The Doomed Dog
  • 5/26/2025
Hey everyone. Holy crap it has been quite some time since the last time Dalton and I recorded any Let's Play episodes. I am soprry about that. Real life got in the way a lot with the move and things that followed. I talked about this in the Star Wars Day video, and I get into it here as well. Well, we did finish Dead Space 2 in this recording session. I will be following this up with a video review of this game, and the next Let's Play will be a coop playthrough of Halo 2. I hope you all are looking forward to that. I am finally able to work on the Playstation 2 retrospective video, as well. Thanks for watching. I hope you emjoy.

The song at the end is Merciless Slaughter by Amputation.

Transcript
00:00None of the earlier parts of this let's play had me struggling nearly as much as I have
00:10with this guy.
00:16Fuck.
00:25I should have gotten healing items back at that shop and I didn't.
00:41That's minor healing.
00:56And there's the thing again.
01:26I should have gotten healing items back at that shop and I didn't.
01:56I should have gotten healing items back at that shop and I didn't.
02:26God damn.
02:33Oh my god.
02:38Okay, this is going to be a pain in the ass.
02:43I'm actually kind of excited for that.
02:46It's like a whole new generation, a whole new group of people are going to experience
02:50the first Gears for the first time.
02:55Which is cool.
02:57Oh yeah.
02:59People that never had an Xbox, you know.
03:13It also means that the multiplayer is going to be active again, which I can't wait to
03:16try that out for the first time ever.
03:18Oh my god, I never played the multiplayer.
03:23They always looked fun.
03:24I mean, I used to play like Deathmatch, like split screen with my friend years ago, but
03:28that was about it.
03:48Oh my god.
04:08Oh my god.
04:37Oh my god.
04:52I wouldn't be struggling nearly as much if it weren't for this fucking regenerating asshole.
05:00And I don't have a way of like, like I can't freeze them like you can in the first game.
05:11Like that's how you deal with them in the first game, remember?
05:14Yeah.
05:15Oh yeah.
05:43Oh my god.
05:58I try to pay attention to the guys in front of me and then this guy comes up from behind.
06:16How do you move so fast with one limb?
06:45Oh my god.
07:14Oh my god.
07:43Fuck you little baby monster thing, whatever you're called.
07:56I don't, I don't remember what the fuck.
08:00It's a natural move.
08:29I don't know.
08:32I don't have healing!
08:43You could throw those things at him and slow him down.
08:48There's healing!
08:49If I can get by this guy.
09:17Oh my god.
09:46Oh my gosh, every single room.
10:01What the fuck?
10:10Every single room is a struggle right now.
10:13Holy shit.
10:17I don't remember it being this fun.
10:41Did I reach another checkpoint?
10:43Please tell me I reached another checkpoint.
10:50I don't remember it being this bad either.
11:15I don't remember it being this bad either.
11:43I don't remember it being this bad either.
12:12What the fuck?
12:18I don't remember it being this bad.
12:22Holy shit.
12:23I don't remember it being this relentless.
12:26When I played it years ago on Playstation 3.
12:55I don't remember it being this relentless.
13:24I don't remember it being this relentless.
13:51I don't remember it being this relentless.
13:59To anyone who may find this transmission, there are people, even some of my own staff,
14:05who say I am a monster for what I brought on this station.
14:09They say Market is manipulative.
14:19That it influences my decisions.
14:22They don't understand what I did.
14:27I did it for the community, for our species.
14:30Titan Station was a dead husk before I breathed life back into it.
14:38With government research grants that research into unimaginable sources of energy,
14:47into manufacturing techniques and efficiency,
14:51far beyond any previous understanding,
14:54is the only hope that remains for mankind.
14:58We have relied on destructive planet cracking for far too long.
15:04And now we can no longer sustain ourselves.
15:08We need markers to survive.
15:10If we fail in our efforts to understand them,
15:15there is no hope for humanity.
15:30Okay, I think I reached another checkpoint.
15:33I think that's what this is.
15:36I hope that's what this is, because boy is this shit relentless.
15:47Oh, save point, that's a good sign.
15:59I've actually been streaming the PC version of Gears of War.
16:02I've got a physical copy of the PC version.
