E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy Review

[@MandaloreGaming]

EYE Singleplayer Edition on GOG - gog.la/MyLegsAreOkay EYE on Steam - store.steampowered.com/app/91700/EYE_Divine_Cybermancy/ THE LIST - docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_K3ziSxT9zcUUGCddS4sF1uNJTWHSbOwB1CQX2Rx4Uo Gonna make a quick comment on why I thought the fan translation patch wasn't good. Didn't want to waste time in the video. The first line of "It is true I killed my mentor, yet I am not his murderer" is changed into "Mentor, I had no choice...". It removes 90% of the weird mysticism the game has, along with removing incoherence that's supposed to be that way for story reasons so they accidentally nuke parts of the plot. Plus it makes the dialogue a lot less charming.

[@jurgendieter5238]

You should pin your comment for visibility.

[@EVOXSNES]

"It is true I killed my mentor, yet I am not his murderer" suggests to me that he just hacked some dude's brain and killed him that way.

[@KKAK7]

The fan translation patch removes everything it considers "weird" and makes the translation smoother. However the writer clearly didn't understand the game or its story as they removed all the intentional weirdness, I mean it's pretty clearly that there is something severely wrong with your character's mental state and their perception of reality.

[@reachfanatic1234]

MandaloreGaming hey mandalore I've been a fan for a couple of months now and I think your videos(especially your reviews) always feel very genuine and straight to the point while also being funny, but that's aside from the point, I was just wondering how I can drop recommendations to you? Like do I have to message you on twitter or somewhere else? Because I really want to recommend Oblivion or Morrowind(any ES game really even the weird ones like Redguard) overall you've been a saving grace since I've lost interest in most youtubers since they kind of lost their charm

[@SurrogateActivities]

I've heard that the translation is fine and is fairly literal, it's just the writing is strange. I wish it described stuff in a more obvious way, but at the same time I like how often each word can have a deep or even multiple meaning. Also brozouf can be translated as "dosh".

At the 0:25 mark, the 'I killed my mentor, but am not his murderer' is a reference to the H.P. Lovecraft story, 'The Thing on the Doorstep'.

Installed a translation mod... the story's actually really impressive. It's trippy and surreal, but it's pretty clever, and everything that seems deranged at first actually makes sense in a really dark, unsettling way. Also it's worth pointing out - if you don't read all the optional text in the library etc, you miss out on a massive part of the puzzle; that there's a freaky process by which someone can become essentially immortal, like becoming a Lich, through cybernetics and magic... but in order for this transfer to happen, their mind has to be locked into a looping state. Oh, and the opening area with the portal - that's a forest, except all the trees are dead. That's also something explained in the library.

You forgot to mention something that I love about this game: every NPC is killable. Every. Single. One. And they all give Brouzouf when killed. Those random NPCs milling about in HQ? Killable, and worth a pretty good amount of Brouzouf if you can do it without dying. Your Mentor and Commanding Officer? both killable, although doing so won't unlock the ending early or anything like that. Necessary NPCs in the missions? Killable, though you'll have to restart the mission if you want to actually progress in the story. You keep the Brouzoufs from killing them though. Even that cryptic Mysterious dude who appears in your dream when you Game Over is killable and gives you a pretty tidy pay packet when you shoot him in the face with a Bear Killer or vaporize him with Triangular Gate. This is not only hilarious but also useful, since money is so all-important. Sure, you lose some karma sometimes when you do it, but you can fix your karma with maintenance for some reason, so karma loss only lasts until you press the repair button. Besides, they just respawn when you reload the area anyway so there's basically no reason to not just cap your coworkers in the head right before heading off for an optional mission.

For those who didn't get the movie references. 1. Ghost in the shell. The most obvious one about cybernetics and terrorists in a cyberpunk world 2. Enemy. Just like in the later, the protagonist has a split personality problem that manifests itself 3. Groundhog day. The protagonost has to live through a certain episode of their life over and over before discovering something about themselves. So basically you are interracting with projections of your split personality, while reliving through the same cyberpunk world over and over again.

I love all things EYE and when I saw this recommended I immediately watched, and unlike a lot of the usual "this game is impenetrable" videos, you made a damn good effort and a damn good video about one of my favorite flawed games! Also I've now gone back and watched almost all of your reviews and I have gotta say (as an old lurker and currently on-and-usually-off 4channer) I am happy your videos are slowly feeling less "/v/ish" and you have really developed your own voice and critical style. You kind of remind me of Ross Scott if he covered more unique shooters and strategy games like you do. Cant wait to see what you make next!

One important hint for people that decide to get this game. When equipping stuff, you can simply click once on the ammo/item and then click on any free inventory space to fill the slot with said item and you can keep on clicking free inventory slots. So: Click ammo in the armory, then proceed to click free inventory slots till you have the ammount of ammunition you seek. Saves so much time. In my case I went down from 1min or so to 10-15 seconds for a full load. Also, exp gained is based on damage dealt. Hacking is something you should level somewhat. And thats all I got for now.

[@cq4538r]

This singular line sold me on the game in a way I've never been sold on a game before. "Here's a starter SMG. It has two fire modes, full auto, and fuller auto." I promptly bought the game without a second thought, installed, and am trying to get another friend to get it.

I didn't even know there was a secret ending. I really enjoy the game, just for how many options there are. It's proof that even an unrefined game can be great. I love your channel and how much effort you put into your videos. Even more i love how frequent your output is. Usually with review of this quality it takes months in between... say Mathewmatosis. It's also quite admirable how much of your videos are kind of obscure, or rather just unpopular games. And on what spectrum. That makes it kind of hard though to make suggestions. However. I looked through my steam list, since you only do games available there and came up with a few. These games aren't the most popular and rather complex, since these are the most common traits among your videos. For space games... since you're an Eve player: AI War Fleet Command & Sins of a Solar Empire For RTS games, since they aren't made anymore and your vievers might not know these, but they're really good. Universe at War & World in Conflict. Maybe Dragon Commander, but that's kind of special. For FPS games: They are probably the most recommended to you, since you've done E.y.e. and have Stalker, Timeshift, Singularity and AVP 2000 already on your list. I can recommend Call of Juarez Gunsliger for some really funny story telling, Cry of Fear a total conversion of Half Life and a really good horror mod, or Dishonored. Maybe even Arma or Operation Flashpoint. Also if you're up for something a little older: Unreal, System Shock, Deus Ex. Or FPRPS like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic or Warhammer End Times Vermintide, great Coop game. And a few misc: Path of Exile, action RPG. Vampire Masquerades Bloodlines, RPG. Distance, racing. Talos Principle, esoteric puzzle game. Space Chem, hardcore puzzle game. Or my favorite game of all time: Warframe You have quite the list there at the end too, and that too is all over the place. Btw. If you do a game from that list i would say do Dawn of War for RTS or Stalker for FPS, but if you do Stalker use the Call of Chernobyl mod! It's outstanding. Like i said, it's quite hard picking games for you. I could just pick a random game from my Steam and i'd fit. I wish you fun and luck for your upcoming projects and review. You're doing great with this videos, just keep going! Btw. is it possible to add you on Steam?

I played through this game when I was about 15, and boy I can confidently say that I was in over my head. I had no idea what was going on, but I loved the visuals, and the depth of the systems within the game that I hadn't even began to comprehend. So, I pushed forward hoping to learn something. Somehow I had managed to beat the game once. Early on in my life I wasn't much of a gamer, but this was the first game that I played that I knew that I was way in over my head. I set id down after that one solo playthrough and never touched it again. After watching this I might need to dust it off and give it another shot.
