Transistor was developed by Supergiant Games.
You kinda knew this was a suicide mission when she locked herself out of her apartment after a last meal of sea monster pizza.
This video was what I really needed, not an opinion, but a summary of the story. Personally, I found that while playing the game the story was a bit confusing, but while I was watching your video, I could focus only on the story and reflect about everything that was the experience of playing this game.
Awesome voice, awesome summary, awesome video.
Thank you.
0AirBlast That is the idea of these videos, a plot summary so that people can take in the story without having to do a full playthrough of the game. =) Glad to hear you enjoyed it, it means a lot. =)
I also noticed that the special process, such as sybil and the spine, talk to you in a very distorted voice. Sybil says she is sorry and she can't help it. It made me want to defeat her only to make sure she could rest afterwards. Was never a fan of her function though.
Her function is pretty amazing when you upgraded it with Switch / Banish.
actually the reason she went into the spine wasn't to finish it per se, it was because at one of the terminals mentioning the spine, she talks with the man inside the transistor and she says she would find whatever was doing that to him and break it's heart, otherwise good recap!
exactly
How I can rewatch this vid after 7 years and still get emotional and weepy at the ending, just the swell of music as Red sits next to him? Hits me just the same somehow
Best story analysis I've found so far, by far. The only thing in your version that I interpreted differently was, as you mentioned, towards the end when you get to choose the weather by using the OVC Terminal, it seems that Red now has the power to overwrite the polls and make choices for everyone in Cloudbank. I interpreted this as in she is the only "human" or person left alive. Which imo also better explains her lover's reluctance in Red's final choice to join him inside the Transistor, instead of rebuilding the race.
+Elvis Nilsson Thanks! Also yeah, that is highly possible!
Elvis Nilsson its not an inperpertation... its literally what happened
@Jack Burton she has admin control over the process, I'd imagine with enough effort she could just build a person out of that. The process already started the groundwork.
I forget how much I liked the ending. I hear loads of people didn't like it.
Gioell Rivera im in love with the ending
I loved it as well, people just have different opinions :)
@@sunflowers-in-tulips6705 I guess bittersweet isn't everyone's cup of tea
She finally return his jacket. This is one of the most beautifull endings ever.
@@marcusviniciusmagalhaesdea3779 I just replayed it for New Years - I just realized what you said is true.
Why do you think the Process in so infatuated with Red? I could see that there was something about her they like, but on the return journey for Royce, you find them filled in her stage, clapping when she hums, and down the road, a bunch of Snapshots are guarding her large poster on the wall. It's really weird how much they seem to adore her; not fighting her outright if they don't really need to. (I also really wonder if anyone will find her body with the transistor and pick it up, allowing them to rebuild Cloudbank, since she left it broken and blank.)
I think the process was infatuated with many influencial people, but we never met them because they were already traces.
I think that the transistor's processing of her lover had an effect on the Process itself prior to going to reset mode. Thus, it reacts as the lover did when she sang: breath-taken.
The process obey the one with the transistor. As the story played out, Red got more control of it, becoming literally a Superuser or an administrator, so the process started to obey her, just like they obeyed the Camerata before.
I'm glad someone thought of doing summaries of games that don't have HUGE fanbases. Thanks for doing such a unique video series (:
oh my god, i was very confused at watching the gameplay at first. but just when i saw the thumbnail of this video and its title at the recommendations, i thank the imperfect heavens that i managed to get a hold of this.
+J.A. Lalanto I'm happy you got so much out of it, really warms the heart. =)
Theory
Red's father is Rick Astley
1. Red hair
2. A fricking famous singer
3. 16:18 SHE'S NEVER GONNA GIVE HIM UP!!!!
love this game. a shame that it is underated
Nozeky it actually sold pretty well, It just doesn't have a very big fanbase
Why dont you explain that ‘The Spine’ was a landmark in the city that was processed
Yo this was great. When I played the game I was a bit confused and I didn't quite get it all, but I sure do now after watching this! I'd love to see more of these. It doesn't have to be a complicated game per say. Just a recap like this one would work with any game. Just experiencing it again will suffice as a viewer. :)
+Lunacy Gaming Hey. I'm not an expert but I think your machine is a bit too weak, taking into consideration you only have 2 gigs of ram. If you had at least 4 I think you'd be good with a minimal settings setup. But what I do know is that you can refund games fairly easy on Steam nowadays. If you buy the game, try it and if it just seems impossible either refund it or keep it till you have a better machine.
‘The man’ is not a processed human, just a procces unit taking its form
thank you very much. I started the game 6 monthes ago and jusg finished it. It was a nice bossfight. anyway i forgot most of the story so your video really helped me a lot.
thanks
You have a good voice for this sort of thing. Subbing.
