EtG: House of the Gundead | Full Game Analysis

[@Some_Bunny]

cool video, but I wanted to point out that at 22:22, the blob with the crown *is* actually visible during the boss fight, who is at the right-most part of the huge mass. You can see her wearing her crown, though, like you mentioned, whether that specific crown-wearing blob is the queen is up for debate.

[@maxsadler117]

Came here to comment this, and personally I actually think that that's the queen, "hiding" in the masses

[@Username-jx2ij]

yup

[@Nevernamed]

How in the hell did I miss that. Thank you SamBosnia

[@kalslengulkdexa8692]

it would be interesting if the gungeon is in a constant state of being destroyed and then re-appearing due to its paradoxical nature. always tearing its self apart from its paradoxical nature while at the same time never truly being allowed to disappear or be truly destroyed.

[@RedshirtAfficionado]

Boy howdy that'd make the first game a massive waste of time

[@ddayskeleton]

@@RedshirtAfficionadoand yet perfect for the roguelike genre

[@RedshirtAfficionado]

@@ddayskeleton That is true, actually.

[@obscure.reference]

@@ddayskeleton the original concept is already perfect for the genre, this erases the player’s impact on the world, the journey of the game.

[@2lazyt378]

My theory is that every time the gungeon is destroyed that it rebuilds itself. And whenever a espcially catostrphic event happens the process can result in an extremely different gungeon, like rebuilding a lego set from memory and while it comes out alright on a surface level something about it has ended up different. This effect could extend to the planet itself, and maybe even the gungeon timeline, but who knows?

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

I agree. The Gungeon is by its nature paradoxical, so I don't really sweat watching it explode multiple times.

I think this game should get a VR port. Just imagine this arcadey shooter with a superb art style in VR, and it's a great business decision cause of how few arcade machines there are.

[@triggerhappy4199]

I’d buy it asap

[@Wessaman]

hell ye

[@tomlikeabomb6706]

That’d be awesome

[@a_random_lizard]

I'll buy it in a heartbeat

[@ahjh1695]

My theory on the why of the ending is that after Exit the Gungeon, due to the gungeon’s own curse and how it can mess with space and time, it may have forced itself into a state that was just barely stable enough to not collapse again, but due to the cannon fire right under the foundation and us then flying a mothership out from under it, the gungeon began to collapse again and now without proper foundation actually fell, and all the gunpowder and magic inside, now released, detonated and took the planet with it.

[@n8m8___]

I really hope this comes out on digital it looks fun

[@Prysmatication]

As cool as that would be, I think it should stay as an arcade machine. Playing a port of the game would weaken the arcade experience, at least for me.

[@arnicite5354]

@@Prysmaticationwhile I do agree it may weaken the experience. I feel it should be noted that many people (myself included) have never and probably will never be able to play the game unless it comes out on digital due to the fact that the game hasn’t been released in many countries.

[@CallMeDoc_]

@@Prysmatication it absolutely would, but counterpoint: vr port?

[@littlehorn0063]

If all of these arcade cabinets will become inacessible, then the game would disappear. Just selling the files for this cabinet would be great, as it could be recreated and/or modified easily later on.

[@MajesticFox-ob4ss]

@@arnicite5354 If they could make time Crisis 2 for the ps2 and you could buy a gun and foot pedal, and play like you were in the arcade back in the 1990s then why cant we play gungeon in the same style, even if we had to fork out for a new monitor? Laziness!

[@MatheusFronterottaMotta]

The Auto-9 pistol is a direct reference to the gun Robocop uses. Also the flavor text "Your move, creep" is a line said by Robo in the first movie.

[@somescrub8960]

The flak gun is a reference to the flak cannon from the unreal series and in game it's a "shotgun" for it's primary fire it detonates a grenade inside the barrel firing shrapnel ricocheting projectiles like a shotgun and just fires the grenade with its secondary fire. I would kill for this one to be in the pc enter the gungeon game

[@SpicyToTopo1343]

i think the Gunnuts holding barrels like in 16:06 are a reference to F A T and muscular zombies doing the same on the House of the Dead games, were upon entering a room with them they always attacked with a barrel or some other kind of furniture before charging at you i mean, its not line THOTD series invented guys throwing barrels, but it could be a neat reference

[@kirpylinky]

I love how your bullet anatomy immune system at 9:18 is practically 100% proven cause of the bloblion infection

[@creationfied]

love how everytime the screen cuts to black its just him holding his camera up

[@tronche2cake]

To be honest it makes sense for the Gungeon timeline to make no sense, because Gungeon at its core is a game about altering timelines.

