Batman: Everybody Lies - How To Play

[@teejleague3838]

Great tutorial, and that's no lie! ...Or am I lying?? How would you know?? If I say I'm not lying, and everybody lies, does that mean I'm lying???? So should I say the video's bad?!? Or does everybody lie, but not all the time, and....Hey Rodney, here's a little support to prove I'm not lying when I say this is a great video. XD

[@WatchItPlayed]

Ha! I laughed at this, and that's no lie :)

Rodney is the finest board game flipper/catcher on the internet. Fact.

6:50 "Now go to the lead deck of this case and fan the cards just as much as necessary to find that number in the top left hand corner..." Me, a left-handed person: "Well this is not going to be fun..."

As a bonus, you gain 1 investigate token!

Thanks for the vidya! I'm excited for my copy to arrive!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hopefully soon!

[@TheFlood2009]

This game looks like a lot of fun! My child also loves this game. We’ll be adding it to our wishlist for sure. Thanks for another game for us to play together. ❤🤩

[@Dizzula]

World's greatest detective my foot! :)

[@frankdetank9126]

Rodney! Just stopping in to say "you rock." Please carry on.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I will hope for bacon on your next visit!

[@frankdetank9126]

@@WatchItPlayed as long as you don't come to expect it on each of my visits, I can spare a couple strips now. Inflation has my bacon in a vice.

[@larryturnbull4781]

Great job Rodney!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you!

[@pedroalbertogomes3809]

Looks very good. I loved play Detective a modern crime.. I will miss search for clues on internet like in detective, but I m looking forward to try this one! Thanks for the vídeo!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome Pedro, thanks for checking out the video!

[@soogymoogi]

I really like the Detective system and this seems like a great IP for it and a wonderful twist on the mechanics! If I can find some friends who are interested in Batman I may pick it up :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking out the video - and have a good time playing if you get a chance!

[@cindykee3719]

Is this a re-theme of an existing Detective system? Or is this unique?

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@cindykee3719 That's hard to answer, it borrows some things from the previous Detective games, but also has new and changed things. The video should help clear that up though.

[@plastickhero]

Seems kind of Unlock!-y. Going on the list!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@teejleague3838]

Ooh cool! Gotta watch with Ben tonight!

[@teejleague3838]

Oh I LOVE mysteries!!!! Got hooked on Murder She Wrote and have been in love ever since! I had heard about this game, but had no idea what it was. This will be great!!! :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope you both enjoy - sounds like you like mystery stores, so this might be up your alley!

[@teejleague3838]

Trying this tonight!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hope you enjoy!

[@teejleague3838]

@@WatchItPlayed We got the prologue case solved. :) Also, I think it's great that you don't have to know anything about Batman to be able to play. I know almost nothing. Ben knows a lot, but it's great that you don't have to.

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@teejleague3838 Agreed. It's nice when a game gives fans of the storyline something to get excited about, but doesn't make it feel like people who don't know the background are out of the loop.

[@teejleague3838]

@@WatchItPlayed Perfectly said. Ben was telling me some cool stuff, but none of it was necessary at all to understand the plot. So we both really enjoyed it. The only thing I really know about Batman is that Ben told me my Batman logo (that I made for my detective journal to use while collecting clues) should not have a smiley face. He insists the Batman logo is never smiling. But then, maybe Gotham would be a better place if it was, right? XD XD XD

[@wadewilson4077]

Hey Rodney, I notice in videos you dont use the lights on your table. I'm in the process of crafting my own... how often do you (and/or the watch it played folks) really use the lights on your tables when gaming?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I really never do, but you'll notice I also don't use the recessed area where the lights are located. Because this is a studio table, it's used it a way that's probably not typical for most gamers. That said, if I was using the recessed area, I don't imagine I would ever use the lights. I think it's an interesting feature, but not essential to my gaming experience.

[@dozensofdonuts8695]

This is like Chronicles of Crime on steroids. I love it!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@henriwhitehead]

Great video! This looks like a perfect ip for this system.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yeah, it's a good pairing, right?

[@MsGinahidesout]

this looks fun

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@ZoidbergForPresident]

Requiring an internet connection prevents these kinds of games from being played in a lot of configurations. Please provide a software allowing everything to be downloaded in advance i.e. chronicles of crime.

[@WatchItPlayed]

That's something you might just want to post directly to the publisher. Not something I have any control over.

[@robertbentley3734]

How does resetting work if you already have the solution?

[@WatchItPlayed]

If you don't get a perfect score, then resetting would let you try again, to see if you can pursue nee leads and get a better score.

[@robertbentley3734]

@@WatchItPlayed Is this therefore just to experience other angles of the scenario for fun? If I got to the end of the orange zone and then reset, then what stops me answering the correct answers as soon as I hit green zone on the second go even if I couldn't possibly answer some elements based on the knowledge I had gained solely on the second play? In addition, would you recommend that you play all parts of the campaign once and only THEN go back to reset - or maximised each case as much as possible before moving to the next? TIA

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@robertbentley3734 I've played some of the Detective scenarios (in the previous releases) multiple times, because after a few months, I don't remember the details (your memory might be better). I may have "some" recollection of small details, but often not most of it. It's hard for me to assess for someone else what their experience might be. For some, it may very well be that they play once, and then pass the game on to a friend.

[@bluejaygaming401]

15:52 yep also me Rodney

[@WatchItPlayed]

It's important to be aware :)

[@randyreynolds107]

So...Batman: Consulting Detective, then? Sounds a lot like the Sherlock Holmes series, except the personal goals can be an interesting twist.

[@soogymoogi]

If you're a fan of Consulting Detective but haven't checked out the Detective games this is based on, I recommend them. i quite like both series.
