Huu, I didnt know it used to be on GoG. Funny thing, this game had some stuff end up on the floot, like there were supposed to be "bad ending" and a 4th choice ending. There were also supposed to be more options and explanations behind your powers, also there were gonna be more monsters and levels that got cut.

Oh shit son, you got any info on those cut monsters? I love the monster design of this game, it's so surreal and weird, unlike any I've seen anyplace else.

I don't remember much, because this was from a very old article I read way back. But, there were supposed to be actual dog creatures you fight (instead of them appearing in just one level part of a stealth section), and there were supposed to be enemies who'd summon other creatures via a loud alarm sound (kinda what the walking tower guy does) and said monsters would mostly be the jailers or the guys armed with the PPSH, there was also supposed to be a sort off sniper type enemy that would use a sniper rifle similar to what you find

Summoners and snipers huh, cool. I can see why these were cut, combat takes place in very, VERY cramped corridors and hallways, it'd be annoying to face off against constantly respawning enemies with the weapons the player has.

Sucks about the dogs though. Could have made for some cool scares/combat sections.

Ye, also one thing that got cut was I think another miniboss enemy, which was supposed to be the ship's doctor or something. Also, the mechanic that was removed was you being able to use your powers to like a glimpse through the creature's eyes and briefly control them, but it would only be used in a few sections.

So Mental Echo could have been used to control monsters briefly? Hot damn that woulda been cool, but I guess Action Forms didn't have the time/budget to make custom viewmodels and animations for first person. Or maybe it just wasn't that fun, who knows.

I always wondered why we never had monsters that related to the doctors on the North Wind; The basic crew members, security team and even engineering personnel are here, but no doctor monsters? Sad that we missed out on frozen hell monster doctor kino.

Interested in how this video will do for him overall. Better than Thief probably but I struggle to think what his larger fanbase's tolerance for horror slavjank is compared to BOOMER SHOOTER GO PEW PEW.

In seven days it's already done better than the previous Thief video, twice as many views. And it's done better than the Thief video before that, and the Thief video before that BUT NOT the Thief video before that!

I think people are interested in slav jank because it is "vidya exotic" in some way. I don't know how youtube monetization works but his videos probably have a long tail where new viewers go backwards in the library. It's not like videos about old games go stale.

At the very least this video prolly raised some interest in Cryostasis, which is good, considering it's an overlooked gem of a game buried by other, blockbuster titles at the time. If it means a remaster or god forbid a remake, I'll welcome it with open arms.

I doubt we'd get that, but I'd be happy if it just returns on GoG.

Thief is boring. Is like watching someone play Deus Ex. Even with comedic stuff still boring.

Now slavJank is never boring and always something cool too see.

I wish civvie could cover the fallout and Morrowind slav mods.

Problem with Thief is that only few stages are actually fun to describe, everything is in the city/tombs/swamp and there isn't much of a twist in gameplay. With Deus Ex you at least have some interesting locales and the plot forseeing a ton of modern things despite being "Every conspiracy theory is right"

There is an alarming amount of troons in his discord server, I noticed. If I needed further proof that trooning out is nothing more then a mental instability, they are absolutely obsessed with posting selfies, and because people are too afraid to speak out, they actively encourage the choices because God forbid people get a reality check. What is wrong with this world?
