound".

Not ending this game (haven’t even played it) but it’s pretty obvious why the hot dog guy and the gang members are audible: you hear them because the story is being “narrated” through an omniscient narrator. From that point onwards there is a transition (a visual one) that clearly transports us into the main character, and the story then becomes narrated through him.

This is the first time i hear about this game and I'm one of those guys that's always up to date with releases and news

I was laughing already, but absolutely lost it at Punished "Stencils" Friend Gangster lol. Keep up the content my man!

damn i've missed him, i wish he could upload more often

You have to play the dubbed mode. It's infinitely more batshit than you could possibly imagine

This is the hardest I’ve laughed at a KZfaq video in a good while. Thanks dawg

Love how @17:16 Charlie just takes the hit staring at the gold statue for commentary.... Gold!

watched this on rerez when they did a video on it awhile ago so i knew what i was in for and your commentary still killed me.

Welcome back!!

I totally have this game. First time. You can interact with the environment in combat. I did one move to where I was in a kitchen, and when I used the focus button I think L2, and the man was standing in front of the stove, there was a tea kettle on the stove and I ran and jumped in the air in slow motion and then it went fast and then went back to slow motion again to where I kicked like a wall kick and kicked the tea kettle straight onto his head. That was sweet ASF...idk how I did it but it's with triangle while holding the focus button which is L2. There are a lot of hidden fighting moves in the quiet man you just have to discover them yourself by playing around with with the d-pad, dash button which is R2, square, triangle, and circle button. I really liked the game it's very unique and different ☺️. But so far I found only one hidden fighting move which I explained. I still haven't complete the game just yet. But the plot of the game is about a guy who is deaf so that is why the game was made the way it was made and that is why the gameplay has no sound and dialogues and stuff because the character is deaf if anyone is going to bring down the game with hate. But I only had this game for a month now. I'm new to ps4 and I'm a ex-twitch streamer that's a new KZfaq Gaming Streamer on the ps4. This is my first ps4 ever. Had it for a year. Bought it on April 1st 2021. I like it, pretty neat and pretty fun. Anyways take care.

Just found your channel, love it.

my fave youtuber uploaded on the first day of the year what a way to start

A criminally underrated channel.

videos like these are why i love this channel

YOUR BACK MAN! HAPPY CRUEL NEW YEAR! LETS CELEBRATE NOW !!

Good to see you back buddy, missed you

Really had me looking to add it to my wishlist before I even watched the video. I've been played.

Another good job man! Keep it up!

>Cinematic Game >Greatest Game Me: you can't fool me, Rabbit!

Hello fellow underrated KZfaqr. Love you man keep it up

I love that this is dedicated to shitting on a game no one's heard of. Simply the best

hell yeah, what a great vid to watch on christmas! :D

My boi is back with awesomeness

I love the breakdown at the end.

I'd pay good money to see you play this live and snapped like Mike did in that episode lmao

this has to be The Room of video games, aiming for brilliance but missteps so hard it ends up as hilarious

Every upload is quality content, no matter the wait. Thank you brother.

10/10 game right here. Great Review, it showed me the many different reasons why The Quiet Man is the greatest comedy of all time.

Thinking about it, a survival horror as a deaf character would be interesting tho

Your reward for beating the game is being able to freaking hear it!

Gangster #1 is the most memorable character in this game so far xD

This video, this piece of art I love this

I live for Purposeless Rabbitholes' reaction to the parkour scenes

Fvcking finally, this day keeps gettin better

You’re reaction to each time he does parkour killed me

Bro, you have to play the Answered mode. It's way more insane than you could possibly imagine

the humor was real in this video, thank you for making my day better. hilarious at 15:22 i lost it ha

i bet the real story of this game is the audio got corrupted and they said “fuck it, make him deaf, they’ll never know”

You crack me up dude I'm honestly just working down the videos now what ever the subject matter 🤣

"I'm sorry, I'll quit it with the nicknames." Mr. Rabbitholes, there is a REASON I am still watching this video.

"What is the team that the sports gangsters are a part of?" ... the Philadelphia Eagles, obviously.

Oi, a Quiet Man stream would be awesome. I really enjoyed this one

I watch this every belated Christmas.

Goddamn... that Quantum Broke joke is SO good

The studio was quiet after this one... i’ll be here for the next 24 minutes.
