Have you heard the story about the crystallization of glycerin? For 150 years after the discovery of glycerin, people cooled it, warmed it, and did all sorts of things to it. But whatever they did, it never crystallized. However, one day in 1920...
everything uchikoshi makes kind of turns my brain inside out. I feel like I grasp maybe 40% of it and have to remind myself that, no, I'm not stupid, he's just experiencing basic existence on this earth vastly differently than I ever will, his brain just works unlike any brain I've ever understood
The writing makes so much more sense when you know who uchikoshi is, and that when he was asked to make zero escape 4 on twitter, his response was, "give me a horse first and then ill make the game".
he also let the fandom vote on whether or not snake is gay as an apology for a thirst tweet (snake is now canonically gay) (wild that we needed confirmation, man literally makes 2 separate jokes about being a bottom)
Characters in this game are the definition of people who have genius booksmarts but trash streets marts. Like they know the secrets of the universe but lack all common sense.
There the definition of what a stupid person's idea of what intelligence looks like, I don't get why people think they can do a good job writing what they don't understand

36:22 actually, come to think of it, just pouring water on the ice isn't such an obviously easy way out. They're in a freezer, and the water's loosing heat even while it's in the tube, even more so when it's flowing out, and even more so once it hits the below-freezing temp ice on the door. Depending on what the exact temperature differences are, that water might end up freezing right on top of the ice that's already there, making the situation worse. ...that being said, they could've at least tried to like, crack the ice with the knife handle or something before jumping to making a dry ice bomb.
@@thelastbeluga Yeah, I feel like this is accurate. While playing I was thinking, this is some good voice acting, but the WRITING is dog shit. I have no idea why VNs feel the need to repeat dialogue five times.

Okay so with face blindness, you can… you can recognize people. Clothes. Hair. Though if there weren’t clothes or the technicolor hair I would struggle so much.
True face blindness isn't as exaggerated in real life as in 999. It's more like you can recognize someone but the moment you look away you won't remember any of the facial features that person has. What 999 does is more fantasy for the sake of the plot.
@@albertwesker3299 Believe me, I know. I have it. It's really funny seeing how dramatized it is here. Like, it's inconvenient, but not "tragic backstory" material
i think the thing i'm saddest abt being lost in translation is that when ace doesn't recognise snake in the incinerator, the original japanese has a joke playing off how faceblind ace doesn't know who snake is but blind blind snake knows who everyone is, it kinda means the english translation doesn't have the same blatant "ace is an idiot and using his disability as an excuse" vibe
Basically adventure mode is what most people would prefer, but near the end of the game, novel mode does a better job replicating the original experience on the DS which made the story flow a bit better
There's also a problem of, since they redid the script to move some of the information in the narration into the character dialogue, a LOT of early game dialogue includes obvious information that anyone with eyes would see. Especially at the beginning with Junpei all by himself narrating his entire experience to himself.
@@Se7enRemain Because most of what the novel mode adds is descriptions of things that are readily apparent in adventure mode. You know the phrase show don't tell? Adventure mode shows, novel mode tells
I love watching the Helltaker part of 1:39:46 because he's literally moving one specific box back when he doesn't need to, which is why he's already at 50 moves. He keeps pushing the bottom right box into alignment with the other boxes but he just does not have to do that.
