Let's Play The Suffering - Ties That Bind: Prologue (Part 1)

[TheChristhecat]

I think u can get this game on pc for free now!~

[TheIlovemhard]

sucks that you arent really talking funny and witty comments are the best

[rob123412345]

why is it first person

[DylanTheVillyn]

Such a letdown game, it felt unfinished and complicated to me, though I enjoyed the first one very much.

[CTW461]

@DylanTheVillyn i dont think its unfinished at all, great graphics for its time, great gameplay, and great choices and how it effects the game.

[DylanTheVillyn]

@CTW461

I don't disagree, what I am talking about are some of the bugs and glitches that can end your game or corrupt saves, it happens with every game but these could easily have been fixed with some testing.

[CTW461]

@DylanTheVillyn yeah, i do agree with that.

[majorgunnyJR]

um like how did this outbreak happen the monsters or what

[xMemoryLanex]

So it's pretty much like the first one? Just remade to look better?

[CTW461]

@xMemoryLanex no, its a whole different game taking place after the first one, this level is just a flashback.

[Mendosa666]

Hey what systems are this game on? Cause this game looks awesome but I can't find it at any stores...

[AngstAndAvarice]

@Mendosa666 I was playing the PC version in this video. It also came out on both Xbox and PS2 I believe. Amazon has some copies for sale for ~$15.

[xboxboi4444]

@Mendosa666 its on pc, ps2, and the xbox



[stickfigureabuse1290]

i love how in jails they let them WORK OUT AND GET STRONGER *hint hint*

[marioman361]

WTF HE TALKS!!!!!???? HEY EVERYONE!!!!! TORQUE FUCKIN TALKSSS!!!!HS!!!

[butterfree291]

@marioman361 I HAD THE SAME REACTION!

[kpetah123]

blackmore is voiced by Michael Duncan!

his voice is cool!

[TheMasterofsun14]

way cook at 6:12. Does this game have 3rd person view like the last suffering?

[AngstAndAvarice]

@TheMasterofsun14 It's been a while since I played, but I'm almost certain it does. As I recall there's a keybind to switch back and forth between 1st and 3rd person perspective at any point during the game. I always played in 1st person -- I felt that sacrificing some FoV was worth the increased scare factor...

[FLASHANIMATOR402]

@TheMasterofsun14 yes it does

[Deathwolf559]

@TheMasterofsun14 it does you can chose from 3rd or 1st like the first suffering

[mantis1mike]

@TheMasterofsun14 ya it does except when you get knocked down (of course i only played the demo) ex: impale charge by slayer. pounced onor grappled. blown up.die.

[TheMasterofsun14]

oh god does this game rock!!!!! i used to own the first suffering, which was badass enough, but i've never seen ties that bind. Silent Hill ain't got shit on Suffering!!!

[worldwartra]

bloody freaken  game

[Bigsmoke6677]

why u playn in first person

[AngstAndAvarice]

@Bigsmoke6677 Because it's scarier?

[waluigiland]

WAIT!SO THIS IS ACTUALLY PART 1?!?

.......this happened must have happened before torque went to that island ...wouldint this be the 1st time he been to prison?.....then in carnate its the 2ed.......wherre can i get this download for PC plz tell me

[AngstAndAvarice]

@waluigiland Ties That Bind is a sequel to the first Suffering game, but the first 'prologue' level (the one that's shown in this video) is flashback, showing Torque's time at 'Eastern' (a prison Torque was incarcerated at before Carnate, referenced to by Dallas in the original game).

[Yelkwood9]

MANN it was weird to see torque get his ass kicked..

i mean..

i look at torque as almost a super hero in strength and abilities.. hes an unstoppable killing machine in the first suffering.. this is just weird lol

[Eggmanslittlehelper1]

Omg. Torque just talked. Well hes not a silent protagonist anymore I see

[xboxandpcuser]

7:17

Reference to the first game.

heh,guard in locker

[jilloplo]

Is third person perspective in this game?

[jilloplo]

Torque speaks! I thought he was mute after the first.

[thething91]

man this games' graphics are more gory than that of manhunt XD.

[sipanator]

I have a problem with my game graphics ( not a big one but still I know that it isn't supposed to be like that ) objects light up when I turn to them or just randomly and the others are still dark. It's nothing big but still is there a possible way to fix this? I have all the requirements - graph card and everything else, it works tough I would like to fix it somehow. Thanks

[AngstAndAvarice]

I hate to ask this and risk insulting your intelligence, but are you sure it's not just Torque's flashlight?

