[@oliwermattsson1913]

yeah

[@Ghostfan37]

I was saying the same thing, but I just realized something. They said that Silas was gone and out of the area for a long time. So he probably wouldn’t want to count on killing silas because he couldn’t find him for 6 years. That’s just my thoughts but it kind of makes sense. He still could’ve mentioned silas though.

[@RileyCoyote846]

I mean, to be fair, she probably wouldn’t have believed him and thought he was fucking with her. Most people ignore information that seems to hold no logical sense

[@RileyCoyote846]

Although you could be referring to something else, I’n still very early in this episode so I thought you were talking about at the beginning when he told her to go to the motel

[@ShaimingLong]

I've been thinking about that too, and I believe they should have had it where he does tell Laura the truth, or at least most of the truth if you can get him to respect and trust her after the first full moon in the station. She could still be out there a little too gung ho and still kill Kaylee, which gets her wrapped up with the Hacketts like normal. Travis could have told a fib, claiming that Silas was locked in the shelter and he was on his way to finish the job when he found them crashed in the woods, and that since she let him free and got Max cursed, she should help him in the hunt for Silas, and maybe it's possible for Laura to find out he lied and that Chris was the one actually locked down there giving her the option to just kill Chris to free Max and escape, or to stay on the path of hunting Silas, however long it takes. There's so many better ways they could have gone than the insufferable disaster that is a lack of communication. The devs retread far too much of the same things as Until Dawn that they really should have learned from and improved on, instead of just recycling it on a bigger scale.

[@Sm0k3turt]

The podcast is one of the worst ways they could’ve concluded this. I don’t know why we didn’t see someone who survived delivering the evidence to the cops. And their appropriate reaction depending on what you find. It’s just very undercooked. But still one of the better games they’ve made.

[@Lesley_RedRhody]

I tried to separate my distaste for the other Supermassive and Dark Pictures Games. For a while, I did. I even started to like some of these characters, which is something I’ve never been able to say about the previous games. But, in the end- just like all the others, including Until Dawn- Seán was really the only aspect I liked about The Quarry. One of my all time favorite actors, Lance Henricksen, was so criminally underutilized! Sure, he was only a supporting character in Detroit: Become Human as well, but Quantic Dream knew how to play to his strengths. *This game,* on the other hand, was a complete waste of his talent. These are just my opinions, by the way. For those who liked The Quarry, more power to you. I’ll probably watch Evelien play it next, but I’ll only be doing it for her.

People beef Jacob for nicking the rotor arm without knowing that the consequences would involve werewolves, but I have beef with Chris. Why would you schedule the end of camp to be just a few hours before the full moon? Any sensible organiser should at least leave 48 hours to ensure there's time for any vehicle malfunctions to be dealt with. Even if there aren't any simping jocks with a poor concept of boundaries fucking with your van, break downs can happen for a host of reasons. Jacob didn't know the stakes but Chris did. I feel like responsibility lies far more with him than it does with an emotionally immature 17/18 year old who doesn't know werewolves exist

[@pancakes8670]

Well said my dude

[@fontanna888]

Also the fact that there were still werevolwes on the FIRST DAY OF CAMP. Laura and Max arrived at camp when it was already past midnight, meaning that Chris had to greet the campers just few hours after he finished devouring the camp maskot. Who plans like that?? Literally just make the camp two days shorter! It's so dumb. The real villain wasn't Jacob or Silos, the villain was awful organisation.

[@Nealous1]

Chris isn't the only Hackett to act stupid either. Mrs. Hackett clearly has poor common sense and no concept of gun safety. there is literally no other way that struggle could have ended. I also can't believe she would say "we don't want more blood on our hands and then *not* lock up the infected family members in her secure, electrified cages under the property for the night. The whole family is full of morons.

[@cassandrathomas6015]

What I also wonder about is it seemed from earlier in the story that they were there for 2 months... so what happened on that full moon inbetween? the one where Max scratched Laura's eyeball out. How did Chris guarantee the campers safety?

[@Ashin1O3O]

@@cassandrathomas6015 Remember there were locks on the cabin doors. If that isn't enough remember how Chris was locked up in the attic of the Hackett house. I am assuming, but if Chris wasn't disturbed by Ryan and Laura going up to the attic he probably would have stayed there for the rest of the night not breaking out of his chains. If the Chris not being bothered rule applies then it would work for that 1 night Max turns Werewolf.