16:12How are the graphic options in it?
16:16It's about what you'd expect for the time.
16:19I mean, it looks sharper, runs at a higher resolution,
16:23and better framerate than its console counterpart.
16:32Okay.
16:43Does it get above 60 FPS on it?
16:46Yeah, it runs at 60.
16:48I think...
16:49Okay.
16:58I read somewhere that for some reason the max framerate it allows
17:03straight out of the box is 62, which is weird.
17:09Yeah.
17:14Holy lens flare.
17:19We just lost!
17:30What the fuck just happened?
17:41What the fuck was that?
17:50Three sections and marker is worth every life we just lost!
18:06I won't let you throw all this away!
18:12Okay, this time I...
18:16Yeah, eat that, asshole.
18:20Okay.
18:28There.
18:32Just fucking shoot me, you prick.
18:47Dead GF.
18:50What?
18:55It's like one of those survival horror games.
19:01Yep, he's part of Dead's significant other gang, along with...
19:08Soundhole 2.
19:09Yeah, and The Suffering.
19:12The Suffering.
19:14We're going to be more general, just a guy searching for his...
19:17some girl of any relation.
19:20Like Soundhole 1.
19:25Isn't one of the Resident Evils like that?
19:287.
19:297, yeah.
19:33And 8, and also Village, yeah.
19:36Yeah.
19:38I didn't like Village quite as much as 7.
19:46They're two very different...
19:47Like, I think they're very different kinds of games.
19:49I mean, RE7 is more traditional survival horror,
19:53and Village is like a crossbreed between RE4 and 7.
19:58I mean, I like what Village did.
20:00Like, I like that the enemies are really cool,
20:03like the leveling up system is cool and whatnot,
20:06and the weapons are cool,
20:07and the open world aspect of it where the areas are unlocked
20:10each time you do different things.
20:13But, yeah, 7 as like a horror game is pretty damn solid.
20:18Yeah.
20:20I just wish there was more enemy variety.
20:23Yeah, that would be nice.
20:26I think that those sections suck too.
20:28That's another thing about 7.
20:33What?
20:47What on earth is going on?
20:50Aaaaaaaaaah!
20:57Oh, shit!
21:01What the fuck just happened?
21:06Oh, she's an instakill.
21:10I am so...
21:13Yeah, she's an instakill enemy.
21:17I am...
21:18What the fuck is going on?
21:48What the fuck?
22:19Okay, so they give me ammo.
22:23Oh, shit.
22:30Move!
22:35Move, Isaac!
22:40Okay, nope.
22:45I failed.
22:50Let's try that again.
23:20Oh, shit.
23:50Screw you, weird creepy children enemies.
24:20Did I do it?
24:30She didn't grab me this time.
24:40Isaac.
24:47Isaac!
24:49What are you doing?
24:53Oh, this is a cutscene, okay.
25:00Okay, this is a cutscene.
25:05Is that the final boss?
25:06Is that what I just fought?
25:14What's up, buddy?
25:15Yeah, I can't remember.
25:29I don't...
25:30Obviously, he doesn't die at the end because Dead Space 3 happens.
25:35But...
25:36Wow.
25:37I don't remember.
25:43Pretty easy final boss.
25:49I don't remember that at all.
25:52I don't remember...
25:53It's been so long since I've played this, I don't remember much about it.
26:06Okay, so she comes and gets us.
26:08We need to survive this game, okay.
26:22Uh...
26:23Uh...
26:24Are you...
26:28Oh, I'm controlling again.
26:43There, okay.
26:44I didn't realize...
26:45I thought I was still in the cutscene.
26:52Don't just stare at the explosion, Isaac, shut the hatch!
27:20I think I beat it.
27:21I think that was it.
27:23Yep.
27:34What?
27:40He's looking over there like, I remember how I escaped the last one and I got attacked
27:45by my dead girlfriend, so...
27:48I don't trust you over here, lady.
27:56That took 29 parts to get through in total.
27:59I'm a little bit surprised it took us that long.
28:03How much was the first one?
28:06Good question.
28:07I'd have to double check.
28:08I don't remember off the top of my head.
28:14This was fun to replay.
28:16It really was.
28:18I don't think it's as scary as the first one, though.
