Quick Look: EX: Shadow Complex

Im here because Brad sent me here.

~E3 SECRETS~

It's the first thing I thought of. In fact, I can't promise I didn't make that comment at the time (but that involves going back through the comments to fact check this, and ain't nobody got time for that).

EDIT: Okay, I did check and I didn't. But I totally thought it when I played the game!

#ShadowGate

I remember watching this when it went up and again sometime in the few days between ordering a replacement 360 and it arriving because I was planning to play this first. Something always felt off about it to me and I'm happy to finally know what it was.

This was all a lie!!

My whole life is a lie.

Don't blink.. soon it will be 12 years. The E3 and GOTY weeks have been like milestones that seem to pass more swiftly. They started Giantbomb when I was 18. Man I don't even know where the last 4 years went. Finally found my passion and am now studying game design. I think spending so much time here influenced me. I don't really spend much time gaming.

I hope every one on the site has a good next half decade.

wow 4:45 that must have taken so many tries to redo

@mithhunter55: I'm so coming back here in another 6 years and responding again to this post. I can't wait!

And if you thought the time between 18 and now was quick for you, wait till the next 6 when you're thirty. You're going to feel physically sick at how fast it was. This message is going to feel like yesterday

LIES

It's still real to me, dammit.

LIARS AND THIEVES!

GB definitely needs a "VH1 Behind the Music" style series to tell these kinds of behind the scenes stories about how their content is developed.

By the way, I never played this game but after watching this I'm hoping it becomes available on Xbox One back-compat.

WELL DONE BRAD. BRAVO

The only shadowy thing in this video is Brad's LIES.

Brad's got dedication. Man, that was weird to rewatch. Good thing it wasn't a game with a lot of randomness or dicerolls.

This game blew me away back then... now it seems so simple... also LIES!

Even knowing about the edit, I cannot see any obvious indication of shenanigans. Great editing and play through!

Avengers 6 and Starwars Ep. X are going to be so good!

One of us might remember to reply in a decade.

If chemtrails were just water vapor, like they want you to think, this QL would have played out differently.

Brad is a crazy person.

A good kinda crazy person, but man. That took dedication.

So they lost half the QLEX recording, so Brad played through the entire thing again room by room so he could play at a level that would be appropriate to the developer? Is that what I'm hearing?

Ya dun fooled me Brad.

Just hiding in plain sight, all this time...

Amazing. It looks totally normal until you know that the person playing is trying to follow a script. Damn fine work though Brad and Drew; you guys are wizards. I will be demanding a refund for my membership and game however.

COLLUSION!

That dedication. @_@

Wow bravo Brad and Drew.

Great job Brad

I'm glad someone said it. B)

This is the origin of breaking brad

Brad, you're an amazing and beautiful person.

I can't watch the video, nothing streams after clicking on the Play button, just a black screen, maybe the servers do not stream the videos to India :(. Same problem experienced on GameSpot for the older videos. Wish they had the download video option from 2 years back.

@cooljammer00: The video dropped so many frames as to be useless, so Brad did everything in the video shot by shot and stitched it all together.

This QL is before my time on here, but I'm giving it a watch after learning of its painstaking recreation. Sounds Hellish. Way to go, Brad!

The truth revealed! I never got to play this game, too bad it never came out on PC.

@viru_ssj For older videos I recommend progressive loading.

DECEPTION!

Seriously, well done Brad and Drew, would have never known watching this 6 years ago.

Obligatory new comment since Brad has made another mention of this masterpiece in the new Remastered QL EX.

I know the joke was always that Brad is bad at games but you know what I think here we have the proof that he's the best there ever was.
