_"A Way Out? This game better just be a loaded gun or a noose!"_ - someone more famous than me
JonTron
"All of Mexico he must be very fat" My favorite line in this.
Leo's nose is a story itself
Kieran Howlett You have such a classical profile pic.
By "story", I trust you mean the space between two floors in a building.
Secretly Leo is Gavin Free's son.
Almost every RUclipsr who played this said something about Leo’s noes
Well, when something sticks out so much (no pun intended) you kind of look like an insecure person if you don't mention it.
''All of Mexico? He must be very fat.'' That legit made me laugh more then it should have.
My brother and I started jokingly guessing cliches the game has to do to win "most cliche story award" and we were utterly shocked when we were able to predict every single one down to the bad guys weapon of choice.
That being said, we did have fun playing it so if you just want to fuck about in a co-op game, it's a good one for that
Wait, if Vincent was an undercover cop the whole time, who's idea was it to have that chase scene after the farmhouse where the duo kill a bunch of cops? Seems like the kinda thing that would result in a scandal for the PD.
You'd be surprised what undercover cops have to do in order to not blow their cover.
@@MysteriumArcanum Sorry but MW2 is also Hollywood action movie schlock, not a realistic depiction of undercover work.
@@MysteriumArcanum xD yeah, I guarantee that a hard line is murdering a cop.
I thought that the fucking about with random garbage was the most endearing part of the game. That, and how your characters have their getaway car blown up during a high speed chase and decide that the best way to outrun policemen with guns and cars is a rowboat.
Oh I thought this was a review for A Whey Out, in which you must escape from a dairy production facility armed only with a six foot long mozzarella stick
That sounds very vaguely like Chicken Run minus the mozzarella and I must say now I never knew I wanted this until I heard it.
What a Yahtzee-like sentence you've concocted.
Do you know the dairy production facility?
I thought it was a game about being a spider and scaring a little woman into dropping her dairy products
I even read that in Yahtzee's voice.
Yahtzee's coop partners throughout this video are hilarious.
Yahtzee, does your back hurt from carrying the Escapists?
His spine's already broken
He IS the Escapists.
And then, Yahtzee was a Subpar Gaming Website.
It's just Yahtzee
There's literally no one else left.
The Escapist RUclips channel? More like Yahtzee19.
Amusing note about the faffing-about-in-the-house bit; apparently if one of you screws about with the banjo and the other screws about with the piano, it triggers an impromptu jam session complete with rhythm-based minigame. And there's a cheevo for doing it. Saw it during Penny-Arcade's playthrough, it was pretty funny.
Bakamoichigei yep. My mate and I played the game two days ago and we managed this
For games I want to see but don't care enough to buy? And some people can make shitty games rather entertaining. You're the only pathetic one i see here
Exaclty. I used to watch this guy chris smoove way back when. He even made that shitty walking dead game fun to watch cause I liked his personality
lmao youre a weak ass troll. I've seen a 7yr old troll better
nah cody not you lol, this foo DrTheKay. weakest troll ive ever seen, you are awarded no points
I played a similar co-op called We Were Here with a random dude the game assigned me to. We had fun and I was completely immersed and I still wonder if he's the only other human on the internet who takes roleplay seriously who isn't on a Sonic fan forum.
Then again, in his mind we might have been secret hedgehogs the whole time because you don't actually get to meet face-to-face (well, clunky avatar-to-avatar) until the very end.
Either way, 10/10, would describe hieroglyph towers as dicks of varying lengths and girths again.
fucking hell, I played that with a friend yesterday. Good game. Describing things as dick with sombrero-like foreskin, anorexic dick with nail in the eye, or stubby chode was the most fun I've had in ages.
I read alll your comment in Yahtzee's voice.
Best comment
Literally my only experience with that game was watching Soviet Womble and Cyanide being actual bell ends to each other, culminating in Cyanide leaving Womble the first chance he got.
I mean, I take roleplay seriously and am not a Sonic RPer (though I did do Sonic RP back when I was a teenager). I am a furry though. Sorrynotsorry.
the joke about your girlfriend at the end was amazing
if it was anything it was pretty fucking obvious
Nopopo Lasturber chill bruh
didn't plan for it to sound that rude tbh
(the joke is still meh though)
You put on weight?
You mean Cardinal Richelieu?
Haven't heard of "slow time events" before now, and yet it makes sense.
This game's only as good as your friendship with the person you're playing it with is
Then I must really hate my brother (I don't).
I feel nervous about Yahtzee's future with his gf, in that case.
