PUTREFACTION 2: VOID WALKER - I'd Rather Void My Bowels

[@Rohaq]

I'm just amazed you found an amateur game where headshots and limb shots actually do something, and the enemy hitboxes seem to be surprisingly pretty decent.

[@toomanyaccounts]

indeed headshots actually work in this one. most of the so called indie devs don't bother that even on their zombies.

[@FLy1nRabBit]

The entire game seems of much higher quality than the usual.

[@toomanyaccounts]

yeah I don't see the motion blur but maybe that is youtube or maybe I am not sensitive to it.

[@jeronimotorres1]

I was surprised at that too. Then I realized it might be animations and scripts tied to the model when purchased from the asset store. I'd give this a thumbs up as a student game, but no one should pay money for this.

[@toomanyaccounts]

that would depend if it was purchased from the asset store. I don't think I have seen one of these unity models do that though. So it may be that this dev encoded that if they were purchased. of course one needs to find out if these are on the unity store.

[@abeherbert6603]

Maybe seeing the kind of shit Jim has to play on a regular basis has lowered my standards, but this wasn't too bad. All the enemies had actual animations, relatively decent AI, everything didn't seem so cobbled together (if this was indeed an asset flip, there was probably some thought to it). If the developer added an option to disable motion blur and fixed the terrain being so hard to jump over, this could be a half-decent little project. As always it doesn't belong any where near the Steam store page, but this is closer to 'game design' than most Early Access/Greenlight games get.

[@Janx14]

I know I'm late to the party, but I generally agree.

[@rexex345]

gotta admit, those enemy hit boxes are spot on if they can dodge just by going through basic animations

[@GuileOhio]

Honestly, this one is kinda on the top tier of Steam early access trash. If not for the god-awful localization work, almost complete lack of anything resembling a story, and the shitty motion blur and apparently low FPS, this almost sounds like it would be a fun Painkiller-like romp.

[@SaintJohn201]

Out of curiosity, when is motion blur not shitty?

[@InfernalMonsoon]

Doom 2016's motion blur actually looks really great, it has a real sense of kinetic action to it if that makes sense. But I hate motion blur simply because it makes me feel sick whether it looks good or bad.

[@waking00one]

only time when i think motion blur has not been awful has been racing games, it can add a certain feeling of speed to it if done well not in a bloody fps tho

[@jakublulek3261]

It reminds me of Goldern Axe: Beast Rider, Golden Axe game form PS3. Same design of scenery and enemies, same blurry mess, same bullshit hitboxes and generally pretty shit game, not absolute trash but bad enough to not be played ever. I own Golden Axe: Beast Rider, just because I am Golden Axe fan but man, that shit came out around the time as Valkyria Chronicles!

[@Dradeeus]

I think if the controls were fixed this might be a cute lil Doomy game.

[@Haruhater]

If you must know Jim the video has no motion blur whatsoever.

[@lnsflare1]

Mary Phillips What is the motion blur situation if we're less than insistent on knowing Jim?

[@joken3000]

You sir are blind

[@JohnnyOstad]

Ohhh there is plenty of motion blur in the video my dear child!

[@OvenFreshBread]

I only noticed it at the end around the time Jim mentioned it getting worse. Maybe some people are just more sensitive to it than others?

[@eppiox]

There's heaps of blur in it x_x noticed it right away. Maybe you're used to it.

[@TheRealTHD]

Alternative Fact: This game is actually not bad

[@Thetracker69]

Yeah, this one looks like it has a lot of potential, while not being super terrible. Better than most games jim plays on this series. Fix up that issue where you get stuck if you try to jump near a wall, maybe make the enemies a tad less erratic, and do some more testing to see where you can get stuck then patch those areas up with some good old fashioned invisible walls. And the game might actually be kinda fun.

[@finnelhumano6096]

Neeh, the level design is still terrible, but I agree with you, at least the devs made an effort.

[@Liesmith424]

I think the erratic enemies could still be fun if you started with a higher rate-of-fire weapon.

[@Khenfu_Cake]

Thetracker69 "Better than most games jim plays on this series". That doesn't really say much though:-S.