I feel like Dylan was the only character we really got to know. Like we found out he likes to do radio, that he wants to become a scientist (i think), that he puts on a different face in front of others... while everyone else we didn't see or hear that much about them. Laura and Max, we got a good amount, but not the amount we got from Dylan. We got a little from Ryan and Emma, learning that Ryan has been to Hackett's Quarry many times, and is good friends with Chris and his kids, Emma we found out that she likes to cheer people up, that she don't like to see people sad.

@@ShaimingLong Given the "feral pale boy sighted up and down the coast" bit that Travis mentioned, I would assume that "human form Silas" at least had some obvious animal traits even outside of the full transformation. Yes, we see his form for a second at the end there, but it's probably his mannerisms, more than purely his appearance. And given how "weak" entertainment was back in the day and the fact that freak shows are often either just handicapped folks or fake, Silas just looking crazy wild and eating raw meat or something would probably suffice for visitors. Kinda wish they expounded on his actual origin a bit, tho. Probably the weakest part of the story that you go this whole "werewolf lineage with rules and shit" route, but then you keep going back in history, uncover all the werewolves and end at "yeah, this guy was just a werewolf all the time or something and his maybe-mom was a witch/ghost".

I don't know it could have to do with the people who have healed from the werewolf bites, like the girl from the first scene was made stronger from being turned.

Ryan could have easily been the “Josh” (Until Dawn) of The Quarry. He had such a strong attachment to the Hackett family. There could have been scenes where certain decisions made it so Ryan betrays the counselors in order to protect the werewolves. Then maybe some insight of why he is so close to the Hackett family besides just spending time at the camp with them.

He's the most boring character

[@alektasdiarydump]

I could tell pretty quickly that Chris Hackett was a kind of surrogate father for Ryan, hence his hesitation later, but they reeeaaaally didn't establish that or execute it very well. The only scenes that had for that, that I can remember, was when Chris had Ryan join him in the office to talk and Ryan mentioned his home life and what not, the few times he mentioned he knew Chris and his kids pretty well, as well as had stayed at that camp for years, and with his hesitation to kill Chris, even as a werewolf. Nothing else. Not even some distress after shot Chris (assuming you chose that route). Among other poor execution for other stuff but I digress. Even though it didn't seem like he was in on anything to me, the potential to use him in a more antagonist role, even if it's more on the neutral side, would have been nice as well as make sense with his character. As well as the opportunity for Dylan to be used as a reason for Ryan to have more of a reason to choose the group over the Hackett family. I mean, the options would be The Hacket Family you have known for years and has helped your dire family situations a bit over the years vs some kids you worked with for 2 months that kinda made fun of you from time to time, or The Hacket Family you have known for years and has helped your dire family situations a bit over the years or your love interest that has shared trauma with you. Bit more incentive.

First of all, love the series and largely agree with the praise and criticism but there is one thing I think Jack missed. Ezra was actually more connected to the story to me than the Psycologist in Until Dawn. She is actually attempting to influence both the player and the counselors to kill off the Hackett family and I find that fascinating. She is the one that guided Laura and Max to the fire site in the first place, shows Laura and Max where the silver bullets are, and even comments that "one vermin is gone" when Kaylee is killed. Of course it gets more obvious after that but even if you think about the kinds of futures the cards show they are often showing how to kill the Hacketts in human or werewolf form. She is actually the biggest misdirect in the game since you shouldn't listen to her if you want to save the most lives.

[@emperordemon8605]

Agree, but the main piece of evidence you can do is that, in until dawn, the psychologist is actually not real, just a hallucination by Josh in his mind so of course he won’t have a massive impact on the plot. It’s just a way to show how Josh is losing his mind throughout the game even if you don’t know at first.

I agree that Until Dawn still holds the #1 spot, but The Quarry did end up being an entertaining 'watch' regardless. However, there did appear to be a few holes in TQ's story/actions that just felt like they didn't make sense and had me questioning multiple times what was going on and why certain things happened. Maybe this is just how you played your playthrough Jack, but I also felt there were less unexpected risky situations. From memory, Until Dawn had a lot more 'shock factor', where things just weren't expected from making small actions and had more gripping entertainment value. TQ felt very much like your standard horror film and one of the only shocking parts was when the mum got her face taken off. Great game either way; just had some holes and lacked unexpected substance in some areas.

