Dr. Motorcycle’s Double Life [Slitterhead - Part 2]

[@noot1375]

John's voice for Night Owl is sounding more and more like a depressed Hank Hill.

[@seancrosby6837]

To me he sounds like the big brains from Futurama lol

[@mangoruffy]

I gotta say, John's voice acting is always a good time haha. I love the dopey voice for Night Owl and the edgelord Motorcycle guy voice

[@psyphersky]

I second the admiration for Night Owl's voice, it's the icing on the cake :D edit: I just got to the part where they're both interacting and I'm wheezing-🤣

[@wumologia]

Edgy Motorcycle Dude sounds like Bakugo from My Hero Academia, it's great :V

[@Marsson90]

I like your playthrough of it and would gladly watch a complete playthrough 😊

[@renezrael]

this is the kind of game i would have absolutely loved in like 2009, something about it just reminds me so much of games like infamous or prototype

[@kaineandrews3790]

I’ve been telling my friends the game is essentially the lovechild of Prototype and Forbidden Siren.

[@princessfairytroll]

It annoys me so much how each line of dialogue is accompanied by a sigh or grunt from the speaker 😂💀 Especially since John reads fairly quickly, so you're hearing all these grunts from Julee back to back to back 😂

[@ItsJustTeddington]

Kinda forgot that this game wasn't voiced when he starts doing the edgy brooding guy voice for Doctor Motorcycle, then the Spirit's goofy sleepy voice kicks in.

[@wumologia]

John's work as a VA is reaching new heights.

[@reneemitchell4281]

John makes Night Owl sound like Patrick Star 😂

[@aliceimagine6111]

Oh, more of Slitterhead, yay! John's voice acting is making this game very entertaining to watch and I can't take game seriously at all, but should I even😂

[@anyeam.2661]

idk if this is for anybody else but the slitterheads before they turn full grown gives the anime parasyte a lil. Especially with it having blades as its attack move.

[@Argacyan]

I was thinking the same

[@finnality]

I can't stop thinking about Prototype

[@hellcolik7056]

Yes totally, I was trying to figure out where I had seen such monsters, and then I saw your comment! Their animation and their design share some things. Maybe someone will post an essay detailing the influence of the game design 😊

[@_NightFury_]

1:45:50 John, I agree with your impressions of the game. I have not played slitterhead or had plans to. But my interest is peaked by your playthrough & voice acting. ❤ give it one more go.. the shareholders will gladly watch !! Maybe the horror aspect/story gains depth once you have the core group of rarities. Thanks for the video :)

[@Shewhospeakesinverse]

Im enjoying watching the lp of this so far. The story and game mechanics seem interesting from my viewer pov

[@Shewhospeakesinverse]

the lack of interactivity makes this feel retro in a way that appeals to me. Also the subject matter and setting design too I guess. like getting exposition thru like papers, characters talking etc feels tedious to me as I grow older. I'd much rather come to my own conclusions from paying attn to things that aren't as overt.

[@Shewhospeakesinverse]

Love you calling Julee X23. she totally is.

[@inferuseques2583]

I'd watch more of this if you wanted to keep playing it. If you don't though that's fine. I might actually buy it for myself. The combat looks fun to try for myself and I'm interested in seeing what kind of story they are trying to tell. I'd have to do my own voice acting though which would be a real bummer. lol

[@WhatRobodoom]

hey! as someone with ADHD, if stimulants like caffeine don't seem to do much, or even relax you, you might wanna look into ADHD yourself. that's like one of the most obvious neurological differences people with ADHD have! it's also important to note that the "hyperactivity" part of ADHD doesn't necessarily mean physical- oftentimes, it's the brain itself that's hyperactive instead. seriously as someone who spent my entire life going, "idk why people even drink coffee, it doesn't do anything for me, but without it i can't focus on any tasks whatsoever so i just sit around spinning in circles" it's worth at LEAST checking out

[@MrAgentemac]

Good call, as someone with ADHD too, yeah, caffeine gives me some good naps (even tho I don’t wanna)

[@littlekitsune1]

The awkward stealth of Siren with the locked doors of Silent Hill.

