What I learned from Valiant Hearts: Everyone had something obscuring their eyes. The germans were very fond of bombing people in sync with classical music. The french aren't horrible fighters.
2 Notes you people don't understand: Russia supported Serbia because Serbia was a potential satelite state for Russia's expansion into the Balkans. The war would have started either way, there just needed to be a right trigger to it. The assassination of the archduke was the trigger.
ImperialGuardsman74 Correct, while the assasination was the trigger. There was old arguments since the war before and a feud of the large coal supplied on German/french borders.
GorillaArmedForces You never know; he could be part of the French Resistance, or the French forces that retreated to Britain and continued to fight then.
fish butterfly, fish butterfly great in both the sea and the sky everything perfect, made by design. A plane that was built by a mind. Built by a mind, built by the mind of One lone soldier hoping to find an army. An army of Fish Butterflies.
This is one of the only games that just watching it can give me a sense of real sadness and even make me tear up at times. Most games you have to play for yourself to get the full impact but damn this one is an exception.
+Air Chief Marshal Commander Starscream It's a long long way from tiperraaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrryyyyyyy!!! It's a long long way from tipeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrraaaaaarrrrrrrrrry.... I don't know the rest of the words. Sorry I'm drunk, I'll go home.
Im loving this series, its a beautifully crafted and well thought out game but I have this haunting feeling that 1 of the main characters is going to die and part of me doesnt want to watch the rest of the game just in case.
every time I see a new Valiant Hearts in my inbox, I can't help but get ready to get my heart broken. Every time we see our heroes succeed they are a step closer to tragedy =(
Even thought it's played mainly from the Allies' point of view, it's good to see that this game at least ATTEMPTS to be somewhat unbiased. People tend to be a bit too quick in labeling the Germans as the bad guys in WWI.
7:55 "Stop pulling it." The first time Jesse's ever said that to a woman in his life. ;) Also, 17:05 No, I don't think whacking your bell with a stick is how you get it off, at least that's not the way it usually works for me. O.o
im almost certain that sound you hear when you pick up a historical item is from resident evil 4, when you pick up a key item. and that triumphant sound at 18:05 is from the peter jackson king kong game, im pretty sure.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is the guy from the letter and Mc Cormack was a Scottish general serving in the British ranks. You can be along side him in CoD Classic.
God damit, Jesse! I never liked lectures about the world war, back in middle school history, mainly due to the fact that more often than not, people don't seem to learn from past mistakes, but this game... Do want this game, now! >-
"Ypres" has a long e ("ee") sound for the y, a normal p for the p, a frictive R because it's a pronounced R but I usually just use an uvular trill (imagine that gargling sound when you gargle mouthwash, that is what it is. Some people just sorta phlem instead but I trill) because I have an American accent, and the es is silent. So it sounds like "eep(trill)", or "eep". Yes French is weird when it comes to pronunciation: To us English speakers, it's like they don't pronounce most of the letters but it's more about how the letters interact with eachother that determines if you pronounce it a certain way. Also, general rule of thumb, if there is an e at the end of a word, don't pronounce that e. The "ay" sound at the end of French words is caused by é (or ée if it's feminine and has a certain word that came before it because it has to agree with that word, but I'm trying to keep it simple. Look, it's hard to describe the entire phonetic system of a language to somebody who doesn't speak it over comments on RUclips that'll probably get ignored because the person thinks I'm being a douchebag); usually meaning that it is something that happened in the past. Unless it's the other things that make that sound at the end of a word, but usually an unaccented e means that you pronounce the consonant before it and not the "ay" sound that everybody does before doing that stereotypical french laugh. If you see bonne (feminine for "bon", meaning "good"), you pronounce it bon (kind of), not bonnay.
Anyone who is enjoying this play through really should read up on the events of WW1. The 'miracle of the Marne', the battles for Ypres and the salient, I think Jesse would actually agree with me on this, pick up a book or open a Wiki people!
Personally the game would be even better if it stayed at the same tone at the start because it fits the idea of the first world war, suffering, pain and overall depressing and it loses that tone with things like the car chase part from earlier or the stereotypical Indian soldiers which is a shame because we rarely get a game set in the first world war.
I like how the bandages get cleaner as you get closer to the end of the healing rhythm game. Was your chant of "Stay Alive" a reference to CPR chest compressions being to the beat of the ah ah ah ah's in "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees?
Seeing as Jesse usually sings, and when he said that he didn't even try to mimic the music, he is probably saying "stay alive" because he wants the woman, to well... stay alive.
