GAME SINS | Everything Wrong With Binary Domain

[@Piotwor]

Binary Domain is a criminally underrated gem. It deserved better.

[@gideongannon2128]

i guess I'm pretty randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to watch newly released series online?

[@Aozora333]

sure looks like it. lol...

[@mustardmule4723]

I’ve just completed it today after randomly coming across it and I agree, it’s such an underrated & hidden gem

[@T8-TR]

>Say he'll remove a sin >Adds a sin instead D:

[@Refloni]

Not the first time either

[@tetragem1887]

RushingDolphin so tardigan

[@timowthie]

He sins it because of the fact that other games dont usually have native language spoken.

[@benpowell-punmaster1214]

timowthie how does that make sense?

[@KaiTenSatsuma]

@@timowthie He said "I shouldn't have to take off a sin for this" though, so....yup.

[@Xerxyz86]

Cute Unecessary Names Taskforce... I see what you did there

[@decasuffrage9021]

@KentuckyFriedSnake Don't forget the Wisconsin Environmental Education Board!

[@johnsnow9210]

It took me 10 min to get that joke.

[@mariokarter13]

Some games just get funnier with age. You've got securing the existence of our people and a future for human children in Binary Domain, the president secretly working with the Russians in Vanquish, and the final boss of Revengeance wanting to Make America Great Again.

[@KeiBrightwing]

I played the hell out of this game when it came out. One of the best shooters on X360 to me. It takes some effort, but if you get Cain's approval of you high enough, he will take the hit for Faye instead of Bo and everyone will survive that way. My vote is for Dead Space 2. Way more of a story there to sin than in Bayonetta.

[@j.kedeshturner2086]

Me too

[@padcrew5647]

"Cain is more interested in getting cute lines in than warning of potential threats. I would be looking for the Spanish langauge option after this. " 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥

[@LondonLock]

Biggest sin not enough Cain Also the fact I cant stop shooting and start punching the robots despite the game being made by the yakuza devs

[@-pressxtostart-]

What?! Is it?! 😧

[@ulyssesocounter8488]

You can punch the robots actually

[@PERSONAfan01]

A perfect follow up after watching Two Best Friends Playthrough of this game. I still found it fun though XD. Keep it up man and im throwing in my hat for Bayo.

[@tougeruzbay]

This and Vanquish are my favorite but sadly never made squeals to them.

[@SailorMoonFriends]

Well both games are published by Sega and are Gears Of War knock-offs, the only difference is that Vanquish is more fast paced while Binary Domain is more slowed paced

[@giguyjoe]

7:14 Oh so the good ol' pre gamergate days when gaming journalists still knew who their core audience was.

[@natethegreat7967]

The ammo vending machines are for security teams to restock, since they probably get into firefights with rebels in the undercity all the time.

[@davidfalloutbandit]

That freeway bossfight robot with the giant wheel is literally just devastator from the Live action transformers movies...

[@beastman95]

"Cute Unnecessary Names Taskforce" Really?

[@SnivyTries]

Okay, so why is it a game made in 2012 has a worse voice interaction system than a game made in 2008? I'm referring to Tom Clancy's Endwar, which allowed you to give orders to your units over your mic instead of controller input. That game actually WORKED.

[@mr.kenway4554]

Unfortunately the comms mechanic in Binary Domain actually works, if you say incredibly racist 'engrish' phrases. Seems like they did playtest the mechanic, but only with their Japanese playtesters.

[@Gamenick101]

19:58 if cain's trust is high enough he will be hit in this situation and Bo can survive this one. Cain survives the hit anyway

[@skeletalobserver406]

Shit... i just beat the game... guess I'm in for another round now lol

[@ddbenefield81]

Maaaaaaan!!!! I forgot all about this game. This was one of the funnest games I have ever played that nobody has ever heard of. The only way that I found out about it was because of it being one of the free games on PlayStation Plus for the PS3 back in 2014. Dartigan, my man, you are the G.O.A.T for sinning this one!

