Gonna make a quick comment on why I thought the fan translation patch wasn't good. Didn't want to waste time in the video. The first line of "It is true I killed my mentor, yet I am not his murderer" is changed into "Mentor, I had no choice...". It removes 90% of the weird mysticism the game has, along with removing incoherence that's supposed to be that way for story reasons so they accidentally nuke parts of the plot. Plus it makes the dialogue a lot less charming.
You should pin your comment for visibility.
"It is true I killed my mentor, yet I am not his murderer" suggests to me that he just hacked some dude's brain and killed him that way.
The fan translation patch removes everything it considers "weird" and makes the translation smoother. However the writer clearly didn't understand the game or its story as they removed all the intentional weirdness, I mean it's pretty clearly that there is something severely wrong with your character's mental state and their perception of reality.
MandaloreGaming hey mandalore I've been a fan for a couple of months now and I think your videos(especially your reviews) always feel very genuine and straight to the point while also being funny, but that's aside from the point, I was just wondering how I can drop recommendations to you? Like do I have to message you on twitter or somewhere else? Because I really want to recommend Oblivion or Morrowind(any ES game really even the weird ones like Redguard) overall you've been a saving grace since I've lost interest in most youtubers since they kind of lost their charm
I've heard that the translation is fine and is fairly literal, it's just the writing is strange. I wish it described stuff in a more obvious way, but at the same time I like how often each word can have a deep or even multiple meaning.
Also brozouf can be translated as "dosh".
"Here's a starter SMG. It has two fire modes, full auto, and fuller auto."
Not only was this made by 40k fans, this was made by Ork players

Stupid people make it difficult when they focus more on making themselves sound smart when analyzing a game instead of just getting to the point. I've seen part of a three hour review of a game where a guy just repeat one point for 10minutes to pad time

Oh do I have news for you.
@Brupcat oh yeah ? Tell me then
Some of my favorite things in this game:
1. killing other players by overdosing them on medicine,
2. hacking a turret for manual control and having a second player throw it, like any source engine game, it flies much farther than it should
3. your legs are ok
4. killing small critters reduces the karma meter you never heard of
5. killing everyone in the main base just for fun and profit before reloading it
6. failing to hack a door, and being hacked by the door. the only way out is to hack yourself
"Being hacked by a door" seems like the most creative failstate of any videogame ever...
I want a door to hack me, honestly.

Installed a translation mod... the story's actually really impressive. It's trippy and surreal, but it's pretty clever, and everything that seems deranged at first actually makes sense in a really dark, unsettling way.
Also it's worth pointing out - if you don't read all the optional text in the library etc, you miss out on a massive part of the puzzle; that there's a freaky process by which someone can become essentially immortal, like becoming a Lich, through cybernetics and magic... but in order for this transfer to happen, their mind has to be locked into a looping state.
Oh, and the opening area with the portal - that's a forest, except all the trees are dead. That's also something explained in the library.
Ouuu tell me more.
What translation mod are you using?
I've been trying to finish the game for years but i still cant get hooked.
Perhaps the story could help me
@Bilbo Fappins lol they're part of our world's lore so why not
@Bilbo Fappins Tru, tru, I used to be afraid of those, now I cherish them as sort of reminders that we all move in loops, sometimes spirals in this universe, maybe it's the mind's way to show you the cycles of Samsara? :D
You guys realise it's possible to do metaphysics without drugs, right
At the 0:25 mark, the 'I killed my mentor, but am not his murderer' is a reference to the H.P. Lovecraft story, 'The Thing on the Doorstep'. The first line of the story: 'It is true that I have sent six bullets through the head of my best friend, and yet I hope to shew by this statement that I am not his murderer.'
Damn where was this when I commented on that. I always feel obligated to mention it when people comment on it because I think it’s a cool reference. There’s no way those tabletop nerds didn’t know
That was such a cool story, I'm happy to hear a reference to it somewhere! I didn't catch that, good eye
What was it about ?
@@dragos8839 a thing on a doorstep
@@dragos8839 I haven't read it but it's probably that his friend turned into something that was not his true self and so the protagonist had to put him down.
Full Auto .... AND Fuller Auto ... this broke me
xD This might be the best game ever made
09:32
It's a submachinegun that you can use at range. Not because it's accurate, but because with that many bullets it's impossible to miss completely.
Yup...and that's why "effective range" is a misleading stat...yes, my individual shots are not accurate...but I'm putting out so much lead that something is bound to hit you no matter what.
I love the sound of the "fuller auto" setting. It sounds like a war cry with a bit of nervousness from holding such power in your hand.
explain to me how a bunch of french guys using the source engine made a game with more creativity, variety, imagination and fun than most triple a developers in the last decade. wtf.