[@obscure.reference]

this is the right answer i think

[@TheRealSuperKirby]

Im gonna say this game takes place at the exact same time as exit the gungeon, in exit the gungeon the place is never really seen crumbling, (outside of a single cutscene at the beginning) it just feels that way because we are rapidly moving, it only really starts collapsing by the time we leave. Super space turtle has likely already escaped the gungeon many times since hes already outside when you get to the glocktopus, the only issue is how super space turtle is leaving the gungeon in the main crew's ship and lamey's ship at the same time, but that could be fixed with simple retcon.

[@AnUsername]

If its at the same time as exit, how is the rat on the outside already? Unless thats just a completely unrelated criminal rat person.

[@TheRealSuperKirby]

@@AnUsername same way super space turtle is out, just capable enough to have escaped before us

[@andreassmed2255]

And the Blobulons?

[@TheRealSuperKirby]

@@andreassmed2255 what about them?

[@thegreattoost7260]

This made me want to dive in the gungeon again, the lore is so fascinating

[@yahavshalem5692]

22:29 the crowned blob also clearly appears in game, on the right shoulder

[@UnknownCleric2420]

Pretty sure the 6th gun that the Boholster wields in the art is a Luger. The boxy shape with the protruding barrel gives it away for me. It's the same gun used by Max in the Sam & Max series, as well as the Lugermorph weapon from Team Fortress 2 that was based on said series. Also, the Eye of the Beholster *is* a revolver, so he technically always does have a revolver :p

[@Nevernamed]

Technically the eye doesnt revolve :)

[@UnknownCleric2420]

@Nevernamed ...you know what, fair enough It would be nice if it did though, then it'd be rolling its eyes with every shot.

[@gamzeemakara7409]

Old video so idk who will see this, but the text at 18:58 “A sinister bell rings”, which is the same as the mine flayers text in Enter the Gungeon, is a reference to Bloodborne. When you use the summoning item in Bloodborne for other players it says a sinister bell rings.

[@wyattkefauver2055]

The sixth gun the beholster holds looks to be a Mauser broomstick a German sidearm in ww2

[@dani1999n]

11:10 sweet, an unreal tournament reference

[@mammalianmolasses4724]

I’m still unbelievably pissed at devolver for making this an arcade exclusive. Like wtf.

[@thecosmicapple1962]

[@TV0-0]

Please never stop making videos, I love them so much!

[@jacklander4480]

Flak is a reference to Unreal Tournament, specifically it uses the appearance of 3 and 4

[@hoodless_1]

good video, WHEN are you doing that every ETG enemy smash or pass you promised us?

[@jademushroom2906]

Can't wait to see mods integrate some of the stuff seen in the arcade game to modded gungeon

[@mortimerwake2974]

The blobulon with the crown is clearly on the right side of the in-game sprite

[@Kreevox]

That sixth gun the beholster carries is a Walther P38

[@Jman-367]

that sixth gun the beholster holds in his boss card looks like it could be a luger or a auto mag model 180 though I lean more towards the auto mag

[@ahiruppoi]

i didnt hear you mention this and i dont know if its important but the "queen blobs" eyes are actually also blobs

[@-Commit-arson-]

I’m pretty sure the gungen is back specifically because of the time warp in effect because the past killing gun It’s like how in Doctor Who the doctor can travel forward in time to the death of the tardis using the tardis The gungeon is still destroyed It just decided to travel back in time to where it is not yet destroyed Traveling sporadically on its own timeline willy-nilly on the wims of kaliber

[@masonasaro2118]

you had me at “contra spread gun”

[@grzesiaczek98]

I just want to point out that the design of BOTH blobulonian ships are very reminiscent of the design of Imperial spaceships from Warhammer 40k. Might be intentional, might be not.

