Here's one I found out while watching one of Jon's cross-American journey videos. The full original name of Los Angeles is "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula" which means "The Town of Our Lady the Queen of Angels of the River Porciúncula".
'Size doesn't mean anything' The legend speaks of perspective. The true meaning is that if you have a small pickle, you can turn it into a cucumber by pushing your victim's face closer to it.
This is like super advanced assassin tombs from like the Ezio trilogy with the puzzles and climbing. As if someone was like “let’s make a game just about the puzzles” and it looks amazing
"I don't like jellyfish, I don't like jellyfish, I don't like jellyfish!" Hey Jon, did you know there's a jellyfish that turns back into a kid when it's suffering from old age, making it immortal as long as it isn't killed.
This game is about choosing your desert island spheres, the choice of eight 4 dimensional song tracks you'd like to listen to on your perfect paradise 4d island...
Have you ever seen Crimson Tide with Gene Hackman and Diesel Washington? At the beginning of the movie Gene Hackman is the captain of a submarine and Diesel Washington is his new second in command, and they're just leaving harbor, still above the surface, and they're both standing on the bridge just outside the hatch, about to dive under for six months, and Hackman says to Washington "This is my favorite moment right here..." while looking out at the rising sun above the endless ocean, and Washington doesn't say a word. Hackman then turns to Hunter (Washington) and says "Bravo Hunter, your stock just went up a couple of points..." Washington turns to his captain and says "Sir?" to which he replies "You knew to keep your mouth shut... most eggheads just want to talk it away." before turning to another hand, and ordering the ship under.
A tample and a king, a fox. A legend about a temple and a king and something to do with a fox... sounds a lot like a song from Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow... 🌈
Jon, f you liked this then you should check out Cloudborn at some point. It's a similar game, but in VR. Obviously the current weather isn't great for playing VR, but it's definitely worth checking out when things get a bit cooler.
Okay, I wasn't gonna do this but then you found the conch. So, you start by waking up on a beach on an island with no clue how you got there or where there is, and as you travel around it you collect musical instruments? If the game doesn't conclude with a giant egg containing the 'airwhale' who is neither whale nor air, I admit I'll be disappointed.
I hate games that take controll from you for upwards of *10 seconds* just to point the camera towards something and say “look at me, aren’t I pretty?” That, along with the fact that the puzzles are just a variation of _Go Here - Press the shout button, Go there - Push a box_ killed my interest in the game before I even played half an hour of it. That being said, I did get the game for free from a GOG sale, so I can’t complain too much, and it was nice seeing Jon play trough it and having a relaxing time.
I’m both fond and not fond of this game, because it’s a bait and switch. If I had known that it was a game about [SPOILER REDACTED] from the start, I would have been fine with it. But I thought it was a fun adventure game like Jon thinks it is in this video, when that’s only the first of five stages. It gets dark and allegorical later, and I wasn’t prepared for that, and I sort of resent it for pulling that. That said, I would love to see Jon finish this game for us.
When I was about 13 I was on a sand bar and a dead jellyfish floated up and got a couple tentacles(?) wrapped around my hand. Hurt like a son of a bitch.
Played this through about three months ago. It's a cool game, if a bit dull and repetitive. It really could have used some spoken or written story to break up the pace. I'm NOT asking for cutscenes or long monologues, but give us _something_ to grab on. This game is too long for its story to be told entirely with visuals. Admittedly, that puzzle in 46:10 was one of my biggest "holy shit" moments in gaming.
Must be too much Warframe, but I can't look at this gilded white fancy architecture without thinking that the people who lived in or used this place before it was ruined must have been dicks. xD
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and lots of games have this exact same art style so some people obviously like it but I'm not a fan. Bland and boring with no detail or life.
As a person who loves low poly art and develops games using said style, I would like to know why you don't like low poly? It would be very interesting.