[@projectsilenceband]

I would love to see the whole thing. I actually might buy it just because of this playthrough, it looks pretty fun and quirky. I wasn't really feeling it from the trailers, it felt like it was not going to be a horror game at all, and it still isn't, but from these videos, it looks like a kind of fun and weird action game, at least.

[@Emily-xk2du]

The over-the-top way these characters talk, like with all the dramatic trailing off and especially Night Owl being so overly formal (like with his "maelstrom" comment that had John snorting), is honestly so so funny and good. Even better is John reacting to it and doing the voices for them, the Batman (or Dean Winchester ig, considering all the monster-hunting) growl he was doing for the cool (dweeby) motorcycle pretty boy doctor was great (and John's Random British Guy impression had me cackling). Also "Horsea, use Water Gun!" (those seahorse-headed Slitterheads... I don't understand why they picked such a funny looking Slitterhead for the serious moment, I guess they figured it looked "cuter"/more endearing?) and John's laugh at 1:27:50 when he realizes the kind of "cool" sequence he was about to see were great silly moments.

[@kyv2573]

Funny how the nurse is called Lisa, just like the nurse from SH1.

[@siegwardinspirit]

Really digging the music/ambience of this game. Weird game, not scary at all but I'm enjoying it.

[@neevhingrajia3822]

Right? The jazzy music and the barking woman really set the mood

[@JWildberry]

I'm really enjoying this series. Voice acting is on point, and sometimes I forget that it's John and not the game audio. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it might be because my favorite movie as a child was voice acted by just one man.

[@LeontyXP]

I like watching you play this. I think you summarized it well. An action rpg is fun on occasion for the characters and skills. Understand if you don't keep going but I'm binging it.

[@SusiLarew]

I love this Elcor voice John does for Night Owl

[@slartimus]

"Puzzlement: What is this large-scale operation?"

[@La-PetitMort]

MASS EFFECT MENTION

[@MiggetyMattR]

I picked this game up after John's first video and I had a blast from the start to the end. It's definitely not for everyone, but it feels like a cult classic PS2 or PS3 game from another dimension that got released in 2024. I expected some kind of action survival horror game but ended up with Anime Time Blood Ghost Power Rangers vs Demon Parasite Bugs with low level Dragon Ball powers Also about the Mind Hack skill, you don't need to hold it at all. Holding it only shows you exactly the radius that you'll be affecting, but releasing the button is what actually activates the skill.

[@reuillly]

Oh my goodness, I just finished watching Part 1 a moment ago and did the biggest double-take. Another part! Time to sit down and watch!!!

[@Sirene1134]

the horror is definitely muted, like focused in the cinematics (it really wants to be a movie lol). a horror flavored action game vs a horror game with action elements. it looks fun enough to play, like a mix between a beat em up and persona almost. I'd be interested in picking it up down the line when it's on sale

[@Emily-xk2du]

I was looking through the comments to see if anyone else got Persona vibes! I felt like I was losing it when early on in the video, I was like "I'm kinda getting P5 vibes, but I don't know why!" I can't put my finger on why but I had a hard time shaking the feeling.

[@zamora77786]

I really appreciate you playing this. It's weird but fun. 😁

[@dascannavore7707]

John, your Night Owl voice sounds like Richmond from the IT Crowd. I love it.

[@Janjones7735]

Every time I hear Dr Motorcycle it makes my heart smile.

[@anaisg.d.8925]

ok this is giving me crazy Prototype flashbacks, the blood powers? the weird alien enemies along with the military?? the absolute chaos?? just make it open world and it will just be prototype 2

[@mygrandma3041]

I would love to think Julee just stand there watching you guys fight with big popcorn on her hand

[@ntp4003]

I'm really enjoying this playthrough! It's horror-ish but also quite different from most of the stuff you play on the channel. Even the cringey bits are funny and charming, not annoying to watch 😂

[@kellensweets]

To add to your analogy at the end. The gloom hands in tears of the kingdom are scarier than the monsters in this game, but that doesn't make TOTK a horror game. Still enjoying the play through though. Thanks for being you John x

[@mikari3498]

i love watching you play it even though the game is very janky and bad, super entertaining! i really hope you continue 🙏

[@Memevze]

This is an interesting game- love the map navigation. Seems huge.

