Dr. Underhill and a whole lotta CLOCKS - Control [4]

[@RatedDForDerp]

Here’s another fun fact about the portraits you may or may not know: In the beginning as you walk to the Director’s Office, Trench is in the portraits. As soon as you leave the room with the service weapon, Jesse is in them. The change is immediate.

[@UnfazedPhoenix]

She already pointed that out.

[@A_JoMo]

In the luck department you need a sum of 7 (lucky 7) each thing you do in that room gives you points on the TV So the lights on gives you 1 point, you off the carpet 1, the clover gives you 2 The horseshoe and the lucky cat each gives 1, and then the fish within 2 feet gives 1 Now you get 7 on the TV

[@dustinbucy8019]

That explains a lot. I had everything like Gab did but i stayed on the carpet. I was thinking that was the reason she was failing. lol

[@A_JoMo]

@@dustinbucy8019 Yeah it can be done by a lot of different combinations , it just needs to sum up to 7 😄

[@dorkangel1076]

I think not having the executive toy annoy the Elephant counts as one. (edit: I've seen it explained in her next video. Now I'm wondering if there's a different bad luck effect based on the number you come up with... 🤔)

[@Gloomcookie96]

I wanted to be a scientist when I was little. If only 7 year old me had known that I could be a scientist and also say the following: "Quack if you can understand me."

[@natsuotho]

Why the scene with Dr. Darling and his assistants was so funny to me 😂 the way it's recorded reminded me of the office 😂👌👌

[@thatsuspiciouswhalenut]

You need a special quest item for the ashtray maze you'll get later. Also you could check out the pinboard where Ahti's sidequests are posted

[@carmastermax2129]

When Jesse said “it smells good... I wonder how it tastes” I knew instantly that’s what caused the mold creatures with people eating the mold😂 seen in the document at 58:10.

[@Mangasia1]

Underhill is the type of person that goes "Actuallyyyyy.." Also I'm so impressed of the game at 01:21:00, the chair that fell had its bottom part still turning! I wasn't expecting so much details on physics!

[@TheKevphil]

It seems like almost *_everything_* can be acted on and destroyed. This game is like PS5-level state-of-the-art *_now._*

[@z-beeblebrox]

Remedy has always done amazing with their physics stuff. They're leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else in the industry

[@M00SHTY]

Remedy have always been good at physics and gameplay. Max payne 2 was ahead of its time in that department

[@KingseekerCamargo]

I haven't seen the video yet so maybe this is old news by now, but I wanted to get it in early so it doesn't get drowned: Besides regular side quests, there are also a handful of unmarked quests of sorts that might be a tad obscure to figure out, but are worth pursuing. For instance, if you search the area around the furnace (where you burned the trash for Ahti) you might notice a number of TVs displaying flames (there's a total of 7 IIRC). Try throwing them all in the furnace.

[@ladylad2763]

It's a very fun if not obscure side puzzle

[@DehlenaOmen]

I did not know about this... Thank you

[@perahoky]

i love such games which are completely uncommon and special and wierd and puzzlish

[@Endgame_01]

I remember seeing them and I the a bunch in the furnace but I don't think I got 7. No idea that was a thing, I just felt like throwing them in

[@volcemr4469]

I would love to see the DLC for this game.

[@putanecia]

both dlcs are out + integrated into the game if you own them/season pass/ultimate edition and are relatively good dlcs that add more to the game and it's universe in their own ways.

[@joyousjay5639]

Gab! For Hiss Elevated, you can always throw 3 objects at them fast. they'll dodge the first 2 but the last one always hits! That's very useful for shielded ones! Also, check out board countermeasures. they're little challenges like killing a certain enemy a number of times. you can activate and deactivate any ones you want. they might give you helpful mods. And yes please! do the DLCs as well. I couldn't play them myself and love to know what they're about

[@vexillaarius7533]

I'm playing this game for the first time alongside your play-through videos, and I have to say that in this point in the story, the concept of a rapidly duplicating mundane object such as a clock being able to close down a wing of an inter-dimensional government agency really cemented this game as my favorite of this year. I love this stuff so much and it really reminds me of a fringe/x-files universe, I can't wait for more vids!

[@hansenlife9554]

I work in a government lab, and it's not uncommon to have videos made where you are doing something just for the "motions" in the video and not actually doing work or even doing anything the way it's "normally" done :D

[@PetalPrint]

😲 whaaat really? What are the recordings usually used for? And is it as awkward to be filmed doing 'the motions' as it looks in the clip? 😆

[@hansenlife9554]

@@PetalPrint the videos can be used for anything from in house training to news releases. Yes it can be just as awkward because sometimes they want you to do something because it looks good on camera even if it's not how the equipment is used or procedure done.