Odd the Scottish Soldier's name is "McCormack." "Mc" is an Irish prefix, while "Mac" is the Scottish variation. They are found on both sides, but still a bit weird. I don't think the Ubisoft just didn't realize as that seems too silly of a mistake, I'm guessing the letter is based on an actual artifact.
I wonder, can you simply walk past those in need of medical attention? Obviously the first level is about saving everyone, but in the town, nothing prevents you from moving on. If you can, will that affect the cinematics later?
Everyone should go and watch a film called 'Wipers Times', it's about a couple of British officers that start a satirical newspaper on the Western Front. Very funny.
I wonder if anyone else felt terrible when they realized that Wolfgang (from the Prussian letter) was probably lying dead in the ditch with the rest of those Germans...
Words cannot express how disappointed I get when I realize that the little animated Jesse in his outro is just slightly out of sync with the song. Loving the series, BTW.
I think it's pretty bad that so far in this game there hasn't been a single British character and it still does the classic Great Escape thing of creating a completely unbelievable American badass just to get Americans to buy the game… I thought you guys were over this :P
fillosof66689 that's true but apparently they planned to have a British pilot as a playable character but they ended up getting rid of him :P I just think that kind of sucks because pilots were a big part of the war whereas American vigilante duke nukemesc characters weren't :(
Freddy is almost 100% French, and if the devs had any non-plot-related reasons to made him American, it probably was about having a black guy in European theater.
fillosof66689 Quite a lot black Africans from the French colonies fought in Europe. Including such a character would also make the game more educational (which it already is, a nice rarity).
5:30 - Eh... don't you have to cauterize after you saw? It's okay, arteries clog themselves in this game. 18:40 - Guy probably inhaled a thousand gallons of chlorine. Problem? His leg was dislocated. Okay game.
there is a little girl crying and telling him that her mother is traped.
and he responds with "alright alright what else is out here, anything?"
jesse cox, 2014.
It's always nice to see people playing as Anna and giving words of encouragement during those minigames.
I just thought I will say that the person Anna saved in the ditch looked like he was a German solider
It was, nurses saved the lives of soldiers on both sides, enemy soldiers are taken as prisoners of war afterwards.
Medics are above saving lives on only one side, thereby the general rules of not shooting unarmed medics as they are neutral.
And Jesse was right at this one time. That guy only appears there when all others are saved.
I know I just thought I point it out. I also loved the fact that jesse did not notice and just instantly want to help.
Lajinn B
Indeed. One notable nurse who did that was Edith Cavell who was killed via firing squad.
I'm not even going to ask how that cogwheel got up there....
I'm pretty sure that avatar of yours speaks for itself.
o0m9 hehe true enough ;)
What I learned from Valiant Hearts:
Everyone had something obscuring their eyes.
The germans were very fond of bombing people in sync with classical music.
The french aren't horrible fighters.
Of course French aren't horrible fighters. Just remember the Napoleonic Great Army.
And also the fact that France has more Militairy victories in it's history than any other American or European nation
Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated 100 years ago yesterday
***** Not that it really matters, but technically it was austria-hungary that fucked it all up by forcing the war.
Clad_in_shadows blame the russians for supporting the serbs
2 Notes you people don't understand:
Russia supported Serbia because Serbia was a potential satelite state for Russia's expansion into the Balkans.

ImperialGuardsman74 Correct, while the assasination was the trigger. There was old arguments since the war before and a feud of the large coal supplied on German/french borders.
The indiegamer
And also, Germany wanted a piece of France's and the UK's colonies, as you can see in their "Weltpolitik".
Saddest part about this game: Karl's son Victor would probably have been drafted during the second world war
He wouldn't have been fighting long, he's French.
Valiant Hearts 2 confirmed.
CrazyPieCat
shieet mayne
GorillaArmedForces You never know; he could be part of the French Resistance, or the French forces that retreated to Britain and continued to fight then.
Space butterfly never gets old
Best way to stop frost bite.
"I did not know that!"
Thats because its not true! Read the rest of the flavour text damn it!
fish butterfly, fish butterfly
great in both the sea and the sky
everything perfect, made by design.
A plane that was built by a mind.
Built by a mind, built by the mind of One lone soldier hoping to find an army.
An army of Fish Butterflies.
This is one of the only games that just watching it can give me a sense of real sadness and even make me tear up at times. Most games you have to play for yourself to get the full impact but damn this one is an exception.
Jesse's flopping on the end screen is PERFECT. Absolutely PERFECT.
14:58 that scottish soldier. John McCormack is the one who created 'Long Way from Tipperary'. Well that is an Easter Egg if I have ever seen one
+Air Chief Marshal Commander Starscream It's a long long way from tiperraaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrryyyyyyy!!! It's a long long way from tipeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrraaaaaarrrrrrrrrry....
