Endurance Run: Deadly Premonition: Part BR-03

The difference between reality and Japan's version of reality comes into stark relief.

 you know, at first I though this was a horrible game, but now, seeing the driving and everything, I'd say that for 20 bucks this is a nice game, it has it's charm, unfortunately I don't have a 360, but if I did I would most definitely consider getting this.

" I think Team BR are starting to hit their stride. Before they were just rushing through the game, but now we're starting to see some real differentiation that justifies there being two Endurance Runs. I would really like to see some ERs of Heavy Rain or Mass Effect in this split team format. I suppose it wouldn't be so much of a test of endurance, since those games are already played and generally well liked among the GB staff, but I just wanna see the different choices they make (and the riffs). "
oh yeah, a dual ER of heavy rain would be great, don't think they will do that in a near future though, since the game is still relatively new, but I can totally see them doing this eventually, maybe 1 year from now.

The Difficulty ones don't stack, so you have to play this 20-hour game 3 times. "

Probably Drew, since he's always capturing the footage, keeping track of the time.

I laughed out loud at this comment. i wasn't really feeling this version of the endurance run, but this episode made me a fan.

Watching brad do things he absolutely does *not* want to do is kind of amusing, even if it's just schadenfreude.

You know Ryan, if you weren't so impatient, Brad would've found the correct key earlier and you guys wouldn't have had to backtrack.

Still pretty much hate it, though it's still amusing to watch other people hating it.  Though I notice that somebody edited the Deadly Premonition blurb to make it sound more positive.   
 
I seriously can't imagine playing through this entire game though, I really hope they pick another good game for their next ER.  Maybe another RPG.

It's not more positive, but it is more neutral. Nothing wrong with that.

I'm really glad to see that Brad has eased off on the complaining. I think this ER is finally starting to come into its own.

York saying he wants to drive as he doesn't know his way around town, then Brad not being able to drive out the carpark they started in was amazing. Aside from Ryan rushing things a bit, this is a great watch. Ryan's commentary with Brad's playstyle is comedy gold.

Holy shit, this ER experiment got so much more interesting with this episode. Some comedy gold out there from Ryan (prayers) and Brad ("look at my expert handling of this dude").

I retract my previous statements - Brad and Ryan are totally legit in an Endurance Run.

I'm not reading all the comments to see if Ryan's "why yards I wonder" question was answered before so sorry if this is repeating.  It's yards for the same reason the slide-out-file-cabinet-thingy has the dates listed from top to bottom right-to-left instead of left-to-right. That is, in the game's country of origin they read right-to-left and measure in meters (fairly close to yards, so the translators ran with it).

You just want to yell out, "The key is in the damn prison that you passed because you were in such an all-fired fucking hurry to turn in the keys!!!! Go back! Go back, dammit!"
 
But oh well..haha..funny to watch.

I keep on wanting to watch you guys' ER, but you are just looking for ways to shit on the game. "That's not the way normal people say it" "We have to watch him slowly open this door first."

I dont think I would have ever played this game, but it is just perfect for this sort of video feature! Just like Persona 4, its a unique game with odd stuff going on and crazy dialogue, making it ripe for the GB crew to comment on. looking forward to following both teams to the end.

I love how the jail cell doors open both ways, watch as you see him pull it open to get in then pull it open to get out. Cheers to revolving cell doors!
