Wow three bot replies. Seems the automatons are offended lol. But for real, AI voices have come a long way, but they can't act. They just sound less like robots. They'll probably have an advanced version in the future capable of mimicking emotions for specific text lines etc but can't imagine it ever being indistinguishable from a real voice actor.
I love the fact that the mini-map is just the normal game view but projected at a higher angle. It's not even a simplified version, as it also renders particles and textures. That would probably explain a good amount of the game's terrible performance.
old games on Gameboy like super mario land could be beat in 20 minutes and are still remembered as great classics, this on the other hand is bellow garbage, wouldn't play if you pay me 9dollars, charlie is in a good spot playing shity games and getting all them dineros
9 dollars? A game of such pristine quality, that captures perfect emotions, character design, and exciting and non-repeating gameplay for that much? That is so generous. It has immaculate, bug-free quality with original images and sounds, and its 9 dollars. How thoughtful
While it might be very awkward and not exactly practical, it's certainly plausible considering the weight of a Zweihander. It's a common misconception that swords are heavier than they actually are.

Maybe if they keep trying they'll get there eventually.

This HAS to be the next speedrun challenge!
Charlie talking during the game play showed more emotion than the games dialog
I'm fairly certain the music at 0:22 is stolen from outer wilds echoes of the eye
"Give us weapons!"
"Brother I am about to die"
Most realistic convo in videogames ever.
Gotta love how Charlie is now getting into mobile gaming

@@Vaultboythefightingmachine First bot I can get behind
If this is a joke they actually managed to make a hilarious one.
“Brother, I’m about to die” boutta be my catch phrase for the summer
Thats truly the best game in the world, so much lore and story, if they do not make a 2nd one it will never be forgotten in gaming history.
2:39 I'm pretty sure that transition screen is ripped from Deus Ex HR. And the font looks like the one that was used for Blade Runner
XD
this still looks better then the fashion show in meta

True 😂
Gollum is like the Morbius of video games
Your comment got stolen by a sex bot
my brain was so desperate to see something good that i thought there was a giant stalking you from above the trees at 7:48
If you ignore the price tag it's honestly kinda impressive assuming it's devs first game or close to. Gollum on the other hand has no excuses
have you ever attempted to make a game? its not like this insane thing that you need 4 degrees to do things like unreal engine make it trivial
@@LOCKET2547 not recently no, and if it really isn't that hard then why are there so many trash games? How does gollum exist if it's THAT easy and they had an entire studio working on it hmm? 🤔 Why do you feel the need to minimise my compliment to someone you don't know? In an attempt to feel better about your own lack of accomplishments perhaps? Curious
@@kwoni3337 anyone who says making an actually good, polished 3D game is easy has obviously never tried it. Not that it’s insanely impossible or anything but the amount of work involved is a lot for 1 person or even a small team is insane
@@kwoni3337 its not like this game is unpolished, its fundamentally broken every single aspect of this game has something wrong with it, now listen baby boy this what happens when someone misunderstands how long it takes to develop a game the fact he would upload this broken mess to steam for NINE DOLLARS is crazy if your gonna make a broken mess make it free and gollum was fundamentally flawed made as a rushed cashgrab for the lord of the rings series i mean have you ever even heard of Daedalic Entertainment? and my bad i undermined your compliment on something you have no idea what your talking about
@@LOCKET2547 bro you're reading way too far into this. I literally said if you ignore the price it's "kinda impressive" assuming it's the devs first game. I didn't say it was a good game, I didn't say it wasn't broken, I didn't say it was worth $9. I said it was kinda impressive. That's it. And yea I have heard of Daedalic, have you not? They published divinity original sin 1 and 2, made the edna and Harvey games which I've played a couple of, aer memories of old and state of mind was pretty good as well. The guy that voice acted geralt is in it. Your point? Oh wait it's completely undermined now because you didn't expect me to know that. Oops. Really showing how much you know about the indie scene lol. You keep saying I don't know anything about game dev and yet you keep showing everyone that your own knowledge level is a lot lower than you think it is. Just take the L and move on bud 👍
"Brother, I'm about to die. 😐"

Charlie playing this will probably be the best thing that happens for the Devs.
Cant wait for the speedrun. The potential tech is incredible.
The most comical thing is the FPS counter on the menu screen.
so cool to see geralt of rivia making cameos in another games! truly immersive world building!
There was so much emotions in the dialogue between the father and son during the first scene I cried
Such splendor, beauty and attention to detail. I'm literally lost for words... I mean obviously there are one or two graphical defects but that's simply because we've reached the end of what's capable on current gen hardware such as the GTX 4090 Ti 👍
I'm very glad that the devs clarified that "Dark Days: Devil Hunt: Season 1" is "the First Season of Dark Days: Devil Hunt." Never would've figured that one out without clarification.
"Its just a lion man"
"I WILL BURRY YOU!!"
The main reason why i love this content is because Charlie can just act so surprised, it is making me lose it each time like bro there is a dragon and his biggest problem is that that isn't a fish
The Gollum devs quickly pumped this out and I must say it is suprisingly well
6:27 the demon slaming the ground using the kid killed me 😂
And him too, probably
@@dylanbyers7382 💀
The devs used 8% power of effort spell
How much AI do you want to make this game?
"DEV": YES
I really like how the HP guage wasn't even on the correct layer; it was in front of the frame slapped in there lazily