[@genesissabiox4475]

It really does feel like the choices in this game do not make that much of a difference, or if they do, they are connected in the most bizarre way possible. Half the time you make a choice, the character doesn't do what the option said it was going to make them do. Like Jacob being in the woods. It gives you a choice to either call out or stay quiet. Even if you stay quiet, he still calls out "Hello?" seconds after you made the choice. And here, giving Laura the chance to run. She stands still while the man gets back up, gathers himself, and pulls a gun on her once more. She doesn't even leave that room. I understand people put a lot of work into the character models and the scenery in this game is beautiful. But the writing feels somewhat lazy, like the choices are more so "personality quirks," rather than a relevant option for story development. The story just goes in its own direction most of the time, completely disregarding the paths it gives you. Even holding your breath. It's displayed in the tutorial as having a major role to the overall outcomes. And yet, you hold your breath, the character immediately runs out while the antagonist is still in the area, and they get chased anyway. So, basically, no matter what you decide to do, be it the "smart" choice, or the "dumb" choice, the character will still commit to a terrible decision without the player's control. To me, it ultimately just feels like cheap writing. If you're going to give me choices, then at least let them make somewhat of an impact to the story of each character. Sorry about the length of this comment, but this is my biggest criticism. I feel enough folks talked about the ending, but this is what bothered me most, truly.

[@crypt7cmsp]

i agree! continuity with their animations and choices is what really gets me. dylan's a prime example since he literally loses his hand; if you played through and didn't cut it off, he still never fully uses it, he continues to fumble around. i understand it takes so much time to animate and design alternative cut scenes and models along with respective movements and animations, but it feels so lazy. the game genuinely forces you into either killing off the characters based on poor choices (whether that be by your own hand, or through forced scenarios like having to call out despite not choosing to) OR you can let them live then never see them give the storyline any further depth. you spend so much time bonding and trying to keep all of their relationships in tact for absolutely nothing to come out of it - no reunions or follow up whatsoever in the end. i really appreciate how gorgeous the game is at times but how can you expect players to enjoy it and want to seek out the alternative options and paths if doing so provides absolutely no difference from the main direction the story takes?

I don't think Laura will believe Travis if he ever talks about Silas, and if so Ryan is the only who saw Silas. Besides, they only have one night to end the curse and finding Chris is way easier, at least for her( That final scene where they face silas was very underwhelming )

[@bananapepper3899]

I think that; like we know, Silas hadn’t been in that area in years. He’s most likely very far away, further than they could ever hope to reach him in one night of looking. Chris bites max, so travis has to try and fix the situation, because he’s a good guy and isn’t about to kill a couple of twenty something year olds to cover up their secret. He didn’t want to tell them what was going on, but when Laura said they knew max was a werewolf, that plan was out the window. So now, he knew they knew. If they knew, why not try to make the best of the situation? He feels he alone is keeping the family together and desperately wants to find Silas and end the nightmare. So, he shows Laura Max’s transformation, and shows max the recording of that. He’s trying to get them on his side. He gives Laura the poem which holds the information of the werewolves: the infectious bite, shunning of water etc. (Meaning Laura now knows, if she kills the werewolf who bit max, he’ll be cured) But, travis doesn’t tell them about Chris being the werewolf in the bunker. Travis doesn’t want to put a giant target on his brothers back, so he comes up with a lie about "not being able to kill the wolf, cuz he was trying to protect them". This seems to work somewhat, so he gives her the offer of hunting the head werewolf (I’m pretty sure the white werewolf *is* mentioned in the poem, so technically she does know about it, and since she didn’t know then that Chris was the one who bit max, finding Silas seemed like her best shot at curing max). She considers it, although max doesn’t trust travis and thinks they can’t believe what he says (after all, he had kept them locked up for 2 months). It seems like Laura’s going to take Travis up on the offer, but then Chris shows up. She overhears their conversation and figures out that Chris is the werewolf responsible for turning max. Well hallelujah, there’s their ticket. Why waste time on finding the head wolf that’s already long gone, that they may never find, when Chris is right there? Sure it’s sort of immoral, but she loves her boyfriend and wants to help him. If she needs to kill someone then so be it (in game, when talking to Ryan, she seems he’ll bent on ending Max’s cure that night. She REALLY didn’t want to be stuck until the next full moon). Travis doesn’t know they heard his conversation, so he’s non the wiser to their plan of killing Chris. So, they trick travis and escape the station. Now, when at the camp, she’s trying to find him. Travis never has a chance to try and talk her down. Even if he did, how would he convince her? "Hey, please don’t shoot my brother. I know you both have a future planned together and want to cure max ASAP and shooting my brother now would achieve that, but why not /not/ do that, and instead help us hunt the head wolf that we haven’t seen for 6 years and have no real proof of his existence?" I don’t think it’s very convincing and Ma probably wouldn’t want that either. Laura killed her sweet Kaylee after all. Ma would probably be very hostile towards her, so Laura really wouldn’t have much of a reason to trust travis. I think the game could have been better, and maybe certain plot points should have been explained clearer (and all in all the lack of communication from the hacketts is very infuriating, especially since there’s no real reason for it. I think the story should have been thoroughly analysed to prevent plot holes and unclear motives, like for an example; why the fuck they would run a summer camp near their hunting grounds and for what reason they thought it would be a good idea to end camp on the day of the full moon? (Also the fact that camp was 2 months long: meaning that there should have been a full moon in the middle of camp, which makes 0 sense (it’s even seen when Laura and max are locked up at the police station))) But I certainly enjoyed it and this particular part of the story doesn’t really bother me. Sure it could’ve been explained better, but when you think about it, it does make sense.