Yea I guess it's the typical coop money grab, because a lot of shitty games are infinitely more fun when you're dicking around with a good friend
@@tbk2010 Yeah the game is just shit. However me and my brother enjoyed the shit out of the Escapists 2. That's how a Prison Break game should be made. Give the players freedom to play around and escape. Not just quick time event after quick time event in a shitty movie that wouldn't even be released direct to video.
I just this second realized why maybe Vincent and Leo are such bland characters; they're meant to be blank states, ae, skins for players to put on. Maybe this IS an excellent game for truest of friends in the world, because they can at least pretend THEY'RE the characters of the story. Although in my case I still wouldn't play as Leo, because I feel like playing as a character with a nose this fucking huge is just me adhering to Jewish stereotypes
The name "A Way Out" is like Prison Break: it stops being about breaking out of prison but they keep the name anyway because it's kinda cool
What'd y mean, they break outta 4 fucking prisons
*A climactic souffle bake off* sounds amazing for a co-op game about breaking out of prison!
The twist in this game basically IS the twist from Heavy Rain. His reaction to it could have just as easily been put in his review for that game.
Isn't it the exact _opposite_ of the twist from Heavy Rain?
Do we have proof that David Cage *DIDN'T* secretly work on this game?
Nah there was no attempted rape scene, so it's safe to say it was far out of cagay's grasp
Hypno-Thorax Nah writing was too good.
To say that Cage was involved in this game would be insulting to A Way Out. I think most of the fun of this game is if you take it more as the personal experience of you and a friend roleplaying as these characters and going through the levels thinking as these characters.
Hypno-Thorax You can never really tell with David “I know Ellen Paige” Cage.
This game doesn't have enough emotions to be made by David Cage.
The splitscreen is still there even if you weren‘t playing on the same console.
Victom Whatever Wow. That's dumb.
Wouldn't really work otherwise, it grows on you
Alex Shannon except it is completely needed and your close minded. The game is meant to be played locally and you lose a lot when you can’t see both, if you are playing with a random it’s practically impossible to play when you can’t see what the other guy is doing
Alex Shannon, it's so you can see what's going on on your friend's side, it's actually pretty interesting as a choice
I wish it gave you the option to disable/enable it.
Yeah, I’m convinced I should play this with my friend.
I liked the idea that they had so many little things and mini games packed in that you could do together so you can bond with your characters and each other cause it's those things you remember when suddenly you have to kill your friend. I think the ending was really good simply because of that.
I thought the game was great!
The hospital scene was especially cool with all the crazy camera shifts.
It’s worth getting if you have friend you play games with!
Absolutely loved that scene. I’m a sucker for one take camera things (like god of war).
A way out I sure wanted one
BAM! That deserves an early lunch!
God dammit, I was gonna say that.
The Bitcoin billionare Yahtzee made this joke in an earlier episode
Andr3wWw yeah it was a reference
Multi Now to wank about misogyny and give extensive coverage to an indie game made by someone I know!
I honestly loved this game, it was really fun with a friend and was so goofy that you could always have a laugh playing it
I'm so glad I found this channel and found yahtzee again, I remember 5 years ago when I was 9 and me and my dad always binged watch yahtee's review videos every week, I'm 14 now and every time I watch one of his new videos I always get a sense of nostalgia of the days when me and my dad would watch him
I remember co-oping die hard on the sega saturn, and you had to fight each other at the end. The girl character was always faster so she won everytime. Being the younger brother that get s relegated to p2 has never been so good
4:33 Dad joke of the year
If you want a similar experience but more entertaining go to VR chat, get a very sexy avatar with a friend and both try to run away from the inevitable swarm of Uganda knuckles running your way.
That or Lost Plant 2
Typos aside, I can't agree more on the Lost Planet 2 suggestion. Though it pains me that the official servers are shut down... One of the most underrated co-op games of the last generation for sure.
Don’t make Ugandan knuckles jokes anymore
chris schleif why not ?
DEEEAAADDD MEEEEEMMMMMMMEEEEE
0:19 Pepper is the best gaming partner, that's why Yahtzee adopted him.
"Look at us. A couple of cards."
While playing this, there were times I was jokingly trying to guess things ahead of time, and most of the time I was right, as I have seen a movie before.
The one that gets me was when they needed to zipline across a thing near the beginning of the game
"Well, there's not an option to take off my belt...Are there exactly two clothe hangers in this guard tower"
To my disbelief, shock, and disappointment, there were in fact, exactly two clothe hangers in the guard tower.