What's the deal about Denuvo? I absolutely don't get it. I remember REALLY nasty and anno yingcopy-protection systems Think AC2. They were an absolute pain in the ass. Denuovo is unnoticable so it's FINE. That is one of these typical madeup bullshit shitstorms with no shit and hardly any wind. And Firewatch was great. Including the end. And smooth. Whatever that means. It didn't have exactly a challenging graphics engine.
SquaredSpekz Lack of detail, mainly. Also, there is a degree of 'sameyness' between, say, Rime and Journey and a few others I've seen (but can't bring names to mind) that makes me think there is a formula at work, simple graphics, chill out music, no dialogue and simplistic platforming related puzzles that hides a lack of story and tale telling. Obviously that is a larger thing than just the graphical style, but it's a style that is an integral part of the formula. I guess using a low poly, minimalist style also makes each example look a lot like the next example, and the next... Also, the experience of playing with objects that resemble origami just reminds me I'm playing with hollow constructs... which takes me out of the immersion. The more extreme the low poly model, the worse it becomes. I apologise for being a little imprecise, I've not had to pin this down in actual words before. It's a very visceral dislike and though I accept that people like Jon are being honest when they call it beautiful, I am at a loss to see it. To my eye, looking at this is like looking at poorly cut pieces of card. I find photorealism, or detail orientated art much more engaging. Textures, bump maps etc that trick your head into almost feeling the surface on an object. I may be getting a bit over stated, but I hope you get the idea.
AnonEyeMouse that's quite interesting, if I could ask, do you feel similarly about more detailed but highly stylised games, e.g. Dishonoured? When I look at these styles of games I'm used to using my imagination to fill in all the details without thinking about it, letting me focus on what's really important as it'll be the only thing with any detail, but I would imagine if you have more brain space than me for taking in detail and thinking about the little things and working stuff out how it could look like just a not very good representation of things in the game world
Joshua Merrick I enjoyed dishonoured and most of the graphics I enjoyed. The character models, especially the males with oversized hands and cartoonish faces I didn't like as much. The buildings and streets were impressive to me. I guess it very well could be that I need a lot of detail to fill up the visual part of my brain. I don't know, it sounds like a fun explanation.
30:27 Jon carelessly tramples a seagull nest.
36:06 and again.
well, it's this games version of "kill everything"
Jon committing genocide on bird eggs without noticing it was my favourite part in the video.
5:50 Claire's been gone less than an hour and already he's begun talking to himself.
It's normal for Jon he talks to himself atleast once a video along with his incredibly low perception
30:27 RIP baby birds
Also, just saw the time controlling bit. Red cloak guy is MC?
10:30 whats the tragic jellyfish backstory
For your information a baby boar is called a shoat. A group of baby boars is called a farrow.
I love useless information! Cheers mate!🍻
FunkyFyreMunky I'm glad you shoat us that info. Should I farrow you for more interesting facts?
Here's one I found out while watching one of Jon's cross-American journey videos. The full original name of Los Angeles is "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula" which means "The Town of Our Lady the Queen of Angels of the River Porciúncula".
This game is so beautiful and has such a sad ending.
'Size doesn't mean anything'
The legend speaks of perspective. The true meaning is that if you have a small pickle, you can turn it into a cucumber by pushing your victim's face closer to it.
I literally JUST came out from finishing Rime, switch over to RUclips and what do I see here?
Played this one through a couple months ago. So enjoyable and incredibly sad.
James (character) and the giant apricot. Also Tutorial Fox
I thought Jon disliked this kind of game. light puzzle, vague story, making noises to activate stuff, artsy, pretty much journey isn't it.
This is like super advanced assassin tombs from like the Ezio trilogy with the puzzles and climbing. As if someone was like “let’s make a game just about the puzzles” and it looks amazing
Piglets nurse therefore the mother should have eaten the giant apricot
"I don't like jellyfish, I don't like jellyfish, I don't like jellyfish!"
Hey Jon, did you know there's a jellyfish that turns back into a kid when it's suffering from old age, making it immortal as long as it isn't killed.
I think Jon might just be the most delightfully English person ever
At 18:00 if you stood in a specific spot, all 3 statues light up.