This REALLY seems like the kind of game that needs a sequel, to smooth out those roughs and iterate upon the cool style and atmosphere and nail some of the gameplay concepts down.
It's also the kind of thing that could only really be spawned by a very specific group of people, in a very specific place, at a very specific time.
Suffice it say that we may get a reboot/remake/sequel, it will not be the same.
@@CallanElliott What if the reboot just made the stupidly long hallways shorter and such?

So basically the story is about a dude who’s stuck in a dream.
A very wacky dream where he shoots, gets brouzouf and repairs his legs.
"You guys ever play Silent Hill?!?"
-Mandalore, about to terrify his friends
Started playing the game.
I am now convinced a 7 year old desigined the weapon balance.
"How many rounds should the pump shotgun hold?"
"32! BAM BAM BAM BAM!"
"How many bullets should the smg shoot out in a second?"
"All of them! BRRRRRRRRRT."
"When should the minigun be unlocked?"
"You start with it! Miniguns all around!"
"How do you avoid bullets?"
"SWORDS THAT EXPLODE WHEN YOU HIT PEOPLE WITH THEM"
Toucan Sam It's everybodys type of game.
You say it like, it's a bad thing...
I just laughed so hard it hurts
i mean it IS inspired by 40k, which as mandalore explained in his fire warrior video, 40k is balanced by "that kid" with his everything proof shields with all the "that kid"s being lead by the supreme kid who balances everything out but makes sure his stuff is still the coolest
I'd say that's the good kind of power creep... the awesome creep.
This game is a surreal dreamlike 40k-inspired french hellscape of a universe. I still need to finish it.
Spicy_Chicken_God pls do a let's play
Good luck on that one bro! Seems like some spots are ridiculously difficult in solo play. well at least difficult with the damn death/health system.

I love that Mandalore started seeing cycles of guilt everywhere after playing this game - you know a game is good in a Lovecraftian sort of way when it actually drives you little crazy and makes you obsess over hidden patterns that may or may not actually be there

You know, for a game that’s very derivative with its art style, it’s an insanely good PR move that they just own it. It’s totally alright to just straight up admit “yup, we kinda modeled the art style after 40k, we liked what they did.”. Props to the devs.
I'm pretty sure the design philosophy for this was someone asking "Should we add this?" and some one answering "Sure why not!"
"Sure, why not!" is written on all their walls.
40k design philosophy in a nutshell
Yoko Taro's design philosophy in a nutshell.
*You gain Brouzouf*

Bullshit! Ultra-failed attack!
I fucking love this game, it's so weird and original.
It's the little things like them writing "Bullshit! Ultra-failed attack!" Instead of some generic line like "attack failed" or whatever. Really gives the game character.

“Here’s a starter SMG. It has two fire modes, full auto, and fuller auto.” *Flashbacks to “No full auto in the building!”*
French anedoct :
The name of the developement studio (Streum On) is a stylized writing of the word 'stremon' which the verlan for monster.
This may also explain why the best gene is called "MetaStreum" (a "MetaMonster" if you will)
I'm highly interested in your lifestyle
@@johnsmith-eo3nz yeah, same
My mind got fucking blown, and I'm french
Perhaps we should precise that verlan is a type of slang by wich we invert scillabes
You forgot to mention something that I love about this game: every NPC is killable. Every. Single. One. And they all give Brouzouf when killed. Those random NPCs milling about in HQ? Killable, and worth a pretty good amount of Brouzouf if you can do it without dying. Your Mentor and Commanding Officer? both killable, although doing so won't unlock the ending early or anything like that. Necessary NPCs in the missions? Killable, though you'll have to restart the mission if you want to actually progress in the story. You keep the Brouzoufs from killing them though. Even that cryptic Mysterious dude who appears in your dream when you Game Over is killable and gives you a pretty tidy pay packet when you shoot him in the face with a Bear Killer or vaporize him with Triangular Gate. This is not only hilarious but also useful, since money is so all-important. Sure, you lose some karma sometimes when you do it, but you can fix your karma with maintenance for some reason, so karma loss only lasts until you press the repair button. Besides, they just respawn when you reload the area anyway so there's basically no reason to not just cap your coworkers in the head right before heading off for an optional mission.
Wait really? You can just fix karma loss that easy?
@@st.haborym if your karma is broken just fix it.
The combat scene with the Swat 4 music is just *chef kiss*

Ive played for a while but one consistent thing ive noticed when playing with others is that every single one of them has seen this review and said it was the reason they bought it. The only ones that didnt were like me and found it earlier. Your video has done so much to draw in fresh players that its become a side hobby of mine to teach people to play the game
I'm like you,I found the video after EYE,but this video might be the very reason this game gets a community big enough to warrant a sequel.
I didn't buy it, a buddy of mine gifted it to me so that me, him and another dude could all coop it together.
@St. Haborym 90% of friends on my steam account, I met through eye. 99% of my discord friends, I met because of eye in some capacity. Co-op is what makes the game amazing
I went near the city where Streum On is located, and trust me when you stroll around some cities nearby you feel like you're in E.Y.E

