I was a Sophomore in High School when this game came out and I absolutely loved it; so much so that I played it over and over again, neglecting to read a book for my Language Arts class which I needed to do for a book report. Long story short, I figured with an author's name on this game, my teacher wouldn't know the difference. So I cropped out the EA or whatever publisher was on the box art and wrote a book report on this game. Got an A.

Ah, Clive Barker's Clive Barker's Undying by Clive Barker is my favorite Clive Barker game by Clive Barker that I can think of! It's so a fantastic game. Trivia: The guy Patrick Galloway kills in the intro, that was suppose to be the Main character for the game initially but when they brought in Clive Barker and told him about it, he supposed to have said " _Who looks like this? Who wants to look like this? Does anyone know of a man named Magnus? No, draw me a man I want to sleep with!_ ", and that's how we got Patrick Galloway instead, a sexier man for a much better story. .... By Clive Barker!

[@johnplaysgames3120]

Ah, man! I haven't seen this game in forever! After I left Activision, I was actually hired by Dreamworks to be a Designer on the sequel to Undying but then EA bought out the office, team, etc., cancelled Undying 2, and moved us all over to work on Medal of Honor: Frontline instead. MoH was fun, but I *really* wanted to work on a Clive Barker horror game...

This game seems ahead of its time. The gun/magic with each hand reminds me of Bioshock, which didn't come out until 2007. Weapon wheels generally are a modern feature as well, although I can't think specifically of when they became popular. And the variety of spells remind me of the psi power in EYE divine cybermancy (which civvy really should do a video on)

[@elijahjarman2837]

I agree, but it'd break him too quickly

[@TNTLLYftw]

oblivion had a 'weapon wheel' per se, and bioshock didn't even have the dual wielding until bioshock 2 so even later!

Moreover, the "Invoke" spell makes living enemies kill themselves. The Possession Vigor in Bioshock Infinite does exactly the same.

[@scottcaves1258]

The Haste spell temporarily increases your speed and mana regeneration rate. That's true, but also you reload weapons faster, and delay between weapon attacks (shots or melee weapons) is also much shorter, this is especially useful later in the game when you face all the Howler types at once, because they are really fast and jump on you in a heartbeat.

That's a cool detail, but it was clearly made for gameplay reasons: if your character can dual-wield, it's better to have the left mouse button fire the weapon in your left hand (those who have played The Darkness II know what I'm talking about), and since in Undying guns are treated as a primary fire and spells as an alternate option, it made sense to have the main character be left-handed.

Once he gets into Jericho, it will be like DNF all over again.

[@ZigealFaust]

Jericho was GOOD though. It's that stupid, shitty, cliffhanger ending that sucked. (Remembers repeated bosses, enemy swarms, dull visuals in most levels) Oh no wait, Jericho sucked. The only good thing about it was GUIIIIIIDED PSYCHIC SNIIIIPER BUUUUULEEETS!

[@hiddenshadow2105]

Jericho at 200k subscribers then?

[@Gruntvc]

@pkleaf, Both Singularity and Bulletstorm did guided bullets too. And both were a lot better than Jericho. That teammate AI...

[@ZigealFaust]

@@Gruntvc I know they did, but Jericho was the first game I played that had them. And yeah, the AI was so trash it was obvious they wanted co op multiplayer but scrapped the idea for some odd reason.

I haven't even watched the whole video yet, but mixing footage from one of my all-time favorite movies into a review of one of my all-time favorite games? Dude. You're so awesome. And so, so, so funny.

[@thewaver8]

Thank you, Civie. Sincerely. This was one of my favorite games of all time. I had no idea that you were aware of it and wanted to suggest it for a while. But you really did it justice. Couple of pro tips: - you can dispell the killer plants - you can electrically charge the crossbow BTW, you didn't mention how bullets ricochet, which was quite awesome for the time. Now go play Jericho. It has some flaws, but it also has a lot of memorable moments / set pieces... I mean, it's Barker...

[@user-vn7ce5ig1z]

• _Undying_ was a great, very memorable game, one of my all-time favorites. I want to re-play it, but my OCD makes me do the shooting-range at the start, so I can't make any progress, so I keep putting it off for later. Regardless, it's still a great game, with great atmosphere, and felt very full and satisfying (not too long, not too short). _Jericho_ wasn't bad, it was just buried. • The spells remind me of the ter'angreal from _Wheel of Time_ (which was pretty good, but too long); also some of its maps. • 12:36 - This part reminds me of _American McGee's Alice_ . The cistern reminds me of _Tomb Raider_ , other parts remind me of some of the _Painkiller_ games, and some _Return to Castle Wolfenstein_ , and even _CoC: Dark Corners of the Earth_ . • 15:00 - This part reminds me of _Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem_ . • 18:47 - Would you still hit it? 🤔 • 20:37 - And some _Watchmaker_ and/or _Scratches_ . • 28:18 - And now _Barrow Hill_ . • 29:00 - Kraven. • 31:47 - Shame. :-\ _Undying_ is reminiscent of many games (some before it, some after), as well as some Lovecraft stuff, particularly _Dunwich Horror_ . Overall, it's extremely memorable and a fun play.

[@sobrev1viente]

Also remember dual wielding on bioshock 2, this seems like the progenitor to it

I have, honestly, been afraid that this channel is going to end after reaching 100k subs and doing the DNF material. Good to know Civvie isn't done with being the pinnacle of online entertainment.

[@Yusuke_Denton]

They extended his sentence.

[@isenokami7810]

And unlike a certain other pinnacle, he’s earned that title.

[@patson187]

An awesome game. When I was younger it literally scared the shit out of me, so that I finished it almost 15 years later after rediscovering it. a true classic in horror Gaming.

[@chriswilson7211]

"That scythe" is one of my favorites from any game, ever... XD You also neglected to mention the fact that it'll drink enemies' blood puddles if you get it close enough... like some sort of twisted drinking bird thing. ...and the lightning bolt spell works with the crossbow or whatever it was to make some sort of rocket launcher type thing that was supposed to be good for killing something or other.

[@tanakoskyler-thetabletopsh377]

Okay, that The Thing clip needs its own video.

[@NothingYouHaventReadBefore]

This episode made me feel, and I quote: "Holy crap, the intro is back."

[@S1kTh66]

This is one of my favorite FPS games of all time. Everything was perfect in this.

[@Kallisti3]

One of my favorite spooky games. I'm glad you're giving it the love and attention it deserves.

[@bloodrunsclear]

I love this game! It's not so much 'scary' as it is atmospheric, and it actually kind of has that unsettling atmosphere thanks to the janky graphics

[@henryambrose8607]

Honestly "scary" for games usually either means atmospheric or obnoxious jumpscares. I know which one I prefer.

[@bloodrunsclear]

@@henryambrose8607 I like the slow burn better. It gets under your skin. In this game things don't tend to jump you so much as you hear them, aren't sure where they are, and even when you see them you feel tension because they tend to be stronger than you are XD

[@henryambrose8607]

@@bloodrunsclear yeah I prefer that too.

Deserves a solid remaster by Nightdive Studios. This and Soldier of Fortune.

At least Cancer Mouse is still alive in this timeline. Thank goodness for that.

cancer mouse will always be around. He's in the most recent video too for like 5 seconds. the You Are Empty video. He says "Hi Civvie!" and is there for like a few seconds and then Civvie just walks away.

[@melvinmerkelhopper5752]

UI don't think Cancer Mouse can die.

I mean, if society as a whole will ever get its shit together and not be such a cancerous place then cancer mouse could die. But who am I kidding, that's never going to happen so yeah, cancer mouse is eternal.