Holy shit the reverse possession was the funniest thing. No no, he wasn't possessed by a ghost to write a predictive story, he wrote a story, became a ghost, then possessed people so it would become true. Genius shit. "Guys, there's gonna be a terrorist attack!" "Oh no, how have you predicted it??" *Loads gun* "Predicted?" Also for anyone curious, carbon dioxide doesn't become a liquid because it has very weak intermolecular forces, so as soon as it gets enough energy to break from being solid it goes straight to gas. Water has dipoles and other forces to keep the molecules together stronger. At high pressures CO2 can be a liquid though. :) Also there were actually 6 sister ships to the Titanic, and they all looked identical. The Gigantic, Olympic, Hispanic, Britannic, Mechanic and Chris-Channic Edit: Fuck the ligma keys actually killed me nevermind that's the funniest thing
They fucked up the novel and adventure modes, cuz they're practically bot useless. The DS original had the flavor text on the bottom screen and junpei was a lot less annoying in his dialogue, as in he wasn't pointing out the obvious, that's what the flavor text was there for. The port really fucked up the dialogue big time
It kinda became my favorite thing. It's just so out of character and just from out of left field. Junpei's just a normal guy and then out of nowhere, "I will potentially murder three people just to stay with my childhood friend I haven't seen in years."
I know it's incredibly freaking late, I'm sorry if ya moved on and are a completely different person but I personally really like that moment you're right, it's truly out of character Junpei has no reason to do that, but we, as the player, do I think it's a great example of the morphogenetic field in action, Junpei doesn't know why he's doing this things, but a force behind his perception still pushes him to do it. He tries to explain it to himself by saying it was because of June, but I really like how it subdly implies that there's something going on underneath the surface
@@twelve3871it's also really interesting that because of what happens in that scene that if clover and lotus were fast enough like one of the final plot twists would have been unveiled
After reading comments on this video about adventure vs novel mode and people complaining about the changes, I had to go look at videos on RUclips to see how different the DS version is. I admit I've only watched the first five minutes of this stream and the first five minutes of the DS version of the game and won't comment on the story, but from already watching those first few minutes it really appears this remaster butchered the game severely - regardless of the twists and turns of the story and how that ties into the DS version, the mood and feeling of the narration and what it adds in the DS version versus this remaster is so completely different that I think attempting to replicate it through the novel mode here along with the script changes was an extremely poor idea. They should have just divided the screen in two (allowing an option for a vertical or horizontal split), with the bottom screen being smaller. That may have made the game less accessible, but even as someone who knows very little about this game and hasn't played it, a quick comparison already tells me that the choices they made were not for the best and does not handle the fact that the story of the game was literally written around the hardware it was made for.
It's incredible how much charisma Joe has considering that I can still find him entertaining and enjoy his playthroughs despite how ridiculously obnoxious he often is
this is the first time I see and heard of him and honestly I can't continue watching/hearing him after the first 10 minutes, which is very unfortunate since the game is really great :(
@@theofratus4528 Yeah, he's definitely not for everyone. I find the way he approaches stories very annoying but I think I've just kinda gotten used to it at this point. Also I can appreciate the humour he finds in the weirdest, most insignificant things. It almost feels like he has literally no suspension of disbelief so it can be entertaining to look at his reactions and realize that yeah, that thing in the story was actually pretty silly. But if you feel in any way attached or passionate about a game then his tendency to nitpick literally everything can get pretty annoying very quickly.
Yeah I watch him from time to time, especially in games that don't take themselves too seriously for the most part (like the stupid parts of Persona, for example) or games that don't have a linear, text-heavy story (his Outer Wilds streams are exceptional) but at the same time for me he's so nitpicky about *everything* that it can get really grating to watch him play through story-heavy games like this one because half the time l feel like he's blowing a lot of stuff out of proportion. Not to say that you can't criticize games, because obviously you can, but when it's ragging on everything that happens it can be a bit much
@@whatamidoing5683 He doesn't play the games, he just opens it and let the twitch chat guide everything. Pretty sure he would not talk to himself for 30 seconds every 2 minutes from every dialogue. Typical content for teenagers to watch for hours.
@@gothicgm01 said the guy who never watched a single Joe's stream. Otherwise you would know how baseless and outright wrong things that you stated are.
I love Joe but the entire elevator misunderstanding is the funniest shit ever I'm sorry. Like I hate weird pervy anime bullshit as much as the next guy but that's just a funny series of double entendres.
I actually didn't know that they gave you a handicap in the crane game. I remember finding that "just one move off" solution in the original. Props to him for doing the crate mini game without the handicap.
