For some reason, when a game tells me something I usually trust it. I mean, the game devs wouldn't have given me the advice if it wasn't part of the game design. Even though I felt a little bad afterwards, I didn't even hesitate on dropping it in. Similarly, in portal 2, at the PotatOS reunion, I didn't hesitate to pick her up, until she went like "yeah I'm totally not lying to you" I also fell for GLaDOS' "this is the last test chamber before I let you go" trap.

I played Portal for the first time last year and I gotta say the companion cube is my favourite fictional character ever. Some would say "It's not a character, it's just a cube" but we've been through a lot, her and I. No but seriously, what surprised me is how crushed I felt when Glados told me to throw her in the incinerator. I was like "But.. I love her" then I started looking for ways to save her, but nothing could be done and I just.. betrayed her. Man I love that cube. It's still amazing that they made me get attached to an object in a video game.

It is amazing that you got an interview with the writer and the creator. This game (I wouldn't call it a game per se, it's more of an interactive puzzle story/film, I really have no idea how it should be defined) completely changed my life and many others', from what I read online. It was a great experience, but more importantly, it inspired me. It made my horizons so much broader, it gave fuel to my imagination. It is one of the reasons why I started this channel, for example, and did a few certain projects in my private life. Watching the early versions of the game, and the devs' logic behind why things are the way they are, and how they were in the beginning, is very eye opening. This video is a true essay on the creative process and on audience management and storytelling. Thanks!

I don't really like the sepia tones and I shamefully recognise that held me back for a few years. But then I tried the game and found the story to be an extremely immersive experience. Nice work!

I never cared about the companion cube but after watching this, I can't really say that I don't get why anyone would. I'd always assumed it was a joke about Ratman being isolated for so long that he projected his emotions onto it to a point where his schizophrenia was beginning to manifest itself through the cube. It's kind of creepy that it's that easy to manipulate human emotions in so many people. Granted, I have a stuffed animal on my bed because I'm an aspie so I guess I have no room to give my two cents on the matter.

I'm okay with the 6 month montage, but I wish they would've experimented and implemented some gameplay and decision-making into the montage to reinforce the connection between player-V-Jackie and make us a participant in their journey/rise through the underworld. For instance, you play a five minute long section that ends with a "press square to choose a dialog/action" that then leads to a cut into another gameplay section. They already do this in one of the endings, where gameplay and montage are intertwined very nicely to create an extremely memorable moment.

Ironically, they're talking about bugs and how fixing them can cause a cascade of breaks if they open the lid on an issue, there's a huge visual bug in this suicide mission where the human reaper falls down into the chasm after being defeated twice, it's all complete blackness and even affects the ending cutscene. To this day it's still not been addressed. However the original game does not have this problem. GAH.

I just thought that Glados says Chell was the quickest test subject to destroy the companin cube because it's true. Chell is special and that's why she was chosen to test so she could take down Glados. It dosen't really feel like Chell to get emotionally attached to the cube. And I truly think she is the only test subject that didn't hesitate in destroying it.

I actually do not think the story is a great mission when it comes to choice. The narrative heavily pushes Krogans as a distraught people. You are meant to fight alongside them and see them as ultimate allies to fight the Reapers. Even if you disagree with that, the narrative pushes in the direction that not curing the genophage and not helping the Krogan is ultimately an evil act. SO while the narrative and this scene are amazing, the act of it being a choice really takes away from it.

Appreciate the video and info of this classic gaming moment. Desire is an interesting topic to me. It's such a peculiar aspect of humanity. Not only the extreme desires we face through life, but the basic concept of it. For instance, you walk through a store and suddenly spot an item you like. And you WANT it. You didn't want it before, but now you do. Gaming is an excellent way to investigate it as well as it's in almost every game. You can be a person who is successful in many aspects of life, but then you play ANY game and there will be something you WANT and not just the win of the game. Maybe it's some flashy armor or a rare weapon. But it can be as simple as wanting that NEXT block to fit perfectly in that Tetris game you're playing. You didn't care about it before you started playing, but now you DESIRE it and often, this temporary feeling of desire is more powerful than eating or sleeping - things you NEED to do to live.

Where else can you have a narrative experience that so masterfully pays off after 120hrs of living with it? Mass Effect is some of the truest Role Playing ever put into a video game.

Hands down the best overall experience within the fallout universe. We all know how buggy and broken the game can be but with how mods have came along recently, New vegas honestly doesn't need a remake or remaster. We simply need the guys who made new vegas back but with more time for development. We all love obsidian so Bethesada needs to step aside and let Obsidian do a sequel to new vegas. That way Bethesda can focus on Starfeild and Elder Scrolls and can still be there to support Obsidian as publishers and make their money as well