I don't know the rest of the words. Sorry I'm drunk, I'll go home.
+No Free Will I'm afraid it's "its' a long way to tipperary" rather than from, sorry.
Actually in valiant hearts in the background battlefield there is a younger Adolf hitler in the background.
Im loving this series, its a beautifully crafted and well thought out game but I have this haunting feeling that 1 of the main characters is going to die and part of me doesnt want to watch the rest of the game just in case.
dumbledore dies
D0pamineCl0ud And then he comes back as Bruce Willis who is a ghost.
Arumba08
And then he tells Anna he's her father.
someone will die and come back as Liam Neeson
PencilStomper And then Freddy walks in and says "Sorry i'm late i was busy sleeping.....with your wife" DUN DUN DUUUUN
every time I see a new Valiant Hearts in my inbox, I can't help but get ready to get my heart broken. Every time we see our heroes succeed they are a step closer to tragedy =(
We want Cox! We want Cox!
Even thought it's played mainly from the Allies' point of view, it's good to see that this game at least ATTEMPTS to be somewhat unbiased. People tend to be a bit too quick in labeling the Germans as the bad guys in WWI.
This game pulls my heartstrings hard. When Anna arrived in Ypres i almost had tears in my eyes.
Can I just say how much I love Jesse's voice?
god damn that cliff-hanger... don't interrupt an episode like that man...
number one rule to make a series succeed: make annoying cliffhangers to keep the viewers hooked.
Joris Gansevles leave them wanting more
19:39 oh look... a wifi hotspot!
true story haha
that time number is also when ww2 started, coincidence?
I did not occur to me but you are right... :-D
This outro will never get old for me. :)
7:55 "Stop pulling it." The first time Jesse's ever said that to a woman in his life. ;)
Also, 17:05 No, I don't think whacking your bell with a stick is how you get it off, at least that's not the way it usually works for me. O.o

Loving this game
loving the attempted scotts from jessy
Finally a new episode!
Jesse, the man that looks for loot before saving people
This game is amazing.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is the guy from the letter and Mc Cormack was a Scottish general serving in the British ranks. You can be along side him in CoD Classic.
God damit, Jesse! I never liked lectures about the world war, back in middle school history, mainly due to the fact that more often than not, people don't seem to learn from past mistakes, but this game... Do want this game, now! >-
"stop pulling it" the first time Jesse has ever had to tell someone that xD
What a brilliant game.
This game is amazing!
An upload at 2 am... Not like I planned on sleeping anyways.
16:37: "I need cogs to put in here. I need more cogs. Oh, like this giant big one? Ok!"
Let's take this out of context, shall we?
Jesse? Why do you have to be so awesome?
I thought bedpans were for the sick and it was chamber pots that the 'well to do' houses used.
"Ypres" has a long e ("ee") sound for the y, a normal p for the p, a frictive R because it's a pronounced R but I usually just use an uvular trill (imagine that gargling sound when you gargle mouthwash, that is what it is.

"Dont be a dummy and die" *Cue Bombs falling from sky*
Anyone who is enjoying this play through really should read up on the events of WW1. The 'miracle of the Marne', the battles for Ypres and the salient, I think Jesse would actually agree with me on this, pick up a book or open a Wiki people!
this game is really good and makes me have feeling noOoO
It's good to see jesse missing the door in the church like me. I'm not dumb alone
The horrors of war... My senses can already mimic it >~
Better be some god-damn musical numbers in this one, too. >:U
Personally the game would be even better if it stayed at the same tone at the start because it fits the idea of the first world war, suffering, pain and overall depressing and it loses that tone with things like the car chase part from earlier or the stereotypical Indian soldiers which is a shame because we rarely get a game set in the first world war.
This series is effing great I just cant stop watching :L and the singing in the last episode was funny as hell! :L
I like how the bandages get cleaner as you get closer to the end of the healing rhythm game.
Was your chant of "Stay Alive" a reference to CPR chest compressions being to the beat of the ah ah ah ah's in "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees?
Seeing as Jesse usually sings, and when he said that he didn't even try to mimic the music, he is probably saying "stay alive" because he wants the woman, to well... stay alive.
FOUR! SIX! EIGHT! WHO DO WE APPRECIATE? GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JESSE!
Best ending song ever. Now flail your arms while on LSD to fully enjoy the song
Ypres is pronounced as ee-pra in English, but many British soldiers referred to it as wipers, my great great great uncle died there.
