Me, when Callisto Protocol was revealed: Oh cool! It’s “definitely not Dead Space,” at a new company. Seems fun. Me, playing Callisto Protocol: Oh no, it’s definitely NOT Dead Space.

[@kapkant6197]

So fun fact about Glen Schofield and his relationship with crunch. His previous studio Sledgehammer games was known as probably the worst of the three main CoD studios to work at, Glassdoor and employee interviews described a "brutal" and "unwelcoming" environment where devs were treated poorly by the higher ups at the studio, with some describing it as bullying at times. So any attempts by him to deflect by saying things like "It's just this one time guys no for real honest" are very clearly not true in the slightest. In 2018 Glen and fellow head Michael "don't ask me to balance Advanced Warfare" Condrey left the studio and recent reviews mysteriously talk about heavy improvements to studio culture, with many employees recommending working there suddenly. Funny little coincidence. Also in a less serious example CoD: WWII's multiplayer magically stopped being the worst thing designed by a human once they left.

Evil Within 2 was a sequel that on paper shouldn’t have been as good as it was. A sequel to a middling game, open world concept for a horror game, and a director that had never directed a full game title before. That’s normally a recipe for disaster, yet it wasn’t. The story was good, the bosses memorable, and the open world set pieces felt fun and rewarding to traverse.

Def felt the Homecoming vibes, though Homecoming was at least slightly scary unlike this. Personally? This was more of a 'Back 4 Blood' situation; where the team that separated to 'remake THEIR game' turns out to be a tiny part that didn't work on the major game mechanics, and showed off how the Valve team was really responsible for making Left 4 Dead what it was. Also, how do you put your game in a body horror setting and NOT use creative character design for your body horror enemies? Blah.

[@chuckleshelicopterwigwamjo6305]

The save system at launch was the worst I have ever seen. I was exploring an area early on and couldn't tell which was a side room and which was progress. I stumbled into the progress room which had a locked door, a few zombies and a guy whose implant I had to take. I killed the enemies and then went to the side area, only to come back to the main path and find the implant was now bugged and I couldn't pull it out of the guy's corpse. So I saved and loaded that save, only to discover my manual fucking save only saved my checkpoint from initially walking into the progress room and none of the side progress I had made. It only saved me doing anything if it was before a main progress checkpoint, and manually saving did literally nothing.

[@andrewlavigne44]

​@@pickledparsleyparty All of the bosses feel like they're from a mid-low budget PS2 game like The Thing or Run Like Hell. Just kind of in awe to see them in such a big budget AAA release. When you fight Captain Farris the first time, the cutscene before explicitly shows you shooting him and it pinging off of him, so I figured "okay, either melee him or this is a RE5 Wesker thing where I just need to dodge for a set time." I try to melee him, he goes into a cutscene where he grabs the baton and throws me. Try it again, same thing. Okay, fine, I need to dodge. I dodge for like 5 minutes before realizing this can't be right and look up what I'm doing wrong. Turns out gunshots work fine, so the cutscene was not a heads up for the player not to bother, and the baton works as well and needs to be your main attack but only in certain openings after dodging him. At least it was very easy and quick once you know what to do, which I can't say of the final boss, which has way too many gimmicks but still doesn't feel satisfying or epic enough.

[@peterwhite6415]

Ive seen gameplay and nearly all the story for most part, finer details i may not know. But i think part of the issue is that the games story feels weirldy Rushed as you go from your ship, to dealing with possibe terrorists to crashing on the prison moon to being locked up in the prison moon, in a matter of HOURS. Another issue is expectations, anyone who saw the trailers (most at least) expected that we were gonna start as prisoners who been in the prison for a while and were trying to escape it, wich would invovle some backtracking through previous zones to restore some of the prison to be workable. (Similar to the Ishimura concept design or us slowy trying to repair it so its more workable or buy us time to deal with the bigger problem.) Ive also seen complaints of the ingame UI, the health bar is kinda hard to read, and healing is so slow taht you can get interrupted out of it. The combat is kinda... okayish? People either assume its more complex then it seems and struggle, or they understand the mechanics and realize how bloody simple and exploitable it is. Your weapons also are pretty simple and while the delay/"window of weakness" when your chaging weapon types is interesting, its kinda frustating when you dont know what to expect, with some guns not being that great towards X type of enemies. In DS 1-2 the weapons were versatile or specilized and you could use any pretty effectivly towards any enemy if you know how, wich required skill and some experimentation... plus switching was alot easier. The story has potential but the ending being a cliffhanger of sorts and asking for a Sequel, that to me was another issue. They could have made this story self-contained and it would have been fine, DS1 did the same thing with Isaac going mad and leaving his faith unknow. Callisto showing 1 Hero escaping with teh information and one possibly escaping aswell feels weird for a horror movie, especially sicne the Villain is a Illuminatti Style Conspiracy that so far has been SMART about their actions. Seriously, the Warden and his collegues may be Batshit insane, but they shown to be smart enough to not do dumb shit.: - His collegues were wearing masks since their Identities are safe, Warden wasnt cause he knew it wasnt required if someone escaped somehow. - He was never in the Prison and is only shown as an Hologram, so he was always safe and keeping track of it remotly. - Theyve been doing this shit for years and are powerfull enough to cover up most of it, wich Unintology kinda fails to do so if were being honest. Callisto Protocol to me is a game with good ideas but poor execution with a posisbly rushed development. Edit.: I forgot about the Awfull Checkpoint system, its fucking garbage and i wish it sticked to the Save-Stations, those you at least know are reasonable and makes sense to be spreadout in a prison.

