Civvie 11 - Retro FPS Boomer

I, for one, wouldn't be surprised if he goes on a full-on tankie rant. But until then, I'll just let myself be pleasantly surprised on how he managed to keep politics out of his videos in $CURRENT_YEAR. I get the distinct feeling he's being tardwrangled in the background, so the moment his ego gets too big for that is the moment he'll slide downhill.
He made a bunch of commie jokes in the You are Empty video.
 
I have no idea what to say about Civvie not immediately seeing how brilliant Cruelty Squad is. He says he gave it twenty minutes and that's more than enough time to see how good everything is. The game has really tight controls and everything is satisfying to play. The level design starts out good and the levels are short enough that twenty minutes WILL get you to the good shit. Unless you explore, and if you do that, you should have gotten more drawn in just from seeing how much effort went into each and every single level.

Then again I'm the kind of guy who was immediately drawn in by Cruelty Squad before it became this big meme game and I fucking adore the soundtrack so maybe it's just a game that was right up my alley but I can't imagine playing it for twenty minutes and just deciding it's pure trash and refunding.
Did you watch the whole video? He actually liked the game.
 
He played Alien: Resurrection and have been going through old Build games, so maybe the console version of Powerslave will make an appearance one day?
I guarantee it. There's Powerslave EX that's out there and I know how you have to download some homebrew fixes to get it to work. That and Night Dive appears to be doing an official remaster soon. It will be a golden opportunity for him to go over the console version (that plays more like a gory Metroid Prime, so automatically a way better Metroid Prime) and the (sorry to say) mediocre Build Engine version. But perhaps Night Dive can massively improve upon the Build version?

Both Powerslave games are good imo, the console one is the better game, but the DOS version is still one of the better Doom clones besides the more famous ones like Heretic or Dark Forces, as long as you play it on a source port, because the original DOS version had very slow strafe movement for some reason.

I hope he waits for the Nightdive remaster, because Powerslave EX is based on the PS1 version of the game, which had cut down levels compared to the Saturn version.
 
At them. He made more in the Singularity video too.
Those were sarcastic, but he was equally scornful against potential soapboxing in the latest video (yet there was doomposting anyway, wow)

Gman just did a video about Alice too. Haven't watched this yet but kind of odd... Is there a remaster or something on the way?
A new game is coming out sometime soon-ish. I liked Civvie's video on the first game way more than Gman's. Gman has gone downhill in quality in recent.

I heard Gman also has a habit of rushing reviews just to be first, and being flat out wrong about the game he covers because he didn't take the time to check.
 
Gman at this point is just the same repetitive jokes over and over again, not to mention using the FaceApp smile on almost every single goddamn thumbnail.

Civvie also has an habit of repeating jokes, but somehow it doesn't come off near as obnoxious as when Gman does it.

At this point he should embrace his inner coomer and review only hentai games.
