[MrSuperdonut64]

[MLGxProxFaggot]

[ThatDudeJCrash]

You using fraps bro?

[DANSHINATOR]

awesome game!

[cmhonsu33]

what the fuck is the game all about

[ymen1234]

wtf is this about?

[Periculo8910]

The cinematic looked awesome. Then I came here, seriously man are you running the game on an Atari Potato?

[TheTreko16]

@Periculo8910 This would be a video of the Dear Esther Mod which ran on a different version of the source engine - the same as Half-life 2 if I'm not mistaken - you insufferable twat.

[ExstaticHigh]

@Periculo8910 are you mentally handicapped? Aug 14, 2011 was when this video was posted.

[marfg12345]

the guy playing this is a complete DICK, he promotes this game in a bad light, he has the graphics set to the lowest possible, and why are you people watching this video? there are a lot better videos of this game ffs, search youtube for "dear esther ign review" and you'll see the real look of this game

[ILikeSlxshies]

@marfg12345 What the hell -.- this is the HL2 mod version...i think

[mxrsnicks]

@marfg12345 As ILikeSlxshies said.. this is the original game, a hl2-mod, not the new steam release.. check ur facts next time before writing such a shit...

[TheDanzinger]

@marfg12345 YOU sir are a effin dumbass. Get your facts right before posting such a idiotic comment here. 

[Thaibiohazard123]

Can anyone explain what is this game all about ?

[DaddyF4ts4k2]

is that game made by sierra? or gearbox? these are half life sounds :)

[Bl3ssedWithACurs3]

@DaddyF4ts4k2 I think its based on a mod for Half Life, that's why

[almu6laq]

@Capeau my friend I'm not telling anyone to buy this game, I just explained it to the ppl who didn't play it yet so that they know that its not a game and then they decide to buy it or not

[almu6laq]

@Ronek13 lol yea this game is not ur style

[f1re888]

what's with these fking mormon commercials???

[CptMikeGarcia]

OMG PLEASE DON´T GO TO THE BLACK SIDE!

[hat1324]

LOL this was more interactive than the 2012

[hexaNN16]

This game makes me believe that episode 3 will come

[luvixable]

Is this gmae scary??

[apemannen3000]

wow dude the game reqs aren't that hight can't you play it on maximum graphics??

[418subscrible]

Start punching some trees,make a shelter,a bed,fishing rod,LED light,go fishing,etc....

Now THIS is what I call a game.

[GModDennsi]

Garrys Mod?

[carnagecat8]

thats source engine i think

[marfg12345]

@carnagecat8 no, usually the graphics are amazing in this game, this guy has a shitty old PC so he has the graphics options set on lowest possible

[PH5221]

@marfg12345 You're a fucking idiot. It's a mod for HL2. This isn't the actual game. Know what you are talking about, then speak.

[TheDanzinger]

@marfg12345 Get your facts right, before... omg just do the same shit as marfg12345 do, ITS A FREAKIN HL2MOD FROM YEARS AGO -.-

[schubertnewfield]

dialogue too quiet, where are the subtitles from last time?

[Shinykangaroo]

wow, now a walk-simulator for the lazy ppl. When will fishtank-simulator ever come.

[ColbztaTV]

I just got Dear Esther and it is amazing! you all need to get it.

[almu6laq]

@51674 exactly

[gerry13cs]

what is this game about???

[scootfd3s]

oh crap your settings suck.

[MrWiggyMan]

@scootfd3s It's not the settings. It's the mod. Dear Esther was released like this for Half Life 2 first. NOW, it's the nice eye catching game.

[MrBellyar]

The point of this game is to give you the atmosphere of irrationality and chaos, and with each speech when you try to understand the flow of the dudes thoughts you still won't. + for something new.

[Blazingwheel]

the game looks so unfinished like its just all open with spare space

[theoriginalbensteele]

@Blazingwheel Because he either has a poor computer or just doesn't know how to optimise graphics; when it's maxed out the game looks beautiful, it's full of grass and water reflections and foliage and rocks.

[Yanoss1313]

@Blazingwheel thats because your looking at an unfinished version.

