[@HighwaterTrousers]

Whoaaaa! I can't believe they got Francisco Goya to do a title card for them! I hope he enjoys the exposure bucks! What an up and coming artist!

[@CarlosTowersIsNotFamous]

i hear he's doing a gofundme he has serious auditory issues

[@HRDSalami654]

Striking while the iron is absolute zero with that one.

[@EvtheNev]

Check out his snapchat for epic pranks yo!

[@bennymountain1]

Anyone got a link to his Patreon?

[@LuckeeStrikee]

Does he also do hentai like most of their other artists? I'm kinda interested.

[@fudgegorilla]

"Woolie Devouring His Breakfast" by Patrisco Boya (1980-2023)

[@posteriorpepperoni]

2023? that`s very optimistic

[@mitchelldrake6069]

That doesn't look like a morning steak.

[@huntsworthdoom]

There's a lot to take in here.

[@MrKuemmelbrot]

We might not make it to 2023 if things keep escalating. I wish I could go back to the time you wrote that comment.

[@OrlyYarlyOwl]

Oh look, another Telltale-style game that will like all the other ones fall flat on it's face with no actual gameplay and choices that won't matter. *Choose your class window appears* ... alright, I'm interested.

[@HRDSalami654]

Despite their level of jank, somehow Focus Home does these games better than some of their bigger budget counterparts.

[@jaxelt1]

RIGHT?

[@-hyphen-21]

Choose your class: Hustle Loyalty Respect

[@Infernal460]

-Hyphen- *Select Loyalty*

[@Jirekianu]

This is some 90s sub-minimum wage hentai VA level of voice work.

[@Famygdala]

Jirekianu That was...descriptive. Not wrong though.

[@IL_801]

Accurate.

[@FrapsPlusBoredom]

With sharper chins, which is saying something when we're talking about anime.

[@severteran9897]

Literally not even wrong.

[@k.constantine]

Much prefer that style of VA to the overly polished stuff in AAA games.

[@goodvillain1015]

Donte's Inferno looks different than I remember.

[@scientificbrony]

Goodvillain 101 it's the hd remake

[@HellecticMojo]

FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKK YOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU BLARRRGHarglglglgle

[@M7S4I5L8V2A]

HellecticMojo I thought DmC wasn't until next year

[@Firestar4041]

HellecticMojo Wrong Dante bro! :V The dude that was trying to cosplay as Kratos! :U

[@HellecticMojo]

hence Donte. People do hate on that game too much though

[@Kenpachi_Ramasama]

One of these days, Pat and Woolie will LP Trauma Team. *BUT TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY*

[@Jirekianu]

I have never had a game's character design be so universally ugly it's repelling me like this before. Holy shit.

[@GenerationWest]

Big heaving bozonga yabbos in a corset go UP Voice acting quality, visual and those corseted bozonga yabbos go DOWN

[@crazyinsane500]

A man with mommy issues who also works as a special agent. Accents aside, is this just a less funny Archer?

[@defonoteleazar4998]

Oh god, you’re right

[@r3volv3r50]

So would you say he's in an area of high risk?

[@CheetahsArePrettyCool]

♪DAAAANGER ZONE♫

[@encure]

cant open a rusty door, gets a rusty key doesnt use it on door 2 seconds away this is gonna be a fun one ^^

[@Cassie-q3k]

A Telltale-like with euro jank? Sounds like the perfect game for this channel.

[@SecondCitySavior6969]

Best Friends Play Rat People : The Videogame

[@TwoStarPlayers]

Got a lot of uncanny valley going on up in here

[@Toppunch7]

A new LP? Ah yes another victim in the waiting for Tokyo Mirage Sessions to claim its life...

[@clintmckee1751]

Hail to the king baby.

[@chinTF]

THE LP BODYCOUNT RISES!

[@BonnieBoestar]

The only problem with not watching TMS#FE is not knowing when it will finally end.

[@N00BSYBORG]

Tokyo Mirage Sessions demands another sacrifice. Lest we feel the wrath of the god of things nobody asked for.

[@Spaceman2921]

Another game to come and go with more views than the entirety of Mirage Sessions

[@mrfuzzyibrows]

when you have to make a decision between good old mom or the duchess with the knockers...ma lived a pretty fulfilling life with no regrets im pretty sure

[@noraunhappy]

“Science isn’t its own thing” Matt says as he hovers over the skill clearly labeled “Science” is bright yellow and black.