26:05 explaining the numbers: 4 is homonym to 'death' in japanese; 9 is the last number in the same sense sense that 'z' is the last letter. It's just that english doesn't distinguish number(symbol) and number(amount)
This also feels like maybe too much was cut out because it just started and it feels like characters are popping up without introduction but implication they talked about other stuff in the scene already.
The fact that the game gives you the option to discover a big secret early if you're a complete asshole and force Santa, Lotus and Clover to compete for their lives is a fucking incredible moment in gaming to me. This game has a few ups with its mountain of downs.
I would never praise that scene considering Seven did as he was told for no reason “Trust me, just do it” and he did Also it makes 0 sense for those guys to compete as no one had to necessarily enter room 3 they could’ve simply make Junpei walk inside it to get rid of him for being an asshole or just letting the door close without no one entering and giving him a good old “what the heck is wrong with you?!!” Both scenarios were seen before with the 9th man and it’s clear neither Seven nor Santa were okay with that. This means they all acted like idiots believing they had to enter that room no matter what.
I absolutely loved this playthrough and Joe in general, but I do understand a lot of people in the comments who say his nitpicking rubs them the wrong way. For this game, I thought it was really funny and I was right there with him, confused, but enjoying it. After watching the Zero Escape vods, I watched his Danganronpa one playthrough and that was a different story. The nitpicks got so intense in the last third of that game that it just felt like Joe was torturing himself and me, but I cared enough about the narrative to force myself through. The ending of that story is pretty bad, but man some of the things Joe saw as problems were just insane and it became the only commentary.
Well its the price you pay....its funny to watch a nitpicker get absolutely triggered by bullshit....the price is well you have to put up with him being a nitpicking guy
OMG I had a feeling Santa and Taka had the same VA, but it doesn't surprise me the games were made so close to each other and from the same producer... But I would've never guessed it's also the VA for Diluc!!
It really urks me how this game with ok writing has been destroyed by the modern ports. Like the writing was never great but having every character say a line 5 times in different ways is absolutely them wanting to show that they have voice acting now.
I had no idea Joseph Anderson had played all these games, thanks for putting these together! Do you have any plans to make similar vids for his Danganronpa playthroughs?
I'm gonna be honest, about half the time he's laughing at something I have no idea why he's laughing, and I'm the type of guy that laughs at the stupidest stuff Not gonna lie though, Akane turning into Vsauce every time she dies is pretty funny.

This also feels like maybe too much was cut out because it just started and it feels like characters are popping up without introduction but implication they talked about other stuff in the scene already.
The fact that the game gives you the option to discover a big secret early if you're a complete asshole and force Santa, Lotus and Clover to compete for their lives is a fucking incredible moment in gaming to me.
This game has a few ups with its mountain of downs.
I would never praise that scene considering Seven did as he was told for no reason
“Trust me, just do it” and he did
Also it makes 0 sense for those guys to compete as no one had to necessarily enter room 3 they could’ve simply make Junpei walk inside it to get rid of him for being an asshole or just letting the door close without no one entering and giving him a good old “what the heck is wrong with you?!!”
Both scenarios were seen before with the 9th man and it’s clear neither Seven nor Santa were okay with that. This means they all acted like idiots believing they had to enter that room no matter what.
@@edwardsuou Yeah, it definitely has its flaws like every other scene in the game lol
Oh no... just like Silent Hill 2
I recognize that "Easy mode is now selectable"!

"You actually like Zero-Escape"
Why does he become so obnoxious when streaming and lose any suspension of disbelief
Thanks for all the condensed stream videos.