28:20I think the first one's more memorable.
28:23Yeah, definitely.
28:25But this is a good sequel, definitely.
28:27Now, the third one, I've never played before, and I have heard not-so-good things about.
28:34Yeah.
28:35I mean, that being said, I still can't wait to play it.
28:38I think it's going to be really interesting.
28:40Yeah, I'm looking forward to doing that with you in F.E.A.R. 3 as well.
28:45I do want to go back to F.E.A.R. at some point in the future, after we beat F.E.A.R. 3, and
28:52I want to Let's Play the episode, the two expansion packs to the first F.E.A.R.
29:00They're non-canon, so we're going to do them after we get the canon stuff out of the way,
29:05which is F.E.A.R. 3, which we'll co-op through, which I'm actually excited about.
29:10Yeah.
29:11I've never played them before.
29:13We'll get to that sometime after we get to Halo 2, which will be next.
29:18There's going to be a review of this, and then there's going to be Halo 2.
29:23And then I need to get my PlayStation 2 in here and start working on a retrospective.
29:28The retrospective on the PlayStation 2 isn't going to be just a review.
29:33I don't need to tell you guys that the PlayStation 2 is good.
29:36All of you know the PlayStation 2 is good.
29:38It's got an unbelievably legendary library of killer games, and I feel like everybody
29:47who is a gamer nowadays probably has that one kind of obscure game that they love from
29:53the PlayStation 2 that they played when they were in high school or middle school or whatever
29:57that nobody else knows about, you know?
30:00Oh, yeah.
30:01I think everybody's got a game like that for that system, just because it's got such a
30:06massive library.
30:08Some of them good ones were bound to go under the radar.
30:14Yeah, I love the Haunted Mansion game on the PS2.
30:19It's based on the Disney ride.
30:20It came out at the same time as the movie.
30:22Eternal Poison is mine.
30:25It is a little-known turn-based strategy RPG.
30:31For the PS2.
30:34It's a little unfamiliar.
30:37It was fun.
30:38I liked it.
30:41It had a really cool-
30:42I think I saw a picture.
30:43What?
30:44I think I saw a picture of what the game looks like.
30:46I probably have seen it before.
30:49It had a really cool talking wolf with antlers as one of the playable characters.
30:55Characters controlled in battle.
31:01Oh, that character.
31:04I see.
31:05You found him?
31:07Yeah, I looked it up.
31:08Yeah.
31:09Yeah.
31:10It's pretty cool, man.
31:11I liked it.
31:12And, like, fucking nobody's ever heard of it.
31:15That almost kind of looks like a PS1 game.
31:18Yeah, I'm going to talk to Indie Timmy, see if he's still up to do that video with me,
31:24because I was originally planning on doing that video as a co-op with him.
31:30But he's had some personal things in his life,
31:33and he's kind of gotten sort of away from doing YouTube videos more recently
31:40because of some personal things that have gone on in his life.
31:43So I want to see if he's still up to doing that with me.
31:54So you guys can look forward to a review of this.
31:57Co-op playthrough of Halo 2, which is his first time playing it.
32:03So that should be fun.
32:06Oh, yeah.
32:07I mean, I heard nothing but good things about this game ever since it came out.
32:10Yeah.
32:11Halo 2 is, I mean, I do have some issues with it.
32:17But all in all, I think it's a better game than the first one,
32:20and it really ramps up the storytelling quite a bit.
32:28Is it also harder, too, than the first one?
32:34On Legendary, yes, definitely,
32:36because the jackal snipers are bullshit,
32:43because they will one-shot you,
32:45and you will get stuck in loops when you try to play it on Legendary
32:49where you will go through a door and get sniped instantly
32:54by a jackal sniper on the other side of the room,
33:00far off enough that you don't even know where the fuck he is.
33:04So it's like, go through the door,
33:06checkpoint right before the door,
33:08enter the door, die.
33:10Reload, enter the door, die.
33:12Over and over and over again.
33:17Sounds like fun.
33:19Yeah, people usually recommend not playing it on Legendary because of that.
33:28I like how veteran it is in the old Call of Duty games.
33:31Yeah, it is.
33:33Like, Legendary Halo 3 is way more balanced than it,
33:38because it is bullshit in Halo 2.