[@jonah_da_mann]

10:37 - To answer this question requires an explanation of why human beings stereotype in the first place, and why some people have a problem with it but not others. Before I begin, I must first state that the worst idea in all of psychology is that of Tabula Rasa - the idea that humans have no innate programming and that the mind is a blank slate at birth. This theory has been widely discredited by geneticists in academia ever since the 1980s, but some people still believe it to this day, presumably due to some idealistic fantasy that human nature can be perfected and a perfect world will some day be possible (utopia). However, "innate" does not mean "un-maleable", so while there is very little about us that isn't innately rooted, it can - to an extent - be controlled and conditioned via social context and self-cultivation. For more about this, check out the following books: - The Blank Slate, by Steven Pinker - The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt Anyway, moving on. The first thing you need to know about human beings is that we're tribal. Throughout most of history we lived in either 1) small tribes of less than 150 people (Dunbar's Number), or 2) nation states held together by a shared sense of identity and cultural values. In both types of societies, borders and group identity were overwhelmingly determined by ethnic, linguistic, and cultural conformity. Because of this extensive history of tribalism and ethnocentric cooperation, it has become a natural human instinct to associate race with culture, culture with nationality, and nationality with language, and so on and so forth. This is in fact, how the modern nation states were formed: around ethnicity, language, and culture. The point is, humans are hardwired - by evolution - to recognize differences in, and patterns of behaviour. The reason why we do this is so that we can navigate our way through society and find people with whom we can form stable, reciprocal relationships with, thus increasing our strength-in-numbers, and our chances of survival. And this brings me to why people stereotype: it is due to a lack of familiarity with people from foreign cultures, or with whom we do not share a sense of 'in-group' identity. If someone from your own culture does something that is over-the-top or taboo for instance, you know that their behaviour is not "normal" because you know that is not common in the broader context of the culture in which you were both raised. However, if you see someone who is of a different race doing something that is uncommon or taboo in the context of your own culture, it is an evolutionary instinct to assume that they are from different culture, and that their behaviour is reflective of said culture. In other words, if a white person sees another white person committing a crime, they will just write that person off as a deviant committing a crime. But if a white person sees a latino person committing the exact same crime, they will instead assume that latino societies have more criminal activity and less rule of law. In psychology, this particular cognitive bias is known as the "Group Attribution Error". Now, our innate tendency to stereotype people of other races and cultures can be mitigated through education, as well as contact and familiarity with people of other races (this is called contact theory - the idea that people are "nice once you get to know them"). This is why stereotyping is discouraged and even frowned upon by many Americans: the United States is a very ethnically diverse country (at least within the cities), so there is more exposure to and interpersonal communication with people of different social and cultural backgrounds. It helps that a decent number of minorities in the U.S. have more or less assimilated into traditional American society anyway, and so there is less of a feeling of 'in-group vs out-group' animosity between racial groups. Japan on the other hand, is an extremely homogenous country (the third-most racially unified country in the world behind the two Koreas). As a result, there is little contact between most Japanese and people of other ethnicities, so ethnic and cultural stereotyping runs rampant in Japanese media. As for why they can get away with it so much? The reason is because Japan - having a population that is around 98.5% 'pure-blooded' Japanese - has almost no minority groups who will get upset over it. In other words, stereotyping and underrepresentation of minorities in the media only become issues when there ARE minority groups in the country to feel the negative effects of it all. This is why there was a huge controversy over the whitewashing in the American adaptation of Ghost in the Shell last year, even though people in Japan didn't seem to have any problem with it; American audiences felt that it was deliberately under-representing and alienating Asian-americans (whom already have a history of being ridiculed and mistreated by the white American majority, to say the least). Most Japanese people in Japan however, didn't see what the problem was. Think of it this way: would you be upset if Japan made its own adaptation of Superman starring a Japanese actor in the lead role? Probably not. But if Japan was a very ethnically diverse country with tons of white people and history of systemic racism being directed towards them, then you could probably understand why there would be a huge fuss about it. In fact, most controversies regarding the portrayal of other races in Japanese media tend to revolve around Japanese-Koreans and Japanese-Chinese, both of whom make up Japan's two largest minority populations (if you can even call them large), and this is only exacerbated by the fact that China and Korea were victims of brutal and heinous war crimes at the hands of the Japanese empire during World War II, and the resentment felt by their respective populations towards Japan still lingers to this day. Going back to Ghost in the Shell, many Japanese people in Japan felt that the whitewashing in the film was still preferable to hiring an asian actress who is not Japanese to play the lead role. Memoirs of a Geisha was controversial in East Asia for precisely this reason. Likewise, the casting of a Japanese-Korean actress to play the role of Mikasa in the live-action film adaptation of Attack On Titan was similarly controversial.

[@Chaos89P]

Education is a necessity these days when it comes to foreign cultures, both literal and figurative. However, I also think that there needs to be an understanding of the difference between someone not knowing any better (i.e. the Japanese only portraying Americans through stereotypes) and blatant racism, because a lot of people seem to think that there's no difference between either. I feel like I can say quite a bit on the issue, but I also feel like putting what I think is not necessary in this scenario.