[@leithaziz2716]

Callisto protocol might be one of the strangest examples of a recent "6-7/10" game that is only "ok" to the point of being dissapointing to many. And it differs from games like Sonic Frontiers or Dragon's Dogma, other "7/10" games where there's a lot of jank in the way, but the reception to them was much more positive in spite of that. I can only speak as a spectator, but I was left fullfilled and happy by my experience with Frontiers. I enjoyed the writing and boss battles. Can't speak for DD without experience. I wonder if that says something about what Callisto did in comparison that makes it feel so much worse. Maybe its expectations, but I'm not sure.

[@soliduswasright678]

[@andret3739]

Games like those have lots of issues and jank but what they get right they really get right, Calisto doesn't really get anything right, everything is just ok

[@jimbob1862]

I think the best way to describe it is that those games are engaging on a moment to moment basis and also in a long form variant. Frontiers has a bunch of pop in and general technical jank, but Sonic himself has such a wide ton of moves and general movement options that all feel great (I'd say overall the best they've ever felt in 3d). Want to be a boost freak? Go ahead. Want to be a momentum man like the classics? There's less options, but the drop dash when utilised properly can outpace the powered up boost and go on indefinitely if you know how to use hills. Callisto is the AAA variant of 7/10, a Ryse Son of Rome or The Order 1886 wherein so much is focused on the presentation that there's just fuck all that's actually interesting to play with, even with the upgrades and tech you can unlock that arguably deepen the combat.

[@Norgorber]

[@MAJR172]

Some things I'm surprised Pat didn't mention: 1) The save system is directly lifted from DS3. 2) Healing takes like a whole minute and you're helpless the whole time, making it impossible during combat. Same goes for swaping between weapons. 3) Kinisis cannot pick up dead bodies of ammo/credits limiting it use. There is barely anything to use kinesis on as a weapon, something DS2 fixed. 4) It's nigh impossible to tell when kenisis is about to run out. 5) Not only does it shittily rip off DS 1-3, it also blatantly rips off Re2Re with you best friend hallucinations clearly an expy of the Licker Victim early on and an obvious Tyrant expy for the last half of the game. Like seriously WTF did all their creativity/competence dry up after DS2?!

[@Densoro]

What a shame. I really wanted to see the Dead Space ‘directional cuts’ system translated into melee, instead of a basic three-hit combo.

[@harbingerwolf1179]

There's the 3 zambo type enemies Pat mentioned but there is also 5 more. Tentacle head traps, blind clicker style zambo, a brute equilvalent which is a tall zambo splitting into a 2nd one, a wall crawling stalker equivalent which turns 100% invinsible, a mutated buff version of the standard zambo and finally the final boss who has 2 forms. But aside from that i'd echo all the other points, the atmosphere just isnt there. When i was in the sPoOpY area with the clicker type enemies i was supposed to stealth around all the tention melted away when i realised they were weak as shit and easy to kill. Also that particular section got soooooooooo boring i was so bored of stealth killing 50 of them one after the other.

Calisto Protocol was pretty much Deadspace but all the good things about the ip was left with the remake being made and all that was left was basically the leftovers that couldn't be taken away or were retrofitted together to escape the claim like combining stasis with the kinesis mechanic but taking the "WOW" factor away or the 3D printer (You could make anything you want, but here's some crap you've already seen) instead of the workbench among other seemingly nitpicky things you can get out of it and there's a LOT. All in all, if you've played Dead Space, The Force Unleashed or are familiar with any show on the Sci-fi channel, you won't see anything special come from this. Though, if you've got a younger relative who wants something as an intro to horror and has never really experienced or played anything related to the genre, this could be it maybe since the bare bones tropes are there

Paige got a sponsor code, pat did not, so it's all paige for that

[@MrStath1986]

@@alphax-shroom6781 Probably knew that Pat would shit on it.