[@olbones4863]

Looks nice, but that is less to do with the dev, and more to do with the asset creators. Not sure how much of it is Jim's fault vs. the game's fault, but the controls also look terrible.

[@justinkroboth360]

"I'm not unknowingly DSPing this am I?" Oh god, I'm dead.

[@Fartuess]

You gotta give the developer some credit for trying to copy Doom2016 game mechanics. It is way more impressive than typical asset flip shooters.

[@ArchmageOfAnarchy]

The Russian language option is above English? Ooooooooh boy my favourite! Another one of THOSE games!

[@JimSterling]

To be fair, that'll be the standard for all products soon enough.

[@chuggynation8275]

cyka blyat cyka blyat cyka blyat cyka blyat cyka blyat , that means '' hi my name is ''. very easy language

[@Horrorfreak106]

Oh quiet you.

[@KainMcnab]

CHEEKI BREEKI!

[@LazarheaD]

We will crush puny americans!

[@DrShaym]

When I hear of an enemy forced called "The Putrid Ones", what comes to mind is some sort of rotting corpse monster, like the Deadites in _Army of Darkness_. Not brown dudes with antlers.

[@SilentPony]

Having just finished Doom 2016 last week this game makes my soul and blood hurt.

[@anew742]

Hilarious and sad that the first was a discount Doom 3 and now we have a discount Doom 2016....

[@LapnLook]

SilentPony I'm watching the first fight currently, and WOW is that a shitty doom 2016 ripoff... The way those imp-like enemies work, how you regain health by killing them, and how the arena is set up feels like they were going for that core gameplay loop of DOOM. Except this is shit.

[@InfernalMonsoon]

They are rage. Brutal, without mercy. But you, you will be worse. Rip and tear, until it is done.

[@andhieyusuf7008]

This particular group of creatures are enraged, no gentleness, with no forgiveness. Except you, you are supposed to be even more bad. Lacerate and rupture, to the point it is no longer available.

[@mangaka350]

No it's a rip off of Doom 3 not Doom 2016, the movement of those enemies screams Doom 3 imps!

[@mudlark4099]

The gun movements are so elaborate and constant that it almost seems as if we're watching the exploits of a sentient firearm and not a FPS.

[@Raider0075]

Jim seems a little grumpier than usual today......

[@JimSterling]

Actually quite the opposite. I was in a fairly hyper mood, hence the extra oomph.

[@vladerag]

Random question, does your mouse have a sensitivity switch on it? You never seem to pause when you talk about changing the mouse sensitivity.

[@Drothen-]

like all good gaming mouses...

[@TheDorianTube]

3:25 oooooh shots fired. TIHYDP Sterling edition? ahahah

[@Thanatos420]

This isn't the first time he's fired shots at DSP. Awhile back, he made a satirical video completely in rhyme tearing DSP apart.

[@reeseburns8864]

+Thanatos420 do you know which video that is? Taking shots at DSP is always a fun time.

[@Liesmith424]

I'd watch the fuck out of that.

[@TheDorianTube]

Yes Yes, I'd like to enjoy some fun at DSP's expenses too. Which video is it? lol

[@nonfickshun]

It was Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Special or something like that on The Escapist channel

[@Jayy997]

I just gave the demo a whirl and while it's by no means incredible or polished, the core shooting is fun and I've seen far worse weapon feedback. Locational damage is nice, and combat encouraged picking up of health and ammo before they disappear by wading into the fray, which is reminiscent of the gameplay loop in Doom. Altogether it was a fun albeit unpolished time. I think Jim was a bit hasty to put this in a bad light and went into it with a negative mindset.

[@dontrestyourhead]

This game seems like a big improvement over it's predecessor. Not brilliant, but a meaningful improvement.

[@eastcoasteric]

"I'm not DSP'ing this".... Best Jim Sterling quote of 2017, hands down.

[@PutkisenSetä]

"I totally had him" he says as he wildly fires over the guy's head.

[@mutantfreak48]

"I SHOT HIM IN THE BALLS" - Jim Sterling, 2017.

[@LoerdNoerd]

If this is an asset flip, they at least put it together quite coherently. It lacks the polish of a AAA release but it's far from offensive.

[@SomersBugtopia]

The new Far Cry looks strange...