[@Monayla]

I understand if u dont, cuz u dont enjoy it, but if u dont mind, i would love to see a whole playthrough. its just so different from the usual, even if quirky and as u pointed out: japanese xD thank u for playing as much as u have in any case and good luck with ur sleepschedule ;) bless u and ur fam

[@serephina]

I love how the lines in cantonese have absolutely nothing to do with the subtitles lollll

[@wishywoshua]

i watched the first gameplay trailer and realized that this wasn't a horror game. Keiichiro Toyama also made gravity rush (his best series) and this it seemed pretty clear to me that this was just another neat and unique experimental action game like that and not a silent hill successor like everyone kept assuming it was gonna be.

[@queerlyitis8451]

Heya John! I’m loving this play through. It’s very entertaining from my viewing. It feels refreshing in a strange way. The wacky flavor of Japanese games mixed with horror is making for the best of both worlds for me. Not to mention your voice acting for the characters bringing them to life as a motley band. And I agree the rpg mechanics are compelling as I’m eager to see another scenario after another for your characters growing in strength. If you don’t wanna continue that’s totally fine cool. And it’s a good excuse for me to pick up the game myself. If I don’t pick it up soon just so I can try every scenario. Always happy to join you for every game John

[@mOjoTho]

I love to watch the gameplay, and the RPG elements make me wanna grab it for myself. Maybe its more fun to watch than to play though, because the combat looks a little wonky with the sticks and no target lock. Hey John if you do find a spark and end up finishing it, I'll be watching each upload.

[@MiggetyMattR]

I definitely think it's more fun to play, I picked it up after John's first video and I'm getting close to the end of the game currently.

[@mOjoTho]

@MiggetyMattR I like the fluidity and options for combat, but melee just looks rough. I'm sure I'd get around it with the various rarities; without the Julee cheese early xD

[@MiggetyMattR]

@@mOjoTho melee is definitely a bit rough but it's surprisingly satisfying, it has a very Dark Souls approach of waiting for the enemy to attack, blocking or dodging their attack, and then retaliating. While I'm playing this game it almost feels like a turn-based game happening in real time lol. Some enemies are a bit hard but you can absolutely learn the animations and when to dodge.

[@mOjoTho]

@MiggetyMattR Fair enough, I'd love to give it a try. Definitely a different approach; I'm worried that coolness factor was lost in expectations along the way. Won't stop me though

[@loreleirae7029]

thank you for pointing out the frustrating parts of Japanese media tropes XD. can't stand how characters somehow come to an understanding or conclusion without any explanation

[@funnygoat7950]

Kowloon is part of Hong Kong even today but depending on when this game is set (in the 90s, I guess?) it could also be in reference to Kowloon Walled City.

[@theroundestfrog7913]

Really enjoying the playthrough so far, the game has such cool character but yeah the x spamming seems like a problem but maybe try out training area with Alex and Anita to actually learn their skills

[@boyspicegaming]

I'm glad you made another video cause i was feeling this playthrough

[@zisaletter4602]

okay, HERE is the obtuse complexity i expected from the Siren creators XD this is such a strange and interesting game. it's so weird. but it's _interesting_ weird. it's still intriguing enough for me to want to see more. im with you on "i wanna get a little further" but i'm not sure i want to see through to the end.