I really want to say calisto is not a bad game. It's a proper tie in to the dead space series. And has some neat things left to be said. But sadly enough it does have it's faults. For me it just looks like the last of us but in space. With all the herky jerk combat. The jump scare that are literally forced on you. And the lack of bosses (like a space hulk that turns into a space abomination that only has a three hit combo is just not even trying at all) I see what Glenn Schofield was trying to do. But he obviously slipped on a banana peel with this one, still fun to watch I miss the rad brad.

Correction: The Callisto Homepour. Get it right, you two. For fuck's sake.

[@paragonrobbie9270]

I was looking forward to The Callisto Within: Homecoming...as a huge Dead Space fan, this makes me sad...

[@chrisdaughen5257]

I had a bad feeling when the trailers started focusing on the characters talking instead of the monsters and scares.

[@galacticspecter4364]

I’m sure Callisto protocol 2 will be much better

[@KAPTAINmORGANnWo4eva]

Do any "successor games" break the threshold from "competent but giving crowdfunders/investors buyers' remorse" to "actually good?" The only contenders I could think of were Bloodstained and Evil Within 2.

[@Octumesprime]

Halfway through now, really enjoying it in a “shut off your brain and don’t think about it” way, the combat is pretty fun but everything feels like it needs polish. I imagine if it’s given a sequel it’ll be much better.

Callisto Downpour

[@theocan]

I would say at its worst, it's a 5 and at its best it's a 7. It's a bit of an anomaly in today's climate as most games tend to skip that middle ground and are either very good or very bad. I'd like to see where it will go from here, but knowing the poor reception, we will probably not get a sequel. Which is a shame as mediocre titles like this generally have pretty good grounds to make some great improvements ala Evil Within 2.

[@PoisonInc]

Roll on the Dead Space remake then...

[@scotshabalam2432]

D'awwww. I saw the clip for the video, read the title, and thought Woolie or Pat was going to play a game while the other watched and talked.

[@chrishern8645]

I really wanted to love this game, there are some thing i like but just to much bad discussions bring it down for me. But i did beat it and will go back for another round later but i just want more good survival horror games.

[@antonhanna2423]

In my opinion, based on all the other youtubers that I'm subbed to and their gameplay, there is *some* enjoyment to Callisto Protocol. The only thing I notice that kills everybody's faith is the weapon upgrade system and sometimes the boss fights in the game. I mean don't get me wrong, it's really goddamn annoying that you practically have to search every orifice of each level for credits like a Gynecologist checking the popular kid at a local high school for diseases but if you're trying to play the game for the first time, you shouldn't adopt the whole "Completionist Grindset" mentality unless you're replaying the game, which currently sucks at the time of this comment because they weren't able to give the game a NG+ mode (Ironic, isn't it). About the boss fights, I have no room to talk. It's a third person horror game where enemies get stronger whenever you don't finish them off like some sort of Chinese bootleg Zenkai boost and sometimes you can't kill them due to the fact that aside from melee, there's always one or two guns that are *supposedly* only good at doing one job even though they're terrible at doing that same job in the first place. Edit: I literally lost track of the point of whatever I was saying (No shit), so sorry in advance for making people read this.

[@DevilKiller994]

Yeah whenever I played this, all I felt was disappointment.

[@MrTeucro99]

Calisto protocol? More like Calisto SCROTOCOL, cause this game is fucking scrotoum.

[@Arachnid0X]

"The surge" energy

[@benskx]

So glad Pat mentioned how shitty the stomp is, definitely feels flaccid in Callisto vs Dead Space. Watching aris stream this and he loves like everything about it, blows my mind how many shitty games he likes, but maybe he does it just to irritate chat lmao. I hope to god the DS1 remake ends up being good.

[@iller3]

Woolie's reaction was that of a child opening a xmas package and realizing it's just more Socks

[@rickdaniel7341]

Krafton: We are happy to announce a new game in the PUBG universe… DeadSpace remake: *announced Krafton: … Is what we would say if we were morons. Our actual new game is a survival space horror game that has nothing to do with DeadSpace *or* PUBG. Striking Distance: “But-“ Krafton: DO WHAT I SAY!

[@MaiCaulk]

The team behind the game is essentially Visceral members back together right? I could be mistaken but that would explain the bad bosses. Dead Space has not one good boss

[@Andrew_TS]

moar like Dead4Space rite?

[@jesusmunoz6372]

I canceled my pre order for this. I guess I dodged a bullet. I was hoping for a survival horror game not another deadspace 3 situation..

[@BTM8109]

The speedruns for this garbage are gonna be nuts

[@FirstNameLastName-fe2tu]

This game reminded me of Mighty no. 9 of all things. Because it is a spiritual child with o.g people...but then it came out and is ass. Meanwhile the company brings their answer to it. Megaman 11 and Dead space remake...and spiritual thing is BLOWN outta the water by it.

[@Rio..o7..]

please Evil Within 3