[@Yezu666]

Oh come on, it's not that bad. There was actually some solid work put into that game.

[@drawvidraw1406]

Just started watching.... "Hello you alternative facts". Damn it Jim, you've got me already XD

[@EnoEtukeno]

I watched a couple of other videos of the game and while it needs work, it's pretty promising. Apparently the game has gotten patches at a decent rate too, so I think I'll keep an eye on it.

[@toomanyaccounts]

for early access it seems pretty well put together. mind you that area jimbo fell in needs to be fixed.

[@PostNukeProductions]

2:18 "They are also probably will try to eat you."

[@toomanyaccounts]

which they seem to have done based on the ending noises

[@samsoninnes9943]

This is actually an early prototype build of Doom Primal

[@DigGil3]

"What kind of Matrix bullshit is that?!" top contender for best Jim Sterling moments of 2017.

[@Hugmir]

Great to see right before sleep that a goodnight video is ready and waiting :D

[@vitorg.5441]

This actually looks like someone trying to make something resembling the old turok games.

[@dontrestyourhead]

I went back and looked at the video of the first one, and I honestly have no idea if I'd seen it before or just couldn't tell it apart from the figuratively trillions of games that use the exact same assets.

[@bassemb]

"Hello you alternative facts" Topical! I so enjoy your creative greetings Jim.

[@TheJackal917]

Decent game really. Would be nice to see day-night cycles with different levels of enemy aggression. Weather effects, like rain and gray clouds fit this game much more than sunny weather. Some wind effects would make just terrific experience. And weapon redesign - it's a must to have more textures on'em. But there's a large BUT - for one man game this is head and shoulders above almost any other shit on Greenlight. Just H&S.

[@NoraNoita]

I used to dislike your videos, but that was because I didn't understand them. Now I love your content! Great stuff you put out.

[@bretthicksomega]

Why am I getting Polygon Doom Flashbacks?

[@Rakinjo2]

Are we sure this isn't just DOOM on launch, imported from an alternative universe where it was published by Ubisoft? You'll get the machine gun, and a rope-ladder to escape the rock-trap, if you pre-order the Season Pass.

[@Azdrerios]

It honestly felt like you were grasping at straws to mock this game. It's obviously not perfect, but this video is just plain unfair.

[@thomasjenkins7506]

that's what it felt like to me. especially when it came to him complaining that he couldn't hit a moving target.

[@SadalDay]

he backed into a thrown (airborne) fireball lol 12:00 i luv ya Jim but wth XD also right when the game starts to get tense the video jumps 6:24 is one example 10:56 is another (edits that part out?) why? Anyways just curious is it possible to turn the motion blur off in the settings menu (if there is one) im assuming no? now im curious, gonna check if there is a demo lol because i have nothing better to do fml

[@fensthespook]

My thoughts as well.

[@thomasjenkins7506]

The Ethical Pixel according to the dev, yes there is a way to turn off motion blur.

[@poorlymadeproduction]

Early access is lowering your standards.

[@MARKOUTTV]

so it went from a bad Doom three to a bad Doom four

[@851852093114208513]

At first I thought it was funny that the shells seemed to be ejecting from the barrel of the shotgun. Then I realized that they're actually ejecting from a point in the center of the screen, so when you turn while firing the shell just poofs into existence off to the side of the screen

[@Shiirow]

Well they are "The Putrid One"s.... maybe one could be Putrid Neo.

[@doibantikov2486]

I think the dev grasps why Doom 2016 was fun, but doesn't quite understand how to facilitate that fun with actual tight design.

[@zredfernhall]

lol'd at the "alternative facts" :P Thanks Jim. I needed that today.

[@iomar90]

"They are also probably will try to eat you"

[@Rakinjo2]

Well, at least the thing tried to warn you.

[@dontrestyourhead]

I lol'd when the thingy ducked under Jimmy's bullet and he was so annoyed he replayed it a couple of times.

[@toomanyaccounts]

well at least he showed that the miss was not due to bad hit boxing but the mob dodging.

[@danlei88]

I can telepathically sense when Jimpressions are uploaded. Nice!

