At 1:55 You say you enter the demon mode at random but this is incorrect. You enter the demon mode whenever you collect 66 souls. At 64 and 65 the screen flashs to tell you you are about to enter demon mode so you need to keep an eye on how many you currently have. So it is not random at all.
I just have one question... I remember the game being longer, with an icy stage with a bridge, a boss where you have to jump over a pool of lava to defeat him, a stage in a demented hospital where there were enemies with electric brains or something like that... is this game complete or not? and if not the other levels of the original one are in the DLC's? I even remember the game to have 5 chapters.
I remember those things too. My memory is shot, but were they not maybe from the original and its DLC content on PC? I have a particularly clear memory of that bridge that you mention.
I don't get it, what about the keyboard and mouse? You'd still have to sit up straight, right? I can only think of a controller, but that is not what people mean with pc gaming I guess
Anyone have any opinion on Weather or not Hell & Damnation could ever become Competitive Professionally? Like the original PK back in 2004, which Is greatly missed on the Scene (by me and many others)
It's 66 souls. Unless you have some tarot card that reduces the requirement. Or Hell Wars is different somehow. Gold is still the currency in the game. This is basically the original game with updated textures, more cutscenes, the voice of Duke Nukem, and blood splatters on the screen. Because that adds to the experience... somehow.
This version of the game is a ridiculous cash grab. If you type 'painkiller' into the Steam store search, you'll get about a dozen separate DLCs for 'Painkiller: Hell and Damnation.' Just get Painkiller Black, instead. You'll get the full game and the Battle Out Of Hell add-on without emptying your wallet.
Doesn't deserve 8/10 but for the few bucks I paid for it I'm enjoying traveling back in time to the classic Doom days. Weapons are unique looking and feeling, enemies interesting for the couple seconds you see them. I never played the original, so I can't really compare, but I guess I just wasn't expecting anything more from the game so I'm pleased with it lol.
Yes yes i REMEMBER shorting my time wating for half-life 2 by painkiller back in the day. I mast have played it like 15 times =) discovering all secret rooms and locations, picking up all treasures and unlocking all tarrot cards... good times =)
oh the irony.. and now I have to click "show the comment" to see your "relevant" comment. two people just made my day in one comment section, keep it going man lol
I haven't played Painkiller HD, but in the original Painkiller (of which Painkiller HD is based upon) Demon Form is very much predictable. Demon Form is triggered immediately after you pick up 66 souls, with a couple of flashes on the 2 souls before it.
umm seriously? you will count the tvs for every console generation?so everytime you buy a console you have to buy a tv too? it's like saying you need to buy a lamp everytime you buy a book
Also, using a controller takes slightly more coordination. It is much harder to get head shots and takes more timing and aiming. Anyone can steady a mouse for a headshot.....
you can be just as quick to turn around your view on a console that you are on a PC.The only problem is precision aiming on consoles. Painkiller doesn't need much precision aiming unlike COD.If you still don't understand here's an example: You need to turn around quickly in painkiller to shoot enemies that are behind you. In COD you need to turn around quickly and if you manage to pull off a headshot when you turn around that's one big advantage.This's my last reply there's no arguing.
Now granted Painkiller was never really about story, but is the story still there? i kinda liked how the story was set up in the original painkiller with Daniel trying to get out of hell back to his girlfriend.
Ok here are some answers to your 'rant'. Main answer it's an old school first person shooter, and the graphics aren't even bad you were probably just watching the video in low resolution.
you did not understand? I have to spill all the beans for you? console=buy in 2007 can play games up to 2013. pc=buy in 2007, have to upgrade in 2009, upgrade again in 2011, upgrade again in 2013 to play the latest game. OR buy pc in 2007 and play games up to 2010 with a much more bigger budget than console in 2007. it will sums up your ability of understanding if you can't even understand this. not only the build, you can sometimes ruin one game by installing OR not installing some programs.
yes, it doesn't officially called virtual console (only nintendo use that name which is a console too), but you can download a TON of ps1&2 for your ps3. ps4? I can count on psn for that. really? keep buying consoles? have you forgotten of the lifespan comparison between pc and console I mentioned just a minute ago? read it again friend. by compatibility issues I mean cards,cpu,custom tweaks etc. (entergamenamehere) will have issues with ATI card,or with AMD procie etc. or errors (BS,freeze,etc)
Greenman Gaming is selling it for £6 plus 20% off. Be warned, this is supposed to be a remake of the original using the UE3 engine, but it's missing about 20 levels from the original game and graphically it isn't that much better.
I don't know why you argue, it's common sense that PC gaming is superior in almost every aspect. It's not an opinion, there is nothing to argue about. It's like trying to argue that breathing argon is better for you that oxygen.
errr I guess not, my pc graphics card and cpu aren't strong enough to run it even on low-medium. so you're saying my 2011 pc won't be able to run games released on the same year, regardless of it price? you just ate your own argument. 360 and ps3 released on 2006 (and 2007). they can the run all games released 7 years after but not pc? imagine how $300 or even $500 pc from 2006 try to run 2013 games. let's close this conversation, I believe I nailed my point clear enough, my friend.
consoles have their charm and the new consoles are more than capable i jst prefer the precision of a mouse and the customization of a keyboard the nice graphics are cool too but look at the Indie games on steam some of them are just as good as some triple A titles
Yeah i've just got this, it's very much like Serious Sam 3. Which is great. I knew exactly what to expect though because i've played every Painkiller and Serious Sam game. SS3 is slightly better as they've added new shit, and the graphics are a little better. More effort put in to it. But both are great mindless fun.
errr that's just an example if you hadn't notice. simple as that? finding out what's wrong is (most of the time) so painful. have you ever been in any pc game forums? if you rarely experience issues, good for you then, but not for a lot of people out here including me. total non-gaming? not so, I can still run current gen games that are less demanding (mostly ARPG), and play any other games on my ps3. yes, every 2 years is an optimal time to upgrade pcs,if you want the optimal experience that is
Oh because your console has an integrated monitor and you can bring it everywhere and use it just like a laptop??? Laptops are very expensive because they are PORTABLE. It's all about desktop PCs, much better value than any console.
Great game. Very simple, but good. I completed it very fast, a shame it is'nt longer. And i really should have picked a harder difficulty than the standard one, i did'nt see the death screen once ;(
My old copy of painkiller decided to stop working when sp3 came out on xp. It was my favourite fps and still is. It is fcking HARD core and I am by no means rubbish at fps. I hope you can use a mouse and keyboard on the ps3!
Btw The Demon mode is triggered by getting 66 souls if i recall properly.
At 1:55 You say you enter the demon mode at random but this is incorrect.
You enter the demon mode whenever you collect 66 souls. At 64 and 65 the screen flashs to tell you you are about to enter demon mode so you need to keep an eye on how many you currently have. So it is not random at all.
Fair review.