[@Radoh1017]

Matt and Woolie paying extra no attention to what's happening.

[@clock3001]

Lascius Kane Wait a minute, this ain't Game Grumps!?!

[@ChaosPT001]

Pretty sure that's the Best Friends Play authentic experience

[@FrapsPlusBoredom]

I think you mean usual no attention. I like at 13:49 where Matt was in the process of poking fun at the grammar mistake instead of taking the extra second required to make the word out properly.

[@bobparker465]

!Attention at Risk!

[@MrZathos]

"There is no science skill" he says, while selecting the Science skill.

[@DevonPalmer98]

That thumbnail is next level Xbox indie game

[@Flackon]

I mean, I know they are canadians that think "Europe" is just one big homogeneous chunk, but how can Matt think a dude with a name like Louis Maras de Richet is english?

[@danwood1121]

The same way he thought cars existed in the 1700s.

[@CureOptimismForHumanity]

This is the eurojankiest game I've seen in awhile. The voice acting, animation and graphics are abysmal but that class system is one of the most interesting things I've seen in awhile. I love that devs with no budget can still make ambitious games like this. I hope they stick the landing

[@shinluis]

Whenever Matt screams the "Get out of maaaa miiiind" I get bonus 10HP.

[@SteelBallRun1890]

As surprising as this is, this still isn't Dante's Inferno.

[@Griffin1171-love-you-all]

Uncanny Valley goes UP.

[@cyberninjazero5659]

Griffin1171 We reaching 90's anime level of bad dub

[@kot4311]

Woolie, stop playing every game ever, you need to sleep at some point

[@WastedPotential17]

WHAT IS DEAD MAY NEVER DIE

[@RanMouri82]

And eat breakfast.

[@pringerx5768]

Hey man. Weddings aint cheap.

[@Firestar4041]

God of BOI, broke his sleeping pattern

[@Th3SmartAlec]

kot4311 He needs an excuse to tell people to stop recommending him stuff.

[@allison9187]

Oh, I love this game! I grabbed it randomly off the store and it’s actually pretty great. I was very pleasantly surprised to see you guys playing this! I do adore you going to all the trouble to get the prybar, prying up the board, taking the key, and then not attempting to use the key on the lock you had just previously been trying to open 😂

[@ReedyRainbow]

that moment when they name drop Al-Azif and you already know exactly where this is going.

[@MattManDX1]

Cthulu?

[@ReedyRainbow]

Spoilers probably Yeah its Cthulhu. Al-Azif is a another name for the Necronomicon except in Arabic instead of Latin. At least in CoC Mythos.

[@manuelmateo3392]

Man, you guys sure love that painting.

[@RanMouri82]

I actually like it when the Best Friends play random stuff. Yes, including Her Story.

[@0rriAndroid]

Okay, that was kinda out of left field.

[@WTFisTingispingis]

Richter The D i know right

[@superapm9620]

It was so out of left field that it came from the right.

[@TheStrxggler]

So out of right that it came up from the ground and popped you in the chin.

[@ScorpioTheScorpion1503]

*KINDA?!*

[@PunisherLex]

11:36 I'm over here getting engrossed in this strange murder mystery and Woolie is talking about hype beasts of the 18th century.

[@circular7]

11:30 lol, I remember when Pat told this to woolie and now woolie tells this to Matt. Best friends confirmed for swapping intelligent thoughts.

[@jedgrahek1426]

rewatching this after playing it myself (play it, it's really quite good!), it's so funny how the only reason Matt looks around the docks at all is because Woolie had to take a piss. Truly epic piss timing Woolie

[@Who_is_Ari]

I love how they complain about how they're not gonna deal with the guy in the beginning OVER them saying that they'll send guys to deal with him. Never change, guys.

[@gomitax92]

ok matt and woolie talking in posh accents and making fun of aristocracy ... im sold on this playtrough.

[@bumblequeen3287]

The character models look like a really, really half-assed combination of Bioshock and Dishonored characters.

[@RushandSNLfan]

Head's up, production quality on an already middling series dips HARD in episode 2.

