You're reaching if you're getting, "genuine love" from a character whose presence in the entire series (not counting Blood 2) consists of being strung up on a crucifix, and a couple of voice lines like, "Ophiliahhhhhhhhh noooooooooo". Caleb offered his life to the cult of Chernobog, giving everything to become a Chosen only to be betrayed, cast aside along with Ophilia as expendable. It seems as much a power struggle as it is a revenge tale. After sacrificing his life for a cult which now wants him dead, Caleb has little recourse for redemption but to destroy the entire cult. Strikes me as he's doing this for what Ophilia and himself wanted, and the anger over what was lost between the two of them is just a cherry on top. But hey, really it's just a b-movie script which lands somewhere between spaghetti western and horror as a loose pretext to blow shit up with the build engine. So in reality we're both dumbasses for trying to read between the lines. >

What always struck me about Blood was Caleb's relationship with Ophelia and how that made him a lot more vulnerable than other FPS protagonists of the time. Hearing him wail at the sight of her sacrificed body really endeared me to him because it grafted real human emotions onto an archetype that was otherwise nothing but bloodlust and badassery. So to see that this mod took that element of Caleb's character and magnified it into an entire fucking *level*, said level being a technically impressive masterpiece in it's own right (and a parody of one of my favorite game franchises) is just... man. You ever play, watch or see some piece of art where you just know the art maker is on the same wavelength as you? That's what Death Wish is for me.

@@TheSoulHarvester The genericness of the trope doesn't take away from its impact or implementation. Who cares how common it is if it's done well? And furthermore, *grief* isn't exactly something expressed by FPS protagonists of the time, especially when contrast them against his contemporaries. The closest is Doomguy, and that's a text prompt, not a fully voiced line. Caleb expressing that was pretty unique for the time, vulnerability isnt something you think of when playing a badass fps protagonist.

One of the main things is how interactive yet non scripted the levels feel. There's always something triggered to spook you like a haunted house but it's not so much a pre scripted situation as it feels more like placing out in game objects and simply activating them. The main thing is how silent and passive it all is. It doesn't ever stop the flow of the action and say Hey look over here let me show you something awesome. No all pre stuff all flows along with your journey and it never feels like a slog. Only setting the atmosphere cause if you wanna speedrun, you can. It doesn't hold you back ever as if everything's simply happening around you and you don't actually matter and that's what I miss in games. One of my most memorable ones is in The Room when you walk under the rail and you see the lights flicker as a train drive by and stops. Something so simple but the lighting effect and sound is so powerful it sticks with me. That and I had to redo that damn part over and over and over cause I didn't have enough ammo for something i've forgot.

[@JillLulamoon]

I love how the map Whisper Peak dips its toes into the psychological horror pool, implying Ophelia's death is actually haunting Caleb. Its stuff like that why Caleb is miles above Duke and Lo Wang. Blood has dark humor and Caleb likes to wisecrack but Blood at it's best never treats him like a joke. Caleb is never portrayed as a goofy clown caricature like Duke and Wang can be. Blood is horror comedy in the best way, where the comedy and the horror never overwhelm the other.

[@conelybiscuit4985]

Evil Dead 2 is clearly such an influence and it works.

[@georgeoldsterd8994]

Ya know the thing about Shadow Warrior? If we assume (the devs said they're not) that the three new games are prequels to the original, because Lo Wang is young in them, Wang goes through so much stuff, it actually leaves a mark on him. If in the first two he's this confident, sly, but not very bright badass, then, at the beginning of the third one he's effectively gone coo-coo. In the original game, Wang is hitting 60, if I remember correctly, and he's borderline insane, spewing lame one-liners (they're not really lame, most of the time, but you know), making pop-culture references, keeping a nuke in his dojo, cannibalizing his enemies, and unsuccessfully attempting to womanize (including teen girls). Sure, he's apparently saved the world at the end of the third game (I don't know, I've never managed to beat it), but his mental health got banged up pretty badly. It may not be as deep as Caleb, but it's still pretty interesting when you look at it from a bigger picture standpoint. Duke, though, Duke never changes.

