    Okay, so in hindsight, and from reading the comments, it seems that there were 3 possible reasons for Jacob getting gravely injured:
    1) Jacob got torn apart by a devolved Ferris
    2) Jacob got torn apart by the group of Biophages
    3) Jacob was wounded and burned by the self destruct explosion
    I like the thought of Ferris somehow being able to devolve again, but in hindsight, option 3 actually makes the most sense. What do you guys think?

    I dont think that Ferris was the one that left Jacob on that state since
    1) he is already dead
    2) That mutation of Ferris does no longer exist
    For me it was either the gigant horde of biophages that Dani saw coming at him (I also really doubt this is the reason Maulher found him in that state, Jacob has killed way many enemies during the game and Biophages dont just tear you apart and leave you barely breathing, they straight up kill you.
    For me Jacob got those wounds because of the explosions and falling rocks, the whole part was going down after all so it makes sense he was crushed.

    I like how there are a lot of depictions of "two face", symbolised by Jacob's colleague Max dying with half his face burned off. Jacob's face also is half burned off at the end. The boss monsters also often have two heads.
    A nice little touch that underscores the theme of the game, the duality of good and evil and many of the characters inner conflict with guilt.

    @YetAnotherWittyUserName 8 месяцев назад +54

    Y'know, while I understand how "it was a dream" endings feel kinda cheap, the fact that Jacob spent his final moments as a human antenna in a desperate gamble to expose the UJC - a gamble that both the characters and us, the viewers, aren't sure will work - was chilling and bleak in a way that the best horror stories are. And at the risk of reading too much into it, it's fitting in a way that the core implants, devices meant to track the prisoners and keep them in line, ended up potentially becoming the instruments of their liberation. Never played this game but I'm invested in the lore now. Great video.

Like, he actually is still alive and kicking and there really is a shuttle, but he gets the option to stay behind and help Mahler expose the truth instead of escaping? Something along those lines. I don’t know why but the whole “it’s all a dream” kind of took away from the ending a bit.

The opinion that follows correctly from these objective facts is that Jacob is a terrible character and the prison was an interesting location that they did shit-all to promote. Similar games with corridor halls do things to make those corridors feel not like corridors - dead space is a great example of this concept.

    It looks like they're really setting up for Dani to be the next protagonist- even going so far as to make her the chosen one in another name- which I find rather disappointing. She was very, uh, insufferable during the initial game. When she wasn't a giant hypocrite, she was a useless damsel-in-distress having to get carried around. There was virtually nothing interesting or redeemable about her. Even her tragic backstory was weak compared to some others we've seen.
    I feel like killing off Jacob was a mistake. A shocking ending is a shocking ending and all, but now they cut off the actually interesting character for someone who they obviously think is really cool, but who is likely going to be equally insufferable and useless in the next game.

      I hear you on that, but in its defense I think that explaining what the group is makes the world it’s in more realistic. It wasn’t some freak accident, which is nice, because we’ve seen those a lot. Even though it was an outbreak, it was orchestrated which is rare. The reason for why it was orchestrated tho, to find the sole survivor, is intriguing because it makes you wonder why they need one? Do they just wanna rope Dani into kallipolis? What could a secret evil cult with plans to find the next step in human evolution do with that next step? It also kinda opens up the world a bit more because now we now how far reaching this cult is. So they could go anywhere with this story if they wanted. Start a new outbreak? Collect more sole survivors? Send em all out into space to some distant planet that had ancient relatives of that same biophage already dormant on the planet? (Little dead space 3 action) or it could focus around Dani’s outer way or whatever the group was called, and what they do with they info that Dani gets to them( if she even gets it to them) you know?

    One thing Mahler may had been truthful about,its his mind making everything to protect itself. Maybe some subconscious parts of his brain still react somewhat while being sedate/life support: The constant phrase of 'We gotta keep fighting', may be his subconscious not wanting to die, the hallucinations/messages wrotten in blood could be his guilty about everything, and the bio-bot saying 'No escape' is his memories of Ferries constantly repeating that phrase.
    Lastly,the whole cargo ship is his brain hugging to the slim hope of surviving this hell.
    Just for eventually die off at Mahler's table.
    My question is: To who and where Mahler send the info?, did she truly uploaded to the 'internet', or did she send it to Duncan's cult/iluminati type of thing. I mean,come on, the lady is capable of doing horrible things,I doubt she would care to lie to someone at their death bed.

    • @silenthero2795
      @silenthero2795 Год назад +18

      The whole DLC is basically a symbolism to get those data across Dani since Jacob's core got linked to her. Mahler uploaded the data, Jacob did his best to send it in any way his dying brain could do, and it did get across since you "left" with Jacob's original ship, now containing valuable data instead of a virus thus giving him redemption to what he did.

    Jacob is gone? That sucks he was one of the only parts I really liked. Didn't care much for the whole Marker Cult v2 sure the whole desire for human evolution thing was somewhat interesting but it falls rather flat. The combat was alright at best and agonizing at worst. With a clunky close quarter combat system and a abundance of annoying enemies the game ended up feeling like a hellish cross of doom and darksouls with you having to adapt to the enemies flow not to mention how punished you are if you get garaged up on and circled; Combined with the broken auto saves sending back several combat encounters (Not to mention drops being random leading you to being worse off than the pervious go) it just became a slog.

He considers the natures of existing regimes and then proposes a series of hypothetical cities in comparison, culminating in Kallipolis (Καλλίπολις), a utopian city-state ruled by a class of philosopher-kings. They also discuss ageing, love, theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, and the role of the philosopher and of poetry in society. The dialogue's set give or take during the time of the Peloponnesian War.

    This was a great explaining video and I could tell you put a lot of research into it. Personally I'd love a Callisto Protocol 2 and it would make sense for you to be playing as Dani as she is still alive and it would lead to exploring her backstory more. Jacob was a great character for this game though and exploring his characters mental health and him hallucinating things was very interesting because in reality he was in a very bad state and he obviously could have sustained brain damage as well as having all his arms and legs ripped off. I thought The Callisto Protocol was both intriguing and very dark subject matter which is exactly what I like to see in a sci-fi horror video game. Great work mate

Even though the game has some interesting aspects and ideas, I feel like generally it all feels quite mediocre - not bad, but just meh. Much love to the video btw!

      To be fair it took them about 7 month which is not a lot for a game look really good

      @yotengo9109 they had all the things in place(characters, physics, engine etc) they just needed a story to put together. Cost a lot for a season pass for not much in my eyes

      @@ChrisDanceMusic true but they still need to make the new enemie, the hammer, the map, the small story, and maybe making the riot mode during making of the dlc

      @yotengo9109 with the money they made. I would expect a big team. Unsure if there are bugs as cant remember any so hopefully that isnt a problem as most companies put out disasters these days and its properly patched a year later. I did like the game but less than 2hrs wasnt worth it for me

      @@ChrisDanceMusic my guy it took them about 161.5 millions dollars to made the game, and the game only sold two of the five million copies( I hope that make sense) so maybe that could be another reason why the dlc was short, also you could search information by yourself