[@mastermarkus5307]

HOW!?

[@Champiness]

What corners are there left to cut

[@spinningchurro]

If the five episodes aren't already all out, then I guarantee you the game is never getting finished.

[@RushandSNLfan]

It was just Part 1 when it originally released. I'm guessing they saw episode 2 quality and NOPE'D HARD.

[@trygveplaustrum4634]

The voice acting and the visuals are hilariously abysmal. The story better be amazing, but I don't have high hopes.

[@Judgementxxx]

Trygve Plaustrum Apparently it's supposed to be pretty good. Also they made the Sherlock Holmes games and there honestly pretty good.

[@SecondCitySavior6969]

Judgementxxx you mean ukranian devs?

[@BrunoWolfMetal]

We did go trough a lot of David Cage games

[@Judgementxxx]

6349 256 There French. Big Home Interactive.

[@Flackon]

They're not that bad. The characters look weird and a bit low budget but far from abysmal

[@Egalia_1]

When is the super seducer LP?

[@Dedlok]

cbb88christian over on matt's channel.

[@ricardomilos10]

matt already did a full Lp in his chanel mate

[@mocca3633]

Matt already doing the LP in his channel with his wife, and it was hillarious 😂

[@Ubersupersloth]

*everyone is women

[@Karikaze]

Butterghost but there is no gun in that game.

[@ShoggothLord]

al-Azif (Kitab al-Azif) is the original Arabic name for Lovecraft's Necronomicon. It gets mentioned in the first three minutes. What is this game!?

[@notoverwatch6991]

Shoggoth Lord Weird corpse people looking for their Bible.

[@huntsworthdoom]

Ok, I thought al-Azif was a person, but now I'm interested in where this is going.

[@PoisonedPocky]

I read too many Nitroplus VNs. I heard Al-Azif, and immediately thought of Demonbane.

[@TheStrxggler]

*ITS THE EVIL COUNCILLLL* ....What do you mean this isn't a Kung-Pow video game?

[@luisalonso959]

DarkKnightGrave the real question is ...what's the evil council's plan?

[@makeda6530]

DarkKnightGrave *Chosen one?*

[@thestormtrooperwhocanaim496]

Maki-risu _I'm coming!_

[@BeavisSaves]

Finally, an adventure game protagonist more lame and dorky than Guybrush Threepwood. Dude even looks like he'd lose a fist fight to Guybrush.

[@4thSurviver]

Also very open about being a mama's boy.

[@Persephone01]

Now I miss Guybrush 😭

[@brainflash1]

1793? Yeah right. No way any of that style of dress or interior design comes from any earlier than 1812.

[@Samm815]

"In an alternate 1793, "

[@trygveplaustrum4634]

What the hell is this?! mu-THER...

[@makeda6530]

Trygve Plaustrum *AAAAHHHHHHHH*

[@RedBzerkr]

TELL YOUR CHILDREN NOT TO LOOK MY WAY.

[@noisetank13]

You know if the dialogue and voice acting was closer to Darkest Dungeon quality this would be a sleeper goty.

[@taumpytears]

Is this the game with the old people that have horrifying faces?

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

Guuuuuuuu it's like the first zombie you encounter in the PS1 version of Resident Evil somehow managed to finance a vanity project starring his relatives.

[@colinr0380]

"Oh mother, you and your wacky antics!!" *shakes head humouringly*

[@plaparen]

Yes just what I....wanted?

[@RadMatter_]

is that painting showing us what is lurking inside the woolie hole?

[@zachbrummett9672]

RIGENSTEIN I mean let's be honest wollie has been trying to get Cronus to come in there for a long time but he just can't deal with the gooup the bio slime not to mention the LCL

[@Teratoma..]

"This is a Telltale-like" *SIGH*

[@Abyss3223]

Your choices matter, Water that houseplant.

[@TheKrawtch]

Imagine a game that is both Telltale-like and similar to Dark Souls _Distant sound of Polygon jizzing_

[@joannawood7352]

do you know what i totally want to watch alternating from tms? whatever the fuck this game is! totally!

[@Infernal460]

Daidōji That's "life is strange" silly.

[@NeoCreo1]

Eh, the skills and abilities aspect, along with doing Sherlock scans change it up enough for me to be interested.

