Civvie thread (classic FPS reviews/commentary on youtube)

I have a soft spot for minute retro shooters and I actually played MutantLeg's older attempt in the genre. It was this lovingly crafted Wolfenstein 3D clone with awesome cartoony graphics. Nice to know he's made something new, I'll definitely give it a spin. In the meantime, if that's your cup of tee, check out LAB:

Strig i didn't knew he made Lab, neat. I played that game back when Flash was still a thing you could run in browsers.

Yeah, me too. He released a "proper" version later on, many improvements included. One of these days I'll make a topic about bite-sized retro shooters. There are quite a few of them, many completely free.

I finished this and it was a charming romp. The tragic tale of the brainsuckers left me truly stirred and sobbing. What a great story. Just kiddin'.

This was so much better than the "me too!" epigones that 3DRealms spews out these days, as Zortch actually managed to have its own identity.

A retro throwback shooter that does the unthinkable and... actually has a story.

Game made on Painkiller engine, inspiread by Deathwatch movie. Devs later made Painkiller HD (Hell & Damnation, huh) which was less janky, but not perfect. Also weird DLC packs.
Janky and unbalanced. Had expansion pack Lost Company (not in the video? Doesn't seem worthy separate video tbh).
Still replay it sometimes.

Imagine putting a cameo of J.R.R. Tolkien in your game and it's the least batshit thing in there.

I tried to play this at the past but lost interest - turns out it was *just* a level to reach the ending :-P. I found it amusing that they basically threw everything in this game, though they had a very broad definition of "vampires".

The biggest enemy in the game though was the hazy bloom combined with levels having smoke particles everywhere. Also IIRC (played it years ago) there was a sprint mechanic that clashed badly with most of the underground levels being very big and often very empty.

Perhaps i might try it again at some point.

I feel like they threw inside all the concepts and assets from unreleased games they worked on before NV release.
Players is so overwhelmed with insanity his mind is not questioning changes past 2nd-3rd level.

Me while watching the Necrovision video:

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Me not watching it.

 

[Dreed]

I still have this game on Gamecube, it was kinda cool

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I was watching a What happun’ about nightmare creatures and Matt had a preview of Forgive Me Father 2. I didn’t know 1 existed much less 2. Anyone try these? Has Civvie or Gmanlives reviewed them?

 

[Baron Dupek]

Civvie doing console games?
What next, Deathwatch? Because that was the only exception when it comes to FPS on consoles...

This game looks like a slightly less jank (and much less Abrahamic) version of Messiah.

 

[anvi]

Parts of it reminds me of Omikron The Nomad Soul.

 

[NecroLord]

Has Civvie or Gmanlives reviewed them?

No, I don't think so.

 

[Baron Dupek]

It's over.
Good riddance with Clear Sky.
At least Call of Pripyat is casual and comfy compared to the previous games.
Wonder if he tried GAMMA - p. sure people will spam his PMs and comments about it. Like they usually do when it comes to mods. And GAMMA have rather vocal and obnoxious fanbase...

 

[rubinstein]

i dont get it...
why did he include all the "game over" footage that shows him dying to anything while wearing a leather jacket*, a fucking leather jacket, in late-game areas sometimes? im actually speechless. is he unironically retarded? am i retarded for missing something? is this a joke that went over my head? because 95% into the game he is finally like "hey, guys, look! i found a good armor!"... wtf???
you can even see him having eco armor equipped at times which is slightly better in combat, but still.

*and apparently some of his artifacts are terrible combat-wise, i learnt it from comments, but i havent played the game in 10 years, so i cant tell really

 

[Sodafish]

is he unironically retarded?

You even need to ask?

 

[Baron Dupek]

For some reasons our character model in death animations wears different suit.
that's just Stalker things...

[NecroLord]

Love this game.
I think it doesn't quite get enough press.

 

[janior]

looks like a terrible mod for doom