[Owantjaaaa]

@Blazingwheel it's because this is the 2008 version

[isjet]

I would give it a try if there were any mechanics to do like repair a motor or something with parts u can find. By just going around a map that isnt really high detailed.. I rather go in the bushes of crysis 1 or skyrim

[MrBigBadWolf87]

best play when high

[almu6laq]

Dear Esther is not a video game; at least, not in the traditional sense. In 2008, it was released for the PC as a Half-Life 2 mod. Now, it has been rereleased as a stand-alone product with updated visuals and remastered audio. It casts you as a person stranded on a lonely island. At first, it seems you are the narrator, whose voice chimes in as you explore. However, even this easy assumption is called into question as the pieces of the narrator's story come together.

[TodayTestfbsfbsfbs]

best game ever =D very interesting genre, but a film is better because you don't must controll somewhere

[Hustenbommi]

8:20 lol it's a LED xD

[HandMekeysYouFuCoSkr]

@Hustenbommi LDR :D

[TheDanzinger]

@Hustenbommi it actuall is yes, later in the game you will find other plans of electronic stuff and so on.

[sandcoff98]

very intriguing

 game

[jacobisswell]

um wasnt expecting a queer ducumentary so this game makes no sense unless you don't want to pick up a damn book....

[almu6laq]

@XenicsOG yes its on steam and on a blue-ray too, but its not a game.. u can call it a relaxing or something like that.. like that game which u control the wind in a garden I dont know its name, but its not a game, just moving the wind and relax.. no story no anything

[aidantheviper]

This Types Of games Make me Headache )xxxxxxxxx

[Sessohmarusama]

Mystery/Horror ..... ? Noooo Mystery/Boring xD

[Altti1337]

source engine? gj valve..

[Hormidal]

so, what is it you do in this game? you walk around admiring the shit source engine graphics listening to someone talk?

[mshartz5]

@Hormidal

Source a shit engine?

FYI this is an old version of the game...the actual game release has amazing graphics that will run great on even low-end/older PC's.

It is a great engine, in fact. I mean look at BF3 and Skyrim. They look great, but require a lot more resources than Source. Not to mention how wacky the BF3 graphics can act from time to time.

It is also the modded engine in the world. Damn kids these days.

[Hormidal]

@mshartz5 lmfao, i love how you say kids these days, your implying that i'm a child right? or are you implying i act like a child? Don't say kids these days when you don't know me, i think your the child here..

[mshartz5]

@hormidal

After that reply I stand by my words

[louise22loveyou]

@Hormidal hahaha

[oopsalady]

@Hormidal

screw you, and everything you stand for.

[Deepmindandheartlife]

what a difference to the final one. its now on Steam

[EvilZebra333]

New one is 26585882684838% better

[t3hlinuxp3nguin]

this comment is more interesting than this.. shitty excuse of a game.

[sarpeg1337]

@t3hlinuxp3nguin only because its no shooter or something like that? really get adult

[almu6laq]

@DjordyH the point of this game is to listen to the novel. its a visual novel not a game

[XenicsOG]

@almu6laq if it's not a game, then why is it on steam?

[Coolguyuno1]

@almu6laq It's incredible.

[51674]

@almu6laq so... you can pretty much play this game from youtube...

[Ronek13]

@almu6laq When i am Poland and i am not pro at english its no sense to buy this "Game"

[Capeau]

@almu6laq

you can listen to it right here, so why buy it?

[sechsa]

the graphics are the worse. at least play the new remake!

[shea1066]

and that is why american do not get it.........be cause it is a clever game

[friesiancowboy]

@shea1066

That is so true, americans don't undertand this game so the think it is stupid, when actualy, there the stupid ones...

[shea1066]

this game awsome because it is 100%  british

[FibraseK]

Source Engine

[ArnuxsGaming]

Looks like HL2

[TheEPIChino]

@ArnuxsGaming It's a mod for HL2, are you retarded?

[ArnuxsGaming]

@TheEPIChino U mad bro? I just never heard of it. No need to get mad...

[TheEPIChino]

@ArnuxsGaming True True, my bad, it was just in the description.

[resumil]

sooo ...where's the action?

[mrLegend1989]

GREAT, THANKS, best thing to watch to fall asleep faster

[zarithevill]

Correct me if im wrong, The mod requires half life 2 while the commercial release does not requires half life 2 but it the same story as the mod with better graphics?

[JorawarU]

@zarithevill Precisely. Buy it, now. Right now.

[gtadead]

@zarithevill

much much much much better gfx!

