A History of Walking

I want episode to please I like so much this drama..��❤❤��how to watch this drama…

44:00 mina is so cute ��
54:46 oh hahaa (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
1:05:24 (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

where you get this video its so hard to find the another ep ��

Great video I am looking forward to what you’ll do in the future

Just one thing for the future video about Controversy in games journalism aka “Gamergate”: I hope you adress that it was used as a scapegoat to justifiy harassment of women. A lot of the things said about for example Quinn were disproven and people still use it as an excuse to hate on sarkesian. Say what you want about how for example she obtained some footage for her videos, but she pointed out things that were (still are) wrong with potrayal of women in video games.

It’s more beautiful if have 16 episode but the ending is so very disgusting how about the pther girl

عفاكم فين غادي نقلا هاد المسلسل كامل عفاكم ممكن مساعدة بليززز

Hi there. I found your video on reddit and left you some comments regarding the quality of it.

Nicely done.

i have been on youtube for 4 years now and this is the best video i have ever seen here ❤️

Can someone please tell me how many episodes this drama has?

I might be in the minority here but I’m glad mina confessed to him at the end because now she can move on with her life because even though he smiled at her confession he really doesn’t deserve her as a gf I mean he was so insensitive to her feelings when they were friends and he took her for granted on many occasions. I’m 100% sure that he knew how she felt about him she practically wore her heart on her sleeve I’m glad she called him out when he put her on the spot it made him realise how much of a shitty friend he was to her and how often he ignored her feelings (literally the only time when he asked her about herself is when he was trying to get an answer from her about jayeon) so to me if you can’t treat your friends with basic respect then how should I expect you to treat me with it???

IF I CANT HAVE BYEON WOOSEOK CAN I JUST HAVE THE PROFESSOR AT 43:12

I also like my best friend for a long time but he ended up finding someone before i could even tell him

I liked the facts i hated how the narrorator of this vidio tries to be entertaining. And the anoying repeditive pictures of the animay guy

I’d be interested to know what your thoughts on the Last Guardian are.

Great job!
I had a pleasure of watching walking simulator genre born and grow in front of my eyes unlike most other big cool genres, that i learned by essays in journals mostly and i need to say couple of things to you.
Firstly, thank you for that brief, but finely paced video. Big props to you.
Secondly, first time an acclaimed game in this genre effectively tried montage technics in telling a story is Gravity Bone and it`s successor Thirty Flights of Loving. It is really minimal in time consuming and rich in impact, so i wholeheartedly reccomend it to you.
Thirdly, you have footage of Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons, that`s hardly a walking simulator, sprinkled all over the video, but not even mentioned Begginer`s Guide (maybe it will be in your depression video? I am still discovering your work). But i really approve your stance on the Dr. Langeskov (with Stanley Parable included, it is the holy trinity of games-as-contemporary-art-for-everyone-in-need-of-understanding for my taste).
Finally, i trule believe (as i tried both ways naturally) that playing this stories actively is vastly more satisfying expirience than watching it. There are GAMES after all. Yes, they truly are.

And i hope you already played What Remains of Edith Finch, that came out only couple of monts after this video.
Thank you!

“I want to do let’s plays… however there’s not a lot that I can personally bring to the table” 1) Your pleasant voice, 2) I think you’d provide a calm (vicarious?) experience for the people watching. I feel like there’s value in hearing someone who typically tries to be impartial in their videos get emotionally attached to and remove themselves of that analytical aspect of their thought process. In any case, it’s literally been a year since you’ve posted anything and I’m still out hoping that you’ll start making let’s plays, given it would be something you enjoy.

This is the first video of his I’ve ever watched, I like looking back at this one and appreciate everything he’s taught me through his videos. It’s truly amazing the videos Sid makes and I hope he’s doing well. (If you see this I appreciate you and the work you put into your videos)

his voice is like so soothing and just could fall to sleep, hearing him say beautiful medium over and over again

yeah, I pretty enjoyed this but…
WHERE IS JAZZPUNK?!?!

you sexy voice

I wouldn’t mind watching you play games. You seem to have very interesting views on them and I would be interested to see how it blends with actually playing them.
I have some suggestions for some walking sims if you’re interested in playing them sometime (not on youtube, just in general): What remains of Edith Finch and The Beginners Guide.
I found them interesting anyway, and though I can’t say the same about you, I’d at least watch a playthrough.

Thanks for the spoiler alert in the beginning of the video, much appreciated. For that, and your pleasant voice, you just gained yourself a new subscriber. I hope you will make more videos soon. Have a nice day!

Excellent video! I think you may have been a bit dismissive of Virginia, howeverthrough all the confusion and acid trips, there is actually some there there.

I wrote about it here, if you’re interested. https://caneandrinse.com/interactivity-agency-institutional-oppression/
If not, also fine! Still a great vid.