This game scared the shit out of me when I was a kid and took a lot of nerve for me to play it and I never beat it without cheating and I never appreciated it. Later and by later I mean like 5 years ago now that I'm an adult I finally played it legit. I was blown away at what I missed out on and what I really did experience as far and beyond one of the best intense FPS games of the 90's. Last year I finally playd Death Wish and it is so fucking good that you can literally sit back and play it and you'll completely forget its a mod. Thats how unbelievably well made it is. Its mind blowing that I beat it last year because I went through all the "top mods" for Blood and as I was watching your review I was like "Holy shit yes I remember all these levels." That's how good it is. The mod feels more authentic, more realized and more of EVERYTHING from the original episodes. Hell I remember the platforming, the puzzles, the well thought out pacing and ramp up. I even remember how some of the levels just start you out in this immediately great wonderful scenario of atmosphere then you get shot immediately because you didnt move. Why? Because its blood.

*1:* Y'know, this month wasn't feeling Halloweeny enough due to the complications of this year. But with this? THIS helped me get into the swing of it. LET THE BLOODBATH BEGIN. *2:* I always heard that Death Wish was good. But now I can clearly see how good it is. *3:* Holy shit, there are more explosions in this than in a Michael Bay film! *4:* That moment where the Zombie was gonna smack the explosive barrels was such a Roundabout moment. "Oh. Oh no..." *--->[To Be Continued]* *5:* Katie's so active now, Civvie's starting to notice. The Department of Special Corrections had probably better rein her in before she experiences rampancy. (Pro Halo maybe?) *6:* Tommy Caleb is truly magnificent. Though honestly I figured that KinoFabino would have done that first. I dunno if he has, but if he did, I wouldn't be surprised. *7:* Welp. That was more than just a mod. That was proof that Atari needs to sell the rights to Blood to a worthy studio, so they can attempt to make something as badass as Death Wish. Shadow Warrior got its reboot series, so naturally Blood deserves something similar. Hell, with the love and care Flying Wild Hog put into its iteration of Shadow Warrior, I'd wager they'd be a worthy house to attempt making a new Blood game. *8:* "Groovy", eh? I don't know about any spooky Duke megawads, so I guess the dungeon's gonna make Civvie play that Evil Dead game on Playstation.

"Death Wish" atmosphere is such a big thing in this expansion, one of the best quality in the original Blood. E3M7 is very epic :)

Hey Civvie. Cerberus is a Greek word, so the proper plural would be "Cerberuses", just as the plural for octopus is octopuses. Words with Latin roots have "i's" at the end. Also, "Cerberus" has a root meaning "spotted", so Hades basically named the three-headed, snake-tailed guard dog of the underworld "Spot".

[@dragonoverlord2010]

@@frog1405 I mean, all the gods in greek myth generally are assholes....ceeeept Hades. Heck I was talking with a guy earlier today about how greek myth had a recurring thing about how each pantheon was perceivably terrible which necessitated being replaced by the next, which Zeus tried to stop by absorbing his first wife...and then Gaea made Typhon and that failed too. Really, it is generally agreed upon that Hades decidedly NOT being an Olympian kept him out of the vast majority of assholery while he just did his extremely necessary job guaranteeing that basically no one would ever screw with him. There was the kidnappping Persephone and tricking her into being part of the physical realm thing, sure. Funny thing about that is, Persephone was absolutely worshipped as a Queen of the Dead looooooooooooong before Hades was even conceptualized in Greek mythology, so the him kidnapping her thing was literally just an excuse at rewriting her origin story exactly like a super hero comic book trying to make a major character less significant. I choose to interpret this as "she actually kidnapped him and Greeks were too chauvinistic to admit that a *woman* was the rightful ruler of all dead and departed souls and thusly all men eventually".

The spiky things on the beach are traps made for tanks, though they were repurposed on D-day to pierce the hulls of landing craft and make it harder to make an amphibious landing and assault.

Also, having finally started playing Death Wish myself, wow is it amazing and impressive.
