King's Quest V - All Game Overs [Extended Cut]

  • This video contains all the different ways you can lose in the CD version of King's Quest V. The clips in the Extended Cut also contain various other actions, lines, and narrations that (mostly) pertain to the deaths as well (including many of very helpful Cedric's very helpful warnings).
    If you prefer a cleaner cut without all the extra stuff and just want to watch Graham dying a bunch of times in succession, you can instead watch the Condensed Cut here: • King's Quest V - All G...
    I made videos similar to this in 2007 and they're still getting a good number of views so they sorely needed an upgrade. Not only is this one now in HD, but it features the MT-32 MIDI module, so the music sounds much better as well.
    Dead ends are included in the Extended Cut, but a few cases were excluded because there's nothing to show. Many times a dead end will occur if you leave an item behind and cannot go back to pick it up. Sometimes the game will do something special in response to these cases (e.g. the iron bar), in which case this video will show what happens. But if the game does nothing special for that item (e.g. the golden locket), then it didn't make the video.

    • @shadyparadox
      @shadyparadox  7 лет назад +3

      Yeah, the snake only has that one line, and it's triggered by the hand command instead of the talk one like you would think. That's why a lot of people don't know about it, and really the only reason I showed it.
      And yep, the KQ6 videos need an upgrade too. However, its soundtrack was not composed on the MT-32 so I'll have to figure out something else for that.
      I actually have considered making a full walkthrough of the game in this format. I've also thought about making a Let's Play in the format similar to what I'm doing with Space Quest IV right now, but at the moment I don't see how I'd come up with enough material to keep it entertaining and informative enough throughout.

  • @Crimson47
    @Crimson47 3 года назад +7

    I’ve actually found through playing the game multiple times that, if you're especially unlucky, there’s a random chance of bumping into Mordack in his bedroom or in his laboratory (10% and 30% respectively). In those situations, he just kills you instantly as soon as you enter the room. Worst of all? There is no way to prevent it from happening; you just have to hope the RNG isn't feeling spiteful. It’s pretty frustrating because this can happen even after dealing with both the blue beast and Mannanan. It doesn’t happen if Mannanan shows up in Mordack’s bedroom because the game can’t cause both events to happen at once. Because you only have to enter the bedroom and you have a 90% chance of not dying if you do so, I'm not surprised it isn't well-known.
    Also, I find it very strange that the programmers bothered coding a unique death situation in the event you failed to pick up the iron bar by spawning the blue beast outside of Mordack’s castle - especially given that A) you still get a point for getting captured and B) I can’t realistically envision any adventure game player capable of making it through the mountains actively deciding not to pick up the iron bar. I wager that most players didn't know the blue beast is even capable of appearing outside of Mordack's castle until they watched this video.

    I overlapped two tabs with Graham falling to his death at 28:34 with Javert's suicide in Les Misérables (the original musical). It had a unique way of Graham singing a song about his despair, and his decision to end his life by falling off a cliff when Javert says, "there is no way to go on." The orchestral music is very fitting with an image of the game over screen.

    I'm confused. If those particular trades make the game impossible to win why does the game allow you to do it? Maybe it's because I didn't grow up in that particular era in gaming (only recently started getting interested in Sierra games). It's just weird seeing as it seems eager to kill you quickly for the slightest mistake otherwise. Same for Mannaan alerting Mordack. Is there any particular point to letting the player wander before he kills them?

    • @shadyparadox
      @shadyparadox  6 лет назад +11

      Thomas Nevitt Yes, the modern unwritten rules for adventure game design such as not allowing dead ends (playable conditions in which winning is impossible) were arrived at because of games like this.
      In each scenario, such as those bad trades, disturbing the cat, or many other cases that are also in the video, the game is in a dead end state, which is now highly frowned upon. But we had to learn this by experimentation.

    • @RobobTheGreat
      @RobobTheGreat 2 года назад +4

      In addition to what shadyparadox posted, King's Quest V was the first KQ game not to use a text parser to form commands. When Sierra announced that KQ5 was going to be fully point-n-click, they got criticism from some fans about "dumbing down" the interface. So, the developers felt they should compensate by cranking up the difficulty of the game's puzzles. At the time, including possible "dead ends"--for which Sierra was particularly notorious--was an accepted form of difficulty in adventure games.

      Never pay more than is asked for (or pay with something other than a coin if they ask for a coin) because doing so will make the game unwinnable. It's kind of funny that they even recorded dialogue for when you overpay, hinting that you probably did something wrong.

    • @shadyparadox
      @shadyparadox  7 месяцев назад +1

      There are several rooms in the castle that the cat may appear in. Each time you enter one of those rooms, an RNG determines whether he actually does. Once he's there, you must complete both steps of the puzzle before you leave the screen, or else the game becomes unwinnable.
      But, because it's an RNG, there's a chance you'll never encounter him. So it's still technically optional.

      @PatSeagramson 7 месяцев назад

      @@shadyparadox Thanks for the response! I was trying to experiment myself to see if there was any repercussions to not dealing with the cat, but I guess ultimately it's just missing out on points if you get lucky enough to not get the RNG to run into the cat.