[@peanut9560]

In the poem he did tell her that it started from the “white wolf”, however Laura seems to be so angry towards Chris and Travis that she only hears that if the wear wolf who infected the individual dies, the individual is cured.

[@tylertheparadox9699]

I think most of my problems boil down to just to me feeling like the ending was incomplete/rushed. I think a much better ending would be for everybody to meet back up at the lodge (including Nick, Jacob and Max) and have a showdown facing Silas. I wanted a big showdown where multiple characters could get killed with one bad choice like the ending of Until Dawn. This didn't give me that The characters felt incomplete. I couldn't connect to Abi, Nick, Jacob, or the Hackett's because of simply lack of scenes/ personality. It felt like Dylan, Kaitlyn, Emma, Ryan and Laura were given the action scenes while everybody else were thrown away. I didn't like the Hackett family being part of it since our characters could have been fleshed out more if they only had themselves to rely on and they had to figure out the mystery by themselves. Also the main relationships we saw just vanished (Ryan/Dylan and Abi/Nick). After their scenes together they basically vanished and makes me wonder what's the point of it in the first place. We got zero closure. Also I would adore watching you play Until Dawn again. I watched you play it when I was 8/9 and was obsessed with it.

Unpopular opinion, but when they got back to the lodge, I hoped they wouldn’t have the big showdown like you said. It’s cliché, and it was done in Until Dawn. I’m honestly glad they left it out.

[@Sensuka]

This ending feels like the Devs needed another 6-12 months but some dude in a suit walked into the studio and said "Nope, we have to release it this year!". Easily one of the worst endings from all their recent games combined. I still think this is their second best game after Until Dawn. I heard this is supposed to be their last (horror) game. I hope that's not true, please do more games like this & Until Dawn.

[@bodigames]

its not their last lol. stop believing random dudes on the internet. the studio has literally confirmed to make a `Until Dawn remake.

@@bodigames I’m with ya but a ‘Until Dawn’ remake isn’t a new horror game

This won't be their last horror game because they're already continuing the "Dark Picture Anthology" with the new game "The Devil in Me" wich trailer released a few days ago

Man of medan and this game pale in comparison to Until Dawn. They had one big hit but couldnt release others that were as good as Until Dawn.

I feel like this game started off really strong but ended up being heavily weighed down by its flaws. They set up the counselors at the beginning in a way that made it seem like they were going to have some really interesting interactions but that just never happened. They forgot about Nick completely after he turned, Jacob had no purpose of being there and was alone for the majority of the time, it was hinted that Ryan knew something more but it never went anywhere, Emma and Abi weren't given enough to do, and I feel like the only character that was actually fleshed out was Dylan. It would've been really cool if like Jacob was convinced to join the Hackett's hunting force or something so he wouldn't just feel pointless in the story. I also feel that more backstory or dialogue with the Hackett's was necessary to make you actually care about them, because I found myself only caring about Travis. Also ill say it, the ghost lady was fucking stupid, I think they could've found another way into learning about Silas instead of just throwing an entirely new concept into the game that isn't explored whatsoever. The writing was hilariously awkward and bad at times, and the ending was EXTREMELY anticlimatic, with no dialogue between the characters, losing all the payoff or regret your supposed to feel for keeping people alive. Overall, I don't think its a bad game by any means, but it just pisses me off because it could've have been so so so much better.

