The Story of Blade Runner

[@ExarchGaming]

Interesting bit of Trivia for you guys, the girl who plays the little girl Lucy, is the actress Pauly Perrette, who plays Abby on NCIS (the goth forensic tech)

[@leeweesquee]

She sounded familiar, also the VA for Steel is Cuddy from House

"Just one, but make it a good one." Is burned into my brain.

[@Doomtrain609]

blade runner ending still my favorite, its clean, ruthless, and straight with the game lore

"A portrait of the sleep deprived" Every time you try to make him go to bed lol

[@jonesy279]

I have fond memories of the Christmas that I got a PC box set that had this, Wing Commander Prophecy and Dune 2000. That was an absolute banger trio!

[@wafu6058]

I think this series is a good idea, there's lots of old games I probably wouldn't enjoy playing for a variety of reasons, but I am deeply fascinated by all the stories untold and mysteries unexplored because of me not ever playing these, so this is a great bridge to close that gap. Keep up the work!

[@TerranPersoid725]

Never would’ve known that this game existed if it weren’t for you. Thank you!

[@rocketrooster2410]

The poor Dog. No happy end for him. 😥

18:02 Cameo of Westwood's "Command & conquer: Red Alert" as an arcade game at Hysteria Hall

[@saschaberger3212]

Randomated enemies for every new playthrough is really cool

[@tazzidoe7083]

I’m absolutely loving this Retro Vault Series!! ❤

[@askmeanything6590]

Your explanations are incredible

[@Jesterzero138]

I remember playing it back all those years ago. My English weren't completely fluent, so I think a lot of subtleties went over my head back then.

[@SolidLMG]

baited me hard with this, thought it was two videos in a day, look forward to next week then!

[@mayonaise000]

The only canon ending is the one where the dog lives, surely.

[@lukebarroso449]

I didn't know ben shapiro was a blade runner!

[@kenneththomas415]

😂😂😂

[@chrisb4131]

And Shapiro's captain looks like fat Adam Carolla.

[@robbie_rohm88]

It kinda makes sense actually.

[@lukebarroso449]

@@robbie_rohm88 let's say hypothetically, the replicants were human...

[@BestCupid]

​@@lukebarroso449I read that in his voice and it hurts my head

[@will4673]

If anything needs a REMAKE this is the game !

[@ChrisDanceMusic]

Quite a few endings for an older game. Point and click games arent my cup of tea but i enjoy your videos

[@AlexanderLohachitranont]

I always regretted that I didn't finish this game when I played it. Turned out I already 1/3rd of the way through from watching this vid! 😊

[@scootza1]

It's really nice to see Sir Dan as part of that background

[@Icanhasacookie]

You’re awesome as always, Harry!

Here's the for and against McCoy being a Replicant: For: * The picture (with a counter in 'against' in a sec). * Guzza says he's seen incept data for McCoy. * Tyrell addresses McCoy in the same way he does all other Replicants. * Clovis can spare McCoy if he doesn't go all antagonistic. No reason to do that at the end unless he really is a Replicant. * McCoy can be shot several times and survive. * He can take scorpion venom and survive (although see counters in a sec). * Gaff's entire script seems to hint it: "If you retire a human, your life is over. Remember that." Except a) You can kill humans and survive in this game and b) Read it as 'if you retire AS a human your life is over...' which, of course, retirement is a euphemism for Replicants being executed. The hint is if McCoy pretends to be human, he will be Retired anyway. The other hint is how Gaff compliments him on doing a "man's work" i.e. 'the work of a man' because he is NOT a man. Against: * The picture proves nothing as on the same picture you can scan the fire and it shows an oddity that McCoy is missing. So even if McCoy IS a Rep, the picture can't prove it, and it is the biggest evidence to indicate it. * Mia & Murray have seeningly known McCoy for some time. Too long for him to be a Nexus 6. Seeing as he is a new Blade Runner, if he is a Nexus 6, he only exists to infiltrate the LAPD and he seems to have had too much of a personal life before being a Blade Runner for that. * If Deckard is also a Rep, which he might not be, it narrows McCoy's chances as Tyrell wouldn't risk two Nexus 6's infiltrating the LAPD as discovery of one would likely lead to discovery of both. * Guzza is a liar and his testimony is going to be suspect. He's told this off of Clovis who also has reason to lie. Two liars don't make a truth. * Whilst McCoy can take some scorpion venom, he can still die by being stung. * He shows sufficient emotional response to be a human. I think he isn't as the picture is forged but I suppose all it proves is that McCoy isn't part of the Moonbus Massacre and might be from a different stock. I just don't buy it. Deckard however is totes a Rep.