4:00 PSA: Never even think about touching a baby warthog in real life. If the mother is around, and she probably is, she will tear you a new asshole.
Love your vids keep the good work up !
59:00 LOL WTF IS THAT HAHAHAHAHAHA
love the videos man
A tample and a king, a fox. A legend about a temple and a king and something to do with a fox... sounds a lot like a song from Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow... 🌈
30:28 Rip seagull eggs

This game has crabs :D
BEST
GAME
EVER!
Who is this man, and what has he done to the Jon that played Journey and Abzu?
When I played this it didn't really grab me, unfortunately. Love the graphical style though.
It's pretty cool but I found it a bit repetitive and monotonic. The graphics are great and the ending saved much, though.
beep boop running human emotions.exe
Is this God of War: No Kill ?
Has Jon ever played Okami?
Jon keeps stepping on all of the seagull eggs D:
"These don't seem to do anything" -Jonception
21:38 JON YOU SAID THE FORBIDDEN WORD! Now you’ll be demonetized!
This video made my tower go into extendo-mode ;) I'll see myself out...
Rime: Son Of Rome
MC Escher is like "well thats just impossible"
An evil entity acting like it's good, so... Shadow of the Colossus.
Jon, if I ever have children, can you just come over and say "It's a conch." when I want them to go to bed?
I hate games that take controll from you for upwards of *10 seconds* just to point the camera towards something and say “look at me, aren’t I pretty?” That, along with the fact that the puzzles are just a variation of _Go Here - Press the shout button, Go there - Push a box_ killed my interest in the game before I even played half an hour of it.

10:00 That looks NOTHING like a Klingon, Jon.
you can make a robot friend if you play the game longer
"Too many jellyfish - 9/10" Jon
seems like the ideal game for kids to get them out of nothing but violent games and into nicer stuff for a change...
I approve of all the foxes
This really reminds me of Ico.
One word Jon, I know your not listening but I will say it anyway.... ABZU.
Jon has already played abzu
Are you ever going to continue the witcher games man witcher 3 is a game to die for such a fucking amazing game continue the series man please
You should remake the kill everything runs for Fallout NV or Fallout 3
A little boy who has to explore an island and solve puzzles while shouting?
Are you sure your not playing Wind Waker?
Not played BoTW in too long... all this does is make me want to play it again ^^;
Still haven't finished it....
I’m both fond and not fond of this game, because it’s a bait and switch. If I had known that it was a game about [SPOILER REDACTED] from the start, I would have been fine with it.

running around ,shouting at things .... wait....
Nintendo's gonna sue somebody
When I was about 13 I was on a sand bar and a dead jellyfish floated up and got a couple tentacles(?) wrapped around my hand. Hurt like a son of a bitch.
Can you play firewatch? Sometime in the future
he already has.
He deed

Jon please play Frostpunk!!
Again?
He does have some vids on that game.
He did, a playthrough and a live stream
Must be too much Warframe, but I can't look at this gilded white fancy architecture without thinking that the people who lived in or used this place before it was ruined must have been dicks. xD
It's not pronounced that way. It's pronounced KONK.
You should named this without rime or reason. no I am not sorry
I dont like this game. It murdered my friends.
could you do a gta vice city video.
WHERE IS DUST?
So it's just Zelda, but the puzzle parts and without any fighting........ Pass.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSTT
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and lots of games have this exact same art style so some people obviously like it but I'm not a fan. Bland and boring with no detail or life.
I hate this graphical style. It was worse in Firewatch. At least it is smooth thanks to denuvo being taken out.
As a person who loves low poly art and develops games using said style, I would like to know why you don't like low poly? It would be very interesting.
What's the deal about Denuvo? I absolutely don't get it. I remember REALLY nasty and anno yingcopy-protection systems Think AC2. They were an absolute pain in the ass. Denuovo is unnoticable so it's FINE.
That is one of these typical madeup bullshit shitstorms with no shit and hardly any wind.
And Firewatch was great. Including the end. And smooth. Whatever that means. It didn't have exactly a challenging graphics engine.