[@kevinwilson455]

I just get a tingling sensation in my anus

[@danlei88]

Jim Sterling works in mysterious ways, I suppose.

[@gregorybennett]

I honestly don't think it's a bad game... looks like someone put serious time and effort into making it.

[@darkstrikeofbass]

That slight twist of the crosshair is fucking with my head.

[@adampoole948]

ubisoft got really lazy with it's latest far cry game lol

[@DozifJuggles]

the lighting, terrain and texture quality was quite good in this one. music too

[@XfStef]

why DAFUQ do people still believe motion blur is something you would like in a game? developers, especially indie ones, DON'T put motion blur in your games, it's absolute SHIT, ALWAYS, there are NO EXCEPTIONS!

[@azurebookllet9216]

Motion blur at high speed racing in San Andreas was cool.

[@XfStef]

but it didn't cover every inch of the screen, there were parts that weren't blurred, in the center of the screen, and even then I disabled it

[@XfStef]

I still don't care. I always turn it off, regardless of who made it or what technology it uses.

[@georgesears934]

Void Walker? Another prototype of Huey's?

[@ArchmageOfAnarchy]

No, Voidwalker, 1/3 Demon with Taunt for 1 Mana.

[@swordofsharpness]

10:28 Yes, Jim, you should shoot at them while firing. :P

[@morvodeathbringer954]

Your intro there jimmy boy made me laugh for the first time in 13 years.

[@PiSSPiSS2020]

I feel like I'm watching Polygon play Doom all over again

[@allowableman2]

Did we jump cut at 6:25?

[@Leiwynn]

They have sound but no animation for the "pump" of the pump action shotgun

[@coralinekozun7325]

OH MY GOSH THEY DO THEY DO SOUND LIKE WARIO GAME OF THE YEAR 10/10 RAVIOLI RAVIOLI LIFE IS PAIN AND IT STOPS WHEN YOU DIE

[@madengineerkyouma]

They sound like Wario... Alex Faciane will love this game.

[@haruhisuzumiya6650]

[@danmccarthy2958]

Telling you about double jumping before telling you how to jump? The tell tale sign of a 10/10

[@VariantNode]

Kill List is a BRILLIANT film. I'm glad I finally heard SOMEONE talk about it.

[@danielrandall1548]

Revolver (6 shots) doesn't need to be reloaded. Awesome advance in technology, bullets that transport into the chambers.

[@onsholo]

This actually looks like it could be a good game.

[@hihosh1]

It may not be an asset flip, just last year a large collection of rock faces, etc.. Was on Sale from Blender Guru, the developer may have used that collection for his/her game?

[@Brutalearll]

you mentioned dsp! hes going to do a full 50 min video of how you are a bully and to donate to him to pay his bills

[@AltimeterAlligator]

Is Rocky Surfaces the brother of Rory Fingers?

[@AbbasKhan9364]

Really anticipating your review on Resident Evil 7, good to see you enjoying it so far :)

I'm waiting for Life of Black Tiger's review.

[@haruhisuzumiya6650]

Zack West bearhugger and i thought that too.

[@LegendaryMythril]

for some reason, it wasn't until this video that my brain processed that jim's accent is this weird pseudo-english, probably due to extended exposure to mississippi

[@UnaccountedFour]

Leadwerks. Pump Action Captain was made with the Leadwerks engine.

[@toomanyaccounts]

At least these devs did encode areas that if you hit you did certain damage so headshots can be done in this game.

[@codyw518]

I love watching your old videos Jim

[@LotarWc2]

If I remember things correctly than: dev decided make a shift from Doom's aesthetic to Serious sam. I remember that I had a little argument with him on GL page. It's true if I don't mixed together 2 different GL submissions.

[@needlessToo]

One thing I want to know is how can you fuck up shooting mechanic, the one thing gaming nailed down perfectly since Quake days?

[@orchid9]

'This is badly designed!' - No, Jim, there is double jump and it was told you just minute ago. You forgot because you tried to tell us that shooting was off but in fact it was that the enemies have proper hitboxes.