[@sparklingdiamnd]

JonahtheMann holy tl;dr, batman

[@dangerwarg9682]

Thinking that stereotypes are racist is pretty stupid. If I were to flip my hair up, wear fake glasses, a scarf, a plaid shirt, skinny nut crunching jeans, avoid mainstream and think I'm unique, then am I being racist toward hipsters?

[@Changetheling]

A fantastic read, OP. Keep it up.

[@LaRavachole]

JonahtheMann Thanks for sharing such detailed thought. The kind of comment that adds so much more view.

[@Crazelord91]

What timing, I literally just finished this game for the first time a week ago. So excited to watch this! (For as much as I loved it, it has a ton of quirks and faults to rip on)

[@ns6438]

I liked how with this one, you were more comedic than usual. It was a nice touch.

[@LondonLock]

4:30 well the game was made in japan most likely they just swapped over to the Japanese audio

[@davidcopperfield5345]

That terminator scale solution just earned you a subscriber

[@Gamer1288]

8:15 Also, What would happen if there are people using the two next to it and you need to get in your secret base? They should have at least had all three out of order instead of just the middle one.

[@francesco8000]

Guns and ammo machine everywhere including sewers and abandoned part of the city? I guess in this future the NRA moved to Japan. Yeah this joke is a bit too political considering what is happening right now but i had to say it.

[@francesco8000]

Well if The Law says that there is nothing wrong it must be true.

[@mariokarter13]

It's Japan, they sell EVERYTHING in vending machines.

[@ThatOneGuy7550]

Lol fuck people getting triggered over it being political it was funny!

[@maxxtheender]

Francesco ha you believe that the NRA is entirely pro gun? They’ve been helping make some of these regulations for YEARS while simultaneously lying about what they actually wanted to the people who fund them. What you probably mean is the GOA, or some organisation who won’t back off an inch for pro 2nd amendment.

[@francesco8000]

After watching a bit of George Carlin i understood that i made a mistake. I should have just made the joke and say "if you have a problem with it i don't give a shit". Oh well, shit happens.

[@joser1853]

One of the best shooters I've ever played. Last generation really made me sad as my top 3 shooters were: Vanquish, Spec Ops and this - all of the them tanked commercially.

[@Zero_Shift]

7:55 I remember playing that 6 years ago, when I was about her age, and I said "Sure" because she seemed kinda cute. Well, TIL she told everyone that she was 15 before, I actually didn't remember that from back then, though I remember everything else about this game. I'm probably on a list then.

[@jakespacepiratee3740]

Binary Domain feels like a Hideo Kojima Game from a different Timeline.

[@shadowstrider5033]

I didn't even know the game has a best ending.....

[@necroaeon]

I haven't seen a good Dead Space sin video, there's hardly any of them. But, Platinum games are always over the top, ridiculous, but in the end, just fucking awesome. Dead Space needs a good video, Visceral would have wanted it that way.

[@Gamer1288]

2:33 I don't blame you for forgetting that Dragon Ball was the original series and that Z (Which Android 16 is from) was the first sequel. GT was the original sequel to Z that was declared non-canon, so now Super takes GT's place as the Sequel to Z.

[@Kheapathic]

Probably not what you want to hear, but you sold me on this game.

[@markfunkbunch7179]

thats no ordinary voice actor thats voicing Kurosawa English lines.....thats the one and only johnny yong bosch!!!!:D

[@jermaineeghan1675]

All of your vids are classics 😭💪🏿💯

[@Mate397]

Don't worry, Warframe is bringing robot spiders back, in various sizes too!

[@murasakiusagi5124]

Indeed, I can't wait for the nightmares

[@Darkmirror7]

Bo actually survives if you have a sufficient trust level for everyone. I believe he gets saved by Cain? Though Can't blame you for not getting full trust level with everyone, since that is apparently very tight to get without the trust booster object you can find.

[@Merlaut715]

How do you gain trust with them? I've currently been playing this & usually pick Bo & Rachel to tag along with me.

[@Darkmirror7]

I think it's letting them run in your squad and give them compliments and the likes.

[@dangerwarg9682]

Score a bunch of kills in quick secession will also rack up trust with members in your active party. Some areas in the game will have infinite enemies while others are a bitch because you have no choice in who to bring.

