[@mrred773]

I would argue that it's graphically very good actually. It's a lot cruder and more primal, which is what I appreciate from old video game aesthetics, but it's also got such an inventive colour pallet that modern FPS formula basicly squanders and hurls out the window for being "unrealistic"

I cannot stress enough how fucking amazing this game is. My GOTY for 2018 and that's not even a joke. It's a homage, basically, sure, but it's not just a gimmick. It's an incredibly well polished first-person shooter with old school typical gameplay but has so much originality that it never once feels like a copy of the classics. Surprisingly superb atmosphere, brilliantly smooth movement and gunplay, unique, varied and balanced enemy types and weaponry, exceptional level design (lots of literal jaw dropping moments visually, believe it or not), a soundtrack that to my ears smashes DOOM 2016's and sound design that makes my ears wet. No, I'm not being paid by the devs, yes I was skeptical too, but all year the most fun I had playing a video game was this. For me, this BEATS some of the classics that's how fucking amazing it is.

*Sees new Civvie upload* I didnt need to sleep anyway

[@KindHeartedGoat]

Sleep can go squirt itself with a coffee enema, Civvie is much more fuckin' important!

[@fistonabitbol509]

Thank you very much for these videos, Civvie! I finally bought it and it just got straight into my mind. This game is AMAZING

[@resurgam44]

When you quaff beer, the game becomes Dusk 64, lol.

[@MBBGun14]

I feel in love with this game, really. I haven't had such good time with shooter since Quake and Unreal Tournament.

[@stolenname5380]

Quaff means to drink an alcoholic drink hardly or with enjoyment

[@michaeloverton04]

Fun, and admittedly random, fact: The basic chainsaw enemies share their name with a nickname for U.S. Marines. The name "leather neck" came from how the Marines would have leather around their necks on their combat uniforms. This was done to help against enemy soldiers when they run out of ammo and use their bayonets to stab the Marines in the neck. Whether or not the devs. meant to reference this is beyond me, but it's interesting regardless.

Hyper realistic graphics are great, but older looks can really add something to your game. The cut scenes in Planescape Torment, for example, are ugly as shit, but the look of them helps add to the other worldly vibe the whole game has.

my favorite detail about the Second Experiment boss at the end of episode 1: before the first horse boss, the game gives you a puzzle where you have to flip multiple switches in a certain pattern. after the boss you see a similar arrangement of 6 switches and a door, so you'd think you have to figure out another combination right? wrong, as soon as you press any of the switches the door opens and the 2nd horse boss attacks you instantly. it's such a great fuck-you moment lol

Can you make a review of Quake 1.5 please civvie.

[@windscyth]

So I've never really been a huge fan of these retro shooters before. Liked the art style, so decided to try it out. And god was it good... all thanks to these videos.

[@vallytine]

15:28 You're welcome.

[@postaled]

The way your videos flow, man, they're flawless - keep you hooked an engaged.

[@skaruts]

Press F for flashlight.

[@quadrax608]

I want to say that I really enjoy your content. Those videos are pure gold (with a couple of galons of blood).

[@TheCraziestFox]

Isn't Cutty's mine a reference to thief?

[@slackerdenile8836]

I think so, the atmosphere and cramped tunnels reminded me of Cragscleft.

[@user-pf4sk8im4b]

Came to the comments for that, it is yeah :)

[@noyouwillnot1169]

Also, the Escher Labs in episode 2(?) has a HUGE Thief 2 reference.

[@salaciouscreations4323]

I only watch this channel for the production values. The voice over and editing work are great. You both make a great team

[@TheTaintedWisdom]

I felt like "I Can Take It" was too damn easy and "Cero Miedo" was too hard. However, once I found out about Intruder Mode, which starts you with only the melee weapon at the start, that coupled with "I Can Take It" was absolutely *perfect.* And the game automatically saves every time you start a level so you don't need to save manually every damn time. It's everything I wanted from Bethesda's Doom 64 re-release that had who knows how many people behind it and this was made by ONE. FUCKING. *GUY!!!* (Seriously, can Bethesda do *anything* right?!?) I still didn't like Dusk as much as Blood, mostly because the early poly visuals just aren't nearly as appealing to me. However, working within the intended visuals, it's far from poorly made from an artistic or atmospheric standpoint, just not something I personally can look past as easily. So far the only complaint I have about the music is that there's a combat sequence in one of the earlier levels that doesn't end when you kill all the enemies, and after sequence breaking by hunting secrets I didn't get to the room where the music is supposed to wind down so it made it difficult to think. Aside from that, the music's fantastic.

[@infectedanimal9830]

The game has gotten a fantastic free hd pack since this post so if you’re wanting to try it again with a more polished look I 100% recommend

[@MrTheil]

One thing I love about Episode 1 is that some of the levels have rooms ripped straight out of Doom and Quake. Awesome references
