Endurance Run

Endurance Run: Deadly Premonition: Part BR-18

It's a personal rule of mine to never hit a lady with a golf club, but these are special circumstances.

Vinny and Jeff sit down and take a crack at the latest game in the Shin Megami Tensei series. Will they make it through the entire game?

I was amazed with that last second kill. After all those deaths you really cant write this type of finish. It was too perfect.

...little annoyed that Brad even complains when he beats the part he was stuck on for the past hour.

i guess when brad says 'we might not be needing those anymore', either VJ has told him about a certain side quest or he's been reading the comments!

Unlike you! Cause that has been discussed already!
 
 In other news, all of you babies going "you realize how hard it is to play and talk at the same time" need to remember than Jeff, Ryan, Vinny, Dave and Drew manage just fine.
 
Seriously, Brad needs to stop being retarded and  underestimating the damn game. I wouldn't be surprised if 90% of the damage he has taken is from him trying to show off or just plain mashing the buttons like an idiot, thinking he can half-ass his way through the game.

" So are you saying the controls and aiming aren't horribly clunky in this game? "
No one's saying the controls are great. But if Brad decides to hit her after she's announced her intention to attack, that's not really the game's fault. "
I recall a hit with the golf club actually interrupting her attack, which means you can interrupt her attack even after she starts glowing red. I was surprised, but that is exactly what transpired there. The problem seems to be the inconsistent hitboxes on enemies, some times a melee attack inexplicably won't connect.

Are you a moron? Do you realize how hard it isto play and talk at the same time, while also tring to handling horrible controls, proper aiming techniques...and he has literally one chance to get attacked or he's pretty screwed. I have no doubt you would do much worse, if not poorly at best. Watch the As k Me Anything, Brad didn't have to talk during gameplay and he destroyed it.

@IgneusMaeror: You can interrupt her attack, but as far as I could tell it's only when she's not using the glowing attack. When that happens the only choice is to get the hell out of the way.

Mature. I'm sure we're all a little upset and how slow the going is, but that's what an Endurance Run is. I don't know why you complainers are still watching, skip and week and come back if you want, "WE'LL HAVE NEW CONTENT AND WON'T BE STUCK IN THE SAME PLACE FOR 4 HOURS". 
 
Like, really, no one is forcing you to be here, so why the hell do you feel the need to bloat the comments section with your incessant crying about how Brad = Bad? Joining the bandwagon? Nothing else to do in your life? Enlighten me.

" By the sounds of things Brad has heard about the infinite ammo for the SMG:  Ryan: "We've got 10 grand buy a bunch of bullets" Brad "Uhh that might not be necessary soon" "
Yeah, I also got the impression that Vinny or Jeff probably spilled the beans on that one. Or maybe Brad just overheard one of the VJ play sessions? "
I think Brad knowing about the existence of the infinite SMG is probably due to the shitloads of comments on the last video where people were screaming for him to get it, insulting him and questioning his career because he didn't pick up a non-essential item in a budget game they were kind enough to subject themselves to for our entertainment. Probably had something to do with that. "
aha this made me laugh. 
 
I really don't think Brad cares... he is playing a game that he doesn't even like for the sake of users here - nobody has to watch it. Besides, being ignorant about some the game mechanics just makes his playthrough more entertaining and funny... so I really don't even care. 
 
I bet tonnes of this users complaining about Brad would get yelled at too if they were subjected to criticism after having their session recorded... it's easy to see all the mistakes afterwards especially when you aren't the one playing - not the one experiencing the full mediocre quality of Deadly Premonition.
 
Out of the 80,000 odd users on this site, obviously not everyone is going to play the game in the same way nor does a reviewer have to bring on the uber pwnage of some people. He just has to play the game and have a sense of what it is and convey his opinion about it. I am sure by the end of his playthrough - the time when he would review the game - he will have figured out many of the nuances.

Brad certainly likes to live dangerously, shooting those zombies up close with the pistol instead of running away. Honestly, I would love to see a Brad playthrough of RE5 to see if he can actually perform better in a game with good aiming mechanics...but the Desperate Escape Quick Look didn't show much difference. :P 
 
I wanna see what happens when they have to fight 3 of th wall-ladies in a row. :)

@LordAndrew:  Dude, you made me want to watch the video again. You seem to be right, at 15:22 Brad lands the killing blow, while the monster is glowing red. I guess it only interrupted her because she dropped dead.

I dunno about the debate about if Brad is good or not, but all I know is that this video is rife with Brad-isms.
 
2 Zombies Matrix-ing 5 inches from you? Pistol running out of ammo in 3..2..
Brad keeps shooting. And reloads.
 
Brad kills one zombie. Runs out of ammo. Another one is starting its attack animation.
Brad reloads. Then ducks after the attack animation starts.
 
That's just how he rolls. :P
 
On an unrelated note: I used to watch VJ before BR. But after ep 15 or so, I started watching in the opposite order. While it doesn't make sense since BR is ahead, so chronologically I should do VJ, BR. I guess since BR is having a tougher time I put it in earlier, for a relaxing VJ ep afterwards.

There are no previous saves in DP.  One save file and one save file only.  It's a recipe for disaster.

As a gamer who can enjoy games without being particularly good at them, I'm saddened by the amount of trash talk going on in the comments for these videos. The ER is supposed to be fun, guys...! Guys? :(
 
Still, good work considering the health/ammo situation. Keep on trucking, team BR; nothing stops the Endurance Run!

I'm unsure if that was epic or anticlimactic....
 
Also, you didn't hear everyone spamming Ryan saying he was awful at games when he was stuck in Dante's Inferno for ages. If people here have been playing games that weren't just GTA or the like where you automatically respawn and don't have any consequence from death then they'd know that you'll occasionally hit spots that you find difficult and get stuck at that others may not. Stop complaining and feel good for them when they overcome it.

Ugh, I wish they would freaking read comments..
 
When you goto load game goto replay chapter instead!! Replay episode one first chapter of it..  Goto the milk barn talk to Keith.. buy the paranormal map goto the marker and complete the challenge it only takes 5-10 minutes. And you'll get the infinite ammo 10mm. After you do this just goto the Muse and complete the mission for the day and save. If you load up your resume save you'll have the infinite 10mm.
 
 
Or if you wanna spend about 45 minutes..  find all the bones on the map(7) and take them to the graveyard, you'll get a infinite flamethrower which ruins the ceiling  bitches day

VJ happened to stumble their way into awesome guns and fast cars, whereas BR through chance just happened to miss them. I personally think it's pretty fascinating that they seem to be hitting all the same central notes, but with minor things like VJ noticing the Scrapyard on the map completely changing the game for them.

They do.
 
And as for the other part: they won't get a flamethrower from doing wilie's quest, they get even something better: The infinite magnum, it was my go-to gun in the game.

I think it's more of a Yukiko's Shadow moment. The tension wasn't as big, but Ryan had the same fears we had a year back when they were turning a screw in the slot machine for a whole fucking day.