Echo mandalore is superb...and i don't even know how i found him XD
I found him cuz I was curious about EVE and his is the only good comprehensive review that I could find. He encouraged me to try it out. I was not disappointed so I subbed to his channel.
If Bioware didn't cause Jewtube to delete original mandalore's channel, he would be way more popular. "Surrender shepard" was all the promotion anyone would ever need
He makes very good reviews. They are funny but also on point and contain some advice.
That's really nice of you to say my man. Still 20k isn't too shabby for doing stuff like SS13 and Snowblind!
"A story where werewolves will debate you why your species is bad"! I'm hooked.
sometimes these sort of games get lost in obscurity for a bit and then you find them and go "wait why the hell is this just now being heard about"

"How do I play this game?"
"You gain brouzouf"
For those who didn't get the movie references.
1. Ghost in the shell. The most obvious one about cybernetics and terrorists in a cyberpunk world
2. Enemy. Just like in the later, the protagonist has a split personality problem that manifests itself
3. Groundhog day. The protagonost has to live through a certain episode of their life over and over before discovering something about themselves.
So basically you are interracting with projections of your split personality, while reliving through the same cyberpunk world over and over again.
@Anonymous Anonymous Are you daft? He's talking about Ghost in the Shell, which involves terrorists as a part of the plot. Why would you try to seem like a bad ass when you know absolutely nothing about the thing he specifically mentioned?
@@CrizzyEyes tbf eye is not about terrorists primarily.
@@mourad3795 "Are you daft? He's talking about Ghost in the Shell, which involves terrorists as a part of the plot." Reread what he wrote.
@@FrogWalrus OP is saying E.Y.E. is more about the conflict between the Jian and the Culter. I understand that ghost in a shell includes terrorism as part of the plot but in E.Y.E. the terrorism committed by the player character is more to do with the bringing down of the Jians. I acknowledge he was talking about ghost in a shell but I just wanted to make it clear that divine cybermancy is largely not about terrorism outside the conflict between the Jian and Culter Dei.
Enemy is not about split personality pleb

@DrTheKay ...What?
Look up Noah Caldwell Gervais' videos on it and it's DLC. Around an hour and a half of solid writing just for one game.
The ai in isolation didn't age very well. In fact I'd say the entire game didn't age very well
Its a good game but its singleplayer so theres not much to talk abt this far from release. I liked it alot tho.

@Adrien Di Giovanni It's a running joke in some of mandalore's videos' comment sections. Don't worry about it.
At 7:59, I love the giant nuclear-looking strike and enemies on fire running around accompanied by just "DAMN! FAILED ATTACK!"
Excidium (used here) is a micronuclear cannon, so it's not just a nuclear-looking strike.
This review ended up making me buy the game.
I even bought it for my friends, a four-pack for dirt cheap. One of them always says that the game is greater than it has any right to be.
It's a blast.
I have been so tempted to get this and this vid made me simultaneously more and less likely to buy it.
Get it, even though it's my favorite game I have to admit that it's not for everyone, and it's rough as hell, but once you get to it's great, it's like someone made a Warhammer 40k mod for deus ex but on the hl2 engine and on DMT.
Still, I recommend you buy it, just for the multiplayer alone

I absolutely love this game because of how weird and unusual it is. All the faults and attempts to make it interesting made it all the memorable to me.
For next ones
Planetary Annihilation - Tale of Kickstarter failure
Binary Domain - Underrated TPS short
Dawn of War - History of the most changed in every iteration RTS game ever
Precursors - Russian Bugs attack Good Game
I actually didn't mind Planetary Annihilation, then again I didn't kickstart it, I bought it after the fact, when titans came out.
i NEED the hot take on Binary Domain
Mass Effect - The continuing devolution of a pretty good RPG.
I never managed to get precursors working, but it looked like a pretty good game.
TrueKaras I love the shit outta Binary Domain
This singular line sold me on the game in a way I've never been sold on a game before.
"Here's a starter SMG. It has two fire modes, full auto, and fuller auto."
I promptly bought the game without a second thought, installed, and am trying to get another friend to get it.
One important hint for people that decide to get this game. When equipping stuff, you can simply click once on the ammo/item and then click on any free inventory space to fill the slot with said item and you can keep on clicking free inventory slots. So: Click ammo in the armory, then proceed to click free inventory slots till you have the ammount of ammunition you seek. Saves so much time. In my case I went down from 1min or so to 10-15 seconds for a full load.
Also, exp gained is based on damage dealt. Hacking is something you should level somewhat. And thats all I got for now.
I love all things EYE and when I saw this recommended I immediately watched, and unlike a lot of the usual "this game is impenetrable" videos, you made a damn good effort and a damn good video about one of my favorite flawed games!
Also I've now gone back and watched almost all of your reviews and I have gotta say (as an old lurker and currently on-and-usually-off 4channer) I am happy your videos are slowly feeling less "/v/ish" and you have really developed your own voice and critical style. You kind of remind me of Ross Scott if he covered more unique shooters and strategy games like you do.
Cant wait to see what you make next!
@St. Haborym you need reading comprehension my friend

