Quick Look: The Journey Down: Chapter One

Yesss set complete. Thank god.

Never heard of this game til it popped up on steam. Let's check it out.

I want orange jumpsuits to come back in a big way.

The Vinster \o/

dope

Oh man, Vinny talking about TaleSpin hit my nostalgia bone hard. Hadn't thought about that show in ages.

Awesome!

Vinny <3

The main character seems to occasionally slip into an Irish accent...

And Monkey Island 4 was goofy with a messed up control scheme but I really liked the voice work for it, even if they changed Elaine into an American pirate for some reason.

I got this game from the Indie Royale summer bundle, never played it. But they gave me a Steam key now that its on Steam!

This quick look has too many colons! RADA RADA RADA!

And not a minute in, Vinny broke the game. Awesome already.

I had to look up the developer of this game when i heard "land crab", and sure enough they are swedish :)

Hey Hey Hey!... Spin it Let's begin it bear and grin it when you're in it you can win it in a minute when you spin spin spin it, Tale Spin!

Evidently I'm not the only one that had a crush on Rebecca Cunningham judging from the google image searches...

The Curse of Monkey Island vibes are strong with this one.

I think we (the US) are the only ones to put the period inside the quotation marks.

It's George Takei, Patrick.

30 seconds in and Vinny's breaking the game.

I'm not american and it makes no sense to me to put the period "inside the quotation marks". That would be like doing this: (something [stuff)]

See? The period says that phrase is over, so you need to close the quotation before that, while inside the phrase. That's where you opened it in the first place!

I like the positives vibes this game has going, I'll check it out. The main character reminds me of Hermes from Futurama.

The voice acting in this is so awesome in a funny sort of way. Might have to buy it!

I want this to be Grim Fandango but it probably isn't.

That guy sounded like George Takei doing James Earl Jones. Or vice versa.

It's a silly American thing, they always put their periods and commas inside quotes, regardless of whether it should logically be there or not. In British English, they only go inside the quotes if it's part of the original quotation.

Wow hitler is in the game as well

This game is a disgrace to the Devil May Cry series

The awesomely complex and intricate combat systems from the other DMC games (barring 2) was thrown out of the window in favor of a casualized and totally simplistic brain dead turd. Not only that but it's obvious that Dante is essentially Tameem masturbating via video games

I wish someone with an actual interest in the DMC series could have reviewed this and given it a score that reflects the obvious steps back in quality that this series has suffered

This DMC hate is really going too far if it ends up under an Adventure quick look.

@dropkickpikachu: Just wanted to say: I enjoy your name.

Looks promising, the art style is something else. It looks like he's wearing a wooden skull and has no eyes.

I like when Vinny breaks shit. Maybe the Cheat Engine would help?

btw, I don't think the Dock Master is smoking tobacco in that pipe... I think he's getting hunk'd

The voices made me chuckle right off the bat, I suppose that's a good sign?

Holy mackinaw, that voice acting.

Japanese Hitler!

This looks really charming. Might buy when all the episodes are out.

@Aretak: Two thumbs up for blasts from the past!

@altairre: Looking at that profile it's obviously a fake account of just in that category of 'i love this game 10000% & hate anyone that disagrees slightly with me'. Should just ignore it or hopefully delete these fools from the internet.

Oh god, I fucking hate adventure game logic. This game is pretty cute, though.

I never thought I'd see the day where I wouldn't finish watching a Vinny Quick Look but this is just a very boring adventure game.

Remember:

Japanese Hitler is watching you...

See...you put Patrick with Vinny and he's just fine...

Launchpad McQuack = Cloudkicker? I love Vinny.

The voice acting reminds me of the narrator in the first Gabriel Knight - "Gabriel cannot do dat!" "Dat doesn't seem to work dat way!"

I CANNOT DO DAT MON!

I want orange jumpsuits to come back in a big way.

Jyah Mahn!

I would be disappointed if Vinny didn't break the game in the first 30 seconds.

Javik's accent isn't Jamaican...

Use fishing pole on water?

dude people here can't even tell the difference between NZ and aus accents, cut him some slack

Man this game looks like Grim Fandango and Monkey Island mashed together and that's why I just bought it .Also the sea captain is so the Captain Velasco from Grim.

They missed the water clicking spot on the dock for so long. That's what I always find so frustrating about adventure games. You just miss one little obvious thing for so long that screws you over and feel really dumb when you find it.

8:49 Vinny: "Oh? Saaailoooorrsss~"

o shit they actually quick looked this.

this always seemed neat, love the music in this game

So glad the art turned me off up front, I could have never made it through the game listening to that voice work.
