A MIND-BENDING Game That Plays You | Asmongold Plays Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe

Dude I CANNOT believe the devs actually interacted with Asmon live like that. That 's the most fucking meta thing I've ever seen. Truly masters of their craft. I actually cry laughed it was so good. This is one of the most entertaining videos I've ever watched.

Asmons perpetual shock at the meta content updating live was a moment that will go down as one of the greatest moves in game dev history.

You gotta appreciate how asmond plays games he hears the door close behind him slowing looks back with his character. Seen the mincontol factory sign and the escape tagged on a wall looks back and fourth like making a decision. Get into a spooky situation where you can hear his footsteps like he's walking in metal walkway so he walks just slow enough to hear his steps and build suspense. I've noticed this on multiple games and I say bravo sir a true entertainer when it comes to playing games.

There were a few more such funny moments. First it was funny that the first two endings killed Stanley, so he thought that the Narrator's going to kill him every time. Then he was in complete disobeying mode and leapt off the platform while saying "I do what I want! You can't tell me what to do!", with the Narrator completely roasting him afterwards with "But in his eagerness to prove that he is in complete control and no one gets to tell him what to do Stanley leapt from the platform and plunged to his death. Good Job Stanley, everyone thinks you're very powerful!" ROASTED! PERFECT timing! You couldn't script that! 😂 And with the skip button, he asked "should I skip now?" and exactly after that the Narrator said: "Yes yes" :D

[@yogoo0]

3:40:00 What the game does very well is knowing exactly what kind of game it is and what it needs to be. It's very hard to create a meta game because it requires a massive amount of self awareness and of all the possible choices that can be made. Very few games are able to be fully meta in the same way as the parable. The Stanley Parable is the most meta of meta games. The more you play it the you, and the game, realizes how meta the game really is.

[@billfred9411]

@Not Enough Stories. If anything that shows just how clever it is. Half-life was an FPS with guns explosions and took place during an alien invasion. Does any of that seem similar to the Stanley Parable? The only thing they share is a game engine and assets but the games themselves are totally different.

[@TheCactuar124]

@Not Enough Stories. Basically? That's literally what it started as.

[@IroAppe]

@Not Enough Stories. So many games are basically Half Life mods. A few days ago I heard a dev saying "You could say that basically every Source game is a Half Life mod." Since the whole Source engine came out of that game. But fun fact, that even I didn't know: Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe was completely redeveloped in the Unity engine. The developer said that they had to completely dial back the nice lighting of the Unity engine to get that Source look. They even applied a filter onto the Narrator's voice to let it sound like a bit worse sound quality, so that the new lines sound the same way that the old 2013 lines sound. So basically they did a lot of work to not make it seem like it is a new engine and a 2022 game. A lot of engineering to get that look and feel of that 2013 game back. Crazy :D Another fun fact, the devs of Firewatch and Rocket League did not only give legal permission, they literally provided everything they had: The models and level file and sounds, so the Stanley Parable devs could port them in. Props to the Firewatch and Rocket League devs for that!

From the ashes of depravity rises the phoenix of quality. How else to describe the Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe? Such a revolutionary step forward in the lineage of one of the most beloved video game properties of all time! The additions and changes made to this expansion will surely resonate in the annals of the history of all media ever made. It is perhaps true to say that no mistakes are forever etched in stone. For the stone into which The Stanley Parable was carved has itself been transmuted offering a message of hope to those who have erred in their judgement. You are not beyond redemption. You may change, and you may become more so much more than you were before. If there is any message to be taken from The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe it is this... What a fortune, a privilege, a joy it is to have had such an experience it leaves me hopeful that a community - as a world there is time for us to become our greatest selves as great as we ever could dream of in our wildest, most ambitious visions for a brighter future.

@@JesseAllenJr if you played the game you may actually find out where this comes from and those that know will get a kick out of it.

[@stuartsmith1139]

@@xtremefurrycat good God that was so sad

[@Andronicus87]

Im going to have start calling YOU the narrator after that block!

[@PierreChe]

Absolutely epic Stream/video. And Asmon did an amazing job reacting in an entertaining/ fun way to what the game brought. I feel like sharing this to my non-gamers friends to really break the idea they have of what a game can be :p. Need a part 2 !

