Let's Play The Darkness - Late to the Party

[@kupojoejoe7971]

The Darkness: Your power is in the darkness. Johnny: OH MY GOD, I KNOW!!! Johnny continues to dance in the light getting shot. I'm not so sure you do know, Johnny.

[@LOSTBHOY88]

If there’s any game worthy of a remake, this is it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@leerussell9954]

Sack a remake it needs another sequel!

[@LOSTBHOY88]

Lee Russell- a sequel that wasn’t trash which I thought the darkness 2 was unfortunately... I’d settle for a RE2-style remake tho with proper blood and gore effects 👌🏻

[@leerussell9954]

@@LOSTBHOY88 I loved darkness 2, different strokes

[@LOSTBHOY88]

Lee Russell- well trash was maybe a bit strong of a word to use... disappointing maybe. The art style and general feel of it was a lot different to the dark and grimey feel of the first game. But we can both agree that any sort of sequel would be much appreciated 👍🏻

[@GeminiTasiri]

@@leerussell9954 Same here, also loved The Darkness 2, even just the art direction in that one is so much better

[@epizoan_]

You should do riddick: escape from butchers bay one day. I miss the game engine starbreeze used. It was clunky to control and the visuals were dark but the games stood out and were interesting to explore

[@thecastawaydc]

Good game, certainly better than The Cornicles of Riddick film, all though how they give him eye shine was a tad disappointing.

[@UberCoolBen]

I loved that game and the sequel.

[@Chaos-bq6mc]

Y'know a lot of questions at the beginning would've been quickly answered if you had just listened to the dialogue

[@endybendy5699]

This episode summed up: "I wasn't sure if I could or not"

[@Smiffyflix]

How many tickles does it take to make a mafia man laugh? Ten Tickles

[@UberCoolBen]

The Darkness was awesome at the time. Not many interactive, pseudo-immersive sim games releasing at the time (especially on PS3). 14 year old me loved it, although I do have conniptions about getting the 100% trophy. All those subway missions and the WWI hellscape, eek.

[@theDegausser]

The opening sequence reminds me of a first person Crazy Taxi for some reason.... oh god now I really want a new Crazy Taxi game now... I absolutely loved Crazy Taxi on the Dreamcast of all consoles... 😢 I miss the Dreamcast so much, such an amazing console with some amazing games...

[@cpard2d2]

This is probably my favourite FPS, the powers were mind blowing back then and the story got me into the comics. I also like how immersive this is, only the metro series gave me a similar feel.

[@samuelduckwall1418]

This was one of my favorite games when it first came out. So it’s cool seeing Johnny play it for the first time. Thank you for another great late to the party 🙂 Much love from Colorado 💙

[@Ninasanz83]

Oh! Nice throwback. I enjoyed this game.

[@Terrydactyl]

Johnny really loves looking at the floor

[@KyleS.1987]

Surprisingly easy to do without even noticing. When I asked my friend how to get better at Overwatch a while back, the first thing he said was, 'Stop looking at the floor.'

[@benkt5657]

He does it in Dark Souls as well.

[@johnd8726]

He's a game journalist, I'd be surprised if he wasn't strafing around looking at floor shooting aimlessly.

[@cliffevans2315]

"Bill Skins Fifth" in the paper vending machines in Silent Hill is a reference to The Silence of the Lambs - the same tabloid front page appears on the FBI's evidence board in the film. And speaking as a New Yorker, Ian's New York accent was...about as good as my Midlands accent, so let's call it a draw.

[@KyleS.1987]

Johnny channeling his inner edgelord and just shooting every NPC.

[@DropkickRemy]

This was a great game. The sequel was very good too. A new one would be much appreciated.

[@MsKDvlog]

Dropkick Matthews Keep saying it but would love a third one with Jackie’s daughter taking on his powers.

[@alifab7034]

Dear god that New York impression!

[@benkt5657]

No wonder it took so bloody long to load, it's a 13 shot shotgun!

[@VidBrowser32]

As much as I enjoyed this episode I came close to yelling "shoot the fucking lights out Johnny!" at my monitor more than once.

[@orr-man5065]

For an early 360 game, The Darkness still looks really good. I have fond memories of this game

[@adyl4fs590]

Yes, a game that tickled my dark heart. It had a fair few clunky bits, like managing the minions was a pain in the arse sometimes (or I was sloppy), but really did enjoy it. The phone numbers you could find everywhere and ring were quite cool, funny side stories. And I could listen to Mike Patton talk darkness all day. Never picked up the odd sounding sequel. Might not be so much fun to replay this in 2019, but... ccomme, plaayyy with the darknnessss, Jaaaacckieee. Jaaaacckieee.

[@MsKDvlog]

AdyLfs You NEED to play the sequel. Loved it! Great story and perfect length for replaying in new game +. The Darklings are much better and you have a specific one which talks. It has a sad bit too. :(

[@droptozro]

"Talk-tacles".... now I'm never getting that out of my head.

[@speedy316uk]

I bought this off a friend for £20 and I loved it, so glad you are playing the Darkness

[@imajica1863]

What really threw me when I started playing this game was that Jackie doesn't reload his guns, and instead will drop them and pull out new ones. Cuz he's so badass, and it looks cooler that way. As someone who obsessively clicks reload every time I drop an enemy, after the halfway point in the game I began to keep running out of guns, and really struggled.

