Zero Punctuation: Murdered: Soul Suspect

[Hdawger]

I would like to throw in that I also love the Dresden Files. I love it when something I really like mentions another thing that I really like. ;D

 

[Pescetarian]

Having read his books, both of which are in the same general wheelhouse as Jim Butcher (heavy speculative fiction drama garnished with witty banter and lot of references), it's not surprising to see Yahtzee reads the Dresden Files.

That said, I am still geeking the hell out about it.

 

[Gone Rampant]

Nice Dresden File reference.

Just came on to say that the game was part of the Summer Sale a day or so ago- odd timing.

Isn't it usually around this time of year Microsoft or Sony release some indie games and Yahtzee looks at them? Because you'd think Microsoft would be hyping it better.

Yahtzee slagging on the new consoles is getting to be as tedious as when Moviebob would crowbar an attack on The Amazing Spider-Man into every video regardless of how ill-fitting it was. Especially since the 7th console generation was among the darkest times in the history of video games and we should all be celebrating the fact that it's finally over.

I'm just quoting this because I'm happy to see another ASM fan on the Escapist and I agree that Bob needs to shut the ever-living hell up about ASM when there's far more deserving targets. *High five*

 

[Darth_Payn]

Yahtzee, you charismatic stallion! You got one lucky lady in your life! Who hopefully didn't vomit on you.
And the clown! Made me laugh my ass off, if only to stop screaming. I actually heard a squeaky-toy sound when it banged its billy club on the desk.

I'm surprised he didn't drew any lines with Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective for the DS. Unless I missed something. Great episode nonentheless.

He definitely mentioned it in the beginning of the video, to compare it to Murdered: Soul Suspect as "Game with Dead Protagonist investigating their own death and a silly title".

Jon Pertwee, as doctor who, once used the phrase "Whale of a time" not as a pun. He was doing it to annoy an evil computer, though.

Exactly, you had to go back over 40 years to think of one.

Now that's a feature not seen often enough in games: talking to a computer in a manner that makes it shut down or blow up. I've only seen it once in Fallout 3.

 

[JayDeth]

I get so excited when things I like are mentioned by people I also like WOO Dresden Files! And I'm actually being sincere. ^.^

 

[Jandau]

Also joining the chorus of Dresden Files adoration, though I did already know Yahtzee liked the series. But still, nice to see it referenced.

 

[JimB]

That vest n hat joke got a genuine gut-laugh out of me. Well done, Mr. Croshaw.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I didn't recall him ever getting married but I don't stalk him well enough to be able confirm it one way or another.

I'm sorry, and correct me if I'm wrong, but all I'm getting out of this is one question: is Yahtzee married?

he's either married too Silent Hill 2 or Saint's Row 2... not sure about an actual women though, it's doesn't say he's married on his wiki page

If you listen to his Let's Play and Let's Drown Out videos (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-Q4WBqNtMF_2GbIsGjic4A) you may have heard he's not married and is actually trying his luck in online dating, which is interesting... I would have thought he may have a quite decent chance with women, or men, whatever his preference may be.

Also, quite surprised nobody has commented on the pun Soul/Sole suspect.
But that probably isn't that interesting.

 

[Hutzpah Chicken]

This game probably would have benefited from subtle jokes like finding the ghost of Inspector Morse or running into Poirot in a secret area. That's probably too clever for the evil clown office.

 

[Strain42]

Why is it so hard for companies to make good murder mystery games? It's a great genre with lots of possibility, but in my life I've only played maybe 20 good murder mystery titles...and 7 of them were Ace Attorney games.

 

[shiajun]

Airtight games is rather shaky as a developer. Quantum Conundrum had some good ideas, but clunky implementation. It seems it's the same this time around. There seems to be something off about their play testing interpretation, if there is any going on at all.

 

[SweetShark]

Did he implied Ghost Trick is a pile of Sh*ts?
I am VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY Disappointed if he truly believe that....

 

[BlueJoneleth]

No he just said the title was bad.

 

[5mj7R7yf4Dwr3gdZyyu9PeGNwYjlNrjzuh3iTXQG]

There's one or more guys with good ideas having to share an office with a giant monster clown they don't know how to say "no" to.

Isn't that the standard model for every AAA dev team?

And congrats Mr. Croshaw on your engagement, I think.

UPDATE: According to Yahtzee's Wikipedia entry under personal life: "Currently, he does not often contact his brother, while his parents disapprove of his game-critic career, as they wanted him to enroll into higher education."

Dude, you need to announce your engagement more officially.

 

[Therumancer]

Wow, Yahtzee is a Dresden fan apparently (otherwise I can't see how he'd be familiar enough with the series to make that comment). One of my personal favorite series as well.

That said I figured this game was at best discount bin fodder when I first saw it. It seemed to me that it was something designed by committee when they noticed the success of paranormal/teen romances being turned into TV shows and so on, and decided to go with a plot that is both safe and fits in with that general vibe.

I actually heard the "combat" called a really bad "stealth assassination" game, like they were going for spiritual "Assassin's Creed" but had no idea what they were trying to do. Of course then again when it comes to Assassin's Creed I tend to be lousy at it, and inevitably it turns into "ooops, well, stealth failed again, and I actually have no idea why" followed by me killing everyone and then hiding on an isolated rooftop for five minutes. In playing "Black Flag" in particular I have absolutely no idea what I do to set off the guards half the time. "We must murder you in the streets for the horrible crime of walking in front of us".... the point here being that maybe if they had actually added "combat" mechanics as opposed to "sneak and poke" mechanics into "Soul Suspect" it would have been better, given that even the guys who are masters at it seem to have their problems with implementation (or at least communicating what went wrong).

I quite liked playing this game. Sure, the stealth sections had very little variation but fleeing from the enemies was satisfyingly hectic. I would have liked for the enemies to be individuals who had some kind of connection to the place they existed in, their own story that could contain clues on how to banish them...

The story was interesting, refreshing to experience a strong story in a game. But the best thing for me was the atmosphere, it was quite unsettling, which I enjoyed a lot.

This game has earned a place in my collection.

Everyone seems to forget Shadow of Memories on the PS2. A weird but strangely compelling entry in the solve your own murder genre. Though I guess technically you're not a ghost in that game as you keep dying and beng resurrected until you stop fucking up.

Rolled my eyes super hard at the backward compatibility thing again, but then I immediately forgave everything with that final joke.

'swhy I can't dislike this man, because no matter how much I seem to disagree with him lately, he does his job in such a stupidly hilarious way that holding it against him just seems petty.

As for the review itself, I honestly wasn't expecting it to be the type of game he described... not sure what I was expecting in hindsight, but all the same, while I was pretty interested in this title, I'm not sure I really am anymore. Maybe I should watch a bit of a playthrough of it.

I didn?t even know this game existed til I saw this video, despite its flaws I might one day give it a shot, if only because I generally like murder mystery games.

Wait, I'm confused. Do you mean Murdered: SS, or Ghost Trick? Because I highly recommend Ghost Trick.