[@Connorhatcher13]

Dead space 2

[@ggmasterguiltygear6315]

Dude! Yu forgot the multiple endings! Especially the one where cain bust in to save everyone at the end! I love that guy

[@endplanets]

2:32 I think that was a reference to Robo-Cop when ED-209 says "down your weapon" before drilling the salaryman. -How do Hollow Children bypass the fact that they are GOD DAMN ROBOT for decades. They never pee. Never get sick. Never visit a doctor. Never get fat. Red Vs Blue solved this problem gosh darn it. -People born of machines are not robots. At all. Blade Runner and Binary Domain ask a question which Android 18 answered in 3 seconds which super moron Goku clearly understood. Robot Jox (1990) just called em Tubies and that that. -Frency the robot is the best. -I get that others wouldn't trust Faye for a bit after the reveal, but why would she betray her squad, her country, and humanity. When Frederick Douglass found out he was half-white he didn't immediately become a white supremacist.

[@Changetheling]

Props to you for mentioning Robot Jox.

[@jonahbrown5669]

Dan looks like a buff Adam Sandler

[@inebriationconversation4526]

You know what? Defending shindo while he shits is a damn good mission.

[@xxvaltielxx1789]

7:57 Huh! i guess that explains the black van that's allways outside of my house when im always at home.

[@GFiero87]

Suddenly I'm having Bladerunner /Terminator flashbacks Bayonetta Next

[@Doggejern]

Japan actually DOES have those Matrix Reloaded style freeways.

[@Donomyte935]

Bayonetta please.

[@yakuzashibe]

Donovan More like. DEVIL MAY CRY 2!

[@HucklePeel]

Your wish has been granted

[@bobtista88]

This game needs a sequel.

[@TeryJones]

How do you sin Bayonetta exactly? It's like trying to sin a Tom & Jerry cartoon, any leaps in logic are entirely the point and you'd just be trying to ice skate uphill. Definetely go with Dead Space 2

[@SlyDante]

No sins removed for Big Bo?? Boooo!! BOOOOOOOOO!!! That said, awesome video as always. My vote goes towards Dead Space 2.

[@usmanahmed8027]

Next time bayonetta.

[@kairowskiller4006]

I remember seeing Dartigan having a problems with the voice commands, so I *DINGED* it during stream.

[@Kennethho229]

he looks like coach from left for dead

[@jeypi__]

ITS RIDICULOUS HOW HOLLOW CHILDREN HAVE NOT BEEN FOUND JUST THROUGH A REGULAR XRAY 😂

[@Appleyfrog]

Please do Vanquish next

[@RorytheRomulan]

The handler calls out specifically that Main Character take special care in his conduct toward women while abroad lest he "bring shame on America". The admonishing order is not given with respect to the fact that the Main Character is on duty abroad in a foreign setting, but with respect that some of his allies are the opposite sex. It appears that the roots of joke policing have dug their way into the special forces within the US by the 2040's. This seems unwittingly on-point.

[@Commanderflynn]

I just realised the main character sounds strikingly similar to the Dub of Roy Mustang in FMA:Brotherhood... *googles* Huh so it is! Cool!

[@talesofragnarok]

You probably saw this when checking, but he voiced him in the original series, too. :)

[@Commanderflynn]

Yeah I did. I really didn't click till about part way during this video that clicked.

[@natethegreat7967]

I always thought Travis Willingham sounded close to Patrick Seitz in this game.

[@superxmario128]

The game was actually pretty fun. Shame it didn't sell very well

[@ThatOneGuy7550]

Sin Bayonetta!

[@LoganProductions54]

He can't that's a Nintendo product. They'd copyright claim the video within seconds of posting

[@ThatOneGuy7550]

I mean if it gets enough votes he'll still do it. I don't doubt you though, Nintendo has a history of doing this and it's really shitty.

[@yunoisreal757]

bayonetta please

[@tia119]

What's Sam from Metal Gear Rising doing here? 🤔

[@jonathonpaulstarmer1959]

Riddle me this Batman...If two face actors get married...Do you think they ever bring their character voices in the bedroom? 😎😎😎

[@alexlizard3644]

oh man this game is such a hidden gem :-)

[@jameswest6232]

Bayonetta please. I love it when you review a Platinum game. BTW FOURTH! (since no one commented First!)

[@jameswest6232]

I think Gaming Sins does those videos (granted they're few and far between and not that good). Part of me would love to see Dartigan start Everything Great About videos for games, but I think his voice lends itself better to EWW.

[@escapefromtibet2530]

James West It's not a review! You have to see the difference between a review and satirical nitpicking.

[@propheci]

Cult classic from last gen or wanna be playable anime? You tell me...

[@escapefromtibet2530]

Wings of Prophecy both

[@ThatOneGuy7550]

why not both?

[@Chaos89P]

Wings of Prophecy Which is which?