[@everettst.claire870]

Garth Ennis is the creator/writer of the Darkness comic. I actually like The Darkness 2 much better. More consistent gameplay and much better graphics

[@bw2707]

Not only does Johnny have sausage nav, but he's got a touch of the sausage aim too

[@thecastawaydc]

The fact that the Rasmus released "In the Shadows" in 2003 makes me fairly confident that it wasn't about this game. Unless they were time travellers, but I expect they'd of had more success if they were.

[@UberCoolBen]

The CastAway DC You know what also released in 2003? The Darkness' debut album Permission to Land. Coincidence? I think not!

[@MisterDusterix]

Ahh, used to love this.

[@nightcatarts]

Wow, what a Johnnycidal maniac. I didn't know you had it in you.

[@Tuikkal]

One of the better fps games. Open areas with collectables and optional side quests.

[@notoriousbmc1]

Police Cop: ''You're accused of the brutal murder of Frank Rottenberg. Ya did it didn'cha why...why did you do it?'' Johnny: ''I wasn't sure whether I could or not.'' PC: *sighs* ''...That was your answer for your uncle and the twenty other goons, Johnny...you sticking with that story?'' Johnny: ''Yes...yes I am.''

[@chloe.imogen]

I pulled a muscle in my rib area recently and was in pain during this video due to laughing so hard. Definitely worth it tho! Wondering if you guys have considered playing Shenmue for an episode of Late to the Party?

[@SmevMev]

To be fair to Johnny, the game doesn't seem to demarcate shadowed from lit areas very clearly, which would make keeping to the dark a bit of a faff; sort of like trying to play a stealth game without vision cones.

[@NecRomant1c]

Halfway through the episode I realized that Jackie isn't wearing a hood.

[@bikerdykefrommars7092]

Did he ever figure out you could impale enemies with LB?

[@joeldfisher]

who let Tommy Wiseau star in a video game?

[@arrow5599]

you made this game look alot harder than it is . just got a cheap xbox 360 off ebay and played thru it last week

[@zacharycappoli623]

I think the word you were searching for is " ice-burgaler" :3

[@matwetton]

Ian was right, Mike Patton voiced the zombies in left4dead

[@LonelymoonChronicles]

Johnny is such a saucy pickle.

[@mrtrashy7787]

we just need to get through the subway

[@MsKDvlog]

Johnny complaining about the aiming whilst loving Shadows of the Damned. 🤷🏻‍♀️😆

[@AndieIsACookie]

I got drunk in between starting this video and finishing it, and while I'm not saying it's essential for watching, I am saying it made me laugh more at the terrible jokes, naming no names :P

[@nathanjones8475]

Never played the first one. Loved the second one

[@dustinb8781]

The openness of it reminds me a bit of deus ex. I never owned this game but played the demo a ton on ps3.

[@Jillbles]

How did I not know Mike Patton had voiced a video game?!

[@TheB]

He not only voiced The Darkness in both Darkness games, but as Ian alluded to yes indeed did the voices for the zombies in Left 4 Dead series AND was the Anger Sphere in Portal.

[@Jillbles]

I think I did know about the Portal sphere, but the rest comes as a complete and happy surprise. So cool.

[@traviscollura2440]

7:59 Wait… You mean to tell me guns can kill people?!

[@kendoyle]

A chilli burglar sounds spicy

[@langdon7x]

"Darkness will fall" Alright Venom relaxe.

[@gast128]

Pity that this one isn't on PC / Steam.

[@theDegausser]

Frank may not be your uncle, but Bob is! Sorry I couldn’t help myself...

[@AyZeD]

This was a good game man one of my first on the ps3, it's a shame they fucked up the sequel

[@Kalypso_Belador]

That's the most gothic emo mafia man I've ever seen.

[@XxAeroxXable]

Did you know you can inhale under water?

[@AngelBeatYunara]

You need nice gun food!

[@arrow5599]

i might prefer it to the 2nd one

[@michaelcalderon3077]

Huh I'm new hear I like it

[@fivecrows1214]

Should have increased your sensitivity to make you aim smoother.

[@niloyck2540]

GG

[@ChrisWTube]

Problems with aim sensitivity, acceleration and assist? Adjust them in the options.

[@jakey3906]

Wow

[@Sid_Vintage]

My favorite childhood game, BTW I'm only @15

[@nescirian]

actually everyone who is watching this is watching this in the future

[@davesodyssey8130]

The guy playing is so annoying, hate when people try to blame the game when they just suck.

[@bojennings7965]

Your the best keep it up wanna play fortnite

[@Jillbles]

Ian. Ian, I'm from New Jersey. An hour away from NYC. I've worked in NYC. I have family in NYC. I am personally offended by that impression. (I mean, not really. But please never do it again.)

[@Jillbles]

And I had a pager. In 2000, I had a pager. Because my boyfriend worked nights, and didn't have a driver's license. I mean, yeah, we smoked a ton of pot. But we weren't dealers.

[@OptionalZero]

I am SO glad I never ever tried to play this. Looked dumb to me then, and does even more so now.