I've never commented on these videos before, such a shame isn't it? Well what can I leave here except that Yahtzee became escapists itself and it's bloody awesome!
I would love to see you review the "Lisa" games
Poor Yahtzee. T_T
Hard times, daddy, hard times
_soups on baby_
You've made hell become my reality
The way they drew the faces
Love these reviews, they give me a good laugh. Also, congrats on the probably recent 1 million subs
"A Way Out" = What most of the contributors to the Escapist wanted! HEY-OO!
Its funny how Josef Fares (the creator of this game) was yelling "fuck the Oscars" while also ripping the initial act of The shawshank redemption
The title is a cry for help from the developers.
"Please help us! Give us A Way Out. EA is holding us against our will!"
I've never been this early! Yhatzee you're the man keep it up!
When I first heard about a coop prison escape narrative-focused game, I was hoping for different play styles for each character and at least a tiny bit of non-linearity but instead I got another "press x 1000 times to open this door" kind of game. And it's really sad, cause I'm sure there are lots of interesting mechanics that could be implemented in a story-driven coop game
Mikhail Chetverkin there is a game called the escapists. While it doesnt have a gold story, it may suit your taste. Also tgere is a TWD spinoff of it
I completely agree with Yahtzee on this game, but also recommend watching the Game Grumps' playthrough
I rather watch something good(i'm talking about both the game and the Channel)
Wow the animation on this episode was on point! :P
I saw the words 'EA Original' and my eyes rolled so hard it hurt ;)
Love the string of random critters you were using as your co-op partner.
I’m listening to differently morphous right now and thoroughly enjoying it
I remember doing a co-op you-fight-your-partner-at-the-end back in Splinter Cell Conviction (the one with Archer and Kestrel).
There is one very good part of this game- its narrative and gameplay are simple enough to allow my Dad to play
Oh god, this video's so long I had to stop and go finish A Way Out again before finishing. That was two minutes well spent.
You sir are a treat. Subscribed.
I feel like how well you think of the game after playing it is wholly dependent on 3 things. Your relationship with your coop partner, how much you're willing to immerse yourself in the game, and whether or not you do all the little side activities or not. So someone who say, played with their best friend, roleplayed through the game, and didn't miss out on any optional objectives would have a totally different experience from someone playing with a stranger, who disregards the characters and just speedran through the main story.
I played with my brother with whom I have played every co-op game in the last 7 years. We just hated it. The dicking about was fun, but we didn't need a game to dick about. We could very well dick about on our own in real life.
“I’d pass my partner in the hall trying on hats or bumming the dog” hahaha
What's weird is that I immediately thought of Blues Brothers when I saw this
This game has one of the best endings I’ve ever seen.
The final boss is your co-op partner!
*_Did you mean- LEGO Star Wars?_*
Loved your last book!
“It’s hammering time.”
I felt like this game was made because, the creator was told to make Two Brothers a co-op and he did not. Promising that he would make a co-op if he was left alone.
I hoped he was playing this online with Gabe then I remembered...
*her*...
They also rubber band that final fight too. My friend and I did it twice so we could see both endings. The first time we actually fought it out and the second time we just sat there and nothing really matters until the very last prompts.
I remember during the construction sight you could do an arm wresteling minigame and me and my friend did it for like 10 minuits and we needed another 5 to let our fingers rest
If anyone out there want an actually good co-op game about escaping prison, just play the escapists two. There’s no story but the gameplay is super fun and there are tons of unique, well designed levels. It can also be played on solo with a different unique escape plan for each level
Just finished "Will save galaxy for food." And then promptly got "Jam". Can't wait to get the rest of your books.
2DOLA GAMING - Jam is great. I thoroughly enjoyed that story haha. I’m working on Mogworld right now. Looking forward to listening to his other books. Sounds like you liked “will save galaxy for food”. ^_^
umiluv oh definitely I love a good gritty sci fi. Mogworld is next on the list, I'm not a big reader so thank god for audio books.
2DOLA GAMING - I love reading but I much prefer being able to multitask with audiobooks. It’s a great way to get through the day at work too if you have a repetitive job.
A Way Out, Yeah I need one.
I think it's grand, the kind of variety RUclips has these days. A channel for every kind of niche market... even one for people whose doctor has just doubled their ADHD medication.
i got that same popcorn bucket!!!
A friend and I enjoyed the exploration spaces in the game since each character was treated differently. There were things that npcs basically told Leo to fuck off, but spilled their problems all over Vincent. I really enjoyed the game up until the 3rd person shooter part and the competitive ending (luckily both my friend and I stayed in character and wanted to win and argued the whole time on who deserves to win). Also I'm gonna be one of those folk who want a third ending; especially since we stayed in character, we were both super sad...