Another that may be worth including is Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture. The environment and music are both gorgeous and immersive. The story is told at a slow pace (mostly due to the movement speed-even while sprinting), but it really gives you a chance to take in the world and explore each of the characters.

I can’t really say i grew up with telltale games but since the walking dead i started to play every game because of their story choices and characters relationships

Great video. One of my favorite discussions to have around games is their unique storytelling capacities and how they can do things that other mediums can’t.
Two excellent examples of story through mechanics that come to mind are Journey and Celeste. Journey has relatively simple gameplay, but it’s engaging enough that it can convey a variety of emotional beats (whether through joyfully sliding, sneaking past dangerous areas, flying freely through the environment, or through slow slogs that convey hardship).
Celeste uses its tough but fair challenge, as well as its dynamic music and even its abstract feeling pixel art to make you feel like you’re experiencing Madeline’s journey right there with her. It’s also one of the most powerful experiences I’ve ever had with any medium.
Contrast that with another game, RiME, that appears to be similar to Journey on a surface level, but it just wasn’t that engaging to play. I considered giving up on it several times, but I’m glad I managed to pull through. The game has a beautiful, emotional, and touching story and work of art buried within it, but its mechanics did it no favors. It also could have been a small fraction of its length, and may even have been better told as a short film. It was an excellent study in what it is about a game that can make for effective storytelling, and where it might fall flat.

I’m addicted to your videos. The editing combined with your voice is impeccable

I have never played a walking simulator video game but because of your video I want to know so I am trying that free one that you suggested as the best one I really hope that they get better at making them but I love the concept of them thank you for this video I really appreciate it:)

My favorite is Dear Esther for it’s amazing atmosphere, but there is also one game that i reall y loved “What remains of Edith Finch” very interesting story, something similar to gone home, but there are also amazing interactive bits and unique humor mixed with sometimes dark theme it’s just a roller coaster of emotions, really recommend it.

Fantastic video, thanks for posting. Insta-subbed too. I think I’ve found my new game genre, being somewhat embarrassed in the free time availability department myself, too. Your videos do a great job of filling the epoch-spanning voids between MrBtongue’s output

I’d like to throw up the footnote all on it’s own, that games and let’s plays are free in the same way that this youtube video is free.
This kind of experience is kind of in a bubble.

The CH in machismo should be pronounced as the CH in cheating.

Most favourite is Firewatch, followed by Maize. If they count as walking simulators, then the entire Myst series.

What is the instrument sarah is playing at the end? Looks like a modified accordion, but I cant tell…

Dammnit I was thinking about making this video for ages. Good Job. It’s a very good way to talk about the medium and ask some nice basic concepts about the medium like what constitutes a ‘game’. I was considering going off on one about Mountain, and also probs a bit about reaching for some junk to do with origins of stuff like environmental storytelling and influences like adventure games, or some other walking simulator adjacent concepts and stuff. No need to make it now tho.

On the topic of what constitutes ‘gameplay’; generally today ‘gameplay’ means mechanical interaction which is what walking simulator games are intentionally lacking, but as far as I can see all have gameplay. Albeit more rudimentary than traditional video games. Walking simulators are described as lacking gameplay, as if it’s a switch that is turned on and off, but I’d argue that even moments when a game is at it’s most-non interactive (like a cutscene), you are still experiencing ‘gameplay’ that can impact an experience based on how it is presented and delivered. To say that these games lack gameplay can rob them of meaningful examination of elements like the distance between meaningful developments and scenery changes, the speed of player movement, the frequency and telegraphing of when you are delivering a more directed experience to the player (deliberately restricting movements/ camera angle), as well as the use of art assets+ direction etc. These are the things that build up quality gameplay within these games, it is not lacking but merely focusing on elements that might be taken for granted in other games and bringing them to the forefront. If that shits boring for someone and they prefer stuff with actual meat in terms of mechanical interaction then cool, but I reckon what ‘gameplay’ is, is important in terms of semantics.

Sup Leonardo. I just stumbled upon you channel based on a recent recommendation by one of my favourite channels Shammy. The praise he gave to your content doesn‘t seem misplaced. This is the first video of yours that I clicked on, and you do such an amazing job at actually breaking a games surface and diving into mechanics, interpretations and meaning. I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to watching the rest of your content!

Also, your voice is great.

I watched someone play The Stanley Parable a while back and became obsessed with all the possible outcomes. I’m so thrilled to learn of this new mouthful game, thank you for including it.

For me TRESPASSER (1998) was the first game that felt like a walking simulator to me.

As an Indie game dev, this helped me understand this genre a lot better, so thank you. I played Dr Langeskov after watching this, and really loved it! I think the last game that gave me a good laugh like that was a Monkey Island game many years ago.

I have a feeling that you will appreciate my debut game, so would like to give you a free copy of it when we finally get this thing shipped. It may still take a while, so I hope I remember my promise ;).