[@thumbsup8985]

17:40 I'm not there because I'm here!😮

[@williamhestilow4021]

I love the Douglas Adams vibes of the Stanley parable. The deluxe version should be called Hitchihikers Guide to the Bucket.

[@John_Doe4269]

I discovered Asmon about 5-6 years ago, never been into MMOs but I've always enjoyed his ability to look at situations critically - especially concerning the games industry. This was the first time I saw him legit play a game, and what a ride this was! You can tell it's not the sort of stuff he's usually into, but he still gets 100% into what the game is all about. Hopefully he'll do more single-player games in the future.

[@Nightmare1324]

Its really great to see Asmon having the time of his life, Going from a streare focused on a Single game to branching out and discovering new things and experiences with his stream. I am so proud of him!

[@Silvertarian]

Please wait while I stand in empty rooms and attempt to open 32,782 doors that are locked.

[@shaqalito8740]

Asmon knew by looking at the cctv, exactly where he was. Because he knew exactly where he wasn't.

[@KefkeWren]

The broom closet ending was my favourite.

[@chronosoul1837]

Oh man. I can't wait to see Asmon's reaction to more endings to this game, with & without the bucket.

[@JacobHayden911]

I fucking love how the devs were watching at one point and fucked with you a bit on the Stanley Parable 2 page!! That was fucking awesome because requires them actually watching, not every player would see that. I knew this was the case after I scanned the code myself, originally thinking it was a real thing that knew who you were, but nope! Asmon came up for me too while this was happening, which told me they were just fucking with him!

[@kellynolen498]

lol they should have threatened him for a good review

[@IroAppe]

@@kellynolen498 I think they got enough advertising out of this. Through the fact that he was playing this game alone, he is a famous Twitch streamer with many viewers, there are now 1 million views on this KZbin video, and in the end he summed it up with basically a 10/10 impression, I think that works wonders for the marketing of the game :D

[@c0mand3r]

This game is amazing. I watch you're videos all the time, but I rarely watch long clips like this one; but damn this game had me hooked.

[@DGregster]

I don't think you realize how many secret endings there are. You can wall glitch through the map and yet the narrator still calls you out on it xD

[@ilikepotatoes1345]

I fuckin' love variety Asmongold, this shit is gold

[@BIGSWOLEXL]

Same glad he decided to really just be a variety streamer now rather then stick to one game for 8 hours straight

[@soggybiscuit4208]

You have no idea how much I've wanted to see Asmon play this game, I literally shid my pant when I see the notification

[@kevinmeszaros3118]

Start of the story: He became the last programmer working on TF2 Updates in 2022 at Valve

[@Freestyle_ZVC]

The fact I watched the whole KZbin vid shows how entertaining this game is

[@joeycrawford3096]

Omg 😂 the part where the sgoryteller is roasting you about the broom closet priceless

[@tastymedicine3073]

Just finished it. Such a quality stream. The narrator rambling mixed with asmon's commentary, response and decisions resulted into hours of laughs and gags. I hope asmon finds all the endings and the collectibles

[@Tretzi21]

Zack trying and completely going into Games wished from the Community are always these straight up best Streams ever in my Mind. Fucking loving every Minute of this ❤

[@Zyphotis]

This was so good. The game is so remarkable and really thinks outside the box. the commentary was just the icing on the cake. Top stuff Zack! So glad you played this.

16:33 It's not everyday you walk into Charles Xavier's mind reading room.

[@Turddles44]

lol this is still my favorite video to put on when i go sleep, ive seen this like 100 times now

[@belongaskip]

Same lol

[@a.o.skurtt]

I put this on to watch something I didn't have to pay so much attention to (because it's 3 hours so I assumed a lot of it would be boring tbh, nothing against him just how it ends up when things are 3 hours long) but asmon actually made this super entertaining. I can't see anyone else doing as good of a job as he does. 💜

[@pierreo33]

small brain

[@freelifematters6193]

watching you play games like this is sooooo entertaining. looking around while figuring out if youll go through the escape or to the mind control facility had me rolling

[@Magerquark]

This game is incredible and it was a lot of fun watching this I can't believe how much stuff can happen by some simple decisions and changing them up

[@Stephen_Math_and_Science]

I played this game soon after the initial release. This version has so much new content. I was always a fan of the broom closet. 'The broom closet ending was my favorite.'

[@Stephen_Math_and_Science]

I also love the one where you break the game and the narrator's sad.

[@BanXxX69]