[@embiggenedbadger4297]

28:14 - I wasn't looking at the screen when this dude showed up. The sound of GAB being scared was what scared the hell out of ME.

[@louisegoldsmith1038]

7:22 : Ah yes, I remember those moments in Control... Also, I love how quickly that room got totally messed up soon after.

[@Lyander25]

Just offhandedly, this playthrough makes me want to re-listen to Welcome to Night Vale. Man, it's been ages but would be perfect to fall asleep to after this :))

[@fancywaffles]

I'm loving watching you play this! Control quickly became one of my most favorite games of all time. I definitely would like to see you play everything this game has to offer.

[@mooncaketin]

Yes! You've finally experienced the delight/horror of the Threshold Kids! 😄

[@Coral_skies]

Gab had the correct response to "Threshold Kids"

[@weeklyfont]

My favorite game of last year and up there in the all-time category as well. It's really fun to watch someone dive into the incredible world they've built.

[@ke5uq1we8h]

8:54 Luck must be measured precisely, too high luck don't give result. Each "luck item" add some amount. Stack up "luck" until the number is right.

[@TheKevphil]

One of the previous playthroughs I watched never even tried to gather all the mold samples. Nice to see that completed!

[@SininenVenom]

I'm impressed she got them so soon in the game, I didn't go down to the pit until I had all the traversal skills. Also those mold shooters are pretty annoying.

[@Meow_meow3000]

Please keep bb in your videos. He's playing the game with you and part of the entertainment

[@annemariepotgieter2293]

I'm just gonna say it: Threshold kids is the most terrifying thing I've ever laid eyes upon.

[@spiralcraft8957]

i am a aspiring game dev so its great to re watch the game and just focus the game design and learn. really hope you do the side content that was too much for my pc to handle. thanks aton for this playthrough i am really keeping a eye out for these in my timeline.

[@Rodark_GR]

oooh two hours!! awesome, really loving this

[@iladvii]

*Gab converts one of those flying death mops to her side* Oh shit we're cooking with fire now.

[@rmstalker1928]

This has already been said, I think, but for the luck puzzle, you need to use only a couple of the things that add to luck active, for example, if you're at 8, you can turn off the lights and go down to 7. Also, are you ever going to play Doom Eternal?

[@dandyprime5338]

When you walked into Darling's Office, you got a Multimedia called HRAs you never listened to or watched. Again, you may want to turn on the copyrighted music for yourself and edit it out for us if you can because one segment of this game is going to lose its power and awesomeness with the music off. The DLCs are awesome and both of them add like 10 hours of additional content. They add a lot of new and cool areas, mods, enemies, missions, etc. The second DLC, which is called AWE, is a clever nod here that while we know AWE means Altered World Event, it could also mean Alan Wake Expansion, since the AWE DLC dives into Alan Wake stuff. It would probably be better if you replayed Alan Wake before playing the second DLC though to get a good refresher on everything so the stuff in the second DLC doesn't completely go over your head. This series is awesome!

[@Wunderwolfer]

Awww, I never did the luck puzzle! I'll have to go back and check it out. Great playthrough. Thanks for uploading

[@johnnvogt]

Make sure you pay attention to the top left corner where it says your current quest and objective. The first word is the sector/ floor you need to be on and the second is the specific room you need to go to. It’ll help so you’re not just walking around exploring and randomly uncovering different things. 😄

[@rigelj690]

Favorite series on KZbin- Gab, you’re amazing.

[@z-beeblebrox]

57:57 OMG it's The STUFF!!! :D (god that's an obscure movie to show up here)

[@KingseekerCamargo]

Protip: There's a button (can't remember the default) that switches the camera over Jesse's left/right shoulder. It's *extremely* helpful to work around different covers.

[@kellynguyen353]

Before I watch I just want to leave a comment saying how much of a treat this is for me! Thanks for playing this game!

[@Poli.Zygotikk]

The beginning of the fight at 6:17 was so cool it looked like a movie scene

[@jhchoi1828]

Personally, I think the final boss of this game is a goddamn mold. Massive aiming speed and attack speed. The power of being knocked down by a single hit. I would like to know Dr. Underhill's past if DLC comes out later. Maybe she ate mold jam on the bread. :) I always enjoy watching your videos. I am a Korean fan living in Japan. Please continue to make good videos.