What was the song at 9.43?
Apparently Brouzouf is the galactic currency inthe Valerian universe witch is a french space opera comic book from a guy named Pierre Christin
Yes, it's not irl slang. It's from the Valerian comics.
Christin is a master at his Art, love all his work.
10:04 "Bullshit! Ultra-failed attack!"
Never thought I'd see this get referenced in Ultrakill. For some reason
Goddamn your reviews are so fucking good it's unbelievable!
Really want an E.Y.E 2 personally.
You had me at "get the electrodes for the genitals ready."
I can't believe "Fuller-auto" was an actual reference..
I actually love it when games let me play the way I want and give me the same ending.
Like I hate how Dishonored was giving me "High Chaos" ratings just because I like to decapitate my enemies and throw the heads into walls of light. You can't judge me Arkane!
So we just not gonna talk about the knife shop at 3:06? "Le Stab - French Knives" ?
That is brilliant

*Looks at upload date*
Ha
Listening to this.
This was set in the Dark age of humanity in 40k wasn't it!
It's basically if Warhammer and Deus EX mixed together but instead on massive amounts of crack and cocaine.
@@regriefing1807 but crack _is_ cocaine.
"I'm here sooner than you expected, huh?" That's a poorly translated MGS reference. "Kept you waiting, huh?"
Except it's the opposite of "Kept you waiting, huh?" because he arrived early.
@@THExRISER hence why it’s a poor translation, I guess
@@DragonWinter36 Nah in this case the dialogue is accurate, since like I said, he did arrive early.
I'm not even sure that reference was there to make when EYE came out. Def has the same vibes though, so I'll allow it.
@@gratuitouslurking8610 MGS2 came out ten years before EYE lol
9:35 "THROUGH THE MAGIC OF DRUIDS, I'M INCREASING MY SPEED!!!"
That Man Of Steel reference got me.
I didn't even know there was a secret ending. I really enjoy the game, just for how many options there are. It's proof that even an unrefined game can be great.
I love your channel and how much effort you put into your videos. Even more i love how frequent your output is. Usually with review of this quality it takes months in between... say Mathewmatosis.
It's also quite admirable how much of your videos are kind of obscure, or rather just unpopular games. And on what spectrum.
That makes it kind of hard though to make suggestions. However. I looked through my steam list, since you only do games available there and came up with a few. These games aren't the most popular and rather complex, since these are the most common traits among your videos.
For space games... since you're an Eve player:
AI War Fleet Command & Sins of a Solar Empire
For RTS games, since they aren't made anymore and your vievers might not know these, but they're really good.
Universe at War & World in Conflict. Maybe Dragon Commander, but that's kind of special.
For FPS games:
They are probably the most recommended to you, since you've done E.y.e. and have Stalker, Timeshift, Singularity and AVP 2000 already on your list. I can recommend Call of Juarez Gunsliger for some really funny story telling, Cry of Fear a total conversion of Half Life and a really good horror mod, or Dishonored. Maybe even Arma or Operation Flashpoint.
Also if you're up for something a little older: Unreal, System Shock, Deus Ex.
Or FPRPS like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic or Warhammer End Times Vermintide, great Coop game.
And a few misc: Path of Exile, action RPG. Vampire Masquerades Bloodlines, RPG. Distance, racing. Talos Principle, esoteric puzzle game. Space Chem, hardcore puzzle game.
Or my favorite game of all time: Warframe
You have quite the list there at the end too, and that too is all over the place. Btw. If you do a game from that list i would say do Dawn of War for RTS or Stalker for FPS, but if you do Stalker use the Call of Chernobyl mod! It's outstanding.
Like i said, it's quite hard picking games for you. I could just pick a random game from my Steam and i'd fit.
I wish you fun and luck for your upcoming projects and review. You're doing great with this videos, just keep going!
Btw. is it possible to add you on Steam?
I played the hell out of sins of a solar empire when I was younger and forgot all about it. Thank you, my new friend, for reminding me.
The game definitely looks like its a mishmash of some of their favorite games, movies, etc. That’s a pretty risky move.
Like your name
RaTcHeT302 mine or the the milk wishes to converse?
I love the fact that the options for buying on Steam are "Buy one copy" or "Buy *FOUR* copies," because we just *KNOW* you'll want to share this mindf*ck of a game with your friends.
