Civvie thread (classic FPS reviews/commentary on youtube)

So Phantom Fury is still ass, got it.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

Yeah, he didn't really hold back on Phantom Fury one bit. It was probably one of his better openings unless you're one of the developers of Phantom Fury.

 

[NecroLord]

As promised AvP 99

Fuck YEAH!
Will watch this a bit later, but will he also review the sequel AVP 2?
Also a really cool game.

I forgot how laughably bad those original in-game FMVs were

Strife certainly was innovative for its time, but all things considered it's a rather mediocre game in my opinion. Not bad per se, but definitely my least favorite of the original Doom engine games. Those so called "RPG elements" sure were a nice touch, but they are almost painfully superficial and beyond that, Strife is just ("just", lol) a 90s shooter with comparatively bland level design and rather weak gunplay. Still worth a look though, for those interested in classic shooters.

Disagree, outside of the sewer strife levels are pretty competently designed. Also the only weapon that really feels weak is the crossbow. Which is easily worse than heritics wand, and the duke 3d pistol. The rocket launcher is weak compared to doom/quake ect but it's meant to serve as one of your main weapons, not as a specialty long range weapon. The rifle, mauler, flamethrower all feel fine imo.

Strife is probably my favorite boomer shooter so I may be biased.


Also I played mulletmad jack because of Civvie 11. It was a good time I will buy the full game when it comes out. Highly recommend.

Can't watch the video yet, but i'm assuming he is not using the orignal videos, which were much better:

Yes he's using the originals, with the terribad vids done by the dressed-up Rebellion employees. Not that the redone vids with "real actors" are much better, mind you.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Stalger Cler Sky next?

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

DESCENT!

 

[Morgoth]

DECENT!

 

[Caim]

Stalger Cler Sky next?

"Get hitscanned, my child."

 

[HansDampf]

Important message at the end. Play Overload.

 

[Beans00]

Well he's not wrong, descent 1 was hard as fuck.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

I'm still shocked that Parallax became Volition. It's a shame that Embracer killed them. I would have loved to have seen Sweet Baby Inc's take on Descent 4.

[Morenatsu.]

He wrote that backwards. The funny dev-acting version is the redone one, isn't it. My god, the old one looks like they're in yearbook photos lmao

 

[Fedora Master]

One could say that Descent is decent.

Overload, which Civvie11 recommended in his Descent video, is on sale for 80% off. You can pick it up and the two level packs for $8US.

There's my unsub.

 

[Caim]

I agree, pulling this off in GZDOOM is nothing short of sorcery on part with Chasm.

Also the game itself, a bit steep but if it's as good as they say:

 

[Hobknobling]

Civvie11 is one of those toobers I watch because it is mildly entertaining and not because he is a good critic. Similar to Yahtzee.

e: Oh, he does voice acting for Selaco. His opinions are even more worthless than normally.

 

[NecroLord]

Oh, he does voice acting for Selaco.

Lmao, really?

 

[lightbane]

What character does he voice? He had a reference in Postal 4, but I dunno if he voiced himself.
