Fear Gauntlet: Luigi's Mansion

[ggami7]

You realize you're supposed to just HOLD the control stick back instead of mashing it in the opposite direction., right?

[gameboycolor47]

this should be at least number 2 of the scariest games

[powerbombfart]

NOT SCARY????? WHAT THE FUCK?!?! PLAY IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKIN NIGHT DURING A THUNDERSTORM!!!!!! EVEN THEN THE SCARYNESS DOESNT TAKE AFFECT UNTIL YOU GET TO THE BOSS GHOSTS!!!!!!!!!! WHICH BY THE WAY YOU STOPPED THE VIDEO RIGHT BEFORE FIGHTING THE FIRST ONE!!! im sorry but it CAN be a scary game if you do that and make it to the boss ghosts...man.

[MrColdBeens]

I LOVED THIS GAME WHEN I WAS YOUNG :D

[Neoxym]

Why is this not on the main site? This is great :)

[IL1KE2COMM3NT]

Start watching the video and it begins to thunder. Coincidence????? Mebe. ^^

[dna4ever42]

Screaming all the time is not very entertaining, Mr. Kessler.

[RedCricketChase]

did you know that the other one besides matt kessler is kind of attractive beside how cute matt kesslers hair is ok

[Zaxex]

Damn Luigi's Mansion looks good, wish I'd played it years ago.

Is Kessler naturally that charismatic, or is he putting it on for entertainment's sake?

[icetrey87]

You didn't get to the boss fight with Satan so I don't think you're qualified to say it's not scary.

[MagikGimp]

OH NOOOOOO!

[CyberDragonZero]

Hes not really scared of the ghosts. Luigi really just hates hot dusty it is.

[R0B1NG5]

Man I kinda want to play this now.

[UglyGeezer]

A morbidly obese young man with gravy stains down his chest doesn't make for easy viewing :(

[Sethmyrrh]

@UglyGeezer An obviously insecure jerkoff leaving mean hateful comments doesn't make for easy reading.

[UglyGeezer]

@Sethmyrrh It wasn't meant to be hateful, apologies if it seems so :(

[DarthKalia]

The rap is priceless.

[Guyzea]

I'd much rather watch the Fear Gauntlet than Betting the Farmviller.

[kikuchiyoh]

As a total coward that was freakin' out while playing (though still enjoyed) Resident Evil, Dead Space, Singularity and others with suspenseful or scary elements I love the video concept. Like some kind of progressively hotter salsa eating training.

[Darkbeatdk]

You guys need to change your giantbomb nicknames to Scoopy and Scrappy.

Also, check out Michigan: Report from Hell. It's a great scary/sexy game by Suda 51.

[Nirvana2323]

Hip Hop Bodega is the best!

[qwertyuiop78945612]

this game's sound design is pretty great. also you have gotten funnier guys, congrats

[Daveyo520]

I loved this game.

[greycolumbus]

What a good game. Need a Wii U release.

[Wladislav]

Amnesia, SH2, Fatal Frame, Call of Cthulhu, Shattered Memories, RE4, Eternal Darkness, Dementium, Siren, Phantasm, Clock Tower, Dead Space, Condemned, Doom 3, FEAR, RE, Doom, House of the Dead 2, Castlevania 64, Luigi's Mansion.

...

RE better be REmake and then switch its position with RE4.

[StMarciano]

RE4 probably won't be that scary because too many games have ripped off *cough*Dead Space*cough* to have it stand out.But back in the day there was nothing else like RE4.

[TimeForHeroesUK]

@StMarciano Dead Space "ripped off" RE4 in the same way that Alan Wake "ripped off" Steven King i.e not at all. Games can take influence from many different forms of media, Dead Space was also heavily influenced by Event Horizon, but that shouldn't be a slight on the game.

Also, you can't say "back in the day" like it was 20 years ago. The game came out in 2005.

[StMarciano]

@TimeForHeroesUK You seem to forget how revolutionary RE4 was.And how it would set the stage for many future games, and necessarily horror ones.And honestly if I played Dead Space before RE4 I would probably like it alot more but if you needed an example of actual ripping off not just(they both have guns!)then DS is the perfect example.It feels like one big mod for RE4.The same camera angle.The same shooting mechanics.The same button mashing mechanics.The same CQC mechanics,similar inventory etc

[DefaultMessiah]

@StMarciano Except DS controls better

[TimeForHeroesUK]

@StMarciano I'm not forgetting how revolutionary it was at all. You say its revolutionary and that it set the stage for future games, then criticise a game for taking influence from it? It hardly becomes "ripping off" RE4's camera angle when tons of games since have used the exact same camera angle. DS also improved greatly upon RE4s control system. In regards to shooting mechanics, DS is based upon dismemberment, so I disagree that they're copied. QTE's also existed long before RE4 came out.