Odd the Scottish Soldier's name is "McCormack." "Mc" is an Irish prefix, while "Mac" is the Scottish variation. They are found on both sides, but still a bit weird. I don't think the Ubisoft just didn't realize as that seems too silly of a mistake, I'm guessing the letter is based on an actual artifact.
"Mc" is used commonly in Scotland too. I have a couple of Scottish family members with "Mc" in their surnames.
TheDumbHero Interesting.
Has anyone else noticed the massive German soldier in the background behind a tree at 7:43?
4:50 You should read that to the end...
Ha. Jessie and I figured out the shovel at the same time.
It would be awesome if they do a similar game about the eastern front in ww2, since that was realy brutal too!
Picks up lice comb "This place doesn't seem very clean." That would make the lice less likely to live there, since it's dirtier hair.
I wonder, can you simply walk past those in need of medical attention? Obviously the first level is about saving everyone, but in the town, nothing prevents you from moving on.
If you can, will that affect the cinematics later?
You gotta play Wayward Manor when it comes out. It looks interesting.
Shit something about this game. When it got to the Ypres thing I started to tear up
this game is clever & crazy!!!
the numbers: 468, the answer to everything!
8:39 Wolfgang don't starve?
Ypres known by the Tommy's as Wipers. Frontline news paper was called "Wipers Times".
17:10 welcome to BELLegem
Anyone else notice the glitch in the background, where wounded soldiers were enlarged and stretched out of proportion?
Yes, though I am one year late lol.
Everyone should go and watch a film called 'Wipers Times', it's about a couple of British officers that start a satirical newspaper on the Western Front. Very funny.
I'n case, no one has mentioned it... the saucer is the plate the tea cup sits on, not the cup itself :P
7:55 That is on big soldier... (and what I think is a crow O_O)
How to pronounce Ypres (from comments):
"Ypres is pronounced Yeep"
"The s in Ypres is silent. :)"
"Ypres is pronounced "Yeeps", at least I think so."
I have a very bad feeling that this is going to end in the worst ways.
Speaking of war, yesterday 28th of June, was 100 years from WW 1
I thought that letter was from Cloud McLongfoot for a second!
Anyone else notice the kid's face around 19:50?
I wonder if anyone else felt terrible when they realized that Wolfgang (from the Prussian letter) was probably lying dead in the ditch with the rest of those Germans...
I need to stop being attracted to fictional, animated characters...
Yeah, you do, and yeah, I'm replying to a 6yo comment
Rly like the outrow dude
Ypres Creepres!
"The Ballzest woman" o Jesse!
01:25 'The ballad of bull', anyone?
Greetings fellow Sabaton fan, I was just going to recommend to people "the price of a mile" which is about WW1
This is true as well :P 'Angels calling' also fits well.
Yes, Yes it does.
Words cannot express how disappointed I get when I realize that the little animated Jesse in his outro is just slightly out of sync with the song.
Loving the series, BTW.
if you close the numbers are 26.14.38
Anna is such a pretty name.
The horrible truth: People die in war. Especially if you're losing.
In french, Ypres is pronounced without s ("Eepre")
space butter fish space butter fish
the plane was a tigermoth sorry cox not quite a butterfly
I think it's pretty bad that so far in this game there hasn't been a single British character and it still does the classic Great Escape thing of creating a completely unbelievable American badass just to get Americans to buy the game… I thought you guys were over this :P
There where some British soldiers and officers alongside Freddy's unit when he was about to meet Emile and the dog.
fillosof66689 that's true but apparently they planned to have a British pilot as a playable character but they ended up getting rid of him :P I just think that kind of sucks because pilots were a big part of the war whereas American vigilante duke nukemesc characters weren't :(

fillosof66689 Quite a lot black Africans from the French colonies fought in Europe. Including such a character would also make the game more educational (which it already is, a nice rarity).
callum west i agree with you, i find it quite sad when they do this ...
Ypres is pronounced like 'eep' i think
The *s* in Ypres is silent. :)
Eep!
You are only making the probability of me saying "Wipers" greater.
ImperialGuardsman74 It's okay, it was mispronounced so much during WWI that it's now an official pronunciation.
Jeepers Ypres!
A better word would be brave or bad ass 2:55 - 2:56.
5:30 - Eh... don't you have to cauterize after you saw? It's okay, arteries clog themselves in this game.
18:40 - Guy probably inhaled a thousand gallons of chlorine. Problem? His leg was dislocated. Okay game.
ypres is pronounced "eep"
Ypres is pronounced "eep". Hope this helped.
It's an eagle
The tone of this game is all over the place.
I finished! More please!
@5:37 i swear she said Hare Krishna.
Aced that Scottish accent