[@thegitgudneighborhood]

Woolie talking about Guam as if anything ever fucking happened here. - Awsm Chimera

[@GreatDarkWing0491]

Are classic 2BFP Matt and Pat LPs a thing of the past now? It seems like it's been forever since the last one.

[@parkerthomas3803]

GreatDarkWing0491 The last one was Evil Within 2. That's only because they played the first one together.

[@scientificbrony]

Yeah not particularly common

[@timmer919hep]

Dead to Rights

[@misterbackdown2889]

Parker Thomas The last one was Dead to Rights

[@SomethingsomethingWrestling]

The lack of Pat is upsetting

[@4VaultBoy]

How does Matt literally look at every skill except the most important ones.

[@TheGrayll]

You guys know what would be good? Beyond good and evil, RE5 or just mercenary in 6, Army of Two or GODDAMN YAKUZA 6!

[@balrogdahomie]

I first heard about this game from UltraGerbilLeaps video on games from his inbox. The impression I got from that was that this game is ambitious, but kind of shitty, which is 100% more interesting to me than “good”. So, I’m looking forward to this

[@SomeGuy-cn5vm]

balrogdahomie a game that's shitty because its developers were too ambitious is a million times better than a game that's shitty because its developers didn't care.

[@drewofearth6681]

SO MUCH YES ...for this video... this is gonna be hilarious. Thank you for playing it!

[@Pattyobrien3]

30:54 - I got that reference, woolie! You're a cool dude.

[@darknessvamp]

Starts to write off game as another Life is Strange/Tell Tale game with weird voice acting *Class Selection, Skill Tree and Challenges Sneak Attack, it’s super effective!* Okay I can jam with this RPG disguised as a choice matters game. Can’t wait until the inevitable rap battle with the queen where you drop sick beats for the fate of the world whilst convincing the secret shadow government to pay your mother.

[@GohanEgret]

Lord Yabbos is quite ... UPLIFTING on this fair island.

[@emile1365]

In all it's dank mystery, this looks super rad. The plot had better be amazing, given it's set up.

[@JasynSuin]

Jesus, these faces, this voice acting. This is going to be amazing, isn't it? Royal jelly is something that worker bees secrete to feed to larvae and queens. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_jelly

[@notoverwatch6991]

Zanna Matt will probably like it, lol.

[@tzera_rhuon]

I recall reading a short story where a father feeds his newborn royal jelly and the baby turns into a bee. iirc there was also a British show akin to The Twilight Zone that did an adaptation.

[@jordanetherington1922]

Woolie is right. It's super difficult to knock someone out and it's easy to accidentally kill someone or give them a concussion

[@mitchelldrake6069]

Adrien Brody?!

[@driftercarbon]

You can't claim this doesn't have a unique and interesting art style. It looks like everything and everyone has been stepped on a few times. But in charming way.

[@Infinite6465]

I will be so mad if Sarah is inside of Emily (or whatever the duchess' name is). She said "some say there are two women in me". I WILL BE SO MAD

[@erikfritz8538]

Woolie going over a skill tree is giving me KOTOR flashbacks, in a bad way.

[@DUES_EX]

I wouldve used the rusty key on the gate

[@chillworksdev4145]

OOOOOOOOOO this looks so fascinating! Especially the class and skill system in a dialogue-heavy game such as this. As a DM for mystery games, this looks like an excellent way to handle giving players different abilities in conversation and investigation. Can''t wait for more!

[@notoverwatch6991]

Brandon Kirkley But... RPG's do this too?

[@bigbossfan6412]

Whats up with the main characters voice

[@ufusnake]

It's bad

[@scar6822]

A new playthrough that isn't Yakuza 6. What's taking you guys so long to play Yakuza 6?

[@connorp3030]

Scar pat is trying to finish 5 forst

[@scar6822]

connorp3030 is he trying to 100% the game?

[@darrianweathington1923]

I want to talk to the butler and he just says "It will be very painful... for you"

[@DarthCuddlefluff]

The Al Azif is the original Arab written Necronomicon by the Mad Arab Abdul Alhazred.