This is amazing. It shows how in 8 years The Beatles changes music with their insanely good music

Great video but i think you’re missing the point of the witness if you can watch someone else play it and feel like you didnt ruin that game completely. Blind playthrough of that game was one of the best experiences ive had in the past few years gaming.

If I wanted to be very confrontational, then I should buy “I love walking simulators” T-shirt and walk into a gamers convention.

tou get my sub:)

more videos like that plz!

p.s
im a big fan of walking sim
and you did a wondrous video!!

I love your voice and the style and also the games selection just one little note or correction. Virginia wasent the first walking Simulator that used editing. A really famous example is Thirty Flights of Loving made by Brendon Chung. just a little correction also his games rock so yeah I am pretty much done now. I still subed to you for this content:)

I’ve been following walking simulators ever since Dear Esther was just a Moddb page, and this video perfectly put into words a lot of what I’ve felt about them. Thank you for making this.

the witness doesn’t fit easily in this analysis imo, as it does have an actual gameplay loop (puzzles are gameplay), it mostly lacks a story and it can’t really be enjoyed vicariously through a lets play (discussing why would spoil it)

when I actually played MCSM, I wanted the third one so much and cried, when they shutdown

I’d disagree that video games are unique in their interactivity, indeed if there is one bit of advice I would give to anyone looking to make a walking sim (although personally I’m one of the people who doesn’t like this term at all) it’d be to look at interactivity outside of gaming for inspiration. Theatre, installation art and even curation have been using interactivity to present narratives for decades.
I also don’t think it is fair to put Proteus in the same category of interactivity as Dear Esther, since the audio work on that game is incredibly responsive, I’ve heard it referred to as a digital toy which whilst I’m not keen on (people have been trying to make that term into a thing since the late 80’s) is quite apt for what Proteus is trying to do.

Also disagree about the cost/replayability issue, as personally I can’t stand when a game has the kind of collectables and clear narrative divergences that are seen as ways to make a game “replayable”. I’d much rather something have a single story good enough to revisit (you yourself mention how many times you’ve replayed Dr. Langeskov, and that’s very linear), which I have done with Gone Home, Firewatch, and Kentucky Route Zero (which I would classify as being in the same genre, even though KRZ isn’t in first person).

Lastly to end on a better note than just disagreement, there’s a nice free (though you can punt some money at the creators if you wish) first person narrative game called “Packing Up the Rest of Your Stuff on the Last Day at Your Old Apartment” by Turnfollow over at itch.io. it’s very short and very sweet.

Brilliant essay, well done. I’m waiting for that breakthrough walking sim, too, and agree that Dr Langeskov is fantastic. I love having a dev inside my head, messing around, while I explore. It’s that dialogue between player-maker, not between characters, that drew me into video games as a writer.

I hate kang mina. She did witness the accident but chose to remain silent just because she had crush on him. Jayeon was being bullied so badly just because of mina’s selfish behaviour..hate her from the bottom of my heart.

The pacing of this video is wonderful. And that clipping mask gradient work on the title breaks, I think the angle even changed for some of them. That looked so cool!

I’ve played Proteus, The Stanley Parable, and the Witness. I use Proteus as a meditation. It gets quite cold where I live and I work outside in it so sometimes an actual hike in the woods (far outside the city I live in) isn’t a welcome thought. Getting lost in and finding some quite in my mind seeing the sights and the occasional creature interaction is all I want from that game and with lawn mower type ear covers to block out other sounds I’m able to slowly achieve what I can in an actual walking meditation. Zoning out and being present.

The Stanley Parable makes me smile, first it lets me be a little rebellious because the game prods me to do so in order to see more of what the game has to offer. Or so I think. In some ways I wish to use it like Proteus. Growing up I explored many old buildings, my father’s business of moving old stuff out of empty old school buildings or old houses left me alone with old easily haunting rooms. I was once alone in an abandoned school building for 5 hours at night, most of the lights didn’t work. I could either fear it or become fixated on the neatness (better word?) of the building, of the structures lines, of the spaces it made, and of the atmosphere it gave in the moment and in the past. Back to Stanley Parable, I wish I could just slowly roam the whole building in a round where the Narrator is so annoyed with me that he leaves me to my own boredom, where I could gleefully see what the virtual architecture made. Which reminds me is Antichamber a walking simulator?

The witness is an art piece to me, as a former art student in college, I get the same feelings and mental tickles (Best description!) as going through an art gallery. The game play engages me and surprises me.

I’m perfectly fine paying money for these games. I pay upwards of $40US to watch a movie and that’s non refundable and only a one time use at the theater. Let’s plays are great for games that interest you and for games that would never interest you. I’ve bought games because of how much fun I’ve seen let’s players have.

One thing I wish these games all gave was an achievement reward or a DLC where if you beat the game or purchase you get to explore all of the world freely, pause time, soak in moments or just hangout in your favorite room or under your favorite tree.
