    as storywise, outlast 1 and whistleblower had more sense and you could understand them clearly well if you played the game and reading the notes. but outlast 2 had so so so many twists and parallel events that my mind couldnt handle, even after watching your video what you came of as conclusion i think no one can have this story even if he played the whole game and reading all notes. it's so complex.

      It was pretty damn wack if you ask me, its not only its complexity and confusive narrative, but also its lore to the series is practically minimal.
      The whole game is essentially a "so murkoff was doing another experiment here with the engine" stretched into a whole game, AND you only understand that with comics that basically make the whole connection.
      Unless in a future game the events in outlast 2 have like a MASSIVE impact I honestly feel like they didnt really care about making much of a plot, they just wanted to do quick profit of shock value imo.

What started out as a interesting reporting story for them ended with Lin dying from fake child birth after most likely being raped by the heretics in filth and a rundown town full of corpses and insane people with Blake having gone through many emotional, psychological, mental, and especially physical trials just for things to the end the way they did and him finally succumbing to his insanity and becoming lost and trapped in the past of his mind with “Jessica” while he becomes catatonic and is taken to be experimented on and used by Murkoff.

    A small thing most people forget: When Knoth was in Albuquerque hearing a message through the static, he went outside into the night and saw a vision of an angelic creature with many eyes crowned in fire surrounded by wheels within wheels. He knew this had confirmed he was the new prophet because Ezekiel had a vision too before becoming prophet. That's why Temple Gate's cross always has wheels built on to them. Great vid btw!!

      I fully agree that outlast 1 was way scarier, imo outlast 2 tries too hard, there is not a second where you feel safe or with hope of anything, so the fear wears out incredibly fast, it comes out as cheap shock value.
      Outlast 1 had the entire opposite, making you multiple times feel hope of escaping and getting away, or feel that someone is helping you and turn it on you as its another crazy person.
      That along with the plot, one being reasonably easy to follow, and the sequel just being incredibly confusing even after ending the whole game.
      But also, the school section of 2 was really good, it literally fixes what I just described it was bad about the main plotline. I wish they had done a whole game in a school really.

    I'm glad someone finally picked back up on this game and really tied things together well! I have something I found while playing the game that I wanted to mention. As far as I can tell no one has really talked about this and maybe you could shed some light on it. You mentioned the walrider's existence in Temple Gate and the ants.
    Here is the possible easter egg: Just before Blake enters the Scalled area, he attempts to cross a bridge and for some reason that is never explained a cloud of locust appears and pushes him off. This could be a hallucination but right after the event, another person claims to see the locust and others through out the village talk about it later.
    I have always wondered after seeing the comics if this cloud of Locust may in fact be the walrider? Maybe they aren't even Locust, Ants can grow wings in some cases and this could be a joined swarm of them.
    I wanted to throw this out there. It's eating away at me that nobody even talks about this moment like it's important. (A fucking swarm of bugs randomly lifts a dude and shoves him off a bridge.) Let me know if you have any idea about this or corrections. Thanks

    • @GamingHarryYT
      @GamingHarryYT  2 года назад +8

      Interesting thought! Well, Arizona has lots of locusts (being that it's dry and hot), so it could be that the Locust swarm was just Blake's bad luck. I think it's more that Blake is walking across a narrow beam at that point, and loses balance rather than being thrown off the bridge. That being said, the Locust seemed pretty aggressive, so you may be right in saying that the locust could be being controlled by the Walrider.

      @@GamingHarryYT The locusts flash and glow like they're electric, and tbh that's the most explicit 'swarm' imagery we get in the game so I would definitely see that as a Walrider cameo. My question is whether it's Miles, and what his intent was - did he deliberately knock Blake down, or did he try to help but lost control?

      I actually wouldn't be surprised if the next game tackles some kind of "manufactured rapture/alien invasion" - key word being manufactured. I found the religious elements in OL1 to be hackneyed, but it clicked in the second game: the series is about how trauma and technology are weaponized to control minds, and it is no accident that religion itself is treated like a mind control technique.

    I am still wondering why Blake has those flashbacks to Jessica when nothing in the current situation that he was in points back to that period. I felt that it was just a way to make the gameplay varied and longer. It kinda took the flow of the main story away.

    • @ilikehighways6986
      @ilikehighways6986 2 года назад +8

      im pretty sure its the guilt of jessicas death. it was mentioned at the start he hadnt been sleeping properly because of it so it was going on for quite some time. it was there to provide a backstory. every time the bright light occurred from the murkoff tower it drove him to these hallucinations of jessica and what happened in the school that nobody knew about but him. combined with the fact he could’ve potentially saved her, they just happened while his mind was at its weakest

    • @GamingHarryYT
      @GamingHarryYT  2 года назад +20

      Yeah, also, Blake probably had negative viewpoints around religion as he was raised Catholic and saw how evil Loutermilch was. The thought of religion probably freaked him out and scarred him after Jessica died. Being thrust into that environment with crazy religious nut jobs like Knoth's cult members likely amplified his PTSD. So I think that us seeing what Blake endured as a kid at school is relevant to the story.