[@WellManneredNate]

"Woolie Eating That Gross Cheesecake" (Francisco Goya, c. 1823)

[@despadas]

we need a proper Street Fighter/The Council crossover now

[@WastedPotential17]

I can't wait for someone to upload Professor Xavier's Laudanum Challenge

[@RedBloodGAMING]

no do a full LP though.

[@Ubersupersloth]

8:07 Eh, they’re not THAT big. Then again, I’ve recently come off of watching the Tokyo Mirage Sessions LP so maybe Tsubasa and Maiko have skewed my perspective somewhat.

[@Flackon]

Omg, the Best Friends playing The Council? I would have not expected that! Awaiting Pat's comments about how the characters look...

[@JeedyJay]

This character animation is like Mass Effect 1, but with more weirdly-shaped faces.

[@inactive9544]

this about to be a clean 12-13 parts

[@moongoose8768]

Five. Says it at the top.

[@inactive9544]

aye it didnt say all that when i clicked on the video 13 mins out

[@baphometsvoice6271]

Well this was unexpected. This is a pretty neat game that does some new things for its type. It isn't perfect by any means, but its pretty solid.

[@Go4TheKneez]

p5 second gig when?

[@percivaldotburgers]

Kinda wish you hadn't wrote the total number of parts to this, just so I could hope it lasts forever. This is a true gift and I want it to keep on giving

[@sherwinronin]

that Goya painting is my favourite painting of all time

[@Thomas-sv2ez]

Is this Paris: Become Auman by French developer Mavis Bage?

[@TheGazza911]

Who here thought that painting of Kronos was gonna be edited to look like Pat or Woolie?

[@mr.bluesky4130]

Can we all agree that the character models looks a million times better in the soft golden lighting of the pause menu?

[@Steelmorrigan]

"where is Al azif?!" *Lovecraft lore approaches*

[@tunykun]

Do you guys remember when this channel was Two Best Friends? We need to research some hidden classic that Matt and Pat can play together.

[@trueseraphim]

Tuny kun read in a random comment somewhere that they're having problems. Grain of salt and all.

[@trueseraphim]

Turk dont want to put blame on anyone but whose idea was that?

[@dereknosbisch733]

Dino Crisis?

[@clock3001]

The duchess is throwing down some Lulu's chestbeefers game.

[@thegitgudneighborhood]

I didn't know this game took place in Hogwarts. - Awsm Chimera

[@SomethingsomethingWrestling]

*sigh* are we ever going to get another full Two best friends play lp?

[@arempy5836]

Joseph Murphy what are you talking about

[@trueseraphim]

I assume they mean Matt and Pat.

[@Firestar4041]

Also maybe a full lets play meal, rather than just a short 2 to 5 parter snack.

[@sliskinalpha]

Joseph Murphy You do realize that the reason they haven't been able is because Pat's been streaming, right? Like he said that he won't do an LP on RE:RE2 but will be streaming it on his channel. I'd go ask Pat on his streams or Twitter rather then here tbh.

[@namegoeshere5220]

Joseph Murphy It's almost like the three of them have lifes with different things going on that means sometimes stuff doesn't always work out and thus one or the other takes the open spot. Plus, a week or two without a Matt and Pat full new LP, oh. The horror. The Lovecraftian indescribable horror. How will we ever survive? I'm so scared, guys. So very worried. It's not like we don't hear this "is the two best friends a thing of the past" question in the comment section every couple of months for the last couple years, and it was even already commented on above with Woolie commenting. God, how much we heard it when Woolie and Liam became full time years ago. How will we survive? Guess we'll all just die? 🤷‍♂️

[@nono9543]

*Raises eyebrow* Que?

[@colinr0380]

"I must say that you are looking whimsically banal tonight. Hanging around the dockside seems to suit you Countess!"

[@someonesomething1600]

I don't know how to really feel about this but kinda hyped for it!

[@hugehuman1]

I gotta say, at first I was confused and unimpressed, but as soon as the RPG elements came into play, I got into it.

[@Rick586]

The dread menus have returned! Just wait for it: Part 3 will be nothing but staring at that skill tree.

[@Digsidian]

Oh god this dialogue hurts.

[@jaymoneyyy110]

Woolie continues to swoon over Helen Meerkat

[@gwynethcloa6694]

That whole dialogue with Emily was a whole Spoonful of foreshadowing