[sipanator]

Man, believe me my intelligence is high enough to know that isn't his flashlight! :D I will try and maybe make a video so you see what is the problem.

[sipanator]

And I see that some things here aren't in my game, like the red light when going down the stairs, some lights are missing where they should be etc. My graphics card is fine ( 64mb :D ) but anyway I need only 32 here. Please help me if anybody got a idea how to fix this.

[lygerxero]

the random flashes later in the first game scared the shit outta me

[S3cr3tSu1c1d3]

ive got the xbox version now

[matrixlone]

gameplay reminds me of silent hill 5

[S3cr3tSu1c1d3]

Is torque black or white? His wife and kids are black

[Halfer1]

White.

[sipanator]

It was told when he met that Jewish nigga. He said something about a white man killing some neegros or something like that.

[AngstAndAvarice]

Torque's racial identity is deliberately kept ambiguous. The developers have specifically stated that they tried to model him as a generic 'cro-magnon man'. It is really immaterial to the story. I don't know what information Halfer1 is privy to but I have never seen any evidence that would lead me to the conclusion that Torque is Caucasian. Since Torque's evil side (Blackmore) is clearly African-American then one could reasonably conclude Torque is black (or perhaps simply extremely racist).

[AngstAndAvarice]

As an aside, in the upcoming movie adaptation of the series, Chiwetel Ejiofor, a clearly black actor, is announced to be playing Torque.

[Tighen31305]

@AngstAndAvarice

Gross.

Live action wouldn't be a good thing for The Suffering movie, I'd rather it be in animation. Hollywood has to destroy something sacred...AGAIN!

[Kieran84ire]

Is this footage from the PS2 version?

[tbohn90]

No, it's from the PC.

[ioport]

Horrible voice acting ruins both the Suffering games.

[AngstAndAvarice]

I could not disagree more, especially put against other games in the survival horror genre (Silent Hill, Resident Evil, etc).

[ioport]

Yeah, but nerds have no taste at all, so they overlook or don't notice the bad voice acting. I'm not saying this to be an asshole, just being honest.

[AngstAndAvarice]

I don't see what 'nerds' have to do with anything. What I meant by my comment was that if you were going to Criticize the Suffering for bad voice acting, you would would also have criticize the other games I mentioned, because by all metrics they have significantly 'worse' voice acting (and yet are still exceptional games because of/in spite of this). The great thing about audio is that if you somehow feel it 'ruins' the game you can always turn it down/off.

[ioport]

I do criticize all the other games for their shitty voice aciting.

[ELHURACAN58]

This is the first or second one?

[WrldRvltn]

Second

[Synue]

Torque does sound like blackmore i never noticed that lol till i watched it again.

[bigdaddy1869]

i always thought he imagined all this..all the chaos is because of the prisonners who escaped..but he sees them as monsters..

[nogaynamesallowed]

Nope, the monsters are real. The only thing torque imagines is his metamorphasis. Dr Killjoy made the diagnosis on him, but other than the whole 'creature' thing, everything is real.

[thennite23]

this game is not scary

[DaveyMcBu]

I just cannot beat Blackmore in the final scene of this game...he absolutely thrashes me every time! Love both games though, they're amongth my favourites but for some reason are very under-rated...does anyone know if a The Suffering 3 is planned?

[Portilloizay]

Hit him when your a monster.

[PikolUploader]

nah, this game doesnt scare me a bit. silent hill, now that a scarry game ; o

[blueguy15]

this game scared me to the point where i just cut it off but now i want to try it again but the part where this boy runs up to you and then this giant creature pops up is really scary which is why i love this game!

[bOycHiLL]

Those monsters represent various kind of human torture that is too common in the street of Baltimore(Torque's hometown).

[bOycHiLL]

This is a most scariest game ever seen. Worst than Resident Evil. The monsters is extremely weird. =(

[bOycHiLL]

Wow!AngstAndAvarice, u are really very good in this gaming. But after u completed the games, there is a white letter. What is that?

[ReneeNme]

Just got the game and just started the "Denial Of The Fittest" area.Geez this game is creepy.And here I thought the first one was odd(in a creep~fest kind of way).OK..back to playing.This time with the lights out.

[aigaleada]

Hey guys do you know if suffering ties that bind also comes out for pc or only for PS2?