Bro they fucking robbed that last puzzle, in the ds version it was a 9x9 sudoku puzzle
the DS also took advantage of its two screens to have a more impactful ending and realization
@@RM-xr8lq And also the writing was overall much better
9:27 HE DOESNT KNOW
It's funny how, with all the somewhat reasonable made up stuff June says, the literal frozen mummy that didn't melt is like the 1 single real thing
I absolutely loved this playthrough and Joe in general, but I do understand a lot of people in the comments who say his nitpicking rubs them the wrong way. For this game, I thought it was really funny and I was right there with him, confused, but enjoying it. After watching the Zero Escape vods, I watched his Danganronpa one playthrough and that was a different story. The nitpicks got so intense in the last third of that game that it just felt like Joe was torturing himself and me, but I cared enough about the narrative to force myself through. The ending of that story is pretty bad, but man some of the things Joe saw as problems were just insane and it became the only commentary.
#sprinklergate 😔
Well its the price you pay....its funny to watch a nitpicker get absolutely triggered by bullshit....the price is well you have to put up with him being a nitpicking guy
Santa hates both Lucky Students
The Skyrim cutaway joke has damaged my trust in this entire video from the get-go.
1:15:57 You left out the part where he says that it's not just anime that does this.
Just timestamping for personal use: 1:49:44
If someone could point out where the "I'm sick of your shit" line is I'd appreciate it!
OMG I had a feeling Santa and Taka had the same VA, but it doesn't surprise me the games were made so close to each other and from the same producer...
But I would've never guessed it's also the VA for Diluc!!
2:20:42 lovely little noise
walrus this is such a great edit i love the effort you went to, especially the box minigame section
you could say you did.....very well
This man Googles 9 things 7 times but sees math and goes, nah.
I really love this series despite its flaws. Hearing Joe rip it to pieces is fucking hilarious lmao
The voice acting makes the delivery of the novel be way to funny-- on the original DS this was all read anyways, so it wasnt ridiculous XD
What Danganronpa reveal is he referring to at 1:46:40 ? Is it a specific character one?
V3 kirumi
Very well
I will go along with this
bro novel mode is wild I couldnt remember what mode I played on until he switched it. Watching this after the ocean gate fiasco is much funnier.
Bro the first few minutes of this and like. Joe has tapped into the morphogenic field how has he done this
56:16 god I can't never replay the game and not laugh at this part anymore😭
Joe bringing up Umineko in the beginning primed me to laugh when small bombs was brought up.
It really urks me how this game with ok writing has been destroyed by the modern ports. Like the writing was never great but having every character say a line 5 times in different ways is absolutely them wanting to show that they have voice acting now.
HE LOVES IT!
I had no idea Joseph Anderson had played all these games, thanks for putting these together! Do you have any plans to make similar vids for his Danganronpa playthroughs?
Joe's bamboozle actually got me so good I have to question if any stream is real anymore or simple am extreme gotcha
ITS NOT A 9 ITS A 6 UPSIDOWN
I think whenever I rewatch this and Joe goes off on his yawning rant it makes me yawn
Glasses, jacket, shirt
Call me glasses jacket Junpei
I love watching people get confused and frustrated by 999. It's like a special kind of Schadenfreude.
I'm gonna be honest, about half the time he's laughing at something I have no idea why he's laughing, and I'm the type of guy that laughs at the stupidest stuff
Not gonna lie though, Akane turning into Vsauce every time she dies is pretty funny.
Thats's why i love him
He laughs at everything
57:45 Danganronpa PTSD event.
Also, I made it into a video! Woo! 1:37:52
Too bad I lost everything.
That shit was both hilarious and frustrating as hell to watch. I would have been SO pissed
To this day, I still think this is the game that had Joe laughing the most.
You highlight warriors are very much appreciated~ ( ╹▽╹ )
Damn this guy must love anime
Great editing!
This is relevant to my interests.
51:34
This reminds me of a certain postmodern rpg.
Wow I never used novel mode cuz I decided to play the ds version after playing one route with just the talking on PC. I always assumes novel was the ds narration lolol
It isnt?
@@Kiwiiizzzit should be
I keep just imagining this guy talking to these characters in person and just laughing in their face at their absolutely absurd bs