[StMarciano]

@TimeForHeroesUK Usually games that copy certain aspects only do it a little and have enough variation to not be considered a rip off.Hell I never really call games that because most games have enough of a difference but Dead Space is just sooo similar it's like a baby brother trying to fit in his big brother's shoes.And yeah QTE's existed before RE4 but I meant the CQC mechanics as in "PRESS A TO KICK" "TAP B TO ESCAPE".Plus name other mayor titles that used the over the shoulder before RE4?

[TimeForHeroesUK]

@StMarciano I'm not saying other major titles used over the shoulder before RE4, I'm saying that so many games have used it since then that you can't criticise a particular one for doing it when the over the shoulder angle has become as legitimate as the first person perspective. Not every game since the first FPS is ripping it off. And yes, the QTE mechanics are very similar but I just don't see how they're major enough mechanics to be considered ripping off. Both games would be fine without

[StMarciano]

@TimeForHeroesUK Yeah but it's so exact down to the stop n shoot mechanics and the inventory that if you played RE4(especially how much I've played of it)it instantly pops into your mind.Like I've seen some with the same camera angles but Dead Space just does it all.Take RE4 update the graphics,add a futuristic tone/setting,and the necromorphs and bam Dead Space.Not saying anything bad or good about the game just that it's the perfect example of borrowing alot of elements to the point of a copy.

[StMarciano]

@TimeForHeroesUK There isn't really alot of space in these comment boxes thanks Youtube, but Alan Wake and Steven King!?I get your refrence but that's like saying Bioshock ripped off of Atlas Shrugged.It's just an influence besides they didn't even make/were in games so this example is not real good.

[TimeForHeroesUK]

@StMarciano Yes, that's the point I was making. It's not ripping off. It's taking influence from.

[Cirdain1337]

Don't do fear for number 3!!!

[Grimmy616]

Kessler you suck at acting stop it.

[StMarciano]

@Grimmy616 He's just joking.Serious much?

[Grimmy616]

@StMarciano That's what he wants you to think. He's conniving like that

[BlazeHedgehog]

Wario is like heavy metal.

[GeneralBison]

Has Matt ever played a video game before?

[luigi8922]

it bothered me that Bodega NEVER used the B button to turn the flashlight on and off strategically when bustin' ghosts. GOD DAMN IT KESSLER PLAY THE GAME RIGHT.

[JackiJinx]

I will send you my Joe's Video copy of Eternal Darkness if you two so desire. This Gauntlet just doesn't seem complete without it.

[Stoviec]

Luigi's nose has boob physics....

[DaCellaFella]

@Stoviec lol exactly what I thought :D hahaha

I have a feeling this video series is gonna be great! too bad it's not in the actual website. ;)

[Forty8andtwo]

Shouldn't it be "The Fear Gauntlet: Luigi"s Mansion"

[rtslord]

haha, this is awesome. i love the kessler/lemon beatboxing too

[Kyre0]

Amazing video you guys. Keep this great stuff coming.

[DevoidElite]

"Never trust house-mansion-face!" Words to live by, Matt.

Also, the scariest thing in this game is Luigi's face in the save screen.

[Tshirt380]

@StMarciano It was second on the list that comes up right at the intro of the video

[Paool3107]

Man, at 12:55 that was pretty much the THX noise.

[StMarciano]

12:50 This is going to be a great series.

[StMarciano]

Don't worry about Dan Aykroyd Kessler he's got a new role in Dead Rising:Off the record.He's still in the biz.

[Kent1138]

You guys really need to play System Shock 2. It's still the only game I've ever played that I couldn't play in the dark.

[BaconGames]

"He saves the day! You can't save the day and be hip-hop." AMAZING.

[DiarrheaChain]

Silent Hill 2 is like a fairy tale compared to this. Creepy shit.

[Slaker117]

Nose physics!

[jibberhack]

Guiltiest pleasure.

[Dconquist]

Where's Eternal Darkness?

[DrollLondon]

@Dconquist It's near the top!

[qwertyuiop78945612]

Amnesia at the top, can't wait

[XtremeMuffinMan]

Have you two really never played Luigi's Mansion? You're missing out.

But yeah, I remember the game being mildly creepy to me as a little kid when it first came out. I was never really scared, but I probably jumped once or twice and was freaked out a bit.

But now I'm pretty into horror games. Silent Hill 3 is by far the scariest game I've ever played, followed by 2>1>5>4.2 Has the best story though. And after SH games, other games aren't scary.

Also, Kessler, you suck balls at Luigi's Mansion.

[RobertDevious]

Oh, Kessler. You are so over-the-top.

[LukePolito]

Looking forward to the rest of the series, guys.

Good work.

[MrKlorox]

Do you realize the average bitrate of this video in 720p is 666 kbps? Fear Gauntlet, bitch!

[Bleeep]

cool shirt stains

[Axxelator]

Luigi's Mansion? I want to see you play Eternal Darkness. If you dare...

[Jinto117]

"Amnesia: The Dark Descent", scariest game EVER!

[gankaloid]

The Fear Gauntlet sounds rad! I can't play scary games due to my cowardice, but I love to watch people play them.

[Christwood]

Hip-Hop Bodega represent!

[FBrefused]

FUCK YES