Me and my friend had a lot of fun throughout the whole game! The part in the trailer playground made us laugh out loud like crazy (you know, both Vincent and Leo sitting down at one of the toys and then being all awkward). It has some great moments and, imo, it should have ended with Harvey dying. The rest of the game was too painful to play - me and my friend kept trying to find ways to avoid having to kill each other... No such luck in the end.
tyrus1235 we also didn't want to finish the game but followed through because how Leo acted. I was really hoping that if Vincent won he gave Leo an option for the ending. Both ending were sad, but Leo winning felt flushed out compared to Vincent winning.
I thought a year ago your channel was dead. Then I realized that I had a different Gmail on this device xD. God I missed your humor
Leo's nose in this review made me laugh so hard.
Watching you and your girlfriend while you were singing a bubblegum machine version of the yellow submarine was pretty entertaining.
selection of Yahtzee's friend was amazing
i like how yahtzee pronounces david cage
Man, I can't believe you actually played through the whole game with a controller in each hand.
Sounds like the ending to Splinter Cell Conviction's co-op. Except it at least had the narrative that you are two spec ops dudes doing VERY SPECIFIC spec ops things.
This feels like a warm up for his eventual Detroit become human review
last time i was this early they had to keep me in ICU
Leo's nose was spot on.
Holy shit finally a good review of this game
2:03 I remember he made a joke about training a spider to play video games
Very Army of Two, with an ending reminiscent of Army of Two: The 40th Day.
All hail crazy Bob!!!!
Jam was fucking amazing thanks.
It gives away all immersion when you see Vincent turn sides. If they'd separated the players, in both gameplay and story, it would've been so much better.
They could've separated the players, and informed the Vincent, that Vincent was a cop, then there would be tension, as one guy knew something the other didn't. It would also make gameplay better because you would need to actually work together, instead of screen watch, even the online gameplay and PC port have the split screen.
So the ending is practically identical to that of Splinter Cell: Conviction co-op campaign.
And the game also sounds like Conviction co-op meets Inside.
so your girlfriend is a middle-aged gruff man now then?
Nah he left Gabriel behind
Well she IS Cardinal Richelieu, so that checks out.
also ant colony
Oh my gosh that koala toy gave me nostalgia rush
"A Way Out? I certainly wanted one."
Yes, you do cling to your views without considering the viewpoint of others
I mean, the holes aren't as large as you may think, and actually explain a lot of things, like how the wife of Vincent never mentioned his career, how he was so capable of literally any *fucking* thing, and why the police officers are stormtroopers at a flashbang festival.
It sounds like A Way Out should've taken more inspiration from Splinter Cell: Conviction. It's stealth worked perfectly for two man co-op. You we're so focused that you couldn't spare a moment to look over to the other side. You were forced to communicate, to get the timing and information you need. Co-op splitscreen in that game was so engaging, flexible and also featured a wicked ending, a showdown between the two characters.
Suddenly not seeing your partners marker anywhere and feeling all alone after several hours of never being so. Knowing that he will not waste a moment, for he will assume you wont do the same. Knowing how many people you both have ruthlessly killed to get there and having seen many times how easily people die by your partners hand. How he hides in any shadow and around any corner, lurking, waiting for the right moment to strike at your back.. Unless you find his back first.
Great stuff.
You should try out Into the Breach, it’s made by the same guys who did FTL
There's also a secret Zelda reference in a hidden room which opens if both players activate the clock at the same time
Ending sounds like splinter cell conviction co-op
Aw! Y-you got a point Yahtzee but you did have fun though right? (•^•
Least you need only need one copy of the game, the co-op player can play for free from what I heard so that's nice.
Hey, you're cute
Imagine yahtz and Gabe playing a Way Out
Tushar Veeramani that would be rather expensive since one would have to travel to the other's place in another country just to play the game. It's easier (for Yahtzee at least) to play with his girlfriend. (Feel free to insert sexual pun joke below)
You should really consider getting his new audio book.
It was so damn good
This review is a lot more fun when you watch it with the awareness that Yahtzee played it with his girlfriend. (Yes I know he mentions it at the end. The middle bits get slightly funnier if you know preemptively)
is it weird that the first video YT recommended to me was F.3.A.R?
considering it was actually mentioned in this video
this game will only be remember for the rant at The Game Award
Today I learned that Yahtzee loves Shawshank as much as I do.