33:43You know, that was originally supposed to have...
33:45The original game was supposed to have stenciled shadows,
33:48and I didn't know this at the time,
33:50because I always thought there was something off
33:54about the graphics in Halo 2 for the original Xbox, that version.
34:00Now, the Anniversary Edition looks fucking amazing,
34:04but the original difference, something always looked off about it,
34:07and I didn't know what it was until I watched a video talking about
34:11the lighting and how it was supposed to have stenciled shadows,
34:14which are very precise, dark shadows...
34:20Yeah.
34:21...of different things in the environment.
34:23And I was like,
34:25okay, it makes more sense now.
34:30That's what was off about it.
34:33They didn't...
34:34Either they couldn't implement it because of the limited power
34:37of the console generation at the time,
34:40or they ran out of time,
34:43because they wound up crunching pretty hard
34:46toward the end of that game's...
34:52...development cycle,
34:53and had to cut like a third of what was planned for the game.
34:58There was a lot of fucking cut content in Halo 2.
35:05Some of it was reused in Halo 3.
35:08Others was...
35:10Others was just cut and never put back into the series.
35:26At some point, I need to do a video review,
35:29a lengthy analysis-type video review on Halo Wars 2.
35:35I owned that one, and I haven't done it yet.
35:43That'll come eventually. I just don't know when.
35:49And I need to do Halo Infinite,
35:51because I haven't even played the Halo Infinite at all.
35:54Like, I haven't played its campaign or its multiplayer.
36:00I played some of the multiplayer. It was pretty fun.
36:03And people really liked it at first,
36:05and gradually turned on it over time,
36:07and I don't really know why.
36:12And I can't remember either.
36:14I...
36:17wish these credits would hurry up,
36:18because I really have to pee.
36:22It's really long.
36:25But...
36:27I have heard some good things about Halo 2's campaign, at least.
36:33Halo Infinite's campaign, at least.
36:36I've heard a lot of the levels are pretty good.
36:40I'm curious about it. I want to try it.
36:47It's cool that the multiplayer is free, at least.
36:49Yeah.
36:50That's the only reason why I played it.
36:52You played on PC or console?
36:55PC.
36:57Yeah.
36:59I want to try... Have you tried the new Doom yet?
37:03No, but I'm about to.
37:07One of these days.
37:09Yeah, my birthday is coming up on the 9th.
37:12And if I don't get it for my birthday,
37:14and fucking everybody knows me,
37:15everybody knows I want it for my damn birthday.
37:18But if I don't get it for my birthday,
37:20I am getting it with birthday money.
37:22One of those two things is going to happen.
37:24Yeah.
37:30I heard it's like the least selling Doom game on Steam.
37:36Yeah.
37:40I think between PS5 and PC, it has not sold a million yet.
37:45Now, it's got over 3 million players, is what they said.
37:51Which, in this case, means a whole lot of people played it through Game Pass.
38:01Yeah, that's true.
38:05I think that was true largely of the new Assassin's Creed as well.
38:15Yeah.
38:17With the controversial black samurai.
38:21Yeah.
38:23It was a minor footnote in Japanese history.
38:26But let's make a game about him,
38:28because some guy lied his ass off and wrote a book about it.
38:36No, seriously, that was a big source of information.
38:41Some guy wrote a book where he just flat out made shit up about Yosuke.
38:48That turned out to be a source,
38:49and he was exposed as a fraud,
38:51and he kind of disappeared from the internet after that.
38:55Wow.
38:58Yeah.
39:10Nothing survived this, sir.
39:12Marker site 12 is a total loss.
39:15Pity.
39:16Recall all flights and return to base.
39:19The other sites will have to pick up the pieces.
39:25You must save your progress to unlock. Okay.
39:36Prototype suit unlock.
39:39New elite suit.
39:41Version security suit.
39:42Variants unlocked.
39:43New game plus.
39:44Look for new items in stores.
39:46Schematics lost.
39:47Sprawl to get access to experimental technology.
39:52Hardcore mode.
39:53So that'll be even harder.
39:55New game plus.

40:01Please like, comment, subscribe.
40:04If you could share this video, that would help us out a lot as well.