The issues with characters became painfully obvious to me when I watched a group of 5 people play to co-op version, one of them chose Nick as their only character, one chose Jacob, one chose Ryan and Dylan (and he ended up giving Ryan to the guy who "played" Nick for obvious reasons) and the other two chose Kaitlyn/Abigail and Emma/Laura. The balance between all the playable characters is just sad =/

my goodness. After everything this game showed, ending it with that “podcast” was undeniably the most boring thing ever. And i agree with everyone disappointed about having no character reunion at the end.

[@sunnywhite196]

Guess they had to tie in Ryan's supernatural podcast comments earlier in the game somewhere, though I would've preferred an outro like the Dark Pictures Anthology with the Hag of Hackett's Quarry making statements about the end result depending on how much evidence you found or how many cards you had.

[@benkinsey13]

[@vaniatalithacastro6908]

@@benkinsey13 yeah, i think the concept of using the podcast to discuss all the evidence the player found is pretty interesting; it all just came down to execution. Because like Jack said, they were saying everything that you would normally cut out from a podcast lmao

[@HiddenLunarWings]

The only way I can describe how this game felt story-wise is as if the developers created a huge, complex story like in Until Dawn, and someone came in, cut out a full half of it, and said "okay, now make it work." So many loose ends, storylines and characters that never went anywhere. For example: - The Hackette family. They seemed like such interesting characters and that they were going to have more lore behind them, and then Laura shoots the mother's face off two minutes after the player meets her for the first time. Also, what happened to Bobby? It really felt like the original intention was to set up a Chainsaw Massacre-esque family that also turned into werewolves, but again, it feels like half of the game was cut out and that was never fully explored. - Gathering evidence for a police interrogation that... never happened. There was that whole cartoon the devs put into the game about how important evidence was going to be for potentially pleading a case or preventing a character from being detained, and all it actually meant was a headline change for the podcast at the credits that is so god awful that most people probably skip. - All of the relationships between the characters. The first half of the game is watching these characters grow closer together, and then nothing ever comes of it. DylanxRyan/KaitlynxRyan, EmmaxJacob, AbixNick... The only relationship that was fleshed out to any degree was Laura and Max's. - Nick. He turned into a werewolf, escaped, and then we never see him again. He's just... out there, I guess, until Chris is killed? Similar with Jacob. He makes some appearances later in the story, but I agree with what Jack said about how Jacob felt completely tossed to the side because the developers expected players to have killed him off by mid/late-game. - Speaking of Nick, why did he become such an asshat when he started to turn? None of the other characters did. I thought there was going to be a psychological element to the transformation that was going to be explored, but it never goes anywhere. Laura is still Laura right before she transitions, Max is still gentle too. - Many of the characters' story arcs. Emma, for example, seemed like she was going to get a whole redemption arc, and then the devs put her in the basement with Abi for the rest of the game. We never really got to know Chris, Kaitlyn, Nick, or Abi that well either.

[@dryptosaurus]

The only point I wanna reply to is Nick becoming an asshole, because we can see Chris be super angry with the car, and I assumed that before the transformation the people just much more animalistic.

[@xeoney]

The final part of the game definitely feels rushed. It's probably too late now, but I hope there's at least an explanation or even a DLC to explain some things.

[@RandomGirl119]

With Nick, all I could think of was how the other characters, like Emma and I can't remember who else, kept saying that Nick is *_not_* as innocent as he seems. So it seemed like his sweet, innocent, harmless personality was just an act, and when he started to turn werewolf, he couldn't keep up the act anymore and was more of his true self.

[@HiddenLunarWings]

@@RandomGirl119 That's what I was thinking. Jacob commented that he believed Nick had never had sex before, but Emma said that when they kissed, he "knew what to do with his tongue" (or something along those lines). Makes me wonder if that was foreshadowing that he was secretly a fuckboi the entire time.

[@theguy_222]

The fact that Kaitlin wasn’t utilized was so disappointing…She had such an interesting introduction and then that was kind of it? And as Jack said a few episodes ago, maybe if you went with the RyanxKaitlin route, you’d get to know her a bit more..but even then, with Dylan (the route Jack went for Ryan) you still didn’t really get to know him that much. Hopefully they create a DLC and Jack wants to play it.
