Road 96: Mile 0 - What Path Will You Take? | The Completionist

[@Podcir]

I know you can only do this many episodes of The Completionist at certain time but man, do I wish You did more of games like this one! Thanks for that! :)

[@buchiklop110]

9:27 "Or maybe a longtime friendship is fractured because of different beliefs, and you end up going your own separate ways." You can feel the truth behind Jirard's delivery on that one.

[@foristrothbert568]

Yes, because Jirard has a habit of throwing friends under the bus the moment their politics don't align with his because he'd rather make more money and be a shill for big corporations than be a true friend to someone.

I instantly recognized Kaito from the mobile rhythm game I used to play when I was younger called Lost In Harmony. Can't believe these games are made by the same devs.

[@NavajoNinja]

Just thought of 4th grade in the '90's and reading those, "chose your own adventure books" with 10 different bookmarks in it. 😊

[@larkprof]

As a fan of the og road 96. This game felt half baked. None of the choices I made mattered to the narrative besides maybe a few lines of dialog. Choices didn't unlock new events or paths. As bad as it sounds, the most fun I had with this game was the ending, where it felt like I was going on a road 96 road trip again. Road 96 was an awesome game, full of discovery and wonder, mixed hard choices depending on the play through. Mile 0 might as well been a cut scene, because that's what it mostly felt like. A playable cutscene. I couldn't even interact with half the stuff I wanted to in Whitesands. The music sections were hit and miss, they were a total nightmare to play with a keyboard so I opted for the ever reliable 360 wired controller and they felt alright, but totally unnecessary. two outa five

[@TheWolfGuardians]

All of my knowledge of this game comes from The Midnight writing "Land Locked Heart" for it and thats all the reason I need to check it out. Such an underrated band.

[@IamaPERSON]

Are you talking about the same Midnight that has a Synthwave feel to it?

[@TheWolfGuardians]

@@IamaPERSON yes!

[@IamaPERSON]

@@TheWolfGuardians sweet! What’s your favorite song by them? I love Vampires, but America 2 is also good!

[@TheWolfGuardians]

@@IamaPERSON Sunset by far. But so many of their songs are good. Vampires, Gloria, Heartbeat, I could go on lol

[@jakerigsby2008]

Meeting you at what is likely going to be the last E3, maybe ever, was one of the chance moments for me. It really solidified my convictions of being a game developer, and drives me to want to make content with an impact.

[@brettrogames]

I played the first Road 96 earlier this year on Game Pass, and was pleasantly surprised. The S-Rank achievements in Mile 0 put me off from Day 1 buy, but based on this video I'll keep it on my wish list. Hopefully it makes it to Game Pass as well.

[@ty_sylicus]

Certainly seems interesting and the dream sequences look fun.

[@squeethemog213]

I saw this one steam and fell in love with it. It looked so fun and hooked me. Thanks for covering it man :D

Anyone else notice The Completionist logo in the background at 8:28? Nice Easter egg there!

[@TheWcasey]

Loved this. Hope to see more revies even if they aren't completed just knowing about whats good, what your currently playing, and your feelings on the games are always great to hear.

[@MovieMan1710]

I'll give this game a try when I got the extra cash. Looks right up my alley

[@daveg5088]

I would likely have never found this game on my own. Now, I can't wait to play it. Thank you.

[@Volti-Vagra]

8:08 "good thing i dont have a fear of heights" man i used to be pretty bad about heights that seemed risky, got pretty good (Even did a few small "cliff" jumps) now i see people in a hot air balloon or jumper plane on snap and it feels like my brains trying to recoil/pull away (but able to sit there pretty unfazed) i will never understand how my brain works i didnt take a bad spill or anything, so why did it suddenly pentuple down (a plus one on quadruple just to exaggerate a touch)

Hey Jirard! You're a badass and i appreciate all of the hard work and determination you put into being who you are. You've got me through a lot of hard times. Probably won't be seen, that's fine. I'm a nobody who will probably never speak to you in person. Just wanted to say thanks.

[@Kalviberry]

This looks like a very thoughtful game. While I know this was sponsored, thank you all the same for sharing ❤

[@JakeGottfriedStudios]

Honeslty Jirard I think your such a great reviewer you don't have to complete games for reviews anymore, people will watch for you, and know what you think.

[@bee-beargaming]

Sounds like a really interesting game I'm surprised u didn't 100% complete it Jirard

When I was 14 talking with my friends we talked about video games and nothing else.

[@Indie-A-tom]

Nice. The story seens to be really good.

[@gmg9010]

Do you remember when you were 14 and hung out with your friends no I do not because if I had friends they had to go through the crazy Christian parents filter and by the end of that I didn’t have any friends because something was always wrong with them or their parents even if they were Christian themselves.

[@Hugh_Jannis]

Great channel. You should do a episode on Disco Elysium. Everyone and their Mom seems to love that game except me. Maybe you'd be able to change my mind.

[@LightningSword13]

I’m seeing the sponsor pushes for this game recently and the game doesn’t look that good. The reviews have been mixed because apparently it’s nothing like the first game. Wasn’t expecting a video essay for this haha. I don’t think I’ll try this out, but maybe this could be fun for other people.

[@Roxiusas]

Joke's on you, I had almost no friends for my whole life, so I definitely can't relate to that opening speech hahah, I did rather enjoy the first Road 96 though, fully beat it, so this could be an interesting game to check out.

Just a tip for... anyone basically. Just play Road 96, R96 Mile 0 is basically a bunch of pretty bad minigames with overall horrendous writing. Reviews also reflect this with game being overall fairly disliked.

These propaganda games are just so tiresome and formulaic. For all the talk of diversity and inclusion, there is only one ideology that ever gets pushed in games. Shockingly, it's the dominant ideology in power, almost as if all these stories about "fighting the man" are made to convince people that they too are fighting "the man" when comically they're just foot soldiers for the establishment.