[@Merlaut715]

Maybe the latter, as I didn't like its gameplay as much as the story, characters & setting.

[@propheci]

Yes. And bayonetta next.

[@Reikosamaa]

sounds like the giant robot spider uses the aim of a illegal version of Arma (where the aim gets worse with every shot)

[@FieraFran]

Ah yes. I watched you play it. I think I enjoyed it waaaaay too much.

[@danielboyd8863]

Travis Willingham was voicing men in uniform since he voiced Roy Mustang in the original Fullmetal Alchemist in 2003

[@elvisnilsclan151]

If the voice commands don’t work for you then why don’t you turn it off? Binary domain is a criminally underrated gem

[@Artemas_16]

Bayonetta

[@BlinkyLass]

Would be nice if you could turn on subtitles so in-game lines are more comprehensible.

[@ruiptaurus33]

love this game

[@rentaro2354]

here's one scene you forgot Bo is basically a knockoff version of Coal Train from Gears of War Dan is a buff version of Adam Sandler from Eight Crazy Nights and Rachel is a younger version of M from James Bond

[@reggieloaiza7782]

Great video as always and I was expecting you to do binary domain, and for the next one I choose dead space 2 (but something tells me it will be bayoneta

[@MySplatterhouse]

Such an underrated gem rite here, I love this game.

[@RobertDH]

I never finished the game and I remembered that I thought how long is this game anyway, not a good sign for the funfactor. I think the biggest problem was nothing but shooting almost the hole game.

[@night1952]

This game came out too soon. If the voice commands actually worked it would have been awesome, and even on it's own it's a really solid shooter with great caracters.

[@Gamer1288]

17:22 Rachel's one expression is pissed off.

[@Superschokokeks]

yes, Dart, you are on a list somewhere :D :D :D

[@danielthomas7193]

"Damn when did hoes get standards." Pretty sure I said something similar to my ex.

[@adaptorperish1322]

Liked for Laura Bailey's voice. Can never get enough of that.

[@KaiTenSatsuma]

This is a surprisingly good game.

[@sephiroth115yt8]

That should make part two for the game I want to see more from it

[@aurancrash4654]

Bayonetta please

[@louixsparkes2480]

I miss this game . It was far from perfect but I had a great time with it

[@escapefromtibet2530]

Ayyy. One of my old favs

[@dermsta1623]

Deadspace 2, come on give it to us.

[@Gamer1288]

Would Hollow Children actually age? That seems like a way to discover them quickly. People tend to notice if you don't age or if you are an old man who stayed the same age for 30 years.

[@stapuft]

HOLY SHIT YOU ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT "stairwell thoughts" ARE!! lol i have no idea why im so surprised by that....

[@Skirish]

Dead Space has become quite popular again recently on youtube so I think it's fitting to do that first :)

[@NeptuneJr]

bayonetta

[@rentaro2354]

here is one sin that you forgot about Bo is just a knockoff version of Cole train from Gears of War Dan is a buff variation of Adam Sandler from Eight Crazy Nights and Rachel is a younger version of M from James Bond

[@morecringe89]

lol Kingdom of Spain LOL. That made my night

[@hemidas]

17:50 Actually _Armitage III_ already did that in 1995.

[@salamanceboy]

The guy at around 45 seconds in reminds me of Sam from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

[@Noble6233]

Surprise anybody remember this game one of my guilty pleasures games.

[@takuansoho5836]

Is 'l'esprit de l'escalier" an actual real expression ? Because I'm french since 34 years and I've never heard that expression... Meh, the more you know. But I'll check nonetheless ! Nice sinning as always, by the way ^^

[@GenocidalSquid]

I like Cain here. Sure, I might've not been able to play the game, but goddamn do I like Cain's character design.

[@Kiddtacular_ow]

I hear Troy’s name almost every video. We should just make that an automatic 10 sins

[@stapuft]

um.....what do you mean the voice doesn't work? i have a pretty noticeable southern drawl, and this game never once misheard me, after the initial training.

[@chaoticmat1739]

It's about time we get that Dead space episode, Dart

[@SNSReaper]

It's so weird seeing this game get shade, this game would sell like hotcakes in the last few years considering we've been in a drought of single player experiences that try to present anything philosophical. A remaster of this dropping around but before cyberpunk 2077 would have probably funded a sequel.

[@Gut7891]

I watched the entire stream. Now it´s time to see the results! And you are on a list somewhere, Twitch is our witness. Try Bayonetta next, you´re gonna love it´s over the top action and plot.

[@jonathangarcia5279]

12:11 I understood that reference.
