World of Goo 2: All Cutscenes

[@derkatwork33]

Watching this without ever playing the games or seeing any other content from ‘world of goo’ is such a weird trip.

[@alexsiemers7898]

13:07 the funniest thing is that I actually ended up skipping the second half of The Black Stain because of how slow it was and yet this statement here is, completely by coincidence, the best way I’ve seen a game not make me feel bad for skipping content.

[@casualbird7671]

How did you skip it? I had done the other levels first and found I wasn't allowed to get to the finale until I beat the rest of black stain

[@alexsiemers7898]

@@casualbird7671the drop-down tab where you can retry a level or return to the level select also has an option to skip levels entirely. And it’s allowed for any level if you find it too annoying or difficult.

[@alphaamoeba]

Theres a skip option on the dropdown menu

[@SilverMSM]

I personally didn't mind it (I kinda like long dialogue parts in games if they're interesting), but I can see why some people didn't like it as much.

[@alexsiemers7898]

@@SilverMSMit was mainly annoying to me because it was a total drag in terms of pacing compared to the rest of the game.

[@thewolfgabe3656]

When you think about the whole plot of World of Goo 2 is like an inverse of the plot of World of Goo 1 World of Goo Drive the goo balls to near extinction and fuck up the planet World of Goo 2 Drive the human population to extinction and help the goo population thrive in the end.

[@zibsidian5215]

Human's go extinct in the original World of Goo as well.

hey resident world of goo fan here. this game was genuinely the best game ive ever played in a long long time. im so glad the game is getting a lot more coverage and more people are discovering it. we in the community love to see it

[@SilverMSM]

Agreed

It’s more than a throwback, I think it’s the same telescope

[@ChuckTheBossX]

thought the same thing, minus the people dying part lol

[@HumanOnEarth128]

I still loved this game ,but I wish they would've taken more time to explain like why the goo balls returned. LIke a bit more context about all the sudden changes in the first three chapters would've helped a lot. That said I loved the new mechanics and music. The ending was also really cool!

[@raptoranimations2857]

Personally chapter 4 was the best part it was just so random and hilarious

[@silvercat18]

Atomic Train's cutscene is just disturbing.

[@alvinfongjunjiemoe8445]

MÆDO IN HEAVEN!

[@MrChair1241]

Absolutely agreed. It terrifies me on like an existential level. It doesn’t feel like humans were designed to think about that long a timespan.

[@speedymatt1236]

That’s EXACTLY how I feel when trying to get 999,999 tags in StreetPass…

[@glengalloway2508]

Could be the whole reason why the game was rated T instead of E

[@Mad_Ancient_Computer_700AD]

While it's a scary concept it's not actually how relativity works and kinda loses the punch for me because of it

[@akakiiakakievich1646]

4:17 is this Little Inferno world? Cause it's snow and the melody from Little Inferno.

[@HumanOnEarth128]

Pretty sure it was supposed to be yeah. I guess the idea is that the kid eventually left like Miss Nancy does.

[@TheKanakoKetsukane]

The melody is actually from world of goo since its the telescope operator theme

[@glengalloway2508]

The black stain just feels unreal to me. If someone showed me that part of the game without me knowing what it was. Never in a million years I would have guessed World Of Goo

[@TheOriginalStarwalker64]

The Atomic Express was so damn cool. I couldn't understand its purpose, but maybe I didn't need to

[@alexsiemers7898]

In the last level the signs said World of Goo Corp. was at the maximum speed of goo collection, so they wanted to speed up the passage of time itself to collect it even faster. As for why it accelerated for 200,000 years, I’d say they got carried away with the idea and thus went too far.

[@MrChair1241]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@alexsiemers7898It also seems that WoG Org’s efforts were fruitless, since the passage of time getting faster is *only* relative to those on the train. To everyone else outside, time would be moving forward at a normal rate.

[@Deadsphere]

The games from these devs have always felt really... off-putting. Like I get it, that's always been their thing. I have to wonder what the underlying message is at this point.

[@HumanOnEarth128]

I think it's trying to build a contrast between the destructive and false "can't stop progress" ideology of the first game and the new game where there truly is a form of progress you can't stop the cycle of life and rebirth.

all this game's voice acting sounds like ai

[@KingRidley]

It's all credited to real people But yeah it really does sound like AI

[@TubbyFatfrick]

It does indeed sound like AI, but a part of me wants to think that it's a stylistic choice. Perhaps it's an ironic twist on what modern entertainment, through social media, is. Rather than making a Machine sound more like a Man, it's making a Man sound like a machine. With both games having semi-clear anti-capitalist undertones, showing corporate greed for what it basically is, supports this theory.

[@itsdripnovababy]

Perhaps that was part of the voice direction??

[@JebbyisJeb]

I have mixed feelings about chapter 4, while it’s very interesting and pretty fun, going back and replaying the black stain levels is a chore. Also it changes the direction of where the story was going with a pretty meh one. Overall I feel like the chapter should’ve taken a different direction.