[@lucsommerland9293]

This game looks good! I like the satisfying deaths to the enemies and the variety. I might actually by this game. Reminds me of games like shadow warrior which I love. I think you were way to harsh on this game

[@SilverGroveCult]

How many bullets does that revolver have before you reload XD

[@TigerhawkT3]

At 0:47-0:57, while the Hermit introduced himself at the top right of the screen, the bottom of the screen was telling you that you can double jump.

[@JallenMeodia]

I have recently played a lot of DOOM 2016 and yes, this really wants to be it. In fact I had a thought that it really couldn't be that hard to cobble together a similar feeling game...guess I was wrong, very wrong. Maybe it's the metal music.

[@Jandau85]

Of all the insults thrown our way in the opening sentence of a Jim Sterling video, none have been quite as insulting and brazen as this one...

[@rockinchimp]

Having a bit of deja vu with this, swear I dreamed about this game a couple of nights ago.

[@clanwargods]

"AM A PUTRID ONE, AM A GONNA WIN!" Lmao!

[@Kethriss]

Say what you want, Jim. But that was some fucking hitbox porn.

[@SyraxV]

sick in bed and being lulled to sleep by Jim's sweet sweet voice.

[@OscarRobbing]

'He fucking twitched at the last second'

[@ChristianNeihart]

I resent being called an "Alternative Fact." I thought you loved me, Jim! I'm sorry I had to pull my pledge!

[@MilanOodiah]

Yeah, for real, this doesn't look all that bad. Obviously needs some work and fixes but it looks like it could turn into something alright and it's in early access too so improvements should be coming along.

[@vladerag]

Jim, does your mouse have a sensitivity switch on it? you often talk about messing with sensitivity but I never see you pause.

[@Pikachu790]

Some gaming mice have sensitivity buttons on the side. I have one myself, it just lets you get more DPI with a press of a button, or less if you desire.

[@jemw6453]

The way the faux reflection glare has been done on the title screen makes it look like the game is called Void Wanker.

[@nervoussuffermaker]

The game looks alright. If you can't hit enemies with suprisingly well made hitboxes (more precise than lots of AAA titles, actually)- that's on you, Jim. The game looks raw and needs more time, but "voiding the bowels" and "everything is a mess" is an overstatement even at that stage.

[@superbad8008]

The first enemies have Spider-Man reflexes. What a difficulty curve.

[@playinglikeameng7163]

if I made a KZbin gaming channel and recycled Sterlings bit would that make me an asshat flipper?

[@sophiaisbased9621]

Nope. That would just make you an asshat. (But I would love to hear Jim say: "Hello you asshat-flipping ________")

[@playinglikeameng7163]

only assets asshat flip xD

[@sophiaisbased9621]

I think I have found the perfect thing for Jim to say: Hello you asshat-flipping evil midgets in cloaks (Which is probably the first thing said at every meeting of Konami executives #FucKonami )

[@playinglikeameng7163]

I like it xD

[@Rickbearcat]

This game is a hell of a lot better than what you've been recently showing us.

[@BloodyBobJr]

Sweet Little Baby Jesus Jim whenever a map topic comes up you say "It helps to have a map"! That's gotta be in reference to Guise of the wolf isnt it?

[@thomasjenkins7506]

i do have to say that you not being able to hit a moving a target isn't really a valid criticism.

[@Wveth]

To be fair, the way they move is kinda bullshit.

[@Ravenclanner]

not nearly as bad as these games usually are. If Jim would've double jumped like it told him or like he did a few times without realizing it, 'platforming' as it is wouldve been easier. Those enemy movements are a bitch though. If it was only a few bucks I wouldnt be pissed off. Seems like the guy's at least trying/improving.

[@LostScot]

I approve of the gibbing at least. And the assets themselves don't look too bad. Which makes a change. Maybe the developers are heading in the right direction and by Putrefaction 4 it could be good!

[@RScamble]

I feel the game is running below 60 fps (even it recorded at 60 fps). This may interfere with the aiming.

[@radagastaddams3703]

still remember the first time I learnt of GravyChrist & his blessed savoury teachings.

[@RpiesSPIES]

"You alternative facts" I feel dirty.

[@SteamDeckGameplay]

The developper is just using a Unity asset called "UFPS : Ultimate FPS", by the way www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/2943

no Hud is different.
