Civvie 11 - Retro FPS Boomer

The video really summarizes my issue with current day Civvie because it's actually entertaining. He basically lost all edge because he decided to never talk shit about indie devs and just keep his content to ever decreasing range of old games that aren't that notable to be remembered with the occasional slavjank, and when he actually goes into new indies it's basically a half hour of pure dicksucking.

I get what's he saying though and when you start to talk about these sorts of things like does and with as a large platform as he has, it can feel bad to shit all over something, especially smaller companies that may be incompetent but not really malicious or mean, just not good at what they do, so you don't want to call the retarded kid retarded, you just don't acknowledge his presence or damn with faint praise. It's too easy and doesn't accomplish anything except maybe generate some easy asspat clicks.

But when it comes to what Slipgate/3D realms is currently I think this shit is so off the mark and should know better and isn't just a one man show like Cultic (which was awesome) then gloves should come off. I just think he should be tougher on the fucking NewBlood cocksuckers personally.

Also, just saw that a Wrath dev posted in the comments:

Just some clarification: KillPixel Games isn't really a group of people, it's just me and my programmer friend. It's true that WRATH was my baby and I made most of the design decisions (for better or for worse) in addition to doing the majority of the art and sound -- textures, models, animation, fx, name/logo design, etc (I only did a texture set or so for episodes 2 and 3 and the rest were done by someone else). The Symbol (tentacle enemy) and the Lance (rail gun) were my final contributions to the game before I ended my partnership with 3D Realms in 2020. I agree that WRATH has many problems. Some are just plain poor choices/implementation on my part, some not, and some are the result of regrettable circumstances. I respect the people that were brought in to complete the game after I left -- I know the mess they inherited and I'm not sure anyone else could've done much better in that situation. I deeply believed WRATH had everything going for it, everything it needed to be a truly great FPS. I believed it so much that I dedicated my entire life to it. I went all in. I can rightly place the blame for WRATH's failure on certain 3D Realms leadership, but I can also blame myself. To varying degrees, I permitted the fatal blows WRATH was dealt during development. Developing a game is one thing, but developing one while simultaneously trying to protect it is something else. I truly, truly loved WRATH and believed in it and really did the very best I could, but I eventually had to face the reality of the situation, let go of it and step away. WRATH was an extremely painful lesson, but I still hope to do another game someday and succeed where I had failed.

Once you price something then you open yourself to criticism no matter how much time you invested in it. And if a review actually criticizes the game it would probably drum up more interest because it's not half an hour of "then this happens" without any mention of mechanics.

Like there's a weird idea you can't have something be with good and bad. Everything either needs to be entirely positive or negative, which is fucking weird when indie devs constantly try to ape genres that always had issues built into them but now don't exist because we can't get someone's feelings hurt.
 
Civvie is a cock sucking shill, that's all there is to it. You can criticize big and small studios alike all you want, only shills walk around the criticisms like eggshells. Gman comes to mind, when was the last time this hack made an honest review? Same goes for Act Man and any other grifter reviewer.
Thankfully, Civvie is still "honest" enough about what he likes and doesn't that I wouldn't label him as a grifter just yet. Him mainly playing older titles helps, but the videos on recent games have been largely just overwhelming positivity with little nuance. They're boring and borderline advertisements for the games themselves. Guarantee you he would be known as a paid shill if that's all he did, he should be glad there is a nearly endless amount of old jank FPS games for him to make videos on.

I mean, you can scream "shill" all you want, but when yer on youtube and being able to make connections with gamin studios, you wanna keep the bed clean as possible, since you can get games faster and rack up the view numbers more, which is like the #1 thing at the moment for any youtuber in the gamin space.

The idea of ammo starving players in a FPS is one of the worst ideas that was popularized in the last decade and a half. Only few high skill high reward weapons should be limited, everything else should have plenty for a person with enough skill in the genre. Forcing the player to switch weapons means you know you fucked balancing the weapons.
Even then they shouldn't really, take the Railgun in the quake series as an example, it'll 1 hit most mobs but if you miss you're a sitting duck, it's the perfect risk and reward.
 
New Civvie Chex Quest video is up. I had thought he already done a video on this. He's definitely referenced it before. Nice to see him change up his Doom experience by playing it on Nightmare. I had no idea there was a dev room in this game.

Really good review, it's heartwarming when you get talented people actually managing to do their passion projects successfully.

I had to take a screen capture of this particular diabeetus inducing moment.

Uh-huh, no arrogance. Except his Division video which just reeks of that shit...and frankly sounded like the same BS Extra Credits said in their video about the Division.


Aaaaaand what does the devs being trans or left have to do anything with Civvies review of Postal 4? You can accuse him of blatantly shilling for the game and ignoring all its flaws and problems and you'd be correct there. But at no point was he pushing any "woke" talks in that review at fucking all. Also, Im sorry has the writing in Postal, save for P1, been ever shocking? Even P2 had all the shock value of a fuckin South Park episodes.

imagine simping for a fat boomer shooter player
 
I tried to watch the Chex Quest video and the magic just isn't there anymore. He just isn't funny. That was a fast burnout. Maybe 2 years until officially declared a burnout?
I didn't mind it but my expectations are lower I guess. He showed off the game, he talked about levels, he cracked some jokes, big deal. The 3D Realms vibe check was more interesting but this one wasn't bad by any stretch. I can understand someone thinking it's boring but again, I'm not going in expecting to bust a gut laughing, I just see most of his content as someone doing playthroughs/semi-reviews of games I'm interested in.

Agreed. This one was honestly about the same as a lot of his old playthroughs/reviews in terms of quality. The problem is, we're already used to his format and style, and with the novelty gone the ha-ha factor also drops.

The thing that bothered me a bit was that Chex Quest has been meme'd/done to death. But it's not like he can make a video of Immoral Cumbat...

Looking at his comment section, this may have been a meme in his community so maybe he planned to release this as an April Fools. He released it a day later because he probably think it makes him look cool or something.
 
One thing I can be sure of is I sleep in ten minutes from hitting the pillow and pressing play on the Civvie vid. They are great for that purpose.
I don't hate them at all but you see one you've seen them all.

Yeah in order to stay popular and able to do your """""journalism""""" you need to be a sellout cuck. We know.