Good summary for a great game
Dantes61680 Thanks mate, glad you like it!
This is a great video, I learned so much about the game's story that i missed while playing. Thank you for making this fantastic video
Nice video, glad you took the time to make it.
+GamblingDementor My pleasure, glad you liked it! =)
Great video, thank you for that!
Excellent video, thanks for bringing us this story
Thank you this was really helpful!
+Anna m My pleasure! =)
I'm hoping this game gets a Physical Copy ! Limited Run Please!!
Great summary. Barely any errors and only really minor ones if any.
raykye02 Thank you! I try to be as through as possible, but some minor things still slip through the net every now and then. ^^
The ending :'( I can't even listen to the song that plays in the credits without getting emotional
I love the ffX background
What an excellent video about a wonderful game
My smooth brain only realize the plot at the near end and i bawled at the ending. It felt like i got punched one after another.
I wish I could still use the Transistor theme music as my main menu screen on ps5
You should do White Night :)
wait they where lovers before they tried to assasinate her? I thought that they catually met that moment and she fall in love with him during the way.
great work
subved. Great vid brother
Nice video. But my main question is what is THIS (16:34) place? This "outside"? What are all those transistor, how come the enemy is wearing one as well as doing your "time-stopping" technique? Why is the only way to go back killing one another?
No matter how much time has passed, I just finished the game a couple of days ago, and I want to answer. This is the location inside the transistor. But they were not integrated into the transistor, like others, but were only inside. Why they had to kill each other in the end, I suspect, because this determined who would be the real owner of the transistor, and who would rule the city. After all, voting continues in the city, even after everyone has died. And with this you can change the city as you want. And they fight with virtual transistors, this is a kind of recursion. I hope I answered your questions. I answered based on my findings
@@aronmix8251 awesome, thanks!
what a fucking masterpiece need to newgame + this imediately
Thanks so much! I was definitely confused about this games, specifically the Camerata, thanks for making it easier to understand!
Vídeo muito bom cara
Hades Progenitor
Yes can you pls do bloodborne
Ramon Gomez I might actually do that! I haven't fully decided what game to do next, but Bloodborne is very much on my mind now and it is a game I am very interested in. =)
The feelings
So many unanswered questions. What is the transistor, what is the cradle ,why did they want those 4 people in particular what is this disease exactly egt i could go on all night lol
So why did red lose her voice?
+matster2468 I touch on that briefly in the speculation video, but I'm afraid the answer comes down to: I don't know. It's one of those things that there are few if any hints as to why it happens. =)
OpyDoesStory its strange that something so critical as that wouldnt be explained fully. oh well
matster2468 when you inspect red's information in the transistor you actually see something like " partial transmission happened" meaning when she and her BF were attacked the transistor slightly clipped her before killing the other guy which probably caused an error transmitting part of her trace "alongside her voice" and ownership into the transistor.
this is also why the camerata couldn't just retrieve the transistor after the attack
Callie oh damn. Thank you for the reply :)
I just realized. wait. Maybe the reason that the messages in the Bracket towers was by asher was because Grant also lost his voice? Maybe if youre the owner of the transistor, it takes your voice? I dunno, maybe kind of unlikely. Asher does say "Grant can't talk right now."
Disappointed that she ends it. All that fighting and finding out to call it quits.
She didn't call it quits, she made her own happy ending in the only way she could
uh wtf? So basically everything I do in the game meant nothing since she could of done that at the start......???? Worst story ever.
are you talking about the bridge to Fairview? if so, the reason you couldn't do that is because 1) it was a petition that needed more votes, 2) they didn't know where Royce was, 3) she didn't know that the transistor had that kind of power/she wasn't able to override the terminals and the choices/polls yet
that, and if you were able to do that from the start, there wouldn't be much of a story, or much of a game for that matter.
(personally, I'm a sucker for games that are story-heavy, especially with how creative Transistor is)
This game sucked. I couldn't stand it. The narration irritated the shit out of me. The purpose was baffling. Red pissed me off. the music pissed me off. the singing pissed me off. I just hated this game's "experience".
I'm glad i didn't continue playing this game. Shitty story telling, the wrong way to do Noir, extremely too cryptic and with a shitty, no player choice ending. Max Payne does this a WHOLE lot better. Fuck this game.
@@TLNetworkGuru They were trying to be hipster and cool maybe, with a mystery box story.
Lmao
@@TLNetworkGuru calm down kid. Although it's cryptic and too open ended, it's pretty well written