I even remember the game to have 5 chapters.
I remember those things too. My memory is shot, but were they not maybe from the original and its DLC content on PC? I have a particularly clear memory of that bridge that you mention.
Nope they removed lots of levels
@@gos994 Did they? Shit man, do you know where can i find those levels?
Does it still have the gun that shoots ninja stars and lightning?
3:12 Ah, there it is~!
Good review, but give the game a 9/10 or a 10/10, it's a great old school game :). What sucks is IGN...a 5/10 for this game from them. IGN sucks. -_-
@@journey4109 I agree the game has too much DLC, but does it really have too many bugs?
I have heard that as a bonus they had also added original full painkiller and add on battle aout of hell. Is it true??
I don't get it, what about the keyboard and mouse? You'd still have to sit up straight, right? I can only think of a controller, but that is not what people mean with pc gaming I guess
I LOVED the graphics, beutiful gothic art style.
Great review!!
Shurikens and lightning right?
I hardly see any difference between this and the original Painkiller.
Shame that you had the video cut before finish.
Nicely done mate
Anyone have any opinion on Weather or not Hell & Damnation could ever become Competitive Professionally? Like the original PK back in 2004, which Is greatly missed on the Scene (by me and many others)
Why can you not wait for jan 22? it came out half a year ago.
Whoa is it just me or does the main character sound like duke nukem??? From duke nukem forever
Same voice actor
This guy has an awesome voice and also this review was pretty good in my opinion
Oh did it come out for consoles
or something?
can you turn off motion blur!?!
If the game was more unknown, people would like it
right right. I'm an OG of Call of Duty on PC (2003) but for a long time I've been playing FPS games on console and love controllers.
It's 66 souls. Unless you have some tarot card that reduces the requirement. Or Hell Wars is different somehow. Gold is still the currency in the game. This is basically the original game with updated textures, more cutscenes, the voice of Duke Nukem, and blood splatters on the screen. Because that adds to the experience... somehow.
do you recommend this game tho?

