Pretty awesome you can get away with making a Chainsaw Devil Simulator game without having to deal with getting the rights

[@northropi2027]

... y'know i was wondering where your comment was

[@6sinegohwan336]

95% guns and 5% cool ass chainsaw arms. I can see its a real chainsaw man.

[@flozwadthemagician7557]

I played the entire game and never noticed your voice but replaying it I hear it now

[@justinl8791]

Yep. Well, CyberChainsawMan doesn't have supernatural powers so it's all good. Kinda. I think. Seriously tho, why aren't they making a balls to walls Chainsaw Man licensed action game? It's money on the table.

[@jasonmarcus6940]

Johnny Turbo’s true name was Denji all along

[@GmodPlusWoW]

I reckon Super Eyepatch Wolf would be pretty hyped to hear that. After all, he too is an enjoyer of Chainsaw Man. And Fear & Hunger, but that's a different story. I don't know if Civvie would be able to vibe with that game, but odds are that MandaloreGaming has found an appreciation for it, due to it being Berserk as hell. (incidentally, Mandy also did a NecroVision video way back when)

[@travistotle]

Totally agreed. I'm not sure why everyone feels like they need to be the Angry Video Game Nerd. Like, I don't know if this is a hot take, but am I the only one who has more fun watching people cover games that are actually GOOD than crappy shovelware?

[@spartan3924]

Feel like Civvie's insults to Maw should be added into the game, maybe in a new game + mode where Johnny has a tongue

[@leobanks6111]

Make it an argument with the name "Voice of a mad man" that just adds Civvies insults to the game as you kill enemies and trigger cutscenes

[@JambiShine]

Right?! So good. Sounded like a Shoresy insult rant.

[@Uncle_Roadkill]

Civvie channeled Mr.Regular here

[@weirdalexander8193]

I’m going to use some of those.

[@hazukichanx408]

He eloquently expressed my sentiment toward Maw and his bullshit. First he makes you off him four times in his stupid deathmatch arenas. Then you extinguish him again in a cutscene. He comes back and kills you in another cutscene, and then you have to mow through most of another episode to get back to him, slaying about two dozen clones of him along the way. And then the five-stage boss fight with adds and environmental hazards, and another four-stage boss fight, and finally another frigging boss fight. Not enough expletives in the world to give that fricker the verbal lashing he deserves, but I wholeheartedly believe that Civvie did as much as any mortal could ever hope to... and it does soothe the pain.

[@TheJestre420]

Referencing Robocop and then not using a clip of "Well give the man a hand!" for that part must have taken a considerable amount of restraint.

Some small things Civvie missed: -If you press E on top of Johnny's car, you can actually stand on top of it shooting your other weapons while still being able to pilot it alongside using *its* miniguns and rockets, akin to the game's original episode 1 art back from early access. -The projectile capturing secondary for the plasma rifle applies to ANY projectile in the game, including your own. A cool strat is to fire a set of multi rockets, capture them, and then throw your now buffed-damage rockets towards high damage enemies. The combat depth absolutely rules in this game.

[@Claymann71]

This is absolutely MENTAL BONKERS & I love it! Playing Cultic & Amid Evil atm but TO is on my list after! \m/

[@overmind06]

there's a better use for plasma amo, lock on a big enemy and hide behind a wall. it does damage even through walls as long as you're in range lol you can clear enemies one floor below you by aiming at the ground hahah

I think it was mentioned in the previous video but bears repeating here: Turbo Overkill has a secret level for every regular level. Not one secret level per episode. A full secret CAMPAIGN. Granted the levels tend to be only a few minutes each but that's EVEN MORE Turbo Overkill. It also has a built-in randomizer and enemy multiplier. Game's big.

So apparently this was made by the same guy who made the Total Chaos mod for Doom 2. To be able to nail two games COMPLETELY different in tone speaks volumes to this guy's talent

[@karelvranovsky7155]

I am well aware that a youtube comment does not mean much (in fact it is probably as close to meaningless interaction as human can get), but I still feel like I need to point this out: The simple act of effort and a degree of honesty that goes into videos like this (And Civvie's channel in general) still has a rippling effect that ultimately makes the world a bit less terrible place to live. Civvie treats his audience with respect - much more than a simple glance may suggest - and as sad as it may be, that is becoming a rare commodity. On top of all the actual hard work that goes into making content from a technical standpoint, this basic respect for audiece is amazing and should never be taken for granted. People should remind themselves of the value in that alone. So what I'm saying: Civie's content is good shit because even if you don't agree with him, you know he isn't bullshitting anyone, people should never forget to remind him how much that is appreciated. Cheers.

[@Haru-spicy]

40:07 we thought civvie was talking about a flamethrower when he said "I'm gonna roast him" five minutes ago, but in retrospect that might have been more merciful

If you end up needing a good horror game to cover, the same guy who made turbo overkill made a mod for Doom 2 (the original one) called Total Chaos that also really good, he’s planning to give it a standalone release at some point, but to my knowledge he’s still porting the assets