[AzzTheBodymazz]

What?

[ljoch88]

WOW SO FKIN BOOORING

[JorawarU]

@ljoch88 Go back to COD.

[jrasm711]

@JorawarU cods a fish not a game



[AtTheLeftHandOVdaboo]

@ljoch88 You're closed-minded faggot lol

[Hansguckindenhimmel]

looks so damn boring

[Vidyadude]

This is not the new dear esther

[DjordyH]

Whats the point of the game PLEASE ANSWER 

[Preferidos001]

@DjordyH Isnt a game, is poetry. Like the movie The thin Red Line. You do not play like a game. You have to feel it. Amazing music, images and thoughts.

[GustavoMsTrashCan]

@Preferidos001 Exactly.

This game Is for those who enjoys immersion.

[TheSpikeX]

@DjordyH point is to see if people have feelings and it works.. u dont have them

[EngrishSongs]

@DjordyH Escape the island

[Pukawatz]

@DjordyH

Its more of a storybook than a game. A `hike` through the book...

Btw seeing you commented on this 1 day ago in case you didn`t know there is a standalone Dear Esther game released 2 days ago, this is just a mod for HL2. Take a look, even if its not your kind of thing, its the best game up to date imho as far as graphics and game world designs go. Too bad they didn`t add any interaction, any at all, like picking up a flashlight, for it to actually BE a game. Also its <1hour...

[LavendarTown]

@DjordyH To have fun.

[therewillbepain]

@DjordyH It's an interactive art piece, a method of storytelling. There's no objective but to experience the story. The idea is to test new ideas, to develop story telling in videogames in a new direction. Don't expect the game to be especially compelling unless you're into non-linear storytelling communicated in poetic form and riddled with allegories.

[MrNorwegianatheist]

@DjordyH Its a mystic game =)

[AngelDouche66]

@DjordyH To waste your money and pull a "art" stunt

[damnflyer]

@DjordyH nothing really. It's like a piece of art or something. You travel trought the island while listening to the narrator. Graphics are really impressive in final release. Its something like a 3D book.

[CompleteRUW]

@DjordyH

Just walk. Walk for about 60 min and your done.

Its a fun experience you should try it,

[Hodovnik]

@DjordyH what is the point of any art?

[agun17]

@DjordyH

The same point reading a book or watching a film.

[BMSiren]

@DjordyH Thats the point! the answer was right on your eyes yet you were too dumb to catch it while it fucking stopped flowing in the wind just so you can see it.. you dumb idiotic mother tucker!/

[iTooob]

@DjordyH You must play it to understand it, you're figuring out what's happening + reliving a story.

[entyceit]

@DjordyH wait for esthers response.

[Apocalipsa5]

@DjordyH getting to see the end of a nice story

[ID0ntNeedANick]

@DjordyH the point is the story :P

[RedDog360x]

@DjordyH mod*, and its the poetic story, you have to truely enjoy games for what they are to play this mod/game...

[Kidzilla99]

@DjordyH Christianity. Duality in the imagery of Heaven and Hell (reflections in the water of waterfalls going down and up; beautiful to haunting transitions of imagery and color: a.k.a night to dark, blue to red, fields to caves). The narrator's scientific perspective can't figure out/understand the island. Lots more stuff.

It's one of those typical veiled messages of Christianity: of beauty, hope, and faith, but with an ultimately hateful and pitying message towards "nonbelievers."

[TheOverlordPlayer]

@DjordyH whats the point in reading a book or watching a movie?

[MrQuiverPeach]

@DjordyH YOu just have to play it its soo weird

[aRYin2649]

@DjordyH Kill the time.

[squrrilboy]

@DjordyH if you're asking yourself that question the game is obviously not for you.

[Aprince1989]

what A shite game !!

[lewissmallwoods]

DEAR ESTHER THE GAME IS OUT ON STEAM IN 4 HOURS!!!

[Zardice1]

This is the mod not the game that's just released, just so you know.

[Graail7]

so what do you do in this ame...just exploring the island??

[McPfoot]

@Graail7 yes, but theres strong narrative and very nice music and atmosphere.

[drunkenmaster666]

@McPfoot So, there is no objective, perhaps no ending? I like to have some sort of objective at least (get to some point on the island, solve some puzzles), but I may give this game (not the mod) a try... Seems nice.