[@Xx_deadmeme_xX]

Maybe a chaos corrupted one special since the blobulonian ship’s spikes and blob growths seem very similar to most chaos ships.

[@Undrscorr]

I’ve played this before, it’s gotta be the best arcade game I’ve played.

[@samwill7259]

I wonder what patreon tier we would need to reach to let you buy one of these puppies and really take it apart XP

[@StoryDood]

I wanna just say, The Detective's pistol in the cutscenes looks to be a reference to the Magnum from Halo

[@DistinguishedMrGatox]

Duuuude, this is awesome! :D

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

Hey Nervernamed, would you be interested in making a video discussing your mod preferences? I've been trying to figure out which content packs are worth it, and which ones don't work together.

[@masqueradewat]

just a couple of things, the auto9 and it's flavour text are a robocop reference, and the spread gun and it's flavour text reference contra

[@purrplo]

OMG you're back!

[@thelawpayton6927]

ok so i have a theory that the place while falling apart, the blobs who survived fused into the queen and worked as a sorta nervous system, the ship acting as a form of implanted heart, and well once they kill the one controlling the heart the place starts to fall apart the reason why i dont say its before is due to none of the other characters present... implying they left or cant really leave (sir manual)

[@ScarlettCaelin]

It took me all the way until the end to realize the pistol from this detective character has a resemblance to the classic halo magnum

[@Twekion]

To be honest I thought this game happened before Enter The Gungeon, I though that the Rat being out meant this game was set before he came to the Gungeon, not after he escaped.

[@mayplemoon]

I still wish that a fully documented page of this game is made on the wiki, also i´ve seen another gun in a different video, the "potato gun"

[@chilidude5522]

i really hope they add a pc port like exit the gungeon cause DAMN is it impossible to play unless you have the money or if your local arcade has it

honestly yeah the problem is the same with all arcade games but maby a mobile and pc port will be made coz i want to play it so much aswell

[@julianraghib8315]

[@elijahcox1521]

Flak gun is 100% a reference to borderlands

[@TheRealRiver2763]

tbh I really don't understand Dodge Rolls obsession with updating the artstyle every game

[@Some_Bunny]

they probably dont do it intentionally, their art improves and changes with time and thats just how it is

[@wolftales5203]

Nevernamed still at it ✊️

[@thecpmr6276]

There's a chance the rat was a dick before entering the Gungeon, and so this simply takes place before he... entered the Gungeon. As well, the events of House of The Gundead could be the mass migration of the blobs into the Gungeon. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. Wouldn't it make sense of stash was a retired president who became a...whatever he is in EtG?

[@proface5209]

Note that the 'eyes' of the blobulonian queen are themselves blobulonians

[@luan8044]

Is the detective character pretty much Lamey with longer hair?

[@Furionic696]

Arcade locking this game was the biggest L gungeon has suffered in its brief existence

[@kaishedan37]

the beholsters 6th gun looks somewhat like a luger?

[@bookreaderman6715]

Nah it doesn't have the iconic toggle lock system on top, it makes me think of a different gun that I will come back with, but the one I'm thinking of isn't in gungeon otherwise to my knowledge

[@bookreaderman6715]

I'm thinking of the Webley 1913

No wayyyyyyy

[@cookiepooponpon5906]

does the detective just have no name?

[@Nevernamed]

She's named like the other characters from Enter the Gungeon, The Marine, The Convict, The Hunter, etc... she's The Detective. Actually, she is a cut character from Enter the Gungeon, and in her unused development form, she was called 'Lamey', so she actually has more of a name than most of the other characters.

[@charleshaskell2056]

I'm pretty sure the detective is supposed to be Eevee or whatever the shifting sprite lady who's not the paradox was called

[@warp5820]

ok I'm sorry but in the law the rat stole for his family came to the gungeon got stuck and loved annoying gungeoners so I see no reason why this can't be the prequal minus the small fact of the planet exploding.

[@ethantaylor9613]

I would say the overall most obnoxious thing gungeon is the seeming insistence on making stuff like the book they released and this game extremely inaccessible. Somebody needs to crack this game sooner rather than later. I’d love to give the money for it, but they seem to not want mine.