[@anandromeda]

thank you!!! i've been so anxious for this game i love it

You found the threshold kids! Aren't they bizarre lol

[@putanecia]

the game itself and alan wake are both in the same universe according to remedy, there are little nods to alan wake throughout control if you can catch find them and the awe dlc explains how they connect a bit more thoroughly. the foundation dlc explains a bit more about the history of the oldest house. both add more to the house in terms of locations, mods, abilities, etc and are pretty good dlcs and worth looking into if you wanna understand the world of control a bit more

The AWE DLC is like a transition to the next Remedy game, which likely involves CONTROL and ALAN WAKE. Can't wait!

[@28jeshna63]

God! I genuinely love her videos She’s super cool!!

[@rask004]

When combat happens, the music changes and will remain changed until combat ends, so keep an ear out for that. If the music is not normal or silent ALWAYS assume combat is in progress and be prepared. With combat, always look as much for cues about enemies as the enemies themselves - strange blurs, the sounds of grenade or rocket launchers, the literal hiss of enemies, searchlights of snipers and so on. during earlier combats in the video lots of these cues were present but you had not noticed and consequently you were surprised by enemies. You're playing combat well enough, but it is going to get a LOT harder especially toward the end, and you will need better situational awareness, otherwise you will be surprised or swarmed by enemies and killed. Each time you die you lose "source" needed for upgrades and possibly abilities. If you happen to be losing too much source, you will have trouble improving your character and will have to farm with Board Countermeasures or face more difficult combat later in the game.

[@JosephDufour]

The AWE DLC can be done alongside the main story, this has some Alan Wake references. And there are some very special mods you can get. The foundation DLC has to be started after most of the main story is done. I would love to see both, and a Wake playthrough too!

[@frussell27]

I hope your enjoying it because I love this game. I played it on PS Now so I didn't play the DLC. I didn't even know it had a DLC:) I would like to see it.

[@Tahu5Fan]

The Foundation and AWE DLC are pretty connected to the main story of the game. They give you more looks into the background of certain characters and creatures. I'm all for seeing you play them! I think the thing in the Luck Department puzzle was the horseshoe. The white board had one with a question mark on it so it would be worth a try to try the puzzle when it's pointing either up or down.

[@anthonygerman6168]

The Virgo Vixen is back! One day is like a year when your not here! I checked out Skyrim, not bad-not bad, very good game, but this one here...I just can't get enough of! I worked my way up to this part; I'm using your vids as a guide...ya know what, enough said I'm a just let you do your ass kicking thing! Lol

[@theyounggamer3315]

I get the sense that Dr. Underhill knows you're the new director (Jesse is literally the only one not wearing one of the things Darling made) but doesn't give a shit and treats you like a nuisance there to run errands for her, like she treats everyone else.

Asking if people are into the game, and here I am watching the entire playthrough a second time after Allen Wake 2. Yeah... this game is supremely underrated.

the threshold kids have episodes throughout the game if you find the tvs they are very creepy

For the luck department puzzle i saw you activate the newton cradle earlier in the video. that is supposed to be off. the guide i used said for it to be still.

[@RavensAgent]

1:48:07 YES 100% Please do this GAB!

[@shannasemenza8821]

activate both pendulums so both the horseshoe and the elephant are being tapped for the luck puzzle. all lights on, 4 leaf clover in room, fish in room, main horseshoe up to catch luck, neko waving paw, and get off red carpet. it's the second DLC that is Allen Wake tied and it BIG time tied. but even in the main game you will find stuff that hints at Allen Wake in the penopticon you just have to be willing to try and reach everywhere and look everywhere.

[@squidooVA]

I love this series

[@emmajenkins8273]

Apologies if this doubles up another comment. There are two DLCs out for control, the first one, the Foundation, has basically nothing to do with Alan Wake, but gives some great lore on how people first discovered the Oldest House, as well as some awesome new abilities (and cat ears for your costume if you can figure out the puzzle!). The second DLC, AWE is so deeply linked with the Alan Wake games that it might even be worth playing them and their DLCs before taking it on, depending on how good your memory of the Alan Wake games and their DLCs are. Also, I had forgotten how messed up Threshold Kids was! Wait until you find the lore for those!

[@Shad0wmoses]

hey gab just a suggestion but with the regular pistol mode try shooting without aiming down sights...you'd be surprised at how much easier it is. i started ADS in first few hours but quickly realized hip fire is so much faster and easier than ADS especially in the midst of combat.