[TastyThailand]

Sorry, can't hear it. (I'm one of those with quiet speakers :)

[ntnism]

is there some kind of enemies or what?

[omgflowers]

It looks so much better now

[ultimatefacialhair]

this....game?.. looks so boring.

[ILiPsLidE]

I bet you guys that can't hear use laptop speakers :p

[RyanMinaker]

@ILiPsLidE im using my tv and the sound is defiantly quieter then everything else im playing.

[TheItsfly]

reminds me of Amnesia or however it's spelt with the guy talking and been completely open for attack

[RickyAFlores]

Have to listen with head phones

[TheNeonFire7]

No commentary? :(

[MrNinjaManrocks]

this is cool but when do i get a gun?

[ReconSnipe50cal]

i had to put my volume 100% to hear it

[musich13]

i can hear the narrator just fine but when the music is playing it makes it a little difficult since it seems like the music gets louder just as he starts talking. XD

[MrObviouslyJesus]

My volume is at 60% of max and I have no problem hearing anything. Turn it up.

[TreyGuy57]

@MrObviouslyJesus i have to listen to it with head phones. what are u using to watch this video? a mac, ffs?

[Kippydahcamper]

@MrObviouslyJesus I can hear it fine.

[AV8AV95]

@MrObviouslyJesus Hey, guess what? #1: Some speakers are quieter than others; #2: If you record it at a higher volume, people with louder speakers can always turn it down, but those with quieter speakers (like me) can't turn the volume UP past 100%; and #3: it's good you're at least paying attention to the feedback, but doing nothing on the grounds that it's not a problem for you comes across as lazy. Should we not send aid to the Japanese earthquake relief because we didn't have one here?

[kaneisbeastly]

@MrObviouslyJesus Last video was rather quiet but this one seems quite louder.

[Sc0ttPrian]

@MrObviouslyJesus I am viewing the audio on my MOTU 2408, the levels are EXTREMELY low.

[freegamers97]

OMGZ thiz game iz so st00peed OMG what killstreaks you haz in dis gamez ? omg u dont even has a gunz omg hardscoper 

[TheGreatRisik9001]

The music remindes the music on 2girls1cup

[Gobln15]

is it ok if i just dislike and leave without watching?

[FrazerGuy]

I think it's good you removed the commentary, nothing against you or your commentary abilities but like I saw your comment on your previous video, it might of ruined the mood/atmosphere.

[MrFlunkorg]

@FrazerGuy I have to agree. It was a good decision to leave out his commentary. It would have just ruined the atmosphere, which is fantastic by the way.

[MrStone125]

@MrTeTop

No it's not~

[Tasproductions]

@MrFlunkorg I have my headphones in and can hear it fine. Just turn them up.

[Tasproductions]

@MrFlunkorg Well, if I can hear it fine, with AND without headphones, but you can't hear it with either, then there's something wrong here.

[kdbooth97]

too hard to watch without commentary. sorry :(

[PersonWhoEatsPumkins]

*inserts random stupid youtube quote*

*gets ridicualed by mrobvioslyjesus*

[meuske95]

@PersonWhoEatsPumkins *corrects your grammar, "if you want to be taken seriously, you better spell correctly"* :)

[PersonWhoEatsPumkins]

@meuske95 point was to not be taken seriosly :)

[meuske95]

@PersonWhoEatsPumkins I know :D

[TehJumboJet]

I love watching a video before the thumbnail even renders :D

[gmeggj]

@TehJumboJet So do I. I watching video and waiting that when the thumbnail scene will going on.

[alexis327100]

i can barely hear shit wtf

[MrStone125]

@alexis327100

Turn your volume up, I can hear it just fine...a bit too loud actually o3o

[Mint758]

2st

[Nonviolence1]

@Mint758 2st? did you really just say 2st....?

[Mint758]

@Nonviolence1 Dude, i was ironic...

[Fimbultyvr]

@Mint758 That is not irony. I suggest you look up what irony means.

[Mint758]

@Fimbultyvr I suggest you stop talking about some not important shit like this, i mean i was just joking man, relax o.O Are you some 40 year old man who cant take a joke, or.....?

[Fimbultyvr]

@Mint758 The joke is not important. What is important is that you used "irony" wrong.

[guitarherothre]

@Mint758 LULBRO YOU DUMB

[bumrang]

@Mint758 thats not irony...