Just bought this one,cant wait to play it I havent played it since the original
How much did you get it for? I heard they are expensive now on ps3
Just bought it today.. again for the 3rd time, but now it is on steam, and forever...!
do u think it deserves more?
How do you figure?
This weekend all 14 games are on sale on Steam for 6.99 US
Yeh figured, same sort of role as well. Very different characters though. No wise cracks from Daniel.
Actually, this is not basically the original game. A lot of levels are not in this game.
Is Duke the narator?
Everybody knows that a console cost way more than a computer...
8 out 10? gotta be kidding us....
Just bought this for 2 quid love it
that it duke nukems voice right?
Why does the game looks like its running at 20-ish FPS? Not sure if the game is poorly optimized...
Yes yes i REMEMBER shorting my time wating for half-life 2 by painkiller back in the day. I mast have played it like 15 times =) discovering all secret rooms and locations, picking up all treasures and unlocking all tarrot cards... good times =)

Exactly. I'm baffled the reviewer didn't notice something so obvious.
Thanks for a cool, down-to-earth review.
if Painkiller wouldnt existed then Bulletstorm would never be made. man love both games much! :P
Good review, I had fun with the demo.
Got this game yesterday with the art book and stuff
I wish they added cool control like zooming
I... didn't expect a follow up question.
Did you think the game was bad?
about brevity... damn, the game costs 20 bucks. how much game do you expect for cheap money?
Just started this game on Nightmare mode - can't remember the last time I nearly rage quit on the first level of a game
umm seriously? you will count the tvs for every console generation?so everytime you buy a console you have to buy a tv too? it's like saying you need to buy a lamp everytime you buy a book
Also, using a controller takes slightly more coordination. It is much harder to get head shots and takes more timing and aiming. Anyone can steady a mouse for a headshot.....
just got all of the painkiller games on steam ow £12 wow looks good
how?

Why are you not bunnyhopping?
Is this Ps4 gameplay?
Great Review!
For deamon mode to make sense, you have to play on harder dificulty.
Now granted Painkiller was never really about story, but is the story still there? i kinda liked how the story was set up in the original painkiller with Daniel trying to get out of hell back to his girlfriend.

hahaha see? and you're saying that console is more expensive than pc? damn, you just made my day friend, I never laughed this hard in days lol
Ofcourse its cuts it! Toddlers can play modern 'FPS" games today (Although tbh I did play doom 2 when i was 4..) Great review
Everyone who can afford console gaming can afford PC gaming. True story.
this game looks awesome
I see they added a new weapon- a fusion of the pulse gun and the ripper from Unreal Tournament.
you did not understand? I have to spill all the beans for you? console=buy in 2007 can play games up to 2013. pc=buy in 2007, have to upgrade in 2009, upgrade again in 2011, upgrade again in 2013 to play the latest game.

Most people prefer gaming from their couch, instead of having to sit behind a computer

"Lets all blindly hate all mainstream games"
I wish they would make a new quake, this game reminds of quake so much
Not so easy, you have a KB/MS to worry about.
unless you get a bluetooth controller - but now your having the console
experience.
You can buy marijuana legally in some states now, and you can order it online legally as well from tons of places....
Actually Humble Weekly Bundle
im downloading the free weekend on steam....I might buy it
consoles have their charm and the new consoles are more than capable i jst prefer the precision of a mouse and the customization of a keyboard the nice graphics are cool too but look at the Indie games on steam some of them are just as good as some triple A titles
Isn't that duke nukems voice?
Why remake a game from 2004? It looks almost identical.
i know what you mean bro :(
i cant taste video games anymore too, but i try ad force my self to play
Great review. Character voice reminds me of Duke Nukem
HELL YEAH METAL FOR LIFE!!!!!
I was in Game and i opened the box to find it had a steam code inside, so i got this game for free. :D
Yeah i've just got this, it's very much like Serious Sam 3. Which is great. I knew exactly what to expect though because i've played every Painkiller and Serious Sam game. SS3 is slightly better as they've added new shit, and the graphics are a little better. More effort put in to it. But both are great mindless fun.

I still can't get past the rollercoaster section in the original game!
UT3 and Painkiller HD probably on the same stage now, good games with strong background, but they not so hot for mases. :(
my bad, I thought you have a tv in your house, really, I feel so terrible
Oh because your console has an integrated monitor and you can bring it everywhere and use it just like a laptop???
Laptops are very expensive because they are PORTABLE.
It's all about desktop PCs, much better value than any console.
Got it for 3.37 on steam.
PC gaming isn´t as expensive as everyone thinks, almost no one realizes that.
Great game. Very simple, but good. I completed it very fast, a shame it is'nt longer. And i really should have picked a harder difficulty than the standard one, i did'nt see the death screen once ;(
Gotta be him! DAT VOICE!
Free on Steam and I still wouldn't waste my time with it lol
My old copy of painkiller decided to stop working when sp3 came out on xp. It was my favourite fps and still is. It is fcking HARD core and I am by no means rubbish at fps. I hope you can use a mouse and keyboard on the ps3!
that's what i thought. it must be duke's voice
old school