[ReneeNme]

I don't think "The Suffering" is aigaleada,but "The Suffering:Ties That Bind" is avaiable for PC.eBay my friend!!Buy it,buy it,buy it.Fun!!

[AngstAndAvarice]

Both of the Suffering games are available for the PS2, the Xbox, and PC, to the best of my knowledge. I am playing the PC version of Ties That Bind in these videos.

[paxtofettel]

cool torque talks

[bOycHiLL]

Where does the monster come from???

[H2oW]

i finish the first episode but i don'y now LOL

i think he come from hell

[AngstAndAvarice]

The origin of the creatures in The Suffering games is never really explained. They are all symbolic of various kinds of human torture and abuse that have have existed through out time (Slayers represent beheadings, Marksmen/Triggermen are an obvious referrence to gun violence, The mainliners a more ambiguous reference death by lethal injection or perhaps drug abuse). How they have come to exist in the mortal realm, centered around Torque's story in particular is something of a mystery.

[semillasdelorto]

Hey men! IM STUCK NOW!!! its actually after this part of the game, when he get outy of that room and thar girl is crying u know, and i open the door this two beast exploited and thats it, i get trap in that place. The fella is up and he says " I GO CLEAR THE WAY!" or somthin like that, and he just stay in there ... If you can help me i apreciate :)

[rafi587]

so am i he gets stuck in the stairs how the hell do you get past that part

[dogking708]

did you completed this game?

[AngstAndAvarice]

Ever? Yes, I beat Ties That Bind when it first came out, but if you mean in this video documented playthrough, no I never completed it. Due to a rash of recent comments, I've decided to upload the rest of the TTB videos to youtube and may resurrect the project in the not too distant future.

[Tiparow]

So.. Ties That Bind is a prequel or a sequel to Prison Is Hell? Because i dont remember Torque going to another prison after the other game ends. Oo

[AngstAndAvarice]

Ties That Bind is a sequel to the original title. If beginning seems anachronistic to you it might be because you got a different ending on your playthrough of the original. If you play Ties That Bind on PS2 or Xbox with completed Save data from the original game, it will read that data to figure out which ending you got and modify the opening sequence in Ties That Bind accordingly.

[villamor2000]

I had both games they where creepy,,,,, AND I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!

[ShinigamiKyuku]

Ohh Now I Understand The First Suffering Cause When you Get The Good Ending You Se Torque Never Killed Her It was Blackmores Crew :D~!!!

[handtrembler]

This is exactly what a game play video should be!! Thx =)

[9876543219876]

1 am stuck when he gets home? what do i do?

[AngstAndAvarice]

I assume you're talking about the level 'The Hardest Homecoming' where Torque goes back to his apartment. If I remember correctly, you just have to go into his bedroom and get a few notes out of the closest, and then go into the bathroom for a cutscene. Dr. Killjoy should then appear on the TV in the living room.

[conker504]

thats bullshit he gan leave that man behind

[olympiangod1234]

weird but this game is scary, and at the same time its not scary Hmm....

[olympiangod1234]

man this is pretty freaky i may start screamin like a little girl

[CarbonProductions]

i like how this is placed in baltimore. the game has a good dialogue. but well kind of hard they dont like point you to where you have to go to get outa like a dead end area.

[whiteknight35]

is the guy who play's tourqes voice the same guy who plays blackmores voice?

[AngstAndAvarice]

Hmmm... You may be onto something there... ;)

[caroldia]

HMMMMMMMMM........

[CarbonProductions]

probably is.

[olympiangod1234]

torque kind of sounds like TC Carson to me and i no 4 a fact that blackmore's voice is michael clarke duncan but they may be the same guy

[chriboy]

Blackmore AND Torque is supposed to be the same like Blackmore is Torque and Torque is Blackmore. Watch the bad endind, i think it is, and you see that Torque is Blackmore.

[komododragosh]

Well,Torque doesn't talk much,so I can't tell.

[Reptile125]

i only have the demo of the second game i would get if there were no sexual themes

[AngstAndAvarice]

What's wrong with Sexual Themes?

[Reptile125]

Iam not really sure. i know what sex is but my parents don't want me to get games with it but yet i see movies with sex in it like 300 i guess my parents don't want me to see alot of sex because they probaly think iam going to look at porn. but some games marked sexual themes i want to get like that prdator video game or metal gear solid 3 which only has a lot of kissing and solid snake staring a t boobs

[026853]

hhahahaha merry Christmas man

[flaviusdon]

verry cool man....

[blueguy15]

thanks man!