[@MOTmotheroftwins4651]

I watched this like 2xs 😂😂😂 John is hilarious Fav character was the "sea horse" lmao 🤣

[@gravitrongirl]

Based off of the trailer, I wasn't sure if this was going to be a game I enjoyed! But I am LOVING this series! I'm not sure if it would be as entertaining if someone else was playing it, simply because your voice acting is so much fun. I had a wonderful time watching these two parts, so it'd be great if you continued it! 😄

[@reaperman111]

despite having played many zelda games and being used to weird grunts when characters talk i think this game really over uses them, maybe its bc its supposed to be horror...and the spirit or whatever is so stupid lol. but hey we found dr. motorcycle!!

[@tiffinihansen6054]

Same as the first video, the game isnt for me, but im currently learning to play RedDead by Cowboy Wolfes videos😂This style game isnt for me to personally play. But I love our CEOs content, and will watch more if you wanna keep going! Dont do something you dont enjoy John, but if youre actually liking it, the shareholders will watch!

[@AFoxInFlames]

Definitely a game I'm enjoying watching but I know I'd get too frustrated playing myself lol❤thanks John

[@Bosorka0]

A fellow pink Monster enjoyer! Seeing yours made me crack one open. The new strawberry one isn't my favorite in terms of flavor but it's pretty tasty anyway, and the can is cute as hell.

[@Madway]

The timetravel element reminds me even more of Parasite Eve, except in that game you only had 1 "rarity" and anyone you possess turns into them (gameplay wise)

[@kaineandrews3790]

I do feel like Toyama might have played a little too much Third Birthday before sitting down to do Slitterhead. Given how the plot’s developing, I feel like I’m gonna change that “might have” to “definitely” by the end. 🤣

[@fuutaipaste6403]

I burst out of laugh every once in a while because of John's Night Owl voice

[@kews6644]

I enjoy this playthrough. Its a nice change of pace compared to other titles. Id enjoy you continuing it.

[@Taraeightthousand]

I'm actually really liking this playthrough! It's definitely interesting. The story progression feels a little clunky with the gameplay chunks and then forced linear dialogue chunks - but I'm digging it!

[@sarahrose1451]

I love your nightowl voice keep it going :)

[@HMAlves]

This looks like a good concept for a X-Men hack and slash with a bit of horror

[@crimsonknightsoul]

This is such an odd game but I'm really enjoying your playthrough.

[@KrazyKoto]

The two new rarities feel harder to get into. Julee's a sweetie but Alex has an egotism with ignoring Lisa and Anita is just apathetic and rude. I'm still really curious where this will go.

[@bhakthyjose1256]

The echoing sighs and grumbles are so funny😂😂😂

[@brigitteespenschied5420]

@50:27 bestie that is ADHD 🤣

[@JBarG22]

Something that's been on my mind is just how cute Julee is

[@ipsxm]

slitterhead?! i hardly know her head!

[@anacsadder]

The team of mask-wearing humans with special abilities that you level up to fight monsters that are invading the city is more and more giving me "super-hero team game". Especially with the parkouring like Spider Man, comparisons to X 23/Wolverine, and the scene where the guy stops the car and fights the soldiers. The human soldiers trying to capture them and calling them all monsters is giving me X-men vibes, too. I think it's a very interesting take on this style of game, it's just not what I would have expected if someone told me the maker of Siren made a new monster game. A criticism is that the pacing of the conversation scenes between action sequences feels slow. I'm interested in the lore and the story, so I wouldn't skip them, but something about clicking through text while the camera drifts around over a hazy image makes them feel like a slog. I guess they wanted to save money on voice acting or something, but I really wish those parts had in game voice acting. It would make them more engaging, I think.

[@TheRedDeath25]

The slitter head obviously hit him with an attack.

[@jodysquires5577]

its basically "parasite eve" to me

[@callistra9]

28:12 Dying at Julee calling it her "pager" and immediately pulling out a telephone

[@lullaby8056]

49:24 A nurse named Lisa, sounds familiar...😂

[@NanaLunaTik]

Love the playthrough and vibes🎉

[@zweenelson971]

John's voice that he uses for Nigh Owl reminds me of a voice used in Futurama for the floating brains. I think it tracks. lol

[@gianlucafedele51]

Love your playthrough

[@julioguadalupe6935]

I’m enjoying seeing the game, but I’m more enjoying your commentary on the cheesy anime elements of it. Would like to see it to the end on your channel but if not, I totally get it.