[@DeltaGammaKilo]

In the original game, the replicant randomizer also includes McCoy. In some playthroughs he will be, in others he won't be.

[@Oriana_leung]

Love he game's animation style, and the backgrounds💖.

[@franciskapapa2381]

Amazing

[@ricey23]

I literally just watched the movie. Are you a psychic?

[@conq1273]

Right on time bby

[@daphne8406]

One of my (and my siblings) teenage years favourite games 🤩 We tried to get all the endings 😝 You can also drive off with Lucy in the ground car instead of Dectora and you can try and gather all the replicants you have encountered so all of them will fly off with you in the moonbus (Lucy, Sadik, Dectora, Clovis and Zuben)

[@alexh3464]

Omfg I legit thought I was the only person who played this 😂

[@GamingByBaka]

28:00 Dodge Viper lol

[@0I0II000]

I remember when I had the 2-disc C&C Red Alert, there was a trailer for this game at the time (1998) and a Trailer for the Dune RTS game. I was never able to find a CD copy of this game despite how much I wanted to play it at the time. It was in the same gameplay style as the original Resident Evil games on PlayStation.

[@haydencp1]

Could you do talos principle explained please? So much interesting lore. Also talos 2 will be out soon

[@foxmind2490]

Why does Earth look larger while standing on Mars vs. the Moon?

[@Enwhycee]

Any chance you do grim fendango ?

[@BleedForTheWorld]

Blade Runner, one of the finest pieces of anti-capitalist media ever produced whose production was inspired by Philip K Dick 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?'.

[@GameFuMaster]

It's anti-corpo, which effectively functions as a state. It's more anti-state than anything, just look at LA today and you'll see the effects.

[@BleedForTheWorld]

@@GameFuMaster yet again I hear that it's anti-state when private property exists within its universe. In order to protect private property, you need an enforcement agency that protects its assets and that's called a state with private property laws. The corporations within the BR universe are also run by a hyper capitalist mode of production in mind akin to the industrial revolution where "people" (the replicants) are used as institutionalized slave labor. It's dystopian in not only as it is regressive in many ways but also as a society which values the lives of people so little they would be raised like artificial livestock for the benefit of a few.

[@GameFuMaster]

@@BleedForTheWorld wow if you put that description into google, it'd probably return feudalism

[@leeweesquee]

Any ending where the dog survives?

[@jiltedarts]

A humble request, please have a look at a game called "realms of the haunting" it is a get that gets almost no interest and yet the story is really good also so is the game play.

[@kingcoto9123]

hey harry! can i make a suggestion? could you make a video on the xcom storyline?

[@dannywhite9975]

10:38 r u entirely sure sir?

[@HeavenShallTremble]

Harry, what are you doing with your cursor at around 20:15? Explain yourself. O.-

[@mongooseunleashed]

I played this so much as a kid. I remember they said Mccoy was a replicant in the game.

[@KageNoTenshi]

Randoming the game objective is great for replayability

[@chinaman1]

Why is McCoy's apartment look like deckard's?

[@ryanspengler4877]

Still waiting on the patch for the Switch version that makes it playable. ..unless i missed it already...

You should covor eternal darkness if you ever get a chance

[@Zdiot]

I don’t think he was a replicant at all Remember animals are extinct so it probably cannot kill anyone