[@mikeosredkar8804]

"So what are we, Night Owl? Some kind of....suicide squad?"

[@ShawnC07]

John with the David Hayer voiceover on Alex

[@GrayveRoseMusic]

Ohhhh, so thats the jacket wearing anime protagonist that Eddie had killed and sprawled all over his Otherworld. Now it all connects.

[@Case_]

I would gladly watcha full playthrough, very enjoyable, even if the game is average :)

[@artchimera]

I think with the things you’re liking about this game, it might be fun for you to try out Ghostwire Tokyo! It’s the same game studio that did Evil Within 2, which I recall you mostly enjoying in your playthrough. The combat is fun and responsive and you get to traverse pretty freely over rooftops etc in a way that’s a more polished, stylish version of this game imo.

[@tnuplay]

this game is too goofy for me but I'll keep listening your commentary as I work

[@urielgrey]

Thank you John!

[@funnygoat7950]

I'd love to see you finish this if you're up for it! It's a fun watch.

[@aiyase]

The jumping rarities reminds me of The 3rd birthday gameplay

[@e.v.martin8524]

So the streetwalker's special rarity ability is transmitting poison and diseases? Sure, ok. Subtle characterization.

[@ninja78pro]

I really enjoyed this playthrough. I hope you decide to continue playing even though the combat is really clunky.

[@FaultyGlow]

I find this game nearly unbearable except I love the voice you do for Night Owl so much

[@FTZPLTC]

Not sure if you're intentionally playing Night Owl as the Brains from Futurama but it's totally working for me.

[@roramoya]

I can't speak for anyone else but I'd hope we're all reasonable enough to understand that aside from being a content creator you're also a dad, which is a full-time career on it's own that would leave even the most energetic of people in need of extra sleep. It's not an affront nor do I assume "oh wow this guy must be bored" just because they yawn.

[@terpiscoreis9908]

I love John's Night Owl voice it sounds like Troy Baker in Medium

[@skyrimking1803]

Just a sign of getting old I'm the same john get sleepy out of nowhere

[@TheRedDeath25]

The game takes place in the early 90's

[@SharpsPanda]

I'm enjoying it and would watch a full playthrough only if you are enjoying it.

[@wherestheserotonin]

Welcome to the club!

[@skelestial419]

my only guess why Julee didn't know the stuff about Anita you learned in the last episode is that while Night Owl does possess her body, they don't share a conscience. Night Owl learned about Anita while inhabiting a different body than Julee's, that's why I think she genuinely didn't know about her? Edit: Nevermind, just got to the part where Night Owl says their counsciousnesses are fused...

[@neevhingrajia3822]

When’s John gonna play the latest Fears to Fathom game?

[@leaf6033]

Love the game so far, cant wait to see more

[@g2garuda]

sight jack huh? so the devs really want to keep on their siren legacy

[@VorpalSnickerSnack]

If it wasn't for John, I'd refuse to watch any LP. The action feels really slow, unsatisfying and then the protagonist interacting with the rarities puts it at a grinding halt. The enemy design is not good, there's nothing unique or intresting about them, even the attacks are dull. Lastly we're introduced to 3 charaters already and I don't care about any of them. They don't feel to have any impact, if 2 were perma killed it doesn't seem to have any effect story or emotional wise.

[@veronicajacobs1526]

This game surely is interesting

[@CamPopplestone]

Hey John, it's guys.

[@sndrs]

I think the game seems kinda meh so far, but John makes it enjoyable with his playthrough!

[@yumiimoru]

The random English words during the character events are so... odd lol

[@julioguadalupe6935]

Could the timeline issues be due to translation discrepancies? I don’t know many languages but I’ve heard that other languages conjugate/convey time differently. Enough so that an inadequate translation could ham it up.
